Xinzheku

Zhaowen's first summer rain in ten years came a little earlier than usual.

As soon as the Yin hour passed, the rain was about to subside, and Xin Zheku's steward, Fu Aiou, rushed into the house with a whip in his hand, and lashed at the Datong shop indiscriminately.

The sleeping eunuchs pinched the orchid fingers, jumped up screaming, and shrank into a ball under the bright window.Only after Fu Sorrow was exhausted from the beating did she tremblingly jump down from the Datong shop and put on her clothes and hat.

The last one was Xiangjiu. Fu Aishou got angry when she saw her unhurried appearance, spat at her back, and scolded in a high-pitched voice: "You little bastards, don't think that it's raining so hard! You can be lazy without looking at your identity."

He raised his voice two octaves: "Xinzheku slave! The lowest eunuch! Not even qualified to lick the master's shoes!"

Someone secretly spat, you are so qualified.

Xiang Jiu glanced at that person, said nothing, her amber-like eyes were calm, she fell behind the others, opened the curtain and went out.

The sky was very dark, and the wind was strong. The rain was wrapped in the wind, and it was cold on her face.It was as if after washing my face with cold water, all the rest of the drowsiness was awakened.

Fu Aiyou's scolding continued, her short carrot-like figure was like a blunderbuss, with a mouth that was the muzzle, shooting out a series of cannonballs.

He took a deep breath, greeted everyone to stand in the yard, and assigned today's work.At the end of the assignment, the one most likely to die was assigned to Xiang Jiu—go to the West Sixth Palace to collect the Gong barrel.

Xiang Jiu didn't care at all, yawned quietly, went to the pool and pushed the trolley away.

As soon as she moved, the rest of the eunuchs followed suit, pushing carts out one by one.

It is said that the work of the West Sixth Palace is no different from that of other palaces, but it is still alive. At the beginning of this month, a new servant of Huang Jun arrived and moved into Xianfu Palace.

I heard that she is the empress dowager's own niece, the imperial concubine's own niece, and she has a bad temper.

Just one month after entering the palace, two servants were fined a hundred slabs, one was an embroiderer from an embroidery workshop, and the other was an eunuch who was a low-salary worker.

The former was weak and did not catch him, and died two days later, while the latter is still lying on the kang.

After passing the katydid gate, you will arrive at the West Sixth Palace.

She is a low-class slave and needs to go around the back door of each palace.The eunuchs and maids who were on duty at night opened the door for her, and waited until Gong Tong had collected all of the carts, then pinched her nose, as if chasing away flies, and let her go quickly.

Xiangjiu took it for granted, from Yongshou Palace all the way up, passing through Qixiang Palace, Yikun Palace... and finally arrived at Xianfu Palace, her mood suddenly became heavy like going to a grave, she hesitated for a while, and knocked on the door knocker resignedly.

The door is very narrow, only big enough for one person to pass through.The leading eunuch held a white gauze lantern and led her around two turns: "That's it."

He pointed to the location of the cleaning room, and told her to move quickly.

Xiangjiu said, "Brother, thank you for your hard work," and walked in. The fishy smell immediately hit her face, making her cry.Not wanting to delay any longer, he skillfully closed the lid of the barrel, held it with both hands, and got out as if escaping.

The eunuch leading the way saw that she was frail and frail, and even wobbled a few steps. He quickly changed the lantern's hand and stepped forward to help her.

Xiangjiu was slightly startled, looked up at him, and felt that his whole body exuded the light of "there is true affection in the world, and there is true love in the world".

The eunuch who led the way was embarrassed, and said naively: "You little eunuch, you are quite good-looking."

Suddenly, a lamp was lit in the East Nuan Pavilion, and the light was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

What followed was the sound of a sharp porcelain falling to the ground, and a girl's scream.

"It's my sister!" The eunuch leading the way ran towards Dongnuange, and disappeared within three or two steps.

Xiang Jiu didn't expect him to come and go, Gong Tong lost his support, tilted to the side, almost fell down.Fortunately, Xiangjiu reacted quickly and stabilized, but... she spilled some.

Misfortunes never come singly.

She sighed and found a broom to clean the floor carefully.Rainwater has accumulated on the ground, so it is not troublesome to wash it.

When he was about to leave, he heard much more commotion in the front yard, faintly crying and begging for mercy.She shook her head, thinking it was none of her business.Who is better than the slaves in the palace?

