Chapter 239: The Intention Behind It
Bao Shan turned around and raised his head to look in the direction where Gu Lan was, and asked in a friendly manner: "Sister Lan, the handkerchief that I was embroidering last time, you said that you could give it to me after embroidering." ”
"I'm walking around the yard today, and I accidentally lost the piece I usually use." "What you told me last time, do you still count?"
Gu Lan, who was sorting things out, suddenly moved, and she met Baoshan's gaze, and her body was motionless.
After a while, she said calmly: "Baoshan, since you like it, what you said last time will naturally be counted, and it will be completed when I finish embroidering." ”
Baoshan suddenly laughed happily: "Thank you, Sister Lan, I thought you forgot about it." "How is it possible, how can I forget what I said, it's just a handkerchief."
When Gu Lan said this, she inadvertently pinched the corner of her clothes, and continued later, "However, there have been a lot of things recently, and my heart is also messed up" "Wait for me to embroider when I am free." She was silent for a few seconds, then lowered her eyes and said slowly.
After Gu Lan finished speaking, she stopped what she was doing, looked at the sewing box, and then reached out and took out the unfinished semi-finished products one by one.
She was facing away from the door, and Qing Zhi and Bao Shan couldn't see the expression on her face, nor could they see the flash of ± ♀ in her eyes.
As for the two at the door, they each had their own plans, especially Baoshan, who first glanced at Gu Lan with strange eyes, and when she turned her head, her face was solemn and her eyes were deep.
The cup was empty, she lowered her head to refill some tea for herself, drank it slowly, and took small sips.
Qing Zhi seemed to be very satisfied with the state of the two of them, and there was also a smile on her face when she saw the scene just now. "I am the steward of the garden. But we get along like sisters. “
Qing Zhi saw that something was wrong between these two people, although she didn't know the origin. But it seems that after a night of fire in the flower garden, the two of them often pointed to the wheat mang, and each time they broke up unhappily.
As the only spectator in the house, Qingzhi was also embarrassed to watch.
Today is rare, Baoshan actually took the initiative to show goodwill, but Gu Lan also pushed the boat to pick up, this is a good phenomenon! "There's Xiaoling's sensible girl in front. It's a pity that Lin Dedian took a fancy to it and picked it away. "Now, Gu Lan and Bao Shan. The two of you are my future support. “
Qing Zhi's gaze turned to the two of them to see their reactions. "Except for a few girls, the flower garden is all from the old men."
Qing Zhi showed a slightly embarrassed expression and said, "If you want to discuss things, I have to discuss with you if you have an idea." "It's just about getting along." Don't forget to talk about it. Whatever you say, it's for everyone's good. “
Qing Zhi walked back and forth in the room a few times, stopping at the table, "The people who do things under our Penglai Pavilion are different from other places, and how many pairs of eyes in the palace are watching." "There are those who are good friends with us, but there are also those who fall into the well," Qingzhi sneered, "I can't see the flower garden!" "If the people in it are not united. Can you still expect Your Majesty to take a look at us? “
Qing Zhi sighed and said, "Speaking of which, I really like Xiaoling's girl." Fortunately, she was in danger this time, and she would be blessed to be on an errand in the Lin De Hall in the future. ”
"The emperor looks at her differently, and the people who stay under him are not having a hard time."
Baoshan and Gu Lan raised their heads and looked at her, nodding slightly, they could be regarded as listening to the teachings of the steward!
When they turned their heads, the eyes of the two men met again, and neither could see any emotion from the calm faces of the other party.
"Baoshan," Qingzhi called out to her, "I asked you to rest before, Gu Lan and I went to the flower garden to do things, and now that I'm back, I still have some things to ask you to go." ”
"Sister steward, say it, I'll go right away." Bosun straightened up all of a sudden, and immediately replied.
Qingzhi smiled helplessly, walked up to Baoshan, stretched out her hand and patted her on the shoulder, and said, "I've said it a few times, why can't I change it, remove the word steward, and call my sister okay." ”
Baoshan lowered his head embarrassedly: "I see." "Master Yuan stayed in the flower garden with the people in the repair office, and you can help me go to the kitchen to get some food and send it over later." "In the morning, I took care of the kitchen master before I went out, and I helped steam some snacks, and you can take a trip." "Sister, I'll go right away." Bao Shan happily agreed, and glanced at Gu Lan before going out.
Gu Lan met her gaze and smiled very calmly.
