The guest and the host are seated, and Tong Guan is the inner yellow door in the palace. Although he is a eunuch, it is an unattainable identity for the Liu family. It's not that the Liu family will be inferior to Tong Guan, an inner yellow door, and it is not worth being the Liu family's teacher. But what the Liu family is most anxious about now is that the news in the palace is not smooth.

My daughter has been in the palace for many years, and I can count the letters on one hand. The Liu family was blind to the situation in the palace and knew nothing.

Tong Guan's appearance brought Liu Baosheng all the news he desperately wanted to know.

Tong Guan is nearly forty years old, and he has been in the court for ten years, if this experience does not make him mature, he deserves Tong Guan's fate. And he is not such a person, he observes words and looks, understands his heart, and is very skilled in these means of doing things for others. After Tong Guan sat down, he first took out a piece of jewelry that Liu took away from home, a white jade pendant, and Liu Baosheng recognized it as his daughter's thing at a glance. He shuddered and held it in his hand, and sighed with a lot of feeling. Only then did it confirm Tong Guan's identity, and he was indeed commissioned by his youngest daughter to come from the palace.

Listening to the news brought by Tong Guan from the palace, the relationship between the chief manager Feng Shicai was connected, but the attitude of the chief manager was ambiguous, and he only allocated the Liu family an inner yellow door that was called by his side.

"What, 20,000 yuan, just give a little guy?"

Han Dahu drank a little wine, a little upset, and heard that so much money was only given to his sister-in-law in exchange for a messenger around him, it was not worth it, and he felt that he had lost to his grandmother's house. He is right to have such thoughts, after all, for ordinary people, 20,000 yuan is a wealth that they can't even think of, even if they are rich businessmen, it is impossible to come up with such a sum of money casually. But he shouldn't have belittled an inner yellow door so badly, and simply used the word 'little guy' to describe it.

Tong Guan, who was sitting opposite his father-in-law, was also an inaccessible inner yellow door, staring at him with a bad face at the moment.

Liu Baosheng said with a tiger face: "What nonsense! After speaking, he bowed his hand to Tong Guan and said: "The son-in-law of the family, the village husband of the mountains, I don't know the depth of the palace, and I also invite Tong Neiguan Haihan." ”

"Liu Gong is serious, now Tong is on an errand by the nobleman's side, and Liu Gong is the nobleman's biological father, where is there any reason to make the master apologize?" Tong Guan's gaze just crossed the faces of Liu Baosheng and Han Dahu, and he could already see Liu Baosheng's thoughts.

Although it was said by the son-in-law, why wasn't it Liu Baosheng's own thoughts?

Otherwise, why did Liu Baosheng just scold him lightly, why didn't he drive Han Dahu out directly?

Tong Guan felt that it was necessary to give Liu Baosheng a science popularization of the rules in the palace, a general who did not understand the rules of the palace game at all, even if he was proud of the spring breeze in the officialdom, I am afraid he would not understand the danger behind the palace wall.

As for...... Han Dahu, just a man, is not in his eyes.

Tong Guanwan smiled: "Gong Liu, I'm afraid you don't know some people in the palace, and I am afraid that you will be suspicious, but there are some heartfelt words, please don't dislike Liu Gong." ”

"I want to hear about it!"

Liu Baosheng continued: "Liu is outside the palace, and there are many court taboos and hearsay, and there is almost nothing to really see and hear, and I also ask the Tong Neiguan to solve his doubts." ”

"The palace is sinister, no more than outside the palace. Many times, the chief and the nobles have one look, and a word that is not light or heavy has already indicated the attitude, and life and death are also in an instant. Manager Feng sent the people around him to Liu Guiren's side, which was already an indication of his attitude. 20,000 guan seems to be a lot, but I am afraid that Mr. Feng really can't look down on it. What he values more is Liu Guiren's status in the hearts of the official family. Tong Guan explained.

Liu Baosheng suddenly realized: "I see." Liu Baosheng, who was still annoyed that he didn't find a good backer for his daughter after spending money, at this moment, the sorrow between his eyebrows has gone down a lot.

