Chapter 314
Is she really here to apologize?
The child was very suspicious. Why was she the one who had to apologize, but he was the one who lost all his strength and means?
He weakly responded, "Coming..."
The child picked up two plates of meat, but it felt like he was carrying two heavy mountains. His back was bent and he walked towards the kitchen half-dead.
Aunt Yu forced her to stand up straight: "Walk properly, child..."
And shook his head.
How happy it is to know nothing. The child wants to be like this, but she can't because she doesn't have amnesia.
Fortunately, the enemy's lair was not here. Amidst praises, Chu Yiyi, who had rushed to wash the dishes, finally left.
The child almost couldn't wait to close the door. When she turned around, Aunt Yu was looking at her. The child's body, which had felt light, became heavy again, waiting to be nagged by her.
Aunt Yu frowned and said, "Young lady, you need to stay away from this person."
Child: Huh? Am I hard of hearing?
"I'm not saying anything bad about her, I just think this kid is a little weird. She didn't come all the way here to see you."
When Aunt Yu worked in that wealthy family, she had also met the girl's friends. No matter how polite they were, they would not talk to the master and the mistress all the time. Most of the time, they would become impatient after a few words and just want to go out and play. Even if they didn't say it directly, they would make eyes and ask for help from their companions.
Unless you're not here for fun.
So what is she here for?
Aunt Yu was very sure that there was nothing profitable to be gained from her, and the girl didn't seem to have any either, and she didn't talk to the girl, so the child's purpose became very suspicious.
And she was being too polite. They weren't very familiar with each other, and their relationship wasn't very good. She was busy running around the first time she came, making her daughter look like a fool. But she herself didn't seem to be very good at doing such pleasing things, and it was very unnatural. No matter how Aunt Yu looked at it, she felt... She didn't seem to like her daughter very much, but she had to come here and do these things...
Anyway, it's weird, so it's best to stay away from her.
The child was almost in tears: "You actually saw that!"
Amitabha, God has eyes!
The child didn't understand: "Auntie Yu, you can see that she is not a good person, why are you still so polite to her?"
"It's obvious. Guests are welcome. They come here politely with gifts in their hands, so we have to entertain them. And judging from your expression, this child is not someone you want to mess with, otherwise you would definitely jump up and chase her away." Aunt Yu was also idle and had money but nowhere to spend it. She simply wanted to understand the child.
But she still complained a lot, thinking it was not good for the child to show his emotions so clearly.
"When doing things, leave some room for improvement so that you can meet again in the future. Don't easily say or do something that is absolutely certain. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, it will be difficult to change your mind."
Aunt Yu herself might not be able to do it when she was angry, but it was still very clear when she said it.
And I especially hope that children will remember this: "It's useless to dislike someone outwardly, and it won't sound good if it gets out, especially when they're smiling and not taking it seriously. If you do that, it will seem like you have no manners. You won't meet them again anyway, so why offend them?"
"Okay, next time someone annoying comes to my house, I'll be more polite."
The child agreed reluctantly, muttering to himself: It’s better not to have one!
Chu Yiyi's arrival was just a small accident. Apart from making the child unhappy, it didn't delay anything.
The next day, the child went to Zhang's house to help move things.
Zhang Fengci volunteered to guard the royal tomb, and of course he couldn't just say it verbally, but he really had to live there, as the place was ready.
There is no need to worry about being lonely, as there are a lot of people following you. As for whether these people are willing or not, it is hard to say.
However, the child guessed that even if they didn't want to go, at least most of the people were willing to stay. After all, the princess gave these people the choice to leave, but they didn't leave.
After loading the last box of books onto the cart, the child asked Eunuch Zhang, "Is guarding the royal mausoleum a good job?"
"You can't leave unless you die." Eunuch Zhang only gave her this sentence.
This does not include managers like him, nor the eunuchs and guards who stayed behind. Someone has to do the shopping.
This mainly refers to the maids and servants.
When the prince was alive, they could only revolve around him. Now that the prince is dead, they can only guard his grave for the rest of their lives.
This was considered pretty good. They only cleaned the graves, burned incense, chanted scriptures and prayed for blessings, but the previous dynasty really wanted people to die for their master and continue to serve.
It is not like that in this dynasty. After the death of royal family members, whether they have souls or how to deal with them is not known to ordinary people. Even if the child is in the mansion, they will not know. Eunuch Zhang is very taboo about this and refuses to tell her.
Anyway... at least no human life is lost.
The child looked at those people and felt a little sorry for them. Eunuch Zhang said, "Don't look at them. There's nothing wrong with them. People have to do things in life. There's nothing wrong with guarding the royal tomb. There's no worries, no fatigue, and you get paid monthly. It's no different from following people around for the rest of your life."
How could there be no difference?
"They can't come out anymore, so what's the point of asking for money?"
"Let their family members pay for them. Isn't it the same outside? When they go to jail, the family gets more. When they are 60 years old and can no longer work, they can go home. By then, their children and nephews will support them."
“What if my nephew is unreliable?”
"God knows, this kind of thing depends on luck."
Kids hate relying on luck the most!
If these people have the same luck as her, then they are doomed. They have worked hard all their lives only to make wedding dresses for others. When they are exposed, they will be so angry that they will die.
"What about you? Can you come out at the age of sixty?"
"..."
"Oh, let's talk about it later."
Eunuch Zhang is not young anymore, and he feels that he needs to make plans early. However, when he thinks about the days of doing nothing, he can't help but feel some inexplicable fear, as if he has suddenly become a completely useless person.
He had spent his entire life serving others and didn't know how to do anything else. Perhaps he should start hiring someone to build a temple next to that cruel woman who died young, but he didn't like chanting sutras...
It’s really upsetting to think about it.
Seeing that he was a little worried, the child thought he understood and said kindly, "Nephews and nieces are not necessarily unreliable. You can find some reliable ones while you are still young. But you are so rich and have Mu Tou and Uncle Li. There is no need to let people you don't know support you. If you give all your money to others and they don't keep their promises, you can also come to my house. Aunt Yu's new house has two rooms. I can give you one room and Aunt Yu and I can live together."
The child is very sincere and generous.
But Eunuch Zhang couldn't bear to hear this. He felt miserable just thinking about it, and drove her away in anger.
The child stood in the street in dismay, watching the convoy go away. He muttered in a forced attempt to save face, "I didn't say I wanted to go to the royal mausoleum. What's so fun about a dead man's grave? If you don't want to take me, then don't take me."
