Chapter 32: The Sleep of the Stars (2nd Watch)
An Dehai, the smash hit eunuch in the future, is now like an angry little daughter-in-law, who can only stand obediently at the door of the jewelry store and wait.
Guan Zhuofan shook his head, and said in his heart that this is really incredible. He pretended to be wandering around, strolling around the front of the shops, only sneaking at An Dehai out of the corner of his eye, until he saw him take a small package and walk towards the royal road at the other end of Yujing Street, and then followed, looking for an opportunity to "start".
The corner from Yujing Street to Yudao was a place where no one was around, Guan Zhuofan walked a few steps, caught up with An Dehai, and patted him on the back of the shoulder. An Dehai was startled, turned around, and looked at Guan Zhuofan in disbelief: "What are you doing?" β
Guan Zhuofan really put it off the shelf, and he hit a thousand children casually. Those who become big things are not informal, Guan Zhuofan never gets entangled in these things, he has always been very decisive, and he will never let go of fleeting opportunities.
"Second Master An, has you always been good?" He asked affectionately.
"Oh-good." An Dehai's face soothed, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he changed to a slightly arrogant expression, "Which family's long-term follower are you?" β
"Under the surname Guan, he is the battalion commander of the Infantry Yamen West Battalion Horse Team," Guan Zhuofan brought out a little flattering smile on his face, "I have always admired the name of Second Master An, and I don't want to meet you here today." β
The one who saluted himself just now was actually a six-rank military attachΓ©! An Dehai became nervous, and the expression on his face turned into an embarrassed smile. The eunuchs in the palace, although they are different from the officials outside, cannot be compared by grade alone, but in any case, their rank is only eight grades, and it is unreasonable to receive this courtesy.
Guan Zhuofan saw the changes in the expression on his face in just a while, and secretly sighed in his heart: No wonder he will be popular in the future, and at a young age, he has practiced the skills of a chameleon.
"It turned out to be Brother Guan," An Dehai said apologetically, "You ...... It's so polite. β
"Nothing. Second Master An is a person who sees the head but not the tail of the dragon, and it must be a lot of fate to see you! Guan Zhuofan was full of words, and finally blushed a little when he said it, thinking, why didn't I realize that I still have this talent?
After all, Andhai is still young! Guan Zhuofan took a bite of "Second Master An", and finally dispelled the slightest vigilance in his heart. He is just an eight-grade eunuch, and he can manage a few little eunuchs in the Chuduo Palace, and when he leaves the Chuduo Palace, other people don't treat him very well. When I saw him in the palace, his name was "Xiao Anzi", and I didn't know anyone outside the palace. Now Guan Zhuofan praises him so much, which greatly satisfies his self-esteem, and he feels even more cordial to Guan Zhuofan.
"Brother Guan, how did you know about me?"
"I have a nephew who is not in the fifth suit, and he has done Sula in the capital palace," Guan Zhuofan said casually, "He told me a long time ago that Second Master An is young and capable, and he will definitely soar in the past two years." β
People who are eunuchs are often superstitious and like to please lip service the most. When An Dehai heard him say this, he was so happy that his face flew gold, and he said repeatedly: "Brother Guan, this can be borrowed from your auspicious words, if there is really such a day, I dare not forget your benefits...... By the way, what do you have to do with me? After speaking, I thought to myself, with the way I am today, I am afraid that I really can't help others.
Guan Zhuofan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's going to be the New Year, what else can I do!" Second Master An, can you still get by this year? He took his free hand and slipped a silver ticket through.
"How embarrassing is that...... Yo! An Dehai pretended to excuse himself, and suddenly saw that it was a big ticket with a leading ticket of four hundred taels, and he screamed, and only after a while did he eat: "Guan...... Brother Guan, are you here for me, or for my master? β
If it is given to him, the number is too great, and if it is given to the master, it is too bold.
