Cheng Cheng became interested, but Concubine Zhao's hand was still stroking his face, and her eyes that were full of autumn water were only staring at him, without any intention of picking him up.

A burst of footsteps came from behind Cheng Cheng, followed by a clear voice, "My concubine, it's windy outside, go back and rest quickly, or I will feel bad if I catch a cold."

Concubine Zhao seemed to have just seen the emperor, she withdrew her hand, and slowly bowed to the emperor.

The emperor immediately supported her and said distressedly: "Didn't you forgive me a long time ago? Why don't you always listen?"

"There is no rule without rules. The emperor exempted me from the courtesy, but as a concubine, I have to do enough courtesy, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the emperor."

"I don't need to care so much about my concubine. Is someone bullying you with this matter? You tell me, I have to take his skin off."

The emperor walked into the hall with his arms around Concubine Zhaogui's waist. Cheng Cheng waited until he could no longer see them before standing up and shaking his legs. Kneeling for so long, his knees ached.I don't know how the original owner's flesh grew. After being a slave for so long, his skin is not rough at all, and is very delicate.

He picked up the big broom from the ground and continued to sweep the floor, wanting to finish the work earlier and go back to apply some ointment, but when he was about to leave after sweeping, the maid who ate his tofu stopped him.

She blushed, as if she didn't dare to look directly at Cheng Cheng, she lowered her head and said, "The imperial concubine asked you to come here to sweep the floor tomorrow."

"But this was originally the work of the Zhijian Palace. I'm afraid it's not good if I cut it off?" Cheng Cheng wrinkled his face and said sadly, "If both sides are offended, I'm afraid my life in the palace will be difficult."

The little maid has always stayed by Concubine Zhao's side, and she is used to her awe and prestige. Now that she heard Cheng Cheng say that, she was quite angry, and immediately said: "You are the concubine's relative, I want to see who dares to come here." bully you."

Seeing Cheng Cheng staring at him as he spoke, his face turned red again, and he stammered, "Anyway, don't worry, just don't forget to come tomorrow."

Cheng Cheng glared at her and said, "So, thank you sister."

"Uh-huh."

After leaving Zhaochun Palace, Cheng Sheng returned to his residence.Not long after the original owner entered the palace, he was still a young eunuch, living in Tatan, and sleeping in the Datong bunk with 5 other young eunuchs.

There is no one in the room at the moment, which is convenient for Cheng Cheng.He asked 1404 to open the Points Mall, and mixed a box of ointment for himself. Da Lala occupied the entire shop, and he rolled up his trouser legs. As expected, he saw red knees, some of which were even worn out, and leaked out. With blood, the moment the ointment was applied, it was a burning pain, and it took a while for the cooling sensation to rise.

After the medicine penetrated into it, he tidied up his clothes and went to the original owner's master first.

Master Zhang Lanji is a celebrity around the queen, ranked in the Lan family, and entered the palace at the same time as Zheng Lanhua.It was a coincidence that the original owner and Zhang Lanji met. At that time, Zhang Qingyao lowered his head and didn't look at the road while holding something, and bumped into this adult. He thought he would be severely scolded, but the other party asked him to look up and look carefully. Afterwards, he was very kind She accepted him as an apprentice, and has been treating him very well ever since.

Zhang Qingyao is quite comfortable in this palace, it can be said that it is thanks to the care of this father-in-law.

But there is no such thing as good for no reason in this world, and the original owner has always been a little wary of Zhang Lanji.It doesn't matter to Cheng Cheng, as long as he lives a comfortable life and can marry his wife to complete the task, he has no other requirements.

Soon they arrived at Zhang Lanji's residence. When Cheng Cheng entered, he was squinting his eyes and resting.

"Master." Cheng Cheng saluted Zhang Lanji respectfully.

Zhang Lanji tried his best to open his eyes, but his face was full of flesh, and his eyes were squeezed into a slit, and now he opened them as if they hadn't.

"Hey, Qingyao, are you here? How long have you been standing? Sit down quickly." Zhang Lanji stood up with difficulty, the fat on his body trembling because of his movements.

Cheng Cheng hurried up to help him, lest he accidentally fall off like a rubber ball.

"It's better to be Qingyao." Zhang Lanji patted his hand lightly, signaling Cheng Cheng to let go.

After he sat firmly, Cheng Cheng let go and returned to his original position, saying: "I met Mr. Zheng today, and he said that Master, you are going to drink tea with him at night."

Zhang Lanji snorted coldly: "What? He asked you to go too? This guy is a beast, who doesn't know his ghostly thoughts?"

Cheng Cheng bowed his head in silence, Zhang Lanji looked at Cheng Cheng's aggrieved look and said kindly: "Qingyao don't have to be afraid, don't worry, as long as the family is safe, nothing will happen to you."

Zhang Lanji spoke some more personal words to Cheng Cheng, and when the time was almost up, two young eunuchs came and called them over.

When he was there, Cheng Cheng saw Zheng Lanhua had prepared a large table of dishes waiting for him, and when the two of them entered, he sent everyone around him away. He had a sincere expression and a sincere attitude, as if their relationship was real. So good that we can share a room drinking and having fun.

