The Golden Age

Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Qin Xiao knew very well that Wu Tianbao was warm and polite to him, and there must be a reason behind it.

However, Wu Tianbao acted generously and had a quaint atmosphere. At least when he was in contact with him, he was very comfortable, and he was not disgusted with the second master of the Taipinghui.

Aunt Rong’s face was extremely ugly, but he really didn’t know where the young man came from. He didn’t dare to offend him. He glanced at Qiuniang and saw that Qiuniang was also looking at him with strange eyes. There was no mockery in that look. Lulu, Jing seems to be thinking about something.

Yuan Wai Lang Qian Zhao lost face and was quite embarrassed, but he did not dare to have an attack in front of Wu Tianbao. He gave Qin Xiao a cold look, then turned and left. Upon seeing this, Aunt Rong hurriedly followed with a few others. .

Aunt Rong's group left in embarrassment. Qin Xiao only glanced at Qiuniang, only to see Qiuniang looking at Aunt Rong's back, startled and thoughtful.

"Master Qin, I will arrange an elegant room for you on the second floor." Wu Tianbao said: "The people downstairs are a bit noisy. No one in the elegant room dare to disturb. Clean it up."

Qin Xiao doesn't really care where he eats.

However, he knows that Qiuniang is still somewhat uncomfortable with this environment, and will leave Kyoto in a few days. Before leaving, he intends to invite Qiuniang to have a meal here. If Qiuniang feels restrained all the time, it would be great. Against my own intentions.

Going to a separate room on the second floor will naturally make you feel more comfortable.

He did not reject Wu Tianbao’s kindness, took Qiuniang to the private room on the second floor, and said a few more words with Wu Tianbao, and then smiled: "Second Lord Wu, Lord Shi Lang is still waiting for you to greet you, just Leave me alone."

Wu Tianbao then remembered that there was still a group of people who were going to say hello, so he went upstairs first without disturbing him.

Since it is a very important guest of Wu Erye, the cooking speed of the back cook is naturally much faster.

Although Qin Xiao only ordered four dishes, the dishes served quickly filled the table, cold dishes and hot dishes, no matter the pattern or taste, they were naturally impeccable.

In addition, two jars of fine wine were specially sent here.

Qin Xiao secretly thought that Wu Tianbao's work would not leak, and it is no wonder that he would be here in a place like Kyoto.

It’s just that Qiuniang looks very worried. Ever since she saw that Aunt Rong, she has never shown a smile on her face. The two willow-like beauty is always slightly frowned, even after she arrives in the elegant room, she faces fullness. The table delicacies did not mean to move the chopsticks, just sitting there, thoughtfully, Qin Xiao yelled softly, Qiuniang didn't even hear it in her thoughts, which made Qin Xiao quite surprised and her voice louder. Some: "Sister Qiu Niang, what's wrong with you?"

"Huh?" Qiuniang raised her head to look at Qin Xiao, only then came to her senses. It seemed that she found a table full of dishes at this time, and said: "Why are there so many dishes? We... we can't finish eating. ."

"Second Master Wu is polite, since I have come up, it's not good to refuse." Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Anyway, we can't finish eating, let's pack it back, just in time for Brother Gu to try it too."

Qiuniang nodded slightly, thinking that Qin Xiao's idea was very good. It was certain that this table of dishes could not be finished. Packing it back was the best solution.

"What are you thinking?" Qin Xiao moved to sit next to Qiuniang. This is a round table, antique. Qin Xiao originally sat opposite Qiuniang, but now he is close to the past. Although he is not sitting next to his body, it is in the middle. After a chair, he whispered: "Since you saw that Aunt Rong, you have been unconscious. Is she your relative?"

Qiuniang shook her head and said, "No, but...but I knew it before."

"Oh?" Qin Xiao heard that he was not Qiuniang's relatives, so he was relieved. After all, he had mocked Aunt Rong in the public before, so that Aunt Rong had no face. As long as it was not Qiuniang's relatives, Qin Xiao had nothing in his heart. Burdened, and asked, "How does Ms. Qiu Niang call her aunt? I see her arrogant, she likes to be popular."

"She was like that." Qiuniang ridiculed: "The temperament I have developed over many years can't be changed."

Qin Xiao was quite interested. He picked up the chopsticks and put some dishes for Qiuniang, and said, "Taste the taste and say while eating. By the way, who is she? The member named Qian Zhao called her aunt, she Is it the official family member?"

Qiuniang stopped talking, but hesitated. Qin Xiao saw it and hurriedly smiled: "If it is not convenient to say, let's not talk about it. It doesn't matter. Come on, the weather is cold, and eat it quickly. It won’t taste cold later. it is good."

Qiuniang sighed and finally said: "Actually, there is nothing inconvenient to say, she...she turned out to be from the palace."

"People in the palace?" Qin Xiao was startled, and said suspiciously, "Is it the palace lady in the palace?"

"She is a member of the Sixth Bureau of the Palace, and she will not be served by the nobles." Qiuniang said: "I remember that she had been in charge of medicine in the Shangshi Bureau and was in charge of the medicine for witches in the palace. She was released, but...I haven't seen her for many years."

Qin Xiao became more and more surprised. Looking at Qiuniang, he wondered: "She is from the palace, how do you know the palace...!" Suddenly realized something, and said in surprise: "Qiu Sister, could it be that...are you also coming out of the palace?"

Qiuniang smiled reluctantly, nodded slightly, and said, "I only came out of the palace three years ago and spent many years at Sicai of Shang Palace."

