Chapter 314: Six Shang Twenty-Four Divisions
Liuli nodded slightly at Xie Qingyu, then turned around and left Zhaoyang Palace.
"You two clean up first, I don't have anything to do here at the moment." After Liuli left, Xie Qingyu turned his head and commanded Xiao Jing and Xiao Rou.
"Yes, Miss Xie." The two palace maids looked at Xie Qingyu very angrily, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes, but after hearing Xie Qingyu's command, they bowed their heads and responded.
Immediately afterwards, the two palace maids went straight to a side room and cleaned up.
Aunt Liuli said that it was Miss Xie before, and they thought it was Xie Yunjin from Prime Minister Xie's family, but after coming to see it today, they found that it was an unfamiliar face.
"Who is this Miss Xie? What is the relationship with the Prime Minister's Xie Ke? After the palace maid Xiao Jing entered the room, she discussed with Xiao Rou.
"Xiao Jing, don't say more, since we are here, no matter what our origins are, we have to take care of them." Xiao Rou then looked around and said very carefully.
Xie Qingyu got up quite early in the morning, and now he had nothing to do, so he simply flipped through the classics at his desk.
Not long after, Xiao Jing and Xiao Rou came in with lunch, Xie read it hastily, and then leaned sideways and collapsed on the bed to rest.
It's just that she hasn't rested for a long time, and Aunt Liuli has already come in.
"Miss Xie, please come with me."
Immediately afterwards, Xie Qingyu followed Liuli all the way forward, but at this moment, Xie Qingyu didn't know where to go to check, and he was a little confused for a while.
"Miss Xie, today we went to the Siyi Division, this time we mainly went to see the clothing and jewelry, and in my hand is the style list that the queen mother personally supervised that day." Liuli looked at Xie Qingyu's puzzled look, and opened her mouth to explain again.
Xie Qingyu only then understood what the purpose of today's action was.
The female officials of the inner palace are composed of six Shang 24 divisions, and the six Shang are also divided into Shang Gong Bureau, Shang Yi Bureau, Shang Fu Bureau, Shang Food Bureau, Shang Sleep Bureau, and Shang Gong Bureau, each of which is subdivided into four divisions, each performing its own duties and being in its own position.
And today, Liuli took her to the Si Yi Division, the Si Yi Division belongs to the Shangfu Bureau, in addition to the Si Yi Division, there are also Si Bao, Si Decoration, Si Zhan, the four divisions are each responsible for the different, and the Si Yi Division is mainly responsible for clothing and jewelry.
Although Zhaoyang Palace is in the inner palace, it is still a place where the people of the harem live, and Liushang is a little farther away, and it has been half an hour since the two of them arrived.
From a distance, Xie Qingyu saw a very gorgeous palace repaired in front of him, with red walls and yellow tiles, but the palace gate was pitch black, implying infinite majesty, and there was a faint sense of coercion.
"This is the Shangfu Bureau, and the Si Yi Division is inside." Liuli looked at the scene in front of her and explained it to Xie Qingyu again.
As soon as the grandmother at the door of the Shangfu Bureau saw Liuli's figure, she hurriedly greeted her.
"Aunt Liuli, what kind of wind blew you over?"
"The queen asked me to bring this, Miss Xie, the winner of Huangyi Academy this time, to check the clothes and jewelry." Liuli looked at the grandmother in front of her, and said naturally with a slight bow.
"It turned out to be Niangniang's order, please come inside, Aunt Liuli please inside, Miss Xie inside, please inside." As soon as Mama heard the queen's mother, the smile on her face deepened a little, and she hurriedly welcomed the two in.
Mama first welcomed the two into the Shangfu Bureau, and then hurriedly said.
"The slave maid will go and inform Lord Shangfu first, Aunt Liuli, Miss Xie, you will wait."
"Don't bother Lord Shangfu, I'm here to check the inspection today, you can take us to the Siyi Division quickly." Liuli refused the old grandmother's opinion without thinking about it, after all, she didn't come to pass on the mother's instructions.
"This, okay." Mama hesitated slightly, but she still took Liuli to Si Yisi.
After a while, several people came to the Siyi Division, and the palace maids inside were preparing various styles of clothing and jewelry.
The space inside is very large, the concubines and His Majesty's queen clothes are placed in different positions, and the positions of outer clothes and underwear are also different, all the clothes are placed by the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and as for His Majesty's clothes, they are even more complicated, and court clothes and regular clothes cannot be mixed.
The clothes made for this birthday banquet were placed in another place, and the court clothes of His Majesty and the Empress were placed separately, from the outer clothes to the inner clothes, which needed to be carefully checked.
The clothes of the palace maids and eunuchs are placed in another place, and the new clothes this time are all made in a hurry, and there are enough palace maids and eunuchs for thousands of people in the entire palace, but fortunately, there are only 100 eunuchs and palace maids serving at the birthday banquet, and it is easy to check.
Xie Qingyu looked at the scene in front of him, almost dazzled, he knew that there were many rules in the palace, but he never thought that there would be so much.
Even the clothes need to be carefully sorted.
