Chapter 22 The Northern Division Eunuch
The city of Liangzhou has gradually entered summer, and the cicadas fill the entire city.
Li Lingyue walked into a jewelry store quickly, picked up several pieces of jewelry, and finally picked up a beaded hairpin, compared it on his head, turned his head and smiled, "Hey, do you think it's good?"
Chen Shou's feet were sore after leaving, and he thought that he had earned nearly 10,000 taels of silver from this soy sauce. If he wanted all the money, it would be a death sentence.
How to do it next...
Just as he was thinking, when he heard the beauty question, Chen Shou shouted without raising his head, "It looks good, it looks good."
The little girl hummed softly and raised her voice and said, "Does a good-looking person look good?"
"Of course, the hairpin looks good."
Li Lingyue's eyes widened, and before she could get furious, Chen Shou immediately smiled and said, "People look better!"
Li Lingyue then turned anger into joy, threw the bead hairpin on the cabinet, and walked down a few steps, "Good and smooth, what are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking of making more money and getting promoted well, otherwise how can I go to the general's house to propose marriage? If I, a ninth-rank manager, wouldn't I be beaten out with sticks."
Li Lingyue's face turned red, her eyebrows and eyes fluttered, and she said coquettishly: "Who is going to marry you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she asked again worriedly: "Then have you come up with your idea?"
"You don't want to marry, what's my idea? Oh, I'll ask the matchmaker at home to tell you what to do."
Li Lingyue pinched his arm and exerted a little force, and Chen Shou screamed in pain.
"Murder your husband."
"Who made you feel so slick, and you didn't have any seriousness... it hurts? Let's take a look."
Chen Shou asked curiously: "You are interested in that hairpin, why don't you buy it?"
"It's just that the workmanship is unique and the materials are too poor. What should I do if I buy it?"
Chen Shou cursed in his heart that the great man in the West was indeed rich, after all, he was the local emperor in the northwest.
Such a family background is also the most dangerous. The officials who have always been in charge of military and political affairs must learn to show loyalty or belittle themselves, otherwise it will definitely be a thorn in the heart of the emperor.
Li Wei...
It seems to be too perfect.
This thought flashed in Chen Shou's mind. After all, now in the northwest, the General's Mansion is at its peak. What's more, the military and civilians in the northwest know that the General's Mansion is the Dinghai Sword Needle in the northwest.
If you attack the general's mansion, you will destroy the Great Wall by yourself.
"Miss, I've found you." The little maid Zhihua ran over panting.
Boss Li Lingyue was unhappy and let go of the jade hand that was pulling Chen Shou's arm, frowned and said, "Didn't you tell you to go out to play today and go back later? Why are you so flustered? You don't know how to treat someone."
"I have met Manager Chen, Miss, the eldest lady calls you back quickly and said that he is a distinguished guest from the capital."
Li Lingyue was a little suspicious and tilted her head and said, "Can she be lying to me, right?"
"Really, the second young master has returned from the front line, and it is said to be welcoming a father-in-law in the palace."
Li Lingyue then believed, "My father-in-law is not staying in the palace, why are you here doing? It's really not the time." Li Lingyue was reluctant, kicked a stone away with the tip of her shoe, and forced a smile: "Then let's go back." He then moved his lips silently at Chen Shou's red red lips a few times.
Seeing that her mouth was saying "come again tomorrow", Chen Shou nodded and looked back. Miss Li Er was shy and angry and walked back to the carriage in the mansion with a maid.
Li Lingyue got out of the carriage and just stepped into the side courtyard. A tall white shadow walked out of the cave door. The person who came wore a golden crown and had long hair hanging down his chest. He was handsome and gentle. He frowned at him and wanted to speak.
"Second brother!" Li Lingyue took the initiative, stepped forward and grabbed Li Xin's arm, and smiled, "Second brother has been running back and forth, thank you for your hard work."
