Chapter 40: Lang's heart is like the moon

I'm shouting, it's really ...... His name. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

At that time, I thought of him, and it was just him.

Dream...... Wouldn't lie?

After a long pause, Cixi sighed silently, "Okay, you go down." ”

After Yu'er went out, Cixi got out of bed, pulled the red velvet burqa, put it on, walked to the big dressing mirror, buttoned the buttons one by one, and tied the belt.

This burqa, the neckline and cuffs are embroidered with white lace, the collar is raised high, but the neckline is opened very low, revealing a touch of snow-white ****. The upper body is narrow, and the black silk belt is tied, which shows the curves, but the lower body is extremely wide, and the skirt is mopping the floor, not revealing the slender feet.

The beauty in the mirror, her skin is as white as snow, her clothes are gorgeous, and under the light, she looks more and more beautiful like a diamond and moist like jade.

Cixi smiled to herself, this burqa was entered by him...... Right now, this body of his own is wrapped in the burqa he entered, and this person of his own is actually in his ...... Get your hands on it.

She dimmed the kerosene lamp, and the room was as light as a bean.

Cixi opened the glass door, then picked up the tea bowl, walked to the terrace, and sat down on the sofa chair.

It's autumn, and the rattan sofa chair has thick cushions and cushions, but there are no cushions on the armrests, and the arms are placed on the top, although through the thick sleeves, you can still feel the faint coolness.

Cixi walked to the terrace, not only because the air outside was cool, which helped to keep her mind clear, and she could think more clearly and transparently; It was also because, Fang Cai, "Dongbianer", Concubine Ligui, and that terrifying-looking person "came" to the bedroom, and she felt that there seemed to be their shadows and breath left in the bedroomβ€”she wanted to avoid them.

Although, she knows, those are all dreams.

Yesterday was about that time...... I'm here and on the terrace, but yesterday I was standing and I'm sitting today......

At this time yesterday, the moon was like water, and there was a huge garden in front of me, with grass and tree pavilions, and the statue of "Water Law", which was vivid and clear as day.

Looking into the distance, you can still faintly see the sparkling waves on the surface of the lake.

Now the sky is gloomy and gloomy, the stars and the moon are invisible, and there are lights in the garden, but the surrounding scenery is full of shadows and shadows, and it is impossible to distinguish them in detail; Outside the garden, there was a thick ink, and no matter how wide the eyes were, they could not see anything.

In just one day, this day has changed.

Cixi remembered that at this time yesterday, standing on the terrace, holding on to the railing, and looking into the distance, she had an illusion: where she was, it was like an isolated island, surrounded by the ocean, and although it was calm at the moment, she didn't know if there would be waves after dawn.

Unexpectedly, it was not an illusion - after dawn, it was really turbulent!

At present, he is like a flat boat, carrying heavy loads and floating, and it is difficult to control himself.

Alas!

Cixi sipped her tea slowly, trying to calm her mind.

A conversation with Qifujin came to mind again-

"Queen Mother, I think," Qifujin said cautiously while looking at Cixi's face, "Guan Zhuofan, this person, in the matter of the emperor, although not very ...... Not ......"

"It's not big" anything, for a while, I couldn't think of a suitable word, and my face couldn't help but turn red.

Cixi snorted and said, "You must say 'but' next, right?" - Well, you just say, 'But' whatever! ”

"Yes, yes!" Qifujin breathed a sigh of relief, "But-I think, Guan Zhuofan's heart is actually really good......"

Is your heart good?

This sentence is placed on him, why does it sound so awkward?

However, Cixi only frowned and did not say anything.

Seeing that Cixi did not refute herself, Qifujin became a little bolder, and continued: "Look, Yi Xun is ...... to him Uh, that's the way he looks, he's just ...... Well, he was dismissed from his knighthood, studied behind closed doors, and didn't even touch his family property...... If it's a different person, for example...... For example, the sixth master, where can I let go of Yiyun? ”

After a pause, "Well, I'm not saying what the Sixth Master will do with Yiyun - they are brothers after all...... I'm making an analogy, that is, if someone treats the sixth master like Yi Xun treats Guan Zhuofan......"

