As soon as it was dawn, Gu Yunxi got up.

When she opened her eyes, she lay flat on the bed, her eyes rolled from side to side for a long time, and she pinched her thigh several times with her fingers.

It hurts so badly -

After getting dressed and getting out of bed, she opened the window again and looked out into the courtyard several times.

The scenery outside is completely different from that of the Yuzuki Gongyuan. In the distance, there were loud shouts, which was the sound of the morning training of the Jinyi Guard in the school training factory.

Affected by the sound of the trumpet, Gu Yunxi's mood also cheered up, she finally believed that she was not dreaming at the moment, this was Dongchang, a brand-new environment, she had already left the Youzhu Tribute Courtyard, away from Gu's mother and those who bullied her.

Breakfast was delivered by a factory official named Sun Bing, and then he brought a bowl of boiled medicine, a set of purple fanwei clothes and a pair of boots.

Listen to him, this is the commandment of the Overseer, let her change her clothes. It is customary for the East Factory not to accept girls, but to change into men's clothes, so that it will be more convenient to follow the Overseer in the future.

Gu Yunxi naturally understood the truth of following the customs of the locals. After the factory servant left, she drank the medicine and closed the door tightly, hiding in the house to change clothes.

She lived in the south courtyard of the East Factory with the Overseer Leng Qingtang. Naturally, the Overseer had his plans.

He used to be the only one living in this courtyard. Now that Gu Yunxi has entered the East Factory, she is a girl, and it is absolutely impossible for her to go to the North Courtyard and the West Courtyard to live in Datong Shop with other guards and guards. Let her live in his courtyard, the clean environment is conducive to her recuperation, and it is convenient for him to take care of her at any time.

The clothes were changed, and it was not difficult, but the combing of the hair did not seem to be smooth.

In the past, it was not difficult to pull a partial bun by yourself and insert a hairpin at will. Combing the man's official bun now, Gu Yunxi didn't feel very comfortable. Holding a comb in one hand and lifting it to the top of the head in the middle of the head, the smooth hair is always not obedient, and it leaks out halfway, and I have to take the comb again to close it.

After repeating it a few times, Gu Yunxi's arm was tired and sore. He let go of his hand sullenly, and his thick black hair fell out. Gu Yunxi threw away the comb, and wanted to pick up the scissors and cut off the troublesome silk in his heart.

There was a knock on the door outside, and it was the Overseer coming. Gu Yunxi suddenly became in a hurry, looked in the mirror with a panicked expression, and hurriedly ran to open the door.

"Overseer......" she blushed.

Leng Qingtang looked at Gu Yunxi, who was disheveled and full of grievances, and felt funny, and softly comforted: "Don't worry, take your time."

Led her to sit down in front of the bronze mirror on the table under the window, he rolled up the wide sleeves of his python robe twice.

She saw that he seemed to be going to help her comb her hair with his own hands, and immediately jumped up in flattery: "Overseer, this can't be done!"

"Sit down...... Don't move. ”

A pair of large, strong hands pressed her shoulders against her shoulders, pushed her back into her chair, and then adjusted her head.

"The conditions here in the East Factory are a bit difficult, there are only factory servants, no little maids with you, and you have to rely on yourself for many things. It doesn't matter, do it slowly, learn slowly, and you will always become proficient. ”

Leng Qingtang said softly, while holding a comb to comb through the strands of messy hair, twisting it repeatedly on the top of Gu Yunxi's head a few times, and then tying it with a hairband, and soon, he tied out a fanwei's official bun.

Picking up the black flat hat in the tray and putting it on her head, he chuckled at the little face in the bronze mirror: "Okay, it looks good."

Gu Yunxi also laughed happily. Suddenly, she saw half of the handsome man's face in the bronze mirror, and an inexplicable feeling surged in her heart, inextricably linked, very warm, peaceful and peaceful.

The moment he came back to his senses, Leng Qingtang had already walked to the door, turned his head and said to her, "I'll go over first, you have breakfast, and I'll send someone to pick you up later."

When she was young, Xiao Xiaoshen, the overseer's close attendant, walked in to see her.

"Yo, my sister is dressed up?"

Seeing Gu Yunxi, who was wearing the official uniform of the Dongchang Fan Guard and wearing a black flat hat, Xiao Xiaoshen was surprised.

"Brother Xiaoshen, how do you see me dressed?"

Gu Yunxi stretched out his arms and spun around the room twice at will.

