Zhu Zhi'e thought very carefully. The letter was wrapped in sheepskin. Otherwise, the personal letter would have been destroyed by sweat after traveling thousands of miles on this hot day. Zhu Youcai took out the letter from his arms and took out the letter with an indescribable smell.
Handing the letter to Chang Yu, the little eunuch couldn't help but feel relieved. He thought Zhu Shenxuan didn't know about this, otherwise it would be too embarrassing: I treat you as a brother, but you sleep with my sister.
"Have you read this letter?" Chang Yu opened it in no hurry and rubbed it in his hand.
"How dare you look at it? Besides, you can't read either!" After chatting with Chang Yu, Zhu Youcai's mood improved and he felt less aggrieved. He rubbed his head and smiled stupidly.
Chang Yu nodded: "It's already too late. You go and rest first. I'll take you around Beijing tomorrow." Then he took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and handed it to him: "Thank you for your hard work along the way."
”.
Zhu Youcai was overjoyed and waved his hands vigorously: "Working for the county boss is not hard work, but working for the factory supervisor is even more of a small honor. If you hadn't guarded Taiyuan back then, we would have been killed by the thieves..."
Chang Yu found that this guy couldn't open his mouth at will, otherwise it would be difficult to stop talking like Li Muxian, so he stuffed the money into his arms and pushed and pulled it to the door: "Have a rest earlier..."
"Actually, I'm not tired. I can still chat with the factory supervisor..." Zhu Youcai was still mumbling outside the door, but he was quickly dragged away by someone.
It was finally quiet. Chang Yu looked at the letter on the table, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His heart was in confusion, not because he was afraid that Zhu Zhi'e would scold him in the letter, but because he didn't know how to deal with the matter.
There is a saying that the so-called love at first sight is actually just lust. Chang Yu's lust for Zhu Zhi'e is just lust. This girl must have status, good looks, and a good personality. She is definitely worth marrying as his wife.
If Chang Yu really got married if he wasn't an eunuch, even if the King of Jin didn't agree with Emperor Chongzhen's edict, he would still have to send it over obediently. But he was just an eunuch.
It's not that eunuchs can't get married, especially a powerful eunuch like him. As long as Chang Yu said he wanted to marry Emperor Chongzhen, he would help him get married. The problem is that the person he wants to marry now is the princess of the Jin Palace!
The Jin Palace would never agree to let a dignified princess marry an eunuch. That would be a great shame!
Emperor Chongzhen would never accept the idea of betrothing a vassal princess to a favored eunuch because it was an insult to the royal family!
Chang Yu is being awesome, but he is still just a eunuch, just a servant of the royal family. If he marries a relative of the emperor, it will be a slap in the emperor's face. What's more, if he really agrees, the Jin Palace can secretly scold him to death! It's not possible to be so humiliated.
Will they rebel?
But if you don't marry, you won't let Zhu Zhi'e down.
Although I had picked up countless girls in my previous life, and never touched a leaf among the thousands of flowers, but those girls were just for fun, and it was not certain who would play with whom. The princess of the Jin Palace was very stupid and naive, and she felt guilty.
ah.
But after all, escaping is not the answer. You still need to muster up the courage to face it. Chang Yu put down the teacup and opened the letter.
Just seven words.
You should give me an explanation.
Chang Yu was prepared to be scolded by Zhu Zhi'e, but there was no scolding or pretentiousness, just these seven words.
Yes, I should give someone an explanation!
Chang Yu sat in the lobby and stayed awake all night. Li Muxian, who was lying under the flower vines outside the courtyard, stared at the lights in the lobby, his expression changing. He also had insomnia that night.
Mornings in Dongchang Yamen are usually very quiet, but today it is especially quiet because many people stayed out all night from the celebration party last night. Chang Yu stayed up all night and washed his face. He asked Fang San to get some breakfast and saw Li Muchian under the flower stand.
: "You came early in the morning to absorb the essence of heaven and earth?"
Li Muxian stood up and saluted with a smile: "I am keeping vigil for the factory owner and slaying demons."
"I'm afraid you may have inner demons yourself." Chang Yu did some stretching exercises and waved to Li Muchian: "Come here, let me help you eliminate your inner demons." He was depressed and wanted to have a fight to vent his emotions.
