Rise From the Humble

"Haha, let me lend you Eunuch Liu's good words. Eunuch Liu is busy, so I won't disturb you."

Zhu Pingan and Eunuch Liu chatted for a while. When other young eunuchs came to find Eunuch Liu, Zhu Pingan said goodbye and left.

"Easy to say, easy to say, Master Xiao Zhu, walk slowly." Mr. Liu took a step forward and watched Zhu Ping'an leave with a smile.

After Eunuch Liu left, the dark clouds in Zhu Pingan's heart became a little lighter. He slightly squinted his eyes and glanced in the direction of the harem. The light disappeared in a flash, and then he became honest and harmless again.

After walking out of the inner hall of Wuyi Hall, Zhu Pingan slowly walked down the steps, came to the courtyard of Wuyi Hall, and walked straight towards the door.

"Eunuch Xiao Zhuozi."

Zhu Ping'an came to the door and said hello to the little eunuch who was standing at the door. His dark eyes were full of smiles.

"Master Xiao Zhu." The little eunuch who called Xiao Zhuozi at the door lit up when he saw Zhu Pingan, and he returned the greeting to Zhu Pingan very familiarly and enthusiastically.

Xiao Zhuozi is young, about the same age as Zhu Ping'an. Like Xiao Caozi who works at Xiyuan Gate, he is a young eunuch promoted by Feng Bao from the Huanyi Bureau and belongs to Feng Bao's direct lineage. Since the last time Zhu Ping'an gave Feng Bao some advice, allowing Feng Bao to gain a firm foothold in the harem, Xiao Zhuozi and Xiao Caozi have also become more prosperous. Following Feng Bao, they have occupied a lot of light, and they have taken on various responsibilities. The errands are countless times better than before, and the fuel and water are much more abundant.

Feng Baoneng's success today is inseparable from the harem's brand-turning system.

Although Feng Bao abided by his agreement with Zhu Pingan, he did not reveal to outsiders that the system of sleeping in the harem's bed was the work of Zhu Pingan, and even the direct relatives of Xiao Zhuozi and Xiao Caozi were not revealed.

However, although Feng Bao did not say it clearly, Xiao Zhuozi and Xiao Caozi were Feng Bao's direct descendants. Based on what happened before and after the sign flip, as well as Feng Bao's attitude towards Zhu Pingan, Xiao Zhuozi and Xiao Caozi could still guess it.

In fact, it is also very obvious that during that time, Feng Bao was forced by the mistresses of the harem, and the disaster was imminent. Feng Bao was at the end of his rope. Xiao Zhuozi and Xiao Caozi saw it and were anxious in their hearts. Yes, later Feng Bao met Zhu Pingan when he went to the Ministry of Punishment on errands and chatted with Zhu Pingan. Xiao Zhuozi and Xiao Caozi also knew about it. It was after this that Feng Bao proposed to the Holy Emperor the system of turning tables to serve in bed. Sure enough, Emperor Jiajing was very interested in this novel, interesting and extremely imperial method, so the system of turning tables became popular in the harem and gradually became popular. It became the custom-made item for the favored concubine of Emperor Jiajing. Feng Bao also won a desperate turnaround. Not only did he avoid the disaster, but he also gained a firm foothold in the harem. He also went a step further, from an insignificant young eunuch to a powerful figure in the harem. and the great eunuch who has the right to speak.

Before meeting Zhu Ping'an, Feng Bao was in panic and was walking on thin ice; after meeting Zhu Ping'an, Feng Bao turned around from his desperate situation with divine help.

So it is obvious that the brand-flipping system was Zhu Pingan's idea for Feng Bao. It was only because the privacy of the harem and the empress was involved that Zhu Pingan, a foreign minister, was not suitable and could not be involved in the brand-flipping system in the slightest. Feng Bao was tight-lipped. However, this can be proved by Feng Bao's attitude and respect for Zhu Pingan.

Don’t forget the well digger when you are drinking water.

Feng Bao gained a foothold in the harem and made a step forward, which was inseparable from Zhu Pingan's idea of ​​turning the tables. As Feng Bao's direct descendants, Xiao Zhuozi and Xiao Caozi had both prospered and suffered losses with Feng Bao. They can be where they are today, but they also have to leave. I don't want Zhu Ping'an to flip the brand.

