"help me!"
As soon as Gu Jiu walked out of Weiyang Palace, a little cleaning lady bumped into her, and then she had an extra note in her hand.
She looked at it in a daze, and the word "help me" on the note was too eye-catching.
"The rules of the maids working in the palace are getting worse and worse. Madame, have you been bumped?"
Qing Mei complained a lot, then worried about Gu Jiu again.
Gu Jiu shook her head, "It's okay. The little maid has never met anyone before, so it's inevitable to be nervous."
Liu Yi and Xiao Qin'er looked back at Gu Jiu.
Xiao Qin'er asked with concern: "Is my sister-in-law okay? Why don't you ask someone to drag this damn maid down and clean her up. Sure enough, the rules in this palace are getting worse and worse."
The little maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed frequently, "I beg my wife to spare my life, I beg my wife to spare my life."
Gu Jiu said with a straight face, "If you kowtow twenty heads, I will spare your life."
The little maid kowtowed, one after another, just hearing the sound, she felt a pain in her forehead.
However, Gu Jiu had to punish her.
This is in the palace, it doesn't mean that she is really fine if she says she is fine.
She dares to vouch for it.
If she says it's okay, don't pursue the matter. Once she leaves, the fate of this little maid will only be worse.
Only when she punished the little maid, the eunuchs in the palace would not catch the little maid and continue to punish her.
Gu Jiu glanced coldly at the little maid who was still kowtowing, and said to the maid beside her, "Let's go! Everything is not going well today."
Qing Mei quickly supported Gu Jiu's wrist and left the place.
Liu Yiduo glanced at the little palace maid who kowtowed.
Xiao Qin'er was dissatisfied immediately, "What are you looking at, Your Highness?"
Liu Yi shook his head, "Okay, why did you bump into my sister-in-law?"
Xiao Qin'er snorted, "These little maids, one or two, the rules are getting worse and worse. I don't know how those eunuchs and mothers train them. If they really can't do it, let others do the job."
Liu Yi said: "Maybe there is no other way. During the reign of the late emperor, the harem was cleaned several times. Those old people who were accustomed to wind and rain are gone."
Those who are alive are naturally not as capable as those old people who have died. It is also possible that the court ladies who have been trained are not good enough.
Liu Yi went to Xingqing Palace.
Xiao Qin'er caught up with Gu Jiu, "Sister-in-law, let's go out of the palace together."
Gu Jiu smiled at her, "Fourth siblings don't talk much today."
Xiao Qin'er didn't mind at all, "Sister-in-law also knows that I am clumsy and tongue-tied. After entering the palace, I was almost scared to death, how dare I speak casually. On the contrary, sister-in-law is eloquent and eloquent, which makes me very envious .”
"Brothers and sisters don't need to be humble. I know that you are struggling and uncomfortable. After all, you are different from us. You are closer to the Queen Mother than others."
Xiao Qin'er's expression was gloomy, "When I was in my mother's house, every time I entered the palace, I would call out my aunt, my aunt. The empress treated me very kindly, and I also regarded the empress as the closest person in my heart. This time, the empress I am more worried than anyone else about an accident. I was so worried that I couldn't speak. Sister-in-law, please don't laugh at me. "
"How could it be. My brother and sister have a sincere heart, and the empress will be gratified when she knows it."
Xiao Qin'er looked a little better, "The two of us are terribly worried, some people are just afraid that this will make them happy."
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, she knew who Xiao Qin'er was talking about.
She was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, talking about Ouyang Fu.
Ouyang Fu entered the palace with them, but did not act together. Ouyang Fu went to Concubine Shen Xian, after all Concubine Shen Xian is Ouyang Fu's serious mother-in-law.
Gu Jiu said: "The situation is different, the fourth sibling can't criticize the second sibling either. She has her own difficulties."
"Sister-in-law really speaks for her. Just because she is close to sister-in-law, sister-in-law doesn't care about her position?"
"We are all worried about the safety of the Empress Dowager, so how can we take a stand at this moment? Could it be that Concubine Shen Xian and the second younger siblings are not worried about the Empress Dowager? Fourth younger siblings, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. Be careful that Concubine Shen Xian makes trouble for you."
Xiao Qin'er snorted, "I'm not afraid."
Gu Jiu teased, "You're confident, so you're naturally not afraid. But I'm afraid."