An eight-grade eunuch, the monthly silver is only four taels, and his power at this time is not very large, only occasionally when he goes to the palace treasury to ask for things for the master, he falsely reports a little, but it is not worth a few pennies. Therefore, four hundred taels is a huge amount of money to him, so it is too large to believe that it is for himself.
In the palace, there are strict regulations for concubines. In addition to the fact that the mother's family can give things, if a foreign official dares to give something privately, it can be a capital offense. Therefore, if this money is intended to be given to the master, then Guan Zhuofan's courage is inevitably too great.
"Second Master An, what you said, I'm not a person who doesn't understand the rules." Guan Zhuofan clenched An Dehai's five fingers into a fist and pushed it over, "With this money, Second Master An will buy a pair of shoes to wear." Thinking in his heart, four hundred taels scared him like this, which shows that it is worth it, and in two years, four thousand taels may not be able to enter his eyes.
"This ......" An Dehai hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, flicked his horseshoe sleeves, and invited Guan Zhuofan to a very beautiful An, "Brother Guan, thank you for your reward!" β
Okay, it's flat, Guan Zhuofan thought to himself.
"Brother Guan, you are the commander of the infantry army, the commander of the Yamen West Camp Horse Team." An Dehai's memory is excellent, "I'll ask you about your name. β
It seems that he will come to something, and he is sincere. Guan Zhuofan said his name and words, An Dehai secretly remembered, and said sincerely: "Brother Guan, our master is still waiting for me to take things back, I don't dare to stay longer, and after the New Year, I will invite you to eat and drink." β
"Good, good, Ruifu is always here!" Guan Zhuofan said a New Year's greeting, and in his heart, he secretly added another sentence: "Ask your master for me." β

It's the New Year, it's really the New Year.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole Rehe was also noisy, except for the prohibition of artillery battles, in the various barracks, officers and soldiers were happily eating meat, drinking wine, and singing.
Guan Zhuofan, together with Daniel Zhang, Ding Shijie, Lao Mu, Yixan and other officers, made a fuss for one night, and went to each felt tent to drink a glass of wine with the soldiers and say a few auspicious words of blessing to each other.
When the people had had enough joy and drank enough wine, and fell asleep in the tent, Guan Zhuofan put on a big hat, walked out of his tent, walked through the dark and dark courtyard, greeted the sentry on duty softly, and came to a small mound in front of the camp, sitting and thinking about his thoughts.
It's been five months since the time travel, how are you doing?
At least he survived first, from the butcher's knife of the executioner, from the guns of the French, from the bayonets of the Indian soldiers, and from the imminent search of the British army.
He laid the foundation for himself, successfully entered the system of the imperial court, and laid the foundation for showing his talents in the future. In the Guan family's mansion, the beautiful and gentle Bai family is looking forward to his return.
And now, he finally touched the main line of history and came to Rehe as he wished, and everything that happens here will determine the future.
When he was buried as a nail in Rehe, he also laid Libin as a volt line in Shanghai. In his mind, he has a bigger plan for the future.
The fire of the Old Summer Palace has never been extinguished in his heart.
Blood debt and blood repayment.
Guan Zhuofan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked into the distance, and the barracks in the distance heard the sound of fighting. He looked up at the sky again, and for the first time was amazed to see how clear and bright the stars seemed so bright.
This is an age when you can see the stars.
Spanning a hundred years, it is just an insignificant moment for the eternal starry sky.
Under the same starry sky, in that shijie, what are his relatives and all other strangers doing now?
He felt a sour feeling in his heart, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
From the day he crossed over, he didn't allow himself to remember the past, he couldn't let himself fall into a state of schizophrenia.
But today......
Let me think about it for a while, just think about it for a while.
Guan Zhuofan buried his head in his knees, pulled up the thick coat, and wrapped himself up. Like an eagle, retracted from the eggshell of birth, like a beast, curled up back to the nest where it was born.
Let your heart rest and set off tomorrow.
