The angel sent by Emperor Liyang to announce the decree to Huang Wei'er this time was a eunuch surnamed Bai, not too old or young, and his face should be in his early thirties, or it could be bigger, after all, eunuchs don't have beards, and they look so young.

However, although he is not very old, this white eunuch has a high status, and he is wearing a six-grade inner service suit.

You must know that according to the official system of the Northern Jin Dynasty, the chief eunuch of the Great Inner is only the fourth grade, and the sixth-grade eunuch is in the palace, and the grade can be regarded as the middle and upper level.

Not to mention that this white eunuch can go out of the palace to pass the decree, eighty percent of them are the right-hand men of Emperor Liyang, and this is the only one, and the ordinary three-grade important ministers are three points inferior to him.

Of course, the people in the Yan Mansion are not very clear about the rules of these officialdoms, and it is all thanks to the Qingyuan County Ling Zhanyong on the side, and the Yan family knows that this smiling white fat eunuch has such a big background.

Don't dare to slack off at the moment, Yan Changlin, who has not yet returned to Fucheng after returning home for the New Year, invited Bai Gonggong, who had completed the decree, to speak in the main hall, and the two brothers Yan Zhen and Yan Xiong and a group of county officials accompanied him.

It didn't take long for Xu Yu, who had already been selected to return to his hometown, to rush to hear the news, and hurriedly asked the Chen family to invite him to the main hall to help watch the point, she was afraid that the Yan Mansion father and son would stab Lou Zi in front of the angel.

After all, the father and son of the Yan family are all from the countryside, and their knowledge of etiquette is too shallow, so it is easy to say the wrong thing, and Zhanyong and others are outsiders, so Chen can't believe it.

In contrast, Xu Yu, as a talented son of Qingyuan, is Yan Kui's brother-in-law and former subordinate, and he is the most suitable candidate to come forward for the Yan family in terms of identity and ability.

……………

The Chen family has a request, Xu Yu will not refuse, in fact, he came this time, because he was worried that the Yan family did not know the etiquette of entertaining angels and did not handle it well, so he came to help.

Before Yan Kui set out on the expedition, he asked Xu Yu to help him take good care of the Yan family, and Xu Yu has always done this, and this time it is the same.

Under the leadership of a subordinate, Xu Yu walked quickly to the main hall, and Yan Changlin, who was chatting with the white eunuch, frowned when he saw Xu Yu coming in, but he still introduced the white eunuch with a smile.

"Father-in-law, this is my son Yan Kui's brother-in-law Xu Yu, who is famous."

The white eunuch nodded and smiled at Xu Yu, and Xu Yu also replied with a scholarly salute: "Student Xu Yu, I have seen Lord Angel." ”

Zhan Yong, who was next to him, didn't interject just now, and when he saw Xu Yu coming in, he hurriedly took this opportunity to show his face.

"My father-in-law doesn't know, this Xu Juren is a first-class talent in our county, when General Yan cleaned up the bandits, Xu Juren was General Yan's military adviser and think tank, and he made a lot of contributions to General Yan."

"It's General Yan's strategist, it's our family's rudeness."

Zhan Yong held Xu Yu like this, and the white eunuch immediately looked at Xu Yu squarely, and hugged Xu Yu with both hands to apologize.

Where did Xu Yu dare to accept the angel's salute, hurriedly dodged, and the two of them talked back and forth, Xu Yu was arranged to sit down by Yan Zhen with a happy face, and the position was only below him, the general's brother.

When the white eunuch saw this scene, his eyes moved slightly, and his eyes became more serious when he looked at Xu Yu.

……………

To tell the truth, when Eunuch Bai first heard Yan Changlin introduce Xu Yu to him just now, he thought that he was a relative of the General's Mansion, and when he saw the letter, he didn't take Xu Yu seriously.

After all, for Eunuch Bai, a county magistrate is really nothing, and it wasn't until he listened to what Zhan Yong said that Eunuch Bai knew that this Xu Juren was not an ordinary person, but Yan Kui's confidant and think tank, and immediately valued Xu Yu to a higher level.

But when he saw Yan Zhen, the son of the Yan family, had a close attitude towards Xu Yu, he pulled him to a position next to him and sat down, and everyone around him, whether it was the Yan family's father and son, Zhanyong and other Qingyuan officials, all took it for granted.

