"Zhang County Cheng is really blessed and has a prosperous official career. He actually got to know Chen Hong, Eunuch Chen, the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor. We have nothing to worry about. In the future, Zhang County Cheng will become famous and prosperous, but don't forget that we are the ones who are here."
.”
"Zhang County Cheng is really enviable. Last time I went to Beijing, I met Mr. Yan Xiaoge, and this time I met Chen Eunuch, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse. With such a relationship, it will be difficult for Zhang County Cheng not to be successful in the future. Zhang County Cheng will be able to do well in the future.
want"
A group of subordinate officials stood up one after another to toast to Zhang Xian Cheng and flattered him, hoping that Zhang Xian Cheng would take care of them in the future.
As for whether making friends with eunuchs will be regarded as eunuchs or looked down upon by others, they have no such concerns at all. This is because no official these days is not forming a clique for personal gain, and making friends with eunuchs is quite common, even if the government is strict.
It is said that Mr. Ge treated the eunuchs in the palace with great courtesy and often made friends with them.
If they could become eunuchs, they would be eager to become eunuchs. By becoming eunuchs, they would at least have the opportunity to rise from the lowest end of the chain of contempt of the bureaucratic group, "officials", to become "officials", but they just don't have the chance. They know it, and they still have the opportunity.
They are not qualified to become eunuchs, and as they are, the eunuchs still look down upon them.
However, tomorrow is an opportunity, and you must seize it. If you can catch the eyes of the eunuch with the palm seal of the Royal Horse Guard, your future will be secure.
"Ahem, I am not acquainted with Eunuch Chen Hong, the eunuch of the Royal Horse Guard, but..." Listening to the compliments of a group of subordinates, Zhang Xiancheng coughed a little embarrassedly. After all, he was going to entertain a distinguished person tomorrow, so he didn't know it.
If you don't explain it clearly now, the joke will be bigger tomorrow.
What?!
Mr. Zhang, what did you say? You said you didn’t get to know Eunuch Chen Hong, the eunuch of the Royal Horse Guard?!
A group of subordinate officials were dumbfounded when they heard this, and their hearts were as excited as fire. Now after listening to Zhang Xiancheng's words, it was like a basin of cold water was poured on their pockets, and their enthusiasm was extinguished with a hiss.
Mr. Zhang, aren’t you making fun of us?!
You are not acquainted with Eunuch Chen Hongchen, the Eunuch of the Royal Horse Eunuch, so why are you telling us so much about Eunuch Chen Hongchen, the Eunuch of the Royal Horse Eunuch? Didn’t you make us happy in vain?!
Although the subordinate staff did not complain, their disappointment was palpable.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Xian Cheng smiled slightly. The old man picked up the tea cup and took another sip of tea. He waited until all the subordinates noticed his unexpected calmness and confidence before he calmed down.
He hurriedly said to everyone, "I didn't get to know Eunuch Chen Hong, the eunuch of the Royal Horse Guards, but it's not far away. It's easy to get to know Eunuch Chen through this noble man."
Mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and there is a bright future in another village! After listening to Zhang Xiancheng's words, all the subordinate officials were aroused with excitement again. Only now did they understand why they asked this distinguished guest in the first place to be responsible for purchasing gold, treasures and pearls.
As an adult, Zhang Xiancheng would meaningfully say yes and no.
"Mr. Zhang, please stop being so secretive and please tell us." Youxu said with a wry smile.
"Haha, this noble man is none other than Eunuch Qianxuqian, the godson of Eunuch Chen Hong, the eunuch of the equestrian eunuch." Zhang Xiancheng smiled and said to everyone, "Eunuch Chen, the eunuch of the eunuch eunuch, has received a total of four
Godson, this Eunuch Qian Xuqian is his youngest godson and the one he values the most."
It turns out that the noble man is Eunuch Qianxuqian, the godson of Eunuch Chen! No wonder Zhang Xiancheng said that it was easy to get to know Eunuch Chen through him.
Eunuchs can't have children, so what's the difference between the godson he adopts and the biological sons of ordinary people? They are a family. Eunuch Qian is Eunuch Chen's godson. Isn't it easy to get to know his father through his son?
Suddenly, all the subordinate staff became excited again.
