77. The Guards
"What? I don't want any red envelopes today, so I'll put them away if I don't want them! Lin Mu'er saw that everyone's faces were still uncomfortable, so she made a gesture to take back the red envelope.
Hearing this, Meiyue was not polite, stepped forward coolly, knelt on the mat, kowtowed uprightly, looked up and said with a smile: "Meiyue gives the master a New Year's greeting, may the master be safe and happy!" "Anyway, raise your hands and palms upward, with a posture of yelling and begging for red envelopes!
Lin Mu'er nodded, and deliberately said in a tone: "It's still Meiyue who is the most pleasing!" The first red envelope of the year is for you! put a red envelope in Meiyue's hand, and continued: "This is yours, this is for Yang Lao's account, it's auspicious, don't shirk!" ”
Meiyue's heart warmed, according to reason, grandpa should kowtow to his master to receive a red envelope, but grandpa is not a slave of the palace, even if he is old, he is considered a foreign man in the end, how can he enter the inner courtyard to kowtow to the princess at will? Meiyue is also clever in the end, holding the red envelope, and kowtowing in a regular manner: "The master is rewarded, Meiyue doesn't dare to refuse, Meiyue kowtows to the master on behalf of the grandfather!" ”
"Okay, get up!" Lin Mu'er said with a smile. This girl is sensible and capable, but it is indispensable for Mr. Yang to mention it later. When I invited Meiyue to come over, I was more or less cautious, according to the temperament of Yang Lao's account room to protect the calf, he must be very concerned about his baby granddaughter's errand, with such a skilled old account room staring, how could there be a problem with this little account in the palace! Now it seems that as he thinks, in addition to Meiyue's ability, there is also a mention of Yang Lao's account room, and now, the palace really saves a lot of worry in terms of accounting!
Meiyue raised her head, Lan Xue and Hongxing also smiled and kowtowed to take the red envelope, and when Xie's mother was about to kneel, Lin Mu'er stretched out her hand to stop: "Mom, you don't have to kneel, just salute!" ”
This is the dignity given by the master, how can Mother Xie not understand, and it is also a smiling New Year's greeting at the moment. A few people held red envelopes and laughed with their eyebrows.
After sitting for a while, Meiyue got up and said goodbye: "Master, the people in the house are going to come over to kowtow to you today, I'll go and get busy first!" "Yesterday, I gave everyone a holiday to go back for a reunion, although there is no personal relationship in the Jin Palace, and the guests are invited, but on the first day of the new year, everyone still has to be in place, as usual.
Lin Mu'er nodded and said with a smile: "Go ahead!" ”
This Jin Wangfu, for the first time in so many years, there is a New Year's bounty, there is a New Year's red envelope, the stewards don't look down on such a small silver, but the girls in the house are very rare, they have never had any other way, only rely on the moon silver where to save how much money, now there is this entry, since the happy early in the morning to come and wait, to kowtow to the master.
There are hundreds of people in the house, and it is impossible for Lin Mu'er to sit in front of these girls, not to mention that there are some miscellaneous servants in the outer courtyard, and it is absolutely impossible for Lin Mu'er to show his head, but outside the conference hall, everyone bowed to Weiyueju, and it was regarded as kowtowing to the master and worshipping the New Year.
this
The trivial matter of kowtowing hair and red envelopes does not need to be arranged by Meiyue herself, but this girl is thoughtful and attentive to everything, and thinks that she has just taken over the general account of the palace, so she always has to keep an eye on it. Lin Mu'er didn't stop her, a girl who cares about her errand, it's too late for her to like it, how can she stop it?
"By the way, the emperor's Imperial Forest Army is still patrolling outside our palace, and I will also send them some red envelopes, so let's have an auspicious picture!" Lin Mu'er said to Lan Xue. Since the last time Lin Mu'er went to beg the emperor to send the Imperial Forest Army over, even if the guards in the palace came back, the emperor did not recall these Royal Forest Army, and I don't know if it was forgotten or other reasons. Lin Mu'er didn't ask more, she gave more rewards left and right, her safety was guaranteed, and the emperor was more at ease with herself.
Lan Xue put down the melon seeds in her hand, got up and said, "Yes, the slave will go!" ”
For a while, Mother Xie and Hongxing were left in the house, and the room was very quiet without the noise of Qingcheng beside them. Lin Muer was bored and peeled the melon seeds: This year is really boring! I wanted to practice reading and reading, but Xie's mother said that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, no matter how hard I want to work, I am not in a hurry at this time! I had to give up, and I was ready to eat and drink, and the day will be over!
After a while, Lan Xue hurried over against the snowflakes in the sky, and before she had time to bake the cold air all over her body, she walked up to Lin Mu'er and said with a little solemnity: "Master, something is not quite right!" ”
"Huh?" Lin Mu'er was carefully piling up melon seeds, and when she heard Lan Xue say this, she stopped her hand in some surprise: "What's wrong?" ”
Mother Xie and Hongxing also stopped what they were doing, and looked over, Lan Xue frowned and continued: "The red envelopes were all prepared yesterday according to the number of people, the first team of twelve people in the Royal Forest Army, and the two teams have a total of twenty-four people, and the food and rewards on weekdays are also prepared according to this number, and there is no way to make a mistake, but when I went to give out red envelopes today, there are still many Royal Forest Army who have not gotten them, I see, there are indeed several faces." ”
"Could it be a change of person?" After listening to this, Lin Mu'er didn't care too much, for the Chinese New Year, the Imperial Forest Army also had to change its guards, how could it always be fixed for your Jin Palace?
