Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Division of Benevolence
The three of them came out of Xianfu Palace and rushed to the Siyuan Bureau "non-stop", entered the main gate, put things gently in the backyard, and then came to the sleeping house, "Why is the door closed?" Zhuanghu said, Chun'an said: "No, the door is hidden on weekdays, why is it closed today?" As he spoke, he went up and pushed it.
Chun'an shook his head in disappointment and said, "It's really been bolted from the inside." Qingyu said worriedly: "What can I do, it's impossible to spend the night outside so cold." ”
"By the way, I have a way for you to come with me." Chun'an said and led Qingyu and the others to another room.
"Huh? Isn't this the house of Liu's treasury? Qingyu said suspiciously, "Yes, the only way to do this is to disturb Liu's treasury." Chun'an said, "The light is still on in the room, I'm afraid I haven't slept yet." Qingyu said.
Chun'an stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, and Liu Treasury, who was in the house, said, "Who?" Chun'an said softly: "Liu Treasury, it's me Chun'an." In the house, Liu Kufang said: "Oh, it's Chun'an, you will open the door for you later." ”
Liu Treasury limped open the door, and Chun'an hurriedly bowed down and said, "Liu Treasury, there is really no way to be forced to come and disturb for a night. Zhuanghu and Qingyu also hurriedly bowed down and said, "Excuse me, excuse me." ”
"It's cold outside, come in." Liu Kufang opened the door and the three mermaids entered, "Come, have a cup of tea to warm up." Liu Kufang picked up the teapot on the table and poured water into the teacup, and the three of them got up and greeted them and thanked them repeatedly.
"Chun'an, what's going on with you guys?" Liu Kufang asked, and Chun'an said: "Hey, it's hard to say anything, I went to Xianfu Palace to do some work and missed the hour unconsciously." Then he said embarrassedly, "So I'm going to stay with you for one night." ”
Liu Kufang said with a smile: "I don't have any extra bed, but there are a lot of quilts, so if you don't dislike it, you can spread it on the floor." Chun'an, Qingyu, and Zhuanghu said in unison: "Don't dislike, don't dislike." ”
"Looking at the tired faces on your faces, it must be a busy day, I won't be here, you should quickly spread the quilt and rest." Liu Kufang got up and went back to the inner room.
The three of them didn't care about drinking tea, so they quickly took the quilt from the shelf and spread it on the ground near the corner.
"Qingyu, are you cold?" Chun'an asked softly, and Qingyu said, "It's good that I don't feel cold." Then he asked Zhuanghu again, and Zhuanghu did not answer, but let out a deafening snoring sound.
"Knock, knock, knock" There was a piercing gong sound in the Fengyi Pavilion early in the morning, and Caidie woke up from her sleep, and Caidie complained: "Who is this, it's a good dream early in the morning." As he spoke, he rolled over and prepared to go back to sleep.
Outside, the sound of the gong stopped, and then I heard a palace maid say loudly: "Wait until you reach the courtyard within the time of a pillar of incense, otherwise you will go home." "What?" Caidie sat up from the bed, "What did she just say?" Caidie asked in a daze, Qi Qi'er was already dressed and said on the side: "I don't know what she said, but today is the day to enter the palace." ”
"Oops." Caidie was the last to get up and dress, Shaohua habitually pushed open the window but saw a woman crowded with water by the well.
Shaohua said: "It's really bad now, you can't get water, you can't wash your face, you can't put on makeup if you don't wash your face." Qi Qi'er and Caidie came to the window and were also frightened by the sight.
The three of them sat weakly on the stool, and Caidie said, "Why don't you wash it." Shaohua said: "How can this be dirty, let alone entering the palace, even if you don't feel good." ”
"What then?" Qi Qi'er said worriedly, and Shaohua and Caidie couldn't do anything and kept sighing.
"Knock, knock, knock" When the three of them were stunned, the door rang, and Shaohua said: "Qi Qi'er go and open the door, you are closest to the door." Qi Qi'er got up and said impatiently: "Who, don't let people be quiet so early." ”
Qi Qi'er opened the door and saw a large basin of water, first startled and then overjoyed and shouted: "There is salvation, there is salvation." Yunru came back with a basin full of water from outside, and Shaohua and Caidie also happily surrounded them.
Yunru said: "Don't come around, hurry up and get the pot." The three of them put the basin on the ground, and Yunru poured some water for each of them.
After dividing the water, Yunru said: "Don't say anything first, wash your face quickly, and put on makeup, I'm afraid it's too late." "A few people knew that time was short, and they were busy carrying the water on the ground.
