Salt-free enchanting

Chapter 2 Living in the West Courtyard
Ah Fu, who came here, was about 24 or [-] years old, with a thin body, a yellow complexion, and a pair of eyes protruding slightly.

Ah Fu bowed his body and waited for the fifth young master to walk away before turning his head to look at Sun Le.

Seeing this, he also looked astonished. After looking at her for a while, Ah Fu said, "Come with me."

Sun Le lowered his head, hurriedly walked a few steps, and followed Ah Fu.Ah Fu said without looking back as he walked: "You wait in the west courtyard first, and I will arrange for you after asking about the situation of **'s family."

Sun Le gave a soft "hmm", and stood still outside the gate of the west courtyard designated by Ah Fu.Ah Fu glanced at her again, then turned and walked along the gravel road on the right.

It wasn't until Ah Fu's figure disappeared in front of Sun Le's eyes that she slowly turned her head and looked around.

The place where she was standing was outside a stone arch, which was quite large enough for a bullock cart to enter and exit.There are banyan trees on the left and right sides of the body, and the banyan trees big enough for one person to hug are like pavilions, blocking the sunlight tightly.

Under the banyan tree, except for a gravel road leading to the arch, the rest of the place has been repaired without any grass.

Standing in such a strange place, waiting for a strange future, Sun Le's heart was really up and down, with unspeakable panic.

She was born as an orphan and grew up in the countryside. She started to complete the nine-year compulsory education at the age of six with the support of the government.When she graduated from junior high school, her grades were good, and she was admitted to No. 10 middle school in the county with the grade of No. [-] in the school.But at this time, no one is supporting her anymore, and she is unwilling to beg those distant relatives who have been separated for two or three generations.So he gave up his studies and came to the county town to work in a restaurant.

She didn't have any hobbies, and almost all the little money she earned was spent on reading miscellaneous books and taking self-examinations.Less than a year had passed by like this, and she became such a little girl when she woke up.

Sun Le looked at the tip of his toes, grinding vigorously on the stone, and his mind was in a mess.

At this moment, a burst of laughter came.The laughter was getting closer and closer, and Sun Le couldn't help but look up at the person coming.

Five or six girls came, and three of them were the ones weaving hemp just now.These girls were laughing and laughing, but when they met Sun Le's eyes, the laughter slowly stopped.

The girl who walked in the front had a pretty face, and she had a pair of bright and big eyes.

The girl stared wide-eyed, looking at Sun Le in disbelief, seeing her from head to toe, and from foot to head, the girl said in surprise: "Who is this ugly girl? A morning glory?"

The girl's voice was a little shrill, and her tone was full of astonishment.

Walking closely behind the girl was a girl who had seen Sun Le when weaving hemp just now.She quickly replied: "Sister Qiji, she is the eighteenth concubine Xinna of the fifth son."

"what?"

Shouts of astonishment and astonishment came one after another, and all the girls stared wide-eyed, speechless for a long time.

"impossible!"

"That's right, it's impossible! Fifth Young Master wouldn't take a liking to such an ugly and small girl!"

Amidst the chatter, another girl who had also met Sun Le said, "It's true, Fifth Young Master said it himself."

As soon as this sentence came out, all the girls fell silent.

Such pairs of eyes fixed on Sun Le, Sun Le raised his head lowered to his chest, and stared stubbornly at the girls.

"Why? Why does the Fifth Young Master take a fancy to her? Among us sisters, which one of us is not selected as a beauty from a thousand miles to be given to the Fifth Young Master? Why is the one chosen by the Fifth Young Master himself so ugly?"

The voice of resentment came from Qiji, she stared at Sun Le fiercely, the expression on her face was extremely complicated, she couldn't tell whether she was too disappointed or wanted to understand something.

Sun Le had already lowered her head at this moment, she didn't know anything about her situation, and she no longer had the mood to stare at the girls,
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.Sun Le looked up and saw that Ah Fu was walking towards several people.

Ah Fu glanced at the girls and ignored them. Instead, he turned to Sun Le and said, "I asked Deputy Housekeeper Chen specifically. From now on, you will stay in the fifth room of the West Court, and your name is Shiba Ji." , let's go."

Sun Le responded lightly, and followed Ah Fu into the arched door of the west courtyard and walked inside.She thought: It turns out that I have to rename this place when I arrive here.

Sun Le didn't know this, but in this world, the lowly untouchables had no names.A person with a name is a person with a little status, and a surname is a characteristic of nobility.Her own body, in the original village, everyone called her a girl, an ugly girl.

Stepping into the west courtyard, more than 20 wooden houses appeared in front of Sun Le. Each of these wooden houses was independent, with tall banyan trees planted between the buildings and connected by gravel roads.

The structure of the wooden house is very simple, and the blue bark of many outer walls has not been peeled off, with tiny branches or vines growing on it.

Ah Fu glanced back and saw that Sun Le was looking around intently, he flattened his mouth a little contemptuously, and muttered secretly: "I really haven't seen the world, and I don't know about Fifth Young Master..." His The voice was very small, and he didn't continue.

Sun Le heard Ah Fu's muttering, and quickly looked away.

Ah Fu took her all the way to the end of the west courtyard, where there is a small wooden house, especially compared with other wooden houses, it looks small and inconspicuous, it is surrounded by weeds and tall banyan trees, the place is very remote .The wooden house was also very old, and even the screened windows were covered with vines.Ah Fu led her all the way to the wooden house, then stopped and said, "Shibashu, this is where you live temporarily." He bit the word "temporarily" heavily, and continued: "This West Courtyard There are five sons and eighteen maids and concubines living in the house. You are the youngest. You can do more things in the future. There is no harm in giving more. I have already brought you here, so you can go in. If you have any questions, just ask. Your sisters."

Having said that, Ah Fu turned his head and strode away hastily.

Looking at the back of Ah Fu leaving, Sun Le's stomach growled loudly.She stretched out her hand to caress her little belly, and thought to herself: I just left like this, I don't even know where to eat.

Sun Le turned around and reached out to push the door of the wooden house. "Squeak creak..." Amidst the ear-piercing sound of rubbing, the wooden door was pushed open, and at the same time, a burst of dust hit her head and covered her face.

Sun Le quickly stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, but the dust kept choking into her mouth and nose, making her cough again and again.

After waiting for a while, the dust in front of my eyes slowly faded away.

Sun Le rubbed his eyes, and walked slowly into the wooden house covered with a thick layer of dust.
