Chapter 6: The Truth of Ugliness

It turned out that when Nangong Yi'er turned four years old, her appearance began to be extremely amazing, and she grew up with this trend, even surpassing her mother's appearance. Of course, the nurse was the first to find out, and began to think of the current situation, if the ladies and ladies of the other rooms knew the news, they would definitely be jealous and hateful, and persecuted.

And Nangong Yi'er's mother died early, and she has to protect such an amazing-looking Seventh Lady as a nurse, I am afraid that she has more than enough heart and not enough strength.

The nurse was originally the daughter of a folk doctor in the snowy country, her mother died of illness when she was five years old, and her father married another one, and when she was ten years old, her father accidentally fell off a cliff and died during a medicine collection. After her father's death, her stepmother seized the entire pharmacy and family property, and kicked her out of the house. Fortunately, she left a hand to take her father's unique secret recipe, the hemp face man, out of the house.

After that, he wandered on the street, and met a very beautiful girl who was the mother of Nangong Yi'er, and saw that she was pitiful, so he took her in and became her personal maid.

Later, I learned that the beautiful girl was a rich daughter, fourteen years old, named Lan Xuan, the only daughter in the family, she was very sympathetic to her experience, and after a long time, she was like a sister, and later because the housekeeper colluded with outsiders to calculate Master Lan, the Lan family went bankrupt overnight, and the family fell into decline. Mrs. Lan also couldn't stand the blow, and died of depression within a few days.

The thief didn't seem to be satisfied, because he liked Miss Lan's beauty and wanted to marry back, Master Lan killed the thief in order to protect his daughter, but fortunately, Miss Lan and the nurse escaped.

Later, he was exiled to Aoyu Kingdom, and all the coils on his body were used up, so he went to the Qinglou in desperation. But Miss Lan only sells her art and does not sell herself, and the nurse is afraid that some dignitaries and nobles will try to misrepresent Miss Lan's beauty and forcibly have sex with her, so this pockmarked person is always on her body in case of emergency. But I didn't expect that it was not Miss Lan who was used in the end, but Nangong Yi'er.

So when Nangong Yi'er was four years old, in order not to let anyone find out, the nurse dropped a drop in the tea and let Nangong Yi'er drink it, and in less than a minute, Nangong Yi'er had a pockmarked face. In order to create the illusion of illness, the nurse let Nangong Yi'er smell the fragrance and sleep without going out for five consecutive days, and sure enough, the people in Nangong Mansion thought that Miss Seven was seriously ill.

Later, when Nangong Yi'er recovered and appeared in front of everyone, everyone was shocked, and soon all the people in Nangong Mansion knew one thing, Miss Seven of Nangong Mansion had a pockmarked face after a serious illness.

Speaking of this, the nurse took out a small bottle from her pocket and put it on the table, and said: "This is the pockmarked man, a drop can make people's faces instantly full of pockmarks, the only antidote is to wash the face with vinegar, and the pockmarks will instantly retreat." ”

Nangong Yi'er didn't seem to have recovered from the story just now, thinking that her mother's family and the nurse were all from the snowy country, and her grandparents died under such circumstances.

The nurse seemed to know that Nangong Yi'er was absent-minded, hugged her and said: "Miss Seven, this is all in the past, the only hope for the nurse now is that Miss Seven will marry a good family in the future and live a peaceful and stable life, I originally wanted to wait for the other ladies in Nangong Mansion to get married, and tell you the truth to restore your appearance, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you so early." ”

Hugged by the nurse, Nangong Yi'er finally came to her senses, hugged the nurse and said with relief: "Nurse, I have suffered you all these years, and now that Yi'er has grown up and has her own ideas, let Yi'er honor you well in the future." The nurse smiled happily, although she knew that the current Miss Seven did not have that ability, but she was satisfied with this filial piety.

Nangong Yi'er let go of her hand, looked back at the small bottle that the nurse said, and asked curiously: "Nurse, is there only one bottle of this pock-faced person?" ”

The nurse said: "I have a formula, as long as the conditions allow, I can continue to mix." ”

Nangong Yi'er was overjoyed when she heard this, and made up her mind: "Then this bottle, can you give it to Yi'er, don't worry, Yi'er swears that she will never let others know her true face, and she wants to see what she looks like." ”

The nurse thinks about it because of her selfishness, so that Miss Seven can't see her true face, so that in the past ten years, she has been living in an ugly inferiority complex, and even being bullied and looked down upon, what reason do you have not to agree, even if you destroy this secret recipe, you won't blink an eye.

