Chapter 167 Little Eunuch~Little Eunuch~~
Also as the lowest maid and **** in the palace.
Yi Xiaochuan also knows that his small actions are only temporary solutions, not the root cause. As long as she is still in the palace, she cannot change the status quo of being a slave, and her kitchen helper cannot give her more care.
If you want to change all this, you can only climb up. Only by climbing to a high position can you rescue 'Gao Lan'.
So in the following time, he kept inquiring about "Zhao Gao" in the palace, hoping to establish a good relationship with Zhao Gao before he made a fortune, and then use this treacherous minister with power in the future to arrest Gao Lan. Save the palace.
In the past, it would be impossible for him to think of such a thing with his 'sense of justice', but as something was missing in his body, his psychology also quietly changed.
Recently, I heard that the second prince Hu Hai killed several cooks because the food was not to his liking. Seeing this opportunity, Yi Xiaochuan slipped out of the palace and asked Gao Yao to learn a few simple and easy-to-make novel snacks.
Since the last reunion, Yi Xiaochuan rarely came to Gao Yao again.
He didn't go out of the palace, and Gao Yao didn't have much chance to contact him, except that he came to sit for a while on the opening day of the restaurant, and this visit was the third meeting.
The business of the restaurant is booming, and the shopkeeper Gao Da is so busy all day that he doesn’t touch the floor. Yi Xiaochuan just sat in the private room for a while, when he heard a rush of footsteps coming from the corridor. Yi Xiaochuan looked up, and the door just opened.
A slightly low-key black costume came into view. I hadn't seen him for several months. Gao Yao still had a smile on his face, but there was less of the previous flattery and apology in the wrinkles, and more confidence and sincerity.
"Xiao Chuan! You are finally willing to come to see me."
Yi Xiaochuan looked at the man in front of him with a complicated expression, before he could speak, Gao Yao hugged him, patted his back and said, "My good brother, if you don't look for me again, I think something happened to you inside .”
"How can something happen to me if I'm so good?"
Without Zhou Ji present, Yi Xiaochuan was relieved.
After all, Gao Lan has a relationship with Gao Yao, and his relationship with Gao Yao is naturally much closer than Zhou Ji.
Feeling Gao Yao's sincerity and enthusiasm, a smile finally appeared on Yi Xiaochuan's somewhat stiff face, allowing Gao Yao to hold his wrist and sit down, and said with a light smile, "Your restaurant business is good, it looks really good. Something like that."
"That's not true. The eight major cuisines of Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, Su, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Hunan Hui directly overturned the entire catering industry in Qin." Gao Yao gestured to Yi Xiaochuan with his fingers, "plus what Lao Zhou created Refined salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, and spices, I can almost restore all the flavors of these dishes."
Talking about the professional field, Gao Yao was talking about looking forward to the future, Yi Xiaochuan looked amused, and ran and complained as before, as if he had returned to the modern society and found his former self.
Gao Yao was naturally very happy to see Xiaochuan like this, so he was happy to pretend to be stupid by the side, until the man wandered around the door several times before asking Yi Xiaochuan why he came to him this time.
Yi Xiaochuan hesitated for a moment, and did not say anything about the fact that he met 'Gao Lan' in the palace. First, he had not confirmed the identity of the other party. Second, even though that person was Gao Lan, he was in the palace now. If you want to know, it will only increase your troubles in vain.
In addition to this, there is another most important reason, which is like a mountain pressing down on his heart.
Because he felt anxious about Gao's realization of his ideal step by step.
Yi Xiaochuan is actually a heartless person, no matter in the modern society or the first two years when he first came to the Qin Dynasty, he is like a duckweed, laughing and aimless.
There is no ideal, and I never think about ideals.
When I was still in the modern society, I spent my whole day clubbing and picking up girls, determined to make twenty-seven girlfriends, and then consider getting married.
In the Qin Dynasty, returning to modern times was barely considered an ideal, but the people from Beiyan Mountain have not returned for a long time. According to Daotong, they have to wait for the next Jiazi.
During this time of passive waiting, what else can he do?
Yi Xiaochuan has never considered this issue before, and he doesn't need to think about it because he is carefree.
But now it's different.
The fat eunuch's knife made Yi Xiaochuan's body mutilated, but it also replaced Susu who died for Yi Xiaochuan, making this heartless person feel pain for the first time.
Pain can make a person mature.
The heartache caused by hurting Susu, Xiaoyue, Xiang Yu, and Yushu was indirect after all, and it couldn't compare to the fat eunuch's knife that was real, heart-wrenching, and painful.
So Yi Xiaochuan changed.
