Chapter 318 Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea
After Chen Hong got off duty, he got into a warm sedan chair and went back to his mansion in Juer Hutong outside Bei'anmen.
Eunuch Chen lives in the Wujin Mansion, where there are more than 200 housekeepers, servants, maids and mothers.
Although he was a eunuch, he also married a wife and four concubines, and adopted several nieces and nieces in the mansion. He almost had a neat family.
When my father-in-law returned to the mansion, his beautiful wives and concubines quickly welcomed him into the house, changed his clothes, took off his shoes, and changed into his home clothes. While massaged him, he asked him softly whether he had worked hard last night and whether there was anything unhappy.
While talking, he also fed him the soup. He was extremely satisfied with serving Eunuch Chen, and he felt that his original choice was not wrong...
Although I paid some physical price, if I still stayed in my hometown in Xinyang, I would definitely not be able to marry a wife now. That thing is not useful and I will only cause trouble.
Eunuch Chen comforted himself and asked his adopted eldest son Chen Dafa to go next door to invite Shao Daxia to come.
He and the hero of Danyang were considered old acquaintances. When Chen Hong was the Imperial Supervisor and was responsible for purchasing supplies for the palace, he met Shao Fang.
Shao Daxia's greatest ability is to make friends with anyone, including eunuchs. Chen Hong also intends to make friends with this great hero in Jiangnan, who has great magical powers. After a while, the two became good friends.
When Chen Hong was able to become the eunuch of the Imperial Prison, and then went to the Sili Prison, Shao Fang made great efforts... The elixirs, secret recipes, utensils and other elixirs presented to Emperor Longqing were all collected by Shao Daxia for him from home and abroad. The relationship between the two naturally became closer.
Why did Shao Fang dare to speak out loud and take a lot of money and say that he could make Xu Jiegao recover? In fact, it was Chen Hong's card.
Of course, you can also say that this is too unreliable? Chen Hong was only in the fourth seat in the Sili Supervisory Office, so where did he get such great ability?
But don’t the people in the martial arts world survive by bragging about Bo Yi? Shao Daxia is considered very conscientious.
~~
After a while, Shao Fang came.
After he entered Beijing two months ago, he bought a house next to Chen Hong's house. As long as Chen Hong was not on duty, the two of them would play tricks, Jiao Buli Meng.
Under Shao Fang's teasing, Eunuch Chen was finally no longer satisfied with his wife and children's warm kang, and ignited the ambition to win the imperial eunuch.
Through repeated brainwashing, Shao Fang made Chen Hong realize that as long as Gao Gong recovered, he could become the boss and eunuch. Just as he saw some hope, he quickly reported the good news to Shao Fang.
Shao Daxia was worried that Gao Gong could not pass the court. He heard Eunuch Chen talk about the roundabout tactics that Zhang Juzheng had come up with, and he couldn't help but be happy.
I secretly said that I can explain to Mr. Gao now!
But he said calmly: "The eight characters are not yet spoken, so don't be too happy too early. Let's wait and celebrate when there is a correct letter."
"Brother is just mature! Listen to you." Chen Hong gave up the idea of celebrating well.
Little did he know that Shao Fang just wants to go home and think about it now, and see how to boast about himself in the letter to Gao Gong, so that Gao Gong would believe that he was the number one hero who helped him out.
In the blink of an eye, Shao Daxia had already fabricated how he defeated the five major links and seven major difficulties one by one, which almost moved him to tears.

In the evening, the snow was still falling, but there was no snow on the streets of Shijia Hutong in Dongcheng, and charcoal slag was sprinkled on the ground to prevent slip.
This was done by the soldiers of the Dongcheng Military Police, but not all alleys have this treatment. Only those who happen to live in the same alley as high-ranking officials in the court can benefit from it.
Maybe this is life.
The family that started with the Shijia Hutong was the mansion of Wang Bengu, the Minister of Personnel.
This fall, Wang Bengu, who was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, finished his day's work and returned to the mansion in a sedan chair.
The foyer of his house is connected to the sedan hall, and the sedan can be carried directly into it.
The servant ordered a very large charcoal basin in the sedan hall, so that the master could not feel the coldness after getting off the sedan.
The butler lifted the thick curtain of the sedan chair and asked Wang Bengu to get out of the sedan chair.
Wang Bengu was very powerful and still did not smile when he returned home. He walked along the airtight warm corridor without squinting.
The housekeeper bowed and reported in a low voice: "Master Qi, Xu Wu is here."
Wang Bengu said calmly: "How long have you been here?"
"It's been here at noon and I've been waiting in the flower hall." The butler whispered: "From that attitude, I don't plan to leave if I can't see the master today."
"It's coming quickly enough." Wang Bengu frowned slightly, and continued to raise his head and said, "Let him wait in the study."
"Yes." The butler responded and hurried to pass it on.
~~
Although Mr. Xu has retired and left Beijing, dozens of stores in the Xu family in the capital are still operating as usual.
Especially when overseas sales are broken, the importance of the Beijing market is highlighted. Compared with the other companies, the reason why the Xu family is better is that their family mainly produces cotton cloth and domestic sales are also good. Second, it monopolizes the Beijing cotton cloth market, alleviating the pressure of collecting funds.
Therefore, the Xu family left Xu Wu, the most capable manager, in the capital and asked him to take good care of the business in the capital.
Early this morning, Xu Wu received an urgent letter from Songjiang... It was a while earlier than the court's Pegasus urgent delivery.
Then he followed Master Xu's instructions and asked to see Wang Bengu.
Of course Xu Wu knew that Wang Bengu could not go home until dark. But he still came to wait early and made a full gesture.
It was dark and I finally saw someone.
He followed the butler to the study and saw Wang Bengu wearing a well-cut Songjiang blue cloth green robe. Although he was at home, he was still wearing a net scarf on his head, meticulously cage over his head.
"The villain greets the young tomb priest." Xu Wu quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"I already know your purpose." Wang Bengu said coldly: "Mr. Cunzhai is so anxious to call you over. Is there anything to do with that matter?"
"Of course not." Xu Wu hurriedly denied: "Who is our Xu family? How could he do such a dying thing?"
"Then what are you doing?" Wang Bengu sneered.
"No one hurts the heart of a tiger, and a tiger is harmful to others." Xu Wu Tang said without any leakage: "In order to prevent problems before they happen, and to allow the people of Jiangnan to have a good life, please ask the young master to choose a kind governor for the ten prefectures of Jiangnan."
"How can I have that ability?" Wang Bengu showed an inhuman look.
"This is the candidate that the old man can accept." Xu Wu raised his head, presented a list with both hands, and said to himself: "Shao Zuo Zuo is also asked to see if the relationship between the past is not sluggish. After the matter is completed, the past will be written off, and my Xu family will no longer bother Shao Zuo."
"Take it serious?" Wang Bengu's face changed immediately.
"Take it seriously." Xu Wuzhong said: "The guarantee letter written by the young tomb master at that time will be returned together."
That was the nightmare that had bothered him for ten years. Wang Bengu stared at Xu Wu with a long look at him for a while, and finally reached out to take the list.
