Broken wings

A brother said helplessly: "Didn't the people in our miscellaneous room go out to do the work of the batch of work above, the mining outside the palace? "

"Our handyman room is doing the hardest errand, but the pay is the least, and anyone can give us a look, why?"

"That's it, these are all errands outside the palace, and the people in the palace are also mobilized to go out to do it, making it clear that the people outside want to be idle. "

Ouyang Qian smiled and said, "It's just a mine, won't we finish it together soon?"

"It's done, we're all doing hard work, and we can't rest for a while!"

Ouyang Qian shrugged helplessly: "This is the meaning above, it's useless for you to make a face so bitterly." "

"It's because we can't resist that we are aggrieved! Even if we take a Mount Tai and press it on top of our heads, we have to carry it, and there is no room to say no!"

After

a few words, the big guys began to pick and choose, and they put all the unfair treatment they had received over the years on the table and said: "We have not been looked down upon for so many years, and we have all been trampled under our feet! We are here for all the hard work, and we should die if we do it together, right?"

"No one has ever condoled us once, just because we are brutes, and no one cares whether we live or die!"

"I thought it would be good to survive these few years, and it would be good to get through it, but I didn't expect that after so many years, it still hasn't changed at all!".

Seeing that they were so angry, Ouyang Qian hurriedly stopped: "Everyone, dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger, do you think that the heavy work done by going out of the palace is too small and the amount of money distributed is too small, so you think it is unfair?"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded: "That's the reason, don't treat us as human beings." "

Ouyang Qianfu asked again, "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

"What are you going to do?" they all looked at each other.

"Since you think that the silver in your hand is too small, I will apply to the emperor and give you more silver, won't the problem be solved?"

The air was quiet for a while, they looked around, and then a group of people walked two steps away, discussed for a while, and returned to Ouyang Qian, looking at him cautiously: "Can you really apply for us?"

"I try. He just paid for it himself to calm the anger of the people, so as not to have too much resentment against his father-in-law. The father-in-law is high, where can I hear these idle voices? There is nothing wrong with thinking about myself in a lower position, at least the good and bad voices can be heard, and when the problem arises, it can quietly help him calm it down.

"Fifty of us went to mine this mine, and we worked for a month, and we had to give us two taels of silver each. A brother gestured two fingers and looked at Ouyang Qian's face cautiously, with the trepidation of being afraid that he would ask for more.

Ouyang Qian took a breath and rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, thinking that it would take a lot to calm everyone's anger.

"Okay, don't be embarrassed, let's do our job. Ouyang Qian said that he went to his room to rest.

They were in a circle, and their faces were very good-looking.

"Two taels of silver, our annual salary is not so much, can he really apply for us?"

"He can't be without us, is he? Why don't I feel unreliable?".

"Who are they? The big red man in front of the emperor, how much silver have you never seen? Two taels of silver will make you happy like this! According to me, the emperor must have secretly given him a lot of benefits, otherwise he could be so desperately loyal to the emperor?"

"What are

you talking about? What does it have to do with us how much benefit the emperor gives to others? If people are willing to work for our welfare, it is our good luck, otherwise we have to do it with a few dollars of silver, right?"

"Come on, let's

disperse, let's get to work......

".

The mess is scattered.

When Long Ting entered the palace and saw his injury, he smacked his tongue in surprise: "As for it?"

"As for whether it is or not, it is all up to the emperor, I escaped some time ago. Ouyang Qian looked at him, his eyes revealing infinite confusion, "I went home, but I was caught, and I was caught with a stick on my calf, which cracked my bones, and I couldn't walk for more than a month." "

"They don't know about you being demoted to slavery yet...... Nanfeng didn't know about it," Long Ting tentatively asked, Ouyang Qian asked, "Are they back?"

Long Ting shook his head: "Nanfang has written to me, saying that they will come back soon, but the money is not spent, and I estimate that they will not come back." "

"Don't talk to them about it, I'll get through it. "

Long Ting sighed, "Sooner or later, they will all know. "

"At least don't say it now, my brother can't hold his breath, he knows that he will definitely make trouble with his father-in-law, and I don't want them to be angry with his temper. "

Long Ting threw the money bag on the table, glanced at his legs, and stopped talking.

"My money is almost gone, here and there. Ouyang Qian carried the money bag, "Fortunately, they don't want much, in fact, they should give them more, every day is so hard, and the treatment is still the worst." "

"Aren't you working hard every day?, who thinks about your treatment?" Long Ting glared, "It's just that you are too bad and kind, if I were you, I have done so much for the emperor, I have to let him know everything, why do I work hard to make him a good person, and he deserves ......."

"It's done, don't be so resentful. "

"Does your wound still hurt?" Long Ting glanced at him, Ouyang Qian touched it, and said softly, "It doesn't hurt anymore." "

"Fuck your shit. Long Ting glanced at him, and Ouyang Qian smiled helplessly, "You know that I hurt, and you still ask knowingly." "

"Wait honestly, I'll buy a chicken and put it in the miscellaneous room for you to stew. "

"Come on, I'm sorry for your trouble. Ouyang Qian made a gesture, and Long Ting left.

