Chapter 784 is intriguing
Of course, this is just her own idea, and she hasn't told Zhuang Siyan yet, and I don't know if she agrees.
Concubine Zhen was apprehensive in her heart, but she felt that the sooner this matter was settled, the better, she always felt that if it dragged on like this, there might be more troublesome things in the future.
The Xuan Hall was in front, and Concubine Zhen, who was far away, saw Ping'er coming out of it, as if she was still holding something in her hand and walked out.
At this time, Ping'er also saw her, and hurriedly came over to give a salute first, and then asked, "Concubine Zhen, but you have something to do with the queen's mother?" ”
Concubine Zhen said: "There are some things to discuss with the queen's mother, but the Xuan Palace is not something that I can enter and exit at will, and I also bother Miss Ping'er to go back." ”
Ping'er naturally didn't shirk, handed over the things in her hand to a little palace maid who followed, explained a few words to her, and watched her leave, before returning to the Xuan Palace to return to Zhuang Siyan.
Soon, Ping'er came out again and directly invited Concubine Zhen in.
Concubine Zhen sees Zhuang Siyan now, and she never messes with the number of courtesies, it should be one is one, it should be two is two.
After the salute, the two hosts and guests sat down, and Zhuang Siyan spoke first: "Concubine Zhen's complexion is good, it seems that the illness is so down-to-earth." ”
Concubine Zhen hurriedly thanked her for her care.
Zhuang Siyan is also a transparent person, she can see from her expression that something is wrong, and when she saw that she hesitated and refused to speak, she spoke first.
"As soon as you get better, you are in a hurry to come to the Xuan Palace to find me, won't you just thank you?"
When she asked this, she could be regarded as picking up Concubine Zhen's words.
It's just that she didn't express her intentions directly, first apologized to Zhuang Siyan for what happened some time ago, and then thanked her again.
The polite Zhuang Siyan was almost lazy to deal with it, so he finally got to the point.
"Queen Mother, for so many years, I have been in the palace, and my family is far away from my hometown, although I have family affection with them, I have little contact."
As soon as she said this, Zhuang Siyan immediately understood what she meant.
She knew about Concubine Zhen's entry into the palace, she heard about it from other concubines, and heard it from Ling Tiancheng.
Concubine Zhen might have really liked Ling Tiancheng before, but she really wanted something from him.
Glory and wealth, saying that no one loves it, is really not very believable.
It's a pity that over the years, she has not mixed well, and she really hasn't helped the family.
Now that he mentioned it, he only said the first half, and before he opened the second half, Zhuang Siyan had already guessed the meaning.
She smiled and said: "Concubine Zhen, now you are in charge of the account books in the palace, and the expenses of the Internal Affairs Office are also at your disposal. ”
Concubine Zhen hurriedly said: "No, no, no, the queen mother misunderstood, the concubine didn't want to take the things of the palace, but ...... I just want to ask, the ...... that the emperor and the queen rewarded before"
"Don't even ask about those things, didn't I just tell you that what you are rewarded with is yours. You have been in the palace for so many years, in other people's words, there is no merit and hard work, and those are what you deserve. It's just that I have to remind you that it is easy to get out of the palace, but who will it fall into, and what will it be used for, you have to pay attention to it, come to think of it, you should also know about the third princess Su Ning, right? ”
Naturally, I knew that Su Ning was like that in the palace at that time, and although Concubine Zhen didn't go out, she was also scared half to death.
Although a long time has passed, Concubine Zhen is still very scared when she thinks about it now, and at the same time, she admires Zhuang Siyan even more.
In that case, she was just a weak woman, and she would react like that
and even protected the Ouchi guards.,It's really amazing to think about.。
But this is not the time to say these words, everything about Su Ning has only passed in front of Concubine Zhen's eyes.
She quickly adjusted, and replied to Zhuang Siyan's words: "Niangniang, don't worry, only those unmarked gold and silver beads will be transferred out, and nothing else will be moved." ”
After speaking, he lowered his head again: "Even if these things are these things, they shouldn't have been taken out of the palace, but the concubines have been really ...... over the years."
"I understand, you just need to know the proportions yourself, the family still has to be careful, if you don't have a reliable biography over there, I have it here, so it's safe and you don't have to worry about it."
What went out of the palace left and right, he couldn't hide it from Zhuang Siyan's eyes, and Concubine Zhen could let it go: "Then thank you to the queen." ”
One thing is done, and one thing is your own.
This concubine is said to be neat, borrow silver, sign an IOU, and then repay it with interest, even if Zhuang Siyan can't borrow it here, she also wants to borrow it from elsewhere after she goes out, and she must do something so as not to starve herself to death.
As for going out, Zhuang Siyan had already asked her, and it shouldn't be abrupt to bring it up at this time.
Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, Zhuang Siyan immediately agreed.
What was better than Concubine Zhen expected was that the queen had even thought of her way out, which was exactly what she wanted.
