Chapter 002: Slipping out of the Prime Minister's Mansion
"What do you mean you can't stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion anymore? Miss, where are you going? Jin Niang asked nervously.
Xia Ye thought about it and said truthfully: "Jin Niang, I'm going to leave the Xiangfu to break outside, instead of staying in the Xiangfu in dire straits, it is better to go to the outside world to come freely." ”
Without waiting for Xia Ye to finish speaking, Jin Niang said directly: "No matter where Miss goes, Jin Niang will follow Miss!" ”
Xia Ye looked at Jin Niang with emotion, and a trace of apology flashed in her eyes: "Jin Niang, this incident was originally caused by me, I don't want to burden you, and I don't want you to go out with me to suffer, you just stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Madame, they can't do anything to you, they just want to wronged Jin Niang." ”
"Jin Niang is not afraid of hardship, Jin Niang has to serve by Miss's side, Miss Don't leave Jin Niang alone in the Prime Minister's Mansion." Jin Niang looked at Xia Ye with a firm look in her eyes.
Although Jin Niang said this, she can't be so selfish, Jin Niang is old, and the outside world doesn't know what will happen, she must not let Jin Niang suffer with her anymore, and she is used to being alone, and it is convenient to do anything: "Jin Niang, you listen to me, you have to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you have to wait for my mother to come back, and you have to wait for me to come back to pick you up." ”
Jin Niang understands that the current Miss is different from the previous Miss, and if she insists on following the Miss, it will be a drag: "Okay, then Jin Niang will wait for Miss to pick up Jin Niang in a beautiful manner." The two of them laughed and hugged each other for a long time.
Taking advantage of the dark night to sneak out of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the summer leaves, she will be a free person from now on!
In the days when the prime minister was not favored, her moon silver was basically deducted by her aunt, so that she ran away without entanglement, she could be hungry but never sleep on the streets, because she was naturally timid, especially when it was dark, touch the five taels of silver that were placed close to her, and she should be able to stay in the inn for one night.
These five taels of silver are still Jin Niang's usual frugality, and the rest is now wrapped up in her plate, her heart is full of emotion, she swears that if she has money in the future, she must be filial to Jin Niang.
Joy Inn.
Xia Ye found a relatively ordinary inn, thinking that it might be cheaper to stay in the hotel.
"Master, please inside! Is it a stay or a sharpening? Xiao Er greeted warmly at the door.
Xia Ye turned her head and looked behind her, no one reacted, when she left the Prime Minister's Mansion, for convenience, she changed into men's clothes, "Ahem..." Xia Ye remembered that she was now a man, so she lowered her voice and said, "Live in the hotel." ”
"Okay, sir, please."
I don't know if it's providence or coincidence, it's just five taels of silver to live in the hotel, and now she's a veritable two-sleeved breeze, forget it, sleep! If she goes out tomorrow to find a livelihood, she still doesn't believe that she can't mix in ancient times as a modern person?
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day, Xia Ye got up early and left the inn, ran a few streets and found that no matter what she did, in addition to the capital, she didn't know the value of the Jiang Dynasty's currency, and it took time to understand this kind of thing, but now that she was penniless, let alone studying, I was afraid that even survival was a problem.
"Meat buns, meat buns that have just come out of the pot......" After the vendors selling steamed buns, the hawker's shouting and the smell of the steamed buns just out of the pot made Xia Ye swallow his saliva unconsciously, touched his shriveled stomach and continued to walk forward.
"I heard that the country has invaded the border of my Jiang Dynasty again, and there is a recruiting office in front of it, let's go, go and see!"
"Let's go."
What the two men said just now reached Natsuba's ears and invaded the border? Recruit soldiers? Looking at the bustling crowd in front of her, she decided to join in the fun.
"Hey, let it, let it go." Xia Ye sharpened his head and finally squeezed in front of the crowd, and saw a recruitment notice posted on the city wall: "Take care of food and housing, three taels of silver per month, and now applicants can receive three taels of silver in advance." ”
The treatment is not bad, anyway, she doesn't have any plans now, so let's sign up first to fill her stomach.
"Oops... Official, I'll sign up. Xia Ye walked to the registration office and took the silver to buy the meat bun just now, but was stopped by the official: "Gather in the city immediately, I'll take you to change into a military uniform." ”
"But I haven't eaten yet, I'm so hungry, can I go buy a meat bun first." Xia Ye bitter gourd looked pitiful.
"Naturally, there is something for you to eat at the assembly place, hurry up, the army does not raise idlers, but it will not treat you badly." The official obviously didn't eat her, Xia Ye immediately changed his face and obediently followed the official into the city to gather.
The loose military uniform makes Xia Ye's thin body even more visible, but the official who brought her in just now doesn't know where to go? "Huh? What about people? ”
"Hey, did you just sign up too?" I felt a voice sound from behind, piggybacking on her shoulder.
Turning her head, a man wearing the same clothes as her looked at her with a curious look: "Why did you pat me on the shoulder?" Is it familiar? Xia Ye replied angrily.
I was already hungry and uncomfortable, and when I was so frightened by him, my stomach was cramped, and it was strange that I could speak in a good voice.
The man disagreed, and continued to introduce himself very enthusiastically: "My name is Chu Chengxiao......
Halfway through speaking, the man quickly covered his mouth, he sneaked out to join the army, but he had to hide his identity, and quickly said: "I'm the fourth in the family, be kind, you can call me Chu Si, what's your name?" ”
"A lot of money." Xia Ye thought about it and didn't reveal her real name, after all, she used to be a figure in the capital.
"Then I'll call you Duoduo, you will be comrades in the same trench in the future, take care of me!" Chu Chengxiao's friendly gesture was completely ignored by Xia Ye: "Is there anything to eat?" ”
"Huh? Yes! Yes! Do you want to eat half a loaf of bread? Chu Chengxiao was stunned, took out half a piece of cake from his arms and handed it to Xia Ye.
Xia Ye took a few bites of the cake and stuffed it into his stomach, licked the crumbs on his mouth and burped a long time: "Thank you." ”
The corners of Chu Chengxiao's mouth twitched a few times, what kind of strange flower did he know: "You're welcome, let's hurry up and gather, otherwise the big army will set off." With that, he ran towards the place where the army had assembled.
Looking at Chu Si who was walking away, Xia Ye hurriedly chased after him: "Didn't you say that you will be comrades in the same trench in the future?" Wait for me, hey! ”
"Your running posture is really motherly, your body is thin and long, and your name is like a little girl, you won't really be a little girl, right?" Chu Chengxiao looked at Xia Ye, who was running out of breath, and quipped.
"Who do you say?" Xia Ye deliberately pretended to be a very gentleman and punched Chu Chengxiao, if it was found that he was a man disguised as a woman and joined the army just to cheat and eat and drink, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect his head, Xia Ye not only sighed when he thought about it like this, but always reminded himself in his heart that he was a man now.
"What do you think?" Chu Chengxiao bumped Xia Ye who was in a daze with his elbow and said, "Let's go!" ”
When following the large army out of the city, the streets were surrounded by people on both sides, Xia Ye suddenly felt a feeling of being a leader in the countryside to inspect, and his waist was very straight, just like the sentence: "Comrades have worked hard!" ”
