Chapter 23
These words come from a ninety-five honor, which is really incredible.
An imperceptible coldness flashed on Huo Weilou's face, and then disappeared, replaced by a chuckle and a noncommittal expression.
Without getting a clear response, the emperor put the topic aside for the time being, watched the high-quality tea, and gossiped with Huo Weilou about some inconsequential things, and Huo Weilou left the palace.
said that Shen Xinyue returned to the bedroom after leaving Huo Weilou's study.
Seeing that Shen Xinyue looked sullen and unhappy, and that her clothes were stained with some dust, the maid Siqi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Miss Shen, what's wrong with you?" Could it be that I also fell? β
"Nope. Well, catch the mouse. Shen Xinyue said happily.
Catch a mouse?
Si Qi looked at Shen Xinyue in disbelief, and let himself stand up to the big sun, and had the courage to send breakfast to the prince, and he had to ask to accidentally fall down and sigh loudly when he was about to arrive at the study, just to let her slip into the prince's study to catch a mouse?
Why don't you believe it so much!
However, if her master doesn't do something surprising, it won't be her.
So, Zhang Luo took Shen Xinyue to change his clothes, and Si Qi took the dirty clothes he had replaced to the Huan Washroom.
When she came back, Shen Xinyue was sitting on a chair staring at the ceiling in a daze, smiled, and asked, "Girl, what are you thinking?" β
"Hmm~ nothing~ What do you say the prince is doing in the study at this time?" Shen Xinyue didn't know why she had this question, it was completely subconscious.
Si Qi replied: "Oh, I saw the prince go out on the way back just now, and I heard that the emperor in the palace summoned him. β
"Oh~ It's out......" Shen Xinyue looked listless, sitting on the chair and swinging her two slender calves boringly.
She suddenly felt that Huo Weilou was not in the mansion, and the whole palace was meaningless, maybe it was because there was no one to tease?
Shen Xinyue was a little dazed.
Seeing Shen Xinyue's uninterested appearance, Si Qi smiled, and then thought of something to talk to her, "Girl, I heard that you know some medical skills?" β
"That's right. How do you know, though? It seems that since Si Qi came, Shen Xinyue has never fiddled with those herbs, and the few medicines he used were all made before.
"What the prince said, when the prince asked the slave maid to serve the girl, he said that the girl knows medical skills, and often goes to pick some herbs by herself, which is hard and dangerous.
Therefore, the prince told the slave maid at that time that if you want to serve the girl, not only those daily tasks must be done, but if the girl also goes out to collect herbs, the dirty work and tiring slaves and maids must also do it for the girl. When Si Qi said these words, he actually had a proud little look on his face.
How could they hear this, as if Si Qi was willing to serve her, and they didn't know her before......
"So, you came here on your own initiative?" Shen Xinyue asked strangely.
"Yes and no."
Si Qi still has a cute little appearance, "Girl, don't you know, I am not like other slaves and maids, I was sold into the house by my family, I was actually rescued by the prince." β
"Rescued?" Shen Xinyue was interested, and looked at Si Qi with big eyes flickering, waiting for her to continue.
Si Qi nodded, "Yes." The slave's family was not here in the capital, but in a small village next to the Huangsha River. When I was about seven or eight years old, the Huangsha River flooded and flooded the whole village, and my family was swept away by the flood......
"The prince can swim, and then saved you?" Shen Xinyue said assumedly.
"It's not. I didn't meet the prince at that time. The slave and maid did not know where they had gone, but then they fainted from cold and hunger, and when they woke up, they had already arrived in a strange place.
The people there are also poor. Slaves and maids have to curry favor for a long time before they can get a mouthful of food, barely survive, and sometimes they go to compete with pigs and dogs for food......"
The difficult past came to mind, and Si Qi's expression was obviously depressed.
Shen Xinyue wanted to know what happened later, but she couldn't reveal other people's scars, so she held her small hands and said softly: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it." β
Si Qi shook his head, and then said, "It's okay, these are all in the past. Then one day, the slave and maid came to the door of a large house, and the little master of the family came out to play and bully the slave and maid...... Alas...... At that time, I knew what life was better than death, and the slave maid thought at that time, it was really better to live like this.
So he tried all his strength to hit the big lion at the door of the house, but was saved by the prince. β
"Later, you went back to the palace with the prince?" Shen Xinyue asked.
"Yes. But after coming to the palace, the prince did not raise the slave and maid as a subordinate, saying that I was too young and had lost my human form with hunger, so I would raise the ones with good food and drink, and only when I was older did I do something with the people in the palace.
The prince's kindness to the slave and maid, the slave and the maid can't pay it off in this life, so he always tells the prince that he wants to help him do more, and he is not afraid of no matter how hard and tired he is.
After the girl came, the prince asked me one day if I could serve the girl well. Of course the slave and maid are willing, not only is it not hard work to serve the girl, but according to the slave maid, it is a beautiful difference. Moreover, the prince is very fond of the girl, so serving the girl, the slave and maid feel that they have also helped the prince. β
Speaking of this, Si Qi's tone was no longer as low and sad as before, but full of joy.
