Chapter 41: Don't ask, if you ask, you'll be shameless

Because of the hidden things in her heart, An Ge was unhappy all morning, and when it was time to go to dinner at noon, she finally found a chance to be alone with Zhang Lianfeng, so she immediately seized the opportunity to ask her: "Lord Zhang, I seem to have some problems with this month's Yulu......"

Zhang Lianfeng had just eaten a full meal, and was sitting in the side hall by the window to blow the wind, when she heard the words, she was surprised: "What is the problem?" ”

An Ge said honestly: "I only took five taels of silver this month......"

"Huh? How so? I had a lot more than that. Zhang Lianfeng doubted, "Could it be that the article you wrote before provoked General Jing and the emperor, so the adults of the household department deliberately deducted your silver?" ”

Ange woke up suddenly, she really didn't expect this...... If that's the case, will her money be recovered?

But...... The emperor and Jinglan aren't so careful, right? I have held a grudge for an article for so long, and I still have to deduct her money?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhang Lianfeng hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, I'll go back to the household department to help you ask, if something really goes wrong, I will definitely help you recover your money...... If there is any shortage in life these days, tell me. ”

An Ge looked at her gratefully: "Then it will bother Master Zhang." ”

So An Ge waited patiently for three days, and on the third day, she asked Zhang Lianfeng about the situation: "Lord Zhang, I don't know how the adults of the household department responded?" ”

Zhang Lianfeng looked at her with an apologetic face: "The adults in the household department have been busy these days, and I haven't had a chance to ask." ”

An Ge was very helpless, so he had to hold back and continue to wait.

But after asking like this for a few days, Zhang Lianfeng replied like this every time, no matter how stupid she was, she understood, Zhang Lianfeng didn't want to help her ask the household department at all.

Since I didn't want to ask, I just pushed it at the beginning, why did I pretend to tell her to help her ask, so that she waited for so many days in vain!

And why didn't Zhang Lianfeng want to ask? She was responsible for this matter. If An Ge told Liu Yongxu directly about this matter, and Liu Yongxu came forward to investigate, no matter what problems were found, Zhang Lianfeng would not be able to get rid of it.

She entrusted this matter to Zhang Lianfeng in private, obviously taking into account her previous help to herself, and she was bent on solving it privately, she was helping her, such a simple truth, didn't Zhang Lianfeng understand?

Could it be ...... She has already asked, is her Yulu really detained by the emperor's order, Zhang Lianfeng is afraid of hitting her, so she has not told her?

After thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more irritable he felt, and it happened that Zhang Lianfeng was delayed until late because of some things on this day, and An Ge also planned to leave later, so he must ask clearly.

After she persuaded Liu Pingle away, at the end of the day, Zhang Lianfeng finally put down her pen and planned to leave, she seemed to have expected An Ge to ask her what was going on, so she got up and left directly, without even saying hello to her.

An Ge hurriedly chased out of the side hall and opened his mouth to stop her: "Master Zhang......"

A sneer flashed in Zhang Lianfeng's eyes, and when she looked back again, she looked as usual, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" ”

An Ge had asked many times, but she didn't expect Zhang Lianfeng to ask her something...... She quickly twisted her brows and loosened them, and said, "It's still my last month's business...... I don't know how the adults of the household department will reply? ”

Zhang Lianfeng sighed, the smile on her face gradually dropped, and asked rhetorically: "An Ge, I have always been kind to you, why do you have to frame me?" ”

An Ge was puzzled: "Why do you say that? ”

"Whether I go to the household department to ask about this matter or not, whether there is a problem or not, I am the one who offends people. If the problem is really found, although it is not my doing, I am the person responsible, and in the end, this responsibility will fall on my head. Besides, do the adults in your household department have nothing to do all day? Tell me to bother them to check the accounts for you as a low-grade petty official, in case there is no problem, it is really the emperor who deducted it, then I am still thankless? Zhang Lianfeng explained earnestly, then took out ten taels of silver from the bag and handed it to An Singer, saying, "An Ge, you read it for the sake of me who helped you, don't worry about this matter, this is my silver, I'll make it up to you, okay?" ”

An Ge was dumbfounded by this remark, and was stunned for a while before she reacted, she naturally would not accept Zhang Lianfeng's silver, stuffed the silver back into her hand, and quickly withdrew her hand, biting her lip and not speaking.

Seeing her so aggrieved, Zhang Lianfeng only sighed and said, "An Ge, it has never been easy to be born as a woman, come out to find an errand or marry into the compound, and you have to think more about the consequences when you encounter something...... I appreciate you very much, don't let me down. She took An Ge's hand and patted it, telling the elders that after the juniors finished speaking, they wanted to walk away again.

