Chapter 10(3)
Over there, Luo Jin had already found the ointment, gently uncovered Shen Shiyun's clothes, and saw that her skin was smooth and delicate, but it was covered with bruises, so she dipped her index finger in the medicine and gently smeared it, and sighed: "This queen mother is ruthless enough." Shen Shiyun snorted, only the feeling of a coolness in the wound, the pain gradually subsided, Luo Jin smiled and asked, "Are you comfortable?" Shen Shiyun smiled: "Even if you can't be a military advisor, you have to serve the palace, but there is no problem." ”
Luo Jin snorted coldly: "Don't underestimate me. Hey, Concubine Yun, do you want me or not, you can also give a clear explanation, I will definitely be a good helper, but I will also be a good opponent. Shen Shiyun secretly thought: "Right now, I am alone in the palace, and it is good to have her to help." The two looked at each other and smiled, knowing each other.
On the day of the showgirl's election, Luo Jin said that her illness had not arrived, and then she was assigned to Yinxue Palace on an errand. Shen Shiyun always has something important to explain, she can always do a very good job, the more happy Shen Shiyun is, the more she treats her as an equal when there is no one, regardless of the difference between the master and the maid, and even tells her her life experience. On this day, the two were chasing and laughing in the palace, and suddenly heard the eunuch announce loudly: "The regent has arrived!" Luo Jin was overjoyed: "That's a big man! I heard about this 'uncrowned emperor', I can't help but see it." ”
Shen Shiyun frowned and said: "What is he doing here? Is he going to come to repay me for a long time after taking me in? Luo Jin pulled her sleeve and said coquettishly: "Why don't you go, even if you accompany me?" Shen Shiyun had no choice but to pass it on, and Dolgon stepped inside, his face was full of incomprehensibility, and he said lightly: "I've seen Concubine Yun." Shen Shiyun folded his sleeves, paced a few steps and said: "The regent has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what do you have to say about the palace?"
Dolgon smiled and said, "Concubine Yun is a cheerful person, so the king will get straight to the point." It's just that this matter is not trivial, for the sake of taking care of the whole mother's face, please hold back and talk, and everyone will talk behind closed doors. Shen Shiyun said coldly: "Don't make a fuss, if the prince has time to entertain me, I will forgive the palace for not entertaining, Luo Jin, serve tea and send guests." ”
Dorgon said, "Since 'the body is upright and not afraid of the shadow', the king invited the man to come in and meet him." Shen Shiyun sneered: "Although I haven't seen a ghost in this palace, this person has seen a lot of people every day." Dolgon sneered: "I'm afraid that when the mother sees this person, she feels that it is better to see ten ghosts at ease." Raising his arm and making a gesture, Luo Jin's eyes widened, and he was about to take a good look at this "person who is more terrible than a ghost".
I saw a middle-aged beautiful woman approaching, although she was in her forties, she still had charm, dressed up with heavy makeup, and showed off her flowers. Shen Shiyun's body was shocked, and he raised his voice and said, "Let's go out first!" Stand far away outside the door and guard it, without the orders of the palace, no idlers are allowed to approach. Although he had barely managed to composure, there was still a slight tremor in his voice.
The eunuchs and guards closed the door and exited. Luo Jin saw that when Shen Shiyun saw this person, his expression immediately changed, and he said strangely: "Hey, who is she......?" Is it Concubine Yun's long-deceased mother?" Dolgon snorted coldly, "Imagination is also rich. Then he turned to Shen Shiyun and said with a smile: "This is Mrs. Ruhua, the proprietress of Jingxi Agarwood Academy, Concubine Yun must know it." ”
Mrs. Ruhua saw Luo Jin pointing fingers at herself, she didn't like it very much, pinched her chin and looked at her and said, "The little girl looks like she is also smart, it's too aggrieved to be a maid here, why don't you go with me, and pack you with good food and clothing, how about it?" Luo Jin took her hand away and took a step back. Shen Shiyun was stunned at this time, and said coldly: "Luo Jin is a person from this palace, you want to take her away in front of my eyes, but where are you placing this palace?"
Mrs. Ruhua seemed to have just noticed Shen Shiyun at this moment, and stepped forward and said with a smile on her face: "Now that you are more magnificent?" Yun'er, you yourself said with your conscience, did your mother treat you well before? I regarded you as the number one brand in my Agarwood Courtyard, but when you left, my business has plummeted since then, and even maintaining a minimum livelihood has become a problem, can you bear to look at me like this?" Shen Shiyun thought about the fact that she only regarded herself as a cash cow before, and even saw that the eyes of wealth were open to instigate the guests to be rude, and glared at her angrily without saying a word.
