No. 026 Cai Xiaoya
"Slave...... The slave family has no name! ”
The little girl stopped for about a minute before she spoke, but her voice was very calm, without a trace of fluctuation, and she said it so naturally.
Seeing her look like an African refugee now, not to mention being a girl, in ancient times, women were creatures that had no human rights.
"I've decided, you will be called Cai Xiaoya in the future!"
Cai Dao touched his smooth chin with his hand, and when he said this name, he remembered another famous little girl in later generations, with a smile on his face, but, no matter how he looked at it, his smile was a little obscene at this time.
Regardless of Xiaoya's reaction, Cai Dao continued: "Xiaoya! Since I am your brother, you should listen to your brother, I gave you this rotten thing casually, not to mention that this is the stuff of that bad guy, we can't ask for it! ”
For Cai Dao's words, Xiaoya seemed to understand whether she understood or not, but when she heard that her brother gave her a name, she was a little confused, I didn't know whether she was happy or sad, the tear glands in her eyes could no longer be controlled, and two lines of hot tears fell all over the placket.
For Cai Dao to take away the rotten quilt on her body, she no longer struggled.
"Little board, bring me my little bearskin cloak."
Cai Dao tried to wipe away the tears on Xiaoya's face, but he quickly gave up, saying that women are made of water, which is indeed true, as long as it is not a man, this innate skill can be regardless of age.
I touched her head again, and her hair was still a little wet, and it looked dry and yellow in the light, like hay, and there were many forks.
Cai Dao then remembered that when he was in Cai's mansion, he had seen that Xiaoya's hair was full of head lice due to no one taking care of her for a long time, and this thing was extremely stubborn, and it could not be cured by just taking a bath or two.
Cai Ban took the cloak, which was a cloak made of white bear skin, which was quite precious.
The ancient south was also bear's.
Especially in the mountainous areas of Fujian, there are traces from time to time.
However, most are Asiatic black bears, and white bears like this one are very rare. In fact, according to later generations, it was said that he had albinism, which was auspicious in ancient times!
The cloak was made from the skin of a small white bear, and was given to him by a master hunter in a mountain village in Xiaocili when Cai Dao was three years old.
At that time, he was quite close to the body, but in the past few years, he has grown too fast, and even if he is draped on his body, he has become a half-robe, and he was thrown aside by Cai Dao.
This time in Beijing, Cai Xi, the fourth housekeeper, didn't know why he stuffed this cloak into the baggage, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.
However, Cai Dao didn't immediately drape it on Xiaoya's body, but told Cai Ban to get another pair of scissors.
"Childe, except for the small bamboo kitchen knife in our car, all other metals have been scavenged by the palace guards!" Cai Ban didn't move when he heard it, and explained in embarrassment.
Shi Deyi arranged two little eunuchs in the side hall, and he didn't know whether he was serving himself or monitoring himself.
Cai Dao had never bothered to pay attention to them, but now when he heard Cai Ban's explanation, he beckoned to the two little eunuchs
The slightly chubby one glanced at Cai Dao and didn't move.
The other one looked a little similar to Cai Ban, both of them were dry and thin skinny monkeys, ran to Cai Dao in a few steps, and asked, "Little boy, I don't know what you command?" ”
"This little father-in-law, I don't know your surname?" Cai Dao is not polite, ask the other party's name before asking, this is basic etiquette.
"Don't dare to bother the son, the slave doesn't have a surname, just call me Dehai! I don't know what Childe commands? "This little eunuch named Dehai is really very useful, and when he speaks, he is a little closer than just now.
"Father-in-law Lao Dehai went to the guards to ask if he could borrow my scissors first, and they would be returned as soon as they were used."
"This ......, I don't know what the use of the little boy wants scissors?" This matter is really a bit difficult, and the palace is extremely strict with any metal sharp objects.
"This child has lice on his head, and it is difficult to remove the roots without cutting off his hair." Cai Dao pointed to Xiaoya's hair and said helplessly.
Hearing Cai Dao's explanation, this little father-in-law of Dehai was a little surprised, these eunuchs were all from poor backgrounds. Naturally, he knew about this kind of thing. However, the little boy in front of him is obviously from a big family, how can he know the solution to such a trivial matter?
However, he didn't say anything more, just said that he tried his best to try, and turned and left the side hall.
It didn't take much effort, and a guard followed Dehai in, and it seemed that it was done.
Next, the matter is short.
Cai Dao naturally won't do this kind of trivial thing himself, not to mention that he still has some slight cleanliness and dense phobia, he is not afraid of small insects, but as soon as that thing is dense, he will have goosebumps all over his body.
