Chapter 3: Promotions
The palace people let go of Mama Xu, but they didn't arrest Calm, they just approached her and said with a smile: "Girl, do you want to acquiesce if you don't speak?" You have thought about it carefully, because the palace maid and the guards were broken by the queen mother, her old man was furious, and ordered to strictly investigate all men and women in the palace who have personal affairs, regardless of their positions, and deal with them innocently.
This so-called innocent disposal is naturally handled according to the palace rules set by the ancestors, didn't you enter the palace on the first day, and the palace rules naturally understand? ”
She naturally understands the palace rules, and if there is no evidence, she will only be assigned to the Huanyi Bureau or work as a coolie elsewhere, and if there is evidence, the male will cut off her head, and the female will be Ling Chi.
Calm down and sighed in my heart.
However, there is no evidence for her to do this, although it is said that the hemp halva is only available to Concubine Wan, but after all, no one has seen it given to her by Father-in-law Qing.
Since there is no empirical evidence, it is a big deal to work as a laundry maid here.
"Father-in-law, this hemp halva is not given to the slave by Father-in-law Qing, the matter between me and Father-in-law Qing, but it is also your hearsay, there is no empirical evidence, naturally it has nothing to do with him, Mama Xu said that Father-in-law Qing has a personal relationship with me, but it is just her speculation out of thin air, and there is no empirical evidence. If you want to be punished, punish me for being calm. “
said calmly and expressionlessly.
The two palace people looked at each other and smiled, and the older one smiled and stretched out his hand: "Lao Huang, bring the silver, you will lose to me." ”
"Lao Xia, you can't do it! Qingchun's good looks are clearly that Xu Ling, I have bumped into it several times, how can it be this little girl, this does not count. The palace man known as Lao Huang shook his head.
This Father-in-law Xia smiled lovely, and stretched out his hand towards him again: "That is, that kid has more than one good match, and this girl is also one." ”
"The old cow eats tender grass, it's better than us!" Huang Gonggong laughed, returned the hemp halva paper bag in his hand to calm down, patted her shoulder, and looked serious:
"Girl, just what you just said, we will be our friends in the future, my Lao Xia and his Lao Huang are both old men in the Execution Division, and it works to say a word in front of the boss.
In the future, if anyone dares to bully you, or if something happens, just go to us, and we will stand up for you. ”
Calmly swallowed his saliva, his eyes were a little puzzled.
Father-in-law Xia smiled and said: "The two of us are friends with Qingchun in life and death, besides, this time the investigation is just about the palace maid and the guards, Qingchun is a eunuch, what kind of adultery can he have." But isn't it funny?
This is just a bet made by the two of us, wanting to see the woman Qingchun has a crush on, and how sincere he is.
But I never thought that you, this girl, knew that she was going to die late, and she still wanted to bear this sin alone. ”
Calm and expressionless face, slightly moved.
What she didn't expect was that in this palace as cold as ice and snow, there would be a so-called friend of life and death.
"Thank you calmly to the two fathers-in-law." Calmly thank you.
The two of them laughed, looked at each other, and walked away.
Calmly wrapped the halva in his hand, and was about to step into the door, Mama Xu rushed out, snatched the paper bag back, and sneered:
"It's funny that the toad wants to eat swan meat! I don't look at what kind of goods I am, I want to climb the celebrities around my favorite concubine, so I don't want to go back to fetch water! ”
Calmly whispered, and raised his feet again.
But I only heard a deep shout from behind me: "Give that thing back to that girl." ”
"General Sima, the slave maid greets you." Mama Xu piled up a smile on her face, bent down to give a salute, and pretended to be crazy and stupid.
Sima Qing pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, and coldly ordered the two chamberlains behind him: "Tie up this woman to this general, fornicate with others, and slander others, it is really hateful, the crime is increased by one degree, Ling Chi will be executed to set an example!" ”
"The general spares his life, spares his life!" Mama Xu turned pale and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Where did Sima Nan pay attention to her, two chamberlains came to get people, and Mama Xu had soft muscles and legs that she had bluffed early, and she peed her pants.
sighed calmly, knelt down, and pleaded: "The general will spare Mama Xu." ”
Sima Nan glanced at her lightly, said, "Get up" and walked away.
"Ask the general to spare Mama Xu." Calmly raised his voice and shouted again behind him.
But he was already gone.
The two attendants dragged Mama Xu, who was already half dead, away.
Calmly and slowly got up, leaning against the high wall of the Huanyi Bureau.
Like her, there was another person standing in stone.
He stood on the steps of the inner warden, and looked through the mottled leaves of the locust tree by the door, and looked far away, at the little woman standing under the wall on the other side. I couldn't see her face clearly, just a cool emerald green.
Two chamberlains walked towards this direction with an elderly woman.
