"Hey, when will Xiao Lanzi grow up."
When Tong Xinlan walked into the yard, she heard the maid sighing.
Resisting the urge to look back at her, Tong Xinlan returned to the house with the paper bag.
The inside of the room is the Datong Shop, and the little eunuchs don't even think about having their own room. It's good to have a place.
Squeezing through sweaty tents with rough men and sleeping in the same room with a group of eunuchs, Tong Xinlan has no psychological barriers.
Tong Xinlan doesn't know what the client's daily life is like, but she knows that in the palace, she needs to make contacts. Without the little maid's reminder, she will also distribute the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to other off-duty eunuchs.
The rest of the little eunuchs took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she gave, and happily ran to share it. Tong Xinlan told everyone not to wake her up, so they curled up under the covers to read their memories.
A handsome man appeared in front of Tong Xinlan. If you look carefully, you can see that his face is white and beardless. It was a little more murderous than the eyes of those sissy little fresh meats.
This trace of fierce murderous aura made Tong Xinlan's heart tremble. It was because of how much blood she had been stained with to make people have such eyes.
"Hmph, that's right, you're not afraid of miscellaneous people." The man stroked his temples with his Lanhua fingers.
Because she knew that the other party was a eunuch, Tong Xinlan's ability to accept it was much better. If she brought in the other party's good-looking face, such a situation would actually be more kind and pleasing to the eye.
"Then, let me tell you about my request." The client should have successfully ascended to a high position later, so with a sense of arrogance, even if there is a request, he is not as weak as the client he met before .
"Tell me." Tong Xinlan made a gesture of invitation. The man raised his eyebrows and turned around, talking.
The man was called Wei Xinlan before he entered the palace. His father was a gentleman in the village, enjoying the respect and love of the villagers, and he also received the teachings of Confucius and Mencius since he was a child. In the future, when he grows up, he may be able to be admitted to fame. At worst, go home and become a teacher.
But fate is so impermanent.
Wei Xinlan's father had a classmate friend named Gaoliang Sheng. When the two of them went to Beijing together, they had betrothed their unborn child.
After that, Wei Xinlan's father failed the imperial examination, and Gao Liangsheng passed it early.
Wei Xinlan's father naturally worked hard several times. But still can't hit.
I don't know if the baby-child agreement in the early years is still valid. Anyway, the Gaoliang student in high school is an official in another place, and it has become difficult for the two to communicate.
But when they were able to communicate before, the Wei family knew that the Gao family had given birth to a daughter, Gao Ruyue.
Gao Liang was born because of his father's death. Ding You needs to return home.
When returning home, two people who have classmate friendship will naturally get together. But during the period, there was no mention of the marriage of the children. After all, the two children were still very young at this time, Wei Xinlan was 7 years old, and Gao Ruyue was 6 years old.
Adults get together. The child just played together.
At the same time, the girl serving Gao Ruyue is Gao Ruyue's maid, 9-year-old Dongmei.
The reason why I want to talk about Dongmei here is because Dongmei is the maid who gave the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Tong Xinlan. It also has a lot to do with Wei Xinlan's wish.
As Gao Ruyue's maid, Dongmei has been doing her best since she was a child. Beat and scold at will.
Gao Ruyue is not qualified as a lady of the family, but she is qualified as a young lady because she is very delicate.
Girls always know how to hide their shortcomings and show their perfect side to the opposite sex, even though she was only 6 years old.
However, just because she was only 6 years old, Gao Ruyue brought the eldest lady's willfulness to the extreme. Even in front of Wei Xinlan, she would shout at Dongmei and try her best to tease Dongmei. .
Wei Xinlan's three views, who were still young back then, had not yet fully formed. Moreover, out of ethics, master and servant were clearly distinguished in ancient times, so he would not interfere with how his playmates treated her maid.
Although she felt bad at first, but after watching Gao Ruyue become more and more knowledgeable about etiquette and knowledge, Wei Xinlan felt that she had grown up, and she fell in love with this girl whom her father said was her baby.
Two years passed quickly, and Gaoliang students entered Beijing again.
Without telling their parents, the two children also agreed to wait for the other to marry/marry themselves in the future.
When Wei Xinlan was 10 years old, Wei's father waited for a letter of recommendation from Gao's family, saying that he could help Wei's father find an official position, so as not to waste time in the village, but also to help his classmates.
