The palace, in Zhu Jinghong's dormitory.

At the moment, he was taking a bath, and it was Yinglian who was serving next to him.

From the very beginning of avoiding suspicion, to now, he simply let himself go and directly let Yinglian live near the dormitory, without having to go to the dining room to cover up.

The crackdown has ended, and someone is busy with the finishing work, Zhu Jinghong is now idle, practicing martial arts every day.

It's not about winning the fight, it's about being fit and living longer.

At this moment, in the pool, Zhu Jinghong was lying with his eyes closed, letting Yinglian wipe him.

He was comfortable, but Yinglian was tired of sweating, but she still had to work hard.

"I said Yinglian, if you're tired, just sit on me, I won't mind......"

Zhu Jinghong suddenly spoke, but Yinglian was startled, and then she replied: "How dare the slave!" ”

"What dare you do, I'm afraid I'll tire you!"

Saying that, regardless of Yinglian's willingness or not, Zhu Jinghong directly pulled her into his arms.

Nephrite jade is warm and fragrant, Zhu Jinghong only feels that life is good, and the only deficiency is ...... There is only one Yinglian by her side.

The royal family has strict rules, and there can be no maidservants to serve before the opening of the palace, and now he has broken the rules by doing so.

It's just that Zhu Jinghong felt that he had made a great contribution this time, and the emperor's father should be able to give him face, so he took Yinglian with him.

Otherwise, if he mixes with a group of eunuchs every day, Zhu Jinghong will feel that his life is bleak.

After taking a bath at noon, Zhu Jinghong dressed up before leading Yinglian to lunch together.

At this time, Deng An reminded: "Thirteenth Master, Xue Pan of the Xue family has been in the middle of an hour, do you want to see him?" ”

This matter was ordered yesterday, and Zhu Jinghong had a lot of fun practicing martial arts in the morning, but he forgot about it.

But at this moment, he was not in a hurry to express his position, but asked casually: "How much silver did he give you?" ”

These words frightened Deng An a lot, and he immediately knelt down and admitted: "Back to the Thirteenth Master, it is Xue Pan who has to give it, and the slave can't accept it...... That's all it is for fifty taels of silver tickets! ”

Deng An's cashier, of course, Zhu Jinghong guessed.

Even if he didn't guess, someone behind him would knock on the side and tell Zhu Jinghong about it.

Just because the eunuch is also involuted, Deng An personally follows the position of the eunuch, and there are more than a dozen people staring at it below.

Watching Deng An take out the silver ticket, Zhu Jinghong glanced at him and said, "Since it was given by someone, just accept it!" ”

"It's just this kind of benefit, you can't swallow it alone, you look at these brothers around you, which one is not a hard life, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy!"

The meaning of these words is tantamount to asking Deng An to distribute the money to other eunuchs, Zhu Jinghong is indeed generous to others.

Deng An immediately said: "The slave has this idea!" ”

Zhu Jinghong smiled, and then said to the left and right: "You haven't thanked Deng An yet!" ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Deng!"

The sound of everyone's thanks made Deng An is heart ache, but it made Yinglian, who was watching, laugh.

"Go and call Xue Pan in!"

Immediately, an official turned around to spread the word, and got the silver to make him run a little faster.

After a while, Xue Pan was brought into this heavy palace and knelt in front of Zhu Jinghong under the guidance of the official eunuch.

"Get up and talk!" Zhu Jinghong said lightly.

"Xie Thirteen Master!"

Although he stood up, Xue Pan still hooked his waist and lowered his head, putting his identity very seriously.

And with Zhu Jinghong's attitude at the moment, Xue Pan can roughly judge that today should not be a bad thing.

"The artillery in Beijing this time was bought by your family from Westerners?"

"Back to the Thirteenth Master, that's exactly the case!"

"The emperor of your family is dedicated to this?" Zhu Jinghong was a little puzzled.

"The villain's family has some interests with Westerners, and sells them some tea, porcelain and silk!"

