Hao Liande waited for a while and saw that Zhu Xiluo did not come back, so he simply stopped waiting. After all, as half a man, he could understand Zhu Xiluo's mood, so he told the maid next to him to go back to the inner treasury and find a century-old tree.

Ginseng, after leaving the imperial city, got into his car parked at the gate of the city and drove towards the Duke's Mansion of Duke Shoui of the Kingdom of Min.

Wang Shouyi's hometown is in the coastal area, but Zhu Xiluo considered that the wind on the coast was strong and Wang Shouyi was old, so he simply refused to let him go home and asked him to stay in Yingtian Mansion.

Of course, this is an official statement. The main reason is that Zhu Xiluo is worried about Wang Shouyi. After all, Wang Shouyi earns a living at sea, with boats and people, and he is also smart. What worries Zhu Xiluo even more is that Wang Shouyi's reputation among the people is

Very good, unlike the other three Dukes who all have some shortcomings. The British Duke Zhang Donkey kills, the Qian Duke Qian Song is greedy for money, and the Ding Duke Song Qian has no descendants and will not fight for anything. For those who rely on rebellion

Zhu Xiluo, who had conquered the country, was still very wary of Wang Shouyi, but Zhu Xiluo was not as cruel as his ancestors, killing all the heroes on trumped-up charges.

However, Wang Shouyi also knows that people can share adversity, but not wealth and honor, so Wang Shouyi usually keeps a low profile. Although he is a member of the cabinet, Wang Shouyi rarely speaks even in the court, and he does not cultivate his cronies. All of them

Everything is done by his subordinates. He drinks tea and reads newspapers every day. Zhu Xiluo is very satisfied with this. Moreover, Ding Guogong has no children. The sons of British Duke and Qian Guogong died in the battle. Only Wang Shouyi

His children were intact, but Wang Shouyi did not let his children participate in political affairs. He basically stayed at home, waiting for his death so that he could inherit his title.

In order to keep Wang Shouyi, the stingy Zhu Xiluo also spent a huge amount of money to build a palace for Wang Shouyi. It covers an area of ​​five acres and has five entrances and five exits. Of course, it is different from the ancient court officials who occupied the same area.

Compared with the big house of 100 acres, it is indeed very shabby. However, this is Zhu Xiluo's first time to spend money to build a house for his ministers. People are most afraid of comparison. If a person treats you well all his life, there will be

If someone does something bad to you, you will say that he is not good. But if someone has been bad all his life, and suddenly does a good thing, you will think he is a good person. For example, Zhu Xiluo has been stingy all his life, and suddenly he pays for it with his own money.

Although the house you built is a bit small, what else can you say? You should be grateful and grateful for the emperor's kindness. After all, you also took away Zhu Xiluo's first time, so Wang Shouyi doesn't have any objections, and he doesn't have many family members, so it is enough to live in.

Got off.

Of course, it is also to save money. From the outside, Wang Shouyi's Guogong Mansion still looks very simple, with cyan walls and vermilion doors. The paint has peeled off in some places. The plaque with the three words "Guogong Mansion" on it is also made of ordinary materials, because

Due to time, many places have been damaged, and the three golden characters were not written by famous artists. Wang Shouyi had doubted for a long time whether these three characters were written by Zhu Xiluo, because the characters written by Lao Zhu were not the same as his own.

The hanging ones are just as ugly.

There are two majestic stone lions outside. They are probably cheap goods. The surface is very rough and has been eroded by wind and rain. The surface is peeling off in some places. It makes people very suspicious whether Zhu Xiluo bought a fake one and it is not made of stone.

, but made of cement. Some of the bricks on the masonry road in front are somewhat broken. Wang Shouyi once told the British minister from the Ministry of Works about this, but Zhu Xiluo never approved the repair money.

Walking into the gate, there are more than a dozen houses in a row, with some utility rooms, servants' bedrooms, and kitchens. Walking into the first small door, it is the small courtyard where Min Guogong lives. There is no rockery pond or

The carved corridor and bluestone pavement are very simple with some unknown flowers and willow trees planted on the roadside. On the left is the small courtyard of the second young master Wang Jixin, which is not big. On the right is the small courtyard of the third young lady Wang Jixian. Wang Jixian

He is the child of Wang Shouyi's eldest brother. He also died on the battlefield. Wang Shouyi has always treated him as his own child and has always lived with him. He is also very doted on. A little further to the right is the small courtyard of the eldest young master Wang Jizu. His small courtyard is more

It's small. When you come to the Moon Gate, you'll find a hallway with a bedroom on one side.

The open spaces at the back have also been fully utilized by Wang Shouyi and turned into vegetable fields, crop fields, and breeding areas. The current vegetable grains are either so-called genetically modified, or they use chemicals such as fertilizers and urea, and they taste good.

It is harmful to the body, and so is the meat. Swine flu has been popular recently, so it is better to grow it yourself, raise it yourself, and eat it yourself. After all, Wang Shouyi has become the Duke of the country, and he no longer has much ideal pursuit. His biggest wish is

No illness or disaster, and you can live a healthy life.

The seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's house, and ordinary people rarely pass by the door of the Duke of Min's Mansion. Because Wang Shouyi usually doesn't care about things and doesn't have much real power, there are very few people who come to Wang Shouyi through the back door. The door of the Duke of Min's Mansion is even more

It seems deserted.

