The wind in the courtyard of the duty room shook the sky, and the doors of the six departments were closed tightly, and no wind could leak in.

There is a small window open in the east side of the house, the gap is not big, and the sound of the rattling plan is the same as the monk knocking on the wooden fish, and it can't be stopped.

The waiter of the ministry smiled and took a sip of tea, "Zhang Ji is really hardworking, and he will be evaluated for his performance at the end of the year." ”

"I'm annoying to death, I'm afraid that the officials won't be able to hear it, pretending to hide in the house to settle accounts, and have the ability to go to the Ministry of Rites to arrest people." The waiter of the Ministry of Works was persistently drawing a construction drawing, and he scolded without raising his head.

Several adults in the Criminal Department, including Shangshu Guo Rui, felt that the clear sound of this abacus was much better than the screams of the prisoners in the prison, and took advantage of the fact that the situation was clean and looked at a few more cases.

Miss Bilan was led into the compound by the little official, and she heard the sound of planning and scolding in the east, but the west side was as quiet as a chicken.

The days are getting cooler day by day, although Li Chongshan's body is still very tough, but he can't stand the age of sixty-two, and when the wind is strong, he moved into the warm pavilion.

Gu Chengming has always been in charge of the big and small things in the room outside, and when he saw that the little official led a little girl he had never seen before and came in without reporting, his face was very ugly.

"Lord Shilang, this girl is here to bring food to Lord Shangshu."

The little official figured out that Gu Chengming was angry, and he was a little disdainful at the moment, but his face was still trembling.

"Lord Li's food has always been delivered by the steward, what's the matter, it's changed?" Gu Chengming stood with his hands in his hands, and his eyes did not leave Bilan for a moment.

Bi Lan met his gaze, bent his legs and saluted, his voice was like a steamed and soft lotus root, glutinous and long, and the tactful tail note was like biting off the silver filament pulled out of the lotus root.

"Lord Qiyu, the steward had a stomach trouble when he went out today, so he asked me to bring lunch to Lord Li."

In the warm pavilion, Li Chongshan had already heard Bilan's unique voice, and raised his voice to say outside: "Cheng Ming, let her in." ”

When she entered, the door of the warm pavilion was immediately closed, and Gu Chengming didn't even have a chance to listen to it.

"What's her name? Is it the same as Magpie Bridge? ”

Queqiao often came to send manuscripts to Li Chongshan, and every time he had to be reported by the officials to enter the warm pavilion, he came and went, and Gu Chengming was also familiar with her.

But today's girl is different from the past, the shelf is even bigger than the Queqiao, and when I see him, I am accustomed to calling myself "I".

The little official can also endure it, from meeting with Bi Lan to coming in, he inquired about a belly of good goods in a few words.

"The girl's name is Bilan, don't look at her unknown adult, her background is not small." The little official covered his mouth with his hand, leaned into Gu Chengming's ear and muttered: "The big red Oriental Doctor in front of the concubine is her master!" ”

The lady said that when the weather turned cold, she would not give the adults to eat the fruits that were cold, so as not to make a stomach trouble like the steward. In case the emperor summons him temporarily, it is not good to lose his etiquette in front of the holy car. ”

After Bi Lan conveyed Mrs. Li's meaning, four side dishes and a hot soup were already on the table.

Li Chongshan cleaned his hands, but he was not in a hurry to eat.

The housekeeper had already arranged for him to have a stomach problem, in order to give Bi Lan a try, if she withstood it, she would naturally have a happy life in the future.

"Madame said that your rouge is very well made, what kind of craftsmanship can you do besides this?"

Bi Lan's heart moved, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"The master only taught me the art of making rouge and paste, and even if I wanted to learn anything else, he refused to teach it."

That is, the medical skills have not been passed on to the apprentice at all, Li Chongshan stroked his beard and smiled, "Your master must have his considerations." ”

After eating two bites of food, he remembered a pot of heavenly thorns sent by Gu Chengming, so he pointed to Gao Ji behind him and said: "This bonsai is placed here, and I don't have time to take care of it, you take it back and give it to Madame." ”

"Okay." Bi Lan responded, holding the heavenly thorn bonsai that dragged the ground and exited the warm pavilion.

Xu saw a clump of green and lovely, buried his head and sniffed deeply, Li Chongshan saw it, thoughtful.

"Little girl, come here!"

Bi Lan just left the duty room of the military department, and under the eaves on the east side stood a person, his skin was as white as the moon, his hair was black and shiny, combed up and tied into a ball, fixed with an ebony hairpin. He didn't wear a black gauze hat on his head, but there was a deep mark on his forehead.

"My lord looking for me?"

She glanced at the open door behind him, and saw a black-lacquered abacus resting on the table, like a fixed accounting in common use, and the surface of the abacus beads was shiny.

Bi Lan hurriedly blessed her, "The folk girl has eyes and doesn't know the head of the household, so it's no wonder that Lord Zhang is not surprised." ”

Zhang Ji originally came out to breathe, and saw a delicate and lovely little girl coming out of the duty room of the military department, dressed a little like a maid, thinking that the red sleeves of adding tea and water to the courtyard of the duty room were added, so she was called.

I don't want to be a girl from a good family, and I only glanced at the house, and I guessed his surname Zhang, and asked with some curiosity: "Looking at your face, how can you recognize this official?" ”

"When I came, the doorkeepers told me that my lord's abacus ......"

"Ahh Zhang Ji held his forehead and laughed for a while.

He is indeed easy to forget himself when he makes calculations, and the people in this compound should be annoying him, and they dare not come over to shout, so they have to chew their tongues behind their backs to vent their anger.

"Where is Miss Gu going with the Heavenly Thorns?"

Zhang Ji saw Gu Chengming hug this bonsai a few days ago, and he never even changed the porcelain pot, and when he heard Bilan take a "me", he thought that she was also surnamed Gu.

As soon as Bi Lan heard it, he knew that Zhang Ji had misunderstood.

Zhang Ji didn't look like a person with a small belly, even if he pointed out his mistakes, he wouldn't be too angry, but Bi Lan weighed it and stopped thinking about correcting it.

"I'll take it home." If you are blessed again, Bi Lan will say goodbye.

At this time, the door of the duty room of the Ministry of Rites on the opposite side opened, and Ren Shuhua crossed his waist and shouted: "Come on, Master Shi is sick, go to the street to find a doctor!" ”

When the doorman heard something from afar, he had already jumped out of the courtyard gate and squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.

"That girl holding the basin, don't shake your head, it's you who is called......"

Ren Shuhua was so tired that he was sweating profusely, took a deep breath and said, "Throw aside the broken basin in your hand, go to the backyard to boil hot water and send it in!" ”

Zhang Ji defended Bilan: "Lord Ren, she is not a girl. ”

"Of course I know that she is not a girl, otherwise why would I call her, I said Zhang Ji Zhang, you made a calculation all morning, and Lord Shi suddenly palpitated and fell to the ground, are you ashamed?"

"This officer—"

Bi Lan turned to Zhang Jifu, "Thank you Lord Zhang for speaking for me, but because of this, the adults and the adults of the Ministry of Rites are not in harmony, and I will become a sinner." ”

She found a corner where she didn't move around, put the bonsai there, hurriedly ran into the duty room of the Ministry of Rites, and after a while, she came out with a copper basin and went straight to the backyard.

In the duty room of the Ministry of Rites, Ren Shuhua's scolding and Hao Tingmei's persuasion were constantly heard.
