"Zhang Xiancheng is really blessed and prosperous, and he was able to get acquainted with Chen Hong, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal, and I don't have to worry about it. In the future, Zhang County will fly Huang Tengda, but don't forget that we are waiting. ”

"Zhang Xiancheng is really enviable, the last time I went to Beijing to get acquainted with Yan Xiaoge, this time I got acquainted with the eunuch Chen Gonggong, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal, with such a relationship, it will be difficult to think of flying Huang Tengda in the future. Zhang Xiancheng can ask for it in the future."

A cadre of officials got up one after another to toast Zhang Xiancheng, and patted their ass, hoping that Zhang Xiancheng would take care of them in the future.

As for befriending eunuchs, whether they will be regarded as eunuchs and looked down upon, they have no such concerns at all. Because, in these years, which official is not a party for personal gain, and it is quite common to make friends with eunuchs, even if he is an old man in the court, it is said that he is also courteous to the eunuchs in the palace, and he often makes friends.

If they can become eunuchs, they still wish they could become eunuchs, and if they become eunuchs, they will at least have a chance to rise from the lowest end of the chain of contempt of the bureaucracy, to become "officials", but they have no chance. They know in their hearts that they are not qualified to become eunuchs, and even if they are like this, the eunuchs still don't look down on them.

However, tomorrow is an opportunity, we must seize it, if we can enter the eyes of the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Eunuch, the future will be ruined.

"Ahem, I didn't get acquainted with the eunuch Chen Hong Chen, but ......" Listening to the compliments of a cadre, Zhang Xiancheng coughed a little embarrassed, after all, I will have a banquet tomorrow, and I can't hide it, if I don't make it clear in advance now, the joke will be bigger tomorrow.

What the?!

What do you say, Mr. Zhang? You said that you didn't get acquainted with the eunuch Chen Hong and Gonggong Chen?!

A cadre was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his heart was as excited as a fire, but after listening to Zhang Xiancheng's words at this moment, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and he snorted, extinguishing their enthusiasm.

Lord Zhang, aren't you making fun of us?!

You didn't get acquainted with the palm print eunuch Chen Hong Chen Gonggong of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, so why did you tell us so much about the Imperial Horse Eunuch Chen Hong Chen Gonggong. Didn't you make us happy in vain?!

Although the officials did not complain, their disappointment was overflowing.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Xiancheng smiled slightly, and the old god picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea, and waited until all the officials noticed his unexpected calmness and confidence, and then he said to everyone unhurriedly, "I didn't get to know Chen Hong, the eunuch of the palm print of the Imperial Horse Eunuch, Chen Gonggong, but it was not far away, through this nobleman, it was easy to get to know Chen Gonggong." ”

There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village! After listening to Zhang Xiancheng's words, the officials rekindled their burning excitement, and now they understood why when they asked this distinguished guest at the beginning if he was the adult who was responsible for buying Jinbao Pearls, Zhang Xiancheng would say yes meaningfully.

"Master Zhang, don't sell it, please tell us." Youxu said with a wry smile.

"Hehe, this noble man is none other than the godson of this imperial horse supervisor Chen Hong Chen Gonggong - Father-in-law Qianxu Qian." Zhang Xiancheng smiled and said to everyone, "Gonggong Chen of the Imperial Horse Supervisor has received a total of four godsons, and this Father-in-law of Qian Xu is his youngest godson, and he is also the most valued by him. ”

It turned out that the noble man was Chen's godson, Qianxu and Qian's father-in-law! No wonder Zhang Xiancheng said that it was easy to get to know Chen Gonggong through him.

The eunuch can't give birth, and what is the difference between the godson he accepts and the son of an ordinary person. That's a family. Father-in-law Qian is the godson of Father-in-law Chen, isn't it easy to know his father through his son.

Suddenly, the officials became excited again.

Father-in-law Qianxu, listening to the name is a good match, tomorrow we must seize the opportunity to accompany this father-in-law Qian.

