Chapter 1006: Difficulty
In the middle of summer, Chang'an, there was just a rain in the morning, which slightly cooled down the temperature for the hot weather.
The hustle and bustle of the Night Courtyard never stopped. Some of the people who stayed here were criminals who were assigned here to work as coolies, and some of them were palace maids and eunuchs who made mistakes in the palace, and they were assigned here and had almost no chance of turning over.
As soon as the rain stopped, the people in the night court were not necessarily relaxed, people were busy cleaning in the court with brooms and rags, and more people were laboriously cleaning the clothes of the people in the palace. Some of the dirty work in the palace is almost all handed over to the people of the Night Court.
The person in charge of the Night Court was a eunuch in his early thirties, surnamed Ruan, and everyone in the Night Court called him Ruan Gong. If anyone calls him Grandpa Ruan, he will inevitably suffer retribution, and he will definitely not be able to run away from the dirty work of cleaning the toilet and washing the toilet.
Because the Night Secluded Court is almost the three areas in the palace, almost all the big and small things in the court are decided by Ruan Gong.
Don't look at Ruan Gong is just a small steward among the eunuchs, he can't be ranked among the many eunuchs in the palace at all, but he can be the king and hegemon in the night court!
Because the Night Secluded Court is dirty and messy, other eunuchs of higher rank than him will not come here, so his words can be described as a "holy decree" in the Night Secluded Court, which can be described as a "holy decree", if anyone does not obey, who will wait to do dirty work and tiredness, and even go hungry, if he makes a mistake, or provokes Ruan Gong, it is common to be beaten.
The people in the court know that no one can provoke Ruan Gong, otherwise he will have 10,000 ways to torture you to death!
The weather has just rained, and it is rare to be cool. Ruan Gong asked people to bring a chair to lie under the eaves, squinting at the rows of palace maids in front of him to wash clothes, if anyone is lazy, just move their fingers, and the eunuch who supervises them will whip them down.
He enjoyed the feeling of being entitled. Instead of climbing up to be a slave to others and groveling, it is better to be a little soil emperor here, and you can be at ease. Best of all, you can really do whatever you want here!
Those who have basically entered the Night Hidden Court, no matter how much background you have before you come in, there is absolutely no possibility of turning over when you get inside. What is there to fear when dealing with a group of people who are immortal slaves? If you want to fight, you can scold if you want. If it weren't for the missing grunt underneath him, I'm afraid there would have been a lot of dirty things going on.
Although Ruan Gong can't do it anymore, there are many other ways to torture people! Let people learn to bark as a dog, learn to crawl as a cat, and learn to roll as a donkey. Anyway, there is nothing that can't be done, only he can't think of it.
Especially some people who previously had identities were the focus of Ruan Gong's torture. As a eunuch, his psychology is more distorted, and he is in charge of a depressing place like the Night Court, and his psychology can't be changed.
Wu Zetian was inexplicably beaten into the cold palace two years ago, and he was stripped of his identity as a talented person after not staying in the cold palace for long, and was sent to the night court.
used to be the emperor's favorite concubine, but now she has been reduced to washing dirty clothes for others, and there are no more ups and downs in life than this. Sadly, Wu Zetian still doesn't understand why he fell out of favor, why he fell from the red man next to His Majesty to hell all of a sudden, and fell to the night court to do these things that inferior people don't bother to do.
She had always been careful in the palace, and she had never sinned against anyone, so why was that? She couldn't figure it out, so she felt resentment in her heart. After two years, she is no longer the pampered but slightly young girl she was at the beginning.
Two years of life at the bottom have long washed away her fledgling spirit. In this environment, she knows that only patience and only burying the resentment in her heart can she have a chance to live!
As long as you live, you will have the opportunity to climb to the original height, find out who framed you, and then ...... Avenge!
In the two years since he fell into heaven, Wu Zetian has experienced the heat and coldness of the world.
She was born in a new aristocratic family, her father was the prince of the dynasty, and his status was very high, but unfortunately his father died early, and only a few brothers remained after her sister got married. Because her concubine gave birth to a daughter and her status was not high, the mother and daughter were kicked out of the house by their two elder brothers.
