Text Chapter 2 The canteen smells of meat
As it turned out, even if the old lady had been there, it didn't make much difference to my position in the house, for example, I was still wearing half-wet clothes, hungry and hungry.
It's also said that it's a young lady, and she doesn't even have a close-up maid. I got out of bed with my feet on the ground, but I saw that there was only dust left on the dresser, not to mention the jewelry on the head and face, and I couldn't find a wooden hairpin with my hair tied up. I had no choice but to appointedly pull a crooked strip of cloth from my torn clothes and barely tie up my loose hair.
Not to mention, my hair is black and long, and there is quite a lot of volume, so I think this body should be a picturesque and delicate.
No matter how delicate you are, you always have to eat.
I snuck out the door, and it was a small, dilapidated yard, and even the greenery in the courtyard was low and ugly shrubs, so stingy that I refused to plant even a flower. And now it's the hot weather in July, and the malaise of the yard is really uncomfortable to see.
My courtyard is a standard one-entry small courtyard, but fortunately, I was given a main room. I slipped out against the moss-covered stone wall with a heavy sense of history, I don't know how far, and when I passed by, I accidentally heard the chatter of the maid into my ears, and there were many words in this conversation, "prince" and "second girl", I thought it was related to me, so I stopped and listened attentively.
A little maid said crisply: "The second girl has the blue eyes of the royal Yue King, which is really a blessing from the previous life." ”
One person laughed out loud, and his voice blocked her back a little sharply: "Hey, where did you say the word blessing, don't you know what that Yue Wang Ye looks like?" ”
Another voice replied: "I've heard that King Yue was made a ghost king, could it be because he killed too many enemies in battle?" ”
The shrill voice said: "Fighting, fighting the ghost king is a good hand, but it's a pity that he has a pair of skins." ”
The tone was so sad that even I, the spectator who was hiding under the wall and eavesdropping, couldn't help but prick up my ears.
"Eighteen years ago, this ghost king had just been born, and the three heavenly thunderbolts clattered down through the heavy clouds and mist, and they cracked a hole in the thick palace and directly hit the newborn doll."
Several girls exclaimed: "Ah, the prince is still alive?" ”
"It's a pity, a few thunders didn't kill the ghost prince, but scared Concubine Shu, who had just given birth, to death. It is rumored that there is also a saying that Niangniang opened her eyes and saw her son who was struck by lightning and scared to death. ”
"A body that has been struck by lightning, is that still a human body?"
The shrill voice said: "So the oil has almost run out recently, and the emperor is very pity, thinking that the ghost king is eighteen years old and has not yet married, so he wants to find a woman who matches the eight characters of the birthday as soon as possible, and marry into the palace to serve the prince." ”
A little girl was angry: "Where is this to marry in and serve the prince, it is clear that she was happy in the past." ”
In a trance, I felt that I had eight words pasted on the door of my head: clearly marked the price, and sold as you like.
"The past is over, Chongxi is Chongxi, but she is just an unfavored girl......"
I, an unfavored girl, didn't want to listen to the chatter of these rough girls anymore, and continued to walk in search of the way, just now the cat bent on the stomach and didn't feel anything, now standing up straight, really hungry in the cramping stomach playing gossip Tai Chi, bumping into the nausea with a sour smell rushed straight to the head, so that I have a little smell of the fragrance of cooked buns.
Yes, I have amnesia, but the smell of buns is unforgettable.
I hurriedly sniffed it and ran to the kitchen.
It's afternoon, the sun is shining, so that the diligent subordinates are lazy, this canteen should not be a single canteen in a certain courtyard, here is the boundary is bright and wide, on the table on the table are brightly colored turnaround vases and blue and white ornamental bowls are not ordinary at first glance.
I took advantage of the gap between the cooks to turn their minds and slipped in, and there was a basket of steamed buns on the stove, which was big and fat and white, and the fragrance could overflow such a large dining hall, I picked out a steamed bun with a red heart, and tiptoed out the door with my hands in my hand, and I don't know if those cooks really didn't notice or pretended not to know, and no one came out to stop me.
I was secretly rejoicing when the man who stopped me came.
I felt the collar of my front neck suddenly tighten, and the wind in my back neck whirred into my clothes, and when I raised my eyes, my feet were no longer flat and thick earth, but a trembling branch. I stabilized my body and found that I was walking on the ground, and my mind that I didn't care much about it became even more indifferent, but I focused more on the bun in my hand.
There is still a person standing at the end of the branch, most of his body is hidden in the mottled shade, look at this waist, look at this broad shoulders, look at the height of this person, well, eighty percent is a man. It's still a muscular man.
