Aunt Wang gave a thumbs up: "Yes, yes! She is a woman with backbone. There is a saying, and there is a way, there is a way, there is a way, it is hard to say, the emperor likes you, favors you, although you can't be a concubine or queen, but rich and noble That’s for sure. Hehehe, with your figure and appearance, I’d have to extort a few taels of silver from your father-in-law.” While talking, he laughed secretly.
Brother Shi Jiu still couldn't rest assured that Rong Chang'an: "Xue'er, are you really determined to enter the palace?"
Rong Chang'an: "What I said doesn't count! I've already come to Aunt Wang's house, how can I retreat? Uncle Shi, don't worry, the palace is not a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. I'm fine. I will show my respect to you in the future."
Aunt Wang patted the table: "That's it, Xue'er will come with me to meet Eunuch Cheng tomorrow!"
Rolling his eyes, he went inside and took out an ingot of silver, about five taels, put it on the table, and moved it to Brother Shi Jiu: "Brother Jiu, this is for you, thank you for introducing me to a silver coin." A woman as beautiful as a flower. You don't think so much!"
Brother Shi Jiu moved the money to Aunt Wang again, and waved his hand: "I can't ask for your money."
Aunt Wang was puzzled: "Why?"
Brother Shi Jiu said: "Taking your money means that I have sold Xue'er! As long as Xue'er lives well in the palace, I will be happy in my heart."
Aunt Wang: "Ninth brother, this is five taels of silver!"
Brother Shi Jiu: "I usually make flutes. I have some money. I can fill my stomach and have a drink. I don't need money from Aunt Wang!"
Aunt Wang wished that Brother Shi Jiu didn't want the money, and she smiled into a round basin: "Since Brother Jiu doesn't want it, then I won't be polite." Then she rolled up her silver sleeves.
Brother Shi Jiu got up: "There's nothing wrong, I'm going back with Xue'er."
Aunt Wang went all the way to the door on the first floor, staring at Rong Changan with her naked eyes: "Xue'er, come over at this time tomorrow to see Eunuch Cheng, and Eunuch Cheng makes a decision, and you can enter the palace with him."
"Thank you, Aunt Wang!"
Rong Changan went home with Brother Shi Jiu. The next day, Rong Changan came to see Eunuch Cheng by himself. Rong Chang'an had some impressions of Eunuch Cheng. Compared with other eunuchs in the palace, Eunuch Cheng's character was relatively good.
At that moment, as soon as Eunuch Cheng saw Rong Changan, he was startled, and couldn't help slipping out his mouth: "Queen Rong..."
Although Rong Changan had put on a human skin mask, the cold brows could not be covered. Eunuch Cheng thought it was Rong Changan, so he was taken aback.
Aunt Wang laughed and said, "She's not Empress Rong, she's Xueer. She looks so graceful, maybe she will be a queen in the future!"
Eunuch Cheng took a closer look, and sure enough, his appearance was different from Rong Chang'an's. His heart jumped in his throat and he thought in his stomach: Empress Rong is dead, how could she still be there? There are so many similar people in the world, I just saw it wrong! Then he asked Rong Changan:
"What's your name? Where do you live? What year is it? Have you ever made a promise?"
Rong Chang'an replied respectfully: "Xue'er, a civilian daughter, is eighteen this year, and her family is eighty miles away. There are only two parents in the family. She has no one to rely on, and she has never promised anyone!"
Eunuch Cheng pinched his chin, his face was a bit embarrassed: "Eighteen years old, a bit old..."
Aunt Wang said: "Not old, not old! Father-in-law, look at her, although she is eighteen years old, she looks only fifteen or sixteen years old. In the palace, you will say that she is fifteen years old! Xueer, go to the palace. Here, if someone asks, you just say that you are fifteen years old, do you understand?"
Rong Changan respectfully said: "Okay, Aunt Wang!"
Eunuch Cheng nodded: "He is very well-behaved and looks very handsome. It is a pity to serve people in the palace. However, if the master treats you well, you will be prosperous in the future. Okay, Aunt Wang, then Bring the contract documents, and we will pledge!"