Lan Xue shook her head: "It's okay to change people, it's just that the Royal Forest Army team has always been a group of twelve, and the emperor allocated two groups for us, how can there be more people?" ”
Lin Mu'er thought about it, Lan Xue was right, so she said: "The left and right are here to defend our palace, and then go to the fulcrum of Meiyue to get some silver, it's good to give enough red envelopes, and you can't leave behind for the New Year!" ”
"Yes!" Lan Xue nodded, but she always felt that something was wrong in her heart, and she wanted to say something, but Lin Mu'er waved her hand: "I went to send a red envelope first, I can't rush it, I have to check it slowly, and you can call Quanshun later!" ”
"Yes!" Lan Xue nodded, and went out again.
Mother Xie looked nervous: "Master? This is the New Year, could it be that the capital is unstable? ”
Lin Mu'er chuckled, shook his head, and comforted: "Don't worry, it's safe!" I'm afraid that the southern Xinjiang mission is coming, Your Majesty
What's so bad about sending a few more people to us, right? ”
"That's right!" Mother Xie nodded thoughtfully, there are no other people on the left and right, so it is safer in the house.
"Red Apricot, bring a saucer."
"Yes!"
Lin Mu'er took the plain celadon bone plate, carefully put the peeled melon seeds into it, and sighed: "This, go and send it to the green orange." ”
"Master!" Mother Xie and Hong Xing were stunned, it has only been less than half a day, why is the master... That girl, who behaved like this today, it was not too much to drag out and beat a few boards, and the master also rewarded her with the melon seeds she peeled with her own hands.
"Don't say I gave it!" Lin Mu'er took the handkerchief and wiped her hands carefully, looked at the melon seed kernel and said, "It's just to find an excuse to go and see her, she is young, and she always has to be trained!" Hongxing, you are the same age as her, there are some words, it is more convenient to say, you go to see her, if you really know that you are wrong, come and admit your mistake, it's okay! ”
Lin Mu'er couldn't bear it after all, Qingcheng was not here today, and the room was a lot more deserted, and this girl was chattering on weekdays, and she was not in her ears anymore, and she was really a little unaccustomed.
Mother Xie disagreed, and made a calm face: "Master, Qingcheng's girl should be sharpened, if she goes on like this, something big will happen if she doesn't keep it together!" ”
Lin Mu'er nodded, how could she not know that Qingcheng, a girl, dared to deceive her like this in front of her, if she was too indulgent to her, it would not be a good thing after all. However, Lin Mu'er has always been ruthless in her heart, and she always feels that this girl is a little younger, and it will always be good to train more!
Now Lin Mu'er thinks so, but she doesn't know that her thoughts like this really nourish Qingcheng's restless heart in the end!
Hongxing didn't say anything, but she also went out awkwardly with a plate, but Mother Xie looked at Hongxing's back, knowing that her master was too partial to Qingcheng, but she had nothing to do, so she shook her head helplessly.
After a while, Lan Xue and Quan Shun came over together, and Quan Shun saluted and stood to the side with his hands tied.
"The Imperial Forest Army outside the palace has changed, you know?" Lin Mu'er gently blew the osmanthus tea in the quilt and asked.
Quan Shun was stunned for a moment, and he was cramped for a while, his face flushed, and he said a little unnaturally: "Back to the master, yesterday I gave a red envelope to the Imperial Forest Army outside, the number of people is still right, and she knows the red envelope prepared by the girl Meiyue." Today's slave only came over in the morning, and I just heard Miss Lan Xue mention it. ”
Lin Mu'er nodded, and smiled indifferently: "The left and right are the emperor's grace, and it is good to send more people to help us protect the palace, you must not be lazy!" ”
"Yes, the minion wrote it down!"
"Alright, let's go down!" Lin Mu'er waved her hand, looking uninterested.
Lan Xue was a little anxious, the master summoned Quan Shun, and asked two words that didn't hurt and let him go? Isn't it a strange thing that there are more guards outside for no reason? The emperor's Imperial Forest Army is used to defend the capital and protect the emperor, how could it be sent to our mansion for no reason.
Lin Mu'er seemed to see Lan Xue's thoughts, and stood up: "The Royal Forest Army is the emperor's Royal Forest Army, and the emperor suddenly sent more people, it must be the emperor's intention, Quan Shun He is just a housekeeper, how can he know?" After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "Don't forget, there are still people from the emperor in our house, if you are too persistent in this matter, the emperor still thinks that we have something to see!" ”
Lan Xue "chuckled" in her heart, how could she forget about this, and quickly shut up at the moment, and didn't say more: "Yes, the slave understands!" ”
Lin Mu'er sighed slightly, looked at Quan Shun who went out in the wind and snow, and showed a trace of melancholy on her white little face: the wind and snow were dense outside, and although the house was warm like spring, it couldn't warm the uneasiness in her heart...
