The one hundred and twenty-eighth Golden House wants to hide Jiao

When Mei Sanniang was called by Queen Xiao to place the long box for washing her heart, she had already thought that this might be because the two of them wanted to talk about something privately, and it was inconvenient for her to be present. So after she got to the storeroom in the west wing, she didn't go back to the hall immediately, but went to the back kitchen and asked them to add an extra meal tonight.

“…… Who is visiting? A little official and maid who had a good relationship with Mei Sanniang rolled up her sleeves, sat on the side of the small table and chose vegetables, and asked curiously when she heard Mei Sanniang's words in the distance.

Mei Sanniang was stunned for a moment by her question. Mei Sanniang is very familiar with Qin Ying, but it is really difficult for her to clearly tell Qin Ying's identity.

When they first met, Qin Ying was an uncle in Qingyang Restaurant, Chengdu Prefecture, Yizhou; Later, Qin Ying took Mei Sanniang through several narrow and difficult Shu passes, and came to Li Tang's capital Chang'an, where Qin Ying worked as a handyman in Zhonglu Pavilion in Pingkangfang; Later, Qin Ying was kicked out of Zhonglu Pavilion by the bustard's mother, and went to the Xuandu Temple of Chongye Fang to place an order, where Qin Ying became a resident Taoist; However, now, Qin Ying was ordered to enter the palace to pray for His Royal Highness the Prince, and listened to Xiao Yu, the younger brother of Empress Xiao, that Qin Ying already had an official body and ate the money allocated by the imperial court every month.

"A child named Qin Ying, on the order of the eldest grandson, came from the palace to meet Niangniang." Mei Sanniang hesitated for a moment and chose the most appropriate wording.

When the head of the kitchen heard this, he stretched out half of his face from the stove and said, "Since he is a child, would it be good to make some sweets for him?" ”

Mei Sanniang thought that Qin Ying's interest in sweets had never been high, so she wanted to shake her head and smile and say no, but a thought suddenly appeared in her mind: her and Qin Ying's identities were different from the past...... It's better not to let people know that they know, so as not to cause trouble to Qin Ying. So the movement of shaking her head froze, and she easily changed her mouth and said yes.

At this time, in the hall, the conversation between Empress Xiao and Qin Ying had not stopped.

"Do I choose the day of the feast?" Empress Xiao sighed lazily. Her mood was a little unsmooth, after all, she was old and was controlled by children in a few words, which was an unacceptable thing.

Qin Ying bowed and bowed, but there was an imperceptible cunning hidden in his lowered eyes: "I have a three-day vacation when I leave the palace this time. If you can choose the night after tomorrow. It couldn't be better. ”

Empress Xiao lowered her neck gracefully, and after being silent for a while, she said, "Then how are you going to repay me after the banquet the night after tomorrow?" ”

This time it was Qin Ying's turn to be silent. She never thought that Empress Xiao would talk about the terms of the deal on the surface, and the problem was so sharp and refreshing. It simply made Qin Ying defenseless.

“…… I will save up the monthly salary, buy a house and settle Mei Sanniang, and don't let you continue to wear the hat of being against Hou Shangshu. Qin Ying rubbed his hands together twice, lowered his head and said softly.

Qin Ying had long had the idea of buying real estate, and she had been in Chang'an City for the past two years. has lived in Pingkangfang and Chongyefang, subconsciously feeling that she can't be like this for a long time, and she has more or less praised some silver on hand, although it is not enough to buy a small house, but if she and Mei Sanniang pool money to buy a house, it will definitely not be a fool's dream.

"You have bothered Mei Xuan so much, if you say that you don't have any side thoughts, it really makes people unbelievable." Empress Xiao looked at Qin Ying, wanting to see an expression other than indifference on her face. In the end, Empress Xiao, who found that it was fruitless, gave up and sighed long. "Taking Mei Xuan in will offend a certain powerful person, and it will also implicate Hachiro's career, but Mei Xuan is the only comfort by my side, and I am really reluctant if she leaves."

Qin Ying tilted his head and weighed it, and said slowly: "If the house in Xingdao is not high, then buy the house here." "The two houses are in the same square, and it is very convenient for Mei Sanniang to visit Queen Xiao.

Mei Sanniang saw that the sun was no longer visible in the patio, and it was probably the time of the unitary, except for her shoes to walk to the door, knocked on the door twice and entered. Qin Ying's face was calm as usual. Empress Xiao looked at Mei Sanniang's eyes with a little more playfulness.

The first time Empress Xiao heard Mei Sanniang's name, it was in the mouth of her eighth brother Xiao Yu. He said that Pingkangfang now has a famous prostitute in Chang'an, called Mei Xuan. Invite her to come over to the house and play music at the banquet, and it will cost at least half a tael of silver at a time. However, dignitaries and dignitaries rushed to send posts. And he is happy to burn money like this. Empress Xiao heard it at the time and thought that Mei Sanniang was just an ordinary official prostitute with some talent.

The second time I heard Mei Sanniang's name was when the geisha from Zhonglu Pavilion came to the door. They pleaded for Mei Sanniang, and said that Mei Sanniang was in prison, but it was actually because she did not follow Hou Junji's blasphemous. Empress Xiao's heart moved, and she felt that this Mei Sanniang seemed to have some backbone. is different from the geisha who succumb to power with the idea of "selling her art but not her body".

As the old saying goes, it's better to see than to hear. When Empress Xiao first saw Mei Sanniang in Dali Temple Prison, she had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and then she couldn't help but want to shelter her, and it was even more natural to keep her in her own house. After a few days of getting along, Empress Xiao knew where the familiarity came from, because ...... Mei Sanniang is very similar to her younger self. Saving Mei Sanniang's life is equivalent to saving herself when she was young; Treating Mei Sanniang better is equivalent to treating herself well when she was young.

After Empress Xiao took in Mei Sanniang, she sometimes considered Mei Sanniang's future.

Although no one will touch Queen Xiao's moldy head and say that she is old and frail, it is an indisputable fact that Queen Xiao is old after all. It is impossible for her to shelter Mei Sanniang for the rest of her life.

It is more difficult for Mei Sanniang to find a family to marry, and now people discriminate against older women who were born as geisha.

And what Qin Ying said today surprised Queen Xiao very much. She didn't expect that Qin Ying was very attentive to Mei Sanniang, even to the point of "hiding Jiaojiao in the golden house".

If Mei Sanniang was entrusted to Qin Ying, Empress Xiao didn't think it was a bad thing.

Thinking of this, Empress Xiao smiled and asked, "Mei Xuan, after Qin Ying saves up the moon and buys a house in Xingdao, can I take you out?" Seeing the confused and incomprehensible look on Mei Sanniang's face, Empress Xiao asked persistently, "...... Is it good or bad? ”

Mei Sanniang was really frightened by this question. Leaving Pingkangfang Zhonglu Pavilion and being an ordinary official maid is already a life state that can only be realized in a dream. She never wanted to be kept in captivity in the house for nothing.

Seeing Mei Sanniang's voiceless appearance, Qin Ying shook her head and said, "It's not enough for me to save my own monthly salary for two years, so I want to buy a house with you, but I don't know what you think." (To be continued.) )