It's a good thing, who wouldn't want to be an official? This is the ultimate dream of every scholar, and in this era, being nominated by an official is not a shameful thing, but a dream.
Naturally, Father Wei packed up and hurried to Beijing. Because he left in a hurry, he didn't bring his family with him.
Wei Xinlan is very happy. Uncle Gao is helping her family so much. In the future, he will work hard to earn fame so that he can be worthy of Gao Ruyue.
Wei Xinlan and Wei's mother waited for a long time, but they couldn't wait for the news of Wei's father. It was not until 2 years later that the news that Wei's father was beheaded because of a mistake came.
Mother Wei was furious because of this, and died of anger as soon as she rolled her eyes.
Wei Xinlan didn't believe that her father would make mistakes, so after setting up her mother, she went to Beijing to find Gao's family alone with the little money left after being divided by relatives, hoping to know why her father was executed.
It is very difficult for a child who has never left the county to travel long distances. After going through many hardships, Wei Xinlan finally arrived in the capital after walking for more than a year.
At this moment, Wei Xinlan is no different from a beggar, but his eyes are full of hope, and he will be able to go to Gaofu soon.
Because he had read the correspondence between his father and Gao Liangsheng, he knew the location of the Gao Mansion, so he went there on his own.
Unfortunately, he couldn't enter the Gao Mansion because he was covered in filth, and he didn't have any tokens to prove that he was an acquaintance of the master of the Gao Mansion.
Later, thanks to Dongmei who went out to help Ruyue buy pastries, she saw him and brought him into the Gaofu after a briefing.
After Wei Xinlan entered the mansion, Gao Liangsheng treated him very well and felt very guilty. Back then, Father Wei should not have been introduced to Beijing as an official. Father Wei was too honest and upright. He was framed by traitors and lost his life in the end.
Wei Xinlan hated that traitor whom he had never seen before, and vowed to study hard and become an official in the future to avenge his father and give him justice.
The move. He was praised by sorghum students. Just boast that brother Wei has a future.
Seeing this, Tong Xinlan didn't see any problems, she just felt that Wei Xinlan's childhood was rough. Fortunately, his father's classmate is a good person, if he encounters a bad person and drives him out of Gaofu, the lonely Wei Xinlan can only be a beggar.
Things seemed to be going in a good direction, and Wei Xinlan was also reviewing the study of Confucius and Mencius. While waiting for Gao Liangsheng to help him find a teacher to teach him to read.
Because I have something on my mind, and the two of them are now in older grades. Wei Xinlan has never been to the backyard to watch Gao Ruyue, she only thinks that she will pass the imperial examination in the future, and she will be worthy of her when she sees her again.
An accident happened again, and the emperor wanted to draft. No one can stop Gao Ruyue from meeting the criteria for being drafted into the palace.
You can't say that, if Mr. Gao Liang says that Gao Ruyue is already engaged. That Gao Ruyue still can not enter the palace, but he didn't say. Why didn't he say, Wei Xinlan didn't know, and he couldn't interfere, whether the other party was an elder, or the elder who took him in.
Before Gao Ruyue entered the palace, Wei Xinlan met her once.
The childish girl's face is full of uneasiness. Standing in the garden, she is like a delicate flower that is about to be bent by the dewdrops. Wei Xinlan really can't bear to put pressure on her, but she is concerned, "Kisara, are you afraid?"
"Scared." Gao Ruyue nodded, lowering her head, not daring to look directly into Wei Xinlan's eyes.
Maybe, it's because he has no face to face the man who broke his promise, or because he dare not say that he won't go, how can he be worthy of his father if he doesn't go. Wei Xinlan is a romantic and kind-hearted young man, that's what he's thinking at the moment.
But Tong Xinlan was here and saw the difference. Gao Ruyue didn't look at him, not only because of guilt, but Tong Xinlan couldn't see what it was.
"I heard that the palace is very big, but the people inside are not very friendly. You have to take care of yourself and don't let yourself suffer or be bullied. In the future, I may not be able to stay by your side anymore." The other party wanted to enter the palace, Wei Xinlan could only bless her, not all the daughters of officials who entered the palace could become concubines, and those who were not selected might stay in the palace as maids of honor.
