Comprehensive film and television: The Queen of Rolls Opens the Roll Again

The next day, it was almost time for breakfast. The two brothers, who had talked heartily all night, looked at each other's haggard appearance with red and swollen eyes. They lingered in the tea room for a long time, but neither of them had the courage to go out.

Today, people asked people to put the water for washing faces at the door, and they went to fetch it themselves.

"Brother Yuanzheng, why don't you research some medicine to reduce eye swelling?" Gong Shangjiao complained with a cold face.

"I've never cried for so long before." Gong Yuanzheng looked up at the roof.

"The same thing last year?" Gong Shangjiao poked his scar coldly.

"My brother didn't come out to see me all night, who should I cry to?" Gong Yuanzheng said confidently. The words have been spoken, the scars have scabbed over, and it doesn't hurt to poke it.

Gong Shangjiao was so choked by his brother's shamelessness that he was speechless. After a while, he glanced at him with disdain: "Is this how you usually talk to Zheng Zhaozhao? I don't know what she likes about you."

"Zhao Zhao likes my frankness." Gong Yuanzheng looked at his brother with a sidelong glance, also slightly disdainful, "She and I both say what we think and say what we want directly. Zhao Zhao will never make excuses if she can satisfy me. I treat Zhao Zhao the same way."

Gong Shangjiao was choked again and glared, "I'm used to it, I didn't mean it!"

"Nonsense." Gong Yuanzheng exposed it without giving him face, and said sarcastically: "Brother is enjoying it. Brother always thinks he is very smart and likes to make people guess. In the past, he thought I was stupid and didn't want to play with me, but now he finally met someone who can see through his mind. Someone plays with you, so he is happy even if he can't win, and he is also happy if he loses money..."

"Nonsense!" Gong Shangjiao interrupted him angrily, raised his hand to pull his brother over, clamped his neck with his armpits, and rubbed his head hard, "Try to talk nonsense again!"

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Gong Yuanzheng struggled hard, and even though his hair was rubbed into a mess, he still yelled, "Brother has been defeated time and time again, but he still persists. Sooner or later, he will piss off Zhao Zhao and get spanked!"

"I think you want to be spanked!" Gong Shangjiao's face turned red with anger. He let go of the man and went to find a stick, intending to give him a meal of "Stir-fried Bamboo Shoots and Pork" to replenish his energy first.

There was a knock on the door, and the two brothers shouted in unison: "Why are you knocking? We are busy!"

There was silence outside the door for a few seconds, and Zhang Xueming's voice came through the door: "Oh, then you guys are busy, I'll eat the mutton noodles by myself."

The two brothers hurried to open the door, and one of them leaned behind the door with half an eye exposed. They saw food boxes and soup buckets on the ground and no one else. Then they quickly called Zhang Xueming in and carried the things outside the door into the tea room. They did not go into the dining room.

Zhang Xueming glanced at the brothers' swollen eyelids and handed a small porcelain box to Gong Yuanzheng with a smile: "Wipe it on your eyelids, and you'll be fine after dinner."

Gong Yuanzheng opened it and smelled it, then he named all the herbs inside. Zhang Xueming patted his head as a reward and said, "Go and wipe it off."

After eating the noodles, their red and swollen eyelids returned to normal, and they became handsome young men again.

Gong Shangjiao went back to Jiao Palace after breakfast. After the morning exercise time, he came again.

Not only did he bring the thunder zither "Qiuming" promised to Zhang Xueming, he also brought spare clothes, daily necessities, official documents, old account books, and a group of accountants with dark circles under their eyes, who looked like they were going to live in Zheng Palace for a long time.

Zhang Xueming heard the brothers fighting outside the side hall in the morning. Later, when she heard Gong Yuanzheng tell her about the general content of the brothers' conversation last night, she knew that the balance in Gong Shangjiao's heart had tilted. Of course, he didn't mind him taking the initiative to come to her and accept her warmth.

After all, it is true that it is the responsibility of the sword bearer to guard the palace, but the ancestors of the Gong family did not stipulate how many years a sword bearer must serve before resigning, right?

The kidnapping plan had taken another big step forward, and Zhang Xueming praised himself for his efficiency in his heart.

She looked at Gong Yuanzheng inquiringly.

Gong Yuanzheng was quite happy that his relationship with his brother had become better, but he felt a bit of a headache when he thought that fighting between his brother and Zhao Zhao would become a regular occurrence in the future.

But in the end he nodded in welcome.

Gong Yuanzheng nodded, and Zhang Xueming had people deliver Gong Shangjiao's belongings to the residence that Gong Yuanzheng had prepared for him many years ago. He also opened a small hall next door to house the account books and bookkeepers, and invited Gong Shangjiao to do as he pleased.

Gong Shangjiao also named the small palace where he lived Chunyangju, and said he would order a custom-made plaque from the Shang Palace to hang it.

Zhang Xueming was in a good mood and smiled sweetly. He revealed Gong Shangjiao's thoughts and explained Gong Yuanzheng's doubts: "Since my brother has such a refined taste, let's make a plaque and hang it up in the palace where Ayuan and I live. My brother was born in the first month of the year, so his residence is named 'Chun Yang Ju'. Ayuan was born in the second month of the year. Other nicknames for the second month include Zhongchun, Zhongyang, Chunzhong, and Huachao. Which one is better?"

