Chapter 11: Into the Early Winter

Afterwards, Su Die and Master Weng were gathered, and Su Die was surprised when she saw Qin Shujiu's embarrassment, but she quickly guessed who all this came from, and even if she got up, she was going to go to the two people to settle accounts. Fortunately, Qin Shujiu stopped him in time, if it weren't for it, it would be a big deal.

Hurriedly pulling her back to sit down, Qin Shujiu persuaded: "It's not a big deal, why be so angry." ”

"Nothing serious?" Almost raising his voice and saying, Su Die said: "If you usually ask them to say a few words like that, it doesn't hurt them anyway, but they dare to move their hands now." If this goes down, who knows what the next time will be. The more he talked, the more he felt angry, Su Die said: "Since you want to find you who have no temperament, what's the use, it's better to come to me and make sure to have a good time with them." ”

As soon as the words of complaint came out, they directly made the two laugh, and covered their chuckles with their sleeves, Qin Shujiu said: "If you really have a good time with you, the overlord, I am afraid that not only the harem will know, but even the ministers of the previous dynasty will also know." As soon as Qin Shujiu's words were finished, Master Weng also continued: "Exactly, sister, you are a powerful person, no matter how arrogant Xu Cairen is, it is impossible to touch you." ”

The words of these two people made Su Die's face a little unbearable, and remembered that Liqing had said in private that she was a little more irritable if she wanted anything, and her face became more and more red. Moved a little uncomfortably, Su Die said angrily: "I'm complaining for you, that heartless bad girl is ridiculing me." ”

Su Die was annoyed, Qin Shujiu couldn't help but smile and said: "Yes, yes, yes, sister is not, I don't know the good people's hearts and don't accept my sister's kindness, but they really didn't do anything to me, they just walked together and accidentally bumped into it." ”

"I happened to bump into it, they were really lucky, how can there be so many concubines in this harem and who is not coincidental to catch up with you, in this case, who believes it." Coincidence is possible, but it is just a coincidence that Su Die didn't believe it in Qin Shujiu's matter, seeing that Su Die's part was not happy, it was not easy to let him dissipate his anger, Qin Shujiu just followed a few words indifferently, persuading him not to cause trouble is the most important thing.

After some persuasion, Su Die's impulse was finally suppressed, and Qin Shujiu, who suddenly remembered something, asked: "By the way, sister, you can't sit still and like to walk around in this harem, sister, do you know that the queen's Qingning Palace is walking to the west, and what kind of place is the westernmost side in the past." ”

"Where?"

Suddenly asked Qin Shujiu to ask like this, Su Die was a little confused, frowned slightly, and thought carefully, and responded after a while: "That, that place seems to be the Ting Palace." ”

"Yeting Palace?" It was the first time he heard about this place, Master Weng was obviously a little confused, and opened his mouth to ask, Su Die replied: "This is where Taicang and the Inner Servant Province are located." Master Weng nodded and replied, "It's actually there, and it's a good place to come." With a chuckle, Master Weng just finished his words but saw that Su Die's face was a little wrong, and immediately asked, "What's wrong with my sister." ”

"Oh, nothing, just ......"

"Just what?"

After thinking about it for a while, Su Die said, "It's just that I just heard you say that it's a good place, but I thought of an extremely terrifying place there. ”

"A terrible place?" Looking at it with some puzzlement, Master Weng asked, "There is also something terrible about the Yeting Palace?" Su Die responded: "Yes, it's the court prison." ”

The prison is the prison of the inner courtyard of the harem, and all the officials and daughters who have committed crimes or have been punished are all taken in there, and if the prison is a place where the living do not want to enter, then the prison is the place where everyone in the harem is frightened.

After all, whoever enters that place will not see the light of day again.

When Su Die said this, Master Weng felt a little scared, and his body trembled slightly and called it terrifying. Master Weng was terrified of this court prison, but Qin Shujiu was thinking about something else.

Lai Zhaoyi went in that direction, and the place she went to would be Yeting Prison?

