Quniang came out of the palace, but Gu Baiyi came out of Zhimingyuan. Qin Xiao didn't know anything before, but at this time, she was quite surprised.
"You met Aunt Rong in the palace." Qin Xiao said, "One of you is in Shangshi Bureau and the other is in Shanggong Bureau. Do you have a lot of contact with each other?" Qin Xiao thought of Aunt Rong's arrogant face. I feel uncomfortable.
Quniang shook her head and said: "I just entered the palace, just following the rules. At that time, she was already working in the Shangshi Bureau." Qiuniang explained: "I entered the palace at the age of ten and learned the rules for half a year. When she went to the Shangshi Bureau to work as a handyman, she was assigned to the Department of Medicine. At that time, she was still in the medicine department, but she had a bad temper and often beat and scolded us little palace ladies. I accidentally took the wrong thing that day, she. .... She pierced me with a hairpin, and I cried out bitterly. It happened that sister Hui, who was next to her concubine wife, came to fetch the medicine. When she saw her hit me, she protected me and told me about it when she returned. After the wife of the concubine, the concubine was not only good-looking, but also kind-hearted, so she sent someone to take me to the concubine of the concubine, let me work as an errand in the concubine of the concubine."
"Yuhua Palace?"
"The Empress Wei concubine was very favored by the first emperor. Not only was she named a noble concubine, she also gave the palace where the Empress Wei concubine lived." Qiu Niang's lips appeared to be shallow at the mention of the Empress Wei concubine. With a smile, there was even respect in her beautiful eyes: "I am waiting for the concubine. She is kind. Seeing that I am young, she treats me like my own daughter. Even if I do something wrong, she will not She scolded me, and...she also taught me to paint, and she would reward me with delicious food. By the way, the concubine wife gave me a name called Late Autumn. Later, I was in the palace and everyone Call me like this."
Qin Xiao thought that since Qiuniang said this, it seems that the concubine empress is indeed a gentle and kind-hearted person. If Qiuniang enters the palace, it is a blessing to meet such a master.
"Later, Empress Wei concubine was pregnant with the prince, and she did not allow others to serve her, so I only let Sister Hui and I be by her side." Qiuniang whispered: "It's just that I have been with Empress Wei for less than a year, Prince Before I was born, I was transferred to the Shanggong Bureau. Someone said behind my back that I was too young to take care of my concubine and my concubine, so I was transferred away. However, at the Shanggong Bureau, I can also visit my mother from time to time, but ..... Not long after I was transferred, the empress became seriously ill. Not long after I heard that the prince had a miscarriage due to illness, the prince did not save her, and the concubine empress also passed away due to illness."
Qin Xiao was taken aback and lost his voice: "Is your mother sick and dying?"
Qiu Niang showed grief and nodded: "Yes, after I knew it, I cried for many days. But within half a year, the first emperor died, and the saint soon became the throne, and many of the palace ladies were released. When I left, only the young palace lady was left. At that time, I was still young and didn't let me go out of the palace. I stayed in Shanggong Bureau. This stay was 14 years. Sister Hui was also released from the palace a long time ago. I just knew that in the palace, except for Empress Wife and Sister Hui, no one else had a good intention."
Qin Xiao knows that the intrigue in the palace is extremely harsh, and Qiuniang should have suffered a lot in it.
"When I was in the Shanggong Bureau, I often met with Aunt Rong in the palace." Qiuniang said indifferently: "She is an old lady in the palace. We will call her aunt when we meet. Every time I saw me, I would tell everyone around me that I was the little palace lady she trained, said that I was clumsy and could not do anything, and made fun of me in front of many people. I always avoided her in the palace anyway. She left the palace ten years ago, she cares
With medicine, the nobles in the palace use medicine. If the status is high, she will send it to her personally, just to get some reward. When she left the palace, she saved a lot of money. "
"So that's the case." Qin Xiao said: "The member of the surname Qian Wailang is quite respectful to her, and naturally has gained her a lot of benefits."
"After she was out of the palace, I never saw her again." Qiuniang shook her head and said, "I don't know much about her. However, she is not the same as the one in the palace. The young noble acquaintance, the surname Qian is her nephew. If he can be an official, he should have something to do with her."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly, and wanted to see Qian Zhao's attitude towards Aunt Rong before. It seems that Qian Zhao can be a foreigner, but Aunt Rong used her own contacts.
With her status and connections in the palace, it is already the limit to make her nephew a foreigner.
"Where is Sister Hui?" Qin Xiao didn't forget the Sister Hui mentioned by Qiuniang. The only people who knew that Qiuniang treated her well in the palace were the concubine and Wan Qiu. If it weren't for Sister Hui to be bullied by Aunt Rong Qiuniang, go back to report, it is naturally impossible for the concubine to transfer Qiuniang to the concubine.
Speaking of which, Sister Hui is also Qiuniang's benefactor.
She can help Qiuniang out of righteousness, and her heart is naturally very pure and kind. Although Qin Xiao has never seen her, she has a good impression of that sister Hui in her heart.
