The early morning sun shines through the gaps between the leaves in the courtyard. +

I woke up from my desk in a daze, saw that it was already dark outside, and immediately stood up.

Last night, I gnawed down a third of the most important booklet, and I still have more than half of it left.

After a brief wash, I looked at the messy booklet on the table and quickly reached for it.

When they were finished tidying up and regrouping into the large wooden box, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Uncle Yuan." I guessed that it was him, and as soon as he opened the door, sure enough!

I smiled and thanked him, and then took the steamed bun handed to me by Uncle Yuan.

"Xiaoling, why do you get up late every day, and you were reading the book left by the former steward last night?"

"Uncle, you guessed it right." I smiled and took a big bite of the steamed bun.

"Can you lend me a look, what kind of books are they?" The uncle's eyes swept around the room, but he didn't see a book outside, and his eyes were filled with doubts: "What about the books you read?!" ”

I turned my mind around and said with a smile: "Uncle, I'm afraid that you will say that I am lazy and deliberately find a reason!" ”

"I didn't read it last night, the book is in Sister Qingzhi's warehouse."

"Uncle, I can't hide it," I looked to both sides and lowered my voice, "Actually, I slept late because I wanted to do something, so I delayed this morning." ”

"Sister Qingzhi told me that there is going to be a banquet in the palace, and our flower garden has a part in the preparation."

"She asked me to help her figure it up, to come up with ideas."

"As you know, I've only been in the flower garden for a short time. I don't want to disappoint Sister Qingzhi, besides, it's for my own life to be better. She has to rely on her, so I thought about it for most of the night last night. ”

"Oh," Uncle Yuan agreed, the disappointed expression on his face flashed instantly, and he laughed heartily in the next second, "Have you come up with a good idea?" ”

"No," I said, shaking my head in frustration. "The more I think about this idea, the more I can't come out. My head is still not good enough after all. ”

After a few words of greeting, Uncle Yuan said: "Then you prepare, hurry up and go out to the flower garden to warm the house, I just saw that the Qingzhi steward has gone there." ”

"Thank you Uncle for reminding me." I watched his back. His gaze was fixed for a moment. Turn around and look back at the furnishings in the house.

His eyes moved from the window, to the table, to the corner of the room, and finally to the bottom of the bed, where some miscellaneous items were piled up.

I hesitated for a few seconds, but then walked over, opened the large wooden box, pulled out the booklet that I thought was the most important in it, and weighed it in my hand. I changed my mind.

Take out a few booklets from the wooden box and fold them separately and mark them. It feels like I've read several books, but I'm in a bit of a casual state, and I don't focus on any one of them.

After thinking about it, I took the booklet with me.

Before leaving the door, I glanced back at the furnishings in the room, and once again fixed my eyes on the pile of clutter.

I stepped forward and moved the location of a few things to make sure I remembered them, and then I went out leisurely.

It's too late both horizontally and vertically, and Qingzhi can't sell it well, so it doesn't matter

In the greenhouse of the flower garden, Qingzhi saw me angrily and said with a smile: "Look at this hair comb, this is just waking up." "Sister, congratulations on your right answer."

Qingzhi raised her hand and hit me on the shoulder, and said with disgust: "Little Nizi, there is no shape!" "Sister Xie's compliment!" "Hey, this mouth, I can't see that I can say witty things." "Sister, let me correct you, this is not a witty remark, this is hey, sister, don't beat me."

I know that there is a strict hierarchy in the palace, but now I feel Qingzhi's temper, she does not lack subordinates who are submissive to her, what she lacks is a companion who adjusts the atmosphere and gets along with her easily and happily, besides, I haven't delayed anything to do.

After laughing, I restrained my smile and said, "Sister Qingzhi, I know that the booklet left by your master has become a big hit here recently, and I think there will be others who will covet it next." "As you said, there is never a shortage of interested people in the palace who can attract His Majesty's attention." "Sister, I want to ask you, apart from the house where I live, where is the safest place to put these booklets?" "I've been here for a short time, and I really can't think of it." "Last night, I thought about it for most of the night, and I couldn't sleep well, for fear that I would lose it in my hand in my room, which would be a great sin."

Qingzhi frowned and thought: "Xiaoling, I also thought about what you said, but our flower garden is only these places in total, except for you and me, it is the house where those craftsmen and masters live." "In addition to the warehouse, the conservatory, the utility room, these places say that it is safe, no one will pay special attention to it, it is safe!" "But if it's really like you said, someone covets it, and someone who knows how to do some work to search for it, it's only a matter of half a day." "When you say a Tibetan character, it really embarrass me!"

Qing Zhi put down the flowers and plants in her hand and began to walk back and forth in the house, looking a little dazed.

I stopped to water the flowers and plants in the conservatory, and even though I didn't look at her all the time, I could feel her worry.