Therefore, Xiao Zhuozi and the others are also sincerely grateful to Zhu Ping'an.

Feng Bao's relationship with Zhu Pingan is getting closer and closer, and their relationship with Zhu Pingan is also getting closer, and it's not just because of Feng Bao.

Zhu Ping'an was young and promising. He was already the number one scholar at the same age as them. He was a fifth-rank official and had no airs about them.

For example, this morning, when Mr. Xiao Zhu came to Si Zhi of Wuyi Hall, he saw himself sitting at the entrance of Wuyi Hall. Mr. Xiao Zhu stopped and exchanged greetings with him before entering Wuyi Hall.

They sincerely want to get close to Mr. Xiao Zhu.

"Haha, it's a good opening. You probably know that I opened Zhuji Fast Food in Qihuamen. It just opened yesterday and the business is not bad. According to the tradition of our hometown, I want to give you a small red envelope to bring good luck. . You were not here yesterday, and it was inconvenient because there were so many people this morning. Please make up for it now."

Zhu Pingan walked up to Xiao Zhuozi with a smile, took out a red envelope from his sleeve, and handed it to eunuch Xiao Zhuozi.

"Congratulations to Mr. Xiao Zhu. I wish Zhu Ji's business will become more and more prosperous and the red envelope will be unnecessary. If Eunuch Feng knew that I accepted the red envelope from Mr. Xiao Zhu, he would tear my skin off." Xiao Zhuozi smiled and shook his head. He shook his head and refused to accept the red envelope.

"It's different. It's a business profit, it's for luck, and it's not free. If you have the opportunity to go out of the palace to run errands, drop by my store to take care of the business. Xiao Zhuozi's father-in-law doesn't want to accept it, because he doesn't want to give it auspiciousness. , you don’t want to take care of my store’s business, or do you think it’s too little?” Zhu Pingan looked at Xiao Zhuozi with a smile and said.

"How could it be possible? Master Xiao Zhu, if you say this, how dare Xiao Zhuozi refuse to accept it." Xiao Zhuozi smiled bitterly and scratched the back of his head.

"That's right."

Zhu Pingan smiled and patted Xiao Zhuozi's shoulder, then put the red envelope into Xiao Zhuozi's hand.

"Hey, I'd like to thank Master Xiao Zhu. From now on when I go out to the palace to run errands, I will definitely go to Master Zhu's to try it out."

After Xiao Zhuozi received the red envelope, his eyes narrowed in laughter, and he smiled and thanked Zhu Pingan.

"Haha, this is what I've been waiting for. If you tell me your name after you go there, you can get a 40% discount on all purchases." Zhu Ping'an joked with a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Xiao Zhu. Then I have to go to Zhu Ji. I must go. This is no joke. Mr. Xiao Zhu, you don't know that before your Zhu Ji opened, there were many people in our palace. Got it. Many people are still laughing at you, Mr. Xiao Zhu. They are laughing at you for being a scholar who came out with a book and ran away to be contaminated by the smell of copper. You are also doing the business of pigs in the water. Everyone bet that Mr. Xiao Zhu, your store will not be open for two days. Yes, Xiao Caozi and I are fighting against you, Mr. Xiao Zhu, but few of us can say anything to them. Coincidentally, at noon yesterday, Xiao Dongzi, who was in the imperial kitchen, was shopping for ingredients and passed by Mr. Xiao Zhu. I saw that the business in your store is very popular, and the seats are all packed. The queue outside is more than ten meters away. There is no store in the whole street, no, in the entire Qihuamen area, that has Zhu Jihuo. Xiaodong My son said that the fragrance in your shop floated ten miles away, and he was so greedy that his mouth watered. He had never smelled such fragrant dishes in the imperial kitchen. Unfortunately, there were too many people queuing up, and he had errands to do, so he couldn't After tasting it, I felt as regretful as having missed the Queen Mother’s peach feast. When I returned to the palace, those who laughed at you, Mr. Xiao Zhu, were all dumbfounded..."

Xiao Zhuozi couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the scene when Xiao Dongzi came back yesterday to tell everyone that Zhu Ji's business was booming.