"This...what does this Si Cai mean?"

"The six bureaus and twenty-four divisions in the palace, of which the Shanggong Bureau has four divisions: Division System, Sibao, Si Cai, and Si Zhi. Si Cai specializes in the management of silk, which is silk." Qiuniang explained: "I am here. The palace specializes in managing the harem’s silk and silk library with people. The nobles in the palace need silk and silk, and they will take the list above and come to us to get the silk and satin."

"So that's the case." Qin Xiao suddenly realized. At this time, he thought that Wu Tianbao had given gifts not long ago. Qiuniang was very interested in the silk and satin she gave. At that time, she only thought it was the nature of women to love silk and satin. Now it seems that it is not that simple. .

I couldn't help but think of the non-character plaques in Qiuniang's room, but I can't ask about it when I know this. I can only smile: "Sister Qiuniang came out of the palace. I... I am today. just got it."

Qiuniang thought that you have only known me for a few days, so should you know everything?But still said: "You never asked."

"So you and Aunt Rong are both from the palace?"

Qiuniang said: "My father passed away too early and the family was difficult to maintain. My mother became ill from overwork. Later my father came to us and said that he could send me to the palace. There are still some silver cases every month, which can subsidize the family. I was only ten years old at that time and sold to a wealthy family as a slave. I would be a slave and maid for the rest of my life. If I could enter the palace, I would be able to get out of the palace when I was older, and I would be free, so my mother agreed. But I did. Within a year of the palace, his mother passed away. Fortunately, before his mother's death, Bai Yi was sent to Zhiming Academy. Fuzi Wei from the academy had a good heart. Knowing that she was helpless, she accepted the white clothes as his son, so Bai Yi was knowing fate. The dean grew up and followed Master Wei to study sensibly, and later also because of Master Wei’s relationship.

Bai Yi entered Kyoto Prefecture as a errand."

"Zhimingyuan?" Qin Xiao's body was shocked, his face changed color, and he whispered: "Sister Qiu Niang, you...you are talking about Zhimingyuan?"

Of course he will not forget Zhimeiin.

When Hongye assisted him in escaping from the turtle city, he solemnly explained to himself that if it is really a matter of life and death in the mountains and rivers, he can go to Kyoto to find Zhimingyuan, and he must not forget this place.

Qin Xiao remembered the three words Zhimingyuan still fresh.

However, this time when I entered Beijing, I really did not expect Zhimingyuan. At this time, Qiu Niang suddenly mentioned that the memory hidden in her mind was immediately released.

Chimeiin!

Hongye asked himself to find Zhimingyuan when the mountains and rivers were exhausted. He had been wondering what exactly is Zhimingyuan. At this time, Qiu Niang mentioned it, and finally understood that Zhimingyuan was actually an academy.

Gu Baiyi grew up in Zhiming Academy.

"Why, do you know Chiming Academy?" Qiu Niang saw Qin Xiao reacting a little strangely, wondering: "Chiming Academy is a very common academy in Kyoto. There are dozens of academies in Kyoto, but Chiming Academy is not very impressive. There are eight major academies in Kyoto. , Chimei-in Temple can’t be included either. Many people know the fame of the eight major academies in Kyoto, but the reputation of Chimei-in Temple is too small and not many people know about it.”

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, but did not speak.

"After my mother passed away, I was taken care of by Master Wei from the Zhimingyuan in Baiyi, so I would feel at ease in the palace." Qiuniang explained, "I am not a draft pick and enter the palace. I enter the palace only as a servant, so I can leave the palace once a year. You can send your savings to Bai Yi. Although Master Wei is kind-hearted, I can't allow Bai Yi to eat and drink for nothing. Although the amount of silver accumulated every year is not much, I can also subsidize Bai Yi." There was a moment of silence, as if thinking of a lot of the past in the palace, Qin Xiao didn't bother, looking at Qiuniang, he was also thoughtful.

For a while, Qiuniang finally sighed: "After the saint ascended the throne, naturally there will be no more drafts in the palace. Although there will be new talents entering the palace every year, more palace guests are released every year, and the nobles in the palace are also Those concubines and concubines need fewer and fewer court ladies, but more and more eunuchs enter the palace every year. When the first emperor was there, the harem concubines and eunuchs each accounted for half. When I was out of the palace, the eunuchs in the palace Eunuchs accounted for 70%, and there will only be fewer and fewer ladies in the palace in the future."

"Before you left the palace, Brother Gu worked as a errand in Kyoto Prefecture?" Qin Xiao finally figured out Qiuniang's previous experience at this time.

He was actually a little strange before. Although Qiuniang was in the market, she didn't have the slightest sense of vulgarity when she walked. She was not too courageous, but she really shrank and low self-esteem when she really saw the Daguan nobles. Now she knows Qiu. My mother used to be a errand in the palace, and she instantly understood.

In the palace, Qiuniang's words and deeds have naturally undergone rigorous training, and after all, she has seen those nobles in the palace. Then she will be a little bit courageous when she goes out of the palace to face the hooligans, but because of her background For high officials and nobles, there is naturally a sense of inferiority.

This also explains why Qiuniang is nearly thirty years old, yet still not married.

"He has been working in Kyoto Prefecture for many years." Qiuniang smiled: "After I left the palace, I used the savings I saved to buy a yard in Kushui Alley and live with him, so it was convenient to take care of him. He was alone and alone. It's almost 20 years. Naturally, my elder sister should treat him well."

Qin Xiao sighed in his heart, thinking to himself that you were alone in the palace for so many years.
