Chapter 63: White Jade Earrings
Lotus Ye wiped her tears with her sleeve, not only was she not afraid, but she smiled, "The slave is not afraid, the slave didn't want to get out alive when she entered the palace." Now the days in the Yilan Hall are the best days in the slave's life, and these are all given by the beauty, and the slave's life is naturally also a beauty. ”
Lingxi looked at the lotus leaf kneeling at his feet, and hesitated for a long time in his heart. Do you want to trust her, what if she is a spy sent by someone else, and now she is just acting to win her trust? But looking at Lotus Ye's sincere eyes, Lingxi didn't feel like she was lying.
Lingxi closed her eyes and thought about it for a long time, and finally she decided to believe in the lotus leaf. It was also the decision made by Lingxi at this moment that added a right-hand arm to herself.
Lingxi stood up, stood in front of the lotus leaf and asked seriously, "If I don't kill you, can you make me trust you?" ”
Lotus Ye was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed three more times on the ground, and said sincerely, "The slave is stupid, but if the beauty lets the slave and the maid go west, the slave and the maid will definitely not go east." The beauty asked the slave maid to serve tea, and the slave maid would not serve pastries......"
"What if I let you kill someone?"
Lotus Ye trembled in fright, and then a trace of perseverance appeared in her panicked eyes, and she nodded, "Even if the slave maid takes a life, she will never let that person appear in front of the beauty again." ”
Although Lotus Ye's words were stupid, Lingxi was still satisfied. Lingxi showed a smile on his face, helped the lotus leaf up from the ground, and said, "From today onwards, you will be my confidant, and when you reach the age when you leave the palace, you will definitely not be able to lose it." ”
Lotus Ye looked at Lingxi gratefully and said, "The slave maid follows the beauty for a lifetime, and the slave maid does not leave the palace." ”
Lingxi nodded the tip of the lotus leaf's nose and said with a smile, "Just talk nonsense in plain language, go out of the palace to find a good family to marry, and live a stable life is the right thing." ”
The lotus leaf's body shook, and tears flowed down again.
How can the days outside be as good as the warbler beauty said?
In the year of the great flood, plague was rampant, and in the year of the great drought, the roadside was full of bones of starvation. Even if it is a good year, it will be oppressed by the rich of the officials. In Lotus Ye's opinion, although this palace is a place to eat people, it is many times stronger than the outside, at least people like her can have a full mouth.
Before Lingxi entered the palace, although Ye Zhiyuan was a servant of the uncle's mansion, his family was not bad, and besides, Ye's family was in the capital, she naturally didn't know what it was like outside the capital, she just thought that everywhere was red and willow green, and everyone was well-dressed and well-fed.
Lingxi thought that the lotus leaf was moved to cry, and said with a warm smile, "Okay, don't cry your nose, quickly go and wash the little flower's face." I have something to ask you......"
Lotus Ye obediently wiped her tears with her sleeve, and suddenly said, "Beauty, if you believe me, then you must be able to believe him." I was sold to the palace with him, and I have suffered from the snacks......"
Lingxi was stunned and asked, "Who?" ”
"Little Dezi." Lotus Ye wiped his face indiscriminately and said, "Xiao Dezi was sold into the palace with the slave maid, and the slave maid became a palace maid and he became a eunuch." That man's teeth were sold into the palace for a total of more than a dozen children, and the last ones who survived were slaves, Xiao Dezi, and a man named Pei'er. ”
Lingxi raised her eyebrows, how could she be so coincidental and send these two people to her temple?
Lotus Ye glanced at Lingxi's face, knew what Lingxi was thinking, lowered his head and said sullenly, "The slave maid and Xiao Dezi were both children of poor families when they were outside the palace, and Renyazi would never teach the slaves and maids to learn words and rules. Just because he looked a little clever and was selected to be trained in the internal waiting bureau, but he was still the stupidest in the internal waiting bureau...... At that time, the beauty was sick, so, so ......"
Lingxi understood that the Inner Servant Bureau had sent her the most unuseful slave to be an errand herself.
