In June, the grass and trees are thick and green, and the leaves of an orange tree in the literary academy are dense, and the green light flows, and the green branches are dotted with some fine white flowers, which are fragrant and intoxicating, and the horizontal slanting green leaves block the burning sunlight, casting a large shadow.

In the shadows, a girl in bright yellow clothes is holding a book and sighing, "Hey, the hero is either evil and ruthless, or evil and cruel, either cold and domineering, or black and strong, good men are all extreme, why do I think so perverted?" Could it be that there is something wrong with my taste, whether it is that I am abnormal or that the author and other readers are abnormal! ”

As soon as she saw me, her fair face immediately showed a bright smile, shining brightly, and she held the book in front of me and asked, "Would you like a man who insults you, scolds you, beats you, forces you, and abuses you?" ”

My eyebrows jumped, and my eyes were like fine snow in the cold winter sky, "No, unless I'm sick in the head." ”

"But that's what the book says, are all girls sick now? was abused in every way like this, and she could still fall in love with him in the end, which is really incomprehensible logic. Ling'er was holding a book with "Not My Alluring City" written on the cover, and she couldn't understand it.

After thinking about it, she finally came to a conclusion, "It can only be said that the current girls have too low requirements for men." ”

I reminded lightly: "If you replace the hero in your book with a man who looks like a man who has no money and no power, do you think she will still love him?" ”

Ling Er suddenly realized, "It turns out that as long as you are good-looking, rich and powerful, everything can be forgiven!" ”

Ling Er asked me very seriously, "This book was bought at the Red Sleeve Bookstore, and it is a story about the heroine who is abused, whipped, and bullied by the male protagonist and finally true love trumps everything and the two live happily ever after." Sister, how do you feel about this novel? ”

I sighed incomparably: "The heroine's heart is really strong. ”

Ling'er agreed: "Actually, the more powerful is the author, she always has the ability to make many people feel that the scumbag is so affectionate." I really admire this kind of writing skills. ”

I looked at her and suddenly thought, "Where did you get this book, there should be no such book in the palace?" ”

Ling Er smiled and said: "This, Zheng Siji and Sister Xue Sishan often go out of the palace to buy, and I asked them to buy it for me outside the palace." ”

"You have a good relationship with them?"

Ling Er blinked and smiled brightly, "I am serving the pen and ink by the side of the concubine, and they have to walk around with me more." ”

Yuwen Yong has no queen, and the Empress Dowager has been doing nothing in Hanren Hall all day long, and the largest in the harem is only Concubine Li Guifei. Ling Er, as a celebrity in front of Li Guifei, Zheng Siji and Xue Sishan had to stammer.

I smiled at her, the smile on my cheeks was like an elegant magnolia, "Ling'er, in fact, not only can they go out of the palace to help you buy books, I can too, and I guarantee that it is much better than what they bought." ”

Ling'er's big smart eyes blinked, "Really? ”

I smiled and nodded, "Really, but you have to do something for me." ”

Ling Er's smile faded a little, but soon her smile was as bright as a summer flower, "I'll think about this, if it's difficult, I won't do it." ”

I chuckled and said, "It's not difficult, it's very simple, you just need to pretend to be casual when talking to Zheng Siji and Xue Sishan, ask them which store they usually buy from, and tell me when you come back." ”

——

Of course, Yu Wenyong is not just playing chess and piano in the palace, when he is bored, he will go out of the palace to play once in three days, and the palace people have long been surprised by this. On this day, when he was about to leave the palace, I duly mentioned my desire to leave the palace too, and he took me out with him.

Yu Wenyong went to the hottest song and dance workshop in Chang'an City-Liuxue Fang, which is an emerging song and dance workshop in Chang'an in recent years. This workshop is strangely conceived, not like other companies simply to delight the audience with song and dance, but to interpret the story with song and dance, each song and dance has a beautiful and moving story, a twisting legend of ups and downs. From the dignitaries and nobles, to the common people, they all love to watch it. It has gained a firm foothold in Chang'an with wonderful songs and dances, fascinating stories, and beautiful music, and has gradually gained the momentum of dominating the Chang'an Song and Dance Workshop.

There is a composer genius in Liuxuefang, and it is said that many popular music in Chang'an are written by him. Yu Wenyong loves music and rhythm, and every once in a while he will come to Liuxuefang to visit this jade boy and discuss music theory with him.

The carriage stopped in front of Liuxue Fang, and when I got off, I looked up at the daylight, and suddenly found a pot of fine and dense green bamboo potted plants next to a window on the third floor, which was very green and lovely.

Entering Liuxue Fang, Yu Wenyong went to visit Yu Gongzi, he and Yu Gongzi discussed music theory in the private room on the third floor, and Zhao Tongdu and I could only wait downstairs dryly. Although there was a song and dance performance on the first floor, I didn't want to watch it, so I wanted to go out for a walk when Yuwenyong was away, and Zhao Tong offered to accompany me.

Zhao Tong saw that I went to many shops, but I didn't buy anything, only asked the price, and I thought it was strange, so I asked a few more words, and I prevaricated with laughter. In the end, I didn't forget to go to the Red Sleeve Bookstore that Ling'er said, asked the shopkeeper what popular novels there were at the moment, and picked two novels with good titles.

