The best eunuch

Just entered the night.After Liang Xin sent away the last eunuch who asked him to write a letter for him, he was about to close the door and go to sleep. Suddenly, Li Zhuyu and Li Zhaorong walked into the room accompanied by a maid.

Liang Xin hurriedly bowed to Li Zhaorong: "The slave sees your mother."

Li Zhaorong raised his right hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite."

Liang Xin heard the words and replied: "Thank you, Madam." Then he stood up, and after getting up, according to the rules, Liang Xinde cupped his hands and asked, "I don't know what your majesty ordered when you came to find this servant?"

Li Zhaorong glanced sideways at the maid, who immediately went to close the door of Liang Xin's room.Then Li Zhaorong reached out and took out a letter from the inner lining of his clothes and handed it to Liang Xin: "I have a letter here in this palace, I would like you to read it for me."

Liang Xin received the letter, and suddenly remembered that Li Zhaorong was originally the daughter of the owner of the Yunlai Inn in Bianjing City. One day, Zhao Ji took her into the palace to favor her as Zhao Rong when she went out to play in micro-clothes.

However, Zhao Ji had a romantic nature and just favored Li Zhuyu, and soon left her behind. Poor Li Zhuyu, a folk woman, has no family or roots in the palace, and her life is very difficult.And in the Northern Song Dynasty, when it was preached that a woman's ignorance is virtue, she couldn't even understand a letter from her family, so she had to come to pray for a little eunuch like Liang Xin to help her read it.

Thoughts in Liang Xin's mind turned in his hands but he didn't stop at all. After opening the letter, Liang Xin glanced briefly, and then frowned.The content of the letter is not long, only more than 500 characters, but the content is very unacceptable.Aside from those short greetings, the whole letter is Li Zhuyu's family telling Li Zhuyu's family that the inn in Li Zhuyu's house caught fire unexpectedly and burned down. I just want Li Zhuyu to send 100 taels of silver to her family to treat her father's illness.

After Liang Xin took a look at Li Zhuyu, he reaffirmed his belief. After hearing this, Li Zhaorong burst into tears, and his whole body swayed weakly.

"100 taels of silver? Where can I get 100 taels of silver?" Li Zhuyu was in a trance for a while, claiming that she had forgotten to use the name "I" instead.

100 taels of silver is more or less, but it is not surprising that Li Zhuyu can't get it out.As a concubine of Zhaorong, she is responsible for the internal affairs treasury of the palace, and the jewels bestowed by the emperor cannot be sold. To put it bluntly, she may be poorer than ordinary court ladies. Typical It belongs to the type of external light and internal space.

Of course, such things can usually be reported to the emperor and the emperor will be gracious to deal with it, but Li Zhuyu has only been with the emperor for three days in the six years since he entered the palace.

Or because she was anxious and sad, Li Zhuyu sat in Liang Xin's house and wept bitterly, and the little maid beside her also cried bitterly.

Seeing Li Zhuyu such a beautiful Lihua with tears in her eyes, Liang Xin felt a little unbearable. He went into the back room and opened his closet to take out two ingots of gold ingots.

This gold ingot was rewarded by the empress to Liang Xin. There were five ingots in total, and each ingot weighed five taels. The two ingots added up to ten taels worth more than 100 taels of silver.

Liang Xin walked to the main hall and put two ingots of gold ingots beside Li Zhuyu and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have twelve taels of gold here for you to give to your Empress for emergencies."

Li Zhuyu turned her head and saw that the two ingots of gold ingots on the table were shining brightly, which showed that they were of good quality.

"How can this make it so, how can we ask for your gold if we are not relatives?"

Liang Xin bowed slightly and said: "Why did you say that, you are the master and I am the slave. The master uses the slave's things to give the slave grace. Is there any reason for it?" The feudalism that is shouting all evil, all evil!

"This..." Li Zhuyu was stunned, she had never received such respect in the palace.Because she was not favored, the servants in the palace had long been disdainful of her. Even those servants who went to the internal affairs storehouse to get monthly rouge, gouache, clothes, shoes and pantyhose dared to show face to their maids and often made things difficult on purpose.

After thinking for a while, Li Zhuyu looked up at Liang Xin and said, "I will accept the gold first. I, Li Zhuyu, will definitely remember your friendship. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."

