Eunuch Wei followed the soldiers to the door of a small hall. The woman in the hall clasped her fists at him and said, "Eunuch Wei, please come in."
Eunuch Wei coughed twice, took out King Yan's manuscript from his arms, held it up high, walked up to the woman with his head held high, and said, "May I ask if this lady is Lin, the wife of General Jarvis, the commander of the Second Army of the Yan Kingdom in North America?"
The woman smiled and said: "I haven't heard the name 'Lin' for a long time. Yes, I am Lin Daiyu."
Wei Gonggong said: "Lin accepted the order."
Lin Daiyu raised her eyebrows: "If it's a letter from King Yan, just give it to me. We don't pay attention to those old etiquette here."
Eunuch Wei shouted again: "The King of Yan handed down the order, and the Lin family accepted it."
Lin Daiyu said: "When you go to the countryside, do as the Romans do. The ceremony of kneeling and worshiping has been canceled here."
Eunuch Wei said angrily: "Ms. Lin, you must kneel down to receive the order."
Lin Daiyu smiled instead and said leisurely: "I haven't knelt for many years, and my knees can't bend, so what should I do?"
Eunuch Wei shouted: "Bold!"
Lin Daiyu turned around and told the soldiers who were leading the way: "We have something urgent to discuss and take this father-in-law to the guest house to rest." She glanced at Eunuch Wei again and said, "When will your father-in-law be willing to hand over the letter to me, and I have some free time, let's talk about it later.
." Eunuch Wei was stunned.
The soldier stepped forward and said: "Eunuch Wei, our military advisor has to discuss matters with the generals. If you have nothing important to do, please come with me to rest first."
Eunuch Wei was anxious: "The Za family has the prince's handwriting, why is it not an important matter?"
The soldier said: "You keep holding it in your hand and never take it out! Our military advisor is very busy and has no time to argue with you."
A man in military uniform said: "Take him out quickly, we have a meeting."
The soldier agreed and stretched out his arm to make a "please" gesture to Eunuch Wei: "Eunuch, please."
Eunuch Wei became more and more anxious: "How can Master Lin's daughter not know etiquette?" Lin Daiyu patted the table.
The soldier said again: "My father-in-law, please."
Eunuch Wei shouted: "Do you want to rebel?"
The soldier seemed to have never heard him: "My father-in-law, please."
Eunuch Wei turned around and left in anger. The soldiers followed him first, and then quickly stepped forward to lead the way out of the small hall. It was only then that Eunuch Wei realized that Mr. Lin really did not pay attention to his and the prince's handwriting.
He stumbled and turned around to go back. Two soldiers at the door immediately blocked the way. Eunuch Wei glanced in and saw Lin and the men in military uniforms gathered around to look at the map again. It was obvious that they were not prepared to pay attention to him, so he shouted loudly at the door.
Said: "It is passed down that the King of Yan ordered the wife of General Jarvis, Mrs. Lin, to return to Beijing with her son -"
Lin Daiyu turned her head in shock: "What?! Go back to Beijing?"
A man said: "But it's nonsense, isn't it? How can we be without a military advisor here now?"
Lin Daiyu said casually: "Nothing. I will be outside, and I will not accept your orders."
Eunuch Wei shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty, with your grace, please order the eldest son of General Jarvis to read to the little grandson. Mr. Lin, why don't you hurry up and thank me -"
Before she finished speaking, Lin Daiyu smacked the table with a bang, and her face suddenly darkened. Several generals advised: "Advisor, please calm down."
Lin Daiyu said coldly: "I kidnapped an older child and took him to a strange and cold place. I couldn't help but pay for food and clothing. I had to bow and kowtow to others all the time. I couldn't see my parents all year round. How dare I call it a favor?"
"
Eunuch Wei knew that she was not happy and said loudly: "How can you be happy about the grace of the Heavenly Family?"
Lin Daiyu said to the soldier: "Bring the letter."
Before Eunuch Wei had time to stuff the oracle into his arms, the soldier snatched it away with lightning speed and stepped forward to hand it to Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu opened it and took a look at it, then turned around and walked to the fireplace and threw it in with her hand.
Eunuch Wei shouted: "Bold!"
Lin Daiyu straightened her waist and stood by the fireplace, watching the oracle gradually turn into ashes, and said, "Aren't these three father-in-laws here?"
The soldier said: "Yes."
"Arrange job training for them. They will have to be self-reliant from now on." She smiled and said, "Eunuch Wei, I'm sorry. I'm so busy right now that I can't care about the chaos in Beijing. If you want to go back to Beijing, you have to wait for me.
Finish the things at hand."
Eunuch Wei gritted his teeth: "You want to resist the decree!"
"No one can touch my son." Lin Daiyu glanced at him indifferently. Eunuch Wei felt that his legs were weak and he almost fell down. Lin Daiyu waved her hand, and the soldiers asked Eunuch Wei to leave.
Eunuch Wei did not give up and shouted: "This is the prince's world!"
