Chapter 198: Ears and Eyes
Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the Guanyin monk that Siyu promised to paint for the Queen Mother was almost completed.
In order to complete this picture of Guanyin, Siyu spent almost a thousand taels of gold.
She specially asked Shen Dagongzi to bring a large number of clams from Nanyang, and also bought some jadeite, red agate, and found good cinnabar from Hua Taiyi, these things were all crushed, and used as pigments with water and evenness.
Of course, all this is done in secret.
Originally, the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and so was Princess Gu's side. stepped up the preparation of gifts, hoping that in front of the Queen Mother, she could compare the gifts prepared by Siyu.
In order to win the favor of the Queen Mother.
Siyu had already calculated their tricks and didn't care at all.
On this day, Princess Gu unexpectedly sent a few personal maids to send some moon cakes to Siyu.
This made Miaoyu and Miaoli feel very surprised.
Originally, there was not much contact on weekdays, but suddenly it was so hot, and it had to make people suspicious.
Siyu seems to have already understood their intentions, and as early as two days ago, he drew a picture of Guanyin, but this Guanyin monk is different from the previous Guanyin University.
In the past, the Guanyin Master was standing, but this time the Guanyin Master was sitting on a lotus.
The two maids of Princess Gu, the empty cicada and the empty rain, after entering the door, looked around, and saw this sitting Guanyin monk from afar.
Miaoyu and Miaoli on the side saw that their eyes were different, looked around, and hurriedly stopped.
"What are you looking at?"
The empty cicada said a little uncomfortably: "Oh, it's nothing, I see that Siyu Niangniang's painting skills are exquisite, and the Guanyin she painted is really a must!" ”
After Siyu heard her praise from afar, her pretty face turned red and smiled.
"Thanks to your compliment, this Guanyin statue, but I promised the Queen Mother to paint it for her, and I was going to give her a gift in the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Empty cicada and empty rain, after hearing this, they wrote it down word by word, but their faces didn't show anything, and they were still very flattering: "Siyu Niangniang is really skillful, and the sound of this painting is vivid!" ”
"That's nature, my master is a master of calligraphy and painting, do you still need to say it?"
Miaoyu said proudly.
"This is the moon cake that my master gave to Siyu Niangniang, specially customized from the south, this is the snow skin moon paste filling, and I hope Siyu Niangniang will accept it!"
I saw this empty cicada, holding a plate of moon cakes, offering it with both hands, and Miaoyu and Miaoli on the side suddenly fell into a dilemma.
It hasn't been long since the matter of the poisoned diet passed, and now this Princess Gu has sent another plate of moon cakes, which makes Miaoyu and Miaoli dare to accept it?
Just when the two of them were hesitating, Siyu suddenly spoke: "You two catch it quickly, this matter is a piece of Crown Princess Gu's heart for me, bring it quickly!" ”
The two of them were stunned when they heard this, so they had to take this plate of moon cakes for the time being, and they thought that Siyu would pick one up and eat it.
Miaoyu and Miaoli were too late to stop it, and looked at Siyu in horror one by one.
But she had a light and breezy look, obviously her actions also alarmed the empty cicada, she didn't expect that Siyu would actually pick up the moon cake in front of her and eat it.
If it were her, she wouldn't have touched it.
Because the poison meal has just passed, and it has not been a few days.
But Siyu didn't care at all.
I heard Siyu say: "Go back and trouble you, tell your master, the moon cakes rewarded by the princess are delicious, I like it very much, thank you here first, and I will come to thank you in two days!" ”
The empty cicada hurriedly saluted, and said softly to Siyu: "Niangniang, you are too polite, I will definitely bring your words, then we will retire!" ”
"Wait a minute!"
Siyu suddenly stopped the two of them, and asked Miaoyu to take out fifty taels of silver from the drawer and reward them.
This can make them sincerely frightened, and hurriedly waved their hands, and even in this deep palace, the rewards of each palace are not something that can be asked for casually.
However, I heard Siyu say: "You don't have to be so polite, in fact, you and I are the same people, the same status, I am just luckier than you, I took my money, and I will not ask you to do anything for me, what else are you afraid of!" ”
Two people, you look at me, I look at you, and they still refuse to accept it.
This was also expected by Siyu, she smiled lazily: "You can rest assured, only a few of us know about the things here, what kind of person I am, you are not unclear!" ”
When it came to this, the two of them had to accept it hesitantly, and they naturally knew that Siyu was not the kind of person who chewed the root of his tongue.
As soon as the heavy silver was in his hands, he felt very pressed, and the joy in his heart had already overflowed his chest, and his face was unconsciously expressed.
The two of them hurriedly knelt on the ground and said with great emotion: "Don't worry, if there is a little unfavorable rumor in the future, the two of us will tell you in advance even if we risk death!" ”
They thought that Siyu would ask what the idea of Crown Princess Gu was next, but when they thought of Siyu, they just smiled slightly, nodded and said, "You guys go." ”
With that, the two men withdrew.
