A new week has begun, and the updates of "Yue Ji" have become more stable. The word count has also increased a bit, so everyone can start reading now. Even if you still need to fatten it up, please leave *** behind, hehe.

  Wei Luo shook her head and asked curiously: "You said you're illiterate, but the words you spoke earlier were quite elegant. Why is that?"

  The round-faced man sized up Wei Luo with a sly smile, "You're still young and naive. If you want to spend the night with a beauty, how can you not even say a few words?"

  Wei Luo didn't take his teasing seriously and thought amusingly to herself: So these are the special phrases used for flirting with girls? No wonder they sounded so flowery.

  Wei Luo didn't know that Yuan Jiu Shi's words weren't just a language for flirting, he was simply decorating some originally colloquial expressions when flirting, which is also a characteristic of this era. Speaking like this is like the popular songs of later generations, a kind of beautiful expression in specific situations.

  Nor did he know what thoughts the girl with a round face of seventeen had stirred up, and although many beautiful and lovely girls passed by from time to time, he didn't speak again. And beside Weiluo, many good-looking casual workers had already fixed their dates for tonight.

  Of course, like Wei Luo, who is as weak and small as a chick, and tender like a rabbit, from head to toe has never received even half a glance.

  In the convoy, a strong sense of spring filled every face with relaxation, joy and anticipation.

  As they walked, the procession suddenly stopped. It turned out that the chief steward had already arranged for them to enter the mansion, and the people in front were lining up to go inside.

  Yuandian 17 said that Master Mei and the others would rest in Yicheng for two or three days, and then a noble person would come to greet them. As for who that noble person was, Yuandian 17 didn't know.

  Wei Luo knew that he could leave at any time, but also knew that being alone outside made it easy for swordsmen to take him down, so he prepared to continue staying with the caravan.

  As a famous courtesan known throughout the land, wherever she went there were always people willing to offer her their own estates to reside in. The current residence was also offered by a noble.

  Wei Luo and others were odd jobs, while others were queuing, they had to help lift things in. Wei Luo followed behind Yuan Jia's round face seventeen, doing not much work, but with a very busy look.

  Her ambiguous behavior, witnessed by the crowd of workers, did not raise a single objection. Whether it was her fame and reputation or her calm demeanor in the face of death, everyone felt that she was no ordinary person and could enjoy certain privileges.

  For Wei Luo, she was very eager to do something, unfortunately her body was too weak and small, and she couldn't even lift slightly heavy things.

  The place where the casual laborers lived was still the worst house in the whole courtyard. The big room after another didn't even have a bed, just spread a mat on the ground and one person could sleep.

  However, unlike the camp, the rooms here are mostly wooden houses and stone houses. The gaps between the rooms are large, and the wind leaks in from all sides, making it cooler, but also preventing the stench of the crowd from being trapped inside.

  There are always many chores to do, and rarely any time to rest. Wei Luo, although she was just following behind the crowd, walking and stopping, didn't actually do anything, but her frail body couldn't take it, often experiencing shortness of breath and heart palpitations.

  It wasn't until sunset that the laborers finally finished moving all the items from the vehicle fleet into a specially designated room.

  At this time, the main hall had ignited a blazing torch, lighting up candles and lanterns, and the main temple was even more brightly lit, with people's voices booming and wine and meat fragrant.

  Tonight, many nobles have come especially to welcome the eyebrow family, and this wine and meat are prepared for them.

  For such a high-end banquet, it's naturally not necessary for the miscellaneous workers to show up. Even if they were serving wine and food, they wouldn't have the qualifications. Those who appeared in this gathering were all maids and young men with regular features, standard figures, and pleasant voices.

  Laborers cooked for themselves, just like on the road. Laborers ate a big mess, regardless of whether it was wild vegetables, rice, sorghum or green beans, they all threw them into the pot and boiled them together.

  Everyone seems to be in a hurry, after hastily filling their stomachs, they left the door with a few coins tightly clutched in their hands. Especially those who have an appointment with their lover, before leaving, they will also wash themselves with the clear water from the well at the back of the mountain and put on new hemp clothes.

  Wei Luo has been on edge since arriving in your esteemed place, eating wind and sleeping in the dew, and only with great difficulty did she obtain this opportunity to rest, where would she still have the heart to go out for a stroll?

  Her clothes were soaked with sweat and dried, repeated dozens of times. Wei Luo's greatest hope was to find a place to clean herself up and then sleep soundly. However, she had just made a vow not to let minor details lead her into danger, so after circling the back mountain, she returned to her dormitory dejectedly, took out three thick hemp quilts from the pile beside her, placed one on the ground, used two as covers, and lay down with her clothes still on.

  She thought she would have trouble falling asleep, but as soon as she lay down, she felt extremely sleepy and fell into a deep sleep in no time.

  This dream was not peaceful. In the dream, Wei Luo returned to her old home and happily followed behind her mother's buttocks. In the living room, she heard her father's nagging voice after he had drunk too much wine. The object of his nagging was naturally her only younger brother.

  Wei Luo was washing vegetables while listening to her father's scolding with a tilted ear, and as she listened, she suddenly let out a few giggles.

  She laughed so happily, so freely, it was the happiest she had felt since dawn. Perhaps she laughed too hard, as Wei Luoge let out a few snorts and woke up with a start.

  Wei Luo woke up with a smile still on her lips, but tears had unknowingly streamed down her face.

  She sat up with a start, hugging her quilt and staring blankly at the pitch-black sky outside. It was very late now, and in the large room, sounds of breathing and snoring rose and fell.

  This was a starry night without the bright moon, looking at the clear light outside the window, Wei Luo suddenly thought: actually this kind of day is not bad either. I just think about how to survive, and don't have the mind to indulge in flights of fancy. Half a year has passed, this is my first time truly feeling joy, although it was only for an instant.

  Wei Luo sat stupidly for half a time and fell asleep again.

  When she woke up, it was already the next morning.

  The miscellaneous workers' tasks were mainly performing or traveling. At such times, the tasks of Mei Da and Zhong Ji were simply attending various banquets, which didn't require their presence at all. The miscellaneous workers rarely had leisure time, and after finishing their duties, they would rush out one by one. Yuan Lian's Seventeen was even harder to spot than a shadow.

  Weiluo was very curious about Yicheng, but she had no intention of going out to play. After eating breakfast, she strolled around the yard. As she wandered, a clear and pleasant sound of golden and iron clashing echoed in her ears, Weiluo's heart moved, and she could no longer bear it, following the direction of the sound as she walked.