Tong Guan continued: "Now that the noble man has Chief Feng in the palace to take care of him, he doesn't have to worry about his safety. It stands to reason that there is Olympic aid outside the palace, which is like a tiger with wings. Tong lost his words and asked for forgiveness. Liu Gong's two virtuous sons-in-law in Bianliang not only couldn't help the nobles, but they did things in a whimsical way, so that they couldn't see the purpose, which was really incomprehensible. ”

"What are they doing in the capital?" Liu Baosheng couldn't hear Tong Guan's dissatisfaction with his eldest son-in-law and second son-in-law, but if he wanted to say that he was sowing discord, I am afraid it would not count, but it just showed Tong Guan's attitude. Qin Wenguang and Cheng Zhijie seemed to be doing their daughter a favor in the capital, causing dissatisfaction among the people around their daughter.

Tong Guan said with a smile: "The eldest prince loves Fengyue, and he travels between scribes all day long. The two sons go back and forth to the door, calling friends and friends, so not majestic. However, Liu Gong also knew that the Empress Dowager was from Jiangmen, and the Empress Dowager was from Shilin. I am afraid that the two sons are in danger of being deceived. ”

At this point, Tong Guan felt that it was almost over.

got up and was about to say goodbye, in fact, he knew that he couldn't sit down, Liu Baosheng's face was like the bottom of the pot, he could play Bao Gong, and if he sat down again, it would be boring to be self-deprecating.

After sending Tong Guan away, Liu Baosheng couldn't hold back any longer, snapped, picked up a tea cup from the dining table, and smashed seven or eight petals angrily. "Bastard, let them help, but it's not a favor, send someone to bring these two things back." ”

Before, he only saw a half-understanding of his daughter's situation from the letters exchanged by his son-in-law, but now he got more information from Tong Guan's mouth. I'm afraid this one means to keep the Liu family away from Bianliang. Now although Liu Qingjing is favored, the official family has not yet been in power, and the queen mother and the queen mother have the final say in the palace, and the Liu family jumps up and down, which is easy to cause disgust.

In addition, Qin Wenguang and Cheng Zhijie are not extremely intelligent, and I am afraid that they have been tricked around in Bianliang now. Relatives are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, ordinary generals like the Liu family, can they compare with the Cao family in terms of playing methods? Playing scheming, the Empress Dowager's family is the prime minister's family, how to compare?

Glancing at the drunken and hazy third son-in-law, Liu Baosheng sighed: "Hateful! ”

I don't know what he hates, but early the next morning, Liu Baosheng summoned his third son-in-law and asked, "Seeing that the day is coming, why hasn't Li Kui come for a long time?" ”

"Father-in-law, the son-in-law has already informed him, and lent the horse to Li Kui. Today is the Shangyuan Festival, he said that he should have arrived, he may live in the city, I will look for it. Seeing that his father-in-law's face was wrong, Han Dahu seemed to remember that he accompanied his father-in-law yesterday and seemed to see someone, by the way, it was a eunuch in the palace.

And then he couldn't remember......

The fear of the fragment immediately enveloped his whole body, and Han Dahu, who had a strong desire to survive, volunteered to go to the city to find Li Kui. On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the poor inspector went out early in the morning, wondering where Li Kui would go?

It won't be coming, will it?

Han Dahu felt that it was unlikely, everyone in Yishui County was a man of credit, and Li Kui would never miss the appointment. He emboldened himself, looked up and saw the signboard of an inn, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he went to the inn to find someone.

There are really few decent inns in Linyi City, and Li Kui is also a rich man, I'm afraid he won't go to the big car shop, and the Chase shop will only be one night, and he can't afford to lose this person.

So, he went to several inns on Main Street to look for them. The first one was not found, he was not discouraged, and went to the second one, fortunately, he saw Li Kui sitting in the lobby of the inn eating and drinking, so uncomfortable.

