Chapter 178 Life is too real, even the princess has to bow her head
The work supervisor in the distance immediately glanced at them after hearing the sound.
This does not concern why the two of them had a dispute or even fought.
Just because the two of them were stuck there and didn't take the time to work, they were very dissatisfied.
Seeing that the dispute between the two men had not stopped, the supervisor frowned in displeasure and shouted at them: "Hey, hey, hey! What are you two doing? If you don't hurry up, you don't want the wages.
Isn’t it?”
"I'm warning you. I'll give you a few more breaths. If you don't make any move, you'll all get out of here today!"
"Damn it, you sneaked into my place because of your laziness. That's enough."
After finishing speaking, the supervisor cursed and walked out.
It can be seen that his temper is extremely hot.
After the words fell, the person who was hit glared at the braider angrily, and then left in a hurry.
Bian Ji was very helpless about this. Who made him feel inferior?
If you want size but not size, if you want friends but no friends, you can only let others bully you.
"Oh, no one is in control."
Bian Ji sighed, with a bitter look on his face.
Immediately, he picked up the fallen goods again and walked into the warehouse.
While on the road, Bianji suddenly felt a sense of regret in his heart.
Because he thought that he was exhausted from working here during the day, and that when he went back at night, he would not be able to rest in peace, and he had to cook for the always pampered Princess Gaoyang, so he felt more and more regretful.
He began to miss the days in the temple before he eloped with Princess Gaoyang, and suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing to eat sutras and chant Buddha every day. It was better than suffering and being burdened here.
At least, someone will bring you food every meal, so you don’t have to work hard to make a living, and you don’t have to be looked down upon by others.
Even though he understood, at this point, no matter how much he talked or thought, he could only accept his fate and immerse himself in work.
Who made him choose this path? He can't blame anyone at all. He can only blame himself for being young and frivolous.
At this moment, at home, Princess Gao Yang was holding the clothes she was about to mend. Because her vision was blurred by sweat, she could not see the appearance of the clothes clearly. She couldn't help but raise her hand to rub her sore eyes.
She stared at the needle and thread every day, her eyes hurt, and her hands ached.
Ever since she was little, Princess Gaoyang has been pampered and pampered, with the most noble blood flowing through her body. Why is she now in such a state of decline?
This was completely different from what she had imagined before.
When she was in the palace, she always fantasized that when she was with Bianji in the future, she would look at her dear man every day, and even her breathing would be sweet.
After all, my sister Changle is like this too.
Since my sister followed Qin Wenyuan, not only did she have her own love, but she also had bread.
However, after the person was replaced by himself, how...how could it be like this?
Gao Yang sighed.
Now, I have fulfilled my wish and am with the man I love most.
But, but!!
The breath is not filled with freedom, but with the bitter taste of life.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but sigh again, then pulled the needle and thread in her hand and started to continue working.
"Miss Xia He, are you in the room?"
At this time, Butler Su's voice came from outside the house, and he was very kind.
Princess Gao Yang quickly put down what she was holding and went out.
That was her employer, and all the sewing work she had done these days belonged to them, so she didn't dare to neglect it.
If you are neglectful, your wages will be lost, and your place to live may also be lost.
Princess Gao Yang quickly walked to the door, opened it, looked at the kind Butler Su outside, put on a fake smile and said: "Butler Su, why is it you? It's not time yet, why are you here?"
"It's nothing, I'm just taking a look around, Miss Xia He, don't take it to heart."
Butler Su smiled politely, then waved to the boy who was following him, and handed over some clothes.
These are the clothes of the servants of the house. If you take them to a tailor shop to mend them, not only will they be expensive, but when the people in the shop see that they are servants' clothes, they will not be able to mend them properly. They will just mend them casually.
It's over.
So, he found these women to help him. They were cheap and thoughtful, so it was a good deal.
"Isn't this some more clothes? I still have to trouble Miss Xia He to mend these for me. In terms of wages..."