Mrs. Ruhua said: "If that's the case alone, that's just it." But your friend beat my people and smashed my shop, how should I make this loss?" Shen Shiyun said: "What do you do, just draw a line." Madame Ruhua clapped her hands and said, "Okay!" I want three million taels of gold, five million taels of silver, and ten boxes of jewelry and ten boxes of rouge gouache. You also know that those vulgar fans in my courtyard are all ugly, and they have to work hard to dress up before they can barely catch up with you. ”
Luo Jin scolded first: "Stinky old woman, don't you want to open your mouth? You want to go crazy for money? What do you think of our Concubine Yun? In the second half of your life, you still want to fall on her? You are a rootless tree, do you still want to bloom?" Shen Shiyun waited for her to finish scolding, and then said coldly: "Mrs. Ruhua, you really dare to ask for it, why do you think that this palace will agree to your absurd requests?"
Mrs. Ruhua said: "Yes, even if I sell my broken agarwood courtyard, I can't afford this price, but don't forget, 'Concubine Yun', your deed of sale is still in my hands, if the emperor sees it, what will happen when you say it?"
Shen Shiyun was like a thunderbolt exploding above his head, and said in a panic: "There is nothing negotiable in the world, but I don't have so much money in hand, give me a little time, and I will try to raise it for you at that time." Mrs. Ruhua sneered: "Originally, I wanted you to spend some money, but you maid spoke foul language and nonsense to me, and I felt uncomfortable when I heard it, and the conditions will increase again." Please ask Concubine Yun to open the door of convenience, and from now on, I will be responsible for the canonization of the new show girl. ”
Shen Shiyun said: "The candidacy of the show girl needs to be reported to the emperor by the household department first, and the eight banners will be unified by the eight banners after the order is approved, and the grassroots officials at all levels will submit the roster layer by layer, and then report it after summarizing. Mrs. Ruhua said: "That's also done, let all the girls in my courtyard enter the palace as concubines, all of them are equivalent to your status, I'll be the queen if I take the lead!"
Luo Jin said angrily: "Hand it over, otherwise you won't want to take half a step out of this Yinxue Palace alive today!" Mrs. Ruhua laughed sharply: "Do you think I look like the kind of person who fights an unprepared battle? If you toast and don't eat and drink, and annoy the old lady, I can let the deed of sale appear in front of the emperor's eyes at any time!"
She deliberately accentuated the word "emperor", but Shen Shiyun exclaimed: "You...... What nonsense is there to talk about? How can this palace have a personal relationship with the people in the Demon Sect?" Dolgon smiled and said, "Why don't you deny this? Isn't the Young Master of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect Jiang very close to Niangniang? It's a pity that such an all-rounder is the great enemy who killed your whole family, what should you do?"
Shen Shiyun's mind buzzed, as if the heavens and the earth collapsed at the same time, staggered back, and fell into a chair next to him. Luo Jin said unhappily: "Niangniang is tired, I don't want to say more, you all go out!" She waved her hands, like driving away flies, but she didn't add a word "go, go".
Madame Ruhua was furious and raised her hand to fight, but Dolgon stopped and persuaded: "Forget it, this dog must also see the master, and the golden face of Concubine Yun and Young Master Jiang, don't worry about this little girl, you go back to the Agarwood Courtyard first and wait for good news." Thinking about it, Concubine Yun Niangniang is also a person who understands the general situation, and she will make the right decision. Lady Ruhua snorted coldly and followed Dorgon away.
Luo Jin took out the handkerchief, carefully wiped the cold sweat on Shen Shiyun's forehead, and said with relief: "Don't be afraid, this old bustard is too deceitful, we can't sit still, I will immediately order to go down and send someone to smash her Jingxi nest, I am not afraid that I will not be able to find something." But how much is the hush money for other girls?"
Shen Shiyun said coldly: "Do you know what the cheapest hush money is?" Luo Jin said tentatively: "A penny?" Shen Shiyun sneered: "The people in the Agarwood Courtyard have a lot of mouths, if you get out of a living mouth, it will be endless troubles." I didn't leave a single one, and I killed them all. In addition, this palace has a sentence to be conveyed by the killer, saying that she is unkind, and does not blame me for being unjust, and this palace does not owe her anything, it is her own sin. Luo Jin said: "Yes, it's all up to Niangniang." ”
Within a few days, a eunuch came to invite Shen Shiyun to enter Cining Palace to see him. Shen Shiyun sneered: "The news is so fast!" Luo Jin said uneasily: "Maybe it's for the matter of the Agarwood Courtyard, Niangniang Wan has to be careful, do you want me to go with you?" Shen Shiyun said: "No need, if I'm even afraid of her, how can I fight with the Demon Sect?" As the eunuch entered Cining Palace for the second time, he didn't wait for the Queen Mother to speak, and asked for peace first. The Queen Mother said: "Concubine Yun, the mourning family beat you a few days ago, do you complain in your heart?"
Shen Shiyun said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "That's because the concubine herself spoke inappropriately, which made the queen mother angry, and she should be responsible." The Queen Mother sneered: "Concubine Yun is not only broad-minded, but also very big-handed, and she actually picked the Jingxi Agarwood Courtyard in one fell swoop?" Although Shen Shiyun expected that she was looking for herself for this matter, she didn't expect that she didn't detour at all, and she got straight to the point at the beginning, and was slightly stunned.
