A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You
Chapter 112: Family
Chapter 112: Family (14)
Choice
She didn't wait until the next day for the performance of the book, she and Ama made up their minds, procrastinating was not an option, so she should report back.At the end of this matter, there must be a saying, black is black, and white is white. Since there is no such batch of money in the treasury, and I dare not put it in, then I can only report it according to the facts.
The emperor knew about the situation a long time ago, and the account couldn't be settled. The closest people took turns to intervene, and they always had to save three points of face.So after a reprimand, he ordered a strict investigation, and the thief must be dug out.
When Shu Ming exited the Hall of Mental Cultivation, his legs were shaking, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Girl, give me a hand."
Songyin hurriedly supported her, and fanned her Ama, "Are you going to die? I will teach the imperial physician."
Shuming shook his head, "If you really want to, just let it go, and wait until now!" He swallowed hard, and pointed with a finger, "Next time I will open the warehouse, either you or me, one must I need to be there. I can’t let the subordinates do it, look, how scary! Fortunately, there are Lu Run and Rong Shi, otherwise we will not escape this time.”
Song Yin said yes, "Let's thank them later and invite them to dinner."
Shuming thought for a while, "It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there will be another chaos. Let's take a breath when the day is over, and then order a table and bring it home, and entertain others well."
Song Yin agreed, and turned around to take a look, through the glass of Dongnuan Pavilion, he could see the scene inside.The emperor was grading papers on the south kang, and Lu Run in front of the kang was holding his sleeves and studying ink, and happened to raise his eyes, met her eyes, and smiled faintly.
His existence is moist and silent, Song Yin sometimes feels that he is not like a human being in the world, he should be a fairy or something, and he has come down to earth, otherwise he is so clear and sad.It's a pity that it is incomplete, and it is cheaper for the emperor, otherwise it would be great to marry a wife and have children to live a normal life!
She, Ama, is actually an exquisite and sweet-hearted person. Seeing that she couldn't help turning her head, she said sadly: "One person has one life. It's not good luck. If you entrust yourself to a poor family, all the sufferings in the world will be exhausted. In the end, you may not be able to get rid of all the hardships." .”
Her heart trembled, "He is the emperor's confidant, the emperor will protect him."
Shu Ming glanced at her, "What are you thinking? If you can protect her for a while, you won't be able to protect her forever. For the emperor, he is a eunuch at the right age. When you get old, you will have no children, no daughters, and no one to rely on. I have lost my teeth and I still have to kowtow to greet my master, bring some water for washing my feet, and pour an official's house... Poor."
He spoke vividly, as if right in front of his eyes, which made Song Yin sigh.I can't imagine what it will be like when it really arrives. When I was young, I was in full bloom, but when I was old, I was late and the end came one after another. It really ruined the beauty of the present.
"One day I will take him home, support him, and let him have no worries about food and clothing." She said to herself, "He helped me several times, and I am grateful for his kindness."
Shu Ming grinned, "It's up to you. From now on, you will be your own family, and you will have the final say on how you love. Rong is an honest boss, and he looks shrewd. He will be a role model in the future."
Songyin was ashamed, put his hand away and said, "I won't help you anymore, you can go by yourself!" Go back and ask Su La to take the archived files, and send them to the Department of Punishment.
The eunuchs of the Punishment Department are all of vicious virtue, with their eyes pierced upside down, but their faces are full of flowers when they meet their superiors, and they keep saying "you are troublesome, you are troubled".
She handed over all the things that should be used to the eunuch in charge, "The chief executive has been in a lot of trouble recently, and he still has to prepare for the tour of the Western Mountains. I will follow here. I have already sent someone to the guard office, wait a minute , and the trial will begin when everyone arrives."
Chen Liutong responded, looked at her, and smiled hesitantly, "Little manager, you haven't been involved in a case before, right? Our interrogators are not polite here, so don't scare you when you turn around."
She doesn't mind others treating her as a woman, since she wants to stand up in terms of value, she doesn't need gender preferential treatment.She glanced at him, "I didn't let you be polite, so I interrogated him harshly. I caught him before midnight today. I'm anxious to go back to Lord Long Live."
"That's it." Chen Liutong yelled, "You can play well! We might as well have a bodyguard office, where Commander Rong's means are, even a stone bodhisattva, we have to tell him to speak."
Song Yin nodded, thinking of that reckless person, it may be true to say that he is powerful, but it is hard to imagine for her, anyway, every time he sees him, he is always smiling, which is not scary.
When he came, he was covered with heat, his temples were dripping with sweat, and his face was so white and translucent.After entering the door, he took off his hat and threw it to the eunuch beside him. Seeing her startled for a moment, he raised his hand to wipe off his sweat and asked, "Why is it you? Didn't you not be allowed to come?"
She tucked her hands in and said, "Ama, I have other things to worry about, so I won't bother him here." She turned her head and motioned him to look at the account books, "Opening the warehouse three times, from access control to unlocking and filing, everything should be there. I counted in advance, there are two officers, 26 bodyguards, and [-] Kudins, all of whom have been sent to await trial, and they are in the enclosure at the back. Let your lord see when it will start, and press everyone in."
He frowned slightly, Mr. Rong shouted really alienated, but in front of people, he always had to put on a show.What worries him is that she is here, and he is afraid of giving her a bad impression.The Department of Punishment has never been a warm place. The eunuchs and maids committed crimes, and when they were brought here, there was basically no return.In the past few years, he has undertaken a few thefts, and the palace uses strict punishments for such things. Although she is not Bai Xueliuli, she is a girl after all, and it seems that it is not very good to be there.
He glanced into the ear room, "Master Tong, please rest first, I will take someone to the back for interrogation, and I will return to you when I understand the interrogation."
Song Yin looked at his expression, he had a solemn face, his straight figure was like a pine tree, but he had an air of serenity.This time, instead of discussing with her, he changed his tone of commanding.He is the son of the second rank, but she is only from the fourth rank. When it comes to the position, she really has to listen to him.
She had no choice but to nod, "Okay, I'll wait in the ear room, everything is too much for Mrs. Rong."
He turned and went out, neat and capable.The spring knife embroidered on the waist and the seven things hit each other, making a clanging sound.
Song Yin didn't follow to the enclosure, but sat down safely.The little eunuch served her tea, and two plates of iced fruits were placed in front of her. She sat under the window and waited quietly. Occasionally, she heard severe scolding from behind. Every brick and pillar in this place has a gloomy air, and she doesn't feel hot. , An inexplicable chill would rise from the bottom of my heart.
In fact, this kind of case seems to have no clue, and it is not difficult to try it.It is to build momentum, create a terrifying atmosphere, and require everyone to explain their whereabouts clearly. If the front and back cannot be matched, then this person is suspicious.But before the end of the road, everyone took chances, and no one would confess easily.Song Yin waited until Haishi from never to no progress.She was a little anxious, so she got up and went back.In fact, the Punishment Division does not have a large prison, and the row of enclosed rooms at the back is used for torture and detention. When you step into the narrow alley, you can faintly feel that the evil spirit is very heavy.
The white gauze lanterns hung under the eaves, illuminating the paper mullion windows. She couldn't see the scene inside, so she climbed up the steps and looked inward.One round of torture had already been carried out, and the two young Kuding were lying on the bench, their buttocks were beaten to pieces.The eunuch begged loudly for mercy when he was beaten, unlike the maids who were not allowed to make a sound, they screamed like killing a pig before, but then they continued to hum when they were exhausted.
Rongshi didn't notice her coming, so he focused all his energy on the case, and said in a deep voice, "Howling for your mother's funeral! This is an appetizer, don't explain it, and it will benefit you. Strict mouth is a good thing, but you have to watch it When is it. When your life is almost gone, you still want to show loyalty. A stab at the bottom doesn't count, but the superior also wants to make up for it?"
Those who were tortured couldn't help crying out, killing chickens to make an example to monkeys, while those watching by the side turned pale with fright.Now that we have started, we have to finish the trick to the end. The two eunuchs have rough skin and thick flesh, thinking that they will be over after being beaten, how can it be so easy!He gave an order, and the guards set him up. There were shackles at the four corners of the huge torture frame, and he clasped his limbs together and stretched them into a large character.He received the whip skillfully, dipped it in the salt water, and raised his hand to whip.There was only a whistling sound, the whip touched the flesh, and wherever it went, it was as if a sharp knife had been cut, and the wound almost penetrated deep into the bone marrow.That Kuding screamed heart-piercingly, and the snow-white incision quickly gushed out blood, and then it seemed to be broken, and it dripped on the blue bricks below him.
Song Yin's heart skipped a beat, and only then did he realize that the whip was specially made, and each section of the whip was inlaid with thin iron wires, and its power was extraordinary.She felt strange that Rong Shi at this moment was different from what she remembered, he was the commander of the imperial army and had no emotion.He is in charge of the security of the Forbidden City, as long as he feels suspicious, he has enough power to control people's life and death.
