Sometimes the palace is sunny

"Girl, are you still going to the school grounds today?"

Holding the ermine cloak in his hand, A Chi looked at "my girl" carefully.

"Since all the women in Zhuangzi have been brought to the school field to practice together, if they can practice me, can't they?"

When he was talking, Zhao Surui looked at the man Yesa who was wearing his body, and felt very unhappy in his heart.

No matter how tall he is, he is tall and majestic in his clothes, Shen Sanfei's small body is like a child stealing an adult's clothes in these clothes made according to his size.

A Chi muttered at the side.

Ever since the girl had a fit that day, the words between her and these maidservants have become less intimate. She is better. The girl let her get close anyway. Tunan is really neglected. Liu Tianxing, who was eating and drinking, was unwilling to call Tunan again.

This made Ah Chi even more anxious and uncomfortable. In the final analysis, if she could stop Shen Yan from the very beginning, such a series of disasters would not have happened.

"Tell the kitchen that I'm tired of eating chicken, mutton, and pork, and let them get some fresh ones."

"Yes, girl."

Putting on the cloak, Zhao Surui went straight out, leaving A Chi in the yard, staying for a while, she stomped her feet angrily, and went to the kitchen with her skirt.

"Tunan, you should think of a way to admit your mistake to the girl. How can a maid be so stubborn with her master?"

In the kitchen, Tu Nan took off his clean coat as usual, and only wore an apron over his middle coat. Today, he prepared pork for the outside. A live pig weighed more than 300 catties, and there was still a pile of meat after the offal and pig's head had been dug out. Good meat, with a sharp knife in her hand, Tunan shaved off the meat completely from the bone, and then she cut it into half a catty strips and threw them into the pot with cold water. His movements were extremely neat, two blades cut a piece of meat, and a pork leg quickly went into the pot.

A Chi watched from the side, feeling depressed for a while.

A Chi could hear the dispute between the girl and Tu Nan that day clearly. From the bottom of her heart, A Chi also felt that Shao Zhiqing's crimes were not worthy of death, but if Tu Nan got married to the girl because of Shao Zhiqing, she would feel that It's not worth the candle.

"Tunan, after all, we are the only girls. You grew up with girls, so be soft on girls..."

"Achi." Tunan scooped water from the bucket and poured it into the pot, squatted down, added some hay to the fire pond, and added a few pieces of firewood.

After finishing all this, she picked up the towel and wiped her hands before turning to look at A Chi.

"What kind of people are we girls?"

A Chi was stunned by her words.

Tunan lowered his head and looked at the traces of bones and minced meat on his body, with a flat expression:

"Do you still remember that there used to be a mother surnamed Li in the back kitchen of Xie's family. She not only beat and scolded the little girl on weekdays, but also bullied us. One night, she offended Uncle Xie by stealing wine in the yard and was punished. Uncle kicked him into the pond and drowned for half an hour, and died within two days after being brought back by his family."

Of course Ah Chi remembered that the old woman surnamed Li was very bad, because it was the old man of the Xie family who not only stole the little girl’s food, but even dared to adulterate their girls’ things, beat and scolded the girl when they drank too much, the worst thing was Uncle Xie's old concubines have long since fallen out of favor because of old age and color. Mrs. Sun is a sweet-faced and bitter-spirited woman, and let four or five of them live in a side courtyard, euphemistically called "companion children" ", I don't know how many times I was beaten and scolded by Mrs. Li because of stuttering. After Mrs. Li died, the faces of those old aunts were bright for two days.

"What do you say these have to do with you now?"

Tu Nan tilted his head, and still spoke softly:
"I remember that when Mrs. Li just died, many little maids said that Uncle Xie was wise and kicked a damned one to death."

She glanced at A Chi:
"Later, within half a month, Hong Fu also died."

In an instant, A Chi twisted the corner of his clothes.

Hongfu and Qingying Xiahe were the same as before, they both served in Mrs. Ning Anbo's Mrs. Sun's room. Compared with the quiet Qingying and the pungent Xiahe, Hongfu has long sleeves and dances well and handles things properly. She is easy to talk to, and has friendship with her in private.

After taking a small step back, A Chi took a long breath. The inside and outside of the kitchen were always cleaned by Tu Nan's people, but they still couldn't hide the smell of blood and flesh and the smell of various spices. The messy smell condensed on her. In her viscera, her heart was wrapped up.

