Chapter 272: Ah Chang enters the palace
Chen Hong left the palace and went straight to the Yanbo Painting Boat.
"Book that mother!"
"I'll run it myself, and it's best to park the Yanbo Painting Boat at the pier, otherwise I'll have to look for it on the water."
Hurried to the wharf, Chen Hong saw the pavilion-like majestic shape of the Yanbo Painting Boat from afar.
He breathed a sigh of relief, put up the posture of the great eunuch again, and walked leisurely towards the painting boat with square steps.
"You're Ah Chang?"
When the old bustard brought Ah Chang over, Chen Hong was a little surprised.
Oiran's personal maidservant, is actually such a mediocre appearance?
The face is mediocre!
Mediocre stature!
The clothes and makeup are mediocre!
As a woman, she is simply useless in appearance, just a village woman with a slightly stout body!
Chen Hong is worthy of being the great eunuch in the palace.
After carefully examining Ah Chang's appearance, he felt that it was very reasonable.
"Concubine Rou isn't too stupid."
"The palace maid around the favorite concubine is the most easy for chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven, and she was unexpectedly fortunate by the emperor."
"Throughout the ages, there is no precedent for slaves and maids to snatch the favor of their masters."
"Concubine Rou only left this kind of goods by her side, and she thought about it carefully."
The way of thinking of eunuchs is indeed different from that of normal people.
Previously, Chen Hong looked down on Xue Susu a little, but now he began to appreciate her.
After all, if she didn't even have this snack machine, she wouldn't have lived long in the bloody rain of the three thousand beauties in the harem vying for favor.
"You're Ah Chang? The personal maid of the concubine when she was painting the boat? ”
Chen Hong asked symbolically.
"Yes." Ah Chang's face was expressionless, and he only nodded in acknowledgement.
Chen Hong saw that she was rude, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.
But remembering that this person is a close confidant of Concubine Rou, he doesn't care about her.
Even, Chen Hong squeezed out a smile and said: "Good luck Miss Achang, Concubine Rou is talking about you, let our family take you into the palace, and continue to serve Concubine Rou in the future." ”
"Yes."
Ah Chang didn't look flattered at all, and still replied with a word.
Is she a rough maid?
Chen Hong saw that Ah Chang's 'quality' was so poor, and he secretly despised it in his heart.
Anyone who has a little emotional intelligence should also be grateful to him, even if Chen Hong is just an errand messenger.
"Except for Miss Achang, who else serves Concubine Rou on weekdays?" Chen Hong asked casually again.
He just secretly thought it was strange.
The most prestigious Oiran on the Qinhuai River, is there such a thing around him?
Doesn't it seem reasonable?
"Alas~!"
When the old bustard heard this, he sighed first.
"Originally, there was a guy named Luzhu, who had a lively personality and a handsome appearance."
"Oh?" Chen Hong was very surprised and asked, "Where is the green bead girl?" Call it out and let us see it. ”
He will hug Xue Susu's thigh in the future, of course, he wants to know her better.
Seeing that Ah Chang was like a piece of wood, Chen Hong became interested in Green Pearl.
Although it may not be possible to bring green beads into the palace, after all, one more person will cost an extra money.
However, it's still okay to chat with Luzhu now and ask about the privacy of some concubines.
"Green Beads...... Nope. The bustard said.
"Gone? He's dead!? ”
Chen Hong was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.
Such a coincidence?
Concubine Rou's former side of her suddenly died, there won't be anything going on here, right?
"How did you die?" Chen Hong frowned and asked.
The bustard took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes that were not full of tears.
"The night before yesterday, Luzhu was drunk, and he sobered up by blowing the wind on the bow of the boat."
"The hull of the ship hit a piece of ice floe, and the green beads accidentally fell into the water during the turbulence."
"Alas! This cold winter wax moon is at night. ”
"She couldn't swim, so she soaked in the Qinhuai River all night before being picked up the next day...... Everyone Xue secretly cried for a while for her......"