"You still know that Feng'er will work alone at home. If you don't help, you will know that you are running around outside. After I finish the war, I will make the decision to ask my father to find a family for you to marry, so that it will save people from being angry."
Li Lingyue was not easy to mess with, so he immediately cursed with a stern face: "You care, are you a father? Dad gave birth to two sons so unreasonable, so he has to let his daughter run errands?"
Li Xin smiled angrily. She pampered this sister since she was a child and was reluctant to speak loudly. She shook her fingers and said, "You, you have a very clenched mouth, and you never know how to give in."
"Who is this father-in-law? I have to let my second brother run back from Yinzhou?"
Li Xin looked upright and lowered her voice and said, "This Eunuch Yao is Yao Baobao, the North Secretary."
The Northern Session refers to the eunuch province located north of the Bianliang Imperial City. It belongs to the eunuch system and jointly controls Kaifeng Prefecture with the "Southern Ya" of Kaifeng Prefecture.
The Northern Division is in charge of the imperial city, so it is closer to the emperor and has greater power. The eunuch of the Bible, Yao Baobao, is a popular figure in front of the current emperor. The General's Mansion of the West has been sending gold, silver and jewelry to the palace for many years, and he dare not neglect at all.
This old guy didn't easily leave the imperial city, but this time he actually came to a border area like Liangzhou in person. Even the carefree Li Lingyue couldn't help but be shocked.
"It turned out to be him."
Li Xin looked a little happy as she walked, and said with a smile: "Brother fulfilled his mission this time and successfully asked for food and salary. Our general's mansion had been sharpening his knife for ten years, and his father had prepared for ten years. It was for this battle. Yinzhou got it, and there was no obstacle outside Hengshan. The army achieved success in one battle, and there was no disaster for the descendants."
"The mission of our Li family was completed. We finally deserved the kindness of Taizu's knowledge and whether we had let down Qin Rong's trust."
Li Xin was very happy from the bottom of her heart and was full of energy. Li Lingyue was also happy for her father and brother.
In the hall, before I could enter, I heard a hoarse laugh.
On the main seat facing east, there was an old man with white hair, short body, wearing a big red official robe, veiled on his head, and pink boots. He had square heads and big ears, and his wrinkled but very white face had no beard.
Li Lingyue knew at a glance that this was Eunuch Yao, and followed Li Xin by name and sat down aside.
Yao Baobao's power comes from the emperor. In terms of identity, he is actually far worse than that of the general's mansion.
But the situation is stronger than that of others. Nowadays, these eunuchs are making trouble.
However, Yao Baobao was very polite, talking and laughing, very humble, and had no airs of being a tyrant.
Li Lingfeng, who was standing beside him, was very good at dealing with him, and had a very harmonious conversation with Yao Baobao.
"This time we came to Liangzhou, our family was ordered by the emperor to be a matchmaker for the eldest lady of the general's mansion."
Yao Baobao smiled even brighter, but Li Lingfeng was shocked. The calmness on her face was lost for a moment, and then she turned back.
She stood up and smiled, "Then Feng'er has to avoid it, and her father-in-law and my brother will discuss it."
Li Xin was a little uncomfortable. The general's mansion was always the one who decided to marry him. The emperor suddenly pointed out that the marriage was not what it meant.
As soon as Li Lingfeng left, Yao Baobao smiled and said, "Your Majesty has six princes, but the eldest prince was born to the late noble queen, and was appointed as the crown prince by Your Majesty early. A few days ago, the crown prince's concubine passed away. Your Majesty intends to recruit the eldest lady of the General's Mansion to enter the capital to make a good relationship with the crown prince."
Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But the boy can't make the decision in this matter, so I'd better go to the army to ask my father."
Li Xin was very resistant. It is said that the prince was never loved by the emperor and was often bullied by Concubine Wu. She was so sick that she was very pitiful. If her sister married her, wouldn't she be sent to the fire pit?
Yao Baobao blew his eyelids, pushed the tea cover and blew the heat, and nodded without moving.
