One of the palace ladies said hesitantly: "This is not fair, you see the silver ingot in the arms of the green hairpin, it is the champion and the first, and the condition is obviously better than mine." ”

From her words, I could tell that she was called Green Shadow.

An Sheng didn't pay attention to it so carefully, listened to her, paid attention to it, and it was true.

This green shadow is a lot of consideration, this is not good, that is not allowed, now that it is divided, it is picky again. It's just a little silver, and there are no more than two copper plates up and down, but I don't even care about the love between sisters.

The palace people who served in front of the dignified concubine Niangniang, as for this, they have no knowledge?

An Sheng took back the silver taels from the hands of several people, mixed them up, and said with a smile: "Then please ask this Green Shadow sister, you can divide these eight silver ingots equally, how do you think it should be fair?" ”

The palace maid called Green Shadow thought for a while, redivided the silver ingots into two piles, and felt not very satisfied, so she picked them again, put them in the palm of her hand and weighed them carefully, and changed them again.

It's still a bunch of four, but it's just a different color. And in the pile in front of the green shadow, there are three silver coins of the champion and the first, which are obviously selfish.

"Is it divided?" An Sheng asked.

Green Shadow nodded: "It's divided." ”

An Sheng twisted his face to the hosta and said, "You pick a bunch first." ”

The green hairpin took the pile close to the green shadow and put it in his sleeve.

"Why did she pick first?" Green Shadow asked unconvinced.

An Sheng smiled slightly: "These silver coins are divided equally by you, and you also said that they have been divided, and they should be the fairest, not bad up and down, so what does it matter who picks first?" ”

Green Shadow was speechless.

"The little girl is really a little smart." There was a chuckle in the inner sanctum: "This little problem is difficult to think about. ”

The voice is mellow and crisp, with a smile, like a pearl falling on a jade plate.

As soon as these words came out, several palace people gathered their faces together, stepped forward to open the brocade tent, and a beautiful woman with a towering palace bun, a yellow forehead, and a rouge embroidered phoenix and phoenix robe slowly stepped out from behind the brocade tent.

This woman should be the concubine Niangniang.

An Sheng often talked to Yu Jingyun, no big or small, but he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Concubine Niangniang, so he knelt down obediently and kowtowed to Concubine Niang.

Concubine Ji stepped out of the brocade tent, glanced at An Sheng on the ground, and paused: "Why do you look like you're still young, how old are you this year?" ”

An Sheng also felt a headache because of his slightly naïve baby face. In the past, the thin face was not misunderstood, but now the face is round, and the skin is blown and broken, but it is always regarded as a child.

"Back to Niangniang, Ansheng will be seventeen years old in the next year."

"Seventeen?" Concubine Ji glanced An Sheng up and down again: "It looks like it is fourteen or fifteen years old at most." This kind of appearance is not degraded, and there is no intimidating momentum at all. Although it is said that it is born in a closed moon, it can only be regarded as a small jasper at most, which is not atmospheric enough. ”

An Sheng hung his head silently, and commented unceremoniously on Concubine Ji to himself, just smiled.

Concubine Ji waved her hand, stepped forward and sat upright on the first couch, and then said lightly: "Flatten, sit down." ”

An Sheng thanked him for getting up, lowered his head, and sat down sideways on the side, and the palace people stepped forward to offer tea.

"When your father was in trouble, you made the first contribution, I originally thought you were just a coincidence, but now it seems that you are indeed a little clever."

Obedient and listening, An Sheng listened to the tone of Concubine Ji's words, and he understood, those palace people in Shicai, I'm afraid they are just acting for themselves, this is Concubine Ji's temptation for herself, right?

She pursed her lips: "An Sheng didn't dare to take credit, and he relied on Yu Shizi to help." ”

Concubine Ji smiled: "At the beginning, the emperor wanted to reward you, and the palace was very curious, why didn't you want the emperor's reward, but chose a little insignificant yellow and white thing?" ”

An Sheng just thought about it for a while: "An Sheng came from a humble background, and he hasn't seen anything in the world, so he thinks it's still a real money." ”

"Really?" Concubine Ji looked at her meaningfully.

An Sheng's face was unshocked, and he nodded: "Yes." ”

Concubine Ji chuckled, no longer bothered with this question, and instead asked, "I heard that you are now following the cold god doctor?" ”

An Sheng nodded: "Hui Niangniang, yes." ”

"A girl's family, and the daughter of the boudoir, how can she think of showing up and following a man to study medicine? Could it be that you still want to save the world in the future and become a female Huatuo? ”

"My sister is not in good health, but fortunately she was treated by a cold doctor. But because it is an old disease and needs acupuncture-assisted treatment every day, An Sheng followed the cold doctor to learn this acupuncture technique, so as to do his part to be a sister for his sister. ”

Concubine Ji picked up the teacup in her hand, gently stirred the tea leaves floating on the water with the white jade cup lid, and said meaningfully: "But as far as I know, your mother has always treated you harshly, and your relationship with the two younger sisters in the house is not close, and it can even be said that water and fire are incompatible. I didn't expect you to be so righteous, it can be said that you ...... Foolishness! ”

The word foolishness, Concubine Ji accentuated her voice, it was obvious that she was not very satisfied with An Sheng's answer, and felt that it was just a high-sounding excuse.

