Chapter 13: Amazement
He opened his mouth and said, "The bet I agreed with him is not 'Luhe Moon Xianglian'. β
Zhou Huanchun and Nian Nian were both surprised, and asked in unison, "Then what is the bet you agreed upon?" β
Zhou Lingmo pretended to be mysterious and said softly: "You will know when the time comes!" β
Nian Nian asked Zhou Huanchun.
"Miss, do you know what it means to be close to Zhu Zhechi?"
Zhou Huanchun blamed Niannian.
"Little maid, do you know what it means to be black near ink?"
Thoughts and retorts to each other.
"Miss, the second young master is obviously learning from you!"
Zhou Huanchun was not to be outdone.
"Little maid, you have taught my second brother badly!"
"It's all your fault!"
"It's all your fault!"
Zhou Nian and the others "threw off" the "innocent" Zhou Lingmo and "broke up".
β¦β¦
Palm light time.
The sleeping man slowly woke up, and Nian Nian waited for the head of the bed, and as soon as he saw the man get up and wake up, he reflexively walked to the table and picked up the decoction on the wooden box.
Nian Nian muttered to herself, "Why have I been doing such things lately? Bad luck! Bad luck! If you have time, it's time to go and worship the patriarch! β
The young man in oil-faced cloth beside the bed asked in a young voice, "Huh?" Where is this? β
Nian Nian took the medicine in one hand, stroked the hanging hair at the sideburns with the other, and said sweetly: "This is 'Xi Luxuan', I am Nian Nian, the servant girl of 'Xi Luxuan'!" β
The oil-faced young man frowned slightly, looking at Niandi, his eyes full of doubts.
He scratched his head and said thoughtfully, "'Xi Luxuan'? I remember that I was obviously in 'Yu Li Xuan'! β
His eyes widened and he asked Nian Nian, "What's going on?" β
Nian Nian put the decoction on the chair in front of the bed, deliberately turned his back, did not look at the patient lying on the bed, and said angrily: "It's okay if you don't say it, I'll be angry when you say it!" β
Nian Nian turned around, squeezed a small handkerchief, raised his eyebrows coldly at the oil-faced young man, and said regretfully: "How many Huaichun girls are thinking about the young master Lingmo who can fall into the wind of Yushu, who knows that if you don't pay attention, you stinky boy will be cheap!" β
"You're so scheming!!"
The oily-faced young man was stunned for a while before he understood, he clutched the begonia butterfly pattern quilt on his body tightly with both hands, blushed, and hurriedly explained: "I am a serious cook!" Not to come out...... Come out ......"
Nian Nian thought this person was interesting, squinted his eyes and tilted his head and walked towards the oil-faced young man, asking as he walked, "Isn't it?" β
Her voice was languid and cunning, like that of a little fox.
The oily-faced boy was forced to retreat again and again, his whole person was like a boiled crab, and he denied: "It's not a person with that kind of fetish!" β
Nian Nian was bored, shook his sleeves, and pouted: "Why is it not serious if you have the good of Longyang?" Boring! Boring! β
"Niannian, stop bullying this son!"
Zhou Huanchun didn't know when she had laughed behind Niannian.
Nian Nian immediately reined in and echoed: "Okay! Good! Good! Let's get down to business! β
Nian Nian picked a chair next to the bed, sat down, and carefully examined the face of the oil-faced young man.
He tied his hair with a square scarf, his hair was miscellaneous, the color was slightly yellow, like corn whiskers, he cleaned up the dirt on his face, and found that his cream powder, clear eyebrows and big eyes, his cheeks were faintly red like smudged cinnabar on a sugar packet, and there was a fragrance of scallion oil that could not be washed away by rain, and the color and fragrance were complete, and he was like a dish!
Nian Nian suddenly felt very hungry......
