Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

"Master, this is news from the palace." The servant walked behind Liu Liu with his back hunched, offering the letter with both hands.

Liu Liu was wearing ordinary clothes, and reached out to take the letter. He had his own eyeliner in the palace. Now that he is an official, who hasn't placed a few people in the palace?

After reading the letter, Liu Liu laughed, "The emperor is a romantic, and he still has the mind to play with the golden house."

The servant is an old servant who followed Liu Liu. He is honest and honest, but he has a delicate heart. He knows what to ask and what not to ask. At this time, he also showed a smiling face: "The emperor is young, and it is time for fun."

"I don't know which empress has such a good life."

Liu Liu sneered: "If there is any empress, why would you send this letter to me? What can I say about the matter in the palace?"

The old servant was a little surprised: "It's not the empress, is it a palace maid? This..."

Since ancient times, there have been quite a few court ladies in the emperor's harem who have been promoted, but Han Lin'er is different. Almost all of his harem women are selected by Liu Futong. If he pampers a court lady, isn't that a slap in the face of Liu Futong?

"That court lady is capable." Liu Liu walked into the room, lit the letter, and said with a cigarette, "Although she has no status, she follows the emperor. She can even enter and exit the imperial study room at will. Concubine Li Gui is not as good as her, it would be fine if she is a fool, but if she is a fool, can she win over the emperor?"

The old servant said: "After all, it is a matter of the harem, and has nothing to do with the previous court, let alone your business, sir."

Liu Liu: "This statement is wrong. Before and after the palace, one hair always affects the whole body. The emperor's affairs are never divided into family affairs and state affairs. They are all family affairs."

The old servant didn't understand: "What does the master mean?"

Liu Liu said with a smile: "The maid's surname is An. She is the younger sister of a small official in the north of the city. She has no father or mother. Only her brother and sister-in-law are alive. If I can get her brother and sister-in-law to come to me before everyone else, wouldn't it be control Have you stopped her?"

The old servant understood: "Master Gao Zhi! Master Gao Zhi!"

"Then go back up the gift for me, send it to An's house, and then go to the Fortune Restaurant to buy a table, and invite the lady's brother to the restaurant." Liu Liu, "She is by the emperor's side, so she knows the emperor's movements better than ordinary people. Knowing more than others will naturally benefit more."

Although Han Lin'er has no real power, no official is willing to offend him. After all, Han Lin'er is young, and Liu Futong's age is there. When Liu Futong dies, Han Liner will definitely regain power. At that time, all officials will have to find their own seats again.

Liu Liu didn't expect to find another way out when the time came.

An Lao Si was startled when he learned that Liu Liu had invited him to a drink. He was in a state of extreme excitement all day long. He and his wife had stayed in Anfeng for too long. After staying for so long, they never opened up the situation He didn't even know what to send the letter to Lin Yuan, so An Laosi had been working as a petty official all the time, all the money he brought before was used for management, and now he was really living on his salary.

An's wife got along well with the nearby family members, and even took some needlework to subsidize the family.

Fourth An has been decadent for a long time. He looks for ways everywhere, but the ways he can find are very limited when it comes to other people's interests.

He believes that he can climb up with his own ability, but time waits for no one, and he doesn't have the time to take his time.

Liu Liu's invitation gave him a shot in the arm.

An Laosi swept away the previous haze, and said to his wife, "I'm afraid this is due to Hongxiu."

An's wife said worriedly: "I don't know how she is in the palace. It's been a few days since she came back. At least there was a message before, letting us know if she is safe in the palace."

Fourth An: "Believe me, Nan Bodhisattva will never forget An Feng. He will call in the coming year at the latest."

An's wife: "You know again?"

Fourth An laughed, and said in a low voice, "You don't understand people like Nan Bodhisattva."

"In the eyes of people like them, everything in the world belongs to him." An Laosi said, "So whatever he wants, he must get it. Now that the court has taken a blow, Nan Bodhisattva has won it again." Hanyang and Anfeng are the last obstacles."

An's wife: "Go over and try it out, then Liu Liu must be looking for you because of Hongxiu. It's fine if Hongxiu is favored by Han Lin'er, but if it causes trouble..."

Old Four An: "Don't worry, if she really caused a big problem, it's not Liu Liu who came to find me. At this time, the officers and soldiers should surround us. You, if you care, there will be chaos."

An's wife smiled: "Yes, I actually forgot this."

After An Lao Si changed his clothes, he went directly to the restaurant Liu Liu had found.

This restaurant can be regarded as the most luxurious restaurant in Anfeng, and the people who come here to dine are either dignitaries or wealthy businessmen. They wear silk and satin and eat big fish and meat.

Fourth An felt a little funny.

They turned against the Yuan Dynasty, and what they said was to complain for the people of the world. Now that they are in power, what is the difference from the Yuan Dynasty?

