274. Imperial City No. 9

The Interior Affairs Office came to invite someone, and took an extra carriage very carefully. Chen Su rode with He Zijin and comforted her very carefully, "Since the Interior Affairs Office has arranged it, just rest assured. After entering the palace, Moduo looked at it and said, just care about the flowers. If it was easy to clean up, you should help clean up. If it was not easy to clean up, don't take care of that work."

He Zijin responded and said, "This is really strange. How can the Internal Affairs Department know that I am here in the imperial capital for a small person like me?"

Chen Su thought about it, but he turned aside. He said, "You have seen the princess. The prince's second son is in the Internal Affairs Office. This is how you know when you make an appointment."

He Zijin felt relieved.

She had been to the Prince's Mansion once and then entered the palace, but she was much more calm. Even if she was calm about the magnificence of the palace, she would not be surprised by the other ones. Not to mention, she had been to the Forbidden City several times in her previous life. Therefore, although the palace was large, in He Zijin's opinion, it was the case.

However, the palace was very rules and had to get off after taking the bus at the entrance of the palace for a while. Chen Su could not walk in. The doctor of the Internal Affairs Department invited Chen Su to the Internal Affairs Department for tea. He Zijin followed a little eunuch to walk.

He Zijin also saw the two pots of green chrysanthemums, but there was another person who surprised her even more than the green chrysanthemums. She said in a silence, "Old sir?" Isn't this just an old chrysanthemums who met twice by chance? However, unlike the three long whiskers in the first two times, this time, the old shaved all the beards on his chin and left a lip. It has to be said that it is more pleasing to the eyes and more in line with He Zijin's aesthetics.

He Zijin saw that the man was wearing a dark blue sweater, with a piece of beautiful jade hanging around his waist and a green jade ring on his thumb. Below that, there was no other decoration on his body. He Zijin felt a happy heart, but he didn't say anything.

"Sit down." The old man spoke very casually.

He Zijin lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not sit in front of you."

"How did you guess it?"

He Zijin said, "When you enter this hall, there is a plaque on the door, not to mention that the palace is in the middle of the imperial road, it must be a main palace. Such a place will naturally not be the yamen of the Internal Affairs Department. If you can be in the main palace, you must be in the official uniform. Besides, you look very similar to Master Chaoyun. When I saw you the first time I saw you, I thought you were a relative of Master Chaoyun. If you can't guess this, you're just pretending to be stupid."

Emperor Mu Yuan laughed and said, "Sit down. Sit down and talk, is Zhaoyun okay?"

He Zijin thought to himself, where should I sit? There is only a couch in the room, and Emperor Mu Yuan is sitting. Could she still go to the couch? He Zijin didn't speak, but the expression in his eyes had already been seen through. Emperor Mu Yuan smiled and scolded the eunuch, "If you have no eyesight, you won't bring a chair for Miss He."

He Zijin said, "It's good for me to stand."

Emperor Mu Yuan was obviously in a good mood and smiled, "Where can you speak when you stand? Besides, if you want to stand, let Zhaoyun know that he must be saying that I am mean."

The eunuch moved Zhang Taichai Master, and there was a tiger-skin mattress in the chair. It seemed that it was not something that ordinary people could sit on. He Zijin was still hesitating. Emperor Mu Yuan said, "Sit down, you are not an outsider. It's cold now, so it's not good to sit on that embroidered stool."

He Zijin thanked him and sat up and sat forward.

Emperor Mu Yuan asked, "Is Zhaoyun okay?"

"It's good, but I'm prone to getting sick in winter. Master Chaoyun coughs when he gets sick. However, it's fine after winter." He Zijin was a little worried as he said, thinking that when he was in his hometown, Master Chaoyun had a person to talk to. Now that he has come to the imperial capital, Master Chaoyun's place should be deserted.

Emperor Mu Yuan said, "It's okay. After the Chinese New Year, ask Doctor Xia to go and see Chaoyun. After a few days, you can get better."

He Zijin immediately looked happy and said with a smile, "Then I thanked Your Majesty for Master Chaoyun first. I have invited the most famous doctor in our county to see this disease, but it is not a big deal. I heard that Doctor Xia is a native of Shu, but unfortunately I didn't know it before. If I had known it, I would have invited it long ago." Thinking of this, He Zijin felt that Master Xue was not a good person. Doctor Xia heard that Master Xue had taught him. Of course, the master led the door and practiced by himself. Doctor Xia's medical skills were better than Master Xue.

Emperor Mu Yuan smiled slightly, "Zhaoyun is my cousin, how can you thank you? I know that your county is called Bishui County, right?"

"This is not uncommon. It would be uncommon if you didn't even know where Master Chaoyun lives."

