The restoration of the main hall of Douyuan Court had not started yet, so we had no choice but to set up an incense burner under the shed of the main courtyard to burn incense and receive orders.
Eunuch Zhang stood facing south, smiling all over his face. Seeing that eunuch Liu hurriedly dragged Zhang Luo over, he was very careful to allow Zhang Luo to catch his breath for a while before receiving the order.
Outside the walls of Douyuan Courtyard, there are eunuchs and maids with jealous eyes, who come to see the great wealth bestowed by the emperor.
After all, it has been a long time since Douyuan Courtyard and the nearby functional courts have gotten anything.
On both sides of the censer stood six or seven small internal officials who often accompanied Eunuch Zhang, each holding a tray.
Eunuch Liu hurriedly held Zhang Luo down and told her to kowtow.
Eunuch Zhang muttered a lot. It's a pity that Zhang Luo only understood the last two characters "Qinzai". Just as she was about to get up, Eunuch Liu held her down again: "I haven't told you to get up yet."
Eunuch Zhang kindly came over and helped Zhang Luo up with his own hands:
"Accountant Zhang is being favored, it doesn't get in the way, it doesn't get in the way. These are special rewards from the Holy One."
He specially opened the third tray and showed Zhang Luo the patterns and stitches of the vermilion fabric: "The official family originally said that they would 'reward two pieces of clothing and jewelry'. Our family specially added some more for accountant Zhang"
Zhang Luo hurriedly bowed his head and expressed his thanks.
Eunuch Zhang joked a few more words before leading the young eunuchs to put down their things and leave the gate of Douyuan Court.
Eunuch Liu happily picked up his clothes and jewelry, and held up an emerald-studded hairpin:
"My lady has been on the rise since then. Not to mention the 'Junjun' and 'Mrs. Guo' ladies in the pavilion even Lady Li from Minghua Pavilion has never seen such a reward after entering the palace!"
What he meant was that if Zhang Luo wanted to bring her into the palace, he should spend some money as a filial piety.
Who knew that Zhang Luo asked, "Master Liu, why don't we do business?"
"?"
"I'll give you a piece of jewelry or clothes, and you'll give me Jiuguanwen?" Zhang Luo looked at the colorful embroidery, fabrics, and pearls, jade and gold leaves, all of which seemed to be more valuable than Jiuguanwen.
Eunuch Liu saw that half or half of the heads of the watching crowd were exposed on the wall, and quickly let go of his hands:
"Don't dare! This is a gift from the gods, and people will lose their heads!"
"Don't be afraid, I won't say it, you won't say it"
"No, no, no"
"Think again? Why don't you lend me the two guanwen, I'll turn around"
Before Zhang Luo finished speaking, Eunuch Liu ran away without a trace.
Those who were waiting at the top of the wall, thinking that they could follow along with the reward, also saw that the King Kong rooster in the courtyard was not only unable to pull out a dime, but also gave it backwards, so they all got off the ladder and went their separate ways.
Only then did Master Xu walk slowly, not knowing where to get out. Zhang Luo bared his teeth again and smiled at him.
Master Xu also waved his hand: "The rewards must be kept well."
Facing such a bunch of very good-looking guys who can't be exchanged for money, Zhang Luo was happy at first, but now he was discouraged: where should he collect Jiuguanwen to repay Master Xu's debt?
Because the decree said that in the evening, Zhang Luo would go to receive the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin with Zhensangong Tongguan, so Master Xu sent Zhang Luo to take a nap first, and then the ladies who combed her hair would come to take a bath, comb her hair and dress her.
Only then did Zhang Luo get excited again, unable to sleep, squatting in the pile of clothes, picking things up happily. She also thought that the scarlet lower skirt with the water chestnut yin-yang pattern was the prettiest. Especially with that pine-colored upper jacket, it looks tall and colorful.
But when Zhang Luo woke up, the emerald buds in the skirt and jewelry were gone.
Zhang Luo had no choice but to wear a dark blue plain woven skirt, which was paired with a small floral jacket in the color of waves.
These colors don't set off Jia Yi's complexion very much, and there are only two small plum blossom hairpins on the bun, which are plain and scum.
Zhang Luo felt that he still looked shabby. It's not much different from the unkempt and ridiculed appearance in the morning. But the ladies who combed their hair insisted on agreeing, so she could only huff and blacken her face.
So, when Eunuch Liu came to pick her up, she gave Eunuch Liu a big roll of his eyes.
"Miss Zhang, why are you dressed so plainly when the government rewarded you so much at noon?"
""
Zhang Luo walked in front and didn't talk to her, her skirt was almost flying up.
Seeing that there was no one on either side, Eunuch Liu chased after him and asked in a low voice, "My lady, could it be that the clothes and jewelry are missing?"
theZhang Luo was three points slower.
