Chapter 53 Jin Ying's troubles
"Water, water." "Quick Knife Liu" heard someone calling in the haze, opened his eyes and looked out the window to see that it was already lit up, and heard that someone was sweeping the floor, and he got up and poured himself a glass of water to drink, "Water, Water" At this time, the call sounded again, and "Quick Knife Liu" was sure that he was not dreaming, he thought that he was thirsty in his dream and looking for water to drink.
"Quick Dao Liu" came to the bed with a bowl of water and saw that Qingyu had woken up, but his complexion was not very good. His face was pale, his eyes were deep, and his lips were chapped and bloodstained, looking like a person who was going to be alive for a short time, "Quick Knife Liu" helped Qingyu up and leaned on his shoulder, fed Qingyu water, and then put it back on the bed.
Qingyu lay on the bed and asked softly, "Where am I?" "Quick Knife Liu" put the bowl aside and said with a smile: "You were rescued by me on the side of the road, you were unconscious at that time, and I was still careful that you couldn't survive, thank God you just woke up." It's not dawn yet, you can go to sleep again, I'll go get you some porridge. "Quick Dao Liu" finished speaking, covered Qingyu's quilt and went out to find Yan Yong.
Yan Yong has the habit of recognizing the bed, tossing and turning in Liu's mansion and it is difficult to fall asleep, so he finally gets up at dawn and comes to the garden, and on the way to the Liu's house, he asks the subordinates of Liu's mansion to prepare a pot of tea and a plate of pastries. "Hey, Sizai, have you seen Lord Yan?" "Kuaidao Liu" went to look for him, and when he went to look for him, the house was already empty, "Back to the master's words, the chief, he was drinking tea in the garden. ”
Si Zai said to "Quick Knife Liu". "Well, I know you're going down and getting busy." "Quick Knife Liu" walked quickly to the garden.
"Quick Knife Liu" came to the garden from a distance, and saw Yan Yong sitting there drinking tea leisurely, three steps and two steps all the way trotting to Yan Yong, panting for a long time speechless, Yan Yong said to "Fast Knife Liu": "You slow down, it's not good to be in a hurry early in the morning, come and drink a cup of tea and eat a piece of pastry to feel the quiet beauty of this morning." Yan Yong picked up the teacup, poured a cup of tea, and put it in front of "Kuaidao Liu".
"Quick Dao Liu" picked up the teacup and drank it all, sat on the stone bench and said to Yan Yong: "The lord in the house has woken up. I told him just now that I saved him on the side of the road, so I won't blame him. Yan Yong said: "Since you said so, I will save trouble, I was still thinking about how to open my mouth to you, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to take it yourself." "Quick Dao Liu" said with an ugly face: "Why are you here to calculate me." ”
Yan Yong smiled and said, "Brother Liu, don't you say it so ugly." Why are we all embarrassed to do things for the 'Chief', and besides, the benefits of the 'Chief' are even less. ”
As soon as Yan Yong said this, "Quick Dao Liu", his face softened slightly, and he said to Yan Yong: "Say, what do you want me to do?" Yan Yong smiled and said to "Kuaidao Liu": "'Lord Chief' means that you will lead this lord of the house to our path. Hearing this, "Quick Knife Liu" jumped up and said: "You can do this kind of work for me, and I will go to hell after I die." ”
Yan Yong got up with a smile and pressed the "Quick Knife Liu" on the stone bench and said: "Brother Liu, you are good at everything, but you like to think about the bad in everything, and you have to think about the good and look at the distance in everything. If you lead this lord of the house into this way, will he still hold a grudge against you when he enjoys the pleasure of power? Thank you that it's too late. "Kuaidao Liu" sat on the stone bench indifferently after hearing this, and Yan Yong had no choice but to continue to play his three-inch incorruptible tongue and said: "You don't think about yourself, you have to think about this big family, think about the dog." When the time comes, you will have to take care of such a big family. The big tree is good for the shade, but you have to take good hold of this tree. Okay, I'm done with that, and I have to go back to the palace and talk back like 'Lord Chief'." ”
Hearing Yan Yong say so much, "Quick Dao Liu" said with some emotion: "I hope I did it right." "Trust me, you can't be wrong." After Yan Yong finished speaking, he went back to the palace.
Jin Ying didn't sleep all night for Xuanzong's business, and finally waited until dawn to come to Xianfu Palace. "You guys are all neat, you have to clean inside and outside the palace, you can't leave dead corners, you know?"
