Chapter 4: Looking for Death
Pei Shaofen turned her head slowly, her pretty and beautiful face was a little flushed, she wiped her hands on her skirt, and walked over hesitantly.
"Lord Shanggong wants me to pick a deputy and help me on the council, how about you to be this deputy?" Asked calmly and straight to the point.
"Me?" Pei Shaofen pointed to his nose and took a step back with an incredulous expression.
"You have always been upright, when Mama Xu is here, as long as the distribution is unfair, others will swallow their anger, only you are not afraid of power, but also fight against her, calmly admire your courage, so in the future, the distribution of manpower will be done by you, how about it?"
Calmly combing the barbs on his fingers, he said slowly.
"I will do what I do, and I will never be as unfair as her." This sentence aroused Pei Shaofen's pride, and he instantly agreed.
When the calm palace maids heard the words, they scattered with a bang, and they were busy with their own work.
Pei Shaofen is really fair.
She washes the dirtiest list by herself, and she gives herself the most clothes.
The few people who wanted to find her stubble and watched her jokes couldn't find anything wrong, so they had to stop and get angry secretly.
The new palace maids, Pei Shaofen did not assign them work, only let Shi Gonggong take them around in the Huanyi Bureau, familiarize themselves with the environment, understand the situation, if not, find someone to leave quickly, and those who can die quickly die, save because they are not adaptable, and there will be accidents in the future, and the sisters will not end well.
Several palace maids were choked to death by her words, and they didn't dare to cry, so they followed Grandpa Shi obediently in circles.
Squat down calmly and wash the list with her.
Pei Shaofen refused to let her do it, and sneered: "You are in charge now, just sit and watch us wash, if you help me today, they still have to hate me to death?" It's hard to say whether I'll live until tomorrow morning. ”
The hand that calmly reached into the water was lifted out again.
She had a point.
Calmly sighed, he retreated to sit on a stool under the shade of the tree.
Suddenly taking a break from the busyness is not very pleasant.
In the past, when I saw Mama Xu sitting here and eating tea leisurely, I always envied when I could be so leisurely.
But when she really sat here and had nothing to do, her heart was empty again.
Compared with these palace maids who bowed their heads and sweated back, her leisure made her feel a lot of inexplicable guilt for no reason.
Calm suddenly felt that he might not know how to be a competent boss.
Yuwan, who was in the water before the well platform, suddenly screamed, and the whole person leaned towards the wellhead.
A servant girl behind her grabbed her by the hem of her dress and dragged her back.
Seeing this scene, he let out a cold sweat and calmed down, rushed over, and roared Yuwan: "Don't die!" ”
"The cold pipe, the window, the curtain fell into the well." Yu Wan said with red eyes.
Several handmaidens around stopped what they were doing, and looked at Calm together, waiting for her to deal with this matter.
Yuwan was her friend, and they had been eating, lodging and working together until she became a steward.
If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public in the future.
Calmly picked up on the edge of the well, and looked down, in the black well water, there was a piece of white silk floating.
"Whose is this?" Calmly asked Yuwan, who was kneeling on the ground and shedding tears.
"The cold steward is from Renshou Palace." Behind her, a petite palace maid with high eyebrows rushed to reply.
"Yuwan, you are really, you never cause trouble, if you do, it will be a big disaster." Pei Shaofen walked over and said with a cold face.
"Cold, Sister Pei, save the slave and maid, the slave and maid don't want to die, the slave and maid will be able to go home after two more years, please save me."
Yuwan cried and kowtowed.
Calmly pulled her up and comforted: "It doesn't matter, it's not lost, you wait, I'll just get it up with a rocking oar." ”
Saying that, called Pei Shaofen to come, the two of them shook the swaying oar, and slowly approached the clothes, the mouth of the well was not big, the wooden barrel went down, almost occupying the entire well surface, and it took a lot of effort to sink the bucket to the surface of the water, and then hung the silk on the handle of the bucket.
"Alright, shake it up and you're done." Pei Shaofen wiped the sweat from his face and smiled calmly.
The barrel was shaken up, and when he saw the silk silk, his calm heart suddenly cooled in half.
The curtains were torn by the stones along the edge of the well, and several threads were drawn, and they could no longer be repaired.
"Calm down, God bless you and me, this is nothing to do." Pei Shaofen sighed and instructed the palace maid behind her to pull Yuwan to the side and kneel, and she was not allowed to eat for a day.
Calm and always expressionless, but there was a quiet smile on his face: "Since God doesn't bless you and me, let me encounter such a thing as soon as I take office, why be angry with others and spare her, it's tiring enough to do laundry all day, why suffer such a crime again?" ”
"No! You let her go today, Ming'er made a mistake and couldn't let her go? If this continues, can the Huanyi Bureau still have rules? Pei Shaofen said in a loud voice.
"The days have been so hard, what big mistakes can I make, as long as I am still in any day, no one in the Huanyi Bureau will make mistakes, if there is a mistake, it is all my fault, I will bear it alone."
