Chapter 38: Cao Huachun's pride
readx;??? Cao Huachun!
The eunuch surnamed Cao is an old eunuch, and he still has an intersection with himself?
Except for Cao Huachun, Zhu Changyuan couldn't think of a second person. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This old gelding, destroying Lao Tzu's warm good deeds!
He cursed in his mouth, opened the door and went out, and asked, "Where are the people?" ”
Po Yu led Zhu Changyuan downstairs and said, "Are you waiting outside the gate?" ”
When Cao Huachun came, he originally wanted to go directly into the courtyard and wait, and his dignified eunuch Bingbi, no matter which princes and nobles' mansions he entered, it was impossible to wait outside the door.
However, these two subordinates of Zhu Changyuan said that they would not let him enter the door at all, and they had to report it first before letting them in.
Although Cao Huachun was bored in his heart, he would not be without this patience, and after waiting for a while, he saw Zhu Changyuan running out of the yard in a hurry, laughing as he ran, and apologized to Cao Huachun: "Ouch, it turns out that Father-in-law Cao has arrived, wait for a long time, please inside." ”
Although the large courtyard is not as big as Xu Ermo or Zhang Luan's house, there is also a special hall for receiving guests, Zhu Changyuan invited Cao Huachun and the three eunuchs who followed him to the hall, made a pot of hot tea, and said: "Let Cao Gong wait for a long time, it is all the dereliction of duty of the lower officials, I will make amends to your old man." ”
I couldn't figure out what this old eunuch was doing, but Zhu Changyuan didn't dare to offend. If nothing else is said, it shows that these eunuchs at the end, whether it is Wei Zhongxian, Wang Chengen or the Cao Huachun in front of them, are not simple and easy to match. The skills and talents of these people are not in the slightest under those elders in the inner palace.
In many cases, eunuchs and cabinets are on an equal footing.
"Huh!" Cao Huachun smiled, stretched out his chubby white hand, pinched it into an orchid and pointed at him a few times, and said, "Dongjiang has been away for a few months, can Master Zhu get used to coming to Beijing?" ”
Zhu Changyuan said: "Thanks to the blessing of the adult, I am still used to it." In fact, we are all military foot soldiers, and we are used to eating and sleeping in the open, so we are used to it everywhere! ”
"I don't know if Gong Cao came to the hospital in person, what advice do you have?"
"Lord Zhu is polite. Where do we have any advice? Cao Huachun chuckled. Laughing made Zhu Changyuan's scalp tingle. After laughing, he pulled the male duck and said, "Alas, every morning, I get up and see the mirror that Master Zhu gave to our family." My heart is full of comfort. ”
"You don't know." Cao Huachun said and said, narrowing the distance between him and Zhu Changyuan. Said: "Our family is looking for a master craftsman in Beijing, and we have redecorated it with gold edging and Hetian Baoyu. That's a lot of money. Tsk, beautiful. It is beautiful, and it is more smooth and clear than the mirror that John Tang gave to His Majesty back then. ”
Zhu Changyuan shuddered when he heard this. Heart Dao Nyima, don't I just give you a broken mirror? As for this exaggeration, it is also bordered by gold and jade. I bought a watch last year.
Cao Huachun's mouth closed one by one, revealing yellowish teeth, mixed with this unpleasant stench, and the smoked Zhu Changyuan had a feeling of dying.
"Huh." Zhu Changyuan took the lead and opened the distance between him and Cao Huachun, took the time to take a few breaths of fresh air, and said: "Cao Gong, Xiaguan has recently collected a few new gadgets here, which are not worth much, wait for me to get them for Cao Gong to see." ”
Cao Huachun was overjoyed and angry, but the three eunuchs who followed him did not have this kind of cultivation, and after listening to Zhu Changyuan say a few worthless things, they all showed disdain.
One of them even said: "Lord Zhu, you don't need to take out worthless things, right?" ”
It is known that in today's Beijing Division, Cao Huachun is a eunuch with a high position and power, and sometimes even Wen Tiren, the boss of the cabinet, has to call him "Cao Gong" when he sees him. Even today, when Cao Huachun is mentioned in front of outsiders, he must be called "my family".
Therefore, no matter what Cao Huachun goes to any palace or mansion, who is not trying his best to stammer. As for these officials in the Ming Dynasty, they shouted one by one in front of them that the eunuch party would bring disaster to the country and the people, but who dared to really offend Cao Huachun behind them?
Needless to say, any gift is priceless. This is also the reason why Cao Huachun was able to easily find someone to decorate the mirror that Zhu Changyuan gave him with gold and jade.
"Noisy, talkative!" Cao Huachun scolded twice, smiled at Zhu Changyuan, and said: "Lord Zhu is smiling, these minions are still too young, they look down on people, and they don't know the prestige of the general." ”
Zhu Changyuan shook his head and smiled to show that he didn't mind, got up from his seat, and said, "Gong Cao, wait a minute, the next official will come when he goes." "The reason why it is called a lower official is not that Zhu Changyuan lowered his price, but that Cao Huachun himself is an official rank of the fourth grade.
In less than two minutes, Zhu Changyuan came back from outside, put a few things on the table with a few things in his hand, and said, "I heard that before the lower officials entered the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Cao Gong had already sent someone to greet him in advance. I learned recently that I didn't have time to thank Cao Gong for a special trip. ”
The people in the Ministry of Industry were talking about Zhu Changyuan's affair with the eunuch behind his back, and after a long time, he naturally heard the rumors.