When he got to the door, he couldn't calm down for a long time, so he turned around and walked along the wall to reach the front yard, where he saw the eunuch leading the way kneeling in the middle of the yard, kowtowing over and over again, saying, "I beg the master to avoid my sister." if.

His face was covered in mud.

The little girl next to him was stubborn, kneeling straight, without saying a word, staring straight at the person in front of him.

Xiang Jiu followed her gaze and saw a pretty figure with a concubine-colored cloak draped over her shoulders, shaking with the wind...

This should be the new imperial attendant, Ruan Ruge.

Coming out of Xianfu Palace, Xiangjiu pushed her cart again, and the wheels were almost unable to roll under the weight of those full barrels.

Gathering up all her strength, she staggered forward.Her arms were sore and limp, and her mind was always thinking about the poor pair of brothers and sisters. Suddenly, her thoughts changed, and she remembered that today was the [-]-day anniversary of her entry into the palace.

It turns out that the dung truck has been pushed for a hundred days...

Lifting her eyelids, she saw an eunuch rushing towards her, leading two valiant guards, without saying a word, holding her throat with the hilt of a knife.

She didn't know why, so she threw away the cart and backed up until her lower back hit the auspicious cylinder, and she fell to the ground.

Two guards held her down.

She was naturally startled and terrified. She didn't know what happened, and she struggled to raise her head, but the life force pinned the back of her head, and her face was pressed into the rain, choking uncomfortably.

The eunuch reprimanded: "Don't die, the imperial master's Luanjia dares to block, and you will lose nine lives."

Prince?Luangjia?

Xiang Jiuzhi said that he was "extremely lucky", and the [-]-day anniversary was directly changed to the memorial day.

It's just a bad eye that attracts flies-bad luck.

Eyes closed and heart crossed: "The slave deserves death."

This posture is quite reckless!

Musurao went on a southern tour in late spring, passing through Henan, Suzhou, Jiaxing, Hangzhou and other places along the way, and was exhausted early on.

Yesterday afternoon, I went back to the palace and slept for a long time. When I woke up, it was already midnight. I braved the heavy rain and reluctantly went to Fengxian Hall to offer incense to my ancestors.

Unexpectedly, on the way back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I met an ignorant little eunuch.

She didn't have time to pay attention to it, she stroked the Sabah rabbit in her arms, closed her eyes and dozed off in the carriage, and when she was about to fall asleep, she was startled by the sound of "death to death".

Scared, the Sabah rabbit in his arms rolled over on his legs and fell to the ground.

Mu Surao felt distressed, and ordered to get off the sedan chair, when she leaned over to hug her, the little thing kicked her legs and ran away.

The accompanying eunuch chief Nan Ye hurriedly led people to chase him, surrounded him left and right, and drove him to Xiang Jiu's side.

Xiangjiu hugged it into her arms in a strange way, and Sabah Rabbit was very face-saving, and obediently rubbed her arm.

Nan Ye was so angry that he slapped the dust fly on Xiang Jiu's back: "You bastard, dare to disturb Sheng Jia. You can touch Little Master Rabbit?"

"Okay." Mu Surao felt that Nanye was noisy, and was supported by someone, and came here by blowing flowers and willows.

Nanye groaned, nodded and stepped back, and opened the umbrella to protect her from the rain.

Mu Surao stopped in front of Xiang Jiu, her skirt was wet from the rain, and the embroidered bright red pattern revealed a bright luster.

She lowered her eyes and kept looking at Xiangjiu, who was drenched all over and was extremely embarrassed.The water dripping from the glazed tiles pattered and dripped between them, splashing one after another.

Suddenly, she leaned slightly and stretched out her hand to Xiangjiu. The armor on her ring finger and little finger shone with golden light. Xiangjiu looked carefully and found that there were three agate stones the size of red beans embedded in it. Hands are clean and charming.

Nan Ye scolded Xiang Jiu: "Why are you in a daze!"

Xiangjiu came back to her senses, raised her hand slowly, put Weiliang's fingertips into Mu Surao's palm, and stood up with strength.But the head was still bowed down.There are rules in the palace, slaves cannot look directly at their masters.

"Thank you, Imperial Master." Xiang Jiu said gratefully.

Her fingertips are cold, but Mu Surao's palm is warm.

The air froze at this moment, and together with the froze, there was a smile on Mu Surao's lips, and everyone's breathing...

