Chapter 16 Can You Help Me?
"Xiao Linzi, I'm so swollen, can you help me?"
"Madam, you finally found the right person, you can't squeeze like that, it's like this..."
"Master Lin, Master Lin!"
Lin Xing was dreaming at the critical moment, and suddenly felt someone pushing him, and the dream came to an abrupt end.
Damn it!
Lin Xing opened his eyes with an unhappy look, and saw that it was Xiao Niuzi.
"Master Lin, I knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response, so I came in to call you."
Master Lin?
Father-in-law was replaced by Master Lin, and it seemed that Xiao Niuzi was determined to be his younger brother.
Lin Xing could also accept this honorific with pleasure, after all, this is a world of hierarchy.
"What's wrong, Xiao Niuzi, did I sleep too long?"
"Yes, Master Lin, you should go to deliver the meal in half an hour."
"The main thing is that I heard from them that sometimes Eunuch Wu will come back early when he is unlucky. Last time, a eunuch accidentally knocked over a bucket while working, and Eunuch Wu had him slapped twenty times..."
I understand.
Xiao Niuzi is afraid that Eunuch Wu will come back suddenly and Lin Xing will still be sleeping, which will be a trap.
This little brother is really good, reliable and conscientious!
Although Lin Xing has traveled through time for more than half a month, he is still not used to the days without a mobile phone. Forget about not having black silk before going to bed, and he can't control the time at all.
However, he knew that there was still half an hour to deliver the meal, and it should be around four o'clock in the afternoon now.
Good guy!
I was really tired last night. Before going to bed, I thought about my target lady for a while and fell asleep. I worked for four hours.
Moreover, I kept dreaming!
What's annoying is that I was woken up just when I was about to start.
Xiao Niuzi, be more careful!
The meal time in Dayu Palace is the same, two meals a day, one between nine and ten in the morning, no formal meal at noon, but the emperor's concubines and high-ranking eunuchs and palace maids usually eat some desserts and snacks.
Then, around five in the afternoon, dinner is a formal meal.
Lin Xing protested against two meals a day, even if they were simple and plain, because his body really couldn't bear it.
"Master Lin, I'll prepare some clean water for you. You'll get up and wash your face in a while, and I'll go out to work first."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
Lin Xing nodded with satisfaction.
"By the way, Xiao Niuzi, I will manage this time myself in the future, and don't give me any water to wash my face, understand?"
Hearing this, Xiao Niuzi hesitated a little, but nodded quickly.
"Yes, Master Lin, I understand, but if you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Lin Xing waved his hand. He knew it very well. It wasn't that Xiao Niuzi was careless and innocent. He must have thought that these things would never reach the ears of Eunuch Wu. Who wouldn't be afraid of Xiao Maozi's trickery?
Better safe than sorry!
Lin Xing didn't hesitate. He quickly got up, washed his face, and came out.
Two eunuchs in the yard were pounding rice. In the morning, they cleaned the toilets. They were pulled here one by one. Obviously, they didn't just clean the toilets in Yongxiang.
In comparison, Lin Xing's job was indeed happy enough. It was just delivering meals.
However, it was suspected that Xiao Maozi didn't tell him that Xiao Niuzi's two eunuchs didn't just cook. After finishing their work, they had to come over to clean the toilets.
To put it bluntly, the eunuchs here are the lowest-level menial eunuchs, who are used like animals. As long as they are not dead, they can do all kinds of dirty and tiring work.
Lin Xing was about to go to the kitchen to take a look, and found two eunuchs carrying hoes came in.
He stopped, and he hadn't seen these two people for most of the day. They should have just returned and went out early and came back late.
Farming?
The two eunuchs came in, put the hoe in the corner of the door, scooped a bucket of water from the bucket, and then went straight over and squatted down to help the two eunuchs pound rice.
Lin Xing walked over out of curiosity. He wanted to know what the two eunuchs were doing. Is it necessary to farm in the palace?
When he came up, the four people continued to work with their heads down as if they didn't see him.
The first two eunuchs could understand, but the two eunuchs who just came in saw him just now, and they had never seen him before, but they didn't even ask if he was new.
However, after thinking about it, Lin Xing probably understood that the two men must have seen him standing there without working, which was different from them, so he subconsciously did not dare to say anything more.
"Old brothers, busy!"
"Oh, Xiao Linzi, come over."
The three eunuchs remained silent, and one of the older eunuchs, who should be an old man, raised his head and greeted Lin Xing.
After that, he said to the two eunuchs who had just come in: "Little Donkey, Xiao Chunzi, you don’t know yet, this brother Xiao Linzi is new today."
Hearing this, the two eunuchs raised their heads and immediately relaxed a lot.
Lin Xing lowered his head very low-key, "Hello, two brothers!"
"Xiao Linzi, right?"
"Yes, brother."
Lin Xing smiled slightly, thinking that the guy in front of him was not right. He frowned when he saw the older eunuch.
This old eunuch must have stayed in the palace for a long time. The little Russians called him Lao Jia, which was quite respectful. Other eunuchs called him Eunuch Jia.
While talking, the eunuch who just spoke didn't know whether he was a little donkey or a little spring child. He straightened his back and patted his shoulder and back.
"Today is really tiring. My waist and back hurt. Xiao Linzi, please give me a few hard blows."
Sure enough!
This guy thought that Lin Xing was just a new eunuch, and that Eunuch Jia was very polite to everyone, so he immediately became so awesome that he wanted to bully the newcomer.
Lin Xing smiled slightly, but before he could speak, Eunuch Jia shouted directly: "Little donkey!"
The little donkey heard the voice and walked over. When he saw Eunuch Jia glaring at him, he frowned and put his hand down.
Lin Xing also pretended to walk towards him at this time, and said: "It's not hard, since I am tired, I will give you a squeeze to relax."
After saying this, Little Donkey waved his hand directly, and then smiled naively: "Brother Lin, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding."
"Brother, you're new here. It's the older brothers who should take care of you. If you need any help, just ask. My little donkey will never say anything."
Good guy!
Lin Xing smiled knowingly, his face changed so fast, damn faster than flipping through a book.
However, it should be said or not, this little donkey is quite shrewd, and he understands the meaning with just one look.
"Then I, Xiao Linzi, am here, so thank you all brothers."
Lin Xing didn't say much, just giving this little donkey a step down.
One more friend means more paths, so why bother making enemies for yourself? As long as it doesn't go too far, I'll just be the sixth child in a low-key manner.
"you are welcome!"
The little donkey said again with a smile on his face.
Then, Lin Xing squatted down next to him, "By the way, brother, I haven't seen you and this brother for a long time. What were you two doing with the hoes on your shoulders?"
"Oh, Xiaochunzi and I went to the vegetable garden to weed and fertilize."
The little donkey nodded.
Hearing this, Lin Xing frowned and continued to ask: "This vegetable garden must be very big. You two have been working on it for a whole day."
The little donkey shook his head, "The vegetable garden isn't that big, but most of the things grown in it are cucumbers..."
Ahem!
At this time, Eunuch Jia suddenly coughed twice, so he interrupted the little donkey. The latter also coughed, then stood up and said, "My throat feels uncomfortable. I'm going to drink some water."
Lin Xing glanced at Eunuch Jia and knew in his heart that he was hinting that the little donkey was talking too much.
Then, he nodded and said casually: "Yes, if the cucumbers grow thickly, it will be really hard to get them!"
Good guy!
Is this vegetable garden serious?
