Chapter 989: Library management

It's rare for Luo Qingyan to forget what he said, and he really didn't touch her.

Early the next morning, Luo Qingyan got up early, and Yun Chang woke up when she heard the movement.

Couldn't sleep any more, so he simply got up and personally waited for him to dress and wash, and waited for Luo Qingyan to take his servants and leave for the Golden Palace before calling someone in to clean up.

After interviewing the stewards of the various palaces and bureaus early, Yun Shang hastily read all the brochures, but there was nothing important.

"Is the steward of the library here today?"

Qianzhuo was packing up the booklets at the side, heard the words and thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "No. If there is no important matter at the Zangshu Pavilion, I usually don't come to participate in the morning discussion very often."

"Yeah." Yun Chang nodded, and asked again: "If I remember correctly, besides the steward Wang who had the accident before, the other steward of the library should be a servant surnamed Zhou, right?"

"Yes." Listening to Yunshang's two consecutive questions about the steward of the library, Qianzhuo knew that Yunshang wanted to do something to the steward of the library: "Do you want to change the steward of the library? But the one who poisoned and murdered the empress dowager before was the steward."

"Before this steward Wang even sheltered a palace servant in the library. It was the palace servant who spied on Weiyang Palace in Mingyue Tower when His Majesty pretended to be poisoned. I don't believe that he is in the same library. What is that steward Zhou? I don’t know anything. If it’s true that I don’t know anything, it proves that he is not very competent as a manager.”

"That's right." Qianzhuo nodded, and pondered for a moment: "Do you want the servant to send someone to pass on that steward Zhou?"

"That's not necessary." Yunshang tapped her finger on the armrest: "If someone sends him over, and he knows that I summoned him, he will definitely anticipate all the questions I will ask along the way, and think about it How to answer. In this way, it will be difficult to distinguish the truth from the false in these words."

"How about, I'll go to the library for a walk now. First, I can see what the library is like on weekdays. Second, I can catch the steward Zhou by surprise."

Qianzhuo responded, then turned to look outside the hall: "The weather is good today, the sun is a little bit bright, so this servant girl will go and get an umbrella for the empress to shade her from the sun."

After saying that, he went to get the umbrella, and called a few palace servants to accompany him, and then helped Yunshang out of Weiyang Palace and went to the library.

Mingyue Building is next to the library building. When Yunshang passed by Mingyue Building, she raised her eyes to look at Mingyue Building and pursed her thin lips.

"After the incident before, the servant sent someone to keep an eye on the Mingyue Tower. This Mingyue Tower can be regarded as a rare tall building in the palace. According to the old palace people in the palace, occasionally when the moon is full, there will be some people in the palace. The master likes to come to this Mingyue Tower to enjoy the moon. But there are not many masters in the palace now, and this Mingyue Tower is idle most of the time, and there are not many people who come to enjoy the moon. When the moon is not full, even less people come. "

"The servant girl asked someone to record all the people in Mingyue Tower in the future, and occasionally go to look through it to see if there is anything unusual, but I haven't found any clues in the past few months."

Yun Shang responded with a casual voice: "After what happened before, I am afraid that few people go to Mingyue Tower. Remember it, just in case it will be useful in the future."

After walking a few steps forward, we arrived at the library.

As soon as I entered the gate of the library, I saw palace people busy in the yard, some were moving the books out of the library, some were placing stools in the yard, and some were moving the books out one by one. Unfold it and put it in the sun to dry.

Yunshang looked at the door for a while, and someone saw Yunshang, and hurriedly knelt down to salute in a panic: "Empress Empress!"

"Greetings to the empress!"

As soon as the voice came out, all the busy palace people in the courtyard looked towards Yunshang, and immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Greetings to the empress."

Yun Chang responded, "Get up."

He looked up, but he didn't see anything in charge.

"Where are you in charge?"

A palace official quickly responded: "Guan Zhou is sorting out the bibliography in the room behind the library."

Yun Chang nodded, and led the people straight to the back.

Yun Shang had also been to the library before, but she only looked for books and read in the library, but she didn't know that there was a room behind the library.

Bypassing the library, there is indeed a neat row of houses hidden behind the library.

The door of one of the houses in the row was open.

Yun Chang walked over, and saw a palace man in a dark purple official uniform sitting at a table in the room. There were several booklets on the table, with a pen in his hand, as if he was copying something.

Yun Shang stood still at the door: "Manager Zhou."

The waiter paused the pen in his hand, raised his head hurriedly, saw that it was Yun Shang, the hand holding the pen moved slightly, and a drop of ink fell on the paper, smudged.

But the servant didn't care so much, he just stood up quickly: "Greetings to the empress."

Yun Shang responded, but did not wake him up: "What is Guanshi Zhou doing?"

"Reporting to my lord, there are quite a few books in the library that haven't been dried for a long time, and some of them are about to grow worms. Seeing that the weather is just right today, the servant asked someone to take those books out to dry. By the way, the servant can also re-count the books, okay? Registering and making books, now we are copying the book lists on every bookshelf on every floor."

Yun Chang nodded, walked in, picked up the booklet he was copying on the table, took a look, saw that it was really a book list, and put it back.

"After something happened to Guanshi Wang, can Guanshi Zhou still be busy?"

Steward Zhou lowered his head, but there was nothing unusual in his voice: "To tell you what my mother said, I was really busy. The first two months were fine, but because of the cold weather, masters didn't go out very much. There are also relatively few people borrowing books to read in the library, and there are not many things to do, but they can barely handle it."

"The weather is getting warmer, more people are coming, and there are more things to do, so I feel a little hard when I get busy."

Manager Zhou seemed to be smiling: "The slave is thinking about sorting out the things in his hands. In two days, I will go to the empress's place and ask the empress to send another person to help me."

Yun Shang raised her eyelids: "Send someone over to help? I thought that Manager Zhou wanted to directly select a competent palace official in this library to promote him. After all, he has done things in this library, and he is very concerned about the library. Doesn't Lou understand better?"

Hearing what Yun Shang said that week, the steward lowered his head even more: "It's all right, it all depends on how the empress arranges. The things in this library are also easy to learn, as long as you have read books and can read. The empress wants to send someone over here, and the servant will teach you by hand, and you can get started in about a month or two. If you have done things in the library, it will naturally be faster... "
