Chapter 442 Sharpening the Knife (2)
"Did I ask you something?" The chief eunuch turned cold when he saw that it was a mean-looking woman who spoke disrespectfully.

The little eunuch next to him glanced at him, saw that he was sullen, stepped up quickly, and slapped Feng twice.

Well done!Li Xiaojin looked darkly.

Feng Shi was dumbfounded, and was about to yell, Tian Shi pulled her violently.This is the chief steward of the palace, this old man really has no winks, something bad is coming!
Li Jiaxing also abandoned Feng Shi, took two steps forward, bowed his hands and saluted, "Mr. Supervisor! The student is brother Li Xiaojin. Today I came here specially to ask Mr. Mr. Feng for help." He called himself a student, and lowered his status to a low level. It hurt the face of the chief eunuch.

The manager glanced at Li Xiaojin, and Li Xiaojin hurriedly answered with his head down, "Master Manager! That's the eldest grandson of my stepfather's family, who just won the same Jinshi this year."

Such a straightforward introduction made Li Jiaxing's expression darken immediately, and Li Changlu's expression turned into a pig's liver color.

The first thing that place in the palace learned was to observe words and expressions. The chief eunuch knew what Li Xiaojin meant when he saw it, and with a light hum, he asked the guards to let Li Jiaxing and the others in.

Li Jiaxing signaled Feng Shi and Tian Shi not to talk, it ruined his business, Feng Shi had just been slapped twice, feeling very angry, scolding Li Xiaojin, raised his eyes and saw her little eunuch standing beside the chief eunuch expressionlessly Looking at her, my heart trembled and I didn't dare to say more.

Tian winked at Li Xiaojin and asked Li Xiaojin to recommend Li Jiaxing.

Li Xiaojin raised her eyebrows. Didn't she recommend it just now?Both parties already know their identities, so she, the middleman, should leave the stage!

Tian gritted her teeth secretly, and said with a smile, "Xiaojin! Tell the manager about your elder brother's affairs." His face was affectionate.

Li Xiaojin raised his head in confusion, turned around and saluted the chief eunuch, "My lord! My elder brother is one year older this year, and he will be a father next year. It hasn't been long since my son just learned to call him father. Nothing else."

This is Li Yuanxi.Tian gritted her teeth in hatred, her eyes darkened.

Li Jiaxing's face turned blue, so he could only introduce himself, "My lord..."

It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the chief eunuch, "What's the matter?" His face was obviously impatient, and his eyes were cold.

Li Jiaxing has never asked for help in a humble manner. He always thought that he was a noble scholar, and people would flatter him.

Li Jinfeng snickered next to Li Xiaojin, and whispered to Li Xiaojin, "He doesn't understand."

Li Xiaojin nodded thoughtfully, and felt even more sympathetic to Li Jiaxing.

It was still Tian who begged boldly: "My lord! Xiao Jin's big brother hasn't been appointed yet, so can you help me talk?"

"Yo~ The begging officer came to me! I thought it was something! I'm just a recruiter, you're asking the wrong person!" The chief eunuch said sarcastically.

The little eunuch next to him also twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly. When he asks for help, he always offers a gift first, and he comes empty-handed, but he still asks for an official. It's really easy to be a white wolf with empty gloves!Don't even look at who is asking!
"My lord! As long as you help pass the message! My second uncle will also give you a discount on the pottery and little fragrant pigs you bought!" Li Jiaxing blushed, embarrassed, and winked at Li Changlu next to him, telling him Stand up and speak for him.He didn't believe that this little bastard Li Xiaojin dared to refute Li Changlu's words in public, no matter what, Li Changlu was still Li Xiaojin's father in name.Does Li Xiaojin dare to take the charge of unfilial piety?

Li Xiaojin burst out laughing, the pottery and the little fragrant pig belonged to her, damn it!You say discounts are discounts, are you in charge? You! ?Do you have the right you! ?Are you eligible? You! ?
Li Changlu really came forward to speak, "Boss... Your Excellency! My nephew is very educated and has already passed the Jinshi examination. Your Lord..." As he spoke, he paused and glanced at Li Xiaojin. Seeing Li Xiaojin With a sneer on his face, he didn't dare to say Li Xiaojin's name, and then said, "As long as my nephew can find a job, our whole family will be grateful to the manager!"

"Then treat me like an ox or a horse?" the chief eunuch raised his eyebrows and asked.

Li Changlu was about to answer, but Tian's face turned ugly, is he acting like a cow to a eunuch?She has never been a cow or a horse to anyone in her life!

Li Jiaxing didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so he gave Tian a wink and signaled Tian to speak.He is a scholar, even if he is a fellow Jinshi, he is also a Jinshi, how can he be treated like an ox or a horse! ?

Tian's expression was a little stiff, but she hadn't spoken yet, and the eunuch, the person in charge, spoke.

"Be like cows and horses for me, you don't have the qualifications yet!" Then he served tea and signaled Li Jiaxing to get out.

Li Jiaxing's face was flushed, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, and he was annoyed that Li Xiaojin didn't speak good words for him, and deliberately exposed his faults, intentionally humiliated him, and didn't want to help him at all!

"Xiaojin!" Li Changlu called Li Xiaojin sternly.

Xie Chuning snorted coldly, Li Changlu gritted his teeth, and begged again, but the little eunuch took a step forward with a cold face, "Master Chief is going to rest, you all step back!"

Li Jiaxing was extremely unwilling, but he didn't dare to offend them. Although these people were in a hurry, they were serving the nobles in the palace, so they could only leave in despair with Tian and Feng.

Li Xiaojin served the dishes apologetically, and invited the chief eunuch to eat.Then I learned that the other party's surname was Jiang.

Eunuch Jiang put on a kind smile to Li Xiaojin again, and liked the set of teapots and cups that Li Xiaojin gave him very much, pointing at the orchid, "You girl is not good at doing things!"

Li Xiaojin had a smile on his face, and he let out a sound in his heart.Those people are in the relationship of elders and relatives, and her mother's side can't be broken, like his mother's tarsal maggots, as if she likes it! ?
However, Li Changlu was full of complaints, and Li Xiaojin didn't even help Li Jiaxing in spite of the big face.

But Li Jiaxing did not give up, he finally seized the opportunity, if the chief eunuch came back to the palace to help him say a good word, let alone seek a real job, maybe he could get a good job.

When I got home, the family sat down together to discuss gift giving.

Although the family has dozens of taels of silver sent by the squire, and the land can be sold for a few acres, they can't raise much money.

Tian had no choice but to borrow. Li Changshou yelled that he had no money, and her natal family didn't have much money. Anyway, after turning around, his eyes returned to Li Xiaojin's house.

However, Li Xiaojin walked around and followed Eunuch Jiang all day long, basically staying in place.

Tian only needs to talk to Li Changlu about borrowing money. Where does Li Changlu have money? The 700 taels given by Mrs. Xie paid off the gambling debt and the remaining 30 taels. He's ten taels, and now there are only a little more than ten taels left, and he has to give Feng's pension money for next year, which is another ten taels.