After entering the palace and being named a talented person, the two brothers licked their faces and hugged their thighs. Wu Zetian remembered that he was a brother and sister, and he also helped his two elder brothers. It's a pity that she has not been favored as a public figure until she was inexplicably beaten into the cold palace two years ago, and then fell into the night court.
At the beginning, the two elder brothers were still a little conscientious, and asked someone to send some money to help Ruan Gong, Ruan Gong also knew that this martial artist had a background outside, even if it was a declining Guogong Mansion, it was also the Himalayas for him as a little eunuch, and it was very easy to pinch himself to death.
So he took the benefits, and took care of Wu Zetian on weekdays, and he didn't let her do the dirty work, after all, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and he couldn't afford to mess with it. Besides, if you give people small shoes again, I'm afraid it won't end well.
But in the past six months, Wu Zetian's brother outside seems to have forgotten her sister, and he has not asked someone to come in to help. At first, Ruan Gong didn't dare to do anything to her, but after half a year, Ruan Gong gradually understood that this martial artist probably had no chance to turn over, and his brother didn't care about her, who else could save her?
Gradually, Ruan Gong no longer took care of her, and some dirty work was also assigned to her. Now, Wu Zetian is no different from the other female slaves in the Night Court, what others do, she will also do, and she will be beaten and scolded if she makes a mistake.
Today, Ruan Chengcheng was lying on a chair under the eaves to supervise the work, and suddenly saw Wu Zetian kneeling in the last row of washing clothes, and an uncomfortable feeling suddenly rose in his heart. Because Wu Zetian has always had an arrogance, although she will obey everything you say, but that arrogance has always been there.
He hates it so much that someone pretends to be arrogant in front of him! Du Te was beaten into the night court and became a slave girl, arrogant? Lao Tzu's rectification is your arrogance! "Ahem! Which one, a martial artist? Are you doing laundry or playing in the water? Why are you so unstrained? I'm telling you, if your clothes aren't clean, you'll be killed today! ”
Wu Zetian glanced at Ruan Gong, then bowed his head in response, and scrubbed his clothes harder with his hands.
But it was this look that made Ruan Gong extremely uncomfortable, and that sharp look made him feel like he was on his back, as if someone was pricking himself with a needle!
"! Who do you kick? Ruan Gong got up from the seat with a "rub", stepped forward a few steps, and kicked on the laundry tub in front of Wu Zetian. The laundry tub was kicked over and the clothes fell to the floor, meaning that all the hard-working clothes were washed in vain.
Ruan Gong looked at Wu Zetian bowing his head and kneeling on the ground holding back tears, he was very proud, and said to the people around him who were washing clothes: "Count you lucky today, leave all these clothes for her to wash." When to finish washing and when to rest and eat, if you can't finish washing, don't talk about eating, don't sleep! Hum! ”
More than 100 pots of clothes are washed every day, most of which are concubines or princesses in the palace. There are about 40 pots of clothes that have not been washed today. It takes about a quarter of an hour to wash a basin of clothes.
More than 40 pots of clothes were washed, and it took about five hours. This is the time it takes when a person does not eat, drink, or rest and does not have a decrease in physical fitness.
But after all, people are not made of iron, and it is impossible not to get tired after washing clothes for five hours in a row. What's more, Wu Zetian is still a thin woman, and after washing all forty pots of clothes, I'm afraid it really takes a day!
She looked around quietly, and no one stood up to speak for her, all around her were gloating and mocking eyes. If you can't count on others, you can only rely on yourself!
"Wait! One day, I want you back tenfold, hundredfold! No! I want you to suffer a thousand, ten thousand times more than this! Wu Zetian shouted in his heart, but on the surface, he just calmly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and continued to kneel on the ground to scrub his clothes.
Ruan Gong wanted to see Wu Zetian kneeling on the ground begging him, but unfortunately she didn't, not even a superfluous word, so she continued to scrub her clothes silently. This made Ruan Gong feel that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and he kicked Wu Zetian again, and sneered: "Slut! Then you can wash it well! When it comes to doing it, don't want to eat and sleep if you can't finish washing! Hum! ”
