One hundred and fifty-three water and fire
The sky outside was getting darker, and the dim light in the setting sun was lazily sprinkled on the table and the ground from the window, and the tea cup was accompanied by a circle of tiny and faint halos, which made people feel tired.
It has been almost a day since she cried and worshiped from the palace. Old Mrs. Xu was so old that she had a stroke. Although she had been strong in her spirit, she was really unsatisfied with her body. In addition, Fengle Tower has a big work and a concubine's couch is set up in each room on the second floor for guests to take a nap. She really couldn't hold on. Seeing that Zhu Yuan had not returned to Fengle Tower for a long time, she leaned on the concubine's couch and closed her eyes.
Mr. Xu Er was nervous. Seeing that she was asleep, he used the excuse to go downstairs to ask for information. After coming out of the room, he rushed straight to the kitchen with concern. When he saw Ji Chen, he raised his eyebrows and shouted.
Ji Chen had dealt with Master Xu Er. After Yoon Jichuan Xiang Wentian was sent out by Zhu Yuan to do business one after another, Shu Chen took over their errands and occasionally had some contact with Master Xu Er. As Shu Chen's younger brother, Ji Chen could naturally sometimes talk to Master Xu Er.
Seeing that it was Mr. Xu Er, he smiled warmly and greeted him politely: "Why is Mr. Xu Er free to come? Please sit down quickly. I will have someone arrange a high-end private room. Are you a banquet, or?"
Master Xu Er waved his hand and asked straightforwardly: "Will the county lord come here today?"
Are you looking for her own girl? Ji Chen subconsciously shook his head. Seeing that the second master was restless, he said, "It's unknown whether the girl comes or not. She usually doesn't come. Today, she seems to have entered the palace. I'm afraid it will be too late to come out of the palace. She probably won't come."
What?
Going into the palace?
Mr. Xu Er was a little stunned.
Today, Old Mrs. Xu also went into the palace, but they came here straight from the palace!
Since the old lady has also entered the palace, it should be a match for Zhu Yuan. Why did the old lady still come to Fengle Tower? She must know that if Zhu Yuan is still in the palace, it may not be out so soon!
The second master was surprised and frowned and couldn't figure it out.
Since he didn't know who the old lady was coming to look for, he naturally couldn't say anything. When Ji Chen asked him if he was looking for Zhu Yuan, he thought about it and said calmly: "My mother is here, and she is in the yellow-sized room upstairs. I originally thought she was here to find the county lord, so I thought to notify the county lord first to avoid something happening at that time. But now it seems that the old lady should not be trying to find trouble for the county lord, so let it go."
Ji Chen immediately became very energetic, as if he was facing a great enemy, he told the people below to do things to be careful and not be troubled by the upstairs.
Mr. Xu returned to the second floor in a daze and found that Butler Xu and the Xu family were both outside the private room. The door of the private room was closed. When he arrived in front of him, he was stopped by Butler Xu just when he wanted to speak. He couldn't help but feel a little confused: "What's wrong? The old lady is awake?"
Butler Xu smiled at Master Xu Er, lowered his voice and said, "The old lady is meeting guests. I'm so worried about Master Er, go to the next door first."
Go next door?
Mr. Xu Er was even more confused, not sure what the old lady was selling.
At this time, the old lady Xu in the elegant room drank a sip of tea and laughed at a familiar eunuch opposite with a smile: "After that Eunuch Sun is still admiring me. I am now hated by people and ghosts. The world is cold and cold. Everyone wants to take a detour when they see me, for fear of being plagued by bad luck. Eunuch Sun is still taking the time to see me, the old woman. The old woman is so flattered."
Unlike ordinary eunuchs, the other is tall and majestic, and looks majestic. He doesn't look like a eunuch, but a military officer. At this moment, his expression was faint, and he was not moved by Mrs. Xu's words. He just said, "The old lady is so serious. The duke values me. When I was purified, I almost died. It was the duke who felt sorry for me and said to my master that I had left my life. I have no chance to repay my kindness over the years. Now that the old lady can use me, our family is of course obliged."
Zhang Qing and Sun Duo are about the same age, but Zhang Qing climbed up from below and was a tough guy who could not spit out his bones. Sun Duo was different. Although he was also lying on others, he was indeed a bit real.
When he was a brick factory eunuch in Nanjing, the Nanjing brick factory operated very well. Then he was promoted to Suzhou, became a governor eunuch, and then promoted to the capital, becoming the governor eunuch of the three camps.
This can be considered Zhang Qing's old opponent, and both of them often have battles.
Old Mrs. Xu sighed: "That's right, but it's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's hard to help you in time. Eunuch Sun is grateful for his help at this time. If the Duke still has a day back, he will definitely repay you twice!"
Eunuch Sun raised his hand, and his expression was still calm: "You said this, just let me see you. Since our family has followed you to see you, we are naturally ready. We are so familiar with each other and there is nothing to say. Just say it, what else do we need to do?"
Old Mrs. Xu was very satisfied with Eunuch Sun's attitude.
It's not in vain that she made a special trip to the palace today. She has not been so embarrassed for many years. Old Mrs. Xu is now completely calm. Seeing Eunuch Sun say this, Old Mrs. Xu said: "The Duke of the Kingdom has been loyal to the emperor and patriotism all his life, but no one is perfect. He is a high and powerful person and will inevitably be hated by others. The crisis facing the Duke of the Kingdom this time must not escape the eyes of your eunuch Sun. My father-in-law, I want to ask you for a word. Can you help? The Duke of the Kingdom is far away in Yunnan and the prince is imprisoned. Now there are only a group of old, weak, women and children in the Duke of the Kingdom. In the storm, if the Duke of the Kingdom can reach out to help us, the Duke of the Kingdom will always regard you as your benefactor!"
Eunuch Sun raised his eyebrows at Old Mrs. Xu meaningfully, and raised his voice: "The old lady is forcing our family to fight with my senior brother? But who is the senior brother? He has been with his godfather for many years. His relationship is extraordinary, but I am different. I have been working outside for many years and have been transferred back to the capital in the past two years..."
Old Mrs. Xu took a sip of tea and didn't care about Eunuch Sun's perfunctory words. She just smiled at herself: "My father-in-law is a smart person, so why not do this? What exactly do you want? Why not make a condition? As long as your father-in-law can be proud and let us pass the test, we will definitely thank you very much!"