He poured Zhang Lanji a glass of wine and said with emotion: "Thinking that it has been 10 years since we sat at the same table for dinner last time, it was beyond my expectation that Mr. Zhang was invited to come here this time. Come on, do this cup."

What he said was quite heroic, but it seemed a bit nondescript when paired with those well-turned orchid fingers.

After a few glasses of wine, Zheng Lanhua looked a little drunk and talked a lot more. After turning a few corners, she showed her big tail and said what she really meant.

"Qingyao is also really right for the Sa family's eyes. His appearance and temperament are first-class. The Sa family intends to accept an apprentice. Mr. Zhang sees Qingyao..."

He only said half of what he said, but everyone knows the rest.

"It's not common to transfer apprentices, how about this, 100 taels of silver is a little bit of my heart, Mr. Zhang can buy more fertile land outside the palace, or order a few more delicious snacks in Yucui Building."

As soon as he said this, Cheng Cheng was secretly startled. You must know that two taels of silver are enough for ordinary people to live comfortably for a year. The amount of this hundred taels of silver is not insignificant. It's a lot of money, if such a good thing falls on Cheng Sheng's head, he will be quite vacillating.

Although Zhang Lanji was really good to the original owner, Cheng Cheng hadn't had much hope for human nature since he was a child, and his heart sank a lot when he heard Zheng Lanhua's words.

Zheng Lanhua looked at Cheng Cheng drunkenly, his already pure face looked even more charming under the light of the bronze candle lamp, he almost imagined how a beauty of this color would be teased by him between the curtains, sobbing and mournful, and endured He couldn't help but want to grab Cheng Cheng's wrist immediately, but he didn't care about Zhang Lanji who was next to him in such a hurry, because in his opinion, no one would be stupid enough to refuse the hundred taels of snowflake silver that he got for free.

He slowly approached Cheng Cheng, the smell of alcohol permeating his nostrils, Cheng Cheng frowned, his hands under the table clenched into fists.

"Master Zheng." Zhang Lanji's voice suddenly sounded, and the voice was full of smiles before, and he said coldly, "This hundred taels of silver is no good for Mr. Zhang, you can keep it for yourself. This child Qingyao is a good eye for everyone." Yuan, after accepting him as an apprentice for a period of time, I love him even more. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not steal people's love. Although Mr. Zheng is less fleshy than a real gentleman, he must still have a strong character, and he will not do strong business. business, right?"

His words were like stabbing Zheng Lanhua's heart with a knife, and the apex of his heart was bleeding. Zheng Lanhua was already a little drunk, but he couldn't stand being ridiculed at this moment, and he pinched the orchid with his fingers. Looking at the white porcelain wine bottle on the table, he wanted to throw it at Zhang Lanji.

Seeing this, Cheng Cheng hurriedly mobilized his energy and stumbled at Zheng Lanhua's heels. After he fell into a coma by himself, he began to shout in panic, and the little eunuchs outside hurried in to clean up the mess.

Zhang Lanji didn't expect Zheng Lanhua to be so drunk that he lost consciousness when he saw people, so he took Cheng Cheng out the door, and those little eunuchs didn't dare to stop him, and their way back to the house was unimpeded.

Zhang Lanji reminded him a lot along the way: "When that guy wakes up, he will inevitably trouble you. If you can hide, you can hide. If you can't hide, you can use the family as a shield. This palace is not a place where he has the final say. Then One month is the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor wants to hold a big palace banquet, and the palace will be full of preparations in a few days. As long as his brain is not broken today, at least he won't come to trouble you this month. It's just that he eats It’s a dark loss, small tricks must be indispensable, you might as well hold back a little bit recently.”

Cheng Cheng nodded hurriedly, his mouth curled into a slight smile, and he said happily: "I don't know where I got the blessing to meet such a protective master."

Zhang Lanji tapped his forehead with a smile. Cheng Cheng felt that he was getting closer to him again. Although he just jumped into this world today, he integrated the memory of the original owner and personally experienced Zhang Lanji's intention of protecting him. Right now, I just feel very warm inside.

When he sent Zhang Lanji to the house to rest and returned to his residence, it was already a quarter of an hour. When he returned to the room, the creaking sound of the old wooden door sounded, and the cold air came in, making several little eunuchs who had already slept on the common bunks wrap their bodies quilt.

Cheng Cheng knew that they were all awake with their eyes open, but he still stood on tiptoe in embarrassment and quickly undressed and went to bed.

There was an unwritten rule in the house that whoever came back at the latest had to sleep on the bed closest to the door.In summer, it is sweltering and hot, and the body is sticky with water vapor and sweat. In winter, it is cold, and it is even more difficult to sleep by the door, so this position is generally recognized as the worst.

The number of people who come back late every day is uncertain, and this is a common bed, and everyone sleeps on the move, there is no fixed bed, and Cheng Cheng can smell a sour smell before his head touches the pillow when lying on it, and he doesn't know this. The fabric of the pillow cover hadn't been washed for a long time, and the cotton inside hadn't been dried for a long time. He couldn't bear it, so he stood up and threw the pillow far away.