Because those two Kuding explained their whereabouts too fluently, and no one confirmed it, they could make a big fuss.It doesn't matter if you don't admit it after the whipping, he threw the whip and fluttered his hands, "Let's pass on the tin snake!"
The tin snake is a form of torture in which a hollow tin tube is wrapped around the prisoner's body, and boiling water is poured into the tube.The openings at both ends of the tin pipe have different sizes, the upper one is larger and the lower one is smaller.Continuous water injection, slow discharge, is bound to overflow from the mouth at the top, pouring all over the body like this.This is a very vicious criminal law. After one round, when the tin snake is released, the skin and flesh will stick to the tin pipe and be brought down together.
Song Yin was terrified. She had only heard about it before, but had never seen it before. When she saw that the guards really invited the instruments of torture, she couldn't even stand up.No wonder he told her to keep her back and wait for news in the front office, only then did she realize that he was not as simple and harmless as she thought.A naughty person from a young age has entered the sticky place, and if he doesn't learn the good skills of manipulating people, he is really ashamed of his talent.What's going on now? He's trying to stand up for her, to help her.But she was still afraid, trembling, unable to resist.
She was afraid, and of course those who were being interrogated were also afraid, and finally cried out, "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life...it's the little ones who did it, it's all the little ones who did it..."
Song Yin was shocked, and his mind cleared up. Sometimes such means are really needed. The eunuchs bear the burden of humiliation, and simple punishment does not work for them.Only by ruthlessly beating them until they are afraid can the truth be taken out of their mouths.
She let out a long breath, and stood under the eaves with her hands down.I wanted to listen to the follow-up, but Rong Shi's method was very strange, and the rest of the people were dismissed just like that.Then he laughed lightly, "I recruited early, and I will not suffer from flesh and blood." He called the eunuch beside him to put him down, and the two Kudins had already turned into blood gourds, falling on the ground like a puddle of mud.He raised his chin at the two guards next to him, "I'll leave the rest to you. Be sure to find out the whereabouts of the stolen money so that you can tell the Lord Long Live."
The two class leaders responded with a yell, and he turned around and came out.He lowered his head to look at his clothes, and found that there were bloodstains splashed on his body, and the moon-white traces were very dazzling.He smacked his lips in frustration, and took out a sweat towel to wipe it off. Fortunately, the silk was not so absorbent, and after a little wiping, only a little trace remained.
He suddenly raised his head and found her outside, he was a little panicked, "Why are you here, why are you disobedient!"
Song Yin grinned in embarrassment, "I was waiting in the front and wanted to go to the back to take a look... Is the interrogation over? Where are the things?"
He said: "There will be some whereabouts. The eunuch transports things like mice carrying food, and dumps them here and there. If they are all in the palace, they can be found out at once, but if they are transported out of the palace, they will be tracked down." Get up and use your strength."
She nodded, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and said awkwardly: "I'll watch first, and I'm worried that torture will be a trick."
He didn't speak, but in fact, she had guessed that it was indeed a trick of torture, and those things were not stolen by Kuding at all.
When he met the emperor before, the holy intention was obvious, and he really had the heart to dismiss Tong Jia.How could Curry be missing something?He had thought a long time ago that the people below were not so courageous, and only the emperor ordered him to deliberately set up such a trap for them to take advantage of.She went to beg Lu Run, is Lu Run clean?He announced the decree, and followed him in and out of the Guangchu Division. When something happened, no one dared to report him for trial, so he might not be unaware of the emperor's intentions. It was only later that he changed his mind temporarily for unknown reasons and handed over the case to the Punishment Bureau. Division investigation.
It is almost impossible for the Department of Punishment to investigate and deal with the stolen goods.Will the emperor admit that he stole the treasury?Where is the majesty of the emperor?So I ordered him to be an assistant, knowing that he was clever and could create something out of nothing.So those two unlucky Kuding topped the tank, and the crime fell on them.The next thing to do is to find a way to solve the shortfall. The emperor is also interesting, no matter who pays the money, he can be regarded as a steady profit.To be an emperor to such an extent is really quite a feat.
But he can't tell her about this, what if she has a grudge in her heart and turns against Prince Yu?He has to guard so that he does not become a man inside or outside.As for the money, he has a private house, in addition to 200 taels of silver, miscellaneous cat's eyes and tourmalines, and a total of 5000 taels is about the same.
It's not easy to beg for a house and daughter-in-law. You can't say that you have to hide such a big money from everyone.He felt that since the emperor could give up this great opportunity, Tong Jia's family should be safe for a long time to come.It is the emperor's wishful thinking to deceive people and ask others to be grateful.He was waiting for Songyin's father and daughter to report their loyalty to the Lord, so Songyin couldn't have any emotions, and if he accidentally made a face, he would arouse the emperor's suspicion again.
He could only tell her earnestly, "You must say what the emperor said, thank you master for your forgiveness. If he chokes to death, the Tong family will at least be punished with a downgrade this time."
She hummed, because she didn't know so much inside information, she was very relaxed, and she even walked with wind, and said with a smile: "I remember, after tomorrow, I will face the saint, regardless of whether the things can be recovered or not. I’ll report it later. I’m thinking, chase after it if you can, and if it’s missing, I’ll make it up here, so don’t make the master feel bad.”
He waved his arms and casually said no need, "I know it well, I can chase it back."
He and she were walking in the narrow aisle, the eunuch in front led the way, and the deadly wind flickered, illuminating the square bricks on their toes.With no burden on her shoulders, Songyin felt that she could breathe easily.Turning to look at him, he was smiling again, and glanced at her lightly, "Why do you keep looking at me? Is it because I am so handsome that I can't move my eyes?"
Song Yin smiled, "I just want to thank you, you always help me, again and again."
"It's good to know, it's a big punishment for causing me such a gentle temper, you have to thank me well." After thinking about it, he reminded her, "Don't forget the dinner I said, when I come back from Xishan , let's go together!"
She thought for a while and said, "My ama and I have agreed to hold a banquet at home. I invite you and Lu Run to come to our house as guests."
He twitched the corner of his mouth, "And Lu Run's share? It's your reason to invite me. I have a different table with you, just the two of us."
Song Yin was a little embarrassed, pointed to the eunuch who was lighting the lamp in front, and signaled him to be careful not to show his whiteness in front of others.
He grinned, "Quan'er, what did Master Tong and I just say?"
The little eunuch named Quan'er replied respectfully, "I have been deaf for three years, and I haven't heard anything."
Song Yin laughed, since he was deaf, he answered immediately when his name was called, which showed that he was not completely deaf.
He didn't take it seriously, and raised his eyebrows proudly, expressing that there was no need to worry.This little eunuch is Su La who is dedicated to serving him in the duty room. He is a very reliable child. The master and his sweetheart have a few words of their own, but he dare not spread them everywhere if he has the guts to do so.
"Then it's settled. I'll find a way to change shifts with someone when I come back. We'll go out together when you take a bath someday." He said in the dark, reaching out to hold her in the dark, with his little fingers hooked together like It's like taking an oath.
Song Yin kept his expression on the face, but there was a cluster of flames in his heart, which tended to burn more and more.Before he held her hand, she just followed the crowd, but this time she gave him a little response and held him tightly. He noticed it, and his eyes lit up with joy.He said in his heart that it is not wrong to use money to fill the hole of the emperor, looking at the current situation, can Prince Yu still compare with him?Not even a toe of his!He puts more thought into her than him, and he treats her more sincerely than he does.Song Yin is a practical and good girl, she knows what is good and who is more suitable for her.
As for Song Yin, after seeing his cruelty just now, she felt a little guilty at the time, but felt nothing afterward.She is an official in the imperial court, if she sees dark things, she will be frightened, like a delicate flower, she can't survive at all.If you don't talk about others, just call her Ama, and use tricks when necessary, otherwise how can you sit on the Diaoyutai!How many people work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is jealous, it is a cornucopia, and the Tong family has been doing it for more than 80 years.The emperor has six private treasuries. Although the Tong family is not as good as them, they are not far behind. If they were not able to turn the tide, they would have been dragged down 800 years ago.
"It will be fifteen in two days. This time, the banquet will be held in the Old Summer Palace, and we need to take care of it. The palace can't be sloppy. I don't know if I can spare time." She said apologetically, "If you can Okay, I'll try to send you a message. If it doesn't work, just wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's been postponed anyway, and it shouldn't be a problem to postpone it for two more days."
He is also refreshing, he doesn't care about this moment, sometimes he has time to be alone.Looking at her by the light of the lantern, her dignified and beautiful face was full of righteousness everywhere.He likes her from the bottom of his heart, and sometimes when he thinks about it, he feels that holding hands is not enough, and he wants to hug her.There were two times when I almost acted, but after all I was a little afraid of her, afraid that she would slap me, so I gave up.
He sent her back and bid farewell in front of the guard door.She looked up at the sky, the moon was in the sky, "It's getting late, are you still on duty tonight?"
He twirled his fingers and said, "It's over after a round of patrolling, and it's not considered on duty."
