The banquet was mainly about wine and meat, and Xiao Chen also specially invited music.
The music was playing, the laughter was constant, and the wine was fragrant, making people intoxicated.
All Yilin brothers from one to ten also arrived, as well as the ninety young eunuchs from before, who were also among them.
Today's banquet has no distinction between status and background. Whether it is eunuchs or guards, not all of them get along well.
Regardless of their identities, everyone calls themselves brothers and sisters, smiling broadly.
The little eunuchs looked at the Lin brothers with great envy.
Following Xiao Chen, the Lin brothers are now well-dressed and prosperous.
It was obviously the same starting point before, but now their identities have become different.
After three rounds of drinking, some people's innermost thoughts are revealed unconsciously.
A young eunuch named Wang Yong held up a wine glass, swung his body and landed in front of Xiao Chen, kneeling directly on the ground.
Shocked by his move, Xiao Chen was a little puzzled: "I just drink, why did I just kneel down!"
It was agreed today that there would be no distinction between high and low, but him kneeling down somewhat deviated from the theme of the banquet.
Wang Yong said quickly: "Master Governor, I have been working hard in the palace for many years. Because of my status as a eunuch, I am afraid that I will not be appreciated in my life. In fact, I just want to find a job with you."
"Even if I am a small guard or a prison guard, I feel very honored. Please do it, sir!"
Eunuchs are just lifeless eunuchs outside. Who can think highly of them?
No matter how strong and talented they are, they still have no direction to realize their ambitions.
Just like those poor people who have no money to spend their whole life, they have no way to serve the country.
This is the sorrow and helplessness of the people at the bottom.
This action also instantly attracted the attention of others. Everyone looked at Wang Yong and then at Xiao Chen.
It is indeed strange that he wants to apply for a job as a eunuch.
After all, a eunuch is dying in the palace. No matter how high his position is, he can only be a eunuch.
Moreover, people like them who have no money to manage will have to work hard all their lives without complaining.
More eyes focused on Xiao Chen, seeming to be looking forward to what he would do.
Xiao Chen swung the wine glass slightly, looked at his frightened but expectant look, and suddenly laughed.
With this smile, the atmosphere instantly relaxed.
Everyone was a little confused. Was this smile an agreement?
Xiao Chen said calmly: "Actually, this governor also wants to support you at today's banquet."
He took a slight breath, and then said meaningfully: "This governor has always been protective of others. If you follow me, you will definitely have a good life!"
Others were slightly pleasantly surprised.
Xiao Chen turned his attention to the job seeker again: "Of course, I appreciate your courage and initiative."
"Only those who are self-aware of themselves will bring up this matter. So since you are very confident in your strength, the governor will naturally not treat you badly."
Xiao Chen thought for a moment: "I remember that you are good at hiding your whereabouts, so you can become a bodyguard."
Don't think that he eats, drinks and has fun every day. In fact, he can name the brothers around him and has a certain understanding of their strength.
In fact, even if Wang Yong didn't take the initiative to bring up this matter, Xiao Chen would give him a chance to show off.
But since he said it, let’s consider today as a good start.
Wang Yong did not expect that for the first time in his life, he would succeed in gambling.
He looked at Xiao Chen with tears of gratitude, tears welling up in his eyes, just like the endless flow of a river, and he kept kowtowing to express his thanks.
Xiao Chen quickly stopped him and said: "Hey, don't cry, men don't shed tears easily!"
This sentence gave Wang Yong even more face.
After entering the palace, who else would call them men?
With the precedent of Wang Yong, the people with lofty ideals present instantly became excited, even higher than the previous atmosphere of drinking and eating meat.
Another skinny little eunuch boldly stepped forward and knelt on the ground.
He kowtowed repeatedly, his voice slightly trembling, "Lord Governor, I don't want an official position, I just want to learn my skills from you, and I hope you will fulfill me!"
Xiao Chen looked at him and remembered that this little eunuch was called Chen Bafang for two years.
He was thin and had a sallow complexion, as if he was malnourished.
But when I saw him before, he didn't seem like this...
Xiao Chen asked thoughtfully: "Why did you suddenly lose weight, but what happened?"
Mentioning the sadness, Chen Bafang beat his head, his eyes filled with sadness.
He said bluntly: "There was a fire in the East Factory before, and a young eunuch who was responsible for cleaning could not escape the flames. He was my roommate..."
He was obviously nearby at that time. If he had the ability to be as light as a swallow like Xiao Chen, he might be able to save people.
It's a pity that there is nothing I can do in the end, and I can only watch him ask for help in the fire.
After hearing Xiao Chen's generous speech just now, the hope in his heart was instantly rekindled.
He wants to improve himself and ensure that when encountering such a thing, he has the ability to save people and make up for his original regrets!
Xiao Chen didn't know about this, but seeing Chen Bafang's pitiful look, he was already quite moved.
No matter from which perspective, at least he is loyal.
Xiao Chen said: "If you want to do things by my side, you have to be very careful and don't let sadness ruin things. Do you understand?"
Chen Bafang nodded repeatedly: "Master Governor, don't worry."
"I have admired you for a long time. Even if there is no harm from my roommate's life, I would like to serve you by your side."
"I thought that I had a humble status and would never have a chance in my life, but until today you said such generous words, so I have the courage to ask for grace!"
His eyes trembled with indescribable excitement and expectation.
Xiao Chen was slightly embarrassed by him. He was so complimentary and adoring in his eyes. Although it could be seen that he was sincere, it was still embarrassing.
"Okay, then you can stay in Dongchang!"
These eunuchs were originally just handymen in the palace. Before I came to Dongchang, they were all brothers who knew each other.
He admires himself so much, so how can he live up to their enthusiasm?
After thinking about it, Xiao Chen said: "You reminded me that the young eunuch died in the fire and the seat was vacant. Why don't you take his place?"
Chen Bafang was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, his eyes almost filled with tears.
Others were also ready to make a move, Xiao Chen saw it all, but said: "Today is mainly about banquets, eating and drinking."
"The Governor knows that you are all ambitious people. Anyone who is willing can come to my report tomorrow and I will personally train you!"
