Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Special Relationships

Lou Shangshi hadn't seen Lu Zhen for many days, and when he saw her enter the door and gave a big gift, he had a very kind attitude. He quickly helped her up and said, "I told you last time, don't treat me like this. Anyway, you are in good shape. Yet?" Lu Zhen looked at her gratefully, "No problem, thank you for your concern." The words were still polite. Lou Shangshi sighed, "Oh, it was because I left the palace that day that Wang Xuan took advantage of a big loophole." He looked at her pitifully, but his eyes were slightly stern, "Although the emperor issued an order to keep everyone silent, But I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince saved you that day?"

Lu Zhen was startled, she really couldn't hide it from her, and simply admitted, "Your Excellency, you also know?" Lou Shangshi said with a half-smile: "Lu Zhen, Lu Zhen, you are really hiding it. I thought that the eldest princess sent you to the palace so that you could serve the emperor well, but I didn't expect that your target is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Seeing her expression, Lu Zhen was shocked, "My lord, you have misunderstood, I have no special relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." But Lou Shangshi didn't believe her, "You still want to hide it from me? It will be by the Taiye Pool, but I can hear it clearly..." As soon as this remark came out, Lu Zhen suddenly realized why Gao Zhan said it back that day. It was so serious, if he didn't say that, both himself and him would inevitably die like this.

She was quick-witted and pretended to be mysterious and said: "My lord, you have misunderstood. I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at Taiye Pool that night, but that was not what I meant." She pointed with her right index finger and shook shook his head. Lou Shangshi thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized: "You mean the emperor told you to do that on purpose?" Lu Zhen saw that she really followed her own way of thinking, straightened her body again, and said flatly: "My lord, I didn't say anything." Lou Shangshi quickly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I understand " Then he smiled and said in relief: "The crown prince has been in the limelight recently, and the emperor's move has really gone a long way."

Lu Zhen also echoed with a smile, "Isn't it? Anyway, the prince has already left the palace, so my business is over." These words strengthened Lou Shangshi's heart again, and she said happily: "I don't care about other things, but this time you can make Concubine Xiao Gui and Wang Xuan suffer another dark loss, it is really a good skill." Lu Zhen hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is serious. Now who doesn't know that it is your Excellency who takes care of me the most in the internal servants?" Lou Shangshi was very satisfied, "It's refreshing to talk to a smart person. I came to you because I want you to help me look at the shopping list for this spring, so that you can give me an idea when I go out to do the shopping."

Aunt Yang was shocked when she learned that Lou Shangshi asked Lu Zhen to participate in the purchase, "Lou Shangshi asked you to help read the shopping list? Then she really started to treat you as her own." Lu Zhen didn't understand the meaning of her words, "Auntie, please explain more clearly?" Aunt Yang nodded her forehead, "The reason why Lou Shangshi has been so beautiful is that besides the big Buddha statue of the Empress Dowager on top of her, she also manages the purchase of the Internal Service Bureau, and the clothes, charcoal, etc. Rice, gold and silver, which one is not so rich? The last time the account department came to the Internal Service Bureau to settle the accounts, it was no problem to count your Si Baosi. I think she has taken a fancy to your ability to manage accounts, so she is ready to put it to good use is you."

What she said was reasonable, and Lu Zhen nodded repeatedly. Aunt Yang did not forget to tell her, "You have to be vigilant, and don't fold yourself in for petty gains. Alas, although you keep saying that you want to be promoted by your own ability, you have to be caught between Lou Shangshi and How can it be so easy for Wang Shangyi's fingers to get in and out?" Lu Zhen knew that she was worried about herself, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already told Lou Shangshi several cheap sources, and she will definitely make a lot of money this year. Besides, now she thinks that I am sent by the emperor Those who monitor the prince, even if I make a small mistake, she will definitely not do anything to me."

