Wangfu Shenyuan

After changing the soil, put the discarded soil into sacks, and press it into the tree pit for reinforcement in the evening.Everyone had been busy for a long time and a night, and after noon, they were hungry and tired, and they had no strength even if they wanted to persevere, so Xia An asked everyone to go back to rest, in fact, he really didn't have the energy to work.

Ah Fu went to ask for floor tiles, but he still hasn't come back. Xia An sent someone to check the situation, and then went to the kitchen with Manager Han to cook.

In fact, Xia An doesn't have much talent for cooking. This can be clearly reflected from the fact that everyone is hungry and eating with a bitter face. However, since the rainstorm incident, no one has raised any objections to Xia An's succession to Zheng Da. .

Han Guanshi was even worse, he couldn't choose vegetables, he couldn't make a fire, and the only thing he could do was to help scoop water into the cauldron.Xia An recalled Ah Fu's approach, and continued to do the same, although the final result was somewhat different.

Ah Fu went straight back to the small courtyard, his dejected appearance said everything.Xia An didn't understand: "This is the most important project of the prince. How could there be no spare floor tiles? Even if there are no spare floor tiles, they have to send someone to buy them. Aren't they afraid of the prince's blame?"

"They said that the expenditure for the wine pool and meat forest has been exhausted, and the floor tiles are just right. If it exceeds, we will pay for it ourselves. The funds for all projects in the palace have never been allocated for the second time. This reason also makes sense with the prince."

Xia An wondered: "Why, the palace is so sure that all the projects will not have any accidents?"

Ah Fu glanced at Xia An, and said hesitantly: "No, in fact, many projects could not be completed on schedule." "So many people died." Manager Han answered.

No wonder the palace has to buy many people every month, and once they come in, they can't get out.But is the prince a fool or a lunatic, he can't get a good project, and he is also notorious for being cruel. Could it be that he allows such thankless things to happen often in the palace?

Xia An bit her lips and thought about it, could it be that the prince really enjoys killing people?

Seeing that Xia An's face was getting paler, Guanshi Han was afraid that he would give up hope, so he encouraged him: "Xia An, you have encountered great luck this time, and the prince will promise you to try again, and only you will be held accountable. "

"Didn't the lord ask you if you could do it before?" Xia An was confused by Han Guanshi's slightly joyful expression.

"That's right, when the lord asked me this sentence, I was stupid. Generally speaking, the lord never gave a second chance. The courtyard of the princess was originally built by people from Wutongyuan, and it was well built. The lord He suddenly said that the movement was too slow and the quality was rough, and the entire courtyard was whipped to death. Oh, I was scared when I mentioned it. When the prince’s arrow pointed at me, my heart couldn’t beat. "

Knowing how cruel the prince is by nature, Xia An was still surprised at the bloodiness of the prince after hearing what Guan Shi said. Sure enough, the ferocious prince really takes pleasure in killing people.He secretly made a decision, even if he wanted to work hard to climb up and earn money, he had to put everything above the principle of staying away from the prince.

"What should we do now? We don't have enough floor tiles, so we can't do our best." Ah Fu was really furious. The old warehouse supervisor, he said all the good things, but he didn't even look at him. "Can we raise the land and reduce the number of floor tiles on the four walls."

"I'm afraid not. Firstly, we don't have that time. Secondly, we need to reduce the height at least so that the floor tiles are enough. And if we do this, the wine pool will be much shallower, and the prince will definitely find out by then." Xia An frowned. Think about it.

Manager Han was silent for a while, knocked on the pipe, and said to Ah Fu: "If it really doesn't work, you can ask the manager?"

Ah Fu was taken aback for a moment, and then put on a hateful expression: "I would rather die than beg him."

"But what if it's for Xia An?"

Afu pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xia An sensed Ah Fu's embarrassment, and quickly waved his hands and said, "No need, the matter has not come to a dead end, I will think of other ways."

"What else can I do?" Han Guanshi muttered in a low voice, but Ah Fu gave him a hard look.

