Jinping let go of his hand and rushed to Xing'er to order: "You wait outside the courtyard gate, wait for us to go in and get the maiden's dress, and then take you to see the maiden to make the words clear." With that, the two of them turned around and walked towards the door of the Shangfu Bureau.

How could Lai Xing'er let go of such a good opportunity, he smiled and followed closely behind the two of them and said, "Little brother is really not at ease, it's better to go in with my sisters." ”

While speaking, the three of them had already arrived in the courtyard, and Jinping raised his voice and asked, "Is there anyone inside?" Cailuan, where are you? ”

As soon as Lai Xing'er stepped into the courtyard of the Shangfu Bureau, his eyes kept wandering around, always on guard against the masked woman suddenly appearing in front of him. However, to his disappointment, this small courtyard was unusually quiet, except for the rustle of leaves in the wind, as if it was not crowded.

Jinping saw that no one answered, and he was also a little anxious, and he raised his feet to break into the main room, but at this time, the door of the main room was opened with a "squeak", and a fifty-year-old and thin grandmother came out of the room, and almost collided with Jinping head-on.

"Zhong Zhangyi, why is the Shangfu Bureau so cold today, causing me to call in the courtyard for a long time, but no one answers?" Jinping recognized this grandmother at a glance as the head of the Shangfu Bureau, Zhong, and asked strangely.

Mama Zhong is obviously very familiar with Jinping and Ying'er, and while letting the two of them into the house, she explained: "The girls don't know, more than half of the palace people in and out of the Shangfu Bureau have gone in the past few days, and those who have stayed have gone to the Cairen Palace to make the noodle king's clothes for the new ladies and sisters who have entered the palace, and only the old woman and Guo'er are left, and Guo'er is a person who has never made a sound, but the girls have been waiting for a long time." Hey, this little father-in-law is very raw, I don't know which concubine is waiting in front of him? ”

Jinping deliberately provoked: "Don't ask him first, let me ask you: Are those new talents in the palace expensive or the two maidens' dresses important?" The strange thing is that Cailuan and Shan'er have not come out for so long, and it turns out that Zhong Zhangyi sent everyone to the Cairen Palace to meet the new master. What should I do if the girls' dresses are delayed? ”

Ying'er knew that Jinping was naughty by nature, for fear that her reckless words would scare Mama Zhong, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked Mama Zhong with a smile: "It's been a while since we came, didn't Mama see Shan'er and them?" ”

Mama Zhong let the three of them sit down in the main hall, and said with a smile to Jinping and the two: "How dare my wife snub the concubine." The ceremonial clothes of the two concubines were made yesterday, and I asked Guo'er to iron them overnight, waiting for the girls to come and get them today. But it's not strange for you to say this, early this morning, Guo'er came to me and said to me that the peacock gold thread on the neckline of Concubine Li's dress fell off two lines for some reason, which frightened the old woman. The girls didn't know that this peacock gold thread was originally a tribute from the southwest barbarian state, and it was not easy to get it in the palace. I had no choice but to ask Guo'er to rush to Nannei to ask the concubine for some more emergencies, this time back and forth, it was inevitable to miss some hours, and now Guo'er is rushing to make up the two lines of gold thread in the weaving room over there, and several girls are also ......"

When Sakura heard her say that there was something wrong with Wanrong's dress, she was uneasy and couldn't sit still, so she got up and went to the weaving room to take a look. Jinping and Lai Xing'er saw that she was so anxious, and it was not good for her to go alone, so they also went out.

The weaving room of the Shangfu Bureau is a combination of three east wings, and dozens of looms are arranged in two rows.

Sakura and the other three pushed the door into the weaving room accompanied by Mama Zhong, and saw Cailuan and Shan'er and several maids gathered in front of a table close to the gable, "chirping" and discussing something. Lai Xing'er saw a young girl in Tsing Yi leaning over in front of the desk to sew something from a distance, and saw that her figure was similar to the masked woman who had followed her all the way here, and suddenly felt a tightness in her heart.

He tried his best to suppress the tension in his heart, turned his head and asked Mama Zhong in a low voice, "Is she the fruit you said?" ”

Although Mama Zhong did not ask about his origin, she saw that he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in a light green robe, and was obviously a eunuch with a head and face, so she didn't dare to wait slowly, sighed lightly, and replied, "Yes." When it comes to the hundreds of female weavers in the Shangfu Bureau, she is the most skilled worker. It's a pity that Guo'er is a blessed person, if it weren't for the changes in the family a few years ago, how could she, the daughter of an official eunuch, handle the affairs of her subordinates at a young age. ”

Lai Xing'er heard what she said, and wanted to know if this Guo'er was a masked woman, so she pulled Mama Zhong aside and asked, "Mama just said that only you and Guo'er are here today?" In this case, why did the concubine's dress suddenly take off two lines of lines for no reason? ”

Seeing that his expression was different, Mama Zhong replied inexplicably: "In the past two days, no one else has been here except for the two of us, why did the good guy go wrong, and I am wondering." ”

From Mama Zhong's words, Lai Xing'er had already determined that Guo'er was the masked woman who came to ask for news from Furong on Furong's orders.

He tracked all the way here, just to send a warning to her, so as to prevent her from following him to Longshou Canal at night, and mistakenly fell into Wu Bi's ambush, with no intention of snooping on her face and identity.

So, Lai Xing'er pretended to suddenly remember something important, stood by the door of the weaving room and greeted Jinping and Ying'er who had walked to Guo'er: "Alas, it's not good, two sisters, I almost forgot the emperor's mission." Yanying Hall is not allowed to enter and exit at will, General Wu only explained yesterday that tonight is a big day for the new palace people, and the Yanying Palace should also be extra careful, don't give birth to something for no reason. I'll leave now, and I'll go to say hello to the two mothers another day. With that, he turned and walked out.

Jinping didn't expect him to say that he would leave, remembering that what he and Ying'er said by the Taihu Lake Stone outside the door were overheard by him, for fear that he would chew the root of his tongue everywhere without covering his mouth, and cause trouble to himself, so he hurriedly ran over and stopped him and scared: "Since you are on an errand in Yanying Palace, I can't stop you, some words are just accidentally heard, if you go out and talk nonsense, I will report today's situation truthfully, and when the time comes, you don't dare to come." ”

Lai Xing'er peeked at Naguo'er's movements, and saw her leaning sideways and burying her head in the work in her hands, as if she didn't hear the warning meaning contained in her words just now. He was secretly anxious in his heart, and it was inconvenient to show it, so he said loudly through Jinping's words: "I remember my sister's words. The palace is no better than the outside, you must not say what you shouldn't say, you must not go to the places you shouldn't go, I know these rules. In front of my mother, you must take care of me. ”

Jinping gave him a thump with his hand, and said, "Let's go quickly." What do you do so loudly for no reason! ”

Lai Xing'er glanced at Guo'er again, and saw that she still ignored her shouting at herself, and thought to herself: I have already mentioned this awakening, whether you listen or not, it's all up to you. Thinking about this, he said goodbye to Mama Zhong, and turned around and left the Shangfu Bureau.
