After Chen Hong got off duty, he got on a warm sedan and went back to his residence in Ju'er Hutong outside Bei'anmen.
Eunuch Chen lives in the Wujin mansion, where there are more than 200 housekeepers, servants, maids, and wives.
¡°Although he is a eunuch, he also married a wife and four concubines, and also adopted several nieces and nephews to live in the house. He is almost a complete family.
When the father-in-law returned to the house, the beautiful wives and concubines hurriedly welcomed him into the house, took off his hat and shoes, and changed his clothes into home clothes. They then massaged him and asked him softly whether he had a hard night last night. , is there anything unpleasant?
While talking to him, he also fed him soup. I am extremely satisfied with serving Eunuch Chen, and I feel that my original choice was not wrong
Although I have paid some physical price, if I still stay in my hometown in Xinyang, I will definitely not be able to marry a wife now, and those things will be useless and will only cause trouble.
Eunuch Chen comforted himself and asked his adopted eldest son Chen Dafa to go next door to invite Daxia Shao over.
He and the Danyang hero are old acquaintances. Chen Hong met Shao Fang when he was still the chief supervisor of the imperial palace and was responsible for purchasing supplies for the palace.
The greatest skill of Shao Daxia is that he can make friends with anyone, including eunuchs. Chen Hong also intended to make friends with this powerful Jiangnan hero, and the two became good friends after going back and forth.
When Chen Hongneng became the imperial eunuch, and then the ceremonial eunuch, Shao Fang worked hard The elixirs, secret recipes, utensils, etc. that Eunuch Chen presented to Emperor Longqing were all helped by Shao Daxia from home and abroad. Collected. The relationship between the two naturally became closer.
Why did Shao Fang dare to say so brazenly and generously that he could make Xu Jiegao rise again? In fact, it depends on the card of Chen Hong.
Of course you can also say that this is too unreliable, right? Chen Hong only holds the fourth position in the Supervisor of Ceremonies, so how can he be so capable?
But don¡¯t the charlatans make a living by bragging about Boyi? Shao Daxia is very conscientious.
??~~
After a while, Shao Fang came.
¡°After he went to Beijing two months ago, he bought a house next to Chen Hong¡¯s house and lived there. As long as Chen Hong is not on duty, the two of them will play together and be inseparable.
Under Shao Fang's provocation, Eunuch Chen was finally no longer satisfied with his wife and children on the hot bed, and aroused his ambition to become the eunuch of the ceremony.
Through repeated brainwashing, Shao Fang convinced Chen Hong that as long as Gao Gongqi recovered, he could become a superior eunuch. No, as soon as he saw some hope, he hurriedly reported the good news to Shao Fang.
Shao Daxia was worried about Gao Gong's delay in passing the imperial examination. Hearing Eunuch Chen talk about the roundabout tactics Zhang Juzheng came up with, he couldn't help but feel happy.
???????? Secretly, now I can be considered accountable to Prime Minister Gao!
On his face, he said calmly: "You haven't even written your horoscope yet, so don't be too happy too early. Let's wait and see what happens, and celebrate when we have accurate information."
"Brother, you are so mature! I listen to you." Chen Hong gave up the idea of ??celebrating.
¡°As everyone knows, Shao Fang just wants to go home and think about it, how to boast in a letter to Gao Gong, and make Gao Xianggong believe that he is the number one contributor to helping him get out of trouble.
In the blink of an eye, Shao Daxia has made up how he overcame the five major links and seven major difficulties one by one, and he almost moved himself to tears.

In the evening, the snow was still falling, but there was no snow on the streets of Dongcheng Shijia Hutong, and charcoal residue was spread on the ground to prevent slipping.
This was done by the Dongcheng Military and Horse Division, but not all alleys have this treatment. Only those who happened to live in the same alley as high-ranking officials of the imperial court could get the credit.
Maybe, this is life.
The house at the beginning of Shijia Hutong is the residence of Wang Bengu, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
This autumn, Wang Bengu, who took a step further and was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, finished his day's work and returned to his house in a sedan chair.
The foyer of his home is connected to the sedan hall, and the sedan can be carried directly in.
The servants lit a large charcoal pot in the sedan hall so that the master could not feel the cold after getting off the sedan.
The steward opened the thick sedan curtain and respectfully asked Wang Bengu to get off the sedan.
Wang Bengu was a man of great official authority, and even after returning home, he remained unsmiling. He walked intently along the airtight corridor to the back house.
The housekeeper bowed and followed behind, reporting in a low voice: "Master Qi, Xu Wu is here."
Wang Bengu said calmly: "How long have you been here?"
"We'll be here at noon. I've been waiting in the flower hall." The housekeeper said softly: "Look at the posture, I don't plan to leave if I don't see the master today."??. "
"He came quickly enough." Wang Bengu frowned slightly and continued to move forward with his head raised: "Let him wait in the study."
"Yes." The housekeeper responded and hurried to pass the message.

Although Mr. Xu Ge has retired from Beijing, dozens of Xu family¡¯s stores in the capital are still operating as usual.
Especially when overseas sales are cut off, the importance of the Beijing market becomes highlighted. The reason why the Xu family is better off than other companies is that their family mainly produces cotton cloth and their domestic sales are also good. The second is to monopolize the cotton market in Beijing and relieve the pressure of payment collection.
Therefore, the Xu family left their most capable steward, Xu Wu, in the capital and asked him to take good care of the business in the capital.
Early this morning, Xu Wu received an urgent letter from Songjiang it arrived a little earlier than the imperial Pegasus express.
¡°Then he followed Mr. Xu Ge¡¯s instructions and came to see Wang Bengu.
Of course Xu Wu knew that Wang Bengu could not go home until dark. But he still came early to sit and wait, making enough gestures.
It was dark and I finally saw someone.
He followed the housekeeper to the study and saw Wang Bengu wearing a well-cut Songjiang blue Qingyuan Taoist robe. Even though I was at home, I still wore a mesh scarf on my head, tightly wrapped around my head.
"The villain pays homage to Shaozhong Zai." Xu Wu quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"I already know your purpose of coming." Wang Bengu said coldly: "Duke Cunzhai is so anxious to call you here. Does it really have anything to do with that matter?"
"Of course not." Xu Wu quickly denied it: "Who is our Xu family? How could we do such a thing to seek death?"
"Then what are you doing here?" Wang Bengu sneered.
"No one can hurt a tiger's heart, but a tiger can do harm to one's will." Xu Wutang said without missing a beat: "In order to prevent problems before they happen, and to allow the people of Jiangnan to live a good life for a few years, I ask Shaozukazai to choose a kind and kind man for the ten prefectures in Jiangnan." The governor."
"How can I do that?" Wang Bengu showed an inhumane expression.
"This is a candidate that the old man can accept." Xu Wu raised his head, presented a list of names with both hands, and said to himself: "Please Shaozukazai, for the sake of past friendship, do not refuse. After the matter is completed, the past things will be written off. Our Xu family will never bother Shaozhong Zai again."
"Seriously?" Wang Bengu's expression suddenly changed.
"Seriously." Xu Wu nodded heavily and said: "The letter of guarantee written by Shaozukazai back then will be returned together."
That was a nightmare that had troubled him for ten years. Wang Bengu stared at Xu Wu with gloomy eyes for a long time, and finally reached out and took the list.