Aunt Yang was taken aback, "You said you were sent by the emperor?" After thinking about it, she quickly figured it out, "You said that to clear up the trouble for the prince. Sigh, it's not a good word, but you have to take care of yourself." Has he forgotten? Why are you still trying to help him? " Lu Zhen lowered her head and was silent for a while, but she didn't admit it, "I don't know, maybe I'm just used to it." But she quickly looked at Aunt Yang and said, "However, it's not bad for me, Auntie Say it?" Aunt Yang felt helpless, so she had no choice but to stop talking.She has also figured out Lu Zhen's temper, if she doesn't admit it, it's useless to say what she says.

On the second day, Lu Zhen had a plan and went to the Internal Affairs Bureau to look for Zhu Shaojian. Zhu Shaojian was a little surprised, but he was still very happy, and asked her with a smile: "I heard that you did a good job in Si Baosi. Why are you doing a good job today?" Want to see me again?" Lu Zhen and him said as they walked: "Actually, I have wanted to see you for a long time. When I fired the second batch of white porcelain for the emperor, I asked the masters. Did you go out of the palace to do business? I will give you the tea leaves to the people below you, how about it, uncle, do you think the tea is still good?"

Zhu Shaojian looked at her with squinted eyes, with a smile, "Are you trying to test me on purpose? That's Wen Lin Yunwu, the magistrate of Ganzhou who specially promoted the empress dowager! It seems that you have received a lot of rewards recently?" Lu Zhen said angrily: "That's just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. But uncle, I am so kind to you, but you are not so kind to me." Zhu Shaojian hurriedly said, "Hey? Look at what you said. I'm not good to you, let you go around our inner court every day or two? Can I lend you the pottery kiln?" Seeing that he got to the point, Lu Zhen took advantage of the situation and said, "But uncle, you never told me that you even know a master who can burn carved porcelain!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Shaojian had stopped smiling, "How did you know?" Lu Zhen didn't hide it from him, "I heard from others that when the first emperor passed away, you personally picked a three-legged chicken head to be buried with you. The three-legged chicken head style has only been seen in the past twenty years. The new style of firing, the craftsmanship of carved porcelain, has been lost since the Dong Zhuo Rebellion of the Three Kingdoms. The carved porcelain that is circulating in the world is already an ancient artifact hundreds of years ago. If you don’t know a master who can burn carved porcelain , and where did you find this kind of treasure that is both a three-legged chicken head and hollowed out?"

Zhu Shaojian looked at her meaningfully for a long time, and then burst out laughing, "Okay, okay, okay! You really live up to my expectations, you are really smart." He cautiously led Lu Zhen all the way to a corner of the warehouse, opened an inconspicuous box there, "Look for yourself, here are all my carved porcelain." Lu Zhen took a deep breath, picked up a piece of carved porcelain, and looked at it in her hand, only to see that it was carved with exquisite patterns and hollowed out, and she couldn't help but be fascinated by it.She said fascinatedly: "This is definitely new porcelain that was only fired a few years ago! My God, I thought the technique of carved porcelain had been lost long ago, but I was really wrong! Uncle, that master Where is it? Can you introduce me?" Unexpectedly, Shaojian Zhu sighed, "Oh, it's the same if it's lost." Lu Zhenyi wondered: "Why?" Zhu Shaojian said slowly: "I think you also know that the carved porcelain comes from Master Ding Xu of the Western Han Dynasty, and it has always been passed down only among the descendants of the Ding family. It's just that from the moment I entered the palace, I knew that this unique skill has no successors. gone." Lu Zhen vaguely had an answer in her heart, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that these carved porcelains are all yours..." Zhu Shaojian pondered and said: "Yes, there is a porcelain kiln near my private residence. These things are just my temporary play." Lu Zhen didn't expect that the uncle in front of her was the descendant of the Ding family. She loved the porcelain firing technology and said with admiration: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? If I knew that when I fired white porcelain, I should ask you for advice, do you think, if white porcelain is decorated with carvings, wouldn’t it be more beautiful and magnificent than jade carvings?” Zhu Shaojian