(Friendly reminder: Bai Ranfanwai)

In the blink of an eye, it's time to send New Year's respects. The two long queues of gifts outside the Yufu Gate can line up from the streets of Baochang to the end of the street, and sometimes they have to wait for a day before they can step on the steps of the Yu family's gate, but no one dares to complain, and they have to pay for their smiling faces, and they are dedicated to lifting things inside.

It is said that the prime minister has seven officials in front of the door, and Zhou Hu has only tasted the taste of this sentence until today. At this time last year, he took people to carry things to people's houses to look for his face, and this year it was replaced by a group of people scrambling to see his face. Who said that there is no day to turn over when you are a slave, it depends on what kind of master you follow.

When the sun sets, the gate of Yufu is closed, regardless of the human head that cannot be seen outside, as soon as the time passes, they are all rejected from the door, this is the rule set by Yu Shu, and no one in the mansion dares to disobey the yang and the yin.

Zhou Hu carried a stack of scattered silver tickets in his sleeve, about three or five hundred taels, which was almost worth his ten years of monthly money, all of which were secretly stuffed to him by the gift-giver. For the first two days, he was so frightened by this battle that he didn't dare to reach out to take it, and then somehow it was known to the adults of their family, and the Xin'er girl from Beidaxiang came to pass the word, and said so-

"The master said, take what you give it, go back to the account room to report an account, pay half of it, and you keep half of it."

Zhou Hu is still walking lightly, he came out of his mother's womb, he didn't have so much money in hand, and in ten days, he can find a place to settle a spacious house in Anling City.

He walked on the way to the account office, thinking that he would give a point to a group of brothers in the nursing home later, not to mention more. A few taels of silver per person is always available for drinking. You must know that the guards in the house, in addition to eating and wearing, two clothes in a season, can get an extra three taels of silver per month, not to mention the rewards of the masters from time to time.

Zhou Hu arrived at the account room and saw Bai Ran sitting in the room dialing the abacus to reconcile the accounts. Then he stepped forward and said warmly: "Little Brother Bai." Why are you alone today, Uncle Six? ”

Originally, Uncle Qian was in charge of the accounts, but a few months ago, Yu Shu also transferred Bai Ran over, saying that he was asked to follow him to learn to settle accounts. But Zhou Hu didn't understand anything. Don't look at Bai Ran, who looks white and clean, like a little girl. But people are literate and sensible. They are training this kid in the family, and it's a pity that he should be a companion, so they have the intention to promote him. Therefore, Zhou Hu didn't rely on himself to be the head of the front yard. Just in front of Bai Ran, he was still as kind as before.

Bai Ran put down the account book, got up and said to Zhou Hu: "Sixth Uncle has a stomachache, go back and rest first, Brother Zhou is here to put on the account, I'll write it down for you." So saying, he turned to the cupboard, took a red-skinned ledger, and sat back down at the table.

Zhou Hu took out the silver tickets and silver ingots that he had privately collected today, Bai Ran checked them twice, and then he dipped the pen in the ink, wrote down this stroke neatly, and then asked Zhou Hu to write his name on the back and press his fingerprint. The people in the house have to learn to write their names if they are the most poor, and they have to sign the monthly money every month before they can take it away.

Zhou Hu got almost two hundred taels of silver, smiled from ear to ear, and immediately took a small ingot and put it on the table, and said generously: "Take it and buy some delicious food." ”

Bai Ran hurriedly refused: "I can't help it, you just gave me two silver bills the day before yesterday, and I have nowhere to spend it, where can I ask for you again." He knew that the money that Zhou Hu got was over the Ming Road, and others didn't come to it, not to mention that Zhou Hu was not stingy at all, every time he got money, it was mostly distributed to the group of people in the front yard.

"Take it, those who see it have a share, if you don't accept it, you don't take it in your eyes." Zhou Hu straightened his face, forced it to him, and didn't wait for him to push it back, so he ran away.

Bai Ran looked at the round silver ingots on his palm with a smile, and a pair of dark and translucent eyes gradually became confused.

He thought to himself, when did it start? It seems that this life has become different. Oh, yes, it should be from the day he met Yu Shu in the Confession Hospital, his life has changed in a different way.

He remembered clearly that in his previous life, after his grandfather was defeated and the Bai family raided the house, he was sent to the people's house, because he was beautiful and literate, he was not in a hurry to sell it when he was favored by the discipline, but cultivated him with his heart, so that he could be sent to a high-ranking family to be a fine worker. Who would have thought that the Offering Home is actually a place dedicated to cultivating and placing eyeliner.

