- Songyin followed him out of the warehouse and went to the door for a routine search. After the search was completed to show his innocence, he could go out. [800](s)[ ]
It was completely dark, and the lanterns hanging on iron hooks under the eaves were blown by the wind, making a creaking sound. Insects were everywhere, and there was a tidal wave of chirping in both ears. Guangchusi was near the Jinshui River, just beside the Changgeng Bridge. Since there was no place to rest, the two of them had nowhere to sit, so they went to the bridge and sat on the bridge.
Songyin was unhappy, holding her cheek and sighing. He didn't say anything, just stayed with her quietly. She felt a little embarrassed, turned around and asked, "Have you finished the inspection?"
He hummed, "This time, Emperor Panku asked the Guards Department to supervise the matter, and I have to be present. Why, something like this happened."
When she mentioned this, she became very anxious, "I can't tell, it's very strange. It should be counted every month, so there won't be any mistakes. This time, it was so short for no reason. Even if I moved out, I would have to go back and forth twice." Who has such courage?"
He comforted her, "Don't worry, wait until everything is over. Maybe there is something missing."
She raised her head with a frown on her face, looked at the stars in the sky and sighed, "The work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is too difficult, with so many things to do, and so many people, each with their own mind. My Amma said, unlike before, the late Emperor was here There were no setbacks at that time. He also supervised the salt work and repaired the bridge, and everything went smoothly. But in the past few years, things have been difficult to do, and things often go wrong. I don¡¯t know when they will end.¡±
He understood what she meant. It was because the people in power had changed that it made things difficult. He thought for a while and said: "There is actually no way out of the predicament. If the emperor decrees that the Tong family be promoted, and it is justified and accepted by Zhenghuang Banner, then Prince Yu will have no control over you."
She shook her head sadly, "We in the Ministry of Internal Affairs handle trivial matters. We don't seek merit, but seek no faults. We don't go out to fight, and the brothers in the family are just clergymen. They can't make achievements. In what name can we promote our status? ?¡±
He hesitated for a moment, "It doesn't necessarily all rely on military merit, but also marriage. If someone is willing to enter the palace, isn't it a matter of the emperor's word whether he will be promoted or not?"
Songyin remembered the emperor's eccentricities and was so frightened that her mind became clear. She waved her hands and said no, "I have already had a favor, and Tong Jia should not be selected or enter the palace. In this case, who is willing to get involved? After all, the palace Life is not that glamorous, and those of us who live in it all know it."
She thought of the benefactor again. She was also a wealthy person. She wanted to talk to her about anything that was on her mind, but she had never heard of such a thing. She didn't know if it was because she was too shy to mention it, or because she just wanted to talk to her. Guo Guiren was unlucky.
Rong Shi had no prejudice against the emperor. At least in his opinion, he was a wise and wise emperor who cared about people's livelihood and wanted to make progress. But the woman's view was different from his. She said she didn't like the imperial family, which was good. At least she wouldn't envy their power and succumb to Prince Yu.
He jumped up to the railing of the bridge, his legs dangling dangling, and said casually: "This idea is only yours. How do you know that others don't have the heart to be a queen? It's such an honor to have a noble concubine in the family. . Besides, the emperor lacks such an opportunity. Give him a reason to commend Tong Jia, and you can be pulled out of Prince Yu's hands."
She understands what he said, but who will be sacrificed? Can the love of flesh and blood push hands and feet into a pit of fire? She still shook her head, "I don't want to think about it."
"What should we do about the deficit there?" he said. "Even if we can get through it this time, what about next time?"
She lowered her eyes, "If it doesn't work, I can only fill it in. You have to get through the difficulties."
He couldn't help but laugh, "No wonder people say that the Tong family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has gold and silver. It seems to be true. Otherwise, how could you have such an idea?"
Songyin glared at him resentfully, "I'm at my wits end, can't you say something to make me happy?"
It is true that the Tong family is rich. Not only the Tong family, but also anyone who has anything to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a strong family background. It's quite embarrassing to say this kind of thing, but a lot of money flows in and out of hands every day, and it's hard to avoid being immersed in it. Who doesn¡¯t know how to make money from home? Everything is secondary, building a good home, providing food and drink for the elders in the family, having a balance on hand, buying a house and land, eating rent and tiles, that's all. Songyin's generation was pretty good. She had been on duty for two years and had a lot of opportunities. But she didn't have the heart to line her own pockets. She just felt that the emperor had to pay two taels of silver for an egg. She would be embarrassed to report such accounts. But if she doesn't stretch out her hand, she can't cut it short. For example, local officials and royal merchants send filial gifts to their homes in order to get through. Therefore, the Tong family is not short of money. She has seen her wife's account book, and that figure is more than she could eat in ten lifetimes.
