The magpie was sold to Mrs. Li in the city.

She didn't care how much money she was sold, but when her father was overjoyed to go out with the copper coins, Magpie finally said to him:

"Father, since you sold me and got the money, don't forget that you still have two younger brothers at home. Get some food and go back. Otherwise, if you go back half a month later, I'm afraid you will only see two bones."

Hearing this, Niu Erlang who was going out was startled, looked back at his expressionless daughter, finally nodded, and went out.

Mrs. Li glanced at the ragged girl, her toes were so cold that they were about to fall off, yet she still cared about others.

Mrs. Li is used to buying a girl, putting it in her hands for a while before selling it, so that she can get a better price.

The magpie followed her into the yard and found several girls around her age in the yard.

It's just that they are all dressed cleanly, and they are not as thin as the magpies.

The magpie glanced at them a few times, then lowered her eyes again.

Mrs. Li led her in and handed her over to an older girl named Erni.

Erni called the others, and together they boiled water for the magpie to bathe, and brought a bowl of porridge.

Magpie looked at the bowl of porridge, his eyes lit up.

Er Ni smiled, "Don't worry, there is something to eat here every day."

Only later did Magpie discover that what Er Ni said was actually true.

There is enough to eat here every day, and not only that, Mrs. Li even brought a new set of clothes for the magpie.Although it is not that thick, it can cover the body more or less.

The magpie put on the clothes happily, and Erni also brought a small box, opened it, dug out some white transparent grease, and applied it on the magpie's face and hands, "This box is for you, the godmother said, this Things have to be painted every day."

Magpie took it in a daze, but the joy in his heart dissipated all of a sudden.

That's right, she remembered, she was going to the building, and these were all preparations for going in.

Magpie stood there in a daze, but in a trance, he remembered the unscrupulous laughter he heard the day he entered the city.

Then she held the box tightly, as if dissatisfied with the injustice of fate, and seemed to compromise.

But then she discovered that a girl in the same room secretly dug up the fat and threw it away.

Magpie glanced at her, but the other party stared at Magpie coldly.

Magpie didn't care, but seriously wiped the thing on his hands and face.

She thought, since she has taken this path, she must do better than others, so that she can save more money for her two younger brothers.

When she raised her two younger brothers and let them marry wives, she threw herself into the river like her mother and went clean.

Just thinking about it, Magpie became the most obedient girl in the yard, the most obedient and the most serious in her studies.

Mrs. Li didn't teach them anything else, but she taught them how to read and write every day.

Magpie has also heard that girls from good families can read and write in order to be able to better manage family affairs.

And the girl in that building is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just to attract guests to run into the building.

But even so, she learned the most seriously.

In this way, Mrs. Li loved her very much, and often brought her into the house, gave her some food, and said to her: "Since I treat you like my daughters, in the future you must honor me like a daughter.

"Don't worry, the place I'm taking you to is the place everyone wants to go to, the life is easy, you can see the world, eat delicious food, and have a lot of money in your hands.

"Remember, I bought you for a full 10 coins. If you can't honor me, you will be struck by lightning. And I can get you back again, and return to my yard In the middle, give me a cow or a horse!"

Mrs. Li said half-benevolently and half-threateningly.

But the magpie understood.

This Mrs. Li not only wanted to sell her, but also let her continue to support her with the money she earned.

But Magpie nodded obediently, "Godmother, don't worry, I don't have a mother, and my father is even more unreliable. There are only two young brothers in the family. I also hope that the godmother will take care of these two younger brothers."

After listening to Mrs. Li, she was happier than hearing those dry words of loyalty.

She nodded with a smile on her face, "As long as you are obedient, I will take care of your two younger brothers to grow up!"

As she spoke, she carefully took out a piece of paper from the cabinet, and taught the magpie a few more words.

Magpie thinks this is not bad, if she enters the building, she will not be able to take care of her two younger brothers herself, and I am afraid that she will need a lot of care from Mrs. Li, who has great powers.

So she served Mrs. Li even harder.

And this day, when she was cleaning up the house with a few girls, Mrs. Li hurried in, "Hurry up, put on your best clothes and follow me!"

Mrs. Li drove the girls into the carriage, and together with the coachman, sent the girls to a courtyard in the city.

Magpie and others got out of the carriage, and Mrs. Li should have sent them in quickly, but she ordered in a low voice:

"You all should be smart, this is a great opportunity for you to be reincarnated for the second time! If you hit the shot, you will have no worries about food and drink in your next life. If you don't hit the shot, it's your chance to go to the Heavenly Palace. Slip past you, and don't blame me in the future Did not take care of you!

"If you don't win, come out and look for me. I'll wait for you at the back door. If you win, report to me, and I'll return your body deed to you. From then on, you will be free men!"

The magpie was stunned for a while.

She didn't expect Mrs. Li to give them the body deed. Shouldn't this thing be given to the buyer?

She stared blankly at the huge crowd of people in the door, and suddenly had some doubts: What kind of place is this, and what are they here for?

When the magpie entered the yard, he saw many women standing in the yard, both young and old.Around the courtyard stood many women in uniform clothes.

They directed everyone to stand in a row and walk five by five to a door.

She subconsciously grabbed the hand of the person next to her, but it turned out to be Wu Niu, a girl who shared the same room with her. She looked happy and worked neatly, but she was a bit silly.

At this time, Wu Niu was still chewing, but she carefully put her mouth close to the magpie's ear, and asked softly: "Magpie, do you think the godmother will really return the body bond to us?"

Magpie shook her head, "I don't know either."

The magpies waited all morning until their stomachs growled, and finally it was their turn to go in.

When she went in, she found that in the second courtyard, there were 2 chairs lined up, and 5 people sat on them.

The lady who led them in made them line up horizontally and speak to the five people.

