Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 43

"A young man enters the palace, studies in the inner study, and is lucky enough to enter the Twelfth Prison to do a job as a writer. If he does well, he will be a man, and his seniority will be promoted step by step... If he accumulated virtue in his previous life, he would be favored by the ancestors of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. , and send it to the East Palace for companion reading, this will be considered a step up to the top."

When Zou Yi said this, his attitude had changed. When he first came to deliver the brochure, he was polite, but it was a kind of reserved politeness, but now he was very relaxed and leisurely, as if he was telling his friends about ancient times.

"Think about it, growing up with the Holy Majesty, the friendship between the monarch, his ministers, and his servants must be deep. When the crown prince ascends to the throne, he naturally wants to use someone he cares about. This East Palace companion will most likely be the eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies. In charge of the inner court, brother Wang, if you say that, should we, Eunuch Zhang, be the eunuch who is in charge of etiquette?"

The eunuch who is in charge of the official seal is the No.1 eunuch in the inner court. He is approved by the emperor on behalf of the emperor, and his weight is as high as a mountain. Most of the time, the eunuch with the official seal is higher than the chief assistant of the cabinet. It is not an exaggeration.

However, even though Wang Tong is ignorant of the current affairs and political situation, he also knows that the current eunuch in charge of ceremonies is Feng Bao, and the admiral of Dongchang...

"Eunuch Zhang can't do the seal of the Supervisor of Rites. According to his seniority and status, he should be qualified to be an admiral of the East Factory, but this is also under the leadership of Eunuch Feng. If you are Eunuch Zhang, do you feel bitter?"

Zou Yi asked easily. Wang Tong smiled wryly and nodded, but he didn't dare to answer. However, he vaguely guessed Zhang Cheng's expression in the afternoon and the reason for his help in the evening. Zou Yi continued:

"Eunuch Feng was on duty in the Supervisor of Rituals during the Jiajing Dynasty. Now in the three dynasties, the Empress Dowager trusts him, and the Emperor respects him. The Grand Master Zhang in the cabinet is also a big boss in the Jiajing Dynasty. He is the late Emperor's confidant. When he is the teacher of today's emperor, he is always in awe of his words. Three points, there is such a big brother in the court that both emperors are afraid of, so what about our Eunuch Zhang?"

The sound of bells and drums from the imperial city was heard in the house, and Wang Tong trembled. The heights were indeed extremely cold, and he could easily fall to his death. It seemed that he could no longer turn back.

"However, Eunuch Feng and Zhang Ge are both old, and the emperor is still young, and the time is still long. Whoever spends more time with the emperor will benefit more in the future... Eunuch Zhang is with the emperor every day, but After all, he is one person, not as qualified as the two older ones, the world is unpredictable, no one thought that the emperor would meet you, brother Wang, and the queen mother would appreciate it."

Having said that, Zou Yi stopped, looked at Wang Tong with a smile, Wang Tong was stunned for a moment before he realized, he let out a breath, feeling that the room was extremely cold.

But look at the charcoal fire in the brazier in front of him. It's not cold but cold. Wang Tong only wants one thing at this time:

"If you want to live a wonderful life in this life, how can there be glory and wealth for free in this world, so why not give it a try."

Determined in his heart, Wang Tong said calmly:

"Brother Zou, please continue talking, younger brother is listening!"

"Brother Wang's temperament and demeanor really don't look like a 14-year-old man. Eunuch Zhang serves the emperor in the palace. Brother Wang has this great opportunity to get close to the emperor outside the palace, and work together internally and externally to serve the emperor well. Brother Wang, are you willing?"

Zou Yi asked with a smile, Wang Tong paused for a while, then smiled and said:

"Why don't you want to, Big Brother Zou, please thank Eunuch Zhang on behalf of my younger brother, I will always remember my father-in-law's kindness, I will never forget it, and I will definitely repay you."

Speaking of such a big event, although Wang Tong was also surprised and apprehensive, his overall performance was still calm and calm, and what he agreed to was calm and relaxed.

Zou Yi stood up with a nod and a smile, stretched out his hand to brush off his cotton robe, and said relaxedly:
"Brother Wang's intentions, Eunuch Zhang understands, time is still long, let's take our time, it's getting late, brother, I'm going to rest too."

Stretching out his hand, he stuffed the food stall on the table back into his pocket, but took out a thick booklet with a blue leather cover and no lettering, put it on the table and said:

"Eunuch Zhang copied a copy from someone close to him, and brother Wang will keep it for himself as a reference."

Wang Tong took a deep breath. If he hesitated to refuse just now, the copy of this transcription might not have been taken out of his pocket at all. Zou Yi walked towards the wing room, walked a few steps but turned back and said:

"Since you and I are brothers, there is always a word of advice. This food and cooking is a small way after all. Could it be that Brother Wang's future future is to be the manager of the Shangshan Room?"

Wang Tong smiled and didn't answer the conversation. He just sat there flipping through the brochures. He couldn't go to bed early that night, and he had to pay attention to the busy preparations in the kitchen.

**
It was already the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and there were still five days before the Chinese New Year. The festive atmosphere on the streets was already very strong. The shop assistants were a little distracted when they were busy, but they were immediately scolded by Widow Ma and Zhang Shiqiang.

Tired and tired, everyone was happy. The boss said that the holiday would start at [-]:[-], and they would come back on the seventh day of the lunar new year. Besides, each person earned at least [-] cash and [-] catties of meat. This year, the whole family will be happy together.

There are much fewer high-grade eunuchs than yesterday, and it seems that they have returned to the normal passenger flow. The faces of the eunuchs and the Imperial Guard Military Academy have tired looks, and some people ask if they can take them back to the palace to eat, or return them to the palace. The companions who prepare for the New Year's Eve in the palace will take it with them.

Wang Tong really prepared a batch of lunch boxes made of thin wood boards when they opened the business, which happened to be used this time, but the lunch boxes had to be returned the next day for reuse.

After Zou Yi had his first guest in the delicious restaurant, he changed into a low-grade eunuch's robe and returned to the imperial city to return to his command.After the conversation last night, Wang Tong felt much more confident.

As usual, he was still sitting in the corner. Things were relatively free in the morning, which happened to be used for some private matters.

Opposite Wang Tong stood a big man with a full beard, almost half a head taller than Zhang Shiqiang, with thick hands and feet, quite strong.

This man was wearing a sheepskin jacket with a short brown skirt inside. People in the capital were familiar with this attire, and they were usually shepherds who herded horses and livestock for wealthy families outside the city.

"Brother Ma, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, we are all from our own family, why are you being so polite!"

Wang Tong felt rather awkward, and greeted repeatedly, the man in front of him was Ma Sanbiao, the son of Widow Ma, who was said to have come yesterday, but there were too many things in the store, so he didn't have time to greet him.

Hearing what Wang Tong said, Ma Sanbiao grinned and was about to sit down. Before his butt touched the bench, Ma Sanbiao sternly yelled from behind:

"Sanbiao, don't be indifferent in front of the boss!!"

Ma Sanbiao has a bad temper, but he is a filial son. Hearing this, he stood there with a bitter face. Wang Tong remembered that he was teased by this Ma Sanbiao a few years ago. Today, the other party's respect is really impressive. People are not used to it.

He had to clear his throat, and asked without words:

"Brother Ma, I heard from Aunt Ma that you were beaten by the person who hired you outside the city, but what's the matter?"

"It's okay, I was whipped three or four times, but the bastard who whipped me couldn't get out of bed for half a month."