Ouyang Qian walked out with the money bag and shouted at everyone to get together: "Brothers, the brothers who were assigned to go to the mines a few days ago came over, and the silver supplied by the emperor has come down." "

When everyone who was doing the work heard the voice, they hurriedly put down the work in their hands and came over, and some of the people who were not assigned also came to stand next to watch the excitement.

"The emperor sympathizes with everyone's hard work in mining the mine, and gives a special reward of ten taels of silver per person, and queues up to come to me to receive it. "

"Ten taels?!" Suddenly the crowd exploded, and they couldn't believe their ears, ten taels of silver was the reward for five years of hard labor in the miscellaneous house, and they could get it by going out to do a month's work, they all thought they were dreaming.

And those who were not allotted lamented: "Ah?! so much silver, I knew I had gone in the first place." "

"That's a lot of silver, ......

."

Ouyang Qian said loudly: "Please come to me with your work card to receive it, don't be discouraged if you don't get it, please do your work hard, your actions can be seen by the emperor, and I will go to the emperor to report the reward." "

Everyone who wanted to get the silver thanked Ouyang Qian one after another: "It's Ziyi who helps us fight for welfare, so we can get so much compensation, originally a few dollars of silver for a person, but now it has multiplied so much, brothers thank you!"

"Thank you, ......

."

Ouyang Qian smiled slightly: "I hope you understand that the emperor is kind-hearted and cares about the people, please be more loyal to the emperor." "

"Affirmative ......

".

After distributing the silver, Ouyang Qian returned to the firewood room, he couldn't sleep, his shoulders were burning with pain, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he looked at the big hole in the roof. In such a short period of time, I have experienced two lives and deaths, and sure enough, only when my life hangs by a thread, I know what I want, and I know what I cherish, as if every time I experience a major disaster, I can better understand the meaning of my life.

He knew that he would be cranky when he was idle, so he simply got up and wanted to help with some work, and they were like a plague, and they wouldn't let him touch it, and whatever he wanted to do, they quickly moved away, which made him depressed for a while. It's good to be able to rest, but he's also afraid of gossip, and with so many mouths in the miscellaneous room, a few mouthfuls of saliva are enough to squirt himself to death.

Chu Yan saw that his second monk was confused, and walked over and said: "Previously, the Hou Ye gave the miscellaneous room a good prestige, but now they are scared to death, how dare you do heavy work." "

Ouyang Qian smiled helplessly: "I know." "

It's boring to have no work to do, and he doesn't want to stare idle, so he takes a book and reads it, it's rare to stay so quietly.

Chu Yan walked over and said with a smile: "Qian'er, if you have time, rest for a while, don't be so tired all the time, your injury is not healed yet." "

Ouyang Qian raised his head and saw Chu Yan, and said with a smile: "It's rare to have free time, so I want to read more books." "

Chu Yan said with a smile: "You are an ambitious child, at your age, it is very rare not to be pampered." "

After reading a book, he opened the scroll and began to draw, in fact, since he entered the handyman room, he has rarely read books to practice calligraphy and draw.

When Yuan Zhen stepped into the miscellaneous room, everyone hurriedly put down the work in their hands and bowed down: "Slaves to meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." "

"Get up. Yuan Zhen walked directly and entered the firewood room, Ouyang Qian was bending down and standing at the table to draw, and when he saw Yuan Zhen coming, he also got up and knelt on the ground, "The slave greets the emperor." "

Yuan Zhen walked up to him: "So good interest in painting?".

Ouyang Qian bowed more and more, and said respectfully: "Yes." "

"Get up, don't kneel. Yuan Zhen greeted him while picking up the painting to see, he painted a picture of the distant mountains of the crane, which was extraordinarily meaningful, making people feel extra relaxed and happy, as if they were in that landscape in an instant.

Ouyang Qian stood up and stood aside, seeing that he was very interested in this painting, and explained aloud: "The painting is almost finished, it would be good to enrich the details." "

"Yes, you can add two more and give them to me. It could be seen that he was in a good mood today, Ouyang Qian bowed down and took it, traced a few more details, and when the ink stains were dry, he rolled them up and tied them up and put them on the table, "Thank you for not disliking the clumsy work of the slaves." "

"Hmm. Yuan Zhen hugged the painting to his side, and glanced at his shoulder, what he wanted to say was still difficult to say.

Ouyang Qian asked hesitantly, "Do you have something to say to the minion?"

"Hmm......" Yuan Zhen waved his hand, "You sit, you sit ......."

Ouyang Qian sat across from him and waited for his next step.

"Long Ting told me about you scattering money to help me settle my grievances. "

Ouyang Qian lowered his head: "It's nothing, the slave is in the lower position, and the voices he hears are varied, so he can help a little." "

"Follow me back to the Chengming Palace, and you will be on full-time duty in the future, and the miscellaneous room will ...... It doesn't have to come again. "

Ouyang Qian guessed that Song Yemin and his party thought that they couldn't get up after they were abolished, so they found someone to come in to find fault, and the father-in-law probably wanted to restore his identity, but he didn't care about the so-called identity at all.

"When the slave can be on full-time duty, go out again, there are still many things where the slave's words and deeds are not right, and you still need to learn more. "

Yuan Zhen was dumbfounded, and asked with difficulty: "Are you, are you weird?"

Ouyang Qian

shook his head gloomily, Yuan Zhen rarely bowed his head, Ouyang Qian was unwilling to accept this will, he could only leave in a huff.