He didn't seem to want to leave, the mother-in-law was lying in front of her door, Songyin blinked at him, "Are you planning to come in and sit for a while?" He was about to nod, but she smiled, "No, it's not good to be seen , this is the palace, not like my own home."
He was a little disappointed, and he said slowly, "Then your family will host a banquet later, and I'll sit in your room!"
Song Yin was a little embarrassed, "Okay, let's figure out what's going on in the room."
He explained it reasonably, "Didn't you say that we are not familiar yet? I just want to get to know you better. You see, we didn't deal with each other before, and we would pinch when we met. It's different now. We are already half of our own, and we can't grow old." See you. I also invite you to go to my room, I have a lot of gadgets, I will show you. Whatever you want, I will give it to you."
A second-rank official, there are some strange odds and ends hidden in the house, and he asked her to see it as if offering a treasure, which is a bit ridiculous when you think about it.She twisted her handkerchief and said, "I don't need anything, and I don't want to go to your house."
He became anxious, "It takes a process to understand... Well, let me make you a jewelry box for you to put on your face." Then he looked her up and down, "Do you wear jewelry? I see why you always wear tassels, You don’t have hairpins and dots?”
Of course, Songyin also dressed up before she was 14 years old, with Aunt Lianye's ear picks inserted in her hair, and she pulled them out to pick out her ears if she had nothing to do.Later, when she entered the yamen as an errand, Er Nie also said that she didn't like to dress up. At home, she often tied her hair up and wore a bunch of tassels.
Before she could speak, he consciously found a way to please her, muttered contentedly, and turned away.Song Yin stood blankly watching him go away, wanted to call him but didn't know what to say, so she retreated into the guard room.
Finally, the matter of Guangchusi was over, and the two Kudings had no time to transport the things out, and buried them under a longclaw locust tree.Dig according to the location they explained, and it was dug out as soon as it was dug.Song Yin took those things and went to answer the emperor. First, he blamed himself deeply, and then thanked his master for his extrajudicial grace. In the future, he will work harder for his master.
After all, Jiang is still old and spicy, and Shu Ming’s views are different from Song Yin’s. That day, the father and his father went home together, and after dinner, he took care of his dragon goldfish with the teapot in his hand, and asked while feeding the bait: “The case is about Rongshi.” With full authority?"
Song Yin said yes, and followed Ama leisurely, waving a round fan, "I watched him try the case that day, but I didn't expect him to carry out the sentence without any ambiguity. It really scared me."
Shuming hummed, "The background of the guards is not simple, they rely on this to make a living, don't think of people too kindly. What do you and him say?"
Songyin never likes to hide anything from Ama, she always tells him what's on her mind.But after all, she was a girl, and she was a little awkward when it came to life-long events, so she said after a while: "It's just that he is very good, I like him a little bit."
Shu Ming looked back at her, "Have you thought about it?"
She accepted his token, so she should have already thought about it.She nodded, "I think he can entrust it. If the time is almost up, let Ama be the master. I want to marry him."
Shuming was a little dumbfounded, this girl has a vigorous personality, and she is unequivocal when it comes to marriage.He also thinks that Rong Shi is very good, otherwise he would not have used the matter of Jin Mo and Rong Xu as an introduction to tie up the marriage between that brother and the child below.But the situation is changing, and the past two years have been particularly turbulent. They may look calm on the surface, just like the female relatives at home, who never know the undercurrents and dangers in the court.But as an official in the palace, Song Yin should know the pros and cons better than them.
He sighed, "You're still young, you're only nineteen after your birthday, you're still young, Ama wants to keep you for two more years, so let's not talk about it."
Song Yin didn't expect her, Ama, to say that, and stared at him blankly for a moment.
With his hands behind his back, Shuming watched a flock of pigeons fly by in the sky, and said softly, "Rongshi is a man, he is quiet, but he is very responsible. This time Liuku is short of something, and he will untie it in his hands." Now, I have to say that he is busy and we are very busy, but I always feel that there is something strange inside, I am afraid it is not that simple. I have already quietly visited, and the things under Longzhaohuai were ambushed in advance, and I will let you dig. In other words, the whereabouts of this batch of things are still unknown, but all the stolen money has been recovered, so the emperor has nothing to say."
Song Yin's mind was spinning quickly, and she looked at her Ama anxiously, "You mean, Rong knows what's going on inside, and he made a scapegoat to excuse us?"
Shuming nodded slowly, "It's possible, and I understand it, this time the thief is very big, I'm afraid no one will dare to take him down. Rong can see everything in his eyes, he knows it well, so he dares to do this deal with it, and blocked the emperor's mouth. But have you ever thought about it, there will be a second time the first time, the higher-ups are very active, and there may be another day. We are slaves, will we be able to save our lives by then? , all in one word.”
Song Yin was very confused, stood there in a daze, "That Rongshi..."
Shuming waved his hand, "Let's not talk about the truth, let's talk about Prince Yu. After all, he is the master of our serious banner. I was originally facing the emperor. I don't want to listen to Liu Ye's order unless it is absolutely necessary. But you Look at what happened this time, isn't it chilling? Today's Long Live Lord is a trapped beast. He wants to remove obstacles with red eyes, but Liu Ye has soldiers in his hands, and the Queen Mother is still alive, so he can't easily move Liu Ye. We people Well, he is as small as a powder, and he blows away and he blows away. If you want to ask me what I mean now, I would rather the sixth master ascend to the top than the ruin of the Tong family's foundation in the hands of this Long Live Lord."
Song Yin felt terrified, "Ama means..."
"There are two ways right now, one way, to surrender to the sixth master. What should I surrender? There is a pregnant master in Jingqi Pavilion. If you donate her, the sixth master will naturally trust you; the second... just like last time Rongshi is just like what you said, find someone to enter the palace to serve the emperor. With this excuse, the emperor can carry our status. Once we leave the Xianghuang Banner, the emperor will have no worries about the future. Not to mention promoting you as a confidant, at least not Will make things difficult for you on purpose."
This is a difficult choice, but when it comes to this point, let's just muddle along, maybe at some point a house raid order will fall on the Tong family.However, Guo Guiren and the child in her womb are two lives. When she thinks of Xi Guiren in the Northeast No. [-] Institute, she blames herself so much that she can't sleep at night, and she won't be able to live again.As for sending people into the palace... who would want to bury their golden years to strengthen the foundation of the family?
She didn't know if Ama knew the inside story she had heard, and she felt that it was difficult to speak. After hesitating for a long time, she said, "I went back to Jingqi Pavilion, Guo Guiren said something to me, and I was surprised when I heard it..." She He made a gesture with difficulty, "The emperor is a little abnormal, he is a lucky concubine..."
Shuming coughed twice, raised his hand and said, "I know what you mean. If that's the case, I have to confess Master Guo. You have to go see the Sixth Prince and explain things to him clearly."
She hurriedly said no, "That's human life. If you want him to know, can Guo Guiren still live?"
Shuming looked at her sadly, "You, a woman's kindness is hard to achieve. Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger, do you know that? You are almost losing your own life, and you still have the time to care about others? Let me ask you , Is it two lives that matter, or our family's hundreds of lives? Girl, you are too young and have little experience. I don't want you to kill and make decisions like an old monster. But you can't be confused at this time I also thought about it, it’s really bad to hurt people, or else I’d better discuss it with the old lady and send him into the palace! There have been many emperors who raised prostitutes throughout the ages, so it’s really no big deal for the old man to do this. She is living well, and I haven't seen her missing a piece of meat."
Song Yin fell silent. At present, it seems that the price that needs to be paid is the least, but although it is not life-threatening, it will affect a woman's life for a lifetime.She bowed her head and thought for a long time, "If no one agrees, then I will go! If you choose a suitable person to assist the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the future of the Tong family is much more important to me than myself."
Of course Shuming refused, "You go? What if you go to my place? What about Rongshi? You don't want it anymore? No, don't think about it. I know you can afford it for your family, but you can't go back for business. Ben'er, what are you planning? Don't think about it, I'll go back to the old lady and listen to her instructions."
Song Yinchi stepped down, and Ama had already gone to the upper room.
The old lady had just eaten rose marinade and some milk skin, and was belching in the center of the earth to digest her food. When the elder said that she would choose someone to enter the palace, she immediately knew that it was going to be difficult.She stopped, and the girl next to her came to help her, but she waved her away.I moved back to sit on the Luohan couch, frowned and began to think carefully, "Tong Jia has not sent anyone to the palace for more than 60 years. There was a noble concubine in my ancestors. It was too long ago, and I broke up with the emperor's family long ago. No. It’s really not good for a family like ours without this layer of protection. If you say you want to pick someone, then pick someone. Call all the fourteen to eighteen people in each house and ask them what they think.”
The old lady's order was passed on, and soon the ladies from all the prefectures were gathered together.The wives were very surprised, "Why do you want to enter the palace all of a sudden?"
