Chapter 35 Finding a Job
Qiu Jue was so tired that she slept until three poles in the morning, and the owner of the farm came back from the field, and the kind mother-in-law woke them up after cooking.
"Girl, come and sit down, you're hungry, there's nothing to entertain you here."
Two plates of pickles, a few chili peppers, three coarse steamed buns, and a pot of chicken, it's lunch.
Qiu Jue sat down and looked at the things on the table with a little weakness, what she eats on weekdays is really ......
No wonder I always heard rich people say that if they want to go to the countryside to experience life, they will be frugal for a period of time in the countryside next time.
"It's already good, thank you, mother-in-law."
Qiu Jue didn't say anything, chatting with the old man as she spoke, "Mother-in-law, your village doesn't look small, why are there so few people?" ”
When she arrived, she had noticed that many of the rooms were empty, and the doors were covered with cobwebs, which had not been opened for years.
The old man sighed, her dark hands were full of calluses, and she held a wooden spoon to serve porridge to Qiu Jue and Xiaocao, with a satisfied smile on her face.
Hearing this, he said: "It's all caused by the war, a few years ago, the imperial court conscripted, the old man and his son were arrested, and other families are in a similar situation." ”
"If it's peaceful today, don't you want to live somewhere else?"
The old man sat down, picked up two of the steamed buns and handed them to Qiu Jue and Xiaocao, took the rest of the one himself, and bit off less than half of it in one bite.
"That's not possible, if the old man and his son come back, they won't be able to find a home."
Looking at the empty courtyard, Qiu Jue suddenly felt a little sad, after twenty years of fighting, the world is peaceful.
But there are still many people who have lost their husbands, fathers and sons.
They are waiting, those who may not come back at all or who are long gone.
But they are at peace of mind.
Qiu Jue suddenly thought that he jumped into the sea and died like that, how sad should his parents be?
Will it be like this mother-in-law, who has been waiting for her, or......
She just wants to live a life where she can do whatever she wants, but she forgets about the suffering and waiting of her family.
Qiu Jue suddenly had an urge to go home.
Maybe there is such a person in this plane who can send her back.
After they ate, Qiu Jue asked Xiaocao to secretly leave ten taels of silver for the old man, and left.
Qiu Jue had to hold the little wolf cub along the way, and Xiaocao wanted to hug it, but the little wolf cub didn't let go of his paws, and his little eyes didn't even look at Xiaocao.
Very dependent on Qiu Jue.
But in this way, Qiu Jue's arm was about to be broken, and she was scared several times to throw it away, but the little wolf cub didn't realize it at all, and she was sleeping in her arms.
For this reason, when they arrived at Dark Moon City, it was already noon on the third day.
All the way south, there was a slight humidity in the air, which made Qiu Jue miss his hometown a little.
They changed into single clothes and found an inn to stay in, ready to find out the news.
Youyue Ancient City, which has existed for a long time, is rumored to be the ancient capital of the first dynasty thousands of years ago, with a strong historical atmosphere.
The buildings on the street are also more old, and after Qiu Jue and her sisters simply freshened up, they didn't go to the hall, and asked the store to send some food to the room.
The two ate some, and Qiu Jue fed the little wolf cub again.
Xiaocao was speechless for a long time, "Niangniang, is it a wolf or not, why does it eat everything?" ”
She is a country girl, and she has also seen wolves, the rumored wolf who only eats meat, and now she follows her mother, not only vegetarian, but also eats?
They wouldn't be mistaken, would they?
As a result, the little wolf cub turned his head directly and showed her white teeth, shiny but very terrifying.
Qiu Jue turned its head over and threw a celery stick into its mouth, "Our Xiaobai is not an ordinary wolf, smart and smart!" ”
Xiaocao felt that this name really didn't match the little wolf cub, although the whole body was snow-white, but it was also a wolf, and it was called 'Xiaobai'?
In her previous life, Qiu Jue was very fond of plush animals, and she always wanted to raise them, and her grandmother gave her a little white after knowing it, which was a Bomei, very cute.
As a result, her mother disliked her for raising pets and affecting her studies, so she sold Xiaobai, and then she didn't raise it even if she liked it anymore.
Now that I see Xiaobai, I feel very gratifying, and Xiaobai relies on her very much.
"You're going to stay here, okay?"
Qiu Jue put it on the neatly laid bed and explained to it.
Xiaobai seemed to be thinking about the truth of her words, and the little paws were nailed to her clothes and did not let go.
Qiu Jue touched its ears and teased it.
Xiaobai is too small, much smaller than the average wolf cub, she can't figure it out, is this just mutated?
Just as she was thinking, the weight on her chest was gone.
Xiaobai turned around, curled up in a ball, covered himself with a sweep of his tail, and began to sleep.
Xiaocao was forcibly left behind by Qiu Jue.
In Youyue Ancient City, no one knew them, Qiu Jue was very relieved, and when she left the inn, she knew where the Huainan Wangfu was located as soon as she inquired casually.
After thinking about the distance, Qiu Jue hired a carriage and stopped on the side for half an hour.
There is a big difference between what you see along the way and when you are in Huai'an City, but the distance of fifty miles, here is peaceful and peaceful, but Huai'an is full of gloom.
