Duan Wenjun was slightly surprised to see Eunuch Li waiting for him at the city gate.
He had met Eunuch Li several times.
I still have a good impression of this old eunuch in the palace.
Of course, he also knew that Eunuch Li was the eldest princess, so he naturally did not dare to neglect him.
The moment Mo Shoucheng pulled the reins of the carriage, Duan Wenjun jumped out of the carriage and walked towards him, "Eunuch Li, long time no see!"
"I have seen Lord Duan!" Unlike before in Wangjiang, Eunuch Li behaved very humbly this time, bending down and giving a big salute to Duan Wenjun.
Duan Wenjun hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Eunuch Li, with such a great gift, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Wenjun?"
After speaking, he held Eunuch Li's arm and pulled him up. "Eunuch Li, are you waiting for me?"
"The second young master has entered the palace. The eldest princess asked our family to come and welcome Duke Duan." Eunuch Li replied.
"If Eunuch Li wants to find Wenjun, all he needs to do is send a servant to inform me." Although he knew it was the eldest princess's intention and Eunuch Li had to obey, Duan Wenjun pretended to be surprised, "It's autumn now. , it was very windy and cold at the gate of the city, my father-in-law quickly got in the car to take shelter."
After speaking, Duan Wenjun supported Eunuch Li and walked towards his carriage.
Eunuch Li was stunned for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on his face.
The little eunuchs nearby were stunned when they saw Duan Wenjun actually pulling Eunuch Li towards the carriage.
Even the soldiers guarding the city gate showed surprised expressions.
The distance from the palace to the city gate is not short.
Although Eunuch Li is just a eunuch, his weight in the palace is not light.
Naturally, he also came out in a carriage.
Just now, in order to prevent the carriage from blocking the city gate, Eunuch Li ordered the young eunuch below to stop it at the entrance of the alley next to the street.
Although his carriage was not as good as the carriages of the princes and concubines in the palace, nor the carriages of the high officials in the court, it was much more spacious and luxurious than Duan Wenjun's carriage.
When the convoy came towards the city gate just now, everyone thought it was just a caravan from a rich family.
However, no one expected that it was Duan Wenjun’s motorcade.
During this period, Duan Wenjun's reputation was too loud in the capital.
Although Lin Jingsheng's academic performance at the Chinese Academy of Sciences was not very good, his ability to increase his worth was not weak.
Taking advantage of Duan Wenjun's enthusiasm for reading the Twenty-Two-Character Mantra, and relying on the constant news coming from Wangjiang, he has been controlling the trend of people's after-dinner conversations in the capital.
He also made himself a frequent visitor to young ladies in major mansions.
Nowadays, from high-ranking officials to peddlers, almost everyone knows Duan Wenjun's name.
Originally, after Lin Jingsheng added some fuel and jealousy to make Duan Wenjun's story magical, people were very curious about him.
Not long ago, Emperor Shun conferred another title on Duan Wenjun.
This is the second person from Dashun, and the first civilian nobleman conferred by the Holy Master today.
It made everyone's curiosity about this new lord become even more intense.
Just now, even Eunuch Li, the celebrity next to the eldest princess, paid him such a great courtesy and respect...
However, if he is a lord, he is also a foreign minister.
What's more, he doesn't have an official position yet.
It seems a little inappropriate to ride in the same car as Eunuch Li.
Seeing Eunuch Li being pulled by him to the carriage, a young eunuch next to him hurriedly tried to stop him.
Unexpectedly, Eunuch Li waved his hand, "You go back first! I will follow Lord Duan's carriage and enter the palace together!"
After saying that, under the surprised eyes of everyone, he stepped onto Duan Wenjun's carriage.
Moreover, what shocked everyone was that he was not sitting down cross-legged.
Instead, he knelt down beside Cuiping.
In Dashun, only servants or domestic slaves kneel down when sitting at the same table with their master.
For example, Cuiping is sitting on her knees at this moment.
Of course, she would only follow these etiquette when outsiders were present.
Eunuch Li was so humble to the new lord, and some people seemed to have noticed something.
Everyone's eyes fell on Duan Wenjun at this moment.
However, Duan Wenjun didn't notice anything strange and seemed completely unaware of it.
He got into the carriage with a smile and sat down next to Eunuch Li. "The carriage is a bit small. I feel sorry for you, Eunuch."
The curtains of the carriage were lowered, and under people's gaze, the motorcade moved slowly.
Naturally, people with good intentions left one after another and told the news to many people who were watching here.
In the carriage, Eunuch Li smiled faintly and spoke first, "Master Duan, it's getting late now and our family has been out for a while. We'd better hurry into the palace and don't keep the eldest princess waiting too long. "
"Ah? What are you waiting for for me, Princess?" Duan Wenjun was stunned when he heard this, "Last time..."
However, he immediately thought of what Chai Jingyun told him last time.
Duan Daxiong was poisoned, and it seemed that he was poisoned in the palace of the eldest princess.
Moreover, he stayed with the eldest princess to detoxify.
The palace is the home of Emperor Shun.
Except for Emperor Shun's family, it seems that no man can live in it.
Duan Wenjun was very strange at that time.
But Chai Jingyun refused to elaborate, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After all, if this kind of thing goes wrong, it will also have something to do with the dignity of the royal family.
Asking too many questions is not a good idea.
Maybe, even asking about the crime of decapitation...
Therefore, he subconsciously stopped speaking.
Eunuch Li raised his head and gave him a meaningful look, obviously aware of it.
However, it did not point out that "ever since we said goodbye to Wangjiang, the eldest princess has missed Lord Duan very much. No, as soon as the second young master said that Lord Duan had arrived, she asked me to come out to greet him."
"This is really a trouble for my father-in-law!" Duan Wenjun said as he handed over the five hundred taels of silver notes. "I really feel sorry for my father-in-law to have to wait for Wenjun in the wind for so long."
"Master Duan, you can't do this." Eunuch Li hurriedly refused, "How can our family ask for rewards from the Duke every time?"
"Eunuch Li, what you said is wrong!" Suddenly, Duan Wenjun's face turned stern. "In Wenjun's heart, you are an elder. How can this money be called a reward?"
"Besides, my father-in-law is the person who serves His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and Wenjun has always respected the father-in-law in his heart." Seeing Eunuch Li stunned, he continued, "My father-in-law just waited in the wind for so long. Wenjun just wanted to express something. I just want to invite my father-in-law to have a cup of tea with me to warm up."
"In that case, our family would like to thank Lord Duan!" Eunuch Li's face suddenly burst into laughter, he took the banknote and put it into his sleeve.
Eunuch Li wanted to bring Duan Wenjun into the palace, so Duan Wenjun naturally couldn't refuse.
So, he gave instructions to Lin Shuer, asking her to help lead the team to settle in the Lin family yard.
Lin Shuer naturally had no objection.
The whole team has lived there, which proves that Duan Wenjun will definitely not dislike the dilapidation of the Lin family yard.
Of the huge team, only this carriage was left heading towards the palace.
Mo Shoucheng was still driving the car, but only Duan Wenjun and Eunuch Li were sitting in the car.
Cuiping was also sent to the Lin family's yard by Duan Wenjun.
Eunuch Li turned to look at Duan Wenjun and smiled and said, "We haven't seen you for a while, Lord Duan has grown strong again."
"Recently, I ate two more bowls of rice at night. I don't know if I am strong or not, but I have gained weight." Duan Wenjun said with a smile.
"Fat, it's better to be fatter!" Eunuch Li smiled and replied, "The fatter the person, the more blessed he will be, just like your father..."
Eunuch Li's words stopped abruptly at this point.
