21. Chapter 21

Lin Yuqing came up with such a method entirely because he heard the words of the person behind the tree last night. Gold and silver treasures, the queen mother is not lacking at all, what is lacking is a heart from the people.

Concubine Yu listened to this suggestion and felt that such a sachet full of heart might really make the Queen Mother look at her differently. She wanted to find a good painter to draw the two sides of the sachet.

Lin Yuqing said that he would go to Zhanghua Palace tomorrow and help make sachets together, so he didn't stop too much and went to Si Yisi with Chunni.

When the two of them walked to a courtyard, they saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs, running wildly, interspersed with more than a dozen sheep, jumping around, evading the pursuit of everyone.

On one side stood an aunt, directing the crowd to catch sheep. She overheard Lin Yuqing and the two people coming over, so she said loudly: "Are you two the palace maids of Si Yisi?" Hurry up, hurry up and help catch the sheep, the girls are still waiting for the goat's milk to use! ”

The two men looked at each other, put the food box in their hands aside, and then threw themselves into the ranks of catching sheep.

Lin Yuqing found that these sheep were all females, and they couldn't even see a single ram. Listening to the aunt's words just now, it seems that these sheep are suckling.

She saw that the group was busy making a mess, and the sheep were so docile, but they couldn't catch them. She suddenly had the idea of taking a sheep back to the cold palace. In this way, Lin Yu will have milk to drink. Only, what is she going to do so that she won't be discovered?

A little eunuch walked up to his aunt, gasped and said, "Auntie, these sheep are all frightened, doesn't it mean that the frightened sheep's milk tastes bad?" You can see if we let everyone rest for a while, and then we can go get some turnips and vegetables or something, and bring these sheep into the sheepfold. ”

The aunt nodded approvingly, if the sheep were frightened, the milk would not taste good. She looked around the people in the courtyard, and her eyes fell on Lin Yuqing and Chunni.

She raised her chin, pointed at Lin Yuqing and the two of them, and said, "Since you are a palace maid who is the secretary of the palace, come with me." ”

When Lin Yuqing heard this, he looked back at a haystack not far away. The haystack was clinging to the wall, and she hid a sheep there. Although the sheep has been crying all along, it is impossible to tell that it is the sheep that is barking, and of course, no one will know that there is a sheep hiding there. However, after a long time, it was inevitable that the sheep would not be discovered, and if she followed this aunt back to Si Yisi, there would be no reason for her to come back.

She thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Auntie, it's good to use carrots to lure sheep into the sheepfold, but this time is too wasteful of time, I think, the ladies must be waiting to use goat's milk, we can't delay!" ”

When my aunt heard this, she was also troubled, and said with a bitter face: "No matter what, you have to catch the sheep!" ”

Lin Yuqing walked to her aunt's side and said meekly: "I think, this carrot is still needed, you can send two people to get it, use a cart, push it in two big baskets, the sheep like to eat, and there will be more milk." And the people we stay behind can't be idle, so that the mother sheep must have their own sheep children, so we will find the sheep children, and these sheep mothers will lean over by themselves when they see their children, and then we will catch them again. ”

If my aunt thinks about it, it's the same thing. The sheep had to eat, so they ordered two little eunuchs to go to the priest to get the carrots. The rest of the people went to the backyard and invited the lambs out, each with a lamb in his hand. When some sheep mothers saw their children, they first took two tentative steps, and then slowly returned to their children. It was easy to get caught.

However, some sheep mothers are too frightened, looking at their children from a distance, but they don't dare to take a step forward, and if someone wants to get close to it, the sheep will be very alert to retreat. These sheep, who ignore the comfort of their children, can only wait to be lured with carrots.

However, there was a lamb that made Lin Yuqing sweat, and the lamb was led by a delicate palace maid, only to see the lamb walking towards a pile of grass, and inside the grass was Lin Yuqing's mother sheep.

She took two steps and said to the little lamb: "This sister, I see that you have just caught the sheep very hard, otherwise, let me help you lead this little lamb!" ”

Although the strength of the little lamb is not very great, but the palace maid has been being led by this little lamb, and she is already very impatient, and now that someone is willing to take this errand, she is happy and relaxed.

"Well, since you want it, then give it to you."

After speaking, she gave Lin Yuqing the rope that tied the sheep, and then walked to a sheep that had been reunited with mother and son, and followed the palace maid who led the sheep, and the mother and son were sent back to the sheepfold.

Lin Yuqing saw that each lamb corresponded to a sheep mother, if only the sheep mother was taken away, leaving the lamb alone would inevitably not arouse the suspicion of others.

Moreover, the little sheep kept barking, and the mother sheep in the haystack also called her child from time to time, and every time she screamed, Lin Yuqing felt her heart beat with it.

She picked up the lamb and covered its mouth to prevent it from barking.

In fact, Si Yisi was not very far from this courtyard, and the two little eunuchs quickly pushed two large baskets of carrots with a wheelbarrow.

As soon as the car stopped, everyone threw the carrots to the sheep to eat.

Lin Yuqing took advantage of everyone's inattention, so he put the little lamb and the mother sheep into the empty barrel together. The wooden barrel for the carrots is very large, although for the adult sheep, the narrow bottom will make it a little uncomfortable, but Lin Yuqing put several carrots in it, with these delicacies, the mother sheep and her lamb will naturally be honest.

After all the sheep were in the circle, Lin Yuqing and the two said goodbye to their aunt, and then pushed the empty car to Si Yisi.

After the two men had gone for a while, the aunt ordered the number of sheep to be counted, and finally found that two were missing. She asked people to look around again, but they still couldn't find it, so they had to give up. She reported to the higher-ups, only to say that two sheep had died of illness, and in order not to infect other sheep, they had been cremated and buried in the open space of the cold palace.

Lin Yuqing was pushing the car with Chunni, she thought that she had to have a good argument to make Chunni not suspicious.

She stopped and said to Chunni: "Chunni, you see that the two of us have been delivering food for so long, my aunt must think that the two of us have not gone back for so long, we must be lazy." I think it's okay, you go back with the food box first, report to your aunt, and then find two people to push the cart back. ”

Chunni looked at the sky, it was indeed delayed for too long, and after the incident of catching the sheep just now, she consumed too much physical strength, and she felt hungry.
