Vol 2 Chapter 1048: Be careful

In order to relieve Queen Mother Pei, Gu Jiu came up with a simple and rude way.
She brought women from the fifteenth to the eighteenth family to the palace as a female officer.
In addition, the concubines of the first emperor are required to arrange in order of day, and take turns to enter the palace to speak with the Queen Mother to relieve boredom.
After learning about these two methods, Queen Mother Pei almost spewed out a mouthful of nearly sixty years of old blood.
Empress Dowager Pei said angrily: "She is jealous! If you want a woman to enter the palace as a female officer, you should also find a noble woman. She is kind of good, but she found a group of clan women to enter the palace, and she also called it to accompany the palace to speak to relieve boredom. Bah !shameless!"
No marriage with the same surname.
Gu Jiu made a group of clan women enter the palace to be female officials. From the perspective of Empress Dowager Pei, it was clear to prevent anyone from coming to the emperor to flatter them.
"How to be a queen if you are so jealous."
Empress Dowager Pei was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys ached.
She instructed: "Go and inquire, what does the clan say? Isn't it too strong?"
Wengonggong said cautiously: "The old slave knows something."
The Queen Mother glanced at him, "What's the situation?"
Wengonggong hesitated: "In the clan chamber, it seems quite willing to let girls enter the palace as female officials."
"Absurd, how could it be possible!" Empress Dowager Pei didn't believe it.
Wengonggong hurriedly explained: "The age specified by the empress is 15 to 18, and she can go out to the palace for marriage when she reaches the age of 18. The marriage of men and women in the clan is not very good, and many people are not willing to get married with the clan. But. If you have ever been a female official in the palace, marriage is easier. Many official families are willing to marry a daughter-in-law who has been a female official. The rules are good, provided that the age is not too big. So the queen’s move is to win With the support of many clans."
The clan’s reputation is not good, mainly because the clan members do not follow the rules and mess around.
Huyang is a typical example.
Of course, the clan below, without Huyang's confidence and courage, naturally did not dare to learn from Huyang to raise noodles.
But there are not a few men who raise outside rooms.
Eating, drinking, gambling, that is even more common.
Many women have gambling habits.
The smoky air is a part of the clan.
A mouse spoils a pot of soup.
This part of the smoky people, of course, corrupted the reputation of the entire clan.
Fortunately, with the free school, all the boys and girls in the clan were disciplined to avoid bad studies.
So far, it seems that the results are okay and have worked.
The men go to the military camp for two months of drills every year to change the situation.
The women, organized by Xiao Qin'er, do some work, the kind with wages.
But a short-term change is not enough to change the inherent impression of the clan in the eyes of the world.
Therefore, marriages for men and women of marriageable age in the clan are always difficult problems.
If high is not high, then low is not enough, dragging and dragging will become older men and women.
People often say that the clan is a group of beggars.
The inside of the clan didn't admit it, they said they were raised by stepmothers.
The imperial court's harsh treatment of the clan is unparalleled.
Anyone who has a relationship with the royal family will be expelled from the clan, regardless of their status or official position.
Without the clan status, he naturally became a commoner.
In the two hundred years of Guo Zuo, why was there only a few tens of thousands in the clan?
It is because the clan has been actively eliminating the clansmen and limiting the scale.
The only condition for becoming a clan is that there is no clan relationship with the royal clan.
Just talk about blood, no matter what else.
People who have no family background are out of five clothes and are kicked out of the clan. Without the support of Shaofu, life will naturally become more and more difficult. Without a skill, they will soon be reduced to the bottom of the poor.
These people are the least willing to leave the big family of the clan.
However, rules are rules, and no one can be an exception.
Those who have a family, a way out, and a capable clan are looking forward to leaving the clan as soon as possible.
If you become a civilian, you can enjoy the rights of civilians, and you will not be restricted whether it is the imperial examination or the military.
The child’s marriage becomes simple and easy to solve.
At the same time, he also has the internal connections of the clan, and he can talk to the palace, which is simply beautiful.
If you can do a little business with Shaofu, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking for three lifetimes.