Han Dahu suddenly rushed to Li Kui, sat opposite, and said to Xiao'er: "Little Er, add a pair of chopsticks." ”

"Brother Li Kui, why don't you go home?"

Han Dahu's disgusted appearance seemed to be counting Li Kui for treating him as an outsider. The point is that he and Han Dahu have nothing to be polite about, but the Liu family is different. What's more, in the corner opposite him, there were two tables of people, two at one table and six people at the other. The two of them are Tong Guan and the woman who drove him to the driver. Most of the six were subordinates, and they were eating. He was staring at Sang Hongye with a big eye and a small fight, and suddenly his vision was blocked, and he found that Han Dahu was looking for it, so he gave up.

Tong Guan was stunned, Han Dahu was carrying him on his back and didn't notice him at all, but anyone who has passed his eyes will never forget it in this life. What's more, they only met yesterday, how can he forget? Isn't the person who is facing Li Kui Liu Guiren's brother-in-law?

Han Dahu?

seems to be such a person, at this moment, even he wondered, could it be that the Liu family and Li Kui are also relatives?

Li Kui dropped the lamb ribs in his hand, glanced left and right, Xiao Er handed over the handkerchief with great discernment, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. The quality of Da Song's shopkeeper was too high, and Li Kui didn't even have time to say words of thanks, so he disappeared into the canteen. After Li Kui finished wiping his hands, he said to Han Dahu: "Brother Han came just in time, I am going to visit Uncle Liu here, and I am still hesitating and don't know how to ask for directions?" ”

"Brother, I have been talking about why I don't see you coming? If it weren't for my brother's idleness, wouldn't he have delayed the festival? Han Dahu ate nonsense for a while, Li Kui went to the guest room to take things away, and the moment he went out, he saw Tong Guan eating slowly in the corner, and he was stunned.

Li Kui urged: "Brother, let's go." ”

Han Dahu recognized Tong Guan, and after bowing slightly, he followed Li Kui out. All this was seen in Li Kui's eyes, and then he became vigilant in his heart, it couldn't be Tong Guan who came to Linyi, it was because of the Liu family, right?

Otherwise, he is a eunuch, what is he doing when he comes to Jingdong Road from Bianliang?

"Brother knows that middle-aged guest in the corner of the dining hall?" Li Kui asked casually.

Han Dahu was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "Yesterday he came to his father-in-law's house, when my brother and I drank wine, I don't know what to say, and my father-in-law woke up today with a rather ugly face on me." I offended that guy yesterday, but I just can't remember, how did I offend him? I saluted him just now, but he didn't even look at me, which was quite hateful. ”

Li Kui was silent, he really wanted to tell Han Dahu that you were not the only one who offended him, and I was also offended. The feeling of hatred and hatred spread between the two, and Li Kui did not have Han Dahu's chagrin, but said angrily: "This dead eunuch is not good to stay in the palace, what do you do when you come out to harm people?" ”

Han Dahu thought that Li Kui was helping him speak, but then he thought about it, something was wrong! How did Li Kui know that Tong Guan was a eunuch, and how did he know that Tong Guan had a beard?

It's an outlier among his eunuchs, I'm afraid that there is such a thing in the entire palace of the Great Song Dynasty?

"How did my brother tell that he was a eunuch?" Han Dahu said curiously.

Li Kui pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "On the way, Tong Guan's subordinates laughed at me for not being able to ride a horse. Then after he appeared, he didn't speak as a man or a woman, who else could he be if he wasn't a eunuch? "Li Kui is also a little blind, the water washed the Dragon King Temple, but the problem is, he doesn't want to be with Tong Guan at all, right?

Laughing at Li Kui?

Han Dahu made up the scene for a while, and suddenly said worriedly: "Have you ever done it?" ”

Li Kui was happy: "Brother thinks that if he does it, where should they be now?" ”

Han Dahu nodded with palpitations, and secretly scolded himself for being naïve, if he really did it, I am afraid that Tong Guan would probably not even be able to see his father-in-law's face, and he would disappear into the world.

He won't offend the dead eunuch either.
