The best eunuch

Chapter 5 Write Letters for You

Back at the imperial hospital, Liang Xin could tell that Chen Yuding was a little unhappy, even a little uneasy.After arranging some study tasks for Liang Xin, Chen Yuding left the palace early and went home.

Chen Yuding is the chief of the imperial hospital, Liang Xin naturally has many privileges as Chen Yuding's apprentice.For example, now he doesn't have to do any heavy work all afternoon, he just goes to the Royal Medicine Academy to familiarize himself with various medicinal materials one by one according to the "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic" given to him by Chen Yuding.

Arriving at the Imperial Medicine Academy, Liang Xin saw Xiao Chunzi sitting in the yard leisurely basking in the sun after stepping through the gate, and the other three young eunuchs who seemed to be newly transferred to the Imperial Medicine Academy were cleaning the yard.

Xiao Chunzi saw Liang Xin jump up from his chair and shouted, "Brother Fu!"

Liang Xin knocked Xiao Chunzi on the head and said: "I don't have a long memory, I have already called my real name Liang Xin. You will call me Brother Xin in the future. It only takes two hours, and my status has improved a lot." Liang Xin Xin pointed to the three little eunuchs around him.

"Oh, yes, yes, Brother Xin, Brother Xin."

Xiaochunzi clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Hey, all of you come here."

Three little eunuchs ran over with broomsticks in their hands, and Xiao Chunzi said directly to Liang Xin proudly: "Let me introduce to you, this is my elder brother Liang Xin. He is the apprentice of the Chief Physician Chen of the Imperial Hospital. Why are you standing there in a daze? Call me Lord Salary."

"Master Xin, Master Xin..." the three little eunuchs shouted obsequiously.

Liang Xin waved his hand and said, "Everyone, you're welcome, you all go to work, I have something to do with Xiao Chunzi."

"Yes, Mr. Xin." The three young eunuchs bowed and retreated in response.

Xiaochunzi smiled and said, "Brother Xin, just tell me what you want to do, Xiaochunzi will never refuse anything he can do."

"It's nothing to worry about. You can take me to the warehouse of the Imperial Medicine Academy later. I'll take a look at the herbs and get familiar with their properties." Liang Xin said.

"No problem. I'll open the warehouse door for Brother Xin right away." Xiaochunzi patted his chest and said.

Liang Xin nodded and followed Xiao Chunzi into the warehouse of the Royal Medicine Academy.After staying in the warehouse for two or three hours, Liang Xin used his super strong and abnormal memory to memorize hundreds of medicinal materials one by one in his heart.

Coming out of the storeroom, Xiao Chunzi hurried up and said, "Brother Xin is done?"

Liang Xin nodded: "Well, it's okay. I'm leaving first, and I'll see you another day."

"Don't." Xiao Chunzi quickly pulled Liang Xin and said, "Brother Xin, I have something to ask of you."

"Is there something? What's the matter?" Liang Xin asked.

Xiaochunzi rubbed his hands and took out a letter from his arms: "I know Brother Xin, you can read. My family sent me a letter from home. I want you to read it to me."

"Oh, that's it." Liang Xin took the envelope and opened it, took out the letter paper and shook it open, and began to read: "My son? Xiao Chunzi, isn't this written for you?"

"It's mine." Xiao Chunzi scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "Goudan is my nickname."

"Oh." Liang Xin nodded and continued to read. The three letters were all greetings from Xiaochunzi's father, mother, two younger brothers and a younger sister. Xiaochunzi heard tears streaming down his face.In the end, he started to break down and cry bitterly.

Liang Xin couldn't bear to see Xiao Chunzi crying bitterly, he patted Xiao Chunzi on the shoulder but didn't know how to comfort him.After a while, Liang Xin suddenly thought, "Xiao Chunzi, stop crying, how about I write a reply letter for you?"

"Write a reply letter?" Xiao Chunzi really stopped crying, and looked up with surprise.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, literati were compared to heaven's charming son Wenquxing descending to earth, and few people in the entire palace could read and write except officials and doctors.Even if there are a few eunuchs who have studied in private schools for a year or two, their cultural level is not high, and they all have grades.It would never be possible to write a reply to a low-quality eunuch like Xiao Chunzi.

"Why are you so excited? Isn't it just to reply to the letter, you go and get me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I will write to you right away." Liang Xin said with a smile.

"Okay!" Xiao Chunzi responded cheerfully, turned around and ran into the Royal Medicine Academy.

Liang Xin shook his head with a smile, and walked slowly back to the Royal Medicine Academy.

It was getting dark, Xiao Chunzi lit a candle for Liang Xin.One of the three little eunuchs was grinding, one was making tea, and the other was preparing to pick the candle wick.They looked at Liang Xin like a Western trick, because Liang Xin was the first person who was willing to write a family letter to the little eunuch Meipin.

