Chapter 10 For whom a clear tear is shed
This expression was immediately seen by Fang Wu, and he hurriedly said with concern: "San Lang? Is there anything wrong? “
Fang Xingyao pointed out Xiao Yi's figure with a finger of his hand, and said with some dissatisfaction: "That's the girl in my room, I originally planned to talk to you tomorrow, so that I could be transferred to my new house to do things." Right now, I forgot for a while, why is she here now? ”
When Fang Wu heard this, his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled and flattered: "When you come to the medicine garden to do things, it is all a first-class beauty difference, and I don't know how many slaves and maids are rushing and fighting for inside and outside the family." The girl selected by Saburo can be chosen, but Saburo is really wise and prescient! However, it is a waste to use such a beautiful embryo to do such heavy chores. Now that she wants to make up the number of Tiangang, there are indispensable people inside and out, so she will fill in the ice for San Lang, right? After today, I will dial her into Saburo's room. ”
Fang Xing nodded when he heard this. Fang Wu's Zhang Luo made him very satisfied. I thought to myself, this Fang Wu is worthy of being a person who can get to this point, and he is still a little good at doing things and being a man. Then he thought again: "This can be regarded as an explanation to Xiao Yi." ”
Although Fang Xing and Fang Wu's voices were soft, at this moment, the Medicine King Hall was like a bell ringing in the silence of the night, not only causing the four Xuanyi women around them to look sideways, but even the maids who were far away also cast a hot look......
The clock was half a quarter of an hour ago.
The night did not recede, and the mist shrouded it.
Xiao Yi and a group of lucky people who were also carefully selected from the outer courtyard, followed by a woman in Xuanyi with a very indifferent expression, came all the way. In this kind of incomparable anticipation and longing, she no longer remembered what kind of mood she was in at that time, coming to this medicine garden, which was a mysterious place for her.
Just a quarter of an hour earlier, her uncle had suddenly awakened her from her sleep. Before he could say anything to her, the uncle led her to a strange room and handed her to the indifferent and arrogant women in Xuanyi. After that, it was another mess. She was first asked about her birthday and eight characters, then an embarrassing blood test, a body test, and finally a bath, incense, and a change of clothes. All these dazzling things made Xiao Yi's heart feel nervous.
- Could it be that Young Master Xing wants me to serve him so soon?
However, this thought, which made people blush unconsciously, quickly dissipated. After Xiaoyi met a few more companions, she realized that they were going to rush to the medicine garden to do things. This new news made Xiao Yi rejoice again after a burst of loss-that it was the medicine garden in the inner courtyard, and it was a blessing that it took several lifetimes to be selected to work there as an errand.
Xiao Yi still remembers the scene when several of their lucky ones got together to talk before they came. The girl with some freckles on her face seemed to show off and seemed to look forward to telling everyone that she had a good sister who used to work in the medicine garden told her that the medicinal herbs in the medicine garden are extremely rare, not to mention enjoying them, can you nourish people even if you take a breath of medicinal gas, a few more puffs can make people look better, your hair will be darker, your skin will be smoother, and even the spots on your face will disappear. If you do a good job, you can also get an elixir when you leave, and you can become as beautiful as the eldest lady in the family after eating it......
These words caused a lot of screaming and uproar. This kind of surprise even dilutes the shyness of checking the body before. These maids from the outer courtyard who came from the lowest backgrounds were full of deep expectations and surprises for this journey into the inner courtyard. Xiaoyi was also infected by this atmosphere, and like everyone else, she jumped and hugged each other, feeling heartfelt happiness for each other and their own future.
On the way, Xiao Yi looked left and right smartly, looking around with bright eyes in the dark, and secretly thought in his heart: "Is this the medicine garden?" That's a lot of medicine! It smells so good! If I work very hard to do everything well, will I be able to get that pill for my mother? The thoughts in her heart seemed to explode at that moment—on the way to the unknown and mysterious land, the rich medicinal fragrance slowly swam through the garden, warm as a mother's thick hands around her. Xiao Yi missed her mother very much at this moment - she was thinking about her mother's body......
At this time, a very cold voice suddenly said in my ear: "Don't look around!" Don't look around! Keep your head down and follow me. If you don't follow the rules, be careful and drive them all away! This is exactly the woman in the dark clothes with an indifferent expression who is training people.
The sadness in Xiao Yi's heart was suddenly blown away by this coldness, she lowered her head, looked at each other and smiled, secretly stuck out her tongue, and said secretly: "It's so fierce!" ”
That arrogant guy has long caused the dissatisfaction of these girls selected from the outer courtyard. Even Xiao Yi felt that she looked down on people too much - just now Xiao Yi wanted to call the Xuanyi woman 'sister' obediently, but she was frightened away by the other party's indifferent look.