When he lay down again, he turned his back to the door, only to find that Xiao Xiazi who was next to the bed suddenly approached him, staring at him with a pair of eyes shining brightly under the moonlight shining through the wooden window.

He leaned over and asked himself affectionately: "Brother, where did you go today? Did you come back so late?"

"I didn't go anywhere, Eunuch Zheng's. He invited my master to drink tea, so I stopped by."

After hearing this, Xia Qingyuan said enviously: "I guess Eunuch Zheng has taken a fancy to you, right? Did he ask Eunuch Zhang for you?"

Cheng Cheng gave him a strange look and said, "Do you still think it's a good thing to be regarded by him? Didn't you see those little eunuchs who came out of his house? Originally, the front can't be used to pass on the family line, and the back is still used by him." He was tossed badly, and he got a lot of good things, but does he look like a human being?"

"I know." Xia Qingyuan rolled over and lay on his back, "Brother, not everyone like you can be hugged by Eunuch Zhang's thighs as soon as they enter the palace. If you think about it from my standpoint, you will think that Eunuch Zheng is actually It’s pretty good. The total is just being messed around a few times, and the benefits are real. If you have money, you can do anything, your mother doesn’t have to suffer, and you can live a good life..., not only not bad, but also a good life. You can do whatever you want, sleep when you want to sleep, eat when you want to eat, you can pay someone to teach you how to read and write, and you don’t have to do dirty work every day.”

When he said this, his voice was a little softer: "How many people have worked so hard for a lifetime and can't see so much money? Now you only need to pay a little bit to go out and get so much in return. Brother, you are still too high-minded."

The original owner got along well with Xia Qingyuan, so he knew some details about him.

Xia Qingyuan was sent in by his parents who cut off his descendants. At the beginning, he cried and quarreled at the gate of the palace, still holding a book in his hand, howling that he wanted to become an official and honor his ancestors, but his father who was a butcher turned a deaf ear , slaughtered the two taels of meat under his crotch on the spot.Because he knows how to read and write, he is not bad-looking, delicate and well-behaved, and was taken into the palace with his tail hanging.

The original owner is quite a noble person. Although everyone lacks something, he feels that it is different for him to do things for Prince Jing. She wanted to isolate him, but Xia Qingyuan, a freak, stuck to him, and often told his tragic experiences with his cold face.

When he said this, it seemed that he was not the protagonist in it, and his whole person was in a state of half-smile.Looking back now, Cheng Cheng felt that Xia Qingyuan's mentality might have been distorted at that time.He immediately lost his sleepiness, stood up and poured chicken soup for his soul with Xia Qingyuan.

"Do you see how many people are actually happy in this magnificent palace? The emperor is worried about the world, and the concubines are trying to figure out the emperor's thoughts. They can't laugh for a few days in a year. Do they have money? Yes No one can be richer than them, but are they happy? There are also times when they are not happy. So don’t just look at how glamorous their lives are, maybe they cry worse behind us than us.”

"Xiao Xiazi, I will tell you a story. I wrote down this story when I was reading unofficial history. It is also about a father-in-law. He said that he was a gatekeeper in the palace when he was 13 years old. He is very studious, although His status is humble, his work is hard, but he still has lofty aspirations. He often spends his free time studying poetry and books. Whenever he goes to work in the Wenlin Museum, he will ask the scholars there for questions that he does not understand. A person of knowledge, plus he was originally a loyal man, and later by chance, he was appreciated by the emperor, and he was appointed as a servant to start a mansion, which is much higher than Zheng Lanhua's status, and he is even more prestigious."

"There are very few people who leave their names in the history books, but this father-in-law is in it. Your target should be him, not just staring at the position of Zheng Lanhua's male favorite. In fact, I found out early on that you are unusual, and it is definitely not Chi. The thing in the middle, as long as you have the strength to learn, sooner or later you will trample the person who hurt you. So be good, don't provoke that nasty guy like Zheng Lanhua, let's take a detour when we see him, okay?"

"And no matter how bad it is, there is still brother, brother who can't afford it will buy it for you, and brother who can't afford it will buy it for you. As long as a person is energetic, what can't be done? What's wrong with eunuchs? Eunuchs are also better than those self-righteous people are amazing."

When it came to the end, Cheng Cheng didn't know where his heroism came from, maybe he was touched by Zhang Lanji's protection tonight, and couldn't help but want to pass on this kindness to others.

Of course, he regretted it as soon as he said it, because the original owner was also poor, the kind that jingled, and that King Jing was also stingy, working for him was like a freelance job, and he had several jobs but only had the eunuch's salary.No, he has to find a way to mention this when he sends news next time. He can't work for nothing, it doesn't conform to his aesthetics of life.

The author has something to say: This world is an ancient background, and the business is very unfamiliar, so the writing is a bit slow, please bear with me~

The unofficial story of the little eunuch comes from "Yan's Family Instructions"