The white eunuch, who had been in the palace for half his life, immediately sensitively noticed that Xu Yu's status in the Yan family was much higher than he thought, and it was even possible that he was Yan Kui's agent of the Yan family who stayed in Qingyuan.

This is not a groundless speculation, don't look at the fact that he didn't talk to Yan Changlin for a long time just now, but at a glance, it can be seen that this old lady of the Yan family has average knowledge in the city, and he is mediocre, and at first glance he is not the character of the master.

And the uncle Yan Zhen, with a loyal and honest face, can't even speak clearly when he sees outsiders, and he doesn't look like a person who can sit at home, and the third master Yan Xiong, he looks shrewd and capable, but he is still young, and it's okay to take care of small things, and big things are estimated to be unable to suppress people.

Originally, the white eunuch was still strange that Yan Kui went out to fight on his own, how could there be a man in the family who could be a director, but now seeing everyone's attitude towards Xu Yu, he naturally has reason to guess that Xu Yu is the agent of the Yan Mansion left by Yan Kui.

……………

Thinking of this, Eunuch Bai's smile at Xu Yu softened more and more, and said to Zhanyong and other Qingyuan officials: "When our family came to Qingyuan, Your Majesty personally told us to ask what tricky and difficult things to do in the general's mansion.

Especially in your local yamen, you must have more snacks, if there is any unsightly small things to look for, don't be afraid of offending people, and then talk about the law first. ”

Zhan Yong and the others nodded yes again and again, and the white eunuch turned his head to look at Yan Changlin and the others, mainly looking at Xu Yu: "If you have any miscellaneous matters, just let these magistrates take care of it."

General Yan is not here, and you don't directly interfere in the affairs of the official, it is better to let them come, rest assured, with His Majesty in charge of you, you will never suffer a loss. ”

Yan Changlin's father and son were overjoyed when they heard this, thinking that the emperor's grace was vast and Yan Kui was full of holy favors, only Xu Yu's eyes flashed, and he was faintly gloomy.

This white eunuch's words are obviously taking care of the general's mansion, but after thinking about it carefully, no matter how you look at it, there is a bit of a knocking meaning, fortunately he is here today, otherwise the father and son of the Yan family will only hear one and understand the other, and there will be a big problem............

Thinking of this, Xu Yu immediately got up and said: "Your Majesty, the student would like to bring Yanfu to thank you, and I also bothered my father-in-law to help give a message to Your Majesty, saying that we must do things according to the order and not discredit the court and Your Majesty." ”

As soon as Xu Yu said this, not to mention the ignorant Yan family father and son, the white eunuch who had been watching his reaction couldn't help but smile, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Xu Yu.

"Don't worry, you'...... If you want us, we will definitely bring it. ”

Xu Yu thanked him, and took out a red envelope from his arms, Zhan Yong and the others immediately turned their heads away, Xu Yu took two steps forward, gently put the red envelope in the hand of the white eunuch, and said with a smile.

"There is Father-in-law Lao who has traveled all the way, this is a little bit of General Yan's heart, and I hope that my father-in-law will laugh at it."

The white eunuch smiled cutely, and did not shirk it, and took the red seal into his arms: "Our family is cheeky." ”

…………

After receiving the red envelope, the white eunuch did not stay in the Yan Mansion for long, and after politely refusing the Yan family's banquet, he left Qingyuan with a team of forbidden troops.

This is also the rule of the Northern Jin Dynasty's internal servants, after the decree can not stay for a long time, but immediately return to the palace to resume life.

In fact, if he hadn't had to explain the meaning of Emperor Liyang to the Yan family and the officials of Qingyuan just now, Eunuch Bai would have left after giving Huang Wei'er a message.

After the white eunuch left, Zhan Yong and the others didn't stay long, although they wanted to talk to the general's mansion for a while, but the limelight was too strong at the moment, and it was really inconvenient to stay in the Yan Mansion for a long time, so they could only endure the pain and leave first.

Anyway, Yan's Mansion is in Qingyuan, and it will be a long time to come.........

After the two groups of people left the Yan Mansion one after another, the front yard of the Yan Mansion finally quieted down, Yan Changlin glanced at Xu Yu, snorted lightly, and left with his hands behind his back.

