Chapter 8: The Life of Firewood, Rice, Oil and Salt
Until now, Guan Muxi didn't know that he really didn't know anything, and he felt ridiculous when he thought about it, he used to open his mouth for food and stretch out his hand for clothes, but now he is penniless and talented, except for leading soldiers to kill people. Now she doesn't know what to do to earn a few copper plates to eat, and she can't sleep on the tree to occasionally hunt a hare to eat, or catch a cicada or something like that, and chew it in her mouth, she's too shabby. Guan Muxi was wandering around the street, her eyebrows and beautiful eyes would be met with a few colorful Mimi eyes from time to time, she didn't care, she kept thinking about what to do to make better money.
"Guan Muxi" Suddenly, a familiar ethereal and crisp female voice came into her ears, and when she searched for the sound, she saw a delicate figure in pink clothes in front of her, and she met this little girl again in a few days. Jing Ji shook the arm of the man next to him excitedly, and the man's eyes were full of doting.
"Brother Huang, that's the girl I told you to save me, Guan Muxi." Then, she pulled her imperial brother and walked towards Guan Muxi.
Guan Muxi smiled at the corner of her eyes when she saw her, and swept away the coldness on her face, "Princess, meet again." ”
"Mu Xi, this is my third emperor brother." Jing Qi introduced, at this time she seriously noticed that the face of the person beside her was gentle, and his demeanor revealed the atmosphere of aristocracy, Guan Muxi only felt that he was like a dusty son, just came to visit this world, and the paradise was his real world. Guan Muxi officially said: "Hello" Seeing him Weizheng, he realized that there was something wrong with his greeting method, and he should salute. Just as I was thinking about it, I heard him reply to her: "Hello." His words flowed like a hot spring, and that reply made Guan Muxi forget to react for a while, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she kept staring at him as if she wanted to see him out of a hole. How much is this voice like him, as gentle as Feng Ruqing, how long has it been since I heard a gentle male voice that stopped water in my ears, and I didn't know how to react for a while. Jing Qianhong didn't expect her to look at him so nakedly, and whispered with a little embarrassment: "Miss Guan." ”
Then he came back to his senses with a hint of shame: "I'm sorry, it's just that the voice of the third prince is very similar to an old friend of mine, and it can't be slowed down." Jing Qianhong smiled, "It's okay." ”
At this time, Jing Qi stepped forward and asked her, "Are you free?" You didn't tell me where you lived last time you left so fast, so today you might as well let me and the imperial brother invite you to dinner to express your gratitude for saving me. Guan Muxi wanted to refuse, why did she have to go to eat before she could find a job to earn money.
"No need, I still have something to do" She wanted to leave, but Jing didn't allow it, and in the end, Jing Qianhong stood up and stopped her
"The girl agreed, and she became the ninth sister's wish." After some struggle, Guan Muxi had no choice but to follow them to the restaurant.
This restaurant is said to be the best restaurant in Beijing, and dignitaries and dignitaries love to drink and socialize here. Xiao Er brought a pot of good old wine, Guan Muxi just wanted to taste it, as soon as the wine touched her lips, there was a burning sensation immediately, and she almost wanted to change her lips. Looking at her aggrieved appearance, Jing Qianhong couldn't help laughing, it was really funny.
"This liquor is the wine that this king often orders for entertainment, and today's little two may think that this king is here to entertain so he has the wrong wine."
"The spirits I used to drink were all aftertastes after entering the stomach, but today this wine caught me off guard, and I lost my laughter!" The corners of Guan Muxi's mouth hooked up a smile, and there was a sense of mocking his stupidity. Jing Qi suddenly became interested when she heard Guan Muxi say this: "Muxi, you also drink spirits?" My brother and my father and queen mother did not allow me to drink, but I drank a small glass of fruit wine to taste it during the New Year's holidays. ”
"It's right for little girls not to drink." She responded, how can people like them who are mixed in the officialdom inside and outside, when they drink wine, they will directly pour boiled water into their stomachs! Jing Qi pursed his lips a little displeased, "Mu Xi, you can't be a few years older than me." ”
Guan Muxi smiled, how much older than this little girl? Where did you see it, or was she really that young? "I'm 23 years old this year." As soon as these words came out, not only Jing Qi, but even Jing Qianhong on the side was shocked, he always thought that she was only seventeen or eighteen this year.
