Chapter Twenty-Three: The Lucky List

When Gu Yunyao gave the order to go down, the personal palace E'e Songqin walked in with a roll of cherry pink satin in both hands.

"Master, Yujin has taken it."

Gu Yunyao nodded and motioned to Zhao An. Zhao An took the feather brocade, hugged it into his arms, turned his head to Gu Yunyao and said:

"The slave is brave and borrows the master's golden hairpin."

Gu Yunyao was surprised, but she didn't ask, she directly picked up her jade wrist, pinched the engraved gold water and moon hairpin between her temples with two fingers, and handed it to Zhao An.

Zhao An looked at the hairpin, pursed his lips tightly, and stabbed the sharp hairpin head into the brocade, picking out two holes in the smooth surface.

When Song Qin saw it, she screamed in shock, her expression full of regret and distress:

"Oops! Father-in-law Zhao, what are you doing here, all the good materials are ruined! ā€

"Songqin!"

Gu Yunyao interrupted Gong E sharply, put her index finger on her lips, and motioned for her to be silent.

Song Qin's eyes were red, and she didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Gu Yunyao and Zhao An smiled at each other, their eyes tacitly understanding.

Suddenly, her facial features furrowed, and her eyebrows seemed to have changed to another person.

Gu Yunyao rushed to the mahogany table in a few steps, raised her hand and knocked over the teacup, and hissed as if she was deliberately trying to let the entire palace people of Xiao Yexuan hear her anger:

"Songqin, you go with Gonggong Zhao to the celebrant and ask the palace how those slaves are on an errand! I dare to use such material for this palace, do you want to humiliate this palace?! ā€

Zhao Jie was sincerely frightened, knelt on the ground with Songqin, and comforted him bitterly:

"Master! Master, take your breath! The slave is going to the celebrant supervisor, don't worry, don't be angry! ā€

"Don't go yet"

Gu Yunyao's eyes widened angrily, and he flicked his sleeves angrily, and sent him and Songqin out.

In the afternoon, the spring is brilliant, and the air is faintly floating with the smell of moist earth, silently indicating that another spring has quietly arrived

Leng Qingtang was punished, and the current master of ceremonies was replaced by his father-in-law.

The office of the celebrant is located in an independent palace courtyard on the south side of the palace.

Dayi Imperial Palace, all kinds of matters closely related to the life of the palace, such as all kinds of ceremonies, officials of the former dynasty, rewards of harem concubines, promotions of palace people, punishments, etc., have detailed records. The place where the celebrant used to store such book files was called the "Pavilion Vault".

At noon, there were only the steward Liu Gonggong and a small eunuch in the front hall of the pavilion of the master of ceremonies.

At the moment, they were bored, and in response to the sentence of "spring sleepiness and autumn fatigue", the two of them bent down on the table and the other was on their backs, and they were napping beautifully, and they didn't even know that someone came in outside the door.

Zhao An took Songqin and two chamberlains and swept into the pavilion warehouse at a gallop. Zhao An picked up a whole roll of feather brocade from Song Qin's hand and smashed it on the table in front of Gonggong Liu.

Liu Gonggong slept soundly, and dreamed that he picked up a big gold ingot while walking.

The ingots shine with golden brilliance in the sun. He looked at it with pity, put the ingots on one side and bit it between the molars, and smiled from ear to ear.

It was cold, and the sky above his head became cloudy in an instant. Immediately afterwards, there was a terrifying thunder roar, which directly woke up Liu Gonggong from his dream.

When I opened my eyes, the two people in front of me were violent, one hung his hands and chest, his expression was indifferent, and the other was upside down, his hands were on his waist, and the male and female who were alive came to the door.

"Oops! Who should I be, isn't this Zhao Gonggong and Songqin Girl of Xiao Yexuan! What wind brought you two to the celebrant? ā€

Gonggong Liu smiled flatteringly, and when he got up to greet him, the little eunuch who was napping on the chair also woke up.

"Humph!" Zhao An crossed his arms, sneered, and glared at Gonggong Liu.

Yu Zhaoyi of Xiao Yexuan is now in full favor, and the emperor is constantly rewarding, and he moved things from the Shanggong Bureau to her palace in three days, and there are no less than 30 pieces of copywriting recorded by Gonggong Liu alone.