Nanye slapped Xiangjiu with a whisk again, and it was so imposing: "My lord wants you to return the little master rabbit!!" Why did you even get started.

Xiangjiu: "..."

She withdrew her hand like an electric shock, knelt down again, and decided that tonight was doomed.

Nan Ye gritted her teeth: "You bastard, you don't disturb the holy car, but dare to... humiliate the dragon's body!"

The last four words, no matter how they sound, have a bit of a dirty meaning.

Mu Surao squinted at Nanye, her eyes were full of fire.

Nanye was startled, slapped her mouth twice, begged Mu Surao to calm down, turned her head, blamed all the grievances she had suffered on Xiangjiu, and asked angrily, "Which palace are you from?"

Xiangjiu pursed her lips, not daring to answer.

Nan Ye asked again: "In the middle of the night, what kind of hard work are you doing here?"

Xiang Jiu said dejectedly: "Slave...collect the pail and push the dung cart."

The corner of Mu Surao's mouth twitched: Then you still touch my hand.

The corners of Nan Ye's mouth twitched more fiercely than Mu Su Rao's. As the chief eunuch, behind every little eunuch's troubles, there was a part of his dereliction of duty.With a mournful face, he also knelt down: "My lord, this slave is guilty, please forgive me."

While speaking, he snatched back the Sabah rabbit and carried it into Mu Surao's arms.

Mu Surao was used to seeing him playing tricks, so she sat back on the chariot, her tone was cold: "I'm tired, let's go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation first." Then she glanced at Xiang Jiu from the corner of her eyes.

Nanye was overjoyed, knowing that Mu Surao had spared him, he expressed his loyalty, "Then how to deal with this tricky slave?"

Mu Surao rolled her eyes: "... Send it to the Department of Punishment."

Xiangjiu: "!!?"

The author has something to say: Welcome to the history of the struggle of eunuch Xin Zheku.The following are the instructions for reading the text:

1. Shuangjie, please rest assured to watch.

2. Same-sex marriage.

3. The queen's wife is called Huang Jun (only one person), and all candidates are called Huang Jun's servants.

4. Overhead history.

Sword beans

In the prison of the Department of Punishment, the light is very dark, the air is very humid, and there is always a musty smell lingering in the nostrils.

Xiang Jiu didn't panic, took the only white candle and put it on the small square table beside the bed, wanting to sleep peacefully before going to Huangquan Road.

Lifting off a corner of the quilt, I found that the mattress was covered with blood stains in lumps, forming a strange shape.

Xiangjiu muttered, probably it was left by the previous brother.

It seems that An Wenjue has no time to sleep.She wrapped her clothes tightly, found a slightly bright corner and squatted down, thinking about her small cart and the load of barrels.

Suddenly he laughed.

The reason is that I heard that the severed head meal of the Punishment Department has two meat and two vegetables, and it is still full.She has been in the palace for a hundred days and has not even eaten a full meal.

Make up your mind, eat the food for the severed head first, and then find a way to survive.The so-called "my fate is up to me and I'm not up to heaven", before the end of life, everything will turn around.

So she began to wait, and slowly, slowly, the dark clouds outside the window dissipated, the sun rose, and the world became clear... There were also footsteps coming from the distance of the prison door, occasionally mixed with random chatter.

The candle also burned to the end, and the flame went out with a puff, turning into a wisp of green smoke.

Xiang Jiu wiped off the dust on the front of his clothes, straightened his hat, sat down at the small wooden table, and made preparations for the decapitation meal.

"Little eunuch, you can go." One person unlocked the door.

Xiangjiu: "..."

The agreed two meat and two vegetables.

The other person also said in a soft voice: "I still have some errands to catch up, so follow me quickly."

Xiang Jiu was taken aback by his clothes.Tea green, with bat-pattern patches on the chest.A small sharkskin scabbard hangs around his waist.Step on a pair of suede boots.

Looking at that face again, isn't it the eunuch who led the guards to knock her down last night?

Look at this attire, he must be a servant in front of the emperor, at least he is a six-rank.

"Dare to ask about your father-in-law's honorable name." Xiang Jiu asked tentatively.

"...Jing Xi."

"Princess... tell me to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation?" Xiang Jiu asked nervously.

Jing Xi shook his head lightly, and walked back the same way, Xiang Jiu hurriedly caught up with him, staring at his back on the way, and didn't ask anything else.