"Sister Hui was transferred to the Siyuan of Shangxingju after the death of the concubine Wei, where she planted fruits and vegetables in the palace, but after the saint became the throne, Sister Hui was the first group of palace people to be released." Qiu Mother said: "Sister Hui was only 20 years old when she went out of the palace. The first batch of people who went out of the palace were older palace maids. Not many of them went out of the palace early at her age. But that's fine. She is young and has a very good family background. Her father served as a county guard in Guangling County, Xuzhou. When she was sixteen, she was drafted into the palace. Although she was unsuccessful, she still stayed with her concubine."
Qin Xiaodao: "So she has returned to Guangling to marry?"
Qiu Niang smiled and said: "She returned to Guangling, but now in Kyoto. After she returned to Guangling, she married a protégé of her father. Later, her father helped his protégé open the door and enter Beijing for Guan, now she is also the official wife in front of the errand of Guanglu Temple Cheng. Her father has already paid her official duties, but she has an older brother who is an official collaborator."
"It seems that Sister Hui really has some background." Qin Xiao heard the words, and felt comfortable. He felt that it would be a great thing for someone like Sister Hui to have a good home, and smiled: "Then you can often see Sister Hui?"
Qiu Niang nodded her head slightly, her pretty face became dignified, and she said softly: "Sister Hui came to Kyoto with her husband six years ago. After I left the palace, she found me and knew that I had nowhere to go after I left the palace. I went to work in her mansion. It’s just that I saw a lot of intrigue in the palace. There were also many servants in Sister Hui’s house. If I entered the mansion, I would stay with many people. I don’t like that. As long as you and Bai Yi can eat three meals a day, it’s good."
"Sister Hui's husband is Guanglu Temple Cheng, and his brother is a staff doctor, so they are not bad, so why don't you talk to Sister Hui and let them take Brother Gu?"
Qiu Niang immediately said: "Don't say this in front of Bai Yi. Bai Yi has been in Kyoto Prefecture for so many years, and has always been just a clerical man. He doesn't like dealing with people, let alone understand
Welcome to please the boss, and the people in Kyoto Prefecture don't wait to see him. There are not many of them, but no one has thought of promoting him. It doesn't matter in white clothes, as long as he has enough money to buy books every month, he will be satisfied. I once told him that Bai Yi was very upset by asking Sister Hui to help him. He also said that I would really do this, and he didn't even want to do the clerical work. "Sigh: "White has no utilitarian heart, doesn't care about his own future, nor is he interested in getting promoted and wealthy. "
Qin Xiao thought that it is possible that Gu Baiyi didn't want to get rich, but he might not care about his future.
It’s just that Gu Baiyi clearly sees through the corruption and incompetence of the officialdom. From his words, he can clearly feel his disappointment with the court, but he is in the company of the officials with the corpse position. Naturally, Gu Baiyi’s heart is not willing.
Gu Baiyi usually looks calm and calm, and looks harmless to humans and animals, but he sees the problem sharply and is talented. If there is a real opportunity for him to display what he has learned, he may not refuse.
"But...Sister Hui is in trouble these days." Qiuniang hesitated for a moment, and sighed slightly, a worried expression appeared between her brows.
Qin Xiaoqi said: "Trouble? What's the trouble?" I thought that sister Hui's husband is Guanglu Temple Cheng, and her brother is a local government official. These two people protect her, and she can't find her in ordinary troubles. .
Qiu Niang wanted to say something but stopped. Seeing Qin Xiao looking at herself, obviously waiting for her to explain the situation, she sighed softly, "I'm afraid you don't believe it." It was actually Qin Xiao who approached Qin Xiao slightly, lowering her voice. : "There are ghosts in Sister Hui's house, she...she said there are ghosts haunting her."
Qin Xiao was startled, he couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his nose, and said: "The ghost haunts her? Whose ghost?"
The two only talked and didn't eat food, but Qin Xiao was very interested in ghost matters, and Qiuniang hadn't moved her chopsticks. After thinking about it, she whispered, "It's a maid in her house. "
"Tell me, what the **** is going on?" Qin Xiao and Qiuniang separated a chair. He kept listening to Qiuniang's words slightly forward. At this moment, he couldn't help but sit directly beside the empty chair and approached. Qiuniang: "What's the matter with maid?"
Qiu Niang said: "This happened two months ago. A maid named Liancui broke a vase that Sister Hui liked very much. Sister Hui was in a bad mood and scolded her. A few words, who knows that Lian Cui maid died suddenly after two days."
Qin Xiao was startled, frowned, Qiuniang lowered her voice and said, "Lian Cui died very strangely. The maid who was in the same room with her said that that night, Lian Cui thought she was asleep, and she sneaked out. Fang, the maid was a little weird. She thought she was going to the hut, so she didn’t take care of it. The next morning, it was discovered that Liancui’s body was in the well. So everyone thought that it was sister Hui who scolded Liancui that day. Lian Cui felt sad and jumped into a well to commit suicide. Sister Hui was very sad when she knew that Lian Cui had committed suicide. Not only did she give Lian Cui's family a sum of money, when she was buried, Sister Hui personally sent it to her."
"What happened later?"
"Lian Cui happened two months ago." Qiuniang's voice was very soft, and she was very close to Qin Xiao: "After the burial, everyone thought it would end here, but...not more than halfway through. In August, Sister Hui woke up in the middle of the night and saw Lian Cui’s ghost, and she was so scared."
