The access control of Zhaofu is very strict, and the maids must have the waist card issued above when they enter and exit every day, otherwise they will leave the house without permission and be caught playing the board. As for the night, the doors everywhere are locked, and there are also the family members who are on duty at night to patrol back and forth, which is more strictly controlled than during the day, so the gentle beating from crossing into this world, I have never thought about escaping, first, the risk of escaping is too great, almost ninety percent of the chance will fail, and second, what kind of food, clothing, housing and transportation do not need money after escaping? If she has money, it is better to redeem herself directly, find a good place to stay, and walk out of this Zhao Mansion openly.

It's just that she doesn't know how much money it takes to redeem herself, she can't ask Xiaohuan about this kind of thing, and even if she asks, she won't know, because the selling price of each maid is different, so she can only pay attention to inquiring slowly. Gently sighed softly, feeling that the burden on his body was heavier, that is, to repay the debt, and to redeem himself, where to find money? The monthly money is definitely not counted on, and those few copper coins are only enough to buy the necessities of life......

She was just thinking about her mind there, and she didn't notice that the cooks around her had finished eating, so Xiaohuan hurriedly pushed her and said, "Eat quickly." She was shocked to realize that the sister-in-law Wang, who had scald medicine on her face, had come to her, so she quickly picked up the bowl, poured the bowl of gruel that had already been cooled into her stomach, wiped her mouth, and stood up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Xiaohuan, after you finish eating, hurry to the third girl's side, I guess she should get up, you go to the yard to fold some flowers for the third girl, don't gather in this kitchen all day, what's the fun of the miasma?" Sister-in-law Liu stepped in from outside the door, and said without stopping: "Ruhua, you clean up the dishes and chopsticks, fill the bucket with water, and then chop the firewood, and come back in two hours to wash the vegetables and burn the fire." Sister-in-law Wang, you find someone to send breakfast out, if it's any later, those boys will be so hungry that they will scold their mother. ”

Like a flower! Gentle couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, she is still very unaccustomed to this name, every time someone calls her, what comes to her mind is a guy with a full head of flowers, a beard, and a finger picking his nostrils, God knows who came up with this name, what a talent!

However, listening to the meaning of Sister-in-law Liu's words, as long as she finishes washing dishes and splitting water and firewood within two hours, the rest of the time can be completely at her disposal, which is good news for gentleness, and finally has time to walk around, familiarize herself with the environment of Zhaofu, so as not to get lost all day, so she moved faster, washed the dishes in three times and five two, and fetched two or three buckets of water before going to the firewood room to chop firewood.

When she was gently fighting against the heavy big axe, Xiaohuan slipped out to look for her again, gently wiped the sweat on her forehead, and said in surprise: "Xiaohuan, do you have nothing to do during the day?" ”

"Yes, I am taking care of the flowers and plants in the yard of the third girl, but I have already watered it in the morning, and I just pruned it yesterday, so I don't have anything to do for the time being, so I sneaked out to play with you."

"I don't have time to play, you see, there's still this firewood to chop." Wen Rou originally thought that she could have some time left to move freely, but she knew that she was very rusty with chopping wood, either chopping crookedly or slipping an axe, tossing for a long time, and most of it was not finished.

"I'll help you." Xiaohuan said and went to the firewood room to find an axe out, and helped Gentle to chop together, but she was young and weak, so she didn't do this kind of rough work, so she didn't do this kind of rough work, so that the action looked more clumsy than Gentle, and once she used too much force, the axe flew out directly, almost chopping Gentle's feet, and she was so frightened that Gentleness asked her to stop quickly, and just sat aside to talk to herself to relieve her boredom.

The two of them chatted and gossiped without a match, most of them were gentle and asked some things about Zhao Mansion and this strange world, Xiaohuan rarely met a person older than her to ask her questions, and the answer was simply happy, the two of them worked while talking, so they didn't feel too hard, and when they finished chopping firewood, they could pass an hour, Xiaohuan touched his purse, took out two copper coins, and smiled mysteriously at her: "Sister, let's go buy sugar gourds to eat?" ”

"Where to buy? We can't get out. Sigh gently, she now knows that she has traveled to an unknown era, the emperor is a guy surnamed Ye, in short, it has never appeared in the history textbooks of her world, but the people in this place are very feudal, women pay attention to the door and do not go out of the door, even if they are maids, as long as they work in a big family's house, they are not married, they can't come and go freely.

