Chapter 223 The human heart is profit and pleasure

Xu Xianchun has not been satisfied in recent years.

After passing the Wu Jinshi exam, Xu Xianchun was assigned to Gaojiabao in Xuanda Town by soldiers, which was very close to the Northern Territory. Logically, Xu Xianchun should have gotten what he wanted.

However, the facts are not so pure. Therefore, in Xuanda, he was able to gallop on the battlefield, ambitions to eat the meat of the barbarians, laugh at the thirst and drink the blood of the Huns, but did nothing at all.

The reason is that Xuanda, like other borders, had a tangled relationship with the generals and family, and the military system of the garrison was also very corrupt. Many front-line officers made profits by smuggling. Unless the Northern Gate invaded in large numbers, sporadic invasions were almost left alone.

Under such circumstances, Xu Xianchun, who was eager to serve the country, had no place to achieve anything. He had not been promoted for several years, and was in a very depressed mood.

At this time, Tian Ergeng sent someone to find him and was willing to come forward to coordinate and help him transfer to the Jinyiwei. After thinking about it for a while, he responded to Tian Ergeng. He was transferred to the Jinyiwei last month, but he had to go to Tianjin to complete the entry procedures according to the rules, so he rushed back to the capital today.

Tian Ergeng was still good, and helped Xu Xianchun find a job in "Test Thousand Houses" in Beizhen. "Test Thousand Houses" is the deputy Thousand Houses. He is a fifth-rank military position, and is second-level higher than Xu Xianchun's previous Trial Hundred Houses in Gaojiabao.

"Brother Tian has troubled me, I'm afraid I'll spend a lot of money."

Eunuch Wei sincerely thanks Tian Ergeng.

It should be noted that Xu Xianchun returned to the position of the Jinyiwei and would be the Northern Governor of the Jinyiwei in the future. With Tian Ergeng, the Grand Governor of the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei system would completely turn towards Eunuch Wei.

Even if Tian and Xu made their fortunes during the Tianqi period, as long as the Beizhen area has his allies of Eunuch Wei, the palace gate guards will not fall into the hands of Donglin when they are "moved".

Including Cui Yingyuan, the "Five Biao" of the eunuch party had already gathered three of them, and the rest of Sun Yunhe and Yang Huan would appear sooner or later.

"I have never spent much money. The Grand Governor and Commander Liu also have to give His Majesty a slight face."

Tian Ergengming said that Xu Xianchun could test the Qianhu family in Beizhen and his family background. After all, he was the great grandson of Emperor Shizong. His current cousin, whether Luo Sigong from Tianjin or Liu Qiao from Beizhen, must consider the consequences of opposing Xu Xianchun's transfer.

There are some things that the emperor himself may not know at all, or he does not care about, but the people below cannot really ignore the emperor when doing things.

"Hui Zhi Xu Xianchun has met Eunuch Wei!"

Xu Xianchun had learned from Tian Ergeng that the virtuous story of Eunuch Wei's "close to the king to raise his relatives" and knew that the country boy who went to Beijing with him was now a favored slave by the emperor. Da Wan, who held military power, dared not neglect it.

But although he was only a royal family in Beizhen, he was also a royal relative, so he suddenly wanted to lower his identity and salute the country boy back then, which was somewhat uncomfortable.

"Brother Xu calls me Liangchen in the future!"

Eunuch Wei is approachable and eager to be talented, so he cannot let Xu Xianchun get along with him. After telling his longing for him, he took Xu Xianchun's hand to him.

This scene made Ding Dagu, who was watching from afar, suddenly became very envious.

Chen Mo came over to ask Eunuch Wei to see the banquet seat list. Eunuch Wei waved his hand and said without caring: "Don't worry, what's the best thing to look like when you do things."

"Then please say a few words to my father-in-law!"

"Okay, let's say a few words."

Eunuch Wei was very happy. He still liked to speak. Although his voice was almost hoarse when he spoke in Nantang today, he still had to say a few words.

"Everyone!"

Chen Mo raised his hand and signaled that the noisy people suddenly became quiet.

Eunuch Wei smiled and waved his hands to the hundreds of people downstairs, and said loudly: "Dear internal officials and colleagues from the East Factory, today is the New Year's Eve of the 44th year of Wanli, and tomorrow we will usher in the New Year's Day of the 45th year of Wanli. At this moment, I will tell you that our family has felt the breath of spring!"

"good!"

Ding Daguqing couldn't help but scream and applauded vigorously.

Suddenly, applause overwhelmed the sky.

Cui Yingyuan glared at Ding Dagu in dissatisfaction, thinking to himself that you kid steals the limelight.

"This year is over, and next year will start soon"

Eunuch Wei was in a good mood, his speech was very organized, and every word was gem, and everyone was applauding.

