Chapter 4: Shanyun
One of the two officers grabbed the girl by the foot and dragged her away.
Changning saw through the fence that the girl's body was half-dragged away, leaving a long black and red trail of blood.
Her eyes were intent, and she already knew the girl's name at this moment.
Mo Chengyin.
Because at that time, she was the Song family who entered under this name.
At that time, the supervising grandmother said that Mo Chengyin died suddenly after being selected to serve in Qing'an Houfu, so she asked Changning to replace this name, but she now understands that this is not the case at all.
Obviously, Song Yisheng asked for this dead girl by name, and the supervising grandmother had no choice but to let her impersonate.
So, Song Yisheng is for this square?
Changning held the handkerchief and recalled, she only remembered that the handkerchief was stolen in the end.
At that time, Song Yisheng promised to find it for her, but at that time, it was the critical moment when he was going to be appointed to the Ministry of Labor, and he was very busy, Changning naturally did not want to force it, not to mention that this handkerchief was not a very important thing in her eyes, and in the end, it was gone.
Could it be that the person who stole the handkerchief at that time was Song Yisheng?
Although Changning thought it was a memorable dream, the eight-year span was too big after all, and she didn't remember many details very clearly, especially when the handkerchief was stolen, it was the most aggrieved half a year when she was in the Song family, and she was even more reluctant to remember it after she became the princess of the world-powerful prison country.
But now that everything is all over again, she has the opportunity to study the secrets of the veil.
The next morning, before dawn, there was a bang, and the supervising mothers immediately waved whips to drive them out to work.
The female slaves of this official slave department are mainly divided into two categories, one is the official prostitute, the other is the hard labor, rice cooking, laundry are some ordinary work, and even have the same manual work as the male slaves to move stones and build houses.
Therefore, in such a comparison, there will also be people who can't bear the hardships and choose to be official prostitutes, or female slaves who serve famous official prostitutes.
However, the Chu Dynasty has strict etiquette, and there are still fewer such people, but those of them who have been stamped with slave seals are destined not to be selected as official prostitutes.
is broken, and he is still an official prostitute, so Changning only needs to follow the army.
The work assigned to Changning is rice.
Because it is spring, it is the time to hoard military supplies, and Qing'an County is a small border town close to the Turks, which is heavily guarded, so the demand for military food is quite large, and she vaguely remembers that she has not changed her job until she left the Guannu Division.
Changning walked to the stone mortar, picked up a half-human-high wooden stick, and beat it seriously.
The official slave department provided the most ordinary stone mortar, which was beaten hard with a thick wooden stick, and could be three people together or alone.
Changning chose a stone mortar the size of a person.
She held the wooden stick in both hands and repeated the work mechanically one by one, and it didn't take long for her to be covered in sweat, and the "wound" on her head began to form a ball.
The wounds of the newly tortured slave girls around them also began to be eroded and stung by sweat, and the supervising grandmother immediately whipped people.
However, Changning did a serious job, but he was not beaten.
It's just that when she raised her hand to wipe her sweat, she often used a charcoal stained with cinnabar to secretly make up for it a few times, so that her forehead would continue to be black and red.
After a hard day's work, but nothing good was exchanged, the coarse chaff was boiled in water and distributed to these slave girls.
Changning took the bowl and forcibly drank it, and went to ask for another bowl.
She stretched out her hand, and the porridge mama knocked on the bucket impatiently: "No." ”
Changning's hand didn't move, still holding it like this.
The supervising grandmother next to her came over, and when she saw that it was Changning, she gave the porridge a look: "Give her a bowl, today she is worth two people alone." ”
Changning sat aside with a bowl of porridge, and this time she drank it slowly.
The rough chaff choked her throat, but she had no choice but to do that, after all, there was no other food for her to choose from.
Thinking like this, a scent wafted into my nose.
It's meaty.
Changning looked down at the little crumbs in his bowl, drank it all in one gulp, got up and walked along with the taste.
The slave girls were squatting in the yard in twos and threes, and the scent wafted from the house.
It was the grandmothers who were eating, and there was a female slave girl who was adding food to them, Changning knew very well that this female slave was not from this courtyard, she should have come to deliver food.
It seems that this official slave division is not an iron bucket, and there is no way to exploit loopholes.
Changning knew in her heart that it was impossible for her to return to Chang'an to rule the world, but finding out the handkerchief and escaping from the official slave department could be her first goal.
Now is a good opportunity to achieve this goal.
"It's not delicious, the meat is old and there is no fresh juice, and the wood is greasy." Changning leaned against the pillar and said lightly, successfully making the six or seven grandmothers in the room look at her at the same time.
"Go and go, and when you're done eating, you'll get to work!" There is a grandmother who comes out to bombard people.
Changning didn't say much, and continued to pound the rice with a nonchalant face.
However, after she said this, several people didn't have much appetite, and they ate two bites hastily.
The next day, Changning was still working so hard to scoop rice.
The supervising grandmother paid a lot of attention to her on this day, because there were not many female slaves who still worked so hard here.
Changning went her own way, but she didn't drink it directly when she sent out porridge at noon that day.
Two stones set fire to the dead branches, she picked out the rice bran from the bowl and put it on a large leaf to roast over the fire, and the crackling sound brought the burnt incense to the slave girls in the yard.
After Changning baked, there was only a small piece of bran cake on a leaf, she broke the cake and threw it into the porridge bowl, which immediately filled the bowl with rice fragrance, making her mouth water.
After she finished eating, she took the porridge bowl of a slave girl next to her and baked it.
The fragrance attracted several grandmothers, and some people were full of tongues, and asked for a piece to taste, and their eyebrows danced.
The rough taste of the bran cake is well concealed by the fragrance of the leaves, but it is crispy and delicious, even if you put it in the porridge, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is extra sweet.
Several grandmothers were moved, and together they called Changning to the house to bake chaff cakes.
Anyway, there are so many female slaves, and there are many of them who work.
Changning didn't refuse, because she had her first full meal here, which was a great help to get out.
But after eating, she still chose to go back to work, and she worked harder.
The supervising grandmother was very satisfied when she saw it, she didn't take the opportunity to threaten her, and she has been working hard and is an honest person.
In this way, the honest man got two full meals a day, and successfully grew two pairs of muscles through the exercise of Chung Mi, which made Changning very satisfied.
At this stage, strength is her greatest asset.
"A-Ning, the supervising grandmother said to transfer you to the kitchen to help." Someone informed that Changning was taken to the kitchen, anyway, female slaves like them had no luggage to speak of.
There was already a female slave girl cooking in the kitchen, it was the person Changning saw that day, and now that she is here, this female slave has a sense of crisis.
After all, there is a lot of work in the official slave department, and not everyone has the opportunity to be lazy in the kitchen, and Changning's arrival may mean that she is leaving.
In this case, how could the slave girl give Changning a good face.
"Your name is Shanyun, isn't it?" Changning Road.
Shanyun snorted ignorantly, and took care of himself to chop vegetables.
"I know a better way out." Changning continued.
"Oh, why don't you go?" Shanyun sneered and threw the dish into the pot with a bang.
Changning was not annoyed, and continued to say lightly: "It's the Song family." ”
Shanyun's spoon fell to the ground with a thud.
