Qinghe came out of the tea room, and Hu Rong greeted him with a smile: "Sister Qinghe." ”

Qinghe nodded at him: "You just came back?" Just now the master rewarded a plate of fruit, Qingmei and I don't like to eat like this, you take it and share it with them. ”

She went back to the house and opened the cupboard door, took out the snacks wrapped in cardboard shells, and handed them to Hu Rong.

Hu Rong hurriedly rubbed his hand on his pants twice and took the snack bag.

"Sister, when I came back from sending things just now, I met my fellow villager Xiao Gao in the middle of the road, he was doing miscellaneous work in the internal division, and we talked a few gossips."

Qinghe asked, "What gossip?" ”

"said that Luo Shanggong went to the court two days ago, and it seemed that he took a fancy to Miss Tang, Miss Zhao and a Miss Tian. There has been no movement in the past few days, Changning Palace did not say that it would summon newcomers, and Luo Shang Palace did not go to the court. But today, Miss Tang sent someone to go and asked someone to ask for something. ”

Qinghexin said that Hu Rong really didn't promote him in vain, and changed his name to make him the head of these eunuchs in Yingxiang Pavilion.

"What does she want?"

"Said that she wanted a piece of material, and the person she sent described it was the blue yarn that our master often wears. I also want the same eyebrows and spices. ”

Qinghe understands it all.

"It's a beautiful idea."

Hu Rong whispered: "My fellow villager said that this matter happened to be in the hands of his master, and the material really couldn't be found, even if someone from a similar needlework bureau found it, he might not dare to take it over to make it for her." Even if other things can't be found here, Miss Tang can send someone to find them elsewhere. Miss Tang is not the only one in the court who asks for such a trustee. ”

Qinghe understands the current situation very well.

My own master also understands.

The master is pregnant and can't sleep, and it's not just these new beauties who have entered the palace that have moved their minds.

Qinghe's heart is not as anxious as it was a few days ago. It doesn't matter how others drill their own homes, and Qinghe won't use these things to disturb the master.

She entered the house with the tray in her hand.

The weather was cooler than the previous two days, and Shainin saw in the yard in the morning that the grass leaves were yellowing, and thick hoarfrost had formed on the tips of the leaves.

According to Roshan, this year's winter will come early.

Qinghe put down the tray, served the soup in the cup to Xie Ning, and replied: "Hu Rong has come back, and the things have been delivered." Just now, Gonggong Zhou sent someone to ask the master if it was convenient now, and he wanted to bring someone over for the master to pick up. ”

Xie Ning took a sip of the soup: "Then let him come over, there is nothing inconvenient for me here." ”

The most she has now is free.

Father-in-law Zhou led people over after a short time, and stood in the courtyard, with the palace maid standing in front and the eunuch standing behind. Xie Ning has only eight vacancies here, and Gonggong Zhou brought thirty-two people in one go, these people must have been screened once before coming here, and if they can get this opportunity to come to the Xiangxiang Pavilion, these people are also looking forward to coming forward.

Hu Rong stood under the corridor and took a look, hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, asked Zhou Yuchen to sit down, and Qingmei came over with tea.

Zhou Gonggong smiled and said, "There is no need for tea, Xie Meiren is in good health today?" There's no such thing as a bad feeling, right? ”

Xie Ning also replied very politely.

Gonggong Zhou remembered that when he first came back to the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion to congratulate Xie Meiren on being summoned by the emperor, at that time, the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion could be said to be sincerely afraid of him, for fear of a trace of neglect, but now the times have changed, and now it is not what it used to be.

"It is said that this manpower should have been added a long time ago, and it has been delayed until today, and I hope that Xie Meiren will bear with me."

"What did Grandpa Zhou say, it's because I don't like to be quiet, and I can't blame you for this."

Father-in-law Zhou handed over the roster and took this opportunity to take a closer look at Xie Meiren.

It looks good, the skin is white and red, and the face is puffy.

Xie Ning opened the booklet and glanced at it from beginning to end, and then looked at the palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside the door. To pick someone like this is to pick someone who fits the eye, as for whether the character is reliable or not, etc., you can't see it just by looking at it this way. The level of personal energy cannot be seen from the face alone.

Xie Ning picked two of these people, and Gonggong Zhou pointed to stand in a row again: "These are not bad, stay and sweep the courtyard to see the house." ”

There are eight people in this row, and if they all have to stay, then Shainin's manpower here will be overcrowded. But no one will take this seriously. For example, when Xie Ning went to Concubine Shu's birthday banquet that day, those palace people who came and went to serve were wearing new clothes, fluttering like colorful butterflies, and the number of people coming and going definitely exceeded the regulations, and it seemed to be at least doubled. Some of them are actually not in the name of Concubine Shufei of Yanning Palace, if you look at the roster, some may be from the needle room, and some are in charge of the garden.

These people are not important, the important thing is that Gonggong Zhou said the day before yesterday that there will be a Shang Gong who will come to the Xiangge Pavilion to take care of Xie Meiren's body.

Although Qinghe is thoughtful and meticulous, she is still a young girl after all, and she has never experienced how a woman conceives and gives birth to a child, and she doesn't know much. Most palace maids like her entered the palace early, only seven or eight years old, and after entering, they worked while learning the rules, and when they grew up, they would be mentioned everywhere for service.

