”Second brother, now that the old master has been bestowed the position of a thousand households by His Majesty, this old servant feels that it's time to find two maids to command the second brother. Like this job of combing my hair, does second brother want this old servant or do you want to use a charming servant girl? ”

Was there even a need to choose? After tying up his hair, Second Elder Brother Zhu looked at himself in the bronze mirror and smiled, ”You should also find a few so that you can be a housekeeper. ”It's best to find a successor for my father, since I'm the only son in the family. If I have a younger brother and sister, I wouldn't be alone.”

”Second brother is filial and filial. Master has a fifth rank official body now and no one can manage the inner chamber. It is not good for me to take care of relations with colleagues.”

Second Elder Brother Zhu only smiled when he heard this. Zhu Yisu was restricted by Imperial Clan Court in the past, so let alone marrying a concubine, he had even lost the right to take her in as a concubine. Now, even if he objected, it would be useless. He might as well tell Zhao Qi earlier and express his attitude.

He was now the eldest son. Even if he were to have a son in the future, what was the use of having a son. If he couldn't even suppress his little brother, who was around ten years old, then he would be a failure.

One of them was wearing a white, sleeveless, moon-white, sleeveless silk dress. His hair was tied behind his head with a green ribbon. In his hand was a folding fan, which was Second Elder Brother Zhu's current attire.

A thousand households of the Acropolis are on horseback and leading the army. They are in charge of the territory of about one township, and they are completely reliant on the army for their righteousness. One of them was wearing a blue official uniform. He wore a jade belt, fine boots, and a black gauze hat. It was Zhu Yisu's current disguise.

It was all thanks to Old Man Liu's consideration of bringing the family's chef over that Zhu Yisu was able to lay out the dishes that could be seen through.

On the table, other than Liu Shimin, Zhu Yisu, and Old Master Liu, there were also Daizhou Zhizhou who rushed over upon hearing the news. Even Yan Men's Qian Hu rushed over as well.

When the King learned of the Son of Heaven's decree, he could not sit idly by and ignore it. He also sent someone to send him a gift for a total of 1,000 taels of silver. There were two ox-carts as well. The oxen were under the control of the government, and each of them was registered. Not to mention slaughtering them, they were even farmed in the spring for three days.

Second Elder Brother Zhu brought a pair of ears with him. Unless someone asked him a question, he would keep his eyes and nose open and his mouth open. Even the tasty dishes were untouched, and he carefully tried to figure out the art of these officialdom veterans' conversations.

The few people at the table were having their first meeting, but they were having a great time chatting. The topic of conversation was endless, as if they knew each other and were old friends.

Liu Shimin, a three-year-old eunuch, was not as feminine as the other eunuchs. On the other hand, he was humble, just like a literary man full of poetic talent.

There were only a few people that were eunuchs with Ming Dynasty. One of them was that his parents could not support him, and he sold him to the palace with a single slash. This made up the majority, and he was unwilling to grow up without problems in his heart. Ever since he was young, He Yue and a bunch of eunuch had been taught by the warriors of Hanlin Academy.

The second kind was someone who could not survive in society after growing up and would cut himself off to enter the palace to work as a laborer. For example, Wei Zhongxian. If he lost the gamble, after losing his wife and daughter, he might as well cut himself off.

History had proven that Wei Zhongxian's decision was wise, as he had some use for Ming Dynasty. The most direct example was when he controlled the imperial government and forcefully suppressed the Donglin Party. No matter how poor the imperial government was, they still had the money to pay him.

Even before Emperor Chong Zhen died, he was lamenting that with Wei Zhongxian here, he wouldn't be reduced to such a state. I feel a little Cao Cao soldier defeat Red Cliff, sighing over Guo Jia's taste?

The third type of eunuch, which was more miserable, was appointed by the criminal. The famous one is 3 treasure eunuch Zheng He, originally called Ma 3 treasure. The in the early Ming dynasty went back to chaos, and after calming down, it was dealt with according to the rules.

Different from the three above, Liu Shimin was born of a high family, but he cut himself off, so he naturally didn't have any problems with it. He didn't like people calling him father-in-law, and he liked dealing with people with a normal attitude.

There were many eunuchs in the palace, and only a small group of people could rise up and call themselves eunuchs. Having no son was their greatest regret. Therefore, the eunuchs would only adopt eunuch, who was pleasing to the eye, as their own disciple. In fact, they entrusted him with the love of a successor.

This Liu Shimin was from Chen Jing, and he had a good reputation as an angel this time around. Moreover, Yanmen Institute's thousand households did not have the moral integrity a scholar should have. Adding to that, Liu Shimin was originally a disciple of the Acropolis Academy, so he started flattering Liu Shimin one after the other.

Second Elder Brother Zhu listened for a long time before he roughly understood Liu Shimin's past. In the later generation, he had never even heard of Chen Jing, not to mention Liu Shimin, one of Chen Jing's disciples. The ones who heard the most were Cao Huachun, Yu Hua Tian, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian and other important figures. Wei Zhongxian was about to appear on stage. He reckoned that Liu Shimin, who had a good reputation, would be in trouble.

Liu Shimin curiously looked at Second Elder Brother Zhu a few times, Second Elder Brother Zhu saw the blisters on the palm of his hand, in his heart, he understood. He decided to go back and tell Emperor Wanli. Perhaps, he could even make the emperor happy.

What the Emperor needed now was reliable good news. Good news could make the Emperor happy, and then he could recuperate.
