    I have a little secret in my heart that I won¡¯t tell anyone.  [After reading the latest chapter of this book, I feel that I really like Rong Shi. I may have been deceived by his beauty at first. After all, the older a man is, the more ugly he becomes. Pick someone with a better foundation and that will be the end of the world.  Middle-aged, with dull skin and an out-of-shape figure, at least his face is there, so there is nothing wrong with him.  The second is his personality, which is optimistic, gentle, upright, and a little smart. He is really a good candidate for living at home.

    If they want to develop, there will be no obstacles at home. Both her grandma and Enie like him.  On their side, the old lady and the madam also treated her with no false politeness.  The two families have similar family backgrounds. Although they are only half-brothers, they are much closer than ordinary neighbors. It is natural for them to really get along.  It's a pity that there is a dispute between them that can't be resolved for a while. It can't be said that each has his own master, that's the general meaning anyway.  Rong Shi was loyal to the emperor. His father had been the chief master of the study, and the emperor regarded him as his mentor. This alone would make it impossible for him to bow to Prince Yu.  As for my own family, I am surrounded by a yellow flag and want to be loyal to the emperor, but I have no choice but to be suppressed by the flag owner, and I don't even dare to breathe.  If the two of them become a couple and the fight becomes too fierce, she will be worried. Not to mention whether Prince Yu can win over Rong Shi, if the emperor also becomes suspicious of him, he will be tricked to death.

    So I can like him secretly, but generally speaking, it¡¯s better not to bring him down.  If one of the couple is in charge of the palace guards and the other is in charge of the royal property, once these two people are united, the entire Forbidden City will become their family. Regardless of whether the emperor agrees or not, the ministers will look down upon it.

    She thought very carefully, but Rong Shi didn't seem to be worried. He made no secret of his wishes, jumping up and down to express "Sister, you come with me" and "Sister, come with me", so directly,  It made her feel very embarrassed.  She had refused many times, and if he brought it up again, she would probably be too embarrassed to say no.  But what to do? The positions in the Tong family are hereditary. If she gives up, the whole family will be in trouble. She, Amma, will not be able to train a successor.  As for Rong Shi, giving up is unrealistic.  He is the most trusted person by the emperor. Now Prince Yu is full of wings and is eyeing him. If he changes people at will, it will be like putting a guillotine on the dragon bed, and he will face the danger of being forced into the palace at any time.

    No one can put down their hands, and they can only stand still for now.  Songyin is very open-minded. People will encounter different scenery in this life. If you like it, stop and look at it, and you don't have to keep it as your own.  If you continue on the road, you may not encounter someone as good as you, but you may find someone more suitable.  Thinking about it many years later, I said that I once loved this person, and he is doing well now, and so am I. This is also very satisfying.

    ??????????????????? However, no matter how hard you think about it, it may not develop according to your ideas in many cases.  She is always distracted now. She doesn't think so, but people around her see it really well.

    ¡°Rang Yu sleeps in the same room with her these days, and I don¡¯t know what she is afraid of. She always says that she hears mice gnawing at the beams in the middle of the night, so she wants to stay with her to keep her company.  Fortunately, the kang was quite big and the space covered with mats was spacious. The two of them were wearing plain crepe clothes and covered with thin blankets. Yu leaned sideways with her head propped up and kept mumbling: " She said she wouldn't force me, but in fact it was agreed upon.  , what are you asking me for? Just push me out"

    She was talking about her marriage, Songyin only listened to the beginning, and then absent-mindedly.  Rang Yu has called her several times, but she is like a clay and wood sculpture, completely unresponsive.  In the end, the person who was eager to talk got annoyed, sat up and patted her hard on the arm, "That's how you treat me as a sister. After telling you so much, you are just being careless with me."

    The lights were turned off in the room, because the moonlight was so beautiful, shining in through the water chestnut window, making Yu's face turn blue.  Songyin was startled, stroking her arm and said, "What are you doing, it's so late at night! Don't get angry, say what you have to say, and lie down quickly."

