After the morning session the next day, Zhen Zifeng was invited outside the imperial study room.
As someone who has been involved many times, he also has experience. It is nothing more than enduring a meal of anger. The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all the king's favor, so he should regard it as a gift.
Naturally, he didn't expect that it was because of Mr. Xu. After all, it was not the first time that he said Mr. Xu, and what he said was true. He did not say it behind Mr. Xu's back, and he was aboveboard.
Yu Wenhao did not send him in immediately, but asked him to stand outside and discuss matters with the cabinet officials inside.
Today, many officials came to the Emperor's Court. Everyone who came in and out saw him standing outside waiting.
He was in a good mood at first, but half an hour passed and the emperor hadn't called him in yet, so he became a little uneasy. In addition, it was early morning, he was sleepy and hungry, and he felt dizzy even while standing.
Unexpectedly, Eunuch Mu Ru was waiting inside again, and Master Xu was the only one standing guard at the second door holding his sword. Since there had been a disagreement a few days ago, he couldn't ask.
An hour passed, and the person waiting in front of the emperor kept pouring tea into the room. Only he didn't have a drop of water in his throat, and his throat was almost smoking.
Unable to resist, he moved over and asked Xu Yi, "Master Xu, I wonder if the emperor summoned me for my brother's sake?"
Xu Yi didn't know yet that the emperor wanted to help him vent his anger, but he always cared about what he said a few days ago, so he said calmly: "I don't know, the emperor never said it."
Zhen Zifeng clasped his fists and said, "How about Mr. Xu go in and see what's going on?
Or ask the emperor when he will summon me?"
Xu Yiyi said: "The emperor is discussing something, how can I get in?"
"Just asking, I'm really thirsty, sleepy and hungry, and there are too many things going on at the Yamen, so it's not good to spend time here all the time."
Xu Yi saw that his voice was a little dry and hoarse. He felt that it was really hard to go to court this early in the morning, so he said, "I'll ask someone to give Master Zhen a glass of water."
He didn't dare to make the decision in the royal study, but if he was outside, it wouldn't be a problem to give him saliva.
Zhen Zifeng took the water, drank it all quickly, and then said to Xu Yi with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Xu."
Xu Yi smiled and said, "It takes a little effort."
Zhen Zifeng also smiled, "Master Xu is kind-hearted."
Eunuch Mu Ru happened to come out and saw Xu Yi entering the side hall to pour water for Zhen Zifeng. He heard their conversation and saw their expressions.
The two people who had argued before seemed to have reconciled now, and everyone was laughing. This is a good ending, as it should be.
But Eunuch Mu Ru didn't think so. He was even very angry. Master Xu was the one who should be taught a lesson in this matter.
It can be seen that Mr. Xu's smile is rather stiff, which shows that he has a grudge in his heart, but he still showed kindness to this person.
On the contrary, the scolding Donnie Yen acted as if nothing had happened, which showed that he did not take his verbal insults to Mr. Xu to heart at all.
It is both funny and absurd to reconcile someone who has caused harm to others but does not take it to heart at all and continues to accept the other person's kindness.
Eunuch Mu Ru couldn't stand it anymore, but Zhen Zifeng had the emperor to take care of him, and he needed to take care of Mr. Xu.
He walked over to Xu Yi and said, "Mr. Xu, our family has a favor that we would like you to help with. Please come."
He made a sound, naturally he was very happy to help Eunuch Mu Ru, so he called the imperial army to guard him, and he followed Eunuch Mu Ru into the side hall.
After Eunuch Mu Ru asked him to sit down, he said, "Master Xu, how much money have you saved now?"
Xu Yi was startled, "What's wrong?
Is Mr. Mu Ru short of money?"
"Yes, I need money urgently. I wonder if Mr. Xu can lend me thirty or forty thousand taels?"
Xu Yi's eyes widened as never before, "Three to forty thousand taels?
Oh my God, Eunuch Mu Ru, what do you want so much money for?"
"It's urgent. It's really urgent. Please help Mr. Xu."
Eunuch Mu Ru said.
Xu Yi was shocked, "But I don't have tens of thousands taels. All my money is with Ah Si, who is in charge of the business."
"Then please ask Mr. Xu to go back and ask, give me an answer as soon as possible and see how much you can lend me."
Xu Yi couldn't help but ask: "Why does Eunuch Mu Ru need so much money?
You don't have to worry about food and drink, so you should have saved a lot over the years, right?"
"Our family has taken a fancy to a house and needs one hundred thousand taels."
"One hundred thousand taels?
How big of a house is that?"
“It’s not big, but the location is good, right next to the Guixun area.”
“What are you doing buying those places?
For the same price, if you go to Qinping District, you can buy a really big house, and you live in the palace, why do you want to buy a house?"
Eunuch Mu Ru immediately shook his face and said displeasedly: "Master Xu just asked whether to borrow it or not. Why do you ask so many questions?
You and I have served the emperor together for so many years, and we always have feelings for each other, but if Lord Xu doesn't want to borrow it, there is no need to say so much."
Xu Yi was in trouble for a long time, frowned and said: "Don't worry, I just want to ask, I really can't get so much money, I can only find a way for you to get as much money as you can."
"Thank you, Mr. Xu. Our family is really in a hurry. Please help us find a way. We will pay you back as soon as possible."
