Speaking of the Three Treasures Eunuch, Liu Jin is as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He is really a treasure trove.
In fact, he understands the deeds of the Three Treasures better than Li Qing, who has experienced those years. gòйЪ.ōΓg
There were many things that Li Qing didn't know clearly, but what he said was true and not like nonsense at all.
While talking, the sweet potatoes were also roasted. Li Qing was eating the soft, glutinous and sweet roasted sweet potatoes while listening to Liu Jin's blah blah...
…
After half an hour, Liu Jin stopped talking because her mouth was dry.
Li Qing was surprised: "These things have happened for many years, how do you know so much about them?"
"Hey~ These are all passed down by word of mouth from the men in the palace. It's not a secret. Not to mention our family, if you just ask any slave who has been in the palace for a few years, there is no one who doesn't know about it." Liu Jin said with a smile. , "Eunuch Sanbao, give us men a good face!"
Eunuchs are handicapped, so their social status is very low. Even if they hold important positions, they will not be treated differently.
In fact, sometimes they are not regarded as human beings.
They also have low self-esteem. It is rare for someone of their kind to leave a name in history, so they naturally praise and are enthusiastic about it.
Perhaps, they just regard the Three Treasures as their spiritual sustenance.
After all, this is the only person who can make them stand tall!
However, there is no doubt that the Three Treasures have become the idols of eunuchs, and their beliefs...
Liu Jin is honored.
Li Qing was also pleased.
He was very happy to see the achievements of the Three Treasures being recognized, remembered, and praised...
That young man could have lived a prosperous life, but he spent half of his life drifting at sea, dedicating his best years to the Ming Dynasty.
Even in his later years, he could not enjoy himself comfortably.
Li Qing smiled and said: "It seems that Eunuch Liu also wants to emulate the Three Treasures!"
"Young Master is joking, how dare our family have such wishful thinking?" Liu Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The Three Treasures eunuchs are good at literature and martial arts, and our family can also make some musicians. The total number of words that we know is less than a basketful of words. It's just an opportunity. In the end, I don’t even have the skills to do it.”
This guy has a very clear understanding of himself... Li Qingxiao asked, "Don't you want Eunuch Liu to go up?"
Liu Jin smiled and said: "It would be a lie to say that I don't want to. We are already in our thirties, so we want to work hard while we are still young."
"Twelve eunuchs in the inner court, I wonder what Eunuch Liu's ambition is?"
"Of course it's the dining room!" Liu Jin said without thinking, "You can eat delicious food all day long without having to worry about it."
After a pause, "The Bell and Drum Department of the Supervisor of Ceremonies is also pretty good. I just get up early and ring the bells. After ringing the bells, I can have a whole day free. How comfortable!"
"..." Li Qing suppressed a smile, "Eunuch Liu is not greedy."
Liu Jin smiled sheepishly and said, "As the saying goes, it's important for people to know themselves. Our family is not that big. We just want to have enough food and clothing and be free and at ease. What's more, we want to save more money so that we can have a roof over our heads when we are old. I don’t think about anything else.”
Speaking of this, he suddenly became sentimental, "We people were looked down upon by others when we were alive, and we cannot enter our ancestors' graves after we die. From the day of castration, we are all alone."
This is the pain of all eunuchs.
Li Qing didn't want to talk deeply about other people's scars, so he talked about other things.
The group of eunuchs...how should I say this?
They are not as vicious as described in history books. Most of them are just swords in the hands of the emperor. Wang Zhen and Wang Zhi are all like this.
Of course, this does not mean that they are just slaves who are content and dedicated to their master. They also have selfish motives, are greedy for money, and do evil.
However, he is not a pure evil person.
For example, Wang Zhi, although he is arrogant and domineering, he really has achievements, and they are not small.
In fact, they are just like civil and military officials, with both a lovely side and a hateful side.
It's just that the eunuch is not popular.
In this era, being ugly can affect your official career, not to mention a eunuch who has lost his descendants and is not considered a man?
…
Near the end of Shenshi, Li Qing stood up and said: "It's getting late, I'm going back now, I'll talk about it another day when I have time."
"Hey, good." Liu Jin stood up and said, "It's getting cloudy again. Young Master, please put on your big cloak and go."
"No, it hasn't snowed in the past few days, and it's not cold." Li Qing didn't want to make another trip to deliver the cloak. He and Liu Jin actually had nothing in common.
If he hadn't borrowed Liu Jin's cloak and had nowhere to go today, he wouldn't have come to chat with a eunuch.
It's not that he discriminates against eunuchs, it's that the two parties are not on the same page at all.
"Farewell."
"Master, go slowly." Liu Jin was very polite and sent him out.

Lianjiatun'er, small courtyard.
When Li Qing arrived home, the couple were choosing vegetables, boiling water, and having a lively chat in the east kitchen.
Zhu Wanqing's voice was sweet and sweet, and she was no longer so unreasonable. At most, she would just roll her eyes or something, and she would not argue with Li Hong.
Seeing him coming back, Zhu Wanqing immediately said: "Uncle Li, you are back. I thought you were going to stay overnight."
"Where to stay?"
"Hey~" Zhu Wanqing curled her lips, smiled evilly, raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you have to tell me?"
"Haha, tell me." Li Qing said calmly, waiting for the next words.
