87_87727 That night, after Bai Zhi had been busy all day waiting for Cheng Yuyan to go to bed, she returned to her cabin at the back, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw Li Junran holding a soft pillow and sitting on the bed. Although she didn't know exactly what the little girl was thinking, from the slightly upturned corners of her mouth, Bai Zhi could conclude that the little girl was going to think of something happy, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

Xu Zhi noticed that Bai Zhi was looking at him, Li Junran dropped the big pillow in his arms, jumped directly from the bed, and took out a small plate of pastries from the cabinet like a trick: "Sister Bai Zhi." ”

Bai Zhi shook her hand, and only refused as if the pastries in front of her were the leftovers of her eldest lady to give Li Junran this snack goods.

"I'm not hungry, you can eat yourself."

↓wan↓shu↓ba,a↙nsh↑uba.Li Junran's eyes flickered, and he saw that Bai Zhi didn't ask for it, and he didn't force it. In the Apocalypse Dynasty, only the eunuchs ate five meals a day, in addition to the three main meals in the morning, noon and evening, there were also afternoon snacks and supper. As for the families of ordinary people and those like Qiliu who sell themselves as slaves and maids, they will be eaten twice a day. The farmer family is also in the busy farming season, because of the relationship between the farmer who has to grab the harvest and grab the heavy work in the field, so he can improve the food and can eat half dry rice or dry rice. As for those who serve as slaves and maids, they usually eat the first meal from three to five o'clock in the morning, and the second meal at the time of Shen, with an interval of about twelve hours.

When Li Junran first came to the side of the Apocalypse Dynasty, he was very unaccustomed to this treatment. Even if she was promoted to a second-class maid later, served Miss Cheng Fu in Jing Yaxuan, and could eat extra snacks behind Bai Zhi, a first-class maid, the habits that can be developed in modern times cannot be changed overnight. So he planted crops on his own estate. raised poultry, Li Junran changed the recipe to open a small stove for himself, and bribed the creditor by the way.

Bai Zhi looked at Li Junran's obviously fat little face, and secretly said that her young lady really cared about this little girl, but when she thought of something, she was faintly worried about the little girl in front of her, and hesitated for a long time, but she couldn't help but choose to remind.

"Nanaliu."

"Huh?"

"The last time I came home, I was at home...... Are you okay? ”

Li Junran was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled why Bai Zhi suddenly asked her like this. Although after she returned to Cheng Mansion two days ago. In the back garden, the head blossomed again. The day after she returned to Lijiatun after she worshipped Dr. Xu as her teacher, she returned to Lijiatun for what happened, including how she was injured and her family was removed from the Li family. They all sued Cheng Yuyan. I remember that Angelica Angelica was also present at that time.

Although the ugliness of the family is not publicized. What kind of virtue is up and down in the four rooms of the Li family. Li Junran really didn't want to chew the root of her tongue in front of Cheng Yuyan. The reason why he is so frank is also because this kind of thing can be known by sending a cronie to inquire a little, rather than hiding it or trying to lie and deceive people. It's better to take the initiative to explain, and by the way, deepen that stupid impression.

But now, Bai Zhi clearly knows what the general situation of her family is, why do she suddenly ask like this?

"Sister Bai Zhi'......"

Bai Zhichang exhaled, suddenly got up and closed the wooden window, and then carefully checked the door, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping around, he lowered his voice and attached it to Li Junran's ear, and whispered: "Qiliu, I didn't want to say these words." But...... If I don't tell you, I feel uneasy. ”

Li Junran couldn't help but hug the soft pillow in her arms, although it was still the sluggish little face that lacked creativity, but her heart had already made waves.

"Qiliu, you also know that I am the son of the family, and I was born as a maid of Chengfu. Now she is the personal maid next to the eldest lady, and in the future, after the eldest lady's ceremony, she will be the dowry maid who will marry into her husband's house with the eldest lady. Maybe like the second aunt, she will become the aunt of the future aunt. If you are lucky, you will marry a steward, and you will only become a steward. is still the slave who serves people inferiorly. But Qiliu, you are different from me, you still have your father and brother, waiting for you outside. Sometimes I really envy you, although my brain is burned out, but there is still a day when I can regain my free body. Ten years, as long as you persist for ten years! ”

Li Junran sat there quietly and looked at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi smiled bitterly, stretched out her hand and gently pinched Li Junran's slightly chubby cheek.