When he saw him, he bowed and saluted.
Sima Nan glanced at the woman.
"General Hui, his subordinates have taken the Xu family to the palace and handed it over to the Execution Division, and this grandmother is here to take her place and manage the Huanyi Bureau." The chamberlain replied.
Sima Nan glanced at the little woman who was still standing under the high wall, and waved her hand: "Let her go back, I have already taken over the Huanyi Bureau, go back and tell Han Shanggong that if you have any objections to the candidate I picked, just come to me, and I will explain to her." “
The woman was a master of seeing the wind and steering the rudder, hearing him say this, a smile fell on her face, and Shi Li said: "General, you have a good eye for talents, how can she have an opinion on the person you picked." In that case, the slave went back and told him. General Lao bothered to let Shang Gong personally thank him another day. ”
Sima Nan nodded slightly, and the woman said goodbye and left.
Sima Nan pointed to the little man over there, and said to the waiter: "Hand over to her from the Huanyi Bureau, you go again, and let Han Shanggong send someone over to spread the message." Don't say it's my idea. ”
The two chamberlains smiled at him and went about his own errands.
————————
When the female historian of the Shang Palace Bureau came to deliver the message, she was calm and Yuwan, laboriously twisting the water on a silk sheet.
"Calm down, you have never served in the Siyi Division, and now it is not easy for you to manage such a huge and complex Huanyi Bureau, Han Shanggong also said, if you are embarrassed, you are allowed to pick up a deputy to help you manage, in addition, if you don't understand, you have to ask diligently, if you are not allowed to enter the palace, just ask Father-in-law Shi, he has been here for twenty or thirty years, and he knows more than you."
Nushi said with a smile while drinking tea, and looked at the room where Mama Xu lived by the way.
It's gorgeous and neat, and with her little silver every month, she can't make it look like this.
Standing calmly to the side, whatever the female history said, just nodded slightly.
The corners of the female history's mouth showed a shallow smile of unknown meaning, and her calm gaze clearly concealed three points of jealousy.
Calmly could see this jealousy, but she couldn't think of why she was jealous.
She is the female history of the Clothes Bureau, and she has the position of Zhengbapin, even if she calmly becomes the leader of the Huanyi Bureau, she is still a palace maid, and she has to listen to her command, so there is nothing to be jealous of.
"Lord Nushi, the qualifications of the slave and maid are still shallow, and I am afraid that I will not be able to manage this big mess, so I implore Lord Nushi to intercede in front of Lord Shanggong and send her another."
After thinking about it calmly, he still opened his mouth to excuse the matter.
She didn't feel that she should be the leader of this stewardship, she was helpless, and there was no one in the palace to help her, why such a good thing would suddenly fall on her head, this was obviously very strange.
If it was said that Huang Gonggong and Xia Gonggong helped, it would be faster, not to mention that she was not a good friend of Qingchun's father-in-law, and the two of them returned to the palace one by one, and the matter was naturally clear.
Now that someone from the Shanggong Bureau suddenly came and asked her to do this, in her opinion, this is not a fortunate thing. She is a little person, I am afraid that the Lord of the Shang Palace has not even heard of the name.
Is it because this errand will be thankless and cause death, so I have to find a little-known little palace maid to die in my place?
Could it be that among the palace maids who were demoted this time, there are celebrities in the palace?
Guessing in my calm heart, I don't have an idea, and I still feel that it is better to prevaricate.
The female history put down the teacup, stood up, hid her face and smiled, nodded and said: "To be able to be taken by him, it is really a little different, what others want, you still shirk it, I already know that he likes this, why do we bother thinking about how to dress up every day to attract his attention, just like you, just pretend not to eat the fireworks in the world." ”
Calmly didn't understand her words, and this female historian didn't want her to understand, she patted her sleeve and came outside, but she turned around and smiled:
"Didn't you say you could find a deputy to help you? You don't understand, at this time, some people understand, they can only work, and they are not as good as your ability to coax people. ”
When she said this, she was calm and understood, thinking that this matter must have been secretly done by Huang Gonggong, Xia Gonggong and Qingchun.
Apart from them, she didn't know anyone else in the palace anymore.
"Lady Shi walks slowly."
calmly sent her out of the Huanyi Bureau, and then walked back, and suddenly surrounded by a group of people.
Pounding her back and pinching her legs, serving tea and water, all smiling, groveling, obviously hearing the words of the female history just now, asking her to choose a deputy on her own.
Calmly sat down on the stone bench under the shade of the tree, and watched them be courteous, except for a few who had just been sent and sat on the steps with miserable faces.
Only one is absent.
The woman was facing away from her, diligently washing the sheets.
The scorching sun near noon illuminated the beads of sweat on her side face.
"Pei Shaofen, come here." Calmly dodging everyone's bodies, he shouted at her sideways.
