Chapter 79: Send Rouge
Xiao Yan paused and glanced at him.
"What does Yang Yixian think?"
Xing lowered his head and said, "Naturally, if you can suppress it, you can suppress it, but the officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all staring at our side." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he stared at the food box in Xiao Yan's hand, and suddenly became interested.
"Yo! My lord, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, isn't this the zongzi that we brought us? ”
“……”
Xiao Yan ignored him and went straight inside.
Xing Gao's hot face was attached to his cold buttocks, and he followed abruptly.
Almost all the officials at all levels of the household department had already arrived, but Jiang Anqing did not come, thinking that the pain of losing his son was unbearable for him.
Xiao Yan sat on the main seat and took a sip of tea.
"Presumably, you already know about the matter of Sanwu, but what do you think?"
Yang Yixian sat on the right side and arched his hand: "My lord, now that the household is short of silver, a while ago for the locust plague, a lot of money has been allocated, and the annual hunting is very costly, and now the disaster relief funds in the land of Sanwu are afraid to be pressed again and again." ”
Xing Gao nodded in agreement, "There are a lot of people affected by the disaster this time, and I'm afraid it will cost a lot of silver taels." ”
"Sanwu is a land rich in aquatic products, and the impact of hurricanes is wide, and the silver has to be allocated, and it cannot be pressed again and again."
"But the household department really can't take out the silver!"
Xiao Yan's eyes eased slightly, and said: "The people's livelihood is sad, it is true that you can't force pressure on the disaster relief funds, and wait for the emperor to summon you, and then make a conclusion." Although the household department can't come up with much silver, private fundraising can give it a try, what do you think? ”
"That's what my lord said."
The officials of the household department said in unison.
After some discussion, the officials withdrew from the hall and went about their duties.
After Xiao Yan reviewed the official document submitted by Yang Yixian, he opened the mahogany carved food box.
On the first layer, a crystal clear glass bead pressed a letter.
On the second layer, two rice dumplings that are a little not so good-looking......
The letter was unfolded and looked at.
"Taifu, today is the Dragon Boat Festival. It's a pity that I am still grounded, and I can't come out to meet Taifu, spend the Dragon Boat Festival together, enjoy the dragon boat, and eat zongzi, which is a pity. Therefore, I made two zongzi, one sweet and one salty, and asked the Taifu to taste them. ”
Xiao Yan's deep eyes were dyed with a layer of tenderness, like a spring breeze blowing in March, melting the cold mountain peaks.
Close the letter and put it in your sleeve pocket.
The slender palm picked up one of the green rice dumplings, gently peeled it off, and took a bite.
It was salty, soft and delicate, and it was clearly salty, but he could still taste a touch of sweetness for no reason, as if this sweetness was surging from his heart.
Since he was a child, he likes to eat salty zongzi, but his mother doesn't remember that he likes to eat salty ones, and always makes sweet zongzi for him according to his brother's taste, and never takes his liking to heart.
Later, the father wanted to choose one of the many heirs to the Chu State, and the original chosen person was his younger brother, but because of the partiality of the queen mother, he was replaced.
He left his hometown at such a young age and came to an ordinary family in Tingzhou, this family took good care of him at first, but the guards who accompanied the surveillance reported the matter to the queen mother, and the family was ruined overnight, and the death was tragic.
Maybe during this period of time, although he couldn't see Meng Qing, he received letters written by her heart every day, and even the zongzi would make a sweet and a salty one for him, and he felt valued for the first time.
Xing Gao coincidentally came in at this time to disturb the scenery, and he raised his eyebrows.
"My lord, you're eating alone behind our backs!"
Xiao Yan's eyes were red.
"Get out."
"Okay, I'll get out, I'll get out!"
After that, Xing Gao ran away in a smoke.
It wasn't long before an official hurried in and saluted.
"Xiao Shangshu, the emperor is urgently calling."
"Got it."
He put down the zongzi, packed it up, and then set off for the palace.
The road is very lively, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, there are selling zongzi, selling realgar wine, selling dragon boat sugar paintings, everything on the street.
Xiao Yan lifted the curtain and looked out, and the pedestrians on the road were strolling leisurely and clean.
Coincidentally, the word "Broken Cloud Xuan" was written on the shop, and he didn't think about it, so he said, "Park." ”
Zhong Xuan made a long "whew-" sound, and the carriage stopped steadily.
Xiao Yan got out of the carriage and walked towards Broken Yunxuan, the business in the store was booming, the guy was diligent, and someone greeted him before he entered the door.
The guy looked at him left and right, and the wind god Xiutou was extraordinary, as if he had seen it somewhere.
If you think about it, yes! A few days ago, the third princess came to make trouble, and it was this adult who came to persuade her!
At that time, I saw that this adult's grade should not be low, and he must be a big official.
"My lord, please come inside."
He stepped over the threshold, and the girls in the bunk looked sideways, all marveling at his face.
"My lord, our family's rouge is this Yujing's first-class rouge, see if you want to give some to your wife or ......"
Xiao Yan just glanced at a few rouges on the booth and said, "I want those." ”
Seeing that business was coming, this guy was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
"Okay, I'll ask the shopkeeper to wrap it up for you."
"Hmm."
"Sit down."
The man put all the rouge he wanted in a delicate wood-carved box and handed it to him.
After Zhong Yu paid, he followed Xiao Yan and left.
Qingluan Palace.
The courtyard was full of laughter, the green leaves of the peach trees fell a lot, and the peaches were pink and tender when they were ripe.
Lingyu climbed on the ladder to pick peaches, and the peaches he picked were thrown into the basket in Xiao Nanzi's hand.
Meng Qing was playing pitching with Yunhe and them on the side.
At this time, someone knocked on the glass door of the Qingluan Palace, "Sister Lingyu!" ”
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the gate and they stopped laughing.
Lingyu hugged the corner of the long ladder, jumped down from the ladder in three or two, and trotted over.
"It's coming!"
She leaned into the crack of the glass door, "But there is a letter from an adult?" ”
The eunuch shook his head.
"No, the adults sent this, and Sister Lingyu opened the door."
Lingyu reacted quickly and took the deadbolt away, opening a gap that was not too big or too small.
The eunuch handed her a large enamel box.
"This is for Your Highness."
"Good, Scheler!"
After the eunuch finished delivering the things, he left in a hurry.
Lingyu staggered to Meng Qing step by step with the big box in his hand.
"This ......"
Yun He looked up and down for a moment and said, "Your Highness, how is this very similar to the box of Shattered Cloud Xuan." ”
"Xiao Luzi said, this is sent in by the adults to His Highness."
Meng Qing bent down to take a closer look, opened it and saw that a dazzling array of rouge treasure boxes were all unveiled, layer after layer, almost every color came again, and it was very good-looking.
Lingyu's mouth was about to be stuffed with an egg.
"Your Highness, my lordship has sent you the whole family of rouge, can you use it up?"
Everyone gathered around to watch the excitement.
Meng Qing said with a smile: "Lift it up to the dormitory." ”
"Yes."
