"You met Aunt Rong in the palace." Qin Xiao said, "One of you is in Shangshi Bureau and the other is in Shanggong Bureau. Do you have a lot of contact with each other?" Comfortable.

Qiuniang shook her head and said, "I just entered the palace and just followed the rules. At that time, she was already working in the Shangshi Bureau." Qiuniang explained: "I entered the palace at the age of ten and learned the rules for half a year. Later, I was assigned to Shangshi. She worked as a handyman in the bureau and was assigned to the Department of Medicine. At that time, she was still in the medicine department, but she had a bad temper and often beat and scolded us little palace ladies. I accidentally took the wrong thing that day, she... She pierced me with a hairpin, and I cried out bitterly. It happened that sister Hui, who was next to the concubine Wei, came to fetch the medicine. Seeing her beat me, she protected me and told Concubine Wei about it after returning. Empress, the concubine is not only good-looking, but also kind-hearted, so she sent someone to take me to the Yuhua Palace and let me work as a errand in the Yuhua Palace."

"Yuhua Palace?"

"The Empress Nuo was very much loved by the first emperor. Not only was she named a noble concubine, she also gave the palace where she lived, the palace where she lived." A slight smile appeared on Qiu Niang's lips when she mentioned that empress. The beautiful eyes even showed respect: "I am waiting for the concubine wife. She is kind. Seeing that I am young, she treats me like my own daughter. Even if I do something wrong, she will not scold me. And...she also taught me to paint, and she would reward me with delicious food. By the way, the concubine wife gave me a name called Late Autumn. Later, everyone called me like that in the palace. ."

Qin Xiao thought that since Qiuniang said this, it seemed that the concubine empress was indeed a gentle and kind-hearted person. If Qiuniang entered the palace, it would be a blessing to meet such a master.

"Later, Empress Wei concubine was pregnant with the prince, so she did not allow others to serve her, so I only let Sister Hui and I be by her side." Qiuniang whispered: "It's just that I have been with Empress Wei for less than a year. , I was transferred to Shanggong Bureau. Someone said behind my back that I was too young to take care of my concubine and empress, so I was transferred away. But at Shanggong Bureau, I can also visit my empress from time to time, but... .. Not long after I was transferred, the empress became seriously ill. Not long after I heard that the prince had a miscarriage due to the illness, the prince did not save her, and the concubine empress also died of illness."

Qin Xiao was startled and lost his voice: "Is your mother sick and dying?"

Qiuniang showed sadness and nodded: "Yes, after I knew it, I cried for many days. But within half a year, the first emperor died, and the saint soon became the throne. Many of the palace ladies were released and left. The young palace lady was left behind. At that time, I was still young and didn’t let me go out of the palace. I stayed in Shanggong Bureau. I stayed there for 14 years. Sister Hui was also released from the palace a long time ago. Later I learned In the palace, except Empress Wife and Sister Hui treat me well, no one else has a good intention."

Qin Xiao knew that the intrigue in the palace was harsh, and Qiuniang should have suffered a lot in it.

"When I was in the Shanggong Bureau, I often met with Aunt Rong in the palace." Qiuniang said lightly: "She is an old palace lady in the palace. When we meet, we must call her aunt. Every time she sees her I will tell everyone around me that I am the little palace lady she trained, saying that I am clumsy and can’t do things, making fun of me in front of many people, anyway, I always avoid her in the palace. But ten years ago She has already left the palace, she manages

With medicine, the nobles in the palace take medicine. If the status is high, she will send it to her personally, just to get some reward. When she left the palace, she saved a lot of money."

"So that's the case." Qin Xiao said: "The Yuan Wai Lang, whose surname is Qian, is quite respectful to her, and naturally has gained her a lot of benefits.

"After she left the palace, I never saw her again." Qiuniang shook her head and said, "I don't know much about her. However, she has met many nobles in the palace because of her deception. The one with the surname Qian is her nephew. If he can be an official, he should have something to do with her."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly and wanted to see Qian Zhao's attitude towards Aunt Rong before. It seemed that Qian Zhao could be a foreigner, but Aunt Rong used her own contacts.

With her status and connections in the palace, it is already the limit to make her nephew a foreigner.

"What about Sister Hui?" Qin Xiao hadn't forgotten the Sister Hui mentioned by Qiuniang. The only people who knew that Qiuniang treated her well in the palace were Concubine Wife and Wan Qiu. If Sister Hui hadn't met Aunt Rong and bullied Qiuniang, Going back to report it, it is naturally impossible for the wife to transfer Qiuniang to the palace.

Speaking of which, Sister Hui is also Qiuniang's benefactor.

She was able to help Qiuniang out of righteousness, and her heart was naturally very pure and kind. Although Qin Xiao had never seen it, she had a good impression of that sister Hui in her heart.

"Sister Hui was transferred to the Siyuan of the Shangying Bureau after the death of the Concubine Wei, where she planted fruits and vegetables in the palace, but after the saint became the throne, Sister Hui was the first group of palace people to be released." Qiuniang said: "Sister Hui was only twenty years old when she went out of the palace. The first batch of those who went out of the palace were older palace maids. Not many of them went out of the palace early at her age. And her family background is also very good. Her father served as the county guard in Guangling County, Xuzhou. When she was sixteen, she was drafted into the palace. Although she was unsuccessful, she still stayed with her concubine."