Seeing that she didn't answer, the Queen Mother only said that she was timid in her heart, paused and said: "Don't think that you can hide from the world without speaking, your every move is very clear to the mourning family." Shen Shiyun said: "I never wanted to get through the tricks, the concubine's move is for the benefit of the Qing Dynasty and for the emperor's worries, because the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, it is not appropriate to make a noise, it is because I have never reported it, but I don't want someone to gossip in the ear of the queen mother." The Queen Mother said: "Okay, let's listen to the mourning family, how do you share your worries?"
Shen Shiyun said in a crisp voice: "Since ancient times, Gentle Township has been a hero's mound, that kind of place of wind and moon, which has not worn out the ambition of our good men and the pride of serving the country, and it is also a scourge to stay." The Queen Mother pressed and said: "There are so many places for fireworks, why are you looking for the Agarwood Courtyard?"
Shen Shiyun said sternly: "The Qinglou in the world is headed by the Agarwood Courtyard, so it can achieve the effect of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys." The Queen Mother was slightly stunned and said, "Okay, you have some truth in this matter." Are you really a Jiangnan clan? Why did the people sent out by the Mourning family investigate for a long time in vain?"
Shen Shiyun said: "Jiangnan has a large population, and the concubines are from humble backgrounds, just like a drop of water in the sea, so insignificant that nothing can be found. The Queen Mother said: "Then why is this drop of water suddenly in a high position?" Shen Shiyun said: "There are three thousand weak water, and only one scoop is taken." The concubine may be fortunate enough to be a drop in this scoop of water. ”
The Queen Mother bowed her head lightly and said, "You are very lucky." Shen Shiyun smiled and said: "This is an old saying, and it can't be pushed away when time comes." The Queen Mother said: "What about the latter sentence? Why don't you say it together?" Shen Shiyun said: "At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, when the country was founded, you should always ask for a mouthful, and the concubines don't want to say some frustrating words. ”
The Queen Mother sneered: "Okay, you can speak well, the means are clever, the mourning family underestimated you before." I won't embarrass you today, but the mourning family will never admit you, if you want to fly on the branches and become a golden phoenix, it's not so easy!" Shen Shiyun bowed and said: "Bow to the teachings of the Queen Mother, if there is nothing else, the concubine will retire first." Holding his footwork, he walked out of Cining Palace lightly.
Fang went out and saw Luo Jin coming forward, busy taking medicine from his body, Shen Shiyun sneered and waved his hand: "She has already beaten me once, isn't that enough?" Luo Jin said worriedly: "What did the Queen Mother say to you?" Shen Shiyun said: "Yes, you guessed right." Luo Jin said: "Sure enough, as long as Niangniang bites tightly and doesn't let go, she doesn't have any evidence to force her to say it......"
Shen Shiyun interrupted: "I have already admitted that she has already planted eyeliner next to me, how can such a big thing be hidden? I told her something nice and gagged her. After briefly speaking, Luo Jin praised: "Niangniang is clever." By the way, the killer we sent Hu Wei is back, and he still has important information!"
The two returned to Yinxue Palace, and when they saw Hu Wei kneeling and waiting for each other, Shen Shiyun said lightly: "Mr. Hu has worked hard." Hu Wei said with a smile: "To do things for Concubine Yun, I would rather be smeared with my liver and brain, not hard, not hard." Shen Shiyun said: "Okay, this palace will order you to take some silver taels and reward you." What about that thing?" Hu Wei said: "The villain has searched every room in the courtyard one by one, but he has not opened the bricks together to take a look, but he has not seen them." But in the end, it was a desperate disaster, and the agarwood courtyard was burned, and if the thing was there, it had turned into ashes. ”
Shen Shiyun's face sank, and said, "What if you are not here?" Hu Wei was stunned, and Luo Jin hurriedly said: "You will follow me to receive the reward, leave the capital on the same day, and never return." Hu Wei knew that he would not let himself go with Shen Shiyun's style, so he hurriedly kowtowed: "The villain is willing to follow Niangniang from now on, not leaving left and right, please give Niangniang's permission!"
Shen Shiyun pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, this palace will give you this opportunity, but that thing is not destroyed for a day, and it is always a heart disease." In this way, this palace will send you some more people, and you will do your best to find out, and by the way, find out the news of the Demon Sect. There is another person you have to pay special attention to, the young master of the Shadow Sacrifice Jiang Yanchen has extremely high martial arts, and his scheming is also unfathomable, you let him come to see me, and the palace will deal with it personally, and the others will be killed!" Hu Weiying said: "Yes, yes!"
Shen Shiyun turned around and said hatefully: "Destroying the Agarwood Courtyard is only the first step. Jiang Yanchen, this palace wants to see who died in whose hands, let's wait and see!" At that time, the sun was in its prime, but Luo Jin felt a chill pass through his body for no reason. He had a great deal to do with Shen Shiyun in the court, and if he was still inevitably involved in a bloody battle, was the path he was on right at the beginning? It seems that there is a great battle that will devastate the lives of the people.