"There are a lot of vendors selling food and gadgets on the street, we don't have to go out, as long as we wave, there will be vendors who will automatically come to solicit business. Brother Zhao Lu, who is the gatekeeper, is very familiar with me, as long as I don't step out of the threshold, I buy things every day, but he turns a blind eye and doesn't care about me. Xiaohuan happily shook his gentle hand and said: "Let's go, let's go, the sugar gourd is sweet and sour and delicious, and it makes people drool when they think about it." ”

Gently looked at Xiaohuan and smiled, thinking that she was really a little girl, she liked sweets, but she was actually very old, and she was really not interested in this kind of child's food, but it was not good to sweep Xiaohuan's interest, so she had to nod, and with her going, she should recognize the road in the house.

Before approaching the corner door, Gentle saw that there were many vendors outside the door and peeking into the Zhao Mansion Gate, just hoping that someone would come to patronize their business, and a few sharp-eyed people saw Xiaohuan, who often came out to buy snacks, led another beautiful little maid to this side, and immediately pulled his throat and shouted loudly-

"Hey-melon seeds--burnt melon seeds--spiced melon seeds-"

"Honey hey, hey, hey—rock sugar gourd!"

"Roasted ginkgo seeds—ginkgo seeds!"

"Jiangmi jujube - what a big zongzi!"

Gentle saw these people with their necks straightened, their hands covering half of their ears and shouting to the sky, one shouting more cheerfully than one another, one shouting more lively than the other, couldn't help but smile slightly, and then sighed in his heart, it seems that it is not easy to be a small vendor to sell snacks and food, at least you have to have a loud and good voice to shout out business.

"Brother Zhao Lu-" Xiaohuan saw a family guarding by the corner gate, and flew over like a butterfly, "I'll buy sugar gourds to eat, and you pick up two big ones for me!" ”

As soon as the vendor selling rock sugar gourds heard that the two maids were coming for him, the shouting immediately doubled, and said to Xiaohuan: "Don't worry, girl, I will pick up the biggest one for you!" ”

"Little Ring!" Wen Wen hurriedly rushed up to grab her and said, "You just buy a bunch, I won't eat it." ”

"No, there is no reason for someone to eat good things!" Xiaohuan shook his head, insisted on handing the two still warm copper coins in his hand to Zhao Lu and said, "Two strings, help me pick up two strings, I see that the top string is very big and very red!" She said, already salivating.

Persuaded Xiaohuan, Wen Wen was a little anxious, she felt that she should have taken the money out to invite Xiaohuan to eat, but she didn't have a copper coin on her, seeing that Zhao Lu looked at them twice, she was already going out to buy sugar gourds for Xiaohuan, she had an idea, and said loudly: "Wait!" ”

"What's the matter, sister?" Xiaohuan turned around puzzled, "Don't be polite to me, I'll invite you this time, and you will invite me again next time, so that each of us can eat one more time!" ”

Gently listened to her words and couldn't cry or laugh, how could the account be calculated like this? If Xiaohuan doesn't invite her to eat today, she can still have an extra copper coin left, and she can buy it again in the future? However, she didn't say this to Xiaohuan, only pulled her over and asked softly, "How much rock candy can be bought for two copper coins?" ”

"I don't know, it's a big bag, right?" Xiaohuan didn't have a concept, but Zhao Lu interjected on the side: "It's enough to buy nearly a catty." ”

Wen Wen Yan immediately smiled on his face, and whispered: "Just now we walked all the way and saw that the begonia trees were bearing fruit, if we can pick them, why don't we make sugar gourds and eat them ourselves?" ”

"Will you do it?" Xiaohuan's eyes lit up, she was not stupid, of course she knew that she could make a few more strings of sugar gourds when she bought a pound of rock sugar, anyway, the owner of the begonia fruit in the house didn't want to eat it, and they were all occasionally picked as snacks when a few little maids had no money, but the taste was too sour, she didn't love it.

"Yes." Smile gently.

Seeing the two maids whispering inside the door, the sugar gourd seller outside the door was anxious and asked loudly: "Hey, do you want to buy it!" ”

"Don't buy it, don't buy it!" Xiaohuan grimaced at him and shouted, "Is there anyone selling rock candy today?" ”