After dinner, everyone spontaneously gathered around Xia An.Xia An stayed there for a long time, then grinned, and said with high spirits: "Brother Afu, can you accompany me to the warehouse of discarded items in the Wangfu, I want to find some floor tiles that are similar in design and color to the floor tiles. If If there is no problem with a project, there will always be a few pieces left." If there is no accident in Jiuchi Roulin, there will be at least ten floor tiles left, and they are currently short of about 40 yuan.

There are many royal rules and systems. They use the leftovers to either destroy or store them. Anyway, the site is large and there are many warehouses, and no matter how many things can be put away.

"Okay, but you'd better not get your hopes up. There hasn't been anything like our floor tiles in at least five years of work."

Xia An nodded solemnly: "I see."

The warehouse where the waste items are placed in the Wangfu is quite large, and the servants are specially arranged to sort them out.The two were quickly brought to the wooden cabinet where the floor tiles were placed. The young servant Ye Han who led the way seemed to know Ah Fu very well. Brother Ann".

Ah Fu, who has always been unkind, softened his expression when he saw Ye Han.

"Brother Afu, you can take whatever you want, but don't tell Director Hu, he has scolded me many times this month. I'm not afraid of scolding, but I'm afraid that he will kill you and ask you to come back. Wait. You guys are done, and if he wants to come back, he won’t have anything." Ye Han covered his mouth and snickered, as if he had gotten some treasure.Xia An found that Ye Han liked to blink his eyes when he was talking. His eyes were big and beautiful, standard peach blossom eyes.

While picking, Xia An secretly scolded Prince Xiaoxian for being stingy, unexpectedly, there were no more than 15 yuan left for all the bricks of different colors.Xia An picked four floor tiles with different designs and colors, all of which had about ten remaining tiles.

Ah Fu said disapprovingly: "These four colors are very different from our floor tiles, and they are also different from each other. How can they be built together?"

"I want to try."

Xia An only said this sentence, but Ah Fu didn't know how to refute it, because he couldn't solve the problem.None of the floor tiles that can be used in the warehouse are similar in design and color to the wine pool, but there are two or three types of floor tiles that look good, but they have become brittle due to long storage time.If something goes wrong with the pool when the prince is on Letou, the consequences will be much more dire than not being able to build it now.

Ye Han kindly helped the two of them move the floor tiles back to the small courtyard. The scorching sun in the afternoon generously gave the earth sunshine. The three of them were panting from exhaustion and sweating profusely from the heat. They put down the floor tiles and sat on the ground to rest.

The young and strong Ye Han recovered after resting for a while.He drank a lot of water to quench his thirst, handed the cowhide bag containing water to Xia An, resisted the urge to laugh and said, "When I was your age, I was so stinky, I had to wash my face three times a day .”

Xia An's face immediately turned red like an overripe apple, but fortunately, she couldn't tell it at all.He worked in the muddy water for half a day and a night, and his clothes and face were covered with mud. He just washed his hands when he came back to cook.Everyone is like this, and he concentrated on thinking about the problem for a long time, and even forgot to wash it before going out.Xia An smiled embarrassedly, no wonder those people looked at them with strange eyes on the way to the warehouse.

He used to be so clean, but now... I have to say that this may be a good sign, he has begun to adapt to life here.

"I'm going to wash." Xia An scooped up half a scoop of water from the jar, and washed his face and neck sparingly.They have to go to work in the afternoon, so they probably don't have time to carry water.

"Wow, you look so beautiful." As soon as Xia An turned around, Ye Han pointed at him and shouted in surprise, but Ah Fu was too slow to cover his mouth.When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look, and they saw that Xia An, who was normally dark-skinned, had turned into a white, clean, delicate and pleasant young man.

This time Xia An's blush was completely exposed.He coughed and said: "Everyone should go to the field to work after enough rest. Don't move these floor tiles. We should focus on reviving and fixing the trees. There is likely to be a heavy rain tonight, so we have to dig. Talk about a drainage ditch to prevent the trees from dying due to excessive water accumulation, so that we don't have to replace the soil tomorrow."

