All the way south, with the brothers from the Tianwei Camp escorting us, it was quite peaceful.
Passing through the Liaoxi Corridor and passing the magnificent Shanhaiguan Pass, the first pass in the world, the capital city is in sight.
Masters Ao Bai and Ye Bilong were actually waiting for the precious jade (burning small stone) in an unknown town.
These two old guys, one is a military supervisor and the other is an inspector, they have been walking in such a long way and have only come here now.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was demoted, but Masters Aobai and Yebilong valued him more.
Ao Bai patted Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) on the shoulder and said: "It would be good to be an official of Yangzhou's parents, at least a real official."
"Didn't I work as an official before?"
"Is he an official?"
"That's a good question...you stopped me in my tracks."
"Back in the capital, the emperor has prepared a big gift for you...you have to bear it..." Obai smiled strangely.
"What kind of gift have I never seen before? Master Zhongtang, don't smile so evilly... I won't ask you any more, and I guess you won't tell me if I ask you."
Ye Bilong also laughed strangely.
What the hell kind of gift is this?
Then heading southeast back to the capital, there are eight thousand donkeys "protecting" it, which is quite a sight.
When they entered the Miyun Ancient Road in Beijing, Ming Yan and Sao Hong drove eight thousand donkeys and continued southward. Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) entered the capital accompanied by two middle-level masters, Ao Bai and Ye Bilong.
It's so weird, as if he was being escorted into Beijing by two masters of the central hall.
Daiyu was itchy and wanted to use mind-reading skills to "read" the minds of the two masters in the hall, but Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) stopped her.
In "A Dream of Red Mansions", Daiyu died of excessive exertion, while Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) did not want his Meier (Daiyu) to suffer retribution and die young.
Besides, only when each other is kept in the dark, secretly plotting against each other, and each has a trump card that the other does not know, can this be interesting officialdom.
After entering Dongzhimen, Aobai and Ebilong returned to their respective homes.
That damn chrysanthemum-faced eunuch appeared again with a smile on his face, bringing a carriage covered with a thick black cloth, and raised his hand to Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi).
"Congratulations to Lord Jia, congratulations to Lord Jia."
Upon hearing this, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) became angry and said angrily: "Congratulations, I'm a bird feather. Didn't you know that I was demoted seven levels in a row, from a first-grade official to a fourth-grade minor official?"
"Master Xiao Jia has also learned bad things, and has learned so much that he doesn't mean what he says. Weaving in Jiangning, and the magistrate of Yangzhou are known as the two most lucrative jobs in Jiangnan. Those who are not directly related to the emperor cannot be appointed..."
"I have no money!"
"Master Xiao Jia, donkey meat is quite expensive along the way."
"Does Eunuch Liang feel safe spending money that comes from shady sources?"
"Then...why does Mr. Xiao Jia take it?"
"It's different, it's very different. I can make dirty money clean. In a word, it doesn't matter whether you have money or not, but your life." This is considered to be a rogue.
"It's okay if you don't have money. Just bring a few of those hundred-year-old wild ginseng trees. If that doesn't work, give us one of those egg-sized Dongzhu, so you can go back and report to the higher authorities, right?"
"This is even more unavailable. I have been demoted, married and demoted, and my salary...ah, no, that salary is really not enough. I can also ask for Laoshan Ginseng and Dongzhu, for ten million taels of silver!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Xiao Jia again. Congratulations to Mr. Xiao Jia."
“Where does joy come from?”
"As an official, the most important thing is actually to know how to refuse, to refuse many reasonable or unreasonable requests... to refuse many things..."
Hearing this, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was shocked. There was something in his words.
There are so many things you want in life, but how many of them can truly refuse temptation and give up?
Looking back, she saw Daiyu typing out a message in Morse code, "This Eunuch Liang is so strange. Mind-reading skills don't work on him, and he can't see his thoughts." She couldn't help but feel shocked again.
I really underestimated this chrysanthemum-faced Eunuch Liang before.
"However, you must make your contribution. Since there is nothing, Mr. Jia, please get in the car. Your Majesty has invited you." Eunuch Liang changed his face.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) sighed and said: "It's really not easy to get this silver that shouldn't be taken... I regret what I just said. How about paying 30% to the father-in-law?"
"It's a little hot, isn't it? It's too late to regret it now... Mr. Xiao Jia, please!"
Just as Zhuer (Daiyu) was about to follow her into the carriage, she was stopped by Eunuch Liang, "What are you doing with a little servant girl?...Also, don't use some things indiscriminately. It will hurt your body and hurt your body, and you will suffer retribution..."
"
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) and Zhuer (Daiyu) were shocked when they heard this!
This Eunuch Liang is actually sensitive to "mind reading"?
Can he "read minds"?
It seems that you have to be more careful in the future!
Eunuch Liang followed Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) into the carriage, carefully pulled the thick black curtain, and said with a smile: "Master Xiao Jia has many capable people around him... A little maid, her skills are not simple, she can hide herself very well.
…”
"Didn't father-in-law hide it deeper?"
"Hahaha... Mr. Xiao Jia is even more like a dragon that never sees its end... This world is so lively."
"I'm giving you something, just for you, old man." Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) took out two small brocade boxes from his arms, put them in Eunuch Liang's hand, and continued: "Two east beads, one is
The one you brought to the emperor on errands was given to you alone... there were three in total, and I kept one... our carriage was not heading towards the palace, can father-in-law tell me the destination now?"
"No!" Eunuch Liang was holding the two brocade boxes, his hands were shaking, and he was a little excited. Seeing that Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was determined to snatch it back, he quickly said, "The emperor didn't let us say it, but the emperor said that beauty is also a crime.
ah."
"Is beauty a sin?"
"Yes."
"that's it?"
"And that's all."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) thought to himself: "What kind of medicine is this little emperor selling in the gourd? Beauty is also a sin...Does it mean that I have married too many beautiful wives?"
There was no more conversation along the way, everyone had their own thoughts.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) counted a total of eight thousand people and got off. The wheels clicked, and the carriage finally stopped.
After getting off the bus, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was a little dumbfounded. Looking at the huge iron statue of Bifan in front of him, he thought he had arrived at the "Tian Lao".
I am very familiar with the two-foot-tall iron statue of the fern. It was the work of him and his young master, the "Cruel Maniac".
"This... Eunuch Liang, what is going on?"
"Master Xiao Jia, don't you want to see the emperor? Please..." Eunuch Liang pointed at the door of the Tianlao and said.
"Stop joking, will the emperor summon me in the prison?"
"Isn't Mr. Xiao Jia the next governor of Yangzhou? Generally speaking, the incoming governors of Jiangning Weaving and Yangzhou will visit Tianlao."