Although she muttered in her heart, the fear of family rules and laws still made Xiaoyi and these girls who were at a lively and active age restrain their curiosity in their hearts - they finally came to the inner courtyard, but they couldn't be driven away like this. A group of people followed behind the Xuanyi woman with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and hurried away in silence with one foot high and one foot low.
And what about Xiaoyi? She seemed to be in a hurry single-mindedly, and she didn't have time to look around, but the light in the corner of her eyes did not forget to peek around. She always has a stronger curiosity about this mysterious medicine garden than others. Although there are black holes around, all kinds of flowers bloom in the field of vision illuminated by the lights.
These reminded Xiaoyi of the big green grass in her hometown. In the past, in that sea of green, there were dotted wildflowers, and she could run around in the field happily and freely, smelling the blooming flowers one by one. But right now, the various prohibitions in the family that are not allowed and that are not allowed deeply suppress her happiness and her longing for the medicine garden in the silent journey.
This made her feel that the beauty in front of her was far less beautiful than the wild land at home, just like the life in the Fang family was far less beautiful than she imagined. The original Xiaoyi was full of curiosity and eagerness for a family like the other party. Her home was far away in a remote place dozens of miles away from the Fang family's compound. In the past, the minions of the government were the most vicious, and they forced grain and rent every year, and they didn't know how many villagers had to suffer. Xiao Yi has been helping the family since she was seven years old, but she still has to pay more and more food every year, and the heavy burden makes the family's situation worse and worse.
Until four years ago, when Xiao Yi was ten years old, one day, suddenly two men riding tall horses broke into the village, erected a big stone monument and left. Since then, the minions of the government have never dared to come to the village, and everyone has only to hand in much less food than before, and life is getting better and better. In the winter of the second year, Xiaoyi could eat full and warm for the first time. Since then, the four big words 'East Square Home' have penetrated deeply into her immature life, making her think that she can find shelter and warmth there......
When her mother was seriously ill, she came to beg her uncle, who was said to be 'very powerful' in the Fang family, with a heart of expectation and worship, hoping to fulfill her dream in the Fang family. However, how cruel the reality is, life in the outer courtyard is far from being as good as she thought. The various intrigues among the slaves and the harsh rules of the big family also made Xiaoyi, a simple girl, grow up quickly. However, while she was precocious and swam like a fish in water in the gap between various things, she also missed her home all the time.
- Suspicion in the deep wall and high courtyard, where is the freedom and ease in the wilderness!
After walking for a long time, the legendary Medicine King Hall arrived. Near the door, Xiao Yi was called over by the woman in Xuanyi, and she and several maids who were also newly selected were all assigned to carry the big wooden barrels. These large pine barrels are half a person's height and contain half a block of ice in them, which are very heavy, and Xiao Yi is very difficult to lift. What's even more pitiful is that these big wooden barrels have not been painted, nor have they been polished well, and rough burrs abound on the handles, which are unbearable to death on Xiao Yi's white and tender hands.
However, these jobs are not much easier than the chores they have done at home before. Xiao Yi secretly thought in her heart that it would be good if she could work here every year. But they were only chosen to help out on the spur of the moment. The medicine garden is the weight of the Fang family's inner courtyard, where can these maids in the outer courtyard be touched, and now in order to make up the number of Tiangang, it is already a great blessing to let them come in and do things.
Although Xiao Yi felt a pity in her heart, with a new set of clothes, she might also get the legendary elixir, and she would be very satisfied with these. And she had another thought in her heart—there was a man who had promised her to take her away, to take her to the inner courtyard......
With a faint warmth in her heart, Xiaoyi struggled to move the barrel. Entering the Medicine King Hall, the giant tripod in front of her was conspicuously abnormal, and anyone who entered the hall could not help but be in a trance, Xiao Yi couldn't help but look at it before she stopped, she saw that there seemed to be a person sitting in it, revealing a head. It's just a little far away, and I can't see who it is. Xiao Yi secretly laughed in her heart: "Why did everyone get into the ding?" It's strange, is it to refine the living? ”
Just then, she heard a familiar voice come - "That's the girl in my room......"
Blinking, Xiao Yi couldn't believe what she was hearing. She couldn't help but look up, just in time to see the warm gaze that was staring at her. Xiao Yidi stood there and froze
- "I was going to talk to you tomorrow so that I could be transferred to my new house to do things......"
She bit her lip, and the slightest pain came, and the scene in front of her was real?
- "But it's a waste to use such a beautiful embryo to do such heavy chores......"
Xiao Yi was in the way, and someone behind complained, "Oh, why don't you go?" ”
- "After today, I'll dial her into Saburo's room." ”
The corners of her eyes were already a little moist unconsciously-the person in the Ding was actually him!
At this moment, she saw the man who had promised her and made her heart worry. It's like the sun rises from the darkness and brings her light.
At that moment, the warmth in my heart turned into tears in the corners of my eyes. I just don't know who this tear is for......