But never show off to the outside world. Showing off is a taboo and can lead to death. Therefore, as soon as someone says, "The Tong family is rich," they should immediately reply, "You are too flattering to us, and we dare not blindly be rich." This is the most basic thing.response method. Read the full text of the latest popular chapters, but Songyin didn't do that to him. She always felt that telling lies in front of him was not a wise move, as it would make him look down on her. He was indeed a sensible person and told her that she must not make up for the shortfall carelessly. "If the emperor knew it, but you closed the account and something big happened, then we should trace the Tong family's wealth."
There was a cool breeze and the lights were dim. When Songyin looked at him, he felt more like a guest. She was glad that he had the same idea as hers. In fact, she said filling it was easy for her. She knew she couldn't fill this hole, not because she couldn't fill it, but because she was afraid of falling into the emperor's trap. Since the substitution goes against Grandpa's will, the Tong family should be uprooted. Ignoring the law and being corrupt is the best crime to eliminate future troubles.
Living in the palace, concubines and concubines are scheming, and people like them are not comfortable, so he said that sending people into the palace is really afraid of harming them for a lifetime. If the emperor is good, just waste your time waiting and hoping. If you are favored, it is unimaginable. Will you be like Guo Guiren, and turning over a card is equivalent to being punished?
She snorted, "Let me ask you something."
What I just said was quite serious. After all, big things are happening right now, so you have to have a correct attitude. But she suddenly changed her tone, leaning slightly, with a weird smile on her face, and her unsteady tendons were picked up by her. She happily leaned over and said with a smile: "What's the matter, sister?" ?¡±
Songyin hesitated slightly, "I want to ask you about Lu Run."
He made a face, "He is a eunuch." After finishing speaking, he added firmly, "A real eunuch!"
Songyin gave him a fierce look, "I know, even if you are not a eunuch, you can't stay in the palace."
"Then why are you asking about him?" He thought for a while and felt that it was wrong. The threat was a bit big. "You often come and go in the Yangxin Hall, and you have more opportunities to get along with him than with me"
This man always likes to compare himself, even if he is compared with Prince Yu, why should he be compared with the eunuch! Songyin was helpless, "I don't want to follow him, I'm just a little curious about him."
He then breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not just about being with him. Eunuchs are not all human beings, and you won't be happy with him. I can't find anything wrong with Lu Run. He's a good person. He doesn't like to show off and does things well. He is very down-to-earth and has no bad intentions. Why are you asking about him?"
Songyin mumbled and said it was nothing, "I just heard some rumors about him and the emperor."
It was different from what she expected. She thought that Rong Shi would at least make a fuss. Unexpectedly, he was not surprised at all. He coughed dryly, glanced within a radius of fifty steps, and pretended to say: "Why are you so stupid about such hearsay?" Are you interested? Do you know that talking about the emperor is a capital crime? Are you afraid that I will arrest you?"
It seems that he knows something about the inside story, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. She smiled shyly, "I don't want to talk about the emperor, I just care about Lu Run."
Rong Shi had a proud look on his face, shook his head and said, "It depends on whether I am willing to tell you. Normally I only tell people close to me about this kind of content. Who are you to pry me off so easily?" Q?"
Songyin looked at him angrily, this person was always taking advantage of loopholes, just thinking of a few words that he liked to hear. He was showing off here, which made her feel itchy. She rubbed her hands and called her second brother, "Tell me about it."
Obviously, the second brother couldn't satisfy him. Don't make his face up at will. "Lu Run is serving well.
This is not what Songyin wanted to hear, so she increased her strength and changed from "second brother" to "second brother".
He turned around, his eyes shining, "Sister"
She felt a chill, "Can I say it now?"
He still shook his head, "There are a lot of troubles in front of you, don't you want to think about how to get out?"
She had already planned that if the emperor insisted on wearing small shoes, she would ask the queen mother for help. No matter what, the first thing she wants to preserve is the foundation of the Tong family. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, which has been in charge for decades, cannot be destroyed in her hands. Now that we have the spectrum, there is nothing to worry about. What should be there will always be there, and what shouldn't be there can't be found even if the library is turned upside down. Now that he is here, she feels that she talks a bit too much and wants to chat with him, so Lu Run unfortunately becomes their talking point. The two classes can develop side by side by exchanging gossip and slowly turn into a steel-like friendship. Although this kind of thing usually happens between women and women, it can also be very happy and harmonious when meeting someone like Rong Shi who takes an unconventional path.
She nodded and bowed, "This problem has bothered me for several days. I even wonder in my dreams. Can you please give me an explanation."
He thought about it and said yes, "But you have to give me the motivation to say it."
