Time travel is not a slave

Chapter 84 Help

"The north wind howled all night last night. It hasn't stopped yet. It's very gloomy today. My lord, I put an oiled paper umbrella for you in the carriage. You should come back early after you leave the house. I'm afraid it will snow heavily today. "

The maid Xiaocui put a cloak on Shen Shiyi, and said naggingly.

Shen Shiyi felt the gloomy sky outside through the colorless glazed windows.

The deeper the winter, the darker the morning sky. In the past, when the weather was good, there was still a slight blue light. Now, it is dark outside, and there is no starlight. It is only the east courtyard where Shen Shiyi lives, because she On the morning of Shangya, a glazed lantern radiated warm candle light in the dark courtyard.

Woo~woo~
Xiaocui lifted the thick cotton curtain, and the north wind gushed into the room, almost blowing Xiaocui back into the room.

Xiaohong at the door was holding a lantern and a hand warmer, and was leaning against the door panel to avoid the howling north wind.

Seeing that Shen Shiyi was going out on time, Xiaohong held the lantern and turned around to send Shen Shiyi out.

"Our glazed lantern is really good, but it's too expensive, and I'm afraid it will break."

Xiaohong is clever, she sent Shen Shiyi out in the dark, talking non-stop.

"I think there must be more than half of the people on the street due to the news today. Everyone is under the covers and can't bear to come out. That is to say, my lord, I have to go to the government office. It's really hard."

The night is dark, the trees in the yard are only a dark shadow, and there is no star in the sky. The east courtyard where Shen Shiyi lives alone, looks small on weekdays, but now it is along the corridor, there is no reference, I just feel that there are only the two of them walking forward under the world, and I feel a little lonely and lonely.

Xiaohong's random thoughts made the yard more popular.

"Give me the lantern, and you can go back to sleep."

Shen Shiyi spoke.

Falling asleep with the sound of the wind was a rare and pleasant time in Shen Shiyi's memory.This is a gift of nature, and it doesn't matter if you have money or not in terms of your own conditions.

Xiaohong didn't stop in front of Shen Shiyi, she kept on leading the way for Shen Shiyi, and said, "Your Excellency, you don't need to feel sorry for this servant, and this servant will send you to the yamen, and you can go back to sleep, you don't have this chance .”

Xiaohong speaks smartly and is not hypocritical, and Shen Shiyi rarely has more ideas for chatting.

"How did you become an official slave? Are you from Kyoto at home?"

As expected, Xiaohong was still quick to speak, hearing Shen Shiyi's voice, she didn't stumble a bit, "My father used to be the magistrate of a county under the jurisdiction of Kyoto, but he never cared about vulgar things. Li Yiying handed over the practical work to the subordinates. Although my mother was strong, she didn't understand these things. After three years of office, the assessment was moderate, and the superiors actually wanted to promote my father. There was a big problem in this handover. Big hole, there are still a few unjust cases, my father was dismissed by the court and imprisoned, and we female family members were also fined and confiscated into official slaves. However, if you want us to say, we deserved it. Fortunately, my father was taken down in time, which saved us from worrying .”

Shen Shiyi listened, only to feel that the world is so big that there are really all kinds of people.How many people yearn for power but get it, and some people don't care.

"Don't you feel wronged? Obviously my father didn't do anything, but he was sent to prison, and he also implicated you."

"Hey, what's the injustice? When we were imprisoned in the transfer capital with my father, those who were convicted of the injustice threw rotten eggs at us. Now we are slaves and servants, which can be regarded as atonement. After all, it is the fault of the father. "

At this point, Xiaohong's brisk tone stopped for a moment, "It's just that my father is in the prison now, and his life is a bit too comfortable. Every time my mother gets the wages, she has to take care of my father and buy books for him in the prison. There are books Look, the days of being a big prison are too comfortable for my father. He really should not be able to read books for the rest of his life, so that he can atone for his sins."

After finishing speaking, Xiaohong changed her tone, and glanced back at Shen Shiyi, "I say that, your lord won't think I'm vicious, will you?"

Shen Shiyi shook his head, "There's no such thing as viciousness. You're right. You've worked so hard to be implicated. The perpetrators should be punished as they should be."

Only then did Xiao Hong breathe a sigh of relief, "That's right. Every time I want to keep some money, I can't let my mother give all the money to my father. My mother also said that I was cruel. I don't think I am heartless at all. She is too heartless." That's right. My younger brother doesn't even have a daughter-in-law now, but he only cares about his father."

Shen Shiyi listened, chuckled lightly, and said nothing more.

It is inconvenient to talk about other people's housework at will.

