Chapter 34: Old Grudges
Picking money from the grandson, even the emperor will not speak, and for the chess bonus, the uncle and nephew almost fought in the imperial study, as the saying goes, Jiang is still old and spicy, and in the end, the grandson was still taken by King Cong, Wei Buming was transferred from Beijing or the official demoted to a level, so he could only admit it himself.
Taking a thousand gold from the private treasury This is to cut a piece of meat on Taisun's body, Chen Luo and Xu Xi still remember the angry and ruined appearance when he came back, at that time they were all thinking about spending such a large amount of money for Wei Buming, did Taisun regret it, he knew that he would not save him in the first place.
###
The Luanyi Palace checked until night, and finally let the masters of the palaces go back, but the matter did not come to light.
The little yellow door that brought the iris into Changxin Garden had already committed suicide in his own residence, and the follow-up investigation would not be able to yield results for a while, and the vast majority of the cases in the inner palace were like this, and they were shelved after checking.
Shen Tingnian didn't care about the follow-up at all, but someone used this matter to surrender to her.
Although autumn is in the blink of an eye, the temperature during the day does not drop at all, and the imperial dining room sends herbal tea to relieve the heat, which is said to be a special imperial tribute, that is, only ordinary nobles can enjoy.
Shen Tingnian was lying down, the two palace maids who were holding fans for her stood straight, the room was not hot at all, and the cleaning was refreshing, and the fragrance of melons and fruits on the table was faint, unlike the messy fragrance of other palaces.
She made a 'clean and innocent' remark in Luanyi Palace, and the Provincial Government raised the regulations of Changxinyuan by several levels, and re-equipped two palace maids, two grandmothers, four eunuchs, and even added a lot of examples.
"This tea is very refreshing."
Hu Yuchun drank half a cup of tea, relieved his restlessness, embroidered a fan of the handkerchief, and his hot face slowly recovered, Shen Tingnian saw her movements, and quietly glanced sideways at Min Yun, who immediately got up and took the jade fan of the first palace, and whispered a few words to the man.
The palace stood up and fanned Hu Yuchun as well.
And the smile on Hu Yuchun's face was a little more real, "It's a little boring left and right, why don't you accompany you in the next game?" ”
Since she came to the door to ask for a meeting, and told Shen Tingnian that the mastermind behind framing her was the grandson of Yanxiu Palace, Zhaoyi Shu, Shen Tingnian saw her, that is, she accepted her surrender, she often came to the door, her heart can be seen, the old saying is good: a single filament is difficult to form a line, and multiple people can always help the point, but Shen Tingnian didn't expect anyone to help her, Min Yun asked her why she was befriending this beauty from a small portal with no background, she only said casually, she couldn't talk about friendship, but it was just a friend and not an enemy.
However, what really moved Shen Tingnian was that she thought that Hu Yuchun would be depressed and would eventually drown in the quagmire of the deep palace silently, but she didn't.
Shen Tingnian actually didn't have the energy to play chess, but he couldn't sleep, and he was tired and bored.
Half a cup of tea, the outcome of a game has been decided.
"You're very good at chess." Shen Tingnian played with the white child in his hand, and his jade hand was slender, almost as smooth as white jade.
"It's not as good as half a point for my mother." Hu Yuchun shook his head, it was the first time he lost so quickly, he stopped, and said casually, "The most exquisite chess skill in this harem is the crown princess, and it is said that her master is the most powerful chess player in Da Zhou." ”
Shen Tingnian didn't know about this, and looked at her with some interest, and the latter understood, so he naturally said a few words.
Although Hu Yuchun entered the palace no earlier than her, but because of his low status, he got along well with the palace maids, so he naturally listened to and saw a lot, which is also the reason why Shen Tingnian would drink tea and play chess with her.
She knew what the two of them were up to, and both wanted to win her over.
"However, now the crown princess is not as good as the grandson, I heard them say that the only one who is on par with the grandson is King Cong, and the apprentice of the church starves to death the master, and King Cong is still half a teacher of the grandson."
With a sigh, Hu Yuchun lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, and then raised his eyes to see Shen Tingnian's expression was stunned, and the white child in his hand accidentally fell and smashed on the table, making a clanging sound.
Taisun's chess skills are not inferior to King Cong...... She remembered that in the second year of Longtai, the 'Qionglin Poetry Case' began with the text case and ended with the chess contest - this incident was the most lively event of that year, which set off a lot of storms, when many famous chess players and famous teachers indignantly reprimanded Wei Chuyun's father, saying that the satirical poems he wrote were simply a great insult to their chess players, and later the grandson personally came forward to deal with this matter and specially held a grand chess competition...... The reason why Shen Tingnian remembers this incident so clearly is because she also participated in that chess competition.
It was also this competition that she remembered the young man who won the championship, and he told Shen Tingnian that he studied under King Cong.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Min Yun shook the fan lightly, and was very keenly aware that Shen Tingnian's face was wrong.
Shen Tingnian shook her head, she unconsciously grabbed back a hand of chess pieces, she must have thought too much, as a grandson, he would not play chess, and he was not short of ten thousand gold.
However, this thought is difficult to dispel, and she remembered that last winter because of the snow disaster in the south, the imperial court issued disaster relief funds, and the treasury was tight, so the emperor ordered the inner palace to delay the payment, but this delay dragged on for more than two months, and finally there was no way Shen Tingnian cheekily begged the grandson to lend her ten taels of silver, and at the moment she opened her mouth, she was sure that she caught a vigilant look in the eyes of the grandson, as if she had accidentally stepped on him, so that he instinctively wanted to jump to his feet.
In the end, the money was coming, and she was pressed by him for a long time, if it wasn't for the forbidden period to protect the body, she was afraid that the skin would have to be scraped off a layer to repay the ten taels of silver.
There is also the palace attendant who recently came to Changxin Garden to pick flowers, saying that he was going to pick all the flowers in the yard on the order of the grandson, and he refused to keep the accounts, obviously planning to pick them for nothing and not give money...... There had never been a debt before, and if it weren't for Taisun's order, they wouldn't have dared to give them courage.
Hu Yuchun noticed that Shen Tingnian was not thinking, so he took the initiative to say goodbye and go back.
Min Yun also sent several newcomers back, she didn't take the initiative to ask more, just waited for Shen Tingnian to figure it out, and naturally spoke.
After half a ring, Shen Tingnian really opened his mouth to tell her something.
"The two new grandmothers, one of them is good to inquire about things, you arrange for her to go to the palaces to walk around, I want to know something about the grandson, especially Longtai three years ago......"
She specially did not say the time point of the second year of Longtai, so that people could not guess her purpose.
Min Yun immediately responded with a smile, but whenever Shen Tingnian was a little concerned about the affairs of her grandson, she was happy to see it.
If she knew that the revenge of winning gold was greater than the sky, Shen Tingnian was looking for revenge...... I probably won't be able to laugh.