Start to face up to this era, start to face up to yourself.
Even though Gao Yao did not have the ideal of 'becoming the best chef in the world', he began to think about what to do to prove himself.
Even he himself doesn't know what he wants to prove.
"Old Gao, I would like to ask you to teach me how to make a few novel side dishes, which can attract children's attention." Yi Xiaochuan asked, "I am about ten years old, and I am used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, and I am very picky."
"Since when did you become interested in cooking, Ogawa?"
Gao Yao did not ask Xiaochuan why, but after teasing him, he took him to the small kitchen and taught him how to make a few gourmet snacks.
Yi Xiaochuan returned to the palace, used these methods to get through the relationship with Hu Hai's close servant, and got himself a position in the household registration hall, so as to find 'Zhao Gao' and seek opportunities to attach himself.
However, after entering the household registration hall, Yi Xiaochuan spent five whole days searching almost the entire warehouse, but he still failed to find Zhao Gao's name.
In such a situation, either Zhao Gao has not yet entered the palace, or he is already dead.
No matter what kind, it is not what Yi Xiaochuan wants to see.
Outside the flower garden outside the palace, a court lady in a crimson palace dress is carefully tending the daisies in the garden. Yi Xiaochuan was still thinking about Zhao Gao, and for a moment he stumbled over the bucket next to the palace lady, and half of the bucket of water poured out immediately Sprinkled on the ground, Yi Xiaochuan also staggered a step, almost fell down.
"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life~~"
The court lady was used to being bullied, but now seeing the bucket being kicked over, she didn't dare to think whose fault it was, and just instinctively knelt down and begged for mercy.
Yi Xiaochuan looked at 'Gao Lan' whose clothes were covered with large water stains, and his forehead and palms were also covered with mud, and his heart suddenly tightened.
This was the first time he met 'Gao Lan'.
If he just found out that the person squatting here watering the flowers is 'Gao Lan', Yi Xiaochuan would definitely go around and go elsewhere.
It's a pity that there are no ifs in the world. Now that we meet again, even if we want to hide, we can't hide.
"Gao Lan. It's me"
The palace maid heard Yi Xiaochuan's whisper and didn't understand what he meant, but she heard from the tone that the other party didn't seem to be angry, so she raised her head slightly, glanced at the low-level **** uniform on Yi Xiaochuan, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
While she was sneaking a glance, she happened to meet Yi Xiaochuan's eyes, the maid hurriedly avoided her eyes, looked around curiously, pointed at herself tentatively, and asked in doubt, "Are you calling me? "
After looking at each other just now, Yi Xiaochuan suddenly realized something, stretched out his hand to help the maid, stared closely at her eyes, saw her slightly disturbed dodging eyes, and reconfirmed, "Gao Lan, have you lost your memory? Do you still recognize me? Where is Gao Yao? Do you remember Gao Yao?"
Both are at the bottom, although the other party looks a little weird, but it doesn't look like someone who beats and scolds him at will.
The maid took out a square towel from her bosom to wipe off the mud stains on her palms and face, and whispered, "Young eunuch, did you recognize the wrong person? My name is Xiaoyue, and I don't know Gao Lan." That Gao Yao you mentioned."
Yi Xiaochuan leaned closer, carefully sizing up the maid's face, and after cleaning the mud spots between her foreheads, a face exactly like Gao Lan's was revealed in front of Yi Xiaochuan.
"That's right, you are Gao Lan! Gao Lan has a black mole on the corner of her eyebrows, and you have one at the same place. You can't be wrong, you are Gao Lan." Yi Xiaochuan said seriously, "There have been such moles in time-traveling novels. You need to receive mental stimulation to recover, and someday I will take you to meet Gao Yao, and when I meet your brother, you will definitely remember it."
"Little Eunuch, what are you doing?" Xiaoyue said speechlessly, "What's the mess? I grew up in Chu State. I was arrested and sent to Xianyang six years ago to be a palace maid. I have been working in the weaving and embroidery workshop."
Yi Xiaochuan knew that Xiaoyue was a maid of the Weaving and Embroidery Workshop, and after she was bullied, he secretly gave her wound medicine, but he never inquired about other things, until today when she mentioned it, he realized that To the strange.
"Six years ago? State of Chu?" Yi Xiaochuan frowned, "Do you still remember what happened when you were a child? How much do you remember about what happened six years ago?"
"Look at what you said~" Xiaoyue gave Yi Xiaochuan a white look, and muttered, "Of course I remember what happened six years ago."
"No, you have to come with me."