The day before Hongfu's death, they just had a drink together, the peach blossom wine that the girl specially asked her to bring, because Hongfu was about to marry, and Hongfu's own mother was Mrs. Sun's dowry maid. Her mother had already left, and Mrs. Sun also took good care of her. The marriage she pointed out was that Mrs. Sun was specially asked to marry the young steward of the village as a dowry.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Hong Fu's face was flushed, and she whispered in a thin voice: "I've seen that man before. He delivered the account book for his father, and Madam asked me to go out and pick it up."

A group of maids laughed together and quickly joked: "How do you look? He saw that sister Hongfu couldn't move her legs, right?"

In the small ear room, laughing, shouting, all rolled into a ball with the smell of alcohol.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, A Chi gave Hong Fu a handkerchief as a congratulatory gift.

There are four words embroidered with flowers on the handkerchief: "a match made in heaven".

Hongfu looked at the handkerchief, and smiled slowly on her face. The peach blossom wine and the daughter's shame are all the best rouge in the world, which complements the peach blossom-like girl.

But one day, the peach blossoms were soaked into a lifeless gray-white by the cold pool water.

The steward didn't allow anyone to approach, and a few maids pulled A Chi's arm to prevent her from looking at it, but A Chi still saw that Hong Fu's skirt was torn.

Uncle Xie had two red marks on his neck, which disappeared after a few days.

Xie's lotus pond has become a place that the little maids dare not pass by at night.

The girl who looked like a peach blossom eventually became the dry mud of Ning Anbo's mansion.

Standing at the door of the kitchen, A Chi lowered his head: "Why do you mention these things to hurt my heart."

Tu Nan sighed softly: "Achi, what's the difference between the death of Mrs. Li and the death of Hongfu? But they all died in vain. When Mrs. Li died, people clapped their hands and applauded. What about when Hongfu died? Shao Zhiqing offended the girl's authority Power, after all, death is not a crime, the girl wants to kill Shao Zhiqing just to gain prestige, if I can kill Shao Zhiqing for the sake of love with the girl, what if the girl kills others for the sake of prestige in the future, do you think Shao Zhiqing is just an outsider , but what if the girl wants me to kill Peifeng, Chuiyun, or you? A Chi, the prestige gained by exchanging human life can make Mrs. Li die in the pond, and Hong Fu can also die in the pond , and after all, you and I can’t just be glad that it wasn’t you and me who died every time.”

A Chi raised his head and looked at the ordinary girl in front of him who was a maid like him. After a while, she said:
"That's the girl! She..."

"If I kill Shao Zhiqing, then I will really kill the girl in our hearts."

Surprised and frightened in her heart, something seemed to flash through A Chi's mind. She stared blankly at Tu Nan, but found that she never seemed to understand her.

"Tunan..."

Tunan slowed down his tone:
"Take good care of the girl. The girl was right in saying something the day before yesterday. This Zhuangzi belongs to our girl, so people must understand it in their hearts. They can no longer be confused like you and Shao Zhiqing. Don't talk about the Shen family, but what is there in this world? It is worthy of our girl's reliance, and we will not be in this village now, if you still can't figure it out, go to the donkey pen to see that Xie Feng'an, he should be our girl's reliance in legal terms, but what is it? Instead of thinking about the young master of the Shen family, you should think about how you can become the girl's reliance."

"Miss Tunan, the pot is boiling!"

Tu Nan took off the veil covering his hair, turned around and lifted the lid of the pot, and scooped off the foam floating in the broth with a large spoon.

Seeing how busy she was, Ah Chi took a step back, and then backed out, all the way out of the kitchen. When the cold wind blew, she realized that her face was already drenched.

Although it took more than a month to move the stone bricks, Shen Sanfei's body was comparable to that of a rough servant girl, the wooden stick used as a spear was stuck on the ground, Zhao Surui couldn't breathe for a while.

Miscalculation, he shouldn't have said that he doesn't eat chicken, mutton and pork. Now he can eat three roast chickens alone!
"Woooooo! I don't think I can get enough of half a catty of pork! It's a loss for me to practice like this!"

Zhao Surui turned back and saw Liu Tianxing had already sat on the ground, refusing to move, yelling that she was hungry.

"No promise."

The wise and mighty Emperor Zhaode was spinning a roast chicken in his head, and he still disliked others. He knew that he couldn't show timidity in front of these people, so he forced himself to walk a few steps before being supported by Peifeng.

"Girl, did I practice too long today?"

"No!" Emperor Zhaode never gave up, "Very good, Peifeng, you have the talent to run an army."

After finishing speaking, he used Pei Feng's cover to help his waist.

