Chapter 308: Family
Without waiting for the Wang family to react, Gu Banqin said to Jia Jinlu on the side: "Go and tell the Inner Court Division, all the palace maids who were originally scheduled to serve outside the Lanyue Palace are all dispersed, and the concubine's eating, drinking, and Lazar are all done by Mrs. Gu, who loves her daughter, and the others are careless, and it is not comfortable to serve the concubine, Mrs. Gu is the biological mother of the concubine, and she must have her own set of methods to serve her daughter, so let's not do much." ”
Gu Banqin's words caused an uproar in Cining Palace - Concubine Xian's move was too ruthless.
Gu Banqin left Cining Palace, feeling that the atmosphere around him was a little wrong, and the palace maids and eunuchs of Cining Palace almost formed a posture of welcome, separated from both sides, and looked at Gu Banqin stupidly, until Gu Banqin walked out completely.
Gu Banqin glanced back and found that there were many palace maids and eunuchs who were still paying attention to her back.
Gu Banqin looked back in wonder: "What's wrong with everyone?" ”
Liu Wu pursed her lips and smiled, and said from Gu Banqin's ear: "Niangniang, what you said just now is really happy, but now I am afraid that the people in the entire palace are infatuated with Niangniang." ”
Gu Banqin put her hand into her sleeve and glanced at the catkins with black lines: "Infatuated? The ...... you use for this word"
Jia Jinlu rarely interjected: "Liu Wu's words are right this time, Niangniang, what you just said really warmed our hearts." ”
Jia Jinlu knew very early that Gu Banqin was a master who treated people with sincerity and would not deliberately demand anything from the minions, but other people didn't know it, and there were many misunderstandings about his own mother.
Therefore, my own mother said so today, and there will definitely be more people who admire my mother in the future, this is what Jia Jinlu wants to see.
"Yes, Niangniang, when you spoke just now, the slave maid was so moved that she wanted to cry." The catkins immediately chimed in.
"It's not that exaggerated." Gu Banqin felt that what she said was quite normal, and turned her head to ask the ninja grass who had been silent: "Do you think so about the ninja grass?" ”
Shinobu nodded to Gu Banqin very seriously: "Well, the slave thinks so too." The mother's words are so heartwarming. In the future, the slave and maid will be a cow and a horse, and they will also repay the kindness of the mother. ”
Even the ninja grass, who is not good at words, said this, Gu Banqin knew that those words should be considered successful, and this time it was really unintentionally inserted into the willows.
After returning to Lihua Palace, Liu Fu and Jia Jinlu have not recovered from the excitement, they are chattering all the way, Gu Banqin got up early today, and he didn't wake up at all, after changing his clothes, he lay down and slept for a while, and he woke up hungry.
After waking up, Liu Wu told her that Red Sleeves and the former Lanyue Hall were waiting for Gu Banqin in the courtyard, and Gu Banqin was stunned: "Wait for me?" What's wrong? ”
"Aunt Red-sleeved said that she wanted to thank Niangniang again, and there were other people too, and they all had to kowtow to Niangniang to thank her."
Qingyun took a comb and combed Gu Banqin's hair: "The slaves and maids look very pitiful, those few who have suffered a lot are only twelve or thirteen-year-old children, and they don't know what to do in the future." ”
After being so seriously injured, I am afraid that it will not be possible to serve the nobles in the palace again, and if it is assigned to the miscellaneous room, it will be even harder.
After Gu Banqin thought about it, she said, "How about letting them out of the palace?" ”
Before Qingyun could speak, Liu Wu shook her head first: "Niangniang, the injured person will not be starved to death in the palace, but if he leaves the palace, it will be difficult to say, everyone has no way to live at home, and they just entered the palace, so they want to eat in the palace." Other slaves and maids don't know, just the little eunuch who was burned his hands and feet, it is said that there are eleven brothers in the family, and his father and mother really can't support him, so they sent him into the palace, so let him go out of the palace, but I am afraid that he will starve to death. ”
Gu Banqin didn't expect this floor, after thinking for a while, when he walked out of the room, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Hey, you can set up a trade union, they will be injured at work, and according to the degree of serious impact, you can compensate as appropriate......"
Gu Banqin's voice was very small, Liu Wu and Qingyun only listened to half of it, and they didn't understand it very well, until Gu Banqin muttered there for a while, as if the mouth was suddenly opened.
When I walked into the yard, I really saw the red sleeves and them standing in the yard, and when they saw Gu Banqin, they were about to kneel, but Gu Banqin stopped them:
"Okay, okay, I have received your wishes, so don't kneel. This time the matter of the Moon Palace, also gave me a lot of touch, a while ago I was too busy, so that I didn't know that such a thing happened in the palace, now I know, there is no reason to ignore, I know that you came to me today, thank you is one thing, and you want to ask me where to go in the future, isn't it? ”
Red Sleeves and a palace maid next to him glanced at each other, Red Sleeves stepped forward, nodded to Gu Banqin, and said, "Yes, Niangniang." The slaves and maids have always been from the Lanyue Palace, and now that they have left the Lanyue Palace, it is not a matter of always living in the people's house, so they dare to ......."
