Chapter 258: In the Clash of Words
Gu Qimei walked under the tree, holding the letterhead in her hand and suddenly stopped.
Looking up, a familiar figure happened to pass by.
She shouted on the spot: "Gu Lan! ”
The figure took a few steps, paused, and turned its head to look in her direction.
There was a hint of doubt in her eyes, and after a while, Gu Lan's sharp eyes saw the letter in Gu Qimei's hand, so she asked, "Are you going to deliver the letter?" ”
Gu Qimei approached her, her eyes turned on Gu Lan's face and said, "Gu Lan, are you going to the palace banquet to help?" ”
Gu Lan nodded and said, "Yes, the housekeeper of the flower garden has already gone, I stayed in the courtyard to do some chores, and I will follow after I am done." ”
"In the morning, someone from Guijun's side came to look for him, saying that there were not enough people today, and people from other places in the palace had also been transferred."
Gu Lan stopped, she had already recovered from the beginning of her love, and looked at Gu Qimei quietly.
There are a lot of things going on in the Sealand Palace today, and the manpower under Su Hyun is not enough to see, and it is also true that the palaces have mobilized people to help each other in the past.
She thinks that she is perfect in what she said, so she shouldn't have shown any flaws, right?
Gu Qimei's eyes flashed with a smile, and she clenched the letter in her hand and said, "The people in your flower garden are very familiar with Su Guijun?" ”
Gu Lan didn't expect Gu Qimei to ask this sentence at all, and she was stunned.
She thought fiercely about what she had just said, and then her eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "He is a noble monarch in the palace, we are the ones who do things underneath, how can there be anything unfamiliar." "That's what my sister said."
Gu Qimei smiled slightly: "I thought that in order to prepare for the palace banquet during this period of time in the palace, Su Guijun was close to your flower garden." So the names have been changed. "I have the impression that only his subordinates are able to tell people that."
Gu Lan's face changed, and she realized that something was wrong, and she reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Let my sister see the joke." Originally, I should have called Su Guijun, but when I said it casually just now, I didn't think about it carefully" "Okay, I'm just teasing you, look at you nervous." “
Gu Qimei pursed her lips and smiled, reached out to brush the grass on her sleeves, and said in a calm tone: "The housekeeper sister in the flower garden." Is it good for you? "It's good, Steward Qingzhi has always taken good care of me."
Hearing that Gu Qimei changed the topic, Gu Lan calmed down a lot. After thinking about it again, I felt that there would be no leakage in the topic this time. "I'm in the flower garden, I can't do a lot of things, and she and the Baoshan who came later than me do most of the things. I'm just doing her a little favor. "Sounds like that. Steward Qingzhi is good to you. ”
"That said, the flower garden is not the best place for you to stay." Gu Qimei smiled lightly, "I heard that the embroidery workshop in the palace is under the Shangyi Bureau, and they are recruiting people outside the palace during this time." "Yesterday I was in the imperial study, and a female official came to see His Majesty, just to say that this matter is going to be done, and the yamen of the national capital city is going to contribute again this time." "When we select the palace maid to come in. It was also the first time they were admitted to the school, and this time they chose the embroidery girl in the palace. They have to ask for a recommendation. “
Seeing that Gu Lan listened attentively, Gu Qimei said with a smile: "Choosing an embroidery girl is different from our selection of palace maids, appearance is secondary, the most important thing is the embroidery, you have to win in embroidery skills to enter the palace." ”
"Over there in the Shangyi Bureau, they have also just entered the palace, and the palace maid's monthly share is higher than that of the flower garden, which is about the same as the palace maid under Lin De's palace."
"Gu Lan, I know you are good at embroidery, do you want to change places and go to the Shangyi Bureau?"
Gu Qimei talked about it in detail, and finally got to the point.
She's here to find out? A trace of panic flashed in Gu Lan's eyes, and she looked at Gu Qimei and said, "Thank you, sister, I don't want to go there anymore." ”
"Hey, you forgot that we just arrived at the training camp," Gu Qimei said blankly, "I remember that you told us a few times in three days that the place you want to go to the most in the palace is there." ”
As Gu Qimei spoke, she looked at Gu Lan, her eyes stopped on her face and said, "Why did it not take long to go to the flower garden and change?" ”
"Isn't your family still having a business in the national capital?" Gu Qimei blinked her eyes and said, "You said earlier that you would find an opportunity to learn something new in the palace before entering the palace to be a palace maid." ”
"Sister, I haven't forgotten what you said!"
