Xiao Jiangyuan, the second monk, was puzzled: "Yizi? ”

Jing Zhong, who was guarding outside the door, was also shocked when he heard the word "Yizi", and unconsciously moved closer to the door, wanting to hear the conversation between Xiao Jiangyuan and Yang Siqiao.

"You...... Didn't you want to accept him as a righteous son, so you treated him so kindly? Yang Siqiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Jiangyuan still didn't understand: "What righteous son?" Why do you want to be adopted as a adopted son? ”

"You don't know?" Yang Siqiao patiently explained.

Eunuchs are divided into two categories, one is the eunuch who enters the palace after becoming an adult and has children, and the other is the eunuch who purifies himself at a young age and grows up in the palace. The former also enjoyed the pleasure of wives and children, and entered the palace mostly to make his family more powerful or wealthy, while the latter was destined to have no children in this life. But eunuchs are also human beings, and they also desire to have a family, so after many eunuchs gained power, they all married wives, but they were powerless in the matter of their children, and recognizing their righteous sons became a tacit way for eunuchs to keep their descendants.

What they want to inherit is not incense, but the power and connections they have accumulated over the years. They cannot be related to each other by marriage, and they cannot rely only on friendship or brotherhood to maintain their relationship, but recognizing their son can make the friendship deeper and the relationship stronger. And with a righteous son, there are also people who give their old age to the end.

Eunuchs are either old or powerful, and they can recognize their sons, and the emperors of all dynasties have acquiesced to this. Yang Siqiao recognized more than a dozen righteous sons, taught them martial arts, and let them play a large role as a guard in many palace coups. With Xiao Jiangyuan's current power and status, even if he recognized a righteous son who was twice his age, no one would dare to say anything.

And in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Jiangyuan has also reached the time when he can recognize his son, and even many people have begun to gear up and want to express their filial piety in front of Xiao Jiangyuan. If he can recognize Xiao Jiangyuan as his father-in-law, he will become a face-saving person in front of the emperor, and another internal eunuch, Yang Siqiao, will he become his uncle, wouldn't he have a bright future and a worry-free life?

Therefore, Jingzhong's birth made the entire court eunuch system shake - how can the powerful father-in-law be so easy to recognize, they haven't made a move yet, why did the place of the eldest son fall to a little-known ugly monster?

What Yang Siqiao is worried about is: born from the heart, this child looks so unpopular, and the saint doesn't like it, I heard the saint say that there are still a lot of eyes, the virtuous brother should not be impulsive, admit a troublemaker. In case this child commits any crime in the future, the virtuous brother will also have to sit together.

However, seeing that the virtuous brother didn't even know about the matter of recognizing Yizi among the eunuchs, he was much more relieved: "Now that you know about this, you are not allowed to move that thought." If you like him now, you will serve him by your side, and if you don't like it one day, you will never see him in your life. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a while and said, "I won't recognize Yizi, I won't recognize any of them, don't worry, brother." ”

If she really wanted to admit it, her family Ah Lang would be the first to stand up and oppose it, and at that time, it was not that she could make him compromise by staring at him for a while. She didn't know it before, but now that she knows, even if her family Ah Lang can agree one day, she really doesn't have that plan.

Yang Siqiao frowned and said, "That's not going to work." If you don't recognize your righteous son, who will give you a pension in the future? ”

"Brother, can't you?"

“…… I won't ignore you, but I'm at least twenty years older than you, do you think I can outlive you? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan nodded: "That...... Just ask the Son of Heaven for a favor before he dies, and let him find whoever he wants to bury me next to his mausoleum. Nothing else. ”

Yang Siqiao has always been helpless against this virtuous brother, and when she heard her talk about this, he had to sigh and let her go. This night, Yang Siqiao was on duty at Li Longji's place, and when he saw that it was getting late, Yang Siqiao left.

Jing Zhong only re-entered Xiao Jiangyuan's room after Yang Siqiao walked away. It turned out that there was a saying of recognizing a son among eunuchs, and he was very surprised when he heard it at first, thinking that Xiao Jiangyuan really had a mind about recognizing his son, and although he was a little disappointed when he heard it, he was also a little relieved.

Xiao Jiangyuan will not recognize his son, he will always be the first person by Xiao Jiangyuan's side, and no one can go past him. But for Xiao Jiangyuan at the moment, it is indeed as Yang Siqiao said, he will come when he is called, and he will leave as soon as he is called, if he doesn't like it in the coming day and abandons him, what can he do?