"The slave maid also arrived at the Yilan Hall to know that Xiao Dezi was also divided," Lotus Ye's voice became smaller and smaller, after all, no master likes stupid slaves.
Lingxi understood it, and many doubts were solved in his heart. The lotus leaf in front of him is somewhat credible, as for the little dezi, I have to look at it again. So he sent Lotus Leaf out to wash his face, and called Xiao Dezi in by the way.
Lotus Ye nodded, and happily ran out as she spoke, "The slave let him in, the slave just talked to the beauty and was afraid that others would get close, so he let him guard at the door of the study." ”
Lingxi nodded secretly, although this lotus leaf is stupid in his mouth, he has a very good idea in his heart. This is a rare good minion, the kind of fool who only pays lip service to the inside of the fool.
Lotus Ye first called Xiao Dezi in to talk back to Lingxi, and then went out to wash his face. Lingxi didn't say anything to Xiao Dezi, just said a few words. This little Dezi is really as Lotus Ye said, he is not pleasant to speak straightforwardly, but he is quite neat in doing things.
After letting Xiao Dezi go down, Lingxi was in a good mood. She thought that none of the six people in this hall could be trusted, but she didn't expect that Lotus Ye and Xiao Dezi were still masterless servants.
After having Lotus Leaf and Xiao Dezi, two people who reassured Lingxi, Lingxi began to reorganize his Yilan Palace. Where she sleeps day and night, where can she allow others to be presumptuous here!
The next day, when the lotus leaf was serving tea, Lingxi dropped the teacup, pointed at the lotus leaf and reprimanded loudly, and drove the lotus leaf out of the Yilan Palace.
The lotus leaf was full of grievances, and complained to the two kitchen grandmothers, Qiaozhu, Xiaoju, and a few rough palace maids in the Yilan Palace. The palace people in the Yilan Hall all knew that Lotus Ye, as the personal palace maid of the Ying Beauty, was reprimanded by the Ying Beauty.
Xiao Dezi took some silver money and got together with a few little eunuchs in the palace to gamble when no one was around. After losing money again and again, Xiao Dezi's temper became more and more bad. Those little eunuchs saw that Xiao Dezi's gambling was not good and unpleasant, so they were unwilling to play with him. But Xiao Dezi is not happy, so he has to play.
Xiao Dengzi couldn't look at it, and said, "Xiao Dezi, how can you say that you are also the person waiting by Yingmeiren's side, why are you so tough?" ”
Xiao Dezi said horizontally, "What's wrong with the waiting in front of the Ying Beauty?" I haven't taken a single reward since I came to wait in the Yilan Palace, and the monthly routine is not more than yours, so I owe it first? ”
Xiao Linzi shook his head again and again, "Don't play if you don't have money, you don't owe money on the table." ”
Xiao Shengzi also persuaded, "Xiao Dezi, stop playing, you still have to go all night at night." ”
Xiao Dezi didn't do it, "No, I lost, I lost, you guys can't do it, I'll get some back?" ”
"Then you also have to have capital! White wolf with empty gloves? When are we all stupid hats? Xiao Deng Zi glared and said, "They are all on errands in the same hall, who is afraid of whom!" ”
Xiao Dezi finally couldn't help Xiao Dengzi's words, his face was red, and after half a day, he groped out an object from his arms and slapped it on the card table, which was a white jade earring with good color.
The eyes of the other three widened when they saw it, and Xiao Shengzi pointed to the earrings and shouted, "I've seen these earrings on the ears of the warbler beauty, your dog's courage is too big!" ”
Xiao Dezi looked ruthless, and the left side of his face twitched involuntarily, "It's your dog's guts!" You don't think this thing will work, bet or not!! ”
Xiao Linzi's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly changed his smile to a smile on his face, and said, "Bet, bet." The warbler beauty has a lot of things, how can you notice such an earring? Da Ming dragged the eunuch who went out of the palace to purchase and sold it, and he was fat for three months if he was not fat for half a year! ”
When Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Shengzi heard this, they also picked up the pai gow on the card table, a good thing that someone takes risks, and if you don't win, you won't win in vain.
