It was really difficult for Old Chu. Ever since he left Liuzhou County, Chu Wensheng had been thinking about one thing: how to explain it to his precious son when he returned home.
If it were any other dad, he would just rubbish your ears and ask you x questions, then go back home and study!
But Lao Chu is not such a father. He is reluctant to beat his son and is afraid that his son will worry. It is really difficult for him.
Fortunately, Fu San came in, opened the door, and seemed happy.
"Master, I guarantee that the housekeeper said you are back."
Fu San was also a person who didn't know etiquette. After running in, he stood in front of Chu Wensheng and looked at it from top to bottom. When he saw that there were no missing parts, he breathed a sigh of relief and grinned sillyly.
Facing this personal guard who had been with him for many years, Chu Wensheng kicked Fu San in the calf in an angry manner.
Then, like a magic trick, Chu Wensheng took out a bundle from under the bed and threw it to Fu San.
"Send it to the north of the city tomorrow."
Fu San's expression changed slightly and he wanted to ask something, but Chu Wensheng glared at him.
Fu San said nothing and took the package.
Chu Wensheng laughed and changed the subject: "Don't Qing'er have to go to the Hubu Yamen Office today to work as an errand?"
This time, it was Chu Qing's turn to be extremely embarrassed.
"Forehead…"
Chu Wensheng's expression changed drastically: "Have you been dismissed?"
"That's not true."
Chu Qing didn't even know where to start. Since his father left Beijing, so many things have happened, from the household department, to the Tianlao in the palace, from the Tianlao in the palace, to the Qianqiying Yamen Office, from the Yamen
In just over two months since I arrived in the south of the city, too many things have happened.
Bao Guisheng's voice came from outside the door: "Master, there is a eunuch in the palace."
Chu Wensheng was not very surprised. After the ministers who left the capital returned to the capital, they had to go to the palace first to "debrief", that is, to report to the emperor in the Jingyi Hall how things were done and how they were done. After that, there were no problems.
Only then can you return to the government office or continue to go to court.
When we parted last night, Huang Laosi didn't even fart, so Chu Wensheng didn't go to court today and waited in the mansion.
The eunuch came to the palace, and he must have summoned Chu Wensheng. However, he had to go to court in the morning, so Lao Chu had to enter the palace first, and would not meet the emperor until after the court was over.
Chu Wensheng left the room and went to see the eunuch.
Chu Qing followed behind, slightly worried, fearing that the emperor would send someone to cause trouble.
He was a middle-aged eunuch. He stood in the middle of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking like a human and a dog.
This is normal. After all, eunuchs are considered servants of the emperor. When they leave the palace, they represent the emperor.
Seeing Chu Wensheng coming, the middle-aged eunuch asked: "Master Chu Wensheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
Chu Wensheng walked up and said, "It's me."
"Go to the palace at noon and wait for Your Majesty outside the Jingyi Hall. But I understand."
"understood."
In fact, eunuchs are a group that the courtiers both love and hate.
They say they are just a group of eunuchs, but in fact, when they meet in private, they have to please a little bit. After all, they always walk in the palace and can see the emperor. If they don't like themselves, they can say anything to let the emperor know.
, related to official career.
It is precisely because of this that many eunuchs who are always out of the palace are used to a lot of bad habits. It is common for them to pass on oral instructions, imperial edicts, and the like, and to collect some money in private.
Vice versa, if any father-in-law mentions himself in front of the emperor and says a nice word, the emperor may remember it, which will also be good for his official career.
Of course, those who think so are low-ranking officials.
How could the emperor's impression of ministers, especially court ministers, change because of a little eunuch? It was possible for Sun An.
Chu Wensheng understood this "rule" and didn't have any money with him. He quickly gave Fu San a wink and asked Fu San to go to Bao Guisheng for a small amount of money.
Fu San understood instantly this time. Just as he was about to leave, Chu Qing emerged from the moon door and walked forward.
"This father-in-law, Your Majesty is looking for my father. It's no big deal..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Gonggong said "Ah", which startled Chu Qing.
"Master Chu...no no no, Chu Jiaoxi, no no no, it turns out to be Commander Chu?!"
Eunuch Wang felt as if he had met his biological father, with a smile on his face, and he quickly bent down and saluted: "Wang Fen, the eighth-rank steward of the Palace Propaganda Department, has met Commander Chu."