The old lady lowered her eyes and smoked her orchid cigarettes, pondered for a while before saying: "Working for the emperor, all you have to do is work hard? You haven't heard the saying that it's not as good as whispering by the pillow? The wall is so high, The foundation also needs to be dug deep, or it will collapse if there is a gust of wind. The family needs to be strong and stable, right now we have to rely on the aunts and grandmas. I counted, there are eight people who don’t have a family, and you say it yourself, who wants to enter the palace and become a concubine? "
Several girls are Song Yin's peers, standing side by side, all of them have glamorous looks.Hearing what the old lady said, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one spoke.
The old lady knocked on the cigarette pot, "Don't be ashamed, whoever goes there will be the hero of the Tong family. I will tell you, life in the palace is lonely, if you don't have a holy family, you won't see the emperor once in a few years. But if you get holy Family, if you take the heart of the Long Live Lord, it will be different, and you will live like an ordinary couple, husband and wife sing along."
This is obviously a lie, the youngest girl asked in a daze: "The old lady has been in the palace? Have you seen the emperor and which concubine have been friends for a lifetime?"
The old lady was almost choking, and said calmly, "Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you seen pigs run away? Of course, the emperor treats a person sincerely. The former founding emperor even hunger strike himself for the sake of women. This is a real thing. People, look at fate, when fate comes, even if he is the emperor, he is still your man."
The old lady was confused, and the children were confused.Finally, I asked: "Who is willing to go? Don't look at Er Nie's face. If you are willing, be straightforward. The Tong family has no sticky people." Everyone still didn't move, because the future was uncertain and they didn't dare to take risks.
Song Yin sighed, rich clothes and fine food were provided, and no one cares about the splendor and wealth in the palace.She was a little disappointed, but also a little thankful, because no one was willing, so she just thought of other ways.
Unexpectedly, a person stepped forward and said very boldly: "I will go."
Song Yin looked up and saw that it was Rang Yu.She was shocked in her heart, she didn't know which muscle of this idiot was wrong, did she plan to hide for a while because she was dissatisfied with the Shang family's marriage?
The eldest lady also panicked, "Are you obsessed with taking a nap? Did you understand what the old lady said?"
Rang Yu's expression was firm, "I understand, fill the harem, and serve as the emperor's concubine. I'm not sleepy, I really want to go. Jin Mo is gone, Song Yin is working with Ama, Tong Qing is still young It's a matter, now that the family has encountered Kan'er, I will do my part. Don't say that I want to be a concubine when you turn around. If some of you are willing to go, it's nothing to do with me. Has anyone changed their mind?" She glanced over and found that Everyone lowered their heads, and she snorted, "Look, none of them are willing, the Tong family is sprawled in mud, and they all shrank their necks to let the tall ones push them up. I'm from the long house, and I'm not as pushy as you are, so I'll go. "
She said it so righteously, but she was actually angry, because the old lady insisted on marrying her to that hornet, and she couldn't stand it after making trouble twice. Now that she has this opportunity, no matter what, the emperor is better than the hornet.Song Yin understands her feelings, when Jin Mo was there before, she was not valued as much as Rang Yu.The old lady is a relatively authoritarian person. She has always had the final say in the family. As long as she thinks it is good, your opinions are not important.So Rang Yu must be desperate, he would rather enter the palace than let the old lady arrange his life.But she didn't know that she fell from a vat into a well, and it was impossible to climb out after entering the palace.
Songyin was very sad, she looked at Ama, Ama sighed with drooping corners of her mouth.
Can't say anything, is it possible for other people's children to enter the palace, but your child is not allowed to enter the palace?Then you still dig a hole for others to jump?Shuming was suffering, and nodded in frustration, "It's settled now, it won't hurt to let Yu enter the palace, Er Niu and I are here, old lady don't worry."
The long house lost another member, and the eldest wife couldn't help it, so she turned around and wiped away her tears.All the houses are broken up, as far as the old lady is concerned, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and she must give up a granddaughter, so although she can't bear it, she won't be sad.
The next step is to discuss the process of entering the palace, because the time for the draft has passed, and there is no legitimate reason for not being able to enter the gate.Song Yin went to discuss with Hui Zhu'er and got a name from her. The invitation sign only said that she was visiting her, so she just entered Shunzhen gate with a good name.Concubine Hui is a person with no enterprising spirit. She has a princess and a position, and she is as happy as a fairy, and she doesn't care about the emperor.According to her words, "there are too many women in the palace, what's the difference between a hundred robbing and a hundred and one robbing? Let Sanyu come in, so we can have a companion."
Songyin agreed and asked Rangyu to bring her a basket of seasonal fresh food. New meal is indeed New meal, and everything will be fine with food.Using the excuse of the princess thinking about Huang Ama, someone went to invite the emperor.When the emperor came, the princess had already fallen asleep, so she escaped and let Tong Shuntang out.
She came to Songyin and reported the progress to her, "I think Lord Long Live is a little interested in Sanyu, so you go home and wait for the order!" Then she sighed, "You guys are really unreliable. They are in my house. It’s good to look at others and ignore my face. Fortunately, I have Ni’er, our mother and I depend on each other, who cares about him.”
Song Yin still felt ashamed of her, "Are you angry that I stuffed my girl in?"
She peeled the lychee and said angrily, "I have had a holy family, that's enough, I can't occupy another family by myself for a lifetime. There is no long-lasting love in the palace, they are all fresh. Today I see you very well, and tomorrow I think her Not bad, just come here in rotation like this. If I want to stare at him, I will be pissed off. Besides, he is not mine. If he gives me a child, my Nier is mine. You have to look away when you enter the palace. Talk to Sanyu, don't fall into it, love the emperor?" She sneered, "Those who love the emperor are heartless."
Only then did Songyin realize that this person lives a transparent life and doesn't expect things that don't belong to her, so she doesn't have so many worries.Probably the last time she was going to give birth, it was the time she had thought the most and most utilitarianly.Now that the matter is over, knowing that she is not destined to be the queen mother, three full meals and one drink have become her remaining goals in life.
Let Emperor Yuhe meet once, Song Yin was worried about her grievances, and asked her at night, but she hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "A very handsome man, he is prettier than Hornet."
Girls like to make judgments based on beauty and ugliness, she can't be blamed for this, Song Yin is also like this.But she had revealed the emperor's hobbies to her before, so she couldn't go into details, but told her that the emperor liked men.Rang Yu was shocked after hearing this, but still decided to enter the palace, and she didn't seem disappointed when they met this time.After all, the emperor's external conditions are very good, young, dignified, and in charge of thousands of miles.Rang Yu is a little girl who has never seen the world, and after a few words with people, she starts to miss her day and night.She didn't make a decree for two days, and she talked about it for two days, fidgeting and muttering, is it because she is not beautiful enough, and Long Live God doesn't like it?Or was it because I didn't behave well at that time, and my talk made Long live God dislike me, so she felt good just by herself, and she didn't take it to heart at all?
Song Yin began to worry about her, "There are too many women in the palace, all of them are beauties, you have to go in and keep watch. I thought it would be better if you didn't come for the order. I wish this hadn't happened."
Rang Yu said that would not work, "Can't the Tong family's foundation be consolidated? At first I was for the sake of the family, and I felt that I would follow everyone. But then I stopped. When I met someone, I thought it was really good. He was soft-spoken and I thought he was nice. .”
Song Yin was a little dazed, talking softly, isn't that Lu Run?She has been in the palace for almost three years, and every time she sees the emperor, she is afraid that he will suddenly get angry and want her head.He really didn't have a good face towards her, and this time when he met Rang Yu, he could speak kindly, so it seems that it will be a matter of time before he makes an order.
Sure enough, Sheng Jia Xun Xingxing sent a message to the Ministry of Internal Affairs after his return, because he was only promoted to a permanent residence, and there were no complicated words.The eunuch went to Tong's mansion to send an order, and the whole family kowtowed to thank them, and then put Rang Yuyi in a sedan chair dressed up, and just entered the palace.
The wife cried so hard that one died and the other entered the palace, which meant that two of them disappeared.She didn't dare to complain, didn't dare to howl, she tucked her mouth and murmured, "I was worrying for nothing, and it's all gone in the end."
The old lady glanced at her with a straight face, "Be careful with your mouth! Let Yu enter the palace to serve the emperor, you have a bright face like Ernie. When you become a nobleman or a concubine in the future, you can pass the card to enter the palace." Look at her, how can I put it like it was thrown away for nothing."
The wife hurriedly stopped talking, chased out the door, and watched the small sedan chair go away, crying so hard that she couldn't breathe, and was finally carried back to the bedroom.
Songyin naturally needs to take care of her sister when she enters the palace.After meeting the queen and concubine Hui, Niu Yidun also had a relationship with Rang Yu a few times because of beating Xiao Xiao and Rang Yu, so Yin Qing kept her in the Yonghe Palace.It's hard to be a master in other people's palaces.At any rate, they were old acquaintances, and with her taking care of them, Yu could feel a little easier.
The strange thing is that the emperor didn't call for luck for several days, and Song Yin was also worried, afraid that the respect room would come to report the turn over, and that girl would suffer.But when the time comes, she can't take care of her, so she can only ask for her own blessing.
