83. Whistleblowing

I don't know how I got back to Lichuntai, it seems that my mother sent me back, and it seems that I walked back by myself, in short, I came back, drove away from the people, kicked off my shoes and socks, and sat barefoot under the porch in a daze.

The weather in February is clear, and the warm wind of mid-spring gently blows through people, leaving a few faint fragrances of flowers in the vicinity. I don't know who came up with the idea, many branches are tied to the broken jade pieces made of Feng Duo, as soon as the spring breeze passes, it makes a crisp sound of broken jade.

There are also many such Fengduo in the second hall of Penglai and Zhujing, but they are made of crystal, and they will refract colorful light during the day.

I was often sleepy when I was studying in the summer, and the masters had their own jobs, so they couldn't be often controlled, and the female officials who served and the little ladies who accompanied me didn't dare to care about me, so I asked Cui Mingde for an idea, and hung the wind on the four corners of the eaves.

Penglai is not far from the Taiye Pool, there is often the wind blowing, and the sound of the wind Duo Ding Lin is endless, accompanied by such a sound, and the meaning of sleepiness is often solved. At that time, several companions each gave me a pair of Feng Duo, gold, silver and jade, and Duwei Huan gave me a wooden one. I didn't know her situation at the time, I only felt that this wood was very simple and interesting, and I wanted to ask the young superintendent to make a batch for me as it was, but in the end my mother knew, and appreciated a batch of crystal carvings, which were completely different on each string of carvings, and sometimes the popular group flowers, standing birds, entangled branches, and also elegant and elegant Xue Liting Lan, as well as many ancient and modern allusions and stories of miniature carvings, but no matter how good those are, they are always inferior to the one wood that first entered my eyes, and it pleases me the most.

When the people saw that I liked these things, some of them also found a few good ones to offer me, but they could not compare with my mother and my companions, so they worked the novelty: someone brought me a pair of whistles, and hung them under the eaves, so that the sound of geese could be heard when the wind passed; someone offered a pair of iron duo, which was changed according to the style of hunting in the army, and its sound was loud, and when it sounded, the finches around the house were frightened and fluttered their wings; the most to my liking was the offering of Yang Niangzi, who asked her son to bring me a set of things like a marquee from outside the palace, and the top was a whistle.

Not only me, but also my companions are actually interested in these things, whenever Mrs. Yang and I sit outside, within a moment, you can see these ladies of the family coming from all sides one after another, or to study with me, or to give me a small thing, or just "accidentally" passing by and saying hello... At that time, we were not familiar with each other, but when we sat together, we were like close friends in the boudoir for many years, and even Cui Mingde, who had always adhered to the etiquette of the boudoir, often put down the shelf of the lady of the family at this time, and was willing to take off his shoes, and sat with us on the floor of the cloister in a row, swinging his feet while listening to the story of Mrs. Yang.

I believe that after the death of Yang Niangzi, there will still be people who will come to me with these stories and give me more exquisite things, I will say "it is better to be wood" in the morning, and in the afternoon I will be able to see my corridor full of all kinds of wood products, and in the evening I will say "whether the people of Zhenla country wear clothes or not", and someone must seriously search for a copy of "Tang Regional Customs Test" for me, but some things, changed is changed, no matter what, can not go back to the past.

The sky is getting dark, someone is holding on to the lamp to look for me, I can't see her face in the dark, I can only see that it is about fourteen or fifteen years old little girl, slender body, light steps, I suspect that it is Wei Huan, the corners of the mouth raised, and immediately fell, and when the person got closer, it was not Wei Huan, but the palace people in front of my mother, I was inexplicably relieved, hurriedly put on my shoes and jumped down, and stood still to listen to this person's words: "The lady asked Erniang if she could eat?" If not, ask Shangshan to prepare a few refreshing dishes, use less, and go to bed early. The lady also instructed that tomorrow's ceremony would be cumbersome, and the second mother could put some snacks in her sleeve and secretly take a bite when she was hungry. ”

She also carried a food box, it was a pheasant roast given by her mother, the pheasant meat was cut into very fine shreds, soaked in soup, and then put it in the oven to roast, after roasting, sprinkled with crushed dogwood and pepper, it is still hot; this pheasant roast is also accompanied by a newly baked flax cake, there is nothing in the cake, only the face is sprinkled with sesame seeds, baked in the oven, the face is crispy and fragrant, I was not in the mood to eat at all, I smelled the taste, but I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thanked her with a smile, carried the food box inside, ate three cakes in one go, the stomach was full, the mood was better, I couldn't wait to call Song Fuyou to ask: "Tell you to inspect the people in the palace, how did you do?"

