Chapter 26: Suspicion
The words "woe to Xiao Wall" and Nanyue's analysis made Wan Yanmin's face instantly gloomy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Back then, Xia Ji colluded with foreign countries to cause the Sichuan Yin Rebellion, but it was not a disaster that caused Xiao Wall. The queen mother was wronged, his father died in battle, and the residual poison in his body has not been cured so far, and may not even be cured for a lifetime, all of which are caused by this woman. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth flashed with a cold playful smile.
Noticing that Yan Min's face was wrong, Nan Yue looked at him with some concern, and asked carefully: "What's wrong with you?" Maybe it's not as serious as I said, maybe the people from the Internal Affairs Office just want to scrape some oil and water." ”
"I will not allow this to happen a second time in this palace. The bones of his hands gurgled and glowed blue-white.
Nan Yue knew that he must be recalling the old things and intended to be relieved, but when he thought about it, he subconsciously overturned the illogical speculation just now: "Even if the people in the Internal Affairs Office want to fill their pockets, but the total amount of accounts remains the same, they can't get anything out of it." "I feel more and more confused.
"Otherwise, I'll go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and let the steward who handles the accounts explain it clearly. ”
said that he was about to go out, but was stopped by Wan Yanmin.
"As you said, the person who made this fake account was meticulous and skillful. It must be a treacherous person, or an old fritter of the Internal Affairs Office, you are not familiar with the internal affairs of the palace when you first arrive, and you may not be able to take down those people, but you will only startle the snake and let go of the cockroaches behind you. ”
"Behind the scenes, you mean ......."
"Even the smallest sand in this palace accidentally enters the water, it has the capital to stir up a thousand waves. There has always been an inextricable connection between the harem and the former dynasty. ”
"So what are you going to do? ”
"You're not saying you've pushed out the original ledger and shown it to me. ”
"Oh. Nanyue hurriedly responded, her eyes searching the account pages, "I also pushed the approximate amount along the vine, as for how much they have changed in the trivial places, I really don't know." ”
Nanyue found the account book that she had restored with her own hands and handed it to Wan Yanmin.
The handwriting on the brand-new ledger is beautiful and clean, but it reveals the vigor and bones that ordinary women can't write. The body temperature of the word is clean and beautiful, and it looks comfortable and pleasant, Wan Yanmin even feels that there is a faint ...... between the bones of the word Familiar taste.
"You learned your handwriting yourself?"
"It's my teacher,...... My teacher taught it. Nanyue stammered without a trace in her words.
"You just said that there is a lot of money for the renovation of the inner palace. ”
"Yes, most of the projects are for the purchase of precious and valuable trees such as boxwood, mahogany, camphor and even red sandalwood"
Nanyue counted them one by one with her fingers, but found that the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became. Holding his cheeks, he said: "But I have been in the palace for many days, and I have not seen such a complicated repair in the harem. ”
"Those concubines of yours, although there are a few pampered and domineering, do not look like overly extravagant people, even the Bai Tingying who gave me fox skin, I have not seen her build such a large project. ”
Wan Yanmin suddenly felt that she was very cute, and she didn't deliberately please the concubines of the harem who were jealous and crushed, but just gave such fair praise and criticism.
"You don't have to set your sights on them, and no one has the courage to do that in the palace without being ordained. Wanyan Minfeng gave a conclusion lightly.
"Then the wood can disappear out of thin air. Nanyue felt even more bizarre when she heard him say this.
"No, I still have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”
After seeing that Yan Min had the intention of blocking it, he hurriedly smiled playfully: "Don't worry, I'm just asking some...... Well, the Queen's business. Won't alarm them. ”
Looking at her delicate back as she jumped out of the palace gate lightly, the corners of Wan Yanmin's lips were silently pursed, and she didn't even notice it.
It's just that everything is seen by the wind.
This person who has never been smiling, has always been careful about his master's heart, and today he doesn't know whether he is happy or worried.
The hall of the Internal Affairs Office was simple and elegant, which made Nanyue feel suspicious.
While waiting for the little maid to call the manager, he couldn't help muttering: "Look at the interior furnishings, it doesn't look like a greedy person." ”
In the middle of the night, a solemn-looking man came out from inside and looked at Nanyue deeply. Don't hurry and bow down.
"The villain has been circling around, and he has seen the queen mother. ”
Nan Yue looked at his posture and demeanor, knowing that he was not an easy person to deal with, and said to him with a smile: "Manager Zhou is the head of the internal affairs government's management of material revenue and expenditure?"
"Exactly, I don't know what happened when Niangniang descended to cover the ground?" The attitude in the words was very slow and calm.
"The palace is in charge of the harem for the first time, and I came to see the daily operation of the Internal Affairs Office, and I also asked Mr. for some things by the way. He winked at Chuanling as he spoke.
Chuan Ling hurriedly held a lacquerware with a red cloth to the circle, and lifted the red cloth on it, but it was a glittering gold bill.
"Thank you for the reward. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has been trembling and doing things for its masters. Zhou Xuan's expression and demeanor were seen by Nanyue.
The moment he saw the gold, the chief steward did not have the slightest envy in his eyes, and accepting this "gift" was not so much a reward as a fear.
"Mother, please come with me. ”
Nanyue was led into the material shop by him, and saw that there were indeed some rare woods in the courtyard, which were no different from the varieties recorded in the account book, but the number was obviously wrong.
Nanyue didn't say anything, she just thought she liked the wood very much, took a piece of Zinan with her hand, and sniffed it gently: "It's really fragrant, Chuanling, Gai Ming'er Palace also wants to add a few pieces of furniture in the Jiaofang Palace." ”
As if reluctant to give up, he carefully examined several other woods before Shanshan left.
Nanyue took the time of appreciating the wood, and Zhou Xuan had been secretly observing the changes in her expression, and he didn't dare to let go of every smile in the corner of the queen's eyes, and kept it in his heart.
In normal times, Zhou Xuan would definitely regard Nanyue as Ning Xin'er's harem woman who coveted luxury, but the affairs of the previous dynasty could not help but make him wary. The woman who could make the general of the capital bow eight times came to the Internal Affairs Office for no reason, which is a curse rather than a blessing.
After Nanyue left, Zhou Xuan suddenly asked the little guy on duty in a low voice: "Have any of the above characters been here recently?" ”
The little guy scratched his head and thought about it: "There is no master, hey no, yesterday, the imperial commander beside the emperor came and took away the general account of the past two years. ”
The color of Zhou Xuan's eyes sank obviously, and he said to the little guy: "I know, I am optimistic about the Internal Affairs Office, and anyone and everything will be dealt with when I come back." After admonishing the little servant again, Xingse hurriedly left the Internal Affairs Office.
As everyone knows, although Nanyue and Chuanling walked out of the gate of the Internal Affairs Mansion calmly, they also trotted all the way into Shengxuan Palace with their skirts at this moment. When he arrived at Yan Min, he didn't have time to say anything, and solemnly gave the concubine's big salute: "Your Majesty, please allow the concubine to leave the palace immediately." ”
