Time goes back two hours ago.

When Qian Wuxian and Shen Yun were talking in the living room of the Shen family, Nanjing was guarding the door of the eunuch's mansion, and Xu Bai and Zhao Huchen were waiting.

As in the past, there were some carriages, horses and officials at the gate of the eunuch's mansion, all of whom came to meet the eunuch Xiao Gan, and it is said that some people were already waiting here before dawn.

However, whether you can see the eunuch Xiao Gonggong is not a matter of who gets up early or late, especially if there is no one to introduce it, it is normal to wait from morning to evening, and the people who are waiting can't help but come, Xiao Gonggong may not remember who is waiting at the gate of his mansion, but he should have come but didn't come, then Xiao Gonggong must know.

Eunuchs, their hearts are not too big.

Fortunately, Xu Bai and Zhao Huchen were still introduced.

Just as Zhao Huchen said, although the title of Count An Yuan has been withdrawn by the imperial court, there are still many people in Nanjing who recognize this brand, and similarly, there are so many people who know that he is the bloodline of Uncle An Yuan's Zhao family.

Then, it is normal for Zhao Huchen to run for his own affairs and beg the head of Xiao Gan, the eunuch who guards the town.

Xiao Qian, the eunuch who guarded the town, is said to have been in the palace and the current chief eunuch Cao Jixiang and Gonggong Cao used to wrench his wrist, but now Gonggong Cao is the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, a popular person around the emperor, and Gonggong Xiao went to Nanjing to be a eunuch guarding the town, and the victory or defeat of the wrist wrench between the two is self-evident.

Probably because of this matter, Father-in-law Xiao is very, very sensitive and others don't respect him, if someone thinks that he has lost his position and came to Nanjing to retire and neglect him, then Father-in-law Xiao will definitely use the identity of a eunuch to teach the other party how to be a man and an official.

In the city of Nanjing, it was originally guarded by Wei Guogong and guarded by eunuchs, and the honorables, the military and the palace maintained a balanced situation, but after the change of the civil fort, in Nanjing, the vitality of the Xungui side was greatly damaged, and the military and the palace had a great rise in the right to speak.

However, this eunuch Xiao Gonggong, it seems that after arriving in Nanjing, he is not very interested in other things except silver, as long as he is given the respect he deserves, on weekdays, he will not reach out to stir up things in Nanjing officialdom, and his approach has actually won the favor of the military and nobles, and they even hope that this Xiao Gonggong will continue to work here.

The gate of the Vermilion Town Guard's Mansion had been closed, and no one expected it to open and welcome anyone in. All the people, carriages and horses were waiting near the gatehouse at the side door, and the posts and gift lists that should be handed in had already been handed in, and they didn't seem to have a big choice except to stay up here for a long time.

The side door opened slightly, and the people waiting in front looked towards this side with their eyes, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old eunuch walked out of the side door, frowned and glanced at the people under the steps, and asked sharply: "Zhao Huchen Zhao Gongzi is not here, the ancestor is gracious!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Huchen walked up, "What do you call this little father-in-law?" ”

"Come in with me!" The little eunuch glanced at him, and then looked at Xu Bai behind him: "Since people stay outside the mansion, we can't be cats and dogs who can come in!" ”

"This is my brother!" Zhao Huchen smiled and whispered: "The one who wants to meet Grandpa Xiao is mainly him!" ”

The little eunuch glanced at Xu Bai, didn't speak, and walked in, Zhao Huchen and Xu Bai hurriedly followed. Behind them, the door slowly closed, and a group of disappointed officials whispered, all wondering who the two young men who had entered.

Gonggong Xiao is a middle-aged man in his forties, looking much younger than Yuan Bin, in front of him, an extremely delicate backgammon is fighting inextricably, his opponent is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, seeing that the little eunuch brought Xu Bai and Zhao Huchen to this small courtyard, they were actually in the free time of the tense fight, and there was still time to raise their heads and look at them a few times.

Xu Bai and Zhao Huchen waited quietly until the end of this game.

Xiao Qian smiled, took the towel handed over by the little eunuch and wiped his hands: "No, I'm old, I can't compare to you young people, girl, I admit defeat in this game!" ”

"It's time to get down to business, don't you bother to play with my little girl!" The girl pouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, and come back to another game after it's done!" ”

Xiao Qian turned his head, glanced at Zhao Huchen, and said slowly: "Five thousand taels of silver just to see me, Uncle Zhao, you are quite cheap!" ”

"Don't dare!" Zhao Huchen bowed his head and replied respectfully: "The Zhao family has long lost the title, and the title of Uncle Zhao is not affordable!" ”

"I can't talk about your family's affairs!" Xiao Qian nodded slightly: "However, I still accept your filial piety, in Nanjing City, if anyone bullies you, you can report my name!" ”

After speaking, he turned his head and was about to continue with the girl, only to see the girl pointing behind him, Xiao Qian looked back a little stunned: "Is there anything else?" ”

"Father-in-law, Huchen's filial piety is more than that!" Zhao Huchen said with a smile: "Huchen has a friend who is in business, over the years, he can be regarded as a good business, and when he learned that his father-in-law was working hard to guard Nanjing, he had long wanted to come to meet his father-in-law......

Xiao Qian frowned, the person who came out of the palace, what did the other party mean when he wanted to speak, he knew very well.

"I've never liked trouble!"

"No trouble, no trouble at all!" Zhao Huchen said: "As long as his father-in-law gives him a chance, he will bragging outside in the future and be able to see his father-in-law's heroism!" ”

"Let's see each other then!" Xiao Qian smiled, he naturally would not refuse to give silver on the pole.

"However, he is a little inconvenient!" Zhao Huchen peeked at Xiao Gan's face: "It seems that Jinyiwei has arrived at his house, and even the house has been sealed, but I am afraid that my father-in-law will not speak, and he will not be able to leave his house!" ”

"You little guy, spare such a big bend, just for the last sentence!" Xiao Qian glanced at him angrily: "I'm not old and confused!" ”

"Father-in-law Mingjian!" Zhao Huchen was stunned: "Huchen just thought, even if my friend has some net worth, he has long planned to dedicate it to his father-in-law, Jin Yiwei intervened like this, isn't it just to grab the silver in the hands of his father-in-law?" In the city of Nanjing, when will it be the turn of these brocade guards to do whatever they want? ”

Xiao Qian turned his head and looked at the little girl in front of him who had been staring at them: "Girl, what do you say I should do about this?" ”

"I think what Uncle Zhao said is right, in our Nanjing City, when will it be Jinyiwei's turn to do whatever he wants?" The girl looked as a matter of course: "Uncle Xiao, if you don't bother, just help Uncle Zhao in general, and make some money to lose to me, so that everyone can be fine?" ”

"Count you kid lucky!" Xiao Qian turned his head and snorted, pointing at Zhao Huchen: "Jinyiwei won't just take people to seal the door without a name, however, what the little girl said also makes sense, this is Nanjing City, Jinyiwei will not tell me if he takes someone to seal the door, and he will snatch the silver from me, which is a bit of a disdain for me, the town guard eunuch, I will ask someone to do this thing, but you kid has a lot of flowers and intestines in his stomach, and it will be okay in the future, don't come to my town guard mansion!" ”