Coincidentally, Li Muxian was also a little depressed. He smiled, took off his coat and removed all the messy things on his body: "Forget it, let the factory owner weigh the poor man's weight and see if it is worse than that of Wuzhong." After saying this, he went to Chang Chang
Yu rushed over, and in a blink of an eye the two were fighting with fists and kicks, which attracted fans in the yard to come and watch.
This was different from the usual sparring. Both of them were serious about it. Chang Yu was a master of fighting and Li Muxian was a master of martial arts. They each came up with their best tricks. After thirty moves, both of them failed. Chang Yu's mouth was bleeding, but Li Muxian was
He was knocked down three times, and his face was ashen and even murderous. This shocked the onlookers, who seemed to have lost their temper.
"Mr. Factory Master, Mr. Gao, please see me." At this moment, Fanzi reported urgently, and Chang Yu and Li Muxian stopped: "You are usually very secretive. I thought you were good at throwing knives and making light bodies.
I never thought that my fists and kicks could be so powerful."
"How does it compare to Wuzhong?" Li Muxian was very proud.
"You will be defeated within twenty moves with your bare hands, but you can't survive ten moves with a knife!" Chang Yu said lightly. Li Muxian was suffocated and unconvinced: "Even poor Taoists can play with swords. It's hard to say who will fight to the death."
.
Chang Yu glanced at the flying knives under the flower stand and shook his head slightly: "If you risk your life, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to use the sword, but if you use a hidden trick, you may be able to make a difference."
"If it's a matter of killing people and fighting for their lives, who cares whether it's overt or covert?" Li Muxian said with a proud look on his face: "I have been traveling in the world for more than ten years and have been in life-threatening situations dozens of times. I can still survive because of my ability to kill people to protect myself."
.
Chang Yu agreed with this point, but still poured cold water on him: "Your kung fu is considered to be top-notch, but you can't beat a master like Wuzhong in an open fight. In a secret fight, it's more than enough for the Song brothers and sisters to beat you, so don't compete in this aspect."
"You're good or bad, just be your Taoist priest. It's more promising to pretend to be gods and ghosts." He said to Fanzi: "Ask Gao Jie and the others to come in."
"I heard the magpies chirping early in the morning. It turns out that distinguished guests are coming to the door." Chang Yu looked at Gao Jie and the three of them in the lobby and laughed, saying "honored guests", but everyone could hear the tone of his displeasure.
I mean, I came here so early in the morning, don't you bother me?
Seeing the bruises on the corners of the little eunuch's mouth, Gao Jie and the other three didn't know what happened but didn't care much. They only thought about their own future: "I'm bothering the factory master, but now... The reason for the rebellion of the factory master Li Chengdong can be found out."
Are you clear? We have suffered unjust injustice and the emperor has closed the door behind us, but our hearts are really on fire and we can’t sit still..."
"This matter has become a mystery. Dongchang is investigating. Please stay calm and wait for the news. It's so comfortable there where you can eat, drink and play." Chang Yu pretended to sigh, but Gao Jie heard this.
The three of them suddenly panicked, this meant they were about to be placed under house arrest.
It's no wonder that the three of them were panicked. If they were outside the city, they would have to break camp and leave immediately. There are soldiers, money, and food in the world. If you push me, I will rebel. But now, there are people from Dongchang everywhere in the city.
If you follow me, you won't be able to escape even if you want to... Could it be that the imperial court is going to take action against you?
"Mr. Factory Master, please show your respect for this matter!" Liu Liangzuo spoke eloquently. Chang Yu's face immediately darkened. Just as he was about to rebuke, Liu Liangzuo had already reacted and quickly apologized: "I made a mistake in my humble words. Please forgive me for this."
If you, the factory official, have used your good offices to mediate, we will have a heavy reward of our own."
"Okay, I'm going to help others to send the Buddha to the west. Just go to the palace." Chang Yu sighed, patted the table, looked at the three of them and said: "I'm not doing any heavy retribution for you, all of you are here."
It’s because of the friendship we had when we fought side by side to suppress bandits.”
"That's it, that's it. Mr. Factory Lord attaches great importance to affection and righteousness, and we are grateful." The three of them stood up and thanked them. Chang Yu talked to the three of them again and sent them off, and then hurriedly entered the palace to see Emperor Chongzhen.