Lin Daiyu's lips curled up: "Do they really want me to go back to Beijing?" Eunuch Wei's throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't say "yes" for a long time. Lin Daiyu thought for a moment and then said, "If I go back in the past two years,
It was a little early." Eunuch Wei breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. She added, "But... it's not impossible."
As the soldiers left the big stone house, cold sweat broke out on Eunuch Wei's back. The three eunuchs got on the carriage again, and the soldiers led them to another stone house three streets away. Eunuch Wei got off the car and looked at the door.
A sign was hung, which read: Boston Vocational Training Office. Eunuch Wei stood blankly, and the soldiers did not urge him. After a long while, Eunuch Wei said: "This Lin family... and General Jia, have rebelled?"
The soldier said: "Eunuch, please invite me." Eunuch Wei had no choice but to move in slowly.
This place was more lively than Lin's place just now, with people coming and going. The soldiers led the eunuchs upstairs, walked outside a room and knocked on the door. A female voice inside said: "Please come in."
The soldier went in and shouted: "Sister-in-law Zijuan."
Zijuan had three or four books spread out on her desk. She looked up at him and said with a smile, "It's you. What kind of person was brought here by you personally?"
"Those father-in-laws from Beijing," said the soldier, "the military advisor is not going to send them back for the time being. I want them to be sent to my sister-in-law."
Zijuan turned to look at the eunuchs and asked, "What's going on?" The soldier then told King Yan's order. Zijuan frowned for a while and said, "I understand. You go back, I will make arrangements."
them."
The soldier turned around and led the eunuchs to Zijuan and introduced: "This is Comrade Wang Zijuan, director of the Vocational Training Office. She will be responsible for your follow-up arrangements." Then he gave a military salute to Zijuan and left.
Zijuan stood up with a smile and invited the three father-in-laws to sit down, then stood up to make tea. Eunuch Wei watched her pour tea into the cup and asked again: "Jarvis has rebelled."
Zijuan kept her hands on her hands and said: "Originally, I didn't rebel. Today, King Yan has offended our young master, so he is definitely going to rebel."
Eunuch Wei felt as if he had been punched in the face, and after a long time he said: "Your Majesty ordered Mr. Jia to accompany the prince and grandson. This is to show great respect to General Jia, so that his son can make friends with the prince and grandson since they were young. They will develop a friendship, and the prince and grandson will succeed to the throne in the future."
He must not be reused. Why does Mrs. Lin want to rebel against this great grace?"
Zicuckoo said: "How lively and comfortable is our young master living in North America? How can we live a single life in the prince's palace? It's not like we have to look up to the prince and grandson and listen to him in everything."
Wei Gonggong said: "Wang Sun will become the leader of the Yan Kingdom in the future, so he will naturally be a high-ranking official and receive a generous salary."
Zicuckoo had already brewed the tea, placed it in front of the three eunuchs and said, "Our generals and military advisors have rebelled. I can provide my high-ranking officials with generous salaries myself, and I don't need anyone else to do so."
Eunuch Wei sneered: "You don't even have common people here, so what are you using to rebel?"
Zijuan said: "This won't bother my father-in-law to worry about."
Eunuch Wei said leisurely: "You have forgotten General Gan Lei in the west."
Zijuan smiled calmly: "Just give him the west." Eunuch Wei was speechless. Zijuan continued, "There are forty or fifty Yan countries in North America. Whether it's Gan Lei or Wei Ruolan, Zhenguofu Niu
Regardless of whether you are a brother or a brother, you can conquer a kingdom at will."
Eunuch Wei shouted: "The men, horses, weapons and equipment all belong to the prince!"
"Then go to the country to recruit some bandits. The water-melting Zhou Xiaolan uses bandits and pirates." Zijuan has sat down opposite them, "Okay. Now the military advisor is obviously not ready to let you go back..."
Eunuch Wei stood up and slapped the case hard: "If the Za family doesn't go back, the prince will definitely pursue him!"
Zijuan thought for a while: "Then... how about you were robbed and killed by bandits on the way from New York to Boston?" Eunuch Wei was stunned, and the two little eunuchs were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Zijuan looked at that
The two children shook their heads, "Such a small child... If the prince's palace doesn't waste any more children, they should have killed those princes two years ago. Whose children are not darlings?" Nai sat upright and cleared his throat, "
I am here to provide vocational training. I just want to teach you some crafts - no matter whether you are farming or working, you must have a craft to support yourself, right?"
Eunuch Wei was still standing: "The Za family is going back."
"How are you going back? Boston Harbor is a military port, and you can't even buy a ticket." Zicuckoo advised, "Just make peace with yourself once you've come. Besides, having another skill is not a bad thing."
Eunuch Wei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and ran out. Zicuckoo didn't care and said softly to the two young eunuchs: "How old are you?"
A young eunuch said after a while: "I am thirteen and he is fourteen."
Zijuan said: "Too young, I will arrange for you to go to school first."
Another young eunuch asked: "Then...Eunuch Wei..."
"No problem." Zijuan glanced out the window. The young eunuch looked at each other a few times. Zijuan then asked him in detail about their names, place of origin, etc., and then continued the arrangements.
