Chapter 291: I Burned Myself
Yue Hansha came back with the silver she had just received, and immediately called Zhang Luo'er to the inner hall alone, and stuffed her with a bag of silver, Zhang Luo'er felt heavy in her hand, and it was estimated that it would not be less than fifty taels.
Yue Hansha said with a smile: "Luo'er, this is what I gave you alone, a few days ago, I was busy with the opening of the harem, and the whole palace has been busy day and night for a long time, and now that I have the silver, I will naturally not treat you badly." ”
Saying that, Yue Hansha lowered her voice and said, "However, the one I gave you is the most, you can't say it." ”
Zhang Luo'er knew that she was deliberately selling favors, but she pretended not to know, and hurriedly thanked Dade and said: "Thank you Niangniang, Niangniang, you are so good to the slave." ”
Yue Hansha smiled with satisfaction, her kindness was to ask the other party to be grateful to Dade in her heart.
"You don't have to be polite to me, the pastries you made, the imperial chef has praised them again and again, and I want you to continue to make them in the future."
Zhang Luo'er was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Niangniang, how long are we going to make pastries?" ”
"I've been doing it, and I have the money to get it anyway. And the weather is getting colder and colder, and the pastries can be made for several days, so we will have to make more in the future...... When the weather is warm in the coming year, the pastries are not easy to keep, so we can make other things. ”
Zhang Luo'er furrowed her brows quickly, she didn't stay with Yue Hansha to make snacks for her, this person is endless?
Zhang Luoer smiled again: "Niangniang has refused to sleep twice this month in order to make snacks, I'm afraid that if this continues, if Niangniang falls out of favor......"
Zhang Luo'er stopped in time when he said this.
Yue Hansha's face was suddenly a little tangled, she thought for a while, sighed deeply, and said, "I don't want to refuse the emperor, but if I go to bed, the concubines next to me are all doing things for the harem cultural and creative industries, I can think of what they will say about me in private." ”
She looked at Zhang Luo'er: "Luo'er, do you know that the concubines of Dali are not allowed to interfere in politics, and the emperor will not mention the concubines' families much in order to prevent his relatives from interfering in politics." You see that the queen has been a queen for so long, her maiden family is still just a rich gentry, and Concubine Ning's parents are just a five-grade city guard, and they can't talk about any high power at all. ”
She paused, saw Zhang Luo'er nodded in understanding, and continued: "I am telling you this to tell you that in the Dali harem, since you can't get the right to climb up, it's just for money." But now that I can make money, what do I still don't want the emperor to do? Besides, the emperor's heart is not with me, and he is tired and tired of being with him every day. The fall from grace you are talking about doesn't exist at all, because I'm well aware that I've never really been favored, have I? ”
Zhang Luo'er sneered in her heart, she didn't expect that she was looking at the wrong person again, this Yue Jieyu is not a good knife, she was so easily bewitched by An Ge!
Zhang Luo'er said: "Does Niang Niang plan to do such business things in the palace in the future?" ”
Yue Hansha glanced at her and said, "This is different from the businessmen outside, we are royal and extremely noble." Do you have any problem with me doing this? ”
Zhang Luo'er rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "No, the slave just doesn't want to see the Ange villain." Niangniang still remembers that when she was crowned a concubine that day, only Niangniang went to congratulate her alone, but she turned Niangniang away, which shows that her relationship with Niangniang is not good. Now that Niangniang is doing things, although she also shares the money, she is the one who leads it.
Isn't the mother doing things for her? If she wears little shoes for her mother in the future......"
Yue Hansha shook her head: "I used to think she had a bad temper, but if you really do things under her, you will know that she is not that kind of villain, she is very clear about the distinction between public and private, and she says it clearly one by one, which is convincing, and it will not be targeted at anyone." You see that the queen has calculated her before, isn't she still not targeting the queen now? ”
Zhang Luo'er didn't have to argue, so she had to say: "Yes, Niangniang is reasonable, Niangniang has always been very accurate in seeing people, and the slave is convinced." ”
Zhang Luo'er just didn't understand, listening to Yue Hansha's tone, she really admired Shang'ange?
An Ge is really capable, even if he tames men, he can coax women into obedience!
Forget it, since Yue Hansha has been abolished, then I have to think of revenge myself......
Yue Hansha saw Zhang Luo'er in a daze, and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Let's go to the small kitchen and make pastries, and send them to the concubine in the evening. ”
Zhang Luo'er hurriedly responded: "Yes, the slave will do it." ”
Look, Yue Hansha used to sing an ange one by one, but now that she has made some money, she will be a concubine! It's spineless!
But...... In the evening, I will send it to the concubine Niangniang......
Zhang Luo'er thought about Yue Hansha's words several times, as if anything going out of the palace now has to be checked by An Ge's hand, in order to prevent mistakes, and to prevent someone from cutting corners and destroying the reputation of the harem's cultural and creative industries. After she finished the inspection, she spent one night in Jingyang Palace, and was sent out of the palace by the inner attendant on the second day.
