In the early morning, the Cao Chamber of Commerce just opened its doors.
A few guys were sweeping.
"Cao An accepts the order!"
A young chamberlain wearing the uniform of the inner palace came to the door, followed by six Imperial Guards on horseback and with golden swords.
The two guys were so frightened that they dropped their brooms.
"Meet...meet the noble man."
The young chamberlain was very satisfied with this reaction. He was reserved and dignified: "Where is your husband? The Queen Mother's decree... come and greet him quickly!"
"Yes Yes!"
The guy ran in in a hurry.
But he suddenly froze in place, his face looking particularly uncomfortable.
The young chamberlain's eyes were slightly cold and he scolded: "What's the matter? Hurry up and go!"
He felt that these unscrupulous people in the city were just a bunch of rubes, and they must have been frightened by the majesty of his body, which made him appear at a loss.
"Noble..."
The boy turned back and lowered his head: "I dare not deceive the noble man. The husband of a certain family is not here."
Not here?
The little chamberlain looked up at the plaque.
It’s the Cao Chamber of Commerce—that’s right!
The young chamberlain's face gradually became serious: "Then where is he? Even the Queen Mother dares to neglect the Queen Mother's decree... Could it be that your husband has the courage of a leopard?"
The man hesitated a few times.
He knew where Cao An was, but... he couldn't tell!
"Be bold!"
The little chamberlain scolded.
The waiter was frightened and said hurriedly: "Langjun stayed at Wanyue Tower last night and hasn't come back yet."
"Where is Wanyue Tower?"
The young chamberlain looked back at the Imperial Guards.
Several people also looked at him with particularly rich expressions...
Being stared at by several grown men with weird looks, the little waiter immediately became angry: "It depends on what someone does, just tell me! If you delay the delivery of the order, someone will be punished!"
"This... Wang Naiguan doesn't know that Wanyue Tower is actually that kind of place."
"What kind?"
"It's just that kind of thing! Men and women are having fun in there, drinking, singing, and they're not ashamed..."
The young chamberlain's face gradually darkened, and he gritted his teeth and uttered two words.
"Borthello!"
There are only two kinds of people who hate brothels most in the world: one is women, and the other is eunuchs!
puff!
Some people couldn't help it and laughed.
You asked a eunuch to go to a brothel to find someone. If word spread about this, would people laugh to death?
"Find him quickly!"
The corners of the little chamberlain's mouth twitched, feeling that his young and fragile heart had been hit hard.
"Yes Yes!"
The guy didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and ran out.
…
After a while of tea, Cao An came slowly.
A robe was still floating on his arms, and Jian Yuerong was chasing after him with small steps, hurriedly arranging his clothes and hair...
"Are you Cao An?"
The little chamberlain looked at the young man in front of him.
Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were messy, and there were three fierce-looking servants around her, and there was also a petite little maid.
This is a perfect dandy configuration!
Cao An smiled and nodded, and said politely: "Yes, young citizen Cao An, I have seen an angel!"
"Haha, I'm pretty good at talking..."
When the young chamberlain heard this, his expression softened a little.
He is a messenger sent by the Heavenly Family, so he naturally deserves the title of 'angel'. (This is an explanation, believe it or not!)
"Your Majesty said you were living a hard life, but I think you are... very nourishing!"
"Yes, it's all thanks to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother that the people of Song Dynasty can have enough food and clothing!"
Cao An felt that this young eunuch seemed to have some inexplicable hostility towards him.
But I can't tell why...
But since you are from the palace, it is always right to be polite.
Although this group of people has no problems, their energy cannot be underestimated.
"There is no need to say flattery..."
The young chamberlain looked at him with a nonchalant look, and took out a piece of bright yellow silk cloth from his arms: "Cao An accepts the order!"
"Cao An, the grassroots man, accepts the order!"
Cao An slowly knelt down, followed by Arhat and others.
In the Song Dynasty, there was no need to kneel down to receive orders.
But Cao An is now an ordinary citizen with no official title, so he naturally has to pay homage.
"By the decree of the Queen Mother...I do this!"
The young chamberlain read out the imperial edict with his head held high, and glanced sideways at Cao An: "Although the Cao family has been demoted, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother miss the suffering of the Cao family and cannot bear to see the descendants of the Cao family displaced... This is a gift, do you understand?"
Cao An also nodded in cooperation, took the imperial edict and stood up, saying: "Yes, thank you Your Majesty and the Queen Mother for your kindness."
The little waiter stopped talking nonsense, turned around and left.
"Hey, angel, please wait..."
Cao An stopped him with a smile and signaled the people around him to step back.
"Anything else?"
The little chamberlain looked at him impatiently.
Cao An smiled and took out a pure gold Buddha statue from his arms and stuffed it into the sleeve of the chamberlain without leaving any trace.
"When we first met, I didn't know what Angel would like. This is Cao's idea, and I hope Angel will accept it."
Being polite when meeting people is one of the necessary strategies in officialdom.
The golden Buddha is heavy.
After a little consideration, you will know that it must be worth a lot of money!
"this……"
The little chamberlain's eyes lit up.
He was just a middle-lower person in the palace. He usually fought with the palace people. How could he have seen such a big deal!
"You are a servant of the Tian family, isn't this bad?"
The little chamberlain said hesitantly: "If outsiders see it, then someone will be in trouble."
Cao An smiled in a low voice and said: "This golden Buddha comes from the Fanlou Baozhai Pavilion. If the angels find it an eyesore, they can exchange it for cash at any time... and these big brothers of the Forbidden Army will also be rewarded for their hard work later." .”
There are many people in the palace.
Suddenly a golden Buddha appears, and it will definitely be talked about.
Besides, for the six accompanying Imperial Guards, when everyone goes out to do things together, there must be some benefit, otherwise they will be hated by others.
"Cao Sijian is thoughtful."
The little waiter finally smiled and completely forgot about the hurt he had just suffered.
"There, I will have to rely on angels to take care of me from now on."
Cao An affectionately took the little waiter's wrist and smiled in a low voice: "Cao has nothing else but these gold and silver pickled items. If you can find any use for Cao in the future, just ask him Just open your mouth!"
"Easy to say, easy to say."
The young chamberlain smiled, nodded and said: "Before I went out, I heard that Cao Sijian was ruthless, treacherous and mean. But when I saw him today... what happened! These unruly people are all bullshit!"
"Haha, no!"
Cao An also laughed and feigned anger: "This person is famous for a lot of things! When you are rich, people will naturally be jealous... There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm someone!"
"Haha, that's okay. Let's talk later..."
The little chamberlain smiled and said goodbye.
Cao An held him back.
"Cao Sijian, is there anything else?"
"It's not a big deal..."
Cao An pointed to the imperial edict in his hand and asked: "How dare you ask the angel, what is the position of 'Admonishment'... exactly? What is the monthly salary, and are there any holidays?"
"..."
The little waiter was stunned on the spot.
Co-authoring is a rich stick!
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The so-called admonishment position means: admonishment, warning, and correction. The official position starts from the seventh grade, and the annual salary is about 170 guan."
Just that little?
Cao An regretted a little, feeling that the golden Buddha just given was too much.
If I had known this, a golden bean would have been enough...
Seeing his indifferent expression, the young chamberlain thought that he disliked his low official position, and his face fell down.
"Although the rank of Sijian is not high, not everyone can be qualified for it."
He lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Cao Sijian, let me tell you this... When Prime Minister Lu entered the court, he also stayed in this position... That's it for now. I hope you understand."
"Yes, yes, thank you Angel for the tip!"