Shen Xinyue looked at Si Qi distressedly, it was hard to imagine the appearance of a seven or eight-year-old girl who escaped death, and her heart was infinitely sad.
But it is not difficult to imagine that in such a situation, he was rescued by Huo Weilou and lived a life that was very different from before, and Si Qi was grateful from the bottom of his heart.
arranging such a grateful and reliable person as Si Qi to serve himself, Huo Weilou is also well-intentioned.
Thinking like this, the haze on Shen Xinyue's face was swept away, and she was sincerely happy, "Si Qi, thank you." In this world, you have no relatives, and I ...... Well, my relatives are not around, although you and I are not called sisters, but I treat you as my own sister. β
Hearing Shen Xinyue say this, Si Qi was so excited that he almost burst into tears, and he couldn't even speak.
Sisters - best friends.
Shen Xinyue suddenly thought of modern words, and her bright eyes turned, "Si Qi, do you know that in our place, sisters of the opposite sex like you and me can still be called girlfriends, and what is the favorite thing for girlfriends to do?" β
"Girlfriends? What is your favorite thing to do? Si Qi asked curiously.
"It's shopping." Shen Xinyue laughed, "I haven't gone out shopping for a long time, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's go out shopping now." β
Anyway, Huo Weilou is not in the mansion, and it is really boring to stay in the mansion.
Go shopping, look at the dazzling objects in the bazaar, and think about what girl can not love?
Of course, it responded positively.
Under the leadership of Si Qi, the two of them came to the most prosperous street in the capital.
Sure enough, it lived up to Shen Xinyue's expectations, there were many shops on the street, and tourists were weaving, and it was very lively.
This ancient street market is completely different from the modern one, there is no earth-shattering music, no colorful neon lights.
Some are the cries of authentic vendors, and some are antique shop signs.
Shen Xinyue fell in love as soon as she came, shouted a few wows in her heart, and said excitedly to Si Qi: "Compared with the modern street market, this is really a different scene." Walking here, I feel like I'm walking into a painting, so unreal. β
Si Qi was confused and asked, "Girl, aren't you from Jiangnan?" Where is modern age? β
Poof-Shen Xinyue almost burst out laughing, feeling that it was not easy to explain, so she quickly pulled Si Qi's sleeve and dragged it to a stall selling small jewelry to distract her, "Si Qi, you see, how beautiful these handmade small jewelry are." β
Si Qi didn't dwell on the question just now, and his attention was immediately attracted by the small jewelry that girls loved, and he looked at it with Shen Xinyue.
In ancient times, the jewelry sold by such itinerant stalls was just some simple and inexpensive silver jewelry, such as those inlaid with pearls, agate, jade, and other luxurious jewelry were sold in those shops.
Shen Xinyue picked and picked a pair of cloisonne earrings, although the thing was small, but it looked elegant, she picked it up and asked Si Qi, "Si Qi, what do you think of this pair of cloisonne earrings?" β
"It's beautiful, girl, and it's worthy of the dress you're wearing today." Si Qi said.
"This is for you." Shen Xinyue said with a smile, and then compared the earrings to Si Qi's ear, which looked pretty good.
The shopkeeper echoed on the side: "This girl has good eyesight, and this pair of cloisonnΓ© earrings is the best pair I have here, only three hundred yuan." That's it. It's just right for this girl. β
Shen Xinyue immediately decided to buy it, but when she wanted to get the money, she suddenly realized that she had no money at all.
Isn't it, since entering the palace, everything for food and clothing is ready-made, and there is no need to spend money to buy anything at all.
Therefore, the thing of money, since she traveled to ancient times, has been completely ignored.
In fact, the last time she went to "Lanyuan Restaurant", Shen Xinyue had already encountered this problem, but fortunately, the private room was fully covered by Huo Weilou at that time, and she did not make it, so the lesson was not so profound.
And this time, the embarrassment is a little bigger.
Shen Xinyue was stunned with an earring in her hand, and a sense of loss came suddenly.
Si Qi saw the problem, and quickly took the pair of cloisonnΓ© earrings in her hand with a smile, put them back in the stall, and said with a smile: "Girl, you also know that I don't wear this thing at all on weekdays." It's probably a heart disease to buy. It's not too early, so let's go to other places and get home early. β
Shen Xinyue was helpless, so she had to nod at the shopkeeper and leave with Si Qi.
She didn't even have a penny on her body, this cruel fact shocked Shen Xinyue's brain, making her shopping not as excited as she was just now.
Yes, after shopping for a long time, this is still a situation she has never had.
The two of them walked for a while, and Shen Xinyue proposed to go home, so the two of them walked back.
As I walked, I found that there were a lot of people gathered outside the medical hall in front of me, and I couldn't see what was going on inside, but I could only hear someone crying.
Shen Xinyue frowned, could it be that there was a difficult doctor-patient relationship in ancient times?
So she called her boss and came closer to see it.