laughed and said, "How can it be so easy? Don't say that the technique of carved porcelain has never been passed on to outsiders. Even if you really want to learn it, you won't know the secrets within a year or so." Lu Zhen was fascinated by what he said, and thoughtfully bowed to Shaojian Zhu, "Uncle Zhu, Lu Zhen has an unfeeling request. You know that I am also a porcelain lover. If you don't want to let the craftsmanship of carved porcelain be lost, why not?" What about teaching me?" Zhu Shaojian was stunned and said: "This... I have already said that the ancestors of the Ding family have a legacy, and this skill has always been passed down to the direct descendants of the Ding family." Lu Zhen said suspiciously: "But your surname is not Ding either." Zhu Shaojian sighed, "My deceased mother was the last prostitute daughter of the Ding family." Lu Zhen thought for a while and said, "Then it's over? Mrs. Zhu has already made an exception and passed on the unique knowledge of the Ding family to you, uncle, so why do you stick to the rules and let no one succeed you with this unique skill?" Zhu Shaojian was momentarily at a loss for words, "But..." Lu Zhen said sincerely again: "Uncle, I told you the tricks of making white porcelain at that time, and you even praised me for not keeping secrets and being generous, but now you are like this..." Zhu Shaojian was a little hesitant at first, remembering that he had been with Lu Zhen so far and knew her character very well, so he couldn't help smiling, "Look at your aggrieved face, okay, okay, I will teach you two tricks! But we have agreed in advance that we are just mutual Learn from each other, there is no need for any master-apprentice status!" Lu Zhen didn't expect that he really agreed to her, so she couldn't help but said quickly, "Thank you uncle! Then when can we start?" She had heard Linglong talk about the past, and deduced that Zhu Shaojian should know that this can make the top Waiting for a craftsman of carved porcelain, but he didn't expect that he was so lucky that the heir of the Ding family turned out to be Zhu Shaojian himself.If I can learn a thing or two of this advanced technique, my father who wants to go underground will also feel very comforted.She couldn't help but look at Zhu Shaojian gratefully. The two prepared for a few days, and Zhu Shaojian quickly taught her in the work shed of the Internal Service Bureau, "The technique of carving porcelain is mysterious, but it is actually not complicated to make. You see, first of all, the clay must be It is necessary to use the most expensive remaining dry porcelain stones, so that the mud made out of this way will have enough tension, and it will not easily collapse when it is air-dried and carved..." Lu Zhen listened carefully with the mud made by Young Master Zhu in her hand. After a while, when the mud was dry, Young Master Zhu continued: "When the mud is 80% dry, you can start carving with a carving knife. Here That’s it.” He skillfully carved flowers on the mud, “After it’s done, it’s fine to put it in the kiln for firing, but you have to remember that the carcass of this carved porcelain is thin and light, so you can’t use strong fire, you have to slowly burn it.” It needs to be baked for at least fourteen hours before it can come out of the kiln." Lu Zhen watched intently, seeing that he threw the mud into the fire after carving, and asked doubtfully, "It's that simple?" Zhu Shaojian said to her calmly: "Porcelain making in ancient times always pays attention to the word 'clever'..." Since then, Lu Zhenpao tried for a few days in the shed before she fired a carved porcelain bowl. She took the porcelain bowl all the way back to Si Baosi, always feeling that the bowl looked pleasing to the eye, but she did not. She couldn't figure it out, but Linglong happened to be passing by at this time, she hurriedly beckoned Linglong to come over, "Linglong, come and take a look, this bowl, why does the more I look at it, the more strange it becomes?" Linglong was taken aback when she glanced at it, but quickly saw the problem, and said quickly, "My lord, did you burn this? Hmm... this bowl looks pretty, but the hollowed-out pattern is not so delicate. You see, one side of the hole is bigger and the other is smaller, and the thickness is different..." When Lu Zhen asked her to remind her, she immediately understood, "By the way, the original problem lies in the carving! Alas, it seems that I have to spend time and practice hard." Linglong smiled and said: "My lord, where do you have the time? Carving flowers is a hard job, and all the maids in the construction department who can carve jade have practiced for seven or eight years before