Chapter 22 The little guy can write
On an errand in the second gate, I can finally see a large number of female compatriots, and most of them are unmarried women. Although opposites attract, as a time-traveler, she still has a more intimate sense of the same sex.
Because she dressed as a man, she was young, and she was already beautiful and likable, sweet-mouthed, ingenious, sisters, sisters, sisters-in-law, and aunts, and knew women's hobbies, and they had a lot of common topics with each other, so they quickly got a large number of maids and daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law.
Of course, there are also those who hate her and always hate not to stumble on her. This kind of pervert who is not good at himself, can't see the good of others, and has to step on three feet even if it has nothing to do with himself, where is there no one? She didn't care at all. People are not money, and it is impossible for everyone to like them.
There is an errand in the inner house, and nine times out of ten she is asked to do it, but she is not greedy for the reward of those copper plates, and she uses it to buy sugar and beans, and eats it with the little guys in the second door, so the reputation among the peers is also good. All of a sudden, everyone praised her, and she became the low-level family member with the best popularity among the lower-class people since the establishment of Yuwang Mansion.
In addition, she also "opened a lecture", when she lived in the Jiading Courtyard, not only Qu Huyun, Kang Hanbai and Niu Man read and read with her, but later even the small family members of Wang Laoshi's faction occasionally came to eavesdrop. She does not hide her selfishness, and generously answers questions, because she understands the thirst for knowledge of young people, which has been the case in ancient and modern times.
Every once in a while, she also went to Lan Wang's house to check the homework of Lan Di and others, and by the way, she enjoyed the borrowed family fun, and her life was busy and fulfilling. If it weren't for those invisible knives still hanging around her neck, she would feel very comfortable spending her life in such an ordinary way.
Isn't that what life is all about?
It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, she doesn't think that if she is kind enough not to pursue the dirty things in the past, others will think the same way as her. So in secret, the matter of inquiring and monitoring Fan Tong has not stopped, there are Qu Huyun and three people inside, and Lan Di and Lan Mei outside, although they have not found anything useful, but they finally found the residence of Fan Tong's outer room.
She scrambled to run errands, just to find out the situation of the Taifu Capital and the Royal Mansion carefully. By the way, find a way to get close to the old housekeeper Xia Shixiong. Then take the stop to find out the bearded man's good looks in Taifudu, the half-old in the embroidery workshop, whether he is looking for her. By the way, what kind of business is there that is bought and sold without capital, and it can be done by her in the palace.
In the past three months, the weather has entered the bleak days at the junction of autumn and winter from midsummer, and her stable days have also come to an end. The reason is very simple, Fan Tong is back with a nasty embryo!
It's just that Sun Fuheng didn't know what means he used, and Lan Wang was not transferred. Now, there are three stewards in the outer courtyard under Sun Fuheng, which should have been two.
At first, it was relatively peaceful. First, Lan Wang was decent and loyal, and he was not a person who liked to part with each other, although he was very disgusted with Fan Tong's character. Second, Fan Tongcai will be reinstated, and he will not do anything immediately, so as not to be too conspicuous. Thirdly, Shi Zhongyu acted cautiously, and even the human offensive in the past few months has also made her interpersonal relationship good, even if Fan Tong wants to, he can't find a place to start.
"Xiaoyu, help me write a letter." On this day, Shi Zhongyu was obediently waiting at the second gate, and Su Ye from Ende Courtyard came to look for her.
Yuwang Mansion has been built for seven years, and there are many old people in the daughters-in-law, but the little maids are newly bought after the Zhao family is in charge, and even the children of the family have been renamed again, most of them are in the name of medicinal materials, probably to look elegant.
Ende House is the residence of the grandmother of King Yu, Murong Ke. If Murong Ke is the ultimate boss in this palace and the chairman of the company, then Zhao and Mama Qi are the deputy general managers. Although Qi is a vice chairman and rarely asks about big and small matters, he is also the vice chairman and has a high status.
In addition, Murong Ke is a big boss who doesn't care about things at all. Therefore, the real boss of the subordinates is the deputy general manager.
It is said that the relationship between King Yu and the Qi family is very good, no less than that of his biological mother and son. Therefore, she was invited to be named Mrs. Decree as a person, and she was an old lady-like existence in the palace, known as Mrs. Qi. It's just that she is low-key, and Shi Zhongyu didn't know about the existence of such a number one person long after coming to the mansion. Basically, the Zhao family, who is in charge, will also let her score three points.
She has a son, named Qi Changgui, who is Murong Ke's brother in name, and is currently working as the general manager of the eighth grade under the city gate. Moreover, he did not buy a house to live in, but lived in an independent courtyard attached to the outer courtyard, called Enshou Courtyard. This situation will make people guess and even beware.
The city gate leader is a gyonggyeongguan who manages a total of 16 gates inside and outside the capital of Taifu, and can be said to be in charge of the security of Gyeonggi. Qi Changgui's position is very low, but as a prince, and he is a very jealous prince, but he is inserted in such an important position, I'm afraid that some people will be restless, right? On the other hand, it's too unscrupulous.
The emperor doesn't care?
Shi Zhongyu had no interest in the affairs of the DPRK and China, and he didn't know much about the official position and the forces of all parties, so after hearing about the Qi family's mother and son, he was just surprised and threw it on the back of his neck. When a person even has a problem eating, the sky falls and it has nothing to do with her, she has a tall top, even if she is affected, her biggest wish is to be a full ghost.