In fact, Yi Xiaochuan believed most of it in his heart, but he still wanted to make a final confirmation, so he grabbed Xiaoyue's wrist, ignoring her repeated exclamations, and dragged her into the household registration hall very domineeringly. Take out the bamboo slips from the Weaving and Embroidery Workshop from the wooden shelf over there, and open them to look up Xiaoyue's information.
At first, Xiaoyue thought that the little **** was trying to play hooligans on her, but when she saw the other party entering the hall, she let go of her wrist and ran to the bookshelf to look through the bamboo slips. Xiao Chuan picked up the bamboo slips on the ground and placed them on the table one by one.
Yi Xiaochuan raised his head and glanced at Xiaoyue who was arranging the bamboo slips, as if he saw Gao Lan who helped him tidy up the 'kennel'. The two people's appearances were almost carved out of the same mold, but they were not the same person.
Through the information of the Weaving and Embroidery Workshop, he confirmed that the other party was indeed from Chu State, and had been in the palace for six years. Based on what she said about her childhood experience, it was enough to prove that she was not Zhou Ji, Gao Yao, or himself. class of traversers.
After finishing the bamboo slips, looking at the clean and bright hall, Xiaoyue let out a long sigh of relief, with a satisfied smile on her face, turned her head to look at Yi Xiaochuan who was still in a trance, walked forward a little embarrassed, and said, " Little eunuch, can I go?"
"Let's go?" Yi Xiaochuan came to his senses, looked at Xiaoyue who was rubbing the corner of his clothes, and then looked at the bamboo slips on the table, and then he realized that his tone was much softer, "Thank you for helping me tidy up the bamboo slips." , Shall I treat you to a meal some other day?"
Xiaoyue covered her mouth with a smile and said: "Little **** is talking nonsense again, the meals in the palace are all provided by the imperial dining room, you don't mean to invite me to eat steamed buns?"
Yi Xiaochuan stayed in the imperial dining room for a while, so he naturally knew how poor the food was for the eunuchs and maids at the bottom. starve.
There was a trace of pity in his eyes, Yi Xiaochuan shook his head, and said with a smile, "It's not corn buns, it's a big meal, a big meal that even His Majesty has never eaten."
"The little **** really knows how to joke."
Since entering the palace, Xiaoyue has never been so happy. She was amused by Yi Xiaochuan several times, and her eyes almost turned into crescent moons. "Then I will reluctantly agree~"
"It's okay to invite you to a big meal, but you have to promise me something." Yi Xiaochuan made a stop gesture and said with a wry smile, "Can you stop calling me little eunuch? My name is Yi Xiaochuan, you can call me Ogawa."
"Xiao Chuan~ I remember~~ You also have to remember the big meal you owe me."
Xiaoyue walked briskly towards the outside of the hall, and when she came to the door, she carefully lifted the corner of her skirt, as if she was afraid of being discovered, and slipped out of the household registration hall quietly, until she returned to the flower garden before secretly letting out a sigh of relief.
"You are so courageous! I said why I couldn't find you anywhere, and you came to hide in the household registration hall!" An **** in charge angrily came from the side and grabbed Xiaoyue by the collar, suddenly pushed her to the ground, pointed Her nose, swearing.
Xiaoyue hurriedly explained that she had finished her work, how could the **** in charge listen to such things, seeing Xiaoyue dare to talk back, she suddenly became vicious, raised her foot and was about to stamp on Xiaoyue.
Seeing the gnashing of teeth of the **** in charge, he hardly spared any strength in this kick.
Xiaoyue was so frightened that she turned her head and closed her eyes, her body curled up into a ball. Seeing this scene, Yi Xiaochuan hurried out of the hall and stood in front of Xiaoyue.
"My lord, Miss Xiaoyue was just helping me sort out my household registration files, she wasn't lazy, I hope you will learn from me."
"Heh~ A little **** in the household registration hall still thinks about being a hero to save the beauty?" The **** in charge kept on kicking Yi Xiaochuan's thigh, and Yi Xiaochuan regained his footing with a muffled grunt.
If it was him in the past, he would definitely attack violently and beat the other party up, but now that he is in the palace, he can only use small means behind the scenes if he wants revenge. dead.
The **** in charge snorted coldly, and looked at Yi Xiaochuan contemptuously, "Yi Xiaochuan, I know you. You are a celebrity in the imperial dining room~! I also know that you sneaked into the Household Registration Hall by hooking up with Eunuch Feng who is next to the Second Highness.
I respect Mrs. Feng, but it doesn’t mean I’m afraid of you. You have made it clear to me that Xiaoyue is from my weaving and embroidery workshop, even if I beat her to death today! It's not like you, a little **** with no rank or rank, can protect him. "
