C3 Servant
In the percolation mountain, the "master at the top" needed a servant, so some of the servants would be chosen by the master to live in the upper half of the mountain to serve the master. They would become higher-ranked servants, which was an unparalleled honor for lower class servants. Thus, everyone around me, such as Xiaoqing and Little Ye, started to study the rules diligently in order to get to the "higher levels". This of course included me, because in ancient times I was homeless and only after reaching the top could I live a good life, while in modern times I was trying to find out what was going on in the mountains and find a room where I could cross over and return to the modern era as soon as possible. Therefore, I, who have personality, have to follow the crowd and work hard.
Little Leaf was one of the little girls that Xiaoqing and I shared a room with. One day she suffered from a cold. She could not get up because she was bedridden, so she was absent after learning the rules. But not only did Lord Luo, who taught us the rules, not only did he not pursue it, he even sent someone to deliver the medicine. According to the rules of Liushan, if one was absent once due to illness, they would not have the chance to pass the Zhongshan Monolith. However, Leaves had not been removed from the "study class". This has always been something that puzzled me, but I didn't expect...
"Ling'er, think about it. If it wasn't for your relationship, Ye Wen would have been chased down the mountain a long time ago. How could he still be studying?" Xiaoqing said to me.
I frowned. "Don't make wild guesses! Did you forget what happened last time? Ye Wen went to his master, Sir Xie Luo, but Lord Luo was gone. Jean was both grateful to him and vexed by the fact that he had closed the door. "If you had a relationship, you would have let me in a long time ago, right?"
"That's why I said it was a private affair!" Xiaoqing mysteriously said, "If they had welcomed us into the room at that time, wouldn't it have been made public? Did you forget the joke I made? "
Indeed, that day, Xiaoqing jokingly said to Ye Wen, "Don't worry, if you study properly and get selected by the higher ups to serve the adults, won't you be able to repay the gratitude? It would be best if we could arrange for you to stay in Lord Luo's mansion, so that you can repay my gratitude every day, hahaha! "
Even though it was just a joke, she reminded us a little. In order to repay Lord Luo's gratitude, she actually tried to learn the rules. We really didn't expect her to be like this. Was this really caused by an affair?
During my absence, I met Master Luo when I was learning the rules. He was the biological son of the late emperor's Minister of Rites, and he had strict tutelage. Therefore, Lord Luo did not lack etiquette and discipline towards his servants, and was very strict with his teaching rules. There should be a lot of girls around him, so he couldn't possibly have a personal relationship with a girl like Ye Wen, who hadn't even passed the Zhongshan Monument yet.
"Let me tell you," Xiaoqing gossiped to me, "Actually, Lord Luo can't be considered the handsomest person in the Liushan, and there's even more handsome and influential lords than Lord Luo. If we could get …" As Xiaoqing spoke, she shut her mouth. It turned out that Little Leaf had suddenly pushed open the door and entered. As if nothing had happened, I picked up the book and began to "review before the exam."
Although gossips were all gossip, they still had to live their days. This kind of gossip only adds some seasoning to the little girl's ordinary life.
Having lived at the foot of the mountain for three months, he had learnt the general rules of the mountain. The Old Mountain Lord was a benevolent person. He didn't have many requirements for the servants, as long as they were able to recognize the quality of the clothing and pay their respects according to the rules. The servants don't have to call themselves servants, but we have to show respect to the adults. Perhaps it's because of the Mountain Lord's indulgence, the adults teaching us manners are also very polite, and not as perverted as Senior Servant Rong, who is shown on TV. We have to continue oppress the next generation of servants just because we are oppressed too much, just like we've been married for years.
But I don't think there's anything wrong with living in the lower half of the mountain as a slave. In my heart, it has long been a modern concept. There is no difference between a person of high status and a person of low status. Going to serve the Leader might not be a good job. The people I live on right now are mostly commoners, plus I have the lowest class of servants, so everyone's status is not high. There's no need to look at the faces of others, I'm free to go.
Halfway down the mountain, there was also the Weapons Crafting Room, tailor shop, and a small medicine store. In short, it was like a small village with all the necessities. There were also farmers plowing, raising chickens and feeding pigs on the hillsides to ensure the rations of the people and the adults on the hillsides. In short, it was a happy and peaceful place. Living here reminds me of Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Origin" depicting people living in "paradise," peaceful and comfortable, but forget the dynasties of the outside world.
I came here from modern times, after three months, I have adapted to the ancient life. The only thing he couldn't be sure of was his own age. Logically speaking, I am already 26 years old in modern times. However, I haven't even come here on a day off. I seem to be a girl, but my height is not much different from modern times. My chest is not as full as modern times'. In the bronze mirror, her face was still her own, but it was so tender that she looked like a thirteen-fourteen year old girl.
My name in ancient times was quite poetic — Feng Ling. The surname "Feng" is rare, and all I know is that there is a person named "Feng Qingyang" in Jin Yong's proud smile. This word is the same as my name in the modern world, so when people call me "Lingling", I'll just call her Fan Ling, thus giving a straightforward answer. But in my heart, there is still a little Jiu Jiu. I think that I must find the 'staff' responsible for recruiting this year's girls. After looking through my information, I can gain a deeper understanding of myself.
"Feng Ling, Ye Chen, Fang Xiaoqing …" When our names were finished, I, Little, Little Green, and twelve other girls were lucky enough to pass the tests of etiquette, red, literacy, and cooking and were chosen to go up into the upper half of the mountain.
"Rumor has it that we want to be assigned to the strongholds of the 12 lords!" That Little Qing of excellent character and knowledge said.
"What if we don't have a girl we can pick?" a girl in the next room asked.
"Those that fail are those that fail, they can only stay at the foot of the mountain and wait for others to pick or serve the people at the foot of the mountain." The other girl looked at those who failed in the selection disdainfully and said proudly.
The Senior Servant, who was in charge of reporting the names, said, "The bosses below need to check, count, verify, and count the clothes, vegetables, grains, and medicinal herbs when they are sent up the mountain. Letters were transcribed and escorted by the girl who knew how to read and write. Every time an adult went down the mountain to do business, those who were unable to return up the mountain would rest at the inn. As a result, the inn needed cleaning and cleaning by the girls as well as serving the adults who were temporarily staying. Thus, do not discriminate against girls who have not been chosen, as they can also see adults. "
When the complacent maidservants heard the mama's words, they could only glare at her and stop speaking.
It suddenly occurred to me that I was lucky to be on the mountain. The girl in the bottom half was too busy and too busy. After all, their statuses were different. It was much easier to rely on one's abilities to eat than one's physical strength to eat.