Eunuch Wei ran down the stairs and walked around for a long time before he found the door. Although there were people coming and going, he didn't dare to ask, but fortunately no one asked him. After going out, he looked back a few times and saw no one following him, so he ran up.
Main Street. The snow on the street must have been swept by someone, but it was not swept away. Eunuch Wei stepped on the remaining snow before running a few steps and fell. He got up and ran again, but fell again. He got up again and looked back.
Still no one was chasing him. Eunuch Wei felt a little relieved, so he pretended to be nothing and walked along the road. After passing the street, he turned around and hid at the corner and poked his head out, but no one was chasing him. Eunuch Wei was worried.
Surprised: It was obvious that Mrs. Lin didn't want to let him go, so why didn't she send someone to catch him? So he boldly moved forward.
Unconsciously, he came to a desolate place. There was only a dirt road under his feet. The snow on the road was not cleared. The roadside was all wasteland. There were no crops or houses, let alone any living people. Suddenly a shadow flashed in the distance. Look.
It looked like a living creature, but not a human being. Eunuch Wei took a breath - it was really cold. It is said that encountering a jackal, tiger, leopard, even a few wild dogs would not be easy to deal with in this deserted place.
He took out the dagger from his boots and looked around in panic.
After a while, the shadow in front of him flashed out from behind a big tree that he didn't recognize. It was a wild dog, his eyes were red and faint. Eunuch Wei shuddered and raised his dagger. The wild dog slowly moved toward
Eunuch Wei came over, and Eunuch Wei slowly backed away. After taking more than a dozen steps, something suddenly blocked him behind him. Eunuch Wei glanced out of the corner of his eye, and it turned out to be a wild tree.
Eunuch Wei was overjoyed: Dogs can't climb trees, but he can. Before joining King Yan, he had served the little prince, and he often climbed trees on the wall for his master to catch birds and scare cats. Then he stuffed the dagger into his sleeve and turned around to climb the tree.
Soon enough, the wild dog rushed over like an arrow from the string. Eunuch Wei tried his best to run up, but the wild dog jumped up and bit his trouser leg. It was cold here, and Eunuch Wei was wearing the chinchilla skin pants given by King Yan.
, hugging the tree trunk and kicking hard. There was a "tearing" sound, and the trouser legs were torn. Eunuch Wei hurriedly climbed up the tree. The dog did not give up and sat under the tree barking. Eunuch Wei shouted: "Is there anyone there?"
Is there anyone?" There was silence. Eunuch Wei suddenly understood why the man named Wang Zijuan didn't send people to arrest him.
Fortunately, this wild dog was not a stubborn dog. After spending half an hour under the tree, when he saw that the prey had no intention of getting down from the tree, he swung his tail in annoyance and left. Eunuch Wei was afraid that it would hide in the dark.
Not daring to move. After another half an hour, but no wild dog came back, I slowly climbed down the tree.
Eunuch Wei was already hungry, his chest pressed against his back, and he was frightened, so he returned along the way he came. Finally, he reached a house and knocked on the door to get some money in exchange for some food.
After three or four pats, the door opened by itself - it turned out to be unlocked. Eunuch Wei went in and took a look. The room was covered with dust, and everything was rolled on the floor. It also smelled of wild animal excrement. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.
He had no choice but to endure hunger before walking. After a while, there were more and more houses around, but there were still no people. Only then did Eunuch Wei remember that there were no common people here, so there must be no way to buy food, and they were all stored in the army.
But he smiled bitterly: If he doesn't go back to Wang Zijuan, he will starve to death.
He no longer knew the road. After walking for a long time, he met several soldiers riding past. Wei Eunuch hurriedly called to them and asked about the "vocational training office." The leading soldier jumped off his horse and showed him how to go, then got on his horse and rode away.
Go. When Eunuch Wei walked to the door of the stone house, his legs were no longer his own.
Looking for someone to find out Wang Zijuan's whereabouts, she slowly climbed up the stairs and found the door through which she escaped. When Zijuan saw him coming back, she was surprised and said, "You're back so soon? I thought you had to stay in the wild for one night to figure it out."
" Then he got up and went to pour tea for him.
Eunuch Wei smiled bitterly and said: "I never thought it would be so desolate... How can a place like this compare to the capital? Why doesn't Lin want to leave?"
Zijuan came over with tea and said: "I am originally a son of a family in Rongguo Mansion. The old lady gave me to our girl, and then followed her to the Lin family."
"Are you from Rongguo Mansion?" Eunuch Wei was shocked.
Zijuan nodded: "I have watched my mother kowtow and kneel to my masters since I was a child. I and other maids and boys did the same, so I got used to it. Until I followed the girl all the way from the capital to Taiwan and then to North America..." She
He chuckled and said, "Although there are distinctions between superiors and subordinates here, the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping has been abolished. If you stand too much, you will not want to kneel down anymore." He put the hot tea in front of Eunuch Wei and said, "Eunuch, please stay a little longer.
After a while, I thought it would be the same as me. Kneeling is really uncomfortable."