Qin Xiao said, "So she has returned to Guangling to marry?"

Qiuniang smiled and said: "She returned to Guangling, but now in Kyoto. After she returned to Guangling, she married a protégé of her father. Later, her father helped his protégé open the door and enter Beijing as an official. In front of the errand of Guanglu Temple Cheng, she is also an official wife. Her father has already paid her official duties, but she has an elder brother who is an official collaborator."

"It seems that Sister Hui really has some background." Qin Xiao felt comfortable after hearing this. He felt that it would be a great thing for someone like Sister Hui to have a good home, and smiled: "Then you can often see Sister Hui? "

Qiuniang nodded her head slightly, her pretty face became dignified, and she said softly: "Sister Hui came to Kyoto with her husband six years ago. After I left the palace, she found me. Knowing that I had nowhere to go after I left the palace, she asked me to go to her. I do things in the mansion. It’s just that I have seen a lot of intrigue in the palace. There are also many servants in sister Hui’s mansion. If I enter the mansion, I have to stay with many people. I don’t like that day. As long as you and Bai Yi can eat three meals a day and have a full stomach."

"Sister Hui's husband is Guanglu Temple Cheng, and his elder brother is a staff doctor, so they are not bad. Why don't you talk to Sister Hui and let them take Brother Gu?"

Qiuniang immediately said: "Don't say this in front of Bai Yi. Bai Yi has been in Kyoto for so many years, and has always been just a clerical man. He doesn't like to deal with people, let alone understand.

He was greeted to please his boss, and the people in Kyoto Prefecture didn't wait to see him. There were not many, but not a lot, and no one thought of promoting him.It doesn't matter in white clothes, as long as he has enough salary to buy books every month, he will be satisfied.I once told him that Bai Yi was very upset by asking Sister Hui to help him. He also said that I would really do this, and he didn't even want to do the clerical work.Sighed: "White has no utilitarian heart, doesn't care about his own future, nor is he interested in getting promoted."

Qin Xiao thought that it was possible that Gu Baiyi didn't want to make a fortune, but he might not care about his future.

It's just that Gu Baiyi clearly sees through the corruption and incompetence of the officialdom. From his words, he can clearly feel his disappointment with the court. However, when he joins the group of officials with corpse positions, Gu Baiyi is naturally unwilling in his heart.

Gu Baiyi usually looks calm and calm, and looks harmless to humans and animals, but he sees the problem sharply and is talented. If he really has the opportunity to give him the best use of what he has learned, he may not refuse.

"But... These days, Sister Hui is in trouble." Qiuniang hesitated and sighed, a worried expression appeared between her eyebrows.

Qin Xiaoqi said: "Trouble? What's the trouble?" I thought that sister Hui's husband is Guanglu Temple Cheng, and her brother is a staff doctor. These two people are protecting her, and she can't find her in ordinary trouble.

Qiuniang stopped talking. Seeing Qin Xiao looking at herself, obviously waiting to explain the situation, she sighed softly, "I'm afraid you don't believe it." It was actually Qin Xiao who approached Qin Xiao slightly and said in a low voice: "Hui There are ghosts in my sister's house, she...she said there are ghosts haunting her."

Qin Xiao was taken aback, couldn't help raising his hand to touch his nose, and said, "The ghost haunts her? Whose ghost?"

The two only talked and didn't eat food, but Qin Xiao was very interested in ghost matters, and Qiuniang hadn't moved her chopsticks. After thinking about it, she whispered, "It's a maid in her house."

"Tell me, what's going on?" Qin Xiao separated a chair from Qiuniang, and kept listening to Qiuniang's words slightly forward. At this time, he couldn't help sitting directly beside the empty chair and approaching Qiuniang: "What's the matter with the maid?"

Qiuniang said: "This happened two months ago. A maid named Liancui broke a vase that Sister Hui liked very much. Sister Hui was in a bad mood at the time, so she scolded her a few words. Who knew that Lian Cui maid died suddenly after two days."

Qin Xiao was startled, frowning, Qiuniang lowered her voice and said, "Lian Cui died very strangely. The maid who was in the same room with her said that that night, Lian Cui thought she was asleep and secretly got out of the room. The maid was a little weird, thinking she was going to the hut, so she didn’t take care of it. The next morning, it was discovered that Liancui’s body was in the well. So everyone thought that it was sister Hui who scolded Liancui that day. Feeling sad, she jumped into the well and committed suicide. Sister Hui was very sad when she knew that Lian Cui had committed suicide. Not only did she give Lian Cui's family a sum of money, when she was buried, Sister Hui personally sent it off.

"and after?"

"Lian Cui happened two months ago." Qiuniang's voice was very soft, and she was very close to Qin Xiao: "After the burial, everyone thought that the matter would end here, but... not more than half a month, Sister Hui woke up in the middle of the night and saw Lian Cui's ghost, she was so frightened that she was frightened."
