Chapter 030 Official Letter
Fangyue took the order and went there. Zhang Jieyu sat in front of the dressing table again, put some rouge on her cheeks, looked around, but she saw that the person in the mirror was full of spirit and had no illness. She was satisfied.
At this moment, she was completely calmed down.
Sibu is in the seventh rank and specializes in managing famous palace masters, but it has nothing to do with her master.
In addition, Lin Siburen is not bad, and he has a good relationship with Qian Shoufang. I believe he will not be as difficult as Feng Shanggong.
After his heart was settled, Concubine Zhang finally had the time to think about something. For example, if Lin Sibu came here this time, would it be that Luo Xicui had news?
Whether it is death or life, it is not a bad thing to get a certain letter.
Just as Liu Xilian came, Concubine Zhang ordered her to clean up the main room again and replace the tea with a new one.
Just after the door was cleaned up, the Zhuqi courtyard gate was pushed open. Wang Xiaochun and Qian Shoufang walked in with a woman in the palace dress.
Concubine Zhang stood beside the curtain and looked at it, and saw that the person coming was Lin Shouxiang.
Lin Shouxiang and Qian Shoufang are of the same generation. They were both different from each other back then and were quite familiar with each other. Therefore, when they entered the door, the two of them were talking and laughing.
"Which gust of wind blows us Lord Sibu? It's really your arrival, our yard is a little brighter." Qian Shoufang held Lin Shouxiang's hand, smiled warmly, and could not see the coldness of the past.
Lin Shouxiangyuan was the same age as her, but she seemed a few years younger than her and looked quite handsome. At this time, she also smiled and said, "I haven't seen each other for many days, and you are more and more joking."
While talking, she did not forget Wang Xiaochun and said warmly: "You have greeted me from afar, but I really can't get through. The weather is hot, aren't you hot?"
Wang Xiaochun joked: "Our family is not as good as 700 years old, so Lin Sibu looks down on our legs, right?"
Lin Shouxiang laughed as he said, "This is mine. If Eunuch Wang is angry, you can just hit me twice."
Several people were laughing and standing by the door and talking a few gossips before turning to the veranda of hand-copying.
When Zhang Jieyu saw this, she quickly turned around and sat in the armchair. She could hear the sounds outside the curtains, but the light and steady footsteps appeared and disappeared.
After a few more breaths, he heard Qian Shoufang personally circulating a message outside the curtain: "Report to the master, Lin Sibu from Shanggong Bureau is here."
"Please come in quickly." Concubine Zhang said in a harmonious voice.
Liu Xilian immediately stepped forward, raised the Hunan curtain, and let the three of them into the house.
"Please treat me to Concubine Jie." As soon as he entered the house, Lin Shouxiang should squat down and greet him first.
Zhang Jieyu took her half gift and said with a smile: "Please sit down and talk." She looked back and ordered someone to come and say: "Come on, send Lin Sibu a bowl of tea. The weather is so hot this day, so drink a few sips to moisten your throat."
Qian Shoufang had already come with a teacup in person, put it on the small table beside Lin Shouxiang, and then retreated aside.
"This is not allowed." Lin Shouxiang refused to sit down, but said respectfully: "The Concubine Jie is on the top, where can I sit on the ground? Don't be polite, let me stand and talk."
Seeing that she was so polite, the uneasiness in Zhang Jieyu's heart also dissipated, slowly shaking the fan in her hand, and laughed: "Since that's the case, I don't force myself to persuade you. I just don't know what you are doing? But for Luo Xicui's business?"
Lin Shouxiang bowed and said, "Return to the Empress, Luo Xicui's affairs are not yet written yet. I have something else to do when I come."
As she said that, she took out a official letter from behind and presented it to her hands: "I am ordered to transfer people. This is a document. Please check it out."
Zhang Jieyu's hand shaking the fan immediately paused.
Transfer people?
Where does this start?
She has insufficient staff here, so who else should I transfer?
As soon as this thought came, she couldn't sit still and turned her head to Qian Shoufang.
Qian Shoufang understood, took two steps forward, and said to Lin Shouxiang with a smile: "Lin Sibu please give me the official letter, I will read it to my master."
Lin Shouxiang had no objection and handed over the official letter to her.
Concubine Zhang is illiterate.
This is very common in the harem of Daqi.
Not to mention a little concubine, even the high-ranking concubines in the East and West Palaces were ignorant. On the contrary, some eunuchs and maids, who had the opportunity to enter the palace, could go to the Nei Shu Hall to study for several years, so many people knew how to read.
Speaking of Nei Shutang, we have to mention Emperor Taizu.
Emperor Taizu was born in a turbulent family. He led his men to conquer the country and sat on a dragon throne. Because he was not very good at reading, he set up the twenty-four yamen in the palace, including a ritual supervisor, which was responsible for His Majesty's writing and ink affairs. The Nei Shutang was born.
At that time, most of the eunuchs who were studying and practicing calligraphy in Neishu Hall would serve as servants in the Sili Superintendent to share the worries of the emperor's documents. Later, when he saw that there were many scholars in the palace, Emperor Taizu simply waved his hand and set up the Neishu Hall. All eunuchs or palace maids who were over ten years old in the palace could be admitted to school, and they would take part in the school for three or five years.
At first, the Nei Shutang was taught by a great scholar, and later changed to the classics and poets to teach them. In addition to the most common three, hundreds, and thousands of things that were learned, the Book of Filial Piety, the Great, the Doctrine of the Mean, the Analects of Confucius, etc., were also listed. Some of the smart and ambitious ones could learn more deeply.
Therefore, Qian Shoufang and Wang Xiaochun both knew how to read, and it was common for them to read official letters on their behalf.
After taking the official letter, Qian Shoufang stepped back to the side of the case and stood there. He opened it and looked closely, and his expression changed immediately.
Seeing this, Concubine Zhang immediately raised her heart to her throat.
Don’t be afraid of anything, what’s wrong with this?
She tried her best not to let herself show her beauty, but her heart was always pounding and she couldn't calm down no matter how she did.
What words have you written about Lengxiang Pavilion recently? It's impossible to stop every day. When the matter is over today, she really has to copy two scriptures to suppress this unhealthy trend.
She frowned and said nothing, and there was also silence in the room, as if she even had the sound of breathing.
The ultimate silence seemed to have a substance, and even the Fangqin standing outside the corridor listening to it seemed a little strange.
She couldn't help but turn her head quietly and looked behind her.
Behind him was the densely closed Hunan curtain. Because he was carrying a light on his back, he couldn't see the situation in the house. However, the wind was passing by, and the glass beads hanging under the curtain collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
Fangqin lowered her head, frowned tightly, and a deep sadness appeared on her face, which seemed to be several years old.
Just now, she heard Fangyue say that the one who came to the door today was the aunt Sibu of Shanggong Bureau, who was responsible for the famous names of these palace ladies.
When she first heard the news, she was really shocked.
Because she had heard from the old man in the palace that there was an unwritten rule in this palace that no one who had relatives could serve in the same place.