Gong Yuanzheng had no particular preference for these. Just as he was about to choose the first one, he heard Zhang Xueming say, "Hey, I like the name Huachao. Why don't you switch with me, Ayuan? I'll use Huachaoju and Ayuan can use Miaoxiaju, okay?"

"This is good, we want this one." Gong Yuanzheng's eyes lit up and he made a prompt decision, leaving Gong Shangjiao no chance to cause trouble.

Zhang Xueming picked up a pen and wrote it down, and asked Jin Miao to deliver it to the Shang Palace, just in time to deliver the gift that he had asked Su Rong to prepare yesterday to Gong Zishang.

When Gong Yuanzheng heard that he was going to give Gong Zishang a gift, he pouted unhappily after Jin Miao left: "A gift? What gift to Gong Zishang? Gong Ziyu can't have said in public at Yu Palace yesterday that Jin Fan wouldn't like her, and today he can let Jin Fan marry her, right?"

Zhang Xueming patted his arm gently. "Ayuan, you know the inside story, don't be so mean. It's a good thing that my elder sister can see Gong Ziyu clearly and break off her relationship with Yu Gong. If it weren't for what happened yesterday, she wouldn't have been estranged from Yu Gong without a reasonable reason. 'Forgetting righteousness for the sake of profit' and 'changing ruth with the wind' are not good reputations."

Seeing Gong Shangjiao leaning his body slightly and listening with his ears perked up, Zhang Xueming deliberately stopped talking and gave Gong Yuanzheng a look.

Gong Yuanzheng quickly glanced at Gong Shangjiao, and the image of him as a brother, which had already been almost broken, was shattered again.

He understood and cooperated with Zhang Xueming to change the topic, just like the tacit understanding between the two of them last night when they cooperated to trick Gong Shangjiao into playing the antique piano.

Gong Shangjiao wanted to hear the whole story but couldn't. He felt itchy inside like a cat scratching him and secretly hated his little brother for not living up to his expectations and being easily diverted.

Thinking of what Gong Yuanzheng had said, he hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "Zhao Zhao, you haven't told me why you wanted to send a gift to Gong Zishang. Also, what happened to Gong Zishang in Yu Palace yesterday? Why was brother Yuanzheng so angry just now?"

If you want to hear gossip, you have to take me with you. Gong Yuanzheng pouted quietly.

Zhang Xueming stroked his back and he became happy again.

"The Yu Palace is the origin and distribution center of the palace's rumors. Once Lao Zhiren and Ming Wuji fall, won't the uncontrolled double-edged sword cut the Yu Palace?" Zhang Xueming laughed, "Brother will never think that what happened in the Yu Palace in the morning will be reported to our Zheng Palace in the afternoon. We don't need spies at all."

She told him about how Gong Zishang went to Yu Palace yesterday and was caused trouble by Gong Ziyu, and then said, "The gift is to congratulate her for getting the power to manage the internal affairs of Shang Palace."

"How did Zhaozhao make that judgment?" Gong Shangjiao poured her a cup of beauty-enhancing herbal tea and gestured for her to come in.

Zhang Xueming nodded happily and said, "Ayuan and I went to the Shang Palace earlier. The wife of the king came to us and I noticed that she had a peony hairpin inlaid with gold and ruby ​​made of filigree inlay. It was a new style released by the gold and silver shop under my control at the end of November. It must not be among the treasures that my brother brought back to the palace.

All the clothes, jewelry, and accessories of Madam Wang are not as valuable as the hairpin. The hairpin could not have been bought for her by the old Palace Master of Shang Palace.

The only explanation is that the steward brought it back from outside the palace as a gift to her. However, the hairpin was very valuable. If the steward was willing to give such an expensive thing, he must have made a lot of money on weekdays. It was no doubt that the two sides had joined forces to embezzle.

The weapons produced by the Shang Palace all have unique markings. The only things that can be sold without attracting attention are probably the rare and lightweight forging materials and blueprints.

At that time, I hadn't discovered the Liu family's affairs, so I didn't say anything. After all, it was a matter of another palace. But once the Liu family's affairs were exposed, it was obvious that other families were not as bold as the Liu family, and they had channels to frequently go in and out of the valley to bring goods. When the wife of the Wang side was involved in such a matter, the Elders' Council would not care whose concubine she was.

Now that she is gone, who else can manage the internal affairs of the Shang Palace if not her? I sent someone to send a gift, but it was just a coincidence and I just wanted to give her a helping hand. "

Sure enough, at lunch time, Gong Zishang followed the people carrying the plaque to Zheng Palace. When they met, he hugged Zhang Xueming and said, "Good Zhao Zhao, your gift is just in time! As soon as the green jade servant of Zheng Palace came, he handed over the gift and said that Master Zhiren Bingzheng and Miss Zhao He were one step closer to officially taking over Shang Palace. The old man immediately gave me the deputy order of the palace master and asked the stewards to come and pay me a visit. I didn't even get scolded!"
