Although the living conditions are not very good, but fortunately it is the autumn season at this time, the night is not very hot, gentle and tired for a day, the head is on the pillow, and it does not take long for it to fall asleep.

It seemed that it was just a kung fu to close her eyes, and before she had slept enough, she felt her body shaking slightly, and she was taken aback, jumped up and shouted: "Earthquake? There was an earthquake! ”

The people in the room got up, stopped what they were doing, and looked at her in surprise with their eyes open, Xiao Yan pushed her on the side and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" I woke you up. ”

Whew, a false alarm! Gently exhaled, I felt sleepiness hit me again, looking at the shadows on the window paper that had not yet penetrated the daylight, thinking that it was not dawn, why did I have to get up so early? A few days ago, I lived with Jin Yu and them, and when I saw that they seemed to be able to sleep until dawn before getting up, I wondered: "Do you have to get up so early?" ”

A few maids who were washing in the room looked at her eating and laughing, and one of them, Qiao'er, rolled his eyes at her and said, "If you don't get up, can't you wait for the three poles in the sun to call the old lady to serve you?" ”

Xiao Yan also smiled: "We are all maids who clean the courtyard and wash clothes, so naturally we have to clean up the house and yard as soon as possible, as for you, let's hurry up and wait in the big kitchen, don't delay making breakfast." ”

Gentle and helpless, I had to rub my sour eyes, get up and get dressed, but I secretly complained in my heart, hating God for throwing her to such a place, not only did she have no human rights, but she couldn't even sleep lazy. But at the moment, there is no other way to think of anything other than to accept it, so let's wait until you are familiar with this place, and then find a way to slowly improve your life.

When she got up, the maids in the house had already washed up and gone out to do things, Xiaoyan was still sitting cross-legged on the bed combing her hair, and said to Wen Rou Yao: "I still have half a bucket of water left from the morning, you will just wash, but you have to go to fetch water by yourself tomorrow, don't go to bed late." ”

Gently agreed, took out the silver hairpin from his burden and put it in his arms, and then asked Xiaoyan for a little tooth powder, went to the outside to break a poplar branch, bit it softly, and wiped his teeth with tooth powder.

Xiao Yan saw it and said, "Why don't you even brush your teeth?" ”

People here call the toothbrush a toothbrush, which is a thing with a bamboo handle and a horsetail brush head, which actually looks similar to the toothbrush that Wen Wen used before, but not so delicate. As a daily necessity, Ruhua of course also has a toothbrusher, but even if Gentleness occupies Ruhua's body, psychologically speaking, she still can't accept Ruhua's used toothbrush, so she has been using the method she saw in the book before for the past few days, wiping her teeth with Yang Zhi, but when Xiaoyan asked at this time, she couldn't answer truthfully, so she had to cover it up: "It's broken, I haven't bought it yet." ”

"Mrs. Cai, the gatekeeper of the West Corner Gate, has always been friendly with us, if you have any bits and pieces, ask her to buy them on your behalf." Xiao Yan said that she jumped out of bed, put on her shoes, straightened her clothes, and was about to go out, and she was still thinking straight in her mouth, "It's too late today, I blame you!" ”

Wen Rou had already wiped her teeth and was washing her face, when she saw that Xiao Yan was leaving, she couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Good sister, wait for me to go together!" "She walked in the dark last night, and she didn't know much at this time, and if she was fascinated by the road for an hour or two later, she would definitely be scolded for being bloody.

"Waiting for you? The two of us are not on the way! Xiao Yan saw that she hurriedly dropped the hand towel to wipe her face, and was busy splashing the sewage in the basin, and was about to leave after putting the basin, she couldn't help laughing: "You don't comb your hair, just go out with your head unkempt?" ”

"I ...... Forgot ......" gently touched her hair with her hand, and sure enough, she felt that the hair was scattered, she was hit by a cane a few days ago, and her injuries did not heal, and she had been sleeping on her stomach, but she didn't mess up her hair much, so she didn't think about this stubble at all, and then looked at Xiaoyan combing a three-haired girl, and was always embarrassed to say that she didn't know how to comb the complicated hairstyle in ancient times, so she had to spread out her hair, straighten it with a comb, and braid a simple braid behind her head, tie it with a head rope, and just take a moment.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan didn't express surprise when she saw her comb her hair like this, presumably girls in this era also have such a simple hairstyle, so she put her mind at ease, took the lantern she brought from the kitchen last night, closed the door, and walked with Xiao Yan.

It would be about five o'clock in the morning, the sky was just getting bright, and the two walked to a fork in the road, gentle and didn't know the way, just followed behind Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan stopped and turned around, pointing to another road and said, "Why are you still following me?" Isn't it the right way to go to the kitchen? ”

"Ahh I was thinking about things and forgetting about them. Wen Rou hurriedly took a few steps back, said goodbye to Xiao Yan and walked on another road.

When I arrived at the kitchen, I saw the lights inside from a distance, presumably the cooks had already begun to be busy with breakfast, and Wen Wen had to go in, and sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the threshold, someone sneered: "What a lazy girl, I got up when it was dawn, who are you waiting for to serve you?" ”

Gentlely pretended not to hear, walked up to Sister-in-law Liu, who was directing everyone to cook porridge and steamed buns, handed her the silver hairpin in her arms, and whispered: "Sister-in-law Liu, I don't have any money, can I use this silver hairpin to pay back the money?" ”

Sister-in-law Liu took the silver hairpin and checked it with her hand, and then took a closer look before she spoke: "This hairpin is plated with a layer of silver on the outside, and the inside is full of copper cores, which is only worth three or four coins of silver at most." Okay, I'll keep it for now, but you can hand in the rest as soon as possible. ”

Hearing her say this, I was very disappointed, and what was even more headache was where to find money to pay off the debt? But this is not the time for her to stand and think about her thoughts, Sister-in-law Liu received the silver hairpin and asked her to chop wood, and she was busy until the sun rose and the main room had a meal, and then she was allowed to sit down and eat something together.

To say that the food of the people of Zhao Mansion is not bad, in the morning to prepare glee, dry rice, steamed buns, pastries and other staple foods for everyone to use, there are several dishes for dinner, but most of them are fermented bean curd and all kinds of pickles, and a small plate of salted dried fish, but those cooks each clamped a chopstick to see the bottom, and it was not the turn of gentleness at all.

Gently scooped a bowl of gruel, and took advantage of the opportunity to drink porridge with her head down, searching her stomach and thinking about what she was good at, and she was able to use it to make money and survive in this strange ancient world, but after thinking about it, she found that she could only do anything except cooking, in other words, nothing! I can't write, I can't count, I can't draw, I can't even take a needle, I can barely nail a button, it's a fantasy to learn from others to do some needlework and sell it for money!

But what is the use of cooking in this era? She probed the tone of Jin Yu and others, and knew that she was sold to Zhao's mansion, and if she wanted to leave here and go out to work in a restaurant to make money, it was absolutely impossible! Thinking about it gently, she smiled bitterly, does that lady Li have the ability to predict the future! Knowing that she was a cook before the crossing, he specially sent her to the kitchen to do chores.
