Chapter 306
Chapter 306
The child knew that the Chinese New Year was the busiest time of the year, and every family had many things to prepare intensively, and this was probably even more so in the palace, but Lian Li didn't seem to be in a hurry to go back at all.
After living in the mansion for two days, he rented a small courtyard and moved in.
Eunuch Chen seemed to be in a bad mood when he faced him, but it didn't seem to be because he moved out.
Yundou got some news from Haitao, saying that Lianli used to be favored by a noble in the palace and lived a good life, but not long ago, that noble made a slip of the tongue and was punished by the emperor, so he had to stay in the palace to reflect on himself. He was squeezed out and even had no part in organizing the New Year's banquet, so he simply took leave and left the palace to hide.
The child was a little worried when he heard this.
But what can she do?
She could only frown and think, and Lian Li, who came to see Eunuch Chen, laughed at her and said she looked like an old lady.
He still had a smiling face and didn't look worried at all.
He might be worried inside... but it seems there's no point showing it on his face.
The child took out a handful of crispy dates from his pocket and gave them to him, then turned around and went back to work.
After a while he came back with two more oranges.
Lian Li received her longans, hawthorns, salted peanuts, chicken legs, two roast geese, some snacks and candies. When the child brought him a bright red plum blossom, he finally couldn't help but say, "Are you going to borrow money from me? Just say it directly."
Child:……
She snatched the flower back, bent it, put it on her head, turned around and left without paying any attention to him.
Lian Li rubbed his chin and muttered, "Hey, why are you leaving again? Excuse me?"
Gou Wa hesitated to speak and said, "Master, could it be that she heard something and is comforting you?"
Lian Li: "Can I?"
The child in Lian Li's eyes is still the little girl who can run from the mountain to the foot of the mountain for a little money. She is heartless and can only jump high to quarrel with him.
The child, who hadn't really left, clung to the wall and angrily said, "No! I'm feeding the dog!"
Lian Li suddenly understood and laughed: "You are concerned about me, child, you are very sensible. How about kowtow to your brother and give you some money to ward off evil spirits?"
"Not very good!"
Children would never kowtow to Lianli!
Lian Li is always so annoying.
Is it easy to beg for so much food?
The cooks all thought she was in the way, as she helped with a lot of work and only got a few leftovers.
But she also expected that Lian Li would not care about these things. Only Gou Wa was eating them. If you want to make people happy, you have to do it in the right way. However, she really has no money.
The child sighed deeply and walked away.
At noon, all the masters in the mansion went into the palace, leaving only Prince Ming's concubines and Prince Jia's maid.
These people were also going to celebrate the New Year, so the mansion was still busily preparing for the banquet, but after a while, things became less hurried.
At night, Eunuch Chen was free, so he and the eunuchs under him, Lianli, Gou Wa, she and Yundou gathered in a room.
The child was the youngest among them, but she was not interested. She just sat by the brazier, propped up her chin and listened to them talk. The sweet smell of roasted kidney beans and a few oranges went straight into her nose.
But no one ate them. They were over-roasted and the skin became black and tight, like charcoal, which was extremely ugly. She was disgusted and picked at it twice with tongs.
Kidney Bean said to her, "Would you like to try some? This kind of orange tastes better."
The child didn't believe her and flatly refused.
Kidney Bean broke one open, put it in his mouth and chewed it while saying, "Forget it, I'll eat it myself."
She ate it mouthful after mouthful, and it was so sweet that she didn't care about the juice dripping through her fingers. The child also became skeptical.
She picked up one, broke it open, and ate a piece. It was hot, sour, and bitter, and she glared at the kidney bean because it was unpalatable. But she saw that she was staring at her face with a satisfied smile on her face.
"Are you sick?" the child asked angrily.
Kidney Bean was even more satisfied, grinning: "You look like a fool, how can I give it to you if it tastes good?"
Child:……
what! ! ! !
I'm kind of annoyed with her!
When I turned my head again, I saw others were also secretly looking at me and laughing.
She asked why it suddenly became quiet.
The children felt that this New Year was somewhat boring. Even though they ate dumplings and many other things, and the outside was decorated with lights and looked very lively, it seemed as if something was missing.
Even chatting with these people wasn't very interesting. They talked in a disjointed manner, as if they didn't really want to talk, but they were trying to find something to say.
I tried hard to find something fun to do, but there was nothing. The room was brightly lit, but the people were dark, so it was really boring.
If she was in Suicheng and not on duty, she would have probably gone home. Aunt Yu and she made dumplings and pumpkins and went to the street to watch the fireworks.
If she was silly for a moment, she might even pick up some small firecrackers and blow herself up into the sky. She really thought that was possible.
But Sister An Xi said that instead of blowing herself up, she might as well sit on a catapult and let someone throw her out. It would be courting death either way, so the one that flew higher would be better.
Children don't like to hear this. Bricks, gunpowder and pots are easier to carry than catapults.
Sister An Xi doesn't understand her at all, but that's normal. Geniuses are always difficult to be understood by the world.
The child felt quite lonely and finally forgave her after thinking about it.
Yundou suddenly put his mouth close to her ear: "Don't try to hurt me!"
Child:……
"I didn't think about it!"
"Come on, I can tell from your look that you're up to something bad. You're even happy out loud."
Child:……
The child just thought of her brilliant idea.
But she thought it would be better not to say it...
"You reminded me, I'm going to start thinking of ways to harm you now!"
Yundou pretended to be confused: "Why? Aren't we best sisters?"
Are they good sisters again now?
The child was shocked and she covered her mouth and laughed.
The child discovered that Yundou might be the only person in the room who found fun, and she was that fun.
It’s not a good idea to make friends.
But it's really strange that Lian Li didn't do such a thing.
He finally grew up.
The child thought with emotion.
Firecrackers were popping outside, and someone said, "It's time to set off fireworks."
Gou Wa took advantage of the noise and went up to the child and said, "Sister, do you want to go watch the fireworks?"
Child:……
The child wanted to refuse him.
But Yundou was very familiar with the place. He took the child's hand and said to him, "Okay, okay, let's go and see it together."
As she spoke, she glanced at Eunuch Chen, the child also looked over, and Gou Wa looked at Lian Li.
They didn't care, just waved them off and told them to go, "Be careful."
Before he could finish his words, they had already run out, raising their voices and saying, "I understand..."