At noon, her father-in-law in charge of the palace actually ran over with a palace lady and two chamberlains, and it seemed that he had the intention of asking the teacher for guilt.

Gonggong Liu was at a loss for a while, so he had to bow his hand and said with a smile:

"Father-in-law Zhao, you have something to say! What are you? ā€

"Well said?"

Zhao An raised his head, so arrogant that he aimed his nostrils at Gonggong Liu, and said in a strange manner:

"Open your eyes to shake your nose and take a closer look, what good things have been made by the Shanggong Bureau!"

Zhao An was originally a fair-skinned man with handsome eyebrows and eyes, but now in order to make a gesture, he deliberately pretended to be bitter and mean, so that his face always looked a little hateful.

On the other side, Gonggong Liu's expression was frozen, and after he was stunned for a moment, he lowered his eyes and looked at the scroll of brocade on the table.

On the beautiful satin surface, the two small holes that were picked by the hairpin are extremely obvious.

"This ......"

Gonggong Liu looked shocked, distressed and frightened.

This brocade of lacquered gold feather thread is a rarity, and it took a hundred weavers of the Shanggong Bureau to refine the silk silk paid by foreign countries, and it took a year and a half to weave a total of two rolls.

This material is tailored and worn on the body, which is light and breathable. Standing in the light of varying intensity, the satin feathers are dark and veined, and they can also shine with different colors.

The emperor was in pain, and Yu Jin had to enjoy Yu Zhaoyi's pink roll, how could there be two more holes on this horse~ eyes?

No wonder the people of Xiao Yexuan were so angry. The Shanggong Bureau is really a subordinate agency of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and Liu Shanggong over there was just Ling Chi not long ago.

There is something wrong right now, and it is understandable that the people of Xiao Yexuan have come to find trouble with the celebrant and the celebrant.

"Oh, Father-in-law Zhao, what is this about...... How could such a rare feather brocade be broken......"

Gonggong Liu smiled hastily, stammering while recalling carefully in his mind.

At the beginning, the Shanggong Bureau sent Yu Jin to Xiaoyexuan, and he was not on duty when he recorded it in the cabinet library. Therefore, he was not sure whether this roll of feather brocade had been broken before it was sent.

"You ask our family? Tell our family to ask who?"

Zhao An's eyes squinted, and he asked arrogantly, and his sharp voice immediately raised his voice to an octave.

Gonggong Liu locked his eyes on the Yu Jin on the table, his expression was difficult, and he muttered to himself:

"This ...... It is said that the Shanggong Bureau should not be confused. This hole ~ eye, I'm afraid it's not a rat that has been swallowed......"

Before the words fell, Song Qin beside Zhao An did not relent, raised his hand and pointed in front of Gonggong Liu's eyes, and shouted angrily:

"Father-in-law Liu, the things were originally sent out through your pavilion library! Such a bad thing dares to send it to our lord's womb, I think you are the favor of the master of Zhaoyi, and you deliberately make the yin stumbling behind your back! Just now you said that you are wrong and it is not in the Shanggong Bureau, that is, when you set up the cabinet treasury, you did it by you! Let's go, take me to see you to seal the palm seal, let's theorize"

"Oops, oops! My Aunt Songqin, you must be cautious! ā€

Gonggong Liu was immediately frightened and his legs were weak, if he hadn't supported the table with both hands, he would have collapsed on the ground. This pair of male and female is really unprovoked!

Gonggong Liu moved to the front of the table in a few steps and reached out to pull Zhao An. Zhao An frowned, and dodged away in disgust.

Gonggong Liu felt embarrassed and said to him:

"Dare to ask Gonggong Zhao, when this feather brocade was sent to Xiaoyexuan, did it ever let people have a good inspection?"

"Hey! I said, "What do you mean?" ā€

Zhao An's sharp eyes rolled twice hard, and the light in his eyes implied the intention of killing, and he went straight to Gonggong Liu, forcing him to be full of panic and retreat again and again.

"Phew......"

Zhao An took advantage of the topic to play, chased after him arrogantly, and a mouthful of saliva quenched on the face of Liu Gonggong's thin turmeric, pointed at him and scolded:

"You're tired of being crooked, and you actually asked about our family! Long live the Lord sent a message to reward the master, naturally what the Shanggong Bureau sends, what will we take? When posting, your cabinet manager didn't carefully re-check, and now there is a problem with things, but you want to come to find us, don't you?! ā€

"I—I didn't mean that, I ......"

