Early the next morning, I still walked around the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests, and after serving the Queen Mother, I went to the Shangfu Bureau. Two people were already waiting for him.
A dignified woman in her thirties, wearing palace makeup. Her eyes are naturally smiling, making anyone look happy.
One is a eunuch in his forties, with a thin, yellow face and a slender eyebrow.
The woman is the steward of the Weaving and Embroidery Court, Aunt Wenjin. The eunuch is Lu Can, the deputy steward in charge of purchasing. These two people are the two pillars of Shangfu Bureau.
When Wen Jin saw An Xiaoshan coming to greet him, the deputy steward Lu Can just bowed and didn't raise his eyebrows or open his eyes.
When An Xiaoshan saw his behavior, he realized that he was being looked down upon. He looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old. How could he not be looked down upon?
As soon as he sat down calmly, the little eunuch put the tea in front of him. He didn't even have a chance to take a sip.
"Steward, did you go to visit your ancestors yesterday?" Lu Can asked slowly after taking a sip of tea.
The ancestor he was talking about was Yanshou, the chief steward of the inner palace. This is the pinnacle of eunuchs in the palace.
An Xiaoshan curled his lips in his heart, he is your ancestor, not mine. And Lu Can's attitude disgusted him.
He even used life extension to pressure himself when he came up. This was obviously telling himself that he was the one who extended life.
"I haven't gone to the Queen to express my gratitude. Should the Chief of Life Extension be in front of the Queen?" An Xiaoshan asked deliberately.
Lu Can's eyelids twitched. He didn't dare to say this casually. How could a slave be placed in front of his master?
"Of course, the queen comes first. I heard that the security guard was appointed by the queen herself for this position. But as lowly people, in this palace, besides the master, we also have to know who is the ancestor. Otherwise, in the future, this will happen Accidentally, there is something wrong and there is no one to take care of it."
Lu Can gently put down the tea bowl and made a snapping sound, as if to remind An Xiaoshan.
An Xiaoshan said in his heart, "Oh, why am I, the one who just took office, here to find fault? This is because the second-in-command is dissatisfied with my position as the second-in-command and wants to usurp the throne."
If he suppresses this, Shangfu Bureau will not even fart loudly in the future. It seems that this old bastard can't tell who is the king of heaven and who is the tiger of earth, and he is going to cause trouble.
"Well, Deputy Manager Huang's words make sense. Not only do you need to know who your master is, you also need to know who your ancestors are. But do you have to weigh it carefully? You also need to know who is sitting on your head?"
An Xiaoshan threw the tea cup on the ground with a click, and the tea splashed all over the floor. Staring at Lu Can, he said coldly.
Wen Jin was so frightened that he stood up with a worried look on his face. Lu Can also jumped in the face because he didn't expect An Xiaoshan to be so irritable and unruly.
An Xiaoshan said in his heart, old bastard, don't play tricks with me. Don't tell me that you moved out to extend your life. Even if you move out to be the Queen, I will whip you no matter how hard you push me today.
"Oh, Manager An is such a powerful official! Haishou Guan Shangfu Bureau has not dared to talk to me like this for three years. I am sick and need some time to recuperate..."
After Lu Can finished speaking, he left with his hands behind his back. That attitude was awesome, as if he had a lot of leverage.
On the second day after An Xiaoshan was promoted, the second-in-command deputy manager Lu Can gave up his job.
"Manager An, this is the colored thread that our weaving and embroidery institute urgently needs. If you need it urgently, please purchase it." Wen Jin took out a list and handed it to An Xiaoshan.
An Xiaoshan pretended to look at it and didn't understand at all.
"What? If you don't have this thing for me, you won't buy it?" An Xiaoshan looked at the list and asked doubtfully.
"Of course we have to purchase, but purchasing is the responsibility of Deputy Manager Lu, but now..." Wen Jin said in embarrassment.
An Xiaoshan said in his heart, damn, you two are really good at double acting. If he gives up, you can make trouble for me, just wait and see!
"Now, Deputy Manager Lu is ill, so he must take good care of himself. Leave this matter to me!" An Xiaoshan said.
Aunt Wenjin left politely, and the entire Shangfu Bureau fell into silence. The three heads broke up, and none of the little eunuchs dared to say more.
But the eyes looking at An Xiaoshan from behind were full of mockery and ridicule.
An Xiaoshan drank tea slowly and was actually about to burst with anger. He couldn't stay in the Shangfu Bureau any longer if he didn't deal with these two old guys.
Lu Can and Wen Jin obviously want to suppress him. As long as they regress, they will be gradually ignored. It is good to be used as a puppet.
In this harem, anything dark, dirty, and cruel could happen, and they might very well be blamed for it.
Moreover, he was parachuted in, and the relationships at the top were not straightened out at the bottom. These people were their eyes and ears, and they had no idea who could be trusted.
But it's not that he has nothing to do. It's a bit difficult to deal with him with this little trick. I haven't heard of any unit where the top leader was easily subdued by the second leader.
When the queen came out of the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests, Du Juan was already waiting for her.
After some distance away from the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests, Du Juan couldn't help but mumble.