It may be that Shen Shiyi seldom talked so much with their servants. Xiao Hong glanced back at Shen Shiyi, hesitated for a while before saying at the door of the east courtyard, "My lord, after you go to the yamen, Madam always wants to enter our courtyard Come on. Mom has stopped me a few times, but as time goes on, it's not a problem. Madam is always the master, and mom shouldn't be too tough."

Only then did Shen Shiyi suddenly realize that, yes, the Jiang family has never been a worry-free person. If she hasn't been around in front of her these days, it doesn't mean she won't come to the East Courtyard.

Shen Shiyi thought for a while, "Let's avoid it for now, and then think of a countermeasure when I free up my hand. Today, you ask the housekeeper to lock the east courtyard from the outside, and you can go in and out through the corner door."

Although she got a cowardly answer, Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I'll go find the butler Caishu in a while!"

It can be seen that Jiang's torture was really serious.

Shen Shiyi shook his head, told Xiaohong to stop, and walked towards the gate by himself.

"grown ups."

Uncle Cai was already waiting at the carriage at the door, Shen Shiyi stepped into the carriage, turned around and told Uncle Cai, "The door of the east courtyard, when I come out, you lock it from the outside, and no one is allowed to enter or exit."

Uncle Cai naturally understands that the master and wife of the host family are unscrupulous, and there is nothing my lord can do about it.

Immediately bowed and nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely look after the door for you."

There is a small copper stove on the carriage, which exudes precious warmth in the howling north wind.

Shen Shiyi was on the carriage, guarding the small stove, and listening to the howling north wind, he felt that the north wind would add some help to the opening of the show.

Shen Shiyi of the sixth grade didn't need to go to the court meeting. When he reached the west corner gate of the palace gate, Shen Shiyi got off the carriage and walked towards Nekusi from the corridor.

A pair of guards came towards them, and the leader turned out to be Chen Qing'an, the son of Marquis Anding introduced by Cheng Pingle to Shen Shiyi.

Chen Qing'an obviously also saw Shen Shiyi, and immediately waved his hand to let the guards go first. He stopped to say hello to Shen Shiyi.

"Master Shen, long time no see."

"Master Chen."

Shen Shiyi and Chen Qing'an greeted each other hand in hand.

"Pingle asked me to take care of Mr. Shen, but Mr. Shen lives in seclusion, and we have no chance to see him more often. Today is our team on duty at the city gate. Mr. Shen has something to do, just come over."

It was natural for Chen Qing'an to greet each other, but Shen Shiyi was a little embarrassed. She was okay with strangers, and she was okay with acquaintances. She was so unfamiliar, and she was a little uncertain. What if they were polite?Doesn't it seem that you are too impolite?

At the moment, Shen Shiyi scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Today, I can't say that I really have something to trouble Mr. Chen."

"Oh?" Chen Qing'an was curious.He was really just greeting, he didn't expect that Shen Shiyi was really busy.But for Cheng Pingle's sake, he wouldn't refuse.

"Master Shen, please tell me."

"At the end of today's time, there may be a doctor or a servant coming to the gate of the palace to report. If you see it, ask someone to inform me, and I will come right away."

Naturally, not everyone can enter the palace gate, and several procedures are required. What Shen Shiyi wants to do is to understand the situation as soon as possible.

"It's a small matter, Mr. Shen, don't worry."

Chen Qing'an patted his chest, as long as he didn't violate the palace rules and brought people into the palace, it was indeed a trivial matter.

Shen Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, thank you Master Chen."

The two parted, and within a few steps, Chen Qing'an turned his head and looked at Shen Shiyi's back in a cloak. He was walking steadily, step by step, not at all similar to Cheng Pingle's escape.Since the last time Cheng Pingle explained, he also mentioned Shen Shiyi to his father An Dinghou when he went back, and their views were all to wait and see what happened, just watching from the sidelines.Seeing Shen Shiyi laying down a foundation step by step in the court full of men, occasionally when his father mentioned Shen Shiyi, he couldn't help but nod.

Chen Qing'an remembered Shen Shiyi scratching his head just now.He couldn't help shaking his head, turned around and walked towards the palace gate.

Beifeng continued to roar, and the huge square at the gate of the palace gave Beifeng room to play.The north wind was like a gallant horse galloping [-] miles away, crashing into the city wall desperately, becoming fragmented, and then making a comeback with a new form, bumping over again and again.

The guard at the door was holding the halberd, like a sea needle, firmly fixed in the wind pool, without a trace of shaking.

Chen Qing'an used to be in the side room roasting the stove and drinking hot tea, very comfortable, but now, he got up from time to time and took a look outside.

"My lord, what's the matter with you? Listening to the north wind and drinking tea is so enjoyable, you insisted on going there. Could it be that there is a future Snow Maiden out there who hooked your soul?"

