Mr. Rui was sitting in the living room drinking tea.
He was wearing a scarlet third-grade imperial eunuch, and his expression was reserved and calm.
The tea photographed in the tea cup is not the Xinyang Maojian commonly used by Guo Mansion to entertain guests, but the Longjing tea from West Lake. The light green tea leaves tumbling in the bright yellow tea soup are even more pleasing to the eye.
Eunuch Rui did not drink all the tea in the cup.
Not only did he not drink it all, he even drank for a long time before he even drank half of it.
Because he is waiting for someone.
At this time, Guo Sheng walked in quickly and said eagerly: "It turns out to be Eunuch Rui. Eunuch Rui did not notify Mr. Guo in advance, so that Mr. Guo neglected my father-in-law. I am really sorry, I am really sorry."
Saying this, Guo Sheng stepped forward, took out a green round jade pendant from his sleeve, and quietly stuffed it into Eunuch Rui's right hand: "Eunuch, I work hard for the Holy Father. It's really hard work."
"We ministers don't have to work hard, it's the Holy One who does the hard work." Eunuch Rui also calmly retracted his right hand and put the jade pendant into his sleeve. Although he didn't see it, the jade pendant was cold to the touch and as delicate as a sheep. Fat is the best jade material. Even though Rui Gonggongjing worked in the imperial palace and was used to seeing the best quality products from the royal family, such quality is still very rare.
Besides, what belongs to the emperor belongs to the emperor, and what belongs to you belongs to you.
Despite this, Duke Rui still seemed very high-sounding when he spoke.
"The Holy One cares about the country, the country, and the people of Zhou Dynasty. It is our duty and loyalty to share his worries and solve problems for him."
"Yes, yes, yes." Guo Sheng said repeatedly, and then sat next to Eunuch Rui: "Eunuch Rui, are you satisfied with the tea this time?"
"I'm interested." Eunuch Rui sighed and said, "Guo Shaodong's family actually knows that our family came from Hangzhou."
"I also heard that Eunuch Rui has not been back for many years. In the past few years, there was a shortage of weaving houses in the south of the Yangtze River, but in the end, due to some strange combination of circumstances, Eunuch Rui was not allowed to go back." Guo Sheng said warmly, for these big people The information about the eunuchs must be carefully investigated every bit. After all, they are the real people in the palace. Everyone can look down on them, but their every move, every word and every deed represents the most important person in the palace. The Wanshou Emperor in the palace.
"So I specially ordered to prepare the best Mingqian Longjing for you. I wonder if it will relieve your homesickness?"
"To be honest, when our family entered the palace, let alone such good tea, we couldn't even drink tea foam." Eunuch Rui smiled, raised the tea cup and took a sip, then smacked his tongue and savored it carefully: " To be honest, there is no way to appreciate the local accent and flavor that I don’t have in the first place.”
"Now our family is just an old slave working for the Holy One, just to relieve the Holy One's worries."
Saying this, Eunuch Rui put down his tea cup and looked at Guo Sheng: "You must already know the purpose of my coming here?"
"Guo is stupid." Guo Sheng shook his head and said, "Why did Eunuch Rui visit my humble home?"
"You are not stupid, you are smart." Eunuch Rui smiled, looked at Guo Sheng and said, "But you are pretending to be stupid, and our family cannot accompany you to pretend to be stupid."
"Before the spring, you made a promise to give the emperor a few things in the autumn. We looked at them eagerly. Some of them were particularly valuable, and we didn't dare to tell him about them."
"The truth, you should also understand, is that these things are given to us by God. They can only come by chance. If they are there this year, they will be gone next year."
"If you had informed Long Live Lord in advance and Long Live Lord had taken care of it, then you wouldn't be able to deliver it in the fall and we wouldn't have found a place to make up for it. If Long Live Lord were blamed, of course you would be unable to eat and carry around, and neither would we. "
Eunuch Rui spoke slowly and calmly, with a soft and sinister voice: "Look, it's past June now, and it's going to be the beginning of autumn soon. Things are imminent."
"And recently I heard that there is some unrest in Guo Shaodong's family."
"Didn't you always make trouble with Mr. Zhao Hengji and Mr. Zhao in the past two days? In the past two days, I heard that there were thieves in Bianliang City."
"I just want to know."
"There is nothing wrong with the things you plan to send to Lord Long Live."
"If there is nothing wrong, then we will send the list to Mr. Long live as soon as possible. Mr. Long live has been in a bad mood recently. Eunuch Yuan has already come down. We must quickly find something happy for Mr. Long live to do to make him happy. "
"If something goes wrong, we can modify the order. Now if an error is reported, it will be a matter of losing your head. You will find someone to kill yourself."
Eunuch Rui looked at Guo Sheng and said quietly, "Don't drag us along."
Guo Sheng smiled calmly: "Eunuch Rui, what are you talking about?"
"The crime of deceiving the emperor is a capital crime. No matter how brave Mr. Guo is, he would not dare to do so."
"Yes, there were thieves in Bianliang a few days ago, and some short-sighted people did come and rob my goods. Guo also asked a friend to check."
"It won't be long before the truth comes out."
"After all, our Guo family has been based in Bianliang for more than a hundred years. If we dare to disturb Tai Sui, we must be impatient."
"But." Guo Sheng said a "but" softly, his eyes fixed on Eunuch Rui who was wearing a gorilla robe: "As for the tribute to the Holy Emperor, I must have 10,000 pieces of it. Those things are now in my warehouse. Leave it alone, I guarantee it will be safe.”
What Guo Sheng said was so true and false that it was difficult to tell.
It's true that his goods were really robbed, and he also went to Zhao Hengji's place to cause trouble in the past two days, and he did ask Fang Bie to help him find out the truth about these things, especially to find those things. 's whereabouts.
But the fake thing is that those few auspicious items were not lost and were still carefully stored deep in the warehouse.
It’s really hard to tell whether this is true or false.
"That would be really great." Eunuch Rui said with a hint of joy and anger.
"This way we can go back and tell Long Live Lord that there will be great events this year."
"As the saying goes, if you are able to achieve peace and prosperity, heaven will bestow a great responsibility on this person. This is true."
Saying this, Eunuch Rui picked up the tea bowl and took another sip, then stood up.
"Let's go."
Guo Sheng was shocked.
He could only pretend to be confused and said, "Father-in-law is leaving? I'll see him off."
"Who said I was leaving?" Eunuch Rui looked at Guo Sheng. There was no beard on his fair face, and even his Adam's apple was not obvious.
There was a little gloominess and more calmness in his expression.
"I said I wanted to see those auspicious things."
"Xiangrui is in Guo Shaodong's warehouse."
"Dare you ask Guo Shaodong's family to lead the way?"
"Let our family move and take a look?"
Guo Sheng stood there, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning.