The more you explain, the more you mistaken

The deeper it will be, the more entangled it will be

Gonggong Liu was extremely aggrieved, waving his hands at the male and female in front of him, and there was always a kind of dumbness suffering from Coptis chinensis.

Zhao An felt that the heat was almost over, and if he continued to make trouble, he would not be able to keep others in the pavilion, so let's cut to the chase.

With his mind in mind, he shook his head with a frown, and said lazily:

"Okay, we won't talk nonsense with you at this time, you can talk about what to do! Our family has been out for a long time, and we have to go back to serve the master and repay the master's life! ā€

Song Qin raised her eyebrows and echoed:

"That's it, hurry up and give a happy word! We don't have time to delay here! ā€

"Hey, hey!"

Gonggong Liu was frightened, raised his arm, and kept wiping the sweat on his head with his cuffs.

After thinking about it, I finally had a solution. Gonggong Liu bowed and bowed again, and said with great piety:

"Father-in-law Zhao, what do you think of this? I'll have someone take you to the Shanggong Bureau, where there's a roll of feather brocade. You saw it in person, and the thing was really fine, so you changed it for Master Yu. The broken ones were left in the Shanggong Bureau, and the craftsmen could repair them by themselves. How is it? ā€

Zhao An nodded reluctantly, his attitude was still arrogant:

"In that case, our family will let Songqin go with you."

Gonggong Liu turned his head and instructed the little eunuch on the side:

"Xiaofeng, you accompany Miss Songqin to the Shanggong Bureau."

After Song Qin and Zhao An looked at each other, they raised their hands angrily and slapped the table, and said fiercely:

"Father-in-law Liu, you are always clean, and you want to send me away when you send a follower? Who doesn't know that the aunts and mothers-in-law of the Shanggong Bureau are all clever mouths! When the time comes, a few of us can't say that they can't get back to Yujin, you just want me to run back and forth, don't you? ā€

"Gotcha, gotcha! Count me out of luck! I'll go with you! ā€

Father-in-law Liu was dizzy by his two nonsense people, and waved his hand at them helplessly.

Zhao An sneered:

"That's the best, let's stay here and wait. It's not that our family is unwilling to be reasonable, but if the things explained by the master are not done well, and the master is not happy, the master will make the slave unhappy! Father-in-law Liu, you are also a slave, do you pay attention to what you say about our family? ā€

Gonggong Liu nodded with a wry smile and casually agreed:

"Yes, yes! You're right! Miss Songqin moves, let's go to the Shanggong Bureau. ā€

"Songqin, you have to look carefully!"

Zhao An pulled a chair and sat down, raising his eyes to stare at Song Qin.

Song Qin nodded clearly, smiled meaningfully and said:

"Father-in-law, don't worry! This time, the slave will definitely take some time to check it out. ā€

After speaking, she left with Gonggong Liu and the eunuch named "Xiaofeng".

Only Zhao An and two chamberlains were left in the cabinet library.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, so quiet that Zhao Anyuan's calm heart was also high, and then he became inexplicably nervous.

He instructed one of his chamberlains to keep the wind, while he and another slipped into the back of the cabinet where the copywriting was stored, shuttling between the rows of wooden shelves, looking carefully.

After a long time, they finally found their target on a wooden shelf on the west side, a copy of the roster containing the records of the tribute maids entering the palace and the song and dance repertoire of the Spring Banquet.

Zhao An was excited for a while, and held the two booklets tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that they would run away with long legs.

After taking a few deep breaths and looking at the front hall vigilantly, Zhao An began to look through the transcripts, carefully searching for the required content according to the date.

Zhao An is talented, has a super memory, and has a kind of ability to never forget.

If it weren't for the poverty of his family and the fact that he had many younger siblings, he would not have inherited his father's business early and relied on his unique work of tending with flowers and plants to make a living and support his family.

If he has the money to study and honor his ability to never forget, he will be able to gain a reputation and glorify his ancestors.

But in that case, I may not be able to meet her, Gu Yunyao, the woman who wants to spend the love of her life and work hard to protect!