Go to the small streets and alleys to find the family surnamed Liu, and look up the genealogy. Maybe the ancestor is a certain prince and prince.
Empress Dowager Pei doesn't care about the interests of the clan, a group of stepmothers, and beggars deserve it.
She listened to Wen Gonggong's explanation, and after careful consideration, she understood the strangeness.
"Okay! It's really hateful that the queen invited to buy the clan's heart in the name of filial piety to the palace!"
Is it necessary for a clan raised by a group of stepmothers to bother to promote it?
Wengonggong said: "Those women in the clan family are being taught the rules by the mothers. If there are good ones, they will be arranged to work in Weiyang Palace to accompany the Queen Mother to speak to relieve boredom."
Empress Dowager Pei coldly snorted, "The queen is determined that the palace does not dare to oppose her, and deliberately finds fault? A group of unseen clan girls, what can you say. Go and tell the queen that Weiyang Palace does not require clan girls to be female officials. She If he is willing to call, he will send people to Chang'an Palace."
Wen Gonggong looked embarrassed, "Queen Dowager, is it appropriate to do this? After all, it is the Queen's heart."
Snapped!
Empress Dowager Pei patted the table, "I don't even listen to what my palace says, right?"
"The old slave dare not!"
"Then go quickly."
"Old slave obeys!"
...
Chang'an Palace.
"You said the empress dowager is unwilling to use the clan girl?"
Gong Gong lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, "Don't dare to deceive the queen mother, the queen mother said that the clan girls lacked knowledge, there is nothing to say."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "My palace knows about this. Don't call her lonely and lonely again."
Wengong gave it a bit, and it was so simple.
"Those clan girls have already entered the palace, and the queen mother doesn't want them. How do the empresses plan to arrange them? The old slave asked boldly and asked the empresses to forgive them."
Gu Jiu looked at each other with a smile but a smile, "People have already entered the palace, of course they have to stay. The queen mother dislikes them for their lack of knowledge and speech, and the palace does not dislike them. They know the mess in the clan chamber better than anyone else. There are them. Speak with you to relieve boredom, this time is passing day by day."
I rubbed a sentence in Wen Gonggong's heart, why he didn't expect to use this reason to persuade the Queen Mother.
After completing the task, he returned to Weiyang Palace.
Relay the words of the Queen Mother to the Queen Mother Pei.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother asked: "The queen really wants to keep those clan girls?"
"It's true! The empress said that people have entered the palace, and they are driven away for no reason. It is also good to keep it and listen to clan gossip."
"Why did my palace forget this!"
There are tens of thousands of people in the clan, don't have too many messy things.
In the past, when she was in the palace, the Queen Mother often listened to the messy things to pass the time.
She told Wen Gonggong: "You go to Chang'an Palace in two days and tell the queen that this palace has changed her mind. Ask her to arrange for some clever girls to wait in this palace."
Wengonggong said twice.
The Queen Mother glared at him, "Ah what, is there a problem with my palace?"
"No, no problem!"
...
Someone accompany the Queen Dowager Pei to relieve her boredom, and the Queen Mother Pei is finally not so noisy.
But Xiao Qin'er's life is not easy.
Empress Dowager Pei, the old child, the eyes are getting smaller.
She hadn't forgotten what Xiao Qin'er had done with her before. At that time, she had few channels of information, and she couldn't tell the truth from the fake if Xiao Qin'er was tricked.
Now that a group of women from the clan gathered around her, it was tantamount to having a news channel that was even better than Xiao Qin'er.
The Queen Mother knew that she had been fooled by Xiao Qin'er in the past.
Those understatements, those things that told her not to worry, especially, Xiao Qin'er was doing a ghost in private.
The Empress Dowager Pei did not rush to summon Xiao Qin'er, but instead sent her mother to the Duan County Palace.
"The empress dowager has been unwell recently. Someone needs someone to copy the Diamond Sutras a hundred times and burn them in front of the Buddha to pray for blessings. The queen has everything to do, but she can’t spare any time. All over the Diamond Sutra. Be sure to copy it by the princess himself, enough to copy it a hundred times. This matter is about the body of the queen mother and the princess's filial piety. Please don't take it seriously."
