Yang Jin Enters Beijing

Lei Fengyu stood in front of a bronze mirror in doubt, looked at his face carefully, and gently stroked his ear temples with his fingers, "It has been 18 years, and my temples have grown white hair, and you... Still 17 years old?"

Lei Fengyu thought for a moment in the mirror, then asked Zhuang Zhuang. "How is Anqing recently? Is your body still in good shape?"

"It's very tough." Zhuang Zhuang replied: "The old man would carry a bird cage around the palace all day long when he had nothing to do. Joy. The people below have big opinions on him, but he has a high seniority, even if I am not convinced, I will call him ancestor, and the women in the palaces will give him three points. They have nothing to do with him. Call him the first of the three evils in the palace."

"This old ghost, I think he is idle." Lei Fengyu scolded with a smile, "Go, let him take a few young eunuchs, pack up his clothes and go to the barracks to cause trouble."

"Barracks, this..." Zhuang Zhuang hesitated.Although An Qing is a bit of a disaster in the palace now, he has served two generations of emperors and a queen. Wrong, do you want to drive out of the palace?Where do you let him settle down at his age?

"It's not to drive Anqing away." Lei Fengyu said: "Tubo has [-] soldiers this time, and someone needs to arrange them. They are all rough and rough. If they are forced to fight, they may start a fight." Of course, Lei Fengyu knew what happened at the gate of the palace today, "Let An Qing handle this matter, he will definitely be able to do it well. If you need food or money, just go to the treasury to get it."

"He must be happy with this." Zhuang Zhuang said with a smile.It is a lucrative job to go directly to the treasury to collect money and things. An Qing is not only happy, he is happy.

"In addition, remember that those who asked him to urge Tubo to come take a bath, change clothes, change shoes and socks, and clean up." Lei Fengyu sniffed his fingers, "It stinks!" That guy's feet It's really smelly, and it's still sticky with sweat. The smelly sweat sticks to my hands, and the smell hasn't gone yet.

……

An old man came to the barracks, leading a group of men and women who claimed to be male and female.

Then the whole barracks was like a pot of boiling water.

"That's all for tidying up, why do you have to take a shower?"

This group of men and women, men and women, each with their hips akimbo, stared at us taking a bath one by one.

Just wash it, and keep yelling at the side.

"What a god! Look at the dirt, the ponds near the barracks have been washed by you, and the mud inside is several feet thick."

I am a person with a good temper, I am really a person with a good temper, I actually resisted not throwing people into the pond where the silt was several feet thick like Jiang Yang Cairang did.

"Monkey boy, since your clothes are all wet, you should take them off." The old man said in a strange voice.

So, the male, female, and mother who crawled out of the pond took off their clothes and trousers.

Then, all the Tubo soldiers present were dumbfounded.

"See, I, Anqing, and these little monkey cubs, we are all eunuchs, do you understand what an eunuch is? They are people who have no roots of descendants." The old man said: "If a person has no roots of descendants, he will have nothing. I don’t care anymore, I don’t want my face, I don’t want my life.” Patting himself on the chest, he said: “Come if you have the ability, come at me, those who dare not do anything are not men.”

If you don't know what's going on with them, you can do it, but now that you know what kind of people they are, who can do it?

The Tubo soldiers remained silent, but An Qing refused to let him go. He gave way to Jiang Yang, who had been thrown into the water just now, and bumped into him.

Only then did Jiang Yang let out a loud yell, Plop!Just jumped into the water. "Don't be angry, I'll wash it, I'll wash it right away." After speaking, he was bored in the water, rubbing the mud vigorously without daring to lift his head.

"Which one of you is coming?" An Qing looked at the other Tubo soldiers poking at the edge of the pond, pointing his fingers one by one, "You, you, you, or you..."

Plop!Plop! ……,Pass!Pass!Pass!Pass! ..., anyone who points to him will jump into the water without saying a word, which is called obedience.

Turned around, finally An Qing's finger touched my head, "You!"

I was about to take off my robe and jump into the water, but An Qing hooked his fingers with me, "Follow me."

……

What a big bathtub, a big basin of steaming water.

An Qing pressed me inside, wrapped his hands with a towel, and rubbed me hard from head to toe.

I really don't know how a person at such an age can still be so strong!The rubbing made me scream and howl like ghosts and wolves.

After rubbing, An Qing inspected the bath water that was originally clear but now turned into a muddy soup. I was as red as a rabbit that had just been skinned, and sighed: "It's really good looking."

Then, he sat in the chair brought by the little father-in-law, picked up a cup of tea, slowly wiped the tea leaves floating on the tea soup with the lid of the tea cup, and said to me: "Boy, with this appearance, you You can get a monstrous wealth that you can't even dream of in this life."