Wei Xinlan's mood is complicated. His fiancée is about to enter the palace. He can't object. He can only pray for her to be well, but wishing her to become a concubine is to hope that she will become a woman. Such things, He still can't do it, but thinking that the other party can't be a concubine, and will suffer as a court lady for three years, how unacceptable it is for the girl who has been cared for by the Gao family and him.
He is confused.
"I also hope that Brother Lan will always be by my side. I want to be that little sister who is protected by you forever." Gao Ruyue suddenly raised her head, stared at Wei Xinlan with teary eyes and confessed affectionately.
"Like the moon!" Wei Xinlan deeply hated himself for being powerless, if he had the ability, he would be able to keep the woman he likes, but he is too young, and now he is not even a Juren.
Gao Ruyue didn't say anything else, she wiped her tears and took Dongmei back to the yard.
Wei Xinlan fell into deep self-blame at this point, he was still young and couldn't drink away his sorrows, so he could only run to the edge of the pool in a daze.
A burst of rustling voices sounded from the rockery behind, Wei Xinlan didn't move, only listening to the two talking.
"Tell me about what storytelling you listened to when you left the palace today?" A curious female voice asked.
"Then let me tell you, Mr. Jiang Shu is talking about the story of the former empress dowager today." A young man replied.
"Wow, it's been secret in the palace, isn't he afraid of beheading?" the woman asked again.
"You are stupid. You have said that it is a matter of the previous dynasty, and has nothing to do with the current emperor. This is not talking about the emperor's harem. Don't be afraid. Do you still want to listen?" The servant seemed a little annoyed. threatened.
"I want to listen, tell me quickly." The servant girl begged.
Wei Xinlan originally planned to leave quietly. He is an upright gentleman. He was taught by Confucius and Mencius, so he would not eavesdrop on other people's private conversations. What is it, maybe it can resolve my worries.
I just heard the boy tell a story that was used badly in the TV series of Tong Xinlan's era.
It is nothing more than the former empress dowager entering the palace for a draft, and a man who is obsessed with her enters the palace to serve her around. The touched woman walked through one trap after another, and finally, the man helped the beloved woman ascend the throne of the Queen Mother.
So there really was such a story in ancient times?
Tong Xinlan listened to the story told by the servant, and thought to herself, would it be too coincidental to hear such a story from the servant girl of the Gao Mansion when the woman Wei Xinlan likes is about to enter the palace?
It was so coincidental that someone deliberately arranged to tell Wei Xinlan.
This guy, he wouldn't have listened to such a story so naively, he would enter the palace from the palace!
If her client really did this, she really doesn't know what to say.
Dongfang Bubai came from the palace to practice martial arts skills. If he came to the palace like this, well, well, if he came from the palace for a worthy woman to accompany him for the rest of his life, Tong Xinlan would still be moved by him. Think about those scumbags who have wives and still mess around, such a man who stays in the palace for the woman he loves, no matter how stupid he is, Tong Xinlan still admires it.
Having experienced her father being framed by an adulterer, her mother dying of anger, and being bullied by her relatives in her childhood, Wei Xinlan will naturally not be as impulsive as those innocent sons who only have love in their hearts, and will be desperate for love.
So, at that time, Wei Xinlan just lamented the affection and devotion of the man in the story, and felt ashamed of herself.
After all ~IndoMTL.com~Wei Xinlan still has her own pursuit in her heart, besides, the draft has not started yet, if Gao Ruyue loses the election, if she only needs to be a maid in the palace for 3 years, he can still use these three years Study hard, test for fame, and use your official title to welcome Gao Ruyue out of the palace.
Seeing this, Tong Xinlan was relieved, she didn't feel that Wei Xinlan was a heartless person, what would happen to his father's grievances if he entered the palace for the sake of a woman? That is unfilial.
However, Tong Xinlan was even more puzzled, why did such a boy with a strong heart still enter the palace in the end?
After Gao Ruyue entered the palace and waited for the election, although Wei Xinlan was in a low mood, he still studied hard. He forced himself to study hard. When the time comes, Ruyue will be the young master or the palace maid. It is useless for him to worry.
The time for candidates passed quickly, and finally it was time for the draft.
Wei Xinlan couldn't see the scene of the draft, so Tong Xinlan imagined it, it was probably similar to when Zhen x passed on the draft, right?
After a day of anxious waiting, the Gao Mansion finally received the news that Gao Ruyue was defeated... (To be continued.)
