The heavy rain outside the window has stopped. Looking out, it is pitch black. You can see the lightning flashing from afar, and there is a faint sound of thunder coming from time to time. The house is peaceful and peaceful. Anlong Tea silently exudes fragrance.

Jiang Anyi leaned slightly on the ring chair, and the candlelight blushed red. The faint scar on the tip of his right eyebrow flew into his temples. Fan Shiben saw Jiang Anyi's eyebrows rising, and the scar was like an eagle spreading its wings, adding a bit of heroic spirit.

"Brother Fan, I have a few questions. I wonder if Brother Fan can solve the problem. First, Eunuch Liu has always been a low-key person, so why is he so arrogant and accepting birthday gifts this time, and he refuses everyone?"

Fan Shiben frowned and thought, "I heard that Eunuch Liu's fiftieth birthday was promised by the emperor, and he worked hard to raise his efforts for many years."

"Since the emperor supports him, no matter how the Censorate participates, Eunuch Liu is invincible, so Brother Fan is involved in this matter, so why not to retreat more." Jiang Anyi's eyes shone brightly under the candlelight, and after many hardships, the uncensored jade began to shine.

Seeing Fan Shiben pondering deeply, Jiang Anyi continued: "Second, it is estimated that Eunuch Liu can make money. If he wants to say that he makes friends with ministers, it would be a bit far-fetched. The emperor has been in power for nine years. Everyone sees what Eunuch Liu does, and the emperor trusts him even more. Why is it because Eunuch Liu is very upright and never has personal relationships with ministers. If the Censorate participates in the memorial to Eunuch Liu to make friends with ministers, and the memorial is untrue, it may anger the emperor."

"No," Fan Shiben clapped his hands and said, "I will see Wei Zhongcheng tomorrow and I will explain this to him."

Since he was idle in the Ministry of Rites, Jiang Anyi has heard many major events, stories, past events and hidden events in the court from Tian Shuling. Although Tian Shuling is just a small official, he is very familiar with the big and small things in Kyoto City. He drinks a small wine and chats. He analyzes it well. Jiang Anyi has a good understanding of the emperor and the character of important officials in the court from his mouth.

"Third, the emperor has always been frugal. Eunuch Liu has naturally known the emperor's habits when he is by his side for a long time. How could he handle his birthday in a large manner against the holy intention? If things are abnormal, they are monsters. I'm afraid there is a purpose that cannot be explained clearly later."

As soon as this sentence was released, Fan Shiben nodded immediately and said, "Not bad, An Yi, you are right, it's indeed a bit abnormal."

Jiang Anyi thought to himself: It is also a monster to send someone to send him invitations. However, Eunuch Liu obviously has no intention of him. He has made up his birthday and wants to see what is the price of Eunuch Liu's gourd?

When I went to celebrate my birthday, what birthday gift should I give? During this period, Jiang Anyi heard a lot about the birthday gifts received by the Liu Mansion, including real gold and silver, famous calligraphy, paintings, antiques, and rare treasures from all over the world, as well as specialty products from all over the world, all of which are all exquisite.

Jiang Anyi intentionally led Fan Shiben to ask about the gifts given by several important officials in the court. A jade rockery in the Zhufu, the Grand Marshal Zhufu, was about three feet high, exquisite and transparent, and worthless; the Prime Minister Wei's calligraphy and paintings were treasured; the gifts given by other aristocratic families were not less than 2,000 silver; the officials in the court were light and heavy, and the lightest was no less than 200 taels of silver, and Hua, a wealthy businessman in Beijing, directly carried a thousand taels of gold...

After seeing off the Fan Shi Ben, Jiang Anyi returned to the table. The tea was still warm, but his thoughts were hard to calm down. Although he was not short of money, Jiang Anyi knew that his wealth would not be revealed. If he also gave him 2,000 taels of silver like others, he would immediately have many covetous eyes on him, and would even attract the attention of Long Wei and check himself to the sky. This was obviously not what Jiang Anyi wanted.

Dong'er knocked on the door and came in to change to Jiang Anyi's hot tea. Looking at Dong'er's graceful back, Jiang Anyi's heart moved and remembered something. In early April, he went to Master Yu's house, and Yu Qingle secretly found him and asked him to write a poem for Lian'er in Manchunyuan.

Zhang Zhicheng and Yu Jiaying have already gotten engaged, and the marriage between Yu Qingle and Zhang Yuzhu has also been put on the agenda. Although Zhang Yuzhu is not very satisfied with Yu Qingle, it is a beautiful thing that many people can find when they can marry the second son of the Minister of Revenue. After Zhang Zhicheng persuaded him a few times, Zhang Yuzhu agreed and kissed him more. Zhang Yuzhu has a fierce personality, and Yu Qingle is a little afraid of this daughter-in-law who has not passed the family. In addition, Yu Zhijie is very satisfied with Zhang Yuzhu and is about to have a strong wife to control her wandering son. Yu Qingle has less chances to go to the brothel. Occasionally, he secretly goes there and has to carry his family on his back. Yu Zhijie plans to marry Zhang Yuzhu into the mansion next year. Yu Qingle sighs and decides to break off his relationship with Lian'er and concentrate on studying.

Finally, when Lian'er made a show, she naturally asked Yu Qingle to find Jiang Anyi to write a lyric for her. Yu Qingle was in a difficult situation and had to find Jiang Anyi to help her. Jiang Anyi was both angry and funny, so she asked him to find someone to write a lyric. Dazheng lyrics and music are popular, and many people in the capital made a living by writing lyrics and compose music for brothels. Yu Qingle explained with a wry smile that Jiang Anyi's lyrics and compositions were originally elegant and not accessible to ordinary people. Although fakes appear from time to time, they were quickly discovered. Therefore, Jiang Zhuangyuan's lyrics are now at a high price of ten taels of silver in brothels.

He wrote the book "Die Lianyi" "Disguised and thin clothes lightly. The fairy looked good. The old love frowns. The past events frown. The dream soul was lonely and the curtain was dark. I regretted that there was no news. I left tears and said lovesickness" for Yu Qingle. He wrote the book Pingshan Anyi in the Central Academy of Drama. As soon as this poem came out, it was popular in brothels. The poem written by Jiang Anyi was regarded as a treasure by Lian'er. Some people bought a thousand taels of silver and were rejected, which became a good story in the scholars.

Jiang Anyi had an idea. Since his words are so valuable, it is most appropriate to give a birthday poem to a birthday gift. It is both elegant and valuable, and it does not show its dew.
