117, Hou Lang

Maybe it was to support Concubine Xu Zhuang, or maybe he really missed Xu Xun, Xu Xun was left for four days when he entered the Qianqing Palace. Although it was a taboo, Yong'an Palace still had to send some of Xu Xun's daily necessities to the Qianqing Palace. - She just wore a suit of clothes to the Qianqing Palace, and there must be a few replacements, right?

Staying for a day or two is nothing, but Xu Xun's things have been sent to the Qianqing Palace, and the meaning of this is somewhat intriguing. This concubine can live with the emperor in the Qianqing Palace, but the great dignity, even a bit of arrogance, Yong'an Palace up and down is simply ice and fire, just a few days ago, I was scared, and now I feel that the emperor's favor is a bit excessive, they really can't bear it.

However, this also shows that the introspection period of Yong'an Palace is completely over, Wang Jin and Mama Sun resumed walking with each other on the same day, and the palace maids who were originally strictly confined in Yong'an Palace can also go out to find a good friend now. The atmosphere of Yong'an Palace naturally returned to its usual cheerfulness and tranquility.

As for the three concubines living in Yong'an Palace, when Xu Xun returned to Qianqing Palace to ask for peace, he saw that the were as charming as peach blossoms, and the lazy and satisfied demeanor at the corners of their eyes and eyebrows, they were all silent, and they went back to their own houses when they asked for peace.

Xu Xun didn't have the heart to meet them a while ago, but when he had the heart to chat with his 'sisters' a few more words today, the sisters didn't cooperate. Xu Xun was not forced to keep them - he had just recovered his favor, and it was inconvenient to go out to visit around, so as not to give people the impression of being frivolous, and after thinking about it, he invited Liu Zhien to come over and talk.

"I haven't asked you how you did on this errand in Nanjing." She said and laughed herself - at that time, she was so anxious to urge Liu Zhien on the road, and when he came back, he had forgotten about it to the clouds, which was fortunately Liu Zhien was her slave, if she was an ordinary colleague and subordinate, she didn't know how it was not a taste.

Of course, Liu Zhien didn't mean to complain about Xu Xun, he owed it, and said very respectfully, "The slave has tried her best to make this matter clear." ”

He told Xu Xun everything that happened on the way to Nanjing.

He set out from Beijing, received the sign used at the post station, changed horses all the way south, and entered Nanjing in time for the year before. directly lived in the palace of the new Nanjing town guard eunuch. At that time, it was the New Year, and Liu Zhien did not rush to make trouble, and first went to pay New Year's greetings to his godfather, that is, the famous eunuch Zheng He, but did not live in the Zheng family, and then visited the thousand households of the Nanjing Jinyi Guard.

Holding Concubine Zhuang's edict, and the emperor's private seal on it, the emperor's eagle dog like Jinyi Wei Yamen is of course fully cooperating. Just after the Lantern Festival, he gave all the actions of the relatives on both sides of the Xu family over the years and sent them to Liu Zhien.

"It's not too much." Liu Zhien told Xu Xun, "Relying on the identity of the mother, there are some blessings, but there are only a few families that force people to stand untenable." ”

Rao is like this, Xu Xun is still a little angry, but she is convinced of Liu Zhien's methods, so she does not attack, and only listens to him continue to speak.

The next thing is naturally very simple, because after Liu Zhien told Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu's wife, Xu Xun's meaning, and the actions of his relatives in Nanjing, the two old men were shocked and angry, and they had nothing to say about Xu Xun's approach. Liu Zhien used the excuse of taking the old man to Beijing to fulfill his filial piety, and brought Xu Xun's grandmother and uncle to Beijing, and there were no close relatives of Xu Xun among the remaining clansmen.

As for the relatives on the paternal side, they naturally do the same, Mr. Xu's own brothers have all been brought to Beijing to buy property and live - relying on the income of the Xu family's industry, they are raised with good food and drink, and they invite Mr. Private School to teach, and they must teach the pillars of the country who are knowledgeable and reasonable.

At the same time, he set up two compounds near Tangshan and Yuhuatai, and 'invited' several families who had vainly been Weifu in Suri to live in them, and used the clansmen's evidence to return the part of the family property to their owners. If you can't find the bitter master, you will hand it over to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple to take care of it, and make it clear that the bitter master will return it when he returns. The remaining property of these houses is their own, but they don't have much opportunity to enjoy it - Liu Zhien hired some well-known nurses, locked the door of the house, and there were guards for twelve hours, these relatives, if they don't go out, they are also provided with good food and drink every day, and if they want to go out, no matter where they go, they will be followed by the nursery. If there is any change, the Jinyi Guard Yamen and the 24 Yamen on the Nanjing side will know, and the news will spread to the capital, then the nursing home will be unlucky.

