Fang Yuan couldn't think of a reason after thinking for a while, he hesitantly approached the door of the room, and asked through the wooden door, "Old man, your illness is better!" ”

The old man's voice sounded, "Boy, the medicine you gave is really magical, the cough is much better, and the throat doesn't hurt anymore." ”

Fang Yuan was hesitating whether to ask for money, and the old man said, "This little flag Zhang Hang is a bastard, and Jinyiwei's reputation is stinky by these people, no wonder everyone scolds eagle dogs and lackeys behind their backs!" ”

He scolded hatefully, relieved himself and said, "Boy, your name is Fang Yuan, right?" ”

Fang Yuan responded honestly, "Yes." ”

The old man asked again, "Do you want to keep this courtyard?" ”

Fang Yuan nodded and said, "This is the ancestral property of my parents, and I can't lose it." ”

"I don't like to owe favors, old man, you save my life this time, and I will return you a gift."

The old man was silent when he said this, and he didn't know what he was tossing, Fang Yuan's hope of keeping the courtyard was all on the old man, and he stood at the door respectfully, and did not urge.

After half an hour, the wooden door opened, and the old man was still hiding behind the door, handing out a jade pendant, and handing a letter to Fang Yuan, "Boy, you go to the Bei'anmen Gate of the Imperial City and hand it over to the little eunuch on duty, and ask him to send it to the eunuch Fang Zhenghua." ”

Fang Yuan looked at the two things, the jade pendant was finely made, and it was worth a lot of money at a glance; The letter is sealed, and the contents cannot be seen, and the texture is very precious.

He was stunned and asked, "What about after handing it over?" ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

The old man coughed and said, "Just wait for news!" ”

Fang Yuan received the old man's two tokens, but he didn't know if it would work, and the matter of the courtyard could not be delayed, so he immediately set off to the gate of the imperial city.

Jintaifang is very close to Bei'anmen, Fang Yuan trotted all the way, and arrived at Bei'anmen in less than a quarter of an hour, already out of breath.

Fang Yuan found the little eunuch on duty, handed over the old man's jade pendant and letters, and repeatedly emphasized that he would personally deliver them to Fang Zhenghua.

The little eunuch was impatient, but when he saw that this jade pendant was a thing in the palace, he named and named the eunuch who was going to be handed over to the eunuch who was favored by the celebrant Fang Zhenghua, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he could only accept it into the palace to report.

Fang Yuan waited at the gate of Bei'an for half an hour, and the little eunuch finally came out, bringing Fang Zhenghua's reply, and asked Fang Yuan to go back and wait for the news first.

Fang Yuan didn't know if Fang Zhenghua was perfunctory, this trip may be in vain, so he could only go back to the courtyard and tell the old man Fang Zhenghua's reply.

In the early morning of the next day, Fang Yuan was still asleep, when he was woken up by a noise, and when he walked to the door of the room, he saw that a middle-aged man dressed as a palace eunuch had arrived at the courtyard, followed by two low-level little eunuchs wearing soap clothes.

The middle-aged man was about forty years old, and when he arrived in the courtyard, Chong Fangyuan asked, "Hey, boy, where is Gonggong Cao?" ”

"Who is Gonggong Cao? As soon as I heard that my father-in-law was a eunuch in the palace, I found my house with the eunuch in the palace? ”

Fang Yuan was secretly wondering, and there was a shrill voice from the old man's room, "Xiao Fangzi, I'm here, I thought you didn't recognize the old man." ”

The middle-aged eunuch is called 'Xiao Fangzi', Fang Yuan came back to his senses, this middle-aged eunuch is the founder of the celebrant eunuch.

Fang Zhenghua listened to the voice of 'Grandpa Cao', hurried to the door of the room, and was about to push the door in, but was stopped by 'Grandpa Cao', the wooden door opened a small crack, revealing an old but white face, "Xiao Fangzi, I am seriously ill, just talk through the door!" ”

Fang Zhenghua said respectfully, "Ah Weng, you have been sick and on leave since a few years ago, Your Majesty is worried about you, why don't you go to see Your Majesty when you return to the capital, and hide...... Staying in this little quadrangle? ”

Gonggong Cao sighed and said, "Xiao Fangzi, I just left the palace when I had tuberculosis, and a sick seedling and medicine jar returned to the capital for treatment, why bother to make trouble, and how dare I offend Tianyan again?" Alas! This small courtyard house is good, from Bei'anmen, Wanquantang is only a quarter of an hour's foot. ”

Only then did Fang Yuan know that this Gonggong Cao was willing to spend a high price on rent, that is, the courtyard of Jintaifang was very close to the Bei'an Gate at the north gate of the palace, as well as Wanquantang, the most famous medicine hall in the capital.

Fang Zhenghua said solemnly, "Ah Weng is here to live and recuperate, I often come to visit, the grace of the promotion back then, I am in mind, I don't know if I am summoned this time, how can I help?" ”

Father-in-law Cao said, "I can't recuperate!" A few brocade guards want to buy and sell and drive me, an old man, out of the house. ”

Fang Zhenghua knew the intention of Gonggong Cao to suddenly summon him, and said in a deep voice, "Even Ah Weng dares to offend, it's just a dog's eye and I don't know anyone, I'll go to Commander Luo immediately to talk about it." ”

Gonggong Cao sighed and said, "Xiao Fangzi, do you want to make a storm in the city, do you know my Cao Huachun's downfall now?" ”

"It turns out that Father-in-law Cao is Cao Huachun?"