An Sheng's face did not change, and he slowly spoke: "My sister's body has always been my father's heart disease, I can't sleep at night, and I am worried about my stomach. Ansheng can not pity his sister's body, but he can't be filial to solve problems for his father. ”

Concubine Ji nodded: "Then what books have you read besides studying medicine?" Can you recite poetry? ”

An Sheng doesn't regard Concubine Ji's question as a casual chatter, there must be some reason.

She replied truthfully: "When I was a child, I invited a Mr. Xixi in the house to teach a few simple poetry books, but he was only literate, and he didn't understand poetry and songs. ”

Concubine Ji frowned slightly dissatisfied: "What about the music song and dance?" ”

An Sheng shook his head: "I don't understand." ”

"Female red?"

An Sheng became more and more embarrassed: "I just followed my sister to learn a little rough needlework, and I know how to be a simple female red, but I am not proficient." ”

"In this way, you are not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs?"

An Sheng lowered his head and took a deep breath: "Hui Concubine Niangniang, yes." ”

The concubine was already obviously dissatisfied with her face, and put the tea cup on the table heavily: "Nothing! So what did your mother do in the house that raised you? ”

An Sheng opened his mouth indifferently and slowly spit out two words: "Make a living." ”

"Making a living?" Concubine Ji snorted coldly, slightly disgusted: "Your mother is raising you as a boy?" How did I hear that your fourth sister is only knowledgeable, and in just a few days, she has made a little name in Beijing? ”

An Sheng said softly: "I have dull qualifications and disappointed my mother, so I haven't learned these elegant skills." ”

Concubine Ji said solemnly: "You look down on these elegant talents and skills, right?" This is called tutoring, and from these skills, you can see how a girl's tutoring is. Look at my Hou Mansion, the women taught by my ancestors are all able to take everything and put it down, and they are praised wherever they go. Therefore, the daughter of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion is known for her strict family education, and the daughter who has been raised is also vying to marry. ”

An Sheng heard it in his ears, and he only felt inexplicable, what did Concubine Niangniang mean by deliberately testing herself, and picking her nose and eyes? How is her own tutoring, and what does it have to do with her? I don't want to participate in the palace draft.

In addition, the daughter from the Hou Mansion, even if she has no talent, is also a family with hundreds of women, and Chang'an is up and down, who doesn't compete for it?

It's a pity that my life is still luxurious, where is the leisure to learn these "so-called upbringing" qin, chess, calligraphy and painting?

She lowered her head even more: "I disappointed my mother." ”

Concubine Ji sighed lightly: "Last time your father's matter, the emperor praised you a lot, and praised you for your loyalty and bravery. Therefore, this palace specially summoned you to the palace today to see what it looks like. If you pass the eye, you will be the master and leave you in the palace to accompany the king, which is also a beautiful thing. ”

An Sheng's body shook instantly, and he raised his head in shock.

Concubine Ji looked at her with a smile, and there was an incomprehensible meaning in her eyes.

An Sheng almost didn't think about it, mentioned the hem of his skirt, got up and knelt in front of Concubine Ji, and refused without thinking: "Qi Yu Niangniang, An Sheng came from a humble background, and was vulgar, didn't understand literature and ink, didn't understand elegance, and was really not worthy of entering the palace, please think twice." ”

Concubine Ji slowly rubbed a red and blood-like wrench on her thumb, and persuaded with a smile: "Although your background is not noble, but now you are also the daughter of the Shilang Mansion, and your small appearance is very pleasing, it looks pure and elegant, and it is as tender as a gardenia." That's enough. ”

An Sheng's face turned red, and he was a little flustered, not knowing how to reject her proposal. She was afraid that her words would offend her if she was too abrupt, and that if she was too tactful, she would feel that she was not resolute enough.

She shook her head categorically: "The appearance is easy to age, but it is pleasing to the eye for a few years, and only an elegant bearing like Niangniang is truly appreciative." An Sheng is a birdfinch under the eaves, and his vision is also short-sighted, so he doesn't dare to be with Honghu, so don't make fun of An Sheng, An Sheng is self-aware. ”

"Are you sure you don't want to enter the palace? You have to know that once you enter the palace, it will be a lifetime of glory and wealth, and the lintel will shine? ”

Concubine Ji still said tentatively.

An Sheng nodded firmly: "An Sheng is really not worthy." ”

"I don't know how to lift!" Concubine Ji suddenly became angry, and as soon as she raised her hand, she threw the tea cup in front of An Sheng.

Falling to the ground and blooming, the tea splashed on An Sheng's body, spotted.

An Sheng still lowered his eyebrows and slowly kowtowed: "An Sheng is guilty, please forgive Concubine Niangniang." ”

The concubine who was sitting at the top smiled slightly, with appreciation in her eyes, and glanced at the Jinping next to her.

Outside the hall, a little eunuch hurriedly walked over, stood at the door of the hall, and replied in a low voice: "Concubine Niangniang, the palace banquet is about to begin, and the emperor asks you to move to the Qianqing Palace." ”

Concubine Ji responded, and snorted softly at An Sheng: "That's it, the twisted melon is not sweet, since you don't want to, then it's okay, today I have the right to treat this matter as if I didn't mention it." Mama Lu, take Miss Ansheng to the palace banquet. ”

Mama Lu responded, took two steps forward, and said to An Sheng: "Miss An Sheng, please come with the old slave." ”

An Sheng was suddenly relieved, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed, got up and took three steps back, before turning around and following Mama Lu out of the Pujia Palace.