they dare to start carving jade." Lu Zhen thought, seven or eight years? ...Ah, I understand, no wonder Uncle Zhu refused to formally accept me as an apprentice, so he already knew that with my little ability, even if I knew the process of carving porcelain, I would not be able to make real carved porcelain! She thought about it, and came up with an idea, "Linglong, take me to find those court ladies who can carve jade." She learned carving from these court ladies for a few days, and made new ones, but there was never a piece of jade. OKIt was too bad, so I asked Master Zhu again.As soon as Zhu Shaojian entered the door, he saw Lu Zhen's broken porcelain on the table, "This... is the trial product you want me to see?" Afraid that he would laugh at her, Lu Zhen lowered her head and said, "Uncle Zhu, I don't have the ability to carve flowers like you, so I had to ask the maid who carved jade to try on the clay a few times with me. I didn't expect that the mud and jade would , It’s really too bad, we can’t carve a whole piece of porcelain no matter what, we can only take some fragments and burn them out, let you see what it means.” Zhu Shaojian picked up one piece and looked at it, "Heh, you are really good at playing tricks. Well, this carving is indeed interesting, but there is still a big difference between porcelain carving and jade carving." Lu Zhen said again: "Uncle Zhu, can't you teach me how to carve flowers? I know now that the essence of carved porcelain lies in the word 'carved flowers'. If you can't learn how to carve flowers, you can burn porcelain again." It's no use at all." Zhu Shaojian looked at her, "You came up with this idea yourself?" Lu Zhen nodded quickly, Zhu Shaojian breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "You can teach me, I didn't directly accept you as a disciple at the beginning, but I didn't know you Do you have any talent in this area? However, since you can think of asking Master Jade Carving to help, it means that your thinking is quite open, and you are qualified to be my apprentice." When Lu Zhen heard this, her heart felt hot, and she knelt down on the ground, "My apprentice pays homage to Master!" From then on, Zhu Shaojian began to teach her hand in hand.The secret of carved porcelain lies in the word "change" - since the ages, porcelain is nothing more than bottles, cups, cups, and washes. Although the materials and glaze colors are different, the overall form has not changed much.Carved porcelain is to use porcelain as paper and paint on it with a carving knife... To carve carefully, you must first be able to draw, and then use your eyesight, wrist strength, and arm strength to finely carve various patterns. The knife must be accurate and fast ...Only after practicing on a flat clay board can it be slowly transferred to three-dimensional porcelain... He first asked Lu Zhen to practice repeatedly on the clay board, but it didn't take long for Lu Zhen to carve the clay board, and Zhu Shaojian asked her to try it a few times, and he saw the problem, "You are weak after illness, and you have never practiced wrist strength. , it is difficult to carve this flower well!" He didn't keep Lu Zhen, let her go back to rest first.Lu Zhen did not admit defeat, and started to practice calligraphy again when she returned to the Palace of Blue Mirror that night.She wrote very slowly, until she was sweating profusely before finishing an article. After reading the words she had written, she rubbed her sore wrist with satisfaction. At this moment, Dan Niang opened the door and walked in, "Sister, what time is it, why are you still awake?" Seeing her urging herself, Lu Zhen felt a little reluctant, "I want to write two more articles." But Danniang didn't care what she said, "How can it be done? Aunt Yang said that I should take good care of you and don't let you get tired anymore. Otherwise, if you get sick again, you won't be able to raise any ginseng back." She He rushed over to grab the pen in Lu Zhen's hand, but when he got it, he was startled, "What kind of pen is this, why is it so heavy?" Lu Zhen looked at her and smiled, "This is a pen made of lead stone. I use it to practice wrist strength. How can it not be heavy?" Danniang saw that Lu Zhen smiled at herself, and said excitedly: "Sister, you finally smiled at me! After so many days, I thought you would always be angry with me. Oh, sister, you wrote this word It's so beautiful, it's even more beautiful than His Royal Highness's..." As soon as she said the words, she knew that she had made a mistake, and stopped hastily. Lu Zhen said calmly: "Say it, just keep talking." Dan Niang looked at her cautiously, "Are you still angry with him?" Lu Zhen snorted, "Not