Chapter 3, the lack of money

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Qianlu came to the Tang Ning Hall again, it turned out that the emperor sent some pearl and jade jewelry, including the east pearl and the south pearl, all of which are huge and round pearls; All kinds of hairpins, flat squares, and step shakes filled more than a dozen boxes; A pair of gold hollow inlaid pearl mutton fat jade Ruyi, more than a dozen pieces of various jade pendants, there are carved Fushou Shuangquan, white-headed rich, and three friends of the cold year, among which Su Lai's gaze is the pair of beeswax topaz jade pendants of dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, which reminds Su Curtain of the pair of dragon and phoenix white jade cups that the button concubine gave to Tong's that day.

Zhang Qianlan's gaze was also fixed on the pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants, "Congratulations to Niangniang, the emperor is really different from Niangniang." ”

Su Curtain was flat, and turned his head to ask Mama Ye to register and collect them in the warehouse, these things are extremely valuable, but what Su Curtain lacks is not these things, but money! It's silver! Now she's got all the silver tickets in her pocket!! Now that I'm in the palace, I can't sell anything for silver!

Thinking that the annual salary she promised was only thirty taels, and it was not enough to even give a reward, Su Lian wanted to say to the emperor, can you come to something practical and give more real money?

The maids serving the palace in the Tangning Palace, looking at the appearance of more than 20 people, this is the palace, and there are not many eunuchs.

When the hall was cleaner, Mama Ye asked Su Curtain for instructions, and they all called her, kowtowing to Su Curtain is considered to be a recognition of the Lord, as usual, Su Curtain should be rewarded with silver, but she has no money in her pocket, so she has to ask Mama Ye to choose a few uneyed clothes and satin from the hundred silk horses that the emperor rewarded her, and each person was rewarded with three feet, about enough to make half a body of clothes, but they were happy to kowtow to thank them.

Mama Ye pointed to the names one by one, but Su Lian didn't remember them all. There is a palace maid named Luoyu, who looks like a snail, but her appearance is not the most standard; One of them is called Qiu Lian, who looks very attractive, but it's a pity that Su Lian doesn't like this type; There is also a pair of cousins surnamed Chahar, who are round and pleasing, and their first impression on Su Curtain is quite right, so they left these two to serve them closely. However, Sister Chahar is called Chunhong and Chun Tao.

Mama Ye is a person who can observe words and feelings, so she said: "If the mother appreciates, give them a new name." ”

Su Lian really didn't have the habit of changing people's names, but the sister would please her, so she quickly kowtowed and said, "Please give the master a name!" ”

Su Lian thought of the previous embroidered eyebrows, the word "embroidery" was a bit cheesy in later generations, but in ancient times, it was a good word for the name, so they should make an embroidery screen and embroidery floor. Then Luo Yu and a little palace maid named Yun'er were kept as close servants, and the rest were handed over to Mama Ye for distribution.

The needlework room was set up in a small pavilion on the east side of the Lanning Palace, and more than a dozen needlework people, sure enough, were fast in their hands and feet, and several clothes were made on the third day. A bright blue satin flag suit with wide sleeves, lined with white plain silk, embroidered with a very gorgeous double round gold thread and peacock feather thread with large blooming peonies and peacocks, called "rich flowers", just look too dazzling! Su Curtain only called to put it away, but put on another collared jacket skirt, with a moon-blue long jacket on the upper body, and the sleeves were slightly closed pipa style, inlaid with silver-red gold edges, embroidered with delicate eight treasure ruyi patterns; The lower body is equipped with a begonia red horse face skirt, and there are tassel patterns on the skirt, which are auspicious patterns.

Su Curtain looked in the mirror, the plain jacket and the red skirt were very pressable. The jacket skirt of Hanfu is this feature, and it can't be gorgeous on the lower body, but it must be matched with a plain and a deep match.

"Which needleman made this garment?" Su Curtain couldn't help asking, craftsmanship is secondary, and the charm is very appetizing to Su Ran.

Mama Ye said: "It's a needlework palace maid surnamed Wei." ”

Su Lian heard that it was a needlework maid, presumably not very old, Su Lian didn't remember which one, and he didn't recognize it when he kowtowed, so he said: "I have a green jade moire hairpin in my dressing box, take it to her." ”

For several days, the emperor did not come, but things were transported here day after day, the first day sent needlework and thread, silk and satin clothing, leather, the second day sent countless jewels and jewelry, and on the third day a whole five carts and 1,000 catties of red charcoal.

Su Curtain is very much like a wail, can you give me some silver? Zhang Qianlan came to repay the reward, and Su Lian couldn't give a silver reward! Those jewelry and clothes are all things for women, and she can't give them to him!!

Su Lian lived a luxurious life, but she felt that she was poor.

Forbidden City, Jingren Palace.

Concubine Tong looked outside the hall from afar, looked at the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace, couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart, and moistened her eyes, "The previous child was needlework and materials, yesterday was jewelry, and today is a thousand catties of red charcoal." She couldn't help but show a sour smile: "The red basket charcoal used in the winter sun and moon in this palace is only four hundred and fifty catties, and the emperor is afraid that she will be frozen in the palace, so he gave so much at once." ”

Mama Gao hurriedly comforted: "It's just some external objects, and the position is the tightest!" It is inevitable that the emperor will have a new love, and the mother doesn't have to go too far to her heart, but she suffers herself. ”

Concubine Tong's smile was even more bitter: "Although the emperor has been having new loves over the years, he hasn't broken the rules for any of them!" "Now that Wu Yashi is pregnant, she can also be said to be favored, but she is far from being compared with that one. She had seen that the Ussuri clan had entered the emperor's eyes, but there was that kind of strange disappearance, but somehow, in less than a year, she was in the palace, and she was suddenly pampered by thousands of people.

"That's it, it's the queen who should be worried now. A thousand catties of red charcoal, a hundred horses of silk, such a luxurious monthly example, but it can be compared with the queen's share. Concubine Tong said quietly.

At this time, a small eunuch outside came to report: "The noble Wu of the side hall has come to greet Niangniang." ”

Concubine Tong hurriedly restrained the bitterness on her face, and said dignifiedly: "Didn't this palace order it earlier, so as to avoid asking for peace, everything is based on the imperial heir in her womb?!" Let's tell her to go back and take care of it! He also instructed Mama Gao: "Go and ask a doctor to take a look at her." ”

As soon as he gave the order, Xu Changan, the chief eunuch of Jingren Palace, hurriedly ran back: "Niangniang, the emperor is hiding from people, and he has already left the palace!" ”

Concubine Tong couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, and said after a long time: "I know......" She is in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, and many things can't be hidden from her eyeliner, but what if she can't hide it, the emperor should go or will go, all she can do is help the emperor hide it from the concubines.

When the emperor came to Changchun Garden, Su Lian was wearing a jacket and skirt, and was exercising Tai Chi under the apricot and plum trees in the Tangning Palace. Today, after all, there is no snow, and the sun is out, and the sun is shining warmly, so I came out to do Tai Chi.

The Tang Ning Hall is headed by Mama Ye, and no one talks about the rules, what does she want to do, Mama Ye will only take a few palace maids to wait and wait for orders. I have to say that this Mama Ye is quite comfortable for Su Lian, and she is really more comfortable than living in the palace.
