"The north wind blows eh, ~ the snowflakes that flutter and howl......"

Although she has not yet entered the cold winter and the moon, Wu Yan has already felt the harshness of winter, this is not the first time she has experienced the cold of northern winter, but in China three hundred years ago, it was still the end of the Xiaoice period, and this harshness naturally came more violently.

She has already added ear warmers, and the middle single on her body is also sandwiched with cotton, and the cover is densely covered with a green satin robe, which is not thick when worn alone, but a set is better than a number of layers, and the indoor can still keep warm, and the outdoor still has to add another big one.

At this time, she was still staying in the small courtyard of the Guangxi Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Households, in the middle of the three north rooms, with a cotton curtain hanging at the entrance, and a brazier built into the house for heating. Unlike the palace, the buildings here are generally underground with fire tunnels, and the fire starts as early as the end of October.

The charcoal burned is red basket charcoal, all of which are hardwood from the Yizhou Mountains, each one is a long foot, the air is warm for a long time, and the gray and white do not explode. It's just a little bad, the carrot charcoal is too hot, if it can't be burned enough, it is easy to cause gas poisoning, then it's over.

After Wu Yan howled twice, 'the north wind blows the snowflakes', he yawned twice in a row, and a tear overflowed from the corner of his eye. The air in the house is so heavy that you can't open the windows wide, which makes you drowsy......

"Brother Yan......" When my colleagues heard her howl, they were a little inexplicable, weird, and couldn't help laughing: "Where is the slang?" Eh, huh, huh? ”

Colleagues know that she is a woman, but she is still commensurate with Brother Yan, and she also thinks it is funny: "Oh~ Brother Yin, this is a Cantonese song, a good Cantonese song, the words don't have to be all elegant, and the whole leaf doesn't have to be lined with slang and soil sounds......"

"Haha, you're talking nonsense!" The colleague smiled: "Which is your tune for Cantonese songs?" And the tone is not the same as this. ”

"Okay, then what tune do you say Cantonese songs are in tune?" Wu Yan deliberately stirred up nonsense.

"I don't know the Cantonese tune, but the Cantonese sound...... You forget that Mu Yuanwailang is a person from Guangzhou Prefecture, and he has to have some dialects in the pronunciation from time to time, such as asking 'He Ru' to say 'point like', 'where to point' then to say 'Pengpeng', the language person to say 'contemptuous land', no to say 'Mao', to move closer to say 'buried', to say 'boy' when calling a child, and to say 'scattered' to say 'disruptive...... This is Cantonese. ”

"Eh~ yes, how did I forget him?" Wu Yan laughed when he heard this, remembering that he really talked like that on weekdays.

"Uh-huh...... Scorn! ”

Wu Yan and the two of them said happily, but they didn't notice a voice behind them, the two of them were startled, and they turned their heads to see that Mu Yuanwailang of the Qing Officials Division was behind them!

"Emma!" Wu Yan was taken aback: "Outsider, insider bury the sound of Ganmao?" You're back! ”

My colleague almost laughed, and quickly lowered his head, his shoulders shaking like crazy......

Mu Yuanwailang glanced at her: "Hi return? You fine ghost? ”

Wu Yan choked and used the wrong word...... So he changed the topic with a smile: "Let's not talk about that, let's talk about the outsider...... You're here to play east? ”

"Hmph," he snorted, not bothering with her, and added, "The cousin is looking for you everywhere, saying that there is something to discuss......

"Oh......" Wu Yan understood when he heard it: "Thank you for telling me that I will go to the lower official." ”

Gu Dehai must have come to her for the budget of Guanglu Temple, and when it came to the budget, she had to shake her head and sigh helplessly, making a budget was like giving birth to a child.

According to the budget submitted by each palace, then next year Guanglu Temple will not do anything else, and the household department will have to tighten the belt again. But to talk about revisions...... It's even more difficult, the emperor must have been blown by the pillow wind, as long as he mentioned the matter of revising the budget, he didn't care about her at all, and it was obviously a refusal.

The problem is that the household is in charge of the world's money and grain, and the harem is your emperor's harem, if the money of the two is not separated, there will be problems. A Guanglu Temple is not enough for you, and you have to come to spoil the household department...... How can the emperor make the mistake of all men in the world? Isn't it the true dragon emperor?

"Wu Yan, have you thought of a way? It looks like it's the New Year, and the budget hasn't been won yet! ”

Wu Yan said with a sad face: "Gu Shangshu, there is no way for the lower officials, Your Majesty doesn't see me......"

"Your Majesty doesn't see you, look for someone else."

Guanglu Temple for the use of the relationship between the inner government, is also the largest expense, although the household department can not manage the expenses of the inner government, but the account is still done by the household department, Guanglu Temple also has the household department in the supply of money and grain. Now Gu Dehai is picky, and he can't see others ruining the money of the household department.

"Looking for someone else? Who is it? "Who better than Your Majesty?

"Aren't you a female officer? Can't you find the queen mother? ”

"Eh~ yes!" woke up the dreamer with a word, and Wu Yan slapped his thigh: "Why didn't I think of it?" ”

The queen advocates simplicity, and is virtuous and kind, and it must be easier than the emperor to ask her to propose a revision of the plan!

"Now you understand, right?"

"Yes, Xia Guan understands what to do."

————

Wu Yan left the household department, braved the cold wind and entered the palace again, and first went to the residence of the Qiandong Institute to take off the green robe of the prisoner and change into the regular clothes of female officials. Then he walked out of the Qiandong Institute and walked in the direction of Kunning Palace.

From the left door of Dacheng, Yongxiang Gate enters, it is just the East Warm Hall of Kunning Palace. After the female official reported, Wu Yan entered the Dongnuan Hall to pay a visit.