only angry with him, but also angry with you. Let me ask you, you knew his identity a long time ago, why did you keep hiding it from me?" But Danniang was afraid that Lu Zhen would get angry with her, so she said anxiously: "I... I really didn't mean it! It was Yuan Lu, Yuan Lu told me that I must never tell you! Besides, how dare I not listen to His Highness the Crown Prince's words! " But Lu Zhen laughed again, "Okay, look at your appearance, don't worry, I won't be angry with you." She paused, and then joked with Dan Niang, "But since you made a mistake, don't worry. You must be punished! Well, from today until the end of this month, you are not allowed to eat a bite of pastry!" Only then did Danniang, who was relieved, frown again, "Ah! Sister, can we discuss it?" Lu Zhen purposely said with a sullen face, "Impossible." Danniang could only say aggrievedly: "Okay." After thinking about it, she was not sad again, "It's okay, Yuan Lu still owes me a lot of gambling debts, I asked him to buy me pea yellow and crispy candy, It doesn't taste bad either!" Lu Zhen couldn't help laughing, "How come you have become so smart now, and you have also learned to obey others?" Dan Niang put her arms around her shoulders and said affectionately, "Hey, I learned that from you." She curiously played with Lu Zhen's pen again, "You can still write with such a heavy thing. Sister, you have become a female officer now, why do you have to work so hard?" Lu Zhen took it from her hand, and said lightly: "Du Siyi has been in the palace for 20 years. Back then, he was at the sixth rank, but now he is still at the sixth rank. It can be seen that it is very difficult for a female officer to want to be promoted. It’s still hard to reach the sky. Now I don’t know anything except firing porcelain, if I don’t continue to strive for excellence, I don’t know how many years and months I will have to wait until I can reach a higher level.” She practiced for several days in a row, and added daily playing with the stone ball, and then went to re-carve the clay tablet and sent it to Master Zhu.Zhu Shaojian carefully looked at her homework, and said: "Well, this technique is correct. From now on, you can only practice slowly. When you can carve a flower on the eggshell, you can start doing it officially. Good porcelain embryos are carved." Seeing his affirmation, Lu Zhen happily said, "Okay, then I'll go back and practice hard." Seeing her working so hard, Young Inspector Zhu felt very relieved, but he still said: "Don't be too hasty, although your progress has been considered very fast, you still won't be able to become a teacher in a year or two." Lu Zhen said: "Master, don't worry, I will practice at least one hour every night..." While the two were talking, a small eunuch came in and saluted: "My lord, your lord eunuch has issued an order to order officials at all levels of the internal government bureau to gather outside Helu Gate to welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess." drive." When Lu Zhen heard this, her face turned white, and she said goodbye to Shaojian Zhu soon. Danniang was waiting for her outside the door. The two walked all the way to the place near Xiuwen Hall, and the prince's car also arrived. Lu Zhen Feeling tense, he pulled Danniang and hid in the corner. Gao Zhan first helped the eldest princess out of the car, and then went to a carriage behind, and helped out another person. His hands moved down. At first, she thought it was the eldest princess, but she didn't expect that the person was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, with a sweet appearance and gorgeous clothes. People from the royal family, she was talking with Gao Zhan affectionately while smiling, the two seemed to have known each other for a long time, no matter how far apart, Lu Zhen could still see the girl looking at Gao Zhan with admiration, As if I can't get enough of it. There was an unknown fire in her heart for no reason, no matter how she looked at the girl, she was not pleasing to the eye, and then she looked at Gao Zhan, who was very diligent towards her, and thought to herself that he was nice, and she just fell out with herself, so she fell out with other women After getting so close, Gao Zhan is very neatly dressed, as if he has been living a good life outside. I can't help but think, maybe he said that going to accompany the eldest princess is an excuse, and it is true that he has a new love, man It's really not a good thing, Gao Zhan is a liar, fortunately, I broke up with him.She didn't expect why she was so angry. When she saw Gao Zhan helping the girl all the way back to Xiuwen Hall, her gaze was still on the hands of the two of them. Walk. This