Chapter 6: Wine
"One person does one thing and one burden, and if you don't do cold things, you will only kill me if you want to kill me." The stop on the bed said angrily.
Calm and incomprehensible.
"Little hoof, how can you open your mouth now, you are doomed, as for her life and death, it is not up to you to decide." Mama said coldly, picked up the teacup on the table, poured out half a cup of wine, and handed it over:
"The wine that the mother gave you, send you on the road, drink it quickly."
Zhi Xing took the glass of wine, shed tears, and looked at him apologetically: "I'm sorry, cold management, it's me who has tired you, on Huangquan Road, we are companions, and we are not lonely." What is owed to you in this life, you will pay it back in the next. ”
"It's just a glass of wine, you're really verbose, just drink it." Calm down.
Mama poured out another cup, her face gloomy, and she raised it calmly: "This is yours." ”
Calmly took it and raised his glass to the line: "Drink quickly, don't delay the grandmothers to do things." ”
As he spoke, he drank it all.
The tears that stopped falling like beads of broken threads fell down his cheeks, and he whimpered, tilted his neck, poured the wine down, and the wine glass fell to the ground, and roared at the two grandmothers:
"Satisfied? Now she's satisfied, right? ”
The two grandmothers changed their faces with regret, shook their heads, and retreated to the door: "Stop, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, we are just acting on orders, if you want to hate, you only hate the person who should be hated, don't ask us for your life." ”
Zhi Xing wanted to scold, but he only felt that the world was spinning, and he was weak for a while, lying on the bed, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
The two grandmothers rushed out of the door and closed it tightly.
Wait until she wakes up again.
He was still lying in bed.
Calm stood at the table, holding a large pair of scissors to cut the wick, with a calm face, as if nothing had happened.
"Calm down, are we dead? Where is this? A spiriter rolled over and shouted.
Calmly and slowly cutting the wick of the candle, the voice was as calm as water: "I'm not dead, I'm still in my room, lying on my bed, people, how can I die so easily." “
Stop exhaling and touching his face, with a look of complete disbelief.
"Sleep, Renshou Palace sent a lot of fences today, saying that the Queen Mother will use the banquet the day after tomorrow, even if you can't move and can't wash it, at least you have to help dry it."
said to her calmly and plainly, put away the scissors, and wanted to undress and go to bed.
He looked at her as if he were looking at the gods in a shrine.
Concubine Wan Niangniang will never reward her with a glass of wine, it must be a cup of poisonous wine!
There is no reason why you can come back to life after drinking poisoned wine!
The woman in front of her can take out the embroidery needle in her leg, and she must be able to relieve the poison in the wine?
"Calm down, you shouldn't save me, if I die, you will have a good life, if I don't die, your disasters will be endless." Zhi Xing smiled bitterly and put his head under the quilt.
"It's better to be alive, it's good to be alive, and I have a dream in my heart, what if one day it comes true?" Calmly changed into pajamas, lay down beside her, and said in a cold voice:
"You have to sleep with me tonight, there is still residual poison in your body, and you have to drink two doses of medicine on time."
Zhi Xing "suddenly" lifted the quilt and sat up, pointed to her nose, and said angrily: "Don't you understand human words? I don't die, she won't be willing, I just want to save your life before I die, you don't want to be troubled. ”
"Who is she? Concubine Wanniang? Why did she have to kill you? You robbed her man? Calmly picked up a comfortable position and lay down, and asked her in a low voice.
Zhi Xing was stunned and shed tears: "Don't ask, say more undoubtedly, in this harem, what is the death of a slave and maid, death is death." ”
Calm down and stop talking, close your eyes and go to sleep.
Zhi Xing stared at her calm face, tears streaming more diligently.
She was certain to die, but she was calm and made her feel uneasy.
————————
In the early morning of the next day, when Sima Nan stepped into the gate of the Huanyi Bureau, he calmly hung a wide fence on the rope, and the goose-yellow fence gently brushed her face because of the summer breeze.
What Sima Nan saw was a calm and expressionless, cold little face.
He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and without waiting for Gonggong Shi to step forward and ask Hou, he turned around and left.
Shi Gonggong's face tightened, and he chased out.
calmly saw this scene, but in her heart, she was not as nervous as Grandpa Shi, she didn't do anything wrong, and she didn't have to use such a low posture to please an irrelevant person.
The enclosure was finally washed and dried around noon.
Calmly gave Shi Gonggong some broken silver and asked the kitchen to add two meat dishes.
When the palace maids heard that there were meat and vegetables to eat, they were relieved of their fatigue in the morning, and they cheered and came over to calm down, chattering and saying nice things.
Zhi Xing came out of the house with a cup of tea, and walked with the two palace people who walked into the door, and the tea tray in his hand fell to the ground, and the person was fixed there, stupid.
"Stop, last night, Niangniang's wine was delicious?" A palace man walked up to her and asked lightly.
"Zhixing has seen Gonggong Wu." Stop and say hello.
"Get up, since you were relegated to here, the mother remembers you every day, no, I ordered me to bring this pearl-inlaid gold garment and let you wash it, this shirt is a treasure, the only treasure in the world, and I don't worry about handing it over to others to wash my mother, so I have to work with you and the cold steward here."
