Chapter 115: Hidden Merit and Fame
I said in my heart that people are polite to you, in fact, that Mo Yan
However, who made the family have a good reputation in the flower garden, and took the initiative to help Uncle Yuan do things, that is, every time he met me alone, he never had a good word in his mouth!
Thinking that today he took the initiative to stand up and help, and he didn't bother with this person for the time being.
The ink words in Qing Zhi's eyes were completely different from the impression he left on me.
I listened to her say a bunch of compliments, and although I didn't agree with it, I had to listen patiently.
After she finished speaking, I spoke, "Sister, what should I do with the contents of this box?" ”
This is the one thing I care about more than anything else, and besides, looking out through the window, the two of them are still waiting under the tree.
We've been in the storeroom for some time, and once we're out, we can't be empty-handed.
"You just said that you won't give it all, you are going to give it?"
I pondered what Qingzhi had said, but I was still not sure what she was thinking.
Qingzhi interrupted me and said, "Xiaoling, say that you are stupid, sometimes you are smarter than anyone else, but you can say that you are smart, but at this time you are stupid." “
Qing Zhi glanced at the heavy box on the table, blinked her eyes at me and said, "What did those two people say when they passed the word?!" “
I looked down and thought about it, repeating what I had just heard.
Qing Zhi continued: "Isn't this over, what they said is that His Majesty wants to find and see, how can we hand it all over to them at once." “
A smile flashed across her lips. "Your Majesty didn't say that you need to find them all."
Qing Zhi pursed her lips and smiled again: "Besides, if we take it out all at once, they will find it too easy to come to the flower garden to get things." ”
She paused in her tone: "This is a bad start, and it is hard to guarantee that there will be no unclear heads in the future." “
Qingzhi's heart is like a mirror. He said calmly: "With such a large Sealand Palace, there are not one or two places that are involved in our flower garden, and there will be people from other palaces who will ask for the flowers here every three or five times." "Caring for flowers and plants is the top priority of the flower garden, and our main job is not to find things for others." "That's what my sister said." I looked at her sideways and said abruptly. "That. Shall we give them half?! “
I pondered and muttered, it was a tentative inquiry, but Qingzhi didn't answer.
Without much thought, I lowered my head and began to count the number of booklets in the box.
Qingzhi's master placed it neatly, although there was no annotation mark, and the order was a little messy. However, because the time between them is not too far, it is well stored.
This is the advantage of a small place, in a place like the treasury, the empress is worried that the officials will be enriched, and there will be a rotation almost every few years.
This can be a constraint. But it also leads to the treasury, and the account itself is not so clear.
Moreover, the value of treasures in everyone's eyes is different, such as the treasury, you say that the famous ink treasures left over from the previous dynasty are very precious, and he says that the rare treasures paid by this dynasty are very valuable.
The difference in vision also led to the difference in the treatment of the treasury in the hands of successive officials.
On the side of the flower garden, after the previous steward left the palace, Qingzhi was the one who took over, and as long as there were no major forks. Qingzhi will stay until the next successor.
While I was sorting out the inventory, my mind was constantly thinking about the events of last night and the situation in front of me.
Thinking half of the booklet is going out. Even though I wasn't a flower gardener for a few days, I still felt as if my own property was being coveted by someone else when I thought about taking out these pamphlets.
It's really uncomfortable!
Qingzhi must have felt the same way as me, she walked over to me, bowed her head and brushed the box left by her master without speaking.
Her movements were gentle, but I watched from the sidelines. You can tell she's thinking.
Seeing that I kept counting the number of booklets, Qingzhi didn't step forward to stop me.
I counted them all. Counting the one I took out on the table and the one I was still nibbling on before the accident in the middle of the night.
Speaking of which, I worked on those two books. I don't want to be taken away.
Qingzhi compared it to me, and I hesitated with joy: "Sister is saying that you will remove half of the number again?!" ”
"Hmm." Qing Zhi didn't deny it, she reached out and counted out a stack from the large pile of books on the table, which visually looked like it was about a quarter.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and the depression dissipated a lot.
"That's all." Qing Zhi agreed, "I will let them pass the word, just say that before my master left the palace, the booklet was scattered, and she left more than one box." ”
"Even if someone else comes to check on them, even if His Majesty comes in person, the scale of the flower garden warehouse is also here."
Qingzhi then smiled again: "Plus the warehouse has been sorted out a few times, and a lot of things have been added, and I can't find it all for a while, I will ask Your Majesty to give us a few days, and we will definitely try our best to clean it up and strive for a good one." ”
"Okay, listen to my sister."
I suppressed the worry that came over me.
She and I both know that this is a way to stall for time, but neither I nor she agree that the irrelevant Qingsi Hall wants to take away our treasury here.
Even if I have to bear the relevant responsibilities, even Qingzhi can take on it as a steward, why should I not cooperate?!
Even if this is an act of deceiving the superiors!
