On the 22nd day of April in the southern calendar of Chu, it is auspicious to marry, go to office, make a bed, make a stove, break the ground, accept a collection, recruit a son-in-law, wear a well, plant, build a house, put on a beam, and sacrifice.

In the early morning, the sun shines on the glazed tiles of the large palace in the inner city and reflects the five-colored light, and the maid He'er tightly holds a pine-colored brocade package in her hand, and follows Jin Zangjiao to the Zhiting Palace, which is two miles away from the Yilan Palace.

Zhiting Palace and Concubine Shu's Yuxiu Palace, Song Zhaoyi's Hanzhu Palace are much simpler and cleaner than them. A blue brick exterior wall, tiger skin stone mat foundation, away from the emperor's Zichen Hall and Zhaoyang Palace is also a little remote.

Stepping into the vermilion threshold and entering the outer hall door, you will be greeted by a large shadow wall painted with flowers and birds on a white background. Going around the shadow wall is a turquoise grape trellis with many flowers and plants planted on both sides.

The palace order signaled Zangjiao and He'er to go around the grape trellis along the stone road on the left and enter the inner hall through the second gate, and the eyes were suddenly full of green, and it turned out that the inner hall of Zhiting Palace was densely planted with green bamboo.

There is a pond dug in the courtyard, and the water in the pool is clear. A few water lilies bloom on the surface of the water, and a few golden koi fish swim in the water. There are several rows of bluestone stairs in the green shade, and there are four houses in front of the head, which are the usual places of Fang Wanyi of Zhiting Palace. There are several partial atrial transepts in the future.

A slender red-clothed palace commander stood on the stairs expressionlessly, watching Zangjiao and He'er and others come in, he walked down the steps and bowed: "The slave is Lu Qi, the fourth deacon of Zhiting Palace, please Yu'an." "The voice is flat and waveless, and it is very stereotypical.

Zangjiao helped her up and said with a smile: "The deacon's wife doesn't have to be polite, there are many things that are not good when you first come, and I hope the deacon will take care of them more in the future." I don't know if Wanyi Niangniang has time, so she can ask Zangjiao to greet her. As he spoke, he quietly stuffed a purse into Lu Qi's hand.

Lu Qi's expression remained unchanged, and he spoke: "Nu Xie Jue is rewarded, and Niangniang has not yet gotten up." Knowing that the people of the court moved today, they had already ordered the slaves to wait here. Niangniang has always been quiet, teaching people to live freely without asking every day, if there is something to inform me and the chief supervisor.

Changfu is the deacon and eunuch of Zhiting Palace, and he went to run an errand with Niangniang in the morning, and returned to meet talented people. Rong Nu took the talented people to the residence to rest, and they were about to pass breakfast. This dynasty stipulates that all concubines above have their own kitchens, and if they like what taste, they just have to tell them to go down. ”

Zangjiao saw that her face was indifferent, and she didn't say much, so she had to smile and say: "In this case, wait for Wanyi to get up and come to see the concubine again." In this way, it is annoying to Deacon Luqi. Lu Qi didn't say much, slightly blessed, and stretched out her hand to ask Zangjiao to go to the door of the moon cave on the right side of the inner hall.

Passing through the moon cave gate is a small courtyard, and there is a cave in it. Under the eaves corridor, the bluestone paving strips are cleaned to keep the leaves clean, and the courtyard wall is densely covered with vines, mixed with crape myrtle flowers blooming vigorously. There are also three or five tall magnolia trees and a few white gardenia trees.

There are three rooms in one light and two dark, and a few small rooms on both sides. There is a plaque with ink characters hanging on the door of the main room, and the book - Biluo Yuan - three big characters. Several palace people and inner supervisors have already stood under the corridor to greet them.

A green-clothed palace order and a green-clothed chamberlain brought four blue-clothed palace attendants and white-clothed people to bow down and see: "Nu Zhiting Palace Biluo Yuan Shaogong Lingqin Ge, Nu Shao Eunuch Chang'an and others welcome the talented people, and I wish the talented people Yu Hui Gong'an." ”

Lu Qi pointed at them and replied to Zangjiao: "These are the slaves and maids selected by the Internal Service Bureau yesterday to serve the talents, the talents look good, if they are suitable, they will be retained, and if they feel that they are not suitable, they will be replaced." In the future, they served talented people to live here, and Qin Ge was a disciple of the slave, and he was still cautious and thoughtful. ”

Zangjiao heard her say this, and looked Qin Ge up and down. I saw that she was only two decades old, and her skin was white and tender. With a smile, two pear vortices appeared at the corners of his mouth, and he looked very docile and amiable. Nodding and smiling, he motioned for everyone to get up, and Lu Qi explained that Bi Luoyuan and the others needed to serve the talented people with their hearts, and then hurriedly retired.