"What do those furry kids over there do?"

Lifting his chin and looking at some ragged children not far away, Zhao Surui asked casually.

"Girl, that's a girl from a tenant family. She's less than fourteen years old, so she shouldn't be able to practice, and she won't get any meat. It's just that when Tunan cooks meat, there will be some meat and bone broth. Give them some."

Sure enough, Tunan brought out the meat, and the trained people lined up to receive the meat. The little girls also dug out pottery pots and bowls from the haystack and scattered them in the crowd. behind.

Zhao Surui watched coldly, most of the men in the tenants took a few big mouthfuls of the cooked meat first, and then went back with a bowl with a smile on their faces, and some younger men simply sat on the ground and ate the meat directly with bread.

A small number of men will carefully carry the meat back.

Tong Wu Tong Jiu brothers are two of them.

Since he not only practiced the maids in the village, there were more than a dozen women from tenant families in the crowd. They were either timid or rushed to do everything first, and some of them ate a few bites first after taking the meat , More is to take both the meat and the cake home.

As for the little girls who were waiting to get the soup, when it was their turn, the woman who helped Tunan divide the meat filled their earthenware pots with a wooden spoon, and put a few pig bones under the wooden basin. gave them.

Tunan's craftsmanship is naturally good. Even the meat stewed in a big pot can make the whole school grounds overflow with meat fragrance.

Those little girls whose hands and feet were purple from the cold ran all the way back holding clay pots, and none of them ate meat and drank soup like those boys who were only a little older than them.

With the ermine cloak wrapped around his body, Zhao Surui was a little puzzled:

"Why don't those little girls eat meat and drink soup?"

Pei Feng didn't make a sound, the one who answered his question was Qing Ying who was mostly in good health and was helping to distribute the cakes on the school grounds.

"Girl, if they eat meat and drink soup, they will be beaten when they go back."

Zhao Surui tilted his head and glanced at her: "Then how can men eat meat on the spot? Are they not afraid of being beaten?"

Qingying laughed: "Girl, who would dislike the fact that the men in their own family eat too much? Even if they brought meat back, most of them ate it themselves. Those little girls brought the meat and soup back for their families. As for themselves Can you eat it... Girl, instead of worrying about whether they can eat it, you should worry about whether they will be beaten and scolded if they go back late and bring less."

Shaking her head, Qingying patted the empty pan for cake distribution, and brought it back to Zhuangzi.

Putting both hands in front of him, tapping the knuckles of the other hand with his fingers, the words Shen Sanfei said that night suddenly sounded in Zhao Surui's mind:
"...Although I can't even be a human being, it's better than His Majesty can't even be a human being."

"Oh!"

Pei Feng watched helplessly as his girl suddenly slapped him on the forehead, his frozen wooden face was about to crack open in fright.

"girl?"

"I'm fine! Leave it alone!"

Zhao Surui raised his slightly red forehead: "Since the kitchen is too busy, let those little maids come in to do some errands of washing and choosing vegetables, and make clean new clothes for each of them, and then... take care of it every day. For a meal, I just want to make it clear that the meals on our Zhuangzi can only be eaten in the Zhuangzi and are not allowed to be taken away."

"Yes."

"Hmph!" Zhao Surui turned around and walked into the village, walked two steps, then backed away:
"Explain the rules to them clearly. By the way, since they are people in our village, if they are beaten and scolded again, do you know how to deal with them?"

"Don't worry girl."

"Um--"

Zhao Surui took two more steps, but retreated again.

Pei Feng didn't know, so he asked, "Girl?"

"My order, isn't it good?" the wise and mighty Emperor Zhaode asked Peifeng with raised eyes.

Pei Feng quickly replied: "Miss has always been safe in things."

Zhao Surui was still not satisfied, he stared at it without blinking, and he changed the way of asking:
"I treat it like a human being, right?"

like a person?What means?
The honest Pei Feng was stunned for a moment: "Girl, Pei Feng doesn't understand what you mean."

Rolling his eyes, Zhao Surui snorted again, and walked away swaggeringly.

... He didn't really shake it. After all, his waist is sore and his legs are weak now, his upper body is shaking, and his lower body is still dragging.

Siri Zhao: I am not affected by Shen Sanfei's words!snort!
Shen Shiqing: Oh

It may be due to the fever, and I always want to tell stories, so yesterday I told the story of Zhang Wu, and today I told the story of Hongfu. The incident of Hongfu drowning in the lotus pond was mentioned in the description of Ning'an Bofu.
