Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 148 Eunuch
Until the New Year's Eve, the brothers of the Fu family were arrested and returned home, and they all ate and drank at Su Tong's place.

Of course, it wasn't just the two of them, the students staying in the school were all together, eating, living, and mixing together, so they were not lonely.

Su Tong is different. Although she is in Qingzhou, far away from Feng, she can't see Erlang, but she still has her father, so she can't stay at school during the Chinese New Year, and let her father spend the holiday alone.

At the end of the twelfth month, Su Tong took care of all the chores in the school, handed over the school to A Xia and Chen Mo, and went home with a suit of clothes newly cut for his father.

Su Tong really wanted that guy Chen Mo to come to his house to celebrate the New Year. He seemed to have this intention at first, but then a hidden guest came from the capital, and he refused straight away, and ran away with his guest. The sky is missing.

Xiao Yao was taken aback, afraid that something might happen, but Su Tong didn't want to bother. Everyone has their own secrets. Chen Mo is the Almighty Mr. introduced by the eldest princess, but he was not sold to the Su family. He has his own life and communication Nothing could be more normal.

Besides, that guy has a good mind despite his physical incompleteness, and his background is mysterious, his life experience is complicated, and his backing is tyrannical. Maybe something happened, and he caused someone else to have something happen.

Su Tong took Aunt Ma and waited for a series of servants, and rushed home all the way. As a result, on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, her father returned home with a haggard look on his face.

It happened to be snowing, and when Su Wencheng came in, Su Tong was staring at the freshly brewed Tusu wine, tore a slit from the sealed rice paper on the wine jar, carefully smelled the smell, and felt that the compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine was really good, she I recognized almost half of the medicinal materials, all of which were good medicinal materials.

A smell of wine wafted from his nostrils, Su Wen let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "A Tong is back?"

Su Tong smiled and put away the drinks, welcomed his father into the house, swept the snowflakes off his shoulders for him, helped him to sit on the couch with a cotton cushion, and asked Aunt Ma to boil a pot of boiling water for Su Wencheng to soak. After soaking my feet, I put on brand new shoes and socks, and then I brought the steaming soup.

After eating a bowl of mutton soup, Su Wencheng felt comfortable, brushed his daughter's black hair, and said with a wry smile: "Daddy still has some things to do, this year... Ah Tong may have to live by himself, um, or else Daddy will give him a gift." How are you going back to school?"

Su Tong was taken aback - as far as she knew, the yamen had already reached the time of sealing, so where was there any official business?
It is impossible for officials to be open all year round. In fact, officials have many holidays at this time, as long as 98 days a year.

Su Wencheng didn't hide it from his daughter, "A very difficult case happened a few years ago, and a murder case happened in Chongyang Village, Qingzhou the day before yesterday."

He sighed inwardly and frowned. The evaluation of officials in various places is not based on how many cases you have solved, but how many cases have occurred in the local area. If a murder case occurs, it is fine if it can be solved. Said, but it is a very demeritful thing, especially now that there is a murder before the Chinese New Year, it is as disgusting as swallowing a fly.

"If it's an ordinary murder case, even if it's not good, it won't make everyone in the yamen worry about it. But this time it's different. The one who died was Jin Dang from the official family in the palace. Because of his age, the official family authorized him to sue him. I left the palace and returned to my hometown Qingzhou last month."

Su Tong rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of who that person was. The so-called close friends of the official family meant that the emperor was close to the eunuchs. Sometimes the eunuchs were powerful, but after all, they were the people around the official family, and they connected with the sky. Sometimes when it comes to closeness, even the trusted ministers, they didn't have the deep feelings between the eunuchs and the official family around them.

After all, the official family was born in the palace, and most of the attendants and companions were eunuchs, so the eunuchs were naturally closer.

It is also easy for officials to trust eunuchs, because these people's wealth and life are all tied to the officials, and there is no other way out, unlike court ladies, who can still be married when they are old.

The eunuch who returned to Qingzhou is sixty-three this year, and has served the emperors of two dynasties. Although he is not a big eunuch, he has been serving in the imperial dining room, but the cooking is very suitable for Zhao Zhen's taste, and his relationship with Zhao Zhen is still close. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he watched the official Zhao Zhen grow up.

This year he is old, he can't cook well, and he is honest and honest. He has never made friends with ministers, and he has never bought property in the capital. The officials think that he has worked hard and has a simple temperament, so they think highly of him and reward him specially. He bought a large sum of property and sent him back to his hometown for the elderly.

Just for him to return to his hometown, the Qingzhou government sent people to renovate the house for him a few months ago.

"Daddy is talking about the grandson eunuch who just married his young wife last month?" Su Tong frowned. What kind of godson do you recognize? After running to Qingzhou, you actually married a beautiful woman who was only 20 years old. Either she was a concubine or a maidservant, or a bright matchmaker welcomed a woman into the door. How could it be nothing new?
Su Wencheng nodded: "The bride is You, Third Sister You, a distant cousin of a student of Yu Zhizhou, so he acted as a matchmaker and betrothed Third Sister You to Eunuch Sun... At this moment, Yu Zhizhou may feel uncomfortable .”

To put it bluntly, in fact, Yu Zhizhou's actions were intended to foster a relationship with Eunuch Sun. Even if it wasn't deliberate, there was some meaning to it.

Eunuch Sun has served in the palace for decades, and he understands the master's thoughts best. They eunuchs have always put all their energy into trying to figure out the officials' thoughts. Zhao Zhen was fine when he was the emperor, and he has a generous temperament. Kindness, never embarrassing the palace people, the atmosphere in the palace is also relaxed, if it is another emperor who is difficult to serve, if the eunuchs do not do their homework well and offend the master's disgust, there is no certain day. The straw mat was wrapped and thrown on the mass grave.

Right now, eunuch Sun's favor is not fading, and he can get the emperor's grace to retire and return to his hometown. I think he understands Zhao Zhen's thoughts quite well. If the eunuch revealed a little bit, it would be of great benefit to him.

It's good now, everything is useless, even though Yu Zhizhou didn't actually spend too much time on a mere eunuch due to his status, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart and felt that he was at a disadvantage.

Now it's the end of the new year, when this kind of thing happened, even the capital was alarmed, and the officials were very concerned. How could the Qingzhou government care about any seals for the New Year, and if they didn't break the secret, no one would think about it good year.