"Your Majesty is serious." Liang Xin nodded slightly.

Li Zhuyu took a deep breath and wiped away her tears before saying to the maid beside her, "It's getting late, Yue'er, let's go back first."

"My lady, go slowly." Liang Xin said with a bow.

Li Zhuyu looked back at Liang Xin and said, "I thought the world in this palace was cold and cold, but I didn't expect that it made me see that there is still true love in this world. Thank you." leave.

Liang Xin shook his head and said to himself: "There are three thousand beauties in the deep palace, how many resentful women are there." Just as the door was closed, there was another knock on the door.

Liang Xin was a little depressed, and asked rather displeasedly: "Who is it?"

"Brother Xin is me, Little Li from the imperial dining room."

"Little Lizi?" Liang Xin frowned and thought for a while, but he really couldn't remember who this little Lizi was. In his mind, he probably was the little eunuch who once asked him to write a letter.

Liang Xin went to the door and opened it, only to see an old eunuch who looked to be in his 40s following behind Xiao Lizi.The old eunuch was dressed in dragon robes and python robes, so he seemed to be a high-ranking eunuch.

In line with the principle of being courteous to many people, Liang Xin bowed slightly to the old eunuch and said: "The younger sees the father-in-law."

The old eunuch nodded slightly and said: "You don't need to be polite, I am Xiao Lizi's uncle Wang An. I came here today because I have something to ask, and I hope you don't refuse."

As he spoke, Wang An raised his hand to show a stack of rice paper, on which were placed two ingots of very fine gold ingots.

"Two ingots just disappeared and two ingots came in again?" Liang Xin wondered in his heart who is this Wang An who is so generous.

No matter who it is, Liang Xin has no reason to refuse since he sent money to his door.After welcoming Wang An and Xiao Lizi into the house, Liang Xin unfolded the rice paper and looked at it. Liang Xin fell in love with it at the first sight, and blurted out, "Is this Liu Gongquan's "Book on the Rise of the Summer Puppet?"?"

"That's right." Wang An showed admiration, thinking in his heart that he really did not find the wrong person.

Liang Xin looked at it infatuatedly and said with regret: "It's a copy, but what is certain is that the copy is the real one."

"Of course it's an authentic work." Wang An was even more sure that he had read the right person, and he got up smoothly and said, "I came here this time to hope that brother, you can write it in willow script according to the content in the calligraphy, so that my father-in-law can use it as a collection. "

Liang Xin nodded, then turned his eyes and said: "Of course there is no problem in transcribing it once, and it doesn't matter if the willow style or the face style is the same. But do you have to leave a name at the end of the calligraphy, otherwise the father-in-law will not be able to tell whether the calligraphy and painting are real or not in the future. , who did it."

Wang An raised his eyebrows, and he immediately understood that Liang Xin had guessed what was going on.Indeed, this was something Wang An himself hadn't considered. If Zhao Huan's name hadn't been left behind, Zhao Huan would have to sign it himself when he brought it back to the Prince's Mansion.However, the signature and the calligraphy handwriting are very different, and the location of the Jiaodao Shengshang will definitely be seen through at a glance.

After pondering for a while, Wang An nodded and said, "Little Li, go out first, my father-in-law has a few private words that I want to discuss with Brother Liang Xin alone."

"It's uncle." Hearing this, Xiao Lizi immediately walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

At this time, Wang An mysteriously lowered his voice and said to Liang Xin: "The signature is Zhao Huan."

Liang Xin was slightly startled, looked at Wang An and said in a low voice, "Prince?"

Wang An nodded and said: "This matter is top secret, if you leak the secret, you will surely die, so remember to keep your mouth shut."

Liang Xin sneered in his heart, thinking that Song Qinzong was really a pussy, and even if he wrote a word, he had to hire a gunman. No wonder he died so badly in his later years.

awful?Liang Xin broke out in a cold sweat from behind. From the time he traveled back to the Northern Song Dynasty until now, he still remembered the history of the Northern Song Dynasty once.It has been Zhenghe five years now, and it is not far from the time when the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty and then went south to invade the Song Dynasty and create the shame of Jingkang.