Yan Xiong stuck out his tongue at his father's back, turned back to Xu Yu and said, "Brother Zijun, don't care, my father is that kind of person, just now he wanted to praise his good nephew in front of the angels, but when he saw that you were here, he didn't dare to speak, and he was holding his breath in his heart." ”

Xu Yu laughed when he heard this, and couldn't help frowning and said: "The old lady's move is really inappropriate, not to mention that the white father-in-law is an angel servant, and the general's mansion should not have too much interaction with him.

Third master, you have time to persuade the old lady more, let him not be too exalted Yan Jiang, show off in the forest, if you don't know how to summon right and wrong. ”

Yan Xiong pouted: "I can't persuade him, in his old man's heart, even the second brother has to be behind Yan Jiang, if I dare not let him support his precious nephew, the old man can scold me to death." ”

Xu Yu shook his head, sighed, and said nothing more.

Since Yan Kui has continued to make meritorious contributions on the front line, his official position has risen higher and higher, and the status of the Yan family in Tong'an Mansion has also continued to rise.

However, in the past two months, he has become a Qilin genius by a group of people, and even Xu Yu, who is in Qingyuan, has heard of his reputation.

…………

This made Xu Yu laugh and couldn't help but be vigilant, he didn't have dealings with Yan Jiang, and he knew that this cousin Yan Kui had some talent under his hands, but it would not reach the point of being famous and peaceful.

Qilin talent, even he doesn't dare to take this nickname.

Yan Jiang is a white body, he has no fame, and he has not made a great achievement, and he has not even done a number of outstanding deeds, how can He De be sought after here.

After Xu Yu learned of this, he immediately came to Yan's Mansion to find Yan Changlin and persuaded him to call Yan Jiang Qingyuan, temporarily avoid the limelight, keep a low profile for a while, and save himself from being calculated.

As a result, Xu Yu's kindness was regarded by Yan Changlin as his jealousy that Yan Jiang was now famous, so he came out to suppress it, and he didn't know the hearts of good people, which made Xu Yu angry enough to not care about this matter anymore.

On Yan Changlin's side, after scolding Xu Yu, not only did he not control Yan Jiang, but he personally went to Fucheng, and after experiencing the popularity of Yan Jiang, he was very happy, and praised his nephew's talent everywhere.

The old man is Yan Kui's father, and with Yan Kui's great contribution on the front line, who in the entire Tong'an Mansion does not sell Yan Changlin two points of face, he shouts for Yan Jiang so much.

The reputation of the Qilin genius has become even louder, and it is even faintly on a par with Yan Kui, whose reputation is growing............

…………

Looking at Xu Yu who sighed, Yan Xiong patted him on the shoulder and smiled indifferently: "Don't worry about Brother Zijun, that kid from Yan Jiang can't turn the sky, doesn't Second Brother know, he will send someone to arrange it properly, and it will be fine." ”

"I hope so." Xu Yu replied.

Yan Xiong was not happy to talk about Yan Jiang, he glanced around, and quietly pulled Xu Yu: "How many silver taels did you give to that white father-in-law just now, I seemed to have a look at him when he left, and I was very happy." ”

"Can you not be happy?"

Referring to the red envelope sent out, a trace of distress flashed on Xu Yu's face: "That's a whole thousand taels of silver, I am now looking for the silver ticket that the sixth son wants, fortunately, the general had expected this matter before, and specially wrote a letter to approve the money, otherwise where would I go to find so much silver." ”

"Tsk, second brother, this is a bloody investment."

Yan Xiong was also frightened by this amount, you must know that he is now in charge of the daily purchase of the Yan Mansion, and the silver he can dispose of every month is only a few dozen taels, and he will ask for another from the Chen family when he runs out or under special circumstances.

One thousand taels of silver.

Saving a little flower is almost enough for Yanfu's daily purchase for two years.........

"Okay, don't feel distressed."

Seeing that Yan Xiong's face was full of confusion because of the thousand taels of silver he gave away, Xu Yu smiled and comforted.

"That Bai Gonggong is close to the Son of Heaven, he can't afford to offend, I don't ask him to say a few good words for us, as long as he doesn't stumble on the general, this thousand taels will be worth it."

Yan Xiong nodded as if he didn't understand, as if he understood something.

Being a eunuch is really earning money............