She consciously called out again, "Second brother."
He couldn¡¯t say, ¡°The portion is not enough, you have to call your relatives.¡±
Song Yin¡¯s hair stood on end, ¡°What is this name? I¡¯ve never heard anyone call it that.¡±
He said yes, "That's what Master Dong's wife called her on the day of his funeral."
Songyin felt that he really had no taboos. What kind of words could be said at that time? People were dead, so they could be affectionate and scream. Can the living be the same as the dead? She was unwilling to agree, "Unlucky, not a good word."
But he smiled, "If you say this, I will be willing to die."
She turned around to look at him. Tsinghua's cheerful features, hidden in the thin twilight, looked even more rounded, like the person in the painting. Her tone became much gentler, "I don't like this. Don't live or die. It's not easy for us to live. Are you stupid to risk your life just to hear that sound?"
Her words were obviously much more meaningful than her "relatives" sentence. Rong Shi felt very excited and liked the feeling of being taken seriously by her. She also saw that he had loosened up, so she got closer, blinking and striking while the iron was hot, "I've always been very fond of Lu Run. He helped me twice. It's a pity for such a good person to be a eunuch. In this world, There is such an unfair thing. Look at those people in the city. They knead walnuts, raise horses, and do not do any serious work. Just because they are in the flag and have a salary, they can live by the court. Lu Run is a Han, and his family is in decline. He can't afford to eat, so he has no choice but to become a eunuch. If he had the same treatment as a bannerman, he might be able to pass the exam and become a high official, and he wouldn't be like now, don't you think?"
Rong actually didn¡¯t express as much emotion as she did, ¡°Don¡¯t ask where the hero came from. It¡¯s enough that he is in power now. The flesh that has been lost cannot be grown back, and there is no point in regretting it.¡±
"Then is it true that he and the emperor are real?" He sat high, and she sat short. If she got closer, she would almost lean on his legs. She inquired wholeheartedly, without restraint, "You said that the emperor has not had a son for so many years, does it have something to do with him?"
He lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Woman, you are really full of crooked ideas. Having no sons is not the same as being childless. The emperor has no brother, but he has a princess, which means he has no illness. As for Lu Run" He raised his hand and touched it. He touched his temples and said, "As long as you love each other, it doesn't matter who the fuck is."
Songyin took a deep breath, and as expected, it was indeed true! Rong Shi spoke quickly, and the problem that had been bothering her for a long time was revealed by him, and she understood everything.
She felt confused in her heart, "It's not easy to like someone and have concubines in the harem sleep with him."
"Lu Run can't give birth to a child, and the emperor's heir is important." After he finished speaking, he remembered that he should keep it secret and told her seriously, "I have always been strict with my words, and I will tell you everything this time. You can't spread it."
She waved her hand, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
As long as you are not stupid, your mutual goodwill has improved to a new level. After all, developing a relationship depends on more communication, no matter what the content is, if you come and go, the friendship will be sublimated.
The conversation was very pleasant, and everyone was happy. The moon was high in the sky, and Songyin couldn't help but yawn. Looking at it from this angle, his face was a bit fleshy, like a child that hadn't grown yet. Although she is usually majestic and majestic, she is extremely cute when she is confused. Commander Rong is just like her. She is capable of making a man proud. Apart from her, there is probably no other semicolon in the world.
He moved his hand from the railing, trying to touch her secretly. She was sitting at the right height. When not wearing a hat, she looked like a girl. She had long, thick hair, braided into a big braid, hanging down to her waist. Down. His heart was pounding. For a person with little experience, it takes courage to take a step forward. He once consulted with his father and asked how he should approach a girl. Bachelor Rong's answer was simple: careful, diligent, and cheeky. You should never expect a girl to stick to you. If you put on airs, the girl will think you are not interested in her and break up with you immediately. But showing kindness must be done in a measured way, not in a hurry, but steady and calm. When you meet a girl you like, you will burst into laughter, and others will be afraid of you.
He could understand those three points alone, but the subsequent interpretation completely confused him. You have to be thick-skinned and calm at the same time. Why is it so difficult to please a girl? He decided to ignore the secret technique and win on his own. When you like someone, every part of her is attractive. He hugged her and pinched her knot, but it was all in a hurry and he had no chance to appreciate it carefully. Now she is right in front of me, her dark cloud-like hair looks so lovely
He really stretched out his hand. He was very nervous and a little happy. But just as he was about to touch it, a eunuch jumped over and planted a thousand rice seedlings. "Little manager, Mr. Tong invites you to come over."
Songyin was agitated, she actually fell asleep just now, damn it. She responded and tried to stand up, but couldn't find the strength for a while. Rong Shi was still quick-sighted, so he jumped down first and grabbed her, and then his hand was like a biologicalI can't get rid of my roots.