Baoshan closed the door and walked all the way to the kitchen.
She was very fast, and after a short time, she went to the kitchen master and picked up snacks and put them in the basket.
Bao Shan walked to the boundary of the flower garden, but did not meet a person by the bridge.
In the past few days, Penglai Pavilion has been extremely deserted, and I heard that His Majesty has passed on the decree and no one outside is allowed to disturb the national teacher to recuperate.
Even the matter of the palace banquet, I am afraid that this time I have to take care of it to the emperor of the Lin De Palace!
Bao Shan had a heart, and his expression was the same as when he talked to Qingzhi Gulan in the house just now.
Since she arrived at the Penglai Pavilion Flower Garden, this time her mood was completely disturbed.
Even when there was a fire last time, her mood was not so complicated, she had already seen the other party's confusion, but she didn't understand the intention of the person behind it.
After an interrogation in the imperial study, she revealed very little information, and after talking to Qingzhi deeply, her mood was very different from when she was in the training ground.
Bao Shan is vigilant in his heart, it seems that he should pay more attention to that person, and act carefully to prevent trouble, if necessary, he might as well reveal something to Qingzhi, after all, she is the manager here!
Bao Shan walked to the forest on the outskirts of the flower garden and tried to adjust the situation to make himself look as natural as possible
The location of the flower garden is the most lively place in Penglai Pavilion at the moment!
Not only are there craftsmen and craftsmen who are busy there, but there are also those masters who specialize in drawing drawings in the construction department to check the drawings that are drafted.
These people gathered in the flower garden, which made the courtyard after the fire more lively than before.
Before Bao Shan even walked nearby, he heard the sound of talking from the small courtyard.
Master craftsmen of the construction office. There are some differences from other places in the palace, and these masters are used to speaking loudly.
Baoshan's footsteps stopped at the door before he grasped the basket in his hand. Slowly walked in
A group of people were busy with their own work, but they were sitting under the tree, and Master Yuan, who was facing the courtyard gate with his back, was the first to notice the movement outside.
He turned around and saw Baoshan coming, his eyes lit up, and he stared at the basket in her hand, and his eyebrows overflowed with joy. "Specially sent food, Baoshan girl!"
Master Yuan said with a smile. "I'm afraid the craftsmen are a little hungry when they wait, I thought that after the Qingzhi steward went back just now, he forgot about us." "Uncle. How so. Bao Shan stepped forward with a smile, put the basket in his hand on the stool, and then beckoned the busy craftsmen to stop and eat snacks. Drink some tea.
She waited for the craftsmen to wash their hands with the water from the well. After eating snacks, he deliberately walked up to Master Yuan and looked at him and asked, "Uncle, what are the stewards and Sister Lan busy with here in the morning?" "I helped take stock last night, but it was too late, and the housekeeper's sister specially let me rest for half a day." "I feel so bored in the small courtyard." "I've never seen anything like this," Master Yuan said with a hearty smile, "It's that Xiaoling girl was really similar to you before, and she couldn't be idle." I always like to find something to do, and once tried to help me do carpentry work. She's interested in everything. “
Bao Shan smiled bitterly: "The boundary of the main building of Penglai Pavilion is not used to living. ”
"It's the place of the National Teacher, and I always feel that it's far away from us, and it's deserted, and the sound of people walking outside the building is almost inaudible."
"I'm staying there, awkward, not like we here, it's lively, I'd rather do something."
"It's all heavy work here, you little girl, you can't help." Master Yuan said kindly.
"It's called Baoshan, right?" One of the oldest craftsmen in the construction department, looking forty miles away, stepped forward and smiled at Baoshan, "The work of these two days has been dirty and tiring. "Steward Qingzhi took the girl to confirm the drawings in the morning, and then they sorted out the items in the warehouse on the east side, and they were almost done."
"If you really want to help, remember to remind the steward and send us more food."
Bao Shan Ma Yu agreed: "No problem, I'll go back and talk to the Qingzhi steward, and prepare a few more dishes to send over in the evening for you to eat." ”
"After a hard day, eat a meal at the end of the day and leave!"
"Listen, Baoshan girl's posture is very similar to the restaurant shopkeeper in the national capital!"
There was a burst of laughter in the small courtyard, and Baoshan was stunned, and his face suddenly turned red.