Emperor Mu Yuan laughed, "I also know that there is a restaurant there, which is extremely expensive. A cup of pigeon soup costs one tael of silver."

"This is because pigeons are carefully raised, and even the ingredients used for stewing pigeons are very precious. With artificial means, it is not an exaggeration to pay one tael of silver. Otherwise, those who drink soup are not fools. Who can easily spend one tael of silver to drink this cup of pigeon soup, and they must be worth the money." He Zijin said.

Emperor Mu Yuan said, "Isn't that restaurant opened by your family if you protect it like this?"

"No. My family runs a pickle shop." He Zijin said, "But, it's not an outsider to open a restaurant, it's my cousin's husband's house. Later, his restaurant closed down."

Emperor Mu Yuan laughed, "You are also good at doing business, aren't you?"

He Zijin said modestly, "It's average."

Emperor Mu Yuan laughed.

He Zijin didn't know what was funny, or did the emperor have low laugh points.

Emperor Mu Yuan said he wanted to ask Taoist Chaoyun about things, but He Zijin felt that Emperor Mu Yuan asked her more about things. What about her studies, her purchase of real estate, her book shop, etc. Of course, he also asked the academy of Bishui County and the Taoist temple of Taoist Chaoyun.

Emperor Mu Yuan also said, "Why do you say it's too much? The Zu Emperor's handwriting is not good?"

He Zijin then remembered that the first time she met at the gate of Taipingju, she was just saying that the word "Taizu Emperor" was just like the word "Taizu Emperor". He Zijin had no intention of changing her words. She said, "Taizu Emperor's identity is the founding king, not a calligrapher. His great achievements are to benefit the people of the world. Calligraphers are just achievements in calligraphy. I didn't say it well, just say it. This is the truth. Whether it is good or not, the comments of the people now do not count. After thousands of years, I will ask future generations to comment. This is the truth."

Emperor Mu Yuan laughed, "Don't worry, I don't mean to pursue you."

"I know, Your Majesty is a person with a heart at first glance."

Emperor Mu Yuan laughed again when he photographed her. He Zijin said intimately, the laughter was too low.

He Zijin found that this emperor liked to hear her talk about rural life. He Zijin said it was lively and interesting, not only country life, but also county life, prefecture and the changes in the countryside. "When my father was studying, there was no academy in the county, so he had to study at the private school teacher. When my brother and others were studying, our county had a college, and he asked Emperor Xue to teach him about learning."

"Oh, have you ever seen Emperor Xue?"

"I have not only seen it, but also sold the complete works of Emperor Xue in my book shop. I have also given tomato sauce to Emperor Xue, and Emperor Xue has signed for me." He Zijin was very honored.

"What is signature?"

"It is to write the name of Master Xue on the title page of the book written by Master Xue." He Zijin said.

The extremely smart person of Emperor Mu Yuan said, "This way you can make a big banner. In the future, your book shop will definitely sell Master Xue's books."

He Zijin smiled and said, "It's normal."

Emperor Mu Yuan laughed and asked, "How about your county academy?"

"Extremely good." He Zijin said, "If you want to go to a college, you have to take the exam. You have to pass the exam before you can get it. If you can't get it, you can't get it any money. My brother and A Nian went in as soon as the exam. Moreover, the top ten students who are good at studying every year will receive silver rewards. My A Nian gets the first 50 taels every year."

Emperor Mu Yuan said, “Is the academy charge high?”

"The silver price per month is not low." He Zijin said, "The students are all family members with family income, otherwise they are afraid they can't afford it. But if you are really talented, you are not afraid. Those who get the first place in the academy will be able to get 50 taels a year, and there are still 30 taels left. These 30 taels will cope with the daily expenses, and the family will have enough food and drink."

Emperor Mu Yuan listened and nodded slightly.

For a moment, the eunuch came to report whether Your Majesty wanted to pass on lunch.

Emperor Mu Yuan felt that it was time for lunch after saying a few words.

He Zijin hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the civilian girl should take her leave."

"No hurry, I haven't seen the green chrysanthemum yet. Have a meal first, try it. The pigeon soup in the palace is stewed very well." Emperor Mu Yuan likes to hear He Zijin talk and also likes to talk to her. Although he knows that He Zijin is a little nervous and has some precautions, as long as he speaks, He Zijin can throw away those nervousness and talk about all kinds of interesting things with rich eyes.

Seeing that Emperor Mu Yuan talked about Lu Ju again, He Zijin was not very happy and didn't want to refuse again.

He Zijin has not eaten good food. Her own conditions are limited, but Master Chaoyun has always had high requirements for diet, such as pigeon soup. She has drunk pigeon soup in the palace this time, of course, it tastes very good.