After she took two steps, An Ge suddenly said: "Lord Zhang, what you said is reasonable, I really don't want to owe others favors, you once entered the palace for me to see the queen mother, which is a favor to me, so I will repay the favor this time and will not pursue it anymore." But you should be responsible for this matter, if you don't want to be responsible for something and only want to hide it, then you are just a corpse vegetarian person. You are not worthy to be the deputy director of the Di Bao Mansion. ”

Zhang Lianfeng suppressed her anger, turned around and chuckled and coaxed her: "Look at what you said, it seems to be serious, isn't it just a dozen taels of silver missing, aren't you ashamed to make this matter bigger?" If you really remember my kindness, you shouldn't embarrass me with this kind of thing again or four, you should swallow it...... Besides, didn't I promise you that I would compensate you with my own money? ”

"If I really swallow my anger, won't it happen again now?" An Ge shook his head mockingly, "It's like a torn dress, it's just like sewing it up in time, pretending not to see it will only make her bigger and bigger." And you say it's a shame for this money...... I just want to get my share, what's so shameful about that? I didn't steal or rob it. Master Zhang, I naturally won't ask for your money, but I hope you won't make any more mistakes in the future. ”

Zhang Lianfeng raised her eyebrows: "Listen to what you mean, do you think it's my fault for this?" ”

An Ge argued: "No matter whose fault it is, even if it is really the emperor who withheld my money, you, as the person responsible, should give me an explanation." ”

Zhang Lianfeng's face was cold, and after a while, she still chuckled out and said, "Okay, when I see Lord Hubu in the future, I must ask him, don't be angry, go back quickly, it's so late, be careful." ”

An Ge really admired her more and more, she was so angry that she could smile so kindly and talk to her.

She definitely wouldn't be able to do it.

And she also knows that what Zhang Lianfeng is saying now is just coping with it, and this matter can only be counted like this, unless she stabs Liu Yongxu or even the queen.

After a while, Zhang Lianfeng left the mansion, An Ge was silent for a moment, and reluctantly returned to the side hall to blow out the lights, lock the door and leave.

In the courtyard where they had stood, the corner of the courtyard was covered with verdant bamboo, and there was a small door behind the bamboo, and on the other side of the door, there was an identical courtyard, and even the rooms behind the courtyard had the same layout as the Di Bao Mansion.

At this time, there were two men standing in the middle of the courtyard, one of them was wearing a cyan robe, with a righteous and awe-inspiring look between his eyebrows, and his eyes were blazing, while the other man was wearing a crimson robe, and his appearance was the same, but there was a hint of flattery in his eyes, and both of them were in their early twenties.

The man in the crimson robe said with a smile: "Lord Sacrificial Wine, I didn't expect you and I to chant poetry to the moon tonight, but I heard such a big secret reported by the harem mansion next door." You said that if we reported this matter to the emperor, what would the emperor do? ”

The man in Tsing Yi said: "Liu Yongxu is becoming more and more useless, and he can't even manage his subordinates." The emperor dislikes this kind of straw bale the most. ”

"Yes, I listened to the words of the two people, this Lord Zhang is responsible for counting other people's money, but as soon as something happens, I want to hide it, this time I met a person who wants to be entangled in the end, so the matter was asked, I don't know how many times she has done this before, if it is investigated, maybe Liu Yongxu will not be able to get rid of it." The man in the red clothes said with a smile, "That Liu Yongxu won the emperor's praise a few days ago by relying on the "Harem Mansion Newspaper", listening to the emperor's meaning, it seems that he has to be promoted to an official, Lord Xu, I am not worth it for you, you are the champion of the dynasty, and now you are from the fourth grade of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine, so why does Liu Yongxu have to climb to your head at the same level as you?" And recently, some people have compared our "Imperial Government Newspaper" with their "Harem Newspaper...... Isn't that insulting us? Can those vulgar scripts for women be compared with the newspapers that guide us? ”

Due to the increasing severity of the suppression of military force and literature in recent years, the number of students in Guozijian has reached nearly 10,000 people, and even neighboring countries often send students to study.

As the highest-level official of Guozijian, although he is only considered medium from the fourth grade in the court, his strength should not be underestimated, and Xu Qiyan, who holds this position, is the champion of the new department, young and promising, and is highly valued.

"Chao Zheng Newspaper" is a newspaper read by Dali officials, mainly responsible for publishing the palace and court affairs affairs, Yin Mu specially selected several ministers in the Guozi Jian to be responsible, Xu Qiyan is the director of the "Chao Zheng Newspaper".

Guozi Priest Jiu Xu Qiyan chuckled and said: "Liu Yongxu's official age is longer than mine, what is there to compare with this?" However, in order to prevent the corrupt behavior of the court officials, it is indeed necessary to investigate this point. I'll play it tonight. ”

"Haha, this deputy director has a hard time." The other laughed.

Xu Qi smiled deeply and said nothing, but the voice of An Ge in Zhang Lianfeng's mouth echoed in his mind...... Listening to the accent, it seems to be a very gentle Jiangnan soft language, but he can say such things without being humble or arrogant.

He wondered, who was this?

The next day, everyone in the Dibao Mansion responded on time as usual, but before noon, an uninvited guest came.

The man walked leisurely to the courtyard of the Di Bao Mansion, and many people in the side hall noticed him, and when he was thinking about which bookseller he was, Liu Pingle, who was next to An Ge, suddenly got up and shouted through the window: "Li Gongzi! ”

An Ge was startled by her, looked up at Liu Pingle who was up, and suddenly found that her round face was already red to the base of her neck......