"It's a pity, now...... I'm afraid that this wish of yours will be difficult to come true. ”

"......" For a while, Li Junran didn't know what kind of expression she had to face Bai Zhi, because she had eavesdropped on the conversation between Cheng Yuyan and Cheng Zhang, so she knew what Cheng Yuyan, the eldest lady of Cheng Mansion, was thinking. But these true thoughts in her heart Miss Cheng Mansion obviously can't tell Bai Zhi, so how did Bai Zhi know?

Bai Zhi saw that Li Junran didn't seem to believe what she said, and she didn't care too much, so she nodded Li Junran's forehead with a smile and helped her solve her confusion: "It's just that you heard something you shouldn't have heard." Although I have been with the eldest lady since I was four years old, I know better than you know what kind of person Madame is. Since the eldest lady came to this Yue Town for a serious illness, her temperament has changed a lot, but whether it has changed or not, one thing is certain, that is, to protect the short. Now you know the secrets you shouldn't know......"

Hearing this, Li Junran had to vote for Bai Zhi thirty-two likes in her heart, if anyone told her that the ancients were so foolish, she would follow that person's surname.

"So whether it's Mrs. or Miss, even if the ten-year period expires in the future, it will be impossible to let you out of the house."

"Sister Bai Zhi...... So, what do I do? ”

"I don't know." Bai Zhi spread her hands, indicating that she could not do anything. These days, I have been watching from the sidelines, although I don't really understand why this stupid girl in front of me has fallen into the eyes of my eldest lady, which makes my eldest lady take care of it a lot. Because of this care, the stupid girl named Qiliu in front of her survived. Now it is also because of this care that it is not easy for this silly girl to get out of slavery. It is easy to sell oneself into slavery, but it is difficult to get rid of slavery and restore freedom. In addition to having the money to redeem one's body, the key is to have the grace of the owner who holds the deed of sale and is willing to let go. Otherwise...... No matter how much trouble you make, it's useless.

"Fortunately, it's not without a turnaround." Bai Zhi saw Li Junran's face depressed. Then he was relieved, "Go back, you find an opportunity to beg Master." Let his old man mediate a thing or two. ”

"Master?" It's not that Li Junran looks down on Dr. Xu, in Li Junran's sensory impression, Dr. Xu is just a bad old man with good medical skills. Although Chinese medicine is broad and profound, it is impossible for people to eat whole grains without getting sick. But how much role can a doctor play in this Heavenly Apocalypse Dynasty where imperial power is supreme?

Bai Zhi Xu saw that Li Junran didn't take Dr. Xu too seriously, and poked Li Junran's forehead angrily: "Dr. Xu is the holy hand of Xinglin!" You should follow Dr. Xu to learn medical skills, go back and find a suitable opportunity, and then find a way to get back the deed of sale you signed at the beginning. ”

Li Junran nodded again and again. Secretly make up your mind to decide. When you go back, you must steal the deed of sale of Qiliu!

"Alright, it's not too early. Go to bed and rest. Ming'er has to get up early and go to the academy with the eldest lady. Bai Zhi saw that Li Junran seemed to listen to her words, so she turned her head and glanced at the hourglass placed on the desk, and found that it was time in a blink of an eye. Why did he urge Li Junran to go to bed quickly.

Li Junran didn't ink anymore. After taking off the outer garment. The thorn slipped into the bed.

After Bai Zhi got up and blew out the candles, she climbed onto the wooden bed by the moonlight outside the window.

