It is not easy to live in the capital for a long time now, but Liuzhang and the others cannot accurately obtain the exact location of their garrison. If they continue walking aimlessly like this, they may starve to death without being able to join the army.
Lu Xinyi came to a bridge. This is a place where workers are recruited. People who can't find work will come here, and families who need people will come here to hire people. She planned to work for others first to save some travel expenses.
The little fat man was arguing with the slaves on the side. He sounded like an old seller.
"Just come with me! Not to mention a few girls, I have also sold men from the demon clan. Don't believe it. I sold a big dragon back then. As you can tell, that demon clan The man from the clan is really good-looking. I sold it for five thousand dollars!”
The old man selling the little girl was still a little worried. It is unheard of that one person can be sold for five thousand dollars! As expected, the man questioned:
"You said it was sold for five thousand yuan, then please tell me in detail who you sold it to, maybe it was sold to a girl's family, hahaha!"
"It's really a girl!" The fat man said proudly, "What's even more incredible is that the girl finally married He gave it to the richest man in the town, and not only that, he also opened a tavern. Hey, what do you think happened to that big dragon?” He was kicked out again!" everyone shouted in unison.
“Look at your magnanimity!” The fat man raised an index finger and pointed at the man, then said in a conspiratorial manner, “That girl opened a winery, and the big black dragon became the waiter of the winery! You He said that the rich young man wanted money and good looks, but now he even has a cuckold!"
"Hahahaha..."
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. Lu Xinyi was a little helpless. These people were spreading rumors and they were really bragging about not paying taxes! She sat aside and waited all morning. It was almost noon when she saw a young man coming with a money bag.
"Hey, our master wants some little girls. Are there any girls between the ages of eleven and eighteen to sign up?"
As soon as these words came out, a group of young people immediately gathered. The girl rushed to answer, and Lu Xinyi naturally also Raising their hands to fight for it, the boy took a look, picked out two or three, and said:
"You, you, you, you guys come with me."
A few people followed. The boy, after a while, arrived in front of a tall and wealthy house.
The boy turned around and said to several people: "This is the Duke's Mansion. When you enter the Duke's Mansion, you must understand that doing something wrong is not just as simple as not getting paid. If you are not careful, you can lose your head." It’s possible, do you know?”
Everyone bowed: “I know.”
< br>Immediately, the servant led a few people into the mansion. Lu Xinyi looked at the surrounding furnishings and decorations, and there was nothing that was not in the style of Jingguo. But in the past in Jingcheng, she never knew that there was such a courtyard here, and now The Yue Kingdom is in power, and the Duke should be from the Yue Kingdom. Why is the courtyard still using people from the Jing Kingdom?
She stepped forward and said to the young man: "Sir, this mansion is so beautiful, but I have never been out of the house, and I am not very literate. I don't know which prince lives in this mansion. Huh?" The young man chuckled, in this mansion He was used to being called by nicknames, but the title "Sir" sounded particularly smooth. He couldn't help but feel happy, but said in a deep voice:
"I know you girls don't have much experience in movies. How old are you?"
"Sir, fourteen."
The boy smiled and said: "So that's it, that's right. After our Yuejun came to power, in order to avoid wasting the people and ruining the money, we specially let the princes and nobles live here. In the original house in Jingcheng, the Duke of Guo made a As your Majesty's uncle, of course you should set an example! This building is the general's mansion from the Prospect Kingdom. I heard that it was awarded to the young captain. It's a pity that the mansion had just been repaired when the war was defeated. The general was Didn’t even stay for a day! ”
< br>Xin Yi cupped her hands and smiled and said: "It is our Duke who is blessed. It should be the Duke's things, and others cannot enjoy them."
After saying that, she stepped aside and followed the others through brick by brick. , a corridor, a wing, all that she recalled in her mind It's Liu Zhang's every move - all because the scenery here is the same as that of the imperial palace, and sometimes it even has the appearance of a princess's palace, such as the apple tree lying across the pavilion, or the particularly abrupt landscape in the open space. Stall - A stake used to tie wild animals.
Lu Xinyi felt a lump in his throat, and only at this moment did he understand the feeling of things being different and people being different.
Everyone had washed up. Lu Xinyi, who was sitting on the kang, hugged his legs and was in a daze. The girl on the side said:
"What's wrong, are you homesick now? This is only the first day. ! Go to bed early, you will still work tomorrow!"
Lu Xinyi nodded, opened the quilt and lay down, homesick? Yes, her princess mansion is still there, and the palace is also there, but why does she have no home?
Seeing that she was full of worries, the little girl did not try to persuade her. After the few of them went to bed, it soon ushered in the late night of spring.
The next day, the housekeeper called a few people together and said:
"Everyone, our Duke's mansion currently needs manpower for four courtyards. One is the courtyard of the old lady, and the other is the courtyard of the prince. The third is the stables and laundry room at the back. The prince’s yard has the highest monthly income. There are many, followed by the stables, followed by the laundry, and finally the old lady’s yard. I wonder what each of you has in mind?”
Lu Xinyi thought to himself, the politics of the Moon Country were quite clear in ancient times. , there are very few employers that allow employees to make their own choices! She originally wanted to choose a place with the most money per month, but she thought that there is no such thing as free food, let alone whether this prince is a big pervert, so she decided to be careful with the Thirty-six Strategies, so she signed up for the stable.
After changing her clothes, she went to the stable to recognize the horse. The old servant pointed to the stable in the far corner and said:
“Remember, the horses here are all of the best quality. There are good horses, only the one at the end. You are your stable boy, feed the horse as you should, but don’t worry about irrelevant things.”
Looking at the stable in the distance, Lu Xinyi squinted her eyes and saw that the stable seemed narrower than the previous one, and there was no horse head on the stone trough. She expected that it was a pony, so He bowed to the old servant respectfully: "Thank you, sir, for your advice."
The old servant took her around again and explained to her the steps of the work. The day passed quickly. Sent over.
In order to make it easier for her to take care of the horses, she was specifically allowed to live in a small thatched house next to the horse tent. In the middle of the night, Lu Xinyi woke up from her room. When she arrived in Jingguo for the first time, she couldn't help but find it hard to sleep. She saw the moonlight shining brightly. She put on some clothes and went down to the ground. When she opened the door, she saw the horses' shiny coats. It shines beautifully in the moonlight.
She walked from stable to stable, from the beginning to the end. As she walked, she couldn't help but secretly exclaimed:
"The horses in the Moon Kingdom are indeed all horses. So beautiful."(End of Chapter)
