In Changle Palace, Empress Cao slowly ran out of lunch alone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since she took the lead in cutting the cost, the meals in the palace have become much simpler, and the ice basins in the palace have been reduced by half. The temperature wasn't as cool as it used to be, but it just didn't sweat.

After rinsing her mouth, Empress Cao walked to the window and pondered silently.

After a while, she spoke: "Miaofu, you leave the palace tomorrow, send this hairpin to Master Fang, the Hanlin Scholar, and ask him to join the Zhan Mansion." ”

This silver hairpin looks a little old, and it looks a little gray. The material I chose back then was not very good, and the style was not good. It is simply twisted into a few strands with silver wire to form a hollow plum blossom at the tail. After the baptism of the years, a little bit of black is revealed in the silver thread.

But Queen Cao's gaze at this silver hairpin was extremely gentle and distant.

If possible, she would rather bury the hairpin with the past and never remember it again.

But now is the best time to do so. There were several major events in the court, and Emperor Qinglong was too busy to stare at the harem. There is chaos in the city, and even if the shadow guard is capable, he can't keep an eye on so many officials. At this time, she didn't make a move, and when these few things passed, I am afraid that she would never have a chance again.

Princess Zhaoyang was placed under house arrest in disguise, and King Qi had to surface. Shu Changshi is more than loyal, lacks strategy, and his knowledge is even worse. If there is no capable person to assist, just relying on King Qi, she is still very uneasy.

Miao Fu waited on one side, a little trembling. She has served Queen Cao for so many years, and she never knew the existence of this silver hairpin.

After a while, Empress Cao reluctantly put the silver hairpin in her hand, "Remember, except for Lord Fang, you can't let anyone see you." ”

"Remember,!"

After being instructed, Miaofu went to the palace to report and received a waist card to leave the palace.

As Empress Cao's confidant and palace maid, it is common for her to go out of the palace on errands, and no one dares to ask her purpose.

With the silver hairpin in her arms, Miaofu was like a hot potato, and her heart was uneasy. Following Empress Cao, she also had some understanding of the current situation in the court. King Qi is preparing to build the Zhan Mansion, and with this silver hairpin, he can make the dignified Hanlin bachelors defect?

There must be something she doesn't know. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. This silver hairpin, she didn't dare to leave her body for a moment, for fear that one would be accidentally lost or seen.

finally survived a day, and as soon as the palace door opened on the second day, she hurried out of the palace.

She is out of the palace a lot, and she is familiar with the distribution in Luoyang City. But Empress Cao's instructions were kept in her heart, and she didn't dare to rush into it.

She found a clean teahouse, sat down on the second floor, and asked the shopkeeper to find a half-old child.

There are often such half-grown children in Luoyang City, wandering and playing on the streets, and no one knows the location of each house better than them. They also often help people spread the word and earn some scattered silver flowers.

This time it was a boy of about nine years old, wearing a faded red coat, and when he saw her, he knew that an errand was coming, and he smiled and asked, "What is the matter with your nobles?" ”

Miao Fu quietly inquired about several mansions and hid Lord Fang's mansion in them.

Knowing that Master Fang lived in Jixian Fang in the east of the city, she rewarded the boy with two golden beans, and the boy went down with a thousand thanks

After sitting for a while, let the guy serve two plates of pastries. After using most of it, she left the teahouse, hired a sedan chair, and went to Yong'an Street, the closest to Jixian Fang.

Along the way, she sat in the sedan chair and felt the hustle and bustle of the city.

Yong'an Street is a very lively street in the east of the city, and at the intersection of the street at the junction with Tongfu Street, many businesses have set up porridge shops here, and some victims are queuing up here to receive them.

She quietly lifted the curtain and took a look, and the victims were all yellow-skinned and thin, numb by the sudden disaster. After receiving the porridge, he muttered thanks in his mouth, and Mu Ran bowed and retreated.

After passing the noisy street, when I arrived at Yongan Street, I couldn't hear the lively sounds of the past, and the business of each family was very deserted. Only from time to time, Fang is beating gongs and drums to lead people and carry stretchers past.

She asked the sedan chair man to find a very elegant pen and ink shop, took out her purse and paid two big money. After thinking about it, he took out another one and put it in the hand of the sedan chair driver, and asked, "Who were those people carrying over just now?" ”

The sedan chair man sighed and said, "The girl has just arrived in Beijing, right?" You have to be careful not to catch the epidemic. There are notices on the streets, there are ways to prevent and prevent them, and the girl should take a good look. ”

After admonishing him, he returned to Miaofu's question: "These people are all suffering from the epidemic. Fang is carrying people away, striking the gong to keep nearby pedestrians away and not to get close to avoid infection. ”

"Aren't they afraid of that?" Miao Fu asked.

"The girl didn't see it, they all wore face towels and soaked them in medicinal juice, so they wouldn't be stained."

"Will this work?" Although the palace is also smoked every day, and a decoction is boiled for them to take internally and externally, she has not heard of this method to prevent infection.

The palanquin man nodded and said, "At first, I didn't know if it was useful, and they were also afraid." But I'm afraid that I can't do it, with Jingzhao Mansion watching from above, where do they dare to shirk? Fortunately, a few days have passed, and no one has been infected, I don't know who came up with this method, accumulate virtue. ”

If there was no such towel, Fang Zheng would have to do the same thing, and sooner or later he would be infected with the epidemic and add a few unjust souls.

He didn't know, but Miaofu knew it, and secretly thanked Xu Wanzhen who presented this method to the Queen Mother. If it weren't for her, Dr. Su would not have been approved by the Queen Mother, and the hospital would not have stocked up on these anti-epidemic medicinal materials in advance, which came in handy right now.

After sending the sedan chair man away, Miaofu walked to the corner of the street and found a few girls who were kicking shuttlecocks.

She squatted down and asked, "Do any of you know Lord Fang's mansion?" ”

A girl in a blue and white shirt stopped her movements and asked, "Is my sister asking Lord Hanlin Fang?" ”

Miao Fu nodded: "You help my sister send a message, please Lord Fang to come to the Yanxinzhai in front of you, you can't be seen by others, you know?" ”

The girl was a little embarrassed: "I can't enter Lord Fang's mansion." ”

Miao Fu took a golden bean and gave it to her: "You ask the porter to pass a message to Lord Fang, the four words plum blossom silver hairpin, Lord Fang will come out to see you." Remember? ”

She nodded and repeated: "Plum blossom silver hairpin." ”

glanced at the girls who kicked the shuttlecock with her, and said with a smile: "You guys also go together and kick the shuttlecock in another place." If Lord Fang comes, after an hour, you will still come to me here. When the time comes, one golden bean per person. ”

In Luoyang City, there are often people who send these children to send messages, and they are used to it, so they don't ask much. Hearing that there were golden beans to take, several girls cheered and walked away with a chatter.
