Chapter 10 Inside the Wall and Outside the Wall

Good guy, listen to the corner of the wall.

Although the eldest lady clearly said that I was her own child, the secret meaning made it clear that I was just a poor girl raised in the fishing village and raised in the house.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt relieved, if my family is like this to me, I still have to lament a thin coldness; But if a stranger does this to me, that's normal.

But what kind of birthday am I, so that I can let the dignified Xiangguo Mansion take my town? And let the emperor Chrysostom take me as his son's daughter-in-law and rejoice?

I quietly closed the gap in the bricks, slipped back to my small, dilapidated courtyard, and slept peacefully on the collapsed bed.

The next day, Xiao Yi was assigned to come and serve me to freshen up, and to take me to the old lady's room to say goodbye. I couldn't wake up, I was dazed and let her skillfully fiddle with me, soft and not very cooperative, Xiao Yi tossed me for more than half an hour before letting me get up, went out, and walked towards the position of the old lady's courtyard, and was to be helped by her to bring out the perfect demeanor of her beautiful daughter, and the small broken steps and grinding walked for half an hour.

I heard Xiao Yi walking beside me, and his teeth grinded and grinded the ground for half an hour.

When I opened the curtain and entered the house, I saw three men kneeling on the waist in front of the old lady, dressed in brocade and pattern, but this kneeling is not like kneeling and standing like a decadent demeanor, which makes me very unimpressed with these three men.

“…… said that it was under the defense at home and could be completely relaxed, which heart did you tell my wife to let go! ”

The old lady burst into tears, although she was neatly dressed and her hair was full of pearls, her eyelids were shrugged, and her eyes were dark and blue, which made her look no less than ten years older than usual.

"That bead, that bead......" The old lady's flabby skin on her cheeks moved fiercely, and when she raised her faint old eyes, she caught a glimpse of me, she breathed a deep sigh and said, "The second girl is here." ”

The three men who knelt down and the one who looked the oldest among them glanced at me, but it was just a glance, no joy or anger, and they silently lowered their heads to listen to her old lady's trembling scolding, like a student who had lost his homework in the school.

I sneered in my heart, and I didn't lose face.

"Say hello to the old lady."

She waved her hand and said: "The second girl will marry the palace in two days, and it must be tiring to come in these two days, so you don't have to come to ask for peace." ”

Hey, I drove people away without saying a word, but this is fine, saving me from getting up early to dress up.

I listened to the little one next to me and breathed a sigh of relief, this breath of relief was steady, and I really couldn't help but laugh out loud when I heard it.

Xiao Yi helped me turn around, and I listened to the old lady behind me start choking and screaming again: "No matter what you think of this bead, you need to find it back for me as soon as possible!" If it falls and spreads its reputation all over the world, our family will lose their heads! ”

I was stunned for a moment, half turned sideways to look at the old lady, and saw the old man at the head, my biological father looking at me from the gap in the armpit, his body was soft like a tick, and his posture was strange like a snake and lizard spirit without bones, and what was even more terrifying was the pair of eyes he stared at me, which were really unabashedly covered with crimson blood, full of irrepressible, almost cathartic resentment.

The resentment was so inexplicable that I was so shocked that I paused. Xiao Yi was very frightened beside me, and hurriedly shook my arm to bring me back to my senses, and whispered to me: "Hurry up, hurry up." ”

The curtain was in front of me, and I turned around and opened it.

I heard a male voice speak to her: "Old lady, if they pass it out, it is just a thief who dares to steal tribute, and he will never be able to pull it from our house." ”

The sharp and mean sneer rose again, and I heard the old lady say: "The palace is not a box that is sealed and does not cast light, and the emperor is not a simple, kind and bullying lord, but if there are some rumors, even if the emperor settles the rumors, he needs to investigate thoroughly, and then find out the truth of the palace, and he will definitely know your tricks!" ”

"If the truth is found out and it is published in the world, will it not be handed to the people? How could the emperor not have a calculation. ”

The old lady patted the soft collapse and scolded: "Is it because you have a calculation or the emperor's wise trust has a calculation, there are many ways to solve the problem without announcing it, you must close your mouth that can't spit out any ivory!" ”

I had actually walked outside the door, lazy and loose skeleton was lying here and refused to move, Xiao Yi really couldn't stand it, and saluted me and said: "Girl, there is still work waiting for me in the yard of the eldest lady, and the slave and maid will retire first." ”

I listened to the movement in it with joy, and only waved my hand at her: "Walk slowly, don't send it." ”

After a long time of stability in the room through the curtains, Guiyan came out of the curtain and saw me, her eyes were as wide as copper bells, she hurriedly pulled me down the stone stairs, looked at the room for the first time before she lowered her voice and said, "Girl, why don't you go back?" ”

I smiled and lied and explained: "My back hurts so much that I have to stand at the door for a while."

