Chapter 260: We Are Friends
When there were two of them left in the hall, Concubine Rong took out a box and handed it to Zhuang Siyan.
Zhuang Siyan was puzzled, and he didn't reach out to take the thing, but just looked at Concubine Rong and asked, "Sister, what does this mean?" ”
Concubine Rong could only open the box by herself, and inside was a golden hairpin inlaid with red gemstones, in the afternoon sun, the golden color and the light of the ruby reflected each other, which was very dazzling.
Concubine Rong said: "I know that my sister has seen a lot of good things, and it is not uncommon for such small objects to be seen. However, for my sister, this golden hairpin is already the most valuable, and my sister takes her most valuable object to give to her sister. ”
Zhuang Siyan didn't even smile at this time, just looked at her and said, "Since it is your most precious thing, of course it is inconvenient for me to ask for it." You're right, I've seen a lot of good things, it's not bad for this one, you better take it back. ”
Rong Concubine: "......"
Her face changed color in an instant, and her mouth was open for a long time, unable to catch the next words.
Originally, I took this golden hairpin, just to ask Zhuang Siyan for something, but before I said this, she blocked it back, so how to fix it later? Do you want to go back with your own things?
Zhuang Siyan sat down calmly, admiring enough of the color on Concubine Rong's face, before softening his tone and said: "I just don't need such a thing, you can also see, I usually don't even wear hairpins and hoops, so it's a waste to put such a valuable object here for me, so you should take it back and use it yourself."
But we are waiting for the emperor in the harem together, if you have anything, you can still ask me, if you can help me, I will try to help you, if you can't help, even if you receive this thing, I can't help either. ”
Concubine Rong also heard it, Zhuang Siyan's attitude was to tell her, things can be said, can I help you or not.
If she hadn't reached this point, she wouldn't want to put down her face and come to her, but Concubine Rong has been uneasy recently, and she always feels panicked, as if something is going to happen, so she can only come to Zhuang Siyan.
I thought about it in my heart, and I changed a mask on my face, and said sadly and pitifully: "My sister has been in the palace for more than three years, although the emperor has spoken a few times, but she has never been able to have the emperor's blue eyes, and she is not afraid of my sister's jokes, and the emperor has never stayed in Changchun Palace until now." ”
Zhuang Siyan said "sleeping" in his heart, this feeling is to ask me to help cuckold himself, there is still such an errand in the world, and it is really strange that he can find his own head.
However, Concubine Rong was still saying: "My sister has nothing to ask for, I just ask my sister to persuade the emperor, even if it is ...... Even once, let my sister have an heir, and in the future there is a support in the palace, I am very grateful to be able to rely on it for the elderly. ”
Probably Concubine Rong herself felt that she had said something shameless and out of order, so she didn't even dare to raise her head and kept lowering it.
On the contrary, Zhuang Siyan was like no one, listening to what she said, he looked at her quietly for a while before he spoke: "People say that Concubine Rong is the smartest woman in this harem, and the ice and snow are clear, why are you confused when you say this today?" ”
Concubine Rong immediately looked up at her, and as soon as she came into contact with Zhuang Siyan's eyes, she was busy lowering her head.
Zhuang Siyan took his words: "Although I am a concubine and you are a concubine, in this harem, our status is the same, and to the emperor, we are just her women."
She is also her woman, what qualifications do I have to persuade him to stay in which palace?
This kind of thing, of course, is that he can go wherever he likes, if others open their mouths, they will annoy him with what they say, and they will ignore you again.
Don't you say, Concubine Rong? ”
When Zhuang Siyan spoke seriously, she spoke very quickly, and these were all watched on TV before, she usually had nothing to do and could practice and play with her colleagues, so it was like memorizing lines, and she told Rong Concubine about it.
At the end, he also educated her: "In this harem, how can there be any old people who have no one to rely on, things like ours, it is difficult to say whether they can live to old age, can you give birth to a child in the future and let him become a motherless child in this harem?" ”
She originally wanted to compare Ling Tiancheng's matter, but then her mind turned and she felt that it was inappropriate, so she stopped it in time.
Anyway, she couldn't say a word that had blocked Concubine Rong this time, her head hung lower, and it wasn't until Zhuang Siyan called her that she slowly raised it, and her eyes were red, and she was crying down.
Zhuang Siyan hurriedly persuaded again: "Why are you crying, am I not playing with you?" You come to me today, talk to me sincerely, I naturally have to be sincere to you, can't you tell me about your personal suffering, I will only say the comforting words of the skin, that is not sorry for the friendship of our sisters. ”
When she finished speaking herself, she thought it was funny, and busied herself with her head pinned to the side.
And Concubine Rong really didn't have the heart to tell what her words meant.
She only has one thought, this road doesn't work, let's go back and rely on my own ability, and this matter can't be spread, otherwise those harem women who are idle all day long won't laugh her to death.