Ah Fu asked: "Is it time to lay the floor tiles tomorrow? Today we can come back later and work a little longer."

"We can't take care of both the wine pool and the meat forest at the same time. We don't have enough supplies and manpower, so we can only give up one of them." Xia An patted Ah Fu on the shoulder and gave him a confident and encouraging smile.The latter suddenly grabbed a handful of ashes from the ground, wiped it on Xia An's face, and said in a low voice, "It's better to be ugly, and don't cause trouble for our Si'en Academy."

When they arrived at the venue, the gardeners hadn't left, they were still circling around the trees.Xia An stepped forward to ask if he was rescued.Gardener Lin gave Xia An a meaningful look: "The trees that fell down and were lifted up are still wilting, but changing the soil didn't lead to any bad results."

This is already the best news.Xia An was most afraid of hearing the gardener say that all the trees could not be saved, or that changing the soil would speed up the death, or that changing the soil would have no effect at all.

"Please be more considerate." Xia An saluted.

Lin Huajiang felt even more strange, but he didn't ask further, the most important thing now is to save his own life.Xia An heard that the gardeners didn't go to the dining room to eat, and immediately sent someone back to fetch some food left over at noon. Although the gardeners looked down on these foods, they were ugly and hard to swallow, but I was really hungry, so I ate some with a bitter face.

The sky was getting dark, so Xia An took the people back.Both Guanshi Han and Ah Fu wanted to do it for a while longer, but they understood that what Xia An said made sense, they could only guard one place, if they did too much, they would still be damaged by the torrential rain at night.It's better to go back and recharge your batteries, and fight again tomorrow, everyone is indeed very tired.

In the evening, when Ah Fu was cooking, he took the corn buns made by Xia An and let Ah Fu taste them. It took Ah Fu to drink three glasses of water to calm down the bad smell in his mouth.Xia An said awkwardly, "Each of you ate a lot at noon."

"I can't imagine that you can make this kind of taste." Ah Fu gave Xia An a disgusted look, quickly and accurately cut the vegetables into thin shreds with a knife, and said, "If you are willing to worship me As a teacher, I can teach you how to cook."

Learn to make corn buns and corn paste, and how to make vegetable soup?Shaking his head, Xia An said tactfully, "I'd better learn how to carry water and chop firewood first."

Ah Fu scolded: "Yeah, Zheng Da suffered such a serious injury and ran three trips to fill the water tank. You have to pick five trips. It seems that you eat a lot on weekdays. Why don't you keep any Pulled out."

Originally, everyone wanted to laugh when they heard these foul words, but when Ah Fu mentioned Zheng Da, everyone couldn't help thinking about their future, and immediately went back to sleep with their heads down.

Xia An pretended not to hear, and tried her best to finish the third bowl of mush.

Ah Fu lowered his eyes and said: "Don't be too sad, this is a common thing in the palace." I don't know when he will walk on the road of Zheng Da and enter the dog's stomach.

"En." Xia An replied vaguely, and quickly put away everyone's bowls and washed them.Everyone was so tired that they went to bed early.Xia An found a slender vegetable cutting knife from the kitchen, put it in his arms carefully, and walked up the mountain.

Xia An's sense of direction was inherently bad, so he made a mark on the road in order to accurately return to the cave where Zheng Da's body was placed.Dark clouds blocked the moonlight, and the night was dark and terrifying.Xia An didn't dare to light a lantern until he reached the foot of the mountain. He had to go to the venue first, and then start from the venue and follow the signs all the way to find the cave.

Finding the cave very smoothly, Xia An, who had been suppressed all this time, let out a suffocating breath in his chest, but for some reason there was a bad warning.Xia An rubbed her forehead, telling herself not to be too nervous, no matter how worried she was, it would be useless.

Zheng Da lay there quietly, his face was fat, his body was cold and stiff.Xia An knelt aside and sobbed uncontrollably.

