"Click..."
A moxa velvet and real-yellow match rope was lit, and a thin line of green smoke curled up into the air, endlessly.
"Everything is fine at this time of year, but the damn mosquitoes are too annoying." Eunuch Hou from Xiaoyao Tower waved away a buzzing mosquito and told a young eunuch.
Normally, I couldn't feel the mosquitoes, because there were maids shaking fans on both sides, but now he dismissed all the maids, leaving only him and the little eunuch in the room.
Ever since those two golden balls were crushed into golden cakes by Lin Linyou, Eunuch Hou spent money to make two solid golden balls. They were a bit heavy and he had to worry about losing them, but they should not be crushed anymore. .
"There are no mosquitoes on the treasure ship." The little eunuch lit the mosquito repellent match, put away the fire rope, and came forward to sit opposite Eunuch Hou - being on an equal footing with Eunuch Hou, it seems that the identity of this little eunuch is not simple.
"Dad, I heard that Jin Chang is dead?" the young eunuch asked.
"Yes, even though he died in front of Jin Yiwei, the person who wanted to kill him..." Eunuch Hou lowered his voice, "That's it! It's better not to mention this matter again."
"Alas -" the little eunuch sighed regretfully.
"Why, are you still thinking about what he told you?" Eunuch Hou said, "I told you before, it was an illusion! How can things that are cut grow back?"
The little eunuch said: "That time he showed me his baby. My son really saw it!"
"To put it bluntly, even if it can grow back, the knife maker will have to cut it for you again, unless you don't want to be a eunuch anymore." Eunuch Hou said.
The little eunuch remained speechless, with disappointment on his face.
Eunuch Hou said warmly: "My godfather didn't mean to hit you on purpose. What's wrong with being a eunuch? You are already Zheng He's long-term follower. With him, you have a bright future! Maybe I will still have to count on my godfather in the future." You’re protecting me!”
"My son doesn't dare," said the little eunuch. "My son is extremely satisfied to be able to serve his godfather."
Eunuch Hou waved his hand: "I went to the West with Zheng He this time. Do you have any new experiences? Tell your godfather and I'll listen."
The little eunuch said: "It's pretty much the same as the first time, but the King of Ceylon Mountain was disrespectful and plotted to kill the boat master, and we captured him alive! He's in the palace right now! I don't know how the emperor will deal with it."
The little eunuch was filled with envy when he thought of the sight of normal men such as the Imperial Guard School and sailors on the treasure ship talking about Western women with great joy.
While they were discussing their Western experiences, the door to the room was rudely pushed open with a "bang", and the two eunuchs, one large and one small, were startled.
At first glance, it was a Jin Yiwei.
It looks familiar!
Eunuch Hou subconsciously wanted to hide the two golden balls.
"Lin Baihu, you can come in, why don't you knock on the door?" Eunuch Hou was a little unhappy. After all, there are people above him. If it weren't for the fact that you, the head of Jinyiwei, are on good terms with the King of Han, I wouldn't be so polite to you!
"Next time, definitely next time." Lin Linyou cupped his hands and said with a smile, pulled up a chair, and sat down next to the little eunuch. He stared at his face with his eyes, which made the little eunuch a little nervous and confused. .
Eunuch Hou looked at Lin Linyou, then followed his gaze at the little eunuch, wondering why: "Lin Baihu is here today..."
"What a handsome little father-in-law!" Lin Linyou praised and asked the young eunuch: "Little father-in-law, may I ask your surname?"
"My surname is Hou," said the young eunuch.
"Oh - little monkey father-in-law." Lin Linyou nodded and looked at Eunuch Hou, "New ones?"
"What?" Eunuch Hou asked confused.
"Adopted son...you have so many adopted sons, how worried are you that no one will care for you until you die?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hou was also angry and said in a high-pitched voice: "My sons and I are in love and we are in love with each other. They are willing to recognize me as their foster father. The emperor didn't say anything. You can take care of Lin Baihu." Is it a bit wide?"
"Haha, you're just kidding!" Lin Linyou said with a smile, "Why are you so anxious? What is the surname of your adopted son?"