Fang Yuan was really taken aback at this time, Cao Huachun was the great eunuch during the Chongzhen period, and he had returned to his hometown a few years ago, but he was framed by a group of Lin Dang people and dedicated the city gate when the capital city was broken, but he didn't expect him to secretly treat his illness in the capital, and even lived in his own courtyard.

Fang Zhenghua was stunned and asked, "What is Ah Weng's idea?" ”

Cao Huachun coughed and said, "Xiao Fangzi, this kid is also surnamed Fang, called Fang Yuan, you have no children and no daughters, it is better to accept him as a righteous son and find him an errand, and Jinyiwei will not dare to come to collect the house." ”

Now that Cao Huachun opened his mouth, Fang Zhenghua was inconvenient to refuse out of repaying his gratitude, and looked at Fang Yuan, his eyebrows were clear, and his appearance was extremely pleasing, "You are also surnamed Fang?" Speaking of which, we are still our own family, will you be my righteous son? ”

The celebrant eunuch is a celebrity around Chongzhen, and it is too late for Fang Yuan to be happy to be able to connect with the celebrity in the palace, but the only thing he is worried about is that he will not be arrested as a eunuch if he follows the eunuch in the palace!

Fang Yuan reluctantly squeezed out a smile and respectfully agreed, "Manager Fang is willing to be respectful, and the small one will be as happy as he is." ”

Fang Zhenghua was very satisfied with his humble and arrogant response, and was even more complimented by him as the head of the ceremonial supervisor, and smiled happily, "Ah Weng Guo is resourceful and thoughtful, I don't know what errand to arrange for him?" The three major battalions, the Jinyi Guard, or the one who entered the palace and entered the ceremonial supervisor? ”

Cao Huachun coughed and said, "The three battalions are a military and political department, and our people in the inner court cannot interfere; This kid is the only son in the family, and he has no descendants, so he probably won't join the celebrant eunuch. I look at Jinyiwei very well, arrange a position of general banner, and assign the small banner Zhang Hang and the school captain Qin Zhan to his subordinates. ”

Fang Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, this Cao Huachun was really poisonous, and his methods were ruthless, and he arranged to transfer Fang Yuan to Zhang Hang's direct superior, which quietly gave Fang Yuan a chance to take revenge.

Jinyiwei Zongqi is a Jinyiwei middle- and lower-level official position, Fang Zhenghua is not a big deal, just say hello to Luo Yangxing, one can return the favor promoted by Cao Huachun back then, the second is also happy to accept a righteous son, and the third is to bury a chess piece in Jinyiwei, which can also enhance the help in the future, so he responded happily, "Since Ah Weng explained, I will do it." ”

Cao Huachun did not forget to add, "Xiao Fangzi, Jinyiwei will come to collect the house in two days, but you have to do it as soon as possible!" ”

Fang Zhenghua hurriedly said, "Please also ask Ah Weng to be relieved, tomorrow the appointment letter of Jinyiwei will be issued to Fang Yuan, and Ah Weng will not be able to delay his recuperation." ”

"Fang Yuan, from now on, you will be my righteous son, and you will report to me in case of trouble."

Fang Zhenghua explained some of Fang Yuan's words, and then resigned with Cao Huachun.

After the group left, Fang Yuan was like a world away, everything that happened before was like a dream, and he couldn't take a step after staying where he was for a long time.

At the same time as him, there was also a seventh sister-in-law.

After a long time, Fang Yuan came back to his senses, and he had to thank Cao Huachun, a great benefactor, and hurriedly instructed the seventh sister-in-law to take more care of Cao Huachun's diet and daily life from today on.

When the seventh sister-in-law went in a daze, Fang Yuan walked slowly to the room and said respectfully, "Gonggong Cao, do you still want to stay in the courtyard?" ”

Cao Huachun's cold voice came, "Boy, you crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and you want to drive me away so soon?" ”

Fang Yuan was misunderstood by him, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, Gonggong Cao can live as long as he wants." ”

Cao Huachun's tone also softened slightly, "I'm no longer the father-in-law in the palace, I'll still call me Ah Weng in the future, your medicine is very effective, buy some more!" ”

Fang Yuan had already spent all his savings after buying two courses of medicine last time, and he was really shy in his pocket, so he said hesitantly, "I'm not afraid of Ah Weng laughing, the medicine of the Francois is sold at a sky-high price, and I have been bankrupt last time I bought the medicine, and I can't afford it anymore." ”

Cao Huachun smiled and said, "You kid is quite kind, I said earlier, as long as you can cure the disease, the matter of gold and silver is not a matter, just open your mouth as much as you need." ”

Fang Yuan asked Cao Huachun for one hundred taels of silver, and went to the Taobao system to buy three courses of medicine and gave it to Cao Huachun.

At noon the next day, the appointment letter of the general banner of Jinyiwei was issued to Fang Yuan's courtyard, ordering him to go to the Jinyi Weiwei office in Beizhen Fusi within five days.

A few days ago, he was still a gangster who was not doing his job, and in a blink of an eye, he became a Jinyiwei with an iron rice bowl, Fang Yuan was overjoyed with the letter of appointment, but before he went to Jinyiwei to take up his post, there was still something to do, that is, he kicked him twice, slapped him twice, and beat his seventh sister-in-law, and wanted to arrest him to Zhang Hang, the Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi who wanted to arrest him to the edict and ask for guilt.

This is the good and the good and the evil are rewarded, it is not that the time has not yet come for not retribution, now is the time for revenge!