    Rang Yu reluctantly fell back on the pillow, as if she owed her money, and asked stiffly: "What do you think I should do?"

    Songyin only heard a general idea, that is, the marriage between Shang's family in Hutong, which she also mentioned last time.  She thought for a moment and said, "What should I do? Don't you think the man looks like a wasp? If you don't want to, just tell the old lady that you despise him and plan to wait for another two years."

    Rang Yu muttered and complained: "Do you think I am you? It's strange that the old lady can listen to my words! She also said that day that the neighbors in the street beat people in front of their doors every day. If they offend someone, they will look back and see the Tong family.  Splashing water outside will not look good on your face.¡±

    Are you going to have to sacrifice your daughter just because of this?  In fact, the old lady liked the uncle of the Shang family, so she said this deliberately when she saw that Rang Yu was disobedient.  /[Please go here to read the latest chapter of this book] Songyin is not familiar with the Shang family. Although they are officials in the same dynasty, she is in the palace and the Shang family is away from home. They have basically no interaction with each other and have no idea about their good or bad character.  (s) But she feels that she should make her own decision about her marriage and live her own life, not someone else living it for you.It's just unsatisfactory, and it will be awkward for the rest of your life.

    "Anyway, I haven't decided yet. I'll find a way to find out for you tomorrow." She scratched her scalp, "But when you look at people, you can't just look at their appearance, you have to look at their heart"

    "What about you and Rongsil? Don't you just fancy his good looks?"

    With Yu Lengbuding¡¯s words, Songyin was pushed back to her grandma¡¯s house.  She choked for a long time and couldn't reply.  After a while, he tentatively asked her, "Have you seen it all?"

    Rang Yu sneered, "I'm not blind! Look at your stupid look, why didn't you just make eye contact with someone?"

    She held her face in horror, "Did the old lady see it too? Where's Enie?"

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbmbmb

    How could this be? She touched her facial features, and they were all in their original positions.  It seemed that she couldn't hold her anger anymore. This was not good. She had to be careful.  So he turned around and said vaguely: "Don't try to trick me, I won't be fooled."

    Rang Yu chuckled, "I didn't reveal my secret just now."

    She lifted up the blanket and covered her head, "I fell asleep and was talking in my sleep." She ignored her and fell asleep.

    Yin Zheng was about to get up the next day. When the palace door opened at Mao Shi, she wanted to go into the Ministry of Internal Affairs to order Mao.  In a large yamen, there are many and complicated matters every day, and they must be arranged early in the morning.  The palaces are about to send out their monthly routines. There are fan fans from Huguang Palace. It¡¯s time to send them to the little masters. Every bit and piece is all important.

    Two days ago, when Guangchu Secretary took stock, a large number of people in the duty room were closing accounts, and the beads on the abacus were making random sounds.  She glanced inside, and her mother didn't even raise her head. This kind of thing basically started by one person and had to be finished, and no one else could get involved.  She quit, arranged everything on her schedule, and by the time she was free, the sun had already reached her head.

    It¡¯s such a sunny day. It was rainy yesterday, but today it¡¯s so hot that it¡¯s hard to breathe.  As soon as she sat down, Su La ran in from outside and said that ice had arrived from Guanfang Yamen.

    Songyin hurriedly welcomed them out. The Defense Department was also a branch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They were responsible for palace maintenance, oil decoration, cleaning the courtyard, using ice in summer, water after autumn, and burning vats in winter.  There were many people in the palace, and the use of ice in Sanfu was very powerful. The eunuchs in the customs and defense department had to go back and forth between the ice cellar, the harem and the palace yamen many times a day.  As soon as the summer solstice arrives, everyone becomes happy when they see the eunuch wearing a cotton hat.  These people are the most popular in this season. It is extremely hot. Eating iced watermelon or sour plum soup is the most comfortable enjoyment for people like them who have to dress neatly all year round.

    The ice cubes are placed in a large wooden box with compartments made of tin, which can basically last for a day.  Songyin knocked a piece of it and put it into the cup. Then she suddenly remembered and asked, "Did the guard send it to you?"

