Chapter 093: There Is a White Lotus at Home (9)
"Qiushuang, don't worry about it, my mother has thought about it, and my mother will go out to look for it in a while, and see if she can find a job!"
Not to mention Bai Bingbing, even Qiu Zhi, who was immersed in eating, looked at A-Niang with an inexplicable expression.
"Mother, what's wrong with you early in the morning? Is it unwell? Bai Bingbing's face was full of questions and answers.
Ah Niang glanced at the autumn shadow who was sitting on the side and was carefully fiddling with the nails of Danko, sighed secretly, turned her face to Bai Bingbing and said, "Niang is in good health!" Don't worry, eat quickly, go early after eating in a while! ”
Bai Bingbing was relieved to see that A-Niang was not in any major trouble except for a little black green at the moment.
When Aunt Niu saw Bai Bingbing coming, she spat on the ground, and then twisted her fat body and walked in front of Bai Bingbing.
"Didn't I tell you to come over early today when I left yesterday? Why are you here now? ”
Bai Bingbing didn't want to deal with Aunt Niu.
No matter how early she came, the first thing Aunt Niu said when she saw her was always that she was late.
She didn't bother to explain to her, and began to check them one by one with her hands and feet. If they need to change their clothes, they will help them change, and then they will sweep the floor, wash their clothes, and feed and wash them.
Aunt Niu looked at Bai Bingbing's busy figure, smashed it, and smiled with satisfaction.
Since there were only twenty-six people left, Bai Bingbing was quickly busy.
Aunt Niu saw that Bai Bingbing was idle, so she took out a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket and handed them to Bai Bingbing.
Bai Bingbing was a little flattered and took the sunflower seeds and ate them.
"Today is the last day here. You won't be using it tomorrow! Aunt Niu looked at the originally clear sky, and in a blink of an eye, there was a gust of cloudy wind. The warm sun doesn't know where to hide.
A gust of wind blew, and Bai Bingbing subconsciously tightened the tattered cotton clothes on his body. The two hands crossed each other in the sleeves, and asked in surprise, "Did you find someone else to do this again, don't mind!" Yesterday was my fault, I shouldn't be lazy. As long as I'm still here, I promise I'll never be lazy again! As he spoke, he sniffed his nose, giving people the feeling that he was about to cry.
Aunt Niu saw that her eyes were red, and tears were rolling in her eyes. His nose couldn't help but sour, and he hurriedly interrupted her: "You have been here for so long, I still don't know what kind of character you have." After today, there will be no one here. After a while, I will come here to settle your salary, and I also know the situation in your family, but I really can't find a job that suits you at hand, so it's better to do this. You go back and wait. I don't think the Zhou family wants a maid, if you need it, I'll ask someone to give you a message! ”
Since everyone has said this, Bai Bingbing is not good at saying anything.
It's just that she didn't expect that today would be her last day here.
She hadn't found out where these people had gone, so she let her go, did that mean they had found her yesterday? That's why she is in a hurry to transfer all these people, so that she can no longer find any clues?
The more Bai Bingbing thought about it, the more she felt that her analysis made sense.
"Auntie, who came yesterday?" Bai Bingbing asked tentatively.
Aunt Niu didn't want to say it. Then I thought that the other party was just a child, and the two of them had been together for so long. Although she scolds her a lot on weekdays, she is the only one here who talks to her the most anyway.
No matter what the reason, Aunt Niu felt that it was impossible for the other party to spread it everywhere if she said this, and it was precisely because of these people that she lost such a good errand, and if she could, she would like to stay.
"It's the people of the palace!" Aunt Niu said lightly.
"People in the palace? How did the people in the palace come here? If there is a lack of palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, shouldn't some able-bodied people be selected to serve in the past? How did you choose these people to go? Bai Bingbing asked suspiciously.
Aunt Niu blinked, looked around again, and made sure that no one was eavesdropping on the side, and then she magnified her worry and said: "I didn't want to tell you about this matter originally, but you have to promise me that these things I tell you are not allowed to mention to anyone, even you. Mother can't even say. If it gets out, those people will definitely not spare you! ”
The last sentence is obviously very threatening.
However, Bai Bingbing didn't mind, as long as Aunt Niu was willing to say the questions that had trapped her for a long time, not to mention that she took the initiative to say it, even if someone used a stick to pry, she wouldn't say half a word.