After shopping around the store, I returned to the original place, but I saw Yu Wenyong at the door with a black face, and when he saw me, he said: "You still know that you are coming back, and I also said that you don't want to come back." ”

Du Cheng smiled and said: "Miss Xiao, Your Majesty is worried about you, and even more afraid that you will disappear, he is not really angry with you." ”

Yu Wenyong turned his head and glared at Du Quan, "Who said I was worried about her, where did she fall in love!" ”

With that, Yu Wenyong lifted the curtain and got into the carriage angrily. I then followed and got into the carriage, and I whispered, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the poison on my body has not yet been resolved, how can I walk." ”

Yu Wenyong stared at me and his gaze sank, "So if you weren't poisoned, you would have left, but fortunately, I had the foresight to cut off your back road in advance." ”

"Also, I'm not worried about you, I'm just worried that if you leave, I won't be able to get the world's ambitions." Yu Wenyong specifically emphasized this point.

I said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you and I know this very well, you don't need to explain it." ”

After a while, I smelled a fragrant smell of magnolia flowers in the carriage, and I said, "Your Majesty, why do you have a fragrance of magnolia flowers on your body?" ”

Yu Wenyong was puzzled at first, sniffed his sleeves, and then said: "When I came out, I bumped into many girls in the workshop, this is probably the fragrance of which girl in the Liuxue Fang." ”

At this moment, the carriage, which was originally driving smoothly, moved suddenly, and my body fell suddenly, and it crashed directly into Yu Wenyong's arms, and I quickly got up. Who knew that the car was swinging again, and it was directly thrown on Yu Wenyong. I got up again, and the car shook again, and this time Yu Wenyong directly hugged me who fell. I struggled to get up, but I heard a low roar from Yu Wenyong in my ear, "Don't move!" ”

Seeing that I was still struggling, Yu Wenyong was a little annoyed and said, "I'm doing this for your good, don't move if you don't want to fall." As he spoke, his hands tightened tighter and tighter.

The car was tumbling, in the dim compartment, the two bodies were close to each other, I could almost feel his heartbeat, his breathing was like a separation, and Yu Wenyong's eyes were a little confused.

I took the opportunity to push him away and barely managed to climb out of the car as I stumbled. Du Cheng outside the car whipped the horse's leg from time to time, smiling proudly, but when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of my cold stare at his face, and his smile froze, "Miss Xiao, why did you come out?" ”

It turns out that Fang is Du Quan's ghost!

My smile shimmered like a beautiful rose, "Du Gongzi, you must be tired of driving, so let me do it for you." ”

Du squeaked: "No, no need. ”

"Of course!" I couldn't help but snatch the reins from his hand and push him into the carriage with one hand, "You just stay inside!" ”

"I promise you'll be able to sit comfortably!"

With a flick of the horsewhip in his hand, the car shook, and a scream of "ah-" came from inside.

——

Early in the morning, I summoned all the treasurers and the chefs in the main hall, and at first the palace ladies whispered and secretly speculated about what I was going to do. I walked around them, and they didn't dare to squeak anymore at the sight of my stern eyes.

Looking around at the people present, I said with a calm face: "You must understand that this official is now in charge of the Accounting Department and the Catering Division. Your Majesty has trusted me, and has entrusted me with the Treasurer and the Dieter, and I should do my best as a courtier. What you have to do is to cooperate with me to manage the affairs of each department, instead of being so-so and perfunctory! ”

"A few days ago, I checked the accounts of the two divisions, and found many errors and omissions, and I wanted to check the accounts, but I found that some people deceived me when I first arrived, thinking that I was dull and ignorant, and that they were blindly prevaricating me, and ignoring my orders. What this official hates most is these villains who are inconsistent and two-faced—"

Speaking of this, I swept sharply at Zheng Siji and Xue Sishan, "Zheng Siji, Xue Sishan, are you guilty?" ”

The two of them were swept away by me like this, their bodies trembled, and Zheng Siji calmed down and said: "The lower officials don't know, please make it clear." ”

I said sharply: "You two are cheating on the books, deceiving the upper and lower, taking advantage of the gap to make money, and you don't know the crime!" ”

Both of them were taken aback, and Xue Sishan panicked and said, "My lord, there is no official!" ”

Although Zheng Siji was afraid, he was still indignant: "My lord, corruption is a big crime, you can't wronged people for no reason, do you have evidence?" ”

I raised an account book in my hand, "The evidence is here, this is the list of items you have purchased in the past few years in Zhujia Rice Shop, Zhoujia Silk Village, Lujia Pharmacy, Fang's Salt Shop, etc. Zhoujia Silk Village recorded that on the third day of July in the first year of Wucheng, the Zheng family purchased 40 horses of cloud yarn and 400 wen horses, totaling 16,000 wen; Zhujia Rice Shop recorded that on April 20 of the second year of Wucheng, the Zheng family purchased 18,000 buckets of rice, three cents and one bucket, a total of 54,000 wen; Fang's salt shop records that on May 11 of the first year of Baoding, Xue's purchased 20 catties of salt, 40 wen a catty, a total of 800 wen; According to the records of the Lujia Pharmacy, on March 11 of the second year of Baoding, Xue's family purchased 36 taels of bird's nest, 200 wen and 1 tael, a total of 7,200 wen. But you recorded in the account book that the price of rice was 6 wen yuan a bucket, the price of salt was 60 wen yuan a catty, 50 horses of cloud yarn, and 46 taels of bird's nest. The shopkeepers of those shops have personally explained to me and made up a note, and there are all kinds of evidence, and so on, do you still need me to say them one by one? ”
