Chapter 9: Unclear Background
It's over, it's over! If the second son doesn't kill himself, then it's called unreasonable! An illegitimate son, if he is adopted as a son, he will die for everything! Heaven, earth, do you still let people live?
"Sister Cui'er, is the eldest master really good?" Tong Hang asked pitifully.
"The eldest lord is better than our lord's family." Xiao Cui smacked her lips and said. I remember that time, the eldest man smiled and said to himself that if Ba'er passed, he would also ask for himself.
"Does Madame know my origins?" Mrs. takes care of herself, probably because she knows her life experience, she shouldn't be the illegitimate son of the master, right?
"The time I brought you back, Madame also followed the master back from the capital. She didn't say anything about your background, and I don't know if she knows. ”
Tong Hang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I know where you came from." Cui'er blinked and said, "Why don't you ask me, Ba'er?" ”
"Do you know where I came from?" Tong Hang didn't know if this Niu Ba had told Xiaocui, so he had to say vaguely: "Is it?" Oh, I don't remember at all. ”
Xiao Cui stretched out her hand and touched Tong Hang's forehead, sighed and said, "My poor Ba'er, how did you become like this when you went out with the second son." ”
Tong Hang couldn't help but sweat profusely, he was more than twenty years old in his previous life, and he was twelve years old in this life, and he was more than thirty years old, and he was touched by this fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl and sighed in this tone, which was really unspeakably sad. The circles under my eyes were red, and I almost burst into tears.
"I don't know what happened to you, you must have suffered a lot. Sister, I'll tell you everything you told me before. Xiao Cui looked at Tong Hang's stunned demeanor and couldn't help but feel sad. Is this my life? used to be promised to Ding Song, but Ding Song was gone, and the old lady was kind and promised himself to Ba'er, but he had this.
Seeing Xiao Cui's tears raining down, Tong Hang couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly said: "Sister Cui'er, if you can't say it, don't say it." "How did he know the eighteen bends in Xiaocui's heart.
"There's nothing you can't say." Xiao Cui wiped her tears and forced a smile: "Look at my stupid appearance, let Ba'er worry." That's what you told me before. There's nothing I can't tell you. Ba'er, you are from the capital. You went out with your deaf uncle to visit relatives and were robbed. ”
"That means Uncle Deaf is my relative?" Tong Hang couldn't help but be discouraged, his only relative, the deaf uncle, was also killed, and it was very likely that this family was also responsible.
"Uncle Deaf is a descendant of your family." Xiaocui thought for a while and said, "It seems that I heard Sister Qiu'er say that the deaf uncle is a father-in-law." ”
Father-in-law? The next person is a father-in-law? Who are you? is worthy of his father-in-law, is he a prince or a prince?
"But my father-in-law only has the emperor's family, how can he follow you? I think Sister Qiu'er must not be talking about the father-in-law of the emperor's family, what kind of father-in-law is that. Cui'er has little knowledge, so she doesn't understand. ”
"Sister Cui'er, didn't you say ...... before" Tong Hang remembered that when she first woke up, Xiaocui had said to herself that there was something there for her.
"What did you say?" Xiao Cui couldn't help but be happy when she saw that Tong Hang was no longer stunned.
"You said I had something in your place." There's something in her, it seems that this cow is not stupid, this thing should be able to prove his identity to some extent.
"Yes, in my room, I'll get it, you wait for me." Xiao Cui hurriedly stood up and ran out.
Tong Hang sat for a while, and when he saw that the sun was setting outside, he was busy making rice and preparing to boil some millet porridge for the. Hearing the footsteps outside, I thought that this little cui was running very fast.
"Ba'er, the third lady called you over." Mu'er's voice came, and Tong Hang hurriedly agreed. "The third lady said, tell you to go over now."
"Okay, you go first, I'll start the fire, boil the porridge, and I'll come."
"Then hurry up." Mu'er muttered as she walked: "I really don't know whether to live or die, it's too late, you are good-looking, and you are still grinding." ”
The fire was lit, and the clay pot for boiling porridge was put on it. Tong Hang went back to the house and tucked the quilt for the, and saw that the were still asleep, so he got up and walked towards the Lotus Garden where the third lady lived.

In the Wucheng Pavilion of the Forbidden City, a slightly chubby eunuch with no scarlet robe was listening to the report of a little eunuch in a red robe.
"So, Ma Shun's kid didn't do a clean job?"
Hearing this gloomy words, the little eunuch couldn't help but feel a tightening heart, and the cold hairs on his back stood on end. At this time, he didn't dare to say much, how could he take it?
"Useless stuff." I don't know who to scold.
The little eunuchs in Tsing Yi who served next to him all bowed their heads deeply and restrained their voices. (The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty divided their status according to the color of their clothes, and Tsing Yi had the lowest status, which was a miscellaneous object.) The red robe is relatively high, there is a fixed job, and generally a red robe can bring four green clothes. The purple robe is generally to serve the **master, and each **master has a purple robe and several red robes. The scarlet robe is the color of the 24 yamen eunuchs except for the ceremonial supervisor, the imperial horse supervisor, and the 21 yamen chief eunuchs outside the internal official prison, and the scarlet robe is different from the purple robe with the same rank. Higher than the scarlet robe and purple robe is the crimson yellow robe, which is the color of the eunuch who is the chief eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, the imperial horse eunuch, and the chief eunuch of the internal official supervisor, among which the celebrant is the most authoritative. The main functions and powers of the celebrant are: to approve the recitation and proclaim the decree; In charge of all eunuch affairs, the celebrant is not only in the position of "first agency" in each eunuch institution, but also in fact occupies the position of the chief and leader of other eunuch institutions, and the chief eunuch is the head of all eunuchs; Taking into account other important official positions, such as the garrison of Nanjing, or the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor concurrently serves as the commander of the East Factory. )
"What are the names of those two lieutenants?"
"Lord Hui, one is called Ma Chenghai and the other is Ran Dong."
"Back to the East Factory."
This slightly chubby and bearded crimson robe eunuch is none other than Wang Zhen, who is in charge of the ceremonial eunuch. Wang Zhen is a native of Ulzhou, a little familiar with scriptures, and later became an instructor, but the road to glory and admission to the Jinshi was too difficult for him, so he castrated himself into the palace. Because he was cautious and cautious, the emperor also liked him, so he appointed him as the director of the East Palace and served the prince, who is now the emperor. He knew that in order to gain favor in front of the emperor, it was difficult for him, an outsider, to gain favor. And as soon as he met the prince, he was like a fish in water, trying his best to meet the prince's needs. The prince is a little doll, what kind of discernment can he have, if his father does not allow it, but Wang Zhen, a big playmate, quietly satisfies him, he feels that only this big playmate is the most amiable in the world. So much so that later, he couldn't leave Wang Zhen for a moment. Now, everything is under control, Wang Zhen can't help but feel a little proud.
As soon as the group came out of Wucheng Pavilion, they saw a little eunuch in Tsing Yi coming in a hurry. Wang Zhen frowned.
The red-robed little eunuch hurriedly took a few steps forward and asked the oncoming little eunuch, "What is the matter with such a loss of honor?" ”
"Gonggong Li, the little one is Lord Shoufu and several cabinet lords, all of whom are on the side of the Renzhi Palace." The little eunuch in Tsing Yi hurriedly knelt down and bowed.
"Little Lizi, you go back to Dongchang first."
The red-robed little eunuch Li Xiaoquan bowed and left. Wang Zhen and his entourage went to the Renzhi Palace.