"Beautiful, of course good! What a handsome ...... Little Guard! ”

Xiao Xiaoshen came closer, his eyes were fixed on her chest, and he smiled evilly:

"I said Sister Yunxi, fortunately you are small! Otherwise, even if you wear this dress, you will know at a glance that you are a daughter! ”

"Why?" She asked, tilting her head in surprise.

"Hey...... Hey...... I mean, here you are! It's not too big......"

Xiao Xiaoshen's hand pointed at Gu Yunxi's chest.

"Ahh You...... I'll beat you up as a disciple! ”

Gu Yunxi suddenly blushed, reached out and grabbed one of Xiao Xiaoshen's ears, and hit him desperately with the other hand.

The two of them originally had a friendship in the Gongyuan, and they often played together, but they never really made trouble.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I came here to take you to the Dongchang Hall on the orders of the Overseer. Now that you're ready, follow me. ”

"Oh...... That, Brother Shen, I'm ...... I'm a little nervous! ”

Gu Yunxi looked at Xiao Xiaoshen pitifully, clasped his arms in front of his chest, and didn't dare to take a big step.

"It's okay, what are you afraid of, there is a master for everything!"

Xiao Xiaoshen pulled Gu Yunxi and went straight to the hall of the East Factory.

East Factory, Main Hall——

Overseer Leng Qingtang sat at the head of the admiral in the hall in a blue four-legged python brocade robe, and beside him was Cheng Wanli, the head of Xing Qianhu. On the east and west sides of the hall, there stood eight brown-shirted and round-hatted guards.

Today is the most common gathering of the ten teams in the east. As soon as Gu Yunxi walked in, he was shocked by the formation in front of him.

Leng Qingtang looked at Gu Yunxi's full outfit, smiled gently, and beckoned to her:

"Yunxi, come here, come to Bendu."

Gu Yunxi walked to Leng Qingtang's side, emulated Xiao Xiaoshen's appearance before, and respectfully bowed to Leng Qingtang: "Overseer!"

Leng Qingtang nodded with satisfaction, helped her up, looked at the guards on both sides, and said loudly:

"Everyone, this is Gu Yunxi, the little apprentice of the Governor, who mentioned to everyone last night. Yunxi, come, I've seen you all in the way.

No matter what age you are, you are all your own people who have lived and died with this governor, and they are all your predecessors in terms of qualifications. ”

"Yunxi meets all the seniors of the East Factory!"

The Overseer was by his side, Gu Yunxi's feeling of restraint at the moment was much less, and he took a step forward and saluted everyone with his fists.

A slightly shorter, chubby man "haha" laughed out of the team, and the facial features on his white and fat face were charitable. He returned the salute to Gu Yunxi:

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the apprentice of the overseer gives us a gift, and my subordinates really don't dare to be."

He looked at Gu Yunxi carefully from head to toe again, and he patted the back of his head with thinning hair with his fat palm:

"Good boy! The Overseer is so blessed to have accepted such a beautiful baby. I'll introduce myself first, the third team blocks the head, Zao Wou-ki! ”

"Hello senior Zhao."

Each other clasped their fists and saluted.

Leng Qingtang sat on the admiral's chair with a smile:

"Yunxi, I'll introduce you to other stoppers. Cheng Qianhu, you have seen it a long time ago, this one next to him is the first team to block the head, Ai Qing, the second team to block Lu Rong, the fourth team to block Bai Qiying, the fifth team to block Luo Zixun, the seventh team to block Jiang Xiong, and the ninth team to block Lin Duan and ......"

As soon as Leng Qingtang's hand was towards a young man with clear eyebrows, he opened his mouth to introduce himself:

"I'm Yuan Qian...... of the Shiban team" The ruddy lips then pursed towards Yunxi and smiled slightly, looking a little shy.

Leng Qingtang smiled: "Yuan Baotou is only sixteen years old, and he is the youngest among the captains of the team. The leaders of the Sixth and Eighth teams are out on official business, and they can't rush back in time, so I'll introduce them to you another day. ”

Gu Yunxi looked at these old and young people with different faces one by one, and saluted again:

"Yunxi has bowed to all the seniors. Just a moment, your name ...... I haven't memorized it all......"

The crowd laughed heartily.

Seeing her embarrassed blush, Leng Qingtang comforted her:

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone will meet each other often in the future, and let's get acquainted with it slowly."

