Chapter 101: Promise to help Xiaoyu
Suddenly, my heart was sour, Xiaoyu was so pitiful, but what if she didn't accept her fate, she didn't have so much energy, and she couldn't change everything here.
"It's a pity that you don't live in the great era of socialist society, where our destiny does not need to be controlled by others, we can do whatever we want, we can live well, we don't have to listen to anyone's call, and there is no one who is the maid and who is the master. That place is ten million times stronger than here, there is absolute fairness there, I hope you can go there when you are reincarnated! ”
In the Republic of China, it already made me feel that it was very unfair there, and the perennial wars between warlords made the common people unable to even eat hot and full meals. But here, this Qing Dynasty is also full of exploitation, slaves, and injustice.
"Can you do me a favor?"
Xiao Yu longed for what I said, but she seemed to be very confused, and was stunned for a while before she spoke to me.
"Can you help me bring it back to my house? I was buried in my house, behind which was a hill, and when I was a child, I would go to the hill every day to play, and when I was tired of playing, I would sit and rest for a while and watch the sunset. I want to be there to watch the sunrise and sunset in the future. ”
This can be regarded as Xiaoyu's last wish after her death, she really let go, let go of the hatred in her heart, she wants to return to her roots.
I was the only one who could help her, and no one could see her here, except me. So if I don't help her, she won't be able to fulfill this wish, she is pinning all her hopes on me.
I could tell from the look in her eyes that she was waiting for me to promise her, and if I didn't, she would be disappointed.
"How can I get your body?"
"There are two wells in the harem, the bottomless well, one is stacked by the eunuchs after they died, and the other is stacked after the death of the palace maids. My corpse will be put in a jar with sparks and put into the well, and you just have to go and get my ashes out. ”
This story is not funny at all, what is it and what? In that case, I don't know how many ashes are in the well, it must be eerie and terrifying, who knows if it can come out after entering, who knows if there are ghosts in it!
I'm really scared, and listening to it makes people feel chills down my spine and goosebumps all over my body.
"I'm scared!"
I shook my head and looked at Xiaoyu timidly, I was really afraid that she would turn her face when I said this.
"It's really scary there, but only you can help me, if you don't help me, I won't be able to go back home, you will help me, right? Please! ”
Saying that, Xiaoyu knelt down for me directly, things were a little unexpected to me, I thought she would turn her face and deny people, and directly acted rough to me.
"Hurry up, you get up, I never ask others to kneel for me, Aunt Wang has never knelt for me, and you don't have to."
I hurriedly helped Xiaoyu up and asked others to kneel for me, I really can't stand it, what is this doing, capitalism?
"Are you willing to help me?"
Damn, it turns out that this is a set. Forget that it's all like this on TV, if someone begs you, and you go to help someone up, then it's even if you agree to her, this is the rule.
I kind of forgot about this stubble, I was really confused when I was in a hurry, and my brain was not good, this time I put myself in the pit, and this time the pit is not small.
"I'm really scared, but I can't refuse you!"
Since I can't hide, then accept it gladly, although I feel very uncomfortable in my heart and am not willing to help with this, but I still pretend to be righteous and said.
Chairman Mao said it well, our young people should learn from Comrade Lei Feng and learn from his revolutionary spirit of helping others without expecting anything in return.
I also want to be like Comrade Lei Feng with dedication all over my body, but I'm afraid of death, can the dry well be simple? The one who puts the ashes, who knows how dangerous it is inside.
Alas, what a self-inflicted sin that cannot be lived!
"Gege, thank you!"
Although there are not many words, these words can fully express Xiaoyu's gratitude, that heaviness, that most real thanks.
"Don't rush to thank me first, it's not too late to thank me when I'm done."
I waved my hand, I really looked like a chief, I felt a sense of pride in my heart, I really didn't want to help her, I was really sorry not to help, I helped, I was comfortable in my heart, and I forgot all the hardships and dangers ahead.
"My family has been walking east since leaving the palace, and there are no hills in that area, so you can go and see the first hill."
After saying this, Xiao Yu turned around and prepared to leave.
"Gege, you are such a good person, if I can, I will definitely be reincarnated in the place you said."
He turned to me again and said this, and Xiaoyu left.
I don't know if she will go to Shushen for trouble, whether she will wait for the opportunity to clean up Shushen, for me, she has no hatred.
