Chapter 144: Changed Destiny (2)(1/2)
In the pavilion, Chen Buwei had half of his butt stained with a stool, and sat and looked towards the direction of the prince's reading.
Although he was not in front of his master, his sitting posture was still very humble, and he was not as arrogant as a eunuch.
Then, his ears moved and he slowly turned his head.
There was not much money in front of him, followed by a 16 or 17-year-old boy with a tall figure and fair face.
This young man looked different at first glance, unlike other young eunuchs who had just entered the palace, who were as timid as quails. His steps and broad shoulders made people feel at ease.
"Master, the person is here!" Qian Buduo whispered.
Chen nodded slightly and did not look away from the young eunuch. "How old?"
The little eunuch lowered his head, neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke in fluent Mandarin, "Reply to the words of the general manager, the villain is seventeen years old this year, and fifteen years old!"
At this age, Chen was very satisfied.
The eunuch is too young and unstable, and he likes to cheat and cheat on others.
"I heard that you were a scholar before, and you were a child..." Chen Buqi's eyes narrowed slightly, "The fifteen-year-old Tong Sheng has a great future! He is one step away from being a scholar. Why don't you study anymore?"
Tongsheng is the lowest fame among scholars, but the government will also provide certain subsidies.
"If you go back to the general manager, the little man is in Hebei!" the little eunuch continued to say calmly, "It can also be regarded as a scholarly family. His father was a scholar in the twelve years of Hongwu..."
"Ha!" Chen Buwei suddenly sneered, "The scholar in Hongwu for the twelve years is still a scholar now. He is an old scholar who failed the exam. The scholar who failed the exam is at most a scholar. What kind of scholarship is a scholar?"
"Don't blame me if you make a mistake!" The little eunuch said clearly.
"You keep talking!"
"Yes!" the little eunuch continued to speak, "My father is a scholar, the villain is a Tongsheng, and there are still a few acres of thin fields in the family, so it is better to live by guarding the land! The villain is usually hard-working in his studies, thinking that one day he can be ranked in the high school for the first time.
Juren, glorify his family and his ancestors and shine on his family!”
As he said that, a hint of pain suddenly appeared on his pretty face, "But..."
"Say!" Chen Buwei stared at him.
The little eunuch hesitated for a moment, "Later, an imperial envoy, Lord Li, went to Hebei to check the tax-free land mu of the gentry. My father... I was punished for helping others with fields under my name."
Speaking of this, his voice became smaller and smaller, "not only was he demoted, but he was also punished for the land tax he earned over the years... The villain's family is not well-funded, so he can only sell houses, land, and fight for the west.
My father was unable to bear the blow and passed away when he was sick!"
Chen Buwei always looked at him coldly and didn't say anything.
"My father is gone, but there are still my mother and younger brothers and sisters at home!" The little eunuch continued, "Besides, the villain was also implicated in the imperial examinations in the future because of his father's crime. The county school is already in trouble. I just want to study.
I can study in private schools, but my family has fallen into decline. My parents are not fed, and my brothers and sisters are hungry and I really have no money to continue studying!"
Chen Buwei listened carefully and thought carefully in his mind.
What the little eunuch said is true. He is an instructor, but because of serving in the Eastern Palace, the Grand Secretary said that Li Zhigang killed in various northern provinces, and many scholars were punished for helping others exempt taxes and even lost their lives.
He still lost all his fortune after fame and fortune.
"So, are you thinking about entering the palace?" Chen said in a voice.
"Yes!" the little eunuch said calmly, "The villain has been studying since he was a child and has no power to tie a chicken. He really can't make any other business! But as the eldest son, he has to support his family, so he can only do it.
......" As he said, with a little choking, "This is the only way to do it!"
"There are many bad things in this life, why do you have to be a eunuch?" Chen Buwei asked again.
"In front of the general manager, the villain dare not tell lies!" the little eunuch replied, "If you want to live, the villain can live no matter how much. But the villain is unwilling to give up and lives in a breath of lingering life!"
"If your family is defeated, you must cheer up, otherwise you will be sorry to your ancestors. It is far from enough to revitalize your family business by farming or writing and making accounts for others. The little man's younger brother is more talented than the little man in studying than the little man in his studies.
.”
"After thinking about it, only by entering the palace to be a eunuch can you have the spare energy to support him in his studies. I think one day, let him help his family be proud!"
Chen was not satisfied with this answer.
Although the eunuch has a bad reputation, after entering the palace, it is a good day that ordinary people can't look forward to.
And most importantly, the eunuchs have cash every month.
The lowest level Xiaoli also has about two silver dollars a month. During festivals or during proper holidays, he also has the kindness of his master. The people who are suffering may not be able to lose two silver dollars a year.