Gu Lan bowed his head and said: "But now the situation is very chaotic, I heard that the war in the Northland is about to resume." ”
"There are also a lot of things in the palace, isn't there a case of disappearance?"
When Gu Qimei heard this, her face turned cold and she didn't answer.
"I think it's okay to change places if it's smooth, I'm afraid of what happens" "Sister, the housekeeper of the flower garden is very good to me, I get along well with the people there, and I don't want to go to the Shangyi Bureau for the time being." "I think it's just a palace maid anyway, and it's almost the same everywhere." Gu Lan lowered her head to avoid Gu Qimei's gaze and said in a deep voice.
"Besides, the embroidery workshop under the Shangyi Bureau, there are also stewards pressing, I heard that those are all old people, and they have been in the palace for several years, I'm afraid that the time comes."
Gu Qimei glanced at Gu Lan with strange eyes: "Have you still inquired?" I'm familiar with it. ”
Gu Lan hurriedly turned her face away, and only after settling down did she re-look at Gu Qimei's gaze and said, "I have heard from people, and because I have thought about going, I am very careful." ”
"I see." Gu Qimei smiled indifferently. "You have your own ideas in your heart, and no one else can make decisions for you." "Although I want to help you, but you don't want to, just let me be troublesome."
Gu Qimei's voice was faint, and she couldn't hear joy or anger in her words.
Gu Lan's fingers trembled, and she hurriedly responded: "My sister is kind, I know, it's me"
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Gu Qimei's words: "Gu Lan, your embroidery skills are good, don't waste it, by the way, have you embroidered something new recently?" "I remember that you usually come out with some of them, and last time I saw your newly embroidered orchid handkerchief, which is really beautiful." Do you have a belt on you today? “
Gu Qimei looked at Gu Lan and asked.
Gu Lan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Sister, I'm going to the palace banquet today to help." I didn't care about it, I'll bring it to my sister next time, okay? “
Gu Qimei said unexpectedly: "It seems that you have been busy enough recently, and your mind is not on that anymore, okay, wait next time." “
Gu Qimei looked a little shy and said, "I'm doing well by His Majesty's side, maybe there will be a chance to be promoted this time." “
Gu Lan was stunned. A look of envy suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she looked at Gu Qimei and said, "Sister is really blessed, she is about to be promoted so soon." "That's why I mentioned it to you. If you want to go to the Shangyi Bureau, maybe I can help, and that's all it takes for a few days. "Thank you sister for your kindness, I'll just stay in the flower garden for the time being. Wait for the next chance. You may have to ask your sister for help. "You're welcome, the sisters who have lived together in the training ground, don't see you outside."
The two of them chatted under the tree for a while, asking each other about each other's situation, and most of them were Gu Qimei.
Seeing that the conversation was about to come to an end, Gu Qimei suddenly grabbed Gu Lan and asked, "You and the people in the flower garden are temporarily living in the courtyard of Penglai Pavilion, because of the fire repair, this period of time has been there. "It happened today. I met you on the road, and I wanted to ask. Has the National Teacher woken up since the last time he was in a coma? “
As Gu Qimei spoke, her eyes were fixed on Gu Lan's body, and the latter said slightly: "Sister, we live quite far away from the main building, and there is a wall in the middle. "I rarely see the attendants of the main building of Penglai Pavilion, let alone the national teacher." "I heard that the adult has not woken up, but the steward named Mo Yan has met a few times, and his face is very ugly, probably worried about the safety of the adult."
Gu Lan thought about it seriously before answering her. "Are you really that sick?!" Gu Qimei lowered her eyes and sighed, "I think today's palace banquet will definitely not be able to go, right?" "Then it doesn't need to be said," Gu Lan said in an affirmative tone, "I definitely can't go, I haven't heard that I haven't gotten up." “
Gu Qimei sighed twice in succession and said: "Your Majesty is about to go to the Northland, she is worried about this, worried about the body of the National Teacher, and wants me to carefully arrange the carriage that the National Teacher will ride." “
"His Majesty called me in yesterday, and he told me in detail about this matter, and he almost didn't have a royal pen to make a list for me."
Speaking of this, Gu Qimei smiled helplessly. "All the things you need to use on the top must be fully equipped, and Your Majesty is worried that on the way north, there will be a lack of everything, and I am worried that the national teacher will not be taken care of properly." "Your Majesty really has a heart," Gu Lan heard this, and glanced at Gu Qimei with a slight distraction, "Sister is also hard." "It's all errands at the bottom, it's not hard or not, it's all within the scope of duty." Gu Qimei said disapprerovingly. "Sister, then I won't delay you, I still have things to do, let's talk about it next time." "Okay." After Gu Qimei agreed, she watched Gu Lan turn her head from in front of her and go to a path in the palace.