Song Fuyou was stunned and said: "The manpower has not been prepared yet, and it has not yet been decided which places to check..."

I immediately frowned and said, "If there is a mistake, take it, how can you divide it into several places?"

Song Fuyou said: "The punishment in the palace, there are always theft, laziness, deception, disrespect and many crimes, the concubine is thinking about who to supervise what crime, and when there is a charter, and then submit it to the lady." ”

These words were pedantic, I waved my hand, and ordered someone to call Wei Huan again. I originally wanted to ask her about a solemn shelf, but when I saw this outfit, I blurted out: "Why did you think of wearing this dress? Feeling speechless, he hurriedly smiled and said to the side: "In the future, you can also dress like Wei Si and do things neatly." ”

Song Foyou disagreed: "The lady has not yet turned against the beginning, and she still wears a Taoist robe." ”

Wei Huan bowed his head and said: "It's the concubine's fault, because I didn't bring riding clothes, so I had to wear a Hu costume first." ”

I was surprised and said, "Are you going to ride a horse?" and the next sentence "Why don't you call me" swallowed raw, waved his hand, and said nonchalantly: "It's just a body of clothes, it's good to wear conveniently, besides, can't Dao Gu use orchids? I think this dress is very good-looking, and in the future, you will do the same, and we will play ball together." ”

Wei Huan didn't hear what I said about "playing ball", and raised his head and asked, "Is there something wrong with the princess summoning concubines?"

I remembered the purpose of calling her, pursed my lips and said: "A-Niang ordered me to quickly investigate the lawlessness in the palace, but Song Niangzi said that the manpower has not been agreed upon, so I asked you to think about it together and see if there is any way." ”

Wei Huan slowly looked around, and said to me: "The concubine happens to have a way, not only does it not need a lot of manpower, but it can also completely clean up the lawlessness. ”

I unconsciously moved forward and said, "Say it quickly." ”

Wei Huan lowered his eyes and said: "In the Zichen Palace, everyone has to say things in the queen of heaven, and the queen of heaven does not avoid trivialities, and everyone has to say something, they have to be received, so the small night and the like are dormant, and the bright candle of the saint shines, and the concubine thinks that the princess can also learn this method, so that everyone can report each other." As soon as she said this, the faces of the people around me changed, and even I was startled, and said, "Isn't this encouraging people to tell the truth?"

As everyone knows, in the university in the previous life, what we hated the most was this kind of snitch villain, once this kind of person was discovered, it would inevitably be rejected by everyone, Wei Huan said such a method in front of everyone, isn't this looking for his own guilt? Besides, who of these people in the palace is not lazy or greedy for small profits? I raised my eyebrows at Wei Huan and motioned her to change her words according to my words, who knew that she looked at me and said firmly: "It is to encourage people to snitch-- Although the princess is the most enlightened person, it is difficult for one person to observe many lawlessness of everyone, but it is better to take the eyes of everyone as the eyes and the mouths of the people, but to get twice the result with half the effort. There are many people in the palace, if the princess has no time to distinguish one by one, she can set up a wooden box in a remote place, there is a lock on the box, the key is only owned by the princess, there is a hole inside, where there is a report, are put into the hole, even if the person who is reported is high, I don't know who is reporting, and there is no way to retaliate, so that the person who reported will be more enthusiastic. ”

I was silent for a moment, and then asked her, "Do you really think this is useful?" This kind of thing that everyone feared and reported to each other vaguely reminded me of a time before, a very uncomfortable time.

Wei Huan nodded seriously.

My heart was a little cold, and after a while, I clenched my fist and said, "Okay." ”
