The target of the assassination is the fox

The sky is getting brighter, the breeze is blowing, and the sun is shining brightly.The coldness accumulated in the early morning was gradually dissipated.

I put down my hoe and looked at the far field. The dense forests are all dark green with orange color, and there are gorgeous flowers underneath.This reminds me of my old house in the mountains, and several deserted sycamore houses in Aotianmen.It's been a long time since I went back to see it, and I don't know if Granny Chai went to clean it on time, and whether she watered the master's flowers enough.

Alas, now that I have entered the interior of the villa, I won't be able to get out of it so quickly.But there is no need to hide and hide anymore, and it is really convenient to use the status of a slave to walk openly and investigate in the village.Of course, it would be better if you don't have to do so much work...

"Seventeen, be quicker with your hands and feet, loosen the soil for this land, and you have to follow us to the camellia field to learn weeding!" Hua Nu boss shouted in a rough voice.He is a widower, in his 40s, honest and upright, and is respected by everyone in the pharmacy.

"Oh, good, it's almost finished." I answered and picked up the hoe and continued to dig the ground.Being a flower slave here is more exhausting than serving the princess. She works in the fields in the middle of the night and has not had a rest until now.Presumably that Yin Shanlan must have deliberately made things difficult for revenge, and secretly confessed that they would make me suffer more.

Hiss... my waist, my thin skin and tender meat... Is it too old this year? Why do I always have to serve people as a slave recently?

I'm really fed up with these spoiled young ladies who are like needles in the sea.

I speeded up and loosened all the soil in the field. I stopped to wipe my sweat and was dragged away by them again.Go around the fence and go to the camellia field.

There are a total of 36 medicine gardens in Yinshan Medicine Manor, where different things are planted in different categories, and each garden has more than 30 coolie servants and an owner in charge of affairs.The Red Brocade Garden I was assigned to is a place dedicated to planting flowers. It occupies a vast mountain area to itself, several times larger than the Maple Leaf Temple, and relatively speaking, it is also the most beautiful place in the medicine farm.The fields are colorful and fragrant, and the smell is intoxicating.

According to the traditional rules, the servants in the garden are named after their rows, and Seventeen is my current name.The original Seventeen... I heard that he died suddenly from overwork.

Ah, I really want to leave this exploitative place as soon as possible.

But where is this fire danshen planted?I chatted with other people during my work breaks, and asked a few times pretending to be curious. As a result, they were all tight-lipped and refused to reveal anything, and I didn’t want to ask too many times, so as not to arouse suspicion.Since this fire danshen is the treasure of the town, it must be planted in an extremely secretive and strictly guarded place.It's a pity that I'm still not familiar with Zhuangzi, so I have to continue to observe and wait for the right time.

So I pulled out weeds in the flower field for half a day, and it was close to noon before I had to rest.Go to the gazebo on the slope, sit down and have a cup of tea.What is gratifying is that the tea that the servants drink here is actually the best Dahongpao.The boss on the side proudly said that only Hongjinyuan had such treatment.

Sipping carefully, watching the hillsides and fields in the distance covered with golden sunshine, birds singing in my ears, and the fragrance of flowers in my nose, it is a rare pleasure.After resting for a while, someone suddenly reported that the orchard master was coming to inspect.The boss hurriedly pulled me down to stand by the roadside in front of me, while the flower slaves in the distant fields stopped their work one after another and stood respectfully on the edge of the field ridge.

Then, two leading little girls in green clothes appeared at the door of the bamboo wall.As soon as they appeared, everyone lowered their heads and dared not make any more noise.I also lowered my head, listening to the sound of footsteps stepping on the dirt in the distance approaching a little bit.The girl in Biyi walked over, and then the corner of the white patterned floral dress came into view, her steps were windy, and a light fragrance was blowing.

I couldn't help raising my head and glanced secretly, just in time to see a woman passing by me, her black hair was hanging behind her, her side face was plain and beautiful, but her expression was cold, and even her upright figure was full of aura. A deterrent that no one can approach.

Qin Xiang, the owner of the garden in white, is a well-known ice beauty in the medicine farm.

I actually compared her with the princess for the first time.Hmm...not as good-looking as the princess, but she has an excellent temperament and can be considered a first-class beauty.

Suddenly, as if she had sensed something, she stopped and turned to look at me.

Not good!I quickly lowered my head in shock, she had already stepped forward, her cold fingertips raised my chin, her face was expressionless: "Are you Miss Yin's new flower slave?"

This voice... I was startled, and replied calmly: "Yes, the little one is now ranked seventeen."

"Very good, come with me." The beauty left with a flick of her sleeves, unrestrained and neat.

The kind-hearted boss next to me hastily reminded me in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, our master is going to test newcomers. If she asks you some tips on how to grow flowers later, just follow the answers I taught you. Don't be nervous." Wrong answer."

Seeing his serious expression, I tentatively asked: "What if I accidentally say something wrong."

The boss immediately frowned, "Anyway...be careful."

I always feel very unsafe.I followed the little girl in Bi Yi anxiously, and went to the courtyard in the back mountain with many suspicions in my heart.

This is a place exclusively for the owner of the garden, and the servants are usually not allowed to come here.When I walked into the front yard, there were clusters of flowers everywhere, which were extremely gorgeous, but beautiful and enchanting. In addition to the silence of no one around, it added a bit of eerie and strange feeling.I noticed that the soil under the bushes was an unusual red.

I heard it before, that there are actually countless people who were executed for breaking the rules or died of exhaustion, their flesh and blood melted into the soil and turned into flower fertilizer.Therefore, there is still a private saying in the Hongjin Garden-the garden owner's resting place, every inch of red mud is different, colorful butterflies chase after flowers, and bones dry under flowers.

