Chapter 704 What is Xiaocai?
The emperor is diligent, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is also in court, but on this day, he is somewhat absent-minded, he took a nap in the afternoon, and asked someone to take Mo Ronglin over, and the father and son played puzzles together, although Mo Ronglin still refused to speak, but he was also becoming more and more lively, compared with before, the big dark eyes were like re-painted, black and bright, inlaid on the white and fat face, blinking, how cute it was.
He giggles when he is happy, has a straight face when he is angry, frowns when he thinks, and puts big characters on the bed when he sleeps, the emperor thinks that he just looks like himself, and his personality follows Bai Qianfan, and his every move is more and more like his mother.
He also knew that Murong Lin could return to normal, and Xiu Yuanshuang had the greatest credit, and he knew what Xiu Yuanshuang wanted, but he couldn't give her anything but rewards.
——
Although she didn't come for a few years, Bai Qianfan still easily found her nurse's grave, the grass in front of the grave was not very deep, the tomb of Heiyan, the mud and gold calligraphy, was still so magnificent, before she could speak, her eyes were swollen, and a bubble of tears that had been stored for a long time fell like rain, and she cried when she threw herself in front of the grave.
"Nurse, Qianfan has come to see you, Qianfan is not filial, in the past few years, in a foreign land, I have lived a mess, I don't even know who I am, and I didn't come to see you during the New Year's holidays...... Nurse, Qianfan is useless, I lost my husband, and I lost my son, and I am left alone again...... Woowoo......
Nurse, I found my own mother, she is the emperor of Nanyuan, she trapped me in Nanyuan, and didn't let me come back, I don't know what she wants to do, everyone says she has a hard time, but her hard work just makes me unhappy? She left me at the beginning, I don't blame her, you grew up with me, you are my mother, but now she has found me, but she wants to destroy my happiness, nurse, I don't want to hate her, but ...... To be honest, she ruined my life and a lot of things could have been salvaged if I had come back sooner......"
It is very strange that in front of her mother, she doesn't want to say a word of superfluity, but in front of the nurse's grave, she can happily confide in her heart, and spit out all the pain and grievances for so long.
The mountain wind passed through the forest, it seemed that the nurse was responding to her, Bai Qianfan cried enough, slowly calmed down, put on the tribute fruit snacks, inserted white candles, lit slender incense, respectfully worshiped three times, inserted the incense in front of the tomb, and then sat on the ground to burn paper money.
She wiped her eyes and muttered to herself, "Nanny, maybe this is the will of God, my life should be like this, no one blames me, you said, there are gains and losses, the more you gain, the more you lose, I once got the best in the world, but now I have lost everything." Nurse, I'm not greedy, I just need to go back to Lin'er, our mother and son depend on each other, I don't want to lose the child, and I don't want him to become a child without a mother......"
After burning the paper money, she tore off the weeds around the grave, and wiped the tombstone up and down with a handkerchief, the black rock was translucent, and the words painted with gold shone in the sun, she looked at the line of words, and the honest and simple woman appeared in front of her, and couldn't help but sour her nose, but she couldn't cry, crying too much, the nurse looked sad, she took a deep breath, forced the tears back, pulled her sleeves and wiped her face clean, "Nurse, you rest well, I will come to see you again." ”
Respectfully bowed three more times, and walked away without looking back.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, every family is busy with reunions, even the teahouse and restaurant are much deserted, Bai Qianfan put his hand in his sleeve, went into the teahouse and turned, Xiao Er saw her, and immediately greeted with a smile, "Yo, Master Qian, why are you here at this time?" If you want to drink tea early, a small shop will close early today. ”
"I know," Bai Qianfan responded to him in a thick voice, "Come to the pot of white jasmine, and leave after you finish drinking." ”
"Derre!" Xiao Er raised his voice and shouted: "A pot of white jasmine in the elegant seat!" ”
Soon, the tea was delivered, and two tea snacks were delivered, there was no one in the store, Xiao Er made tea for her while doing homework, "Master Qian, aren't you going home for dinner today?" ”
Bai Qianfan said, "I am full of food alone, and the whole family is not hungry." At the meeting, the sauce shop weighed two catties of beef, put a pot of wine, and it was all ready. ”
Xiao Er said, "Yo, then you have to hurry up, at least half of the shops in the city have to close early." ”
She poked her head and said, "Hey, didn't Fat Song come today?" ”
Xiao Er asked, "Do you have something to do with him?" ”
"He promised me to find a job to do, I don't know if it happened?"
Xiao Er leaned over and lowered his voice, "Did he promise to give you an errand at the palace gate?" ”
Bai Qianfan said strangely: "How do you know? Did he tell you? ”
"Oh, you didn't know when you first came, he was a bastard, there was a relative who couldn't beat the eight poles as a guard in the palace, and he bragged when he met people outside that he could do errands for others, didn't he care if you asked for money?"
"Yes, I haven't given it yet."
"Yo, don't give it, it's a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return."
Bai Qianfan had a bitter face, "Then my errand is yellow, and I still want to enter the palace and eat fragrant and drink spicy food." ”
"Why do you have to enter the palace," Xiao Er said, "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and now we are not good at stubble." ”
"I won't go to the emperor again, and I can't pestle at the palace gate?"
Xiao Er came over a little more, "If you have to enter the palace, it's not impossible, go to the factory in Xihuamen, it's probably no problem." ”
Bai Qianfan pushed him hard, "you, you are a eunuch, and your whole family will be a eunuch!" ”
Xiao Er grinned, "Little kidding, don't worry about Master Qian!" ”
Bai Qianfan rolled his eyes, drank tea by himself and ignored him, Xiao Er was also bored, so he didn't leave, and said, "If you are a girl, there is a way to enter the palace." ”
Bai Qianfan's eyes squinted: "What method?" ”
"Recently, in Xiaocai, you don't know, many people are sad about this."
"What's Xiaocai?"
"Dacai is to go in to be the palace concubine, Xiaocai is to go in as a palace maid, the palace maid is much more bitter than the mother, to the inside and divided into three, six, nine and so on, the child is not good, you can't get out when you go in, every year the corpse of the sinking well, I don't know how many, many people go to the moat to find their own girl, look for luck, and the one who can't find it is washed away. Even if you can survive it, you can't be released until you are twenty-five years old, and you will become an old girl, and your life will be over. ”
Bai Qianfan went to the teahouse every day, just to inquire about the news, and now she really asked her to inquire.
She nodded and said, "Yes, as long as you can eat, who wants to enter the palace, won't a good girl be delayed?" ”
"It's not, some people just think of a rut, spend a few dollars, buy a poor girl and send it to the palace, and it's over."
Bai Qianfan was taken aback, "That's not an impostor, what if someone finds out?" ”
"The last palace maid, whoever is full has nothing to do, check this! Besides, there are a lot of them, can you find out, and if you go in, you will do rough work, and you will not be arranged to serve in front of the master. ”
When Bai Qianfan heard this, this was the best, he didn't have to deal with the nobles, and he was not afraid of being recognized, so he went in quietly, and ran away after stealing Mo Ronglin.