    The eunuch said that he would wait for the next batch, "There are still two cars left for the Mongolian Official School and the Imperial Book Office."

    She couldn't say it, "Give it to the guards first. Those guards are working outside in the bright sun. How can they do it without ice? Give them a car first, and then go back to the Imperial Secretariat."

    She is the boss, and she will give it to whomever she says will be given first. The eunuch Nono agreed and went to do it immediately.

    She entered the check-in room and brought water to her Ama. Shuming stared at the account book and took a sip. A piece of ice went into his mouth, and he chewed it.  Then Wu Mei sighed and said, "No, something is going to go wrong."

    Songyin¡¯s heart tightened, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Shu Ming pointed to the account book and said, "I spent the whole night doing business yesterday and something came up short."

    "This is no joke. It's a big deal if Guangzhou Secretary can't close the accounts. The emperor even cares about the expenses for repairing lamps. There is real money and silver, so what if it's missing even a little bit?"

    She was a little panicked, "What's missing?"

    "Four hundred and eighty taels of gold, one thousand two hundred taels of silver. There are also emeralds, cat's eyes, and tourmalines why are they so old?" Shuming circled in the center of the earth, and Xu Xu murmured, "A dozen or so people.  , I checked seven or eight times, but I can¡¯t find out what¡¯s going on.¡±

    "Have you checked the files in the Jingshi Room? There are so many missing, and most likely the reward is not recorded. The Six Storehouses are the emperor's treasury, and you have to search when you come in and out. No one can open the key. Who dares to pass things out?  ?" She turned around and called someone, "I would like to invite Manager Fang Cai to come. If you have anything important to ask him."

    Su La hurriedly took the order to pass on the people. Shu Ming turned pale with anxiety and said, "If the file is really missed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out. Don't look at Ming Ming who is polite on the surface, but I don't know how he arranged it behind the scenes! As a human being.  There will always be an oversight, and someone will hate you if you are not careful, and they will step on you every time you encounter obstacles."

    In fact, it is almost impossible to miss a file. Every timeWhen the old man got a reward, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs followed behind him with their account books. Not to mention valuable things, even a person with a needle and thread had to record them meticulously.  There is nothing missing now, one breath is so short, and the day of memorial is just around the corner, how can the emperor explain it?

    Songyin broke out in a sweat. This was not a small amount. Even if the money could be paid privately, how could those jade and gemstones be exactly the same?

    Now we have no choice but to recalculate.  She sat down in front of the case, closed all the account books, and added them up one by two from the beginning.  Shu Ming was still melancholy on the side, "It's no use, I've forgotten it eight hundred times."

    She said nothing, and plucked the beads on her abacus very quickly, pointing outwards and gesturing for his mother to go out.

    Shuming walked out of the check-in room with a slumped head and stood in the hot sun for a while. He remembered that he had to check the edict file.  The emperor's rewards are not only given to the masters of the palace, but also to ministers and family members.  Last time Lafayette Qianqiu rewarded a lot of things, maybe there was something wrong there.

    Cai He came very quickly and called Qianer when he came, "Sir, are you looking for me?"

    Shuming took a look at the duty room and took the person to the front office.

    Songyin is sweating it out here. There are six treasury accounts in total. Last month¡¯s calculations are correct, so after deducting this month¡¯s expenses, the rest should match the treasury balance.  She was always fast and accurate in calculating accounts, and she almost did it in one go. But this time, the final result was just as her mother said, a lot of things were missing.

    She closed the book, her heart pounding. What went wrong?  If there is something wrong in the account, we have to re-take inventory.  But asking for the key to Guang Chusi is a big deal, and it will inevitably alarm the Long Live Lord. If this happens, I am afraid that I will be blamed, and if I can't do the job, I won't be able to face the salary!  She was so anxious that she calmed down and went out to find her Ama and asked Cai He if he had any clues. Her Ama shook her head and said, "He moved all the records here and compared them twice. They are absolutely correct."