That was the way to Su Guijun's residence, Gu Qimei stared at her figure that disappeared by the bushes, her eyes were subtle, and she smiled faintly
On the outskirts of Sealand, along the official road, there is a road leading directly into the mountains.
In the midst of the mountains, a pool of lake water is embedded in it like a pearl.
Sealand's former emperors were fascinated by this beautiful place, and built a high platform along the lake, along with a large number of buildings.
This is where the celebrations of Sealand are being held.
This year is not the first time, but the main task of this preparation has been changed to the Lin De Hall Emperor Guijun to take care of it alone.
Lin Dedian's car went all the way out of the palace gate, until here, it stopped, He Yanzhi walked by the lake for a while, looking at the lake quietly, his eyes were a little gentle.
He did not stay long by the lake, but the officials of the Yamen of the capital of Sealand who accompanied him waited for his car to leave, and then stayed to set up the facilities by the lake.
Looking across the lake, on the hill on the opposite bank, the handsome figure has been wandering in the forest.
He could see from afar the cars with the obvious yamen signs, and a large number of people who had stayed behind to set them up.
Turning his head to look at the person sent by Haiguo, Chen Yuqing said loudly: "How is the preparation by the riverside?" “
For a common purpose, they temporarily joined hands as partners, and there were many things to do, so after deliberation, the division of labor was arranged.
The preparations by the river were to be done by the people of the Sea Kingdom, they were all familiar with the water, and it was more appropriate to hand over the matter to them than the Martyrdom Jade Pavilion.
Making the best use of people has always been the criterion for the Martyrdom Jade Pavilion!
After getting along for a few days, Chen Yuqing found that the people in Haiguo were really good, and they spoke very kindly, probably because of their lord's orders, they gave people an impression of courtesy and humility anytime and anywhere.
Chen Yuqing is a strong person, but it is the other party's personality and attitude that grinds his temper, so he is very polite.
Both sides are very easy to talk to, and things go exceptionally smoothly.
Chen Yuqing stayed on the mountain to continue to observe the movements over there, and after the people of Haiguo finished talking to him, they hurriedly walked to the half-mountain road.
I received a message from the flying pigeon before, which was a message given by the people in the capital of Sealand after contacting the Lord, which was not ordinary.
When the people of the Sea Kingdom arrived at the half-mountain road, they met the people who had been waiting there for a long time.
The person who came was the shopkeeper of a store in the national capital, and it was also the response that Haiguo had buried here.
The shopkeeper stepped forward and said: "The lord has uploaded a message, after the palace banquet, he will take his junior sister to board the boat and go down the river to the north, and I want you to prepare in advance." ”
The people of Haiguo nodded and said, "The Lord told me before he came up, I wonder if the head of the sect has contacted you recently?" ”
"Oh, it's the Lord's master, isn't it? The old man hadn't seen us, a few days before he came, our people had found the old man in the city, and he was gone these days. ”
The people of Haiguo pondered for a moment and said, "The old man's kung fu is extremely high, so we don't have to worry." "It's the Lord, it's okay to go in and out of the Sealand Palace by yourself, but I don't know how the Lord's junior sister is doing." "Don't worry about this, the master's junior sister is the apprentice brought out by the old man, and there are no weak soldiers under the strong general." "You don't know the inside story," the people of Haiguo said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "I won't tell you that this person didn't learn kung fu under the old man with the master." "It didn't take too long to accept this closed little disciple." "That's how it is." A worried look appeared on the shopkeeper's face and said, "Hearing you say this, will the Lord be dragged down when the time comes?" "It's hard to say, our people are arranged in the city, and the lord will come to contact him as soon as he leaves the palace," the people from Haiguo said cautiously, "When the time comes, we will settle that person in advance." "It doesn't seem that the news I have heard is so," said the shopkeeper, in a hesitant tone, "what if, what if, the Lord, is to take her with him to the celebration?" “
The people of Haiguo were surprised: "I can get out of the palace, why bother again"
He rolled his eyes, and suddenly said, "Could it be that the one who is involved with the national teacher in the palace?" ”
"You just know!" The shopkeeper couldn't help but laugh and said, "Otherwise, how can the two sides join forces?" (To be continued......)
