Chapter 051, the palace maid and the eunuch
Lin Xianyu got the best satin, needlework, and embroidery tools from Mama Wulan early in the morning. Today, the sun was very good, so Lin Xianyu sat on the steps under the porch, considered the satin and silk thread, and began to think about how to embroider the puppy.
If you change to another embroiderer, you must stretch the satin on the embroidery, and then embroider a lively puppy on it.
But Lin Xianyu didn't plan to do anything.
I remember that she gave Tana, who was still Lori, a ragdoll puppy, and Tana liked it so much.
Although Tana should not like puppets at her age, Lin Xianyu still conceived the three-dimensional shape of the puppy in his mind, and then began to make patterns, cut and sew......
She asked Mama Ulan for some cotton, and in three days, she sewed out a fat little milk dog.
Looking at the finished product in his hand, Lin Xianyu was excited, I am really a genius!! It was a one-time success! Successfully sewed a cartoon version of a little Pekingese puppy by hand!
Big eyes, round body, fat short limbs, and a half-cut little red tongue, the playful little appearance is really cute!
Lin Xianyu couldn't help but kiss him twice, my mother, I'm really a genius!
Suddenly, a shadow overshadowed him.
Lin Xianyu looked up, wasn't it Tana!
She sweated, and hurriedly wiped the suspicious liquid stained on the little face of the puppet little milk dog, and then respectfully presented it with both hands, "Concubine, this is the puppy you want." ”
Concubine Shuhui looked dignified, let out a faint "um", quickly grabbed the little milk dog with one hand, turned her head and went back to the palace.
Lin Xianyu glanced at the sunset on the horizon, and it was almost time to get off work.
But I saw Mama Wulan walking out with half a plate of osmanthus halva, and said with a straight face: "You have done a good job of needlework, this is the concubine's reward for you." ”
Lin Xianyu's eyes lit up, the osmanthus halva in the Forbidden City, it was really sweet and crispy, and when you bite into it, your mouth is full of sweet osmanthus flowers. She hadn't eaten in a long time.
"Thank you, Princess, for the reward!"
Tana, what an angel you are!
Lin Xianyu hurriedly took out a purse from his sleeve, and quickly stuffed the seven or eight pieces of osmanthus halva on the plate into the purse, "If Mama has no other instructions, I will retreat first." ”
In the evening, the palace masters had dinner, and it was also the time for the palace maids and eunuchs to take over their shifts. At this time, except for a few henchmen on the night shift, the rest can go back to the next person's residence to rest, and come back to serve the next day.
Lin Xianyu and the eunuchs Xiao Hezi and Xiao Ningzi walked back together, these two eunuchs were not very old, they looked like fifteen or sixteen, thin and short, and they were malnourished at a glance. Lin Xianyu was a little unbearable, took out two pieces of osmanthus halva from his purse, and handed them to the two.
Xiao Hezi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Thank you, Sister Wei!" Then, gobbling it up, a piece of osmanthus halva fell into his stomach in an instant.
Xiao Ningzi was a little timid and introverted little eunuch, took the candy and whispered, "Thank you, sister." ”
These little eunuchs are not easy, and their treatment is almost the same as that of a third-class woman. Although Tana is a harmonious master, she will not pay attention to whether these rough little eunuchs can eat enough.
Well, in fact, when she was the concubine of Joan of Arc, she didn't pay much attention to the low-level palace maids and eunuchs.
Xiao Hezi is a sweet little eunuch, and he is also handsome and cute, he smiled sweetly and said: "Sister Wei is not only beautiful, but also a female celebrity, just a few days after coming to the Luan Palace, the concubine rewarded my sister twice!" ”
Lin Xianyu couldn't help but laugh, "I just ate a piece of candy from me, and my mouth is so sweet!" ”
Xiao Hezi smiled and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "I heard that a palace girl like my sister can eat meat every day!" As he spoke, Xiao Hezi couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
The meat in the broken canteen in the palace maid's residence, if you are old and have bad teeth, you can't bite it.
Lin Xianyu sighed, and took out two pieces of candy for Xiao Hezi and Xiao Ningzi, "Be a good errand, and you can eat meat every day in the future." ”
Back at the palace maid's residence, Lin Xianyu's purse was empty, she only ate two pieces for herself, and gave the rest to Xiao Hezi and Xiao Ningzi.
At the beginning of the night, Lin Xianyu was holding a big bowl of rice bowls - half a bowl of Chen Japonica rice, covered with a layer of boiled vegetables that I don't know what kind of vegetables were there, and there were two pieces of fat with white flowers in it, Lin Xianyu lost his appetite when he saw it.
But if you don't eat, you can't do it, and you have to go to work tomorrow. Being a palace maid is physical work.
Lin Xianyu endured and ate half a bowl, and his stomach began to turn over the river and the sea, and Nima added a little salt, and it was the kind of bitter black salt......
At this time, a chubby grandmother strode over, "Wei Xianyu, there is a eunuch named Xiao Hezi looking for you!" ”
The residence of the palace maid and the eunuch is not too far apart, but the rules are that the eunuch is not allowed to enter the palace maid's courtyard, so Lin Xianyu has to go out to see him. Thinking that there was still half an hour before the time to drop the key, he put down his job and quickly went out to see Xiao Hezi.
I saw Xiao Hezi holding a letter in his hand, and he asked in a low voice: "Sister Wei, I thought you were the official eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and you ...... It should be literate, right? My family suddenly sent a letter into the palace, and I don't know whether it was joy or sorrow. ”
It's really unfortunate that Wei Xianyu is very literate.
But looking at Xiao Hezi's pitiful appearance, and thinking that it was not easy to send a letter from home in the palace, he said: "I don't know much, but I can still understand ordinary letters." ”
Xiao Hezi happily presented the letter with both hands: "I'm tired of my sister!" ”
Lin Xianyu took out the letter inside, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not the kind of literary crepe, the whole article was in the vernacular, and there were no rare words, she read it quickly, and then smiled: "Don't worry, the letter says that everything is fine at home, and your brother and sister-in-law have added a son." ”
Xiao Hezi was so happy that he was about to cry, "That's good, that's good!" ”
Lin Xianyu also knew that these eunuchs must have suffered a great disaster at home and couldn't survive anymore, so they castrated themselves into the palace.
After comforting Xiao Hezi a few words, Lin Xianyu returned to the palace maid's "dormitory".
Shuangjin, who lived in the same room, was making the bed, and when he saw Lin Xianyu's face, he couldn't help but look a few shades, and then asked with a smile: "I heard Mama Zhang say that there is a handsome little eunuch looking for you, isn't it your good look?!" ”
Lin Xianyu's face was horribly cold for a moment, "If you can't speak human words, you can shut up and be dumb!" ”
The original owner, Wei Xianyu, is an extremely soft and glutinous character, and she suffers silently when she is squeezed and ridiculed on weekdays, but she Lin Xianyu is not a soft persimmon. The old lady is the master who even the emperor dares to kill! How old are you?!
Lin Xianyu's terrifying face and terrifying tone were so frightened that Shuangjin was speechless for a while.
Shuangjin came back to his senses for a long time, his mouth was full, and he shrunk his neck to Lin Xianyu's cold appearance, and muttered in a low voice: "Being a person in the palace of the concubine, what a big temper ......"
Lin Xianyu snorted coldly: "Since you know that I have a big temper, let me clean my mouth!" ”
Although Shuangjin was not convinced, she couldn't help but be afraid in her heart, she pouted, then turned her head and lay down to sleep.