"Miss, be careful of Master Xu. He is the meanest person, and he has eyes for other people's things. I heard from people in the palace that he gets up early to sweep the streets for people, and picks up things that have been dropped by the palaces. These things have been melted into money. Fat He himself and I heard before that when he was in charge of the tent there was a shortage of money and food."
"Well?"
?This sounds very different from what eunuch Liu said last time that Master Xu is a gentleman.
Zhang Luo couldn't help but stop and look at Eunuch Liu.
"The villain didn't know the details of Mrs. Zhang"
Eunuch Liu covered his mouth with his narrow sleeve: "I heard that after the Song Jiang was begged that year, the military rations and salary were still enough. However, it was only half a month when it was handed over to the treasury, and it could last for a year and a half. It's all eaten up, and the money is short."
"Master Xu took it?"
Zhang Luo couldn't believe it when he thought of Master Xu's appearance.
"Anyway, there is no proof of death. Fortunately, Zhen Sangong had a lot of money and food in his hands, and seeing that Master Xu worked together in Xiaohuangmen back then, he forcibly settled the account. It should be nothing like this."
Eunuch Liu saw that the Forbidden Army in front was coming, so he finished quickly:
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhen Sangong personally tonight why Master Xu accompanied the army to defeat Song thief and Fang Lana, but there was no money reward."
Zhang Luo didn't answer, but the little bag that Master Xu showed her at dawn appeared in front of her eyes. At least, half of what Eunuch Liu said was proved by what she saw with her own eyes.
Zhang Luo couldn't help thinking of his "honesty": he took the initiative to upgrade the promised "Jiguanwen" to the top level of "Jiuguanwen". At that time, even if she could speak two sentences, it was fine. Anyway, from two capitals to nine, it can be counted as a "several".
Not only did Master Xu have the cheek to accept all the bills, but he also sang "Today should pay back the principal and interest" every day.
Those rotten bricks and tiles are not his master Xu's private property! Why should I give him money to coax such a soft-footed guy? !
However, when Master Xu came to find him, gave him bean noodle buns, drank water, and took him home, Zhang Luo still couldn't bear Master Xu.
At this time, both she and Eunuch Liu heard the sound of bells and drums, accompanied by extremely distant strings, bamboos, shengdi.
It turned out that outside the palace city, the guards of honor who went to meet with the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin tonight had already been lined up.
Because Zhen Sangong received the Jurchen envoy on behalf of Shengjia, a golden "little pumpkin" and an ax opened the way at the front of the line. The imperial army and the horses they rode were all wearing gold armor and red shirts. Under the torches in the night, they looked like gods descending from the earth, with the posture that the ground would tremble three times when they stomped their feet.
Zhen Sangong has already sat in the sedan chair, and the sixteen bearers are also dressed as captains of the Imperial Army. On both sides are huge vermilion woven barriers, on which black threads are embroidered with gold and silver threads, embroidered with dark clouds and sea waves.
Followed by musicians and tricksters, some people played, and some people helped to push large musical instruments. At the beginning, there are three pairs of taiko drums arranged in sequence, followed by bells and chimes, and then harp carts, equipped with musical instruments such as ruanqin, pipa, zither, flute, flute, flute, and long and short sticks. of. Afterwards, they followed forty or so girls in red and green, holding incense burners, golden flowers, red corals, etc.
Although Zhang Luo has watched many costume dramas, none of them have such a magnificent scene.
What surprised her even more was that almost half an hour had passed since the first battle started, and the sedan chair at the end of the team she was going to follow had not left the gate of Xinghua Palace in front of her.
After getting into the sedan chair, I finally went up to the imperial street, where there were also colorful lights hanging high.
Throughout the night, most of it was dissolved into the red, pink, green, purple, blue and orange-red lantern light.
When approaching the Bianliang River, Zhang Luo saw a winding river of lights again. Little yellow lights, bit by bit, shone on the Bianliang River, as if the Milky Way was inlaid with gold and turned upside down in the world. There are also high towers and pavilions, and now in the pink light, it really seems to be the East China Sea Dragon Palace that was dreamed and imagined in the past.
The Jurchen messengers who were waiting in the sheds built by the river were also stunned.
During the day, the big man who waited with Yue Yuhou rubbed a pair of thick gold rings on his hands, and said to Wanyan Zongjun:
"Sixth prince, how much lamp oil does this need? I'm afraid that we burned all the food, order, and use of our Dajin Kingdom for three years?"
The other attendants were also dumbfounded.
"How much silver does this cost?"
"Is Song Guo showing off to us?"
"Isn't that too rich? We"
Wanyan Zongjun was happy to watch the excitement. He called some fourteen and five-year-old girls in advance to sing him the most popular ditties in Bianliang. He nodded and listened to the song, while patting the case lightly, he didn't know whether he was answering his subordinates or praising the song girl:
