At noon the next day, Rong Fang Hall really sent someone to urge Zhuo Xi to go for a physical examination, and the two maids were not allowed to bring any of them, only Zhuo Xi was allowed to go alone. Before leaving, looking at Ping'er and Pan'er's worried eyes, Zhuo Xi showed them a reassuring smile.

After Zhuo Xi left, Ping'er immediately went to report to Lanyang, Pan'er stayed alone and paced back and forth anxiously in Tingjutang, she could only silently pray for her girl in her heart, hoping that she could successfully pass this hurdle.

A round arch, due to the erosion of perennial wind and rain, the outer layer of the wooden door has fallen off a lot, revealing its mottled nature. Some remnants of dark red wall skin can be faintly seen on the walls on both sides. The creeper has not yet grown leaves, the dry vines are like a chain to firmly grasp the entire courtyard wall, occasionally one or two dead leaves fall with the wind, making the whole courtyard appear extremely depressed and miserable, and the three words on the door "Examination Hall" are even more dazzling.

The maid who passed the message took Zhuo Xi to the door and left, leaving Zhuo Xi to walk into the courtyard alone. The courtyard was not large, but as dilapidated as the outside, with five or six rooms built against the wall, and one side of the wall was still covered with dead vines.

Zhuo Xi walked a few steps inside, and vaguely heard a sound in a room, so he stopped and listened carefully.

It seemed to be a woman's subtle cry, and a heavy woman's scolding. Although Zhuo Xi was a little nervous, he still walked curiously towards the room where the sound came from.

There is a wooden sign hanging on the door of each room here, with a different number written on it, and the door with a voice is hung with the words "Qingbi Ertang". Qing Zhi? Beanstalk? Isn't this the place to check up the new girls?

Zhuo Xi suppressed her throbbing emotions and looked inside through the gap in the window.

I saw that there were many beds in the room, and each bed was separated by a curtain in the middle. I saw five or six girls standing against the wall with their heads bowed and uneasy, and standing opposite them was a woman with high hair in a bun, impatiently pointing at them with a finger. On the inner side of the ground, a woman was curled up on the ground and weeping quietly.

"Listen, whoever is in turn will quickly undress and lie on the bed, if anyone makes a fuss like her again, they will see that you look good! Don't embarrass me, and don't embarrass you! It's not that you are undressed and serve men, what's so embarrassing?! You, come over to me! ”

The woman in Tsing Yi Luo Skirt who was pointed out walked over tremblingly, who knew that the woman with a high bun thought she was too slow, and raised her hand to slap her, and with a crisp sound of "pop", a clear red fingerprint was left on the little face of the woman in Tsing Yi.

This slap startled Zhuo Xi, who was peeking outside.

"What are you doing so abrasively, do you think you're on a sedan chair? Hurry up and undress! The old lady will have business in a while, and you will delay to see the old lady tear your skin! The woman in the uphead shouted and cursed arrogantly.

The poor woman in Tsing Yi tore off her clothes before she could cry, and her developing body was exposed at once.

The high-haired woman looked lightly at the delicate body that had not yet grown from top to bottom, sometimes reaching out to pinch her shoulders, sometimes reaching out to touch her back. At first, the woman in Tsing Yi gritted her teeth and endured it, but later she couldn't bear it anymore, and her arms tightly hugged the body that no longer belonged to her, and she cried loudly.

The high-haired woman snorted coldly and scolded: "It's really cheap, what's there to cry about, you'd better get acquainted and cooperate!" Rudely pulled the woman and threw her on the bed, and then pulled up the curtain of the bed to separate everyone.

Zhuo Xi felt that he was so depressed that he was about to lose his breath, and he really wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry. If the cleansing instrument only makes you cut off the relationship with the past, then this body examination hall is to deprive you of the last bit of dignity.

Zhuo Xi's mind was blank, and he couldn't hear the insulting slapping sound that came from the room one after another, as well as the woman's suppressed cry. Think about the woman just now, who was the same age as herself, was torn off her clothes and kneaded at will in front of everyone, if she was replaced by herself, how would she bear it?

Zhuo Xi walked forward blankly. One of the rooms in the main room was slightly different from the others, with a thick curtain hanging on the door, and the sign on the door read "Yitang", which should be the place where the mothers received the medical examinations. Zhuo Xi stood at the door for a long time before asking, "Is there anyone in the house?" ”

After asking four or five times in a row and no one answered, Zhuo Xi reached out and lifted the curtain and walked inside, feeling obviously much warmer than outside as soon as he entered the house. There was a stove in the center of the room, a teapot was sitting on the stove and it was hissing hot, and on one of the tables inside were some bamboo felt pens, and on the other side of the table were a bronze mirror and some rouge gouache and other women's supplies.

Zhuo Xi was looking when he heard footsteps coming from the back room. I saw a slightly chubby middle-aged woman twisting her waist and walking out of the back room, although she could already see some white hair in her hair, but the rouge on her face was very thick, and she was about to fall off the slag, a big mouth was bright red, and her neck was very black, and she was wearing a silk satin long skirt with blue flowers on a red background, and she was suspected of pretending to be tender with yellow flowers --- old gourd, and Zhuo Xi laughed dumbly. The woman saw Zhuo Xi and said dissatisfied: "There are really no rules, don't you know how to greet you first and then come in?" ”

I really think of myself as the master, and I have to say hello first? Obviously, I had asked several times outside the door just now, but no one responded, but now I am angry! Zhuo Xi didn't argue, and said with a slight salute: "The little girl Fushan Courtyard has written Zhuo Xi..."

"What Ukiyama-in? Also Zhuo... Zhuo what west, why not call Zhuo Dong? The woman glanced at Zhuo Xi, and waved her fat palm to interrupt her words, "You haven't had a physical examination yet, you haven't been registered, and you can't say that you are a person from Fushan Courtyard." This old man is really, he doesn't take the rules of our Ninglu Hall seriously! ”

It was the first time Zhuo Xi had heard someone slander Mr. Hongan like this, but listening to her words, wasn't Mr. Hongan from Ninglutang?

The fat woman walked to the table where the book was placed and sat down, opened a book slip, picked up the felt pen and prepared to write, and when she was about to put down the pen, she seemed to have forgotten something, squinted at Zhuo Xi and asked, "What day is it?" ”

"February 26," Zhuo Xi replied. In a trance, it seemed that more than half a month had passed from Luocaozhai to Ninglu Hall, that is, more than half a month had passed since I left my parents.

Then another woman came in from outside the door, a little taller, a little thinner, about the same age as the fat woman, but her hair was black and shiny, the ends of her hair were braided and hung down on her chest, she was also coated with thick rouge, her lips were smeared red, and she was also dressed in bright clothes, which I really dare not agree... Zhuo Xi watched it with another chill.

After the woman came in, she glanced at Zhuo Xi, and then walked straight to the table where the bronze mirror was placed, and while fiddling with her braids in the mirror, she said disdainfully: "You girl is really a blessing, you can get special care just here, and today our old sisters will make a special trip to serve you!" ”

Special attention? There is no need to think about it, Zhuo Xi also knows who cares about her so much.

The fat woman put down her pen, looked up at the braided woman and said, "Since Sister Cui is here, let's start." ”

"Okay, it's early, I can go back and take care of my precious hair. Which room are we going to? The woman, known as "Sister Tsui," asked.

"It's right here, Mama Liu of Qingfang Hall is using it, the other rooms are strangely cold, if such a delicate girl is frozen, we can't afford it!" The fat woman squeezed out a stiff smile and said.

"Also, the above has explained, we want to serve this girl well, if the service is not good and the girl is not satisfied, our old sisters can not afford to be guilty!" Mama Cui said with a smile as she squinted at Zhuo Xi.

Zhuo Xi listened to the conversation between the two, remembering the scene she had just seen, and goosebumps all over her body, especially the ill-intentioned laughter, made her feel like a mermaid again, at this moment, she felt humiliated, angry, but helpless.

"Okay, girl, now that our sisters are going to work, you'd better cooperate, don't cry and make trouble like other girls, and in the end it's not good for anyone." The fat woman said with a straight face.

Right here? Akari said that he was afraid that she would freeze, but in fact, he was afraid that she had ulterior motives, right? This room is not as good as the other rooms are isolated, anyone can come in at any time, in case a man comes in, then Zhuo Xi's innocence will really be ruined.

The two grandmothers slowly approached, Zhuo Xi stretched out his hand to stop in front of them, and said loudly: "Slow, I'm not afraid of being cold, please take me to the girls' physical examination room!" ”

Zhuo Xi's voice startled the two grandmothers, but who of the girls who came here was not crying, ashamed and afraid? I really haven't encountered such a bold and daring to talk to them about the conditions!

The fat mama reacted first, and said with a tiger face: "Girl, can you see clearly, this is the physical examination hall, you have to listen to us here, if you dare to mess around, believe it or not, I will pull you to the yard to test now?" ”

Cui Mama also said: "I heard that the girl came out of the bandit mountain, presumably this body is also contaminated with a lot of banditry, why don't you want to have a physical examination, are you already unclean?" Saying that, he sneered and looked Zhuo Xi up and down.

Being humiliated by them, Zhuo Xi's eyes turned red in an instant, but she still held back her tears and didn't let her tears flow. Zhuo Xi took a step back and said loudly: "You are spewing blood!" You're slandering! I didn't disagree, but this is not a place for a medical examination, please take me to the medical examination room! ”

The two grandmothers glanced at each other, Cui's grandmother flicked her braids, rolled up her sleeves again, approached Zhuo Xi again, and said: "I heard that you made a big fuss about the purifier, but I didn't expect to make trouble with my body examination hall today, but today let me see how bold you are!" As he spoke, he grabbed Zhuo Xi's two arms. But how could this powerless little girl be the opponent of this strong old woman!

Zhuo Xi was imprisoned and couldn't move his hands, the fat mama came over and ripped off the silk binding thread on Zhuo Xi's head, and a black hair instantly scattered like a waterfall, the hair was soft and delicate, and the luster was full, and there was fire in the eyes of Mama Cui, such flexible and beautiful hair was much stronger than her proud hair!

When Fat Mama saw Cui's eyes glowing, she knew that she was thinking about other people's hair again, so she reminded: "Sister Cui, let's take a good look at it, don't let an unclean person break the rules of our Ninglu Hall!" ”

"Oh~ Okay, I'll catch her, you come to test..."Cui Mama said, with a force of both hands, Zhuo Xi only felt a sore arm, and the whole person was pressed down on the table, and suddenly a sense of shame rose from the bottom of her heart, and two lines of tears welled up at once, she writhed and struggled, and shouted: "It's not proper for you to forcibly check your body like this, I'm going to sue you..."

"Rules? Here we are the rules, let you be better than you can be better, if you don't let you be better you can't be better! The fat mama said with a hideous face.

"No, this girl is making too much trouble, you go find a rope to tie her hands!" Mama Cui shouted to Fat Mama a little breathlessly.

"Who's going to tie whose hands?" A majestic and loud female voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and the three people in the room suddenly stopped, and looked towards the door with their eyes brushed.

"Could it be..."The fat mama looked at Mama Cui with a look of surprise, and Mama Cui also looked at the door with a blank look of disbelief.

"What day is it today, why is your body examination hall so noisy?" Before he could finish speaking, a figure had already entered the door.
