Chen Mo has the impression of an old man in his memory, surnamed Feng, called Feng Yuan, is Feng Bao's cronies, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch (slightly inferior to Bingbi, such as the last minister of the cabinet, the officials of various ministries), and the eunuch who receives the title of the eunuch of the Salary Division, in the entire eunuch system, belongs to the top level.

The Salary Saving Division is one of the four divisions (Salary Saving Division, Bell and Drum Division, Treasure Money Division, and Mixed Hall Division) among the 24 yamen of eunuchs, and is in charge of the salary and carbon consumption used in the palace. During the Zhengde period, Liu Jin, the master of ceremonies, was in power for a while, and even gave the salary department the function of a special agent, called the inner factory, and the power overrode the east factory and the west factory, and it was glorious for a while. Although the scenery is no longer there, it is still the yamen that countless people dream of.

Some people may not understand, but the status of a yamen in charge of charcoal can be so important?

It is necessary to explain here that the temperature in Beijing in winter is very low, and in order to keep out the cold, all the places where the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress live, as well as the places where the princes, grandchildren, princesses, concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs live, all use charcoal to warm the kang and stove. The smoker mentioned in "Dream of Red Mansions" burns charcoal.

According to the "Ming and Qing Dynasties Palace Construction History Map", the Ming Dynasty harem used 26.86 million catties of charcoal every year - although the matter of salary carbon is small, in the harem, it is an indispensable material, and the officials who send the salary carbon must deliver it to the door and reach the inner court. Therefore, the palm print of the salary division is known as the brand of close servants, and its importance is self-evident.

"It seems that the old guy is also a clever person, knowing that Zhu Yijun dotes on Zheng Shufei, he came over to talk to him personally." Chen Mo muttered secretly, no need to ask, on the carriage, there must be good charcoal.

"Humble Zheng Youde, I've seen Gonggong Feng!"

"That's it, such a big gift, our family can't afford it!" Feng Yuan's tone was yin and yang.

Chen Mo felt a little weird, and seeing that Feng Yuan didn't pay attention to him, he stepped back a little and watched coldly.

"This is the charcoal you wanted, two big carts, and our family has sent it. Gonggong Zheng, can you check it out? ”

"No need, no need," Zheng Youde waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile on his face: "Just let the next person do these things, it's a snowy day, and I bother Grandpa Feng to run it in person, it's really ......."

"Our family doesn't want to go out in this weather, but some people chew their tongues, and when the time comes, Long Live Lord will blame it, and our family can't afford to eat it." Feng Yuanpi said with a smile, looked around as he spoke, and said in a strange voice: "In the snowball fight at night, the concubine is a good tutor...... Mother......

As he spoke, his body suddenly stiffened, his smile narrowed, his mouth opened wide, his eyes widened, and he had a hellish expression.

Chen Mo was surprised, followed his line of sight, and found that the green-clothed girl who had just spoken was looking at this side with a smile, thinking of the last "Niangniang" he called, and couldn't help but be stunned: Isn't this person Zheng Shuconcubine?

I saw that the girl in green suddenly stuck out her tongue: "Let Gonggong Feng laugh...... The weather is too cold, and the charcoal in the palace is burned again, so it is only when you move around that your body is warm. We are from a small family, and when we were at home before, we couldn't stand the cold, so our mother let us run two laps in the yard......"

"Is it at home, can it be the same as the palace?" Feng Yuan suddenly interrupted the girl's words, and said, "You are the concubine of the emperor, so you don't know your own respect, wouldn't it make people laugh if you spread it?" ”

Sure enough, it's Zheng Shufei!

What ...... Feng Yuan's tone in? Chen Mo was a little confused.

"Isn't it just a snowball fight, and there are jokes?" Zheng Shufei pursed her lips, looking dissatisfied, but she was cute and cute.

"Of course!" Feng Yuan said affirmatively: "The people are not sensible, and it is forgivable to play, don't forget your identity, as the concubine of the emperor, you should set an example for them...... Now that our family has sent the carbon, today's matter, our family power didn't see it, so we quickly dispersed. Also, when there is a shortage of salary carbon in the future, Niangniang doesn't need to notify the celebrant of the teacher, and directly send someone to the salary department to find our family. Leave! ”

After Feng Yuan finished speaking, he bowed his hand to Zheng Shufei, bent his body slightly, straightened up, turned around and left, his attitude was extremely arrogant.

"Let's just say that you should go to the Salary Division, you want to go to the celebrant supervisor, now it's okay, Gonggong Feng is angry, right?" Zheng Shufei walked over and said worriedly to Zheng Youde.

Zheng Youde spat and scolded in the direction where Feng Yuan left, then turned around and said angrily to Zheng Shufei: "Niangniang is too kind-hearted, everyone has been bullied, and you still speak for him...... The salary carbon consumption in the palace is customized, and we lack carbon in the palace for three days, and the salary division does not send it, it is clear that the old guy sees that the emperor loves you and takes revenge on you for his master. Don't believe it, if the old slave hadn't sued the celebrant today, this charcoal would never have been delivered tonight - this kind of person bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, kicking his nose in the face, he just can't get used to it! ”

Listening to Zheng Youde's words, Chen Mo finally understood. But I heard Zheng Shufei say again: "It's not as serious as you said, right?" Didn't you say that Grandpa Feng is the queen's mother, how good the queen's mother is, treat us well, Grandpa Feng can't ......"

"Okay, our mother," Zheng Youde interrupted Zheng Shufei, and stomped her feet as if hatred of iron could not become steel: "Why don't you understand?" Just now that the emperor is so fond of you, who is not jealous of the ladies of the palace? If there is no queen mother behind Feng Yuan's back, with him as a minion, dare to treat you with such a face? ”

"Not much, right?" Zheng Shufei muttered in a low voice, her innocent appearance was far from the ambitious Concubine Zheng in Chen Mo's impression.

He didn't feel that Zheng Shufei was pretending, but just sighed at the cruelty of fate, cruelly turning such a kind and innocent girl into a scheming and ambitious woman step by step, which was criticized by countless descendants.

What kind of experience made her make such a big change?

Chen Mo suddenly thought of her ending, and sighed secretly: This is just a poor woman!

"Gonggong Zheng's words are right, the hearts of people in this palace are very complicated, and there are more people in the face and behind the scenes. Niangniang is too kind by nature, and she needs to think twice when she encounters something, so don't let people be blinded! ”

"You think so, too?" Zheng Shufei looked at Chen Mo curiously: "I heard you say just now that you are the Fengyu of the Qianqing Palace, how can you look at it like this?" ”

"The villain was originally a small fire on Gao Zhong's mansion, and Long Live Lord was promoted to the Fengyu of the Qianqing Palace today, and the mother naturally saw the villain's face." Chen Mo explained with a smile, and then said: "I didn't recognize Niangniang just now, it's rude, don't blame Niangniang, the villain gave you a gift." As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed, and his attitude was very upright.

"You can't be Chen Mo, right?" Zheng Youde suddenly interjected.

Chen Mo happened to finish the salute, got up with a smile, and bowed to Zheng Youde again: "It's a humble position!" ”