    "Then what should we do?" She was about to cry. "It seems that we can only ask for the key to be reset, but if we enter the six warehouses, we need to go to war. We have to go to the Ministry of Revenue and the Military Aircraft Department, and we have to report to the emperor Amma, this matter  My son has never been exposed before. If you tell me, it will make you look bad. Have you thought about it?"

    Shu Ming sighed with difficulty, "My eyelids jumped yesterday"

    It¡¯s a clich¨¦ to hear him say that his eyelids are twitching every now and then, so it¡¯s not unusual.  Even if you have the ability to predict misfortunes and blessings, things like this cannot be avoided. Now that it has happened, it is useless to just lament, you must actually solve it.  She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go to the emperor and give you a reply. It's you who took care of the inventory that day. There are so many people present, so it's hard to shirk it. You can say that I'm responsible for the account. I can't agree on it, so I can only ask for it."  The key will be redistributed. If Long live the Lord is to blame, I will bear the responsibility. I can be forgiven for making mistakes when I am young, but you are too old to make mistakes. "

    ¡°Actually, what she meant was that she was afraid that Ama would make people laugh if she was not guaranteed to have a good night, but she was kind enough not to point that out.  Shu Ming glanced at her for a moment, "Aren't you a member of the Tong family? If something goes wrong, it's not because the Tong family is shameless."

    "That's different. I've been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for two years, and my skills are relatively shallow. As for you, it's been more than thirty years, and I've done more than three hundred rounds of inventory, and I've never made a mistake. It's the same this time, I'm here to take the blame.  Save your reputation.¡±

    She is righteous and upright, and her description is full of mixed feelings.  Touching the back of his neck, he muttered to himself that he had loosened his grip recently and ignored everything, even forgetting his old profession.  Something happened now, and my daughter had to step in, and I was so embarrassed!

    "Doesn't your future matter?" He shook his head, "You will take over my hand in the future, but I will drag you down and you will not be able to convince everyone."

    Songyin said, "You haven't reached the age of becoming an official yet. I'm under your control. Are you afraid that you won't support me?" She looked outside and saw that the sun was already setting in the west. She made up her mind, "I will be in charge tomorrow morning."  I'll tell you this, but I'm afraid it won't be too late to tell you later. I'll go to the Yangxin Hall right away, and you can go with me."

    This child is courageous and has a plan. Shu Ming was assigned by her and can only obey orders.

    When she arrived in front of the emperor, she took the responsibility on herself as agreed in advance, and said: "Everything in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is now handled by the servants. The loss of these must be caused by the servants neglecting to check. Please forgive me.  .¡±

    The emperor looked at her in disbelief, "The Sixth Treasury of the Guangchu Division is the top priority. There has been no mistakes in these years, but something like this happened this time. The Tong family has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for more than eighty years.  Has Guan Yue gone back? If it is really difficult for him to do the job, it would be better to let him go as early as possible. Why should he stay in this position and cause trouble for me all day long?"

    There was no thunder to wrath, but the words were like the tip of a knife, erasing all the achievements of their father and daughter.  Songyin clasped the cracks between the bricks and turned to look at her Amma. He sweated profusely and wet the bricks in front of him. He said tremblingly: "All the blame lies with the slave. The slave has betrayed the emperor's favor and humiliated the ancestors. The slave is guilty of death. The emperor wants it."  atThe slave has nothing to say, but this time the amount is huge. Even if the slave is to die, he must find out everything before he dies before he dares to embark on the road to hell.  I beg the Master to be merciful, and I beg the Master to fulfill me.  "

    Songyin knew that it was useless to talk more. The emperor seemed to be thinking of replacing him.  Also, why bother trying to win over the Tong family? Wouldn't it be a hundred times better to find a capable person to replace him in Zhenghuangqi than to let someone else's servant be the leader?  Perhaps this incident was the reason, and now she began to doubt whether these shortcomings really existed.  If he was just afraid of being held responsible for disobeying the Tai/Ancestor's orders, then this emperor would be too unbearable.

