Chapter 11: New Officials Take Office (1)
Dou Fang asked people to clean up the house and invited Zhong Weiwei to drink tea: "I recently got a little good tea, and I have been reluctant to drink it, but it just so happens that you are here, just borrow your hand to enjoy it." ”
Liguo is rich in tea, tea accounts for a large proportion of people's livelihood, tea ceremony is prevalent, Zhong Weiwei is one of the masters, she is not polite, and followed Dou Shangyi into the house with a smile.
Dou Shangyi instructed the palace people again: "Go and invite Zhu Shangyi and Wang Tongshi." ”
Zhu Shangyi Zhu Yu is Dou Shangyi's deputy, that is, Zhong Weiwei's other top boss, and Wang Tongshi and Wang Chu are Zhong Weiwei's partners.
In the future, everyone must work together to have a good relationship in order to cooperate well, Zhong Weiwei cheered up, took out his housekeeping skills, and carefully cooked a pot of excellent tea.
The four of them were in harmony, drinking tea and chatting, and the other three inevitably had a lot of speculation about the relationship between Zhong Weiwei and the new emperor, and tried to talk several times.
Wang Chu even sourly thought that the reason why Chonghua turned Zhong Weiwei, a living room, into a harem Tongshi was because he fell in love with Zhong Weiwei.
"How is that possible!" Zhong Weiwei smiled "haha": "That's because Your Majesty loves to drink the tea I make, not to mention that I write well." ”
But Dou Shangyi and the others obviously didn't believe this reason, but were even more skeptical.
Four years ago, Zhong Weiwei came to the palace from Cangshan as the daughter of Zhong Nanjiang, the first Confucian in the country, and amazed the four with her good tea art, and then won the praise of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty with a good word.
Emperor Yong was overjoyed and praised her for her great talent.
Everyone thought that Emperor Yong would include her in the harem, but Emperor Yongdi did not take the usual path, and named her as the living room of the sixth grade, making her the first female official of the foreign dynasty since the founding of the Li Dynasty.
Since then, he has been favored, but he has never gone beyond the normal category, saying that he is a monarch and a minister, more like a father and daughter.
And now, with the new emperor Chonghua, she has made a history of Tong. If you really cherish your talents, just continue to let her be a living room and accompany her at any time, why do you have to be in the palace?
It's clear that it's greasy! It's right to change from an official in the outer court to a female official in the inner court, and then to a concubine.
Wang Chu was even more sour: "Sister Zhong is dishonest, who doesn't know that His Majesty once worshiped Ling Zun as a teacher?" Your brothers and sisters have been getting along for many years, why do you have a little affection? ”
Zhong Wei is the only one who is crazy, God knows, what she is most annoying about is the guessing game between the harem women, but it is just a broken history, and there are so many sayings.
She rolled her eyes and said bluntly: "Sister Wang, you can see clearly, what can I look like?" ”
Wang Chu stared at her and smiled: "Sister Zhong is sincere. But don't be inferior, in fact, you can be regarded as a middle-aged person, although the chest is a little flat, the buttocks are a little smaller, but the victory is in the waist, the temperament is outstanding, there is an inner show, maybe our majesty likes you. ”
You have low self-esteem! Thought I didn't know you had cotton stuffed in your chest?
Zhong Weiwei grinded his teeth and smiled fakely: "Sister Wang is a great beauty, you have to work hard!" ”
Wang Chu was embarrassed: "People are female officials, not concubines." However, Your Majesty is really heroic and beautiful......"
Zhong Weiwei smiled: "Your Majesty is not only heroic and beautiful, but also very amorous." ”
"Really?" Wang Chu immediately regarded Zhong Weiwei as a confidant, leaned over and asked, "Was Your Majesty very amorous in Cangshan back then?" ”
Zhong Weiwei stretched out a hand: "You want to know?" Ten taels of silver asked one thing. ”
smiled at the two Shangyi flatteringly: "The two Shangyi don't have to give, when I am filial." ”
The fastest person in the palace to die is a man with many tongues, Dou Shangyi found an excuse and escaped.
Although Zhu Shangyi wanted to hear it, she didn't dare to cause trouble, so she followed the urine.
