Chapter 12: Life History (I)
"Little fish?" "Me?" Madame and Xiaoyu exclaimed almost simultaneously. Although he was already mentally prepared, when Yue Gongzi clearly pointed out himself, Xiao Yu's heart was still beating wildly.
I don't know what medicine is sold in Gongzi's gourd this month, and I don't know if this thing is a curse or a blessing. In this hierarchical ancient world, Xiaoyu felt so small, so small that he could not control his own destiny, and could only be at the mercy of others.
At this time, Moon Gongzi was already talking about what needed to be done next. "First of all, it is necessary that the young lady and this uh-little fish girl eat and live together until the age of fifteen, and cannot be separated, in order to borrow this girl's luck to nourish the young lady's luck; Secondly, the girl's flesh and blood relatives are not allowed to be in this house, and the girl is not allowed to meet her close relatives before the age of fifteen, which will hurt the peace of heaven and blood, and the lady needs to take good care of the girl's relatives. Thirdly, the lady needs to accept this girl as a righteous daughter, and the family should be treated as a young lady, because she has to make up for her life, so the status and treatment of this girl must be the same as that of the young lady. Fourth, every ten days I will come to strengthen the young lady's heart, and at the same time I will give the young lady some diet and exercise prescriptions, and the young lady must live and eat according to my prescription. If one of them can't be done, Madame will ask for another master. ”
After Yue Gongzi finished speaking, Mrs. said: "You can do everything that Gongzi says, but I still need to ask Xiaoyu if she is willing." ”
After speaking, the lady took Xiao Yu's hand and said to Xiao Yu kindly: "Xiao Yu, I know that you are a good girl, and you have always been very dedicated to Heng'er. You also heard what Yue Gongzi said just now, I need you to be separated from your mother for three years, are you willing? I'm also a mother myself, and I know that it's really hard for you to separate your flesh and blood, but you also heard it just now, if you don't use this method of prolonging life, Pan'er is afraid that she won't live for a few days. As she spoke, tears welled up in her face.
Madame took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears, and said: "If you agree, don't worry, I have a small house in the west of the capital, your mother can move there, and I will arrange for a girl to serve her, so that your mother can live comfortably." If you don't say it, I will repair the book tomorrow and tell the master, as long as the master agrees, I will recognize the daughter, so that all households in the capital will know that from now on you are the daughter of my Hou Mansion. At the end of the three-year contract, I will return the deed of sale between you and your mother, as long as you are willing to be my Miss Hou Mansion and Pan'er's sister, when the time comes, you are willing to go out of the mansion to live with your mother or take your mother back to the Hou Mansion to support, we have no opinion. Xiaoyu, what other conditions do you say. ”
Xiaoyu originally had a faint feeling for the nurse, but she felt that she wanted to let the nurse live a good life from the point of responsibility, and now she felt that it was good to have a chance to get out of slavery. Anyway, there are only three years, and after three years, she can leave the Hou Mansion and live a free life.
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, and then said to Madame: "Madam, the slave maid has three conditions, if Madame agrees, the slave and maid will agree to the request of Yue Gongzi. The lady was overjoyed and said in a loud voice: "Please speak, please speak, but if I can do it, I will definitely agree." ”
Xiao Yu said slowly: "First, the people who serve my mother need to get newly bought slaves and maids, which I personally select, and their deeds need to be kept by me, and I will regularly report to me on my mother's living conditions every month. The lady agreed: "This is no problem, tomorrow I will ask people to lead people to you to choose." ”
"Second, this method of replenishing qi must not endanger my life or leave any hidden diseases." As soon as Xiao Yu's words fell, Yue Gongzi said: "You can rest assured that this is not harmful to your health, and maybe there are benefits." ”
"Third, return my deed of sale to my mother and me after three years, and let us go wherever we want." Mrs. said: "No problem, no problem, if you want to do a small business at that time, I can give you a shop, and you can also convert it into cash."
Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "There is no evidence, please ask Mrs. to make a note." Mrs. looked at Xiao Yu in surprise and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu, I really didn't expect that you are not big, and you have a lot of ghost eyes." Don't worry, why would I deceive you, this little girl, if it weren't for the fact that Yue Gongzi said that you were the only one who met the requirements, why would I break up your mother and daughter. After speaking, he asked Zi Yan to write the note according to what Yue Gongzi and Xiao Yu said, in duplicate.
Xiao Yu was glad that she had learned traditional Chinese from Zi Yan before, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to understand the notes. Seeing that the notes were clearly expressed according to the opinions of both parties, when Mrs. used the seal, Xiaoyu also took a copy of the handprint and put it in his arms.
The lady ordered the nurse to come over and explain the situation to her. The nurse was already shocked by the sudden news.
"Small... Miss" As soon as the nurse spit out the word from her mouth, Xiao Yu intercepted the words and said: "Mother, even if I become the young lady of the Hou Mansion, it is still your daughter, how can I call my own mother Miss Daughter." The nurse understood that she had lost her words, so she covered it up and said: "Hey, isn't my mother suddenly dizzy with joy?" But Xiaoyu, from now on, you will be alone in the Hou Mansion, and you will stay for three years, how can you let me rest assured", the nurse said and shed tears.