Most eunuchs also send money back home to help build houses and buy land. Eunuchs who are slightly more respectful in the palace have their brothers in their hometowns, and they are all landlords of all sizes.
Being a eunuch is a clear road where you can see money without suffering, and it is also a shortcut to life.
However, other eunuchs were sent or bought by their parents, while this little eunuch was cleansed by himself...
"It's cruel enough!" Chen Buyi said in his heart.
There are actually many people who are so cruel. People in the world are constantly scolding eunuchs, but there are countless people who recommend themselves and castrate themselves every year, but few of them can be selected into the palace.
Seeing that Chen was wrong, the little eunuch continued to speak, "The villain has been thinking about it, and he has to support his parents and raise his younger brothers and sisters. In the future, his younger brother will study and his younger sister will get married. The villain himself is still young, and there are many things he has to do.
It’s really not enough to have the heart and strength!”
"So the villain made up his mind and castrated himself to the Shenxingsi Department." As he said that, he paused, "Because the villain had read books and could recognize words. Therefore, the adults of the Shenxingsi Department looked up to him and then
I thought the villain looked pretty good, so I sent it to the palace..."
"Ha!" Chen Buwei suddenly sneered, "Have you used the money? How much?"
The little eunuch beat him up, "I dare not hide it from the general manager! The villain did not use money!"
"I didn't use the money, and I agreed to my annual salary in the first three years. Is it all over the person who sent you to the palace?" Chen Buwei sneered again.
The eunuch knelt down suddenly and kowtowed repeatedly.
Chen Buwei was born as a eunuch in the foreman of Jingshifang, and he knew more about these tricks in the palace than anyone else.
Being a eunuch is a shortcut, but if everyone can take it, it is not a shortcut! Shortcuts come at a price!
It is no secret that the Shenzhengsi sent people to the palace and then searched for oil and water on these eunuchs who were sent in. It has long been no secret, and it has become a hidden rule that no one can break.
"Your life is not good, you are a good student, but you have to go this way!" Chen Buwei snorted, "But your life is also very good. The person who sent you into the palace was dealt with by the prince consort. Yours
The annual salary can be completely in your own pocket!”
As he said that, he looked at the money not much, "Has I tested it?"
Qian Buduo knew what the chief executive was saying, so he quickly whispered, "The villain saw it myself, it was clean and the hair was not left behind!"
"Yeah!" Chen nodded.
Although Emperor Taizu Gao had a good lesson, the eunuchs in the palace were not allowed to read and read. But that means they were not allowed to learn to read and read in the palace, rather than saying that all the eunuchs in the palace must be blind.
Moreover, as a eunuch, it is better for those who can read and write than those who can’t read and write. Working in the palace, especially in each private warehouse, requires accounting.
"You are cruel, tsk, how could you do it?" Suddenly, Chen's wrong face suddenly had a rare smile.
"The villain drank a pound of wine before he started!" the little eunuch said kneeling, "I didn't dare to do it at first, but I thought about the scene before my father died of illness and the relatives at home, so...
.Start a lot!"
"Do you regret it?" Chen said again.
"Repent!" The little eunuch looked up with tears on his face, "But it's too late to regret!"
"What's the future?" Chen Buwei asked again.
"From the future..." the little eunuch thought, "Since you come, you will be at ease, and from now on, you will work well in the palace. Be down-to-earth, do your work diligently, work diligently and hardworking." As he said, he choked up, "I will be in this life forever."
In this way, the only hope is to take good care of your younger brother and sister and live up to the father's entrustment!"
"Be down-to-earth and do things in a good manner!" Chen Buying repeated his words and chewed repeatedly, "After all, I am a scholar, and no one can say this!"
As he said that, he looked at the little eunuch, "You don't have anything to be overwhelmed! We are eunuchs who are purified, but we are also humans! Don't be too arrogant and discouraged!"
"yes!"
The money next to him was not much heard and wondered, "The sun is coming out from the west, will General Manager Chen actually say nice things to the people below?"
Actually, he didn't know that Chen was wrong because this little eunuch remembered his life experience.
He Chen Buwei was also from an official family back then. He was injected into the palace because his father and brother committed crimes and became a eunuch.
The easiest thing that resonates between people is that they have common experiences and experiences.
"If, the scatterer means if..." Chen said without thinking, "What should you do if you have the opportunity to walk up and go close to serve your master?"
Qian Buduo suddenly widened his eyes, and his eyes were full of envy when he looked at the little eunuch.
"Loyalty to the Lord!" the little eunuch said without hesitation, "but never be a flatterer!"
"What if the things the master gave are not in accordance with the etiquette?" Chen Buwei asked again.
"Etiquette and law come first!"
"If what the master wants to do is ridiculous!"
"Dissued with all your heart!"
"What if the master doesn't listen to the advice?"
"The master may not listen, but the villain must persuade him to stop him, and his responsibilities are there!"
