Chapter 532: Little Lotus, Filial Piety to Silver
Xiao He bowed his hand, saluted in a proper and standard manner, and replied softly: "Slave Xiaohe, Aunt Sui Qi is in charge of the management of the harem hall, and I have seen the chief manager Su. ”
Aunt Qi......
Su Hong remembered.
Old Mama Qi is the only old woman left in the palace, and she has been cautious all her life, so she carefully survived in this deep palace of cannibalism.
After His Majesty ascended the throne, he approved the release of a large number of palace maids and eunuchs from the palace.
Because Mama Qi had kindness and protection to His Majesty, His Majesty also left Mama Qi behind and gave her a relatively simple job.
It is to take some palace maids and eunuchs who stayed for various reasons, and are responsible for managing the harem and vacating those palaces.
Su Hong also has a good impression of Mama Qi, and when they meet each other, they will gossip a few words.
This little lotus was seen by Su Hong because of this.
In Su Hong's memory: Xiaohe is very responsible and has never taken half a step. Even when he met him, the big celebrity and chief manager around His Majesty, he never used Aunt Qi's face to get close to him.
It's always been quite a rule.
Thinking of that, Su Hong had a little smile on his face, and asked Xiaohe, "Aunt Qi's body is still tough, right?" ”
If it were someone else, this would have nodded back to toughness anyway.
Because this is not a serious statement, and it is not appropriate to say anything here and on such an occasion.
But Xiaohe didn't seem to understand, and replied honestly: "It's not too good." It's almost November, the weather is cold, and my aunt's body and bones were cold in the early days, and she couldn't stand the cold, so she couldn't stand steadily. If Mr. Su has a heart, please help, ask the imperial doctor to help me, and thank your aunt for your great kindness. ”
After speaking, he knelt on the ground and knocked his head.
The smile on Su Hong's face froze.
He glanced at Xiaohe and nodded in response: "Okay." ”
After the promise, he didn't say anything more, walked to the last palace maid, and after asking a few casual questions, he said to the new eunuch sent by the Internal Affairs Office: "Just Xiaohe." You take the rest back. ”
The chief eunuch hurriedly agreed, bent over and approached, and put his hand into his sleeve pocket.
This is the meaning of wanting to give Su Hong filial piety.
No one in the palace knows, who doesn't know, the former Internal Affairs Office was purged, and there is Su Hong's handwriting.
Besides, if you can please Su Hong, who doesn't want to go up and down in this palace?
Today, taking advantage of Su Hong's opportunity to pick someone, it is rare to be able to talk to Su Hong alone, and the new eunuch chief is naturally unwilling to miss this opportunity.
When he came, he hid a silver ticket of 10,000 taels of silver in his sleeve pocket, and at this time, he wanted to give Su Hongsai over.
The internal affairs office is full of oil and water, and fools know it.
He was afraid that 10,000 taels would not be enough. But he didn't dare to send it anymore.
What if I send too much, but what if I am questioned by Su Hong?
It's embarrassing......
When Su Hong saw this person's movements, he turned around, patted his arm again, and said, "Just don't do things wrong, I don't need to be here." ”
As he spoke, he lifted his feet and walked forward.
The new chief eunuch was stunned, thinking that it was inappropriate to give silver.
But he had obviously heard of it, and Su Hong only accepted cash......
Could it be that he has deceived his own people by passing the news to himself?
Before he could figure it out, he saw Su Hong turn back, reached into his sleeve pocket, took out the silver ticket, raised it, and left.
New Eunuch Chief: "......"
Is there such a blatant one......
No wonder the people in the palace say...... Su Hong is a very difficult person to deal with, and even more difficult to get close to.
So is this a successful gift-giving? Still didn't work out?
He stood there and didn't figure it out for a while.
In the end, he was reminded by the little eunuch, so he took the remaining nine palace maids and left with his head.
And Su Hong asked Xiaohe to follow him, shaking the silver ticket in his hand, like shaking a handkerchief, and took Xiaohe to meet His Majesty.
Even if His Majesty believes in Su Hong, even if he is just a second-class palace maid who can't get close, in the end, he still has to let His Majesty personally pass through it.
Lest I suddenly see a raw face kneeling in front of the temple gate and be shocked?
But what His Majesty saw first was the silver ticket thrown in Su Hong's hand.
This is Su Hong's old rules.
The old emperor chuckled and said, "The Internal Affairs Office honors you? ”
Su Hong pursed his lips, "um", and then said, "Ten thousand taels, I said I would take it out." How many days have you been on duty in the Ministry of Internal Affairs? ”
"Sure enough, it's a palace mouse."
The old emperor still smiled and said, not caring at all.
Su Hong asked His Majesty, "Can the old slave accept it?" ”
Every time, the filial piety that Su Hong received would make His Majesty pass by.
No matter what he does, he will ask this question, and His Majesty will always let him take it himself.
Of course, this is also a secret between the two of them, and it is not passed on.
His Majesty thought he was verbose.
glanced at him, and just wanted to say that you should take it yourself, but the thought suddenly froze, so he looked sideways at Su Hong and said, "You only accept cash, is it because it is easy to store?" Or is it because it's easy to give away? ”
Su Hongzheng was about to withdraw the hand of the silver ticket, paused, and then said without changing his face: "It's all donated." ”
This was the first time His Majesty had asked him where his money was.
Su Hong's heart "chuckled".
Sure enough, I heard His Majesty's laughter of "hehe": "The nearest ones are all donated to Dijiazhuang, right?" ”
Su Hong withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes, and bowed down.
"Not counting this, I have only received a total of 1,000 taels recently."
"Who is so slammy?"
The old emperor knew that he had asked the right question, so he no longer asked questions, but asked in a very leisurely and seemingly casual manner.
Su Hong's heartstrings were tense.
This is a very difficult question to answer.
But he didn't dare to hesitate at all, so he immediately replied: "The old slave said that it was rewarded by Lord Liang." ”
The old emperor thought about it, and remembered that there was indeed such a thing.
It's just that she didn't care about it at the time, and Su Hong's voice was very small, so she forgot about it.
"Hey, it's really that the bigger the official, the more slamming the door. Wu Qian thought that in the past, if you can step into my imperial study, you will definitely be given three thousand taels of silver.
How did it reduce so much this time? It seems that this little secret between you and me has also been inquired about by him, right? His hand...... It's getting longer and longer. ”
As he spoke, the old emperor turned sideways and looked at Su Hong.
"You dare to lie to me. Qian Si seems to know that you have funded Di Jiazhuang, so he deliberately reduced the filial piety he gave you so that I would know that you were on Di Ying's side, right? ”