After leaving the prison, the sun was shining brightly, which was quite dazzling. Xiang Jiu subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

"You disrespected before driving, and committed the crime below. The emperor will spare you the death penalty, but you will still be punished." Jing Xi turned sideways, motioning Xiangjiu to accept the order.

All day long, I knelt down.Xiang Jiuban lifted his robe and bent his knees.

I thought to myself, if the palace is full, is there anything worse than staying in Xinzheku?In contrast, all punishments can be called rewards.

Thinking about it this way, I had a little expectation.

Jing Xi was expressionless: "I will now send you to Xinzheku to suffer from hard labor."

Then he waved his arm: "Come on, drag it down."

Xiangjiu: "..."

Two guards took the order, one left and one right came up, and carried Xiang Jiu out.From beginning to end, Xiang Jiu never struggled, but his expression was a little...disappointed.

Jing Xi narrowed his eyelids, looking at her pitiful figure being dragged further and further away, suddenly felt that this person was unpredictable.

Unfathomable people can hold their breath the most. In this deep palace, only such people can soar into the sky.

In the Hall of Diligence and Prosperity in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Mu Surao finished approving the last memorial, carefully put it aside, and stretched the back of his sore neck.

Nan Ye stopped rubbing the ink: "My lord, take a rest. By the way, Ruan Xiaozhu has been begging to see you for a long time, why don't I invite her in to accompany you to relieve boredom?"

Mu Surao took the armor and put it on her fingertips one by one, got up and walked out of Qinzheng Qinxian Hall, sat on the kang in Dongnuange, raised her legs side by side, and nestled on it, her elbows resting on the yellow satin The Golden Dragon Kesi was in the hand, and the waist was concave downwards with a full grip.

She took the milk tea from Nan Ye and took a sip: "Master Ruan? Who is she?"

"You forgot. During your tour to the south, the imperial concubine picked a new imperial attendant for you. His name is Ruan Ruge, who entered the palace at the beginning of the month. You just came back and haven't seen him yet."

Nanye said cautiously: "It's the niece of the Royal Concubine..."

Mu Surao sneered, "She's still the Empress Dowager's real niece."

Nan Ye remained silent, took back the tea cup and put it on the kang table.

Mu Surao's eyes were cold, but a smile hung on his lips: "Did you say this on behalf of the imperial concubine, or the empress dowager?"

Nan Ye was terrified, broke out in a cold sweat, and lay on the side of the pedals: "I have only you as my master, and I dare not speak for others, but the imperial concubine always hopes that you can have a confidant by your side, so this slave is so bold." ...The imperial lord calm down."

"Get up." Mu Surao didn't hold back her smile, she suddenly laughed twice, her tone became lively, "I'm just teasing you."

Whether it's funny or not, only you know.Nan Ye casually wiped the sweat from his brow, and said with sharp eyesight: "The servant is going to support Ruan Xiaozhu, so she doesn't have to wait."

He bowed and retreated to the door, then stopped abruptly: "If other young masters ask to see..."

"Same as before, no see."

Not long after, Jing Xi came back and hurried to return to Mu Surao's life.

Mu Surao sent Xiang Jiu to the Punishment Department, but on the spur of the moment, just to get angry, she didn't intend to really kill her, so she was locked up all night, and naturally she was released.

But he didn't want to pay attention to these little things like sesame and mung beans, so he casually said "um" and asked him to hug Nuanrongrong.

Nuan Rongrong is the Sabah rabbit.

Jing Xi was sensible, not only hugged Nuan Rongrong, but also took fresh vegetable leaves from the imperial dining room to feed Nuan Rongrong.

Mu Surao was so happy that she picked a soft one and fed it to its mouth.

Xiangjiu felt that the imperial master was really righteous, and although she was not allowed to eat meat and vegetables, the guards helped her push the cart full of Gong barrels back to Xinzheku.

By the way, he dragged her back.

Of course, the service attitude was a bit bad, and she was thrown in the door like trash, and happened to be thrown at Fu Aosou's feet.

Fu Sorrow's face immediately became sadder than his name.

Xiangjiu knew that a whip was inevitable.

To be honest, she felt that the imperial master was too domineering, so she pulled her hand, as if she had taken advantage of her.She was still locked in a big black prison. If such a woman is placed among the people, she is commonly known as a "hagsha".

"I told you to get into trouble!" As soon as the guards left, Fu Aisou showed his original form, rolled up his sleeves, took off the whip around his waist, and made a gesture of being rough.

