It was the first time for Lin Xi to walk in Changle Palace so casually.

Red Wall Green Tile Golden Palace Garden...

Everything shows the royal majesty.

He was on his way to the Shang Palace to look for Mrs. Zheng.

The post of chief eunuch in Changle Palace has been vacant for a long time.

Now that he has taken up this position, he naturally has to get a waist card to prove his identity.

Otherwise, there is no proof for showing off.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace are under separate jurisdiction.

But in Changle Palace, regardless of the eunuch or the maid, all affairs were handed over to the official Zheng.

Coupled with the fact that there were five nobles to deal with, it would not be too much to describe Ms. Zheng as a day-to-day affair.

After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, Lin Xi came to a large courtyard.

This is the center that manages the etiquette, personnel, laws and regulations, finances and all miscellaneous affairs of the entire Changle Palace.

Shang Palace.

At this moment, three large carriages were parked at the entrance of the courtyard.

There are beautifully crafted boxes on the carriage, and Mrs. Zheng is leading people to count things.

Seeing this, Lin Xi didn't turn away, walked forward with her hands behind her back, and waited quietly behind them.

There was no gold or silver in the box, but there were a lot of jewelry, and some exquisite objects made of glass agate and other materials.

He guessed at a glance that these must have been sent to the shopaholic at Prison Jade Villa.

"One agate fairy pillow, worth 700 taels of silver."

"A frame of brocade patterns occupying flower stones is worth 100 [-] taels of silver."

"A pair of warm jade saddles, worth..."

Listening to the maid taking out the treasures one by one to reconcile the account, Lin Xi seemed to have a large pile of silver in front of his eyes.

He still has a certain concept of money in this world.

The original host lived in the market place, was insensitive to money, and starved to death long ago.

After all, stolen things are always sold.

Dazhou is a small country, and the main currency of the people is copper coins.

One tael of silver is equal to one thousand copper coins, and one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, which is ten thousand coins.

In a normal year, one tael of silver is enough to buy one stone of polished rice or two stones of brown rice.

According to the food intake of a family of four, two meals a day, one stone of rice will last for a month.

So just eating rice, a family can earn at least six taels of silver a year.

In addition to other expenses such as vegetables, salt, cloth, etc., the annual expenditure of 20 taels of silver is at least.

But now that there has been a severe drought year after year, the price of rice has already doubled, and the people can't even afford food and clothing.

Changle Palace is still spending a lot of money to buy these useless things, Lin Xi can see the difference in the world again.

"A beautiful stone carving of a horse head, worth... a tael of silver?"

When reporting an item, the maid paused in surprise, then turned her head and asked.

"Aunt Zheng, although this thing is beautifully crafted, it's not really a treasure, is it?"

"Leave it alone, maybe nobleman B will like it."

Ms. Zheng glanced lightly, then turned her gaze back to the ledger in her hand.

She compared the ground very seriously, and even now she hasn't noticed Lin Xi's arrival.

But Lin Xi behind her couldn't help it.

What kind of horse head stone carving, this is clearly the horse talisman he has been thinking about!
"and many more!"

Seeing that the stone sculpture was about to be replaced, he hurriedly stopped it.

This sound finally caught the attention of Ms. Zheng. She turned her head and looked behind her, and recognized Lin Xi at a glance.

"How did you come?"

Ms. Zheng has a stout body, but she doesn't look ugly. On the contrary, she looks kind.

For some reason, when she saw Lin Xi, a rare smile appeared on her face.

"Oh, come to get the identity badge?"

"Exactly, please trouble Aunt Zheng."

Lin Xi was given face by others, and he had to pay back three points.

Lady Zheng was polite, so he just imitated how a court lady shouted and called Aunt Zheng.

Although Wu Yue said that he was the second child in the entire Changle Palace.

But how could he be so ignorant, what good is being the second child.Going in and out of the dark place all day is hard work.

"You came a little early, wait for a while, and I will get this car of treasures to you after checking."

"No hurry, I think this stone sculpture is very interesting. I wonder if Aunt Zheng can lend me a few days to observe it?"

Lin Xi asked tentatively.

It is best if the other party is willing to give face, if not, then you can only think of a way later.

After all, this is something the system requires to collect, not to mention that the twelve zodiac signs have their own unique abilities.

It is a good supplement for him who is now in a low level.

"take it."

Unexpectedly, Ms. Zheng did not intend to stop her at all.

She glanced at the court lady, asked her to pass the things to Lin Xi, and then introduced them directly.

"Remember, this is the newly appointed eunuch in charge of Changle Palace. From now on, you must listen to him regarding matters concerning the five nobles."

All the female officials who were arranging their belongings saluted Lin Xi one after another upon hearing this.

"Slaves, please refer to the Chief Manager."

"Don't, don't, we're all on our own."

The female officials of Changle Palace are not low in appearance, and Yingyingyanyan's greeting made him feel a little smug.

I completely forgot how to respond, and could only use my usual polite words.

"Pfft..."

The female officials laughed together because of his nervous appearance, they only thought that the chief eunuch was really cute and tight.

"Thank you, Aunt Zheng."

Lin Xi smiled awkwardly, took the horse head talisman and put it in his sleeve.

Then the female officials continued to check the treasures, and he watched from the side.

A quarter of an hour later, after all the treasures were counted, Officer Zheng invited him in.

After entering the area of ​​the Shang Palace, there were more and more beautiful court ladies, which directly dazzled him.

Until entering the official room of Ms. Zheng, there are still four attractive female officials doing the accounting work in the room.

Lin Xi couldn't help but sigh, Changle Palace not only has more houses... more beauties.

"Seeing that you like the way it looks here, why don't you get a room in the Shangguanyuan for you to come and sit every day?"

Officer Zheng joked, taking out a brown waist card from the cabinet in the corner and handing it to him.

"May I?……"

Lin Xi was deeply seduced by these words.

Surrounded by a group of beautiful maids every day, that would be so cool.

but…

My special mother's identity is a eunuch!

Doesn't this become "Ask how much worry you can have, just like a group of eunuchs going to brothels?"

Can I watch or not...

There is no crueler torture than this in the world!
"Of course not. Only female officials are allowed here in the Shangguanyuan. You are a eunuch, so you should find a courtyard by yourself as a duty room."

Fortunately, Mrs. Zheng's words directly strangled his fantasy and brought him back to reality.

"Uh…"

Lin Xi sighed with some regret.

But he didn't care for a long time, and immediately returned to the topic.

"Is any yard okay?"

"Changle Palace is very big, and there are quite a few vacant courtyards. You can pick them yourself when you have time."

Ms. Zheng finished her work, and her tone already meant to see off the guests.

Lin Xi was also interested, and then said goodbye and left.