Cixi's heart moved.

"Let's take the matter of Xin Younian as an example," Qifujin continued, "In my opinion, in fact, Su Shun, Zaiyuan, and Duanhua are not very good Sixth Masters, but the Sixth Masters must kill their heads, I always feel that compared to Guan Zhuofan, the Sixth Master's heart is actually much more ruthless......"

Cixi glanced at Qifujin in surprise.

Unexpectedly, this sister, who has always been stupid, still has such insight?

However, there is one thing, I don't know if you have thought about it? If you want to kill Su Shun, you are not the only one who wants to kill Su Shun, your sister and I also want to get Su Shun's head quickly!

Killing Zaiyuan and Duanhua is indeed just the idea of Lao Liu, and I have nothing to do, but since there is nothing to do, then follow the meaning of Lao Liu-he has to kill Zaiyuan and Duanhua.

In this way, Guan Zhuofan's "heart and eyes" seem to be better than the sixth child......

However, Guan Zhuofan took the life of the seventh child to make a "persuasive" deal with the sixth child, if this transaction could not be done, whether he would let the seventh child go, that is two words.

Just thinking about whether to point this out to her, Qifujin said again: "I also know that if the sixth master doesn't help Yi Xun on that fold, Yi Xun may not be able to ...... Not necessarily ......"

I don't know how to phrase it.

Hmph, the key is not "helping Yi Xun on the fold" at all, the key is the fold on the sixth child himself!

This sister - still stupid!

"But," Qifu Jin said hesitantly, "I think ......"

This time, there was no need for Cixi's "approval", and Qifujin was directly "but".

"Well, if you change someone, you can spare Yiyun's life, why bother...... Why just get rid of your knighthood and study behind closed doors? Still...... Restitution of property? That's too good...... Uh, that's a bit too much, isn't it? If it weren't for the fact that his heart and eyes were really good, what else could he want? - His goal has been achieved! ”

Figure what? Fame!

The better his reputation, the more support he will be from the government and the opposition!

Fame......

Cixi's heart moved slightly.

She snorted softly again.

Cixi has never refuted Qifujin's rhetoric, this disdainful "hum", to Qifujin's ears, is more like a certain degree of approval, and she is bolder.

"It's not all-" Qifujin said, "The Queen Mother told me that Yi Xun's 'favor' in the 'Feng'en Fund' is still ......."

"Oh?"

This time, Cixi was really a little surprised.

"She said that the money from the 'Feng'en Fund' that Guan Zhuofan said did not come from the treasury, and although Yiyun was dismissed, this 'favor' could not be affected."

"Oh......"

"In addition to 'favors', there are also 'dividends'," Qifujin said, "The Queen Mother said that she would go and talk to Guan Zhuofan to see if Yiyun's share could be kept as an example of 'Grace'?" ”

After a pause, "I think, since the Queen Mother and Queen Mother have said so, there should be no problem with this dividend......"

It's too good to be "a little too much."

"There are also 70,000 taels of share capital in the clan bank," Qifujin said, "The Queen Mother asked me, do you take it out, or do you continue to keep it?" If you take it out, you will have a total of 80,000 or 90,000 pieces of silver! ”

"Eighty or ninety thousand silver?"

"Yes."

I have a share capital of 100,000 taels of silver in the clan bank, so now it is 120,000 or 30,000......

Cixi pondered for a moment and said, "Since the 'return of family property' naturally includes the share capital of the clan bank. Still, when she said that, she was still thinking ...... Relatively thoughtful. ”

"Yes, what the Queen Mother said!" Qifujin hurriedly said, "It's the word 'thoughtful'!" Queen Mother...... Uh, it's also about Zhuo Fan, thinking for me and Yiyun, it's really ...... Very thoughtful! ”

After a pause, "The Queen Mother has said several times that she wants me to ...... Well, I really plan to get up seriously and live a long life, otherwise, a big family, for a long time, I have to sit and eat empty mountains - after all, Yiyun is now, there is no lord, no position, no year, rice, food and silver, all gone. ”

"I think she's ...... Uh, I really plan for the future of me and Yiyun......"