Gonggong Wu smiled and spoke softly.
To the sound of Zhixing, this is a gentleness that can kill people.
"Father-in-law, this shirt, my mother doesn't wear it often, so I don't need to wash it?" Stop struggling.
"No, the Queen Mother has held a banquet in the past two days, and the mother wears it every day, the day before yesterday she accidentally spilled some tea soup on it, and yesterday she accidentally stained it with some fat powder, in short, it is dirty, and it must be washed."
Gonggong Wu stretched out his finger and pointed to the golden clothes that the little eunuch was holding behind him.
Stopped wanting to speak, but Gonggong Wu no longer gave her a chance, and turned his gaze to stare calmly.
Bow to him calmly.
"What about the things, I handed them over, and the cold steward quickly collected them, before receiving them, they can be checked carefully, and they are intact." Gonggong Wu said with a cold face.
Calmly agreed, and took the shirt from the little eunuch's hand.
"Cold steward, our family will come to pick it up in person later, and the lady will wear it for the banquet in the evening."
Gonggong Wu said coldly.
Calmly agreed.
Gonggong Wu stared at Zhixing again, snorted slightly, and walked away.
"Oh my God, how do you wash this shirt? Money is empty, pearls are shuttled through it, and peacock feathers are weaved, isn't this deliberately looking for trouble? ”
Pei Shaofen stepped forward, glanced at the shirt, and exclaimed.
"Shaofen, take everyone to dinner, this matter has nothing to do with you." said calmly and expressionlessly, and walked to the house with his clothes.
Zhi Xing followed, closed the door tightly, leaned against the door and slipped to the ground, crying bitterly.
"Stop, don't cry, there's always a way to solve it." Calmly put the shirt on the table, came over to help her up, and wiped her tears.
"You fool, why do you care about me, you are looking for your own death." Stop crying.
"I've come this far, even if I want to stop and withdraw, it's impossible, I can only go down with you." Said calmly and calmly.
"What else can be done? Look at this thing, can it be washed? Whether you wash it or not, it's a dead end, she's just trying to find an excuse to kill me, that's an excuse! Don't you understand? ”
Stop choking.
Shrugged calmly and laughed: "Stop, the soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, the thing hasn't been done yet, what are you in a hurry." ”
Zhixing stepped forward and hugged her, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Washing clothes, you can't wash them, so I found another way to wash them slowly, I just saw the shirt, those peacock feathers and pearl gold threads do have some traces of colored fat powder and tea soup.
You don't always think of people as bad, maybe she just trusts you and wants you to help her wash this dress. ”
calmly patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, the light in her eyes was shining, and there was no despair at all.
Zhi Xing looked at these eyes, and suddenly felt less panicked in his heart.
There was a knock on the door outside, and Pei Shaofen and Yuwan walked in, holding two bowls of dishes.
"Eat more, eat this meal, I don't know if there is a next meal." Pei Shaofen kept a straight face and handed them chopsticks.
Calmly took the chopsticks, and a calm smile appeared on his face: "Shaofen, how could it be?" The duty of the Huanyi Bureau is to wash clothes, although the clothes of the ladies do not need to be washed by us, but once in a while, to prove our ability, there is nothing wrong. ”
"Can you wash this shirt?" Pei Shaofen's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
"After washing this shirt, if I can get the appreciation of Concubine Wan, I have a bold idea, I want to ask Shanggong Niangniang's permission to divide the Huanyi Bureau into a division to be responsible for washing the clothes of the harem girls.
The harem lady has a lot of clothes, some of them are only worn once or twice and then rewarded, it is a pity, if you can save this expense, you think there is a lot of silver a year.
Didn't Shanggong Niangniang say that the Queen Mother has often reprimanded her recently, the people's livelihood is difficult, and we must be based on economy and not extravagant and wasteful? As soon as my idea comes out, Shanggong Niangniang will be happy. ”
Smiled calmly.
Pei Shaofen put a chopstick dish in his mouth and sneered: "Let's wait until you wash this noble garment." ”
"After eating, you go out to do business, and give me this garment, and when they come to get it, it is not only intact, but also clean." Calm down.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Inner Service Bureau, Sima Nan was holding a teacup in his hand and thinking about things with straight eyes.
The teacup slowly deformed in his hand, slowly turning into powder and falling onto the table.
Jiang Ming lowered his head and pulled the rice in front of him, he really didn't want to see him move.
For if he does this, it proves that someone is going to suffer.
"That Concubine Wan, what do you think?" Sima Nan spoke.
The rice in Jiang Ming's mouth sprayed on the table, and he sneezed twice in a row, making himself embarrassed.
Sima Nan disliked the owe of his body and stayed away from him.
"Sima Nan, enough is for you, the emperor's mediocrity and incompetence have nothing to do with the harem concubines, they try their best to compete for favor, but also to survive. If you want their lives because of this, it is unkind. In fact, the most important thing you should do is to teach the emperor well, instead of just cleaning up the traitors and thieves around him. ”
Jiang Ming got up and cleaned up the mess on the table, and said solemnly.
"You are wrong, I killed people, and not all of them were for the emperor."
Sima Nan replied with a solemn face, and raised his chopsticks to eat.
