The things in the palace are not that whoever works hard can rise to the top, in most cases, they still need to rely on talent and opportunities, take Cao Alcohol as an example, he climbed to today's position because of his godfather Cao Bo's relationship and young age.

The younger the age, the more opportunities, the stronger the plasticity, most of the little eunuchs who study in the inner study hall are about ten years old, no matter how big they are, there is no chance at all, entering the inner study hall to study is almost half of the success, and if you work hard enough and are diligent enough, it is not known to enter the master of ceremonies to reach the center of power.

But there are also people who are ruthless in seeking wealth and nobility, and the people who are eunuchs every year are like carp crossing the river, and they want to enter the palace to make a monstrous fortune after sharpening their heads, but most of them are not so lucky at all, and they can only do some low-level work when they enter the palace when they are older, and they can only do some low-level work, moving jars, cleaning and even digging dung in the wine and vinegar noodle bureau, most of these people waste half their lives and are finally exiled to the Huanyi Bureau to fend for themselves.

Just like not every eunuch in this palace can be called a eunuch, the book, the long attendant, the emperor, and the eunuch are the young eunuchs, and the eunuchs above the young eunuchs are the eunuchs.

Of course, there are eunuchs, and those who hold real power are the big eunuchs.

Suzhou weaving Lu Tang is a self-castrated palace master, when he was able to rise all the way to the master of ceremonies by that hand of the Danqing attainments, to be honest, Lu Tang's attainments in calligraphy and Danqing look at the entire Daming are salty and few people can match, but because of his eunuch identity, the literati are disdainful and few people respect.

Cao Yu grew up in the palace since he was a child, he has seen all kinds of things, Lu Tang was also in the master of ceremonies back then, but then Lu Tang did not know why he retired and was transferred to Suzhou as a weaver.

Thinking about it, the little eunuch who went to stop people outside the Chongwen Gate hurriedly entered the celebrant with an envoy wearing homespun clothes.

The man was tall and thin, fair-skinned, not like a messenger who came and went in the wind and rain all the year round, but like a pampered nobleman.

"Lord Cao, look up for a long time." The man bowed his hand in greeting.

This voice of Cao Governor directly pulled Cao Alcohol's memory to three years ago, when he competed with several mine supervisors in Tianjin and Shandong for the position of Master of Ceremonies Bingbi, and later because he took the boat of the concubine, he was smoothly promoted.

At that time, Lu Tang greeted him like this.

Cao Ol got up from his position, he approached and whispered: "Gonggong Lu is so bold, he dares to return to Beijing without being called." ”

"In early spring, Lord Cao also went to Huaiyin." Lu Tang bit the latter two very hard: "So each other." ”

It seems that this Lu Tang came prepared and cleared his bottom.

Cao Yu didn't laugh angrily, he ordered left and right: "Take care of it, our family has something to do and go out of the palace." ”

Putting aside the meeting between the DPRK and China for the time being, the team of the northwest tea tour finally moved, and they stopped in Yangqu County for more than six days.

In the short six days, changes have quietly taken place in Yangqu County, saying that Wang Jin, who has been wronged in the case of the widow Hu in Chengdong recently, has been able to show the snow, and the people of Yangqu County have praised Master Gao as a Qing official, saying that Sun Pu, the second young master of the Sun family who dominates the neighborhoods on weekdays, actually followed the caravan south to Yangzhou, and even his fox friend Zhang Wengui was silent.

Yangqu County has returned to its former tranquility.

He Qiao leaned on his hands and threw it, and the luggage was thrown onto the horse by him, and he patted the saddle: "Boss, come up and give it a try." ”

A thick layer of cotton pads was tied to the saddle, and Jiang Banxia was a little surprised.

"Didn't you say last time that the saddle was too many, but yesterday I saw someone selling mats on the street and bought a few." He Qiaoyi smiled.

I can't see that He Qiaoyi is quite good at sycophancy.

Sycophant, Yang Yiqing rolled his eyes, and he could hear He Qiaoyi's clumsy voice across the carriage.

He Qiaoyi himself is from a small person in the market, and he can see clearly who has a future than others, Jiang Banxia is next to the East Factory, and he is next to Jiang Banxia, the reason is the same.

As long as it allows him to make more money, it's fine.

"Boss, what should this kid do?" He Qiao leaned and pointed to the thin young man cowering in the corner, and every time he looked at it, his heart dripped blood.

One thousand taels, one thousand taels! No matter how expensive the top famous prostitute in Jiangnan is, it is only two hundred taels, and it takes three years to earn a hundred taels as a tax supervisor, and this kid actually wants one thousand taels!

To be honest, Jiang Banxia spent money to buy this person, she regretted it a little, one thousand taels is not a small amount, Cao Yu gave her three silver tickets with a face value of one thousand taels in one go, in addition to saving face, she was actually expected to spend it.

There are few silver bills that can absorb such large sums of money.

People are pulling, but the money is gone, which is also very interesting to say.

"Then let him earn it himself." Jiang Banxia joked.

"Just him?" He Qiaoyi laughed: "How to earn?" Grab the treasury? ”

Xie Sheng came out of the corner, knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed a few times: "Ask the eldest master to send the little one into the palace, and the little one will pay off the money." ”

"Don't mind." He Qiaoyi hurriedly dodged away: "Everyone else said that there is a road to heaven in the palace, and in my opinion, there are many people who have died of stumbling to death. ”

Jiang Banxia sneered softly: "Entering the palace is not a shortcut. ”

There are 100,000 palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and the palace maids all expect to become the second Jiang Guifei, and the eunuchs are counting on becoming the second Cao Yu.

After so many years, whether it is a young person or a husband who has been eunuched into the palace, how many of them can finally become a master?

Xie Chang fell to his knees and refused to get up.

This is the same as when Jiang Banxia first saw him, the young man was stubborn and indifferent, to a certain extent, this kind of person is a wolf, and he is even more ruthless to others and himself.

"Old... Boss?" He Qiao stumbled and said, "You don't really want to promise him, right?" The knife master of the clean room will depreciate your 1,000 taels as soon as he stabs it! ”

"You have to give your child a chance." This sentence was said by Jiang Banxia to Xie Sheng, and it was also said to himself.

As soon as the words fell, Xie Sheng knocked his head a few times, and he could see that He Qiao's head hurt.

"Get up." Jiang Banxia picked up Xie Sheng with one hand: "You chose to enter the palace yourself, and we can't help you with what the road will be like in the future, so I will lose the thousand taels." ”

"I'll definitely pay it back!" Xie Sheng said busily.

"Then we'll see."

Jiang Banxia asked people to bring pen and ink, she twisted the pen to stretch the ink, and wrote about the recent situation of the recent tea tour in the northwest, but she did not mention Xie Sheng.

She sealed the envelope and handed it to Xie Sheng: "If you want to enter the palace smoothly, you will personally hand over this letter to the Admiral of Dongchang." ”

This is also a test in disguise, and people with the ability will always find a way to achieve their goals.

Xie Sheng stared at the dashing words on the envelope, and he secretly swore in his heart that if he could get ahead in the future, he would definitely repay this adult.