With Xu Xun's current power and status, she wants to put a few distant relatives under house arrest, who else can say anything? This matter is spread out, and it will only increase Xu Xun's good name. After this arrangement, how did the relatives of the Xu family not know Xu Xun's attitude? I don't dare to be powerful anymore -- if something happens in the future, I will have to go to the commanding embassy in Beijing. At this time, it is against the meaning of the mother, there is a brocade guard, will the mother not know?

The joints here are not complicated, Xu Xun can figure it out by herself, although she is not immersive, but she is also comfortable to listen to, and the haze a while ago seems to have dissipated a lot. Because he smiled and said to Liu Zhien, "You have done such a big thing for me, and you have done it so beautifully, and it is indeed hard to toss back and forth thousands of miles back." Say, how do you want me to reward you? ”

As he spoke, he also thought about it.

It is a natural truth to talk about merit and deeds, Xu Xun is not a stingy person, without Liu Zhien, she may not be able to turn this Yong'an Palace. For such a character, of course, it is necessary to reward it heavily.

It's just that if you want to raise Liu Zhien's grade, it will be too conspicuous, and it will be easy to provoke right and wrong. If you want to give him money, you can only reward some gold, too much, Liu Zhien can't take it out of the palace at all, and it's not easy to explain.

I have already explained to my parents, several grandmothers, and the families of the big palace maids, and the Xu family are all taking care of them. If Yoo Zhien has a family, he can act accordingly, but the problem is that Yoo Zhien's family is not in the capital yet, and this doesn't seem to work. Xu Xun thought for a moment and said, "It's better to let our family come forward and buy you a house in Beijing." In the future, when your vegetable household leaves the palace, you can also settle down in the capital, and there will be a result. ”

Liu Zhien smiled and knelt down very respectfully to kowtow to Xu Xun, but the exit was a prevarication, "Niangniang, the slave maid has not eaten yet." ”

"Huh?" Xu Xun was taken aback, "Why don't you even have it?" ”

It's just that the servants of this inferior miscellaneous servant can't find a match, Liu Zhien is in the eunuchs, at least he is a second- and third-tier character, and he is young, so he should be a golden bachelor. There are no vegetable households, it sounds a bit unbelievable, Xu Xun thought about it, and it could only be attributed to Liu Zhien's own high vision. "But the average character doesn't like it? - Alas, it's a pity, although there are useful palace people around me, they are indeed not outstanding in appearance. ”

"Not really." Liu Zhien glanced at the palace people standing beside him, and said busily, "If you want to eat in pairs, you can win the favor of your sisters, it is the blessing of the slave maid." -- It's just that those who are left behind in prison are not good at delaying other people's lives. ”

In fact, after the average palace maid leaves the palace, it is difficult to find someone with the same conditions, and most of them are for people to continue to go. Liu Zhien's words are a bit perfunctory. Xu Xun glanced at him, a little curious, and said with a smile, "That's your own thoughts, maybe people don't mind this, they want to follow you?" ”

Liu Zhien smiled silently, as if he didn't intend to take this conversation. Xu Xun was also a little embarrassed after he finished speaking: The marriage of the people below, he cares about it once or twice, and if he wants to get involved, it is also a bit chaotic.

"It's up to you, though." She herself gave the circle back. "Of course, this kind of thing is only haode if you want to, if you don't want to, I can't be a matchmaker for you. ――But how should I reward you? ”

Liu Zhien didn't want to reward him, "Serve by Niangniang's side and share Niangniang's worries, that's what you should do." ”

He looked left and right, Xu Xun understood, and waved everyone away, leaving only Grandma Sun and Grandma Zhao to serve left and right.

"It's just ......" Liu Zhien wanted to speak and stopped, making a statement.

