Chapter 309: Accept the Charge
Nalan Lan'er was not in a hurry to signal Concubine Shu to drink tea first, Concubine Shu picked up the teacup and praised it without hesitation, "This Wan'er palace maid on my sister is indeed a good pot of tea." When you open the lid, you will have a fragrant fragrance. ”
Wan'er was indifferent behind her, and Nalan Lan'er took over Concubine Shu's words, "To let my sister praise her so clearly, Wan'er must be grateful in her heart, drink a lot of tea, and when the palace is free on weekdays, she will drink the tea made by Wan'er, which is really good." ”
Concubine Shu smiled and continued to drink, they are a scholarly family, and they also know a lot about tea, so they will occasionally taste tea, because they are women, there are more restrictions, and they have not studied in depth.
Soon the cup was low in the middle of talking and laughing, and Wan'er hurriedly refilled it for the two masters.
After drinking a cup of tea, Nalan Lan'er moistened her throat, began to pick up the account book on the table, and looked through it alone, with the affirmation of the lady concubine, the person in charge of the internal affairs office has settled down a lot.
Sure enough, there were a lot of things recorded in this ledger, and she flipped through the things for two or three years, then put down the ledger and said with a smile, "Well, the accounts of this ledger are indeed very clear." ”
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has completely put his heart in his stomach at this time. Nalan Lan'er returned the ledger to him and said, "Is there anything else I need to buy this year?" ”
The person in charge stepped forward and listed a lot of things, wanting to decorate the lanterns and the like.
After listening to this, Nalan Lan'er asked casually, "Lanterns and stands and the like, they should be used two or three times, right?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, the quality is better and the storage is good, and there is no problem with it for four or five years." The person in charge thinks that women are easier to fool.
Nalan Lan'er sighed, "So what's the better price?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, generally the price of more than one or two is excellent."
"Really?" Nalan Lan'er asked rhetorically.
Concubine Shu didn't understand what the dignified concubine Niangniang was doing with these prices so carefully, it was nothing more than a difference between one and two, which sounded a little boring, but she looked at Nalan Lan'er's eyes, as if she was calculating something, and the answer to the question in charge kept her head down.
Nalan Lan'er had no problem, turned her head to Concubine Shu and said, "Sister, the count is complete." Do you still have the leisure to accompany Hongu to see the progress of their construction? ”
Build? It's nothing more than a group of barbarians doing coolies, she is the daughter of a princess, stepping into such a place is simply detrimental to her image, what if something falls and hits? So she smiled lightly and refused, "My sister can't help my sister, maybe the wind is blowing a little hard today, and my sister feels a little dizzy, so I can't accompany my sister to see it." ”
Nalan Lan'er didn't mind at all, she didn't care much when she heard that Concubine Shu was uncomfortable, and she didn't care much, and she replied to Concubine Shu's indifference when she heard her physical discomfort just now, and she also said calmly: "In this case, my sister has to go back to rest earlier, and the palace still has to go to those palace people to do well." ”
Concubine Shu retired. The rest of the entire hall were people from the Internal Affairs Office, and Nalan Lan'er said to the person in charge, "My lord, I bother you to accompany the palace to see how the preparations for the birthday banquet are going?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, the minister is willing to serve."
One of the people in charge led the way in front, and Nalan Lan'er followed with the two palace maids behind him.
Walking and walking, Nalan Lan'er suddenly slowed down the minion behind her, and she took a few steps forward to stop the person in charge. "Your Excellency."
The person in charge of the Internal Affairs Office suddenly heard the concubine Niangniang call him, and the fake account was not discovered, and there was no pressure at all. "Hui Niangniang, the minister is here."
"My lord, did you swallow so much silver alone, or did you take one percent for the people below?"
It was a good atmosphere, but when he suddenly heard Nalan Lan'er ask, the housekeeper of the Internal Affairs Office almost didn't choke on his own saliva.
"Niangniang, this, what do you mean by this?" Before the other party doesn't know what to say, the best way is to pretend to be deaf and stupid. It's better.
Nalan Lan'er smiled, there was a bit of sarcasm in her smile this time, "Those items don't need to be purchased every year, but your Internal Affairs Office reports them every year, although five thousand taels is not much, but it is already a lot of income for you, right?" ”
"Niangniang, you ......" the person in charge was dumbfounded.
Nalan Lan'er ignored his surprise and continued, "My lord said that the best price is one tael, very good, no matter what is used in these account books, it is obviously the best, of course, how can the palace not use the best?" This palace has read your account book, many things are the same, every time you want to hold a banquet, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is to report and apply for silver to buy a new one, the strangest thing is that every birthday banquet is not new, right? ”
The cold sweat of the head of the Internal Affairs Office could not be dried in the wind, and his back was a little chilly, even if it was a woman standing in front of him! The most terrifying thing is that this woman is a concubine.