Zhu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then became timid. She sniffed her nose, but she didn't smell rouge, but smelled roasted sweet potatoes. She said in surprise:
"Uncle Li, you didn't go to the brothel?"
"What are you talking about?" Li Qing was angry, "Uncle Li is a gentleman, how can he go to a place like that?"
"That's right, my godfather won't go there," Li Hong snorted, "That place is not nice at all... Ahem, Wanqing, you and your godfather can go to the living room to chat about maritime business. I'll take care of dinner. "
"It doesn't matter whether you're a maritime merchant or not. It doesn't matter if you have dinner or not. I just want to know why the brothel is so bad?" Zhu Wanqing looked at him and sneered again and again.
Li Hong panicked and looked at Li Qing for help.
"Godfather..."
Li Qing turned a deaf ear and walked away.
Then, Zhu Wanqing's scolding sound came from behind...
"It's good to be noisy, not deserted..." Li Qing said to himself, flipping through the storybook happily...

Fengtian Temple.
Zhu Youtang's face was gloomier than the cold winter weather outside, as if someone owed him money.
The ministers were puzzled.
What's wrong with the Emperor? He's always had a stern face these days, and nothing bad has happened?
"If you have a foundation, you will play early, but if you don't have a foundation, you will retreat." Zhu Youtang said irritably, and even threw the jade paperweight, seeming to be on the verge of getting angry.
Li Dongyang saw this and said, "Why is the emperor like this?"
"It's nothing." Zhu Youtang said stiffly.
Seeing this, Li Dongyang became even more worried and said: "The weather is cold and the ground is freezing. Your Majesty must take care of the dragon's body. If there is anything inappropriate, report it to the imperial doctor immediately..."
"I said it's okay... Well, forget it." Zhu Youtang calmed down and stood up and said: "If you have any memorials, please leave them for reading before leaving the court."
After that, he walked away without giving the officials a chance to salute.
The ministers looked at each other in confusion. For a moment, their faces were full of confusion and they didn't know the reason...
Breathing the cold air, Zhu Youtang calmed down a little. Recently, for some reason, he was always irritable and irritable.
It was obviously nothing serious, but he just felt irritable and couldn't bring himself to cheer up. He wanted to kick anyone he saw.
"Oh...it feels so uncomfortable." Zhu Youtang seemed to have had all his happiness taken away from him, and he felt a little hopeless.
After walking aimlessly for a while, Zhu Youtang turned around and went to Changle Palace...
'Gululu...' The hot pot soup is surging, and the air is filled with aroma. On the table are plump meat slices, vegetables with crystal water droplets, and fresh fruits...
Zhu Youtang swallowed, and then said: "My son, I have met my father and the emperor, and my mother."
After a pause, he nodded to Concubine Chen again.
Zhu Jianshen smiled and said: "You are quite good at choosing a time. Come and sit."
"Hey, okay." Zhu Youtang came forward and sat down, staring at the hot pot so hard that he almost drooled.
During these days when he was eating weight loss meals, his mouth was filled with tears. How could he stand the sight of such tempting food? His stomach immediately rumbled, and his mouth secreted a large amount of fluid. Zhu Youtang's eyes were filled with tears. Almost fell into the hot pot.
Zhu Jianshen didn't know what was going on. Seeing that his son was so hopeless, he laughed and scolded:
"Why, you don't have enough to eat on weekdays?"
"Uh... Erchen has been losing weight recently." Zhu Youtang said sarcastically, "It's true that sometimes I don't have enough to eat."
At this moment, he was still a little irritable and wished he could feast immediately.
Zhu Jianshen said with a smile: "Look at you, you are really...forget it, if you don't eat enough, you won't have the energy to lose weight. Besides, you are usually busy, so there is no need to be so harsh on yourself."
Ji also said: "Your father is right, the state affairs are heavy, so don't lose weight and weaken your body."
Concubine Chen agreed with a smile.
Seeing them like this, the last trace of guilt in Zhu Youtang's heart disappeared.
I work conscientiously for the country and the people, and I reflect on myself every day, walking on thin ice...Can't I have a good meal? Zhu Youtang found a perfect step for himself...
Fatty mutton, delicious donkey meat, delicious fish fillets...it smells so good!
Zhu Youtang was like a hungry wolf, his tongue was about to melt.
During the intermission, he stared at the orange again, broke off a piece and put it in his mouth. That bite...
Juice bursts in your mouth and your taste buds tremble!
Sweet, so sweet, this is the feeling of happiness...
Zhu Youtang fell.
After working hard for so long, he failed. At first, he told himself to be more restrained, but it didn't take long for him to completely sink.
for a long time,
"Hiccup~"
Zhu Youtang leaned back on the chair with a look of enjoyment and satisfaction. He had found the meaning of life and the source of happiness.
I’m not bored anymore, I’m not bored by anything anymore, I’m energetic, I’m energetic everywhere.
Comfortable, comfortable everywhere...
The ultimate physical satisfaction made Zhu Youtang so happy that he felt so happy that his fat face smiled.
After a while, he stood up with support on the table and said: "Father, the emperor, mother, and I have gone to handle official business."
"Well, go ahead." Zhu Jianshen nodded.
"My son, please retire."
After leaving Changle Palace, Zhu Youtang seemed to be a different person, radiant and full of energy.
However, as soon as he arrived at the imperial study room, he felt a discomfort in his stomach. In an instant, the discomfort was like a flood breaking a bank, and it was out of control...
