Li Huan signaled everyone to get up. A young eunuch hurriedly brought Li Huan an imperial chair and sat on the imperial chair. Li Huan looked at the eighteen young eunuchs and said seriously: "Li treats everyone as his own family. See you later."
I don’t need too much red tape, our Li family doesn’t have that much etiquette.”
All the young eunuchs said in unison: "Yes!"
With his thoughts moving, Li Huan looked at the crowd and said, "Let me ask you, did you ever read and write in the palace?"
One of the older eunuchs bravely said: "To tell you what the young master is saying, after we cleanse ourselves and enter the palace to recuperate, we enter the inner study hall and are taught reading and literacy by officials from the Hanlin Academy, and then we are assigned to various places to listen.
use."
Although Li Huan had long known that the Ming Dynasty had a mature process for the use of eunuchs, he was not clear about the specific circumstances. Now that he heard this, he immediately understood that since these young eunuchs could be assigned, they wanted to learn literacy.
It should have passed.
After looking at everyone, Li Huan said: "So, you should all be able to read and write?"
The young eunuchs nodded, and Li Huan pointed to one of the youngest eunuchs, who was estimated to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, and said: "Come and memorize the thousand-character text and listen to it."
listen."
According to what Li Huan knew, children who were educated in this era often started with the Thousand-Character Classic. If these little eunuchs really read and wrote in the inner study hall, then the Thousand-Character Classic must be what they must learn.
The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, and with a bit of nervousness, he slowly stood up and said: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is primitive..."
After reciting a thousand-character essay, it was really accurate. Now Li Huan was convinced that these little eunuchs could really read and write.
Originally, Li Huan was a little worried about whether his plan could be carried out smoothly. Now that these young eunuchs can read and write, it naturally saves a lot of trouble.
After all, Li Huan planned to give these little eunuchs the evil-fighting sword manual to practice. If they didn't know a word of Chinese characters, he would probably have to spend a lot of effort teaching them. But these little eunuchs had already been taught by the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy.
, Li Huan felt that with such a foundation, he would definitely be able to master it in the shortest possible time if he practiced the evil-repelling sword manual.
His eyes fell on the oldest eunuch, Li Huan said: "What's your name?"
The eunuch hurriedly said: "Go back to the young master, my name is Cao Yu."
Li Huan nodded slightly and said: "Cao Yu, right? You are the oldest among them, so you will be responsible for managing them from now on. Is there any problem?"
Cao Yu's eyes were full of light and he said: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely restrain everyone and work hard."
Standing up, Li Huan ordered: "Okay, you guys can take a break these days. I will have something to tell you after some time."
After leaving the yard, Li Huan walked slowly, followed closely by Chen Yao. Suddenly, Li Huan stopped, his eyes fell on Chen Yao and said: "Chen Yao, I have something for you to do."
Chen Yao hurriedly said, "My lord, just give me your orders."
Li Huan ordered him to do things without any hesitation, and Chen Yao could only feel extremely happy, because it meant that Li Huan treated him as a confidant, and you should know that this was a treatment that many people could not fight for.
Li Huan said slowly: "Take my handwritten letter and go to Fujian Jinyiwei Qianhu Station, and then send a letter home to Langqi Island in Changle County for me."
Chen Yao had long known that Li Huan's hometown was in Langqi Island, Changle County, Fuzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province. Now Li Huan actually asked him to send him a letter from home. This kind of trust filled Chen Yao's heart with excitement, and he suppressed the joy in his heart and said
: "Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will handle things properly."
Li Huan patted Chen Yao on the shoulder and said, "Follow me to get the letter."
Chen Yao followed Li Huan into the study and stood respectfully aside, while Li Huan took out two sealed letters from the desk beside him and handed them to Chen Yao and said: "Go home and make arrangements today.
Let’s hit the road tomorrow.”
In the evening, the city gate of the capital was about to close. On the official road not far away, a dozen carriages were slowly approaching. On both sides of the carriages were a dozen strong men riding horses, faintly protecting the carriages.
in.
The soldier guarding the gate stopped immediately when he saw the dozen or so carriages preparing to close the city gate, and quickly stepped aside to get out of the way.
Just look at the dozens of strong men who were full of evil spirits, and look at the carriages. These soldiers guarding the city are not fools, so they naturally know that these people are not someone they can provoke at all.
Among the leading carriages, Qian Ning, who was dressed in smart clothes, held a beautiful girl with messy clothes in his arms. When he saw the gate of the capital through the curtain, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart. His big hand that was hidden in the lapel of his clothes subconsciously exerted force.
Hearing a cry of pain brought Qian Ning back to his senses.
"Beijing, I, Qian Ning, am finally back!"
Qian Ning took his big hand out from between the warm-smelling soft jade, calmed down and said to his men outside the carriage: "Go to Liu Gong's house!"
The carriage slowly passed through the city gate and entered the capital, heading towards a certain location in the night.
Although the number of pedestrians on the street was much thinner at this time, there were still quite a few people who could not help but cast curious glances at the carriages one after another.
It's a pity that the carriage is so tight that it's impossible to tell who is carrying it. Just by looking at the dozen or so strong knights guarding the carriage, you can guess that this group of people has an extraordinary origin.
The carriage creaked and creaked forward, and after traveling for a long time, it stopped. The man driving the carriage said respectfully: "Sir, Mr. Liu's residence has arrived!"
After hearing this, Qian Ning walked out of the carriage and looked at the majestic mansion in front of him, with infinite expectations in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, straightening his clothes, Qian Ning strode forward.
The two servants guarding the door had already seen the dozen or so carriages that had stopped. Although they were quite surprised, as Liu Jinrong was promoted to the Chief of Ceremonies, many people came to curry favor with Liu Jin, the person who gave gifts every day.
It can be said that there is an endless stream. Although the dozen or so carriages seems a bit exaggerated, the servants who claim to be used to big scenes are not unreasonable.
"Who is coming? May I have a greeting?"
A servant stopped Qian Ning, showing no intention of taking Qian Ning seriously.
However, Qian Ning was not worried. He took out a letter from his arms and said: "Qian Ning, a member of the Jinyi Guards family, went out on official business under the secret order of my father-in-law. When I came back this time, I specially sent my order to my father-in-law."
As he spoke, Qian Ning handed the letter to the other party, looked directly at the other party and said, "Please pass it on for me!"
When the servant heard that Qian Ning was actually sent on official business by Liu Jin, his attitude immediately changed. A smile appeared on his face and he said: "I see, I will go and help you."
Qian Ning stood in front of the mansion, looking at the impressive carriages parked not far away. He even saw officials wearing third- and fourth-grade official uniforms standing there with eager expressions, as if they were talking.
Waiting for Liu Jin's interview.
Seeing this scene, Qian Ning felt endless waves in his heart. This situation made Qian Ning think about it and secretly guessed that something big must have happened in the court that he didn't know about during the time he left Beijing.