Under the gorgeous appearance, this place is actually a bloody and terrifying place.And the cold and beautiful garden owner in white is like a flesh-eating flower blooming on the pile of bones.

While imagining the horrible scene, I was led into the house by the smiling little girl.Immediately, the two female slaves bowed their heads and walked out, and closed the door by the way, leaving me and the garden owner inside.

Hey, do you need to close the door like this to test newcomers?

I became inexplicably nervous.And the man in white sat leisurely on the chair opposite me, looking at me calmly.

I always feel that the eyes of this cold-faced garden owner...

"Let me ask you, how to take care of the peony field?" She asked unexpectedly.

Is it really just to test newcomers?I raised my eyebrows and replied: "In this month, our peony fields should be topdressed. Fertilizers should be fertilized in ditches, watered in the morning and evening, and weeds need to be weeded every day. There are many cow weeds in the mountains with deep roots. To avoid hurting the flowers and plants, It can be cured by medicine."

The person opposite raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked: "Then how to harvest?"

"The root of peony is used as medicine. When digging, remove the rhizome and root, wash it with water, carefully scrape off the rough skin, boil it in boiling water until it becomes soft, and then take it out and dry it in the sun. In addition, the head of peony is chosen to be thick and plump. Cut open, each piece has two or three bud heads, which can be sown or stored immediately."

"In addition to taking care of the peony, you also take care of the crabapple forest, right?" She held up the teacup, flicked it with the lid a few times, and sucked it carefully.A sweet and warm smell emanated from the incense burner on the side, and the smoke curled up, as if a tulle was spreading in front of her.

"Yes." I understood what she meant, and said, "Uncle Zhang and the others have already told me that tomorrow the pond mud will be changed in the crabapple grove, and then watered in the morning and evening without accumulating dampness. Green branch water."

"What is Luzhishui, do you know?"

"It's a potion specially used in the villa to spray flowers and treat insects. It is divided into fan green and Italian green. For begonias, it is better to mix seven parts of fan green and three parts of Italian green."

"Yeah." The garden owner nodded, as if she was quite satisfied with my performance, but for some reason, I always felt that there was some kind of coldness hidden in her slightly raised mouth.Then I heard her say: "After two months, the camellias will be in full bloom. Do you know how to take care of them?"

Huh, Camellia?They never told me this.I thought for a while and replied, "Should we water more...and loosen the soil?"

"Heh." The owner of the garden sneered, got up and walked slowly in front of me, and said, "compost first, apply more fertilizer for strong seedlings, and less fertilizer for weak seedlings, and keep water at the same time. After the flower buds form, use a brush to add medicine , once every three days, accompanied by water and fertilizer. You don’t know these things?”

I explained: "Owner, Seventeen is in charge of two areas of peony and crabapple. I haven't touched the others, so..."

"Golden tea is the most important thing in Jinyuan. You have seen it today, but you don't understand it at all?" She looked at me coldly, her tone lowered, and became as deep as that gaze: "It seems that I have to tune it carefully. Teach me yes."

In fact, if you think about what she said, it seems that there is some deep meaning behind it.But at the moment my attention is no longer on the content of the speech.I was skeptical before, but now I listen carefully, her voice... really resembles the princess, and not only the voice, but also the eyes!This person...couldn't be the old prince's illegitimate daughter!or……

I was startled: Is Qin Xiang pretending to be the princess? !

No, no, how is it possible, the princess is still sick and bedridden, how could it be... I couldn't help but look at the root of the hair behind the owner's ears, carefully discerning.

"Presumptuous." The man in white in front of me noticed my gaze, raised his eyebrows, and said displeasedly, "What are you looking at?"

Too bad, I lost my sense of proportion when I was engrossed.I didn't have time to look any further, so I quickly lowered my head and feigned panic.It's a pity that a certain cold and arrogant garden owner would not tolerate the slightest encroachment from others. He flicked his sleeves coldly and said: "I will punish you to go to Qingxi to pick up ten tanks of water immediately, and then hoe ten fields. You will not rest until the work is completed."

No!I mourned: "But the owner of the garden, dinner is ready at this hour." Could you let me eat first.

"Really." She narrowed her eyes suspiciously: "Then it's fine if you eat it tomorrow."

This person is definitely not the princess!Thousands of arrows pierced my heart.

If I had known this before, I shouldn't have taken careless risks and caused such an end!If this continues, I'm afraid that one day I will be reduced to a bone of bones!

Sadly, I went back to the field and worked another afternoon.During the period, the boss secretly stuffed a steamed bun for me, but it couldn't last long. In the evening, I was so tired that I almost lay down.

Just when he was dizzy, a big man ushered in the garden.Yin Shanlan took her slave girl and that young master Leng to our place leisurely.

"Hey, you." Yin Shanlan was obviously coming towards me, her eyes wandered around, and when she saw me, she stood still a few steps away, pointing at me arrogantly.After seeing the embroidered characters on my clothes, he changed his tune and said, "Jin Shiqi, what's up, have you worked hard?"

She is here to gloat.I said sadly, "Miss, Shi Qi is almost exhausted."

"Huh, you deserve it, who told you that you were so cowardly at the time, now you know you were wrong." A certain lady raised her chin triumphantly, and as soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of the people around her changed.

"What?!" Leng Xiao on the side stepped forward angrily, and reprimanded: "You actually did something rude to Miss?!"

Before I even opened my mouth to defend, Yin Shanlan seemed to be annoyed by him, and walked over to me, not caring about other people's eyes, holding my face and looking around, then burst out laughing: "I'm really tired." Ah, Xiaoqiao's face is pale. Have you had dinner yet?"

Hearing this sentence, I immediately put aside all worries and pretended to be pitiful, and said with tears in my eyes, "No, I don't have lunch yet."
