Yuwen Yong really sent someone to pick me up into the palace, and before leaving, Yuwen Hu told me that if I needed help, I could find him, but I didn't say anything. There is no free lunch in the world, and Yuwen Hu must have his purpose in doing this.

I was first taken to Zhengyang Palace, Yuwen Yong's dormitory, Yu Wen Yong revealed to me Yuwen Hu's original words, "He said that you insisted on refusing to enter the palace, and even forced you to die, persuaded me not to be in a hurry, and gave me the idea to make you a female official first. “

"On the one hand, he said that he would help you, and on the other hand, he gave me ideas here, and he held steady on both sides, in order to sell you a favor and make you owe him. When you enter the palace, he will tell you to do some necessary things, such as monitoring me. ”

Sure enough, as I thought, I sarcastically said: "Your Majesty has already guessed his intentions, so he handed me over to him so easily, and calculated the plan, in order to use his own way to govern his body, so as to repay his revenge for using me as a bait to lure the first emperor into the bait." ”

Yu Wenyong knew that I was dissatisfied, so he said: "Qingqiang, don't forget, you said that you would assist me and help me, isn't now the best opportunity for you to help me?" ”

I smiled wryly, was there any other choice for me?

Yu Wenyong issued an edict to entitle me as a third-grade female scholar, and the Zhou State followed the official system of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and adopted the old rites of the Han and Jin dynasties, forming a set of female official system. Female officials are in charge of specific affairs in the palace, and their rank is opposite to that of foreign officials, the supreme leader is the internal secretary, and the official is more than Shang Shuling; followed by the secretary, the chief eunuch, and the waitress, the official is more than the second grade; the third is the female scholar, the female history, the female book history, the history of the book, the little book girl, the official ratio of the three products; The fourth is the six divisions, the secretary, the treasure, the accountant, the food, the secretary, the secretary, the official; Finally, there are six classics, classic clothes, classic treasures, classic plans, classic meals, and classic books, and the official ratio is five products.

The main task of the female scholar is to sort out the documents, approve and manage the chapters outside the palace, and sometimes draft edicts, decrees, circulars and the like for the emperor.

After I finish learning the etiquette of female officials in the palace, I can officially take office.

My residence is arranged in the literary academy, which is very close to Zhengyang Palace, and I have been learning etiquette from my aunt these days, and I am very tired of learning, but I finally learned it.

There are a few sparse green bamboos planted in the corner of the courtyard, and the faint moonlight sprinkles down from the leaves of the green bamboos, as if there is a faint green light, clear and clear like the rippling water of a lake. This situation reminded me of a person like a white moon and green bamboo, and my mind moved, remembering that when I entered the palace, Yuwen Yong asked someone to send me a bamboo flute, so I went back to the house and took the flute, and played it on my lips.

The sound of the flute was melodious and clear, and suddenly I seemed to hear the clear singing:

Young youth is happy

Riding horses

The end of the sword

and when the water is poor

Sit and lie on the flowers

There is a misguided path in the world

A sword to settle the storm

Don't be afraid of clouds covering the day

There is always a time when the clouds open and the moon shines

Forget it

If you get too much hatred, you will be easily hurt

The heart is calm and spacious

Something to enjoy

Look at the picturesque rivers and mountains, flowers like snow

Good times are not to be disappointed

Something to enjoy

Look at the picturesque rivers and mountains, flowers like snow

Good times are not to be disappointed

……

After finishing the song, I saw not far away, a beautiful goose yellow figure walked slowly in the moonlight.

Gradually, I got closer, my body was light, my hair was green like a waterfall, my complexion was white and greasy, and I looked like a bright bellflower in the night, and the bells moved, and I thought she should be a girl with a good complexion.

When she approached, I was taken aback, for the girl's fair face was covered with tears.

Without waiting for me to speak, the girl began to say, "I'm sorry, this sister, I listened to your flute voice, it was so touching, I couldn't help it." He wiped away his tears as he spoke.

The overall tone of "Gentleman's Walk" is bright and brisk, and it can actually make her cry, and this girl's crying point is too low. I looked at her thin eyebrows after wiping away her tears, and said, "Which category of female officials are you, is it a female history, a scholar, or a little scholar?" "The palace stipulates that the female officials of the third rank wear yellow bow clothes.

She said: "I'm a little scholar, you are a new female scholar." My name is Ling'er, but my nickname is Ah Sleeve, a very simple and friendly name. Have you heard of it? ”

I shook my head, "I haven't heard of it, it's really rustic." ”

Her eyes were momentarily disappointed, but she quickly regained her strength, "Your name is Xiao Qingqiang, then I will call you Sister Qingqiang in the future, okay?" ”

When I saw her with tears on her face at first glance, I thought she was a sad and sad girl, but I didn't expect to speak so enthusiastically and cheerfully.

I couldn't help but say, "How old are you this year?" "She looks about my age, are you sure I'm my sister?

She wrenched her fingers and smiled like a flower, "I was born on July 12, and I am 19 this year, one month younger than Sister Qingqiang." ”

Sure enough, I'm older, and it seems that she has gone to see my palace, so she calls me sister as soon as we meet.

This night, this girl walked all over my yard, and also carefully appreciated and commented one by one, and finally said that she would often come here to drink tea and listen to the flute in the future, hoping that I would not dislike it.

On this day, I put on an apricot yellow striped skirt in accordance with the regulations, put on a wig, and wore a bun in accordance with the style of a third-grade female official, wearing five flowers on my head, two small verdant beads on each side, and a magnolia bead flower crystal clear as water in the middle. Everything is ready, and he officially took office and went to Yu Wenyong's side to sort out the paperwork.

