Chapter 9: The Hungry Virgin
Ah Yao's mouth is like a river, gushing endlessly. Seeing that Mei Fei didn't respond for a long time, she looked up and found that she had fallen asleep.
Ah Wan put down the gadgets in her hand in frustration, and lightly picked up the cloak and covered Mei Fei's body. She sat quietly on the side, carefully looking at Mei Fei's sleeping face, and was annoyed and moved for a while.
There are thousands of girls recruited this time, and Sister Mei came all the way, but I am afraid that it will not be satisfactory. I didn't sleep well in the carriage and horses, and after arriving at Zhiyang Palace, I was afraid that I was still worried about her safety. How easy is it to find out from thousands of people? But Sister Mei found her for the first time, how should she repay this feeling?
Unconsciously, Ah Wei's eyes turned red. She took a deep breath and secretly swore in her heart that although the road ahead was dangerous, if she lived for a day, she would protect Sister Mei and Brother Yan for a day. Only they are her relatives here.
Mei Fei slept a little deeply. It was not until it was getting dark that the maid came in to take charge of the lamp and accidentally knocked over the candlestick, and she was awakened.
Mei Fei woke up and saw that the palace maids were holding the lamp, and couldn't help rubbing her eyes, and then she was sure that it was really dark. Hurriedly took off the cloak on his shoulders and put it on the case, wanting to get up and say goodbye to Ah Yao. But after kneeling and sitting for a long time, her legs were a little numb, and when she was about to fall to the ground, Ah Wei hurriedly rushed over to help her, and said angrily: "Sister Mei, you are sleeping in a daze again." ”
One and another word, the love between the two is fully revealed.
Mei Fei smiled: "Didn't I know you would hold me!" As she spoke, she could only hold Ah Yan's shoulders and kick her legs back and forth.
Ah Wei covered her lips and smiled: "Fortunately, I'm old now and can support you." ”
Mei Fei moved for a while before she was able to stand on her own. She looked at the dancing candle flame and felt a little hungry. So he turned his head and asked Ah Wei, "Do you have anything to eat here?"
When Ah Wei heard her ask, she also felt a little hungry. Then he reacted and said incredulously: "It seems that no one has brought me food!"
Mei Fei frowned and said uncertainly: "Is this planning to starve you to death?"
Ah Wei thought to herself, Zhao Zheng would not be like this. Thinking that being alone in a hall is already the most conspicuous existence in Zhiyang Palace, there is no other place to deliver food, and she is the only one who misses the truth here. Shaking his head, he said, "I'm afraid that it won't be sent anywhere else." ”
When Mei Fei heard this, she stretched her brows, as long as it wasn't aimed at Ah Yan.
Ah Wei suggested: "I'm just afraid of falling out in front of me, why don't we go over and have a look?"
Mei Fei nodded, and then the two of them realized that they didn't have palace maids. I wanted to walk at night, but I didn't even have a servant with a lantern.
The two of you, look at me, I'll look at you, Mei Fei couldn't help but scold: "Is this to leave us to fend for ourselves?"
Even though Ah Wei is very smart, she can't analyze what the situation is for a while. Seeing that no one could go out with a lantern, he had no choice but to give up for a while. Seeing Mei Fei unconsciously touched her stomach, she hurriedly said, "I still have some dry food, why don't you give you the bottom first?"
Mei Fei nodded, and Ah Wei went into the inner room to look for dry food. Fortunately, the candle in the inner room has been lit by the palace maid, otherwise she is afraid that her eyes will be blackened tonight. Ah Wan took the dry food and went to the outhouse to hand it to Mei Fei. Mei Fei was not polite, she took it and wanted to enjoy it exclusively, and saw that Ah Wei was empty-handed, so she hurriedly divided the corn cake into two and handed half of it to Ah Yao.
Ah Wan shook her head and signaled not to eat.
Mei Fei insisted, Ah Wei had to take the half of the corn, and then tore it into small pieces with her hands, and the pieces made a case.
Mei Fei saw the "poof" and smiled, Ah Wei knew that she was laughing at her uneven technique, so she hurriedly sent a small piece to Mei Fei's mouth, and said with a smile: "Take it and gag it." ”
Mei Fei smiled and opened her mouth to take it, thinking that she kept laughing again, but she was choked because of this, and she coughed darkly for a while.