"The Hour Road." The palace maid looked at the carved leaky pot on the side and said, "Get out of the way," "Don't squeeze, I'll come first." At this time, there were several women fighting for water by the well, and the palace maid said, "Don't fight, now the time has come for you to wash slowly, and after washing, go home." ”
Looking at the lost appearance of several women, Yunru, Shaohua, Caidie, and Qi Qi'er looked at each other and smiled, this smile contained a thousand words.
"Auntie, everyone is here." The palace maid turned to Qin Yan'e and said, "Hmm." Qin Yan'e nodded to the palace maid.
Qin Yan'e took a step forward and said: "This is very happy to see you standing here, which means that you have taken another step towards the palace, but before entering the palace, this director still has to do a little screening to avoid the appearance of mixed fish and dragons, and indiscriminate fillers." ”
After Qin Yan'e said for a while, she turned to the two people next to her and said, "Ma Siyi and Zhao Siyi will be handed over to the two of you here." The two emcees bowed down and said, "Auntie, don't worry, we will do our best." "Go ahead." Qin Yan'e said that she sat aside and drank tea.
The two emcees came to the open space and glanced at the women, and then stepped forward to sniff with their noses between the necks and shins of the women in the front row, Ma Siyi's exhaled breath sprayed some oxygen on the woman's neck, the woman quickly shrunk her neck and moved a small step to the side, Ma Siyi pulled her face and said loudly: "Stand up for me." The woman stood back to where she was.
This time, Ma Siyi used his hand to go between the woman's neck and shins, and then leaned in to smell it. Then let the woman spread her hands and sniff between the armpits on both sides.
Ma Siyi didn't say anything and walked to the next one, and so did Zhao Siyi on the other side.
"You, get out." At this time, Zhao Siyi said to a woman, and the woman said anxiously: "Auntie, why is this?" The little woman didn't understand. Zhao Master of Ceremonies said: "Although your face is as clean as new, it seems to have been washed, but in fact, it is not, this master of ceremonies can definitely say that you are lazy in the morning." ”
The woman said sobly: "Auntie, you really wronged me, the little woman washed her face with water early in the morning, and her makeup didn't dare to be sloppy." Zhao Siyi said with some annoyance: "What a clever one, it seems that this master of ceremonies doesn't put it bluntly, you are going to mess around to the end." Zhao Siyi continued: "The rouge used by Er'er and others two days ago has a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, but today's rouge is mixed with sun-dried osmanthus pollen, and there are no plum blossoms in it. ”
Zhao Siyi pointed to the woman and said, "Your face, neck and shin faintly exude the fragrance of plum blossoms and osmanthus yesterday. Seeing the quibble, the woman had no choice but to plead: "Auntie, the little woman knows that she is wrong, please give me another chance." Zhao Siyi said: "You have been quibbling three or four times, how dare you keep a cunning person like you." And when the master of ceremonies is not angry, you still hurry up and leave. ”
The woman was very angry and "hummed" and threw her sleeves to hide her face, Zhao Siyi didn't look at the woman, and then came to Caidie's side, and first leaned to her neck and sniffed it as before, the hot breath exhaled by Zhao Siyi made Caidie itch and had an urge to run away, but reason told him that she couldn't do this, Caidie gritted her teeth and insisted, and her nails were also deeply caught in the flesh, so that she survived.
Zhao Siyi and Ma Siyi came to Qin Yan'e's side at the same time and said, "Auntie, see if you can move on to the next item." Qin Yan'e didn't speak, just nodded.
Zhao Siyi and Ma Siyi stood separately, Zhao Siyi pointed to the woman in front of him and said, "You take two steps and come here." The woman walked towards Zhao Siyi with small steps according to her words.
"Hmm." Zhao Siyi nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the empty ground with his right hand and said, "Come, stand here at the master of ceremonies." Then another woman walked over, and Zhao Siyi still nodded very satisfied.
But the first woman on Ma Siyi's side was unsatisfactory, I saw that the woman walked over with a generous step, three steps and two steps with her head held high, without the slightest woman's reserve.
Ma Siyi waited for the woman to stand firm and said, "You can go home." Unlike the previous woman, she didn't cry or make trouble, let alone defend herself, so she walked out of the door with her head held high, dry her chest chic, and did not lose the man at all.
By the time the last woman had finished, it was already noon. Qin Yan'e stepped forward and said, "This boss is very happy to see you pass through, and now the gate of the palace has been opened to you. After Qin Yan'e finished speaking, tears of excitement flashed in the eyes of the women in the courtyard.
"Zhao Siyi, Ma Siyi, these newcomers have been handed over to the two of you to bring into the palace, and the head of the company is waiting in the palace." Qin Yan'e said, Zhao Siyi and Ma Siyi said in unison: "Slave, I know." ”