After organizing the language, Xue Pan continued: "The purchase of artillery is an urgent delivery under the celebrant and a temporary errand!" ”

Zhu Jinghong then asked: "With the temporary errand, the Westerners can deliver so many artillery?" Where did the artillery come from? It can't be shipped from their hometown! ”

"The artillery was brought from south of Luzon, and it was their own ordnance, and it was sold by their governor!"

In other words, the governor of the Westerners has also engaged in the business of reselling arms, and it seems that corruption is everywhere.

"Since your family has dealings with foreigners, can you do me a favor?"

"Thirteenth Master, you command!" Xue Pan hurriedly replied.

Zhu Jinghong put down his chopsticks and said very solemnly: "Find a way to find some foreign craftsmen, it is best to be able to make guns and cannons, and I will be rewarded if I find them!" ”

Hearing the heavy reward, the surrounding eunuchs were shocked.

What can you reward others? If you want money, you don't have the right to ask for it.

"When the minister goes back, he will instruct that it must be done for the thirteenth master!"

Zhu Jinghong nodded and advised: "This matter is very important, you have to watch it yourself!" ”

"This ......"

Seeing that Xue Pan had doubts, Zhu Jinghong asked about the bankruptcy: "What...... Having a hard time? ”

"I didn't ...... No difficulty! Xue Panyan was insincere.

Anyway, the Xue family has helped him a lot before and after, and Zhu Jinghong didn't say it, so it doesn't matter, it can't make people feel cold.

"If you have a problem, just say it, don't hide it!"

"Back to the thirteenth master, the villain originally planned to leave for Beijing today, one to check the accounts, and the other to ...... The housemate's candidacy for the study! ”

Not only did Aunt Xue find it difficult to fill the gap, but Xue Pan also had such an opinion, so he simply didn't mention it.

Zhu Jinghong said with an indifferent face: "It doesn't hurt to check the accounts a few days late, as for Ling Mei's candidacy, it's just a trivial matter...... I'll just say hello to Shangyi in the palace! ”

"You can do things for me with peace of mind, and you have brought someone to us to Beijing together, are you afraid that you won't be able to choose my face?"

is still the same sentence, the Xue family can be regarded as saving his life, and he has lost a lot of money and land for this, and now he is taking this opportunity to repay the favor.

"Did you hear that?"

"Ah...... Be! Xue Pan was overjoyed.

But then he felt annoyed again, and scolded himself for being a fool, he should have said something to make up for the gap just now, so Zhu Jinghong would have helped.

Seeing that Xue Pan didn't speak, Zhu Jinghong wondered, is this Xue Pan not enough?

"What? Not enough? ”

"Enough is enough, thank you Thirteen Master, thank you Thirteen Master!" Xue Pan immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"The things entrusted to you must be done, you can support the amount of silver first, and you will be paid back the next day!"

I will pay you back in the future, this is said lightly, when will Zhu Jinghong not say, how dare Xue Pan come to the door to collect debts.

Anyway, if you don't come, you don't dare to ask for it, so why not go out as a whole person.

"It is the honor of the villain to be able to serve the thirteenth master, the villain is friends with Westerners, and it doesn't cost much to invite a few craftsmen!"

"If you want to invite some good craftsmanship, at least it is better than the military battle, you have to be more careful and don't be afraid to spend money!"

The War Bureau is one of the 24 yamen of the inner court, which is responsible for making weapons for the guards and the army, and the level of craftsmen can be called the first-class level of the Ming Dynasty.

It is really difficult to find a better skill than the War Bureau, and Xue Pan felt the pressure at the moment.

"Rest assured, the villain will do his best!"

"Alright, you can go back!" Zhu Jinghong waved his hand.

"Yes...... Be! ”

After Xue Pan saluted again, he withdrew from the dormitory.

After he left, Ying Lianfang couldn't help but speak: "Thirteenth Master...... Such a wicked man, do you still want to help him? ”

Zhu Jinghong sighed with emotion: "Alas...... How can there be so many good people in this world, whether they are evil or good, as long as they can get things done, it is good! ”

Seeing Yinglian's blank face, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help laughing, and told her what he was doing with this.