(End of this chapter)
Choice
She didn't wait until the next day for the performance of the book, she and Ama made up their minds, procrastinating was not an option, so she should report back.At the end of this matter, there must be a saying, black is black, and white is white. Since there is no such batch of money in the treasury, and I dare not put it in, then I can only report it according to the facts.
The emperor knew about the situation a long time ago, and the account couldn't be settled. The closest people took turns to intervene, and they always had to save three points of face.So after a reprimand, he ordered a strict investigation, and the thief must be dug out.
When Shu Ming exited the Hall of Mental Cultivation, his legs were shaking, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Girl, give me a hand."
Songyin hurriedly supported her, and fanned her Ama, "Are you going to die? I will teach the imperial physician."
Shuming shook his head, "If you really want to, just let it go, and wait until now!" He swallowed hard, and pointed with a finger, "Next time I will open the warehouse, either you or me, one must I need to be there. I can’t let the subordinates do it, look, how scary! Fortunately, there are Lu Run and Rong Shi, otherwise we will not escape this time.”
Song Yin said yes, "Let's thank them later and invite them to dinner."
Shuming thought for a while, "It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there will be another chaos. Let's take a breath when the day is over, and then order a table and bring it home, and entertain others well."
Song Yin agreed, and turned around to take a look, through the glass of Dongnuan Pavilion, he could see the scene inside.The emperor was grading papers on the south kang, and Lu Run in front of the kang was holding his sleeves and studying ink, and happened to raise his eyes, met her eyes, and smiled faintly.
His existence is moist and silent, Song Yin sometimes feels that he is not like a human being in the world, he should be a fairy or something, and he has come down to earth, otherwise he is so clear and sad.It's a pity that it is incomplete, and it is cheaper for the emperor, otherwise it would be great to marry a wife and have children to live a normal life!
She, Ama, is actually an exquisite and sweet-hearted person. Seeing that she couldn't help turning her head, she said sadly: "One person has one life. It's not good luck. If you entrust yourself to a poor family, all the sufferings in the world will be exhausted. In the end, you may not be able to get rid of all the hardships." .”
Her heart trembled, "He is the emperor's confidant, the emperor will protect him."
Shu Ming glanced at her, "What are you thinking? If you can protect her for a while, you won't be able to protect her forever. For the emperor, he is a eunuch at the right age. When you get old, you will have no children, no daughters, and no one to rely on. I have lost my teeth and I still have to kowtow to greet my master, bring some water for washing my feet, and pour an official's house... Poor."
He spoke vividly, as if right in front of his eyes, which made Song Yin sigh.I can't imagine what it will be like when it really arrives. When I was young, I was in full bloom, but when I was old, I was late and the end came one after another. It really ruined the beauty of the present.
"One day I will take him home, support him, and let him have no worries about food and clothing." She said to herself, "He helped me several times, and I am grateful for his kindness."
Shu Ming grinned, "It's up to you. From now on, you will be your own family, and you will have the final say on how you love. Rong is an honest boss, and he looks shrewd. He will be a role model in the future."
Songyin was ashamed, put his hand away and said, "I won't help you anymore, you can go by yourself!" Go back and ask Su La to take the archived files, and send them to the Department of Punishment.
The eunuchs of the Punishment Department are all of vicious virtue, with their eyes pierced upside down, but their faces are full of flowers when they meet their superiors, and they keep saying "you are troublesome, you are troubled".
She handed over all the things that should be used to the eunuch in charge, "The chief executive has been in a lot of trouble recently, and he still has to prepare for the tour of the Western Mountains. I will follow here. I have already sent someone to the guard office, wait a minute , and the trial will begin when everyone arrives."
Chen Liutong responded, looked at her, and smiled hesitantly, "Little manager, you haven't been involved in a case before, right? Our interrogators are not polite here, so don't scare you when you turn around."
She doesn't mind others treating her as a woman, since she wants to stand up in terms of value, she doesn't need gender preferential treatment.She glanced at him, "I didn't let you be polite, so I interrogated him harshly. I caught him before midnight today. I'm anxious to go back to Lord Long Live."
"That's it." Chen Liutong yelled, "You can play well! We might as well have a bodyguard office, where Commander Rong's means are, even a stone bodhisattva, we have to tell him to speak."
Song Yin nodded, thinking of that reckless person, it may be true to say that he is powerful, but it is hard to imagine for her, anyway, every time he sees him, he is always smiling, which is not scary.
When he came, he was covered with heat, his temples were dripping with sweat, and his face was so white and translucent.After entering the door, he took off his hat and threw it to the eunuch beside him. Seeing her startled for a moment, he raised his hand to wipe off his sweat and asked, "Why is it you? Didn't you not be allowed to come?"
She tucked her hands in and said, "Ama, I have other things to worry about, so I won't bother him here." She turned her head and motioned him to look at the account books, "Opening the warehouse three times, from access control to unlocking and filing, everything should be there. I counted in advance, there are two officers, 26 bodyguards, and [-] Kudins, all of whom have been sent to await trial, and they are in the enclosure at the back. Let your lord see when it will start, and press everyone in."
He frowned slightly, Mr. Rong shouted really alienated, but in front of people, he always had to put on a show.What worries him is that she is here, and he is afraid of giving her a bad impression.The Department of Punishment has never been a warm place. The eunuchs and maids committed crimes, and when they were brought here, there was basically no return.In the past few years, he has undertaken a few thefts, and the palace uses strict punishments for such things. Although she is not Bai Xueliuli, she is a girl after all, and it seems that it is not very good to be there.
He glanced into the ear room, "Master Tong, please rest first, I will take someone to the back for interrogation, and I will return to you when I understand the interrogation."
Song Yin looked at his expression, he had a solemn face, his straight figure was like a pine tree, but he had an air of serenity.This time, instead of discussing with her, he changed his tone of commanding.He is the son of the second rank, but she is only from the fourth rank. When it comes to the position, she really has to listen to him.
She had no choice but to nod, "Okay, I'll wait in the ear room, everything is too much for Mrs. Rong."
He turned and went out, neat and capable.The spring knife embroidered on the waist and the seven things hit each other, making a clanging sound.
Song Yin didn't follow to the enclosure, but sat down safely.The little eunuch served her tea, and two plates of iced fruits were placed in front of her. She sat under the window and waited quietly. Occasionally, she heard severe scolding from behind. Every brick and pillar in this place has a gloomy air, and she doesn't feel hot. , An inexplicable chill would rise from the bottom of my heart.
In fact, this kind of case seems to have no clue, and it is not difficult to try it.It is to build momentum, create a terrifying atmosphere, and require everyone to explain their whereabouts clearly. If the front and back cannot be matched, then this person is suspicious.But before the end of the road, everyone took chances, and no one would confess easily.Song Yin waited until Haishi from never to no progress.She was a little anxious, so she got up and went back.In fact, the Punishment Division does not have a large prison, and the row of enclosed rooms at the back is used for torture and detention. When you step into the narrow alley, you can faintly feel that the evil spirit is very heavy.
The white gauze lanterns hung under the eaves, illuminating the paper mullion windows. She couldn't see the scene inside, so she climbed up the steps and looked inward.One round of torture had already been carried out, and the two young Kuding were lying on the bench, their buttocks were beaten to pieces.The eunuch begged loudly for mercy when he was beaten, unlike the maids who were not allowed to make a sound, they screamed like killing a pig before, but then they continued to hum when they were exhausted.
Rongshi didn't notice her coming, so he focused all his energy on the case, and said in a deep voice, "Howling for your mother's funeral! This is an appetizer, don't explain it, and it will benefit you. Strict mouth is a good thing, but you have to watch it When is it. When your life is almost gone, you still want to show loyalty. A stab at the bottom doesn't count, but the superior also wants to make up for it?"
Those who were tortured couldn't help crying out, killing chickens to make an example to monkeys, while those watching by the side turned pale with fright.Now that we have started, we have to finish the trick to the end. The two eunuchs have rough skin and thick flesh, thinking that they will be over after being beaten, how can it be so easy!He gave an order, and the guards set him up. There were shackles at the four corners of the huge torture frame, and he clasped his limbs together and stretched them into a large character.He received the whip skillfully, dipped it in the salt water, and raised his hand to whip.There was only a whistling sound, the whip touched the flesh, and wherever it went, it was as if a sharp knife had been cut, and the wound almost penetrated deep into the bone marrow.That Kuding screamed heart-piercingly, and the snow-white incision quickly gushed out blood, and then it seemed to be broken, and it dripped on the blue bricks below him.
Song Yin's heart skipped a beat, and only then did he realize that the whip was specially made, and each section of the whip was inlaid with thin iron wires, and its power was extraordinary.She felt strange that Rong Shi at this moment was different from what she remembered, he was the commander of the imperial army and had no emotion.He is in charge of the security of the Forbidden City, as long as he feels suspicious, he has enough power to control people's life and death.