The palace maids who come and go are busy dividing all kinds of dresses, and all the palace maids seem to be very busy, and they have no spare time to do anything else.
And there is still a steady stream of sewn clothes sent over to the Shanggong Bureau.
"Aunt Liuli, Miss Xie, these are the clothes used in this birthday banquet, you can order them." Immediately afterwards, Mama led the two to another room and said very politely.
Xie Qingyu looked at the mountains of clothes in front of her, and made a mistake for a while, with so many clothes, she felt that she would not be able to finish the inspection until next year.
"Miss Xie, please." Liuli immediately handed the roster in his hand to Xie Qingyu, and gestured with his eyes.
"Mama, I don't know what the number of these stacks is, but the number of each stack is the same?" Xie Qingyu then seemed to think of something, and began to ask.
"Miss Xie, there are a total of 500 pieces of clothes here, 270 pieces of eunuchs, and 230 pieces of palace maids. Mama didn't expect it for a while when she heard Xie Qingyu say this, and when they first shipped it, they also checked the total number one by one.
When Xie Qingyu heard this, he knew that the shortcut he was thinking of was useless, and he originally wanted to use multiplication to calculate the specific number, but at the moment, there was no law to be found.
But after thinking about it, I was relieved, even if the total number was calculated, but the quality still had to be checked one by one.
Immediately after that, Xie Qingyu looked at the list one by one, although the movements of his subordinates were very fast, but the whole five hundred pieces of clothes, not only to check the number but also to see the quality, even if he wanted to be faster, but there was still no way.
It wasn't until the Si Yi Division closed the workshop that Xie Qingyu inspected three hundred pieces, but there was no way, this palace gate would be closed when the time came.
"Miss Xie, this one is more complicated, we will come back tomorrow, and it will be easier in the future." Liuli looked at Xie Qingyu as if he was tired, and opened his mouth to persuade him.
Among them, the verification is the most troublesome, with a large number and different quality, so she put the matter of Si Yisi for the first time.
"Aunt Liuli has worked hard with me today, Aunt Liuli should go back and rest early." Xie Qingyu listened to Liuli's words, and finally lifted his spirit, and then said to Liuli.
Although Liuli accompanied her to verify, she also helped her a lot, and even put the clothes that had been inspected ready.
"It's okay, it's the same if I send Miss Xie back to Zhaoyang Palace." Liuli looked at Xie Qingyu, who was already tired at the moment, and actually asked him to go back first, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile, and said very naturally.
Along the way, the two of them were speechless, although it was night, but the palace lights on both sides of the palace were on, illuminating the road brightly, and the originally quiet palace was even quieter at night.
After a while, the two finally arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, and Xie Qingyu then sent Aunt Liuli away.
As soon as the two palace maids in Zhaoyang Palace saw Xie Qingyu coming back, they hurriedly prepared hot water and clothed them, and waited for Xie Qingyu to wash.
——
Inside the Fengqi Palace.
"How is that girl doing today?" The queen stroked the Kodan in her hand, and when she saw the glass coming back, she asked very naturally.
"Back to Niangniang, Miss Xie checked very seriously, and the etiquette is quite good, and she is very cautious." Liuli immediately looked at Empress Xiao's blessing, and then said.
She had been secretly observing Xie Qingyu all day today, and she was ready to report to the queen mother at any time.
"She is a member of the Xie family, and now it seems that she must be a person of King Jing, so she must be on guard." The queen still didn't look up, and said indifferently, but a trace of imperceptible ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
Now King Jing's ambitions, who in the imperial city does not know who does not know, but the position of the crown prince is by no means something he can imagine!
"It's Niangniang, but this person is from Jiangnan, and it may not be so useful to the Xie family." Liuli nodded, and then thought of Xie Qingyu's origin, so she told the queen mother.
"What happened to the results of this person that the palace told you to check that day?"
The queen mother listened to Liuli's words, and remembered what she learned that day that Xie Qingyu had ordered Liuli to investigate after winning the top spot in Jiangnan.
"Back to Niangniang, Xie Qingyu is from the Xie family in Jiangning, fifteen years old, and she only won the position of the head of Jiangnan after only one female official, but she is a concubine in the house, and there is also the daughter of the Xie family in Jiangnan in the same examination, but the Xie family in the capital does not want to see the two of them, the two have been living in a broken courtyard in the Xie mansion, Xie Qingyu won the top position in the Wendou list this time, and the Xie family in the capital has long been out of contact with the Xie family in Jiangning."
Liuli slowly talked about the life experience of Xie Qingyu that she had found out before, including her dire situation in Xie's mansion, which was very clear.
"In this way, this Xie Qingyu is very likely not King Jing's person?" When the queen mother heard this, her eyes lit up a little, and then she spoke.
Now although Xie Qingyu is just a person from a small place in the south of the Yangtze River, she won the top spot in the exam this time, and the poems she made have been spread throughout the capital, and strictly speaking, they are still useful.
"It's a sissy."
"Alright, you can go down late at night, and continue tomorrow." Then the queen waved her hand and motioned for Liuli to retreat.