Behind him was a group of servants who were buried in their work, all of them turned their faces away and looked at them secretly.The expression is either blank or gloating.

Xiangjiu was neither humble nor overbearing, standing still while supporting the wooden stand on which the Gong barrels were placed, and without looking at Fu Aigou, unloaded the Gong barrels from the cart to the pool one by one, fetched bamboo brushes and soap horns, and washed them stand up.

Fu Aichou hated her disobedience the most. He had been the steward of Xinzheku for ten years. No matter how hard his bones were, he would be subdued even with a few blows of the whip. Only this Xiangjiu.

You hit her, she doesn't say a word.You are hungry for her, she will not make a sound.He was obviously born thin and weak, like a girl, but his bones are very strong.

Fu Aiou sniffed, and kicked over the pail violently, the excrement poured all over the floor.

The stench suddenly rose to the sky, and flies rushed from all directions.

Daodou rushed up and hugged Fu Aosou's hand holding the whip high, flattering him and said, "Godfather, there is no need to be angry with this kind of person, my son will teach her a lesson for you."

He helped Fu Aigou to sit on the bench, took the whip and shook a few times, thinking he was majestic, but in fact he was pretending to be majestic, it was very funny.

Contempt flashed in Xiangjiu's eyes, and he brought up a Gong bucket again.

In the next moment, he received a solid whip on his wrist, trembling with pain, his clothes were ripped open, and his bloody flesh turned outward.She gritted her teeth and trembled.

Sword Bean's dark skin showed a ferocious red, and he shouted triumphantly: "Look carefully, this is the fate of disobedience."

After finishing speaking, wave the whip again.

The place where the whip fell was still the wrist, and the wound deepened, and blood oozed out, forming a stream, and flowing into the fingers.No matter how hard Xiangjiu could endure the pain, he couldn't help humming.

"Yeah! You have a good idea." Fu Aosou praised Jiandou.

Sword Bean chuckled, and continued to raise his whip, aiming... still at his wrist.

In a blink of an eye, a ladle of smelly dung was splashed on him, extremely fast, and splashed on his face, as if he had been slapped heavily, with burning pain.

He was stunned!

Fu Aichou was also stunned!

Everyone was stunned!

Only Xiangjiu was extremely sober. She scooped up the second scoop of dung water and held it in her hand like a knife. Her eyes were like a stubborn wolf cub, and she locked onto the sword bean tightly.

"You, you, you actually splashed me with this thing..." Sword Bean lay on the side of the well and retched, hurriedly brought up a bucket of well water, washed his face, and then picked up the thrown whip, "I Fighting with you."

Xiang Jiu met him, splashed the dung water on his face again, turned around and grabbed a broom, without saying a word, chopped down on his forehead, scraping several thin and shallow bloodstains.

Dao Dou touched the sore spot, saw that his palm was full of blood, his eyes burst open, and he rushed towards Xiang Jiu howling.

Xiangjiu dodges and kicks him staggeringly.

Fu Aichou couldn't sit still, and shouted: "Stop!"

Jian Dou's anger burned out his reason long ago, he could not listen to his orders, and insisted on fighting Xiang Jiu to the death.

After some noise, the rest of Xin Zheku's stewards were alarmed, and they ran into the yard one after another, and saw the two wrestling together.

One of the nurses in charge had a hot temper, strode over and pushed the two away: "It's impossible to rebel!"

Sword Dou preemptively said: "Mum, Xiang Jiu splashed me with dung water."

"Mommy, he did it first. If you don't believe me, you can ask other people, and they can all testify for me."

Daodou retorted: "You didn't work hard, you offended the imperial master last night, you should have been punished—"

Xiang Jiu interrupted him: "Princess, I have been punished overnight, and I have already been punished. What are you, come and teach me on behalf of the imperial lord!"

"you--"

"Besides, I'm Xin Zheku's lowly servant. Why aren't you? If you hit me, I can't fight back!"

The words are scolding at Jiandou, but every sentence refers to Sang and scolds Huai.

"Presumptuous!" Fu Aichou couldn't hold back his old face, "I am in charge of the seventh rank, and I can't punish you!"

The author has something to say: Mu Surao: "Wow, where is the sweet love..."

Meng Qingdai

"Of course Manager Fu can punish me." Xiangjiu's attitude softened, and she bowed her head to Fu mournfully.Although it is a stalk, it has given Fu Ai enough face.