After all, this Lai Zhaoyi is there, Qin Shujiu always feels that there is still some possibility.

In recent days, this day has become colder and colder, but it is also in response to the old saying of 'an autumn rain and a cool'. Obviously, the first few days were quite cool, but who knew that it rained a few times one after another, and the sky said that it would be cool. In the early morning, when the window was opened, a cold wind poured in along the door, freezing Nanzhi shivering.

Fang got up and saw Nanzhi standing at the window, Qin Shujiu asked, "Why are you there?" Nanzhi turned around and replied, "Sister Hui, there's nothing else to do, I just want it to get colder and colder this day, I'm afraid it's really going to be winter." Qin Shujiu said with a smile: "The days go by day by day, and it is inevitable that winter will come." He replied, and then walked to the window.

Seeing that Qin Shujiu was just wearing a single coat, Nan Zhi immediately went back to the back room and went to a shawl, draped it on Qin Shujiu and said, "Sister, you have to be careful of your body, don't catch a cold." Tightening the shawl on his body, Qin Shujiu smiled: "Don't worry, it's just that this cold is not enough to make me catch a cold, it's just ......"

Sticking out his hand and waving it lightly outside the window, as if he could catch something in the air, Qin Shujiu said: "It's just that if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it's getting colder and colder this day." Nanzhi replied: "Yes, the Winter Clothes and Clothing Bureau in this palace has also been rushing to make it recently, and those who want to come to the province in the next few days should send the winter clothes." As he was talking, some voices came from outside, listening to the sound coming from outside, Qin Shujiu smiled.

"But it's your mouth, and that's where it comes." After laughing, Nanzhi waited for him to change his clothes, and then left the dormitory and entered the palace. Hearing that voice, I thought that it should be the Ministry of Internal Service that sent items for the winter, such a thing should be a good thing, but when Qin Shujiu entered the outer hall, he saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

The two chamberlains who gave winter clothes were there, but the curtain of the little palace people in their own palace looked aggrieved, and even the tears dripped down. Looking at the aggrieved appearance of the curtain, Qin Shujiu felt strange, and said when he stepped forward.

"It's so good, what's wrong with the curtain?" After some inquiry, he faced the two chamberlains again, and then said lightly: "The two public security is good." ”

"See My Lady Baolin."

This is also a common hearsay, but the voices of these two chamberlains today sound a little wrong. Looking at the curtain with tears in confusion, and then at the waiter who looked obviously wrong, his eyes finally fell on the clothes served by the waiter's hand.

Today is the province of the inner chamberlain to distribute the autumn and winter clothes of the concubines, and these two chamberlains are on an errand to send the clothes they need, but the clothes sent here are a little wrong.

The newly-made garments were supposed to be dry and clean, warm and pleasant to wear, but the garments on the wooden tray were wet when they looked wet. A few sets were placed there, and traces of seeping water could still be seen on the wooden support, and the winter clothes sent by the Ministry of Internal Service were actually wet.

Qin Shujiu noticed this in advance, and his eyes couldn't help but darken, and then Nan Zhi also saw that something was wrong, and his face immediately changed, and then he stepped forward and said, "What's going on?" ”

asked Nanzhi suddenly, and the two attendants were also slightly flustered, holding the winter clothes, and the two attendants did not make a sound for a long time. is not very old, and he has just arrived in the palace on an errand, so he can't help but be afraid when he encounters such a thing. It's just that their panic can't offset the fact that the winter clothes sent by the house are all wet, and seeing that the two attendants just didn't say anything for a while, Nanzhi asked in a heavy voice again.

"I ask you, don't you hear? How did this good garment become like this, and you refused to return it? It's okay, if you don't want to, let's go to the inner province and talk to the chief eunuch. ”

Good winter clothes have become like this, no wonder Nanzhi will be angry, her words made the little attendants frightened, when even the trembling lowered his head, and replied.