Emperor Mu Yuan was very concerned and asked her, "How is it smelling?"

He Zijin nodded, "It's very good. The soup is clear and clear, and the taste is mellow, so good soup."

Emperor Mu Yuan ordered the eunuch to reward the cook with ten taels of silver, and then called He Zijin to eat other dishes. No matter what kind of dishes, He Zijin could say one and a half sentence. The atmosphere was so harmonious. Even Emperor Mu Yuan ate half a bowl of rice.

After lunch, Emperor Mu Yuan asked He Zijin to help him see the green chrysanthemum. He Zijin was a veteran of raising green chrysanthemums. After talking about the green chrysanthemums in winter, he took his leave. Emperor Mu Yuan ordered someone to take a silver fox fur, and Emperor Mu Yuan personally put it on He Zijin and said, "It's cold outside."

He Zijin stared at her eyes widened and couldn't speak anymore.

Emperor Mu Yuan laughed and said, "Go."

He Zijin was blessed and retired.

Behind him, Emperor Mu Yuan couldn't help but show a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

After He Zijin left the palace, Shen Su was still waiting for her, and the Cowherd from the Internal Affairs Department, thanked He Zijin and thanked him again. He Zijin didn't have much, just looked at Cowherd for a more time, but the Cowherd's expression did not change at all.

Shen Su was still riding with her niece. In the car, He Zijin told her about the matter. Shen Su was shocked and didn't ask much, saying, "Let's talk about it when you get home."

Shen Su himself had no experience of seeing You alone, but He Zijin stayed with Emperor Mu Yuan for half a day and kept food in the palace. Shen Su was so worried that she asked her niece to speak in the study as soon as she arrived home. He Zijin said, "Your Majesty asked me about Master Chaoyun."

Chen Su breathed a sigh of relief, and He Zijin said again, "But I have seen Your Majesty a long time ago. That day, A Xuan took me and A Nian to meet me at the gate of Taipingju. Later, we went to Xishan to dig the spring water and met again. If we hadn't met in the palace, we would have never thought that it would be Your Majesty."

Chen Su asked what he said in the palace again, and He Zijin said roughly, Chen Su said, "There is no problem except for talking too much."

He Zijin said, "Your Majesty asked me, but I must not refuse to say it."

Chen Su said, "You should say less, you can say one word, not two words."

He Zijin said that he remembered that Chen Su also knew how uncomfortable it would be to not let her speak for a chatter chatter.

The uncle and nephew were talking, but Old Madam He couldn't help but come over. When she saw her girl, she asked, "Is the flowers in the palace okay?" Hey, she said, her girl's skills are really not good, she is better than the gardeners in the palace.

He Zijin said, "It's nothing, it's just that winter is a bit cold, so I'll take a look."

Old Madam He felt relieved. She saw the silver fur fur on her girl's body with sharp eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Where did the clothes come from?"

"Your Majesty rewards me."

Old Niang He saw a flash of eyes and she almost planted on the ground. The hand that was about to touch the silver fox fur quickly took it back and asked again, "Who?"

"His Majesty!"

"Master Emperor?"

"Um."

Old Madam He immediately made an arrangement and said to Shen, "Tomorrow, our family will go to the temple to burn incense. Oh my god, where did this girl get the blessing? She will meet the emperor! Oh my god, your great-grandfather's grave will also be blushing from the grave!" As she said that, she put her hands together and bowed eastward.

Shen didn't understand, "Didn't you look at the flowers? Why did you still see His Majesty?"

"It's all about Master Chaoyun. Your Majesty is Master Chaoyun's cousin. I ask about my current situation. I know that Master Chaoyun likes to cough in winter, so I also asked Doctor Xia to treat Master Chaoyun next year."

Shen couldn't help but be happy and said with a smile, "This is good news." No matter what, her family got a lot of benefits from Taoist Chaoyun, and she was looking forward to Taoist Chaoyun's good luck. She also thought that her daughter was indeed smart and knew that when she talked about Taoist Chaoyun's body, it would be a blessing for Taoist Chaoyun to be treated with the magic doctor.

Seeing that it was okay, He Zijin was very happy to have white clothes.

In addition to Shen Su, both families felt that He Zijin was indeed lucky, and this was certain.

After dealing with the elders, He Zijin spoke to A Nian privately, and then A Nian asked the old ghost, "Didn't you say you were an official in your previous life? Haven't you seen Your Majesty? Why didn't you remind us before?"

A Nian also asked the old ghost this way. The old ghost just sighed quietly and said nothing. How did A Nian ask, he just thought he was a dead deaf person. You said to be angry with A Nian, and said to Sister Zijin, "Don't say anything about him! Just think he is dead!"