girl is familiar with Gao Zhan. Not long after she entered the palace, she met Emperor Xiaozhao with the princess and Gao Zhan. Emperor Xiaozhao didn't know her. Jiamin, Shen Guogong's feudal residence, Pingzhou, is not far from Yuzhou, and when I was there, I often visited Shen Guogong's house." Only then did Emperor Xiaozhao think about it, "Oh, I said, why do you look familiar? Isn't Duke Shen the cousin of the imperial sister's son-in-law? In this way, we are also considered distant relatives." The eldest princess said again: "Isn't it? This child is beautiful, and I like it from the bottom of my heart. Alas, poor Jiamin has never returned since she left the capital at the age of ten. It was deserted in the border town, so I brought her to the capital to find a good husband for her." When she spoke, she kept looking at Gao Zhan with a smile in her eyes, and everyone knew Jiamin's thoughts, if it wasn't for Gao Zhan, she would not He will lose his temper and follow him all the way to the capital. Gao Zhan didn't pay attention, but just looked at Emperor Xiaozhao, "Your Majesty, regarding the situation of the Xinluo army, my younger brother has already drawn up a secret document, please take a look at it when you have time." Seeing that he was puzzled, the eldest princess was a little unhappy, "Azhan, Jiamin is still here, why are you talking about business?" However, Emperor Xiaozhao knew Gao Zhan's intentions, and quickly smoothed things over, "Sister Huang, it's not like you don't know that Ah Zhan has always been more concerned about military and state affairs than I am. Ah Zhan, it's all right this way. ?” Gao Zhan said with a smile: "My brother is all right, your majesty, how about you? And those people in the harem, are they all well?" Emperor Xiaozhao smiled slightly, Ah Zhan was still thinking about Lu Zhen, and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you, everything will be safe and sound." Only then did Gao Zhan feel relieved. Si Baosi was in a mess, and Lamei went to declare the Queen Mother's will, "By the order of the Queen Mother, Shen Jiamin is appointed as the sixth-rank Sizhen, in charge of Si Baosi, hereby!" Everyone didn't understand why another Shen Jiamin was airborne. After Lamei announced the decree, she quietly pulled Lu Zhen and said: "My lord said, this Shen Sizhen is the lady of Shen Guogong's family, and she is with the prince and princess. Make friends, but she can only play and can't do things, you just offer her up as a bodhisattva, and don't provoke her." It turned out that Shen Jiamin had always been secretly in love with Gao Zhan. The eldest princess knew her thoughts, and took her all the way to Beijing, and raised it with Queen Mother Lou.Empress Dowager Lou thought for a while, and felt that although the Shen family was a noble, they had no power. Compared to giving Gao Zhan a prince and important minister, this Shen Jiamin was much better. It did not help Gao Zhan, and seeing that she was arrogant and self-righteous, It's big trouble.So he went along with the flow to sell the eldest princess a favor, and kept Jiamin in the palace, fearing that she would be bored, so he gave her something to do. But Lu Zhen didn't know that there were so many things behind this, she stuffed a golden melon seed in Lamei, "Thank you for reminding me, aunt." But after Lamei left, everyone was still worried and started discussing.Lin Lang said first, "Master Lu is in charge, why is there another Si Zhen?" Linglong thought about it a little more deeply, "God knows what's going on, it's a sixth rank, and it was conferred by the Empress Dowager herself, so I'm afraid it's not a small one." Lu Zhen was very calm. After hearing about Shen Jiamin's background, she guessed that this person was probably the girl she saw that day, so she raised her voice and said first, "Everyone be quiet!" Everyone fell silent immediately, and Lu Zhen said again: "The leader of the Sixth Division should always be a sixth-rank female official. It is already considered out of order for Lu Zhen to be in charge of the Division of Baosi with an eighth-rank body. Shen Sizhen is about to take office. Our honor. Please continue to perform your duties and don't panic." Everyone answered yes, and Lu Zhen said again: "Everyone should leave, hurry up and sort out the work at hand, and be careful that Mrs. Si Zhen will come to check." She looked sad when she saw that everyone was busy, she didn't know What kind of person is this person? I don't know what will happen when we get along with each other in the future. Lu Zhen went back to Si Baosi's room worryingly, just after writing a few pages of account books, Lin Lang hurried in, "My lord, go to the