She is not stupid, all the stewards are here, if she dismisses Fu Aosou, it will also discredit the other stewards at the same time.On the contrary, to give in to Fu Sorrow is to give in to all the stewards, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Fu Aiyou was surprised that she sang this suddenly, and patted her face with a fake smile, mockingly said: "I can't see it, you little doll, but you are still a master who adapts to the wind."

With just two sentences, he was forced to suffer this dull loss.

"It's all due to you, you are good at discipline." Xiang Jiu replied calmly.

Fu Ai's sad face couldn't stop twitching, not to be outdone, she said: "Don't worry, I will discipline you even more in the future."

"Then it's your fault."

Jian Dou was not convinced: "Godfather, you have to seek justice for your son." You can't eat her dung for nothing.

Fu Aiyou looked sideways, sneered surprisingly bitterly, and slapped the sword bean with his backhand: "You are the one who made the move first, and you still have the face to ask me to seek justice for you!"

"I'm helping you—"

"I don't need your help!"

Sword Bean clenched his fists secretly, he understood that his godfather was going to take the blame on him.

If you want to be safe and smooth in the palace, there is only one trick - to turn big things into small things.

Since someone came out to take the blame, it is natural to go downhill. The several stewards made some calculations, considering that Jian Dou is the godson of Fu Aichou, and also has a relationship with the one in Shou'an Palace... There is no corporal punishment on him, just Let him do all of Xiang Jiu's work today.

In this way, everyone's face can be scrupled.

Xiang Jiu didn't expect them to really do anything to Sword Bean, and not punishing her at the same time was already the best result, so she didn't force anything else.

It's rare to have a day of free time to enjoy, so she made a simple plan, except for lunch at noon, the rest of the time is spent-sleeping.

In order to comfort her the psychological torture she suffered in the Punishment Division last night.

But the sky didn't go as planned, the wound on her wrist was painful, and she woke up in less than two hours.

Xin Zheku's servants are lowly in life, and they are not qualified to ask the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment. If they have a headache, they will grit their teeth and get through it by themselves.If you can't make it through, just wrap it in an oilcloth and carry it out of Miyagi.

She found a clean cotton towel to wrap around the wound, and went to the warehouse, trying to find some usable medicine from it.For so many years in Xinzheku, people come and go, and there will always be something useful left behind.

After a wave of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, even the mouse hole was not missed, and finally found a bottle of moldy hand balm, probably left behind by a palace lady.

After searching for a long time, I found a bottle of pills from the dustpan on the shelf.The body of the bottle is well preserved, but the yellow paper on it has been soaked with moisture, and the handwriting is all blurred, and the word "black-bone chicken" can barely be discerned in a blur.

Could it be Wuji Baifeng Wan?It seems to be the holy medicine of gynecology, right?

Xiang Jiu was discouraged all of a sudden, uncorked the bottle and sniffed it, then threw it back to the original place.

After thinking about it for a while, I saw that the sun was already hanging in the middle of the sky, and it was time to eat.

Hurrying so quickly that he took two steamed buns to fill his stomach, he then went back to sleep.After it was completely dark, taking advantage of the darkness, I slipped to the imperial pharmacy to steal some medicine.

Don't think it's a difficult task, once the palace gate is unlocked, there are only two imperial physicians on duty and two eunuchs on duty at night in the Royal Pharmacy.

Be careful, you won't get caught.

Xiangjiu was not greedy, and only took two bottles of Jinchuang medicine for external application.

The cat stooped and tiptoed back to Xinzheku, climbed onto the Datong shop, hid in the quilt and applied medicine to the wound.

Several times, the hands were too heavy, and the pain caused cold sweat all over the body, but he dared not make big movements for fear of waking up the people next to him.

After taking the medicine, I didn't feel sleepy at all, so I packed up the Jinchuang medicine and hid it in the drawer beside the bed.

Didn't Fu Aichou say that she should be disciplined in the future, and there will be more times when she will be beaten.She had to save the medicine and use it to save her life later.

Hey, I don't know how long I will stay in this Forbidden City that eats people and doesn't spit out their bones...

Early the next morning, it was Xiangjiu's turn to cut grass outside the three halls. The July sun, even if it just emerged from the top of the west mountain, was still scorching.