Qiu Jue, who had seen the majestic palace and the prosperity of the imperial city, was still shocked when he saw the Huainan Palace.
The dome wall is like a sword, standing in front of it, the handwriting on it is invincible, and there are two unicorns on both sides, both carved by unknown stones, black as ink but lifelike.
The courtyard is lush and lush, planted with a lot of precious flowers and plants, all of which are not high. The door, guarded, through this courtyard, raised to see the gate of the Huainan Palace.
There are five rooms at the door of the house, the roof is covered with green glazed tiles, the roof ridge is a kissing beast, and the door nails on the door are sixty-three with nine rows and seven columns, which is the highest regulation of the entire Celestial Dynasty from the palace.
This is Huainan Palace!
Just look outside, and you know its luxury and wealth.
"Girl, you can't stay here for long, you can go!"
Seeing Qiu Jue get out of the carriage and stay by the side to watch, the coachman kindly reminded him.
After Qiu Jue thanked him, he sat down in the tea stream not far away and asked for a pot of tea.
Someone next to him lamented the dignity of King Huainan, obviously a foreigner.
Some locals ridiculed, "At first glance, you are foreigners, and you don't know anything, but this is the king of Huainan, the uncle of His Majesty the Emperor, and the only prince given by the emperor, can his mansion be bad?" ”
"The tiles on the wall are rare glass!"
"Rare and weird, what is this?" The locals listened to them and proudly explained, "This is just the gate, and it scares you?" If you enter the palace, then you still think you have gone to the fairyland? ”
"Like you've been in?" Some pouted and disagreed.
"I haven't been there, but my cousin has been, and she says it's more luxurious than the palace!"
"Ouch!" Someone said sourly: "It's as if she has been to the palace, you shouldn't say that your cousin is a beauty of King Huainan, right?" ”
Everyone laughed, and the people dared to use the king of Huainan as a tea price, and how could they dare to talk nonsense about other things.
Who thought that the man was anxious, "Why can't I be the brother-in-law of King Huainan?" ”
"Hahaha......"
"I said this little brother, even if your cousin is really the beauty of King Huainan, you can't be called his brother-in-law, right?"
"That's right, who doesn't know that the prince's backyard is more than the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards!"
When the man heard this, he sat back sullenly, and after a while the crowd began to talk about the matter again, and the matter was revealed for the time being.
Qiu Jue thought for a while, found an excuse to sit down, and asked, "This little brother, your cousin is really amazing, he can live in such a beautiful mansion." ”
Her words were full of envy and admiration, which made the young people very useful.
"That is, my cousin is the first beauty in our town, both literary and dancing, and it is natural to be favored by the prince."
"And now that she is pregnant, she will be considered a master in this mansion in the future."
Seeing Qiu Jue listening to him with a smile all the time, it made him extremely proud in his heart, and immediately talked more.
"I heard that the palace is more beautiful, if you can go in and take a turn, it will be worth dying."
Seeing her like this, the young man looked at Qiu Jue with an expression that you are a dirt bun, and said, "The palace is heavily guarded, don't say that you are a big living person who wants to go in and take a turn, even if you are a fly, you don't want to fly in." ”
"Can't even the little brother? You are the prince's brother-in-law. Qiu Jue looked at him with a look of hope.
An embarrassed look appeared on the young man's face for an instant, but in an instant he returned to normal.
"I don't think you're a local, what are you doing here?"
The young man pondered, and thought of his cousin's letter that had asked him to come out a little, and he had an idea in his heart.
Qiu Jue came casually, "My hometown is flooded, my father and mother were drowned, grandpa asked me and my sister to come here to find relatives, who thought that relatives would not live here for a long time, and now that we have returned to our hometown, I wonder if I can find a job here to support my sister." ”
The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, not sad, of course, but a little weak-hearted.
Her father and mother in this life, not to mention her, even the original owner has no impression, and if she wants to be so arranged, she shouldn't settle accounts with her.
"Oh? Do you have a sister? ”
"Yes." Qiu Jue nodded.
"Ahem...... cough lightly" The young man coughed lightly twice, and introduced his surname Yue, the third in the family, just call him Yue Laosan.
Then he asked with some enthusiasm: "Do you particularly want to enter the Huainan Palace?" ”
As soon as Qiu Jue saw that there was a play, he immediately nodded like a chick pecking at millet, and looked at him with a look of hope, "If the little brother can really help me, he will be the benefactor of me and my little sister." ”
"That's nothing, isn't it just going to Huainan Palace? Anyway, my cousin is also the master of the house, and this bit of power is still there. ”
Yue Laosan's cousin is now pregnant and wants to find two reliable maids to serve, but she is not at ease with the people in the house, so she asks Yue Laosan to look for her in the village, saying that the girl in the village is simple and innocent, easy to handle and timid.
Yue Laosan originally thought that he would have to spend money to buy two maids and spend some silver, although his cousin gave money, how could he easily give it out if he got into his hands.
Who would have thought, God is just waiting to see him, and someone will bring him a pillow when he is dozing.
"Will you and your sister do the work?"
