Volume 1 Above the Temple Chapter 118 The life of the anointed children is too difficult
In the past few days, Mu Qiuhuang has stayed in the Hou Mansion and never went out, except for the daily practice that has not been left behind, the rest of the time is spent eating, drinking and having fun.
After going out for more than a year, although it is not as good as sleeping in the open air, how can the outside days compare to the comfort of being at home? What's more, he plans to travel in the rivers and lakes in a while, and he doesn't know when he will come back again, so Mu Qiuhuang decided to do everything he can to enjoy it, he wants to experience the life of the anointed children.
I heard that their days are all like this, they can sit and never stand, they can lie down and never sit, and they can move their mouths but never use their hands...... It sounds wonderful.
When Mu Qiuhuang wanted to talk about this idea to everyone in the Wutong Garden, the servants and maids in the Wutong Garden not only did not feel the slightest displeasure, but they all showed joy on their faces, as if they felt that the son should have been so ordinary.
This is not to say that they are born with the feeling that they should be inferior as servants and have a penchant for masochism, but the result of Mu Qiuhuang's "heart to heart" for so many years. The servants and maids in Wutong Garden are all old people in the house, and their group of people either watched Mu Qiuhuang grow up, or grew up with Mu Qiuhuang, and they didn't convince that serving the master was their job, just because they had never met such a good-tempered master for so many years, it was enough for them to treat each other with sincerity.
The cook in Wutong Garden has a clear understanding of Mu Qiuhuang's taste, so he also makes Mu Qiuhuang's favorite dishes for each meal in a different way, and never brings the same thing, so that after each meal, Mu Qiuhuang has to drink some hawthorn water to help digestion; When Mu Qiuhuang sits under the peach blossom forest fishing, his head is tilted to the left, and there is Chun Tao hand-pinched pastry into his mouth, and his head is to the right side, Xia He will send the tea to his mouth, and even when he wants to read quietly at night, Chun Tao and Xia He will be tired of adding fragrance to the red sleeves beside him.
If it's just these things, there are even people who don't know where to hear that other people's anointed children even have someone to serve them when they go to the toilet to handle the cleaning matters after Gong Gong...... When there was a little maid holding a toilet chip and guarding the outside of the thatched house with a shy, waiting for His Royal Highness the prince to pay respects...... Mu Qiuhuang finally couldn't stand it anymore, and ended this life experience of the anointed child in advance.
Mu Qiuhuang grew up in the military camp since he was a child, and under Mu Qingen's deliberate instructions, except for the fact that his education was different from that of ordinary soldiers, everything else was no different from ordinary people, and he was not special at all. You have to make your own bed, fold your own quilts, wash your clothes, and eat three meals a day in the canteen...... Mu Qiuhuang has been accustomed to this self-reliant lifestyle since he was a child.
You let him eat and stretch out his hand, and let others serve him to make beds, fold quilts, serve tea and water...... Similar to this ordinary enjoyment, he can still accept it, and enjoy it. But there is a degree to everything, and the toilet has to be cleaned by someone, which touches his downline and makes him unacceptable...... So much so that in the past few days, Mu Qiuhuang had the illusion that he couldn't take care of himself because he was too happy to live.
……
Looking at Mu Qiuhuang, who was sitting there with a depressed face after coming out of the thatched house, Chun Tao couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said with bad intentions: "Childe, didn't you say that you want to experience the life of the children of Anointing?" How did you stop halfway through the experience? ”
Mu Qiuhuang shrugged his eyelids, glanced at Chun Tao, didn't bother to talk to her, and saw Xia He covering his mouth and snickering, so he glanced at Xia He as well.
Seeing this, Xia He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Childe, this is how rare and strange you are, Xiaocui is ready to serve you in the toilet, and she really doesn't mean to play tricks on you." ”
Mu Qiuhuang nodded and said, "I know this, she shouldn't dare to play tricks on me, but ...... That's probably too much! The children are also human beings, and they also have hands and feet, so they don't even have to follow behind to help clean the toilet, right? ”
Xia He sighed and continued, "What is this? That is, the slaves and maids are lucky to meet such a good master as you, in other people's houses, the life of a subordinate like a slave and maid is really not as good as a pig and a dog, not to mention that the masters beat and scolded at will, even if they were killed by mistake, they were just dragged out of the mass grave and thrown away...... It's really as cheap as an ant, as for the life of the anointing children you experienced, it can be regarded as a cut version, and the slave maid also heard that some of the anointing children like to bathe in human milk, do you think about it, how many women do you need to serve him for a bath? ”
"Yes! Childe, what Sister Xia He said is all good, what is more excessive than this? Have you ever heard of eating virgin blood? ”
"Virgin blood...... Isn't that human blood? Mu Qiuhuang said in surprise, already frowning slightly.
"Yes! Oh, yes! They specially selected the young virgins to raise in the house, and every day they had to cut the wrists of those people and put a bowl of blood for him to drink, and in order to ensure the taste of the blood, they were not allowed to eat every day, only let them eat the fruits...... The slave and maid heard that those virgins would basically die after two or three times of blood! Alas...... Come to think of it, they're really pitiful. Chun Tao said with a sympathetic face.
"What?" When Mu Qiuhuang heard this, he was already furious, slapped the table next to him to pieces, and suddenly stood up, his face was full of murderous anger, and he scolded angrily: "Is this still what people do?" It's not even as good as a beast, for the sake of his own selfish desires, he actually takes human life seriously...... How could such a thing happen under the rule of my father? What did you two just say about the anointing children of that family? This son has to break his body into pieces today.
