Seeing this Wednesday Liang, Li Xiu's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately walked over and squatted beside him and asked, "I heard that you worked in the clean room in the palace before?" ”

Wednesday Liang didn't react at first, probably because no one took the initiative to talk to him for a long time, so after Li Xiu finished talking to him, Wednesday Liang couldn't believe that he was talking to himself, and finally turned his head to look around to make sure that there was no other person around, and Li Xiu kept smiling at him, Wednesday Liang was startled, and hurriedly jumped up and saluted: "Slave maid...... No, the villain meets Master Li! ”

Seeing that Wednesday Liang was so excited that even the self-proclaimed in the palace came out, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile helplessly, and immediately signaled him to continue squatting, don't be too excited, which made Wednesday Liang hesitate for a moment, and finally squatted down again according to the words, but he was a little farther away from Li Xiu, and his eyes were full of apprehension.

"Wednesday Liang, I heard that you have worked in the clean room before, do you know how to castrate?" Li Xiu suddenly smiled at this time, and asked a eunuch if he understood castration, which was a bit hurtful in itself, but Li Xiu had his own plans, so he couldn't take care of Wednesday Liang's mood for the time being, and this matter might not be a good thing for him.

"Yes, I did it myself, and I wasn't transferred out of the clean room until three years ago." I saw Wednesday Liang hesitate for a moment, and then said with a complicated face, life in the palace has always been the last thing he wants to mention, if someone else asks, he may not want to say more, but now he feels that the young Master Li in front of him does not seem to have malicious intentions, and it is rare to take the initiative to talk to him, so he naturally cherishes it very much.

"That's good!" Li Xiu nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, thought for a while and asked again, "How old are you this year, and when did you enter the palace?" ”

"I ...... I just turned forty this year, I entered the palace in the Sui period, I was only ten years old at the time, and then I have been living in the palace until His Majesty established the country, and three years ago I was transferred out of the clean room to serve the nobles in the palace, and I was sent to the princess's mansion some time ago. Wednesday Liang replied very honestly, he was only forty this year, but he looked like he was nearly fifty years old, but this was not surprising, eunuchs were already aging faster than ordinary people.

Li Xiu thought about it when he heard Wednesday Liang's words, and then asked a little strangely: "Since you have lived in the palace for thirty years, why don't you want to go back to the palace, I heard that the princess doesn't like you, so she wants to send you back to the palace, and the other chamberlains are gone, but you are the only one who cries and shouts to stay, why is this?" ”

Li Xiu actually wanted to ask this question for a long time, it is said that a eunuch who has lived in the palace since he was a child, knows nothing about the outside world, and has no life skills, it can be said that it is difficult for him to live out of the palace, and he has to face the strange eyes of others, so according to common sense, Zhou Liang should be more willing to go back to the palace to live, after all, it is the environment he is familiar with.

"I ...... I ......" Faced with Li Xiu's question, Wednesday Liang seemed to be spitting up, as if there was something unspeakable, and after a while, I saw him grit his teeth and say, "The palace is dangerous, it's really not a good place, villain...... The villain really doesn't want to go back to the palace! ”

Wednesday Liang talked about the reason why he was reluctant to return to the palace, and only used the sentence "dangerous in the palace", although it was only four words, but when he spoke, his body trembled slightly, as if he remembered something frightening.

And Li Xiu was silent when he heard this, through some historical materials of later generations, he also knew some dark scenes hidden in the ancient palace, especially for the eunuchs at the lowest level in the palace, sometimes they may just not say a word right, and if they don't do a good job, it will lead to death, and the battle within the eunuchs is even more cruel, and countless eunuchs die silently every year, and there is not even a reason for death.

Eunuchs often enter the palace when they are young, and they grow up in the cruel and distorted environment in the palace since childhood, coupled with physical defects, so that many eunuchs are very distorted, if this kind of person is ********, he will often do a lot of angry things, such as those big eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, of course, it is not excluded that there are good people among the eunuchs, but this kind of people are very rare.

"I understand, since you don't want to go back to the palace when you die, you must have been tired of the life of intrigue in the palace, I think you don't seem to be accepted by people outside, but you don't have to worry too much, I have a way to improve your current situation, but I don't know if you are willing to do it?" Li Xiu suddenly said at this time, he took the initiative to talk to Zhou Liang not only to see him pitiful, but also to have his own purpose.

"Really...... It's true? Mr. Li, you ...... You won't lie to me, will you? Hearing that Li Xiu was willing to help him, Wednesday Liang immediately said with a look of disbelief, since he left the palace, he has endured the white eyes and bullying of others, Li Xiu is still the first person to say that he wants to help him, in addition, he also knows a little about Li Xiu's identity, and even Her Royal Highness the princess regards him as a guest, so in his opinion, Li Xiu is also high, and he is not a person of the same world at all.

