Not far from the palace to the south of Donghua Gate is the location of Dongchang. There is a stone tablet in front of the lobby in the courtyard, with four large characters written by Chengzu: "Full Fortune for Ages" written by Chengzu.

You can see a large portrait of Yue Fei when you enter the lobby. This is a reminder to the Tiqi of the Dongchang to handle cases without being ruthless or indulge in them. The more important meaning is that everyone should not forget to serve the country with loyalty.

Since Chongzhen ordered the reopening of the East Factory, Luo Yangxing, who had become the left governor, cooperated with everyone and asked people to give things. In just half a month, the East Factory had begun to take shape.

At this time, in the second hall of the East Factory, Wang Chengen, the newly released eunuch of the Imperial Governor of the East Factory's official school, was giving a speech to his nephew, Wang Shiqin, who was also the new Dongchang's commander of the thousand households.

"The emperor ordered our family to take charge of the Dongchang, which is a great trust in our family and a high hope for our family. Now the momentum of the Jinyiwei is reviving, and the several major cases he handles are quite encouraging. Whenever new things are first established, they are always united and will be diligent and serious in handling the tasks. However, over time, it is inevitable that there will be slackness and favoritism."

Wang Chengen said calmly.

Wang Shiqin stood respectfully in front of his uncle and listened to his teachings.

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Chengen continued: "Although Luo Yangxing is obedient and loyal, the commander of the Jinyiwei is an outside official after all. After a long time, he has lived outside the palace and has no idea what other thoughts he has. After all, the emperor cannot fully feel at ease."

Wang Shiqin couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Uncle, my nephew has been in the ward for more than a year. According to my nephew's eyes, the Jinyiwei has been there since Lord Luo, and there are few people with great selfishness. In fact, my uncle doesn't have to think too much!"

Wang Chengen glared and scolded, "What do you know?! In our eyes, everyone except the Emperor's family is not trustworthy! Today, I will not be able to turn around and sell you to others tomorrow! We have been in the palace for decades, and we have seen so many such things!"

Wang Shiqin immediately acted like a good baby, with a respectful look on his face, but he was still dissatisfied.

Wang Chengen knew that he was young and had been in the countryside. Although he was also studying and polite, he finally saw too little in the world and did not have a deep understanding of the fickleness of people's hearts.

Only after you have experienced many things yourself can you know the taste of them. Your nephew is very clever and I believe that after a few blows, you will understand your painstaking efforts today.

He changed the topic and continued: "Xiao Wu, you have been in Wei for more than a year. Although you have done a few jobs well and are still popular in Wei, you must know that this is because Luo Yangxing and the rest of the Wei Halls are taking care of you for our family. This time, the emperor appointed you as the Dongchang to take charge of the thousand households. This is a great kindness! It is also the emperor's support for our Wang family. If you do it well, our Wang family can take the opportunity. You must act cautiously and never make mistakes. Remember, the emperor is the heaven of our Wang family! The emperor's family is our master! As long as it is beneficial to the emperor's family, you don't have to be afraid of offending anyone else. Do you understand?"

Wang Shiqin replied solemnly: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew's heart is bright! We are the royal hawks, and anything that is unfavorable to the emperor can be destroyed!"

Wang Chengen nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good that you understand! Now that the East Factory is first established, the first thing is to establish authority! The target has been established, you must do this first game! Otherwise, you should go home and farm!"

Wang Shiqin smiled and said, "Uncle, don't underestimate your nephew! Everything has been arranged! Just wait for your order!"

Zhu Gui, the grand butler of Duke Cheng's mansion, was busy in the mansion. After serving Zhu Chunchen to the yard of the third concubine, he saw the candles in the room extinguished and carefully ordered the inner house to manage the affairs, so he found a reason to leave the mansion and drove the carriage to the east city in person.

Zhu Gui's family was in a large courtyard in the Duke's Mansion. The family had a wife and a pair of children. The daughter was married to the son of the housekeeper of the Xiangcheng Bo Mansion. The son was only sixteen years old. Now he followed Zhu Gui to learn how to manage his business and prepare to take over his class in the future.

It is said that life is so good, but after getting used to the dirty and dirty things in many nobles' mansions, Zhu Gui still took a scruple.

After obtaining his wife's consent, a few years ago he bought a woman named Liu Xu from the refugees who fled to the capital. Liu Xu's home was in Datong. Because the fields were not harvested for years, he followed his family to beg for the direction of the capital. On the way, his mother and younger brother died of illness one after another, and only his father took her to the capital.

Unfortunately, shortly after arriving in the capital, my father also suffered from a serious illness and soon after, he left the world. Since then, there has been no more relatives from her.

When Zhu Gui came back from the city to do business for Zhu Chunchen, he saw Liu Xu crawling outside the city gate and crying. Zhu Gui, who had already planned, felt moved in his heart, so he asked the servant to come forward to ask. After learning about the incident, Zhu Gui felt pity. So he ordered the servant to buy a coffin, bury Liu Xu's father, and then bury Liu Xu's father outside the city, and placed Liu Xu in a simple inn outside the city, leaving some silver for her food and accommodation, and then returned to the mansion.

Zhu Gui informed his wife of his plan, and Zhu's wife had always followed Zhu Gui's advice, so Zhu Gui personally rushed to the outside of the city that day and saw Liu Xu.