Mu Qiuhuang was suddenly angry, Chun Tao and Xia He were also frightened, and when they heard Mu Qiuhuang's question, they knew that this son had misunderstood what he meant.
"Childe is angry, this is not our Beiyu's anointed son."
Xia He hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Under the rule of Hou Ye, naturally no one dares to do such a cruel and inhumane thing. ”
Hearing that this didn't happen on his own territory, Mu Qiuhuang's anger gradually subsided, and he sat down slowly, a little puzzled: "Then where did this happen?" Where did you both hear that? ”
Chun Tao hurriedly explained: "A few months ago, a storyteller came to Yunzhou City, and Sister Xia He and I listened to him."
"Oh." Mu Qiuhuang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Surprise me, everything in the drama is made up nonsense, and it can't be taken seriously." ”
"But Childe, I heard the storyteller's description, it doesn't look like it was made up randomly?" Xia He said with a suspicious face: "By the way, what he said seems to have happened in the imperial capital." ”
"Imperial Capital?"
Mu Qiuhuang was suspicious in his heart: "I just came back from the imperial capital, and I have never heard of these things at all!" And how could such a thing happen under the rule of the Son of Heaven? This seems to be saying that the children of the anointed rice are pretending, but in fact, isn't it obviously saying that 'the Son of Heaven has no way'? …… Who is deliberately spreading rumors? ”
Mu Qiuhuang thought secretly in his heart, and asked, "Which storyteller are you talking about, and where is he now?" ”
"That storyteller left Yunzhou a month ago." Chun Tao explained.
"Oh."
Seeing that the storyteller has left, Mu Qiuhuang can't ask anything more? It can only be regarded as a gimmick specially made up by the storyteller in order to obtain money, right?
"Alas......"
Thinking of this, Mu Qiuhuang also sighed, threw the suspicion in his heart out of his mind, and said in his heart, what's wrong with him, why is it that he starts to be suspicious when he hears something casually now?
At this moment, the housekeeper Fu Bo sent someone to report, saying that Guan Yulou asked to see him.
"Guan Yulou?"
Mu Qiuhuang recited the name again, only to remember that this was the only son of the county guard of Muzhou, and a year ago he had commanded him to charter the Liujing River to invite the Northern Desert Border Army; Originally, he valued his ability to collect money and wanted to collect it for his own use, but he was delayed by Zhang Fuling's sudden appearance, so that after going to Wudang Mountain, he never had contact with this person...... At this time, seeing that he came to the door by himself, it also saved Mu Qiuhuang a lot of effort.
"You ask Guan Gongzi to wait for me in the living room, and I'll be there later."
After sending the little guy away, Mu Qiuhuang instructed Chun Tao and Xia He again: "Change my clothes for me." ”
Because he has stayed in the Wutong Garden for a few days and has never gone out, Mu Qiuhuang's dress is also relatively casual, and he is still only wearing a nightgown this time.
"Childe, who is this Guan Yulou? It deserves to be so formal to meet him. Chun Tao, who was combing Mu Qiuhuang's hair, couldn't help but ask.
Seeing that Mu Qiuhuang didn't speak back for a long time.
Xia He hurriedly reprimanded Chun Tao's exit: "Don't ask nonsense." ”
Xia He is a few years older than Chun Tao, and naturally he is well versed in the way of master and servant, although Mu Qiuhuang is extremely doted on them, but he has never been pampered and arrogant, and he has done his duty as a girl. And although Chun Tao has never been pampered and arrogant, because of her young age, she is a little unaccustomed to talking on weekdays...... And the sentence just now itself is a bit taboo, at this time, seeing that Mu Qiuhuang was silent, Xia He was naturally a little worried, so he opened his mouth to reprimand, but in fact, it was also a protection for Chun Tao.
Chun Tao was not a stupid person, but at this time, after being reminded by Xia Heyi, he suddenly reacted, and hurriedly whispered: "Childe, Chun Tao knows that he is wrong." ”
"Ahh What did you say? Mu Qiuhuang was stunned.
"Chun Tao shouldn't be curious about Guan Yulou's identity." Chun Tao explained in a low voice, a little apprehensive.
"Childe, you are young in Chun Tao, so spare her this time!" Seeing this, Xia He also pleaded for mercy.
"Alas......" Mu Qiuhuang sighed and said, "What should I be?" It turned out to be this, what can't be said about this? Guan Yulou is the son of the county guard of Muzhou, and he is a true anointed son. ”
"Childe is really not angry?" Xia He asked carelessly.
"What's there to be angry about? You've both been with me for so many years, don't you know who I am? Mu Qiuhuang said.
Chun Tao stared at Mu Qiuhuang's face and looked left and right, and saw that Mu Qiuhuang really didn't mean to be angry, so she complained: "Then why didn't you suddenly stop talking just now, Son?" It's really scared of Spring Peach. ”
"I was a little distracted just now, and I didn't hear your question." Mu Qiuhuang explained.
After confirming that it was a false alarm, Xia He also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good! Honestly, did you just imagine this son as the anointed child in the mouth of the storyteller? Mu Qiuhuang pretended to be angry.
"Didn't you?" Chun Tao quibbled, then suddenly grinned again, and continued: "However, Sister Xia He and I wish that Gongzi would become a disciple of Anointing, so that Gongzi can stay in the mansion every day, and let the two of us serve you."
"You Nizi, you are the best at using words to please people."
Mu Qiuhuang smiled, and pretended to sigh: "I still can't be a child of anointed sorghum, and it is still too difficult for me to live as a child of anointing sorghum who has to be served in the toilet." ”
