Quan De'an's words were a reassurance to Hu Xiaotian. In fact, this was true. Wei Hualin suddenly disappeared. No new successor was sent to the position of eunuch in charge of the Siyuan Bureau. The emperor sent a message to let Liu Yuzhang stay.
Recuperating in the palace means that Liu Yuzhang continues to be in charge of the Siyuan Bureau. Behind this, there is naturally a fierce game between Quan De'an and Ji Feihua. The final result is undoubtedly that Quan De'an has the upper hand temporarily.
Of course, the people who are most satisfied with this result are Hu Xiaotian and others. Liu Yuzhang is not particularly happy. He is neither a member of Quan De'an nor a member of Ji Feihua. This time, Siyuan Bureau unfortunately became a battle between two parties.
object, but he accidentally fell into the crack.
After experiencing this incident, Liu Yuzhang became more and more lazy. He simply handed over all the things at hand to Hu Xiaotian. After Hu Xiaotian took control of the Siyuan Bureau, he naturally used his own people first to maintain the Royal Forest Garden.
It was handed over to Xiao Dengzi, Xiao Zhuozi was in charge of the medicine warehouse, and Shi Xuedong was in charge of the warehouse and wine cellar.
Hu Xiaotian believed that another reason why Ji Feihua was able to find him quickly was that he probably had an informant in the Siyuan Bureau. He used the power at hand to conduct a large-scale deployment of eunuchs in the Siyuan Bureau and transferred all suspicious characters to accompany him.
Xiao Dengzi protected Linyuan, and all the eunuchs who stayed on duty in the Siyuan Bureau thoroughly checked their backgrounds. Those who had been too close to Wang Desheng in the past were all transferred away from the core of management. The experience of Qingyun County Prime Minister made Hu Xiaotian have a good understanding of official power.
I have a preliminary understanding that although nepotism is not a good thing, it is currently the most feasible and practical way.
Liu Yuzhang let Hu Xiaotian's actions go unchecked. He was getting old when he was old. Although Quan De'an came forward this time and allowed him to continue to sit down in the seat of the eunuch in charge of the Siyuan Bureau, Liu Yuzhang felt tired in his heart. He had indeed reached the time to take care of himself.
It's time to go to the end of the year. From now on, the Siyuan Bureau will be left to Hu Xiaotian and other young people to toss. Although he has deputy young supervisors under him, they are all submissive people, and no one can make decisions at critical moments.
, In comparison, although Hu Xiaotian is young, he has a good view of the overall situation. He handles things resolutely and resolutely, which makes Liu Yuzhang worry a lot. After several incidents, this kid's ability has been proved more and more, and Liu Yuzhang has become more determined to support Hu Xiaotian.
Shi Xuedong saw that Hu Xiaotian was in great power, and he, his sworn brother, was not proud of it. But what made him depressed was that Hu Xiaotian had never taken him out of the palace to be a comprador. Almost every time Hu Xiaotian left the palace, this guy had to be beaten hard.
Once, Hu Xiaotian finally agreed to take him out of the palace, but the condition was that he was not allowed to leave without authorization, let alone contact his parents. Shi Xuedong fully agreed, but Hu Xiaotian still brought two more young eunuchs to guard him along the way, just to be cautious.
Be careful of something fishy happening along the way.
The cooperation between Hu Xiaotian and Feicui Hall Cao Qianshan has become very tacit. During this period, Cao Qianshan had also heard that there would be changes in the Siyuan Bureau. When he was thinking about whether to invite another Bodhisattva to burn incense again, news came that Liu Yuzhang was still in charge of Siyuan.
Bureau, Hu Xiaotian's responsibility as comprador has not changed, and Cao Qianshan is also very happy about this. After all, changing people will require increased investment. Although Hu Xiaotian is smart, he does not seem greedy. He should be a person who wants to do things well.
.
After Hu Xiaotian handed everything over to Cao Qianshan, he really saved a lot of trouble. Every time he went out to make purchases, he only needed to hand over the order to Cao Qianshan. Cao Qianshan would do it properly, and Hu Xiaotian could spend most of his time freely.
Since joining forces with Qiqi to kill Wei Hualin, Hu Xiaotian has become much more cautious in doing things. In recent days, Qiqi may have been worried about others being suspicious and did not come over to continue harassing him. Hu Xiaotian was also cautious every time he entered and left the palace, for fear that someone would follow him.
Quan De'an probably took this into consideration and did not contact him again. Although Wei Hualin's disappearance caused some turmoil, as time went by, the incident was quickly forgotten by everyone, just like Hu Xiaotian's original
As said, there are tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace, but a few of them occasionally won't attract much attention at all.
Everything seemed to be back to its original appearance. This time out of the palace for purchasing, Hu Xiaotian asked Shi Xuedong and two other young eunuchs to go to the market to collect prices and learn about the latest market fluctuations. In fact, this was not necessary. Cao Qianshan was very careful about the dishes and
The price of vegetables is very strictly controlled. Providing food to the palace is like walking on the tip of a knife. If you fail, you may lose your head. Cao Qianshan does not dare to be careless. Trust belongs to trust, and formalities must be followed. More
What's more, if Hu Xiaotian wants more freedom, he has to get rid of these followers. He has a lot of things that he needs to do alone.
For example, when he met Murong Feiyan this time, Hu Xiaotian finished his errands at Jade Hall and came outside. He looked around and saw that a carriage was slowly driving towards him. Hu Xiaotian saw clearly that the driver was Gao Yuan.
Over time, the child seemed to have grown a lot taller. He drove up to Hu Xiaotian. Before he could speak, his mouth was already grinning, revealing two rows of white and neat teeth.
