Chapter 259, Antique Room (II)

Hao Ming looked at the inconspicuous little eunuch in front of him, and said with a smile: "Shen Zhou's landscape paintings are very valuable, why don't you ask two eunuchs from the palace to help you move there." ”

Xiao Xu Zi hurriedly said: "Thank you Niangniang, it's just that the slave's hands and feet are quite stable, and it has always been the slave who takes pictures for Concubine Xian, and there has never been a mistake." ”

Ming's eyes sank, and his mouth fluttered with an "oh", "Since this is the case, this palace is not reluctant." He turned his head and said to Eunuch Guo: "Ask someone to pick up seven landscape paintings of Shen Zhou." Then he said to Xiao Xuzi: "You take advantage of other people's efforts to find paintings, write an IOU." ”

"IOU?!" Xiao Xu Zi was stunned.

Hao Ming smiled and said as a matter of course: "If you borrow something, you naturally have to write an IOU." What's more, it's still such a precious ancient painting! Remember to put your name on it, and then press a handprint. Oh, you have to write the date of return, Concubine Xian has to copy, three months of hard work is enough, remember that after three months, you still have to return it in person! If you don't return it within the time limit, the palace will look for you! If you don't come back, it's your responsibility!"

Xiao Xu Zi suddenly broke into a cold sweat, but he pretended to be tough and said, "Niangniang......! There's no such rule!"

Bo Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "From now on, there will be!"

Xiao Xu Zi gritted his teeth and said: "Niangniang, why bother so much? What's more, the slave can't write!"

Hao Ming smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't write, there must be a slave who can write in the antique room, ask someone to help you write an IOU, and then read it to you, you are only responsible for signing and handprinting." You can always write your own name, right? If not, this palace can ask someone to teach you!"

Xiao Xu Zi lowered his voice. Half threateningly: "Why should Niangniang be so strict, if Concubine Niangniang knows, she will be unhappy! But I have to give Concubine Xian some face!"

He smiled, "Give Concubine Xian some face? Okay, yes! Then the return date can be extended by one month! Four months of return is complete, right?" -- the date is easy to say, but if you don't write an IOU, you can't!!

Xiao Xu Zi saw that Yu Ming was soft and hard and didn't eat, so he had to grit his teeth and said: "Since Niangniang said so, the slave has nothing to say." This calligraphy and painting, the slave also did not receive it. Slave farewell!" He hit a thousand children, and then he was about to retreat.

Humming immediately yelled: "Take down his !! for this palace"

Although Xu Jinlu and Xiao Linzi and others didn't know why their mother suddenly had a seizure, they didn't hesitate to go up and press the caught off guard Xiao Xu Zi to the ground.

Xiao Xu Zi was suddenly panicked: "Isn't it possible for a slave to borrow calligraphy and painting?!!

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Those calligraphy and paintings I borrowed before." I haven't returned it yet, since you're here, let's write an IOU! Didn't you just say that the ancient calligraphy and painting that Concubine Xian wanted. You've always been the one who picked it up!"

Xiao Xu Zi yelled inwardly and shouted: "Concubine Shu, don't deceive people too much! The slave is a person in Concubine Xian's palace." Niangniang is going to tear her face with my concubine master?!"

Hao Ming sneered, sure enough, this slave has a problem, isn't it just to write an IOU? The return date is also negotiable, but this little Xu Zi is half a hundred prevarications, and the soft and hard are all in battle.

Hao Ming softly instructed Banxia: "Go and ask Concubine Xian to come over, she's a minion...... Hehe, I'm afraid it's a thief!" If Xiao Xu Zi didn't write calligraphy and painting from it, why didn't he refuse to write an IOU? After you write it, go back and sue Concubine Xian. Unless he has a reason why he can't write an IOU - because he can't pay it back!!

Xiao Xu Zi's face suddenly turned like earth, but his eyes turned quickly and smartly, and he yelled: "A slave is not a thief! How can Concubine Shu frame a slave in such empty words!"

Hao Ming snorted softly: "You better save some effort, and explain to your master later!"

Concubine Xian's Wanfang Anhe Hall is also not far from here, as soon as she heard that the people in her palace were detained, she was furious, and she rushed over as soon as possible, she roared at the mouth as if she was eating gunpowder: "Concubine Shu detained the servants of the palace, what does it mean?!!!"

When Xiao Xu Zi saw that his master, Concubine Xian, was coming, he immediately cried and shouted: "Niangniang save the slave!! Concubine Shu Niangniang said that the slave is a thief without evidence! The slave is wronged!"

Concubine Xian saw that the eunuchs in her palace were tied in the corner by the screaming slaves with their arms cut, and she was furious, Concubine Shu had just taken over the palace power, and she wanted to beat the dog and bully the master? !

Concubine Xian's willow eyebrows were raised, and she scolded angrily: "Concubine Shu!!What do you mean by this?!"

With a smile, Lianbu stepped forward lightly, "Sister Xian, don't be angry, please listen to my sister's explanation." ”

Concubine Xian snorted, and said with apricot eyes: "This palace can listen to your explanation, but let go of the minions of this palace first!"

Hao Ming stroked the coral beads on his sideburns, and said with a smile: "That's not possible, if he runs away, how can it be good?"

