Chapter 157: Li Qing was rejected (1)

On the eighth day of June, the weather is beautiful. The rain has stopped for several consecutive days, and the sky is exposed with a bright sun.

In Fuxingfang, Eunuch Liu's mansion, there are lights and colorful decorations, drums and music are noisy, and the doors are open, and people who come in and out are wearing red and hanging colors, and are full of joy.

The birthday banquet in Zhiweilou started two days earlier. The birthday banquet in the mansion was held at the hour of You and just after noon, there were congratulatory guests one after another. There were many guests who had no invitations and could not get seats, so they came to the mansion early to help and make their faces familiar.

In Shen Shizhong, Jiang Anyi came to Fuxingfang and saw a car and sedan parked around the street in front of Liu's mansion, with a dedicated person maintaining order, so he did not refuse. Liu's mansion used a large basket to store white flour steamed buns, and a large basin of braised pork and eggs placed next to it. The sedan and coachmen gathered together and ate the mouths were full of oil.

As the crowd arrived at the Liu Mansion, Jiang Anyi saw a pergola outside the mansion. There were several tables in the shed. Behind the table were several people receiving gifts and keeping accounts. Behind the table were the joyful servants standing, transporting gifts into the mansion continuously.

A few feet away from the mansion, I heard a singing and cheering, "Nanyang Bo gave a pair of pearls and two pairs of white jades, wishing Eunuch Liu a long life."

The crowd was immediately ignited, and everyone stretched their necks to look at it. The recipient raised the gift to display it. Jiang Anyi glimpsed that the beads in the box were exposed on the upper half, as big as duck eggs. It was estimated that the price of these two beads would be no less than 2,000 taels.

After waiting for half a stick of incense, it was Jiang Anyi's turn. Jiang Anyi first handed over the invitation in his hand, and then gave the scroll of the characters in his hand. Someone registered: Jiang Anyi, the Minister of Rites, had a picture of a birthday poem.

The recipient was stunned after taking the letter scroll. After receiving the gift for a few days, he had never seen a letter that only gave him one. If it was a famous work from his predecessor, it would be considered precious, but the scroll looked like a new one. The recipient was afraid that it was written by a famous artist, so he expanded the letter scroll. As the recipient, he must have a vision. When he saw that the word was ordinary, it could be considered handsome at most, and his writing was no worse than this. Then look at the signature, Pingshan Jiang Anyi was the name of Jiang Anyi, the Minister of Rites of the Ministry of Rites on the invitation.

The recipient looked at Jiang Anyi in surprise. He was quite knowledgeable and had never encountered such a thing. At this age, Jiang Anyi mostly came to send gifts to the elders of his family to banquets, such as Wei Youcheng, the grandson of Wei Xiang. Officials from the sixth rank could actually get invitations from Eunuch Liu. This person had a very extraordinary relationship with Eunuch Liu, but how could he only give him a valuable calligraphy and painting?

Liu Sanzai walked out of the gate with a spring breeze. He had just sent Uncle Nanyang into the yard. Today is Uncle. Oh, it should be called Dad's birthday. As a son, he should be more diligent and please Dad's favor. People feel happy when they are happy. Liu Sanzai feels that he is in good luck, and good things are one after another. He is so happy that he keeps laughing in his dreams at night. All of this comes from his stepfather.

My family was poor, and I heard from my own father that my uncle followed him to Beiguan when he was in his teens. There was no news. My family thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, my uncle sent someone to find his relatives more than ten years ago, and my family learned that my uncle had entered the palace and became a eunuch. Isn’t the eunuch just serving the emperor in the palace? Why did the county officials take turns to visit the house, and the grass house in the house was replaced with a blue brick courtyard, and soon there were fields, animals, and servants. My family probably became a high-ranking official in the palace.

Although I recognized my relatives, I had never met my uncle. Later, my uncle sent a letter to ask my children to go to school. I and Genzai and I went to a private school for a few days, and I also passed the county school entrance exam. The second uncle and my father said that it was almost the 50th birthday of my uncle, and my family prepared some specialties to come to Beijing to find my uncle. The officials in the mansion found out and specially sent three big cars to escort my family to Beijing and also sent two cars full of things. Only then did I realize that my uncle was the eunuch Bingli in the palace, the leader of the eunuch, and the celebrity around the emperor.

Yongchang City is so big. It took nearly two hours to walk from the city gate to my uncle's residence. I moved into my uncle's yard, and the decorations were not comparable to my own courtyard. I arrived in the capital at the end of March, and I didn't meet my uncle until April 13. My uncle and my second uncle looked very similar, but I had no beards and looked younger than my second uncle and my own father.

When relatives met, they told each other about their goodbye, and they cried and laughed. The younger generations kowtowed to the uncle to meet. Somehow, when they saw the uncle remembered what his teacher taught, "A gentleman should be the foundation of the foundation, and the Tao is born. Filial piety and brotherhood are the foundation of benevolence?" He shed a few tears and threw himself into the uncle's fate. In addition to the meeting gift, the uncle also took off a jade pendant from his waist and gave it to him, which made Genzai and others very jealous.

Later, the uncle and his second uncle, father and others discussed adopting him as their son. Although they were reluctant to part with their parents, they were more willing to stay with their uncle than the prosperity of the capital. Everything about their uncle will belong to them in the future.

He kowtowed to his uncle and called "Dad". The uncle was crying, which made everyone sigh. His father told him that he wanted to ask for an official position. Sure enough, the order of the Eighth-rank official, was said to be an official who was in charge of the emperor's treasure. His rank was only one level shorter than the county magistrate in his family, so he was considered to be a success. Everyone has their own fate, and Genzai was jealous and had no choice, hahaha.
