61. Chapter 61
Zhou Jingci heard Lin Yuqing say this, her body was stunned, and then she said with a casual smile: "After Jingci entered the palace, she has been staying in Mingguang Hall to do chores. When I came, my aunt said that I should do my duty. Jingci has always adhered to her duty and never dared to take tricks. My sister said that I hope Jingci can tell me a thing or two, but I don't know, what can my sister tell my sister? ”
Pretending to be stupid? Lin Yuqing had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and his heart was clear. Only people who have ideas will pretend to be stupid, and will try their best not to let the people around her perceive her true intentions. It's just that this Zhou Jingci is still a little younger, although she tries her best to be natural and casual, but those talking eyes betray her heart.
Lin Yuqing nodded, "Yes!" If we enter the palace to be slaves, of course we must do our part. My sister wrote down this sentence. Okay, don't delay you, I'll see if I can help others. ”
This Zhou Jingci treats others with a deep sense of vigilance, although on the surface, she looks harmless and smiling, but she will not have a friendship with anyone beyond others, that is, she treats everyone equally, and faces all people with one attitude, of course, she does not have good friends.
Lin Yuqing felt that Zhou Jingci like this was the helper she was looking for. Although he is in the crowd, he will always look like he is out of the way, and he will not have deep friendships with people, and he will not say things that should not be said. Able to deal with all people without feeling alienated, suitable for listening to news.
However, Lin Yuqing was also very worried, she was afraid that she would not be able to enter Zhou Jingci's heart, and she would also become Zhou Jingci's helper and friend.
Lin Yuqing followed the people in the courtyard for a while, but he began to have a little friendship. She found that there was a pair of twin palace maids in this Yuming Palace. My sister's name is Xia He, she has a gentle personality, and she always smiles before she speaks. My sister's name is Xia Lian, and her personality is lively and cheerful, pouting and cute, and she is very cute.
Because the two sisters look the same, if they don't smile or speak, they are easy to be mistaken. However, it is precisely because of this similar appearance that Chen Xiurong likes the two of them very much.
Every month, the two sisters have a good errand and can go out of the palace, in order to bring the special dishes of the Yufang Pavilion in the city into the palace and give them to the emperor to taste.
If you want to talk about the new head of this Yufang Pavilion, it is a famous figure in the capital. Let's not talk about how jade trees and elegant this person looks, just the endless food and feasts are mouth-watering.
The Yufang Pavilion is specific, and every eighteenth of the month, a new dish will be introduced, and on this day, those who come here are congested from the door of the Yufang Pavilion to the end of the street.
And today is July 18, the day of the promotion of new dishes in Yufang Restaurant. The two sisters simply cleaned up and planned to leave the palace.
Lin Yuqing didn't have anything to do today, so she thought of the sick Ah Lang, and she wanted to go and see him.
However, she really couldn't think of a way to get out of the palace alone. I was chatting with the two sisters just now, and then I realized that they were going to leave the palace. So, Lin Yuqing wanted to give it a try.
It was about nine o'clock in the morning, and the sun was already scorching the earth.
Lin Yuqing stood outside the door of the two sisters and knocked lightly. The door was originally hidden, and the people inside said please come in, and Lin Yuqinglian stepped in lightly.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Yuqing was embarrassed.
Xia He smiled without saying a word, continued to pack his things, and put the money into the package.
Xia Lian saw that it was Shen Xiu, so she walked over with a smile, took her hand, and sat at the table.
"Shen Xiu, do you have something to look for us? If you have, just hurry up, we'll have to go out of the palace in a while. ”
Xia Lian was very enthusiastic, thanks to the result of everyone's happy work together in the morning.
Lin Yuqing smiled, turned her head to look at Xia He, Xia He smiled at her, still packing up her things.
Lin Yuqing said half-dodging and half-evasive: "Actually, it's not a big deal. That is, two days ago, the family sent a letter saying that the mother was slightly ill and wanted to meet her daughter who had been in the palace for so long. However, as soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and it is not so easy to meet when you enter the palace. I was thinking that I would take two days off from my aunt and go home. However, there are many rules in the palace, even if Shen Xiu is allowed to go home to visit his mother, I am afraid that it will be half a month later, and when he ...... by then, he is afraid of ......"
Lin Yuqing sobbed as he spoke, and he really burst into tears.
In fact, what Lin Yuqing said is also the truth. But those who want to go home to visit relatives in the palace must bring it up early, and then the stewards in the ** will be released after discussion. Moreover, after returning to the palace from outside the palace, he had to stay alone in one place for a period of time, chanting sutras in the morning and evening, so as to avoid bad luck.
When Xia Lian heard this, she patted Lin Yuqing's shoulder sympathetically, and said with emotion: "My sister is really a filial daughter!" My sister I sympathize, but, where is my sister's house? If it's far away, it's better to talk to my aunt earlier. ”
Lin Yuqing shook his head, cried and said with a smile: "My home is not far away, just south of the capital, I heard the two sisters mention it today, and it is eighteen again, so I thought, can I trouble the two sisters, tell my aunt, let me go out of the palace together." My house is very close, so I promise that I won't delay the two of you. ”
Lin Yuqing was like a poor pug, staring at a pair of big watery eyes, wagging his tail and begging for mercy.
Actually, for Lin Yuqing, it is nothing to say soft words to those palace maids like her. However, if such a trick is used on people at the level of official universities, it will really be the rhythm of death.
When Xia Lian saw Lin Yuqing saying such pitiful, so sincere, and extremely sympathetic, she also made a difficulty.
At this time, Xia He, who couldn't finish cleaning up, finally finished cleaning up, she walked over with a smile, pressed Xia Lian's shoulders with both hands, and then faced Lin Yuqing and said, "Actually, if you want to go out of the palace with us, it's not difficult." It's just that there are many rules in the palace, and besides, my sister went to visit her sick mother. Although this matter can be concealed for a while, it may not be able to be concealed to the very end. ”
When Lin Yuqing heard this, there was a door. He restrained his pitiful appearance a little, blinked his eyes and asked, "Is there a way to hide it after the worst, and it is difficult for others to say anything?" ”
Xia He smiled, then sat down and said, "I heard that in the south of the capital, there is a temple that is hundreds of years old. If you can, it is best to ask for a talisman for the emperor, and then offer it in front of the Buddhist shrine, once in the morning and once in the evening. ”
When Lin Yuqing heard this, he almost didn't bite off his tongue. It's also too much trouble. Besides, they only have a short time to go out, where do they have time to get some talismans.
"But didn't we come back after noon? It's too late, right? Lin Yuqing said worriedly.
The two sisters looked at each other and smiled.
Xia Lian said: "The new dishes are only available at night. The reason we have to go so early is just to get in line. Although it is said that we are doing things for the emperor, the owner of the Yufang Pavilion is very strange, no matter who it is, no matter what identity it is, if you want to eat in his store, you have to queue up. ”
When Lin Yuqing heard this statement that was incompatible with this society, he was very puzzled.