Because those two Kuding explained their whereabouts too fluently, and no one confirmed it, they could make a big fuss.It doesn't matter if you don't admit it after the whipping, he threw the whip and fluttered his hands, "Let's pass on the tin snake!"
The tin snake is a form of torture in which a hollow tin tube is wrapped around the prisoner's body, and boiling water is poured into the tube.The openings at both ends of the tin pipe have different sizes, the upper one is larger and the lower one is smaller.Continuous water injection, slow discharge, is bound to overflow from the mouth at the top, pouring all over the body like this.This is a very vicious criminal law. After one round, when the tin snake is released, the skin and flesh will stick to the tin pipe and be brought down together.
Song Yin was terrified. She had only heard about it before, but had never seen it before. When she saw that the guards really invited the instruments of torture, she couldn't even stand up.No wonder he told her to keep her back and wait for news in the front office, only then did she realize that he was not as simple and harmless as she thought.A naughty person from a young age has entered the sticky place, and if he doesn't learn the good skills of manipulating people, he is really ashamed of his talent.What's going on now? He's trying to stand up for her, to help her.But she was still afraid, trembling, unable to resist.
She was afraid, and of course those who were being interrogated were also afraid, and finally cried out, "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life...it's the little ones who did it, it's all the little ones who did it..."
Song Yin was shocked, and his mind cleared up. Sometimes such means are really needed. The eunuchs bear the burden of humiliation, and simple punishment does not work for them.Only by ruthlessly beating them until they are afraid can the truth be taken out of their mouths.
She let out a long breath, and stood under the eaves with her hands down.I wanted to listen to the follow-up, but Rong Shi's method was very strange, and the rest of the people were dismissed just like that.Then he laughed lightly, "I recruited early, and I will not suffer from flesh and blood." He called the eunuch beside him to put him down, and the two Kudins had already turned into blood gourds, falling on the ground like a puddle of mud.He raised his chin at the two guards next to him, "I'll leave the rest to you. Be sure to find out the whereabouts of the stolen money so that you can tell the Lord Long Live."
The two class leaders responded with a yell, and he turned around and came out.He lowered his head to look at his clothes, and found that there were bloodstains splashed on his body, and the moon-white traces were very dazzling.He smacked his lips in frustration, and took out a sweat towel to wipe it off. Fortunately, the silk was not so absorbent, and after a little wiping, only a little trace remained.
He suddenly raised his head and found her outside, he was a little panicked, "Why are you here, why are you disobedient!"
Song Yin grinned in embarrassment, "I was waiting in the front and wanted to go to the back to take a look... Is the interrogation over? Where are the things?"
He said: "There will be some whereabouts. The eunuch transports things like mice carrying food, and dumps them here and there. If they are all in the palace, they can be found out at once, but if they are transported out of the palace, they will be tracked down." Get up and use your strength."
She nodded, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and said awkwardly: "I'll watch first, and I'm worried that torture will be a trick."
He didn't speak, but in fact, she had guessed that it was indeed a trick of torture, and those things were not stolen by Kuding at all.
When he met the emperor before, the holy intention was obvious, and he really had the heart to dismiss Tong Jia.How could Curry be missing something?He had thought a long time ago that the people below were not so courageous, and only the emperor ordered him to deliberately set up such a trap for them to take advantage of.She went to beg Lu Run, is Lu Run clean?He announced the decree, and followed him in and out of the Guangchu Division. When something happened, no one dared to report him for trial, so he might not be unaware of the emperor's intentions. It was only later that he changed his mind temporarily for unknown reasons and handed over the case to the Punishment Bureau. Division investigation.
It is almost impossible for the Department of Punishment to investigate and deal with the stolen goods.Will the emperor admit that he stole the treasury?Where is the majesty of the emperor?So I ordered him to be an assistant, knowing that he was clever and could create something out of nothing.So those two unlucky Kuding topped the tank, and the crime fell on them.The next thing to do is to find a way to solve the shortfall. The emperor is also interesting, no matter who pays the money, he can be regarded as a steady profit.To be an emperor to such an extent is really quite a feat.
But he can't tell her about this, what if she has a grudge in her heart and turns against Prince Yu?He has to guard so that he does not become a man inside or outside.As for the money, he has a private house, in addition to 200 taels of silver, miscellaneous cat's eyes and tourmalines, and a total of 5000 taels is about the same.
It's not easy to beg for a house and daughter-in-law. You can't say that you have to hide such a big money from everyone.He felt that since the emperor could give up this great opportunity, Tong Jia's family should be safe for a long time to come.It is the emperor's wishful thinking to deceive people and ask others to be grateful.He was waiting for Songyin's father and daughter to report their loyalty to the Lord, so Songyin couldn't have any emotions, and if he accidentally made a face, he would arouse the emperor's suspicion again.
He could only tell her earnestly, "You must say what the emperor said, thank you master for your forgiveness. If he chokes to death, the Tong family will at least be punished with a downgrade this time."
She hummed, because she didn't know so much inside information, she was very relaxed, and she even walked with wind, and said with a smile: "I remember, after tomorrow, I will face the saint, regardless of whether the things can be recovered or not. I’ll report it later. I’m thinking, chase after it if you can, and if it’s missing, I’ll make it up here, so don’t make the master feel bad.”
He waved his arms and casually said no need, "I know it well, I can chase it back."
He and she were walking in the narrow aisle, the eunuch in front led the way, and the deadly wind flickered, illuminating the square bricks on their toes.With no burden on her shoulders, Songyin felt that she could breathe easily.Turning to look at him, he was smiling again, and glanced at her lightly, "Why do you keep looking at me? Is it because I am so handsome that I can't move my eyes?"
Song Yin smiled, "I just want to thank you, you always help me, again and again."
"It's good to know, it's a big punishment for causing me such a gentle temper, you have to thank me well." After thinking about it, he reminded her, "Don't forget the dinner I said, when I come back from Xishan , let's go together!"
She thought for a while and said, "My ama and I have agreed to hold a banquet at home. I invite you and Lu Run to come to our house as guests."
He twitched the corner of his mouth, "And Lu Run's share? It's your reason to invite me. I have a different table with you, just the two of us."
Song Yin was a little embarrassed, pointed to the eunuch who was lighting the lamp in front, and signaled him to be careful not to show his whiteness in front of others.
He grinned, "Quan'er, what did Master Tong and I just say?"
The little eunuch named Quan'er replied respectfully, "I have been deaf for three years, and I haven't heard anything."
Song Yin laughed, since he was deaf, he answered immediately when his name was called, which showed that he was not completely deaf.
He didn't take it seriously, and raised his eyebrows proudly, expressing that there was no need to worry.This little eunuch is Su La who is dedicated to serving him in the duty room. He is a very reliable child. The master and his sweetheart have a few words of their own, but he dare not spread them everywhere if he has the guts to do so.
"Then it's settled. I'll find a way to change shifts with someone when I come back. We'll go out together when you take a bath someday." He said in the dark, reaching out to hold her in the dark, with his little fingers hooked together like It's like taking an oath.
Song Yin kept his expression on the face, but there was a cluster of flames in his heart, which tended to burn more and more.Before he held her hand, she just followed the crowd, but this time she gave him a little response and held him tightly. He noticed it, and his eyes lit up with joy.He said in his heart that it is not wrong to use money to fill the hole of the emperor, looking at the current situation, can Prince Yu still compare with him?Not even a toe of his!He puts more thought into her than him, and he treats her more sincerely than he does.Song Yin is a practical and good girl, she knows what is good and who is more suitable for her.
As for Song Yin, after seeing his cruelty just now, she felt a little guilty at the time, but felt nothing afterward.She is an official in the imperial court, if she sees dark things, she will be frightened, like a delicate flower, she can't survive at all.If you don't talk about others, just call her Ama, and use tricks when necessary, otherwise how can you sit on the Diaoyutai!How many people work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is jealous, it is a cornucopia, and the Tong family has been doing it for more than 80 years.The emperor has six private treasuries. Although the Tong family is not as good as them, they are not far behind. If they were not able to turn the tide, they would have been dragged down 800 years ago.
"It will be fifteen in two days. This time, the banquet will be held in the Old Summer Palace, and we need to take care of it. The palace can't be sloppy. I don't know if I can spare time." She said apologetically, "If you can Okay, I'll try to send you a message. If it doesn't work, just wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's been postponed anyway, and it shouldn't be a problem to postpone it for two more days."
He is also refreshing, he doesn't care about this moment, sometimes he has time to be alone.Looking at her by the light of the lantern, her dignified and beautiful face was full of righteousness everywhere.He likes her from the bottom of his heart, and sometimes when he thinks about it, he feels that holding hands is not enough, and he wants to hug her.There were two times when I almost acted, but after all I was a little afraid of her, afraid that she would slap me, so I gave up.
He sent her back and bid farewell in front of the guard door.She looked up at the sky, the moon was in the sky, "It's getting late, are you still on duty tonight?"
He twirled his fingers and said, "It's over after a round of patrolling, and it's not considered on duty."