main hall quickly, Shen Sizhen sent a maid to give her what she needs Something is coming!" Lu Zhen looked at her curiously, "Bring something here? Then you can arrange it. Didn't I already make room for her in the main room in the backyard?" But Lin Lang said anxiously: "It's not that simple, alas, my lord, just go and have a look and you'll understand!" Before Lu Zhen approached the main hall, she saw that the main hall was full of various things - there was a dressing table, a couch for the imperial concubine, and even a parrot!She couldn't help opening her eyes wide. Which play is this singing? A strange maid was bossing her around and explaining to Linglong, "Remember, our lady only drinks licorice water and cannot smell sandalwood. She doesn't like other people wearing water-red clothes, and the resting place must be quiet..." Linglong was obviously dizzy, "But, this is Si Baosi, shouldn't these luggage be sent to the Jiafu Hall where Lord Si Zhen lives?" The maid stared at her eyes and raised her eyebrows, "Stupid! My lady is such a noble person, even if she only comes here to work, the resting place must be well arranged. Alas, fortunately, when our wife packed her luggage You are thoughtful, otherwise, how could Miss stay in such a crappy place." Lu Zhen was at a loss for such a neat person like Linglong, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her and said, "Linglong, why don't you arrange all of Si Zhen's things quickly? I am Zhang Zhen here, what is the girl's name?" The maid just looked her up and down, and immediately said: "My name is Fanghua, and you are Lu Zhen? Then you hurry up and ask someone to clean this place, it's as dirty as a doghouse, and I don't know how our lady can stay here!" " Seeing her being so rude, Lin Lang scolded: "Presumptuous! Master Lu is an eighth-rank palm treasure. You are a maid with no rank and no rank, even worse than me. How dare you speak nonsense here. You are extremely rude!" Na Fanghua curled her lips, "So what? Master Shangyi said that if there is any trivial matter, just send Lu Zhen to do it. I heard it right!" Seeing Linlang furious, Lu Zhen stopped her, then looked at Fanghua and said slowly: "Fanghua, you were born in the Duke's mansion, so you naturally know what it means to be polite and dignified. It doesn't matter whether you call me by my name or not." It violates the palace rules, but our Sibao Division is an important place in the harem, and it is definitely not a place where you can talk nonsense! I advise you to be cautious in your words and deeds from now on, and don't lose the face of your Duke Shen! " That Fanghua was used to being arrogant. When she saw Lu Zhen talking to her like this, she opened her mouth wide and said extremely wronged: "You...you dare to scold me like that! Just wait, I'll tell our family right away. Miss!" She turned around and ran away angrily, even ignoring the things she had brought. Everyone had never seen this before, and they looked at each other.After a long time, Linglong Fang said, "My lord, what should we do now?" Lu Zhen could only smile wryly and said: "What can we do? Let's arrange Mrs. Si Zhen's things first." She first picked up the parrot cage and walked out, thinking to herself, it is conceivable that all maids are like this How arrogant this young lady is, Si Baosi's life will be difficult in the future. A group of people were busy furnishing Jiamin's room, and it took quite a while to finish. Lu Zhen said wearily, "That's almost it." Linglong said helplessly: "The incense has been changed, and the parrot shelf has been hurriedly ordered to be made. If Mrs. Si Zhen thinks it is not enough, the slaves don't know what to do." Lin Lang was also very angry. She had been on duty for so long, and no maid had ever dared to use herself as a low-level court lady like this, "It's nothing, but you, my lord... well, that lord Si Zhen is worthy of being a member of the Duke's family." Miss, that style is more refined than many ladies in the palace." As soon as she finished speaking, a young girl's arrogant voice came from outside the window, "Who is Lu Zhen, get out!" Lu Zhen hurriedly came out of the room. The person who came was wearing the costume of a sixth-rank female official, but it was the girl who walked closely with Gao Zhan a few days ago. She hesitated for a while, and the girl sneered and said: "Lu Zhangzhen, What a big shelf you are!" Lu Zhen stepped forward to salute, "I will see Mr. Shen." Jiamin had just heard Fanghua's embellishment, and came to Xingshi to ask the teacher aggressively, "Lu Zhen, did you just say that we have no tutors in Shen Guogong's mansion!" Lu Zhen thought to herself, it was as she expected, and said