It was the same when my father died, there were only the two of them.He kept watch over his father for two nights, until the dead body began to smell, and he woke up and panicked.He found the nanny, Mrs. Wang, but found out that the person the nanny married turned out to be a bad guy who bought and sold people.He asked his nurse to help him bury his father, so that he could rest in peace.However, Mrs. Wang's husband threatened him to pay back the money afterwards. How could he afford it, and finally he was forced to agree to sell himself.

And the person he called "Brother Zheng" was indeed like a brother.

He decided to keep vigil for Zheng Da, not wanting Zheng Da to leave alone.Zheng Da's wife didn't know the bad news yet, Xia An couldn't even inform Zheng Da, no one in the courtyard knew where Zheng Da's hometown was.He could only guard Zheng Da all night, and at dawn, he found an inconspicuous place to bury him, and he couldn't erect a monument or a grave, even making a mark was inconspicuous.

Xia An searched for a palm-sized stone that was not too hard and could be scratched by a knife in the cave. He planned to engrave Zheng Da's name on it and bury it in the soil with Zheng Da as a stele.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a thunderstorm outside, and Xia An shivered in fright. It was the first time he heard such a loud thunder in his life.He began to worry about Jiuchi Roulin, if the torrential rain tonight mercilessly took away his hard work, then tomorrow he should go to Huangquan Road to chase Zheng Da, but at that time, no one will watch the night for him and will give him a piece of loess.Is it true that you can't reincarnate if you enter the dog's stomach? Xia An's heart ached. He didn't want to die like this, and he didn't have a chance to live again.

After the shocking thunder sounded, the thunder sounded one after another.As Xia An listened, her thoughts became more and more desolate.Suddenly his hand slipped, and the tip of the knife slashed across his left middle finger, bringing out a thin streak of blood.Xia An was most afraid of pain, so he quickly put his hand into his mouth to suck.

Then I heard footsteps coming from the entrance of the cave, more than one person.Shocked, Xia An picked up Zheng Da's body and walked in. There was a depression on the left side of the cave, Xia An hugged the body and hid in.

The footsteps were getting closer, but it seemed that only one person came in.Even so, Xia An raised his heart to his throat, and restrained his breathing.

The sound of footsteps stopped not far away, and he seemed to be sitting down.After waiting for a while, Xia An gained courage and quietly poked his head out to look around.As soon as he moved, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and a blue light flashed in front of his eyes. Xia An didn't have time to think about it, he screamed shortly, and heard a "poof".

Xia An had just recovered from the shock, something cold was pressed against his neck.He cautiously looked to the left, it was a sharp dagger, the light on it proved that it was poisoned, and this dagger, Xia An saw it right, was heading towards his throat.However, thank God, thank the swordsman, he didn't cut a single wound on him. If he had a small wound, his life would have to be confessed here in advance.

"Why are you?" It was not difficult to hear surprise and doubt in the ice-like voice.

It was only then that Xia An saw carefully that the knife wielder turned out to be the master he scolded all day today. "Join the prince." Xia An slowly put the body down before kneeling down.Although he did it carefully, in fact, he was already terrified in his heart.He was going to die, and kept the rations of the prince's favorite dog. I don't know if the prince would pack him and send it to the dog's stomach.

Rongli walked to the other side and sat down cross-legged.He was very curious about what was in Xia An's mind. The first time we met, he was holding a pole, then he was holding clothes, and now it was even more outrageous, he was actually holding a corpse, and every time he met, he was shaking badly, and he became more and more sure that he was so The reason for the thinness lies in this, and it is all shaken out.

"Aren't you young and have no place to vent your anger?" Rong Li said deliberately.

In Xia An's mind, the palace is a place where it is easy to lose virginity. Although he is a man, Mrs. Wang said that there is no distinction between men and women in the palace, and anyone can be used to defile him.Xia An is also a scholar after all, and he firmly adheres to the principle of "a scholar can be killed but not humiliated".

As soon as he heard it, he knew what the prince meant.Angry and ashamed at the moment, he raised his blushing face and said sharply: "My lord, the dead are the greatest, please be careful with your words."