Concubine Zhen was about to kneel down and kowtow immediately, but was pulled up by Zhuang Siyan: "You don't need so many courtesies, if you go out of this palace, we will also have an equal relationship, why do you need this?" ”
Concubine Zhen's eyes were full of tears: "Not to mention that the queen mother will always be the queen mother, even if there is no such relationship, your kindness to Song Zhen is enough to make me bow three times and bow nine times." ”
She said sincerely, if Zhuang Siyan didn't accept her gift, it would be a little bad.
But it was also explained in advance that it was enough to bow down, and kneeling would be exempted.
If so, Concubine Zhen's matter was all settled, but in a few days, Concubine Zhen was sent back to her hometown with the silver exchanged for gold, silver, pearls and jade from the palace, and she herself also left the palace with a title deed of a restaurant inn.
It is difficult to find reliable people for a while, but in the capital, there is someone who Zhuang Siyan is familiar with, so he entrusted Song Zhen's matter to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning, a drunken bastard, used to run through the streets and alleys, and the people he knew were even more three-minded.
Find two reliable shopkeepers to run, it is not a problem at all, before the New Year, Song Zhen's affairs will be stopped.
Zhuang Siyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was really good that Song Zhen could figure this matter out by herself and take the initiative to go out, she was still worried that if he and Ling Tiancheng brought it up, she would have any bad reactions.
It's just that after she left, the mess in the harem fell on Zhuang Siyan.
She really didn't want to pay attention to those things, and she couldn't find a suitable person with the person in her hand, so she could only discuss it with Ping'er in the end.
Ping'er can pay attention to her: "There are few people in the harem now, and there is nothing to do, but there is a palace banquet or something, and there will be more things." But at that time, there is a Ministry of Rites and an Internal Affairs Office, so Niangniang doesn't have to worry about this at all. ”
"But those people in the Internal Affairs Office are always cheating and tricking in their work, and the last time Concubine Zhen was there, didn't they find out a lot of loopholes?" Zhuang Siyan said.
Ping'er laughed: "The water is clear and there are no fish, although this is not right in the palace, but the reason is also the same, as long as it is not too much, it can be passed, besides, they don't dare to do too much in front of the queen, right?" ”
Saying this, it really gave Zhuang Siyan confidence.
However, after all, there is still Wan Liwan in the palace, and she used to have someone to accompany her, but now as soon as Song Zhen leaves, she really has nowhere to go.
Although she has lived with Zhuang Siyan for a while, this girl has never been close to people.
She looks gentle, but she is not very easy to speak, as if everything is hidden in her stomach, and others can't figure out what she is thinking, and she doesn't want to tell others.
If she can live in peace, she will be fine, and after a long time, she will figure it out, like Song Zhen, maybe she will want to go out by herself one day.
What Zhuang Siyan is afraid of is that she lives in the palace alone, does not talk to people, does not interact with people, and before she goes out, she will make something wrong with herself again.
But also thinking about it, she really couldn't think of a solution for a while, so she put it aside.
Although the matter in the palace has not been resolved, there is good news outside.
After Song Zhen went out, she quickly recruited the guys in charge of the shopkeeper and redecorated the restaurant and inn in her hand.
She was a genius at the point, but she couldn't even read the words from that book, but she could absorb many useful things from it.
Zhuang Siyan wondered that the interior design that could not be solved by electric lighting, under her ingenious arrangement, even lighting oil lamps could also create another charm.
Zhuang Siyan entered the inn and looked at it, and immediately admired it.
Obediently, this is a modern hotel, in the future, the inn of the Dasheng Dynasty will no longer be just for travelers to rest, but can be like modern times, who thinks their home is uncomfortable, you can go out to enjoy a special service.
The decoration of the restaurant is also unique, in short, at this time, there is only one in the entire capital, there is no comparison.
So when it opened, it was unimaginably lively.
In the streets and alleys, there is an endless flow of people, people who come to eat, people who come to visit, people who come to learn experience, all kinds of people.
Song Zhen washed all the glory in the palace, dressed in plain clothes, without even a silver hairpin on her head, only a bamboo hairpin was simply pinned, but it was carved with a pleasing pattern, which looked chic and cute.
She does not refuse to come, as long as she enters the door, whether she eats or not, or whether she lives in the hotel, she treats her with courtesy.
In just a few days, her restaurant inn has become the best in Beijing.
With the same money, people naturally want to go to better places, enjoy better services, eat the best things, and stay in the best places.
And the characteristics of her store are difficult for others to imitate even if they see it.
A bunch of people who are anxious to emulate are desperate, but they can't do anything.
Zhuang Siyan was naturally happy, and originally thought that as soon as she opened, if the business was deserted, she would take someone to the scene first.
As a result, she took someone with her, and she didn't even have a place to sit, so she had to let Song Zhen make special arrangements.
In addition, the food here is also good, not more than the variety in the palace, but one by one, all of them are delicious and intriguing.
The most important thing is that for each dish, Song Zhen gave it a meaningful name.
It was also at this time that Zhuang Siyan knew how many talents were buried in that place in the palace.
With Song Zhen's talent, if it were in modern times, I am afraid that she would have become a rich woman a long time ago, what kind of little wolf dog and little milk dog do you want?
But he was born in this era and was sent to the palace, which was missed for half his life.