Gui Yan said to me: "The old lady lost a bead that she loved, and the three masters didn't have a way to discuss it, so they were naturally angry." If the girl has nothing serious, she will be exempted from the invitation for a few days, and just stay in the house obediently. ”

I smiled at her and said, "No good, no good!" If you don't go out for a walk twice a day, I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death in the house. ”

As long as I'm not a fool, I know what I'm teasing. Guiyan's face is a little thin, and when she heard my words, it was as if I smashed a box of rouge on her face, and she whispered: "These minions really don't care about things, and they don't have to be wronged girls." ”

"I can't grieve the girl, I can only starve the girl to death."

Guiyan's face became even more dry, she saluted me and asked, "What do you want to eat, girl, Guiyan will let the canteen make it for you and send it to the room." ”

I thought for a moment, "Osmanthus cake." ”

Gui Yan said: "The girl is not embarrassed for me, this osmanthus cake must be made with fresh osmanthus flowers, but now it is a hot July, where to find osmanthus for you?" ”

So how did I get the osmanthus cake I took from the canteen last night? Before I could ask, I saw a well-behaved girl trotting up to me and saluting, saying, "Girl, the eldest lady has invited you to dinner in the courtyard." ”

Gui Yan breathed a sigh of relief, the flush on her face that was flushed with anxiety faded for the most part, and she said to me, "Girl, go quickly, don't let the eldest lady wait for you." ”

I was really puzzled, so I said: "I will naturally go to the place where the eldest lady is, but the osmanthus cake is not a cake that occupies the stomach, I want to eat it later, what can you do?" ”

"I'm not afraid of the girl's blame, but Guiyan really can't do it."

The little girl sent by the eldest lady to deliver a message to me suddenly said loudly: "The slave maid has a way, can you invite the second girl, Sister Guiyan to listen to it." ”

Guiyan has been beaten by me last time, but now she has learned a lot from me, she glanced at me first, and saw that I had no objection, so she said to the little girl: "Tell me, what do you do." ”

"The slave maid heard that the osmanthus blossoming is just the autumn chill, if you find a cold place, it is inevitable that a few osmanthus trees will bloom."

Guiyan's face changed suddenly, she seemed to want to stop me from asking something, but she moved her mouth, but she couldn't ask in the end.

So I asked very unceremoniously: "Where is this place in the capital?" ”

The little girl replied to me crisply: "The Yue Wang's Mansion, known as the Ghost King's Mansion, is said to be cloudy on all sides, and even the hottest summer weather is so cold that it is freezing." Osmanthus has always symbolized wealth, His Royal Highness the King of Yue is the emperor's son and son, the royal bloodline of the eight classics, the house must be planted with osmanthus trees, the girl is the heroine of the palace in the future, but it is to ask for a little to make osmanthus cake, is it not easy to do it in a word? ”

Nowadays, only the osmanthus tree can bloom in the Yue Wang's Mansion.

Only the Yue Wangye's mansion can make fresh osmanthus cakes.

Recognizing these two realities, I suddenly felt a pang in my chest, not knowing what to say or do. It was the little girl who urged me to hurry to the big lady's room for dinner, and I was relieved from my surprise and stunned.

Gui Yan smiled dryly and reprimanded: "I don't know how important a girl, where can the things of the palace be so lightly begged?" Then he said to me, "Girl, this girl doesn't know what to do, and I reprimanded her, so don't get excited." ”

This person is like this, if no one puts you at ease, then you will simply wander, and no matter how much you eat your eyes, it will only be ordinary, but if you know that someone cares, if others have a little offense, they feel extremely unworthy in their hearts.

So I stared at Guiyan and asked, "What are you afraid of?" ”

She was so frightened that she panicked, trembling with fear, but she held a breath in her mouth and smiled: "After all, Prince Yue is the girl's husband immediately, and if it is troublesome, I am afraid that it will also affect the girl's status in the family in the future." ”

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Gui Yan knew that her deeds could not be reduced to a subtle lie, so she knelt down and confessed to me: "Gui Yan is afraid that the girl will let the prince know the essence of not being favored in the palace. She cried out to me and begged me, "Girl, girl, we can't tolerate another mistake in our house." ”

I said, "I'm an unfavored girl, what are you panicking about?" ”

"The prince sent someone to mention our house yesterday because of the clothes." Guiyan replied to me, "The slave and maid will know, no matter what, the girl has a status in the heart of the prince." ”

"You are a slave and maid, but you can see it more thoroughly than the masters in the house."

Gui Yan lowered her head and replied to me: "The old lady is also thinking about the girl, but because she encountered a lot of bad things at first glance last night, she didn't have time to give instructions to the whole house. ”

But there is a lot of thought on a bead, and this bead must not be an ordinary origin.

I didn't want to make a detour about her, so I said directly: "It's just an osmanthus cake, I can't complain to the prince about being a villain, and relax my heart." ”

"Slave, thank you, girl."
