An alluring aroma of rice lingered in my nose. It smelled so good, just like the rice porridge my mother cooked. I felt hungry, so hungry! My eyes moved slightly and a bright light came to cover up the dazzling light. My nose flicked. The soreness finally came back. I weakly shouted: "Mom..."
"Girl, are you awake?" A crisp and joyful voice sounded in my ears. I blocked the bright light with my hand, and opened my eyes to see a simple and honest little girl, smiling at me, holding a bowl in her hand. The porridge was fragrant. The bowl of porridge was really tempting. I got up and swallowed. After eating the bowl of porridge, I felt better.
"Where is this?" I looked around disappointedly. I just thought I had returned to my home in modern times. I saw that this was a small room, except for a table. There was nothing else on the table except a mirror, a small stool and a small stool under my body. There was a small bed, a washbasin and a hand towel, but nothing else.
"This is the backyard, my name is Xiao Taozi, what's your name? Where do you live? Do you have any relatives?" Xiao Taozi looked at Mengyao sympathetically, seeing how thin and weak she was, quite pitiful.
"My name is Shen Mengyao, call me ugly girl. I don't know where I come from, and I don't have any relatives." Mengyao smiled bitterly, name? In this time and space, a name is just a code name.
After talking, Mengyao already got a general idea. Last night, she was brought here as usual. She only told her that she was new and took good care of her before leaving. Xiao Taozi is fourteen years old this year and is very honest. She lives next door. She is a An orphan without a father and a mother, she was abducted and sold to the palace as a rough girl for seven years. Although her life here is not very free, she has food and shelter. Xiao Taozi is already very content. Because the two have similar backgrounds, Xiao Taozi Very concerned about her.
"This is the Prince Jin's Mansion of His Highness the Third Highness." In the evening, after finishing her work, Xiao Taozi came to Mengyao's room to chat with her before going to bed. Xiao Taozi was very carefree and had a good personality.
"Your Highness!? Is he the Third Highness? Is his name Ouyang Jin?" Mengyao asked in shock.
Xiao Taozi looked out carefully and whispered nervously: "Don't say His Highness's name indiscriminately, or you will die."
The two chatted for a while, and then Xiao Taozi went back to her room to sleep. But Mengyao couldn't sleep. She didn't expect that she would meet a handsome and indifferent prince when she traveled through time. She didn't know if this was her luck or a disaster?
Xiao Taozi is usually very busy, so she comes to deliver food and medicine during meals. The food is also very delicious, but the medicine is Chinese medicine and is very difficult to drink. Every time Xiao Taozi watches it finished, she will happily go out. Today, I still have Several sets of clothes were delivered, as well as some small items, such as rouge, small hairpins, hair ties, etc.
Mengyao didn't want to deny Xiao Taozi's kindness, so she accepted it even though she didn't need it. Every night before going to bed, Aunt Yun, the cook in the small courtyard in front of her, would sometimes come and sit there. Aunt Yun was in her forties and cooked good food. .She is very kind and always calls her "Girl". Xiao Taozi also calls her Aunt Yun, and Mengyao likes her very much. Mengyao is very grateful and is very close to them.
Mengyao also thought clearly. She was just a ray of soul. She was a passer-by in this dynasty. One day she would wake up and return to modern times. Why should she put more unnecessary constraints on herself and make herself unhappy? Face it calmly, she is still the same. Just take things as they come. Wouldn't it be better to be more relaxed?
After lying in a daze for three days, she felt much better. The weather outside was nice and sunny. The smell of Chinese medicine in the cabin made Mengyao feel uncomfortable. She changed into a light yellow dress and tied her hair gently behind her head. She liked her hair very much and didn't want to hold two cum in her hair like Xiao Taozi. She opened the windows and wooden doors to let in some air, and tidied up the hut. She picked up the quilt and mattress, went to the yard, and put them on the clothes rack. , although the quilt has the advantage of being old and the fabric color is very dark, it is very clean.
The yard is filled with wood and firewood. Xiao Taozi also knows that the work here is to cut wood and carry water and do some rough work, but you can't leave the backyard. The backyard is divided into two small courtyards with a round arch. The front one is the kitchen.
, the one at the back is the woodshed where she lives. There are two kitchens in the palace, and this one is specially used for the third prince and entertaining guests. There are only three people in the backyard, namely her, Xiao Taozi and Aunt Yun, and they are usually very leisurely.
In the dormitory, Ouyang Jin was leaning on the bed and reading a book. He asked without raising his head: "What's her reaction?"
"Sir! I think this girl doesn't look like she comes from an ordinary family. She exudes the demeanor of a lady." After saying this, Ping Ping couldn't help but smile: "She said her name is Ugly Girl, and she talks very well.
It’s special, but the words make people feel very comfortable. But it’s strange to say it.”
"Strange?" Ouyang Jin looked up, there were faint bruises at the corners of his eyes.
"Since she woke up, she didn't cry or make a fuss. After asking about her situation, she settled down with peace of mind. She ate the simple meals with gusto and said they were delicious. She also cleaned the house today and even
I dried the quilt in the sun. I didn’t have any needs during this period, and it seems that I have made up my mind to stay here forever.”
A trace of doubt flashed across Ouyang Jin's eyes, and he felt a little dazed... He usually retreated quietly with understanding.
Mengyao felt bad about eating and drinking for free in the next few days. She helped Xiao Taozi and Aunt Yun do whatever she could, and learned a lot.
In the first few days, I made a lot of jokes because I was too stupid, which often made the two of them unable to talk to each other. She said that she was a young lady and could never do anything. She didn’t know how to use flint, make fire, or use these backward methods from ancient times.
There are no tools for cooking, let alone carrying water and chopping firewood.
I often suffer minor injuries, but I almost recover by the next day. I asked Xiao Taozi strangely. Xiao Taozi said with a smile: She put the ointment on me at night, and also smiled and said that I sleep very deeply at night. Think about it.
It’s no wonder, I’ve never done that many things before, and my body is too weak, so when I’m tired, I naturally sleep well.
Ouyang Jin never showed up, but I had seen him a few times, but he didn't speak. You could also see a hint of care in his eyes, and I was curious about what kind of person this third prince was.
Xiao Taozi is a careless little girl, and she can always get something out of her mouth. Xiao Taozi said: Ouyang Jin's mother, Concubine Min, is gentle and virtuous, and never competes for favor. She often accompanies the Queen Mother, which makes her very happy.
Ouyang Jin was often sick when he was a child. When he was five years old, he had a high fever. He was in a coma for three days and three nights and almost died. Thanks to the abbot of Xiangguo Temple who was in the palace at that time, the fever was subsided in time. At that time, the emperor was just entering the palace.
Lan Zhaoyi, who was very favored, hung out with her every day and ignored her for three days. Concubine Min, who was overly sad, rushed into Lan Zhaoyi's palace and killed Zhaoyi while the emperor was in court early.