It's not that I deliberately want to throw out a question that makes her suspenseful, it's that since I've thought of this omission, there must be a way to deal with it.

Now she and I are actually people in the same boat.

I watered the few pots of flowers on the shelves, cleaned up the fallen leaves, and fixed my eyes on the two pots of Angelica dahurica, which were very well cared for.

Which one else could it be, that is, I took a trip to the Lin De Palace, and I personally sent it. "Sister," a thought suddenly surged into my heart, and I turned to stop the wandering Qingzhi and said, "This flower is growing so fast, and it looks like it's about to catch up with the pot I sent that time." "My sister has spent a lot of thought, and on the day of the disaster relief in the treasury, she still remembered to let Master Yuan and them come back to take care of it." "Hey, it's not because our national teacher needs it. Besides, there is that "Qing Zhi ignored it, I subconsciously felt that she was a little wrong with Lin Dedian, and this thought was not revealed in front of outsiders at all. But I feel something.

But then, I have some concerns about what I want to talk to her. "I don't know if he slept better in the residence of the National Teacher?" Qing Zhi muttered in a low voice, and my face turned white in an instant.

Taking a breath, I said in a relaxed tone: "Sister, you said this is a place to keep it" "Ah, Xiaoling." You reminded me! Qing Zhi suddenly patted her forehead and said, "I can discuss it with Mo Yan." "You know what I wanted to find out about the booklets, and I'm going to have to watch out for anyone. Only Mo Yan didn't need it on his side. "He is really dead set on the national teacher, or is he a person who was brought directly from outside the palace. Do you think there is a more suitable person to discuss than Mo Yan? "Xiaoling!" Qing Zhi came up with this good idea for herself, and instantly became happy. Seeing that I was distracted all of a sudden, he stepped forward and pushed me and said, "What do you say?!" "Ah, it's quite suitable, but sister, in this way, it wasn't before we found it, the national teacher would have known. It seems a little improper, too, though I can't tell what's wrong," I said hesitantly. "It's easy. The things discussed, and the place of storage, let Mo Yan say goodbye to the national teacher. "Then he wants to do it." "It's hard to say." Qing Zhi lowered her head and thought about it. "It's better than this, I won't tell him what it is, just say that if there is something in our flower garden that I don't want outsiders to know," Qingzhi said annoyedly, "No, at first glance, I thought it was something unseemly." “

I immediately said happily: "Sister also has such hesitation, let's think about it again." ”

"Dealing with people outside, I think I have some ability, you said you want me to hide the baby, I'm really Xiaoling, you help me think about it, rely on your head."

"Sister, you really lift me up, haven't I become your housekeeper?"

"The keys are all given to you, who says it's not, you can think carefully about this layer, and the problem will be left to you to solve."

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door outside the conservatory, Qing Zhi answered, turned her head and whispered to me: "Who is looking for me again, I'll take a look, could it be someone from Qingsi Hall who came to the door again." ”

"Sister, if you ask for it, you open a warehouse and give me the book after reading."

"Okay."

I lowered my head and thought about my thoughts, Qingzhi went and returned, and smiled bitterly at me: "It's not those people, but it's not much better." ”

She walked straight to the edge of the flower stand, stroked the two pots of flowers, and said, "I haven't cultivated it yet, so I have to lose one pot." ”

"What's going on?" I was puzzled.

Hearing her say that it was not someone from Qingsi Hall who came to ask for the booklet left by the previous master, I was also relieved, and when I saw her expression in a blink of an eye, it seemed that I couldn't relax. "The people from Lin De Hall came, saying that the pot of flowers you sent couldn't be sustained, and they wanted to change another pot." "Impossible, it's only been so long." I was surprised, "Didn't my sister confirm it when I sent it?" "If it weren't for the good flowers, why would my sister let me send them." "How dare we do that." "If you want to say that the flower is defeated, it won't be so fast!" "I know what you said, Xiaoling," Qingzhi nodded, "It's confirmed, it's indeed good, but now the people from the Lin De Hall have sent it, and it's just outside, and the leaves are all withered." "I'll take a look."

Without waiting for Qingzhi to answer, I quickly walked out of the conservatory, of course, I had to confirm it with my own eyes, when I sent it, it was indeed good!

In the sunlight outside the conservatory, the pot of flowers in the flower basket looked really pitiful, all of them had withered, and even the leaves looked scorched.

I couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and as soon as I touched the flower, another leaf fell off!

"Xiaoling," Qingzhi followed, squatting down and saying in a sad tone, "You see that it is withered like this, and it can't be saved." ”

Most of the people who focus on raising flowers are obsessed with flowers! In Qingzhi's eyes, of course, she is sadder than me.

After a while, she stood up and said, "Lin Dedian asked us to send another pot, you have to run again." (To be continued......)
