Chapter 053: Clues
Hongluan: "The money is getting less and less, what will I do in the future?" ”
Big girl: "Yes! I haven't earned much, and I can't live if I continue like this. ”
Hongluan: "It's not as good as outside, at least you can beg for food and live." ”
Big girl: "There is! Or we'll ............."
Hongluan: "Good idea, let's go!" ”
The two saluted together: "Readers, vote more!" Let's go and exchange some big money, you will be our savior if you vote! ”
Hongluan whispered: "You voted, I want to find a way to let the woman play with her life, if she doesn't add a change, I will strike, see who she writes!" Humph............"
(Woman in a cold sweat)
The big girl tugged at the corner of Hongluan's clothes: "The woman is very tired, let her rest." ”
(Woman: It's better to be a big girl, and you'll be the protagonist in the next book!) )
"Whatever! Who made her keep us working, she couldn't complain about us, besides, she was more tired than us, right? Haha......"
(The woman is speechless)
"You're so bad!" The girl turned around and saluted the reader: "Adults vote more, women will have less than three watches a day next month, and we will strike collectively!" ”
(Woman dizzy: What kind of people are these!) )
**********
Hongluan came out of Qing'er's room and went back to her house, and when the girl saw her, she just said, "I'm going to work in a while, and your handkerchief hasn't moved much in the past few days." ”
Hongluan sat down and picked up the handkerchief: "Well, I'm going to have a good time in the next few days." After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but open her mouth to yawn loudly: "I really want to sleep well, I'm really tired." ”
The big girl sighed lightly: "Who is not tired?" Although we are full now, if my aunt asks us to complete more embroidery work one day, we are afraid that we will not last long. There was a hidden worry in her eyes, and she glanced at the door and said in a low voice: "You said that my aunt let us be on an errand day and night, what is it for?" ”
"I don't know, I don't think it's just for money." Hongluan shuttled back and forth on the embroidered cloth with a needle in her hand: "What does my sister think?" ”
The big girl shook her head bitterly: "You don't know where I can guess; But I don't look like it's for the money, at least not just for the money. I've been in the palace for a few years, and the more things I can't see through, the more careful I have to be concerned. ”
Hongluan nodded: "Sister has a point. ”
Because there was not much time, the two of them were busy embroidering handkerchiefs and did not speak again; Now the money is fate, that little money is not enough to spend the palace maids confiscated, they have to embroider more handkerchiefs in the hope that they can sell it for a few more pennies, in case of emergency.
The door was pushed open, and Liu Zhen came in from the outside, with an obviously unhappy look on her face, and she didn't see Hongluan and the big girl sitting directly at the table to eat herbal tea.
The big girl looked at Hongluan and gestured: Do you know what's wrong with her?
Hongluan shook her head gently, in fact, she could guess a few points, but she couldn't say that Yu Da Niu knew: the time when Qing'er arrived in the maid's room of the Flower Palace, and when Hong Luan returned to the room, she chatted with Da Niu for a few words, and the embroidery time was not short.
It is said that when Qing'er talks to the flower palace maid, she will send Liu Zhen out, of course Liu Zhen was sent out when she returns to the room now, but she came back a little late - she came out of the flower palace maid's room but did not return to the west chamber, so what did she do?
The corners of Hongluan's lips were slightly hooked, and she lowered her head and was still busy with the embroidery work in her hands.
The daytime errand in the Imperial Garden will take a few days to complete, and Hongluan only hopes that after this errand, the flower palace maid will not arrange any more daytime errands for them.
She and the big girl lifted a pot of flowers and trees and put them down, looked at each other and glanced left and right, and sat behind the flowers and trees: of course you have to rest when you can be lazy. There are large flowers and trees in the front and back, and there are no people on the left and right, Hongluan and Da Niu fan the wind with one hand with their sleeves, and put the other hand on the big flower pot - if someone comes, they can pretend to be adjusting the position of the flowers and trees at the first time.
