The bastard took his nephew Huzi's hand and said softly.
He has never been so happy and satisfied in his life as he is today. The biggest shortcoming in his life has been satisfied today.
From today on, he is a complete person.
But after saying the words "go home," he suddenly felt a little confused.
Where is home?
He was a slave! Even though the princes and ministers of the Ming Dynasty treated him differently and even called him brother, he knew that his true identity was just that of a slave.
Others respect him and please him because he is the emperor's slave, the emperor's closest and trusted slave...
But he never dared to forget his identity, so he didn't dare to get carried away.
His home is in the palace.
But outside the palace, he has nothing!
There is not even a house to accommodate his nephew.
"He Dutang!" The bastard said in a low voice to He Guangyi, "Thank you very much for what happened today. I will keep it in my heart!"
"It depends on what you said, what kind of friendship do we have?" He Guangyi said with a smile, "Your business is my business!"
"Hey! When I heard you talk like that, I thought you were Duke Cao without looking at your face!" The bastard laughed mockingly, reached into his sleeves, and took out two banknotes.
"You scold me?" He Guangyi was displeased.
"I know you are not short of money, but so many brothers have been running around all day for the miscellaneous family!" The bastard said in a low voice, "We can't let everyone's work be in vain!" After saying that, he stuffed it into He Guangyi's belt without explanation, "I owe you
The Za family will feel very sorry for this favor from your boss! If you don’t accept this favor for the brothers, then you don’t regard me, Lao Wang, as a friend!”
"When the Zajia family's niece is found, the Zajia family will have other plans! He Dutang, it is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed! You really have nothing to say to the Zajia family!"
"If I didn't treat you as a friend, I wouldn't be so interested in you!" He Guangyi smiled, looked down at the banknote, and his eyebrows suddenly trembled.
What a grand gesture!
The leading ticket for a thousand silver dollars is three.
"Thank you very much on behalf of the brothers!" He Guangyi said again.
"One of our own!" Bastard smiled mockingly and said to the ignorant Huzi, "Huzi, let's go home!"
"Well..." He Guangyi stepped forward, "You don't have a residence outside, right?" He said, lowering his voice again, "This dynasty is very careful about the supervision of eunuchs. If this matter is done with great fanfare, the eunuchs will be plagued if they are not protected.
A great success in history!"
After saying that, he waved his hand to the people around him to step back, and lowered his voice and said, "There is a house with two entrances in Beicheng, which is the confiscated government property of Jinyiwei! I will prepare a lease contract for you tomorrow, and you must sign it for three years.
Yes, you prepare the rent yourself, forty yuan a year, one hundred and twenty yuan in three years..."
The bastard smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your trouble!"
"But just having a house is not enough. The young master in the house cannot be left alone to take care of him. But the person to take care of him..." He Guangyi said again, "It's better that you choose it yourself!"
"Save it for the miscellaneous family!" The bastard nodded shamefully.
In the future, he will definitely not live in another house all the time. It would be good if he can go there every three to five days. With a young child, people hired from outside will not be at ease after all, and who knows what his character is?
However, this matter does not bother him, as there are so many eunuchs and old ladies in the palace. It would be safest for him to sign a few of them and send them away and keep them at home to help take care of the children.
"Not only must there be servants!" the bastard said to himself in shame, "but also must have a husband! He must be taught to read and write, and in the future he must be allowed to pass the exams and become an official... Only in this way can my old Yang family become stronger with each generation!
"
Thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to pull Hu Zi and said, "Let's go home with uncle!"
Unexpectedly, the tiger did not move.
"What's wrong?" Bastard asked shamefully.
"Brother Erzi!" Huzi whispered, "Mother said that a favor should be repaid with a spring of water. Brother Erzi and I are not relatives. Not only do we take care of the food and the place to live, but also
Helping my nephew go to the Yamen... I can't just leave like this, I have to thank you!"
"Tsk, tsk!" the tortoise said with a smile, "This kid has such a kind heart!"
"Like you!" He Guangyi praised.
~~
The teahouse waiter, Er Zi, was shaking like chaff in a sieve and was dragged over.
He knew who these people were in front of him better than Old Man Liu, so he didn't dare to take a breath.
"Tell me, what reward do you want?" the bastard asked with a smile.
The second son gave the bastard a fearful look and said, "As for this master, I don't want anything!"
"Oh?" The bastard was a little surprised, "You don't want anything? Say, don't be restrained! You are kind to the nephew of the Za family, and the Za family will grant you whatever you want!"
