Providing benefits to the servants in the palace has been an unwritten rule since ancient times. In the past, in the Daliang Palace, Qin Luan did the same thing whenever he entered the palace.
The chamberlain resisted, "Miss Qin, you're too polite. How can I accept you for such a trivial matter..."
Qin Luan forced him to say, "Thank you for your guidance, my father-in-law. I have just arrived in Southern Chu not long ago and have little experience. The queen promoted me unexpectedly. I am afraid that I will not be valued by the queen. I hope that my father-in-law will give me some advice in the future."
The chamberlain couldn't resist, so he accepted it with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Qin. If you say so, I will accept it."
Qin Luan also smiled.
The chamberlain sent Qin Luan to Xie Yuan, then returned to the imperial study.
After returning to the imperial study, the chamberlain took the initiative to take out the ingot of silver given by Qin Luan and reported Qin Luan's original words to Su Rong.
Su Rong had just finished changing into his regular clothes and was about to leave the palace when he heard this and raised his eyebrows.
The chamberlain looked at Su Rong cautiously, "My lady, did I do something wrong? Shouldn't I have said those words to Miss Qin?"
"That's right." Su Rongxiao, "It's such a small thing, it doesn't hurt to talk about it."
She brushed her sleeves and sighed, "It's just that sister Qin Ruo is a little too smart. I saw it when I was in Daliang East Palace. She is full of thoughts. She and Qin Ruo are really different."
Qin Ruo could rest assured that she could use it, but Qin Luan made her feel that she was almost in trouble. Women can be smart, but they are too smart, think too deeply, and have too many thoughts. It is a bit unpleasant to care so much about her and Zhou Gu.
But she is still somewhat capable. When the Qin family fell, she was able to seek help from Zhou Gu through Qin Ruo, and Zhan moved to the East Palace without suffering along with the Qin family. She could also take the opportunity to express her desire to come to Nanchu with her, which shows her thoughts. Plan. Although she did not agree to her, through her, she remembered that she had a brother Qin Ruo, who brought Qin Ruo to Nanchu for a while, and she also came to Nanchu through his brother, which shows that her plan was not useless.
Now, even if he failed in the examination, he was reminded of her when she promoted the granddaughter of the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Hubu, and she was also given an official position, so he still entered her court. Although the process was different from when she wanted to follow her, the result was the same goal.
The chamberlain handed over the money and asked tentatively: "If this Miss Qin enters the palace again, my servants will pay more attention to her."
"You keep the money." Su Rong waved his hand, "Just report the matter."
She packed up and walked out of the imperial study, followed by Lanzhi and Biqing.
Lanzhi whispered: "Master, Miss Qin still doesn't understand you well enough. If she really understood you, she would know why there are such slaves around you who are so eager to betray the master when they see money? When we were in Jiangning County, your There will be no traitors around you, but any trouble will be reported to you, let alone in the palace now. Can a servant who can serve in the imperial study be bought with a piece of silver? Miss Qin is too So naive.”
Bi Qing also nodded and whispered: "This Miss Qin is really as the master said. She is too smart, so she doesn't know whether she is smart or stupid. What's more, the master has been surrounded by assassins since she was a child. Now that she is the prince, she is even more careful. Defeat it, she treats a little chambermaid as an ordinary chamberlain, thinking that a silver coin can seal the seal, what are you thinking, it's impossible."
Su Ronxiao said, "It seems that she has not really let go of her worries."
"Okay, just remember that I am using her people and she is easy to use." Su Rong felt that for Qin Ruo's sake, she could tolerate some hospitality to Qin Luan. Lanzhi and Biqing stopped talking after hearing this.
At this time, Zhou Gu had already arrived at Cui Mansion, met Cui Gong, and told him that he was leaving the capital and heading to the three southern states.
Mr. Cui frowned immediately, "Why so sudden? I haven't heard anything from you in the past few days."
Zhou Gu explained a few words, and then sighed, "It is indeed sudden, so Su Rong was angry with me and asked me to come to find you, grandfather, and bring more people. You know, my people have been lost long ago, and the new secret guards , haven’t been cultivated yet.”
"Well, what the concubine is thinking about is that if the three southern states really have the Nangong family's trump card, you really can't take less people. In particular, you have to bring tiger talismans and secretly deploy good troops." Cui Gong thought about it, "Don't They are too arrogant. The Nangong family has been entrenched in Nanchu for many years. Even if they withdraw from Nanchu after a complete defeat, some of their hidden cards may not be exposed and withdrawn. They may be waiting for a backstab in the hinterland one day."
Zhou Gu nodded, "That's what I'm worried about."
"Originally, most of the people I asked Xingzhi to bring were for you, but after the war, you returned to the capital but did not stay with you. Now you have taken them all away." Cui Gong thought for a while and then said: "Let your fourth uncle and fourth aunt bring the Guishamen people with you to prevent them from staying in the capital, eating and drinking and having fun."
Zhou Gu suddenly thanked him but said, "They two are incompatible with each other, so why don't we let them go?"
Cui Gong laughed angrily, "Don't look at these two ordinary people who are indifferent, but they have different benefits from ordinary people when they travel. When they were young, they took Xiao Yanjin around to play, but later when Xiao Yanjin had to go to school I reluctantly returned to the family when I was Tang's age. They have rich experience in the world, which will be good for you when you are away from home."
Zhou Gu nodded when he heard the words, "Okay, since grandpa, you said so, then I will take them with me, but are they willing to come with me?"
"I'm sure I am willing." Cui Gong said behind him, "Go and call those two **** to come see me."
Someone should be there and go immediately.
Cui Yuanbin and Liu Yuying didn't leave the mansion today, mainly because they were tired of playing with the King of Southern Chu. They didn't want to go out today, but they were bored in the mansion. One of them was lying on the bed in a daze, and the other was lying on the imperial concubine. Sitting on the chair, I was thinking about where to go to play tomorrow.
Mr. Cui sent someone to call. The two looked at each other. Cui Yuanbin stood up lazily and asked the person, "What is uncle calling us for?"
He wondered if he didn't like them. Seeing that they didn't go out today, he took the opportunity to teach them a lesson.
The visitor smiled and said, "The Fourth Young Master is here."
“Oh, Zhou Gu is here.” Cui Yuanbin immediately became energetic and relieved after hearing this, “Then you are definitely not trying to lecture us.”
Liu Yuying gave Cui Yuanbin an angry look, "Let's go quickly, don't keep uncle and Zhou Gu waiting for a long time."
So the two of them quickly went to see him.
When Cui Gong saw the two of them, he said directly: "You guys pack up and follow Zhou Gu on a long journey. You listen to Zhou Gu all the way. You can do whatever he asks you to do. This time you are following him out to do big things. You are not allowed to do that." Cause trouble for him, otherwise it will ruin his business, and you don't have to go home, you can go wherever you like." (End of Chapter)