She said "scared" without hesitation, which shocked Xiao Qin'er.
"Is sister-in-law also afraid?"
"I'm a human, how can I not be afraid."
Xiao Qin'er's black eyeballs turned left and right, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. Let's greet the Queen Mother together tomorrow, and I will say something nice for you."
"Thank you fourth brother and sister. I appreciate your kindness. I just don't know how to thank you."
Xiao Qin'er grinned, "For the road construction, I want to invest more money in it, okay?"
"Okay!"
Gu Jiu never had trouble with money.
Xiao Qin'er looked happy, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
The reason why she wanted to invest more money in Gu Jiu's road repair was because of Liu Yi and her family's advice.
Liu Yi simply believed in Gu Jiu's vision, and believed that Gu Jiu would not make a loss-making business. Therefore, I asked Xiao Qin'er to invest more money in it, at least earn some pocket money to spend. Think of it as opening up one more source of income.
For the Xiao family, it was out of interest considerations.
The Xiao family hopes that Fourth Highness Liu Yin can reconcile with First Highness Liu Zhao.
After all, they are brothers, so they can't fight at this time, and it's cheaper for others.
It was inconvenient for Liu Yi to come forward, but Xiao Qin'er had no such worries.
Since Xiao Qin'er communicated with Gu Jiu, and the two sides came and went frequently, the two brothers Liu Yi and Liu Zhao would naturally become close gradually.
It has to be said that the Xiao family thought very well, and they also planned for Xiao Qin'er and his wife wholeheartedly.
After listening to the suggestion, Xiao Qin'er approached Gu Jiu, wanting to invest more money in road repairs.
This time it's not a small fight, just three or five thousand taels will be dismissed.
Xiao Qin'er prepared 30,000 taels of silver, and asked someone to send it to Gu Jiu after returning home.
Gu Jiu was speechless secretly, thinking that Xiao Qin'er is quite rich, and she actually took out thirty thousand taels of silver in one go.
The two sisters-in-law went out of the palace together, got into their respective carriages, and set off back to the palace.
Gu Jiu winked, Qing Mei was guarding the car door.
Gu Jiu spread out his palm, revealing a small note.
Her palms were sweating, and the sweat soaked the note half dry, but fortunately, the handwriting was still clear.
"Help me!" Under the words, there is a clump of young sprouts.
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, she already knew who sent the note.
It was Zhou Miao who worked at Shangshan Supervisor.
She couldn't help frowning, the queen mother ate badly, was Zhou Miao implicated
he is innocent? Or is he the murderer
It's just that Zhou Miao asked her for help
Zhou Miao sure she can save him
Gu Jiu thought for a while, then suddenly said: "The empress dowager must be allergic to some kind of food."
Qingmei was taken aback, "Since she knows allergies, how could the Empress Dowager eat them?"
Gu Jiu sneered, "Things that you are allergic to have been processed, even if you eat them in your mouth, you may not be able to tell what you are eating."
Cooking with ingredients is just so amazing.
"so what to do now?"
Gu Jiu thought for a while, "There is no need to worry about the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager really ate food that she is allergic to, the Empress Dowager must have a way to find out. What matters now is who is behind the scenes. Your Majesty has only been enthroned for a few months , who is so impatient to do it?"
After finishing speaking, Gu Jiu knocked on the wall of the carriage, "Go to the pharmacy."
The carriage turned around and headed towards the pharmacy in Fang City.
Gu Jiu intends to trust Zhou Miao once and give him a hint. Hope he gets through this safely.
After arriving at the pharmacy, Gu Jiu left a message for Zhou Miao, checked the account books of the pharmacy, gave some instructions, and left.
A few hours later, someone came to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and got Gu Jiu's message by the way.
…
After Gu Jiu returned to the palace, he began to copy Buddhist scriptures.
The task is still to be done, even if I don't believe in the content of the Buddhist scriptures I copied.
She thought that she could travel to this era, it must not be the power of the Buddha.
If you really want to find a god, it should be the ancestor of Sanqing.
Tomorrow, she has to find a Taoist temple and add a sum of money for sesame oil, thank the Patriarch Sanqing for allowing her to live a new life.
Gu Jiu often practiced copybooks and copied Buddhist scriptures at an extremely fast speed.
In one day, twenty volumes have been copied, enough for five days.
