Chapter 08: Daigo Empowerment
In the afternoon, when Aunt Su Xiao took the two of us to the Shanggong Bureau to meet Jiang Shanggong, I found that I was already a man of the hour.
Along the way, it can be described as "infinite scenery", and the palace officials and palace people I met all stared at me, and their expressions were intriguing. If there was a few people who didn't know why, she immediately gathered an interpreter by her side and gave me a brief introduction. I don't want to introduce it for too long, but I want to leave more eyes on my body to "pay respects", phew! Look at me from top to bottom!
Is everyone's spare time barren to such a state? Not to mention that in ancient times, there was no communication equipment and the transmission was underdeveloped, this plague-type chewing tongue root transmission can not only bring you the latest palace mystery stories, but also "icing on the cake" for reprocessing, so as to make the story more credible.
cough, embroidery and practice calligraphy, isn't it good to look for a hobby?
If someone jumps out at this time and accuses me of acting in a high-profile manner, and everyone knows about it just half a day after entering the palace, then I am really wronged by Dou E......
Shanggong Bureau is the highest specification building in the entire Yeting Palace, located in the center of the central axis. The single eaves rest on the top of the mountain, the main ridge is decorated with boiling fish beads, and the wing angles are like flying. The dark green glass covers the top, shining brightly.
We slowly walked into the main hall, the brown wood floor was smooth and smooth, and the interior was well-decorated. In front of the screen, Jiang Shanggong sat on the top and was laughing and talking with another palace official on the left hand side.
When he saw us come in, he said in a deep voice. Aunt Su motioned for the two of us to salute, and I learned to flutter the apple on the ground and saluted, and my knee really hurt a little.
The last time I made such a big gift was when I went back to the countryside to visit my grandfather's grave more than ten years ago......
For those who are slightly older, their voices seem to have become thick and bright: "Which one is called Fan Yusu, look up and show me." ”
All of a sudden, I felt like someone was grabbing my tail, "Again?" He could only smile with a smile that he didn't recognize: "If you go back to Shanggong, it's a little girl." ”
"Oh? I heard that you have just entered the palace for half a day and have become famous, and there was a recommendation from the left minister before, and now there is a jade gift from the concubine. I'm going to test you to see if you're really ice and snow smart, or if you're pretentious. ”
Shang Gong spread his left palm: "Then tell me, which one on my left is the twenty-four division?" ”
I took a cold breath, and the horror in my heart must have been on my brow.
Isn't that embarrassing? If you show your legs, I need to know what kind of bird you are?
Jiang Shanggong added: "If the answer is correct, it's fine." If the answer is wrong, the Shanggong Bureau is afraid that it will not be able to keep such a clever person, I have to discuss with Aunt Su whether to send you to Yongxiang to do some rough work. ”
As she spoke, I watched the master as fast as I could, and if I did this every day, my head would burn out sooner or later.
Twenty-four Divisions, since they sent me to see Jiang Shanggong, it is naturally the fourth division of the Shanggong Bureau, and the remaining twenty divisions are excluded.
Si Bo Si, the name of the head of the palace is registered and rewarded. Then this belongs to the archivist, you need to be very good at calligraphy, not me. And there is no cocoon on the right finger of the manager. Exclude!
Si Yu Si, the matter of the cabinet key of the palace gate. This is one of the jobs of the security department, and I have no real power, and the joints are blocked, so the prime minister will not place me here. Exclude!
The next two need to be weighed carefully!
Si Ji Division, holding all kinds of big seals. All the official documents of the various departments in the palace will be printed after review, and then granted.
Si Yan Division, in charge of propaganda and initiation. Each garden in the harem should be promoted and degraded, rewarded and punished, and any emperor's will should be read out. And during the New Year's holidays, the foreign women enter the palace to congratulate the queen of the middle palace, all of which are passed on by Si Yan.
What Xiang Ye wants should be a link between the former dynasty and the harem!
I looked up at the boss again, and looked at her lips. But when he saw that her red lips were full, and her lips were fuller, he was sure that she was a man of great words.
My heart settled, so I turned to the right steadily, and said, "Say hello to Lord Si Yan." ”
In the afterglow, the corners of their mouths went up. The three adults next to him all looked at each other and smiled.
"This seat was supposed to test you, but I didn't expect you to be quite perceptive."
Aunt Su smiled: "Then you are really scared of this child, I don't think she has anything special, I think it's just a few times of good luck." ”
Oh my God, sure enough, it was Aunt Su Xiao who understood me the most.
The corners of Jiang Shanggong's lips twitched, and he half-smiled and half-sighed: "You! It still hasn't changed at all. ”
He looked at Si Yan again: "Who is there a vacancy in the division?" ”
"Back to Shang Palace, in the lawsuit, there is still a lack of seven-grade classics. This woman's qualifications are competent, and she can take on it with a little teaching. ”
Then his eyes turned to Apple: "It's this other little girl, I want to ask you what you're good at?" ”
Apple went straight to the point: "Back to the adult, the little girl can write, and she has read a few books." I have helped the family to settle the accounts but the little girl doesn't love this, you see what you put in me, I can learn. ”
I could see the joy on their faces, too. Xu is seven tricks to see too much, suddenly met a frank, after this moment, it is inevitable to be unmoved!
"Then start with the female history, take charge of the department's documents, and be her assistant if the dictionary needs it."