The nurse said: "Then Miss Seven will deal with it, but the nurse still reminds you that if you want to see the true face, you should choose to be safe at night." Xiao Dong also knows about this, and you also know that girl has been eccentric since she was a child. At that time, it was strange to see that I didn't put vinegar on her!

After all, she was specially arranged by me to serve you, and I didn't think I could hide it from her for long, so I told her the reason, and this girl also knew the severity, and she kept her mouth shut for five years, so I was more at ease. Now that she knows everything, the nurse will go and get busy first. ”

After watching the nurse go out, the maid Xiaodong hurriedly came over and said, "Miss, I just accidentally heard your speech, since the nurse told the truth to the young lady, Xiaodong will bring the vinegar over at night, okay?" ”

Nangong Yi'er rewarded her with a violent shudder, and pretended to be angry and said: "I have hidden it from your young lady for five years, and she is really bold." ”

Xiao Dong touched his head aggrievedly and said: "It's not for the good of Miss, do you know that Xiao Dong and I have been curious about Miss's appearance to death in the past few years, and I want to put vinegar in the washbasin every time, but as soon as I think of the nurse's words, Xiao Dong gives up, even if I am curious, I have to endure until other young ladies get married." ”

Nangong Yi'er suddenly burst out laughing, this girl really said what she thought in her heart, after knowing the truth, not only Xiao Dong was curious, but even she herself was curious, so she said to Xiao Dong: "For the sake of your loyal protector for so many years, your young lady will fulfill your wishes tonight, okay?" ”

When Xiao Dong heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Miss, this is what you said, don't regret it, Xiao Dong has to hurry up and work now." After speaking, he ran out happily, as if he was afraid that Nangong Yi'er would regret it.

Although it is summer, this bamboo forest garden is not very hot, and there is a slight cool breeze blowing, which is very cool on the body. Nangong Yi'er lay leisurely on the chaise longue and fanned the breeze, rested for a while, and looked at the sky It was already noon, and this time was the most loose time for the family to inspect during the day.

The maid Xiaodong is estimated to be working hard because she wants to see her true face, and she will not come back for a lunch break, and it is estimated that she will not come back until dinner time, so this is the best time for Nangong Yi'er to spy on the bamboo forest.

Sneaking out of the hole under the wall, what came into view was the sparse bamboo forest, and the traces of what she and Xiaodong had cut that night. It's just that these bamboo forests are still four or five meters away from the wall, stepping on the weeds under his feet, Nangong Yi'er is getting deeper and deeper, and not far ahead, you can see that there is a very dense bamboo forest, just when Nangong Yi'er walked to the boundary between the sparse bamboo forest and the dense bamboo forest, it suddenly stopped.

She actually saw a very familiar and rare plant - mandala, according to the introduction of modern herbal medicine, this plant is a kind of narcotic herb, the whole body is highly poisonous, its leaves, flowers, seeds can be used in medicine.

And it has grown a large area, for her who is studying medicine, these plants are even more pleasing to her at this moment, after all, she can only see them in books before, and now the real ones are really exciting in front of her, if you use them to heal the sick, then the silver is not in vain.

There is nothing mysterious about looking up at this bamboo forest again, isn't it just sparse bamboo to dense bamboo, nothing to see, let alone make a few dollars, and it caused her to walk so far that her feet began to hurt. is still the mandala in front of me is cute, just wait for her to destroy the flowers with her hot hands.

After nearly an hour, Nangong Yi'er finally tied up the mandala with vines and packed it successfully. If you want to ask her what method she used to pick the mandala full of poison, that is, a few sharp bamboos, because the mandala is generally not deeply rooted, a little loosening the soil, and it can be pulled out with a bamboo clip, which is actually quite simple.

However, because of the large number, Nangong Yi'er was also tired, so in the end he could only drag these mandalas back.