She ordered Qingmei to put away the scriptures that had been copied, "I will bring them to the palace in person in the morning tomorrow."
"Is Mrs. Ming'er going to the palace?"
"I didn't see the queen mother, I didn't greet the queen mother, I have to go to the palace every day."
This is filial piety, Gu Jiu dare not be careless.
And she also has to keep an eye on the progress of Queen Pei.
She tended to have someone unclean around Empress Pei.
To do this kind of game, you must have people around you to do it naturally and smoothly, without any trace of calculation.
He suddenly appeared in the Imperial Garden, and happened to hear someone discussing the empress dowager, and immediately decided to arrange a banquet to create opportunities for the empress dowager and His Majesty to get along. As a result, the queen mother had problems after eating the banquet.
One ring after another, if there is no mole around Empress Pei, Gu Jiu wouldn't believe it even if she killed her.
For a person to make a certain decision, who is more suitable than the people around him
For several days in succession, Gu Jiu brought Buddhist scriptures into the palace.
Ouyang Fu followed Xiao Qin'er's example, and together with Gu Jiu, they brought Buddhist scriptures into the palace to pay their respects.
Since the Cai family was demoted, the Third Highness has not yet married a wife, so the Third Highness naturally has no plans to express himself this time.
How anxious he is in his heart, no one else knows.
Anyway, later on, he went to battle in person, copied Buddhist scriptures with his own hand, and went to the palace with Gu Jiu and the others to pay his respects every day.
Xiao Qin'er secretly despised, "The Third Highness is too anxious."
As a man, filial piety is a good thing. But should we use another method to express filial piety than women by copying Buddhist scriptures
Ouyang Fu was silent for a moment, then said: "It's the Third Highness who showed filial piety."
Gu Jiu also said: "The Third Highness is filial to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is very happy."
Gu Jiu turned the corner and reminded Xiao Qin'er, don't rely on her blood relationship with Empress Dowager Xiao, she can do whatever she wants.
The royal family pays the most attention to blood relationship, but it is also the place that does not pay attention to blood relationship.
It is not uncommon in the royal family to kill brothers and fathers and mothers.
If something like this happened to a wealthy family, the sky would collapse.
That is to say, the royal family, if you kill, you will kill. After the killing, someone helped whitewash the peace.
When they arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Peace, they presented Buddhist scriptures.
Could it be that the mother smiled, "The queen mother is very happy to learn about your filial piety. The queen mother can get up today, and you can go in to say hello."
"Really? Has the empress dowager recovered?"
"Almost recovered."
Everyone filed into the bedroom.
The sisters-in-law and the others were about to bow and salute, when the Third Highness Liu Yan came to make a show.
"Grandmother!" With a trembling cry, Third Highness Liu Yan threw himself down in front of the bed, "These days, my grandson is so worried. I can't eat well or sleep well every day, and I have been thinking about my grandmother's body. If my grandmother has a In case, the grandson will die too."
vomit!
Xiao Qin'er almost vomited out of nausea.
shameless!
Imposing men and women compete for the chance to show off, what the hell, is there a bottom line
Ouyang Fu was obviously also stimulated, stroking her abdomen, feeling a little nervous.
Gu Jiu's eyebrows twitched.
Oh my god, the operation of the Third Highness is very annoying. Not comparable, not comparable at all.
His Highness Liu Yan took out the copied Buddhist scriptures, took out thirty volumes in one breath, and instantly killed the Buddhist scriptures in the hands of Gu Jiu and the three of them.
The three of them only brought four volumes according to the rules.
I rely on!
Seeing this scene, Xiao Qin'er was furious and stomped her feet anxiously.
The Third Highness Liu Yan took out thirty volumes of Buddhist scriptures in one breath, but the four volumes of Buddhist scriptures in their hands were nowhere to be found.
What the hell, isn't this forcing the three of them to be unfilial
At this moment, Xiao Qin'er even wanted to kill the Third Highness Liu Yan.
The Third Highness doesn't give people a way out, so why should she be polite.
"Queen Mother!" Xiao Qin'er wiped away her tears and began to cry, "My grandson's daughter-in-law is worried to death. Thank God, thank you Gods and Buddhas in the sky for blessing, your empress is finally recovering."
Xiao Qin'er cried with sincerity, knelt down beside the bed, and pushed the Third Highness Liu Yan out of the golden seat with a push of her body.