Hu Xiaotian smiled deliberately and said: "Brother, where are you going?"
Gao Yuan said: "Tuojie! Sanxi Restaurant!"
Hu Xiaotian nodded, looked around cautiously, and made sure that no one was following him, then he got on the carriage.
This was not the first time Hu Xiaotian came to Tuojie. The last time he came here with Murong Feiyan was to investigate a case, and he also encountered a dangerous situation here. If Murong Feiyan hadn't sacrificed his life to protect him, it would have been difficult for him to escape the murderer's hands.
, the Tuojie Street in front of him was as chaotic and noisy as in the past, and all the scenes from yesterday seemed to be right in front of him. In a daze, it seemed that he had never left the capital, but he was soberly aware that everything had already changed drastically.
, he is no longer the former son of the Minister of Household Affairs, the envied yamen of the people, but has become a lowly eunuch in the palace.
Gao Yuan drove to Sanxi Restaurant, looked around first, and then opened the curtain and asked Hu Xiaotian to come down. Although this child was young, he was quite vigilant and mature beyond his years.
Hu Xiaotian thought he would go upstairs with him, but Gao Yuan whispered: "The Horse Hall on the third floor!" He wanted to stay and continue to watch to see if any suspicious people passed by here.
Hu Xiaotian walked into Sanxi Restaurant. In the capital, especially in places like Tuojie Street, eunuchs are not uncommon. The imperial court has a Royal Horse Prison, and there are eunuchs in the Royal Horse Prison almost every day in several major markets in the capital.
Although Tuojie Street is a relatively chaotic place, the eunuchs of the Royal Horse Supervisor often come here because they can encounter the dusty relics here by chance. Last year, the Royal Horse Supervisor once picked a batch of sunflowers here.
Thousands of miles of snowflakes.
Therefore, Hu Xiaotian's eunuch costume did not attract much attention. Most of the diners thought that this guy was the eunuch in charge of procurement in the palace.
This is also true, but Hu Xiaotian's purpose is not as simple as purchasing. He went straight to the second floor of Sanxi Restaurant and found the Horse Hall. The door was ajar. Hu Xiaotian gently pushed the door open a crack and saw Murong Feiyan.
He and Zhan Peng were both sitting in it. He smiled slightly, then opened the door and walked in.
In fact, Murong Feiyan and Zhan Peng had already seen Hu Xiaotian's arrival at the window. In order to conceal their presence, they did not go out to greet him. It was not until Hu Xiaotian walked into the room that Zhan Peng stood up. He smiled and said: "Brother Xiaotian, please wait.
Come and be safe!"
Hu Xiaotian stepped forward, held his hands with him, and said with a smile: "It's very good, it couldn't be better!" As he spoke, he did not forget to glance at Murong Feiyan. When Murong Feiyan saw this guy coming in, his heartbeat accelerated for no reason.
When she met his burning gaze, her pretty face turned red involuntarily. She lowered her head in a hurry, fearing that Zhan Peng would notice something strange. Fortunately, Zhan Peng's attention was all focused on Hu Xiaotian and he didn't notice.
Murong Feiyan showed shyness.
After Hu Xiaotian sat down, Murong Feiyan took the initiative to get up and pour the wine, saying softly: "Brother Zhan and I have been waiting here for half an hour."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Some things have happened in the palace recently, so you must be cautious in everything."
Zhan Peng sighed and said, "Xiaotian, it's really hard for you!" He expressed deep sympathy for Hu Xiaotian, thinking that Hu Xiaotian was now a eunuch and suffered such shame and humiliation, but he had to endure the humiliation and live an ignoble life for the sake of his family.
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not really difficult. The situation is much better now. At least I can come out for some air from time to time."
Zhan Peng said: "I recently visited Mr. Hu."
Hu Xiaotian heard him talking about his family and nodded.
"Although the imperial court removed him from his official position, he is still allowed to help in the Ministry of Household Affairs. He and his wife are temporarily living in Shuijing Hutong. Mr. Hu and his wife are both in good health. They are just concerned about your safety."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel sour in his heart when he thought of his parents. He suddenly went from the top of the household department to the bottom. The psychological gap can be imagined. My mother usually wears gold and silver, is elegant and has a lot of servants, but now she has to live in an ordinary life.
In a common family, everything is done by oneself. I wonder if she can adapt to such a life? Hu Xiaotian said: "Has Brother Zhan told them about my current situation?"
Zhan Peng said: "As I said, I said you are very well. There are people in the palace taking care of you, and you have no worries about food and clothing. It's just that you have just entered the palace and it is not convenient to come out. I will go and visit them in a few days."
Hu Xiaotian nodded repeatedly.
Zhan Peng did not tell the whole truth. In fact, when he went to visit Hu Buwei and his wife, Mrs. Hu Xu Fengyi burst into tears, and Hu Buwei, a person like him, was also overwhelmed with grief. Hu Xiaotian was their only son, and now he has entered the palace.
It was equivalent to cutting off the cigarettes of their old Hu family. You can imagine the grief and despair in their hearts. Hu Buwei was very deep in the city. Although he did not reveal his feelings easily, Xu Fengyi said several times that if they could keep their son safe, the two of them would
Even if Kouzi died, he would have no regrets. Poor parents in the world. Zhan Peng felt sad when he thought of the scene at that time. Of course, he couldn't tell Hu Xiaotian these words truthfully, otherwise it would definitely affect Hu Xiaotian's mood greatly.
I just got home and here’s an update! There are only three days left until the end of the month, so you can vote with your monthly votes! (To be continued...)