The little eunuch looked at Eunuch Hou with help and inquiry.
Eunuch Hou lowered his head to sip tea and said quietly: "It doesn't hurt to tell Lin Baihu!"
"The surname is Yue," the young eunuch said.
Really, you can’t find anything even if you step on iron shoes! It's not in vain that I spent the whole morning searching in the palace!
The anger after searching all morning suddenly dissipated. Lin Linyou suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to ask: "What is more?"
"Yuebuqun," the little eunuch said, "Master Baihu, why are you asking these questions? I just came back from the West, I haven't committed anything, right?"
Yue Buqun? ! Lin Linyou was shocked.
"That's not true." After settling down, he asked again, "Don't be nervous... How old are you this year?"
"eleven."
Could it be that he is here again about Jin Chang? Eunuch Hou was also a little nervous.
The surnames and ages match! It seems that it is true that when a person is about to die, his words are good. Jin Chang did not lie to me!
Moreover, judging from their faces, they look a bit familiar!
Lin Lin stood up and said, "I wonder, Mr. Xiaoqunzi, is it inconvenient for me to go meet someone?"
The term "little eunuch" seems to be a patent of the Manchu Dynasty. I don't know if the Ming Dynasty called it this way. I don't know much about it, so there is no way to verify it.
Just call it that! It feels quite cute. Who stipulated that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties could not call Ming Dynasty like this?
"Who do you want to take me to see?" asked the little eunuch Yuebuqun, "I am Zheng Zhengshi's long-term attendant, you can't just take me away!"
"I will take you to meet a girl." Lin Linyou whispered into his ear, "You will definitely be willing to meet her!"
If it were in the past, I would definitely be willing to see him, but now, the treasure is gone...
"I am a disabled person, how could I want to see..." Yue Buqun's words did not matter, but he was interrupted by Lin Linyou pressing his finger to his mouth.
"Does Zheng Zheng know that you are here?" Lin Linyou had no choice but to be a little more aggressive, "Do you also know that you are Eunuch Hou's adopted son?"
"You know, I was recommended by my godfather!" Yue Buqun said loudly without any fear.
But Eunuch Hou said: "Just go with Lord Baihu!"
Lin Linyou clasped his fists at Eunuch Hou: "Thank you, father-in-law!"
"They are all family members, sir, there is no need to be polite!"
…
After leaving Xiaoyao Tower, Lin Linyou said to the young eunuchs Yuebuqun: "If I hadn't known that you and Jin Chang knew each other, I wouldn't have been able to find you!"
If Jin Chang hadn't known the whereabouts of this little eunuch, Lin Linyou would never have thought of going to Xiaoyao Tower to look for him.
"Lin Baihu, who are you taking me to see?" Yue Buqun asked, "My time is tight! I can't leave the palace for too long."
"Well... before I answer your question, can you let me see your butt first?" To be on the safe side, Lin Linyou wanted to confirm whether there were any tire marks on his buttocks.
"Don't make fun of me!" Yue Buqun was annoyed. As a eunuch, he was naturally more sensitive to that part.
"Don't want to? Forget it, it doesn't matter." Lin Lin said, "Let's go! Time is tight, so go faster."
"Can you tell me who to meet?"
"Go see your sister."
"My sister?!" Yue Buqun stopped, obviously very surprised.
Apparently, he has a sister! Otherwise, he wouldn't react like this.
There is a high probability that he is the younger brother Yue Rong has been searching for, and they are inseparable!
Lin Linyou also stopped and looked back at him: "What's wrong?"
"No!" Yue Buqun turned around and left.
Lin Linyou strode forward and pinched his shoulders.
"Ah - it hurts, it hurts, let go, let go..." Yue Buqun cried out in pain.
"It's not up to you whether you want to go or not." Lin Linyou let go, "You can disobey your godfather, but you can't disobey your brother-in-law, right?"
"My brother-in-law? Who is it? Where is he?" Unexpectedly, his sister was already married, and Yue Buqun felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"I am your brother-in-law." Lin Lin said.
"..."