    But she couldn¡¯t say that it was better not to be smart in this situation.  The emperor did not press forward step by step. He turned around and ordered Lu Run to get the key, "You meet with the inspector of the bodyguard department." He pointed at Songyin and said, "Take this fool with you and tell her to take a good look at her. She is said to be young.  She should be allowed to make mistakes, but if she makes mistakes again and again, how many weird things will happen if the Ministry of Internal Affairs is handed over to her? I have said long ago that women are not suitable to be officials, and I have indeed said it." He waved.  Waving his hands, "It's really annoying, don't stay here, get down!"

    The father and daughter hurriedly kowtowed, then stood up and retreated.  They looked at each other outside the palace, unable to leave, and had to wait.  After a while, Lu Run came out of the hall and looked at Song Yin, his eyes still warm and without the slightest hint of harshness.

    It was this look that made her want to cry.  She choked and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Lu."

    He gently touched the corner of his mouth and said, "No polite words. There are so many things going on in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is inevitable that something will go wrong. My master is impatient. Don't take it to heart, Mr. Tong."

    He can smooth things over for the emperor, which seems to be an unusual relationship.  While Songyin felt sad about what had just happened, he began to have wild thoughts again. Sure enough, it was a woman. Women were always full of enthusiasm for such secrets.

    She sniffed and said, "Do you think Long Live Lord will depose me?"

    Lu Run folded his hands and said: "I dare not presume on the holy will, but Lord Tong, don't worry, the emperor is a wise king. He may hate iron but not steel, but he will not make a big fuss about this matter."

    She breathed a sigh of relief and made a fuss, saying this thoroughly.  But it was not easy for him to guess what was in her heart.  Such a person is quiet and powerful, even vaguely scary.  You should be more cautious in front of him in the future.

    Last time Panku used a lot of people, and this time it was even worse.  There are a lot of officials and guards, asking for keys and breaking the seal is very cumbersome.  After working for a long time, the door of the warehouse finally opened. It was dark inside, and the gold, silver and jewelry had no warmth, but had an eerie air.  Songyin didn't like this cold feeling. No matter how dizzy he was, it was always hard to get rid of the smell of copper.

    Since the inventory check is not true, we have to be extra careful this time. Someone weighs each ingot with a handful, and the inspection is so detailed that the ingot is barely broken.  Songyin watched from the sidelines, but did not hold out much hope for this re-investigation. He seemed to have a premonition that he would not be able to recover.  However, we have already started, and there must be a result no matter what.  It's just that it will take a long time, and I won't be able to finish it until dawn.

    When she was dejected, she heard footsteps coming from outside. When she turned around, she saw a man in a python suit coming to the door. It was Rong Shi.  He had a solemn expression on his face, glanced at Lu Run, and asked, "What do you want, Master Long Live?"

    Lu Run frowned, "What can you think of? We won't know the result until the inventory is completed."

    He walked up to her and looked at her expression carefully, "Have you cried?"

    Songyin said no, "What's there to cry about? Crying doesn't do anything and can't solve the problem."

    He looked around, "There's so much gold, I'm almost sick of it." He gestured with the knife outside, always talking to her in a negotiating tone, "Let's sit outside for a while! Here are you, Ama, and Lu  Where is Run, let them keep an eye on it, let¡¯s go out and take a breather, okay?¡±

    She said with a sad face: "I'm worried to death. I can't go anywhere. It's such a big hole. If it can't be repaired, the emperor will have to cut me open."

    "That's my execution. I'll be gentle with my hands and feet. It won't hurt." He changed his appearance with a smile. The sky fell down to cover him. In his eyes, there was no obstacle that he couldn't overcome.

    When Songyin saw him, she was not as irritable as before. He could refresh her mind and was her Bezoar Qingxin Pill.  She slumped her shoulders and sighed, turned to Lu Run and said, "It's too much trouble for you. I'll come in later."

    Lu Run nodded and went inside to see what people call gold