It's pitiful that such a small twig that is not much fragile than a girl's arm, and that it has to carry the weight of two people on it.
Pitiful, I sighed at the white fat bun and took a bite of it.
The skin is soft and not thick, the filling can be bitten in one bite, the soup is delicious and not oily, it is really a big bun!
I don't know if I was hooked by the scent of steamed buns, but I obviously noticed that the branches under my feet were shaking twice.
I shook the bun in front of him: "You're hungry too?" ”
He didn't nod or shake his head, and I acquiesced to him.
"But alas, I took this bun."
Three times five divided by two, the bun went into my stomach, and I raised my chin towards the man as if she were ostentatious.
The man finally couldn't help it, and a low and hoarse voice poured out of his lips, and it was really unpleasant to listen to: "The second girl from the Xiangye Mansion is so ignorant of the rules. ”
"This preachy uncle who came from nowhere, he doesn't know the rules like my little girl, and he refuses to go through the door without a post, so he broke into the inner house directly over the wall, and pulled a daughter who has not left the cabinet to the obscure place of lonely men and widows.
I think I'm a good (harmonious) person, but I'm not a temperamental master. If you dare to say one sentence to me, I will top you ten sentences, anyway, my mind is empty, and I will pick up one of the idioms.
"I'm not like a girl, I don't steal food from my kitchen."
"Is your own food also called stealing?" I straightened out the neckline that was deformed by this man, my torn clothes, I am afraid that they are only about to become a small rag, and my heart is so distressed that my liver trembles, "But then again, stealing a girl is a much heavier punishment than stealing this word." ”
He coughed lightly, seemingly embarrassed.
I asked, "How do I go down?" ”
"Ordinary girl, shouldn't you ask me if I'm a person first?"
"Who are you," I was impatient, "how am I going to go down?" ”
The person on the other side seemed to be choking on saliva, and he took a steady step towards me and asked me, "Who are you?" ”
Although I am a good (harmonious) person, I can't allow anyone to waste my time like a fool, so I sneered, "You don't recognize me? You don't know what I'm doing when I catch me? The eagle catches the chick, which is which? ”
"I have heard that the second girl in the Xiangye Mansion is weak and sick," the man seemed to be talking to himself, "It seems that the rumors are wrong, and the rumors are very fierce." ”
I followed his words and said, "Well, rumors, rumors. ”
"However, the Tang family of the Prime Minister's Mansion has always been a scholarly family, and even the court advocates cultivating literature and martial arts, why does the daughter of the Tang family have a light industry body?"
I was surprised, "Where am I going to do it?" ”
The man pressed the branch with his own body, but I was still steady, "Isn't this a light skill?" ”
"I'm just standing firm."
"You just entered the no-man's land in the dining hall, didn't you just do light work?"
"That's because I'm tiptoeing," I said more frankly, "If Your Excellency insists that these unpopular tricks are light skills, then you should know who the best people in the world are." ”
The other party made a look of deafness: "Who is it?" ”
"A beggar who is dying of hunger hiding under the wall of the bun shop. They are forced to make a living, for the sake of stuttering, and naturally they are full of tricks. ”
The man rebuked, "Crooked! ”
I shook my head and sneered, "It seems that the prince is used to being in a high position, and if he thinks about it, he can't see the suffering of the world, and his mind is full of the bones of the big husband who doesn't eat the food that comes to him?" ”
is so bored to come to chat with a deep daughter who is about to leave the cabinet, not the prince who wants to marry me, who else will have the leisure to come here to waste time.
"You ......" he seemed to be angry with me, raised his hand and pointed at me for a long time, holding back a few words from between his teeth, "Interesting girl." ”
This should be a positive assessment, but I think it's weird when I hear it.
"You and I have three days to get married, today is the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month, the begging festival, this king is not," he coughed lightly, full of dryness and hoarseness, as if his throat was smoked, "this king just wants to see if the clothes sent to you fit or not." ”
I looked down at my ragged clothes, and poor baba, "What clothes." ”
He looked at me carefully, and suddenly laughed coldly, "The clothes that this king gave to the princess are also remembered, it is really bold!" ”
I thought to myself, it's just a piece of clothing, and I'm pretty neat in a coarse coat.
He suddenly pressed the branches, neatly turned over and went down the tree, my tree was not so good-looking, the long-term stability of the body was deliberately broken by him at once, and he had to borrow strength from a few intricate branches below, and then he reluctantly turned over and fell to the ground.
The place where it landed was the outside of the canteen wall, and it was a gloomy boundary overgrown with weeds.
"Where did you learn kung fu?"
I watched him awkwardly withdraw his hands that were stretched out towards me, and replied angrily, "Thank you, it's a pity that I really haven't learned kung fu." ”