After dinner, the maid Xiaodong quickly cleaned up and went out, and after a while, she brought a basin of washing water in her hand, and said with a smile: "Miss, hurry up and come over to wash your face, Xiaodong really wants to see it." ”

Nangong Yi'er smiled and said, "Yes, but Xiaodong, you have to promise your young lady a condition, otherwise you won't wash it." ”

Xiao Dong didn't care about any conditions, and hurriedly urged: "Miss, you just hurry up and wash it, you can agree to any conditions Xiao Dong will, it's okay." ”

Nangong Yi'er immediately stood up and said, "Xiaodong, this is what you said, don't regret it then." Xiao Dong hurriedly nodded and promised, and continued to urge.

I saw her young lady walk to the dresser and come over to wash her face, splashing water on her face over and over again, and finally wiping it with a towel. But the towel was not taken away on his face for a long time, Xiaodong was even more excited, and Nangong Yi'er also took a deep breath in her heart.

Suddenly took the towel away, only to see the maid Xiaodong saw her appearance the moment she gasped, and the person was petrified, if you look carefully at Xiaodong's face, you will find that there are two suspicious blush on her face, and her eyes are even more demented.

Nangong Yi'er was a little shocked by Xiao Dong's expression, is her appearance so exaggerated? When he moved to the mirror, he was immediately startled, but he quickly accepted it, just like when he saw an ugly pockmarked face, the frequency of mood fluctuations was the same. It's just that one is extremely poor, the other is excellent, and it must be nonsense to ask her which face she likes, of course the choice is excellent.

However, the face reflected in the mirror is really beautiful and thrilling, revealing the true complexion on her face, which is as white as porcelain jade, and her skin is even more blown. Subconsciously, Nangong Yi'er didn't make a fuss about this appearance, as if this should be what she should be.

With such a look, it's no wonder that the nurse is nervous. Indeed, compared to her modern appearance, this appearance is a step higher.

Looking at Xiao Dong, who was still in a stupid state, Nangong Yi'er said loudly: "Xiao Dong, saliva is about to flow out!" ”

Xiao Dong woke up when he heard this, and immediately reacted to wipe his saliva, and he didn't wipe the saliva that Miss said for a long time, and finally reacted in hindsight: "Miss, you are so bad, you actually lied to me." ”

Nangong Yi'er laughed out loud, Xiao Dong immediately shook her eyes again, and saw that Xiao Dong had not yet settled down, so she immediately said: "Xiao Dong, I remember that you just said that you promised your young lady any conditions, and now start to cash it out." ”

Xiao Dong couldn't react a little, and after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to remember that she really said it, and blamed her for being too impatient just now, and it didn't seem to be a good thing to look at Miss's expression. Xiao Dong suddenly had a feeling of getting on a thief ship, and said timidly: "Miss, what are the conditions?" ”

Nangong Yi'er said: "Go out of the house to play." ”

Xiao Dong hurriedly said: "Miss, you are crazy, with our current situation, the master will definitely not allow us to leave the house." ”

Nangong Yi'er held back a glance at Xiao Dong and said: "Who said that if you go out of the house, you have to tell him that we will go out of the house secretly from the hole we dug in the wall, and your young lady has already figured out the route, and it will be fine." ”

Xiao Dong immediately became messy and shouted, "Miss, you can't do this, if we are discovered, we will die." ”

Nangong Yi'er said: "Xiaodong, don't you want to go out of the house to see the night scene outside?" Isn't it boring to be stuck in this house all day? It's not a big deal to go with your young lady to meet the outside world, and we both smashed this wall, it's not that no one has found out, and I'm afraid of going out of the house. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Dong's excited heart calmed down a lot, and she felt that what Miss said seemed to make sense, and she was a little shaken, because she really wanted to go out to see the outside world more, she had been in the house for so many years, and she was tired of it, and Miss was not afraid, what else did she worry about as a subordinate, she had to believe in her young lady.

I saw Xiao Dong's eyes firmly said, "Miss, Xiao Dong will accompany you out of the house!" ”

Nangong Yi'er said with a smile: "Xiaodong, you go back now and inform the nurse that I want to rest early, so that she can find me tomorrow if she has something, and then go to the housekeeper to borrow two sets of old men's clothes, just say that the nurse wants, in fact, you have to take the clothes to your young lady, we have to go out in disguise as a man, so as not to be recognized by others, understand." ”

Xiao Dong saw that Miss was so thoughtful, and when she heard the order, she immediately went to do it.
