Chapter 1589 is here, it is finally here
The next day, Chen Hong and other eunuchs, accompanied by Wei Guogong and others, spent the day eating, drinking and having fun around Yingtian. We also went to the Confucius Temple in the evening. When the sky was dark, Chen Hong became interested and went boating on the Qinhuai River and visited Qinhuai for ten miles.
“The Zajia family’s favorite poem is ‘Shang girls don’t know the hatred of their country’s subjugation, but they still sing the flowers in the backyard across the river’. I also hope that all of you will remember this poem. As for us, we should think about it at all times. Serve the imperial court and serve the Holy One."
Chen Hong was sitting on the cruise ship, admiring the Qinhuai River, looking at the brightly lit brothels and restaurants on both sides of the river, holding an orchid finger and said to Wei Guogong and other accompanying officials.
“Listening to my father-in-law is better than ten years of reading. When I got back, I framed this sentence, ‘The merchant girl doesn’t know the hatred of her country’s subjugation, she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river’, and hung it in the study. Every time I enter the study You must recite it silently to remind yourself to remember your father-in-law’s lesson and to always think of serving the imperial court and serving the Holy One.”
After Chen Hong finished speaking, an official immediately clapped his hands in praise and sighed as if he had benefited a lot.
"Angels are worthy of being angels. This realm is different. No wonder they have received such important responsibilities from the Holy One. When we visited the Qinhuai River, we could only see the lively brothels and restaurants on both sides of the river, and the water of the Qinhuai River was filled with the fragrance of rouge. , but my father-in-law can see loyalty to the country and loyalty to the king. , infinite care and love for our country, this kind of state is beyond our reach. We still have a lot to learn, thank you for your father-in-law’s teachings.”
Another official was not to be outdone and stepped forward. He bowed his hands deeply and gave a salute to the students to pay homage to the teacher and thank Chen Hong for his teachings.
“Thank you, father-in-law, for your teachings.” A group of officials stepped forward to thank him.
Wei Guogong opened his mouth for a long time, but he didn't say a word. Everything he wanted to say was said by this group of officials.
"No, no, Zajia just sighed casually." Chen Hong Xiupa covered his mouth and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
“The more casual you are, the more sincerity you see. This sentiment shows how concerned about the country and the people, and how dedicated he is to serving the emperor.”
A group of officials came forward to compliment him. Incessantly.
Chen Hong couldn't help but narrowed his eyes as he was surrounded by people and complimented him. He was just the censor of the Royal Horse and was responsible for delivering orders. These officials complimented him so much. If he had the censor of the censor of etiquette and walked up the Eunuchs are at their peak, and these officials are not allowed to crawl at their feet. Haha, it will definitely be more enjoyable then.
After traveling for a day and night, Chen Hong asked about the nearby scenery and seemed to have no intention of returning to Beijing.
Zhu Pingan and other officials who listened to the order had no choice but to stay in Yingtian. According to etiquette and convention, they had to see Chen Hong and other angels off. They have come all the way to announce the decree to you. It would be unjust if you didn't see them off.
"I heard that Qixia Mountain is the most beautiful mountain in Jinling. The Zajia family wants to see it. I wonder if there is an opportunity."
The next day, Chen Hong expressed his interest in Qixia Mountain. Wei Guogong and others naturally clapped their chests to express their arrangement.
So, Chen Hong and others, accompanied by Wei Guogong and others, played in Yingtian for one day, one day, and another.
Chen Hong and others have been eating, drinking and having fun in Yingtian for three days, but they still have no intention of returning to Beijing.
In the past three days, as long as Chen Hong returned to his house, officials, wealthy businessmen, and gentry would come to see him in an endless stream. Chen Hong was open-minded and would not reject anyone who came. He opened his arms to embrace visitors from all directions, and the door of his house was open around the clock.
None of these people came to see Chen Hong empty-handed. Chen Hong also cherished their bodies and felt that they were too tired to carry so many things. He enthusiastically helped them reduce their burden so that they would not have to bear the burden of worldly things. Go out light and travel light.
It can take as little as a few words, as long as a cup of tea, or as long as about a stick of incense. These visitors all returned with happy faces and satisfaction, which shows that they all achieved their wishes.
“Tsk, tsk, Chen Hong received a great gift this time. It cost tens of thousands of taels of silver at least. I’m really jealous.”
“No wonder I stayed for so long. It turns out it’s to collect money, don’t tell me, I’m going to exchange the silver for pearls, it’s not because I’m flattering the eunuch, it’s mainly because everyone has gone, and I would be a bit out of place if I didn’t go.”
All the officials are smart people, and everyone knows what is going on in Chen Hong's house.
On the fourth day, everyone felt that Chen Hong might want to go shopping somewhere else, and they had already considered taking Chen Hong to visit Wuyi Alley.
However, Chen Hong informed Wei Guogong and others that they were leaving to return to Beijing today.
This is someone who is satisfied with receiving the gift and is finally willing to leave. Everyone can't help but think secretly.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, the banks of the Qinhuai River outside Chaotian Palace were crowded with people, all respectfully seeing off Chen Hong and others as they set off back to Beijing.
The officials who came to receive the order last time, whether they were rewarded or punished or not rewarded or punished, all came to see him off without hesitation. Officials from Yingtian and nearby areas who had not received the order but had qualified status all came to see Chen Hong off. Some gentry and wealthy businessmen who had interests in Chen Hong also came to see him off. There were also some onlookers, although they were driven away a hundred meters away by the guards, they still watched the fun from a distance.
At the Qinhuai River dock outside Chaotian Palace, more than ten large ships have been packed and ready to set sail at any time.
"Thank you so much, all your lords, gentlemen, and fellow villagers for sending me off. I am deeply moved."
Chen Hong stood on the shore, clasped his fists and thanked everyone.
"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. Have a nice trip." All the officials handed him off.
"It's not hard, it's not hard, but before we leave, the Za family has one more errand to do." Chen Hong smiled slightly, scanned the crowd with his eyes, paused in one direction, and said shockingly.
"There are still errands?"
"What errands?"
All the officials were stunned, why are there still errands? If there are errands, why not do them earlier? Want to do it today? !
“An errand?! Could it be an errand to buy pearls? Aren’t there many people giving you pearls these days?!”
"Isn't it just in the name of doing errands to make more money? It's too greedy. I haven't sent you enough gold, silver and jewelry these days?! I just loaded it on the ship and pulled several carts. The surname is Li. , you know you got off the boat empty-handed four days ago?”
Everyone was waiting in their hearts.
Everyone was confused about the errand, wondering if Chen Hong wanted to take the opportunity to make money. Otherwise, why did he do it now? If it was not to make money, what kind of errand would it be? He dared to postpone it until just before leaving. manage? !
Among all the people, there is only one exception, and that is Zhu Pingan.
When Zhu Pingan heard that Chen Hong said there was another errand, he couldn't help but be excited, especially when Zhu Pingan noticed that Chen Hong glanced at Zhang Jing's position when he said there was another errand. Ping An felt even more certain.
Coming! ! !
It's finally here! ! ! ! (End of this chapter)
