Chapter 304: Being a Palace Man (1)
Ye Mengmeng couldn't help but laugh, tilted her head and smiled: "Okay, okay, I didn't say anything, I see that you are in a hurry."
Her pretty face looked even brighter in the sunlight, Sun Zhuzi's heart thumped, his face turned even redder, and he turned around and said roughly: "I ...... I'll take good care of it, and I'll be on the road in the afternoon. ”
Although Sun Zhuzi was honest, his hands and feet were quite nimble, and after a while, he cleaned up the donkey cart, and the mattress for the cart was replaced by a half-old cotton mattress from hay.
Ye Mengmeng's heart was moved, knowing that their family was poor, and this piece of old cotton mattress may be the best cotton mattress in the family.
In order to avoid people's eyes, Ye Mengmeng borrowed a gown from Sun Zhuzi and put it on, dressed up as a descendant. Then the two said goodbye to the second elder and got on the donkey cart and hit the road.
Along the way, the wind and sun were beautiful, the sun was shining, and although the donkey cart was relatively slow, it was relatively stable.
Ye Mengmeng was in a better mood, and chatted with Sun Zhuzi without a match.
Sun Zhuzi is not good at talking, he can't say two out of ten sentences, most of the time Ye Mengmeng is chattering.
She is from modern times, and her original identity is Miss Gonghou, and her knowledge is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary country women, plus she can speak witty words and tell all kinds of interesting things eloquently, Sun Zhuzi is fascinated by it.
The donkey cart ran slowly, although slowly, but hurried slowly, or rushed to the capital before the city gate closed at sunset.
Looking at the navy blue tall and majestic city wall, Ye Mengmeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She jumped off the donkey cart, pulled Sun Zhuzi, looked left and right at no one, took out a handful of broken silver from her pocket, stuffed it in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhuzi, thank you for sending me to the capital, this is a little bit of my heart, please accept it."
Zhu Zi looked at the pile of broken silver in his hand, looked dumbfounded, rubbed his eyes, and hesitated: "This is ...... Silver? In his memory, it seems that there was never silver at home, and he only saw others use it when he was in the market.
"That's right, you can renovate the house with the silver, buy some furniture or something, and live a good life." Ye Mengmeng thought about it and smiled, "By the way, you can also marry a daughter-in-law." ”
This pile of broken silver is dozens of taels at all, which is a huge amount of money in the poor countryside.
Sun Zhuzi's face turned red, and he was at a loss for a moment holding the silver. He was not good at words, and he didn't know how to thank him, so he had to stand stupidly.
Ye Mengmeng looked around and said, "Okay, put the silver away, it's not good for others to see it." Looking up at the city gate, "Brother Zhuzi, I'm going to enter the city." Why don't you go into the city for one night and go back tomorrow? ”
Sun Zhuzi shook his head and said, "No, I still have to rush back."
"Alright, I'll go in first, you have to be careful on the way back."
Ye Mengmeng waved goodbye to the pillar and followed a caravan into the city.
Sun Zhuzi stood at the city gate until he could no longer see her shadow, and then drove the donkey back in amazement.
Let's say that Ye Mengmeng entered the city in the caravan, and seeing that it was getting late, she had to come to a small inn near the city gate, asked for a guest room, and decided to stay for one night first, and get up early tomorrow to make plans.
Nothing was said all night.
On the second day, she got up early in the morning, and after washing, she settled the bill, came to the street, looked at the direction, and walked towards the Jinyang Marquis Mansion.
The Marquis of Jinyang's mansion was about to pass by the palace, and outside the west city gate, he saw that there were many people surrounding the place where the notice was posted on the outer wall of the palace.
She was also a little curious, and walked over to squeeze into the crowd to take a look, and it turned out that there was indeed a notice posted on the wall, indicating that a group of palace people were recruited, that is, eunuchs.
There were also several palace people standing there waiting for someone to apply.
She shrugged and turned to leave.
At that moment, a splendid carriage drove out of the city gates. Coincidentally, at this time, someone in the carriage gently lifted the curtain, revealing a beautiful face. The owner of that face had glanced at it casually, but unexpectedly, a young man in a patched shirt caught her attention.
Just then, the boy turned around. The man in the carriage was startled at the sight of his face, and his whole body almost froze.
After staying for a moment, she decisively ordered: "Stop!"
The carriage came to a halt with a "creak".
Ye Mengmeng here was about to leave, and suddenly someone over there shouted: "Hey, then stand still."
She was originally a woman, and she was not really an afterlife, so she didn't expect to be calling her until someone came over and patted her on the shoulder.
"Hey, I'm looking for you."
She looked back in surprise, "What for?" ”
At this time, a chubby middle-aged eunuch walked over, looking Ye Mengmeng up and down, a little surprised, this later life was born with clear eyebrows and delicate skin, tender meat, not like a poor boy at all.
"Does the little brother want to enter the palace?"
Ye Mengmeng was taken aback, subconsciously took a step back, and asked cautiously, "Who said I wanted to enter the palace?"
"I don't want to enter the palace, what notice are you coming to see?" The eunuch said with a smile, his expression was very kind.
Ye Mengmeng glanced at him and said, "I think it's lively, okay?"
The eunuch smiled and said: "Little brother, let's guess your family must be very difficult, after entering the palace, you can have two taels of silver a month, what's the matter, do you think about it?"
"I ......"
As soon as Ye Mengmeng said the word "I", the eunuch glanced at the two little eunuchs next to him and said, "You said you were willing?" That's great. Come here, both of you, and take her in, and remember to be quicker when you cleanse yourself. ”
Ye Mengmeng: ......
Wow, this is to force her to be a eunuch?
Just as she was about to open her mouth to shout, the two sixteen or seventeen little eunuchs had already hurried over, clamped her under the armpit, and pushed her into the city gate.
Ye Mengmeng was anxious and struggled desperately: "Hey, you guys are mistaken, I'm not a ...... at all"
When several little eunuchs saw her croaking, they pulled a handkerchief from their waists, sprayed a little unknown object on it, and then covered the handkerchief towards Ye Mengmeng's mouth.
Ye Mengmeng suddenly became honest, rolled her eyes, and paused.
The two little eunuchs couldn't help but say, and when they came up, they wanted to pick up their trousers.
At this time, a man came to the door, stopped them, and then whispered a few words. The two little eunuchs were stunned, and then let go of their hands.
I don't know how long it took, Ye Mengmeng slowly woke up and opened her eyes. After being confused for a while, she suddenly remembered what had just happened, hurriedly turned over and sat up, looking at the eunuch suit on her body, she was dumbfounded.
Damn, has she really become a eunuch?
However, she is not a man, isn't she exposed as soon as she cleanses herself?
She moved, not noticing anything, and put a little bit of worry in her heart. However, my heart was full of doubts. These people obviously know that she is a woman, and they let her into the palace to be a eunuch, what is the purpose?