Xiao Qin'er twitched her eyebrows, "Too bad, really unwell?"
"If the princess is interested, it is better to enter the palace to please the queen mother."
"Of course this princess will go to please the Queen Mother. It's just a copy of the Diamond Sutra. Who will give the Queen Mother an idea?"
"What is the meaning of the princess? Is it not willing to copy the scriptures for the queen dowager? The princess is filial?"
Xiao Qin'er felt like a dog.
She waved her hand, "It's all right, it's all right. The princess knows this, and the copy will be finished on time."
The mother laughed, "When she came, the queen mother said that Princess Duan was a little cautious, fearing that she would be sneaky and slippery. Now it seems that the queen mother misunderstood the Princess Duan."
Xiao Qin'er couldn't hold her smile.
It is certain that the Queen Mother deliberately sent someone to disgust her.
I have to say that Queen Mother Pei succeeded.
She was indeed disgusting.
Sending the mother away, Xiao Qin'er couldn't bear to smash the tea cup and kicked over the stool.
She went to the outer academy to complain to Liu Yi.
"The queen deliberately embarrassed me. It's good for you to enter the palace to beg for me."
Liu Yi was obsessed with painting, casually perfunctory, "You go to the palace to beg for mercy yourself, and the queen will not embarrass you because of your sincerity."
"You won't help me?" Xiao Qin'er was very angry.
Liu Yi finally looked at her straight, "I told you a long time ago, don’t be clever, you will suffer sooner or later. What did you and I say at the beginning, you said that the queen mother is old and lacks energy, you are sharing the worries for the mother. , Playing tricks to take the mother's queen off the ground. Now the mother's embarrassment for you, it's your responsibility."
Xiao Qin'er looked embarrassed, "It's up to the present, if you don't help me, you have to fall into trouble. Liu Yi, are you human? These years, if it weren't for me to support this family, this family would have already collapsed."
Liu Yi rubbed his eyebrows, doing this every time, so annoying.
Xiao Qin'er cried again in a blink of an eye, "Do you know how the queen made things difficult for me? She asked me to copy the Diamond Sutra a hundred times before the fifteenth of next month. Where can I finish the copying alone, and the queen deliberately pointed out that I was not allowed to find it. Personal ghostwriter. Cousin, please help me. I will pay attention to proportion and never be clever."
It is impossible not to be clever.
The country is easy to change and its nature is hard to change.
Xiao Qin'er loved to be clever since she was a child, and this problem will never be corrected for a lifetime.
Seeing her crying, Liu Yi sighed, "When was the last time this king entered the palace?"
Xiao Qin'er burst into laughter, wiped her tears, and said, "The last time you entered the palace, it was during the Chinese New Year. In the past six months, you never thought about going to the palace to please peace."
Liu Yi snorted, "You are not willing to enter the palace, and of course this king is not willing either."
Xiao Qin'er squeezed, "It's boring to enter the palace! Now the palace is very deserted. That is, the Chang'an Palace is a little lively. The Weiyang Palace is deserted and deserted. Every time I enter the palace mother, I pull me and say a lot. I really deal with it. No, I don't want to enter the palace now."
Liu Yi dropped the paintbrush in his hand, "The palace is deserted, and this is not the case this year. The emperor's brother ascended the throne, and the harem dismissed many people. You didn't dislike it before, how can you dislike it now."
Xiao Qin'er gave him a blank look.
"Think about it, every time I go to the palace and want to go to Chang'an Palace, I will eat closed doors once out of three times. The empress is always so busy, and there is no time for small talk. After eating a few times in a row, I am naturally not happy Enter the palace."
Liu Yi stared at her, seemingly surprised by the reason Xiao Qin'er said, "For this reason, you are not happy to enter the palace."
"In exchange for Li's closed doors, can you be happy to enter the palace?"
Liu Yi thought about it carefully, "Weiyang Palace didn't let you shut the door. When you enter the palace, the main task is to please the mother and the queen. Chang'an Palace is by the way. Does it matter whether you eat or not?"
It’s a big deal, okay?
