Chapter 155
"Do you come here every day to listen to books?"
"Yes, I am in the private room on the second floor every day. It is normal that the young master has no impression."
The private room on the second floor... Jiang Fan immediately thought that there was a guest on the second floor who generously rewarded fifty taels of silver every day. He thought it was the eunuch in front of him. But this person only mentioned it in one word and did not mention it at all.
I mean, you are very good at being a good person.
Zhao Er took out a delicate wooden block from his arms and presented it to Jiang Fan with both hands: "Master, your majesty will listen to the storyteller today. Your identity should not always be caged with chopsticks. I specially asked a craftsman to make this piece of wake-up call."
Mu, would you like it if you try it?"
Jiang Fan took it and put it in his hand. His eyebrows twitched immediately. He looked carefully and found that it was made of agarwood. The front was carved with extremely exquisite patterns. It was definitely made by a famous craftsman. This piece of palm-sized piece was more valuable than gold of the same size.
Much.
He couldn't help but look at the eunuch in front of him. This guy was very good at getting things done, and he gave gifts calmly.
Seeing Jiang Fan looking at him, Zhao Er knew in his heart that he must have seen it, but he did not take credit for it. He just smiled and said: "Young master, there must be someone who can take advantage of the story, so that he will not lose face in front of His Majesty. Oh, by the way, there is also this
, the young master reads for half an hour every day, you can use it when you are thirsty, this thing is nothing, it has a little benefit, it can keep the water temperature for a long time. "
With that said, he handed a green gourd held by the maid to Jiang Fan.
Having learned from the past, Jiang Fan knew that this gourd must be extraordinary. Sure enough, it was made of warm jade. Well, if agarwood is more expensive than gold, this thing is worth at least a hundred times.
"Eunuch Zhao...what do you mean?"
Zhao Er said: "Master, just call me Zhao Er. These are just gadgets for storytelling. Master, please don't refuse."
He spoke in an understatement, his attitude was sincere, and his reasons were hard to refuse.
Jiang Fan looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Okay, if you're interested, I'll accept it."
Zhao Er was immediately overjoyed. Being able to give gifts successfully meant that the relationship between the two had taken a further step forward.
"I wonder what else the young master needs to prepare today. I am willing to do it for you."
Jiang Fan said: "It's okay, just like usual, no need to prepare anything."
Zhao Er also said goodbye very wisely: "In that case, I won't bother you anymore and take my leave."
Jiang Fan didn't show off his guests either, and extended his hand slightly: "Go slowly, Yanzi, see off the guests on my behalf."
"Don't dare bother me, don't dare bother me... Commander Gu will stay."
Zhao Er left with a smile on his face.
Jiang Fan looked at the gourd and Xingmu in his hands thoughtfully.
Gu Beiyan said: "I have met this man. He is also a man of both sides among the eunuchs. Many people privately regard him as the leader. Today he sent these things, which may seem inconspicuous and are at least worth a thousand gold. But as he said, the young master's love for him
It’s hard to find a favor even if it’s a thousand dollars. There’s no need to be polite to him.”
Jiang Fan shook his head and smiled faintly: "This Zhao Er...is somewhat interesting..."
While there was still some time, Gu Beiyan introduced the four Dragon Eagle Guards to Jiang Fan.
"They were all my subordinates originally. The names of the Dragon Eagle Guards were all given by the commander. We belong to the Qinglong Guards, one of the three dragon guards. They are Long One, Long Two, Long Three, and Long Four. Long Yi's cultivation level
The highest level, the Grandmaster realm, and the other three great martial artists’ peak realms.”
The four of them greeted Jiang Fan again. Jiang Fan smiled and said, "No need to be polite. From now on we are all one family. Just call me son. Speaking of which, it is all because of me that you were demoted. I'm sorry."
"You absolutely don't dare. It's an honor for the four of us to follow the young master."
Long Yi cupped his fists and said. He did not lie about this matter. Although it is a great honor to be selected into the Dragon Eagle Guard, it is impossible to stay in the Dragon Eagle Guard for the rest of his life. After a certain age, he must have a destination. And they are not stupid, either.
Jiang Fan has such a close relationship with His Majesty, being his bodyguard is better than anywhere else.