Chen Hong was surprised: "Does this kind of thing happen often?" ”
The old bustard nodded: "You can go to Jingzhao Mansion to inquire and know, there are dozens of painting boats on the Qinhuai River, and there are not a hundred or dozens of people who fall into the water and drown every year." ”
Chen Hong was even more surprised.
He is the great eunuch of the harem, an incomplete man, and it is impossible to care about how many people drown in the Qinhuai River every year in this life.
"It's so easy to die, you still dare to run a painting boat? Can't you go ashore? Chen Hong asked curiously.
The bustard only shook his head.
"On the shore, what is the difference between us and those red and green buildings?"
"The boat is our specialty."
"They are all hard-working people, since they choose to eat this bowl of rice, they can't be afraid of water."
When Chen Hong heard this, he was also very emotional.
Although he is now a great eunuch, if he has a choice, wouldn't it be good to study and make a name for himself?
Do you have to be an incomplete man?
Chen Hong empathized with the three words 'bitter man', so he no longer asked about Luzhu.
"Miss Achang, you can go back to the palace with our family."
"Our family has promised Concubine Rou that she will see you before dark."
Ah Chang nodded.
"Yes."
Chen Hong smiled and said, "Okay, then you go and pack your luggage first, and we will wait for you." Remember, time is pressing, just pack some important things, the palace actually has everything. ”
Ah Chang still said 'yes'.
She turned to leave, and sure enough, she was back quickly.
"That's it?"
Chen Hong looked up and down and found that Ah Chang only brought a small baggage, and he was afraid that he couldn't hold a few pieces of clothes in it.
In addition to this, she also carries two painting scrolls.
"That's enough." Ah Chang said lightly.
"Okay."
Chen Hong is not a bodhisattva in the temple, too lazy to care about other people's affairs.
After spending 5,500 top-grade spirit stones, Chen Hong finally opened up the joints, successfully registered Achang, became a legal Daming palace maid, and was directly transferred to Zhongcui Palace.
"X's!"
"The grandson surnamed Feng dares to raise the price!"
"The convention is five thousand spirit stones, and he actually added five hundred!"
"When our family becomes the boss of the ceremonial supervisor, we have to do him!"
Chen Hong scolded all the way and took Ah Chang to Zhongcui Palace.
Seeing Xue Susu, Chen Hong immediately put on a smiling face.
"Ouch my mother, I've kept you waiting."
"Miss Achang, the slave really brought it to you."
He was about to brag about how hard he had worked to get through the joints and let Ah Chang enter the palace.
Xue Susu didn't seem to understand any human feelings, so he said directly: "Thank you Gonggong Chen, you can step back first, it's enough to have Ah Chang with me." ”
Chen Hong: "??? ”
!
This woman is a white-eyed wolf?!
He almost couldn't hold back his scolding!
Fortunately, Xue Susu added: "Before dinner, please come back again." Ah Chang doesn't understand the rules of the palace, and when the concubine eats with His Majesty, he still needs Gonggong Chen to serve him. ”
When Chen Hong heard this, he immediately turned his worries into joy.
Serving people is originally the job of eunuchs.
Serving Emperor Jiajing is a good thing to show his face.
Don't look at him as the big eunuch in the palace, just the number of times he shows his face in front of Emperor Jiajing every month, but he is at the bottom of several big eunuchs.
"Rest assured, the slave and maid will serve Your Majesty and your meal well, and the slave and maid will retire."
Chen Hong is finally gone.
In the dormitory, only Xue Susu and Ah Chang remained.
Ah Chang was also holding two painting scrolls in his hands.
"Put the painting away, don't let it be seen."
Xue Susu looked Ah Chang up and down, and his tone was a little more concerned.
"Your injuries don't matter, do you?"
Ah Chang shook his head.
"The Ming Vermilion Bird is just the carrier of Emperor Jiajing's power, and it is not him himself who made the move after all."
"I can recover from my injuries in a month at most."
Xue Susu nodded.
"The bitter meat plan helped me enter the palace, but I worked hard for you......"
