Yu Yu woke up. She had a headache and was about to explode.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a small, cramped room.

She chuckled in her heart, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on her back, and she struggled to get up, looking around in panic.

Yu Yu quickly knew that she was in the cabin of the ship—the room was dimly lit, the walls and floor looked like they were made of wood, and the narrow hard bed beneath her was rippling regularly.

She preferred to believe that she was dreaming, but she knew she wasn't.

Yu Yu closed her eyes for a moment, and was about to get out of bed with her hands on the side of the bed, the curtain hanging on the hatch was lifted, and the light came in, and a girl with slender eyes and a goose egg face was very charming, and her voice was full of surprise: "Are you awake?" ”

Before Yuyi could speak, the girl turned her head and said loudly, "Aimei, go and tell Mother Jin that the person who lives in the same cabin with me is awake!" ”

Yu Yu sat on the edge of the bed, a little sluggish for a while.

When the girl saw that she was dumbfounded, she smiled and said, "My name is Zhu Lingling, I am from Zhenping County, Wanzhou, what is your name?" ”

Yu Yu wiped her face vigorously and asked, "I...... We're going...... Where to? ”

As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and it was uncomfortable.

Zhu Lingling looked at Yu Yu's appearance, and after a little thought, she guessed everything. She walked in and sat down on the bed, and said, "You were also sold by your father, right?" My father and mother died a long time ago, and before I could sell me, I was sold by my sister-in-law! ”

She lowered her eyes, playing with her skirt, and her voice was surprisingly calm: "I think my sister-in-law is not bad, at least she didn't sell me into the fireworks cave to be a bitch, I remember her and my brother for the rest of my life!" ”

Zhu Lingling said thank you, but she gritted her teeth and said it.

Yu Yu was silent for a moment, and asked again with a dumb voice: "Where are we going?" ”

Since it's on a ship, at least it's not going to Xinghualou in Dongguan, Wanzhou.

Zhu Lingling tilted her head and looked at Yu Yu Yu curiously, and answered the question: "How old are you this year?" You're so beautiful! ”

Yu Yu's black eyes looked at Zhu Lingling quietly, seeing that Zhu Lingling was a little weak-hearted, she clapped her hands lightly and said, "We are going to Qingzhou by boat, the Xingping County Mansion in Qingzhou!" ”

Yu Yu thought carefully, thought about it for a while, and sorted out the ins and outs of the matter, knowing that she was afraid that she would be poured by her father and mother with sweat medicine, so she directly tied it up and sold it to that person's mother Yan, and Yan's mother probably resold her to that golden mother.

And now Mother Jin is taking them to Qingzhou by boat!

She sat there silently thinking about her thoughts.

Because she was born beautiful, her father and mother had long muttered that they would sell her for a good price, since they had made up their minds to sell her, it was better to sell her to the palace of Xingping County as a maid than to sell her into the fireworks cave as a prostitute?

Yu Yu's heart was full of hatred.

Since it is destined to sell me and pay me back, what should I do?

This is not a father, this is a creditor, and an enemy!

She will not give up easily, no matter where she goes, she has to live happily, and she has to be happy to watch Bai Futang Bai Aunt get worse and worse!

At this moment, a girl with big eyes and a sweet face came in and said, "Are you really awake?" ”

She has a sweet face and a sweet voice.

Yu Yu winked at her.

The sweet sister squinted her eyes and smiled.

She has always been soft-hearted, and she can't see others suffering, but when she saw Bai Yuyu's little face and her lips were dry, she said, "Do you want to drink some water?" The water I just boiled for Mama Jin is still hot! ”

Bai Yuyu was really thirsty, so she nodded, and her eyes were full of longing to look at her.

This sweet sister's voice is really sweet and gentle: "Wait a minute, I'll go!" ”

Before leaving, she turned around and smiled at Bai Yuyu: "My name is Aimei, Yu Aimei!" ”

Yu Yu said in a dumb voice: "My name is Yu, and my name is Yu Yu." ”

She doesn't want the surname Bai anymore, and in the future, her surname is Yu, and her surname is her own!

Yu Aimei was illiterate, and thought that Yu Yu had the same surname as her, so she left with a smile.

Zhu Lingling said with a smile: "Aimei is the most diligent, and Mother Jin instructed her to boil water and serve tea!" ”

smiled mysteriously again, and said in a low voice: "If we have a job that we don't want to do, we beg her to do it!" ”

Yu Yu smiled and didn't say anything.

She doesn't like Zhu Lingling to take advantage of her like this, as if she is the only smart person in the world, and everyone else is a fool.

Yu Aimei was like a gust of wind, and soon came over with a white porcelain tea bowl.

She sat on the edge of the bed, wrapped her left arm around Yu Yu's weak shoulder, and carefully fed Yu Yu with a tea bowl in her right hand, and whispered in her mouth: "I went over just now, and I saw that there was still half a pot of hair tips for Mother Jin, so I secretly poured you a bowl, is it delicious?" ”

Yu Yu felt that the tea was a little bitter, but the aftertaste was sweet, she had never drunk such a delicious tea, so she nodded and said in a dumb voice: "It's delicious!" ”

The tea she usually drinks at home is boiled with the dustpan willows she picks, and only when guests come will they brew some of the cheapest big-leaf greens.

