Rise From the Humble

In the early morning, the thin morning light shrouded the town of Liuhe, as if it cast a layer of golden light on the town. The white walls and green tiles of Jiangnan Town were covered with a layer of golden gauze, like a noble girl standing tall and graceful.

On the bluestone path at the entrance of Liuhe Town, Zhang Xiancheng, Chief Yao, and Li Dianshi stood at the front, looking forward to the distance. Behind them were a group of dismissed subordinates, holding various kinds of things in their hands. Welcome gift.

Today was the earliest time they got up. The morning light had just begun to show signs of light, and they came to the entrance of the town.

They were doing this just to welcome the distinguished guest invited by Zhang County Cheng - Eunuch Qianxuqian.

The morning light was gushing, and the sky in the east was like a fire. A bright red and a golden slowly spread, and then turned into a fish-belly white, and then the morning sun showed its head like a shy girl amid thousands of calls.

The sun has risen.

Zhang Xiancheng, Chief Yao and other people watched a complete sunrise at the entrance of the town.

Not only that, they also watched the sun rise higher and higher from morning sun to higher and brighter.

Until three poles high in the sun.

Liuhe Town had woken up a long time ago. Many people entering and leaving the town saw Zhang County Cheng and his party, and then they couldn't help but look at them a few more times. Are they waiting for someone? So grand? !

The sun is still rising, slowly approaching the center.

People who had gone out to do business in the town all came back. When they saw Zhang Xiancheng and the others still at the entrance of the town, they couldn't help but look sideways and smack their tongues.

"Brother-in-law, what time has it been? Why hasn't Eunuch Qian come yet? Did you tell him this morning?"

Li Dianshi stood for a long time, and his legs were numb. Coupled with the hot and scorching sun, and the strange looks from passers-by, he had long been impatient with waiting, and couldn't help but complain to Zhang Xiancheng who was standing beside him.

"That's right, it's almost noon, why isn't Eunuch Qian here yet? Did he forget?!"

A group of subordinate officials couldn't bear it for a long time. When they heard Li Dianshi's complaint, they couldn't help but agree with him.

Compared to the impatient Li Dianshi and others, Chief Yao stood on the spot, gently shaking his folding fan, his face calm.

"Hmph! You don't have any patience at all?! You still want to make friends with noble people?! Uncle Liu visited the thatched cottage three times before inviting the destined nobleman Zhuge Liang. Now it just makes you wait a moment longer, and you can't stand it anymore?! How to achieve great things? !”

Zhang Xian Cheng snorted coldly and glanced at everyone, paying special attention to Li Dianshi.

"Yes, that's what Master Zhang taught you."

The subordinate staff nodded repeatedly and cheered up again.

Everyone continued to wait at the entrance of the town, looking forward to it.

The sun continued to rise, and it was only an hour away from noon. The late autumn sun was very poisonous, and Zhang Xiancheng and others who were waiting at the entrance of the town couldn't help but sweat. Li Dianshi and others fell into their old ways again and began to suspect and complain. In fact, at this time, Zhang Xiancheng could not help but be shaken by doubts. He looked worried and paced on the spot. Could it be that Eunuch Qian really forgot? ! Or did you remember the wrong time? !

Just when Zhang Xiancheng and others were about to give up, they saw a gorgeous sedan appear in sight.

This is a sedan carried by four people. The sedan is very gorgeous, and there are four guards on both sides carrying waist knives.

Zhang Xian Cheng's eyes lit up when he saw this sedan.

He knew this sedan. Eunuch Qian was trapped in the mountains. When he went to visit, Eunuch Qian was resting in this sedan.

"Quick, quick, cheer up, Eunuch Qian is here. Eunuch Qian is sitting in the sedan chair coming from the opposite side." Zhang Xiancheng said to Li Dianshi and others while adjusting his clothes.

"Ah, Eunuch Qian is here."

"Eunuch Qian is finally here."

The crowd was excited, and finally the wait was not in vain.

From a distance, before the sedan could approach, Zhang Xiancheng led Mr. Yao and a group of people to greet him.

"Eunuch Qian is here. It's a shame for us to miss him from afar." Zhang Xiancheng came to the sedan chair and bowed to say.

All the subordinate officials followed suit, saying words of welcome and bowing like shrimps.

The four people carrying the sedan were dressed in blue eunuchs' clothes, and all of them were young eunuchs with delicate features.

After setting down the sedan chair in front of Zhang Xian Cheng and others, a waiter in front bent over and held the orchid finger to open the sedan door.

"Haha, the Za family is just a small member of the Huang family. How can it be worthy of such a great position?"

A high-pitched laugh came from the sedan, and then a hand holding a snow-white embroidered handkerchief stretched out from the sedan. The waiter in front of him helped him diligently, and the owner of the sedan stepped out.

This is a young eunuch with delicate features and a smile in his eyes. He is about eighteen or nineteen years old. He is wearing a purple chamberlain uniform. The material of the clothes is several grades higher than that of the young eunuch carrying the sedan chair.

This person is none other than Eunuch Qianxuqian.

"You deserve it, you deserve it. Eunuch Qian is a man who serves the Holy Emperor. His hard work and merit are great. If Eunuch Qian can't afford it, who else can." Zhang Xiancheng and others hurriedly stepped forward to compliment him.

"Haha, the Za family is just a slave. It's just that our ancestors have cultivated blessings and have the honor to help the long live master and serve the noble concubine." Eunuch Qian put the embroidered handkerchief to his lips and chuckled, his voice was very high-pitched.

Zhang Xiancheng and others hurriedly paid compliments, and then presented the gifts.

Eunuch Qian took a look at the gift. Well, it's a pile of silver notes, a plate of silver ingots, and a plate of pearls. This gift is very expensive. The smile on the corner of his mouth was even brighter, "Oh my, look what you are doing. Doesn’t this make the Za family make mistakes?”

Eunuch Qian said he refused, but when he looked at the gift, his eyes were shining and he had no intention of looking away.

"Wherever, Eunuch Qian shared His Majesty's worries and spared no effort, traveling thousands of miles to the south of the Yangtze River to buy gold, treasures and pearls. I have been bathing in the Emperor's grace for generations, and I also want to do my best for His Majesty. These are our thoughts, and we also Please help us, father-in-law." Zhang Xiancheng bowed his belt and said.

"Yes, yes, Eunuch Qian, we also want to do our best, so please help Eunuch Qian do it." A group of subordinates spoke up one after another.

"Oh, it turns out that's the case. You didn't tell me earlier, so the Zajia family almost misunderstood you. Since you also want to serve the Holy Sage, the Zajia family can't be unkind and prevent you from fulfilling your filial piety. Your intentions, the Zajia family I will accept it on your behalf, and I will share your worries and solve your problems for the Holy One."

Eunuch Qian held the embroidered handkerchief between his orchid fingers, half-covered his slightly curved lips, nodded with a smile, and motioned to the following little eunuch to accept all the gifts.

"Thank you so much, father-in-law." Zhang County Cheng thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you so much, father-in-law." A group of subordinate officials followed and thanked him.

"It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk, it's all about sharing the saint's worries and solving problems." Eunuch Qian smiled and waved his hands, his eyes curled into crescents.
