When we returned to the dormitory, several young eunuchs had already returned. Our bedroom was in a remote corner. Half of the room was a kang. There were eight people sleeping side by side on the kang, with each person only having a space of more than one meter wide.

Looking at my roommates wrapped in quilts, I really felt pity for them. These people all joined the palace as eunuchs because their families were poor. They worked as slaves every day for only a few taels of silver a year.

"Rongzi is back." The eunuch named Kawako stretched out his head and greeted.

"Well, I'm back." I took off my clothes three times and got into the quilt. The thin quilt made me tremble with the cold.

After a while, the oil lamps in the room went out, and everyone seemed to be asleep. The snoring that occasionally came to mind seemed so clear in the quiet night.

I opened my eyes and thought back to everything that had happened in the past three months. It seemed that I had been working as a little eunuch in obscurity, but there were very few things that I could recall.

Slowly, a beautiful smiling face appeared in front of me. It was none other than Concubine Xiao. Her smiles flashed in my mind, and I started laughing unconsciously.

Looking at the lonely moon outside the window, I silently said to myself, after all, I was a person from more than a thousand years ago, how could I be willing to be a eunuch? I will work hard for my future.

Concubine Xiao's voice and smile appeared in my mind again, and I fell asleep with a quiet smile.

The next day, before dawn, Rong Haisheng suddenly touched my room and woke me up, "Get up and come to me." I got up sleepily, walked out, went under a tree, and asked hurriedly: "

What's the matter, Mr. Rong? It's so urgent."

"I want to ask you to do something for me. If it is done, I will be rewarded heavily." Rong Haisheng said quietly.

"What's the matter?" I asked cautiously. If it wasn't an emergency, Rong Haisheng wouldn't have come before dawn.

"Help me sell my gold and silver jewelry and exchange them for banknotes." Rong Haisheng said in a low voice.

"Ah? Where can I sell it?" I asked curiously, why change it to a banknote? Isn't real money more attractive?

"In the East Market, there is a store that specializes in collecting gold and silver jewelry. I think I can sell it for more than 30,000 taels."

"Dongshi? How to get there?" I asked doubtfully. This is the palace, and ordinary eunuchs have no right to go out. I still know this.

"Before dawn, there will be a group of cooks in the palace going out from the north gate to buy vegetables. I have already said hello. You can follow them out and wait at the door before six o'clock in the afternoon. I will go and greet you." Rong Haisheng said.

.

I nodded and then asked: "Why sell?"

Rong Haisheng didn't say anything. I guess his batch of gold, silver and jewelery came from a legitimate source. If he keeps it for a long time, he's afraid something will come out, so he can exchange it for banknotes. Thirty thousand taels is not a small amount. If he is caught, he will probably be beheaded.

It's light, but if you don't help Rong Haisheng now, life will probably be difficult in the future.

I simply packed up, put on ordinary people's clothes, and arrived not far from the north gate with a bag on my back. The backpack contained all Rong Haisheng's treasures.

A group of cooks appeared on time, and I stepped forward to say hello: "Good morning, brothers. Eunuch Rong asked me to follow you out of the palace to do some errands."

These cooks must have taken advantage of it, and they all said with smiles: "It's okay. But you'd better put your baggage in the vegetable basket to avoid being inspected by the guards at the door." I thought so, so I stuffed the baggage into the vegetable basket and used some sacks.

Covered up, these cooks have been buying food for the palace all year round, and are familiar with the guards, but suddenly there is one more of me. I explain that it is nothing, and that one more baggage is more or less a trouble.
