    ?

    The fire burned for half the night, and finally annihilated itself, because there were no trees or dead grass around to start the fire.

    Of course, Zhang Luo's chance to meet with him was also lost.  She lay tremblingly on the dusty couch, hugging the pillow that was padded with books all night.  When I woke up early the next morning, the door of the small warehouse was also opened, and there had been a lot of snow outside, and there was white everywhere.  The burnt rubble of the Dongkua courtyard, accompanied by Bai Xue, is like a zebra lying on the ground.  Master Xu was shoveling snow alone in the distance.

    "Hey, accountant Zhang is awake? Did Liu Gaoban tell you, and the cock crowed and got up?"

    "Master Xu, I am a little hungry." Zhang Luo didn't want to bring up this topic.

    Eunuch Xu held out the chopsticks in his hand to Zhang Luo, "The officials are afraid that you will be summoned later, and then we will have breakfast. Sweep the snow first, so we can go to freshen up. After noon, the people in the cabinet will be free.  Come to deliver the bedding."

    Zhang Luo looked at the creaking pine snow on the ground and was shocked.  Did she come to the right place?  This is the imperial city of the Northern Song Dynasty, the pillows are covered with accounting books, the house has only a roof, and now even the washing water has to be dealt with with snow.  If she had known this, she might as well have continued to sleep on the street.  Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that the bedding she brought from Zuixing Tower was still with Eunuch Liu.

    "Master Xu, I still have something left with Mr. Liu. I'll go"

    "If it falls to him, it's his. If it was valuable, it would have been sold to the pawnshop by now." Eunuch Xu with his hands behind his back, left Zhang Luo behind, and went alone.

    Fortunately, Master Xu is good at predicting things, Zhang Luoxue only cleaned halfway, and eunuchs and mother-in-law came to her, cleaned her neatly after a few strokes, and led her all the way along the Paradise Street where she came yesterday.  In a world made of glass.

    Although the pavilions in the distance are covered with snow, there is a clear pond below, corresponding to the sky.  There are also strange rocks in Taihu Lake, plus clusters of flower nurseries, which are crystal clear and picturesque, dotted among the blue sky, white snow and green pools.

    Entering the "He Diao Tang" on the opposite side of the pond, the warmth immediately hits the face.  From the gilded incense burner in the shape of a Qilin praying, bursts of cigarette smoke curled up.  The charcoal fire crackled in the stove.  Zhang Luo's skin, which had been frozen for a day and a night, began to itch.  Then my stomach growled involuntarily.

    "Has accountant Zhang been hungry for a long time?"

    A man's voice, which seemed to be smiling, came from behind.  The voice sounded a little muffled, but it was warm and extremely magnetic.  Zhang Luo hurriedly looked back.  It turned out to be a Taoist priest wearing a white warm robe and a white jade crown on his head. He had round cheeks and a beard that looked pleasing to the eye.  It's just that there is an eunuch behind him who is also wearing a Taoist uniform, winking at Zhang Luo and telling her to bow her head and bow down.

    "This Immortal, I'm really hungry."

    Zhang Luo quickly lowered his head, imitating Mother Li's posture, but the fire was too bad, so he knocked on the carpet.  This carpet is also fluffy, whether it is touching or stepping on it, it makes people want to roll on it.

    "Uncle Jing, pass on breakfast." Taoist Priest Yuguan smiled, raised his hand, and told Zhang Luo not to be restrained, just sit down.

    Although there were only three or four plates of porridge, steamed stuffed buns, and side dishes for the breakfast that was passed on, whether it was the translucency of the porridge or the taste of the side dishes, Zhang Luo suddenly felt that this was the imperial city again.  As she ate, she even wondered if she had a nightmare last night and this morning.  Taoist Priest Yuguan was lazy at first, but seeing Zhang Luo eating so deliciously, he couldn't help but also ate all the green rice porridge and side dishes in his bowl, and even asked his eunuch to add another bowl.

    "Sure enough, everyone is happy." Taoist Yuguan saw Zhang Luo rubbing his stomach in satisfaction and laughed.  "I don't know where Accountant Zhang is from?"

    "From Jinan."

    The eunuch hurriedly coughed aside.  Zhang Luo thought for a long time, and added another title, "immortal."

    "When were you born?"

    "19" Zhang Luo suddenly got stuck.  She is now in the Northern Song Dynasty. If she said she was born in modern times, wouldn't it be taken as a lunatic talking nonsense.  Fortunately, she still remembered that she said on the registration form yesterday that she was born in the year of Yihai.  "People born in the year of Yihai."

    The eunuch behind Taoist Priest Yuguan was so frightened that he dropped the water bowl in his hand to the ground.  "Clang!"

    Taoist Priest Yuguan looked at him, and then the eunuch interrupted and asked, "Your name is Zhang Luo? Zhang Gongchang, Luo from Luoshui? Born in Yihai, Jinan Prefecture, Qizhou?"

