Chapter 116: Deeper Than People's Hearts
I watched under the tree as the people of the small courtyard were summoned for the first time. |.
Most of the masters I see on weekdays are busy with their own things.
It's rare to see each of them standing here in their spare time.
I saw that these people formed an encirclement centered on Qingzhi, and this scene fell under my eyes, which was a little familiar.
After thinking about it for a moment, I decided to keep it as I was and just watch quietly.
No matter how much the turmoil is about to start continues, I am not worried about my own situation.
At least, not for the time being.
Qing Zhi glanced around the group of people and asked Uncle Yuan, "Are they all here?" ”
Uncle Yuan nodded.
Qingzhi frowned and said, "I haven't seen the flower garden so complete for a long time, there are indeed a lot of people." ”
She thought about it, looked at me and said, "Xiaoling is the latest to come in, and a few masters have accepted little apprentices a few days ago, and some of them were returned to their original places halfway." ”
"It's time for me to get things in order."
"You all know," Qing Zhi saw them gather around, and her eyes wandered to her, knowing that people were worried at the moment.
She paused, "Last night, there was a sudden fire in the treasury, which burned a part of the treasury, especially many rare books in it. ”
Qing Zhi sighed and said, "I don't know how His Majesty will punish them." ”
"He's not in charge of the treasury alone," Qing Zhi said in a slightly higher tone, "Once something happens." From the treasury officials to a guard, there is no escaping responsibility. It's just that it can be big or small. ”
"I have gathered you together today because I thought of us through this incident."
Qing Zhi's tone changed and said: "Whether it is the place under the jurisdiction of the Emperor of the Lin De Palace, or our small flower garden here, once you come in to do things, you will be a part of here." ”
"You know in your hearts the truth that every loss is a loss and a prosperous one. I don't need to say more, right? ”
Qing Zhi's gaze swept through the crowd, intentionally or unintentionally stopping on the face of one of them.
The man's heart was a little weak by her gaze, and his body shrank back.
I followed my gaze. I took in all the movements in front of me, but I didn't speak, and watched silently.
I knew very well in my heart that that man had touched the bottom line in the events of this morning. Qingzhi didn't dispose of him. I'll find someone to punish from the beginning.
Sure enough, Qing Zhi glanced at him lightly, turned her eyes to the front and said in a low voice: "This morning, the people from the Qingsi Hall came to us to pick up things, and they were disrespectful. ”
The atmosphere was instantly solemn.
The man looked at me in a panic and immediately shouted: "Miss Qingzhi, don't listen to this new little girl's nonsense, I didn't say anything." “
I looked at him speechlessly. If I said that I was a little unsure of Qingzhi's punishment before, I was disrupted by him at this moment. I had a gut feeling that he would not be able to keep this place in the flower garden.
Qing Zhi said sharply when she heard this: "When will it be your turn to shout!" ”
"The steward of this garden hasn't changed hands yet!!"
She looked at him sarcastically and said, "I've just gotten up, and you're in a hurry to get rid of it, what are you in a hurry to get rid of?!" "Do you think Xiaoling came to me to complain, and I want to rectify you?!" "Yes and no?!"
The man was dumbfounded, looking down at the instep of his feet and not speaking.
Qing Zhi glanced at him with disdain, and suddenly smiled: "You really guessed half right, I want to rectify you, but not only because of this morning's incident." "Think about it, the new apprentice you took in last month was found from the cultivation office, right?!"
I looked at Qingzhi with wide eyes, and I noticed that the person was also stunned. "You and I know where he was doing things before he built it."
Qing Zhi said calmly. "I wondered, how could the news be so fast?"
Qing Zhi took a step closer to him and said, "You think you can hide it from me, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, I found Master Yuan to pick his fault and sent him to the residence of the palace handyman." "You have a grudge against me, so you took this opportunity to make some trouble this morning." "I don't think it's easy for you to have a deep relationship between master and apprentice, so you can go over there and accompany him." "Your Majesty is generous, stay for a few years, and you can leave the palace, as long as you don't be picked on by others during the period!"
The man's face turned pale when he heard a sentence, and he finally collapsed when he heard the word handyman, I know that it is worse than the Huanyi Bureau, and he does the hardest, dirtiest and most tiring work in the palace. "Miss Qingzhi, Steward Qingzhi!" The man shouted, "It's the emperor of the Lin De Palace who wants us" "Master Yuan, ask someone to beat me hard, what are you waiting for with such nonsense and rumors to damage the reputation of the emperor?!" “
I stood in front of the storeroom in amazement and witnessed the whole process.