He didn't seem to want to leave, the mother-in-law was lying in front of her door, Songyin blinked at him, "Are you planning to come in and sit for a while?" He was about to nod, but she smiled, "No, it's not good to be seen , this is the palace, not like my own home."
He was a little disappointed, and he said slowly, "Then your family will host a banquet later, and I'll sit in your room!"
Song Yin was a little embarrassed, "Okay, let's figure out what's going on in the room."
He explained it reasonably, "Didn't you say that we are not familiar yet? I just want to get to know you better. You see, we didn't deal with each other before, and we would pinch when we met. It's different now. We are already half of our own, and we can't grow old." See you. I also invite you to go to my room, I have a lot of gadgets, I will show you. Whatever you want, I will give it to you."
A second-rank official, there are some strange odds and ends hidden in the house, and he asked her to see it as if offering a treasure, which is a bit ridiculous when you think about it.She twisted her handkerchief and said, "I don't need anything, and I don't want to go to your house."
He became anxious, "It takes a process to understand... Well, let me make you a jewelry box for you to put on your face." Then he looked her up and down, "Do you wear jewelry? I see why you always wear tassels, You don’t have hairpins and dots?”
Of course, Songyin also dressed up before she was 14 years old, with Aunt Lianye's ear picks inserted in her hair, and she pulled them out to pick out her ears if she had nothing to do.Later, when she entered the yamen as an errand, Er Nie also said that she didn't like to dress up. At home, she often tied her hair up and wore a bunch of tassels.
Before she could speak, he consciously found a way to please her, muttered contentedly, and turned away.Song Yin stood blankly watching him go away, wanted to call him but didn't know what to say, so she retreated into the guard room.
Finally, the matter of Guangchusi was over, and the two Kudings had no time to transport the things out, and buried them under a longclaw locust tree.Dig according to the location they explained, and it was dug out as soon as it was dug.Song Yin took those things and went to answer the emperor. First, he blamed himself deeply, and then thanked his master for his extrajudicial grace. In the future, he will work harder for his master.
After all, Jiang is still old and spicy, and Shu Ming’s views are different from Song Yin’s. That day, the father and his father went home together, and after dinner, he took care of his dragon goldfish with the teapot in his hand, and asked while feeding the bait: “The case is about Rongshi.” With full authority?"
Song Yin said yes, and followed Ama leisurely, waving a round fan, "I watched him try the case that day, but I didn't expect him to carry out the sentence without any ambiguity. It really scared me."
Shuming hummed, "The background of the guards is not simple, they rely on this to make a living, don't think of people too kindly. What do you and him say?"
Songyin never likes to hide anything from Ama, she always tells him what's on her mind.But after all, she was a girl, and she was a little awkward when it came to life-long events, so she said after a while: "It's just that he is very good, I like him a little bit."
Shu Ming looked back at her, "Have you thought about it?"
She accepted his token, so she should have already thought about it.She nodded, "I think he can entrust it. If the time is almost up, let Ama be the master. I want to marry him."
Shuming was a little dumbfounded, this girl has a vigorous personality, and she is unequivocal when it comes to marriage.He also thinks that Rong Shi is very good, otherwise he would not have used the matter of Jin Mo and Rong Xu as an introduction to tie up the marriage between that brother and the child below.But the situation is changing, and the past two years have been particularly turbulent. They may look calm on the surface, just like the female relatives at home, who never know the undercurrents and dangers in the court.But as an official in the palace, Song Yin should know the pros and cons better than them.
He sighed, "You're still young, you're only nineteen after your birthday, you're still young, Ama wants to keep you for two more years, so let's not talk about it."
Song Yin didn't expect her, Ama, to say that, and stared at him blankly for a moment.
With his hands behind his back, Shuming watched a flock of pigeons fly by in the sky, and said softly, "Rongshi is a man, he is quiet, but he is very responsible. This time Liuku is short of something, and he will untie it in his hands." Now, I have to say that he is busy and we are very busy, but I always feel that there is something strange inside, I am afraid it is not that simple. I have already quietly visited, and the things under Longzhaohuai were ambushed in advance, and I will let you dig. In other words, the whereabouts of this batch of things are still unknown, but all the stolen money has been recovered, so the emperor has nothing to say."
Song Yin's mind was spinning quickly, and she looked at her Ama anxiously, "You mean, Rong knows what's going on inside, and he made a scapegoat to excuse us?"
Shuming nodded slowly, "It's possible, and I understand it, this time the thief is very big, I'm afraid no one will dare to take him down. Rong can see everything in his eyes, he knows it well, so he dares to do this deal with it, and blocked the emperor's mouth. But have you ever thought about it, there will be a second time the first time, the higher-ups are very active, and there may be another day. We are slaves, will we be able to save our lives by then? , all in one word.”
Song Yin was very confused, stood there in a daze, "That Rongshi..."
Shuming waved his hand, "Let's not talk about the truth, let's talk about Prince Yu. After all, he is the master of our serious banner. I was originally facing the emperor. I don't want to listen to Liu Ye's order unless it is absolutely necessary. But you Look at what happened this time, isn't it chilling? Today's Long Live Lord is a trapped beast. He wants to remove obstacles with red eyes, but Liu Ye has soldiers in his hands, and the Queen Mother is still alive, so he can't easily move Liu Ye. We people Well, he is as small as a powder, and he blows away and he blows away. If you want to ask me what I mean now, I would rather the sixth master ascend to the top than the ruin of the Tong family's foundation in the hands of this Long Live Lord."
Song Yin felt terrified, "Ama means..."
"There are two ways right now, one way, to surrender to the sixth master. What should I surrender? There is a pregnant master in Jingqi Pavilion. If you donate her, the sixth master will naturally trust you; the second... just like last time Rongshi is just like what you said, find someone to enter the palace to serve the emperor. With this excuse, the emperor can carry our status. Once we leave the Xianghuang Banner, the emperor will have no worries about the future. Not to mention promoting you as a confidant, at least not Will make things difficult for you on purpose."
This is a difficult choice, but when it comes to this point, let's just muddle along, maybe at some point a house raid order will fall on the Tong family.However, Guo Guiren and the child in her womb are two lives. When she thinks of Xi Guiren in the Northeast No. [-] Institute, she blames herself so much that she can't sleep at night, and she won't be able to live again.As for sending people into the palace... who would want to bury their golden years to strengthen the foundation of the family?
She didn't know if Ama knew the inside story she had heard, and she felt that it was difficult to speak. After hesitating for a long time, she said, "I went back to Jingqi Pavilion, Guo Guiren said something to me, and I was surprised when I heard it..." She He made a gesture with difficulty, "The emperor is a little abnormal, he is a lucky concubine..."
Shuming coughed twice, raised his hand and said, "I know what you mean. If that's the case, I have to confess Master Guo. You have to go see the Sixth Prince and explain things to him clearly."
She hurriedly said no, "That's human life. If you want him to know, can Guo Guiren still live?"
Shuming looked at her sadly, "You, a woman's kindness is hard to achieve. Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger, do you know that? You are almost losing your own life, and you still have the time to care about others? Let me ask you , Is it two lives that matter, or our family's hundreds of lives? Girl, you are too young and have little experience. I don't want you to kill and make decisions like an old monster. But you can't be confused at this time I also thought about it, it’s really bad to hurt people, or else I’d better discuss it with the old lady and send him into the palace! There have been many emperors who raised prostitutes throughout the ages, so it’s really no big deal for the old man to do this. She is living well, and I haven't seen her missing a piece of meat."
Song Yin fell silent. At present, it seems that the price that needs to be paid is the least, but although it is not life-threatening, it will affect a woman's life for a lifetime.She bowed her head and thought for a long time, "If no one agrees, then I will go! If you choose a suitable person to assist the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the future of the Tong family is much more important to me than myself."
Of course Shuming refused, "You go? What if you go to my place? What about Rongshi? You don't want it anymore? No, don't think about it. I know you can afford it for your family, but you can't go back for business. Ben'er, what are you planning? Don't think about it, I'll go back to the old lady and listen to her instructions."
Song Yinchi stepped down, and Ama had already gone to the upper room.
The old lady had just eaten rose marinade and some milk skin, and was belching in the center of the earth to digest her food. When the elder said that she would choose someone to enter the palace, she immediately knew that it was going to be difficult.She stopped, and the girl next to her came to help her, but she waved her away.I moved back to sit on the Luohan couch, frowned and began to think carefully, "Tong Jia has not sent anyone to the palace for more than 60 years. There was a noble concubine in my ancestors. It was too long ago, and I broke up with the emperor's family long ago. No. It’s really not good for a family like ours without this layer of protection. If you say you want to pick someone, then pick someone. Call all the fourteen to eighteen people in each house and ask them what they think.”
The old lady's order was passed on, and soon the ladies from all the prefectures were gathered together.The wives were very surprised, "Why do you want to enter the palace all of a sudden?"