"What we said is almost the same. We hope that we can gather with everyone every year in the future! What is the purpose of gathering? Our family summarized it, and there are only four words, which four words?"

My father-in-law waved his hand happily, "Eat, drink, bet!"

The applause was thunderous and the crowd was very excited.

"Okay, then let's start."

My father-in-law was very satisfied with the audience's reaction, and Chen Mo quickly ordered the shopkeeper to serve the food. When the guys served the food, my father-in-law didn't rest, and sent red envelopes one by one from the table.

The red envelopes were said to be big or small, and they were all five taels per. But they couldn't resist the amount of the portion. Cui Yingyuan and a few fans followed their father-in-law with several big bags.

"Thank you, the factory!"

The staff of the Dongchang factory came consciously led by Eunuch Wei, and the kind names of "Factory" made the father-in-law even more proud.

Everyone in the Inner Supervision Office, Chen Mo's office staff, the sister upstairs, and the shop's friends are all there.

A circle of red envelopes scattered, and the voices of my father-in-law were everywhere. My father-in-law was very tired, but he was very happy to hear it.

The banquet started, and it was a different kind of lively. The sisters sang and danced one after another, and everyone was smiling happily.

There were also people coming to toast here, and my face turned red shortly after.

When the food was halfway through, Chen Mo came on stage to announce that the following draw was a lottery. This was the first time everyone heard about the lottery, and they were all very curious. When the prize was released, they were so excited.

A total of five prizes were set up.

The fifth prize is one hundred taels of silver, with a total of 50 people;

The fourth prize is 200 taels of silver, with a total of 30 people;

The third prize is 300 taels of silver, plus one beauty, a total of 20 people;

The second prize is 500 taels of silver, plus one beauty, a total of 10 people;

The first prize is 1,000 taels of silver, plus two beauties, a total of 5 people.

"Remember that winner, you can take the money away. As for the beauty, you can only take 12 hours. Once the hour comes, you have to let them go back. Otherwise, our family will not pay for you the extra time."

The drunk father-in-law brought the atmosphere to the extreme.

At the request of his elders, Tian Ergeng, Chen Mo, Li Yongzhen, Xu Xianchun, Cui Yingyuan, and several officials from the Inner Supervision Office, several hundreds of households in the East Factory took the stage to draw prizes as representatives.

As the fifth and fourth prizes were successively awarded, there were joy and laughter inside and outside the restaurant. After the third prize was awarded, the atmosphere suddenly became trendy.

"Ding Dagu, you guys are lucky!"

"It's all for the factory's blessing, it's all for the factory's blessing"

Ding Dagu hugged Li Nuer in his arms, his eyes swept around Ren Nuer, and his oily big hands were even pinching them.

Tian Ergeng was drawing the lottery on the stage. He called a person's name, which was filled with laughter. Then someone came up to take the silver with his sister.

The program is simple, short and fast.

My sisters have practiced it for a long time, and they let out a few yells to make the winner shout.

My father-in-law is such a good person!

Most of the winners are ordinary foreign officers, including ordinary mates in the internal officials, office staff, and personal guards around the father-in-law. This fully shows that in terms of award arrangements, Eunuch Wei treats everyone equally and absolutely does not favor one or the other.

The last first prize must have been awarded by Eunuch Wei on stage. The five guys who won the prize were like in their dreams, holding big bags of silver and holding two hands without knowing how to take my sister down.

Based on the requirements of eating, drinking, fun and gambling, the banquet has not yet ended, and the big and small tables of Paijiu, Yezishe, and dice are started.

Some of the winners are impatient, so they don’t mess with money and just lead people away.

Upstairs and downstairs, it was really smoky.

Xu Xianchun, who had just returned from the border town, was obviously not suitable for this environment, and was even more unfamiliar with Eunuch Wei's style of conduct.

"Brother Xu must know that things in the world come and go, and the word "li" is the word "li". In order to use people, the word "li" means "li" and "li" means "li" means "li" and "li" means "li" means "li" and "li" means "li" means "li" and "li" means "li" means "li" means "li" means "li" means "li" means "li" means "li" means "li" means "li" means "li" means "li"

Eunuch Wei, who was drunk, wiped his mouth with a veil, "With people's hearts, we will help us when we do things. One eunuch and three people help us. In the future, Brother Xu will have to help us well."

While speaking, a silver note was handed to Xu Xianchun.

Xu Xianchun was stunned. He looked at Tian Ergeng next to him and Eunuch Li from the East Factory and put the silver notes into his sleeves without even looking at them. He hesitated and stuffed the silver notes into his waist bag.

The father-in-law laughed, got up drunk and patted Xu Xianchun on the shoulder, and said a few words to Tian Ergeng, Li Yongzhen whispered, and then he walked out of the restaurant with the help of his personal guards.

Inside the building, Brother Huan laughed and was making money and scolded. It was so endless, even more intimate than the sound of firecrackers.