If you want to say that the palace maid who was sent to the Huanyi Bureau before, if I only heard about it, this scene today is a bloody witness.
The atmosphere was silent and oppressive, and I was still standing there, feeling a chill in my back
"From now on, take it as a warning." Qing Zhi said coldly, "Since you have come to the flower garden to do things, you must be careful to do your duty. ”
"In fact, in this palace, there is no place that is not like this."
"Stay in your place, do what you have to do, and no one will find fault with you."
"If you have a mind that you shouldn't have, I can pick out and tell you, I can see it clearly, don't want to fool the past."
Qingzhi grabbed my arm at the door of the warehouse and said, "Xiaoling, why don't you go in?" Isn't there a box that a sister gave you? ”
"Was it just scared and forgot to take it?!"
The people in the small courtyard have never been so quiet as they are now, and the person who has been taught has long since been sent to the miscellaneous office.
Even Master Yuan, who has always liked to laugh, lost his voice.
I woke up like a dream and looked at Qingzhi and said in a panic: "Sister." The first time I saw someone beaten, I was scared!"
"What are you afraid of?!"
"Sister Qingzhi," I avoided her gaze. He lowered his head and whispered, "Do you believe what he says?" That person just said that he was ordered by the emperor."
"Xiaoling," Qingzhi stopped me, I looked at her with my neck shrunk, and she said softly, "Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors, don't spread rumors." ”
The door to the storeroom opened again.
Qing Zhi looked at the key in my hand. The corners of his mouth moved, and he leaned over and said, "Xiaoling, don't worry, you can hold this key steadily." No one will say a word more. "In a few days, I will ask the national teacher to give you an identity in the flower garden, and I want to teach you everything my master has taught."
My heart moved. She was talking with a smile on her face. But listening to the tone, it was extremely sincere and serious, could it be that she really moved the idea of accepting apprentices?!
I know it's not the first time she's mentioned it to me, but I've been in the flower garden for such a short time, what makes her settle?!
It's not that I have to think about it, it's really because those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black.
I can't help but think deeply, thinking that I have no background and no noble help, why should I let Qingzhi treat me differently?
I had doubts in my mind. Immediately decided, and took what she said as another temptation.
Qing Zhi said eloquently: "Xiaoling." Teach you, I can have more than one right-hand man, and if you're lucky, you'll have a chance to take over my sister's errand! “
I was shocked and shook my head again and again, "I don't want it!" ”
"I just thought it would be fun in the palace," I snapped my fingers and said, "Don't hide it from my sister, I inquired clearly when I signed up for the selection in the Yamen of the national capital, how much money can I earn as an errand in the palace." ”
"I thought about it, stay in the palace for two years, and I will have more knowledge and money."
Qingzhi was amused by me, she looked at me helplessly and said: "Everyone else is trying to drill the camp, and they have to climb up when they seize the opportunity, look at you girl who doesn't grow up, just think about playing, just think about not taking responsibility!" "My sister knows me." I smiled and said, "It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, don't decide what your identity is, I must study hard to help you." "Every day I stay here, I'll do my best, don't dislike me for being stupid, that's fine." "After these two years safely, we are still friends when we go out of the palace, how good."
I took the box given by Xiao Si and went back to the hut where I lived.
I've been wondering what it would be, and at first I was worried that the scar-faced man was using the hand of the little four to give me a revenge and send me something to scare people.
But Xiao Si "said" that it is definitely not the masterpiece of the scar-faced man, it was given by him himself, so I am much more relieved.
But although Xiao Si and I get along well, after all, we are not a close person, that time I want to go to the Lin De Hall to send flowers, he is very abrupt to give me a jade pendant, this time it is even stranger, why did he send me something for no reason.
Do I know him well? Nope!
I felt puzzling and tangled, and after thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't figure it out, so I decided to put my thoughts aside, or just open it and take a look!
In short, it's a gift for me, don't look at how to do it!
The box has a sealed layer on it, and it's still quite difficult to open.
I searched around, and for a moment I found that I didn't have any tools to take advantage of, and finally found a pair of tools and scissors for tending to flowers and plants in a dusty bamboo basket in the corner of the room.
That's it! Yes!
Carefully picking off the top seal, I opened the lid of the box, how did it look so familiar, I picked up the suit in amazement, and recalled the identity of the dress that the female officer told us
picked up the clothes and compared them on the body, the size was almost the same, and at this stall, something fell out of it, and the bones rolled on the ground.
I was startled, looked down, and quickly leaned down to pick it up quickly.
I flipped it over and over in my hand for a few seconds, thought about it for a moment, and suddenly realized what it was.
I was shocked!