That's right! If this is wrong with her......
Zhang Luo'er immediately returned to her room, her eyes sweeping over the white marks on her bedside.
It was raining a few days ago, and the armyworms crawled in, and in order to get rid of these armyworms, she went to the female officer to ask for something.
Zhang Luo'er took out a bag of tightly packed things from under the bed, a smile rose on the corner of her mouth, and hurried to the kitchen.
At night, all the goods in the palace were taken to An Ge, who was afraid that he would not be able to read the embroidery and paintings, so he called the queen and Concubine Ning over to check together. This time, the Shanggong Bureau also joined in and made a few pieces of jewelry to sell.
The most made is the pastries, the pastries sent by each palace are wrapped in special oiled paper, An Ge will check the spot check of each palace, and no problems will be found, then put into the idle side hall used as a warehouse, and two inner guards are sent to guard outside.
Concubine Ning and the Empress each returned to the palace, and An Ge also slept afterwards.
In the middle of the night, An Ge was suddenly woken up by a violent knock at the door, she got out of bed in a daze and opened the door, and saw that the palace maid outside was sweating profusely, and said anxiously: "Niangniang, it's not good, the warehouse is on fire!" ”
An Ge was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, and said in surprise: "What? Come and check it out! ”
The palace maid and An Ge hurriedly ran to the warehouse, and almost everyone in Jingyang Palace was fighting the fire.
Fortunately, the fire was not fierce, and by the time the two of them arrived, the fire had almost been extinguished.
The door of the room was half burned, and the two attendants knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Guifei Niangniang, they are all slaves who don't take a good look, and the slaves don't know why they caught fire......"
Ange didn't have time to pay attention to them, so he hurriedly rushed to the warehouse, which was worse than the outside, and almost everything was burned to ashes.
I don't know if it's too dusty yet
What's the matter, An Ge coughed violently without staying for a while, and the palace maid hurriedly said: "Guifei Niangniang go out first, it's too choking here." ”
An Ge nodded, turned around and went out, only to feel better outside, she turned her face and asked the palace maid, "Did you also smell a very bad smell just now?" ”
The palace maid nodded: "The slave smells it, it seems to be a little stinky, and I don't know what's going on...... Could it be that those pastries are burned and therefore stink? ”
"It's impossible...... An Ge was puzzled, only then did he notice that the two attendants were still kneeling on the ground, raised his hand and said, "You guys get up, this is strange, I'll check it again." ”
The tiger girl was also woken up by the movement just now, she leaned over to take a look, and the house in front of her was mostly burned out, and she leaned over to look at it curiously.
An Ge saw that she seemed to be going in, so he quickly reached out and pulled her, and said, "There is a strange smell in it, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, don't go in." ”
The tiger girl sniffed and said, "I know this smell, I smelled it when I was a child, because it was too good, so I have been remembering it for so many years." ”
An Ge looked at her in surprise: "You know? What is it? ”
Hu Mei thought for a while and said, "When I was seven or eight years old, my brother kidnapped an alchemist and came back, and the alchemist said that he was a god in order to keep my brother from killing him, and said that he could light a fire in the air. Naturally, my brother didn't believe it, so he asked the alchemist to show him. Then the alchemist asked my brother for a large vat of urine, and when he steamed the urine, there was only some yellow stone-like stuff left in the vat. ”
Then the alchemist soaked the cotton in oil, wrapped it in the yellow thing, and put it in the sun for half a day, and it really caught fire. When that thing burns, it's the stench. However, my brother later killed the alchemist because he thought it was useless and disgusting. ”
"And that kind of thing?" An Ge listened to it and said, "Can you make it clear, how long did it take to boil this yellow thing to get it?" What else is there besides urine? ”
Tiger Sister shook her head and said: "That's all I know, why are you asking this, it's more important for you to think about how to explain to other concubines tomorrow, right?" ”
"Hmm." An Ge responded, and really wanted to find a way to explain to them, but now she was more like to figure out whether the fire was caused by the yellow thing that Tiger Sister said, and if so, how did the yellow thing get into the warehouse?
An Ge didn't sleep all night, and early the next morning, he asked the waiter who used to deliver goods out of the palace to go out today to inform the shopkeeper, saying that there was a mistake in the materials used for yesterday's things, and in order to ensure the quality of the harem's cultural creativity, all today's things were destroyed, and everyone was told to buy them another day.
The shopkeeper received the news and immediately posted a notice.
When the people outside saw this, they praised the noble sentiment of the harem culture and creativity to ensure the quality even if it was a loss, and the reputation of the harem culture and creativity became even more famous for a while.
And An Ge went to the library early in the morning to consult the classics, hoping to find out the news related to the "yellow thing".
She finally saw a book related to alchemy, but it was placed on the top floor of the shelf, and she was still a little short of reaching it on tiptoe, and in a hurry, a bony hand reached out from behind her and took the book down.
The man's voice immediately came from behind him: "Miss An...... Oh no, the concubine is interested in alchemy? ”