In this way, Xiao Dezi lost an earring today, a pearl tomorrow, a pearl flower the day after tomorrow, and lost a lot of objects before and after. And these objects, in the end, all let Xiao Linzi get into his hands, in Xiao Linzi's words, starve the faint to death, support the bold, he Xiao Linzi is willing to make this windfall.
Finally one day, Xiao Dezi knelt in front of Xiao Linzi, and said with a handful of snot and tears, "You can return me, just as if I bought it from you, and I will pay you back all the money in the future." If this is known to the Ying Meiren, I will have to be sent to the explosion room and beaten to death. ”
Where is Xiaolinzi willing to give the things in hand, even if Xiao Dezi kneels on the ground and begs again and again, he is indifferent.
In the end, Xiao Dezi was ruthless again, stood up from the ground and pointed at Xiao Linzi's nose and scolded, "If you don't fulfill me this time, I will stab you to Yingmeiren, it's a big deal that everyone will die and the net will be broken." I'm dead, and you've got to bury me, phew! You have no roots, and when you die, you will be dragged to a mass grave to feed the dogs, and in the next life, you will be entrusted with a little king with green hair on your body! ”
Eunuchs are most taboo to be scolded for having no roots, which is their personal pain. Xiao Dezi not only scolded Xiao Linzi for having no roots, but also cursed Xiao Linzi's next life, which is the same as asking for Xiao Linzi's life.
Xiao Linzi really jumped up and fought hard with Xiao Dezi, and the two of them struck together.
Xiao Dezi and Xiao Linzi are both seventeen or eighteen years old, but Xiao Dezi is not as tall as Xiao Linzi, Xiao Linzi hit Xiao Dezi to the ground with a few punches, and Xiao Dezi screamed.
"Phew! Scold me for having no roots, aren't you also a rootless thing! At least Lao Tzu still has a surname, you don't even have a fucking surname! You're going to give away the green-haired little Wang Ba in your fucking life! ”
Xiao Dezi was beaten, and the soft bones lay on the ground and cried, "I'm going to die this time!" Woowoowoo......"
Xiao Linzi kicked and scolded enough, and after calming down, he asked, "Do you want to get those things back?" ”
Xiao Dezi covered his blue eyes and nodded repeatedly, "I will pay you back every cent of the monthly bill, and I will not owe you." ”
"That's not necessary," Xiao Linzi softened his tone, and there was a gleam in his triangular eyes, "As long as you listen to my orders in the future, it will be done." ”
It's night, and it's the turn of Lotus Leaf and Xiao Dezi to be on duty. After all the palace people in the Yilan Hall fell asleep, the two of them quietly flashed into the inner hall.
Lingxi hadn't slept yet, and was sitting on a low kang waiting for them.
After the two blessed the ceremony, they sang together and talked about the situation of the servants in the palace.
Lotus Ye lowered her voice and said, "The beauty guessed well, there are really all kinds of people in this Yilan Palace." The slave and maid mingled with them these days, and could hear everything. ”
Lingxi nodded and motioned for Lotus Ye to continue, she already knew that the Yilan Hall was not clean, so she would always be careful and did not dare to move.
The new Qiaozhu slave didn't see anything, but that Xiaoju was very close to Mama Shen in the kitchen. I heard Mama Wang tell others behind her back that Mama Shen used to be an errand boy in Changxin Palace, but later because the cooking did not suit Concubine Cao's taste, she was transferred to the big kitchen of our Guangyang Palace. Later, you were grounded, and Mama Shen came to our small kitchen again. ”
"As for those rough girls, it's nothing, but there is one named Xiu'er who is close to the slave maid, saying that she has a godsister who is a third-class palace maid in the palace of Concubine Ying's mother, implying that if the slave maid is not happy here, she can help pull the strings."
Lingxi sneered in her heart, what can a third-class palace maid do? In the past, she was a first-class palace maid in front of Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, but what kind of slave was used in Yongshou Palace, when was it her turn to peck at her?