"Empress, why are you doing this? There are so many things in the palace waiting for you to deal with every day. It's too hard to wake up early in the morning and practice boxing with the Queen Mother."
Du Juan saw that no one started to complain for the queen.
The queen smiled slightly and gently squeezed her arm with her fingers.
"Don't tell me Dujuan. Practicing this Dao Changsheng Boxing is really good for your body. My diet has been much better these days and I feel more energetic."
The queen said with a smile. It seems that he doesn't take the cuckoo's cries seriously at all.
"But it's too early to get up, and the servants feel distressed when they see her. Is it really necessary to imitate Concubine Lan and serve the Queen Mother like that?" Du Juan said.
"Without Concubine Lan, there would be no need for this. With Concubine Lan by the Queen Mother's side, I can't be careless." The Queen said with a smile on her face.
"I have some good news, I heard that An Xiaoshan and Lu Can were having a quarrel this morning. Lu Can is the one who extends life, so he will suffer a lot now."
Du Juan said happily, he and she admired the queen's methods. It seemed that An Xiaoshan was promoted, but in fact he was thrown into a pit of chaos.
A person like this who is placed in a high position at a young age will definitely develop a arrogant spirit and offend others everywhere. He will soon fall into endless troubles, and his life may be in danger if he is not careful.
If it is done well, it will prevent you from biting the master behind him. Even if the Queen Mother wants to protect her, she will be upset, right?
"Lu Can is the one who prolongs life, and if you can extend life even to me, let's just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers." The queen said calmly.
When An Xiaoshan finds himself in trouble, who can Concubine Lan of Zhilan Palace count on? Even if she has to step down and help, then it will be interesting.
"How can they be tigers in front of the empress? They are just two cats fighting over a smelly fish." Du Juan said in compliment with the corner of her mouth raised.
An Xiaoshan went back to Zhilan Palace to take a nap, and in the afternoon he leisurely came to the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests to find Huang Mei.
"Brother Huang, lend me a tiger skin." An Xiaoshan said to Huang Mei.
"Where do I have that thing?" Huang Mei, who was enjoying the cool under the tree, waved her big face and didn't know what he was talking about.
"The little eunuchs in the Queen Mother's Palace will lend me some. I want to show off my power." An Xiaoshan said.
To clean up the stewed vegetables, no one else needed to take action. An Xiaoshan could knock out all his teeth, but to shock the entire Shang Shangfu Bureau, he still had to borrow a tiger skin.
An Xiaoshan came out of Qinian Palace, followed by six or seven tall and strong eunuchs. When they arrived at the Shangfu Bureau, most of the young eunuchs had disappeared, leaving four or five still there.
"Where have all the people died? Aren't you afraid that my wages will be deducted if you skip work to fish?" An Xiaoshan asked a eunuch with a face as black as coal.
"Deputy Manager Huang is sick, and they all went over to see the doctor!" The dark-faced little eunuch looked at the seven or eight eunuchs from the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests behind An Xiaoshan and replied tremblingly.
If you want to live well in the palace, the test is your eyesight. The fact that Manager An can bring the eunuchs from the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests shows everything.
The few young eunuchs who didn't go were very lucky because they were not qualified to go.
An Xiaoshan was happy when he heard this answer. This was a different way to give himself authority, so let's see who can be more powerful than whom today.
"Are you guys so unfilial? Why didn't you go see the sick deputy steward?" An Xiaoshan asked with a smile.
"As for the steward, Deputy Steward Lu will not look down on the young waiters. We will be the stewards from now on." One of the young eunuchs came over and said flatteringly.
"In that case, tell me, why is our deputy steward so courageous?" An Xiaosan found a chair and sat down, chatting with these people.
It turns out that Lu Can has always been in charge of the Shangfu Bureau's accounts, and others can't see or check them clearly. Moreover, the person behind him is the general manager of Life Extension, so no one dares to check the accounts.
Even when Hai Shou was in charge, he set clear boundaries with him and took care of each other's affairs, so as not to infringe on each other.
When An Xiaoshan heard this, wasn't that just right? I was originally going to do it with him, but now he has to do it with the account book as well.
An Xiaoshan, led by the black-faced little eunuch, came to Lu Can's residence. When he saw the good guy, all the little eunuchs from his Shangfu Bureau were here!
These people all lowered their heads when they saw An Xiaoshan, but the gloating and sarcasm in their eyes could not be hidden. They thought An Xiaoshan was here to apologize to Lu Can.
Lu Can also sat on the Grand Master's chair with great dignity, holding a teacup and holding a grape in his hand. He just looked at An Xiaoshan lazily. He believed that without him, the Shang Shangfu Bureau would be in ruins. '
This kid must have found out clearly and came here to apologize to himself. He imagined that An Xiaoshan would be a puppet from now on, and all the black holes he had built over the years would be carried by this guy.
Today, as long as An Xiaoshan puts down his face and says soft words to beg for mercy, he won't go too far and must give him some face.
Otherwise, how could he slip into his own trap in the future, let himself go a hundred steps, and end up taking the blame for himself?