Is there still a lack of such behavior in the palace?
A lot of the time, it's just a muddled account, and only the most relevant people know the inside story.
This has been true throughout the ages.
For example, the fire in the treasury last night burned in the middle of the night, and I knew that it was not so simple to think about it with my toes.
My mind wandered outside, and Qingzhi called out to me with a smile.
"Xiaoling," Qingzhi said as she stroked my hair closely, "distracted?!" I've been busy all night, so I'll go back and wash up later, and see how wolf you are. ”
"My sister seems to be much more neat than I am," I said, smiling, stroking her hair and removing a stained leaf. "Look what this is?!"
"As soon as I heard what the messenger said, I hurried back, and Master Zhang in the hospital was still clever."
I searched in my mind, and I couldn't remember which Master Zhang she was talking about, except for Uncle Yuan. No one else is familiar with it.
Although I don't know which one Qing Zhi is talking about, the master who picked up the two guards under the tree just now is really
I told me what had happened, and after listening quietly, Qing Zhi frowned and said, "This person is indeed talking too fast, I will give you the key, only the people in our flower garden know." ”
"I met such an unreasonable outsider to stir up the situation. You should find a way to delay, saying that everyone doesn't have the key, and they must find me. ”
"How can you still push you to the cusp?!"
Qing Zhi said with a straight face. "Fortunately, they didn't rob it just now, otherwise I would have told the National Teacher about the matter here. Ask him to help him come forward. ”
"Our flower garden is within the walls of Penglai Pavilion, but it belongs to his territory, his people."
My face darkened and I didn't answer.
My thoughts flashed to the fire of the treasury, and I frowned and looked at Qing Zhi and asked, "Sister, you are in a hurry to come back, have you ever heard that the adults from the treasury have come back in person to see Your Majesty?" ”
Qing Zhi turned her head to look at me and replied, "A few of them have left, and Your Majesty has gone to the Qingsi Palace." “
My heart fluttered slightly. "They went to the main building of Penglai Pavilion to see His Majesty. I didn't see it, and the national teacher asked the doorman to tell them that they were asked to go directly to His Majesty's study after two and a half hours. ”
I was stunned for a moment before I came back to my senses: "So say it." Does my sister know that Her Majesty went to the Qingsi Palace? ”
Qing Zhi smiled: "That's natural, although those two guards don't know how to lift, they must have been ordered by His Majesty, and they didn't dare to say anything if they dared to." ”
"So my sister taught them a lesson, but she also gave them the booklet?"
"That's right." Qing Zhi answered.
I looked at Qingzhi with a bit of admiration, it's not a rank at all, is it?!
Qing Zhi saw me bow her head and be distracted. answered: "Xiaoling, were you shocked by last night's fire?" There are still a few points."
"Sister's discernment." I smiled bitterly, "It's just the first time I've entered the palace." I've never seen a battle like this, it's scary to watch. ”
"You have to get used to it in the palace, anything can happen, stay for a long time, don't be surprised, and don't be surprised."
"Sister, do you have to catch fire many times a year?!" I looked at her in horror.
"That's not what it means," Qingzhi Yile came to touch my head again.
"I'm telling you, you don't have to worry about emergencies."
"Here in the flower garden, I will take care of everything."
"Out of the flower garden, you don't have many opportunities, if you really want to go out, see right and wrong, remember, if you can hide, you can hide, if you can avoid it, you can avoid it."
"That's what my sister said." I was convinced.
"Okay, then you take out this stack of books from the table and give them to the guards waiting outside."
I did as I said, and Qingzhi said behind me: "Xiaoling, what is the box you brought?!" ”
"Ahh I panicked and almost didn't drop the booklet in my hand to the ground.
I fixed my mind and said, "That was a sister I met at the training ground when I entered the palace, and she gave me something to eat. ”
Qing Zhi said with emotion when she heard this: "Only those who are not in one place can be sisters, in the palace, I have seen a lot of deceitful things, and many people are stepping on the top of their heads in the same period." “
There was a hint of resentment in her tone, and I didn't have time to think about it, although I was worried about whether she would open the box I had put aside, but I couldn't care about it right now.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I dispelled my worries, and Qingzhi came out after me.
I handed the booklet to the guards, and the two men thanked them and hurried away without a word.
"Master Yuan," the people in the small courtyard had already dispersed to do their own work, and Qing Zhi stopped Uncle Yuan under the tree and said, "When you are free later, I want to talk to you." "The small courtyard hasn't been rectified for a long time, and I see that people are floating in things, so let's discuss and replace one or two people."
"Or you can also look for it among the new palace maids."
"You see Xiaoling is very good, I'm very happy that she can come."
Uncle Yuan glanced at me standing behind Qingzhi, and was a little surprised by her sudden proposal, and then bowed his head and said respectfully, "What the steward said is true." ”
I stood there, watching the whole time, not saying a word. (To be continued)
