At dusk, the sun sets over the western mountains, and the tired birds return to the woods.
In the west courtyard of Huangzhai near Guangqumen in the outer city, Qiao Heling was squatting in the corner, sweat pouring down his forehead. His mother was beside him with heartache. She wanted to wipe away the sweat but didn't dare, so she sat on the lounge chair next to her and closed her eyes.
Qiao Sanxiu was drinking tea: "Let Heling rest for a while."
"Why rest? What's wrong with punishing him for being naughty and causing trouble for half an hour for seven days at dawn and dusk? It's getting dark. Go and cook quickly. Don't protect him here. You are doting on him for being so naughty. What will happen in the future?
"Become a talented person." Qiao Sanxiu glared at his wife.
His wife sighed lowly and turned around. This time her son had really caused something that she couldn't take sides against. In fact, it was not that he was naughty, but that he had said the wrong thing.
In the east courtyard, under the big banyan tree, Su Chenghuang and his wife were restless, and from time to time they secretly glanced at Chang Yu, who was smiling bitterly and saying nothing: "Sir, I will make you a cup of tea."
As he said this, he winked at Su Guoer. Su Guoer, who had always been close to Chang Yu, also became uneasy: "Brother Chang, Mr. Chang, what kind of tea would you like to drink..."
"That's all, that's all." Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head. From the moment he saw Su Guoer's eyes when he entered the house, he knew that his identity was exposed.
"I don't want to pretend anymore. I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but it seems I can't." Chang Yu smiled bitterly and suddenly remembered such a line. It was so appropriate for the occasion.
Unexpectedly, Su Guoer burst into tears: "Brother Chang, you are really the great eunuch of the East Factory!"
"Guo'er, don't be rude." Su Chenghuang and his wife were shocked and quickly shouted.
Chang Yu gently waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, turned around and sat down: "Yes, I am the Admiral of Dongchang, Chang Yu!"
"Goodbye, little old man..." Su Chenghuang and his wife trembled and were about to kneel down. Chang Yu glanced at Song Luoyu who was next to him and helped them up. However, Su Guoer was still rubbing her eyes and crying.
In the cold winter a few months ago, a family of three lived on the streets performing monkey shows for a living. They were injured by gangsters and had no fixed place to live. Chang Yu came to the rescue at the end of the road and placed them in the Huangzhai Care Home. At first, Chang Yu also had some excuses.
They are so secretive that over time they really become family members.
Su Chenghuang's family was also very grateful to Chang Yu and tried their best to help him keep the house clean. Su Guoer and even the young girl Huaichun had a secret feeling for Chang Yu.
At that time, they only thought that Chang Yu was the nephew of a certain imperial official. They also knew that he often led troops to fight, but they never thought that he would be the eunuch of Dongchang. The main reason was that Chang Yu was too low-key.
Very few people know his name.
But as the wars were won one after another, Chang Yu's reputation could no longer be concealed. The name of the eunuch from Dongchang gradually became known to both the government and the public. Su Guoer paid special attention to military intelligence and military reports because Chang Yu went out to lead troops.
When I heard that the powerful eunuch of Dongchang had the same name as Brother Chang, I was stunned.
Younger than a weakling, invincible in fists and feet, good at planning and fighting...the rumors in the market are exactly the same as Brother Chang.
She collapsed.
Su Guoer couldn't accept that her brother Chang was an eunuch from Dongchang. Although she didn't know the difference between eunuchs and ordinary people, everyone mentioned eunuchs with disdain and said that eunuchs were despicable people. Although she was very
I'm confused, don't eunuchs serve the emperor? How is this different from the servants of wealthy families? Why do the servants seem to look down on eunuchs?
So she told the rumor to her father. Su Chenghuang was shocked and even horrified after hearing it. Su Guoer asked again and again who the eunuch was. Su Chenghuang did not answer directly and only said: "Maybe it's just the same name."
"Yes, maybe it's just the same name. Brother Chang doesn't look like a eunuch serving people. He is a general who leads troops to fight. How can a eunuch be a general?" Su Guoer comforted secretly.
It's a pity that this self-comfort was extinguished by Qiao Heling with a basin of cold water.
Qiao Heling had been in the army for a while, so Su Guo'er tried to trick him into saying whatever the children wanted: "Brother Chang is very powerful in the army. All the generals will listen to him. Daddy is his."
