The atmosphere was a little subtle at this moment, and the pavilion in the center of the lake was completely silent.
One by one, the beautiful palace maids stood with their hands down, but they couldn't help but secretly raised their heads and looked at Master Shen curiously with their eyes wide open.
In my mind, I was inexplicably speculating about the relationship between this gentleman and the emperor. This person was so favored by the emperor that the ladies in the palace couldn't help but take a high look.
He really stared at it with shining eyes...
This man is so young and looks like he has a bright future.
Those tough stall owners who were also from Dongchang were all silently thinking in their hearts that they must never offend Master Shen in Dongchang from now on!
At this time, a breeze blew by.
There were ripples on the sparkling lake.
Under the awed gazes of all the guards, Shen Lie bowed and resigned, reluctantly walked out of the Xiyuan, and got on his horse outside the gate.
He was planning to return the same way, but suddenly something happened in his heart, so he changed his route and headed towards the Meridian Gate.
After all, it is a new official taking office.
Shen Lie thought that he should meet his fixed investment boss, but the problem came, he didn't know who his direct boss was.
Think about it over and over again.
Shen Lie had no choice but to go see Feng Bao, the chief eunuch.
You can’t go wrong with this!
morning.
Outside the heavily guarded Meridian Gate.
As soon as Shen Lie approached, he was greeted by a low shout from the gatekeeper: "Stop the visitor!"
Shen Lie quickly dismounted from his horse ten feet away, led the horse over, and then tentatively handed the royal plaque to the gatekeeper.
As soon as I saw the toothpaste.
The expression of the gatekeeper, who was originally very arrogant, immediately changed.
The gatekeeper's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly handed back the dental plaque with both hands. He also saluted Shen Lie and said softly: "Master Shen, do you want to see Mr. Feng? Please wait a moment...Rong Xiaoxuan."
Watching the gatekeeper hurriedly walk into the Meridian Gate and walked quickly towards the direction of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, he did not dare to show any signs of neglect.
Shen Lie carefully put away the dental plaque, then grinned and murmured to himself: "From this point of view, this dental plaque is quite powerful."
Is it so prestigious?
This is nonsense.
Dongchang oversees the execution of hundreds of households, walks in front of the emperor, and plays direct reports before the emperor.
Isn't this awesome?
A true confidant of the emperor!
Not to mention a small gatekeeper at the Meridian Gate, even an official as big as Zhang Jianxiu, the commander of the Imperial Guards, must show courtesy when seeing this tooth plaque!
Think about this.
At this moment, Shen Lie pictured the emperor's chubby smiling face in his mind. He felt a little apologetic and murmured to himself again.
"It seems that he was really wronged...a good man!"
No wonder that for thousands of years in this land, so many people have come and gone, and they would rather be beheaded than become an official.
The feeling of becoming an official is really exciting.
A moment.
Shen Lie even felt that he had grown taller.
Not long after.
The gatekeeper hurriedly walked out of the deep palace, smiled apologetically at Shen Lie and said, "Master Shen, Eunuch Feng has called you in. Please... follow me."
Shen Lie nodded and said with a smile: "Brother, you're welcome. I'm sorry to bother you."
The gatekeeper became more and more respectful: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
So Shen Lie followed the gatekeeper and once again entered the deep palace where no one else could go, and walked along the clean and tidy corridor toward the depths of the Forbidden City.
Half an hour later.
Supervisor of Ceremonies.
As the young eunuch introduced Shen Lie into the quaint hall, he said softly and respectfully: "Eunuch, Shen Lie is here."
I saw Feng Bao, who was sitting at the top and was approving official documents, responded: "Yes."
Following Feng Bao's wave of his hand, the young eunuch bowed and retreated in a wise manner, and closed the palace door from the outside, leaving Shen Lie alone in the palace.
There was a soft creaking sound from the door.
Shen Lie quickly cheered up, stepped forward and saluted, "I'm here to see you, Lord Governor."
Feng Bao put the imperial pen aside, raised his head, looked at Shen Lie's respectful expression, and then looked at the tooth plaque hanging around Shen Lie's waist.
He seemed to be amused by the title of Governor, so he said with great interest: "No."
As Shen Lie showed him a bright and sunny smile, Feng Bao also felt relieved and laughed.
At this moment, the imperial eunuch and the chief eunuch looked at Shen Lie's expression with a kind of kindness, as if he saw that his nephew had a future.
He looks extremely kind.
The two chatted casually for a few words, and the atmosphere became harmonious.
Feng Baobian then said kindly: "You are appointed by the Emperor to be the official responsible for the punishment of hundreds of households. You don't have to come to Dianmao or take errands. You just need to serve His Majesty wholeheartedly."
The implication was that he did not dare to command Shen Lie.
Shen Lie quickly responded: "Yes."
Feng Bao looked calm again and said seriously: "There is only one thing. Don't bully others by taking advantage of your power, abuse the people, and don't trade fish and meat for others."
Shen Lie quickly said again: "Yes."
Feng Bao thought for a while and then said easily: "Go down."
Shen Lie hurriedly bowed again, then bowed and stepped back. Just as he was about to exit the hall, Feng Bao's somewhat feminine voice sounded in his ears again.
"Treat Yun'er well. If you dare to wrong her... we won't be able to forgive you."
Shen Lie was startled and said hurriedly: "Yes."
He quietly retreated outside the hall.
Straightening up outside the hall, Shen Lie couldn't help but look back at the plaque of the Supervisor of Ceremonies hanging in front of the main hall door, and suddenly felt that this eunuch, who had a great reputation in history, was actually not that scary.
Even the imperial eunuch and his manager were very upright.
Who says eunuchs are all bad people?
A history book...
Shen Lie shook his head and left quickly, with a clear understanding in his heart. The eunuch was a human being first, and Emperor Wanli was also a human being.
But everyone has joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
No different from ordinary people.
In the blink of an eye, it was a few days later.
early morning.
The sky had just brightened, and the door of Shen's mansion slowly opened. Shen Lie led the horse out of the mansion alone, and then turned to the maid Yun'er and his adopted sister Yue Xuan'er to give some instructions.
"Take care of the store."
"wait me back."
Now that the business is on the right track and the food ordering business is becoming more and more popular, Shen Lie hurriedly went out of the city to buy some ingredients.
With his back to the morning sun, Shen Lie rode his old horse and walked toward the Willow Street Guards Station under Tian Hong's jurisdiction.
It's not that he can't change the horse, but that Shen Lie has feelings for this old horse.
The old horse knows the way.
When Shen Lie rode his old horse into the guardhouse, he saw the beaming guards in royal robes congratulating Tian Hong around him.
Turn over.
dismount.
Shen Lie smiled easily and said, "What kind of happy event is this? Master Tian has taken a concubine?"
Tian Hong was startled and said hurriedly: "Brother... you don't want to talk nonsense. The aunt in Brother Yu's family is very fierce."
Shen Lie burst out laughing.
The royal guards also let out a burst of good-natured laughter and hurried over to greet Shen Lie.
"I've met Mr. Shen."
One of Tian Hong's confidants, Xiao Qi, couldn't hide his joy and said excitedly: "Master Shen, don't you know yet? Our master... has been promoted to a thousand households!"
