first class maid

Chapter 21 The tip of the iceberg (1)
Zhuang Dianzhi with a restless expression and Xun Zhen with a calm face walked through the group of court ladies who didn't know the truth, and soon saw Winnie helping Xu You sit on the only high chair in the hall, and all four divisions immediately felt complacent. Lead the maids in their respective jurisdictions to stand up and wait for the ruling of the supreme superior.

Xu You took a sip of tea to calm down, and then briefly explained what happened in Shuming Palace just now, "If it wasn't for Xunnu Shi's quick response this time, the Shanggong Bureau might be blamed, Zhuang Dian Zhi is unforgivable this time."

"Sir Shanggong, all his subordinates are not strict in discipline. As Zhuang Dianzhi's boss, his subordinates are also duty-bound." Xie Sizhi came out with a face full of self-blame.

Xu You glanced at the remorse on Xie Sizhi's face, and she stood up immediately to take the blame. It was indeed beyond reproach. The corner of her mouth covered by the tea bowl smiled inexplicably. When the tea bowl was put down, she had already returned to normal. "Xie Sizhi doesn't need to take this matter into his own hands. If you explain what you should do, that's Zhuang Dianzhi's job."

"Thank you, Mr. Shanggong, for your understanding." Xie Sizhi bowed down gratefully. "However, this matter should be rewarded with a contribution to Xunnu Shiji."

Zhuang Dianzhi looked at Dagong Xie Sizhi's selfless face with a pale face. Although she only suspected that Lu Rong was careless when the incident happened, thinking about it afterwards, she broke out in a cold sweat. Shen, take a step back to hope that the sea and the sky will be brighter. Thinking of this, she calmed down a lot, knelt down and said: "Master Shanggong, this subordinate is willing to be punished."

"Okay, it's a good thing for you to have this awareness." Xu You stood up and said, "From today onwards, Zhuang Dianzhi will be demoted two grades in a row to be a female historian, and he will have to go to Situ Shang Palace to receive the punishment, so let's forget about it." .”

"Yes, Mr. Shanggong." The degraded Zhuang Dianzhi could only look grateful. After years of hard work, he could only sigh that his methods were not as good as others.

The Shanggong Bureau was demoted because of the Zhuang Dian system, and everyone's eyes widened and they began to gear up. Winnie was the first person to show joy. She was in charge, and the Dian system position was vacant. Could it be her?He glanced at the other maid who was also at the palm level, and there was also a touch of enthusiasm in the eyes of the other party.

Zhuang Nushi was punished to be a heavy court lady for three months. When she went back to her house to pack her things, it was really a deserted tea. None of the little palace maids who had fawned on her in the past disappeared. Only she took a desolate look at the room I have lived in the house for several years, and I am quite nostalgic. I lightly close the door and prepare to turn around to leave, but I see Xun Zhen standing behind him, "Master Dian Zhi."

The person who saw her off was actually Xun Zhen. Tears welled up in the eyes of Zhuang Nushi, and she held Xun Zhen's hand guiltily, "You don't hate me? When I was in Shuming Palace, I clearly wanted to sacrifice you to protect myself."

Zhuang Dianzhi's relegation touched Xun Zhen a lot. She didn't have the right to speak in the hall. It turns out that honor and disgrace are only in the line.

"Xun Zhen is not a sage, and he can't do it without complaining about Master Dian Zhi, but Xun Zhen remembers that Master Dian Zhi taught Xun Zhen for the past seven years, and Xun Zhen will keep this kindness in mind." Xun Zhen Sincerely said, since you have escaped from that desperate situation, it is not too wise to care about Zhuang Dianzhi's actions. Enemies should be resolved rather than tied, and it is not a gentleman's action to beat a dog in the water.

Zhuang Nvshi didn't expect her to be so generous, and she felt even more guilty, "I'm sorry for you, Xun Zhen, stop calling you Mr. Dianzhi, if you don't mind, just call Aunt Zhuang." According to her age, she She is indeed from Aunt Xunzhen's generation, "You are a smart girl, and you will have a much wider path than me in the future." This kind of mind alone is not something ordinary people can possess.

"Aunt Zhuang." Xun Zhen called out kindly.

Xun Zhen has been sending Zhuang Nvshi away. Before leaving, Zhuang Nvshi looked around and saw that there were no people from the Shanggong Bureau, and then said in a low voice: "Xun Zhen, I can't give you much in return, I can only give you Just a few words, don't underestimate anyone, or you won't even have a chance to stand up."

"What does this mean?"

"Girl, do you really think that this matter is what it looks like?" Zhuang Nushi suddenly had a resentment in her eyes, "Of course my negligence and pride are even worse."

When Xun Zhen heard her hateful words, he suddenly shivered. In the scorching summer, he felt that his dry clothes were getting wet again. Looking back at the Shanggong Bureau, he felt that in the summer There was a cold light inside.

On the second floor in the distance, someone also watched Zhuang Dianzhi go out.

"Sir Shanggong, this matter is quite strange, should we let it go like this?" The maid at the divisional level, who was slightly older than Xu You, frowned.

Xu You turned his gaze to the fleeting figure behind the red pillar, and said with a sneer, "Is there a better way? If the investigation continues, the Shanggong Bureau may be turned upside down, and everyone will be unable to escape .”

"It's a pity for Zhuang Cui'e. Her embroidery skills are no worse than others, but her ambition is written on her face, which is why she was plotted against. I'm afraid that the Shanggong Bureau will have to do something again for the vacant quota. There's a fight."

Xu You looked up at the sky and remained silent. As long as there are people, there will be fights. This is an eternal law.

At night, when Lu Rong came back, she heard what happened during the day, and said anxiously: "Zhener, why is it so dangerous? In that case, why are you worrying about it for me?" Feeling anxious and moved, she hugged Xun Thank you so much.

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "Rongrong, in this palace, you are my closest person, how can I push you out to die? By the way, you haven't told me about your family yet?"

Lu Rong felt very warm in her heart. From this moment on, she, Lu Rong, could go up the sword mountain and down the oil pan for Xun Zhen, and her gratitude will always be remembered in her heart. She wiped away her tears and talked about family affairs.

Xun Zhen listened to her dancing and talking while doing embroidery, and inserted a sentence or two from time to time. When the atmosphere was just right, she suddenly said: "Rongrong, you can't be so careless next time, how can you even describe the embroidery pattern?" wrong?"

Lu Rong's mouth suddenly opened wide, "I don't have one. The picture Zhuang Dianzhi gave me is like that. I'll go back and find it for you." After speaking, she quickly got off the kang and went back to her room to look for it.

In a certain dark corner, Yu Ruyi looked at Mo Huayi nervously, "Hua Yi, I have already handed over this picture to you, so it won't involve me, right?"