    Zhang Luo was a little confused, her registration form? right?  "

    Tong Guan and Guo Xianren had spent yesterday afternoon and today morning together.  He didn't even ask for financial rights, so he just sent it to the emperor, so he blushed and brought up the topic of his recent great contribution to recovering the Yanyun Seven States.  The emperor was probably also very proud of suppressing Tong Guan's arrogance, and he was also very relaxed about the matter of him begging for more rewards for the Jurchen and the surrendered officials of the Liao Kingdom.

    "I will ask the Inner Court Douyuan Court and the Ministry of Households to work together to calculate the rewards. I am a big country, so it doesn't matter if I spend an extra million dollars."

    When Tong Guan retreated, the emperor remembered that Zhang Luo was still there.  He patted the back of eunuch Zhang's head with a booklet in his sleeve: "Take Zhang accountant down, use her native place to register the documents, and make her a badge for entering and leaving the palace."

    Only then did Eunuch Zhang realize that when he was in a hurry, he overplayed his tricks.

    "Next time, if you think of a way to reject people like Tong Guan, don't use the method of burning down the house. It's a pity for my beautiful yard!"

    "The official is a sage, the old slave is loyal, as long as he is good for the official, he will die" Zhang eunuch took over the birth certificate that Zhang Luo filled out yesterday, covered his face again, really sobbing with tears and snot  .

    Zhang Luo looked at the ceiling caisson, feeling speechless.

    Huizong also waved to Zhang Luo: "Unfortunately, there is no precedent for a woman to be an official through the imperial examination in this dynasty and the previous dynasty. But I can still give accountant Zhang a chance to display her talents in the palace." Then he was a little bit joking and a little bit  He said very seriously: "It's just that next time it's not easy to pretend to be dead and scare people."

    Li Shishi immediately understood what he said wrong just now.  She quickly ran between Zhang Luo and the emperor, and lay down on the carpet, as if a lotus was blooming shyly: "It's not good for officials to be slaves. Don't blame Mr. Jia."

    When Eunuch Zhang sent someone to ask Eunuch Liu to take Zhang Luo back to the Xiaoxi Garden of Douyuan Court, Zhang Luocai asked Eunuch Liu: "What do you mean by pretending to be dead and scaring people?"

    Eunuch Liu covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "Then Zhang Luo, who was born in Jinan Prefecture, Qizhou in the year of Yiwei, was the one who was killed as a tool of Gu in the case of Empress Meng's witchcraft!"

    Zhang Luo quickly pricked up his ears.

    "More than ten years ago, the princess born to the Meng family, who was abolished by the first emperor, was critically ill. The abolished empress asked the first emperor to allow her natal family to invite the talisman water from Guangzaoyuan. But the princess still died. When the first emperor was in grief, Mr. Zhang Daxiang came to play  The newspaper said that the Empress Dowager actually used the name of treating the princess to get her family to find a Taoist priest who built a courtyard and curse the later Empress Liu. A portrait with nails was found under Empress Liu's bed.  It's human ashes"

    "Hmm, did Empress Liu die later?"

    Suddenly, a broom took a direct photo, beating Zhang Luo covered in snow.  Master Xu appeared behind.

    "Empress Liu is naturally fine."

    Eunuch Xu had no expression on his face.  But Empress Meng was confiscated from the palace, and the scene of abolishing the queen was just like yesterday.  It's not that Empress Meng really practiced witchcraft, it's just that Liu Shi, the favorite concubine of the late emperor, took a fancy to the empress's throne; and the prime minister at that time, Gong Zhang Dun, wanted to join Liu Shi, so he bribed Empress Meng's natal family's unworthy disciples, and did it.  buckle.

    Although Song Zhezong didn't want to abolish the empress, Mr. Zhang Daxiang made the case an iron case: through Guo Xianren's first complaint, it was proved that the witchcraft weapon used by Guangzaoyuan was the first avenue of Bianjing to watch the Lingxu Palace, unjustly killed  He took an exam to go to Beijing to rush for the exam, and made it with his ashes.  Afterwards, Jia Yi, the only daughter of Jia Taoist in the Taiyi Hall of the main hall of Lingxu Palace, used the guide and documents of the unjustly murdered person to participate in the general examination, and was taken out.  The evidence against the Lingxu Palace was confirmed, the palace and temple were confiscated, and the Taoists were either executed or exiled.

    "Thiswhy did Jia Yi do this?" Eunuch Liu and Zhang Luo spoke in unison with their eyes dazed.

    Eunuch Xu looked at Zhang Luo, didn't bother to talk to her, turned around and left.

    Behind the west wall of Douyuan Courtyard, Taoist Priest Shuo Shu was also lying in the dog hole at the bottom of the wall to eavesdrop.  His senior brother stepped on his shoulders, peeping at Eunuch Xu, Eunuch Liu and Zhang Luo from behind a pile of snow.

    "Good luck! Since she is not dead, why not call her herself and dig her own roots." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
