C1867 Hairy Two, whom he had not seen for a long time (1/2)
Zai Chun might be a fool to think so, but the eunuchs in the main house did not dare rub themselves against the sand, so Da Sixi, Xiao Sixi and the other big eunuchs understood why they had to lower their heads when they were under the low eaves.
Right now, Zai Chun was completely relying on his master's power to travel to Europe, and in the future, the little emperor himself would have to ask this Imperial Advisor for help, offending Xiao Letian would not end up well for anyone.
The two trusted eunuchs coaxed and coaxed for a while before they finally managed to calm the little emperor down. Only after wiping away his tears and drinking a mouthful of hot tea did Zai Chun's emotions calm down.
”What about Mao? Why didn't he come out? Don't tell me he doesn't listen to me either! ” Zai Chun glared and said fiercely.
When he mentioned Hairy # 2, both Da Sixi and Xiao Sixi started to clench their teeth. Hairy # 2 was a special person among the eunuchs circle, and ever since he accompanied the little emperor to the Ryukyu, his sense of existence for the past two years had almost been nil.
Hairy # 2 had a very special identity. On one hand, he was a eunuch in the imperial palace, and on the other hand, he had recognized Fu Hui as her godmother, so Xiao Letian was the perfect godfather. He could not get the trust of the people around the emperor with this identity, so everyone avoided him if anything happened.
But Zai Chun, who was ten years old, and the thirteen year old Zai Chun, had a change in attitude. They used to have very simple and honest relations with each other, but after seeing Zai Chun in the market for two years, they no longer dared to take him as their trusted aide.
He knew that Er Mao would never be able to get rid of Xiao Letian's brand, even though he had the ability, he could not use it.
Seemingly, Er Mao also understood the little emperor's intentions, so this year Er Mao simply took sick leave and rented a house with a small garden in the Ba City, then left with the excuse of recuperating from his illness.
However, Xiao Letian did not let Hairy # 2 completely get sick. He gave Hairy # 2 a huge task to make him and his friend, Eunuch Man Shun, learn about antiques.
All of the four eunuchs around Zai Chun had great abilities. Da Sixi was proficient in etiquette, so with him around, Zai Chun would not lose face for the great nations.
Xiao Sixi was well-versed in housekeeping, so of course Zai Chun had to learn this skill when he meets women in the future.
Man Shun being proficient in delicacies and being resolute in antiques was also a great ability to serve the emperor.
Er Mao is fluent in western studies. He has a good grasp of English, French and German.
The four eunuchs had their own abilities, and were going to be the more considerate people around Zai Chun in the future. The four bodyguards then moved on to the military side.
Xiao Letian had already known that there were some eunuchs in the Forbidden City who specialized in the appraisal of antiques. These eunuchs had been in the royal family for more than two hundred years, and their eyesight was extremely sharp, their appraisal skills completely surpassed the great reverends in the Liu-Li Factory. They might not be as good as some of the famous scholars from the Da Niu family, but they were already at a very high level.
Xiao Letian wanted this to happen, because there was another important mission in Europe that required him to collect all the lost Chinese cultural relics. He wanted them to return to China, or at least to his own museum.
But Xiao Letian himself did not have the time to learn about appraising treasures, so when Hairy # 2 was being marginalized, he would ask him to use all of the abilities in the eunuch's heart.
Man Shun absolutely did not dare to disobey the leader's orders, so in the past two years, he rarely accompanied the little emperor. Most of the time, he studied antiques and appraised the treasures in Xiao Letian's hands with Er Mao's.