"Master Zhang, how did you get acquainted with this humble father-in-law, tell us about it." A ganxu official asked curiously.

"What about this father-in-law Qian, when I went to the capital to dredge up the relationship, when I visited Ouyang Gongzi, the nephew of Yan Ge Lao, I had the honor to have a relationship with this father-in-law Qian, this father-in-law Qian is in the palace of Concubine Lu Jing, Ouyang Gongzi is the ruler of King Jing's mansion, and King Jing is Concubine Lu Jing's own flesh and blood. That's why I was fortunate to have a relationship with this humble father-in-law. Coincidentally, the saint took 150,000 taels of silver from Taicang, and ordered the comprador Jinbao pearl, which was the responsibility of Gonggong Chen, the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor. This to buy pearls, naturally we have to come to the south coast of the Yangtze River. Chen Gonggong went to Jiangnan to buy Jinbao pearls, naturally he couldn't be alone. The so-called brothers in the war, father and son soldiers in battle. This time to buy pearls, he brought two godsons, one of whom was this father-in-law. This father-in-law is responsible for buying pearls in our Taizhou Mansion. Unfortunately, he happened to encounter a plague and was trapped in the mountains. A few days ago, I was dealing with the Japanese Kou, and I happened to hear the news that Father-in-law Qian was trapped in a nearby mountain, so I had the courage to visit. I didn't expect that this father-in-law would still have an impression of me, so I got acquainted. ”

When Zhang Xiancheng said this, he couldn't help but feel proud, very proud of his decision to seize the opportunity.

Of course, Zhang Xiancheng did not tell everyone that he dedicated a big pearl of his ancestors to his father-in-law.

That's the key to getting to know each other.

Zhang County Cheng family used to be an ordinary family, I don't know that the ancestors of that generation got this big pearl by luck, and then it was transferred, the Zhang family made a fortune, since then this pearl has been used as their Zhang family's transfer pearl, has become their Zhang family heirloom, the ancestors of the past generations have a will, this pearl to be used as a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation.

However, Zhang Xiancheng doesn't care about the will of his ancestors, what kind of heirlooms, how can there be real interests. If I can use this pearl to get acquainted with nobles, then my future career will be much smoother, and if my career is smooth, then my Zhang family will naturally be more prosperous, and this pearl will naturally play a valuable role.

Hearing that Father-in-law Qian came to Taizhou Mansion to buy Jinbao pearls, Zhang Xiancheng did not hesitate to dedicate his own transfer bead heirloom to Father-in-law Qian. This pearl is big and round, and the color is good, after the Zhang family has been nourished for generations, the pearl has a faint aura...... When Father-in-law Qian received the pearl, he was overjoyed.

Gonggong Chen, the palm seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, came to Jiangnan to buy Jinbao pearls, and in order to improve efficiency, he sent two godsons below. In addition to this father-in-law Qian, there is also a father-in-law Liu, the two are in a competitive relationship, and they both want to do a good job of beating each other, and the value of Gonggong Chen, who wins. Gonggong Qian was sent to Taizhou Mansion, and Gonggong Liu was sent to Suzhou Mansion.

However, Father-in-law Qian was unlucky, and he encountered a woe within a few days of coming to Taizhou Mansion, and was unlucky and trapped in the mountains. The errand of buying Jinbao pearls was naturally delayed, and when he thought of the appearance of the villain of Gonggong Liu, Gonggong Qian was annoyed and upset, and he did not think that he had received the ancestral pearl presented by Zhang County Cheng at this time, and this pearl was still a rare pearl of the highest quality, and Gonggong Qian was naturally overjoyed, and by the way, he was also pleasing to the eye of Zhang Xiancheng, the person who offered pearls.

Zhang Xiancheng thus became acquainted with his father-in-law.

After receiving Zhang Xiancheng's ancestral pearls and a lot of property, Father-in-law Qian accepted Zhang Xiancheng's invitation.