"My Lady Baolin, this matter, I won't do anything about it." Almost kneeling down tremblingly, the two little chamberlains replied in a trembling voice. Looking at the two Qin Shujiu, he sighed helplessly, and then let the two of them get up before asking, "I know it won't be you who did it, get up first." After motioning for the two of them to get up, Qin Shujiu said again: "This winter coat is an errand under the Ministry of Internal Servants, could it be that this is the meaning of the Provincial Ministry of Internal Servants?" The two chamberlains were even more frightened by the inquiry, and hurriedly shook their heads and replied.

"Back to my aunt, this is not what the eunuch father-in-law meant, when we took the clothes out, the clothes were dry and intact. It's just, it's just ......"

"Just what ......"

"Just." After some hesitation, he finally said truthfully under Qin Shujiu's inquiry: "It's just that the two of us met Xu Cairen and Ni Baolin when we sent the winter clothes over, and the two little masters asked the whereabouts of the winter clothes, and then they ......."

The words behind him were silent, and he didn't dare to make a sound when his eyes couldn't stop wandering. They don't need to say it clearly, and when they arrived here, Qin Shujiu also knew who did it, but he didn't expect these two people to become more and more angry, but it made people a little unbearable.

After exhaling some sullen breath, Qin Shujiu asked, "But that Xu Cairen accidentally fell down?" The waiter replied: "It's not that talented person, but Ni Baolin accidentally fell into it, and it just so happened that we were on the edge of the puddle at that time, and this dress became like this." At that time, I was thinking about going back to the Inner Servant Province to change a few new clothes for Miao Baolin, but Ni Baolin said......"

The words paused again, and it was Qin Shujiu's inquiry that he replied again: "It's just that Ni Baolin said that today's winter clothes are in a hurry, I'm afraid there are not many new clothes for the unfavored concubine, and he also said that if the eunuch father-in-law knows about this, it will definitely break my legs, so ......."

It seems that these two little chamberlains were frightened by Ni Baolin's words, so they sent this soaked winter coat over. It had nothing to do with them, and there was no need to blame them for these things, so he accepted these wet winter coats and then sent him off.

After the two little servants retreated, the curtain couldn't be controlled, and said with a sense of grievance: "This talented person and Ni Baolin are getting more and more excessive, even if it was before, how can this winter coat be a joke, such clothes, how can Baolin wear it if the weather is colder." The curtain fell into Nanzhi and said: "I'm afraid that this is not only Ni Baolin, who is a talented person, but even the inner service province is also excessive." Curtain asked, "What does Sister Nanzhi mean by this?" ”

After thinking for a while, Nanzhi said: "If it weren't for the inner servants who lighted us, how could they send these two little inner servants who had just entered the palace and didn't know anything to send winter clothes to us?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that this casual little servant was sent, he would not have suffered such a grievance, and the more he thought about Nanzhi, the more he felt sorry for Qin Shujiu. However, this Qin Shujiu didn't feel a little bad, but said: "But if it weren't for this casual little waiter, how would we know who gave this gift?" ”

stepped forward and flicked the wet winter coat with his hand, Qin Shujiu said this with a smile. If it is an elderly person who is sent, I am afraid that this matter will have to be hidden from them, and it is like those who are casual and ask casually to explain everything, and even the words are said word for word.

Qin Shujiu said that it was right, and it was also another note for that Xu Cairen, but these winter clothes?

Looking at it, Nanzhi felt a headache, looked at the winter clothes Nanzhi and said: "It's raining outside these days, even if this clothes are stuffed outside, I'm afraid it won't dry, if you don't wash or dry, I'm afraid it will stink in a few days?" Could it be that you can go to the Inner Chamberlain Province and pick up a few more? ”

Listening to Nan Zhi's words, he pinched the corner of his clothes with his hand and then mentioned it, Qin Shujiu said: "The distribution of each palace is fixed, even if you go to be afraid that people will not give it, these clothes will be washed again, just set up a shelf in our house, the window in the east room and this door are open, and it will be dry in more time." ”

"It's blowing like this, the wind is cold, sister, can your body hold up?"

"Don't worry." smiled and replied: "My body is not as expensive as you think." ”