As the gatekeepers of Min Guogong's mansion, Bai Mao and Hei Gou, well, they also followed the tradition of having a humble name to make a living. At this moment, the two of them were sitting in front of the door, leaning against the door frame and taking a nap when they heard the sound of a car in the distance.

Knowing that cars have not yet become popular, ordinary people rarely have cars, and there are only some wealthy businessmen, as well as some court officials. Of course, the Duke of Min's Mansion is not a place where some businessmen can come. Naturally, the people who come should be officials from the court.

Both of them opened their eyes, looked at each other with meaningful expressions, stood up and looked at the passing car.

Since ancient times, in the circle of doormen, there has been an unspoken rule that if you want to see the owner, you have to pay for a red envelope. Of course, the number of red envelopes determines how long you have to wait to see the owner. Just like if you want to ask for directions.

, just like taking out a cigarette first.

As a guard of one of the four major imperial palaces, the white-haired black dog is also very proud. You must know that this job requires competition. I think there were not a few people who applied for this profession back then. There were three floors inside and three floors outside, and even the streets

There are all the people above, but it was me who got this position in the end. Why is that? It’s because I am good enough. What an honor it is. This is also the virtue accumulated by our ancestors, and there is smoke rising from the graves of our ancestors.

Don’t underestimate a doorman. They are completely the external reflection of their master. Not only must they be able to endure loneliness, endure hardships and stand hard work, but they must also have the ability to observe people’s emotions. There is still a certain degree to which a white-haired black dog can work in this position for so long.

If you have strong business ability, don't underestimate anyone. Everyone has value, even if it is a stone in the pit, it can be useful.

When they saw the car approaching, they knew that the time had come for them to make a fortune. There was no doubt that the person coming was here to build relationships and use the back door. Although this happened rarely, the white-haired black dog had been seen before. This was also his own

A legal economic income that does not require taxation.

The car stopped, and Hao Liande got out of the car with the gift box, came to the door, and said, "Excuse me, please give me an announcement."

Seeing the gift box, White Cat and Black Dog became more convinced of their thoughts. They looked at Hao Liande with a smile and said with a smile: "This gentleman wants to see our master."

"Yes", Hao Liande replied.

Because of his special status, Hao Liande still felt a little inferior to himself even though he was a royal eunuch. Also because he was a close relative of the Holy Emperor, Hao Liande rarely interacted with several princes, and he also served as the commander of the Royal Guards.

What does Jinyiwei do for this official position? It exists to harm loyal ministers and frame Zhongliang. Hao Liande is like a beggar begging for food. He can't even hide. Who would think of dating Hao Liande? Basically everyone Hao Liande comes into contact with is

He was a dead man, and few people knew Hao Liande.

Of course, White Cat and Black Dog don’t know Hao Liande.

"Look, it's so hot. When we go to report it, we brothers are tired and sweating. Moreover, our brothers are weak and easily suffer from heat stroke when we sweat. We will faint. If we faint, we need to buy some supplements to replenish our bodies. You

Seeing as we hurt our bodies, we can’t hurt our hearts,” the white cat said, holding his heart.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Hao Liande was born into a well-known family, and the people he came into contact with were all gentlemen and elegant people. Later he was castrated, but then he followed Zhu Xiluo, and the people he came into contact with were either gentlemen or military generals.

I don’t have so many tricks up my sleeve, so naturally I don’t understand these things outside very well.

"You are so stupid," Black Dog couldn't help but say, "It means you are responsible for the medical expenses."

"Oh, but I don't have any money, how can I write an IOU?" Hao Liande understood what these two people meant. They were asking for bribes. Hao Liande had no relatives or descendants, so he basically used the wages paid by the palace.

If not, it's not impossible to give it to these two. The most important thing is that Hao Liande really doesn't have the habit of carrying money.

"Haha," Bai Mao said coldly, "Do you think we brothers are stupid? You are planning to deceive us into being uneducated by writing an IOU."

"Then what do you want?"

"If you don't have any money, you can go back and get it. We're not in a hurry." Black Dog said with a smile.

Life in the palace was also very boring. After finally meeting these two living treasures, Hao Liande also wanted to have a good time teasing them.

"Look, can I make up the money when I come next time? I see that Duke Min is in an emergency."

"Humph, if you want to talk about it next time, to tell you the truth, it's impossible for my master to say a nice word to you. In the past, there were people who came to ask our master to say something to him about changing jobs and making progress.

My master politely refused, and we don’t want the money anymore. I advise you to go back, lest the greater your hopes, the greater your disappointment.”

White Cat said seriously.

"But I am a distant relative of Duke Min, and I came here from a long way away." Hao Liande pretended to be unwilling to give up.

"That's useless. Our second young master wanted the master to give him an official position, but he refused." White Cat continued. It was obvious that as doormen, the two of them knew a lot.

"Haha, I'm not joking with you anymore. Go in quickly and report. Just say I am Hao Liande." Hao Liande said with a smile.

Hao Liande was also very famous as the last eunuch in the history of the Central Plains. There was once a businessman who was not afraid of death. He used Hao Liande's face to advertise his own contraceptive pills and put them on the market. The response was very good, but the consequences for this man were not good.

It was so good that he was fined a lot and served three months in prison.

When they heard Hao Liande's name, the two of them were also very surprised. After all, this was a celebrity. Black Dog was so excited that his teeth were chattering and his face turned red. It was like a fan with a trembling voice when he saw his idol.

From the mouth of the black dog came: "You will always be the last eunuch."