This kind of thing has to find an older and experienced Shang Palace, at best, it is the kind of person who has served the concubine to conceive and give birth.

Such a person is not something that can be found in the palace casually. In order to prevent Bai Hongqi from interfering again, Gonggong Zhou has already found this candidate.

To Xie Ning and Qinghe, both Xie Ning and Qinghe were very surprised, the Shang Palace sent by Zhou Gonggong was Fang Shang Palace.

Gonggong Zhou was also afraid that Xie Meiren would not be satisfied, so he deliberately explained a few words about Fang Shanggong's experience.

"Fang Shanggong also served by the master's side back then, and he once served Concubine He, and he was very trustworthy. After Concubine He was gone, she stayed at the Needlework Bureau. ”

After the first emperor was gone, according to the system, if the women in the palace of the first queen did not give birth to children, they had to leave the harem, or enter the Taoist temple, or lose their hair and become nuns. Since Concubine He has the name of a concubine, of course, she has given birth to an heir.

I really didn't see that Fang Shanggong was so quiet and silent, but I didn't know that she had been beautiful when she was young.

If it was Fang Shanggong, he had dealt with him, he didn't talk much, and he was quite a calm person.

Qinghe still has some doubts in his heart, and he can't say it in front of Father-in-law Zhou at this time. Xie Ning smiled and said to Zhou's father-in-law: "Thank you for your trouble, Fang Shanggong I know, he is a very careful person." ”

Gonggong Zhou had already considered this layer when he came, and he heard that Fang Shanggong had gotten along well with Xie Meiren before, so he finally settled on Fang Shanggong among the two people.

In addition, Grandpa Zhou is more assured that Fang Shanggong is older, and he is very indifferent to fame and fortune. She must have that competitive heart, and she will definitely work hard in the early years, but she will not get to the point where she is today. Now that she is this age, even if she is enthusiastic and wants to be beautiful, how many years can she still be beautiful?

But the other Marchand Palace is different, the Marchand Palace is only in its early thirties this year, and it is a good situation in its prime. How did she become a Shang Palace all the way, even if the traces of what she did were smoothed, but Gonggong Zhou would not not understand.

In addition to Ma Shang Palace, there are also others who are looking at this position, many of them understand medical science and medicine, but they are not their own people, and Zhou Gonggong does not dare to use it.

Such an ambitious woman gets such a good opportunity for Xie Meiren, it is one thing for Father-in-law Zhou not to want to cause trouble for himself, he is even more afraid that such a person will be blinded by a greedy word, and if he does something that is not good to die, maybe he will have to drag him down.

Fang Shanggong's clothes have always been old-fashioned, Qinghe feels that the shoulders on her body have been worn for five years, right? Originally, I couldn't see what color it was, but now it looks like a little bit of blue in the gray, just like the color of the green bricks in the corner.

Of course, the clothes have not been torn or mended, but a Shang Gong will never lack clothes to wear.

Fang Shanggong seemed to see Qinghe's thoughts, and asked her, "Isn't it too unseemly to look at?" ”

Qinghe was very surprised, and hurriedly said, "No, no, please don't be angry." ”

Fang Shanggong was not angry at all: "As the saying goes, clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as before." In fact, this is not true, in the palace should be reversed and said, people are not as good as new, and clothes are not as good as before. You're still young, and you'll understand in a few more years. ”

Qinghe felt that these people who had been in the palace for many years were like this, and they always had to make many detours when they spoke, and they didn't seem to be able to explain a sentence well.

How could Fang Shanggong turn such a sentence upside down?

People are not as good as new?

Qinghe didn't have time to think about it, so he lifted the curtain and invited Fang Shanggong into the house, Xie Ning was sitting there, leaning on the big pillow, a book was placed on the small kang table, and he had just turned two pages.

Before Fang Shanggong opened his mouth, Xie Ning said first: "Fang Shanggong, don't be polite, please take a seat." ”

According to the grade, it is true that Fang Shanggong does not need to salute her, but now the master is not what it used to be. Seeing that Fang Shanggong also took the mallet seriously, he sat down generously, Qinghe felt uncomfortable.

When Fang Shanggong came to the previous time, she was still a guest, and she came to instruct the master on needlework, and her etiquette at that time was much more thoughtful than now.

Now that she is already a person from the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, if there is no accident, she will have to serve her master for a long time in the future, why is she bigger?

This made Qinghe really can't figure it out.

Xie Ning was very polite to Fang Shanggong. Seriously, knowing that the person Zhou Gonggong found was Fang Shanggong, Xie Ning also felt that a stone in his heart had finally landed, and it was very relaxing. Fang Shanggong is quite familiar with each other, and people get along well, it is much better than having a stranger to test each other and start from scratch.

Fang Shanggong carefully looked at Xie Ning's face, smiled slightly, and said, "Seeing that Xie Mei's temperament is not bad, is your appetite okay these days?" ”

"Not so good." Xie Ning said honestly: "I'm too lazy to move, I don't really want to eat, and I don't feel hungry." ”

Fang Shanggong didn't say that it was useless, he stood up and said, "There is a soup that Xie Meiren may be able to eat, so I will order someone to make it." ”
