Aunt Su Mala smiled lightly and nodded lightly: "I naturally know your thoughts, the ancestor ordered you to go to the Shangyi Bureau to maintain the palace rules and etiquette.

At this time and then, now that you have become her granddaughter-in-law, she will naturally turn that page over, and you don't know the character of your ancestors, so you still can't deal with her."

Huai Sleeve listened to what Aunt Su Mala said reasonably, nodded lightly and said: "What my aunt said is very true, I was confused for a while, and I didn't see this ceremony."

Aunt Su Mala smiled: "Please say hello another day, the old ancestor still talked about the plum blossom snacks you made last year, this is missing you." ”

"Thank you aunt for mentioning something" Huai Sleeve knew that this was Aunt Su Mala who came to pass the word, and immediately got up and thanked him.

Su Malagu sat down for a while, and then got up and went.

Huai Sleeve ordered Zhuo Qiu to take the red fox with open sleeves and wrap it, only took Yingxue and the two little palace maids, and went to the plum forest in the back garden of the Qianqing Palace.

To make plum blossom snow branding, fresh plum blossom stamen, because it is made to send to Cining Palace of dim sum, after the hands of others are not at ease, they personally pick from Merlin.

Several palace maids were picking plum blossoms with their sleeves, only to hear a burst of footsteps accompanied by a man and a woman talking and the sound of the two people coming, and the sleeves looked sideways and saw that it was Lian Bi and Fuquan.

Fu Quanshang is nothing, but Lian Bi is frightened and her face is pale, caressing her heart and reciting the Buddha.

The two saw from a distance that their sleeves were standing under the plum tree, and they hurriedly came over and kowtowed.

Huai Sleeve waved his hand, looked back and motioned the palace maid who followed to retreat, and turned to Lian Bi and smiled: "Bacheng is Fuquan pretending to be a ghost to tease you again, and his face is white with fright." ”

Fuquan immediately argued: "The slave wronged the slave, but she only met Pian Bi when she came back from errands, and she was scared before."

Lian Bi nodded: "Fuquan is right, this time it wasn't him who made it bad, it was the slave who saw it herself."

Lian Bi only said half of it, immediately covered her mouth with her hand, looked around and saw that there was no one else, so she lowered her voice and said: "The slave maid just went to the Internal Affairs Office to receive this month's charcoal, and saw that in the palace of Concubine Yu, a dead palace maid was carried out, wrapped in a white sheet, and Bai Sensen's hand was hanging under the bamboo frame, so scary."

When Lian Qiu heard this, she also opened her mouth slightly in fright, the last time she saw it with her own eyes, she still remembers it vividly.

Ying Xue sneered: "Concubine Yu's palace is really strange, the palace maid always dies every day, we have been following the master for a long time, except for Sister Jianyue, I haven't seen anyone who is still inexplicably wonderful." ”

In the past, Huai Sleeve didn't ask about this matter for the most part, but today when he heard Lian Bi say this, he thought about it for a while, turned to Fuquan and asked, "Do you know whether these palace maids were buried or burned after they died?"

Fuquan replied truthfully: "This slave once heard the old man in the palace say that if the palace maid dies, it will be sent to the Jingle Hall outside the palace, and most of them will be burned.

If there are still people in the family, send someone to bring a letter, and the ashes can be taken away, and the rest will not even be kept, and only a very small number of masters will give them a reward for buying land and silver, and then they will be buried in a place.

For example, Sister Jianyue went before, and Long Live Lord Kai chose a piece of land, repaired the tomb, and erected a monument. ”

Huai Sleeve nodded slightly, turned back to Lian Bi and instructed, "You go to the cabinet by my bedside, and get a bag from the top drawer." ”

Pian Bi nodded and turned to go.

Only Huai Sleeve, Fuquan and Yingxue are left here.

Huai Sleeve instructed Fu Quan: "You immediately go to the Jingle Hall, make some silver for the official office inside, and leave the body of the palace maid, no matter where it is buried, as long as it is not burned." ”

Ying Xue was puzzled: "It's not from our palace, why bother with this master." ”

Huai Sleeve said: "I don't pity the people in Concubine Yu's palace, it's just that this thing may be useful to us in the future." ”

Fuquan nodded: "The slave will definitely do it safely, the master can rest assured"

Huai Sleeve nodded slightly, and said: "In the future, the two of you will pay attention to the movements in the Zhong Cui Palace, as long as someone carries it out, you will act like this."

At this time, Lian Bi took out the brocade bag, and took out two silver ingots with a total of forty taels from the inside of her sleeve and handed them to Fuquan.

When Fu Quan was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered, turned around again, took out a white silk cloth bag from his sleeve, and put it in front of his sleeve together with the previous gold bracelet.

"Master, this is what the slave picked up in the snow behind the rockery when you told me to go to the garden to look, and I didn't see anything beside me again."

Huai Sleeve reached out and took the white silk cloth bag in Fu Quan's hand, and put the gold bracelet on his wrist again: "When you go to the garden, have you ever met anyone?"

Fuquan shook his head: "I didn't see anyone at the rockery, but I only met Lu Hai of Yuqing Palace at the gate of the courtyard." ”

"What did he ask you?"

"No, I just said a few auspicious words to congratulate my master and left."

Huai Sleeve nodded slightly, waved his hand, and Fuquan turned around.

Huai Sleeve put the white silk cloth bag into the sleeve cage, and continued to be accompanied by Yingxue and a few people to pick plum blossoms.

After picking the plum blossoms, I personally watched the small kitchen boil the plum blossoms, and then returned to the Eight Treasures Pavilion with my sleeves.

Hearing that Li Dequan said that Kangxi was still discussing with several ministers in the warm pavilion, he ordered someone to set up dinner in the Eight Treasures Pavilion.

In the evening, it is rare not to enter the Zhaoren Hall to accompany the driver, lazily crooked on the soft couch with his sleeves, holding the snow sugar hawthorn sent by the concubine, and flipping the book at will.

When Yingxue sorted out the red fox cloak during the day for Huai Sleeve, she inadvertently dropped the white silk handkerchief bag that the day Fu Quan handed over to Huai Sleeve.

Yingxue picked up the handkerchief and carefully placed it on the small table of Huanghuali next to her sleeve.

Huai Sleeve slowly turned over a page of the scroll, glanced at the white silk handkerchief, and said lightly: "Put the things in this together with what you collected before." ”

Ying Xue didn't know why, so she walked closer and opened the white silk handkerchief to take a look, and saw that it was wrapped in a small piece of secret spice that was exactly the same as the one she had put away.

"How did the master know that there was this thing in here" Yingxue was curious, she didn't see when Huai Sleeve had opened the silk handkerchief.

"When Fuquan gave it to me, I smelled it."

Huai Sleeve put the scroll on his lap, raised his eyes and looked at the spice in Yingxue's hand: "Look at this color, it seems to be the same as what we used to use, and it was made at a time." ”

"It seems that Concubine Hui must have received this incense in the palace, and she loves it very much, and she even carries it with her."

Listening to Yingxue's words in her ears, Dai Mei frowned slightly and thought for a moment, and asked: "In the past, when we went to the palace to get things, who went over?"

Yingxue replied: "Usually it is me and Lianbi, as well as Zhang Bao to get it, and I also go when Fuquan is not busy, and I have never assigned the rest of the new boys and girls, because the time is not long, I am worried that their hands and feet are not clean." ”

Huai Sleeve nodded: "Next time you go in person, it's best to take a look at the picture book of the objects received by the Internal Affairs Office, and see which palace has received this secret spice." ”