Chu Qing frowned: "Do you know me?"
"Oh, whoever walks in the palace, eunuchs, maids, imperial guards, and dormitory guards, doesn't know that Commander Chu doesn't want his head."
Yes, everyone in the palace does know Chu Qing, and they know his general appearance even if they have never met him. When he was building the Taowu Palace, Sun An specifically told everyone not to expose the true identity of General Huang Si.
Recently, Chu Qing has been helping the victims every day, and he has stopped telling stories and publishing books.
Huang Laosi couldn't hear the story and was in a bad mood. He would always criticize Sun An when he had nothing to do, saying that Sun An couldn't do anything and couldn't even write stories.
Sun An is almost driven to panic. If this continues, a book may be published in a few years, called "About the little things that the whole world knows that Huang Laosi is the emperor, but Chu Qing does not know".
Chu Qing was happy: "Am I so famous?"
The prince nodded with a smile on his face: "I don't know, I really don't know, you are also in Chu Mansion..."
The eunuch was stunned for a moment and slapped his forehead hard: "It turns out that Commander Chu is the eldest young master of Chu Mansion. No wonder, no wonder."
Chu Wensheng looked at the eunuch and then at the elder, confused.
This eunuch, why is Guan Qing'er called the commander? Does the Ministry of Household Affairs still have the official position of commander?
Chu Qing is indeed very famous in the palace, but Wang Fen has never seen Chu Qing in the palace, but at the Qianqiying Yamen Office. Sun An has been there several times before, and Wang Fen accompanied him, but he was beaten at the door.
He didn't even enter the room, but just looked at Chu Qing. Chu Qing had no impression of him.
When Lao Chu saw the eunuch's groveling look, he was confused: "Qing'er, why does this father-in-law call you the commander?"
Chu Qing smiled bitterly: "Dad, I was just planning to tell you that my son is now on duty at Qianqi Camp."
"Qian..." Chu Wensheng's voice raised an octave: "You are actually working as a servant in Qianqi Camp?"
Wang Fen's face was full of admiration.
Look at Commander Chu, he is very professional, so professional that even his own father doesn’t know what his son does.
Fu San knew Chu Wensheng's attitude towards Qian Qiying's lackadaisical attitude, so Old Chu attacked Xiao Chu and hurriedly took him out to Wang Fen.
Chu Wensheng pointed at Chu Qing, trembling with anger: "You, bastard, you are such a bastard. You work as an errand in the household department. You are doing well. Why did you go to Qianqi camp again?"
Lao Chu is really angry. Among the six departments, the Household Department, no matter how many people spent money to find connections, they can't get in. As a result, Chu Qing did a good job in the Household Department and went to the Qianqi Camp to climb the wall. How can he not be angry?
.
The way Lao Chu feels now is that he and his son filled out their first choice - Lan Xiang with a score of more than 740 points in the college entrance examination.
After finishing it, my second choice is New Oriental...
The third choice is Zuojiatun Vocational and Technical College...
"Dad, please listen to my explanation."
"Wait a minute." Chu Wensheng's face was full of astonishment: "That eunuch just said you were the deputy commander, the deputy commander of Qianqiying?"
"Well, yes, but only temporarily..."
"Oh, my son!" Chu Wensheng suddenly cried out. He stepped forward to hug Chu Qing tightly, his eyes were red, and he slapped Chu Qing's back hard.
"My poor son, it is my father who is sorry for you, my father is sorry for you. It is my father who has neglected you for so many years. It is my father who has not cared about you. I have hidden it from my father for so many years, and my father has not noticed anything fishy.
My poor son, it turns out you are that stupid deputy commander of the Qianqi Battalion. It was so hard to hide it from my father..."
Chu Wensheng was halfway through speaking when he suddenly stepped back, his eyes widened: "Doesn't that mean that from now on, dad can walk sideways in Beijing?!"
"I'm not the commander you think I am..."
Chu Wensheng hugged Chu Qing in his arms again: "Oh, my son, my poor son!"
"Dad, it's not what you think."
Chu Wensheng stepped back again: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. How can my son be the deputy commander of Qianqi Battalion? It makes no sense."
"father…"
"Oh, my poor son..."
For a moment, Chu Wensheng and Mo were stunned, self-denying, self-doubting, self-confirming, and then doubting themselves again.