Shiban team blocked the head Yuan Qian tilted his head to look at the clouds, and asked curiously:

"Yunxi is your real name? At first glance, it sounds like a little girl. ”

Gu Yunxi looked at Leng Qingtang embarrassedly, but he smiled calmly:

"You are all brothers who have been with the governor for many years, and the governor does not hide it from everyone, Yunxi...... Indeed, it is the body of a daughter! ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately became agitated.

"What? What a woman? ”

"I said it looks so smart!"

"The Overseer has recognized a female apprentice?"

"This is the first time in the East Factory!"

Cheng Wanli coughed hard, and the eight heads immediately quieted down.

Leng Qingtang got up from the admiral's chair and walked to the center of the hall.

"Yunxi is an orphan, who was found by Bendu from the pile of refugees from the famine, and has been placed at the end of the Gongyuan. Now that the girl is older, Ben wants to take her with him and teach her some skills in settling down. People, you can't always be wasted. The governor is not convinced, since the woman of my dynasty can enter the Jinyi Guard, can't she enter the East Factory?! ”

"It's up to the Overseer." The eight stoppers said in unison.

"There is only one thing, just a few of us know about this, there is no need to spread it outside."

Leng Qingtang said in a casual voice, looking around at the audience with a calm expression.

"Your subordinates will obey the orders of the Overseer."

"Come here."

Gu Yunxi stepped forward according to the order.

Leng Qingtang said to her:

"From today onwards, you are a member of the East Factory, although you are the apprentice of the Governor, you must also abide by the rules here. If you commit a crime, the governor will punish you according to the rules of the factory! ”

"Yes, Yunxi understands."

Seeing Leng Qingtang's solemn expression, Gu Yunxi was a little afraid.

A fan guard ran into the hall quickly, knelt down and reported:

"Lord Qiyu, the Ming Gonggong of Yongning Palace asks to see!"

"He's coming......?"

Leng Qingtang muttered to himself softly, his expression changing slightly.

"Lord Leng Overseer! Is Lord Leng here today? ”

Before anyone arrived, a feminine and gentle voice came into the hall first. Then, a dark red figure walked up the hall.

The person who came was a few years younger than Leng Qingtang, with a slender body covered with a dark red python robe, dark cloud sleeves, and a standing pattern in the middle of his chest. His gestures are like a puddle of water, with a charming and enchanting energy. The facial features can be described as "exquisite".

The eyebrows are slender, the bridge of the nose is high, the jaw is slender, and the two bright obsidian eyes are bright and bright, and there is a look of contempt for all things. A thin curvy pink lip naturally lifts slightly, oozing a bit of meanness and arrogance.

The person who came stopped near Leng Qingtang, shook the dust in his hand, and bowed:

"The servant has asked Lord Leng to say goodbye."

Minglan, who is just twenty years old this year, entered the palace at the age of seven. was the first to listen to the messenger in the inner chamberlain, and was later transferred to Yongning Palace with the favor of the imperial concubine Wan Yuyao, and was promoted to her chief eunuch in the last two years.

Leng Qingtang was still sitting on the admiral's chair, and Jun had a faint smile on his face:

"Father-in-law Ming, don't come unharmed, what kind of wind blew you to the governor's east factory?"

Looking left and right again, he waved to the leaders of the team and said, "Everyone disperse."

"The subordinates retired."

After the eight major blockers gave their hands, they walked out of the hall one after another, and only Cheng Wanli and Gu Yunxi were left in the hall.

After everyone dispersed, Minglan said to Leng Qingtang with a smile:

"The day before yesterday, the imperial concubine Niangniang passed the overseer to Yongning Palace to speak, and it was rumored several times that you were not in Dongchang. I want to come to Dongchang for official business too busy, so Niangniang sent a slave to come over to take a look......"

In those days, Leng Qingtang was taking care of the sick Gu Yunxi in the Youzhu Tribute Courtyard, so he was not in the East Factory. When I came back last night, I heard someone tell me about the people in Yongning Palace.

"There is Father-in-law." Leng Qingtang raised a cup of tea, gently rubbed the edge of the teacup with the lid of the cup, set aside a few jasper silver needles floating on the hot water inside, and replied with a tired expression:

"The Governor went out to inspect important cases, so it was delayed for a few days."

"The overseer serves the imperial court, it is really hard work...... Minglan said, his eyes rolled over, and his very slippery gaze suddenly caught Gu Yunxi beside Leng Qingtang.

"Yo, I saw a new face in the East Factory today!"