"Hehe, you can get out of the palace decisively, you must also be a knowledgeable person, do you think it is necessary to lie to you with my identity?" Li Xiu said with a light smile, although he had other ways to explain, but using the reason of the identity gap to explain it was more convincing for people like Zhou Liang.

Sure enough, Wednesday Liang immediately understood when he heard Li Xiu's words, to say something unkind, as Li Xiu, he usually didn't have to look at him at all, and there was no reason to lie to him, so after Wednesday Liang reacted, he suddenly knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and saluted Li Xiu with an excited face: "Thank you, master, as long as the master can help me, the villain is willing to do anything!" ”

The people around were also taken aback by Wednesday Liang's actions, and they were all very surprised at this time, but because Li Xiu was there, they didn't come forward to ask. At this time, Li Xiu stretched out his hand to help Zhou Liang up and said: "You don't have to be polite, I just give you a chance to be a new person, whether you can do a good job depends on whether you work hard!" ”

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! Wednesday Liang was already excited and didn't know how to thank him, so he could only keep thanking him, although he didn't know how Li Xiu could help him, but with Li Xiu's kind attitude towards him, he had already regarded Li Xiu as his great benefactor.

At that moment, Li Xiu comforted Zhou Liang a few more words, but did not say how to help him, just asked him to go to Li Zhuangzi tomorrow, out of trust in Li Xiu, Zhou Liang did not ask more, but nodded tearfully, and after Li Xiu left, he continued to squat down and work.

"Li Gongzi, how can you talk to someone like Wednesday Liang, isn't this a loss of your identity?" Li Xiu didn't take a few steps, and Steward Qiao stepped forward to say that he also had great respect for Li Xiu, and naturally he didn't want Li Xiu and a eunuch like Wednesday Liang to get too close, after all, this kind of thing is not good to say.

"Qiao is in charge of things, I'm just a little busy and want to ask Wednesday Liang for help, and I don't lose my identity." Li Xiu snorted and said, he doesn't have such a serious class concept.

"Wednesday Liang doesn't understand anything, he can't carry his shoulders and can't lift his hands, and his strength is smaller than that of a woman, Childe, what are you looking for him to help you with?" Steward Qiao asked with a puzzled face when he heard this.

"Haha, everyone has their own unique talents, the key depends on whether you can find an opportunity to play your talents, for example, Qiao is in charge of your carpenter's exquisite skills, building a house and making furniture is incomparable, but if you are asked to farm and serve the crops, I am afraid it is not as good as the tenant on my farm." Li Xiu smiled again at this time, I am born to be useful, it depends on whether you find a suitable position for yourself.

"I understand Childe's words, but what is the use of a useless waste person like Wednesday Liang?" Steward Qiao asked, still with a skeptical expression.

"As long as you don't give up on yourself, there are no waste people in this world, if Steward Qiao doesn't believe it, how about we make a small bet?" Li Xiu laughed again.

"Bet? What to bet on? Steward Qiao was also quite interested when he heard this, and he also knew that although Li Xiu's identity was extraordinary, he didn't have much of a fight, so he also liked to chat with Li Xiu very much.

"I have already told Zhou Liang just now, let him go to the Li family Zhuangzi tomorrow to do a little favor, if Steward Qiao is still suspicious, it is better to go with him tomorrow, and then see how Zhou Liang helps me, if he really helps me, then Steward Qiao will lose, take care of Qiao Sanliang more in the future, don't let people bully him like this again?" Li Xiu smiled and said, he naturally doesn't mind doing more good deeds.

"Good! If you lose, Childe, you have to help my newborn grandson choose a good name, you are a scholar, and the name you choose must be better than ours! Steward Qiao said immediately, and also put forward his own requirements.

"No problem!" Li Xiu didn't want to think about it when he heard this, so he agreed, although he won, but it was also a gesture to help Qiao's grandson choose a name, and it would definitely sound better than Princess Pingyang.

"By the way, I almost forgot a big thing!" At this moment, I suddenly saw Steward Qiao pat his head, and then spoke again, "When the little old man came out today, he happened to meet Ma Ye going out with a fishing rod, and he probably went fishing again, he saw me and asked me to help him bring you a message, please go fishing together tomorrow afternoon!" ”

"No problem, I'll be there tomorrow!" Li Xiu also immediately smiled when he heard this, last time he made a bet with Ma Ye to win his jade-inlaid fishing rod, and he hasn't given it to himself yet, and it is estimated that Ma Ye will also take the opportunity to fish tomorrow to give the fishing rod to himself.

But at this moment, I saw that Steward Qiao suddenly smiled and said again: "In addition, Ma Ye also said that he will invite other people tomorrow, and he is also an acquaintance of Gongzi, so please bring some good wine and good food to Gongzi!" ”