Wang Chu hesitated again and again, but still touched ten taels of silver and gave it to Zhong Weiwei: "It's not that I want to know, it's someone else who asked me to inquire, what kind of woman does Your Majesty like?" ”
Zhong Weiwei's gaze was a little sloppy: "Is the woman Your Majesty likes...... Noble and beautiful, with the posture of a captivating city. "That's how the guy who beat her back then, right?
How rare is a beauty in a captivating city! I can't find a few in the whole country.
Wang Chu was lost for a while: "Is Your Majesty a sweetheart?" ”
Zhong Weiwei suddenly lost his interest: "Fifty taels of silver." ”
Wang Chu was so frightened that he clutched his money bag: "Why don't you go and grab it!" ”
Zhong Weiwei bared his teeth: "What is robbing people?" Willingness is the real skill. If you don't want to know, forget it, I'm gone! ”
Wang Chu pouted and said very unhappily: "I didn't bring so much money, you say it first, and then I will have someone send it to you." ”
Zhong Weiwei got up and left, Wang Chu grabbed her and touched a silver ticket: "Say it quickly!" ”
After Zhong Weiwei verified the silver ticket, he was in a much better mood: "Your Majesty is amorous, see one and love the other; The taste is changeable, and he loves both congee and dishes. ”
Wang Chu bit his lip and took out another silver ticket: "There is always a commonality, right?" ”
The second senior brother is really valuable. Zhong Weiwei looked at the silver ticket, and the unhappiness and grievances accumulated over the past few days immediately faded a little, and he didn't reject the position of Tongshi so much.
She smiled and went to pick up the silver ticket, pretending to be polite: "Let's work together in the future, it's not good for you to be so polite." So, in addition to this question, I would like to include an exclusive piece of inside information. ”
Wang Chu despised her: "I really think I'm polite, just don't take money." ”
Zhong Weiwei immediately hid the silver ticket and didn't give Wang Chu a chance to repent: "Your Majesty likes women with thin waists. The bonus news is that His Majesty has not been in a good mood lately. ”
"Can that be counted?" Wang Chu forced her to return the money: "At least return me ten taels of silver." ”
"No retreat! Can you spit it out after eating? Wish for the moon! Zhong Weiwei resolutely refused to retreat.
First, she was poor and urgently needed silver for emergency relief; Second, countless people in this palace are staring at her, and she can't behave too well to speak.
Establish the rules first, don't open your mouth if you don't have money, you can block many people's mouths.
Wang Chu glared at her fiercely, Zhong Weiwei didn't sell it if he got cheap: "I'll invite you to tea another day." ”
Suddenly, someone outside asked, "Is Zhong Tongshi inside?" Your Majesty proclaimed her. ”
What are you going to do? It's still filial piety, Chonghua can't just be in a hurry to ask her to arrange someone to sleep or something, right?
Zhong Wei was the only one hundred reluctantly, and slowly touched out: "What did Your Majesty announce about me?" ”
The little eunuch who passed the word was even more bullish, and sent her a white eye: "How do I know? Your Majesty said, if Zhong Tongshi can't catch up with a stick of incense, continue to eat cold steamed buns! ”
Before the words fell, Zhong Weiwei had already rushed out.
Zhong Weiwei ran to the outside of the Qingxin Hall in one breath, holding on to the door frame and panting: "Minister...... Minister...... To Your Majesty...... Please ...... it."
"Eat steamed buns at night." Chonghua motioned for her to look at the incense burner, and the incense inserted in it had long been burned out.
Who knows when this incense was lit? If you want to withhold her food, you will say it clearly.
Zhong Weiwei didn't do it: "Your Majesty is unfair. ”
Chonghua glanced at her coldly: "Eat steamed buns tomorrow morning." ”
Zhong Weiwei was not convinced: "Shangyi Bureau is so far away from the Qingxin Palace......"
"Eat steamed buns at noon tomorrow."
Zhong Weiwei's teeth itched: "The minister is guilty, I don't know what His Majesty has to call the minister over, what is the order?" ”
Chonghua pointed to a set of tea sets in front of him, and asked arrogantly: "Wandering and eating white food all day long, do you know how to write the word ashamed?" ”