Having said this, Butler Su paused, weighed his fingers, and seemed to be thinking about the price.
After a while, he smiled and said: "The price remains the same."
Princess Gao Yang quickly took it and said with a smile: "Steward Su, I understand. You gave me all the work. How can this be called trouble? You are obviously the one taking care of me."
Butler Su nodded. He didn't even bother to say polite words to these women. After seeing Princess Gaoyang take all the clothes that needed to be mended, he led his servants away directly.
Princess Gao Yang, her expression completely changed the moment Butler Su left.
She is a high-ranking princess, but now she has to act like a servant and talk to others in such a condescending manner.
She was suddenly unsure of her original intention to elope with the braider.
Perhaps the grievances and hardships she is suffering now are all due to her eloping with the braiding machine.
But even so, life still has to go by!
Princess Gaoyang has always been a face-saving person, but now that she has broken with her father, Emperor Li Shimin, she will not go back even if she regrets it.
She resignedly took her clothes and entered the room, sat down at the table again, and began to mend stitch by stitch.
I don't know how much time passed, but a very sour pain came from her eyes again. She closed her eyes just as the spy's needle tip actually pierced her finger.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain that made her drop what she was holding.
Princess Gao Yang squeezed the pricked finger tightly and looked at the blood drops emerging from her fingertips. All the grievances seemed to turn into tears at this moment, completely soaking her eyes.
Now she suddenly couldn't figure out why she chose to elope with Bian Ji. If she had followed the plan and even got married, no matter how much she disliked Fang Jun or how much she hated Fang Jun, her life would always be guaranteed.
She used to be a princess, even if she was not Princess Changle, her father's favorite eldest daughter, she was still a princess. At least she lived the life of a young mistress, with clothes to put out her hands, food to open her mouth, and no worries about food.
If he has the ability, he can make Fang Jun face him like he faces his little ancestor, not daring to offend him in anything, but obeying him in everything.
But now...it's gone, everything is gone!
To be honest, Princess Gaoyang really regretted it. If she could, she might not make such a choice again.
…………
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
Princess Gaoyang was sitting at the table embroidering a handkerchief, when a sound suddenly came from the rice vat in the distance.
She was startled, but then she got used to it and moved the rice vat away.
I saw four or five rats of different sizes nesting under the rice vat. They had dug a hole in the corner of the wall. Now that someone had discovered them, they all got into the hole one after another.
"This...mouse is actually a mouse!!"
Princess Gao Yang was horrified and quickly closed the rice vat, then ran outside the house and began to breathe out continuously.
She is most afraid of mice!
As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, she grew up in fine clothes and fine food, and the pets she raised were cats and dogs with the most noble bloodlines, but what about now?
She is no different from a country woman now.
I remember that when she was still in the palace, she would be scared to death if a mouse appeared in her bedroom.
Countless palace maids and eunuchs were scared to death, fearing that Gao Yang would be frightened and blame them, so there would often be dozens of people chasing a mouse and shouting to kill it.
Look at it now, haha, how ironic.
Groups of four or five rats built their nests where she lived, but she could only drive them away by herself.
Suddenly, a wave of grievance filled my heart, and tears soaked my eyes.
Princess Gaoyang couldn't even remember how many times she had cried since her elopement.
But, what can be done about this?
This is a choice she made on her own, and she has to keep going no matter how hard or tired she is.
Gao Yang cried for a while, then calmed down, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, took the only copper coins left at home and went out.
Originally, there was still a lot of rice left in the rice vat, which was enough for today or even tomorrow. However, there was a leak in the house and it rained all night. Now all the rice was eaten by the mice, so I had to go out and buy some more.
Time passed slowly, and at night, Bianji returned home sweating profusely as usual.
In the past ten days, he has been working under the scorching sun every day. The skin of the originally fair and clean little monk has been tanned, like a rough man, and his original appearance has completely disappeared.
It looks like it can catch the eye of Princess Gaoyang.