"You people from the Central Plains have problems!" I snorted and crawled out of the basin.

I was about to take my clothes and put them on, but found that my clothes had been carried away by the little father-in-law who just moved the chair. "What am I wearing here?"

"Get new ones." An Qing pointed to the clothes, shoes, and socks that had been placed on the tray on the side table, and said, "Your Majesty rewarded you."

I picked it up and shook it open, and saw that it was an ankle-length long gown. I saw this kind of long gown on the way to the capital. It was worn by some scholars in Tianyu, called Confucian shirts.

Asked suspiciously: "The whole army has been rewarded?" If we are all dressed like this, how can we ride a horse?

"They all got new clothes." An Qing replied.Then he kept urging: "Put on, put on, do as the Romans do." He put down the teacup and came over to help.

Confucian shirts from the Central Plains were a little troublesome to wear, but with An Qing's help, they were put on quickly.

After I put on my clothes, shoes and socks, An Qing did my hair again.

He wiped his wet hair dry with a cloth towel, held a literati bun, and inserted a white jade hairpin obliquely.

After finishing it, I looked at it for a long time, and said: "It's not just the monstrous wealth, with this appearance, why not have the monstrous power?" He patted my shoulder with his hand, and his tone suddenly became kind Get up, "Little brother, as long as you listen to me from now on and do what I tell you to do, then we will have endless money to spend and endless wealth and glory."

"Are you poor?" I asked Anqing.

"Well, poor." Anqing used to be the chief eunuch in the palace. The rewards from above and the filial piety from below are countless. Apart from more than a dozen taels of silver and dozens of dans of lumi, there is no living money. Although the palace is in charge of food and drink, he doesn't have any big expenses, but making money is a pleasure in itself.

I heard him say that I was poor, so I picked up the purse that fell from my robe that was taken away, grabbed a handful of copper coins from it and stuffed it into Anqing's hand, "You are welcome, the old man, the Buddha taught us to give generously to the poor."

An Qing: "..."

An Qing was so moved that his face was pulled together, and I was also very happy in my heart. I wonder if my generosity can rekindle the light of hope in An Qing, an old man with a handicapped body.

With this happy mood after helping others, I opened the door and walked out of the house.

The whole camp has been washed and put on new clothes.

It's just that their clothes are different from mine. They are black blouses, but they are very delicate. The neckline and cuffs are embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns with black silk thread.

"Yang Jin, why are you wearing such strange clothes?" My brothers looked around me, "And you see, there are silk threads on our clothes, but yours are made of cotton."

I touched the clothes on my body and felt very soft. "It's okay if there is no thread at all. The clothes are quite comfortable to wear, but if they are too long, they will get in the way when riding a horse."

"It's not easy." Gyatso squatted down, compared the length, and then pulled the front and back sides, and the long gown turned into a short gown. He said triumphantly, "Look, it's okay."

"Oh, Gyatso, you are so smart!" I praised.

An Qing, who came out later, had an old face that was drawn together, but after seeing the short shirt that was torn from the long gown, it turned into a slanted mouth, pointed at us with trembling fingers, and said, "I really don't understand anything. Bump."

"How much is a piece of cloth worth?" I said, "Could it be worth a cow?" I think Anqing is really stingy, and the handful of copper coins I just gave him can almost buy a piece of cloth. , or the printed cloth I bought for Danzhu last time, "This dress doesn't even have a print."

An Qing glared at me.

How much is this cloth dress worth?

This is a kind of long-staple cotton trafficked from a distant overseas country. This kind of cotton fiber is thin and long. It can be used to spin cotton thread as thin as the silk spun by silkworms. 24 strands of this thin cotton thread are put together , and then twisted into a thread, the fabric woven with this thread is softer and lighter than ordinary cotton cloth, stronger and more stylish than silk, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer.

This kind of cloth is not sold on a piece-by-piece basis, but is weighed on scales, one scale for cloth and one scale for gold, and the materials that were tributed to Da Nei, selected by the emperor himself to make clothes for the queen, are even more exquisite. , This piece torn from the ground, is it worth a cow?You should ask if it is worth a hundred cows?

But this time An Qing didn't say anything, feeling that talking to someone who didn't know anything was pointless, so he just flung his sleeves and turned away.

"This old man!" Now that he is gone, I am naturally overjoyed.I yawned and said to my three elder brothers, "I'm tired after taking a bath, let's go to sleep."

The second elder brother Tsering was going to stand guard, and I went back to the residence arranged by Longyue with Qiangba and Gyatso.

The bedding and pillows in the room have been laid out, but there is no kid.

"It's so late, where did he go?" It's so lively here, why didn't he come to see the excitement?