However, the errands who run the second door are generally the little girls in each courtyard, and they only come after getting the orders of the master or the big girl. But sometimes, there are big girls who come in person. From this, Shi Zhongyu also got to know several upper-class white-collar workers, and Su Ye was one of them.
"My sister is writing a letter to her family again." Shi Zhongyu smiled and welcomed Su Ye into the innermost room next to the guest room.
Out of the second gate, there is a row of upside-down rooms, where the visitors take a break, wait for someone from the inner courtyard to greet them, or wait to be called in to return to the matter. The innermost room is quieter, and it is right opposite the corridor into the east courtyard, and Su Ye is called there, which will not be disturbed by people, and people will come and gossip.
Dayan is open, but Su Ye is seventeen years old, and although Shi Zhongyu is only thirteen, he is a "man" after all, so he has to avoid suspicion.
Her thoughtfulness made Su Ye feel ironed, and said with a smile, "But my sister is bothering you?" ”
"My sister has called me, it's my blessing." Shi Zhongyu flattered.
"Look at your clever mouth, I don't know when you will bluff our girl." Su Ye pinched Shi Zhongyu's face, only feeling that it was tender and smooth, better than a girl's.
Shi Zhongyu was not angry either, and still smiled good-naturedly.
Su Ye has a hot and spicy personality, none of the little guys on the second door are not afraid of her, Mrs. Qi spoils her very much, even if she is a little lawless, she is not bad. Shi Zhongyu likes to associate with this kind of rectum-and-belly person the most, saving his mind, and the bad is also bad in the bright face.
At this time, Su Ye was wearing clothes similar to skirts, with a dark pattern of water color, a neat half-turned high bun on his head, a silver four-butterfly hairpin, tied with red silk, a bluestone pendant hanging around his neck, and a bracelet of the same quality.
"What does my sister want to write?" Shi Zhongyu spread out the paper and asked.
"Just tell my brother that he's safe. In addition......" Su Ye smiled, "just say that I begged Mrs. Qi to let my nephew go into Lord Qi's yard on an errand, so that he can clean up as soon as possible, and send people over." Remember, tell him to squeak with me when he comes, and let my nephew learn the rules in the outer courtyard for a few days before going. "Lord Qi refers to Qi Changgui.
Shi Zhongyu listened to her carefully, then thought about the words, and picked up the pen to write.
When the news of her ability to write was inadvertently leaked, the people in the inner court wanted to write letters, and they all begged her to come to her. She never took a shelf, and she couldn't afford it, of course she didn't refuse to come. She thought that she could write, and she wrote quite well, but she was afraid that she would attract jealousy, but at the same time, it would also bring benefits, and now that she was low-key, it was useless, so she took the risk.
Usually, people write letters home, and they have to go out of the house to the booth where they write letters. Writing a letter, ten cents, the words are not as good as hers. And she doesn't want money, at most people give her a penny or two to buy candy to eat, she doesn't shirk, and she will be responsible for sending it to the post station, and people will be happy to find her.
Dayan's postal system is relatively developed, and the post stations in each state capital are also responsible for delivering letters, but they do not deliver letters to the door, and they have to go to special places to pick up letters by themselves to send and receive letters. In Taifudu, the post station is next to the official fighting bureau in Nancheng, Shi Zhongyu is familiar with this trip, and he also likes this trip, because the distance is long, sometimes he can follow the carriage that goes out of the house to do errands, and sometimes he can go out for a long time, and by the way, he helps the little maid and the young daughter-in-law buy some needles and threads, extra rouge gouache or something.
She was an online editor before she was reborn, and she was very good at choosing words and forming sentences, so a letter was quickly written, and she read it carefully to Su Ye. In fact, many big girls know a few words, but big accounting is okay, and it is difficult to write long letters.
"It's good." Su Ye stuffed a big and red apple to Shi Zhongyu, "This is the fruit transported from the south, this season, we can't eat fresh here." Someone gave Mrs. Qi a basket ago, and the old lady rewarded me with two and gave you one to eat. ”
"Thank you, Sister Su Ye." Shi Zhongyu immediately smiled.
Although apples have been cultivated in China for more than 2,000 years, it is the first time she has seen them in this different time and space, and it must be a rare thing, and she can't help but feel extra kind.
"Blessed are you, I want to write a letter, but yesterday you got this rarity." Su Ye nodded her forehead, "Aren't you going to eat yet?" I heard that this fruit will wilt after a long time, and it will not taste good at that time. ”
"Don't." Shi Zhongyu stuffed the apple into his arms, "I want to eat it with my friends in the Jiading Courtyard." ”
Su Ye's eyes flashed, and he felt that Shi Zhongyu was rare, good-looking, could write, had a good mouth, and knew that it hurt people. It's a pity that he is a few years younger and smaller, otherwise......
Thinking of this, I couldn't help blushing and quickly lowered my head.
Shi Zhongyu didn't see Su Ye's appearance, and suddenly remembered the legend about apples in the West, and said with a lot of mouth, "I've heard stories about this kind of fruit before, do you want Sister Su Ye to listen to it?" She didn't know what the apple was called in Dayan, so she didn't dare to say it directly.
"You have a lot of tricks, tell me about it? If it's good, I'll tell the old lady to go back and make her happy. Su Ye said.
So Shi Zhongyu spoke, but he didn't see a flash of figure outside, and someone was eavesdropping.