Queen Wang sat on the kang and said with a smile: "Come up, Mama take a seat." ”

Mama Li brought the embroidery pier, Wu Yan thanked her, and half sat on the embroidery pier.

"Let Bengong guess, Yan Sizhen is here for that budget?" Before Wu Yan could make his intentions clear, the queen spoke out first.

"Huh?" Wu Yan was slightly surprised: "The queen mother is really like a god, and she can guess accurately." ”

Queen Wang smiled gently: "What's so hard to guess about this? It's all written on your face. ”

After speaking, her eyes skimmed over Wu Yan's face that was not delicate at all, but vivid, and secretly looked at it, and couldn't help but think of her aunt Wu Guifei......

Originally, I didn't have a good impression of Wu Yan, but I couldn't talk about a bad feeling, and the female officials around the emperor, as long as they didn't let go of the moths themselves. Since the last time she came to Kunning Palace to talk about the budget, her original thinking has changed a little.

Mama said that she was the niece of the concubine and still needed to be careful. But I don't want to think about it, she still hasn't admitted that his father is her father, the grievances between her mother and the Wu family back then didn't mean that they could disappear after she died, who would dare to say that she and the Wu family were one heart?

Now that Qi'er has only been established as the crown prince, the foundation is still shallow, and His Majesty is in his prime, and there is still a long way to go for Qi'er to ascend to the throne in the Emperor's Palace. Even if she is favored by His Majesty, she might as well be wooed, and she doesn't want her to do anything, as long as she knows that she owes me the favor of Kunning Palace, just remember it, if it is one day.

Wu Yan is a little embarrassed, I'm so stupid, I can be seen through at a glance?

Queen Wang smiled even deeper, it would be nice to say that this girl is really interesting, and she is the person next to her......

"Yan Sizhen, you might as well talk about it specifically, and this palace will also refer to it in detail."

"Okay, good," Wu Yan said he didn't want to hear: "Actually, the biggest problem is ......"

What she wants to say is saving, Guanglu Temple wastes a large part of the resources every year, as well as the waste caused by poor management of materials, these two can be changed alone, and a lot of money can be saved for Guanglu Temple every year.

"Lie in what?" Queen Wang couldn't help but wonder what she wanted to say and stopped, what did she want to say?

"Hey......" Wu Yan sighed: "Queen Mother, in fact, the minister has no intention of blaming anyone, but the palace is too wasteful of food and fruits...... Let's take an analogy, the fruits used in the Jiao and sacrifices used to be scattered, but now they are all fashionable to be sticky, but to make a two-foot sticky plate, the fruits alone will consume more than 100 200 catties. And after the sacrifice, these sticky fruits were all discarded, which is really a pity. The minister checked the previous accounts of Guanglu Temple, and the highest annual fruit and kitchen material input was more than one million catties, and he also borrowed Taicang silver ...... at that time.

"This palace understands what you mean, I hope the harem will not be wasted and saved?"

"Uh...... Niangniang, the minister hopes that there is no need to waste the place, not to waste, but the supply of kitchen materials and fruits and meals in the palace, the minister does not advocate reduction. ”

"Hongu understands, but how do you want Hongu to cooperate with you?"

"Niangniang, first, you have to communicate with Your Majesty and get his support. Now as long as the minister mentions revising the budget, His Majesty ignores me, and the minister can't be reasonable. ”

Queen Wang and Mama Li couldn't help laughing, and the queen smiled: "Yan Sizhen is really good, and she can reason with Your Majesty." ”

"Second, because this economy can't be hard and fast, so ...... Why don't you start an initiative in the harem? ”

"Oh? What is an initiative? The queen heard it with some interest.

"It's to write some propaganda slogans to save food, and go to the harem to publicize them, and there are a few things that can be provided to Niangniang's reference."

"Okay, you read it, this palace listens."

"For example, cherish food, save resources, and promote the harmonious progress of the harem; A porridge and a meal are not easy to come by, and half a thread and half a wisp of perseverance are difficult; Saving food is everyone's responsibility; Waste is like a gap in the river, and saving is like a swallow in mud ......"

"Haha, this palace thinks what you said is not bad, it's just, there are rules in the palace in the palace, and there are rules in the outer court, it's not that you can do it with a word or two of propaganda slogans, you think it's too simple."

Of course, Wu Yan understood what the queen said, so she waited for this sentence: "Then...... I don't know what to do, what do you say? ”

The queen smiled: "In this way, this palace will discuss this matter with the queen mother, and re-agree on the regulations of each palace and the cost of sacrifices, fasting, banquets, etc., and then issue the decree of the middle palace, and all palaces need to implement it accordingly, what do you think?" And then the initiative you said, the palace thinks it is feasible, and it can be posted everywhere in the harem for the concubines and palace maids to see. ”

"Niangniang, what about Your Majesty?"

"It is the queen's responsibility to manage the harem, and the emperor is not too easy to manage."

It's really domineering, the queen is mighty! Wu Yan finally took a reassuring pill.

Solved the budget of the harem, and then there was the 24th Supervision Bureau, which seems to have to find the celebrant supervisor, right?

Master of Ceremonies...... Wu Yan thought of Li Dongyan again,

When Kunning Palace came out, she slowly moved towards Qianqing Palace...... Along the way, he still muttered 'viciously' in his mouth: Li Dongyan, Li Dongyan......

Suddenly, she compared Ultraman's classic cross move, 'Xiu Xiu' sent out a beam of cross shockwaves, and then changed to Tiga's jump, and then used a palm to cover her face......

Li Dongyan, who was far away in the room of the celebrant supervisor, was sleeping when he suddenly shook and his eyes opened suddenly......