Yu Aimei squinted her eyes and smiled.

Zhu Lingling watched it from the side, raised her foot and kicked Yu Aimei: "Aimei, bring me a bowl of tea like this!" ”

Hearing this, Yu Yu glanced up at Zhu Lingling and lowered her eyes.

Yu Aimei agreed, and went to serve tea again with the empty bowl.

Under Aimei's care, Yuyu's voice was cured the next day, and she quickly familiarized herself with the lightness of the boat.

There were a total of twelve girls on this boat, all of whom were twelve or thirteen or four years old, and the oldest was only fourteen years old.

But after three or five days, these girls are all familiar, and they are chattering all day long, and Yu Yu doesn't feel lonely.

Qingzhou is east of Wanzhou, and their boat entered the canal through the Baihe River, but in ten days, they arrived at the canal wharf in Qingzhou.

The Xingping County Royal Mansion sent a steward to escort a few large carriages over, and together with Jin's mother, the twelve girls who had been purchased were transported back to the Beizhuang of the Xingping County Wangfu located by the canal in the western suburbs of Qingzhou.

In this village, Yu Yu and Yu Aimei and Zhu Lingling stayed for two years.

In the past two years, they have learned to read and write, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, learn needlework, learn to dress up and comb their hair, and even learn abacus, pen arithmetic and calculation, but they are all general and in-depth.

Yu Yu loves to learn the most, and she is very interested in these things, which is quite rewarding.

Yu Aimei is one year older than Yu Yu, and Yu Yu has the best relationship, the two live in the same room, usually do everything together, and talk to each other when they have their hearts, which is really indescribably happy.

The year I stayed with Yu Aimei was the happiest and fastest day when Yu Yu grew up.

These girls, as long as they are fourteen years old, will be selected to serve in the Xingping County Palace, but in a year, Yu Aimei was selected along with two other girls.

Before Yu Yu had time to be sad, the chattering Zhu Lingling moved in on her own initiative - she fell out with Hong Yuli in the same room!

With the company of the noisy Zhu Lingling, the rest of the year, Yu Yu was not lonely.

In the remaining year, of the twelve girls who came in together that year, only Yuyu, Zhu Lingling and another girl named Hong Yuli remained.

However, in this year, many girls and children came in one after another, but it was still very lively.

On this day, Yu Yu was practicing calligraphy in the room, and suddenly heard Zhu Lingling's voice outside: "Yu Yu! Jade Gardenia! The housekeeper mother of the county king's mansion has come to choose someone! ”

Yu Yu put down her pen and looked up, Zhu Lingling, who was in a red dress and pink skirt, ran in like a whirlwind, hugged Yu Yu, and her voice was full of joy: "Yu Yu, this time I heard that I was ordered by the princess of the county to choose someone, and I should be going to wait for the princess of the county!" ”

Yu Yu was a little out of breath by her, broke Zhu Lingling's hand hard, and said with a smile: "You sit down first, let's talk!" ”

Zhu Lingling sat down next to Yu Yu, her eyes shining with excitement: "I really want to wait for the princess of the county!" ”

"It's not just you who want to," Yu Yu smiled, "who wouldn't want to!" ”

They stayed in the other village of Xingping County Mansion for two or three years, and gradually learned a lot of secret information about the county palace.

Princess Jiang died early, and Lin Jia, the second son of the county prince's mansion, was born by Princess Jiang, but Lin Jia had a lustful temperament and was very unpopular with the county king.

Today's Princess Li is a stepfamily, she is very affectionate with the king of the county, and her stomach is also angry, and she gave birth to two sons and two daughters in one go, and her status is very stable.

In addition, in the spirit of the county king's dragon horse, there are two side concubines, several ladies and countless concubines in the palace, but the inner courtyard of the county king's mansion is full.

It is precisely because they know some of the inside affairs of the county palace that these girls are willing to be selected to serve the princess, princess or princess Li's son-in-law, rather than the eldest son Lin Yu born to the concubine and the second son Lin Jia born to the deceased Princess Jiang.

Zhu Lingling thought for a while, and said to herself, "Or, I'll go find Mother Jin?" ”

Yu Yu smiled and said, "Have you forgotten Mother Jin's temperament?" ”

Thinking of Mother Jin's rigidity and lack of affection, Zhu Lingling was suddenly deflated.

Yu Yu put the pen in his hand on the pen rest, and said, "Mother Jin is afraid that it has been divided at this time, let's just wait!" When you enter the palace, if you feel that it is inappropriate, you can think of a move! ”

Zhu Lingling felt that Yu Yu's words seemed to make sense, and nodded and said, "I have to do it like this......"

Yu Yu thought as she cleaned up the paper she had written.

She has already made up her mind, as a maid, fate is always in the hands of her master, if she wants to live happily for herself, she has to find a way to save money to redeem herself.

The time to decide the way forward is fast approaching.
