Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yang Tianliang had a guilty conscience these days and did not dare to go to Eunuch Yang's residence. He even skipped the daily morning and dusk exams and only said that he was "seriously ill."

    Eunuch Yang didn't ask much about it. He only sent someone to take care of him: "Take good care of your health." He didn't ask anything else.

    This attitude both worried and reassured him.  I worry about gains and losses every day, not knowing what to do.  Sometimes I feel so frightened that I want to take out the reservation form and run away.

    However, Yang Tianliang hesitated again when he thought of what he would face after running away.  After all, if he really has to run away, this job will be gone, and he will no longer be "a mouth in the palace", enough for the officials and gentry to spend their money.  Besides, he entered the palace when he was more than ten years old, and there was no one in his family long ago.  No one outside could trust him. After many years in the palace, his voice and smile had already left distinct traces on him. Without his "eunuch" skin, he would probably be in bad luck.

    Fortunately, there was nothing unusual these days, whether inside the palace, outside, or with my adoptive father.  Except that Liu Zheng disappeared as if he had evaporated from the world, everything was business as usual.  This somewhat reassured him, and his original thoughts of running away faded away a lot.

    Yang Tianliang felt uneasy when his adoptive father suddenly wanted to see him. He pretended to be sick and called the little eunuch who had sent the message into the bedroom to question him.

    "The foster father asked the child to come over. I wonder what he has to say?" He leaned on the bed and said weakly.

    "Reply to Dad," the little eunuch bowed, "My ancestors said that I was very worried when I heard that you were sick these days. So I specially arranged for the younger ones to come here. If Dad's illness is mild, ancestors will invite Dad to come.  I came up to the house to talk about some important things. If you are still not feeling well, it won¡¯t matter if you rest for a few days. I hope you can rest assured that you will take good care of yourself."

    "Please go tell the adoptive father that the child's illness has improved in the past few days, and you will come to pay respects to the adoptive father tomorrow." After saying this, he asked with a very concerned look: "How is the adoptive father's health these days?  install?"

    "My ancestor is in good health. Originally, Delong's shopkeeper Leng was kidnapped. He was very worried. Now he heard that shopkeeper Leng was back and he was happy. Yesterday, he invited several father-in-laws and sent a troupe to the mansion.  Singing and drinking for fun."

    "That's good." Yang Tianliang felt a little relieved, then he thought that no one else knew about his conspiracy except Liu Zhen, and there was no intersection between Liu Zhen and Eunuch Yang, so Eunuch Yang probably didn't know about it.

    Thinking of this, the originally sick complexion suddenly became much better.  Take care of your subordinates and give rewards to the young eunuch.  I thought about how to deal with my adoptive father tomorrow.

    ??This "adopted father" whom he had abandoned like a pair of worn-out shoes, now had to consider repairing the relationship between father and son.  The money will probably be out of reach for a while.  Wang Zhixin had to find another way to do his job there, but as long as he could maintain his status as adopted son, Eunuch Yang's net worth would still be his from now on.  As for when to get rid of him again, that's another matter.

    Early the next morning, Yang Tianliang rushed to Eunuch Yang¡¯s residence to say hello after breakfast.

    Eunuch Yang looked pretty good. When he saw him coming to salute, he raised his hand with a smile: "You and I are father and son, how can we be so particular. That's what I mean." After looking at it for a while, he said, "Your illness is very good.  Already?"

    "Yes." Yang Tianliang responded respectfully, "The child has been ill for a long time. I will not send you greetings for many days, and I feel guilty. My health is much better today. Thank you for your concern, dad."

    "It's good that you are in good health. You are in your forties and are no longer a young man. You should take care of yourself." Eunuch Yang seemed quite concerned. "Although we are father and son, we have supported each other for more than 20 years."  ¡±

    "Yes. The child dare not forget father's kindness in raising and nurturing him."

    "You don't have to be so polite," Eunuch Yang said with emotion, "When Jiu Qian was just in power, our father and son lost their jobs in the palace and were driven back and forth. We didn't even have a place to live. We struggled to survive.  I have regained my footing in the palace. No matter how hard it was, no matter how poor it was, we worked together and never said a single word. On the contrary, these years have been going smoothly and we have become more or less independent. After all, it is just for the sake of  The word 'money'."

    Yang Tianliang didn¡¯t know why his adoptive father suddenly mentioned these old things, but what he said later was very heartfelt.

    He opened his mouth as if he wanted to defend something, but Eunuch Yang motioned him not to speak. He just pouted, and the little eunuch next to him immediately brought a lacquer tray with an envelope on it.

    "Inside is Delong's note, twenty thousand taels. You can use it to buy your future." Eunuch Yang said with emotion, "You went to the Royal Horse Prison, I'm afraid there are many expenses down there, this money is just  You can rely on yourself."

    Yang Tianliang never dreamed that Eunuch Yang would say such heartfelt words to him, and even took out twoThousands of silver.  You must know that when he borrowed 20,000 silver from his adoptive father, the two almost turned against each other.  Why did he suddenly change his gender?

    "Dad"

    "What, is it too little?"

    "No, I don't dare" Yang Tianliang waved his hands hurriedly, "I originally wanted to raise the money myself, but I never thought"

    "You don't have to say it." Eunuch Yang sighed, "I have figured it out now. I am already in my early sixties, how many more days can I live in this world? Once you become one of the family members, they will all be yours in the future. Why bother to return the favor?"  It¡¯s so clear! If you want to serve as the Imperial Horse Guard, I won¡¯t stop you. After all, you still have a long time to live.¡±

    These words were sincere, and Yang Tianliang was moved for a moment. He knelt down and took the envelope, and said with tears of gratitude: "My father's kindness in nurturing me will never be forgotten."