She swallowed her saliva gracefully and asked the oily-faced boy, "I've already introduced myself?" According to etiquette, you should also tell us where you came from, right? β
The oil-faced young man said solemnly: "I am the chef of 'Yu Li Xuan', my name is Ji Xiaoheng. β
Nian Nian waved his hand impatiently and hurriedly said, "We all know this!" Andβyesβwhat? β
Facing Nian Nian's fiery gaze, Ji Xiaoheng replied in embarrassment: "I...... My name is Ji Xiaoheng, a villager from Pingyi Village in the outer city of Zhenhao, I entered the inner city with my uncle, and soon after entered the general's mansion, and was assigned to 'Yulixuan' by the bookkeeper. β
Nian Nian looked at his calf that was fixed by two wooden boards, and said softly: "Then what are your plans now, wait for the injury to heal and then return to 'Yu Li Xuan'?" This is tantamount to being hit on the left cheek and then sticking the right side of your face to someone else! β
Ji Xiaoheng's eyes were lowered, and his voice was clear and clear, like a soup of spring noodles.
"Although I have to face the temperamental Young Master Zhou Jinmu when doing things in the 'Yuli Xuan' Xuan, if I leave the General's Mansion, I will have no relatives in Zhenhao City, and I will have no long skills, so it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold."
"If I sell myself to Bai Qin's aristocratic family, then I am afraid that the humiliation and torture I will suffer will far exceed that of 'Yu Li Xuan'."
Nian Nian hurriedly debunked and said, "You just said that you have an uncle!" β
As soon as Ji Xiaoheng's uncle was mentioned, his face suddenly sank like pickled cabbage, and he said desolately: "After my uncle entered the inner city, he went to apply for the work of building the Taihe Palace next to the imperial mausoleum. β
"As a result, before it was a month, he was overwhelmed and died of exhaustion......"
"Huh?!" Nian Nian and Zhou Huanchun were both surprised by this.
Zhou Huanchun was the first to ask.
"Since the workload is so heavy, why is your uncle still willing to go to apply for the plan to build the Taihe Palace?"
"Because Emperor Hunting Yuan wanted to complete the project day and night before the Emperor's Day, the Lord Inspector promised to give the servants who built the Taihe Palace a monthly fee ten times higher than the average monthly fee level of the servants in Zhenhao City."
"But I didn't expect that my uncle died before the construction of Taihe Palace was completed......"
"After that, I sold myself to bury my uncle on Yunqi Street, and met Lord Xia Zhanshu, the military judge of the General's Mansion, who not only helped me but also recommended me to the account office of the General's Mansion, so I was able to come to the General's Mansion."
Nian Nian couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that 10,000-year-old cold-faced rooster on Yanwuping was filled with a pair of warm-hearted hearts!" β
Ji Xiaoheng was heartbroken, his eyes were moist and fluttering like a lotus in the rain, and his eyebrows were tangled like twist flowers on a plate.
Nian Nian and Zhou Huanchun were quite moved.
Zhou Huanchun said to Ji Xiaoheng with a smile: "I'm sorry. β
Nian Nian also said hesitantly: "I'm sorry, Ji Xiaoheng, I didn't mean to evoke your sad memories. β
Ji Xiaoheng twinked his eyebrows and smiled, like a peach blossom that was about to fall, and finally stayed on the powder cake, exuding fragrance.
He said softly, "I should thank you." β
"You saved me, and you care so much about my affairs, I ...... Today's words seem to ...... More than I said in the previous seven days combined. β
"Although there are many servants in the 'Yuli Xuan', everyone basically only does things and does not speak, and I am not good at words, so I have no chance to interject."
Ji Xiaoheng frowned bitterly and doubted: "Why do you all look at me like this? I...... Isn't it...... He speaks upside down...... So you don't understand? Maybe it's because I miss my uncle so much......"
Zhou Huanchun's face is like the moon, and her eyes are like a galaxy.
She looked at Ji Xiaoheng, but her eyes passed through Ji Xiaoheng's body and looked into the more unreachable void......
She muttered, "Will the dead be missed?" β
Will that person in a previous life miss me?
Although, the road in the previous life has ended, but love and hatred are two sides of the same coin, hatred is hard to break, how can love be broken?
Ji Xiaoheng nodded like pounding garlic.
"As long as the deceased person has a loved one, his relatives will not stop thinking about him!"
But what is the use of such thoughts other than torturing and comforting oneself?
It's just a futile joy and sorrow, a fruitless calculation.