She was blushing and her heart was tight, but it was also sweet. Although she was embarrassed, she did not reject it at all. He wields a bow and dances with a sword all year round, and his palms are warm and powerful with thin calluses. The tiger bone wrench on her thumb pressed against the back of her hand, which felt cold.
She murmured, "It's too bad to let others see it."
He didn¡¯t speak, his lips pursed tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away if he let go.
Songyin couldn't get away, and she was worried about going to the warehouse. She was in a dilemma, "It's time for me to send someone to hurry up."
He then let go, "It's best to get over it tonight. Tomorrow is your birthday, so don't waste it on this."
Who knows, it depends on luck. She was helpless, "I've finished the inventory here, and I still have to close the accounts when I go back. I'm afraid I won't have any free time tomorrow."
He sighed softly, "Then I'll take a leave of absence and come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to accompany you."
If you care about a girl, you should look at her carefully. She pursed her lips and smiled, "If something goes wrong with Guang Chusi, will your place still be peaceful? Okay, let's not talk anymore, I have to go there."
We can¡¯t afford to delay, so let¡¯s put aside whatever you have to say. The two of them hurried into Liuku. Fortunately, it wasn't bad news. Shu Ming pointed to a box and showed it to her, "It's really blinding. The boxes that were put into the warehouse last time were counted and had no place to put them. They were put back again. This time, there was a mess. Forgot it. God bless me, I finally found it, otherwise what a mess it would be!"
But I was a little too happy because I found only 408 taels of gold, more than 1,000 taels of silver and some gems, but I still couldn't close it.
??????????????????????????????????. The inventory was completed shortly after he left, and the situation was not optimistic.
Songyin stood in front of the storehouse, stunned. What should she do? She was helpless at the moment. At first, I was wondering if it was a trap set by the emperor to let them drill, but the gold was found, and the whereabouts of the rest were still unknown. When they went to the Empress Dowager for help, they had to confirm that the emperor was trapping them. If it was not what she thought, once she opened her mouth, she would definitely submit to Prince Yu and openly go against the emperor. It's a big deal to pull off this big hat, it will crush people's backs. If it doesn't go well, the Tong family will be completely defeated.
She was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat. Thinking about her plan last night, she was really dizzy. The sun rose, and a beam of light shone on her face, which was so hot that it hurt. She turned around and saw that there were five large locks hanging on the door from top to bottom, and two seals were pasted across each other. One was signed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the other was signed by the Military Aircraft Department.
Shuming sighed, "Go back, think about it again when you go back, it won't do any good just standing here."
She followed Ama back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the pen-posters began to calculate the accounts again. Listening to the sound of the abacus beads, she felt so anxious that she was about to get angry. She called Amma to her duty room, "It's really not possible for us to fill it out ourselves. Rong Shi and I also said that he didn't agree and was worried that the emperor would take advantage of the words and launch an attack on our property. At first, because there was I am really hesitant about the more than four hundred taels of gold. Now that the gold has been found, and the one thousand two hundred taels of silver, even if I can make up for it, Long live the Lord has nothing to say."
Shu Ming glanced at her and said, "Daughter, how much do we both have per year? I am one hundred and fifty-five taels, and you are one hundred and five taels. If we talk about salary alone, one thousand two hundred taels is not a small number. "
"We still have money to support integrity. You have 10,000 taels a year, and I also have 4,000 taels. Isn't this enough?"
Shu Ming shook his head, "You're angry, you have to think twice about everything. If someone deliberately finds trouble with you, even if it's just one or two, I'll still punish you. What I mean is to report the truth to the emperor and use the Punishment Division. They will always have a way to deal with it." The truth was dug out."
That chaos is inevitable, everyone related to Guang Chusi will be tried, and the court will be shaken. Then, no matter whether they are found out in the end or not, the father and daughter will not be able to benefit, and they will have to be exploited first.
She paced around the room with her fists clenched, thinking of Lu Run. Although she didn't have a close friendship with him, she sincerely asked for her, so he wouldn't refuse to save her.
She glanced at the chiming clock, took off her hat from the hat tube and put it on, turned to go out, but Shu Ming stopped her, "Where are you going?"
She said: "I'm going to find Lu Run. The emperor is currently in court, and Tan Rui is in charge. Lu Run is idle. I asked him to think of something for me. Even if a thorough investigation is required, it's best to do it privately. Amma , if it really breaks out, we will suffer a big loss."
Shuming frowned and said, "Eunuchs are not good people. Just send them to your door. Don't let others plot against you."
She said she knew, "I must give him some benefits. There is nothing in this world that cannot be done with money." - Didn't finish reading?
