Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Wang Xifeng watched them set up the table and dishes with a smile, and then happily explained to everyone: "Zhou Dai said he was busy, so he asked Qian Gang to stay with us for a few days.

"From this moment on, Qian Gang will be considered as this Liang Di's person for the time being.

"You two should get to know each other better. I'm very tired after walking around. Let's eat first."

Naturally, everyone followed Wang Xifeng's attitude and treated Qian Gang warmly.

Jing Li and Chen Duo held Qian Gang's hands on each side and dragged him to the corridor outside to sit and chat. Chunsheng and Fuguier followed behind.

Qian Gang glanced at Meng Fanshuang again.

Meng Fanshuang's eyes moved, she glanced at Wang Xifeng, and followed her over, smiling and saying, "Didn't you say that we should look for Zhou Dai? Why did you change your mind?"

Qian Gang rubbed the back of his head and said, "My master is so busy that his feet are beating around the back of his head. It's either the emperor's job or the queen's job. He really can't handle everything. That's why he asked me to come here to apologize to Liang Di and run errands at the same time.

"The last time I saw my aunt, I knew she was doing well, not as skinny as she was in the palace.

"My master was expressing his feelings to me last night. He said, there is a saying: A tree that is moved will die, but a person who is moved will live. But this saying has only come true for one person in the palace, and that is you, Aunt Meng!"

Aunt Meng smiled and slapped him: "You little monkey, you master and disciple are gossiping! Start to plot against me!"

They walked away talking and laughing.

An'er and Chunnuan stayed to serve lunch.

After the dishes were placed, Chunnuan quietly took three steps back and stood in a position where she could see the door and the dining table, but could not necessarily hear what others were saying.

An'er looked at her with satisfaction, bent down, and whispered to Wang Xifeng the story that everyone had talked about in the morning.

Wang Xifeng listened with great interest, but when she heard Chen Duo holding out two resumes of Jiangnan people and reading them carefully, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are their names?"

"Cai Xiangchun and Yu Jiao."

Wang Xifeng looked back at Chunnuan.

Chunnuan blinked.

Wang Xifeng was eating a fried shrimp, but she lost her mood and threw it on the plate, frowning: "This Chen guy, relying on his background in the prison, doesn't investigate others, but instead investigates my people!"

An'er's eyes widened!

what? What?

Whose people?!

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes at her.

An'er understood instantly, and was pleasantly surprised. A sweet smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Liang Di, today's lunch is very much to your taste. Eat a few more bites."

Wang Xifeng waved her hands impatiently: "Go away! I don't need you to set the table for me to eat - why don't you call them to eat together? We have work to do in the afternoon!"

An'er went there happily.

Chunnuan still stood quietly behind Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng turned around and looked at her: "You don't want to eat?"

"I eat fast, it's okay." Chunnuan still smiled innocently.

Wang Xifeng ignored her and lowered her head to eat.

After the meal, Chunnuan helped her wash her hands and rinse her mouth, then she called An'er and went out. She stood there and swallowed a steamed bun and drank a bowl of soup in three or five bites, and that was when she finished her meal.

Qian Gang saw this and couldn't help but feel pity for her. He asked Aunt Meng in a low voice, "Did this girl do anything wrong? Why was she punished so badly that she couldn't even eat a bite of food?"

"They are new." Aunt Meng explained in a low voice, "There are several of them. Liang Di said that after entering the Daming Palace, those who are useful will be kept, and the others will be sent to serve others.

"She's not the only one. Don't you think Chunsheng is cautious, diligent and tactful? And there's Fuguier, who flatters the emperor so well that it makes the mountains roar.

"all the same."

Qian Gang understood, smiled and sighed: "It's exactly the same as when we were young."

"But let me tell you, I remember there were six or seven of you at the beginning, and Zhou Dai only kept you, right?" Aunt Meng asked in a low voice.

Qian Gang shook his head: "There is another one, named Feng Kui. He is two years older than me, so he became my senior brother.

“Two years ago during the Chinese New Year, the Emperor went to the palace of a different surname to give out New Year dishes, and he was the one who delivered them.

"I don't know how I caught the eye of Prince Beijing, and now I work as a steward in the palace, which is more glorious than the palace's chief historian.

"My master complained about the lack of manpower the other day, and he was thinking about hiring two more eunuchs to train when he brings in new eunuchs this year!"

Meng Fanshuang's heart moved, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just joked, "Oh, then you are going to be a senior brother too!"

"Who knows!" Qian Gang's eyes glided into the main hall, then he looked back and lowered his eyes, "A new emperor appoints new ministers.

"When our Grandpa Dai follows His Majesty to the other palace to recuperate, who knows what will happen to my master and his four brothers!"

Aunt Meng smiled, reached out and patted him on the back of the head again, and scolded him with a smile: "A child this young has so many tricks, you will never grow up tall!

"The Crown Princess and Wang Liang Di are both kind-hearted people. As long as they are sincere in their work, they never care about their background.

"Don't worry, no matter what others do, you still have me!"

Qian Gang's face was filled with gratitude.

Chen Duo, who was shouting at everyone to finish their meal so they could continue working, listened to the conversation between the two with his ears pricked up, without saying a word.

Although many hands make light work, Chen Duo insisted on reviewing all the resumes himself, so the box of resumes was not returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs until just before the gate of the Daming Palace was opened.

Chen Duo brought Qian Gang and thanked Zhou Dai with a smile: "Thank you for troubling you, Minister Zhou."

The Ministry of Internal Affairs originally had four eunuchs as chief eunuchs and six eunuchs as deputies.

Zhou Dai held the post of Internal Attendant.

Zhou Dai looked at Chen Duo, and recalled the time when he was tricked by Zheng Fan and stared at Zheng Fan until the corners of his eyes bled. He couldn't help but shudder.

"Chen Siyu has been dormant for many years, but now he is on the verge of prosperity. It seems that he will be promoted to a great height!" Zhou Dai tried to maintain the situation and speak in an official tone.

Chen Duo smiled meaningfully: "I was originally a worthless person with no money, no power, no face, and no reputation. It was only when I came into the hands of the prince that I was able to turn stone into gold. Now, I have to sell all my little skills to the prince!"

Zhou Dai smiled stiffly and bowed to say goodbye: "Thank you for your hard work! See you tomorrow!"

"You're welcome!" Chen Duo smiled even brighter, with his hands raised high. "Tomorrow morning, in Hanbing Palace, I'm waiting to see Zheng Zongguan and Zhou Changshi!"

He flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Zhou Dai took a deep breath, closed his eyes, turned around and grabbed Qian Gang's shirt, his face fierce: "What did they say and do this afternoon?! Tell me!"

Qian Gang trembled: "It's just flipping through resumes and gossiping, nothing else..."

Zhou Dai's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible!"

"Ah, speaking of the eunuchs and palace servants assigned to the four palaces by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how come the eunuchs in each palace are so closely connected? If they unite and gang up to bully the master, the master won't be able to send anyone to complain..."

Qian Gang's mind flashed and he said hurriedly.

Zhou Dai froze again: "How do they know that the servants in each palace are related to each other? Who told them?"

"Ah? Is there really a connection?!" Qian Gang was confused.

Zhou Dai gritted his teeth, let go, and told him to get lost coldly: "Be there when the palace gate opens tomorrow!"

Qian Gang nodded his head in agreement, then turned and left.

His eyelids trembled slightly and his eyes flashed with fear and hatred.