Gao Yang never looked at him again because of this.
"We're back, Ding Lin. Go and cook quickly. After dinner, go to bed early." Princess Gao Yang listened to the voice and said coldly while pulling needle and thread under the candlelight without raising her head.
After hearing this, Bianji looked at the woman at the table in front of him who was no different from a woman. He finally sighed, then without saying anything, he walked directly to the back of the house.
Forget it, she is a princess after all, and now she can do such menial work to help him supplement his family income, which is already very good, so be content.
Having convinced himself in this way, Bianji tidied away the leftover dishes and chopsticks from the last meal and started to light a fire to cook.
The days repeated like this every day, but it was much more painful than before when he knocked on sutras and chanted Buddha's name every day.
Another day passed.
Early in the morning of the second day, before it was fully lighted up and the roosters had not crowed, Bianji had already gone out to work.
He was used to this kind of days of going out early and coming back late, so he fantasized about it every day. If he hadn't been so mad and led Princess Gaoyang to elope, maybe... maybe he would have become the youngest in the temple now.
An eminent monk.
Bianji really regretted it more and more.
But Princess Gaoyang herself regrets it?
Until long after the debater left, the tears from the corners of my eyes were still flowing down onto the pillow, making it wet.
"Miss Xia He! Miss Xia He!"
Not long after Bian Ji left, the genius Meng Mengliang and Princess Gaoyang were called by a very stout woman.
The woman, dressed in colorful brocade clothes and wearing exaggerated jewelry, looked like a nouveau riche, the head matron of a landlord's family in the area.
In the past, Princess Gaoyang would have scorned such people.
But now she didn't dare to neglect at all, she quickly got up and got dressed, quickly opened the door, and asked with a smile: "Mrs. Lin, it's you, why did you come to pick it up so early today?"
The arrogant princess whose edges have been smoothed by life is now bowing down and talking to a common people.
"I'm here to get those clothes." Mrs. Lin said angrily.
Princess Gao Yang smiled and said: "I understand, Mrs. Lin, please come with me."
As she spoke, Princess Gaoyang led Mrs. Lin in and started serving tea. Then she began to look for the clothes she had sent over for her to mend a few days ago.
"Okay, okay, don't bring the crude tea here to me to rinse my mouth. You pour it for me, and I have to drink it."
Mrs. Lin glanced at Princess Gaoyang with disdain, and then continued: "Have you found it? I came to pick up my master's clothes today. Have his clothes been mended?"
Princess Gao Yang quickly took out the neatly folded clothes in the corner and said with a smile: "It's mended, it's mended, Mrs. Lin, here, give it to you."
Mrs. Lin disliked the clothes she had touched, so she reluctantly took them.
There is still a faint fragrance permeating the clothes, and this fragrance is the smell of the sachet hanging on Princess Gaoyang when she eloped with Monk Bianji. These clothes were recently placed in the same corner as the sachet.
So it also has a fragrance.
Mrs. Lin frowned when she smelled it, threw the clothes on Princess Gao Yang's face, and said angrily: "What kind of smell is this! There was no such smell when I sent these clothes to you."
After saying that, she dropped her clothes directly to the ground.
Princess Gaoyang suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart, but she endured it and secretly gritted her teeth.
If she were in the palace now, who would dare to do this to her?
But life forced her to give in, and she had to apologize with a smile on her face, "Mrs. Lin, calm down, these clothes are probably stained with the smell of my sachet. You old man, just wash them after you go back and it will be gone. Don't worry."
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin sneered and said: "Stained with the smell of your sachet? Haha, interesting, I think you deliberately put my master's clothes and your sachet together, right?"
Princess Gao Yang was startled and her face suddenly darkened.
"Mrs. Lin, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Don't you know it in your heart? Vixen! I just said that my master asked you to mend his clothes by name. It turns out that you, the vixen, secretly seduced my master. Do you still want to show your respect? As a married man.
