Chapter 43 People have nowhere to go in Huashan

"A young man entered the palace and studied in the study. Fortunately, he went to the Twelve Prison to do a writing errand. If he did a good job, he would be a good person and would gradually increase his seniority... If he accumulated virtue in his previous life, he was attracted by the ancestors of the Sili Prison and went to the Eastern Palace to study with him. This would be considered a step forward to reaching the sky."

When Zou Yi said this, his attitude had changed. When he first came to deliver the booklet, he was polite, but he was a kind of reserved and politeness. At this time, he was very relaxed and contented, as if he was telling his friends about the past.

"Think about it, when you grow up with the emperor, the friendship between the monarch and ministers must be deep. When the prince ascended the throne, he naturally had to use his caring person. This Eastern Palace companion would probably be the eunuch in charge of the seal and the eunuch in charge of the inner court, and Brother Wang. If you say so, should our Eunuch Zhang be the eunuch in charge of the seal and the eunuch in charge of the seal and the eunuch in charge of the inner court?"

The eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor was the first eunuch in the inner court. He approved the imperial examination on behalf of the emperor and had a weight of a mountain. Most of the time, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor was higher than the cabinet assistant. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was the second person in the world after the emperor.

However, although Wang Tong was ignorant of the current affairs and the court, he also knew that the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor was Feng Bao, and the admiral of the East Factory...

"Eunuch Zhang cannot be the chief supervisor of the seal. According to his annual qualifications and status, he should be qualified as the General Manager of the East Factory, but this is also taken over by Eunuch Feng. If you are Eunuch Zhang, will you feel miserable?"

Zou Yi asked relaxedly. Wang Tong nodded with a wry smile, but did not dare to respond, but he vaguely guessed Zhang Cheng's expression in the afternoon and the reason for helping in the evening. Zou Yi continued:

"Eunuch Feng was in the Jiajing Dynasty and served as a servant in the Sili Superintendent. Now, the empress dowager trusts and the emperor respects him. Grandmaster Zhang of the cabinet is also a boss of the Jiajing Dynasty and a confidant of the late emperor. As the teacher of today, the emperor must be respectful. There are such big men in the court that both emperors must be afraid of, so what else is our Eunuch Zhang?"

The sound of bells and drums on the imperial city reached the house, and Wang Tong's body trembled. As expected, the high places were cold. It was easy to fall to death if he fell, and it seemed that he could no longer turn back.

"However, Eunuch Feng and Zhang Ge are older, the emperor is still young and have a long time. Whoever gets close to the emperor more often will have more benefits in the future... Eunuch Zhang is with the emperor every day, but after all, he is alone, and he is not as qualified as two people. Things in the world are unpredictable. No one expected that the emperor would meet you, Brother Wang, and the empress dowager would appreciate it."

Speaking of this, Zou Yi stopped and looked at Wang Tong with a smile. Wang Tong was stunned for a moment before he realized, breathed out, feeling that the room was extremely cold.

But look at the charcoal fire in the brazier in front of you. It’s not cold but heartbreaking at this time. Wang Tong only wants one thing:

"If you want to live a wonderful life, how can there be no wealth and honor in this world that is given for free? What's the point of taking a try?"

With a clear mind, Wang Tong said calmly:

"Brother Zou please continue speaking, I'm listening!"

"Brother Wang's kindness is really not like a fourteen-year-old man. Eunuch Zhang is serving the emperor in the palace. Brother Wang has this great opportunity to get close to the emperor outside the palace, work together inside and outside to serve the emperor. Brother Wang, are you willing?"

Zou Yi asked with a smile. Wang Tong paused for a moment, then smiled and clasped his fists and said:

"Why don't you want to? Brother Zou, I thank you for your kindness and good deeds. My father-in-law's kindness is remembered in my heart and will never forget it forever, and there will be rewards."

After saying such a big thing, although Wang Tong was surprised and nervous, his overall performance was still calm and calm, and he agreed to it.

Zou Yi nodded and stood up with a smile, reached out to brush his cotton robe, and said relaxedly:

"Eunuch Zhang understands Brother Wang's feelings. It's still a long time. Let's take your time. It's not too late, and I'm going to rest as well, brother."

He reached out and stuffed the food stall on the table back into his pocket, but took out a thick booklet with a blue leather cover without a word, put it on the table and said:

"Eunuch Zhang copied a copy of the trusted person, and Brother Wang kept this copy for reference."

Wang Tong took a deep breath. If he had hesitated and refused just now, the copied copy would probably not have been taken out of his pocket. Zou Yi walked towards the wing room, walked a few steps but turned around and said:

"Since you and my brothers are in harmony, I always have to give you a word. This diet and cooking is a trivial path after all. Could it be that Brother Wang's future future is to be a general manager in Shangshen room?"

Wang Tong smiled and didn't answer the conversation. He sat there and flipped through the booklet. He couldn't go to bed early that night. He had to pay attention to the busyness of the kitchen.

It was already the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year was about to be celebrated in five days. The festive atmosphere on the streets was already very strong. The shopkeepers were a little unconscious when they were busy, but they were immediately scolded by Widow Ma and Zhang Shiqiang.

Everyone was tired and happy. The boss said that the holiday would start in the afternoon of the 30th and came back again on the seventh day of the lunar month. Besides, everyone earned at least 500 cigars and 20 kilograms of meat. The whole family would be happy this year.

There were fewer eunuchs of grade than yesterday, and it seemed that they had returned to normal passenger flow. The eunuchs and the Imperial Guards' Military Academy looked tired on their faces. Some people asked if they could be packed and taken back to the palace for food, or to send them to their companions who were still preparing for the New Year in the palace.

When Wang Tong opened the business, he really prepared a batch of lunch boxes made of thin wooden boards. This time he was just in use, but the lunch boxes would be returned to reuse the next day.

After Zou Yi came to the first guest at the delicacy restaurant, he changed into a low-quality eunuch's robe and went back to the imperial city to report. Wang Tong was much more convinced during the conversation last night.

As usual, he still sat in the corner, and his morning work was relatively leisurely, just for doing some private things.

A big man stood opposite Wang Tong, with a bearded face and a figure that was about half a head taller than Zhang Shiqiang. His hands and feet were thick and he was quite strong.

This man was wearing a sheepskin coat and a short brown collar inside. The people in the capital were very familiar with him. They were usually shepherds who put horses and livestock for wealthy families outside the city.

"Brother Ma, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, we are all our own family, why are we doing so politely!"

Wang Tong felt quite awkward and said repeatedly that the man in front of him was Ma Sanbiao, the son of Widow Ma. It is said that he had arrived yesterday, but there were too many things in the store and he didn't have time to come forward to greet him.

After hearing Wang Tong's words, Ma Sanbiao grinned and was about to sit down. Before his butt was close to the bench, Widow Ma's stern scolding came from behind:

"Three Biao, don't be big or small in front of the boss!!"

Ma Sanbiao has a bad temper, but is a filial son. When he heard this, he stood there with a bitter face. Wang Tong remembered that he had been teased by Ma Sanbiao several years ago. Today, the other party's respect is really unaccustomed to it.

He had to clear his throat and asked without saying anything:

"Brother Ma, I heard from Aunt Ma that you were beaten by someone who hired you outside the city, but what's the point?"

"It's okay, I was whipped three or four times, but the bastard who whipped me couldn't get up after half a month."
