Chapter 7: Why Do You Laugh at Me?
It is a long way from Gangneung to the capital, and the things during this period are sparse and usually not too much to repeat. Li's mother takes care of Junyu's diet and daily life, saying that she is taking care of her, but in fact, she is spying on her more often. Jun Yu saw that she had to write a letter to find a post station every other day to send it, and she could guess that it was all a small report to Song Wang's family without asking.
Although this person respectfully calls himself "Second Miss", in fact, he still regards Junyu as an ordinary maid in the past, and many places of service are not in accordance with Miss's specifications. Junyu doesn't care about the details with her, and if she sees it, she doesn't see it.
Junyu arrived in the capital a day ahead of schedule, and in the early morning of the second day under the inn, the sky was dark and there was no light before he was called up by Li's mother.
Mother Li forcibly pressed Junyu in front of the dressing mirror, and Junyu didn't bother to struggle. She has already experienced such a scene once, and she doesn't have to waste time and effort to trouble again.
After the grooming was completed, Mother Li took Junyu into a blue cloth carriage and entered from the Xuanhua Gate on the west side of the palace, and stopped in a square. Countless of the same blue cloth carriages stopped here, and all kinds of brightly colored and delicate women came out one after another, talking and laughing with the maids who accompanied them, or some wiped away tears and sobbed.
"Second Miss, wait a moment, the old slave wants to make it easier." Mother Li raised her eyes and peeked at Junyu, and without waiting for Junyu to answer, she shrank and ran quickly to the corner. Junyu squinted behind him, feeling very unusual.
She didn't care if it was polite or not, and went straight after her. Seeing that Mother Li turned a corner behind a palace door and hid in the corner, there was already a eunuch standing there, as if she had planned it before. Junyu hid by the palace gate, just enough to hear the conversation between the two clearly.
"Your Excellency, what you said earlier counts?" Mother Li smiled and took out a money bag from her arms, which was full of golden ingots, enough to buy a house in Jiangling.
The eunuch quietly put the money bag in his pocket, he patted Li's mother's hand, and said in a shrieked voice: "Don't worry, since you have received the money, you will naturally do things for your wife." ”
After that, the eunuch looked around vigilantly, and when he saw that there was no one, he immediately left here quickly. Mother Li said "thank you" a few times, crossed the threshold with a smile on her face, and just looked at Junyu who was waiting for the rabbit, and suddenly stumbled under her feet, and Junyu immediately reached out to help her, so as not to fall to the ground.
"II...... Why is the second miss here......" Mother Li lowered her head and stared at the stone bricks on the ground with a weak heart. She wanted to get lucky, in case Junyu didn't hear anything.
But Junyu really listened to it. A smile tugged at her lips, looking harmless.
"Seeing that Li's mother has been gone for a long time and worried, I will follow me to take a look." Jun Yu moved her eyes slightly, stared at Mother Li and said word by word. "But I didn't expect Mother Li to do what she was doing!"
"Second Miss, don't talk nonsense, I didn't do anything!" Mother Li was heartbroken and decided not to say whether she was alive or dead.
Jun Yu had long expected that her mouth would not be able to pry open, and she heard the word "madam" in the conversation just now, which seemed to be instructed by the Song Wang family.
She snorted coldly, and her eyebrows and eyes seemed to turn into blades, almost ripping Mother Li into slices of meat.
"Since you still call me Second Miss, you will know who is the master and who is the slave! Right now, it's not in the Song Mansion of Gangneung, but in the capital. If I want to deal with you, it's nothing more than disposing of my own servants, how dare you say that I am a substitute, you can only eat Coptis dumbly! Junyu gritted her teeth and said word by word, every word scared Mother Li's face pale.
She looked at Junyu with a snarking, she had never thought that this person was such a powerful character.
Mother Li swallowed her saliva, thinking that anyway, the money was given and the matter was settled, Mrs. has never dealt with Junyu, are you afraid of an extra layer of mustard? So he was relieved and told everything he knew.
"When I came out, my wife told me to find the chief eunuch after entering the palace, give him the money, and I will do things."
"What are you doing?" Junyu asked urgently.
"Cross out the name of the second lady directly from the list, and don't give the chance to enter the palace to face the saint." Mother Li said sincerely. "That's all I know, Second Miss, don't be embarrassed anymore."
So that's it?!
Junyu then figured it out, why he didn't even have a face saint in the draft in his previous life, and was directly taken away by the eunuch and assigned to the East Palace to be a palace maid, it turned out that the Song Wang family had done it early.
Mother Li quietly looked at Junyu's expression, without a trace of anger, and there was a faint joy in the plain. She frowned in confusion, thinking that she was so angry that she was getting more and more afraid.
"I don't care about this matter, and you don't want to mention it to your wife." Junyu turned around and paced the same way, commanding as he went.
If I had known about this in my previous life, I would have been furious, but after experiencing this life, I was not angry but happy. It's really thanks to the Song Wang clan that he paved the way for himself to be able to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again. Thinking of this, Junyu's heart couldn't help but throb.
After all the show girls in Xuanhua Gate arrived, the eunuchs of the general consul named and entered the inner palace from Yongming Gate in batches to the emperor for the draft. The selected ones will become the mother's own arrangement, and the rest will be selected by the queen mother, part of the main wife of the prince and the prince, and the rest will be repatriated as the original hometown. And from the other side of the Yongming Gate, in the dark corner where the sun could not shine, there was also a group of women walking along.
The chief eunuch held the roster and shouted all the people, and there were no more people in the square in Xuanhua Gate. He glanced at Mother Li faintly, then turned his eyes to look at Junyu who was standing on the side, and said to her, "You, go over there!" ”
Mother Li suddenly became nervous when she heard this, she stood next to Junyu and was ready to cover her mouth at any time to prevent her from screaming, she had already planned to live up to Madame's order even if she dragged it. What I didn't expect was that Junyu just saluted, and went there with her bags without much urging. This made Mother Li and the chief eunuch look at each other dumbfounded, and said in their hearts: This woman is a character!
The women in that group were all gray and dirty from the perspective of their clothes, and many of them looked poor and sour with patches. The brightly dressed Junyu looked very eye-catching in this group of people, and everyone had to take a look at it quietly.
The one who took the lead was the mean-looking old woman, because she was greeted by the eunuch of the commander-in-chief, she saw Junyu coming and only led people to continue walking forward as if she didn't see it.
A little girl with a round face walking in front of Junyu kept glancing at Junyu curiously. Although she is not very rich, she is also very decent, and even wears a pendant of small red agate on her ears, which should be the daughter of a rich family.
Junyu glanced at her and laughed, the girl thought that she was detected, and suddenly Hongyunfei immediately stared at the ground and no longer dared to move, but she couldn't help but be curious to know why the person behind her was laughing, tangled and entangled, and still couldn't help but turn her face and stare at Junyu weakly and said, "Why are you laughing at me?" ”