Then those people asked many questions, such as how old are you, where are you from, and what kind of work did you do at home?For example, planting mulberry and raising silkworms, cooking cocoons and reeling silk, spinning or weaving?

Magpie was stunned.

Only then did she realize that the woman who led them into the door before, and now stood aside and looked at them with a smile, was wearing very familiar clothes, as if she had seen them on the day she entered the city, walking through the gate of the mansion. The same group of girls who came out!

Magpie suddenly realized something.

But before she could react, she heard a middle-aged woman who came in next to her say loudly: "I, I can reel silk, and I can spin yarn!"

Among the five people sitting directly in front, one nodded, and immediately a woman next to him brought a pot of boiled cocoons and asked the woman to reel silk for them to see.

Silk reeling is to pull out the silk from the cocoon in boiling water, and then twist it into a strand for spinning.

But this is done in boiling water, very hard work.When the magpies were at home, their mother loved them dearly and never let them reel.

At this moment, she stared blankly, but her heart became anxious.

After the woman finished, the people above didn't know whether they were satisfied or not, but they let her go down.

Then the people above looked at them again and asked, "Is there anyone else who knows this?"

At this question, the magpie took a deep breath, and said loudly like the woman: "I can spin and weave, and I can read!"

The magpie didn't react until it was happily led out through another door by the woman standing next to it.

But the woman said with a smile all over her face: "Are you able to read? That's amazing! There is a shortage of literate people in our workshop. You will be promoted to a first-class weaver immediately when you come in. That's 20 taels of silver a year!"

Magpie was stunned when he heard those words, but the big stone in his heart slowly fell down.

Then the woman in front of me showed surprise for a while, and quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Wipe it quickly, don't cry, this is a good thing, a great good thing!"

Magpie took it in a daze, only to realize that tears were streaming down her face.

On the other hand, Wen Chi's life passed much more slowly.

After being stopped by Emperor Qian Cheng, he turned around in embarrassment, and he saw the person on the bed throwing back the curtain, sitting there disheveled, with an angry look on his face.

Other than that, there was no one else in the room.

"Where are you going!" Qian Chengdi asked bitterly.

Wen Chi blinked, and said with a nonchalant smile, "What's wrong with you?"

Emperor Gan Cheng sneered, "I thought you didn't care!"

Wen Chi was even more embarrassed, and in the end he could only call Ling Dang in and ask the matter clearly.

It turned out that Emperor Qian Cheng realized something was wrong at that time, but he became furious and almost strangled Xiuhe to death.

Fortunately, Chang Ming came in a hurry and took him out, but now Xiuhe didn't know if he was alive or dead.

After listening, Wen Chi felt a little helpless.

The emperor is a sweet pastry in this palace, and every woman and even a man wants to have a bite.

In fact, what Xiuhe did was not surprising.

It's just that the other party drugged Qian Chengdi, which was a bit too much.

Wen Chi thought for a while, and said: "Since she has done such a thing, don't stay in the palace anymore, let her go out of the palace!"

After speaking for a while, he didn't hear the reply from the person in front of him, so he looked at the other person, only to see Qian Chengdi sitting on the couch in a robe, but looking straight at him.

Wen Chi was stunned, "What?"

Qian Chengdi said expressionlessly, "That's it?"

Wen Chi opened his mouth, but he didn't know what the other party was asking.

So he scratched his head and thought for a while, and then said: "Xiuhe is a girl after all, so I don't think it should be spread anymore?"

In ancient times, if a girl ruined her reputation, she might have a hard time in the future.

But upon hearing this, Emperor Gan Cheng laughed angrily.

He flicked his robe and didn't even put on his shoes, and walked out neatly, "You have kindness in your heart, you are reborn as a Bodhisattva, save all living beings, and have compassion in your heart. You care about the reputation and life of others, and I am the cat and dog in your eyes." , is not worth mentioning at all!"

After speaking, he lifted the curtain and ran out.

Wen Chi was stunned when he heard this.

"Master?" Bell shouted anxiously.

Wen Chi raised his head in a daze, and Bell whispered, "Your Majesty hasn't put on your shoes yet, and you haven't put on your coat yet, so go out like this—"

Only then did Wen Chi react, and immediately snatched the cloak from Bell's hand and rushed out.

So Ling Dang stood inside the house, looking through the window at the two people entangled in the ice and snow.

The much shorter woman grabbed the tall man who hadn't walked out of the courtyard for a long time, and forcefully put the cloak in her hand on him.

She tightly gathered the other party's skirt, with an anxious expression on her face, as if she was saying something quickly.

But that man was like an angry child, twisting and struggling constantly, trying to take off the cloak, with a look of anger and stubbornness, as well as a sense of grievance.

The two argued for a long time in the wind and snow, the woman coaxed and persuaded, but in the end it seemed that there was nothing she could do, she just squatted down, reached out to pick up the man's frozen purple feet, and was about to go to him. Hold it in your arms.

The man seemed to be a little frightened, he quickly retracted his feet, his face relaxed, and was finally dragged back into the room reluctantly by the other party.

That night, no maid was willing to go in that house.

Bell also only brought back water outside the door, Wen Chi brought it in himself, and washed the feet of the still angry person with his own hands.

Wen Chi carefully wiped those feet dry with a fine cloth, then took care of himself briefly, and said many good things in a nice voice before coaxing the man into bed.

But Qian Chengdi didn't stop making noise until now, but hugged him tightly, put his face close to his face, and looked at the person in front of him with crooked eyebrows, with an expression of indescribable satisfaction on his face.

But outside, Ling Dang casually poured the bowl of mutton soup in the corner.

Before pouring, Ling Dang glanced at the bowl, but the bowl was full, and no one had ever drank a sip. w, please keep in mind:,
