Chapter 67 Help
The most inns where the cargo ships in Jining City dock, is medium. All rich people go to stay nearby with the pleasure boats, so there are the best restaurants and inns there.
The old eunuch lived here before he lost his money. Obviously, he didn't have much money in his hand. Having said that, it is unknown how much money could be purchased in the trend of selling green salt everywhere.
After being rescued, the old eunuch slept in the bed for an hour and lay there all night with his eyes open. The fire and wall inside the room were warm and warm, but the old eunuch was cold. Eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty usually entered the palace since childhood, and there were not many contacts with relatives and friends outside.
What's more, he is old and has no relatives outside. This job is already a waste of money. For him, who grew up in the palace, even if he runs away, he cannot live alone outside. What's going on next is really hopeless and dark.
The old eunuch who couldn't sleep waited until his clothes were dry, and sat neatly beside the bed until the sun rose and the sun shone into the room, he heard someone knocking on the door.
I still owed food and store money. I really don’t know how to face the pursuit of the shopkeeper. But yesterday there was a case of seeking death. The old eunuch sighed and got up to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, I saw the shopkeeper outside holding a food plate with a steaming bowl of poached egg noodles on it and a few side dishes.
"Eunuch Liu, you woke up early. Last night, you had a cold wind and cold. You should eat more to replenish it. The kitchen made these things. Come on, is it appropriate to taste the taste?"
I haven't heard the name of this father-in-law for a while. When the guy was chasing for money, he was called "Old Liu". Eunuch Liu was confused, but the aroma of food in his nose was lingering, and he was a little hungry. He thought that he had no money to pay back the debt anyway, so he was not afraid of spending more breakfast.
Then nodded and took the food plate, took it into the house and started eating. The inn's guy was not in a hurry to leave, stood outside the door with a smile and said:
"Eunuch Liu is indeed a big shot from the capital. He has a wide range of people and many friends. Last night, your old friend has already settled all the meals and restaurants these days."
Eunuch Liu, who was eating at the door, looked up in shock, thinking that he would not have any friends in Jining City. Otherwise, there would have been no help in asking for advice from him in the past. Facing Eunuch Liu's eyes, the shop clerk said with a smile on his face:
"Your old friend also said that after lunch, you would go to the place where you saw the scenery last night, and someone was waiting for you. Today, at noon, the master was going to make some specialty dishes for you and make your skills."
After saying this, the guy took him to the door and left. The place where you saw the scenery last night, Eunuch Liu was stunned for a while, and then he came back to the taste. What about seeing the scenery? Isn’t it the place where you jumped into the river last night?
But after eating his stomach and hearing what the guy said, Eunuch Liu vaguely felt that things seemed to have a turnaround, but good luck was really so easy in the sky, and it hit him?
But now, no matter what the other party is, I can only go and have a look.
After lunch, Eunuch Liu cleaned up and went to the dock. It was indeed a simple cleaning, because except for his own clothes, everything else was stolen.
When I walked to the place where I jumped into the river yesterday, before Eunuch Liu felt emotional, someone shouted loudly:
"But Mr. Liu, come here, come here!!"
This is the first time I heard the title of old man. Eunuch Liu was stunned for a moment, looking around and looking at no one else, I was sure that the other party was calling him, but this title made him feel very comfortable. The eunuch is physically disabled and is most afraid of others mentioning this point. If someone treats them as normal people, of course they will be more favorable.
This is what made him happiest in these days. Eunuch Liu also had a smile on his face and walked over quickly. Several young men stood by the river. When they saw Eunuch Liu coming, they all greeted him politely. Although Eunuch Liu's status in the palace was low, he had seen the world after all. You can see that the young men in front of him had a strong aura in every move.
At first glance, you can see that they were trained people, and their similar temperament was like the Han generals in front of the palace who acted as ceremonial guards. The soldiers pretended to be quite standardized every day, and their movements were very similar to the young men in front of them wearing thick gray earthen cloth short robes.
However, I don’t know if it was Eunuch Liu’s own illusion. Those Jinyiwei men who were covered in blood in the comforting department seemed to be shocked, and they were somewhat similar in somewhere.
"My master knew that Mr. Liu was suffering from a disaster outside and wanted to help him."
A young man said loudly, raised his hand and gestured, and looked in the direction of the gesture. When Eunuch Liu saw two cargo ships, he was completely confused now. Seeing his inconspicuous appearance, the young man smiled and brought a small bag, and said again:
"This is forty taels of silver. The two cargo ships are 20 dan of green salt and thirty cans of old green salt. The ship's credit has been paid, so please accept it."
Eunuch Liu was stunned at first, staring at the two ships covered with tarpaulin, and his hands suddenly trembled uncontrollably. Inexplicably, the errands he had come out to buy were already done. But who would be so kind to me, such an old eunuch who was powerless and powerless?
The eunuchs in the palace were advised in advance, and there were examples of political speculation, but they were all those young and upstarts in the inner court who were very young and had a bright future. They were almost expected to have no future in the future. Who would be willing to spend so much money to help? In the inner court, there was bloody and darkness. Everything was only about profit, and someone suddenly helped. The first thing that Eunuch Liu thought of was what the other party had, but hesitated and asked:
"Your master is..."
"My owner said that when I saw the old man suffering, I felt very sorry for the elders in my family, so I helped me. Everyone met by chance, and there may not be a chance to meet again in the future, so there is no need to name it. The year is approaching, so the old man must be anxious to go back and report, so it's better to board the boat and rush on the way!"
After saying this, the young man and his companions carefully helped Eunuch Liu onto the cargo ship, reminded the ship owner a few words, and watched the ship slowly leave the case, then turned around and left.
It was not until the ship entered the middle of the river that Eunuch Liu reacted. He remembered the words "thinking of the elders in the family" and other words just now, and finally realized that the other party helped him just to do good. He couldn't help but burst into tears, holding his bag and kneeling on the bow of the boat, and bowing towards Jining.