It wasn't until they walked far away that Miaoyu and Miaoli hurriedly persuaded on the side: "Niangniang, your handwriting is too big, how can you say that you can eat this moon cake?" ”
Siyu smiled coldly and said: "Princess Gu will definitely not do such a stupid thing, even if she really wants to poison me, she will never bring the two of her here, as for why I am so generous, this is also to plan for the future, although I said that I don't need them to do anything, but even if I don't say it, don't they understand in their hearts?" ”
Miaoyu and Miaoli listened to her words, although they didn't understand it a little, but they also felt that their master was really far-sighted and had learned to speculate on people's hearts.
Siyu was a little frightened when she saw the two of them, and even the eyes that looked at her were full of strangeness.
She couldn't help but sigh and said: "There is no way, since my mother died, I have understood one thing, in this world, don't think too well of people, don't think of heart for heart, that's simply impossible!" ”
Miaoyu and Miaoli listened to her words, and felt more and more that she was different from the Siyu they knew before.
In the past, Siyu, who was well-behaved and cute, and had no defense against anyone, Siyu, who would only be obedient when hurt, and Siyu, who would only think about people for good, seemed to be buried in the soil with the death of Chen's mother.
……
After the empty cicada and the empty rain left the Cuiwei Palace, they were very happy in their hearts, and the look on their faces could not be controlled for a long time, so they hurriedly found a secluded place, and took out the silver ingots of fifty taels and one ingots tremblingly, and carefully identified them.
The two of them bit the silver ingot with their teeth, and the bite marks were clearly visible.
Apparently true, and in very good condition.
This made both of them very happy.
Kong Cicada looked proud, and said excitedly to Kong Yu: "Hey, it's right to follow me to Cuiwei Palace, right?" ”
Kong Yu also nodded excitedly, with a grateful look on his face.
"People Siyu Niangniang's handwriting is big, I have heard people say, all the palace people who enter and leave Cuiwei Shop, eunuchs, not to mention, there is also a reward of fifteen taels of silver, give her an errand, and the reward will be doubled!"
"Really?"
Kong Yu opened her mouth widely, looked surprised, and asked, "The usual amount of silver for concubines is only one hundred taels a month at most, where did she get so much silver?" ”
"I don't know, but they used to be Oiran, so they must have had a lot of surplus!"
Kong Cicada roughly guessed, but after thinking about it again, it was not right to think about it, and said to Kong Yu with a puzzled face: "But there are so many palace maids and eunuchs who go in and out of her every day, if they are so rewarded, where can they be rewarded?" ”
How can the two of them know, just thinking about the Tianxiang Building under the rain, the water is tens of thousands every month.
Sometimes I ask Xiao to be the shopkeeper, Feng's mother takes her own calligraphy and paintings out to sell, and when people hear that it is Oiran and Siyu's masterpiece, they all compete for it.
Kong Yu and Kong Cicada reported the situation in Cuiwei Hall to Princess Gu one by one, and of course they kept it from the two of them for accepting Siyu's reward.
There were also Concubine Guo and Concubine Su in the house, and they scrambled to ask, "That bitch, how did you react when you sent the moon cakes?" ”
"Returning to the two mothers, Siyu Niangniang picked up the moon cake and ate it, not caring at all, it seems that she has forgotten the past!"
When Concubine Su heard this, she couldn't believe it, and she asked with a surprised face, "Did you see her eat?" ”
After receiving the empty cicada's affirmative reply, the three of them looked at each other.
Princess Gu also asked specifically, "What else does she say?" ”
"Back to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, Siyu Niangniang said, she said that she still wants, and what she sent is not enough......"
Concubine Guo couldn't help but scold when she heard this: "That bitch is really heartless, she almost poisoned him a few days ago, she actually forgot about it these days, it seems that she is really stupid!" ”
When Princess Gu heard her words, she sneered, glared at the concubine fiercely and said: "People are not stupid, the three of us are tied together, and we may not be other people's opponents, but you, your uncompetitive brother rashly made a move, be careful, the prince will settle accounts with you in the future!" ”
Concubine Guo immediately became frightened, her face was ashamed, and she said helplessly: "I didn't expect any of my cousin's tendons to twitch, how can I be blamed for this?" ”
"Leave your words to the Eastern Dynasty to say, don't look at Siyu and the prince ignoring you, it seems that this matter is over, sooner or later, I believe that bitch will settle accounts with you sooner or later, you still have to be careful of what you say, I heard that her handwriting has been very big recently, and the people in this palace are afraid that the **** of ten will be bought by her!"
When Crown Princess Gu said this, she was afraid that Her Royal Highness would order to search their bodies at this time.
Fortunately, Princess Gu didn't think about it so much, and she couldn't have thought that her personal maid was actually bought by Siyu with a lot of money.
"Your Highness doesn't have to be so worried, that bitch is just bluffing, by the way, we ask you, what does the portrait of Guanyin she prepared look like?"
Concubine Su asked the empty cicada.
