After thinking for a moment, he said: "Maybe Concubine Hui thinks that there is all the evidence and material evidence in this matter, even if she pleads, it is useless, and Concubine Xi is temporarily taking the harem on the order of the emperor, so she doesn't do it." ”

"Hongu always felt that things were not so simple." Saying this, the Guerjia clan pondered for a long time, and although he was suspicious, he still couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up.

On the other hand, after several twists and turns, Wen Rutian's matter reached Yinzhen's ears, and after knowing that Wen Rutian was frightened in vain, Yinzhen was quite pitiful, and the Liu family in the womb gave a pair of pearls and Ruyi to calm his nerves.

After this incident, the harem was really calm for a while, and July passed completely in this rare calm. In August, the golden cinnamon is fragrant in the year, when the harvest is abundant, for a time fresh fruits are transported from all over the country to the capital, pears, grapes, persimmons, oranges, etc., there are several big carts every day, and the soldiers guarding the city have increased nearly twice the manpower, just in order to test these fruits, after registration, they are sent to the palace or the palace in batches.

All kinds of fresh fruits are constantly sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and because of these things, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very busy, selecting, weighing, and registering, and picking out those that are rotten and crushed in the process of transportation, and then divided into one, two, and three, according to the masters of the palace to decide which kind of fruit to send.

Qian Moduo was sent to take charge of this matter, and he was so busy that he didn't even drink saliva in the morning, and his throat was about to smoke, and he had to tell this and that in a hoarse voice.

I finally took a breath, took the booklet and prepared to check it, but as soon as I turned the page, I saw that there was a problem, and called one of the busy and sweaty stewards and eunuchs: "Hey, what's the matter with you, why are the second-class oranges sent by the humble people, don't live, right?" ”

The eunuch in charge was startled, and quickly took the booklet and took a closer look, it was really like this, and hurriedly said: "Gonggong Qian is angry, it should be that he accidentally remembered a mistake, and the slave asked someone to change it." ”

Qian Moduo snorted coldly and said, "Be careful, if something goes wrong with your carelessness, our family will not protect you." ”

"Yes, Father-in-law Qian, don't worry, the slaves will definitely let them cheer up 120,000 points." Saying this, the steward said flatteringly: "Father-in-law Qian, you have been busy for so long and are tired, hurry up and rest, and the servant will make you Dongting Biluochun to relieve your fatigue." ”

When Qian Moduo heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, raised his eyes and said, "Yo, you still have that good thing, where did you come from?" ”

The steward rubbed his hands and said: "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, this is still rewarded by the previous Nian's family, and the slave has not been willing to drink, just to honor my father-in-law, and I hope that my father-in-law will not dislike it." ”

"Okay, okay, hurry up and brew it, if it goes on like this, our throat will be wasted." Qian Moduo urged the steward to go down, and was fanning his sleeve as a fan, when he suddenly saw someone coming from afar, squinted and looked carefully for a while, and finally recognized the person, and hurriedly greeted him and said in a hoarse voice: "The slave greets Wen Guiren, why did you come here?" ”

The person who came was Wen Rutian, and I saw her holding Caiyan's hand and said, "I came to thank Xie Lu and Xie Qian's father-in-law." ”

"Xie minions?" Qian Moduo was so confused by her that he forgot to get up, but Wen Rutian bent over to help him, and he stood up like a dream, but his eyes were still staring at Wen Rutian and waiting for her to explain.

Wen Rutian said with a smile on his face: "Didn't Father-in-law Qian send two palace people to me last time, he is very serious and careful in his work, especially Caiyan, who helped me a lot, so I have to come over today to thank Grandpa Qian." ”

"The nobleman is so polite." Qian Moduo was flattered and said: "That's what a slave should do, where do you dare to be a nobleman's thanks." ”

"Caiyan." Wen Rutian called softly, and Caiyan immediately took the brocade box from the hand of the palace maid behind her and handed it to Qian Moduo, "Father-in-law Qian, this is a little bit of your heart, please accept it." ”

"This ...... How embarrassing is that. Qian Moduo said as he took the brocade box handed by Caiyan, and his hand was fluttering, not like a thing of gold and silver, in front of Wen Rutian, he was not easy to open, so he could only speculate in his heart.

Wen Rutian seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "I heard that my father-in-law likes the calligraphy and painting of his predecessors, and it just so happens that I have a word of Zhu Zhishan there, although it cannot be compared with the 'Six-Body Book and Poetry Volume' and other fine works, but it is also a good word, so I took it to my father-in-law." ”

As soon as he heard that it was Zhu Zhishan's words, Qian Moduo was surprised and delighted, "I can't imagine that the nobleman still knows the preferences of the slaves, but the nobles give such a heavy gift, so how dare the slaves accept it." Having said that, the hand holding the brocade box did not hand it out for a long time, obviously this gift was both important and in line with his heart, so that he was reluctant to refuse.

"No matter how valuable things are, they must be appreciated, and I don't like these, staying here is just dust, it is better to give it to my father-in-law, and make the best use of it, unless my father-in-law looks down on this gift."

Seeing Wen Ru's displeasure, Qian Moduo hurriedly said: "What did the noble man say, since this is the case, the slave accepted it with a cheeky face." Then he gave the brocade box to a little eunuch, and took him to his house.

When I turned around, I saw Wen Rutian looking at the baskets of things, and said forgively: "Let the nobles smile, these days, fresh fruits have been harvested from all over the world, and they are being sent to the capital in a swarm, and the servants are leading people to count them." At that time, the steward made tea, and Qian Moduo took it and handed it to Wen Rutian, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, please drink tea." After that, he shouted to the steward, "Don't go and bring a chair to Wen Guiren." ”

"Huh!" The steward was quite surprised to see Qian Moduo at Wen Ru's polite and polite appearance, although this father-in-law Qian is the deputy manager, he has real power in his hands, even if he saw those ladies in the past, he was not so polite, but it was really strange. The steward didn't know that Wen Rutian had just invested money in Moduo and kindly gave him a calligraphy and painting worth a thousand gold, and Qian Moduo was very grateful now.

Wen Ruyan sat down in the shade, although it was autumn at that time, it was still quite hot at noon, and those little eunuchs who stood under the autumn sun to count things were already sweating, "So many things have to be counted one by one, Father-in-law Qian is really hard." ”

"Slaves should work harder." Qian Moduo replied with a smile, Wen Ruyan flicked his nails and said casually: "Concubine Hui likes to eat persimmons, you remember to pick some more good ones to send over." When he was about to retract his gaze, he suddenly saw the brocade box listed not far away, and said suddenly: "Hey, where did this fruit go, and how do you use it in the brocade box?" ”

Qian Moduo followed her gaze and chuckled: "The noble man misunderstood, it is not a fruit, it is a tribute of white ginseng and red ginseng, which is all wild." As he spoke, he asked the little eunuch to fetch it, and when he opened it, he saw that there was a branch of ginseng in each of the two brocade boxes, one white and one red, with very different colors.