"Hmph." Cao Huachun said: "Those guys who claim to be clear must have said a lot of bad things about our family behind their backs." While speaking, his eyes kept looking at the things that Zhu Changyuan put on the table, picked up an object and played with it for a while, but he didn't see what it was for, but he was very interested in the two pairs of tall glasses on the table.
"Oops." Cao Huachun took out the glass and rubbed it back, and couldn't put it down.
"Dingding!" With a flick of his finger, the glass made a crisp sound, "This jade cup is really amazing, haha, our family has been in the palace for decades in vain, and we haven't found that there is such a crystal clear treasure in the world?" ”
"What's even more commendable is that it's still a pair, exactly the same, master, this is definitely the master's handiwork!" Cao Huachun couldn't put it down and was amazed. mistakenly thought that the two glass goblets given to him by Zhu Changyuan were made of jade.
Zhu Changyuan naturally wouldn't be stupid and break it himself.
The eunuch next to him, who had satirized Zhu Changyuan before, was also shocked by this crystal clear cup.
"Ding..."
Cao Huachun flicked his fingers a few more times, enjoying hearing this sound.
Zhu Changyuan waved his hand, pretending to be distressed and said, "Oh, Gong Cao, be merciful, the only drawback of this cup is that it is too crispy, and I can't help but toss." ”
"Hehehe." Cao Huachun smiled from ear to ear, put the cup away carefully, and the orchid pointed at Zhu Changyuan, and said: "Chang Yuan, Chang Yuan, our family can't refuse this little bit of your heart, if you have a heart, it won't be in vain for our family to love you." ”
Zhu Changyuan listened to Cao Huachun's words, and only felt goosebumps on his body, you fifty-year-old old gelding still hurt me so much... I bought a watch last year.
Well, even if you're twenty ...
What am I thinking?
Zhu Changyuan took the thing that Cao Huachun had played with for a while and didn't understand anything in his hand, and said: "This item doesn't have a big effect, it's just that it is convenient to give it to Cao Gong together." ”
"Woohoo." Twice, a flame burst out of it, which is the cheapest lighter in modern society.
"Oops." Although Cao Huachun usually doesn't have to be ready to catch fire all the time, he can't help but be curious.
Now the society of the Ming Dynasty uses flint to make fire, who has ever used a lighter, and no one has ever seen it.
That's why Cao Huachun is so curious.
"That's good. Let's try it. Cao Huachun took the lighter from Zhu Changyuan's hand, tried it a few times and learned it, it was easy to make a fire, and the old chrysanthemum suddenly opened it and said, "Where did this thing come from?" Is there a name? ”
Zhu Changyuan thought for a while and said: "This fire-making thing is said to have been handed down from a foreigner, I don't know what its name is, a pair of jade cups (in fact, it is a tall glass) was accidentally obtained by a lower official from a merchant in Nanyang. ”
"As for this, it also came from the foreigners." Zhu Changyuan took out the last item from the table and handed it to Cao Huachun, saying, "This is a toothbrush, this is a toothpaste, which is used to clean your teeth after eating or getting up." ”
Zhu Changyuan originally only planned to give Cao Huachun a pair of goblets and a lighter, but after thinking about it temporarily, he felt that this thing was what Cao Huachun needed the most, so he took the toothbrush he had used for an unknown number of days and put it on the table.
There is also toothpaste, which is also halfway used.
Where can Cao Huachun tell if this toothbrush has been used, besides, who knows if the toothbrush used by others can no longer be used?
He put away all the gifts with a smile, sighed for no reason, and said: "Zhu Changyuan, Zhu Changyuan, to be honest, when I get to the position of our family, there are very few things and people that can make me happy!" ”
Cao Huachun didn't continue, but Zhu Changyuan could hear that he meant not including himself.
"Don't worry, our family will naturally not accept your things in vain, if you encounter any difficulties that are difficult to solve in the future, just come to our family, as long as our family can solve it, we will never refuse."
Zhu Changyuan was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down to thank him.
Although it is a little shameful, but the power of this product in the palace is monstrous, in case one day it is impossible to say that it can really be used by others, take 10,000 steps back, even if it is not used, why not Nima give him a lighter, two goblets and a second-hand toothbrush and half a tube of toothpaste? It's just a hundred and ten yuan thing, and I don't feel sorry if I lose it.
This business is really awesome.
Thinking of this, Zhu Changyuan's heart rose, and secretly said that in the past, I am afraid that not many people have made a big profit in my business, right?
Of course, this excludes trading without capital.
As for worrying that he would be seen as a eunuch by those clear streams, it's really a joke. Some time ago, Cao Huachun had already come forward to speak for himself, those people wanted to slander themselves, but they couldn't escape, so it was better to simply be chic to the end!
Didn't you say that Lao Tzu was a eunuch, Lao Tzu will show you, oh, bah, bah, Lao Tzu will show you.
"We're here this time, and I'll inform you about something." Cao Huachun stood up, straightened up, and said: "Originally, the queen mother was handed over to the children below to come over to spread the decree, and our family happened to come over, so we took this job down, it seems that I have a fate with these objects!"