calmly: "I will never dare to do this. I just reminded this young girl, after all, the layout of this Si Baosi was the former empress Yu's. I made it myself, but Miss Fanghua always said that this place is like a kennel, if these words are heard by someone with a heart, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of Shen Guogong's mansion." Jiamin was choked by her, and said angrily: "You! Hmph, it's just like Master Shangyi said, you can only quibble!" Lu Zhen stopped talking, and Jiamin said again: "My people made mistakes, so I will discipline them naturally, but besides you, why would anyone here dare to scold her?" Fanghua immediately pointed to Lin Lang and said, "Miss , she was the one who scolded me first!" Linlang was timid, so she turned pale with fright, but Lu Zhen defended her, "Young girl Fanghua has no rank, if she goes around with Lord Si Zhen, she should be treated as a fourth-class court lady. Linlang is a first-rank maid in charge. , It’s understandable to teach Fanghua a lesson.” Jiamin laughed back angrily, "Okay, I figured it out, so you deliberately tried to show me off! Yuehua, go to Wang Shangyi right away, and tell me that I want to be promoted to Fanghua as a first-rank maid in charge, see Will she agree!" After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Zhen in protest. Lu Zhen just said softly: "Your Excellency makes a clear decision." However, Jiamin thought that Lu Zhen was afraid of herself, "Huh, the princess cousin has told me that since I became Si Zhen, I will have the final say on Si Baosi! Lu Zhen, you deliberately neglected me just now. It’s too late to welcome me. I punish you to kneel for two hours, do you not accept it?” Lu Zhen could only say helplessly: "Lu Zhen will be punished." Immediately knelt down, Jiamin was even more proud now, giggling, "I thought you were so capable, so you are a bully! Fanghua, Let's go!" She walked away, but Si Baosi was extremely dissatisfied, Linglong Linlang saw Lu Zhen kneeling there, and was worried about her, but Lu Zhen just said: "It's nothing, two hours is not too long. Besides, Lamei reminded me a long time ago, I was careless." But he was extremely worried: After this, Si Baosi didn't know how to be tossed by this spoiled girl, Wang Shangyi is really poisonous. Lu Zhen knelt until late at night before returning to the Palace of Blue Mirrors. Linglong accompanied the sedan chair all the way back to the Palace of Blue Mirrors. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, Danniang greeted her with a smile, "Sister, you are back." Lu Zhen wondered, "What's the matter? You look like a thief, did you get into some trouble again?" Dan Niang smiled and shook her head, and just pulled her all the way to the rockery, "Why, yes Someone is coming to confess your mistake." A man turned out from behind the rockery, but it was Gao Zhan in casual clothes. Lu Zhen's smiling face gradually sank, and she said to Danniang, "You go down first." Seeing that Danniang was gone, she saluted and said, "What is your Highness doing here?" Gao Zhan coughed slightly to cover up his embarrassment, "Today in the Jiafu Palace, I heard from Jiamin that you had a quarrel with her maid." Jiamin left angrily, knowing that she must be embarrassing Lu Zhen.Anxious, she came to look for Lu Zhen overnight, but she didn't know what to say. Lu Zhen was taken aback, "Even you know?" Gao Zhan thought for a while and then said: "Jiamin is still young and doesn't understand anything. I usually treat her as my younger sister. So don't keep getting acquainted with her. After all, you will all be in Sibaosi from now on. What do you need to take more care of?" Lu Zhen looked at him in surprise, her heart gradually turned cold - he really changed, he let himself let her, let himself take more care, who will take care of himself?Once he returned to the palace, he came to find him for another woman, and now he didn't even dare to look him in the eye. Lu Zhen was silent for a long time, then Fang said: "Does Your Highness have any orders?" Gao Zhan said embarrassingly: "Jiamin has a bit of a temper, but she is the lady of the Duke's Mansion after all..." But Lu Zhen didn't want to listen to him anymore, so she interrupted him, "Your Highness has already said these words, and Lu Zhen will definitely follow His Highness's order in the future and treat Shen Sizhen respectfully. If His Highness has no other orders , the officer will resign." She turned around and left, ignoring Gao Zhan, all the way into her room, closing the door, tears streaming down and sitting back on the bed, touching her swollen knee, "Do you still need me to take care of you? Gao Zhan, How can I offend your good sister!"