The old lady lowered her eyes and smoked her orchid cigarettes, pondered for a while before saying: "Working for the emperor, all you have to do is work hard? You haven't heard the saying that it's not as good as whispering by the pillow? The wall is so high, The foundation also needs to be dug deep, or it will collapse if there is a gust of wind. The family needs to be strong and stable, right now we have to rely on the aunts and grandmas. I counted, there are eight people who don’t have a family, and you say it yourself, who wants to enter the palace and become a concubine? "
Several girls are Song Yin's peers, standing side by side, all of them have glamorous looks.Hearing what the old lady said, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one spoke.
The old lady knocked on the cigarette pot, "Don't be ashamed, whoever goes there will be the hero of the Tong family. I will tell you, life in the palace is lonely, if you don't have a holy family, you won't see the emperor once in a few years. But if you get holy Family, if you take the heart of the Long Live Lord, it will be different, and you will live like an ordinary couple, husband and wife sing along."
This is obviously a lie, the youngest girl asked in a daze: "The old lady has been in the palace? Have you seen the emperor and which concubine have been friends for a lifetime?"
The old lady was almost choking, and said calmly, "Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you seen pigs run away? Of course, the emperor treats a person sincerely. The former founding emperor even hunger strike himself for the sake of women. This is a real thing. People, look at fate, when fate comes, even if he is the emperor, he is still your man."
The old lady was confused, and the children were confused.Finally, I asked: "Who is willing to go? Don't look at Er Nie's face. If you are willing, be straightforward. The Tong family has no sticky people." Everyone still didn't move, because the future was uncertain and they didn't dare to take risks.
Song Yin sighed, rich clothes and fine food were provided, and no one cares about the splendor and wealth in the palace.She was a little disappointed, but also a little thankful, because no one was willing, so she just thought of other ways.
Unexpectedly, a person stepped forward and said very boldly: "I will go."
Song Yin looked up and saw that it was Rang Yu.She was shocked in her heart, she didn't know which muscle of this idiot was wrong, did she plan to hide for a while because she was dissatisfied with the Shang family's marriage?
The eldest lady also panicked, "Are you obsessed with taking a nap? Did you understand what the old lady said?"
Rang Yu's expression was firm, "I understand, fill the harem, and serve as the emperor's concubine. I'm not sleepy, I really want to go. Jin Mo is gone, Song Yin is working with Ama, Tong Qing is still young It's a matter, now that the family has encountered Kan'er, I will do my part. Don't say that I want to be a concubine when you turn around. If some of you are willing to go, it's nothing to do with me. Has anyone changed their mind?" She glanced over and found that Everyone lowered their heads, and she snorted, "Look, none of them are willing, the Tong family is sprawled in mud, and they all shrank their necks to let the tall ones push them up. I'm from the long house, and I'm not as pushy as you are, so I'll go. "
She said it so righteously, but she was actually angry, because the old lady insisted on marrying her to that hornet, and she couldn't stand it after making trouble twice. Now that she has this opportunity, no matter what, the emperor is better than the hornet.Song Yin understands her feelings, when Jin Mo was there before, she was not valued as much as Rang Yu.The old lady is a relatively authoritarian person. She has always had the final say in the family. As long as she thinks it is good, your opinions are not important.So Rang Yu must be desperate, he would rather enter the palace than let the old lady arrange his life.But she didn't know that she fell from a vat into a well, and it was impossible to climb out after entering the palace.
Songyin was very sad, she looked at Ama, Ama sighed with drooping corners of her mouth.
Can't say anything, is it possible for other people's children to enter the palace, but your child is not allowed to enter the palace?Then you still dig a hole for others to jump?Shuming was suffering, and nodded in frustration, "It's settled now, it won't hurt to let Yu enter the palace, Er Niu and I are here, old lady don't worry."
The long house lost another member, and the eldest wife couldn't help it, so she turned around and wiped away her tears.All the houses are broken up, as far as the old lady is concerned, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and she must give up a granddaughter, so although she can't bear it, she won't be sad.
The next step is to discuss the process of entering the palace, because the time for the draft has passed, and there is no legitimate reason for not being able to enter the gate.Song Yin went to discuss with Hui Zhu'er and got a name from her. The invitation sign only said that she was visiting her, so she just entered Shunzhen gate with a good name.Concubine Hui is a person with no enterprising spirit. She has a princess and a position, and she is as happy as a fairy, and she doesn't care about the emperor.According to her words, "there are too many women in the palace, what's the difference between a hundred robbing and a hundred and one robbing? Let Sanyu come in, so we can have a companion."
Songyin agreed and asked Rangyu to bring her a basket of seasonal fresh food. New meal is indeed New meal, and everything will be fine with food.Using the excuse of the princess thinking about Huang Ama, someone went to invite the emperor.When the emperor came, the princess had already fallen asleep, so she escaped and let Tong Shuntang out.
She came to Songyin and reported the progress to her, "I think Lord Long Live is a little interested in Sanyu, so you go home and wait for the order!" Then she sighed, "You guys are really unreliable. They are in my house. It’s good to look at others and ignore my face. Fortunately, I have Ni’er, our mother and I depend on each other, who cares about him.”
Song Yin still felt ashamed of her, "Are you angry that I stuffed my girl in?"
She peeled the lychee and said angrily, "I have had a holy family, that's enough, I can't occupy another family by myself for a lifetime. There is no long-lasting love in the palace, they are all fresh. Today I see you very well, and tomorrow I think her Not bad, just come here in rotation like this. If I want to stare at him, I will be pissed off. Besides, he is not mine. If he gives me a child, my Nier is mine. You have to look away when you enter the palace. Talk to Sanyu, don't fall into it, love the emperor?" She sneered, "Those who love the emperor are heartless."
Only then did Songyin realize that this person lives a transparent life and doesn't expect things that don't belong to her, so she doesn't have so many worries.Probably the last time she was going to give birth, it was the time she had thought the most and most utilitarianly.Now that the matter is over, knowing that she is not destined to be the queen mother, three full meals and one drink have become her remaining goals in life.
Let Emperor Yuhe meet once, Song Yin was worried about her grievances, and asked her at night, but she hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "A very handsome man, he is prettier than Hornet."
Girls like to make judgments based on beauty and ugliness, she can't be blamed for this, Song Yin is also like this.But she had revealed the emperor's hobbies to her before, so she couldn't go into details, but told her that the emperor liked men.Rang Yu was shocked after hearing this, but still decided to enter the palace, and she didn't seem disappointed when they met this time.After all, the emperor's external conditions are very good, young, dignified, and in charge of thousands of miles.Rang Yu is a little girl who has never seen the world, and after a few words with people, she starts to miss her day and night.She didn't make a decree for two days, and she talked about it for two days, fidgeting and muttering, is it because she is not beautiful enough, and Long Live God doesn't like it?Or was it because I didn't behave well at that time, and my talk made Long live God dislike me, so she felt good just by herself, and she didn't take it to heart at all?
Song Yin began to worry about her, "There are too many women in the palace, all of them are beauties, you have to go in and keep watch. I thought it would be better if you didn't come for the order. I wish this hadn't happened."
Rang Yu said that would not work, "Can't the Tong family's foundation be consolidated? At first I was for the sake of the family, and I felt that I would follow everyone. But then I stopped. When I met someone, I thought it was really good. He was soft-spoken and I thought he was nice. .”
Song Yin was a little dazed, talking softly, isn't that Lu Run?She has been in the palace for almost three years, and every time she sees the emperor, she is afraid that he will suddenly get angry and want her head.He really didn't have a good face towards her, and this time when he met Rang Yu, he could speak kindly, so it seems that it will be a matter of time before he makes an order.
Sure enough, Sheng Jia Xun Xingxing sent a message to the Ministry of Internal Affairs after his return, because he was only promoted to a permanent residence, and there were no complicated words.The eunuch went to Tong's mansion to send an order, and the whole family kowtowed to thank them, and then put Rang Yuyi in a sedan chair dressed up, and just entered the palace.
The wife cried so hard that one died and the other entered the palace, which meant that two of them disappeared.She didn't dare to complain, didn't dare to howl, she tucked her mouth and murmured, "I was worrying for nothing, and it's all gone in the end."
The old lady glanced at her with a straight face, "Be careful with your mouth! Let Yu enter the palace to serve the emperor, you have a bright face like Ernie. When you become a nobleman or a concubine in the future, you can pass the card to enter the palace." Look at her, how can I put it like it was thrown away for nothing."
The wife hurriedly stopped talking, chased out the door, and watched the small sedan chair go away, crying so hard that she couldn't breathe, and was finally carried back to the bedroom.
Songyin naturally needs to take care of her sister when she enters the palace.After meeting the queen and concubine Hui, Niu Yidun also had a relationship with Rang Yu a few times because of beating Xiao Xiao and Rang Yu, so Yin Qing kept her in the Yonghe Palace.It's hard to be a master in other people's palaces.At any rate, they were old acquaintances, and with her taking care of them, Yu could feel a little easier.
The strange thing is that the emperor didn't call for luck for several days, and Song Yin was also worried, afraid that the respect room would come to report the turn over, and that girl would suffer.But when the time comes, she can't take care of her, so she can only ask for her own blessing.