Xiangjiu is afraid of heat, loves to sweat, her snow-white face is flushed, like rouge, she is charming and shy.The nurse in charge who supervised them couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and said jokingly, "You have such a good appearance, it's a pity to be an eunuch."

Xiang Jiu said nothing, the turf under her feet seemed to have been infested by insects, and it was all withered and yellow.She cleaned the hay one by one, and turned over the soil with a palm-sized rake.

She worked hard, and the cotton towel on her wrist gradually oozes a ball of blood red, which is expanding over time.Xiang Jiu took a look, and calmly changed the rake's hand.

At that time, the sky was bright, the fiery red sun was shining in every corner, and they refused to give any shade.On the palace road in front of the lawn, occasionally the little masters of the first palace are surrounded by passing by.

Xiangjiu didn't know any of them, and the nanny shouted to kneel, and she bowed down and kowtowed like the servants around her, sending them away respectfully.

Strangely, a young master stopped in front of them.

Xiang Jiu secretly looked at him, and saw that he was sitting in a ceremonial sedan chair carried by eight people, with golden clouds and Zhai birds painted on it.

It is speculated that the rank of this little master is not lower than the fifth rank.

"Little eunuch, come here." The voice of the person on the sedan chair was as clear as the tinkling of spring water.

Everyone was puzzled, who was she... calling?

"Little eunuch?" She called again, as before, in a calm manner.

Empress Xiangjiu became aware, and raised her head boldly: "My lord, are you... called a slave?"

"Well, you come."

Xiangjiu was in a daze, lifted the muddy hem of his clothes, and walked a few steps on his knees: "What do you want, my lord?"

"What's wrong with your wrist?" She pinched a sumac silk handkerchief, and a cluster of purple-blue daisy orchids was embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief, exuding a dignified and elegant charm.

Xiangjiu suddenly remembered that there was a royal servant named "Dai" in the palace, who seemed to be called...Meng Qingdai.

"...The slave is stupid, he accidentally cut the grass..."

The mother took the lead and said courteously: "Master Meng, you are just a slave of Xin Zheku, you don't need to worry about it."

"That's all? According to you, they are all dead?"

Mammy heard that she was unhappy, and apologized: "Young Master Meng, calm down, it's the slave who is stupid, stupid."

Meng Qingdai frowned slightly, looked away, and said to the court lady Qiu Nuan, "Go to the imperial pharmacy in a while, and get a bottle of Jinchuang medicine for this little eunuch."

Qiu Nuan squatted down and replied that he had written it down.

Xiangjiu was so touched, her heart was warm, and she praised Meng Qingdai as a living Bodhisattva who saves suffering.If I had known that I would meet her today, why bother to take the risk to steal things from Naluoshizi Imperial Pharmacy last night.

"Slave, thank you little master Meng for your kindness!"

Meng Qingdai smiled lightly, facing the light from the sky, and left in a sedan chair.

In the afternoon, Qiu Nuan really came to Xinzheku under the red fire sun, and not only gave Xiang Jiu a bottle of Jinchuang medicine, but also sent a message to Fu Aichou: "Our Lord ordered, don't give this little eunuch the next two days. Make hard work and find her some light work."

Fu Aiyou smiled shyly, understood every word of mouth, and even sent Qiu Nuan out in person, asking her to greet Meng Qingdai on her behalf on the way.

However, as soon as he came back, he instructed Xiang Jiu to repair the pile of worn-out brooms in the warehouse and send them to the cleaning office.

Xiangjiu complied, took out the broom, and tapped on the old locust tree in the courtyard.The dust accumulated over the years on the broom was liberated at this moment, scrambling to fly into the sky, choking people to cough.

After that, she placed a small horse under the tree, sat on it, and carefully twisted the wire on the broom.Twisting and twisting, unconsciously thinking of Meng Qingdai, sighing to herself: "Good man."

Immediately thinking of the emperor's son Mu Surao again, as if encountering some bad luck, he gave a quick pooh: "Scumbag."

A few young maids who were taking a bath were washing their hair by the well. The scent of saponins was fresh and pleasant, and even the air became moist and clean.

"Brother Xiang." They dried their hair and waved to Xiang nine times, looking nervous.

Xiangjiu thought something was wrong, looked around and approached them.

"I'll eat it for you." One of them opened his fist, revealing a yellow, round apricot.

"Where did it come from?" Xiang Jiu asked in surprise.