"From now on, the four of you will be responsible for the security of the home and the concierge's communication." Gu Beiyan arranged.
"yes!"
"These two girls, please introduce yourself to the young master."
The two women were not very old, only about sixteen or seventeen years old. And they were born exactly the same, and they were actually twins.
The girl on the left stepped forward, curtsied and saluted.
"Master, my name is Xie Xiaohua, my elder sister, and my younger sister's name is Xie Xiaoyu."
Xie Xiaoyu also stepped forward and saluted: "I have met the master, mistress."
Jiang Fan couldn't help but smile, they were such a talkative couple.
However, the sound of the mistress made Gu Beiyan stunned for a moment, and then said: "Don't scream, I am the master's maid, just like you."
The two looked at each other and apologized quickly.
Jiang Fan smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, she is the housekeeper, you can just call her housekeeper."
Gu Beiyan was promoted, so she didn't say anything about it. It was probably just that.
"From now on, you two will be responsible for washing, cleaning and other chores."
Even if Gu Beiyan arranged for six people to do things, it would be very inconvenient for such a big house without a concierge, guards, and maids. With these six people, security, communication, and cleaning would be much easier.
But compared to this big house, there are still few people. Brother Taohua will be back soon... Jiang Fan thought.
It was almost noon and Jiang Fan had arrived at Penglai Residence. As soon as he entered, the sight in front of him made him startled.
As usual, the house was full of guests, but all of these people were of extraordinary appearance. Although they were wearing casual clothes, they could not conceal their magnanimity. Looking at the empress sitting in the middle, it was immediately clear that there was probably not a single commoner among them today.
The proprietor and the shopkeeper were almost crazy with anxiety. They actually asked His Majesty and all the civil and military officials to wait. Jiang Fan, you are so awesome. They quickly ran over and said timidly: "My young master, why are you here? Your Majesty and the others have all arrived."
It’s tea time, come and see me."
At this time, the civil and military officials were also looking at the storyteller curiously. He was unimaginably young, at least sixteen or seventeen years old. He was dressed in loose white clothes, had long hair, and had a delicate face. He looked like an elegant young man.
It's just that there is a lazy smile on the corners of the young man's eyes and lips, which makes him seem a little cynical.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Fan waved his hand to his employer: "They are just here to listen to the book, so why should they be polite?"
After that, he walked directly to his table.
The proprietor was stunned, "You..."
Those were His Majesty and all the civil and military officials, the most elite beings in the Qin Dynasty. However, at this moment, she did not dare to say anything and hurriedly stepped aside.
Many officials were secretly surprised by Jiang Fan's behavior. Didn't this guy know who the people were here today? How could he be so casual, even asking for help? Many people suspected that this guy was either really crazy or fake and arrogant.
Only Mr. Meng Ao couldn't help but laugh, this kid is really interesting.
But Xu Fu's face showed deep thought after a flash of surprise. This young man was actually the young man who once lived in His Majesty's palace. No wonder His Majesty said he had seen it. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the empress from the corner of his eye. She looked plain.
, can't see any difference.
Jiang Fan looked around and suddenly said: "Shopkeeper, where are the pair of grandsons who play the erhu and sell dried fruits? Let them in."
The shopkeeper knew who he was talking about as soon as he heard it. Five days ago, an old man came to the restaurant with a young girl, hoping to come in and beg for food. The shopkeeper was about to refuse, but Jiang Fan asked them to come in, and
Let them play the erhu for customers in this building and sell dried fruits to earn a living.
But when is this now? Your Majesty is here in person, and there are all the civil and military officials, and you actually let a pair of common people come in? Are you crazy?
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Jiang Fan, Your Majesty is here, don't mess around, hurry up and tell the story.
Jiang Fan frowned and said again: "Let them come in, and the people will listen. Many people today cannot listen to the book, and we have to rely on them to spread the word."
Boss Wang and Shopkeeper Liu's calves began to twist. Not to mention them, even many officials were a little unhappy. If the empress hadn't spoken out, many people would have scolded them.
Boss Wang was full of anxiety and was about to say something, but he heard the empress say calmly: "That's right."
The two of them were relieved and hurriedly ran out to find the grandfather and grandson.