"Hmm. I know what you mean. For those of you who have been slightly injured, after the injury is healed, you can ask the Inner Court Division to rearrange to work in other palaces, and as for those who are seriously injured, I will find a way to compensate for them, and in the future, I will do what I can, and the salary will be paid as usual, and the palace will provide for you in the old age. ”
"Of course, if you have a way to live outside the palace, you can also propose it with me to leave the palace, and after the injury is fully recovered, I will give another settling-in fee, but I have to say that in the front, don't covet a one-time settling-in fee, you must really consider whether you can survive after leaving the palace, and after careful consideration, come and give me an answer, do you understand?"
Red Sleeves and the others looked at each other, everyone was digesting these words, some understood, and nodded again and again, the two eunuchs who were being carried seemed to see hope in their desperate eyes, and the two took the lead in saying:
"Niangniang, the slave is willing to stay in the palace, he will not eat in vain, he can work after the injury is healed, no matter how hard and tired he is, we will stay in the palace."
The other said the same thing.
Gu Banqin sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, if you don't want to leave the palace, just stay in the palace, and there will be no less food." Then he looked at the red sleeves and said:
"It's not just that they are seriously injured, but if you are not seriously injured, you can also come and tell me, whether you want to stay in the palace or go out of the palace, as long as you are willing, you can come and tell me."
Red sleeves took the lead in shaking his head: "Niangniang, slave maid, slave maid does not leave the palace, I have lived in the palace for so many years, there is no one in the family, slave maid, slave maid is brave, please Niangniang can take in the slave maid, the slave can write, can settle accounts, can do rough work, as long as the mother is willing to take in, the slave can do anything." ”
Gu Banqin glanced at Red Sleeves, Red Sleeves' gaze was a little evasive, her expression was a little meaningful, as if she was testing Gu Banqin.
In fact, this kind of psychology is very easy to understand, Red Sleeves is still ambitious, after leaving from Concubine Shu, she doesn't want to be plain in the future, she wants to take this opportunity to climb a tall branch that is taller than Gu Nianshu.
Now in the harem, the highest branch is Gu Banqin, she is tentative, she wants to see where Gu Banqin's bottom line is, she has courage and ambition, such a character has never been Gu Banqin's willingness to be by her side.
Therefore, Gu Banqin hesitated for a long time before she politely rejected the red sleeves:
"This ...... It's up to the Neuterins to divide everything. You come out of the Lanyue Palace, you must have some specialties, I have changed the rules of the palace, if you are really capable, in fact, why not climb up from below. ”
"Today's palace positions, eighty percent of them climb up step by step with their own strength, there is no future in staying by my side, all the positions around me are full, no matter how good you are, you can't get past the people around me now, so it's better to go to other places to fight, there are many people in the harem, but there are also many opportunities."
Disappointment flashed in the red sleeves' eyes, but he didn't fully show it, and after taking a deep breath, he nodded to Gu Banqin: "What Niangniang means, the slave knows it." ”
After saying this, Gu Banqin asked everyone to retreat, and Red Sleeves led a group of injured patients out of Lihua Palace and went to the people's place.
Qingyun and Liu Wu couldn't help but step forward, Liu Wu was the most pity: "Niangniang, in fact, it's not me who dismantles the stage, Aunt Red Sleeves is not only a little annoying, but she still has the ability, she is one of the few talented women in our palace, there are so many female gentlemen in our Splendid Pavilion, the female account room, why didn't Niang Niang give her a chance?" ”
Gu Banqin smiled: "I think that people who are really capable, don't miss me to give her a chance, you see I rejected her today, but what I said is the truth, she is better than you, are you willing to give her your position?" ”
After thinking about it, Liu Wu replied seriously: "As long as she can serve the mother better than the slave maid, then the position of the slave maid is nothing even if she is given to her." ”
Gu Banqin looked at the catkins and was a little surprised: "Good girl." If you have this idea, Red Sleeves has already lost more than half of it. She has the ability, but she also has great ambitions, and this ambition will not change just because she has suffered setbacks in the Moon Palace, on the contrary, it will only inspire her and make her ambition bigger and bigger. ”
"Don't look at my current scenery, but you know, the capacity around me is this, it is the feeling of family to be with you, she comes to me, it is pure service, I need to tolerate me everywhere, people like family are by my side to accompany me, I don't need to be a slave like a bodhisattva, I say this, can you understand?"
Liu Fu and Qing Yun looked at each other the same, both of them had surprised expressions on their faces, and Qing Yun said with a rare smile:
"What Niangniang means is that she didn't treat us as slaves and maids, but as slaves...... Family? ”
Gu Banqin nodded decisively: "Yes, that's why I said, she has no future here with me, there is no place for her to climb next to me, you are my family, you used to give up your life for me, the tacit understanding between us has been cultivated for so many years, and Red Sleeves is capable, but she is not a family to me, and she can better display her talents in other places, isn't it better?" ”
What Gu Banqin said was indeed what he thought in his heart, because when Helian Hongyi wanted to kill her, Gu Banqin would never forget it, these people in Lihua Palace who looked ordinary and small would summon up so much courage and risk their lives to save her alone, and since then, Gu Banqin has regarded them as family members.