My personal servants all call him Mr. Factory Supervisor..."
Factory Supervisor! Only the admiral of Dongchang can be called Factory Supervisor. There is no mistake now. Su Guoer felt dizzy. The little brother she had a crush on turned out to be the eunuch of Dongchang!
The girl's heart is broken!
"I have never meant to deceive you. No matter I am Brother Chang or the governor of Dongchang, I regard this place as my home, and you are my family." Chang Yu looked at Su Chenghuang with a serious face: "Since we are destined
We are as close as one family, so why worry about where you are born.”
Su Chenghuang suddenly felt ashamed. But, back then, his family of three was in dire straits. If no one had helped him, they would have either starved to death or froze to death on the street. People were so kind to them, so how could he be ignored?
Brother Chang, my whole family is grateful to you and never forget it. Even if you are the admiral of Dongchang, you are still our Brother Chang."
"That's right, no matter who I am, you are all my Uncle Su and Aunt Su." He then looked at Su Guo'er with a wry smile: "Guo'er, what does it matter if I am a eunuch? I am still your Brother Chang."
Ah, I will also protect you."
"That's different," Su Guoer cried loudly: "They all say that eunuchs are not good people, and the eunuchs in Dongchang are especially bad..."
Su Chenghuang was about to rebuke angrily again, but was stopped by Chang Yu: "Why are eunuchs bad if they don't steal or rob? Why are the eunuchs of Dongchang especially bad if they lead troops to kill enemies and defend the country outside, but punish corrupt officials on behalf of the emperor at home?"
Um... Su Guoer was startled and looked up at her father. Su Chenghuang quickly nodded vigorously, "Don't listen to those people outside. Brother Chang is a good person."
"Then...but they said that eunuchs can't marry!" Su Guoer started crying again. Now Su Chenghuang had no choice but to sigh and lower his head in silence. Chang Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Can eunuchs marry?
What does your wife have to do with you? You just mean that the emperor is not in a hurry while the eunuch is. Besides, who said eunuchs can’t have wives..."
Su Guoer was stunned again and stopped crying. Can a eunuch really marry a wife? As he said this, he looked at Su Chenghuang and then at Song Luoyu.
The two of them nodded quickly, but their faces were very embarrassed.
Although eunuchs can marry wives, the powerful eunuchs in the palace do not care about marrying three wives or four concubines.
But is this the same thing as ordinary people marrying a wife? Of course not.
But now I can't explain it clearly to her.
Su Guoer immediately burst into tears and laughed, "Then you are still my Brother Chang. It doesn't matter that Brother Chang is an eunuch. He is also a good eunuch and a powerful eunuch. Now everyone outside says you are a great hero. You are the one who beat me."
Repelled the bandits and Tatars...
Dinner was still under the big banyan tree, and the home-cooked meal had an attractive aroma. Song Luoyu went to Qiao Sanxiu's house next door to have dinner. She knew that the young eunuch wanted to get in touch with the family of three again and had a lot of homely things to talk about. She would stay here more.
There is inconvenience.
Song Luoyu and Qiao Sanxiu are colleagues, and they are the only two people among the personal servants who know Chang Yu's family. His wife also knows that the relationship between the two is not too much, so she carefully prepared some wine and food to entertain the heroine. According to Qiao Sanxiu,
Looking back at Song Luoyu's deeds in the army, I admire him endlessly.
There was a knock on the door outside, and the servant came to report: "Master Qiao, Butler Chun is here."
Qiao Sanxiu and Song Luoyu couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. They naturally knew who Butler Chun was. Chun Xiang's arrival was naturally the result of Fan Yu's arrival. It seemed that something was wrong with the Yamen.
"Wu Sangui has returned to Beijing. After entering the city, he went to the Yamen to wait for his eldest brother. When he didn't wait for a long time, he left in a hurry to enter the palace. He said he would visit again in the evening." Chunxiang whispered in Chang Yu's ear: "And
Xin Lehou is also here."
Chang Yu had a hasty meal, comforted Su Guo'er with a few words, and then went back to the Yamen. Qiao Sanxiu learned about Chang Yu's assassination from Song Luoyu and wanted to accompany him to the Yamen, but Chang Yu refused: "How can I let you go?"
It’s a day off, I’ll have a good rest, I’ll be going on a long trip in a few days.”