This time, Cixi let out a soft "um" - but maybe it was still a "hum", but it just sounded like an "um".

Qifujin was quite encouraged, "She also said that according to her meaning, Yi Xun has been relieved of his knighthood, and he may not live in Taiping Lake anymore, and if he changes to a smaller house, the expenses can be much less, and he will not dare to put on those useless pomp and circumstance, and he will be fat with a swollen face!" ”

paused, "However, Guan Zhuofan and the military plane did not approve, so they just asked for it." ”

Speaking of this, Qifujin looked at Cixi and asked tentatively: "I don't quite understand this, change to a smaller house, in fact, Yiyun and I are both willing-the current situation, maintaining such a big family, it is really difficult, I don't know, uh, Guan Zhuofan them, why...... Don't approve of it? ”

"Needless to say?" Cixi's tone was filled with a hint of ridicule, "You two moved out of Taiping Lake, who knows that the people outside are actually trying to save expenses?" Naturally, they all thought that the 'top' was not waiting to see the Seventh Master and the Seven Blessings! In this way, he took great pains to buy people's hearts, didn't he discount it? So, hmph, you have to continue to 'slap the swollen face and become fat'! ”

"Ah......h

Qifujin suddenly realized, and at the same time a little embarrassed, snorted, and said: "However, I told the Queen Mother that the subordinates in the palace, but if they are useless, if they can ask them to find another way out, please ask them to find another way out, so that you can save a lot of money." ”

After a pause, "It's just that some families don't have children who are not easy to deal with - before the words were finished, the Queen Mother said, 'This is easy to do, but if you can't send people who are useless, and you can't send them away, you open a list for me, and I will give it to Guan Zhuofan, and ask him to settle it for you'." ”

"Hey!" Cixi's tone, I don't know whether it was praise or bullet, "It's really thoughtful!" ”

"yes!"

Qifujin is naturally "like" to be a sister, and she even danced a little with her eyebrows, "I calculated, the favors and dividends of the 'Feng'en Fund', the dividends of the clan bank, and the interest of several Zhuangzi, all together, and then seven provinces and eight provinces, although they still live in Taiping Lake, they can also live on it!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Cixi eagerly.

"You've said such a long story," Cixi said slowly, "and you're saying good things for himβ€”what, did he ask you to be my lobbyist?" ”

Qifu Jin was shocked, and his expression immediately changed: "How could I ...... How dare you? ”

He stood up and knelt down.

"You are the Queen Mother, and you are also my own sister......" Qifujin's voice trembled slightly, "When, I am ...... It's all for the Queen Mother...... For the sake of my own sister! ”

Cixi was silent.

"I was thinking that Guan Zhuofan was still so ...... to the people who hurt him Generosity, not to mention...... What's more, the Queen Mother? Li Niuer is the heir of the emperor, I know that the queen mother must ...... must not be happy, but, no matter what, Guan Zhuofan will not be able to stand the Queen Mother! Let alone...... What's more, he and the Queen Mother, uh, uh...... Whoever he treats badly, he won't treat the Queen Mother badly! Therefore, the matter has come to this, the Queen Mother ...... Just, don't blame him anymore, no matter what...... You two, don't make a fuss......"

Qifujin's words are a little incoherent, but the basic meaning is finally clear.

Cixi was silent for a while, and said, "You get up." ”

Qifujin stood up, bowed his head slightly, and didn't dare to sit down.

"Sit down."

Qifujin sat down at this time.

After a while, Cixi said faintly: "What you said also has some truth...... Perhaps, he really has some conscience, really ...... You won't be sorry for me! ”