After that, Apple and I bowed again, which was an official visit to the Chief. and signed and signed all kinds of snowflakes of paperwork before the formalities were completed.
At this point, the matter of the report is over.
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
In the afternoon of this day, when there was no errand arranged, the man was sleepy and wanted to go out to wake up.
Unconsciously went up to the Anqing gatehouse, and then strolled up the narrow city wall.
This door is not open all year round, because it is the junction of the court and the inner palace, there are no guards here, and I am alone alone. As I walked, I slid my fingers over the hard bluestone railing, which was cold.
The leaves were thin and shriveled like an old man's hand. But they do not have the blessing of returning to their roots, and once they fall, they are picked up by the official maid who is responsible for sprinkling and sweeping.
The sky is still dark, and the breeze is not cold.
For ten days, everything was suddenly quiet, as quiet as the momentum before the storm.
Sure enough, something came a moment later.
Xu is too distracted to look at the railing, and he doesn't know when he is standing next to him.
Until he opened his mouth leisurely: "Lord Dianyan, the little one is polite." I came back to my senses and almost dropped my jaw from his jaw.
I exclaimed, "Are you a ghost? Are you looking for my life? ”
The little chamberlain didn't say a word, only covered his mouth and smiled. I saw that he was born very white and pure, with some feminine beauty. In my cognitive consciousness, the boundary between femininity and sissy is clearer.
"What's your name? So what's going on? "I learned Liu Siyan's tone of being an official.
Unexpectedly, he clasped his palms lightly: "By the way, our family is waiting for Dian Yan to ask this question." Think about it, what is our family called? ”
I looked at his face again and again: "This official and you have never known each other." ”
He smiled, his eyebrows shining: "In the burden that Zuo Xiangye gave you, what is embroidered on that thin brocade quilt?" ”
My head suddenly flashed to the picture of the night I entered the palace, and Xiangye patted my furoshiki, and said without a head or tail: "Snow is easy, but Luo Ji is rare." ”
My eyebrows tufted: "Deer? Your surname is Deer? ”
"Yes, our family's name is Lu Youming." When he speaks, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and his lips are as colored as rouge.
In fact, the embroidery on the brocade quilt is absolutely unique in this era. I often wake up before going to bed and look at the lifelike sika deer, wondering why Zuo Xiang didn't use such a wonderful embroidery pattern to make a screen for people to see, but to make a quilt that can be rubbed by others.
I immediately looked left and right, for fear of being seen, and lowered my voice and said, "Does Xiangye have anything to convey?" ”
The inner servant was solemn: "When the fire broke out tonight, a noble person summoned him in Shujing Palace. ”
With that, he interrupted my questioning with a solemn expression, bowed, and walked away a few steps on his hind legs.
My heart beat on and off for hours.
The thought of a man-made fire and an unknown mission made it tasteless to eat and uncomfortable to sit on.
Fortunately, near the end of the month, all the female histories of the Shanggong Bureau, regardless of rank or not, went to the treasury to count the documents and proofread the books. So that the number of people in the dormitory was very small, so that my anxiety did not appear before anyone else.
The time points to seven o'clock in the evening. This season, the sky has completely sunk, and the moon has risen, and the high walls of the deep house have pulled out dark shadows, and the place that is illuminated by the moonlight is in court.
The birds have not yet returned to the south, they have all returned to their nests, and a few sparse chirps in the past seem to melt into the dreamland. And today, it is getting louder and louder, as if it is proclaiming that it knows secrets that others do not know.
The leaves were quiet, and the window paper was not moved, but the birds on the big tree in the courtyard suddenly flapped their wings and flew away, followed by the shouts of the sky, and the voices gradually boiled: "Go to the water!" The temple of manna is gone! ”
The Temple of Manna? Isn't that the emperor's bedroom? Zuo Xiang actually dared to order the emperor?
I forced my heart to collapse as I rushed through the crowd.
Obviously, in order to avoid suspicion, he ordered me to tell me to go against the grain at this time, and choose to talk in Shujing Palace, which is very close to the fire......
Entering the inner city through the Jiayou Gate from Yeting Chang Street, and then passing through the Thousand Steps Corridor, the road was full of water trucks coming and going to extinguish fires and countless palace people holding buckets and basins, stumbling, crowded, and chaotic.
The heat wave generated by the flames could already be felt by the body, and the majestic and handsome manna hall burned to the top of the eaves at such a fast speed in the windless weather. Like being devoured by a red dragon, the tongue of fire soared into the sky, and the dome of the imperial city had been reflected in an orange-red! The black dust that had been burned began to fall one after another, and the people who were gradually choking coughed and gagged, and I had to cover my face with a handkerchief and speed up my pace.
Suddenly, a runaway water wheel next to me, as if the bearing was broken, crooked and still not controlled, stabbed and poked at me. I hurriedly retracted my legs and turned around, but I collided with a person holding a bucket in my arms, and the bucket was tilted, and half a bucket of water was splashed directly, and in an instant, the cold well water simply poured me a spirit!
I wiped a handful of water from my face, so that I could open my eyes and glare, and then taunt or scold the street as I could, but! This pouring was like an initiation, and it suddenly made me sober up!
There are two roads in front of me!
First, after the thousand-step corridor, turn left is the Guizhen Temple, slip the root of the courtyard wall and turn left, it is the gravel path straight into the Shujing Palace.
And the other one, why don't I take advantage of the chaos and run away?