It sounds high-sounding, but in fact it is only seeking its own interests.

"Brother An is here." Liu Liu is a capable man, capable of bending and stretching, and he is willing to call brother An, the fourth official, with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, "I've heard of Brother An's name before. I want to see you, but unfortunately I have been busy with government affairs, and Dao is now free."

An Laosi was overwhelmed with flattery, he tried his best to play the role of an ordinary official with shallow eyelids, and laughed: "This, I, you are really absurd! It's all my job, it's all my job! Thank you Master Liu for looking up to me, the villain is really, really..."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he burst into tears: "The villain is dedicated to his duties and lives diligently. If he can get Master Liu's words, the villain is not in vain!"

Liu Liu's smile was a bit stiff, this man might not have been dismissed by a petty official.

"Come on, come on, sit down first, sit down and talk later, we brothers talk while drinking." Liu Liu filled up the wine.

After a few glasses of wine, An Lao Si talked more.

"Master Liu, you don't know that I came here as a refugee and was separated from my family. Only my wife came to Anfeng with me." Fourth An cried sincerely. , before the family reunited for a long time, my sister entered the palace."

"She grew up with me since she was a child. She is weak-tempered, and she doesn't have any opinions. She is weak to others, but she is beautiful. I am afraid that she will suffer in the palace." Fourth An's nose was running out, "I Although I don’t have any skills, I can still support my family, and I don’t want to do anything else, just want to reunite my family.”

Seeing that he was almost done drinking, Liu Liu asked, "Is that girl of yours weak-tempered?"

Elder An nodded: "She didn't like to talk since she was a child. In our village, other children bullied her, so she only dared to cry behind others' backs. Her parents bought her sugar candies, but they were robbed by other children. She She dared to say that she ate it herself, how could she have the material to live in the palace with her temperament?"

Liu Liu gave An Laosiman again, and said with a smile: "You can't say that, smart people have places for smart people, and weak girls are not bad girls, maybe they are even more lovable."

Fourth An looked at Liu Liu in bewilderment: "What do you mean... that my sister has been taken in by someone?"

"Which adult is it?"

Liu Liu looked at him with a half-smile, as if everything was in silence.

Fourth An's eyes suddenly widened, and he seemed to wake up instantly from fright. He stammered and asked, "Could it be..."

Liu Liu smiled and said, "Brother An, you have a good girl."

Fourth An: "This... this..."

Liu Liu: "This is her good fortune. How many women in the world are as lucky as her?"

Fourth An's expression was full of shock and disbelief.

Liu Liu said again: "I have thought about it too, brother, you have never done bad deeds, and you are literate. Why don't you come to me and be a clerk? The salary is more than your current one, and it will be easier to climb up in the future. .”

Liu Liu's meaning is also very clear, which is equivalent to directly saying to An Laosi: "I helped you because of your sister. Since I helped you, naturally I also want benefits. They are all understanding people, so don't think about it." Understand and pretend to be confused."

After drinking all night, Mr. An will take up his post tomorrow.

After he went back, he said to his wife: "Hongxiu is now in the palace and has become a big celebrity, and is very popular with Han Lin'er. Otherwise, Liu Liu would not have spent so much time to win over me, a small official."

After thinking about it, the wife said: "I think Liu Liu has installed a lot of people in the palace, and the outsiders don't know much about Hongxiu's favor. Otherwise, our courtyard should be full of invitations and gifts at this time."

Watching people order food, many people don't need to learn it at all, it's something they are born with.

Fourth An went to get a basin of hot water, put it under his wife's feet, and rolled up his sleeves to wash his wife's feet.

When they came to Anfeng, the couple acted as poor people. They spent all their savings to buy an official, and had to rely on their wife to do needlework to subsidize the family. Over time, the fourth An really changed. Washing the feet of his wife, in his opinion, is not something that old men should do.

While washing his wife's feet, Mr. An said, "I just don't know when Hongxiu will send us a letter. It would be best if we could meet. I think she has collected a lot of information these days."

But his wife didn't listen to what he was saying, she suddenly said: "I know why Liu Liu came, it was Hongxiu who revealed the news of being favored to Liu Liu."

Old Four An wondered: "Why did you disclose it to him? Although he is a high-ranking official, he is not very useful."

The wife sighed, her husband loves to be in the wrong, she reminded: "Du Zundao."

Fourth An: "..."

He took a breath and said to his wife, "Hongxiu is really... so bold..."

An's wife also said with some admiration: "You are scheming and cunning, and make a quick decision. Fourth An, you are not as good as her."

Fourth An: "...how did you call your husband?"

An's wife couldn't help laughing: "If you don't get into the corner at any time, and don't go all the way to the dark, I won't talk about you anymore, and praise you day and night, what do you think?"

Fourth An shivered: "It's fine to praise me day and night..."

He also muttered in a low voice: "I don't know where I learned it, but I'm getting more and more choked up."
