Chapter Twenty-Six: A Knife for Wealth

The collection finally broke 3000, thank you for your love and support.

………

It is common for adults to enter the palace purely, and Ma Tang was only stunned for a moment, and then asked Pang Baodao: "This is a big deal, have you made up your mind?" If you are clean, there is no regret medicine in the world to take. ”

Pang Bao nodded heavily: "Father-in-law, don't worry, the little one has already made up his mind, and he will never regret it!" ”

"Hmm."

Similar to Pang Bao, who voluntarily entered the palace to seek wealth and nobility, Ma Tang had already seen a lot, so it was not surprising.

However, most of these people are about 20, and few have to enter the palace at the age of 30, because like scholars, age is also an important factor in determining whether a eunuch has a career.

Take Ma Tang himself as an example, he entered the palace at the age of eight, entered the inner study hall at the age of nine, copied documents in the department at the age of fourteen, and was promoted to prison at the age of nineteen.

In the palace, the younger the age, the higher the plasticity, and those who can enter the inner study hall to study are generally the preparatory candidates for the twenty-four overseers. Among them, the best ones have big luck, and it is not a dream to become a celebrant supervisor.

And those who enter the palace after adulthood are not so lucky in the palace. Generally, after this kind of person enters the palace, he is not reused at all, and most of them are arranged to do some hard work such as cleaning and washing at the bottom. Unless he is literate and literate, it is impossible to be promoted to eunuch, let alone enter the celebrant eunuch.

For example, in the early years of the Yingzong Dynasty, Wang Zhen, who was nearly fifty years old, entered the palace and won the trust of Yingzong with his talent, and finally became the world. If Wang Zhenda doesn't know a single word, an old man who is about to die, how can he have such good luck.

Of course, if you are still young, you meet a nobleman, and you are clever enough, you may be able to make a fortune. But when he entered the palace, he was thirty years old, and this kind of person had almost no possibility of development.

Even if there is a noble person who is willing to carry him, when this person can be on his own, he is afraid that death is not far away. Therefore, the great masters will not choose this age when cultivating the people below.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a masterpiece to stand out from this kind of person.

However, how many people are there in this world?

Ma Tang has been in the palace for so many years, and the doorway inside is clear. According to Pang Bao's age, after entering the palace, he is afraid that he will be a sweeper and a toilet.

So he knocked lightly on the table and said to Pang Bao lightly: "You are willing to enter the palace to serve, our family is very comforted, but now the palace is full, and all functions are also perfect, if you go in, I am afraid it will be difficult to arrange." According to our family, you are still working hard here in our house, and if you have any good errands in the future, our family thinks about you. ”

Ma Tang said this is benevolent enough, but he didn't want Pang Bao to make up his mind, so he hurriedly took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it over respectfully: "The little one knows that this matter is not easy to do, so please worry about it!" ”

Ma Qijin stepped forward to take it and handed it to Ma Tang.

Ma Tang glanced at it, and it was a silver ticket of one hundred taels. He casually placed his hand on the table and looked up at Pang Bao again.

One hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, this Pang Bao has been a sticker in his own tax supervisor for more than three years, and if he calculates it bigger, no matter how much he earns, he is afraid that it will be this amount.

Now, he gave all the money to himself, just so that his family could help him enter the palace, just this thought, saying that it is a desperate way to survive, saying that it is ruthless enough, in short, it is a character.

In order to be a husband, not only did he have to give his life a knife, but he also took out all his savings, Pang Bao, and let Ma Tanggao look twice.

"You can be a man, but I'm afraid our family doesn't have that much face. Besides, it's okay to get into the palace with this amount of money, but it's difficult to get a job. You are from our family, if you enter the palace as an ordinary sprinkler, our family will feel shameless. Ma Tang looked embarrassed, it was indeed a little difficult to do, but it was not that he did it on purpose.

"The little one knows that this thing is difficult to do, so I dare to ask my father-in-law to take care of one or two, if the small one can get ahead in the future, I will not forget my father-in-law's great kindness!" Pang Bao is very knowledgeable.

"It's a man who knows how to repay his kindness."

Ma Tang chuckled, had an idea in his heart, got up and walked in front of Pang Bao, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, for the sake of you who have done a lot for our family in the past few years, our family will help you with this... But it's not that our family is unwilling to contribute, it's that all the positions in the palace are full, so let's arrange for you to do things at the concubine's place, what do you think? ”

What does the concubine do?!

Hearing this, Pang Bao immediately said excitedly: "Thank you father-in-law for your success!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the whole person knelt in front of Ma Tang with a "plop", and "knocked" a few times, and Ma Qijin felt pain when he saw it.

"Alright, alright, get up." Ma Tang was kind and pleasant, and helped Pang Bao up, "After entering the palace, what kind of creation can be made, it is all your personal business, and our family can't think of you all the time, in the future, you still need to be clever." ”

"Father-in-law, rest assured, the little one will do a good job in the concubine, and never let the father-in-law down!"

Pang Bao wanted to jump up with joy, he originally gritted his teeth and decided to take the road of Ma Gonggong to enter the palace and find a job to do, but he didn't want Ma Gonggong to arrange for him to go to the concubine, this is not to give him Pang Bao a rich road What is it!

For a while, Pang Bao only felt that this Ma Gonggong was his reborn parents, and secretly swore that if he could be beautiful in the future, he would definitely repay Ma Gonggong with a good life.

"Alright, don't thank me, you can go down."

"Hey, father-in-law!"

Pang Bao had just crossed the threshold, but Ma Tang stopped him again, with a caring look on his face, and said: "Liu's knife skills in the four alleys of Beijing are good, our family has a little relationship with him, you can go to him and report our family's name, so as not to suffer more...... After recuperating from the injury, our family will arrange it for you, so you don't have to worry. ”

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

Pang Bao's heart warmed, and he thanked Ma Tang again.

Ma Tang asked Ma Qijin to send Pang Bao out, and after the people left, Ma Tang suddenly became listless again, sat down sullenly, unconsciously picked up scissors with his right hand, and continued to groom his beard.

After coming out of the tax supervisor's yamen, Pang Bao only felt that the world in front of him was much more spacious and brighter than what he had seen before, and the air was extremely fresh.

This is a desperate gamble, in order to get ahead, in order to be as beautiful as Ma Gonggong, Pang Bao is really open.

Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and there was no white flower for a hundred taels of silver, Ma Gonggong gave himself a great creation, and he needed to cherish it and work harder.

It's just, that knife...

Thinking of the cleansing process he had heard before, Pang Bao shuddered for no reason.

Don't be afraid, this knife won't be in vain!

Pang Bao cheered up and took a deep breath. He is not from Tianjin, but from Henan, so he has no worries at all in Tianjin, and he has no belongings, and all his savings have become the silver ticket in the hands of Ma Gonggong.

But I don't know if my cousin Zhang Cha has come?

If you can catch it in time, you may be able to see him in Beijing.

Thinking of Ma Qijin's confession just now, there was nothing wrong with staying in Tianjin, and thinking that his cousin in his hometown was going to Jizhou, Pang Bao simply went to the carriage and horse shop to buy a ticket to Beijing. If you're lucky, you might be able to meet your cousin before you get cleansed.

On the side of Jinghai County, Zhang Cha hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and sitting on the noodle stall.

On the next table, Wei Liangchen had drunk all the noodle soup, and at this time he was holding a few silver beans that Xu Xianchun gave him, and he didn't know whether to return them to the other party.