Willow feathers are of the best appearance, but they are better than young, and they are only fifteen years old. When Zhu reached middle age, he was very happy and told him about his intention to take Willow feathers as his concubine.

For a teenage girl, when she came to this strange place where she had no relatives, her family was no longer there. She was in grief and fear. She was grateful for Zhu Gui's righteous act of burying his father, so she agreed shyly.

The next thing went naturally. Zhu Gui bought a two-entry yard in Dongcheng, and then, with the face of the Duke's Mansion, obtained a household registration for Liuxu from Shuntian Mansion. Then he went to the market to buy a lonely and helpless middle-aged woman to serve Liuxu. Since then, Liuxu finally has a place to settle down and rely on.

Zhu Gui handled all this personally, and no one knew about it. He helped Liu Xu bury his father's servant that day, and only thought it was a kind-hearted move by the butler, and he never thought about the follow-up.

The next year, Liu Xu gave birth to a fat son for Zhu Gui, which made Zhu Gui, who had a child in his old age, extremely happy. At his age, he should have a grandson. In his heart, this youngest son always feels like a divorce from generation to generation, and he is more loved by his current eldest son than his current eldest son.

Since then, Zhu Gui has to go to the outside house every now and every now and is even more doting on Liu Xu. In addition to telling her to go out less, all the food and clothing are bought for her with tight care, and the whole family is having a happy life.

It was already the hour when Zhu Gui arrived at the outer house in Dongcheng. On the way, he encountered a servant from the Five City Military and Ma Si who were patrolling the road. After Zhu Guiliang went out to guard the Duke's Mansion, he was unobstructed.

After knocking on the door and counting, the woman came over to open the door of the house. Her master usually came here at this time. Although she didn't know what errand was doing, she was definitely not an ordinary person. The master never said it, nor did he ask. He was a lonely woman, and the master could enjoy food. This is a great kindness.

Zhu Gui entered the second house and saw the figure of willow catkins holding a two-year-old son in his arms on the window paper, and a warm feeling arose.

He quickened his pace and came to the front and back of the door and pushed it in. He looked at Liu Xu, who was feeding in the side room and said with a smile: "Brother Fu'er is not wrong. He is two years old and still eats his mother's milk. I said he would hire a wet nurse, but you just don't listen!"

Liu Xu looked at her son who was eating fragrant in her arms, her eyes full of doting. She said, "When my mother was alive, she told me that her children would grow strong only by eating their mother's milk! I have enough milk, and Fu'er wants to eat it until she is aged!"

Zhu Gui took off his robe and placed it on the wardrobe, sat on the bed, and asked with concern: "Madam Pan is still satisfied? Master, I plan to buy another young maid to serve you, and I can also help you relieve your boredom. Madam Pan is often in the front house, so it is not a big deal for you to stay by yourself!"

Liu Xu sat beside the bed with the child in his arms, looked at Zhu Gui and replied, "The master loves me, I appreciate it. I can buy someone who is older, just younger than Miss Pan!"

Zhu Gui knew her thoughts, and was afraid that he would get another thought when he would buy a young maid, so he smiled and didn't say anything more. He was very content now, with cute willow shit and babbling baby boys. Both of these are the most precious wealth in his heart. If anyone dares to touch them, he will be able to fight his life.

After a while, Fu'er went to bed. After washing up, the two of them turned and fell into a rain. They hugged each other and fell asleep.

At midnight, Zhu Gui suddenly felt a cool feeling in his sleep. Someone seemed to come in from the room, and he immediately turned over and sat up.

"Don't make a sound! Scar the child!" A whisper came from the darkness, and then the throat tightened, and a sharp knife pressed on it. Zhu Gui didn't dare to move.

"Let's go to the outhouse to talk. There are many people in our house. Don't mislead yourself!" The visitor continued to whisper.

Zhu Gui nodded slowly with his neck stiffly, and then pulled away the knife against his throat. Zhu Gui gently moved Liu Xu's arm on him, then slowly sat up and moved to the edge of the bed, searched for the boots with his feet and stood up after stepping in, and tiptoed to the outer room. Liu Xu and Fu'er still couldn't wake up.

As the candlelight was lit, two figures appeared a few steps in front of Zhu Gui. One was about thirty years old, looking honest and honest, but holding a short sword with a shining cold light in his hand; the other was relatively young, with a very ordinary appearance, looking at him up and down with his arms.

The man holding the knife put the short knife in the scabbard and inserted it into the boot. He walked to a chair and sat down. Then he said, "Butler Zhu, please sit down. Two of them came here on order to discuss with you if you have something to do!"

Zhu Gui has also seen big scenes and knows that since he spoke openly, he is sure that he dare not make a statement.

He sat side by side with the middle-aged man across the short gala and said calmly: "Since you know your identity, it is best for you to not go too far, otherwise the Duke's Mansion will not give up! If you are seeking wealth, Zhu still has a little savings. How about giving two silver 500 taels of silver to you?"

The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head and said, "We are really short of money, but we have to do the serious business first! To be honest, two of them are under the jurisdiction of the Jinyiwei Beifu Division, and have now been assigned to the command of the Dongchang Eunuch Wang. It is a matter of the Duke's Mansion. Please ask Mr. Zhu to cooperate as much as possible, otherwise, your outdoor room and young son... tsk tsk!"

Zhu Gui was shocked when he heard the Duke's Mansion and immediately made a decision: Some people want to be unfavorable to the Duke, so I, Zhu Gui, will never be a villain who is betrayed!