Xiaoya's head was cut by Cai Ban, the craftsmanship is not bad, and it doesn't take much effort, and a freshly baked bald version of Xiaoya will make a shining debut.
Cai Dao took in so many children in his hometown, for personal hygiene considerations, regardless of gender, Cai Dao cut their heads, and this kid practiced his skills in this way.
Returning the scissors to the guard, the other party didn't say anything, just took a deep look at Cai Dao with strange eyes, and then turned around and left the side hall.
Cai Dao naturally didn't know this, and even if he saw it, he didn't care. Looking at this posture, he will see a lot of guards like this in the future, and these people are just passers-by to him at most.
There are a lot of things in the carriage, but Cai Dao keeps them very neat and tidy, and it is very convenient to carry them. And the larger boxes are equipped with small iron wheels, and there is a strong man like Cai Bucket.
It was a matter of cutting the little girl's hair, and the carriage was emptied, and the things on it were neatly placed in the side hall.
"Brother, do you want to send me to the temple to be a nun!" Xiaoya's tears have not stopped, and she touched her little bald head in confusion, feeling a little unclear in her heart.
"Hah...... Hah, silly girl. You want to go there, brother, I'm here to treat you! If you don't believe it, you ask Xiao Confused, think that at the beginning, when she first arrived at our house, she was also cut off by a small board. Isn't it? Cai Dao was amused by Xiaoya's words, and touched Xiaoya's bald head with his hand.
Not to mention, the craftsmanship of the small board is really superb, without using a razor, just using scissors to shave the hair so bare.
"Yes! Little girl, what Childe said is true. Actually, I would have liked to have a bald head all the time, but Childe said that girls must have long hair. It's a hassle to wash your hair when it grows! Xiao Confused remembered the past, and did not feel shy at all, but complained to Cai Dao.
This little girl is not only a little confused, but her brain circuits are different from ordinary girls' papers.
Anyone who is sent to Cai Fu, as long as they are over 3 years old, regardless of gender, will be cut bald for the first time.
The boys just paid it back, but the girls took a lot of effort, they either cried or grabbed their hair and resisted.
However, only a little confusion was the only one, she didn't say a word from beginning to end, and after her hair grew out, she repeatedly wanted Cai Dao to shave her head again.
Of course, Cai Dao will not agree to this.
"Oh!" With the explanation of the same girl's little confusion, Xiaoya was relieved.
"Father-in-law Dehai, if you don't dislike this thing, I'll give it to you. It can also be cold at night, but it can also hide the cold. Cai Dao wanted Cai Ban to throw away the broken quilt, but when he saw that the two eunuchs were staring at it, he gave it to Dehai.
As for the other father-in-law, who did he look dead just now!
You deserve to freeze to death!
After that, Cai Dao opened the door of the honeycomb coal stove, and with the assistance of Xiao Mi, he started today's dinner.
Because Cai Xiaoya often can't eat enough and is malnourished, Cai Dao didn't give her those meats, but deliberately burned a big pot of white rice porridge, and specially sprinkled some cooked bird's nest into Xiaoya and Xiao Mi's bowl.
The crowd ate hastily.
In ancient times, servants were not allowed to eat at the same table as their masters.
Cai Bucket and they have been with Cai Dao for a long time, so they naturally know that Gongzi is not so particular about this.
Cai Xiaoya was the first time, drinking fragrant bird's nest porridge, while carefully looking at everyone's faces, and seeing that everyone's expressions were very natural when eating, she was relieved.
However, she still couldn't let go, and when she drank porridge, she licked it, taking a small bite, like a kitten, and she didn't dare to make a sound.
As foodies, the carriage is loaded with meat, except for Xiaoya, Cai Dao and they are naturally not happy with meat, anyway, they are still young, and they usually exercise a lot, so they don't have to deliberately diet.
They feel that their meals are simple.
However, in the eyes of the two little eunuchs, they were very envious.
Seeing their greedy looks, Cai Dao still gave in.
For some reason, even Dehai, who had a positive attitude just now, didn't dare to accept it, and just swallowed and foamed on the side.
Cai Dao understood at this time.
Since these two little eunuchs didn't dare to accept even a little bit of food from Cai Dao, it was obviously specially ordered by the big eunuch Shi Deyi.
Seven or eight times out of ten, they are here to spy on themselves.
It's a very uncomfortable feeling to be stared at. I can't do anything, and I feel very awkward about what to do.
I don't know if it's Song Shenzong's decision, if not, that big lady named Shi Deyi is really strictly supervised!