Zangjiao stood in the courtyard and looked around, but felt that it was very small and chic, and the scenery was excellent. It is also pleasant to live for a long time in the future. When you enter the central hall, you will see that several tables and chairs are made of rosewood, with new paint, and they are spotless.

There is a pair of big red peony rich plum bottles in front of the big case, in which a few red and white peonies are tender and tender. On the white wall in front of the case, a large picture of the achievements of the old dynasty and the Huang family is hung, and the walls on both sides are inlaid with pastel plum orchids, chrysanthemums, bamboo, and four gentlemen's porcelain slatted screens.

On both sides of the main hall, there are halls and rooms, and five-colored bead curtains are hung. Qin Ge respectfully opened the bead curtain in front of him and led Zangjiao into the bedroom to watch, and saw an eight-treasure luodian inlaid foot carved tooth bed, the brocade quilt was stacked high, and the smoke pink four-cornered eight-treasure pendant bead light gauze tent was hung.

The bronze mirror of the dressing table in front of the window is bright, reflecting the red lacquer embossed lamp hanging chair. There are also screen partitions and soft couch pillows. Exquisite tables, tea sets, curtains, and curtains. Qin Ge said respectfully to Zangjiao: "All kinds of furniture and furnishings are according to the rules of talented people, if there is a discrepancy, the slave is good to exchange." ”

Zang Jiao nodded slightly: "This is already very good, there is no need to replace it." I think you have also worked hard, and I passed the people of Biluo Yuan to wait for the reward in the main hall, this is the maid He'er I brought into the palace, and it has been compiled into the green clothes Shang Palace. In the future, I hope that the Green Qi Palace will make more mentions. ”

"The talented man commanded, how dare you be contemptuous, and please serve the talented man to rest for a while, and the slave will go immediately." Su Qin and He'er exchanged salutes, took the tea set on the table and poured tea with Zangjiao, and then went out to order the people in Biluo Garden to wait.

Zangjiao sat on the chair, and saw that the tea cup was clean and hot, and she had prepared it early in the morning, and she was very careful. He'er was very happy: "Lady, this place is also pure and elegant." Although the palace advocates frugality, it is also more luxurious than the family, and the lady will be comfortable in the future. ”

"Well, I think it's very good, and it's a good thing if I can live here in peace all the time." He'er looked out of the curtain and pressed against Zangjiao's ear: "I just don't know if these people are available." and that Fang Wanyi is so strange, although she is the lord, the lady should also meet her when she first comes.

sent such a cold and dumb deacon Shang Gong to send the lady, this Suqin Palace Order is a disciple of her tutelage, but there is still a little kind and gentle, not at all like her master's style. ”

Zang Jiao also lowered her voice: "I saw Fang Wanyi in the distance on the shore of Fenghe Garden Lake that day, and I felt a little strange. And living in such a remote area, I think it's not favored. But I see that the flowers and trees here are flourishing and well-maintained, and it is not as cold as the courtyard.

That's it, she is the mother of the throne, I am just a little talent, how can there be a reason to dominate the guests. Come and pay her a visit when she wishes to see me. Na Suqin is not only a disciple of Lu Qi, but he also wants to be in the same breath with her.

If there is anything private, you can't say it to her. You should be cautious in the future. Wait until you go out, you have to give a reward at the same time, how much money do we have on us? ”

He'er hurriedly took the package and opened it and counted it: "Lady, when I came, the lord came with five hundred taels of silver, and now there are six fifty taels of silver tickets, and seven of ten taels of silver tickets. The rest of the journey cost some.

I put all kinds of broken silver coins in the purse made of embroidered apricots, one money, two dollars and five cents, and some treasures. Zangjiao pondered for a moment: "Take out two of the five taels of purse, put two taels of buns on the rest, and put five cents of silver on the rough sprinkler." ”

After He'er decorated up, Zangjiao got up and slowly walked out of the main hall dressed and sat on the official hat chair. Qin Ge and Chang'an have led everyone to wait for a long time, and they bowed down together.

Zangjiao smiled and motioned for them to get up: "The official family is promoted, and I will stay in this Biluo Garden." You are all old people in the palace, and the rules must be understood, so I won't say much. If there is anything, just follow the rules, you will know my temperament and temperament slowly, and if you don't understand, ask He'er the same.

As long as you act in peace, there will be peace in the garden. The main seat Fang Wanyi Niangniang heard that she likes to be quiet, so don't disturb her in everything. I don't know what you are in charge of, and it's easy to worry about Qin Ge Shanggong and me sharing it. ”