Master Yuan saw that she was uncomfortable, and glared at the smiling craftsmen and masters: "Little girl is thin-skinned, don't nag you people." ”
The craftsmen scattered in all directions, some looked for some to sit and rest under the tree, and some went to the well to fetch water, Baoshan walked around, walked to Master Yuan again and asked, "Uncle, did the people from the patrol come to us again?" ”
She paused, lowered her voice and said softly, "Didn't you find out who set the fire?" ”
Master Yuan looked at her intently, and responded in a low voice: "The things in the palace can be big or small, if we really find out something, we won't be the first to know here." ”
"When we know, most of the people outside will know."
"Baoshan girl, don't ask more about some things, uncle is okay here, it's not possible to ask others, if you are curious, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble."
Master Yuan kindly comforted.
Bao Shan thought about Master Yuan's words and nodded, she knew that the other party was kind enough to remind her.
At this moment, a master craftsman came to retake the dim sum in his hand, approached and heard some of their conversations, leaned over and whispered: "I'm late today, Baoshan girl is asking about the patrol, right?" ”
"They don't have time to go to the flower garden today to investigate the case."
"I'm so busy that I can't touch the ground."
Bao Shan glanced at Master Yuan and said in surprise, "How do you know?" ”
"Hey, I didn't say it, I arrived late today, because there was a delay in the construction office, but I met the patrol several times on the way here."
"It's not the same group of people, I heard that all the people who are taking turns are here."
"Could it be that something happened?" This time, it was Master Yuan's turn to ask.
"Isn't the patrol helping to investigate the case? Is there a major event in the palace that has been tighter than the fire here? Or is there an eyebrow on the case that went back to the treasury? ”
As soon as Master Yuan said this, Baoshan also had the same question, there were too many coincidences between the two things, and they were all fires at night, inexplicable.
The craftsman in the repair office shook his head and said, "You all guessed wrong, it's not a case of investigation and fire at all, it's because there is one less person in the Lin De Palace!" ”
Suddenly, the eyes of Bao Shan and Master Yuan looking at the craftsman changed in unison.
"How so?"
Bao Shan knew the rules of the palace, and he also knew how strict the gate at the palace gate was, although the craftsman did not look like he was joking, but Bao Shan still maintained a skeptical attitude.
"How can there be few people in the palace for no reason, it's the emperor, are you sure?"
Master Yuan also couldn't hide his surprise and said, "Is there one less person in the Emperor's Linde Palace?" Could it be that you heard it wrong? ”
There is a reason why they say this, and in the recent period, He Yanzhi has changed quite a bit compared with before.
Especially the attitude towards the people under His Royal Highness Lin De, I heard that it is also better.
Since there is no abnormality, with the treatment of the emperor's subordinates, they have always been better than other palaces, how could they run away for no reason?
"Where can I go?" Baoshan looked at the craftsman and said, "Everyone knows that you can't get out of the palace gate, and if you catch it, you will have bad luck, and everything you do is in vain." ”
She looks at the problem from a different angle than Uncle Yuan, but the meaning is similar.
"That's right, the person is indeed from the Lin De Palace, I heard people in the patrol who are familiar with me, the news is very reliable, you are not allowed to spread it."
The craftsman looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to the conversation between the three of them for the time being, most of them were separated by a distance, eating and eating, chatting and chatting, before turning around and saying, "I told you in private to remind you to be a reminder." “
Bao Shan and Master Yuan glanced at each other, and both showed strange expressions. "This Lin De Hall has run away with someone, what does it have to do with our Penglai Pavilion Flower Garden?" "Where do you start with this reminder?" Surprised, Master Yuan asked first.
The master craftsman said with a stern expression: "You must know that it is none other than the one who used to be in your flower garden." ”
"Xiaoling!!" At this moment, Master Yuan and Baoshan were so shocked that they couldn't keep their mouths together!
It's okay to say that others ran away, but she is the person who the emperor He Yanzhi looks at differently, you must know that just the "domineering" taking people away on the night of the fire is to show an attitude.
After that, it can be said that she will definitely stay in the Lin De Palace, how could she run?!
"Are you serious? Didn't blame us? Master Yuan was still a little skeptical.
"Whoever has nothing to do to make such rumors come out, it's true, I'm sure the people from the patrol said so."
"Remind you, in case the emperor sends someone to inquire."
The craftsman said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the patrol team has long paid attention to the Penglai Pavilion flower garden, it's you who went out here!" (To be continued......)