"Mother, I will often send you letters in the future, don't worry, it will be my people who will serve you when the time comes." Xiaoyu took the nurse's hand and said warm and relieved.
"Okay, Xiaoyu, you and your mother should hurry up and pack up your things and talk well. Tonight, you will move to Pan'er's side to live, I will ask them to clean up the room for you, everything will be compared to Pan'er's treatment, and I will repair the book to Hou Ye. My yard won't be cleaned up for a while, so I will first wronged your mother to live in the Hou Mansion for two days, and then move over when the yard is cleaned up. Madame began to assign tasks in a resolute manner. Yue Gongzi said goodbye: "When you make arrangements according to what I said, I will send someone to inform you, and I will come over to tell you what to do next." ”
Xiaoyu accompanied the nurse all the way back to the lower courtyard. "Miss, what's going on, why did you become a lady?" As soon as the door of the room was closed, the nurse couldn't wait to take Xiaoyu's hand and ask.
"I arranged it." A voice suddenly came from the window, and Xiao Yu saw a flower in front of him, and a white shadow appeared in front of him.
"Mom, ghost", Xiaoyu screamed in shock, and the nurse was so shocked that she sat back on the ground and couldn't speak. Xiao Yu hurriedly squatted down, while supporting the nurse, while looking up at the white shadow. I saw the white shadow say, "Who is a ghost and who is a ghost, you can see who I am." Xiao Yu fixed his eyes and saw that the man who reflected the sun's brilliance and was as warm as a bamboo was not who Yue Gongzi was.
"Who are you, and why are you arranging it this way?" Xiao Yu asked suspiciously.
"It seems that the nurse has not told you the real life story yet", the man sighed slightly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at the nurse: "Nurse, what is your background?" What are you hiding from me? ”。 The nurse held Xiaoyu's shoulder, stood up tremblingly, and asked Yue Gongzi: "You, you are an old man from Xiyue." "Exactly", after speaking, Yue Gongzi took out a small seal and handed it to the nurse.
The nurse took the seal, looked at it carefully for a while, and then carefully took out an embroidered handkerchief from her bosom. The nurse took the scissors again, and slowly cut the square embroidered cloth, it turned out that there was a square cloth in the embroidered cloth, and the square cloth was embroidered with a golden square pattern.
The nurse compared, then handed the seal and the handkerchief to Xiaoyu, and said, "Miss, take a closer look to see if the pattern on the handkerchief is exactly the same as the pattern of the seal." ”。
Xiaoyu took the seal, the seal is carved with Tian Huangshi, the seal button is coiled with nine teeth and claws of the dragon, the seal is engraved with a few twists and turns, and the pattern on the handkerchief is exactly the same.
"This is my Xiyue script, and this pattern is the symbol of the Xiyue royal family," the nurse muttered as she looked at the seal. It turned out that Xiaoyu was originally the princess of Xiyue, and when the city was broken, it was Chen Shangshu of the Xiyue Ministry who exchanged his daughter for the princess, and the nurse took her to find a way out of the capital.
"What about my father and Chen Shangshu?" Xiaoyu suddenly understood that the nightmare was not a dream, but a real memory, but she couldn't remember it at all.
The nurse shook her head: "I heard that the king and the mother both set themselves on fire and died in the palace, and Chen Shangshu was also killed when the Datan army attacked the palace." ”
"What about Chen Shangshu's daughter?" , Xiaoyu asked eagerly. "Probably dead, too." The nurse hesitated and said, "On the way to escape, I heard that three bodies were found, one large and one small. Speaking of this, the nurse couldn't help crying.
"And what's going on with the fire in my dream?" Xiao Yu asked puzzled.
The nurse sighed and said, "Originally, Chen Shangshu hid us in a remote place in the palace, ready to wait for an opportunity to send us out of the city. Who knows, or if the father and daughter are connected, when the king lights a fire, you rush over, and I can't catch up with you after me. If it weren't for Commander Li's timely arrival, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been spared. "I see." The little fish listened attentively. "It's a pity that Commander Li also ...... in order to protect us out of the city," the nurse's voice choked.
"And what is your identity? Why? I just heard that the little fish who didn't care about the horror of his life experience was aggressive towards Yue Gongzi.
"My master has always been secretly guarding the king, and before I went down the mountain, my master told me to find the princess and protect the princess well." Yue Gongzi's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he looked at Xiao Yu intently.
"Then you have no evidence, how can you believe that it is me?" Xiao Yu stepped forward and forced his eyes at Yue Gongzi. Yue Gongzi's eyes suddenly sharpened, staring at Xiao Yu scorchingly: "Don't forget, I will look at the luck, the princess's luck is different from ordinary people, not to mention ......" Yue Gongzi's eyes suddenly became elusive, "Not to mention that you still have an adventure."
