"Father-in-law, we're here."

A small sedan carried by two people stopped on the street opposite the gate of Chief Assistant Liu Yi's house.

There were many cars and horses outside the gate of the Prime Minister's Palace. Many officials' sedans were parked outside the gate. There were also many officials wearing black veils and official robes waiting outside the gate.

Among the officials outside the mansion, most were in blue official uniforms. Only one or two were wearing red official uniforms, but the patches on their chests were the animal patterns of military commanders.

"It's really lively outside Mr. Liu's house. There is a saying that no one knows the poor on the street, but even if the rich are hiding in the mountains, people will come to their door." A sound of rough sand came from inside the sedan.

A white-faced man dressed as a servant outside the sedan said: "Master Liu is now the chief minister. It is inevitable that many people want to curry favor with him. Most of the people outside the door are here to curry favor with the chief minister."

The person in the sedan said: "Well, that makes sense. Since our family became eunuchs, there have been many more people in the palace who are willing to work with our family. It can be seen that no matter whether they are in the palace or outside the palace, as long as they are promoted

Once you get an official position, there will be people rushing to curry favor with you."

"My father-in-law is now a popular figure around the Holy Father. It is inevitable that some people want to please your father-in-law." The boy outside the sedan said flatteringly.

"You little monkey, you can make our family happy." The person in the sedan smiled, and then handed out a greeting card from the sedan window and said, "Take it and call the door. Be polite and don't let anyone say that our family is in need."

Got the etiquette."

The boy outside the sedan took the invitation with both hands and trotted to the front of Liu Yi's house.

"Stop, my master won't see any guests today."

The door outside the mansion stopped the boy who was about to walk up the steps.

The boy's face sank, and he said in a high-pitched voice: "Stop your dog's eyes, this is my father-in-law's invitation to see Mr. Liu, the chief assistant."

"It turns out it's my father-in-law. I'm rude." Menzi apologized hastily.

Thinking of what he had been told before coming over, the servant did not embarrass the disciple and just said: "This is a greeting card, please take it in and report it."

"Father, please wait a moment. The younger one will go in and report."

Menzi took the invitation with both hands, turned around and walked into the palace gate.

Some officials outside the palace noticed the young man and heard what he said. Knowing that he was a eunuch, they backed away one after another, not wanting to get too close.

For a moment, the area near the stone steps outside the mansion was empty. Only the servants and people from Liu's mansion were there.

After the boy noticed this, he snorted coldly.

Regarding this, he had a clear mind. These civil and military officials from foreign dynasties saw that eunuchs were like snakes and scorpions. At least on the surface, no officials from foreign dynasties were willing to get close to them.

The Liu Mansion's doorman took the invitation and sent it into the study.

Liu Yi took a look at the invitation and handed it to Han beside him, saying, "Yu Chen, look at this invitation. It was actually sent by a messenger from Mr. Wei who is beside the Holy Emperor."

Yuchen is the character for Han.

Han took a look at the invitation, threw it aside, and said with a sneer: "It seems that Eunuch Wei heard some rumors and knew that we were going to expel the Hakka family from the palace."

"He is now an eunuch with a pen, and his ears and eyes are normal." Liu Yi picked up the bowl and took a sip.

Han turned to look at Liu Yi and said, "Ji Hui plans to meet this Eunuch Wei?"

Liu Yi closed the lid of the bowl and said: "Since he is here and has sent someone to send a greeting card, we can't just stay behind closed doors. After all, he is also a famous person around the Holy Master."

"This person is just a flattering eunuch. There is no shortage of such people in any dynasty or generation. In the end, no one will end up well. Once the Hakka family is removed, the next one will deal with him." Han snorted.

Liu Yi smiled and said to the door: "Go and invite Eunuch Wei in. Remember to be polite."

"Yes." Menzi agreed and left the study.

"He's just a favored eunuch. Allowing him to enter this door is already a compliment to him." Han said expressionlessly.

Liu Yi smiled and said: "After all, he is also serving the Holy Master. It is not appropriate to offend him too deeply. Why don't you and I go out to greet him and meet this Eunuch Wei?"

"No need." Han Yi shook his head and said with a sneer, "How can we, the noble people, associate with such a flatterer?"

When Liu saw that Han really didn't like Wei Zhongxian, let alone going out to greet Wei Zhongxian, he said: "That's the case, then let's wait for him here."

Liu's Mansion is not a deep mansion. The disciple soon returned to the door of the mansion and saw the young father-in-law waiting outside the door. He hurriedly greeted him and said: "Eunuch, my father-in-law invites Eunuch Wei to come into the mansion for a chat."

"Where is Mr. Liu?" The young father-in-law dressed as a servant frowned.

The disciple said respectfully: "My master is in the study, talking to Mr. Han."

"Master Han, Minister of Household Affairs?" the boy asked.

Menzi replied: "It's Mr. Han from the Ministry of Husbandry."

"You wait, I'll go and invite my father-in-law." The boy said, quickly walked down the stone steps, and ran towards the small sedan opposite.

At this time, the officials outside the palace gate all looked at the small sedan carried by two people, guessing who the eunuch in the sedan was. Some people guessed that the person sitting inside should be the king's senior official in the palace.

The boy ran to the sedan chair and said through the window: "Father, the greeting invitation has been sent in, but Liu Jihui did not come out to greet you. The disciple said that Mr. Han, the Minister of Household Affairs, is also here."

There was no sound coming from inside the sedan for a while.

After a long time, the people in the sedan said, "We are just the servants of the emperor. If our family can enter this gate, we should be satisfied. Tell the bearer to carry our family in."

"Yes." The boy agreed, then turned to the bearer carrying the sedan chair and said, "Get on the sedan chair and enter the house."

Two bearers, one behind the other, carried the sedan tremblingly up the stone steps in front of Liu's mansion.

The doorman outside the mansion asked hurriedly: "Father, do you want this sedan to go in too?"

"Of course." said the boy beside the sedan, "otherwise you want my father-in-law to walk in?"

"this……"

Menzi hesitated for a moment, but finally did not stop him and allowed the sedan to be carried into the mansion, while he walked in front of the sedan to lead the way.

The sedan was carried to the small courtyard where the study was located and stopped.

The bearer pressed down the sedan chair, and the boy beside him lifted up the curtain of the sedan chair.

Han saw Wei Zhongxian coming out of the sedan through the window, snorted coldly and said: "As soon as he succeeds, he becomes arrogant. What a big arrogance. He actually entered Ji Hui's house in a sedan."

Liu Yi, who also noticed this scene, frowned and was equally unhappy with Wei Zhongxian's behavior.

After all, he was also the chief minister of the cabinet. When an eunuch with a pen came to his house, he did not get off the sedan chair. Instead, he had someone carry the sedan chair in. This was a bigger show than any of the important ministers in the court.

Han looked angrily and said: "When the ten-day break is over, I will come to visit him."

"A eunuch who is illiterate knows what etiquette, justice and integrity are, but we can't be rude and go out to greet him together." Liu Yi stood up and walked out the door.

"snort!"