"Nothing to say or no explanation? This palace roughly calculated that the birthday banquet can draw five thousand taels, and the big and small matters of the adults in a year are not much, at most they can be regarded as drawing twenty or thirty thousand taels, which is a conservative estimate. ”
He swallowed his saliva, although he didn't know how the person in front of him knew so carefully, out of instinct, he shouted, "Niangniang, little wronged." ”
Nalan Lan'er suddenly smiled mysteriously, "Are you sure you want to shout wrongs to this palace?" You must know that if you are really wronged, it will be ordered by the emperor to investigate thoroughly, do you want to give it a try, my lord? ”
"Don't wronged the mother, the minister is not wronged, the minister is wrong, the minister is wrong, I'm sorry for the emperor!" Saying that, the palm has begun to shed tears, it looks really desolate and urgent, the vision of a middle-aged fat man wiping tears in front of your eyes.
But Nalan Lan'er has a purpose, so she should be watching the play, she really can't stand the miserable appearance of a big man crying in front of her, and there are servants watching behind her.
Wan'er and Cailian saw that the master had his back to them, but the person in charge who was facing them cried tears, and they really didn't know what sad things the master told him.
Nalan Lan'er spoke up again, "What are you crying about, this palace didn't say that it was going to report you." ”
As soon as these words came out, I told you that the doctor was terminally ill and hopeless, and you were ready to go home to deal with the funeral, but the doctor chased him out and said that he was sorry that he didn't wake up and dreamed just now.
The person in charge looked at the concubine Niangniang, who didn't seem to believe it, and said cautiously, "Niangniang, you said, you don't report the little one?" Thank you, Niangniang, the villain must have the previous silver eighty-two folio, Niangniang's eight small two. ”
The person in charge looked at Nalan Lan'er's unfathomable smile, wiped away his tears and smiled, thinking that he had met a fellow practitioner.
Nalan Lan'er has nothing to do today, she is a little idle, but she can't see the appearance of a wealth fan in charge, she said leisurely, "This palace remembers that the law of the night dynasty to rectify corrupt officials is not ordinarily powerful, and you actually have the idea of pulling this palace into the water." ”
The head was in a hurry to explain, and couldn't say a word, so he knelt down and said, "Niangniang is angry, the villain heard you say that he didn't report the slave, thinking that Niangniang wanted to ...... No, the slave is thinking about being grateful to the mother, so he said to give you the silver, don't misunderstand. ”
Nalan Lan'er looked at this person in charge, and felt that he was also an official, and Brother Yang and his father-in-law must not have been so low-voiced, crying and kneeling, and they were a little frightened and unsettled.
It was a little boring, so he stopped playing, and said with a somewhat serious expression, "Get up, what does a housekeeper look like when he kneels!" Hongu has something to say to you. ”
Hearing some stern voices, the person in charge hurriedly got up and looked like he was obedient to his orders.
Nalan Lan'er first warned him, "You also know that the amount of money you are greedy for can make you beheaded, not to mention that your life is in danger, think about your family, they will be kicked out after raiding your mansion, and I don't know if the orphans and widows can survive, so you should know that you can't have an accident." ”
"That's right, Niangniang, for the sake of the villain's wife and young son, let the villain go."
Nalan Lan'er especially looked down on such people, and she continued, "I even know that you can't die yourself, and now there is only one way for you to choose." ”
The person in charge has an inquisitive look on his face.
"Listen to the words of this palace, after you listen to the words of this palace, this palace can be regarded as if this incident has not happened, you are still in charge now, and the silver can continue to be greedy, but don't be too greedy, otherwise this palace will not be able to save you."
Nalan Lan'er stood in the breeze, clear and sunny after the heavy snow, and the light was abundant.
After listening to her words, the person in charge made up his mind in less than three seconds, he couldn't die! "Niangniang, listen to you."
Nalan Lan'er raised a big smile, she looked at the person who was already firm with satisfaction, and finally said, "This matter is only known to this palace, and you have also seen the lady concubine Niangniang and did not find it, but in the future, don't do it too perfectly, so that it will be full of loopholes, do things with peace of mind, this palace will notify you if necessary, of course, it is definitely not a matter of letting you go for money and killing, there is little contact between you and me, what can you order a reliable palace maid to come to the palace maid, even if it is the queen mother or who threatens you, You can't say a word of the sting. ”
Nalan Lan'er said a lot of words, just to warn the head of the Internal Affairs Office, otherwise it would be like this to scare anyone, wouldn't it be troublesome.
Under his repeated assurances, the head of the Internal Affairs Office has completely followed Nalan Lan'er's words, because Nalan Lan'er will not let him dare to hurt the heavens and reason, and only by returning to his previous appearance in obscurity can he sit in this position for a long time. The black gauze hat can also be worn for a longer time.
"Now the first task that this palace gives you is that if Concubine Shu and Concubine De ask for a change in the palace, they must send someone to inform the palace. You can't talk about it with people who are in the same boat as you, otherwise, hehe, I think the emperor is still happy to let the treasury return some silver. ”
The person in charge didn't dare to disobey, so he agreed again and again.
thought to himself, the concubine said so much, and finally asked him to pay attention to the movements of Shuyan Palace and Deyan Palace.