Soon I figured out the general rules of life of Yuwen Yong, who often said that he was sick and could not go to court, and all the government affairs were handed over to Yuwen Hu. The ancient kings were either interested in eating and drinking, or in beauty, and he was obviously not very interested in eating and drinking, and as for beauty, he had not entered any of the concubine's palace since he came back. He mainly focuses on eating, drinking, and having fun, he is good at music, calligraphy and painting, likes to ride and shoot, and his biggest hobby is to play chess, and his obsession with chess has even reached the point of getting carried away, not asking about the world, and abandoning the government. It is said that chess is a fun activity that he painstakingly created and invented from the records of the ancient books of his ancestors, and it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, Yu Wenyong not only played chess by himself, but also vigorously promoted it to his subjects. Whenever a courtier came to tell him his case, he would be dragged by him to play chess, bent on carrying forward the chess he had invented.

I worked hard all morning to sort the chapters, but Yuwen Yong didn't look at it, and directly waved his hand and asked He Quan to take it and hand it over to Yuwen Hu, who was discussing in Shangshu Province.

Then Yu Wenyong gave me a task, "The chief eunuch who is in charge of the sixth division is seriously ill and cannot manage the affairs of the second division. I'll hand you over the position of acting eunuch first, do a good job, don't let me down. ”

When I was about to leave the Zhengwu Palace, Yu Wenyong suddenly grabbed me, pressed my hand on the imperial case of the painted crane and flowing clouds, and quietly approached me, his tall nose brushed my sideburns intentionally or unintentionally, and exhaled in my ear like a blue road: "The pearl flower is about to fall." ”

I was stunned, only to see his slender fingers pass from my cheeks and slowly fall to the bun, helping to straighten the beads on the bun, and the corners of his lips curled with a teasing smile, "It's done." ”

I was teased by him like this, and I was immediately extremely embarrassed, and I fled out of the Zhengwu Palace. waited until he got out of the door to sober up, there was a spy of Yuwen Hu in this palace, and he deliberately made ambiguous movements, which may have been shown to Yu Wen Hu.

I looked back at the guards on duty at the gate of the Zhengwu Palace, and suddenly felt that there was a person who looked very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, I remembered that person was not Yang Jian I saw at the Anxiety Relief Restaurant not long after I came to Chang'an?

From the clues of Yuwen Hu's words, it can be learned that Yang Jian's wife once had a past with Yuwen Yong, and now, he is helping his wife's old lover guard the palace gate, I don't know how he feels in his heart?

The second-grade female officials are in charge of the six divisions, the chief eunuch, and the waitress, and the division is in charge of the clothing division and the treasure division; The chief supervisor is in charge of the accounting department and the catering department; The waitress is in charge of the division and the secretary. Although I was temporarily acting as a chief eunuch, I couldn't be idle, so I spent two days looking through the account books of the accountant and the chef, and found a lot of problems, so I called Zheng and Xue Sishan.

I looked through the account book, and pointed to a certain place in the account book as I flipped through it: "Why is the price of the supplies purchased on this account so high, such as the price of rice and salt in recent years, as far as I know, the price of rice in the market is only three cents a bucket of rice at most, and the price of salt is forty cents a catty." Why is the price of rice recorded in the account book 6 wen yuan a bucket, and the price of salt 60 wen yuan a catty, which is much higher than the market? ”

"This-" Zheng Siji said with a smile, "Although they are all rice salt, the price of each rice shop is different, and the natural price is also different, and the rice salt used in the palace is always more expensive." ”

I was not satisfied: "Even if the price of each rice and salt shop is different, but the price is only one to ten Wen, how can it be so high?" ”

Zheng Siji said with a smile: "We just buy rice, and when we buy it, it is at this price, how can we know the price of the rice shops and salt shops, aren't you embarrassed for us, my lord?" ”

Fooling me like this, thinking that I was a boudoir girl who didn't know firewood, rice, oil and salt, I sank my face and said: "What about this, in July of the first year of Wucheng, the treasurer collected fifty horses of cloud yarn, and the harem spent forty horses, where did the other ten horses go?" ”

Zheng Siji thought for a while and said, "Maybe it was damaged or accidentally lost in the process of transporting the goods?" ”

I couldn't help but say: "If that's the case, then why didn't you write the reason in the account book, ten horses of cloud and mist yarn, which are worth a lot of money, and you actually said that you lost it?" ”

Zheng Siji said: "There are also careless palace people at the bottom. ”

I flipped through the book again and said coldly to Xue Sishan: "What is clearly recorded here is forty-six taels of bird's nest, how did it become six taels after subtracting thirty taels?" ”

Xue Sishan smiled and said: "My lord, the palace maids under our Si Shan Si are different, you have congenital conditions, you are educated, literate and understand mathematics, and it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes in arithmetic." ”

I said with a straight face: "If the people below make mistakes, won't you check the account book and correct it in time, if you can't even do this well, then what do you want to do!" ”

"My lord, you don't have to worry about this account, you will worry about it when the eunuch is well, you are just a temporary eunuch, you don't need to work so hard." Xue Sishan's tone was soft, but there was a faint impatience in his eyes.

I dropped the ledger and told them to go out with a cold face, these two people did everything they could to cover up, and the cat on the ledger must have something to do with them.

Seeing that I am only a temporary eunuch, he does not take me seriously at all, and it is simply perfunctory. No, even if it is the temporary management of the second division, I have to make some achievements, and I can't let them underestimate me.