I got up early the next day and was going to go to the dry well to take out Xiaoyu's ashes. Aunt Wang didn't seem to sleep, she got up earlier than me as early as I got up, and as soon as I got out of bed, she would come in with water, as if she was monitoring my every move here.
After washing my face, I still sat in front of the dressing mirror in a regular manner, and Aunt Wang groomed me as usual, first my hair, and after I coiled my hair, I inserted jade glass hairpins, dazzling pearl rings, etc.
All kinds of ornaments are absolutely priceless, and when I wore these jewelry, I suddenly felt that Alexander, I felt that I was a treasure all over my body, and if I lost it, how could I afford it?
"Aunt Wang, you said that you wear so many jewelry for me all day long, hairpins and earrings, and you have to put a few jade bracelets on your hands, so you are not afraid that I will break one and lose one or something, and I can't afford to pay for it?"
I don't know why, I actually asked such a sentence like a second force, and I was instantly confused after asking, this is not rented, what are you afraid of or not?
"Gege, you can really laugh, these jewels were given to you by the Lord and the Queen, and some of them were given by Prince Yi, all of them are your own, what are you afraid of not losing or breaking?"
Aunt Wang smiled, of course she didn't laugh at me for being an idiot, in her eyes, I was still a little girl, she loved me as if she felt sorry for her own daughter, but she didn't dare to say it.
"Aunt Wang, I want to send some to you!"
For me, these things are all virtual, in this Qing Dynasty, because I can't take them away, I found Ba Qing at that time, and after killing her, it was my soul that went back, and it wasn't my whole body that crossed over to the Qing Dynasty, so no matter how precious these things are, they are useless to me.
"Gege, what are you kidding, you can't help it."
"What's wrong? Aunt Wang, do you think I'll laugh at you again? ”
I thought Aunt Wang was giving me a courtesy, and I didn't believe that I would really give her these jewelry.
"Aunt Wang, I really want to send you some jewelry, no joke!"
I looked at Aunt Wang and asked very seriously.
"Gege, do you want your slave to die? The slave and maid were not taken care of properly, and asked Gege to specify and give the slave and maid a chance to change. ”
I was still laughing at my face, but Aunt Wang suddenly knelt on the ground, looking at me, her face was flushed, and beads of sweat were dripping down her face, as if she was really facing death.
"Aunt Wang, what are you talking about? I just really want to give you some gifts, why are you still kneeling on the ground, didn't I say, I don't need other people's bowing, don't I want you to bow? ”
I'm a little embarrassed, what the hell is going on, why did one sentence make Aunt Wang's reaction so big?
I feel like there's something going on here, and it's not that simple.
"Gege, have you forgotten the rules in this palace?"
I helped Aunt Wang up, she still said with some palpitations, and there were beads of sweat on her face.
"Rules? I can't remember! ”
I shook my head, I really didn't know what the rules were, and I was at a loss.
"The system in the palace is so strict, and the use of jewelry is also divided into identities, and the queen's jewelry will be carved with four to phoenixes, symbolizing that the four continents and the world are all ***. The jewelry of the concubines is also different, your identity is different, the jewelry you use is not the same, Gege has been kind, worry-free, and very likable since he was a child, so Long Live Lord likes you very much, so your jewelry is also different from other people, and the above is always magpie. ”
"The jewelry used by our ordinary palace maids is relatively ordinary, but they are all things in the palace, and they must not be taken for themselves without authorization, and they must be handed over on the day they leave the palace, otherwise they will be talked back to, and they will be killed if they are serious. Gege's words just now frightened the slave maid, your status is noble, how can we use your jewelry, if we are discovered, we will be killed. ”
Aunt Wang's words can be regarded as a lesson for me, and popularize some of the systems in the court of the Qing Dynasty. Listening to her words, I also picked up the jewelry in front of me to see if what she said was true.
Sure enough, every piece of jewelry has a tiny magpie on it, whether it's a bracelet, earrings or hairpin. It's like a unique brand feature.
I thought I could take all these things with me, especially these palace maids. Of course, I'm different, didn't Aunt Wang say it, these jewelry were given by Yinzhen and the queen. and that Prince Yi, that is, the biological father of Heshuo and Hui.
So I can use these jewelry in front of me as much as I want, but Aunt Wang can't use them, just because of an identity problem, it is enough to kill.
However, such a system also has an advantage, that is, the jewelry will not be lost, if someone stole it, it is easy to find out, compared to this system in the formulation of such a role, not just pointing to the unique person's jewelry.