People in the army have always been able to eat well if they mingle together.What's more, every guard of the palace gate has a foundation.Either they were born as noble sons, or they were selected as the best among the common people and sent to the palace.

In Chen Qing'an's team, they had both, and they talked very casually on weekdays.

Chen Qing'an was not annoyed at the jokes made by the subordinates, he just waved his hands and didn't say much.

"Who is that?"

Outside the palace gate square, there was a real figure approaching, the guard who looked like the palace gate just now was surprised.

If I had known earlier, there would never be any uninvited guests at the gate of the palace for ten thousand years.

Chen Qing'an also saw the black shadow in the distance, and immediately called his subordinates, "Shut up, go and call Master Shen Shiyi and Shen to come over."

Those who can enter the palace as guards have a lot of heart, and some have a righteous heart. When the guard heard Chen Qing'an's words, he didn't ask any more questions, and immediately walked towards Nekusi in the palace.

When the man outside the palace gate was stumbling and swaying left and right to the gate of the palace under the ravages of the north wind, and was afraid of the majesty of the palace gate and dared not step forward, Shen Shiyi hurriedly followed the guards to the gate of the palace.

"Sir Shen!"

An urgent cry was torn apart by the north wind. Others could not hear what this person said at all, only saw the frightened expression on this person's face.

Shen Shiyi took a few steps forward, and that person turned out to be the medicine boy of Dr. Hu, the doctor in Huichuntang. He was usually a domineering little boss in Huichuntang, but now he didn't dare to show his prestige at the gate of the palace. Shen Shiyi yelled in his ears, "My lord, hurry up and take a look. You have had diarrhea after showing Mr. Hu a few moves today. The situation is a little serious. Mr. Hu wants you to come up with an idea!"

Immediately afterwards, the drug boy took a step forward, subconsciously whispered in the howling north wind, and said solemnly, "Mr. Hu said, if a dozen people have such severe diarrhea all at once, isn't it a plague? Kyoto, millions People, there can be no plague, otherwise, people will be confused, and many people will die."

The voice of the drug boy was trembling, he didn't know if it was caused by the cold wind, or he was frightened by his husband's serious face.

When Shen Shiyi heard this, he immediately turned around and beckoned Chen Qing'an to come over with his hands.

Chen Anqing hesitated for a moment, then left the brothers behind and walked in front of Shen Shiyi.

He couldn't figure out what would make Shen Shiyi so taboo, and even let his subordinates misunderstand him.

Shen Shiyi didn't care about other people's thoughts, and told Chen Qing'an about Dr. Hu's concerns, and Chen Anqing's face became serious instantly.

"It's not too late, Mr. Shen, hurry up and call your majesty with me. Come on, shut up this little boy, and don't let him say a word before I come back!"

Chen Qing'an greeted the subordinates. Although the subordinates laughed and laughed with him on weekdays, they never pulled their hips when they were serious. Seeing that Chen Qing'an was so serious, they immediately blocked Yaotong's mouth.

On the passageway into the palace, Chen Qing'an was in front, Shen Shiyi was behind, and the two of them walked quickly into the palace in small steps.

At this time, His Majesty was attending court in the Chengming Hall, and the two of them were not of sufficient status. In order not to cause unnecessary influence, the two of them went to Chunxi Pavilion first.

Shen Shiyi thought that he still had some face in Chunxi Pavilion, so he immediately found a small yellow door and asked him to call the fourth prince back.

Xiao Huangmen naturally knew that Chengming Hall was not allowed to enter and leave without permission during the court meeting, but when Lord Shen opened his mouth, he hurried to Chengming Hall immediately.

I don't know what method the little yellow gate used, but after a while, Qin Zhan hurried over.

After glancing at Chen Qing'an, Qin Zhan walked up to Shen Shiyi, "What happened?"

Qin Zhan didn't ask why, but asked her what happened.

Shen Shiyi whispered, and sent the doctor in Huichuntang to ask for the pulse of the dozen or so juzi who bought new salt yesterday, and then all the juzi had diarrhea at the same time, the situation was serious, and they suspected that there was an unknown plague.

Qin Zhan suddenly realized.Shen Shiyi acted yesterday. Although he knew that there must be a deep meaning, he did not expect that it would be in this way.

It was a farce, but it was also an opportunity.

Qin Zhan turned his mind for a moment, and then looked at Chen Qing'an, "Go and bring the medicine boy, and I will invite Father. After a while, you take people directly to Qiande Hall. Shi Yi, follow me."

At the court meeting, the caring people first discovered that the fourth prince was called away by a small yellow gate, and they were thinking, could it be that there is something wrong with the harem?After a while, I saw the fourth prince leading a woman, Shen Shiyi, into the Chengming Hall in a grand manner.

At the moment, it touched the nerves of some people.