In just one day, he felt a strong change in people's attitudes towards him, how could he still return to his former situation? Xiao Jiangyuan refused to recognize Yizi, although he put an end to the intervention and snatching of others, but it also made his relationship with her unable to further stabilize.

Jingzhong quietly looked at Xiao Jiangyuan, who was reading history books by candlelight, and suddenly blessed his soul - there are thousands of relationships between people and people, who said that only father and son are stable? Immediately plucked up his courage, walked in front of Xiao Jiangyuan, and said solemnly: "Please accept me as an apprentice." ”

As soon as the words came out, he wanted to bite off his tongue and bury himself in some piece of soil. Why is he so abrupt, so straightforward, and his tone is so blunt? She doesn't even want to accept her son, and the relationship between her apprentice is not as close as her son, but I'm afraid that she will have to reject it thousands of miles away. Does she feel like she's getting an inch? Will you feel annoyed by this and regret bringing yourself out? Will......

"Okay."

All of Jingzhong's uneasiness was overturned by these two words. He looked up in a daze, and saw that Xiao Jiangyuan was still reading, his expression and movements had not changed, and he thought that he had heard something. Until Xiao Jiangyuan also raised his head and smiled at him: "Didn't you say that you want to worship the master, I heard that when the apprentice gives the master a bow to the master, he has to hand over the restraints, and he has to kneel down to serve tea." If you can't take it out, I don't want it, but this tea ......"

Xiao Jiangyuan saw a bright smile on Jing Zhong's face for the first time, he hurriedly poured the tea, knelt down to himself, and then raised the tea with both hands above his head, and after a set of movements, the tea was almost spilled. Jingzhong was very embarrassed, but Xiao Jiangyuan thought it was very interesting, took the tea without disgust, drank the only little tea left, and said, "Then from today on, you will be my apprentice." Tomorrow, you will go to study with the little eunuchs and the people in the palace, and study for a month to see how far your knowledge has reached, and then I will make other arrangements. I've given you the next door a place to live alone, and you'll clean it up in a moment, and then go back to sleep." ”

"Doesn't Master have to serve all night as an apprentice?" Jingzhong heard that all the eunuchs in the palace who were a little powerful would follow the example of those nobles, and leave someone by his side to serve when he sleeps, just in case of emergency.

Xiao Jiangyuan said lightly: "Except for saints, I don't like to sleep with others. ”

Jing Zhong couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the son of heaven who hated him very much and didn't have a very good temper. Xiao Jiangyuan smiled when he saw it: "The saint is actually very good, you don't have to be so afraid of him." ”

Jing Zhong slandered, where am I afraid of him, I obviously hate him, how can he deserve to sleep with my master?

On the surface, Jing Zhong's smile was still the same: "Yes, from now on, the apprentice will listen to the master for everything." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan's acceptance of Jing Zhong as a disciple shocked the court again, and Jing Zhong suddenly became the focus of many eyes in the palace. Yang Siqiao didn't want to say anything about this fickle virtuous brother. Li Longji sulked with Xiao Jiangyuan for a day, and finally after Xiao Jiangyuan promised that he would never let Jingzhong serve by Li Longji's side in the future, he was willing to talk to Xiao Jiangyuan, but he still complained with hatred: "He is clearly using you, but fortunately, you have ascended to the sky in this palace in one step, you are usually very resourceful, how can a nine-year-old child calculate you now?" ”

"The minister knows that his motives are not pure, but the minister is not helpless against him." Xiao Jiangyuan said, "The minister's matter has been decided, let's talk about it, what interesting things did everyone do yesterday when the minister was resting." ”

When Li Longji heard this, his eyes couldn't help but look away: "I didn't do anything, it was all the courtiers making a fuss." They called me 'saint', and they really wanted to train me in the direction of a saint, but after all, I am an ordinary man! I'm tired of being diligent in government affairs all day, so why not relax a little? Besides, there's nothing wrong with what I'm saying, ritual music and folk music are different, and ritual music is under the management of Taichang Temple, I have no opinion, why do I meddle in folk music, just say that I am out of place and lose my mind? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was unmoved: "Then what is the matter with everyone going to the folk to collect musicians and dancers, and placing them in the pear orchard and setting up another teaching workshop?" ”