"There is an apricot grove in Ningshou Garden. When it was dark, we slipped away and picked some."

Xiangjiu felt grateful for their thoughtfulness, and knew that it was not easy to have something delicious, so she guessed that they didn't dare to pick more, swallowed, and pushed back the apricots: "You guys keep them and eat them."

"Hold it, hold it," the little maid was anxious, and forced it to her, "Don't dawdle, you will suffer if the manager sees it."

Xiangjiu's kindness was hard to stop, he opened his mouth and took a bite, the sweet and greasy juice splashed all over his mouth: "It's delicious, thank you."

She grinned, her smile as bright as a spring flower.The cheeks of the little maids burned hot, and the blush stained most of their faces.

They are all at an age when love is flourishing, Xiangjiu is so handsome and attractive, so it is inevitable that he cannot help but want to be a couple.Therefore, there are delicious food and good drinks, and I always think about her.

"Do you want more?" Another person also handed one.

Xiangjiu waved his hand, he was really embarrassed to eat more, spit out the fruit core, and chatted with them a few words.It is good to steal a moment of leisure in the hard days.

"Hey, look, there's a newcomer here." Someone gloated.

Xiang Jiu looked back in response, and saw an "acquaintance", no, to be precise, it was two.

The author has something to say: Well, just reading the text and not collecting it is all playing hooligans~~

Meet again

Isn't this... the brother and sister from Xianfu Palace?

Each of them carried a bundle, and they were led in by Jiandou obediently.

Daodou led them around the courtyard, introduced Xin Zheku's customs, slapped his hands, and attracted the attention of the eunuchs and maids in the courtyard: "A new pair of brothers and sisters, Fu Shou and Fu Mo'er. "

His perfunctory introduction, the big guy's natural perfunctory response - didn't bother to say a word, lowered his head and focused on his own business.Only a few people who usually follow his lead are a little more lively.

Sword Dou was very proud, turned his belt, and said arrogantly to Fu Shou Fu Mo'er: "Here, don't talk about serving the master before, if your master really loves you, he won't send you to this ghost place... If you don't obey, you will be whipped."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiangjiu.

Xiang Jiu was not afraid of him, and looked at him openly.

Jiandou stared at her, took a while to look away, and took Fu Mo'er's hand: "Go, brother will take you into the house to put your luggage."

"Hey!" Fu Mo'er was half startled and half angry, and broke away from him, her eyes were wide open, breathing fire, "Damn eunuch, don't touch me."

Sword Bean's face instantly looked like a pig's liver.

Fushou protected his younger sister behind him, and said with a clumsy apology: "My younger sister is young and ignorant, you take care of it."

Dao Dou didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, yesterday he ate at Xiang Jiu's for no reason, and his stomach was full of anger, but today even a little girl dared to despise him.

And in front of everyone.

He said ferociously: "Stinky girl, you look quite fresh, and your temper is like a stone in a latrine. I advise you to restrain yourself, or you will be rewarded."

Fu Mo'er sneered: "If there is any good fruit, I will share it with you."

"Mo'er!" Fushou was startled and told her to shut up quickly.

As he spoke, he dragged her inside.

"Want to run? It's not that easy." Sword Bean stepped out to block their way, and several small followers also consciously surrounded them.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake. Although Xinzheku is small, there are also local snakes.This pair of brothers and sisters seems to be at a disadvantage.

Fu Shou spread out his arms, tried his best to block Fu Mo'er, and backed away again and again: "Everyone...don't, don't, I'll make an apology to you on behalf of my sister..."

Sword Bean grinned at the corner of his mouth, and kicked him in the heart with a flying kick.

Fushou howled in pain and staggered twice.

Fu Mo'er covered his wound: "You, you..."

"You" for a long time, but there is no more words, helplessly looking up at the pear blossom's rainy face, resentful.

Sword Bean hadn't had a good time yet, so he pinched her chin and said wretchedly: "Yo yo yo, I'm crying, it's so beautiful to cry, my brother likes it..."

"Hello, new here." Someone interrupted Jiandou suddenly, with a light voice, a little idle.

It's Xiang Jiu.

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, she has always caused troubles these days, and now she doesn't know how to avoid them, instead she goes up to them without hesitation, it's clear that she wants to tear the skin off with Sword Bean.

The maid who gave her apricots tugged at her sleeves to remind her not to cause trouble.

Xiangjiu walked around to the pool and lifted a heavy bucket, bang
