The scorching sun gradually moved and set towards the west mountain, only half of the face was exposed, and the clouds on the sky were smudged red, like burning flames.
Although it is already dusk, the heat in the air has not subsided at all. The summer cicadas perched among the trees are still shouting "Cicada! Cicada!" at the top of their lungs, as if this can offset some of the heat for them.
meaning.
Er Gouzi and Dezi carried a huge food box out of the kitchen one after another. They were responsible for delivering meals to Dongling Pavilion. Zheng Chunhua and the guards in charge of Dongling Pavilion were responsible for three meals a day.
Take care of.
"Dezi, when do you think we can stop doing this kitchen work? It's so painful to stay in the kitchen in such hot weather!" Ergouzi wiped his sweat and turned around to talk to Dezi who was carrying him behind.
By the way, the kitchen is a place that is warm in winter and hot in summer. Even though they were only wearing single clothes and small jackets, the two of them were still so hot that they were covered in sweat.
Dezi placed the pole head on his shoulders and replied angrily: "Didn't you see that Uncle Cheng, who is much more senior than us, is still in the kitchen? Since I was sent here, I can leave if I want.
It’s difficult, unless you can be favored by the master of any house or courtyard and serve you by your side, otherwise, hey… you’d better drink more summer-relieving soup.”
Er Gouzi smacked the salty sweat that flowed into his mouth and complained: "We are all slaves, but why are we so different? Look at Gouzi, he is not from the same family as us, but he can become popular with the prince.
He drinks spicy food and doesn't have to do any heavy work. Compared with him, we are like heaven and earth. And Sanfu, Li Wei and others, who are not better at it than us? It is really necessary to compare goods, and it is very annoying to compare people.
.”
"This is called having the same people but different fates." Dezi shook his head and replied, "Who said you didn't know the right thing when you were reincarnated? You will be a slave when you are born, and it is the most miserable and tiring kind."
The two of them were complaining and walking. When they walked near a flower garden, they suddenly heard moaning. Looking around, they saw a woman with beautiful features and aqua-green clothes sitting in the grass, rubbing her ankles.
, I don’t know where the embroidered shoes on my feet have gone, only thin cotton socks wrapped around my slender feet.
When the woman saw the two of them coming from a distance, she looked happy and hurriedly waved and called: "Two eldest brothers! Two eldest brothers!"
After Er Gouzi and Dezi looked at each other, they walked over and said, "You are so unfamiliar. Which hospital are you a maid from? Why are you sitting on the ground?"
"I..." The woman was about to say something, but she didn't know what she thought of. She took back the words that were already on her lips and said instead: "Brothers, my name is Zi? I accidentally turned my leg when I was passing by here just now.
, I can’t stand up, could you please show your kindness and help me?”
"What's going on? That's why, it's easy to talk about!" Ergouzi agreed cheerfully, motioning Dezi to put the food box on the ground, and then together they stepped forward to help Zi? from the ground, and saw that she was naked.
Unable to land with one foot on the ground, he asked one after another: "Where are your shoes?"
Zi? glanced around blankly, "I don't know, it must have fallen near here!" At this point, she looked at Er Gouzi and the two of them pitifully, with a glint in her eyes, "
Can you two brothers be good people and help me find the embroidered shoes? The master is still waiting for me. If I go late, I will be punished by the master."
Zi? She already has a delicate appearance, but now she puts on such a pitiful look. Er Gouzi, two guys who have never tasted the taste of a woman, even their bones are numb. How could they refuse? They immediately patted their chests.
Said: "Don't worry, Miss Zi?, let alone around here, even if your embroidered shoes fall into the Jianjia Pond, our brothers will definitely help you fish them out."
These words made Zi? smile, which was especially moving under the setting sun. Ergouzi and the two were stunned for a moment, and almost drooled. The master of the house was beautiful, but far away in the horizon, it was not like them.
The servants can get their hands on it, and usually they don't even dare to take a second look. But this Zi? is different, who is much prettier than ordinary maids. If you can win her favor, maybe you can accomplish a good thing!
Thinking of this, Ergouzi and Dezi were full of energy, pulling at the trunks of grass and trees to look for embroidered shoes. In the future, Manager Hong had repeatedly warned them to leave the food boxes they liked casually by the trail, and they didn't even notice that the script was injured.
It was time for Zi?, who was in trouble, to approach the food box quietly as if nothing was wrong. After opening the lid, he sprinkled a packet of medicinal powder into the soup, and then covered it again, exactly as it was.
Ergouzi and Dezi competed secretly, both hoping to find the embroidered shoes before the other so that they could show off in front of Zi?, completely unaware that they had fallen into a carefully laid trap.
"Ah! I found it!" Dezi, who was searching hard, finally found Zi?'s left embroidered shoes behind a big tree. In Er Gouzi's envious eyes, he held them up to Zi? in front of him like a treasure, looking at Zi?
The flower-like face swallowed and tried, "I...can I help you put it on?"
Zi?'s pretty face was slightly red, but she still nodded and let Dezi put on the embroidered shoes for her. When she held Zi?'s petite bare feet tremblingly, even though there was a layer of socks between them, Dezi was still excited.
It's like being in a dream, not knowing what year it is today.
Not to be outdone, Ergouzi stepped forward and said with concern: "Miss Zi?, your foot is injured, do you want me to take you back?" As the saying goes, whoever comes first gets the moon, as long as he knows which maid Zi? is from, he can find her.
Opportunity is close.
How could Dezi not know his plan, and rush up to him and say that he wanted to give Zi? When he went back, he didn't know Zi? But his face was strange, he hesitated for a while, bit his lips as plump as roses, and said: "I don't dare to trouble the two eldest brothers anymore.
, I can just go back by myself."
With that said, Zi? was about to leave, but before he could walk a few steps, his body tilted and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he saw the opportunity and held on to the tree next to him to avoid falling.
However, her reaching out made Ergouzi and the others look straight in their eyes, not because of anything else, but because it was only at this moment that they discovered that Zi? actually wore a ring made entirely of jade on the index finger of her left hand.
It is green and flawless, exuding a warm luster under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Zi? noticed their strange behavior and seemed a little panicked. He quickly retracted his hand and pulled up his sleeve, hiding the finger with the ring in the sleeve. He then turned back to Ergouzi and the others with a forced smile and said: "Don't worry, I really
It's okay, you can go back by yourself, the two eldest brothers should hurry up and get busy."
It wasn't until Zi? limped away that no one was seen, that Ergouzi came back to his senses, smacking his lips with a little pity, and then made up his mind to try to find out which hospital Zi? was a girl from, and who was on the other side?
Dezi also had the same thoughts and never forgot Zi?'s beauty.