Liang Xin took the brush and dipped the ink in the inkstone, and then Xiao Chunzi began to read Liang Xin and began to write.In order to make it easier for Xiaochunzi's parents to find someone to read, Liang Xin used very block letters when writing willow.

Xiaochunzi seemed to have a thousand words to say, until the little eunuch Xiaoduzi who was watching said that he was out of ink, Xiaochunzi found out that Liang Xin had written more than a dozen papers for him, so he stopped quickly.

Liang Xin stretched his waist, picked up the letter paper and dried it, and said, "Xiao Chunzi, I'll read it for you to see if there is anything that needs to be revised."

Liang Xin took the letter paper and read it carefully to Xiaochunzi, then asked, "Is there anything Xiaochunzi needs to change?"

Xiaochunzi burst into tears, and said with emotion: "Brother Xin..." After that, he was choked up and couldn't speak.

Liang Xin patted Xiao Chunzi on the shoulder and said, "We are good brothers, I just wrote you a letter, so why are you so moved?"

Xiao Chunzi kept sobbing and crying, Liang Xin looked out the window and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back to the imperial hospital, I'll come see you when I'm free."

Xiao Chunzi took out an ingot of silver from his bosom and stuffed it into Liang Xin's hand, saying, "Brother Xin, this moistening pen..."

Liang Xin froze for a moment, then became angry.He stuffed the money back into Xiaochunzi's hand and said, "Xiaochunzi, you look down on me, don't you. With our relationship, if I help you write a letter, what kind of money will you give me?"

Xiaochunzi was slightly taken aback and said, "It's not brother Xin, is this the rule?"

"What's the rule? There is no such rule between us, you collect the money yourself!" Liang Xin was angry, and Xiao Chunzi didn't dare to refuse and quickly took the money back.

Liang Xin smiled and said, "That's about the same, I'm leaving."

Xiao Duzi and the three eunuchs looked at each other, and the three of them suddenly knelt in front of Liang Xin and said, "Master Xin! Master Lao Xin took the trouble to write a letter to the three of us."

"You want to write too?" Liang Xin asked in a daze.

"What are you guys, you dare to bother Brother Xin to write you a letter from home?" Xiaochunzi said angrily.

Liang Xin stopped Xiaochunzi and said: "It's just writing a letter to the family, it's not a big deal. How about it, it's getting late today, and if I don't leave the palace, there will be a curfew. You come to the imperial hospital tomorrow to find me, and then I'll come back." Write it for you."

The three of Xiaoduzi were overjoyed, and kowtowed one after another: "Thank you so much, Master Xin, thank you so much..."

"Okay, you're welcome, you are Xiaochunzi's friends, that is, my Liang Xin's friends. It's only right for friends to help each other."

While Liang Xin was talking, he helped the three of Xiaoduzi up. Xiao Chunzi was as excited as if he wanted to get blood all over his body when he heard Liang Xin's words, and the expression on his face was as comfortable as if his bones were lightened by a few taels.

On the way back to the Royal Medicine Academy, Liang Xin passed Yuhan Palace.

Yuhan Palace is a cold palace. According to the memory of Xiao Fuzi in Liang Xin's mind, there seems to be a Zhaoyi surnamed Wang living in this cold palace.Zhaoyi is a level of imperial concubine, one grade lower than concubine, and belongs to one of the nine concubines.

As soon as Liang Xin approached the Yuhan Palace, he faintly heard the sound of a piano.The sound of the piano is mellow and whispering, straight to the heart, and even Liang Xin, who doesn't know the rhythm very well, seems to understand the sadness and loneliness contained in the sound of the piano.

Liang Xin subconsciously followed the place where the sound of the piano came from, and walked into the Yuhan Palace after turning around three times.Passing through the gate of the Yuhan Palace, the whole playground is gusty. No wonder there are people in the palace who say that the Yuhan Palace lived and died with seven concubines, and it is an out-and-out ghost palace.

Entering the palace, the sound of the piano became clearer, and the sad sound of the piano made Liang Xin feel blocked, as if there was an uneasy emotion that could not be vented.

Liang Xin pushed open the main entrance of Yuhan Palace and walked into the main hall, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

A cold voice came from the darkness and asked: "Although this palace has been thrown into the cold palace, it should not have fallen to the point where a rankless little eunuch can break into this palace at will, right?"

Liang Xin trembled all over, and hurriedly explained as if waking up from a dream: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The slave happened to pass by the Yuhan Palace. After hearing the beautiful music of the empress, he involuntarily broke in. The slave should die, please forgive me."

Although he was very reluctant, Liang Xin still fell to his knees on the ground.After all, if Wang Zhaoyi reported this matter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, those who waited for Liang's salary would have only one end, death!

Wang Zhaoyi in the darkness was silent for a moment, and then came a sigh: "Can you understand my piano sound?"

"The mood falls on the ten fingers, and the melody is sad in a cup." Liang Xin couldn't help but reflect on the previous piano sound and said: "I want to put my heart on Yaoqin. There are few bosom friends, who will listen to the broken strings?"