"Villain..." Erzi thought about it, "I really don't want anything!" As he said that, he lowered his head and said, "My cousin treats the villain very well. He has food, clothing and shelter. He will come back at the end of the year.
The family’s money! Even though my cousin is a bit tough on words, she has never criticized the villain harshly. She made all the villain’s quilts!”
"Huh?" This nonsense made the bastard very surprised.
He Guangyi said from the side, "He is a boy in the teahouse, and the manager of the teahouse is his cousin!"
"If you want to talk about what the villain really wants..." Erzi thought about it and continued, "It is to help my cousin work hard and make his business more and more prosperous. And to help my cousin take care of his younger brother.
My aunt has been busy all day and is exhausted..."
"Good boy!" The bastard sighed slightly. Seeing that the second son suddenly became interested in talents, he smiled and said, "If he were in the palace, he would definitely be a good prospect!"
After saying that, he asked again, "Can you read?"
"I've been studying with my cousin for four years, and I can read and do abacus!" Erzi said immediately.
"How about..." He Guangyi whispered to the bastard Bashan from the side, "I can find him a job in Jinyiwei?"
"That's okay, I've already troubled you enough!"
The house can be rented by the bastard with money, and the bastard can be owed Jin Yiwei's favor.
But this favor, the bastard knew that he could never owe it.
Jinyiwei is the emperor's Jinyiwei. Helping him is just for the sake of the emperor's face. If the emperor knows what happened today, he will also say that Jinyiwei did the right thing.
But if he gets irrelevant people into Jin Yiwei, then he is a bastard who is pushing the envelope even further without knowing the importance of advance or retreat.
"Go back to the Za family and talk to the Prince Consort to see if Guanglu Temple is short of manpower." The bastard said in a low voice, "This child is also kind-hearted. If you teach him well, he will definitely do nothing wrong!" He sighed.
, "In this world, there is a shortage of kind-hearted children!"
~~
At this time, Huzi was holding Erzi's hand with tears in his eyes, "Brother Erzi, I'm leaving with my uncle first, and I'll see you at the teahouse another day!"
"Hey!" Although they met by chance, the second son also said with a bit of reluctance, "I'm waiting for you!"
The bastard looked at the two of them, then took his nephew's hand and said, "Let's go home with uncle!"
"Okay!" Huzi followed him closely, then suddenly turned back the next second, "Where's grandpa! Why doesn't he follow!"
"He, go back to your hometown to find your sister first!" The bastard said with a smile, "Do you miss your sister?"
"Yes!" Huzi shed tears again, "On the day my sister was sold, the teacher who bought her gave her an apple. She was reluctant to eat it and gave it to me!"
Suddenly, the bastard's nose felt sour again.
He suddenly remembered that many years ago, on the day he was sold, his sister chased the carriage and shouted heartbreakingly, "Brother..."
~~
The sky is slightly bright.
The copper bell on the curtain swayed, and Li Buquan outside the Nuan Pavilion was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up.
Zhu Yunxi opened the curtain, with a look of sleepiness on his face.
According to his habit, the first thing he does when he wakes up in the morning is rinse his mouth.
At this usual time, there must be a cup of warm tea at hand.
But today it was empty, nothing.
Then he looked at Li Buquan, who was lowering his head to put on his shoes, and asked with a bit of displeasure, "Where is that bastard?"
"Manager Wang..." Li Buquan's voice trembled.
Yesterday, his master, Wang Basha, told him to keep an eye on him, and then he left and never came back...
"Where are the people?" Zhu Yunxi said angrily.
"General Manager Wang has left the palace..." Li Buquan whispered, "He hasn't come back yet!"
In an instant, Zhu Yunxi's face turned cold.
As the general manager of Qianqing Palace, he actually spent the night outside privately?
Even if you stay overnight, you still haven't come back at daybreak?
Then who combs his hair?
At this moment, a voice suddenly came to mind from outside the palace, "You must have been late to come back, my servant. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Get in!" Zhu Yunxi said angrily.
After the words fell, the bastard really came in.
"What did you do last night?" Zhu Yunxi looked at the bastard with dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night.
"Slave..." The bastard looked up shamefully, with tears streaming down his face, and kowtowed, "Slave...Long live my lord, I have a daughter-in-law!"
"Huh? What?" Zhu Yunxi laughed angrily, "You have a child? Haha!"