He was carefully recuperated for two years, and then sent to Xue Xiangfu. At the beginning, he was just a small guy drying books in the courtyard of the eldest son, and he hadn't even seen the face of the master a few times, and by chance, he showed his face in front of the eldest prince, and he was appreciated, so that he could be a follower, and since then he has had the opportunity to get close to the master, and secretly pass some irrelevant news to the courtyard.

Later, Emperor Zhaoqing was seriously ill, and Liu Hao, the king of Ning, got the post of prisoner, but after a few days of complacency, he was exposed to a scandal and staggered into prison. To everyone's surprise, before the old emperor died, he actually passed the throne to the king of Xiang, who was a fellow of his mother, which attracted many opposition, among which Si Tianjian was the worst, but in the end, it was the king of Xiang who sat on the throne and was called Emperor Zhaoyang.

After Emperor Zhaoyang ascended the throne, he began to suppress Si Tianjian, demoted the big mention point to three grades, and lowered all the officials who changed officials, and then raided the twelve families in the capital, and banned the heirs left by the emperor one by one. Then, King Dong Jing rebelled and seized the northeast against the imperial court. The imperial court sent troops to suppress it unsuccessfully, and some people in the capital accused the eldest prince of the Xue family of colluding with the king of Dongjing, as evidenced by letters, Xue Xiang fell ill in anger, and the Xue family fell into a slump from then on, and it didn't take long for Emperor Zhaoyang to exile 17 men from the Xue family's side branch on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and plotting rebellion, and the female dependents were sent to the army to serve as prostitutes.

As a slave, Bai Ran escaped by luck and returned to the confessional courtyard again. At that time, he didn't know that during the exile of the Xue family, Xue Laoxiang first died of illness, and then Xue Rui disappeared mysteriously.

Later, after another seven years, the world was in turmoil, the king of Beijing and the Mongols allied, all the way forward, attacked Anling City, drove Emperor Zhaoyang from the throne, and supported the widow of Xue Guifei in the first queen's palace - Liu Ling, the nineteenth prince, as the young emperor.

After Xue Taishi became a very popular minister, he first wronged Zhaoxue for the Xue family, washed away his name, and then asked Ling Chi to seek the usurpation of Emperor Zhaoyang on eighty-one charges. His methods were so ruthless that even the Confession House could not escape the catastrophe, more than 200 fine workers were beheaded, and the rest of the criminal slaves had their tongues cut off and exiled to the bitter land.

And Bai Ran, who had done eyeliner in the Xue family, experienced the hell of the nose and embarked on the road to death with full fear, and the last picture left in his mind was Taishi Xue who was sitting on the sedan chair and watching the execution with cold eyes, and his black eyes.

"Hiss," Bai Ran fell into a memory, and couldn't help but shudder, the ingots in his hand were wet with sweat, he knocked on the door of his head with it, woke himself up with pain, and said silently over and over again:

"God, if you let me live a lifetime again, I will definitely spare my life."

From the moment he came back from the dead and returned to the Bai family to be raided, he kept reminding himself like this. Therefore, although he entered the confessional house, he would rather be beaten and starved than learn the fine work, because he did not want to go to that Rakshasa demon man again in his life. Although there are many differences between this life and the previous life, such as the defeat of King Xiang, the inheritance of the throne by Liu Tan, the ninth prince, and the fate of the Xue family is not so tragic, but this difference, what makes him most confused is his current master-

In his previous life, he had never heard of Yu Shu at all.

"Brother Aran, Brother Aran?"

A small hand swayed in front of him, and Bai Ran suddenly came back to his senses, and saw Abe Aoiko come in at some point, with a pair of big round eyes, looking at him worriedly.

"What are you doing in a daze, it's getting dark."

Bai Ran slowly smiled, and his face regained his brightness, "I seem to have miscalculated an account, and I'm afraid that the sixth uncle will come and be scolded tomorrow." ”

Abe Aoiko said nervously: "Will Uncle Sixth scold you, do you want me to intercede with the master?" ”

Bai Ran shook her head, couldn't help but touch her head, took the basket in her hand, and said, "No need, the sixth uncle scolded me for being good to me." What did you bring me today? ”

Abe Aoiko didn't understand why he said that scolding was good, but she always felt that what he said made sense, so she silently wrote it down, thinking: When she goes back, she will beg the master to scold her more, hehe. (To be continued......)
