Chapter 318: Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea
After Chen Hong got off duty, he got on the sedan chair and went back to his mansion in Ju'er Hutong outside Bei'anmen.
Father-in-law Chen lives in a five-entry mansion, and there are more than 200 housekeepers, servants, maids, and mothers-in-law in the house.
Don't look at him as a eunuch, but he also married a wife and four concubines, and raised several nephews and nieces in the mansion, almost a neat family.
When the father-in-law returned to the house, the beautiful wives and concubines hurriedly welcomed him into the house, changed his clothes, took off his hat and shoes, changed into a robe at home, and then massaged him while asking him in a soft voice if he had worked hard last night and if anything went wrong.
While talking to himself, he also fed him soup. I was extremely satisfied with serving my father-in-law, and I only felt that my original choice was not wrong......
Although he paid some physical price, if he stayed in Xinyang's hometown, he would definitely not be able to marry a daughter-in-law now, and he would not be able to use that thing, and it would be troublesome.
Chen Gonggong comforted himself, and asked his eldest son Chen Dafa to go next door to invite Shao Daxia over.
He and that Danyang hero are also old acquaintances. When Chen Hong was still the general of the imperial prison and was responsible for purchasing materials for the palace, he met Shao Fang.
Shao Daxia's greatest ability is to make friends with anyone, including eunuchs, of course. Chen Hong also intended to make friends with this powerful No. 1 hero in Jiangnan, and the two became good friends after coming and going.
At the beginning, Chen Hongneng became the imperial eunuch, and then entered the ceremonial eunuch, Shao Fang made a great effort...... The elixirs, secret recipes, and utensils that Gonggong Chen presented to Emperor Longqing were all collected by Shao Daxia for him from home and abroad. The relationship between the two naturally became closer.
Why did Shao Fang dare to say that he could make Xu Jiegao regain his body? In fact, it depends on Chen Hong's card.
Of course, you can also say that this is too unreliable, right? Chen Hong only sat in the fourth position in the celebrant supervisor, where did he come from so capable?
But don't people in the rivers and lakes live by bragging? Shao Daxia, this can be regarded as very conscientious.
~~
After a while, Shao Fang came.
After he went to Beijing in February, he bought a house next door to Chen Hong's house and lived there. As long as Chen Hong is not on duty, the two of them will play together, and they will not leave Meng.
Under Shao Fang's teasing, Gonggong Chen was finally no longer satisfied with his wife and children's hot kang head, and ignited the ambition of winning the title of eunuch.
Through repeated brainwashing, Shao Fang made Chen Hong believe that as long as Gao Gong recovered, he could become the boss and eunuch. No, just after seeing a little hope, he hurriedly reported the good news to Shao Fang.
Shao Daxia was worried about Gao Gong's delay in passing the court push, and listened to Gonggong Chen talk about the roundabout tactics that Zhang Juzheng came up with, and couldn't help but blossom.
The secret road can be regarded as an explanation to Gao Xianggong now!
But he said quietly: "The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, don't be happy too early." Let's wait and see what happens, and then celebrate when we have a quasi-letter. ”
"My brother is an old man! Listen to you. Chen Hong dispelled the idea of celebrating.
As everyone knows, Shao Fang just wants to go home and ponder now, to see how to boast in the letter to Gao Gong, and make Gao Xianggong believe that he is the number one hero who helped him get out of the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, Shao Daxia had already made up how he broke through the five major links and seven difficulties one by one, and almost moved himself to tears.

In the evening, the snow was still falling, but there was no snow on the streets of Dongcheng Shijia Hutong, and charcoal was sprinkled on the ground to prevent slipping.
This is the work of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division, but not all Hutongs have this treatment. Only those who happen to live in the same alley as high-ranking officials of the imperial court can follow the light.
Perhaps, this is life.
The first household in this Shijia Hutong is the mansion of Wang Bengu, the servant of the ministry.
Wang Bengu, who went one step further this autumn and was promoted to the left attendant of the ministry, finished his day's work and returned to the house in a sedan chair.
The foyer of his house is connected to the sedan hall, and the sedan chair can be carried directly in.
The servant lit a large charcoal basin in the sedan hall, so that the old man could not feel a trace of cold after getting off the sedan chair.
The housekeeper lifted the thick sedan curtain and respectfully asked Wang Bengu to get off the sedan chair.
Wang Bengu is very powerful, and he still doesn't smile when he returns home. Without squinting, he walked along the airtight corridor to the back house.
The housekeeper bowed down and followed behind, and whispered: "Master Qiyu, Xu Wu is here." ”
Wang Bengu said quietly: "How long have you been here?" ”
"It's noon, and I've been waiting in the flower hall." The housekeeper said softly: "Look at that posture, I don't plan to leave if I don't see the master today." ”
"It's fast enough." Wang Bengu frowned slightly, and continued to raise his head and said, "Let him wait in the study." ”
"Yes." The housekeeper answered and hurriedly went to pass the word.
~~
Although Xu Ge Lao has left Beijing, dozens of Xu family's stores in the capital are still operating as usual.
Especially in the case of overseas sales, the importance of the Beijing market is highlighted. Compared with several others, the reason why the Xu family can do better is because their family mainly produces cotton cloth, and their domestic sales are also good. The second is to monopolize the cotton cloth market in the capital and relieve the pressure of repayment.
Therefore, the Xu family left the most capable steward Xu Wu in the capital and asked him to take care of the business in the capital.
Early this morning, Xu Wu received an urgent letter from Songjiang...... It arrived a little earlier than the imperial court's Pegasus Express.
Then he followed Xu Ge's instructions and came to see Wang Bengu.
Of course, Xu Wu knew that Wang Bengu would not be able to go home until dark. But he still came early to sit and wait, and made a gesture.
It was dark and I finally saw someone.
He followed the housekeeper to the study, and saw Wang Bengu wearing a well-cut Songjiang blue cloth Qingyuan robe. Although at home, he still wears a net towel on his head, meticulously caged on the top of his head.
"The villain meets Satsuka Jae." Xu Wu hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"I know what you're here for." Wang Bengu said coldly: "Cunzhai Gong is in such a hurry to call you over, does it really have anything to do with that incident?" ”
"Of course not." Xu Wu hurriedly denied it: "What kind of family is our Xu family? How could you do such a deadly thing? ”
"And what are you going to do?" Wang Bengu sneered.
"People don't hurt the tiger's heart, and the tiger harms people's minds." Xu Wutang said: "In order to prevent trouble before it happens, and in order to let the people of Jiangnan have a good life for a few years, please Shaozuka Zai must choose a benevolent governor for the ten prefectures in Jiangnan." ”
"How can I have that ability?" Wang Bengu showed an impersonal look.
"This is an acceptable candidate for the old lady." Xu Wu raised his head, presented a list with both hands, and said to himself: "Please also ask Shaozuka Zai to look at the past situation, don't shirk." After the matter is completed, the past will be written off, and my Xu family will no longer bother Shaozuka Zai. ”
"Really?" Wang Bengu's face changed.
"Seriously." Xu Wu nodded heavily and said, "The guarantee letter written by Shaozuka Zai back then will be returned." ”
It was a nightmare that had plagued him for ten years, Wang Bengu stared at Xu Wu for a long time with gloomy eyes, and finally reached out to take the list.
