One hundred and forty-three rats eat silver candles
The dizziness passed, and I covered myself under the covers, especially to cover the top of my head, revealing only a pair of eyes.
I didn't touch it for dinner, just drank a glass of milk. Aunt Mei looked at me and sighed.
My aunt came in with a smile and her hot hand holding my little face: "Scared? ”
There were still tears on my face, she wiped them with her fingers, and said, "I lock you up every day, and I can't see a few people, but I have raised my guts." From the first day of the next month, go back to the study to pay it. ”
I let out a glutinous "um".
Ah Qiu also came in, also sat on the edge of the bed, and stroked me through the quilt: "Isn't my sister always the most daring, the wicked deserve to be punished, don't be afraid." ”
I said "um" again.
Ah Qiu rolled his eyes and asked, "Auntie, the cost of purchasing the skin condensation cream should not be treasury silver, but you made it up yourself?"
My aunt said, "Yes." Someone set up this game, and there will be some price to pay for breaking the game. ”
"Oh, yes. Several people colluded to take away 300 taels and blamed you on the head. ”
My aunt smiled and sighed: "The so-called blame, isn't that. ”
Ah Qiu still held a tone of dispunity: "How did you know early in the morning that the money was taken away from the head in the form of chilblain cream?" Obviously, on the day the account was closed, Tang Si's account was temporarily made. At that time, he lied to me that the hair slip was accidentally caught somewhere else, and he found it. ”
My aunt said: "Well, every year in this month, you should pay for winter clothes, buy winter goods, and check which of the warehouses is short, and you will almost know." ”
Ah Qiu pouted: "Buying winter goods is supposed to be done by the warehouse supervisor, and it is not too blunt to put it on my aunt's head." ”
My aunt sneered: "It's also common sense to start digging up deficits from small objects to test the waters." ”
Ah Qiu snorted: "Today, they coerced and seduced me to slander my aunt, which is really scary." At the end of the words, he began to cry.
My aunt patted her gently: "It's all over." Then he looked at me and taught: "After this, you sisters should understand that you must trust your aunt in everything, and you must not hide it from her." The personnel in the palace are dangerous and treacherous, do you understand the importance of unity now? ”
Ah Qiu and I nodded in unison: "Understood." ”
My aunt used both hands to hold me and Aqiu's heads, and twisted the skin on the back of one person's neck with one hand, so that we both cried in pain without losing our hands.
"Do you really understand?"
We both squeaked and screamed, "I really understand, I really understand." ”
Only then did my aunt let go: "This counts as a guarantee, my aunt wrote it down." ”
"Alright, I'm tired today, so I'll go to bed early." My aunt rubbed our necks, looked back and forth, and got up and went out.
On the first day of the ninth month, when I returned to the Manna Hall for the first time in three months, I was shocked by the scene in front of me.
Silver Candle!
On the large and small candlesticks, the candlesticks shaped like coral trees, all the candles have been replaced by silver candles from the previous yellow candles!
"Ah, this?"
The palace maid Xiaoshu hasn't seen me for a long time, and she pulled me and didn't let go: "This is a silver candle specially provided for the queen by the "Inner Gift", which is very easy to use!" It's more expensive than the red candles and yellow candles that Shang Sleep Bureau has always made! How much else is smoky, this one is completely different. It is brighter, the flames are still moist, and the taste is much more fragrant! ”
My scalp was numb: "Then this wax oil, what kind of oil do you have to figure out......"
Xiaoshu raised his eyebrows: "What kind of oil can that be?" Butter and mutton fat, the most expensive is nothing more than whale fat. ”
"It's human oil!"
A sound behind me scared me.
The emperor walked over with a smile, and when he saw my changed color, he smiled: "Look at this coward!" ”
Xiaoshu echoed: "Yes, yes, why are you trembling now?" ”
My fingers grabbed the hem of my shirt and said, "Don't be kidding, saint, maybe, it's really a human ......."
He grinned: "I'm not kidding, if any of you make a mistake, I'll catch you and boil wax oil." ”
Cui Changshou on the side said teasingly: "Ouch, that old slave can be more careful, don't dare to make mistakes." I'm fat, and I have to boil out more wax and oil than these girls! ”
"Hahaha."
The Manna Hall burst into laughter.
In addition to me, there is also a little eunuch who is not smiling. I pulled out his dark expression and glanced at me secretly, his eyes like wolves hiding in a hidden place. I felt the danger approaching like a thorn in my back.
"What are you laughing at?"
A plump beauty appeared at the door.
It turned out to be Zhang Cainu. Oh, he's Zhang Cairen now.
The emperor happily went to pick up the child who had just reached the full moon in her arms: "Ouch, quickly call Aya to hug." ”
The child's eyes were bright, and the lower eyelid was an obvious lying silkworm, and his complexion was dark, darker than that of the emperor.