Aunt Wang asked the scholars who bought calligraphy on the street to write three contracts, and all three of them put their fingerprints on it, one for each.
Aunt Wang put the contract in her sleeve and smiled slightly: "Eunuch Cheng, such a beautiful person, why don't you show more?"
Eunuch Cheng pointed at Aunt Wang and smiled: "You old lady, you are really open to money! However, Xue'er is really kind, so I will give you an extra ten taels of silver today. You can keep your eyes open for me in the future and find a few more money. A character like Cher."
Aunt Wang: "That's for sure, I still use Cheng Gonggong to say it!"
Eunuch Cheng took out a bank note and handed it to Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang looked at it and found that it was thirty taels of silver in total, which was ten taels more than before, but it made Aunt Wang laugh from ear to ear.
"Eunuch Cheng, why don't I go buy some vegetables and bring a jug of wine, and you eat at my place before leaving?"
Eunuch Cheng stood up: "No! There are many things going on in the palace these days, so I can't delay too much outside." Looking at Xue'er, "Xue'er, you are coming into the palace with me now!"
Rong Changan bid farewell to Aunt Wang and entered the palace with Eunuch Cheng. Seeing the familiar palaces, pavilions, Jinshui River, red walls, verandahs, and familiar faces, Rong Changan felt a sense of sadness.
"stop!"
This familiar voice made Rong Chang'an's blood boil, but the road to Yuanjia is really narrow, as soon as he came in, he met that person.
Eunuch Cheng smiled and sang a fat song to that person: "Your servant is beckoning to Concubine Ziyan!"
With a slight smile on Zi Yan's face, she walked over slowly: "What are you doing?" Zi Yan pointed to Rong Chang'an and asked Cheng Gonggong.
Eunuch Cheng: "There is a girl in the palace. I will go to the folks to find a few according to Director Lu's instructions." Eunuch Cheng called Rong Changan, "Xue'er, why are you so ignorant? Come quickly and give a gift to Concubine Ziyan."
Do you want to salute that bitch? Grief and anger made Rong Chang'an's face flushed red. For the ultimate goal, she had to do it.
So, she turned around and lowered her head, and bowed to Zi Yan to salute: "The daughter of the people kowtows to the noble concubine!"
Ziyan's heart skipped a beat, and the astonishment quickly spread on her face: "You...you are..."
Cheng Gong said: "Return to the noble concubine, her name is Xue'er, she is very well-behaved, she was a little cramped when she first entered the palace, she didn't understand etiquette, please forgive me."
Zi Yan blinked her eyes, and looked carefully again. Apart from the eyebrows and eyes resembling Rong Changan, there is no resemblance in other places.
"Your name is Xue'er?" Zi Yan frowned, observing Rong Chang'an carefully. Although Rong Changan and Xue'er are very different in appearance, the temperament between their eyebrows and eyes is very similar.
Rong Changan nodded: "The daughter of the people is Xue'er, please take care of me in the future!"
That's right, how could the person in front of me be Rong Chang'an? Rong Changan would never salute her, never be so humble.
"Let me give you a word. Only by being more diligent in doing things and less talkative can you live and work in the palace. Do you understand?"
You still need to teach this! How many people lost their lives because of having too many mouths! The corner of Rong Changan's mouth hooked.
"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Concubine!"
Ziyan smiled, and walked around Rong Changan: "You are good-looking, and I am a little jealous. You are also very well-behaved. It depends on how you behave in the future. If you behave well, I will take you with you." Around. In addition to giving you some silver, there are plenty of delicious, fun, useful, and easy-to-wear items.”
Eunuch Cheng pulled Rong Changan's clothes: "You still don't want to thank the imperial concubine?"
Rong Changan: "I will definitely work hard to serve the imperial concubine as soon as possible!"
Zi Yan nodded condescendingly: "It's good to know! Tsk tsk tsk, you are so charming. If the emperor sees you, he will fall in love with you. So, I can't let the emperor see you!"
As she said that, Ziyan laughed nervously, and after laughing, she looked at Cheng Gonggong and Rong Changan, "I'm just joking, don't take it to heart!"
