Wei Zhongxian wiped the sweat from his palms as he walked out of Qianqing Palace.
"Daddy, are you staying in the palace tonight or going out of the palace?" the young eunuch on the side asked respectfully.
A high-status eunuch like Wei Zhongxian has a special residence in the palace and his own house outside the palace. He also carries a badge that allows him to enter and leave the palace.
"Get out of the palace." Wei Zhongxian said.
The little eunuch next to him took a step forward and stretched out his arm for Wei Zhongxian to support him.
Wei Zhongxian, who had walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned his head and said to the little eunuch beside him: "Our family is not going out of the palace anymore. You can go out of the palace with our family's badge, and when you see the person with the tiger-character flag, Our family accepted the things you said."
"Everything is done according to godfather's orders." The little eunuch said with a humble voice.
As the little eunuch who serves Wei Zhongxian, he will naturally do whatever Wei Zhongxian says, so that he can have a better future in the future.
Since Wang An lost power, the best way for the young eunuchs in the Forbidden City to get ahead was to seek refuge with Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian rubbed the finger on the thumb of his other hand and said, "Tell the people in the Tiger Flag that our family likes this Ban finger very much."
"My child understands." The little eunuch glanced at the ring on Wei Zhongxian's finger.
The ring was handed over to Wei Zhongxian through his hand.
Wei Zhongxian walked away.
The little eunuch took the badge to leave the palace and left the palace alone.
Not far outside Bauhinia City, there are many small sedans carried by two people. Usually, eunuchs or maids in the palace like to ride in such small sedans when they leave the palace.
When they arrived outside the palace, the young eunuch called for a small sedan chair. He sat on it and asked the bearers to carry the sedan chair away from the palace.
The two of them carried the small sedan as it swayed away, and finally disappeared into the flow of people on the street.
The sedan came to a stop in front of a leather goods shop on the street.
"My lord, we have arrived." The sedan bearer walking in front said respectfully to the little eunuch in the sedan.
The little eunuch lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and walked out of the sedan chair.
He looked up at the cover outside the shop in front of him, then turned back to the bearer and said, "You guys wait here, you will take our family back later."
"Don't worry, noble man. The young ones are waiting here and won't go there." The bearer nodded and bowed.
The little eunuch lifted up the hem of his clothes, stepped up the steps, and entered the fur shop.
The weather is getting warmer, and there are not many customers coming to the leather goods shop. The clerk in the shop is lying on the cabinet in boredom, with his free hand moving the abacus beads back and forth.
"Eunuch Li, why are you free to come here today!" The shopkeeper saw the young eunuch walking into the shop and greeted him with a smile on his face. He then turned back to the waiter on the counter and said, "Go and make something for Eunuch Li." Tea." TV mobile terminal/
The boy dropped his abacus and hurried to make tea.
"Eunuch Li, please come inside." The shopkeeper raised his hand and made an inviting gesture.
The little eunuch followed the leather goods shopkeeper into a room on the side.
The furnishings in the room are simple. There are a few chairs and a wooden table placed against the wall, which is used to entertain guests or talk about things. It is considered a private space.
This was not the first time for the little eunuch. As soon as he entered the room, he walked directly to the main seat and sat down.
At this time, the waiter in the shop put a cup of hot tea in the little eunuch's hand and said respectfully: "Father-in-law, please have tea."
After putting the hot tea on the table, the man left the room.
"Shopkeeper Wang, please sit down too!" The little eunuch pinched his fingers and nodded towards Wang.
Wang walked to the little eunuch's seat and sat down slowly.
The little eunuch picked up the teacup on the table, looked at Wang Zizi and said, "I can tell you proprietor that my godfather has solved the matter for you."
"The common people are here to thank Official Wei for my proprietor." Wang stood up on his own and bowed his hands towards the palace.
The little eunuch blew the hot air from the tea cup and said, "Thanks alone are not sincere enough. My godfather has been embarrassed in front of the emperor because of your affairs."
"Not long ago, a batch of Dongzhu came to the shop. The young one picked out ten high-quality ones, and asked Eunuch Li to bring them to Senior Official Wei." Wang Zizi said with a smile.
The little eunuch smiled and held Wang Ziqing a little apart with his hand, and said, "You are sensible and know how to honor your godfather. It is not in vain that your godfather stepped forward to settle such a big matter for you."
"Because of the matter about the Tiger Flag, I bothered Eunuch Li to make a special trip. This is a small gesture. Please accept it." Wang took out a one hundred tael meeting ticket from his sleeve and put it in the hands of the young eunuch. on the table.
The little eunuch glanced down and did not go to get it, but said: "My godfather really likes the ring ring you gave me last time. He wears it on his hand every day and can't bear to take it off."
"I understand," Wang said on his own. "Recently, the shop received a fine white jade finger ring. I also asked Eunuch Li to bring it to Senior Official Wei."
"Our family just likes your cheerfulness." The little eunuch then picked up the meeting ticket on the table and put it into his sleeve.
Wang Zizi smiled and said, "As long as the official Wei is satisfied."
"Don't worry, you tiger character flags are so filial, how can your godfather be dissatisfied." The little eunuch picked up the bowl and took a sip.
The young eunuch had to return to the palace after finishing his errands, and did not stay long.
When he came out of the leather goods shop, he had a wooden box wrapped in cloth in his hand.
The two bearers who had carried him were waiting outside the door.
Wang himself put the young eunuch on the sedan chair, watched the sedan disappear in the crowd, and then returned to the shop.
Calling the waiter, he said: "You keep an eye on the shop while I go to the backyard."
After saying that, he entered the back door of the shop.
The back door leads to the yard behind the shop, as well as several main rooms and side rooms.
When I came to the east room of the main house, there was a young and strong man sitting in the room.
"Take some time to clean up, go back to Datong, and tell our lord that Pei Hong's matter has been settled by Wei Zhongxian." Wang Zi said to the young and strong man in the room.
The information that Pei Hong sent from Yang Hewei did not escape the eyes of the secret agents of the Tiger Flag.
While the zhezi was still on its way to the capital, the messenger from the Tiger Character Flag had already arrived in the capital and told the news to Wang Zizi, who was in the capital.
"I'll send the news back right away." The man stood up.
Wang himself sent the person outside the courtyard gate before returning to the shop.
After the little eunuch on the other side left the leather goods shop, he did not return to the imperial city. Instead, he went to Wei Zhongxian's house outside the city.
He placed the ten Dongzhu in Wei Zhongxian's house, but only kept the ring finger on his body and took it back to the palace.
The palace guard knew Wei Zhongxian's token, so he didn't make it too difficult for the young eunuch. He simply searched it and put it into the palace.
The little eunuch who returned to the palace went all the way to Wei Zhongxian's residence in the palace.
Young eunuchs with ordinary status can only squeeze many people into one big bed. Senior eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian have a special courtyard to live in.
Although the courtyard is not very big, it is many times stronger than other eunuchs and maids in the palace.