"Auntie, don't worry, my mouth is tight, even if others use a crowbar to pry, I won't say it! I swear! Bai Bingbing said and raised the three fingers of his right hand.
Aunt Niu thought about it again and again before she finally spoke: "Who said that these people entered the palace to be palace maids and eunuchs, they were taken away by the national teacher!" ”
Bai Bingbing asked curiously, "What is a national teacher?" ”
"It is the person who is specially for the emperor to call for wind and rain and bless the stability of the emperor's country, the reason why these people are gathered together and specially find someone to take care of it is the idea of the national teacher. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had such a good job. Aunt Niu patiently explained.
The more Bai Bingbing listened, the more confused he became, since it was the idea of the national teacher that these people get together, then why did he forcibly take these people away? Suddenly, an ominous premonition hit her, in fact, she had been thinking about this since she went back yesterday.
It was not difficult to see from the brutal treatment of them by those people that it was certainly not a good thing for them to take them away, and coupled with the tone in which the man had spoken to her before, it was obvious that he had expected something, otherwise he would not have shown a sad expression.
It's just that where does the national teacher want to take these people, and what are they going to do?
Aunt Niu knew that Bai Bingbing was very confused about this, in fact, she couldn't believe it at first, after all, it was too mysterious to say this.
"These people are useless in our eyes, but the national teacher said that these people are the most precious, and something called something can be extracted from them, which can make people live longer."
Bai Bingbing is even more puzzled, since ancient times, all the sons of heaven want to prolong their lives and live forever, so there are all kinds of strange things since ancient times, but most of them are still a kind of thing called alum. Let's not talk about whether this kind of thing is real, there is no such thing in people she knows.
Even if these people really have this kind of thing, wouldn't it be superfluous for the national teacher to do this.
"If these people can really make the emperor immortal, then why doesn't the national teacher directly find these people and refine them directly, and let these people get together and be taken care of by us, isn't it too much of a waste of time?" Bai Bingbing saw the doubts in his heart and said it.
Aunt Niu had the same idea as Bai Bingbing before, she also thought so at the beginning, and felt that the national teacher was a bit redundant, but later she knew that the national teacher was very useful in doing this.
"Before, I thought the same thing as you, but later I found out that this is not the case, have you noticed that the food you feed them every time is very strange, and it is also specifically explained that you are not allowed to steal the food here."
Bai Bingbing nodded, "That's what you said, could it be that there is something wrong with the food they eat?" ”
Aunt Niu praised: "You are very smart, no wonder you will be the one who has been here for the longest time, if you are the same as those who left before, you. Mother is going to be sad! ”
Bai Bingbing didn't think deeper about what she said to Aunt Niu, in her opinion, if she didn't have this errand, A-Niang would definitely peel her skin, after all, she didn't have an errand to make money, and the family wouldn't be able to open the pot.
"The food they eat is prepared by the national teacher, and after these people eat these things, they will expel all the dirt in their bodies. Vent. Come out, that's why the first thing you do every day is to change their clothes, and you may have noticed that the clothes you change for them every morning are extra dirty, and when the sun goes down, you change them again, and the dirt is much less. ”
Bai Bingbing nodded thoughtfully.
At first, she did notice this, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but when these people had a night's rest, they lined up. The excretion will be more because after the overnight time and in the afternoon. The decrease in excretion is due to the low amount of activity and the short amount of time.
Suddenly she remembered that when she was changing the man's clothes yesterday, she didn't see a single row. Leakage, just pants are wet with urine. That's just a little bit.
At first, she thought that maybe it was because he ate less, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
When she was changing her clothes today, she found that the clothes on these people were basically very rare. Leakage, no wonder Aunt Niu said that she didn't have to come here again today, it seems that these people have expelled all the dirty things in their bodies.
No wonder the people above specially explained that they were absolutely not allowed to steal and take away the things here, it seems that they are afraid that these people will become the same as these people after stealing them.
Bai Bingbing was cold when she thought of this, she turned her face and looked inside, and saw those people sitting there straight like wood, their eyes were empty and there was no expression, if it wasn't for the breath, it would be no different from death.
I think these people must have noticed this, and to put it bluntly, they are waiting for death, waiting for the sun to set, and those guards will take them to an unknown place and never breathe and speak again.
Aunt Niu wiped the corners of her eyes, "It's all poor people, this is no way, the national teacher said a word, who dares to object, besides, now it's using these people, if these people are not enough, maybe this method will be used on us in the future." He sighed uncontrollably. (To be continued......)
