Brother Li came out not long after he went in, and his face didn't look good.
He said regretfully: "Ruyi, don't wait any longer. He probably won't be able to come out."
"Can't get out? What can I say? His term of service has expired and he should be able to return to his hometown!" Ruyi said anxiously.
"It's just this good luck. The military masters who entered the city today are here to mobilize troops. It is said that barbarians are invading the border. They have suffered several defeats in succession and are short of manpower, so the Ministry of War began to mobilize troops from various provinces.
"
Ruyi added: "But Qin Xiao is at the military supply office, and he is not a regular soldier..."
"I just asked, everyone over fifteen will be enlisted in the army. Maybe they will have to march and fight. How old is your friend?" Brother Li asked.
"Ten...sixteen..." Ruyi wriggled her lips, her heart filled with despair.
If it weren't for the delay caused by something in the kitchen, Qin Xiao would be free at this time.
Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation, how could it be such a coincidence.
Military orders are like mountains and cannot be disobeyed. She has retired from the army and it is inconvenient to go back...
Now I don't even have anywhere to go.
When he was at a loss what to do, Brother Li said: "I heard the day before yesterday that the Chu family in the city was looking for a maid. You are just the right age, so why not give it a try. Don't rush out of the city now, just stay in Jimo and wait for the news. Maybe things will work out.
Change. Let’s make do with one night at my house tonight, and I’ll ask your sister-in-law to clean up a room for you.”
Ruyi nodded, that's all it can do now.
She glanced at the munitions office and thought to herself, Qin Xiao must not be chosen to go on an expedition with the army, otherwise they would be separated from each other from now on, and there would be no way to contact him.
…
Ruyi struggled with nightmares all night. She saw Qin Xiao lingering under artillery fire, surrounded by scorched land, dead soldiers and endless enemies.
She woke up early in the morning. After waking up, she fetched water from the well to wash herself.
The reflection in the well showed a peach-faced little girl, with black hair sloping like a waterfall. She no longer looked like a tomboy in military uniform.
Ruyi sighed softly, after all, this appearance was still too unaccustomed to her.
If she had to have a choice, she would rather do menial work and continue living as a boy beside Qin Xiao.
Brother Li also got up very early, and when he went on duty, he sent Ruyi to the gate of Chu Mansion.
What surprised Ruyi was that even though it was still very early, there was already a long queue at the door of Chu Mansion.
What's so good about being a maid, why is it that everyone is vying to be one?
This long line of people are all women, and not all of them are her age. There are also people in their thirties and forties who have given birth to several babies, and there are also whole families who came together to run for the election. These people are all
With the mentality of fishing in troubled waters, if one person is selected, the life of that family will be improved.
Ruyi doesn’t understand, isn’t it necessary to serve others when being a maid? Is serving others that good?
Ruyi didn't know that this Chu Mansion was the residence of the richest Chu Yuanwai in Jimo City. Although Chu Yuanwai was called a Yuanwai, he actually had no official position, but he was so rich that even the prefect had to give him face.
.You must know that the prefect of Jimo is a senior official from the fourth rank.
The swindling Taoist priests in those days used notations to sell Ruyi to the Chu family as a maid.
Ruyi didn't sleep well at night. Unlike those who went out with the whole family, there was no one around who could talk. She felt quite bored and couldn't help but yawn.
A middle-aged woman standing behind her said to her, "Little girl, if you enter the Chu Mansion like this, you will be scolded to death." Brother Li came out not long after he entered, and his face was not good-looking.
He said regretfully: "Ruyi, don't wait any longer. He probably won't be able to come out."
"Can't get out? What can I say? His term of service has expired and he should be able to return to his hometown!" Ruyi said anxiously.