Zhi Yao summoned a group of palace maids and eunuchs to clean the Xianfu Palace. "Zhiyao, you're busy." Jin Ying stood at the door and called out to Zhiyao in the palace, Zhiyao turned around and saw Jin Ying standing at the door and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "'Lord Chief' What kind of wind brought you here, the slave maid hasn't seen you for a while." "As far as your mouth is poor, didn't I come to see it?" Jin Ying said to Zhi Yao with a smile.
"The slave has thanked the 'Chief' for his concern, and my lord, let's go in and have a cup of tea." After speaking, he led the way, "You all sprinkle some water when you clean, and you see dust everywhere." There are also wiping things when wring out the cloth, otherwise there will be traces on it, wipe the bronze, antique calligraphy and paintings, you must remember not to get wet. Zhiyao led the way while telling the palace maids and little eunuchs who were working.
Jin Ying nodded with satisfaction and said, "To say, the most capable person in this palace belongs to our Yao girl." Zhiyao shook his head again and again and said: "How can I compare with the 'Chief' with one acre and three points of land, you are in charge of the three palaces and six courtyards, and you have to work inside and outside the palace." The slave is really ashamed compared to you. Jin Ying listened to Haha and said: "You girl has a sweet mouth and can speak well, and she is likable." ”
"'Lord Chief,' the slave will pour you a cup of tea." Zhiyao sat Jin Ying down and poured him a glass of water, "'Lord Chief', is there something wrong with you coming over early in the morning?" Zhiyao asked, Jin Ying put down the teacup in his hand and said, "It's really a bit of a problem, is the concubine Niangniang up?" Kim Young asked. Zhiyao said to Jin Ying: "I haven't gotten up just now, I guess I should get up now." I'll go in and see, 'Chief,' you're here for a while. ”
Jin Ying said: "Hey, that's bothering you." If the concubine hasn't gotten up yet, it doesn't matter, I'll wait here for a while, so I don't have to disturb the mother's rest. "Hey, the slave knows." Zhiyao turned around and entered the inner hall of Xianfu Palace.
Sun Guifei had already woken up at this time and leaned lazily on the soft couch, thinking about what to do for a while, thinking about whether to go to the imperial garden for a walk or to talk to the other concubines, thinking about it, she saw Zhiyao walk in.
"Mother, why don't you sleep for a while, is it that they are working outside and disturbing you? I'll ask them to tap you to sleep a little longer. Zhiyao said to Sun Guifei, stepped forward and pulled the quilt covering Sun Guifei's body upwards.
Sun Guifei said: "It's not, it's that the palace itself can't sleep and it has nothing to do with them." Bengong was still thinking about whether to go to the Imperial Garden or go to the other concubines. Zhiyao, where should you go to this palace? "Concubine Sun likes to ask Yao about everything.
Zhiyao said: "Niangniang, I'm afraid you won't be able to go." Sun Guifei asked in surprise, "Why is this?" Zhiyao said to Sun Guifei: "The 'Chief' asked to see him outside, saying that he had something to discuss. "Oh, in that case, you should serve the palace and get up and wash." When Concubine Sun Guifei heard that Jin Ying was out asking to see her, she got up.
"Yu'er, you go and tell the 'Chief' that Niangniang is already up and is washing, you ask him to wait for a while." Zhiyao said to the palace maid named Yu'er beside her, and Yu'er listened to the order and went out to the outer hall and said to Jin Ying: "'Lord Chief' Niangniang has already gotten up and is washing up, and will come out after a while." "Don't worry, I'll be out of the way for a while." Jin Ying said to Yu'er, who saluted Jin Ying and returned to the inner hall.
In about a quarter of an hour, Sun Guifei came to the outer hall accompanied by Zhiyao, Jin Ying got up and said: "The slave maid asks for peace to the concubine Niangniang, and the concubine Niangniang Jin An." "Everything is fine in this palace, thank you for your concern." Sun Guifei said to Jin Ying.
"The slave maid came to disturb the concubine today because she wanted to get her mother's help." Jin Ying told Sun Guifei what she meant.
"Oh? If there is anything that can stump the 'Chief', if this palace can help, I will definitely help the 'Chief'. Sun Guifei was a little surprised, what could stump the dignified celebrant and the chief eunuch.
"The concubine must be able to help in this matter, and it must be the concubine." Jin Ying said categorically, "In that case, this palace is willing to hear what is going on first." Sun Guifei said curiously, Jin Ying told Sun Guifei about Xuanzong.