Calmly picked up the curtain, put it in a wooden basin to rinse off the stains on it, and hung it on the clothesline, everyone was still shocked by what she had just said, and did not come back to their senses.
"What should I do, I will personally deliver this curtain, and I will bear the sin alone.
Yuwan, you don't have to kneel, there is still a pile of sheets waiting to be washed in the basin. ”
Calmly passed by Yuwan's side, pulled her up, and said in her usual hoarse voice.
Yuwan nodded with tears in her eyes, ran over, and continued to wash the sheets.
Everyone just woke up from a dream, working separately, but no one talked about it anymore, only silently washed the clothes in their hands, and in a huge courtyard, only the sound of water and washing clothes was heard.
Father-in-law Shi, who led the new palace maids around the circle, turned back.
A few palace maids behind him were red-eyed and swollen with faces, and came to salute to see calm.
"Let's rest, and I'll officially work tomorrow." Calmly waved at them.
Everyone hung their heads and walked to the dormitory.
The palace maid who grew up at the end of the walk actually limped, as if she had a leg injury.
Calmly stop her.
The palace maid turned back and saluted her again: "The slave maid stopped, and I have seen the cold steward." ”
"What's wrong with your leg? Wounded before coming? Calmly asked her.
Stop shedding tears, shaking his head, and not saying a word.
"Come with me, I have bone-setting wine in my room, give you a touch, it's okay quickly." Calmly got up and pulled her into the room, helped her to a chair and sat down, intending to find a bone-setting wine.
Mama Xu had bone-setting wine in her cabinet, and she had seen it several times.
She didn't find out the bone, but she cried more and more sadly.
"Pei Shaofen said just now, since it has come to this point, there is no need to be like this, someone hurried to find someone, and he was released after two years."
Calmly rummaging through the contents of the cupboard, he persuaded her.
"Back to the cold steward, the slave's leg was not injured, it was stabbed into two embroidery needles, so I didn't dare to walk."
Stop choking.
As soon as she found the calmness of the bone-setting wine, her heart tightened, her hands trembled, the wine bottle fell to the ground, and her body was shattered with a "bang", and the black wine splashed her face.
"Thank you for the care of the cold steward, the slave and maid have taken their leave." Stop, get up, and go out.
Calmly stop her.
——---------------------
Pei Shaofen looked at the closed door and sighed in her heart.
She entered the Huanyi Bureau with Calm.
They were no more than ten years old.
Calm wasn't like that before.
In the past, she was cowardly and incompetent, submissive, and useless.
The current calmness makes her admire, but it worries her even more.
In this kind of place, having a good heart is a kind of original sin.
No one will appreciate you for your kindness, they will only bully you doubly because of your kindness.
This is a place where people are good at being bullied and horses are good at being ridden!
She has been here for three years, how could she not know this, and she said such things in front of everyone just now.
It seems that she can't be in charge for a few days, but what she has to pay for in the next few days is afraid that it will be her net worth!
In Pei Shaofen's sympathetic gaze, the little palace maid who went in with Calm pushed the door and walked out.
The legs, which were originally limping, seemed to be neater, and walked over to this side with brisk steps, seeing that Pei Shaofen had been staring at her, he smiled happily, gave a slight salute, and passed by her.
Calm then walked out, stood on the steps, looked at the sun, yawned, stretched out his hand and called Shi Gonggong to go, and felt some broken silver from his sleeve, I don't know what to say to him.
Shi Gonggong's wrinkled face showed a surprised smile, nodded constantly, took the silver, and walked towards the palace gate.
Pei Shaofen, who finished drying her clothes, came over and stood opposite her, staring at her face.
"Tired? When you're tired, take a break, you don't have to allocate so much to yourself tomorrow, leave some, I'll wash. He said calmly and slowly.
"Do you know that you're going to kill yourself like this! What is needed here is not kindness, but order! What is the use of having a good heart alone? If my father and mother hadn't taken in that father and son because of kindness, how could they end up with a couple of nine clans and a female dependant who bought them as maids! Pei Shaofen shouted angrily.
"Shaofen, don't be impatient, your experience and my experience do not represent all things in the whole world, order is important, and people's hearts are not important? Since we want to live in a world without order, then we should be more kind and make ourselves better. ”
Calmly sighed.
"Calm down, you are wrong, kindness is not worth much here, your so-called kindness and suffering for others is just to let yourself die."
"Maybe not, I believe that there are still many good people in this world, we didn't deliberately wash the curtains, believe that I went to Renshou Hall to explain the reason to the Queen Mother and her old man, she will definitely spare us."
Don't forget, the Queen Mother has always been known for her kindness and kindness, and everyone loves her. He said calmly and confidently.
Pei Shaofen was about to speak, but he heard the eunuch shouting softly outside: "Is there a living person, come out and bring clothes." ”