Concubine Xian was so angry that her face turned purple, "Concubine Shu!!Don't deceive people too much!!Even if you take care of the affairs of the six palaces, you have to prioritize them first! What qualifications are you in this palace, and what qualifications are you?! Now you are in a majestic position with this palace! This palace just asked Xiao Xu Zi to take two or three Shen Zhou landscape paintings, and you actually treated him as a thief, what is the reason?!"

Bo Ming's ears were extremely sharp, and he immediately grasped the key, "Two or three Shen Zhou's landscape paintings?"

Concubine Xian frowned, "So what?"

"Tut!" Xiao Ming smacked his tongue while skimming the little Xu Zi in the corner, and said, "Sister Xian Fei, the little Xu Zi in your palace, you have to take seven or eight pieces when you open your mouth!"

Concubine Xian's brows furrowed a little tighter when she heard this, and she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Xuzi.

The little Xu Zi panicked in his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Our mother likes Shen Zhou's painting the most! The slave is afraid that the mother will not copy enough, so he will take a few more!"

Concubine Xian's expression relaxed, and she said: "This little thing is nothing!"

He smiled and said, "Although this antique house is not an important place, all the items placed here are the emperor's objects. Therefore, my sister has decided from today that if you take a painting, you must write an IOU, and set a return date. But Sister Xian, the little eunuch, refused to write even if she was dead or alive. ”

Concubine Xian snorted coldly, "Concubine Shu really wants the new official to take office three times!!! Write an IOU, is this afraid that the palace will not pay it back?!"

He smiled and said, "But...... The calligraphy and paintings that Sister Xian borrowed before, I really haven't returned them yet!"

Concubine Xian's face darkened, and she scolded angrily: "Nonsense!! The calligraphy and paintings borrowed by this palace a month ago have long been called back!"

"Oh?" Ming showed surprise, and glanced at the steward Eunuch Guo.

Eunuch Guo hurriedly stepped forward and said cautiously: "A few days ago, Concubine Xian Niangniang did return three paintings. But...... Last month, you borrowed six and still have three to repay. ”

"Bastard! Last month, the palace clearly only took three pictures, you dog ......" Concubine Xian's angry rebuke only stopped abruptly halfway through. Concubine Xian had a stunned look on her face, and couldn't help but turn her gaze to Xiao Xuzi, the little eunuch in her palace. That little Xu Zi's face turned pale at the moment, and his body was already trembling.

Eunuch Guo said: "And last year, Niangniang, you borrowed more than 20 ancient paintings five times, but you only repaid less than 10. And the year before last, I also owed more than a dozen calligraphy and paintings. These minions are all recorded, if the concubine doesn't believe it, the minions can immediately find out the records. ”

Concubine Xian's face became darker and darker, and she was so angry that she grinded her teeth.

Hao Ming covered her lips and smiled, "Sister Xian seems to have raised a giant mouse! Twenty or thirty ancient calligraphy and paintings, but they are all priceless things, if you take out the palace, I am afraid that I don't know how many fertile fields and how many houses can be exchanged!"

Concubine Xian looked at the little Xu Zi's miserable white and shrunken appearance, and she understood it thoroughly in her heart, so she was so angry that she couldn't wait to fry this little Xu Zi in eight oil pots!

It is conceivable that one day, this matter will be known to the emperor...... Concubine Xian couldn't help but feel cold in her heart. If the emperor knew, how could she escape the guilt?!! and under the hatred, Concubine Xian stepped forward a few steps, and slapped her hard, slapping the little Xu Zi to the ground.

Humming smacked his tongue, this fiery temper...... Fortunately, the eldest princess did not follow the concubine.

But Concubine Xian slapped Xiao Xu Zi, but she was still not angry, so she kicked one foot after another, like a shrew, where is the demeanor of a palace concubine? Concubine Xian's flowerpot bottom shoes are three inches high, extremely heavy, and extremely strong.

Xiao Xu Zi hugged his head and shrank on the ground, screaming in pain while shouting for mercy. But Concubine Xian was angry in her heart, and she was stunned for more than a dozen kicks in one go, kicking herself so tired that she was out of breath, and then stopped.

Xiao Xu Zi has already broken his head and is bleeding, several teeth have fallen out, the whole person is dying, he has already lost half his life, and a mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth, ** said: "Niang Niang spare my life...... Minion...... Don't dare to ...... anymore."

Concubine Xian took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressed her anger, and then said to Ming: "Sister Shu, Xiao Xuzi is a slave of the palace, can you let the palace take it back for interrogation?"

Yu Ming smiled and nodded: "Since it is my sister's minion, I naturally have to hand it over to my sister to deal with." It's just that ......" Ming paused, and then said: "Twenty or thirty calligraphy and paintings have been lost in the antique room, and I really don't dare not report to the emperor, sister." ”

Concubine Xian's face turned pale, if she told the emperor, she would have to fall into the name of a royal majesty who was not strict.

Hao Ming hurriedly said: "Those calligraphy and paintings, if they can be recovered, my sister will naturally cover up for my sister for a while." But, obviously, I am afraid that most of them will not be recovered. That being the case, it is useless to cover up. However, my sister will report to the emperor truthfully, and Sister Xian was deceived by the slaves and made an omission. ”

Concubine Xian reluctantly smiled, "Thank you sister." After that, he asked his palace people to leave with the miserable little Xu Zi. (To be continued.) )