When she got up to go back, Zhuang Siyan followed her out again, sent her to the gate of the palace, and said to her: "Although I can't help you with this matter, I have an appointment with Lord Ling Zunrong tomorrow, and if my sister needs to carry anything, I can do it for you." ”
Concubine Rong's feet paused there suddenly: "Sister is going out of the palace to see my father?" ”
Zhuang Siyan nodded, and said to her without caring at all: "You should know my identity, and your father also knows, so find something to do together." ”
This remark made Concubine Rong's heart go up and down.
She didn't say anything to Zhuang Siyan, but she repaired a letter to her father and sent it out overnight.
The little eunuch sent by Zhuang Siyan to Changchun Palace came back at ten o'clock in the evening to report the incident.
"It's good, as a family, we have to talk to each other, so I can know what they're thinking in time." Zhuang Siyan said to himself.
Ping'er, who was standing beside her, didn't understand, and was about to ask, but Zhuang Siyan had already turned to her and said, "Go get hot water, I'm going to take a bath." ”
Soak in a hot bath, get some good sleep, and the next day you can jump into new battles and earn new money.
Life is still very beautiful, full of sunshine and the hope that spring is coming.
Even Ling Tiancheng was very eye-catching, and he didn't come to disturb her at night, so Zhuang Siyan really slept well.
The next morning, she got up early and went back to her house after leaving the palace.
Ah Si happened to be in the courtyard, saw her coming, helped watch the tea, and told him about the things in the house in the past few days: "Mr. Si, I took Sun Xi home once. ”
Zhuang Siyan let out an "oh", and then remembered that Sun Xi had a problem before, and they kept him in their hands to find his father Sun Youhe, but now the official money has been dug up, and I haven't seen that person come out.
She turned her gaze to Ah Si and asked, "How?" Did you find anything? ”
Ah Si shook his head, very guilty for his reckless actions: "I'm sorry master, I'll take him back, it's just ...... It's just that he said he was homesick, so he went to ....... ”
Zhuang Siyan paused for a moment before replying: "Oh, I see, let's go back, I was originally a child, and we are not under house arrest, and now it doesn't matter if we can find his father or not." ”
Ah Si's face immediately showed joy: "You mean you can let him go home?" ”
Zhuang Siyan was a little puzzled by Ah Si's changes, so he asked him: "What, do you want him to go back?" ”
As soon as she said this, Ah Si seemed to realize that she had lost her words, and immediately lowered her head again: "I just think that he has been here for so long, and it is useless, besides, he is still a child, and he is quite homesick, if it is really useless to us, it is better to let him go back." ”
Zhuang Siyan replied unceremoniously: "Of course it works." Sun Youhe has Luo Ke's incriminating evidence in his hand, and these are likely to involve people who were related to this batch of official silver. Some of these people are still in the court, and they are still doing evil things, if they don't find him out, how can the emperor feel at ease? ”
Ah Si didn't speak, his head still hanging.
Zhuang Siyan said to him: "You take care of him, you can go home, but that's all, you can also tell his mother, if Sun Youhe comes out now and explains the matter of the official bank clearly, he may be able to atone the credit, if one day wait for us to find him, then the matter will be different." ”
I thought that after finishing speaking, Ah Si should do what she said, but I didn't expect Ah Si, who had been low, to suddenly raise his head again.
He also looked at Zhuang Siyan, with no expression on his face, but with incomprehension and dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"All this money has been found, why do you want to catch people? Maybe he didn't want to make a mistake back then, but he was just taken in, and he couldn't help himself. ”
Zhuang Siyan smiled at him, but she herself knew that the smile was not a real smile, but just a smile that Ah Si was too innocent.
She pointed to the stool opposite her: "Sit down, I just have a little time today, let's have a good chat." ”
Ah Si actually sat down too, probably from this moment on, he felt that the debt between him and Zhuang Siyan had been settled, so no matter who she was, he could be on an equal footing with her.
Zhuang Siyan didn't care about these either, she just felt that Ah Si's sudden change might have happened, but she softened her attitude.
He said, "We must have known each other for almost a year, right?" ”
Ah Sihui's clean: "One year and two months." ”
Zhuang Siyan nodded: "Well, it's been so long, but it seems that we haven't talked much, right?" ”
Ah Si was silent for a moment before he spoke: "It's because I usually don't talk much." ”
Zhuang Siyan nodded again: "Yes, you don't usually talk much, but you are very reliable in doing things, so I have always trusted you and regarded you as my friend." ”
When Ah Si heard the word "friend", he turned his body around and glanced at Zhuang Siyan with a somewhat stiff look.
Zhuang Siyan also looked at him, but he didn't stop: "As a friend, you don't talk much, I can understand, after all, everyone is different, so I won't take the initiative to upset you, but can you tell me why you suddenly talk more now?" ”