The room suddenly went dark. In the dark, Li Junran couldn't help but ask Bai Zhi: "Sister Bai Zhi." Do you want to get out of citizenship? ”

The house was quiet, and faintly from outside the courtyard came the sound of a man beating a watchman. After a long time, Bai Zhi said quietly: "Sleep." ”

Although Bai Zhi did not answer Li Junran's question, Li Junran could still understand Bai Zhi's mood. Who would want to sell themselves into slavery if they could? There is no freedom to serve the master or second, and the most important net worth and life are in the hands of the master's family, and the master's family is allowed to beat and scold and sell. Especially a child born in a family like Bai Zhi, who has been a slave since birth......

At this moment, Li Junran, who was still full of confidence in his future slavery, was confused.

The next day, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, is the day of the Double Ninth Festival, and it is also the day when Bailu Academy officially opens. Early in the morning, Li Junran carried a small bookcase containing pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books, followed behind Cheng Yuyan, and after greeting Cheng Zhang's family, he got into a carriage and came to Bailu Academy.

Xu was pretending to be worried, Li Junran, who could sleep until dawn next to the pillow, had a rare insomnia, tossed and turned for most of the night, and fell asleep in a daze when it was close to dawn. It's a pity that it didn't take long for him to squint, and he woke up Bai Zhi. After getting into the carriage, it was the most sleepy time.

Cheng Yuyan raised her eyes and glanced at Li Junran, who was not energetic, and faintly felt that something was not right with the stupid girl who had been dangling in front of her eyes for the past two days, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"This girl, didn't she be a thief last night?" Cheng Yuyan looked at Li Junran and nodded her head for a while, and joked.

"Xu is so happy to see my brother. I was excited all night last night, and it seemed like I didn't fall asleep until dawn. Bai Zhi covered for Li Junran.

"Didn't you sleep well all night?" Cheng Yuyan did not doubt this.

"It's okay for the slave to sleep for a few hours, if the young lady can't bear it, she will reward the slave and the maid with a grace, so that the slave and the maid can be lazy today." Bai Zhi said with a grin.

"Okay, you Bai Zhi, now you are more and more pampered and arrogant." If Cheng Yuyan has an obvious purpose for Li Junran, then she has more trust in Bai Zhi, a loyal servant in the previous life.

"It's a pity that you're too lazy today. By the way, have you completed the homework assigned by Master a few days ago? ”

Bai Zhi also knew that she had to be busy all day today, and it was estimated that she would not be able to squeeze out any time to be lazy, and Bai Zhi naturally did not dare to hide Cheng Yuyan's problem.

"It's all done."

After Bai Zhi keenly caught a hint of surprise on Cheng Yuyan's face, she immediately defended herself and explained: "Doctor Xu can take slaves and maids as apprentices, which is also a mistake. It's uncountable. Moreover, the talents of slaves and maids are limited, so Dr. Xu only taught slaves and maids to recognize some common Chinese herbs, and also taught some medicinal recipes to nourish and regulate the body. Even so, it also benefited the slave and maid a lot. ”

Bai Zhi said this, and naturally said that Cheng Yuyan's heart was in trouble. That day, I also wanted to lose the face of that weird-tempered bad old man, but after calming down, it was really a bit of a pity to say that I regretted it. It's a pity that the wood is already in the boat.

"Bai Zhi, in fact, you don't have to be so restrained. It's always good for you to be able to follow that bad old man and learn a little more. ”

"No, miss." Bai Zhi waved her hand again and again, "The slave has limited talent. Now just by remembering the names of those Chinese herbs, the slave maid remembers that the head is big. Miss, why don't you let this girl Qiliu learn a little more? ”

"Little Seven?" Cheng Yuyan raised her eyes and looked at Li Junran, who was still dozing, and smiled. It's not that Cheng Yuyan looks down on people, just at Li Junran's stupid appearance, I'm afraid that I won't put my eggs in her basket as a stupid girl in normal thinking.

Although Li Junran was indeed dozing off at this time, he was sleeping in a daze. But the consciousness was very clear, and Cheng Yuyan and Bai Zhi naturally heard all the words. In this regard, Li Junran doesn't know whether to be glad that the image she created before is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, or is she glad that Miss Cheng Fu is too confident and doesn't take her seriously? In any case, underestimating the enemy is a good thing for her. (To be continued......).
