The Queen Mother sat on the carved soft couch, took the tea from the palace maid, and put it in front of Xu Buling. Listening to the inquiry, he frowned and thought for a moment:

Jia Yi ...... Father-in-law Jia has a righteous son, ten years ago when the saint ascended the throne into the palace, at first in the inner library as an errand, and then was accepted as a righteous son by Father-in-law Jia, the palace doesn't care about this, I don't know much. ”

Xu Buling picked up the teacup and nodded lightly, as long as the person is still in the palace, it is fine, but the eunuchs are also divided into grades, and the inner library is the private treasury of the Son of Heaven, and the importance is self-evident.

"Queen Mother, what is this Jia Yi's identity before entering the palace?"

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and recalled, accidentally sucked the tea into her mouth, and was so busy that she grabbed half a green tea leaf with her thin red lips and looked left and right.

Xu Buling took out the handkerchief from his arms, spread it out in the palm of his hand, and stretched it out.

The Queen Mother blinked, sipped the tea leaves and was a little embarrassed, took the handkerchief, twisted the tea leaves on her lips and put them in it, and handed it to the palace maid who came over:

"It seems that the Cui family went directly to the inner library to take up a post after saying hello, and now he is still responsible for taking care of the Lizheng Palace, it is estimated that the Cui family sent the person to protect the queen, and he can be accepted as a righteous son by Gonggong Jia, and he wants to come to martial arts well."

Xu Buling frowned slightly, the Cui family mentioned by the Queen Mother is the Youzhou Cui family in 'Xiao Lu Cui Wang Li', the queen's maiden family. However, the Cui family has always been conservative and modest, and they are also considered neutral in the court, and they have no interests entangled with the Xu family, so it is unlikely that they will be involved in this matter.

Thinking of this, Xu Buling didn't ask any more, and took a small gift box from the side, and after opening it, there were several boxes of incense powder inside:

"Last time, I received the Queen Mother's good wine, but I was really ashamed to lose my trust with the Queen Mother. Before coming over today, I went to Xianzhizhai to choose a few small objects, and the Queen Mother took a look at what she liked. ”

The Queen Mother was obviously surprised, put down the teacup, leaned over to take the box, picked it up and looked at it a few times:

"I don't want to have a heart, alas~ Xiao Ting's unassuming spirit, I have watched him grow up since I was a child, and I haven't seen him send anything, just thinking about taking it from the palace. On weekdays, I heard that Xianzhi Zhai had something new, and I had to let Qiao'e run errands......"

Xu Buling smiled and took the opportunity to answer: "If the Queen Mother likes it, I will go over in a few days to pick up some rouge gouache and send it to the Queen Mother." I don't know what the Queen Mother likes? ”

When the Queen Mother saw that Xu Buling wanted to enter the palace to accompany her, she was very happy. Closing the box, he naturally placed it on his thigh, raised his finger and pointed to the red lips:

"That's it."

“……”

Xu Buling's expression froze, how did he know what color this lip grease was, didn't he want his life!

I knew that I had brought Lao Xiao with me......

Qiao'e saw that Xu Buling wanted to speak and stopped, and said softly:

"The Queen Mother likes 'red orchid nectar', if the prince is not easy to choose, just pick the most expensive one to buy, the maid used to choose this way......"

"Ahem—"

The Queen Mother squinted slightly, obviously thinking that this was very tasteless, the woman's family picks rouge, where is there anything expensive to buy, then she will not become a rich man.

Xu Buling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and put down the teacup: "I know, I must bring it to the door another day." ”

The Queen Mother was originally going to ask the teacher for her guilt today, but she was coaxed happy at this time, and the depression and dissatisfaction of the past few days disappeared, and there was a sense of brightness between her eyebrows, but the hospitality was obviously not finished. Slightly embarrassed at this time:

"I didn't prepare today, and I received something from you, this elder in this palace is really incompetent." As he spoke, he picked up the painting box and handed it to Xu Buling: "I didn't prepare any gifts, I'll give you this painting, Xu Danqing's authentic handwritings, there are not many in the world." ”

Xu Buling was a little flattered. The ink treasure that painted the saint Xu Danqing, after he sealed the pen, has been fried at a sky-high price in the market, let alone buying, most people have never even seen a fake. It is estimated that no one dares to copy this picture of the Queen Mother's beauty, the emperor has to salute when he sees it, and the Queen Mother's appearance is obviously very fond of this painting, where does he dare to accept it.

"This ...... This is too precious, the Queen Mother should treasure it herself. ”

The Queen Mother chuckled and put the painting box in Xu Buling's hand:

"You said that the current palace is better than before, what is the palace still doing? Another day, call Xu Danqing to draw another one. Moreover, your poem is also valuable, after a hundred years and a thousand years, it is really impossible to say which is higher or lower, and this palace does not take advantage of you. ”

“……”

Xu Buling didn't want to accept it, and secretly brewed words.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the Queen Mother showed a little gloom between her eyebrows, and shook her head:

"Don't like it? Anyway, it seems that this palace is self-inflicted......"

Xu Buling wanted to go to check Jia Yi, and he would inevitably come to the palace in the future, so he didn't want the Queen Mother to be sad, so he smiled and took the painting box with both hands:

"The younger generation likes it, Empress Dowager Xie......"

-------

Under the same sky.

Pedestrians on the streets of Chang'an are shoulder to shoulder, and the large families who buy New Year's goods drive horse-drawn carriages through the market, and there are fewer people in the rivers and lakes in the past, after all, the rivers and lakes also have a home, and those who have been in the rivers and lakes all their lives are a minority.

Zhu Manzhi came out of the yamen, and walked listlessly to the street with a knife on his waist, and the clothes on his body were replaced by a brand-new wolf guard uniform, which was previously torn by Ning Qingye and could not be worn. It wasn't that it was damaged in the line of duty, the yamen naturally didn't recognize it, and he had to pay for the new clothes with his own money, and he had to be babbled by the chief for a few lavish words.

I wish Manzhi a lonely and lonely life, and the few belongings are earned by himself, and he must be distressed. And when she went to dig the grave yesterday, Xu Shizi said that she would take her to Xiliang, she couldn't sleep last night and thought about it, there was no banquet for free on the rivers and lakes, and she traveled all the way to Suzhou as a guest.

This is the same as a girl getting married, going over with a rich dowry, it is better than just bringing a body to be respected and the status is relatively high.

Zhu Manzhi didn't have much money saved, so he said that this silver should be earned and earned. She can only get a reward for a wolf guard, but the wolf guard of the Tianzi Battalion is too slow to replenish, and she will definitely not be able to find a teammate in a short time, and she can't solve a big case without fighting......

Heart, heart, mind.

Zhu Manzhi walked around the street several times, and for some reason came to an alley with a deserted house in front of him.

"How did you get here......

Zhu Manzhi was about to turn his head and leave, but suddenly his heart moved again.

She can't fight, someone can!

Zhu Manzhi pondered for a while, and suddenly felt that this idea was good. Ning Qingye is Xu Shizi's person, then everyone is in a group, and they will not compete with her for credit, this labor that doesn't need money, don't use it in vain!

Thinking of this, Zhu Manzhi suddenly rejoiced, trotted to the gate of the courtyard with his waist knife, raised his hand and knocked twice......