"Where's the girl?" I don't know which son-in-law has the blessing to marry such a clean and dusty woman.
Guan Muxi never thought that one day she would be at home with her husband and children, she was used to fighting, killing and killing, and with so much blood on her hands, how could she be qualified to be a wife and a mother. "I haven't found a man to whom I can make a personal promise."
"Mu Xi, what do you think of my Third Emperor Brother? The third emperor brother is twenty-two this year, although he is one year younger, he is always a good man. Jing Qi suddenly introduced Jing Qianhong like this, which made the two of them suddenly a little embarrassed and caught off guard, Guan Muxi was so bad that it was nothing but a joke, but Jing Qianhong's face was ruddy. Don't mess around. ”
"Brother Huang, I'm not messing around. This time I'm serious. Jing Qi's serious appearance gave Guan Muxi a headache, this little girl really wanted to play one at a time, and she couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
She was eating the meal she had just eaten, huh! This taste is much more delicious than what she ate a few days ago, it seems that she still has to find a lucrative job, she can't be a wild man and keep messing around, it's a big deal to do her old job, and it's more profitable!
"Where does Miss Guan live? This king has no other meaning, that is, it is not safe for the girl's family to be out alone, so it is more reassuring to send you back. Jing Qianhong said softly, he didn't speak as casually as he dreamed of sleeping, there seemed to be a membrane between them, and no one wanted to break it.
"No need, I still have something to do after eating, so don't go home yet."
"In that case, then the king won't say anything more!"
After finishing the meal, Guan Muxi left the restaurant. When she entered a clothing store, the shopkeeper greeted her with a smile and asked, "What kind of clothes does the girl want to choose?" ”
"I'm not here to buy clothes." She said directly: "Do you lack a part-time job?" You can get paid as much as you want, but you just want to eat. The shopkeeper saw that her eyebrows were clear, and there was an air of elegance between her talking and laughing manners, and she didn't look like an ordinary girl at all.
"The girl knows how to make clothes?"
"No, it won't."
"What about receiving guests? Can you do it? ”
"Haven't done it"
"So what are you going to do? Laundry and cooking? ”
"I ,,,," she couldn't answer for a while, she really hadn't done anything, let alone laundry and cooking, she hadn't even entered the kitchen! "I can learn slowly."
"Girl, let's go look elsewhere." After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper stopped paying attention to her, and Guan Muxi had to leave to change stores, but the headache was the same problem, as if she was only worthy of cooking in the back kitchen, but she wouldn't. Speechless and ask God, God you should take me, I'm useless now! This damn firewood, rice, oil, and salt live.
Guan Muxi was in a low mood, as if the geese with nowhere to go were swaying on the street, and seeing that there was a group of people around there talking about it, Guan Muxi had no intention of finding that he was already wandering, so it was better to go and see. So she squeezed into the crowd and saw a royal list. The royal family wants to find a teacher who is rich and rich to teach the prince, princess and noble children in the palace academy! If you choose to eat and live, you will also have money to get every month. Such a good thing, Guan Muxi was entangled for a while. In terms of knowledge, although she is a person who does not like to study, but she also took a master's degree, after all, when she was a child, her academic performance was good, and she jumped relatively high, and teaching such a group of children should be easier than cooking on a fire! But she... Does this count as a violation of the original intention? It's just that she just goes to work to earn money, and she just teaches and educates people, and has nothing to do with entering the regime. After Guan Muxi made a plan in her heart, she decided to go to the palace to try it the day after tomorrow! What she didn't know was that this was a selection process and a lot of content instead of simply answering a few teaching questions. If she knew this, she would not be able to beat her to death!