I saluted her with the other ladies and went back to my study and began to tinker with the candles on my desk. The top layer of silver was scraped off, and the wax inside was rubbed on the tips of the fingers, which was really delicate.
When I smelled it, it turned out to be vanilla!
My God, for a while, I have a big appetite and miss the mellow aroma of vanilla ice cream!!
I leaned closer, feeling the urge to take a bite of the candle. At this time, I heard a sentence: "But the stupid disease has been committed again, and the little rabbit has become a little mouse, eating candles and drinking lamp oil?" ”
I took a sharp breath: "Auntie, you said that rats eat candles?" ”
"yes, what?"
I suddenly realized: "I have suffered, that old Daoist, you are talking about Chen Daochang, he may have raised strange mice, and...... And enshrine "Half Cut Kannon"! ”
My aunt poked me in the head: "What nonsense? Who is the half-cut Guanyin. ”
I hurriedly explained: "It's a legendary rat spirit." Then, I quietly told my aunt what I had seen and heard after I fell into the incense of the old way.
And said: "This silver candle may be the rat's favorite food, and it is supplied to the Manna Hall alone, maybe in order to attract rats, there will be another plague." ”
My aunt smiled: "Do you think that the palace people are all idle meals?" Don't say it's the Ganlu Palace, no rats can enter from the Ganlu Gate. ”
"Don't think about it. As for Nachen Dao Chang, this person's way of coming is already mysterious. Hugh will tell others what you have just said. ”
I nodded obediently.
As soon as the wind passed through the hall, the door of the study was blown open.
I casually raised my eyes and watched.
I saw a man in a green gauze shirt appear with the wind. fluttering, by the summer green Feifei. Gu Panmu, flowing spring water tea.
The immortals come to the purple court.
His complexion is very clear, his jade appearance is snowy, and his eyebrows are like mountains.
Rong Rong strolled over, and when he got closer, the silver tooth opened lightly: "Waiter girl, take out the colored ink, and make a volume of graffiti for the saint." ”
I took out a pen and paper and drew on him. He politely thanked him, sat down at the other end of the bookcase, raised his sleeves and exposed his wrists, pointed at the wolf's pen, and sketched on the rice paper.
I looked at him with my cheeks pinched, full of curiosity. Wonderful people paint, and it becomes another wonderful work.
Seeing that his painting skills are skillful, the pen is divine, and between the clouds and flowing water, a pair of twin geese shooting geese is swayed. He studied the painting and added a few strokes to make it vivid.
It's done, and look at his satisfied face, as if he has not increased or decreased. He pressed the painting with a ruler and asked me: "I will ask you to take care of it for me, don't let others move." When the ink is completely dry tomorrow, I'll get it again in the next day. ”
I blinked, admiring the "beauty" in front of me, and teased him, "That's not good." ”
Looking at the painting again, it turned out to be two men, one square and the other slender, so I smiled slyly: "You are painting yourself and the saint, right?" Hahaha. It's good everywhere else, it's just ......"
Halfway through speaking, I deliberately stopped, covered my mouth and laughed.
He looked embarrassed, bowed to me lightly with his crossed hands, and said, "Please." It was a temporary idea of the saint and ordered him to draw it immediately. Otherwise, it is convenient for the building to be drawn and then submitted. ”
I pursed my lips and nodded, "Okay, okay, let's go." ”
As soon as he went out, I couldn't hold back the bad laugh I couldn't hold, and I slapped the table with laughter. Then with a smile and tears, he dipped his pen in purple color and dotted a few dots on the emperor's face in the painting.
Aha, the emperor's thousand-year-old acne face, if this reddish-purple acne is not carefully added, wouldn't the painting be distorted! I also mean well, you will understand!
As a result, the matter went into a small climax the next day.
The two came to see the painting together, and when the emperor began to appreciate it with a smile, he saw that the expression changed from joy to anger, and then from anger to grievance.
This...... How is it a bit like an angry little daughter-in-law!
The beautiful man hurriedly took the painting and looked at it, then glared at me angrily, and quickly threw it out.
I stuck out the tip of my tongue at him and asked Xiaoshu with a small mouth, "Who is this person?" Live like a servant in Tsing Yi. ”
Xiao Shu winked at me: "The secretary and supervisor of the Shaoqing, the saint is newly sealed." It's about the same as your lord's name, you know. ”
I exaggerated my lip sync: "Huh? **? ”
Xiao Shu pulled the corners of his mouth: "The south wind is good, and now, it has become fashionable." ”
"How did you meet?"
Xiaoshu looked around:
"This has to start from seven days ago, the saint went to the newly built Ximing Temple."