"That's it." Xu Xun was a little impatient, "In front of me, there is no need to be so coy. ”

"It's just that if you look at the slave maid, Niangniang is not too easy now." Liu Zhien was not pretentious, so he said in a low voice, "Now that the chaos in the palace has appeared, no matter what people's hearts are, the trees want to be quiet and the wind will not stop, and the battles are only afraid of one after another, and there will be no peaceful days." Even if Niangniang doesn't want to get involved, she should know the general trend well, so that she can protect herself in the waves. ”

Xu Xun nodded straightly, she now had a little almost blind trust in Yoo Zhien. Even Mama Sun and Mama Zhao all looked approving.

"With Niangniang's current precious status, many things are already inconvenient to do. You are so eye-catching, and your every move is noticed by many people. Liu Zhien planned for Xu Xun, "It's better to subdue one or two inconspicuous concubines, who come and go between the palaces on weekdays, and can also listen to some news for the mother, so that the news of Yong'an Palace is always one step slower than others." ”

Relying on the palace maids and grandmothers, it is difficult to get news now, because the lower parts of each palace are separated, not to mention, and now the palaces are also very strict with the palace people. Xu Xundao, "I remember which grandmother also told me about this, at that time, we were talking about Zhao Zhaorong." ”

She smiled a little, remembered and asked Grandma Sun, "How have those three younger sisters lived in the past month and a half?" ”

Grandma Sun said with a smile, "If you want to ask for peace and go to class, you have a lot of scheming, you just learned the rules, isn't it honest like a quail in the palace?" ”

Mama Zhao also smiled, "However, after all, several nobles still have to attend classes together, the two beauties are okay, you also know that it has always been two people who are in a group, and they are all face-saving with everyone." is Zhao Zhaorong, who was very honest in the first month, and in the second half of the month, he often talked to Cao Baolin and Wu Jieyu in his spare time. ”

These two people are all begging for a living under Sun Guifei in Changning Palace. Xu Xun laughed when he heard this, "Why is Zhao Zhaorong still so frivolous." ”

Zhao Zhaorong's change in attitude, of course, is directly related to the emperor's complaints, for the sake of Sun Guifei, he ran to Concubine Xu Zhuang to complain about the queen, and even said the words 'where is she worthy to be the queen', which is more holy between Sun Guifei and the queen, do you still need to ask? Compared with the stormy Concubine Xu Zhuang, the prestige of the queen is of course more worthy of investment than the saintly concubine Sun Guifei. Zhao Zhaorong's thoughts, just like when Xu Xun first entered the palace, were so shallow that they could be seen at a glance.

But Xu Xun has taken up the words good and virtuous since she entered the palace, and she has never done anything with red and white, and what Zhao Zhaorong did was contrary to Xu Xun.

Liu Zhien observed the words, sighed secretly in his heart, and did not continue to speak: Qing'er and Zi'er have their own foundations, and they may not be used by Concubine Zhuang. And Zhao Zhaorong, his mind is indeed shallow, not to believe it, Niangniang's dislike of her is also known at a glance, how can such a person cooperate with her?

"The heart is like this, and I don't know how I was selected." Mama Zhao also sighed, "This batch of drafts is a bit hasty. In the past, it was necessary to observe for many months before I could select a show girl with all four corners of talent, appearance and morality, this batch of ......"

She shook her head, "It just depends on whether the female historians can teach them after they enter the palace." ”

"No wonder it's not liked by my eldest brother." Xu Xun said casually, "If these show girls don't change their temperament and want to be favored, it's difficult." ”

Indeed, someone who can't even hide Xu Xun can still hide it from the emperor? A group of people nodded yes, and Mama Zhao said, "Isn't this just the opportunity for the mother?" For a while, the mother should take care of herself and make up for it on time. ”

Xu Xun cried a little when he heard this, but he still compromised in the end, "Alas, if there is anything you want me to eat, take it all - it will be regarded as medicine." ”

Even Liu Zhien was amused by her expression, and after many days in Yong'an Palace, laughter finally came out again.

However, the reality slapped Xu Xun in the face again - as soon as he said that the rookie girl would not be favored, the emperor began to congratulate the new concubines on a large scale. In the next month, except for Xu Xun, who was able to keep about three nights' sleep, almost all the remaining nights were divided by Jiao Zhaoyi, Wu Jieyu, Cao Baolin and Zhao Zhaorong. The rest of the two concubines didn't even get a night.

I've never seen the newcomer laugh - this is simply the rhythm of the old man falling out of favor in all directions......

The author has something to say: I updated it early today, and the reason is that I am afraid of smoking it again in the evening.

The reason for Xiao Xun's slap is basically right, and I sadly didn't guess XD~