Nian Nian found that Zhou Huanchun seemed to be a little wrong, and asked in a slightly puzzled tone: "Miss!" What happened to you? β
Zhou Huanchun came back to her senses at this time, she waved her hand and said, "It's nothing." β
She seemed to remember something, and asked Niannian: "Niannian, the competition between the second brother and Zhou Jinmu is tomorrow, how did I do the things I told you?" β
Nian Nian nodded, patted his chest, and said with a smile: "Please Miss put 120,000 points of heart, Miss is absolutely satisfied with what the little maid does!" β
Zhou Huanchun put down the big stone in her heart.
Then, she pointed to Ji Xiaoheng and said unquestionably: "In the future, you will stay in 'Xi Luxuan'!" β
Ji Xiaoheng scratched his head and asked puzzledly, "Is this ...... What does that mean? β
Nian Nian pinched the corner of the handkerchief and gently covered her mouth, and said with a smile: "It means - you are being fostered!" β
Ji Xiaoheng suddenly blushed like a tomato, and hurriedly explained: "I am a serious cook!" Not to come out...... It's not ...... come out."
Before Ji Xiaoheng could finish explaining, Nian Nian gently pressed his hand on the plank of Ji Xiaoheng's calf.
Ji Xiaoheng hurriedly shouted, "Don't press it...... Don't press ...... Hurt...... Hurt...... It hurts ......."
Seeing Ji Xiaoheng's panicked appearance, Zhou Huanchun couldn't help laughing, she finally understood why Niannian liked to tease Ji Xiaoheng so much.
Because Ji Xiaoheng is really an interesting person.
His appearance made "Xi Luxuan" immersed in laughter all night.
β¦β¦
The next day, when the rooster crows at dawn and before dawn, a group of people were already gathered under the Yanwuping ring, including the head of the school, the nurse, the cook, the handyman, the maid and so on......
The crowd whispered to each other.
A white-faced sharp-mouthed man in a miscellaneous uniform pulled his throat and said, "I heard that this duel is a battle book from the second young master!" β
Another cook with a wide heart and a fat body said in a rough voice: "What I heard is also the war book issued by the second young master, and I was so scared that I didn't sleep all night!" β
The maid holding a feather fan next to the fat cook asked, "Why?" β
The fat cook smiled mysteriously, and slowly spit out the answer in the mouth of the sausage.
"Because - even the sows are up the trees! Isn't it scary? β
At the same time, he also made a sow up the tree, vivid, vivid appearance made everyone laugh!
The embroidery girl next to her said in a slight voice: "I didn't sleep all night yesterday!" β
The crowd cooperated and asked, "Why?" β
The embroidery girl blushed and said writhingly: "I hate it!" I don't want people to say it! People won't tell you that in order to be able to witness the heroic posture of Young Master Lingmo throughout the whole process, I embroidered the Spring Palace of the Fourth Lady overnight - oh no, it's the Spring Official Picture! Save the morning to get up hard! β
The best friend next to the embroidery girl was surprised and said to the embroidery girl: "Good sister, you are too hard!" I remember that it took you three days to embroider that picture! β
The martial artist who had a crush on the embroidery girl next to him, pouted his biceps, and hurriedly said: "Zhou Lingmo is a silver-like wax gun head, it's better to use it if you don't like itββ"
Before the martial artist finished speaking, the guard Xiao Shank of the "Yu Li Xuan" next to him grabbed Bai and said, "How can Zhou Lingmo compare to our dear Young Master Zhou Jinmu!" β
The guard asked in a deep way, "Who among you knows the origin of Young Master Zhou Jinmu's 'Spear of the Overlord'?" β
The young martial arts boy next to him who admired the heroic story rushed to say: "I know! I know! Young Master Jin Mu's 'Spear of the Tyrant' was brought out by General Zhou from the Armory Supervisor in the palace when he was fifteen years old and gifted to him, and the Armament Supervisor was not included in the foundry division below the third grade, so this 'Spear of the Tyrant Gun' must have been cast by a foundry master of the third grade or above in the Bai Qin Kingdom! β
"Oh!" Everyone sighed in unison.
