Hearing that Cao Jixiang was coming, Xu Youzhen could only put aside her doubts, and then comforted her wife.
Tell her it's no big deal and don't worry, he will arrange it.
In fact, Xu Youzhen also panicked like a dog.
No matter how shameless he was, he still couldn't open his mouth to talk about such things with his son.
how to say!
Son, you can't think about sleeping with your father's woman.
Your father is an official of the imperial court and cannot afford this man.
Our old Xu family has never had such a person!
How can you tell your own son if this is the case?
Cao Jixiang was waiting outside, and Xu Youzhen couldn't waste too much time before she got dressed and went out to greet Cao Jixiang.
As a eunuch.
To weigh his power, it depends on whether he is close to the emperor or not.
The closer you are, even if you have no rank, you are still the best. The farther away, even if you are the supervisor of the 24th Prison, you can only have some dignity in the palace. In the previous dynasty, no one would be able to stop you. you.
And Cao Jixiang is an alternative among these eunuchs.
Running all over the world, balls all over the place.
It seems that he is getting further and further away from the emperor and losing power.
But in a certain way, it is getting closer and closer to the emperor's heart.
Xu Youzhen knew Cao Jixiang's status at this time.
When he was out running around, he was more powerful than when he stayed in the palace.
Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver flowed from his hands.
He was also responsible for the preparation of a large fleet of tens of thousands of people.
This is the second generation of Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty.
After that, he can still have the same political status as Zheng He.
And the current number one eunuch, Zhang Bao, although he is the censor of ceremonies and the ancestor among the eunuchs, he is just a messenger for the emperor.
Cao Jixiang has a lot of autonomy, and he is free from the inner palace. He no longer has to play political intrigues and can focus on his career.
The relationship between Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang has always been good.
The two of them went to Shandong to visit the Emperor, and to Seoul, North Korea to watch the sunrise. They also got drunk together and slept in the same bed.
Although Xu Youzhen's heart was in chaos, she was really good at adjusting her emotions.
He calmed down and started again. Judging from his face, Xu Youzhen's worry could not be detected at all.
He went out in person to greet Cao Jixiang.
When she first saw Cao Jixiang, Xu Youzhen was slightly stunned.
Cao Jixiang and I can be said to be of the same age, because Cao Jixiang is from the palace. He has good skin, good energy, and good looks. He looks much younger than Xu Youzhen.
But Cao Jixiang, who appeared in front of Xu Youzhen at this time, was far different from Xu Youzhen's impression.
The skin is rough, there are more wrinkles, the body is fatter, and the eyes seem not as bright as before.
I used to take care of my hair very carefully, and some hair strands got rid of their restraints...
Coupled with Cao Jixiang's many days of traveling, he couldn't hide his fatigue.
Eunuchs, as a group, have gradually become closer to women in their hearts. Due to the special problems of their positions, they also have very strong age depression and body anxiety.
No emperor wants to see an old, ugly, and fat man wandering around in front of him.
Therefore, in daily life, eunuchs are very delicate and are afraid that others will notice their old age.
Even Zhang Bao, the eunuch with a stable position next to the emperor, always maintained his elegant side. His hair was always neat and there was never a wrinkle in his clothes.
At this time, Cao Jixiang acted like this because deep down in his heart, he had already denied the fact that he was an eunuch, and his psychology also changed.
In fact, it was the first time that Cao Jixiang went out without tidying up. He felt weird in his heart, but he really didn’t have much time to spend on looking at the mirror and decaling yellow. So in order to work, he skipped this step. As time went by, he got used to it. In spite of his own state, he actually likes this unkempt, "manly" state.
Xu Youzhen was stunned for a moment, and Cao Jixiang understood what he was thinking.
"What, how long has it been since we last met? Doesn't Xu Du Yushi recognize me?"
Xu Youzhen laughed softly and said: "How could it be possible? It's just that Eunuch Cao has gained weight, which makes Xu a little surprised."
"How can I not be fat and wide after eating delicious food from all over the place? Why, Xu Du Yushi, won't you invite me in to sit down?"
"How could it happen? How could it happen? Eunuch Cao invites you."
Cao Jixiang nodded, then stood up and walked forward.
Before he went to sea, he often came to Xu Youzhen's home, but after returning from the New World, he never came.
The two of them arrived in the lobby and boiled water and made tea as usual.
"It's so late, please don't disturb Xu Du Yushi."
"I sleep very late every day, how can I disturb you?"
"Um, Xu Du Yushi, I, I haven't eaten yet..."
After Xu Youzhen heard what Cao Jixiang said, she immediately stood up and walked out of the lobby, asking someone to arrange meals.
Of course, this time, the people in the kitchen had already got off work, and their wives and children were already hot on the stove. It seemed a bit unkind to ask them to come over to light the fire and cook, so Xu Youzhen arranged for someone to go out to the restaurant to order the dishes.
It was late at night, and in the entire capital, only a few flower houses had food and wine...
Of course, Cao Jixiang would never have imagined that one day he, a eunuch, would be able to eat from a brothel. M.biQuge.biZ
-After the arrangements were made, Xu Youzhen turned around and asked Cao Jixiang loudly: "Eunuch Cao, do you want to drink?"
"I wonder if the censor of Xudu can drink."
"Then drink less." Then, Xu Youzhen walked into the lobby again, and instead of sitting at the main seat, she sat in front of Cao Jixiang.
"Eunuch Cao, where are you coming from?"
"It can be said that it is coming back from Qiantang, or it can be said that it is coming back from Qufu."
"You went to Qiantang and Qufu..."
"Then Eunuch Cao is obviously too much of a Taibao."
Cao Jixiang laughed softly and said: "Of course we have met, Yu Taibao and I want to have a good chat. And I also want to do a small favor for Yu Taibao."
Hearing this, Xu Youzhen's heart moved, and she suddenly thought of what Zhan Yang had just said to her about Qian.
"You are helping the Taibao. Why, let him take a boat to follow you around." Xu Youzhen said with a smile, seemingly casually, but actually she was asking Cao Jixiang what this favor was about.
And Xu Youzhen did not hide the slightest, and said frankly: "Well, you don't know, Yu Taibao is now very old, and he is different from other officials. He returns to his hometown after resigning from old age, that is, returning to his hometown in fine clothes, and traveling everywhere. Accepting other people's visiting gifts, he locked himself in a small courtyard and did not have contact with anyone. I thought, Your Majesty wanted Yu Taibao to rest, not to wait for death."