Eunuch Qianxu, your name sounds like a good match. You must seize the opportunity tomorrow to accompany Eunuch Qian well.
"Master Zhang, tell us how you got to know Eunuch Qian." A group of subordinates asked curiously.
"As for this Eunuch Qian, when I went to the capital to clear up relations and visited Mr. Yan Ge's nephew Ouyang Gong, I was fortunate enough to have an encounter with this Eunuch Qian. This Eunuch Qian was from the palace of Concubine Lu Jing.
Young Master Ouyang is in charge of government affairs in Prince Jing's Mansion, and Prince Jing is the flesh and blood of Concubine Lu Jing. Therefore, I am fortunate enough to have an encounter with this Eunuch Qian. What a coincidence, the Holy One took 150,000 taels of silver from Taicang and ordered
Eunuch Chen, the comprador of gold and pearls, is responsible for this matter. The purchase of pearls will naturally come to our coast in the south of the Yangtze River. Eunuch Chen goes to Jiangnan to buy gold and pearls. Naturally, he cannot be the same person. As the saying goes, brothers are brothers in battle, and father and son are in battle.
Bing. This time he brought his two godsons with him to buy pearls. One of them was this Eunuch Qian. This Eunuch Qian was responsible for buying pearls in our Taizhou Prefecture. Unfortunately, he happened to meet the Japanese.
I was trapped in the mountains due to trouble. A few days ago, I was dealing with Japanese pirates. I happened to hear the news that Eunuch Qian was trapped in a nearby mountain, so I boldly went to visit. Unexpectedly, Eunuch Qian still had an impression of me.
, so we got to know each other.”
When Zhang Xiancheng said this, he couldn't help but look proud. He was very proud of his decision to seize the opportunity.
Of course, Zhang Xiancheng did not tell everyone that he dedicated a large pearl passed down from his ancestors to Eunuch Qian.
This is the key to getting to know each other.
Zhang County's Cheng family used to be an ordinary family. I don't know which generation of ancestors got this big pearl by luck, and then transferred it, and the Zhang family became rich. From then on, this pearl became their Zhang family's transfer pearl and became their Zhang family's treasure.
It is a family heirloom that has been passed down by ancestors for generations. This pearl should be used as a family heirloom and be passed down from generation to generation.
However, Zhang Xiancheng doesn't care about the fate of his ancestors. What kind of heirlooms are not as important as real benefits. If I can use this pearl to get to know noble people, then my future career will be much smoother. My career will be smooth.
, then my Zhang family will naturally become more prosperous, and then this pearl will naturally show its value.
Hearing that Eunuch Qian came to Taizhou Prefecture to buy golden pearls, Zhang Xian Cheng did not hesitate to present his family heirloom transfer pearl to Eunuch Qian. This pearl is big, round, and of good quality. It has passed through the generations of the Zhang family.
After being warmed and nourished, the pearl has a faint spiritual energy. When Father-in-law Qian received the pearl, he was overjoyed.
Eunuch Chen, the head of the Royal Horse Supervisor, came to the south of the Yangtze River to buy gold, treasures and pearls. In order to improve efficiency, he sent two godsons to him. In addition to Eunuch Qian, there was also Eunuch Liu. The two were in a competitive relationship and both wanted to manage the differential pressure.
Eunuch Chen was interested in winning the other side. Eunuch Qian was sent to Taizhou Prefecture, and Eunuch Liu was sent to Suzhou Prefecture.
However, Eunuch Qian was unlucky. He encountered a Japanese invasion just a few days after arriving in Taizhou Prefecture, and was trapped in the mountains due to bad luck. Naturally, the errand of buying gold, treasures and pearls was delayed. When he thought of Eunuch Liu, he was so successful.
, Eunuch Qian was very upset and upset. Unexpectedly, he received the ancestral pearl presented by Zhang County Cheng at this time, and this pearl was a rare and top-quality pearl. Eunuch Qian was naturally overjoyed, and by the way, he expressed his gratitude to Zhang County Cheng.
The person who presented the pearl was also very pleased with it.
As a result, Zhang Xiancheng got to know Eunuch Qian.
After collecting Zhang Xian Cheng's ancestral pearls and a lot of property, Eunuch Qian accepted Zhang Xian Cheng's invitation.
