"ah…"
Seeing that Xiuying had handed the peeled orange to him, Wang Jinghong opened his mouth without hesitation, ready to swallow it in one bite.
Seeing this, Xiuying had no choice but to break the orange in her hand into several segments and feed it to his mouth in batches with her own hands.
Her eyes were averted, her whole body was trembling with fear, and she didn't dare to look at him.
But he took the opportunity to grab her delicate hand and whispered:
"Tomorrow, you can move to live with me."
"???"
Xiuying was terrified and struggled hard.
The orange in his hand rolled to the ground and overturned the fruit plate.
When Wang Jinghong saw this, he let go of her hand boredly and his face turned pale.
She took the opportunity to shrink her head, stood up and took two steps back, looking at him with a sad face.
This girl challenged his bottom line.
She didn't pay any attention to him, the chief eunuch who had the power of life and death.
His tone instantly turned cold, and he said grimly:
"What? Do you think I am a eunuch and cannot do human affairs?"
Xiuying didn't know how to answer.
She stared at her toes silently, feeling very resistant.
With her temperament, she would rather die than surrender.
The pain in his body was far less than the embarrassment caused by the other party's dislike of him, and the pain in his heart was like being stabbed with needles.
He was furious.
Wang Jinghong was so angry that he rolled over and pulled at the wound behind him. The pain made him grin and sweat.
"Listen, don't let me tell you a second time. Move here obediently tomorrow, otherwise, your life will be worse than death."
The Chief Superintendent, who had been smiling and acting cute just now, now had a fierce look in his eyes.
What he hates most in his life is that others think he is a eunuch.
Especially women.
At this time, he will lose his mind.
Angels and devils are just a thought away.
…
When Xiuying returned to Lefang's dormitory in confusion, there was no one there. Yuegui had not returned from the party.
She threw herself on the quilt and cried loudly.
She lamented why her life was so miserable.
Not to mention the first day, there was no place to even settle down.
She had been crying for an unknown amount of time. She looked in the bronze mirror and saw that both of her eyes were extremely red and swollen.
Once again she thought of death.
But she saw the bottle of gold ointment placed next to the bronze mirror.
This was given to her by Mr. Xu.
She rushed forward, held it to her heart, and burst into tears.
There is a voice in my heart calling:
Xiuying, don’t just think about death, think about the family who died tragically.
Now, only he can save you!
…
The Ming Dynasty was a very strange feudal dynasty.
For example, the vacation system for officials in the Ming Dynasty had the fewest vacation days among all feudal dynasties.
One day off for bathing every ten days is called ten days off.
Officials are still on rotation and must not delay their duties.
Of course, officials also have collective holidays.
Major festivals include New Year's Eve, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Qingming Festival, Winter Solstice, and birthdays of emperors and queens.
The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were also pitiful.
On the contrary, he was even more harsh and miserable towards the ministers of the DPRK.
During the Hongwu Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang's time, ministers had their heads pinned to their waistbands all day long, and they had to explain their funeral arrangements to their families before going to court.
These are all bad rules set by Lao Zhu, a rustic.
It is probably Zhu Yuanzhang who wants the horse to run but not eat grass and think about good things all day long.
His high-pressure campaign against corruption resulted in the more officials he killed, the more corrupt he became.
It seemed like God was against him.
Zhu Di is much better than his father in this regard, especially when it comes to official salaries, he is a lot more liberal.
Let’s talk about Xu Qin.
He was indeed very busy, and it was not until New Year's Eve that he could rest. He accompanied his father, mother and other extended family members to have a New Year's Eve dinner together.
The night of vigil in Xu's ancestral hall.
He just took a nap, and he had to enter the palace before the fifth watch on the first day of the new year.
Fengtian Temple.
Listen to His Majesty the Emperor's New Year's Day message.
This year is even more special for all the subjects of the Ming Dynasty.
This is New Year's Day in the first year of Yongle.
The first and second days of the first lunar month were all busy in the palace, congratulating the emperor and his ministers.
A wide range of poetry readings, poetry sessions, etc.
It mainly praises the new atmosphere of the Yongle Dynasty and looks forward to a better future.
Of course, we must also praise His Majesty the wise Emperor.
Finally, I am in the third year of junior high school, and I have to receive relatives and friends from the family at my house.
Because his father was grounded and paralyzed, he was undoubtedly the master of Wei Guogong's mansion.
Damn it, I'm so exhausted after the day, I might as well be more comfortable in the yamen.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Xu Qin arrived at Zhan Shifu in the East Palace early in the morning.
He was afraid of meeting those visiting relatives to pay New Year's greetings.
At the beginning of the year, he merged the agencies of the General Administration Department and the East Palace Zhanshifu.
He works in the East Palace.
It is far away from the administrative area of the imperial court and is extremely quiet. Most people cannot even enter the East Palace gate without permission.
Regarding the memorials in the General Affairs Department, the Councilor Wu Yong should be sorted out first, and only the important ones should be confirmed by him.
This wise man Wu Yong really regarded himself as a young envoy. He worked very seriously and worked hard, which greatly reduced Xu Qin's workload.
Therefore, people have huge potential, the key lies in how to tap and induce it.
It is said that when Xu Qin entered the official room of Zhan Shifu's Yamen, his subordinates had already brewed a pot of strong tea and placed it on the desk.
A pile of documents for review have been neatly classified and placed on the desk.
Near noon, Wu Yong took the General Affairs Bureau's chariot and entered the Meridian Gate from Huangwai City.
There are several piles of memorials in the car that need to be dealt with by Mr. Xu.
When the official train arrived outside the main gate of the East Palace, they saw a young palace maid kneeling on the snow on the roadside.
A thick layer of snow covered his body.
It was clear at a glance that the palace maid had been kneeling at the main entrance of the East Palace for at least more than an hour.
"what happened?"
Wu Yong stopped the official carriage and asked the guard.
"Master Wu, this little palace lady said she wanted to see Master Xu, but she has no evidence. Master Xu is a busy man, so I don't dare to disturb him."
"I didn't expect this little palace maid to be very stubborn. She is kneeling here, saying she is waiting for Mr. Xu to come out."
Damn it, what kind of show is this?
Wu Yong was still very vigilant, he was afraid that the King of Han and the others were digging holes and doing some tricks.
"Have you asked her what she wants from Mr. Xu?"
"I asked, but she just didn't say anything." The guard also looked helpless.
"Damn it, I'm kneeling at the entrance to the east palace. What do other people think is happening when they see you?"
Wu Yong was particularly unhappy with the swearing. He glanced at the palace maid who was kneeling in the snow, her face turned purple from the cold, and said to the guard:
"Hurry and help her into the guard box and wait. I will go in and call Mr. Xu to see how he will deal with it."
"As commanded."
The guard came over and asked Xiuying to get up and enter the guard box.
But at this moment she couldn't stand up at all.
She was frozen.
There was no other way, so the guard called another companion, and the two of them carried Xiuying into the guard box.
There is a charcoal fire inside the sentry box.
It is said that Wu Yong's official chariot entered the East Palace, arrived at the Yamen of Zhan Shifu, and went in to present Xu Qin.
Before the two of them could exchange greetings, Wu Yong reported the incident at the main gate first.
"A young palace maid?"
Without thinking too much, Xu Qin immediately thought of Tie Xiuying and couldn't help but frown.