Laziness is a very skillful job. Hongluan and the big girl sat down, but they listened to all directions and looked at the six directions, for fear of being seen.
Suddenly, a voice came, and Hongluan and the girl immediately bowed down, half-knelt up, and pressed their hands on the flower pot.
"I see that you are very unhappy today, but our father-in-law has seen you a few times just now, so you better be careful."
"Huh? I know. ”
"Is there something wrong with you?"
"My brother was beaten and couldn't move while lying in bed."
"Impossible, right?"
"Really, today the emperor has a big temper, not only my brother, but also several people have also been beaten lightly; My brother was light, and I heard that he broke a man's leg. "The voice is very low.
"Why? The emperor has always been kind to the people around him. ”
"Shhh, the emperor knows about the first two assassinations of the prince."
A low exclamation, "No, isn't it?" Then the man took a long breath: "I said that today I saw several imperial doctors coming and going in a hurry." ”
"The emperor's dragon body is what we can say, don't shut up yet."
The big girl suddenly pulled Hongluan and lifted her toes to quickly leave the position just now, and walked out of the secluded place, and then they walked with their heads down; But the hands of the two people who had just let go were full of sweat.
Hongluan didn't need to think about it, just listening to the words of the two eunuchs, he knew that the emperor seemed to be sick today, as if he was not sick for a day or two; She and the big girl didn't even dare to collide with each other, and they were a little flustered in their hearts.
Then they almost made a mistake in doing things, and the flowers and trees they were moving almost fell to the ground; Because of this, the two of them looked at each other, nodded to each other and did things silently and seriously, but they didn't dare to be lazy anymore.
When it was almost noon, Hongluan and the eldest girl returned to the courtyard, but the flower palace maid did not let them go back to their rooms to prepare lunch, but said to all the palace slaves: "Everyone enters the palace and thinks about it, and life at home is not easy, right?" ”
"When you go back in a few years, you don't want to add anything to your family, but at least you have to save enough for your dowry; For everyone's sake, I will embroider hexagonal handkerchiefs every ten days in the future, and I will try to make my father-in-law sell them for a few pennies more for each handkerchief. At this point she paused: "I am also for your good, if any of you can't finish it, one of you will be fined fifteen pennies, and those who have no money will be beaten fifteen boards." ”
Hongluan was almost stunned when she heard this, what did the flower palace maid want to do?
The flower palace maid smiled coldly when she saw the faces of the palace slaves: "Do you think you're too tired?" But you must know that you do not come into the palace to enjoy happiness, but to earn more money. Now that you are well fed, I have done it for your own good, if you think that I am like the original Aunt Huang, you are wrong. ”
After speaking, she turned around and entered the house, and Qing'er hurriedly said, "Remember my aunt's words, let's disperse." He hurried to the room of the maid of the flower palace.
Hongluan's heart jumped when she heard the flower palace maid mention the yellow palace maid, was it for ......? When she pushed open the door of the east chamber, she glanced back at Liu Zhen behind her and found that her face was extremely ugly.
Hongluan knew that Liu Zhen was by no means just because of the veil, but she didn't ask much, just sighed and looked at the big girl: "I have worked hard for ten days and will only have five square veils." ”
The big girl sat down: "Me too." ”
Even if each side sells for an extra one or two pennies, one veil is only a matter of five or six pennies: because things such as plain pa, needles and threads are given by the aunt, of course, they must be counted as silver coins; The Wufang handkerchief was sold for a maximum of 30 wen, but it was fined 15 wen.
It's naturally not worth it for them to work hard for a dozen dollars, but don't you do it?
Hongluan knew that she couldn't go on like this, otherwise she would die of exhaustion before she became a palace maid; She also understood why the flower palace maid forced everyone to do things so much, and thought carefully about how to get rid of the flower palace maid and protect herself.
Her gaze slid over Liu Zhen's body again, believing that Liu Zhen was even more anxious than her and the girl, because it was extremely rare for her to be able to embroider the three sides in ten days.