Seeing this, Ah Wei hurriedly put down the corn cake, took the kettle on the case and wanted to pour a glass of water for Mei Fei, and then found that even the kettle was empty. Seeing that Mei Fei was really uncomfortable, she hurriedly abandoned the kettle and ran over to pat her on the back. After tossing for a long time, Mei Fei relieved herself.
Seeing that Mei Fei had eased up, Ah Wei was relieved. thought to herself, if she choked Mei Fei to death because of this piece of corn, I am afraid that she will not regret it in this life.
Mei Fei picked up the kettle on the case, shook it, and then put it down, laughing at herself: "It's okay if you don't give you food, you don't even give water, they really treat us as immortals?"
"Immortals, immortals......" Ah Wei repeated the word, and her expression suddenly brightened. She suddenly said seriously: "Sister Mei, I may have guessed their intentions. ”
Seeing that Ah Wei was like this, Mei Fei hurriedly put down the kettle and became colorful.
"Great Qin recruited us to train me to be an acolyte of the immortals. Seeing Mei Fei's confused expression, Ah Wei had to add, "You start with the word waiter." ”
Mei Fei's expression suddenly changed, and she said angrily: "They want us to learn how to serve others?"
Seeing this, Ah Wei shook her head: "The ideal of the Tao that can be killed and not humiliated must be known by the Qin State." How should the immortals' attendants be, who knows? Qin Guo will definitely not humiliate us in this matter. ”
Mei Fei was still a little indignant when she heard this.
Ah Wei pondered for a while before she said, "Daqin must want us to be self-sufficient. ”
Mei Fei was stunned when she heard this, and then showed a wry smile. Self-sufficiency, of course, cannot be considered humiliation. But they are all gods and nobles, they have always stretched out their hands for clothes and opened their mouths for food, and they don't want a good identity, who wants to learn what self-sufficiency? But if they don't learn and refuse to bow their heads, it seems that there is really no way to serve the immortals?
What Mei Fei thought of, Ah Wei naturally thought of it. She couldn't help but lie lazily on the table, looking at the corn cake that she had torn out of shape, and thought to herself, she couldn't even divide the cake, and asked her to be self-sufficient.......
"He might as well just take a knife and kill us. Ah Lou muttered dissatisfiedly.
Mei Fei has always been lazy, and when she thinks that she may have to be self-sufficient in the future, she is also worried for a while. I had to take a chance and said, "What if you guessed wrong? What if you didn't deliver food here today, but just happened to be forgotten." ”
Ah Wei could see that she couldn't get a fluke idea, and hurriedly pointed to the candlestick: "No, they didn't forget to give me the lamp." ”
So Mei Fei stopped talking.
Ah Wei looked at the corn cake on the case and asked, "Sister Mei, do you still eat it?"
Mei Fei shook her head: "You won't die of hunger, and if you don't have water to go back and choke again, it's troublesome." ”
Ah Wei nodded, and then tossed the cake on the table to a corner with her hand. She has always been smart, but she never expected to fall into such an embarrassing situation one day.
In fact, because of Mei Fei, Ah Wei found that it was too late when no one delivered the meal, and it was dark, and they didn't dare to go out without anyone to guide them. However, other girls who had never slept for an hour found that no one had brought food over when they arrived at You, so they rushed to Xu Zhangshi to ask for their guilt, and were finally sent back by Xu Zhangshi with a few words.
Xu Zhangshi's words were roughly the same as Ah Wei's speculation, but he told in more detail where to get food, where to get water, and where to learn the rules......
A very small number of girls are very aware of current affairs, and immediately asked the palace maid to lead the way and go to get dinner in person, most of them are really hungry, and they have to bow their heads under the eaves. A small number of girls immediately brushed their sleeves away when they heard what Xu Zhangshi said about self-sufficiency, they had the dignity of being nobles, how could they do these menial things that were usually done by servants? More of them hesitated, standing collectively outside Steward Xu's house, as if they wanted to protest silently, until it was dark, and then they went back to the house.
Therefore, it is not only Ah Wei and Mei Fei who are hungry tonight.