    "It's good that you have this kind of heart." Eunuch Yang looked very "kind" at the moment, "Speaking of which, I also have selfish motives. I'm afraid that if you fly to a high branch, you won't recognize me as your adoptive father; and I'm afraid that you will become a father.  I have become a celebrity in the palace and am busy every day. I no longer have time to take care of me in my old age. Alas, when people get old, they tend to have selfish thoughts You have to forgive me"

    "I don't dare, I don't dare," Yang Tianliang quickly pointed to the sky and cursed, saying that if he had the idea of ??being unfilial to his adoptive father, he would die a bad death.

    "It's good if you know, why bother with a curse." Eunuch Yang sighed, "We men don't need this."

    "Yes Yes."

    Eunuch Yang coughed slightly and continued: "Delong's strength was temporarily damaged, and he came to beg me for help, so I decided to keep the one hundred thousand taels of silver from the father-in-law in the palace with him."

    "It's all up to dad."

    "Shopkeeper Leng is a cautious and reliable person. He may still be relied upon by you and my son in the future. You can't treat him like an ordinary businessman."

    "My child understands!"

    Eunuch Yang talked about many future arrangements, and Yang Tianliang agreed one by one. The father and son chatted happily, showing the scene of "a loving father and a filial son."

    At the end, Eunuch Yang seemed to mention it accidentally: "I heard that you often went to Tianjin Wei a few days ago?"

    Yang Tianliang was startled. When he was planning this "big event", in order to prepare for his escape after the incident was revealed, he had indeed gone to Tianjin Wei and bought a reservation at China Merchants Shipping Company.

    He didn¡¯t ask the eunuch to do this, he did it himself.  And the followers he brought to Tianjin Guard were not palace eunuchs.  It should be very confidential.  How did Eunuch Yang know?

    Thinking about it again, I didn¡¯t go to Tianjin Guard in secret, and it wouldn¡¯t be surprising if my adoptive father knew about it.  He thought for a moment and said.

    "Yes, my child has gone to Tianjin Health several times to handle matters."

    "Oh, what can you do?"

    "There are many new gadgets in Tianjin Wei now, especially a lot of 'Southern goods'. The child heard that some of the medicines were very magical, so he went there to see if they were so effective. If they were really effective, he wanted to buy them.  Honor your father."

    Eunuch Yang also looked curious: "What medicine?"

    "It's a medicinal wine that has the effect of aphrodisiac and kidney" What Yang Tianliang said was not entirely a lie.  Because there is indeed a drug store in Tianjin Wei selling this "aphrodisiac medicinal wine" that is said to be leaked from Kun Thief, and it has remarkable effects.

    "it works?!"

    "It works!" Yang Tianliang nodded with certainty, and then said a little shyly: "My child my child I also tasted it, and it is indeed effective."

    It is not a strange thing that eunuchs use aphrodisiacs.  Eunuchs abused aphrodisiacs and were addicted to various "whips", which are often recorded in historical materials and novels about the lives of eunuchs in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.  Eunuch Yang and his son were both eunuchs, but they still had many concubines, so the demand for this was very strong.

    "There is such a strange thing!" Eunuch Yang looked greedy, "How come Leng Ningyun never mentioned such a good thing like this?"

    "Probably because it's medicine, so I'm afraid of getting into trouble." Yang Tianliang said, "He is a businessman, so naturally he doesn't want to cause trouble."

    "It's a shame I asked him to save so much money, he has no filial piety at all!" Eunuch Yang scolded, and immediately asked about the medicinal wine, "How many bottles did you buy?"

    "This medicinal wine comes in and out, and the quantity is always very small. It is very popular," Yang Tianliang said. "I went there several times and only bought three bottles. One bottle has been tested by me. The remaining two bottles will be given away tomorrow.  People send it to honor their father.¡±

    "Okay, okay, you are indeed my good boy!" Eunuch Yang held up his hands and said with a smile, "This thief is really good at something!" He said and sighed, "I heard that there is a merchant shipping company in Tianjin Wei?"

    Yang Tianliang was startled and said anxiously: "There are some who take the sea route, and some who take the canal."

    "I heard people say that the merchant shipping company's ships can go to Lingao. Dad must be old, otherwise, I really want to go to Lingao and have a look!" Eunuch Yang sighed.

    Yang Tianliang laughed a few times and said: "You are joking. Not to mention the bumpy sea road, how can we get there now that the two countries are at war? Dad"

    "Yes, this is just talk. This thief is really powerful. He is doing business while fighting. It would be great if all the sour people in the court had their skills." Eunuch Yang said with a smile, "I'm tired, you  Just step back."??'s.  "

    "I heard people say that the merchant shipping company's ships can go to Lingao. Dad must be old, otherwise, I really want to go to Lingao and have a look!" Eunuch Yang sighed.

    Yang Tianliang laughed a few times and said: "You are joking. Not to mention the bumpy sea road, how can we get there now that the two countries are at war? Dad"

    "Yes, this is just talk. This thief is really powerful. He is doing business while fighting. It would be great if all the sour people in the court had their skills." Eunuch Yang said with a smile, "I'm tired, you  Just step back."
