Chapter 31 An Attempt! The New Eunuch Li!
Chen Fan doesn't need much soil right now.
After clearing about half an acre of soil, he turned and went back into the house.
Meow…
Little Flower, who hadn't eaten yet, saw that people had returned and quickly came over to act cute and charming.
Chen Fan affectionately patted the cat's head and casually took a radish from the bowl.
As the cat became more and more intelligent, its appetite grew bigger and bigger.
It used to be able to eat its fill with half a radish, but now it needs a whole radish.
Adding to the troubles in the horse stable, Chen Fan is actually facing a significant shortage of radishes.
Thinking of all this, he sighed softly.
He glanced at the golden bowl beside him, and then vanished in a flash!
Meow…
The little flower, munching on a radish, was no longer a surprise.
After glancing at it, it continued to lie on the radish and devour it.
A world within a bowl.
After bringing in the loose soil, Chen Fan divided it into vegetable plots.
After sprinkling the holy water, he immediately planted the radish seeds!
After doing all that, all he had to do was wait for the ground to move!
"Let us out...let us out..."
At that moment, Wei Gonggong's mournful cries could be heard from afar.
Judging from the commotion, Chen Fan figured the other party was probably exhausted from running!
Instead of paying attention to him, he decided to starve the dead eunuch for a few more days.
With a smirk playing on his lips, Chen Fan squinted, stretched his back, and then darted away...
……
Afternoon, around 3 PM.
Chen Fan sows grass seeds in the vegetable garden.
Having dug up so much soil, he naturally had to restore the place.
Otherwise, if they were left exposed to the wind and rain, he was afraid the guests inside would be washed away!
He'll be in big trouble then!
"Godfather..."
While Chen Fan was busy.
The sound of small stools could be heard coming from outside the garden.
This startled him, and then he said in a deep voice:
"Our home is here..."
In no time at all.
A small stool led in a tall, handsome eunuch.
"Godfather... this is Xiao Li, assigned by the Directorate of Ceremonial... I brought him here for you to see."
"Young Master Li greets Eunuch Chen." The handsome Young Master Li smiled and quickly bowed his head in greeting.
"Understood. Take him to see the Imperial Stables and teach him the rules," Chen Fan said without looking up, scattering grass seeds.
"We have things to do at home right now, so we won't be going with you!"
"It's my godfather." Xiao Dengzi nodded slightly, then left with his men.
As Leonardo DiCaprio turned around, he secretly glanced at the newly turned soil on the ground.
Surprised, he didn't say anything more, but quickly left.
After the two left, Chen Fan stopped.
He squinted and touched the grass seeds in his hand, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Thinking back, the reason he let Xiaodengzi stay in the Imperial Stables was because he valued the boy's honest, unassuming, and non-competitive nature.
Now that the Imperial Stables has new people, it should be a good thing for them.
But Chen Fan still needed honest and dutiful eunuchs; those who were too clever and cunning were more harmful than helpful to him.
Especially now that he's secretly practicing martial arts and cultivating immortality in the Imperial Stables, it's something he absolutely cannot let anyone discover.
If word gets out and many people spread it, he'll be in trouble.
After much deliberation, Chen Fan decided to observe for two more days.
If all else fails, then send it out of the Imperial Stables!
……
Time flew by and it was already the next morning.
The third quarter of the hour of Mao (5:45 AM).
After opening his eyes, Chen Fan, who had been meditating cross-legged, got up, dressed, and went out.
As soon as he arrived at the horse pen, he heard a noise inside.
Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the newly arrived eunuch, Xiao Li, was already feeding the horses!
"Little Li greets Eunuch Chen..." Little Li bowed his head in greeting as soon as he saw Eunuch Chen arrive.
"Pretty early..." Chen Fan nodded slightly, squinting as he headed straight for the top-floor room.
Sure enough, a lot of fodder was also placed in the Black Wind Stone trough.
Unlike the other imperial horses, this one doesn't eat a single bite.
Clearly, it, which only eats radishes now, looks down on these guys.
"Eunuch Chen... this black wind doesn't eat grass... Little Li has checked several times, and it won't touch it at all." Little Li's voice came from behind.
He walked over, patted Black Wind's head, and asked with a puzzled look:
"Last night, Little Li looked at the Imperial Horse's file. This Black Wind is already considered an old horse. Judging by the timeline, isn't it almost time for it to die?"
hiss…
Upon hearing this, the black wind let out a howl.
It could understand human speech, and it directly shook off Little Li's hand!
Seeing this, Chen Fan smiled but remained silent.
Thinking about it, Black Wind ate so many radishes that his life was extended long ago!
That little eunuch is cursing it to die; isn't he just asking for trouble?
And because Little Li was there, Chen Fan couldn't feed Black Wind radishes!
Feeling some sympathy for Ma, he squinted and smiled:
"Maybe... I'm getting old... I'm not really sure... With you young people feeding the horses... I feel very reassured. Just keep an eye on them..."
After saying this, Chen Fan bowed and walked towards the kitchen.
"Yes... Eunuch Chen." Little Li nodded and turned to continue feeding the horses.
hiss…
Black Wind in the stables panicked as soon as he saw the old eunuch leave!
Having not yet eaten, it could only let out a howl towards the sky!
It was as if the old eunuch had been brought back.
Chen Fan, who was walking toward the kitchen, ignored the hissing sound coming from his ears.
"Godfather...you're here..."
Upon entering the kitchen, a small stool was used to heat water over a fire.
Upon seeing his godfather arrive, he quickly stood up to offer him his seat.
"Thanks for your hard work…"
Chen Fan smiled and sat down in front of the stove to warm himself by the fire.
The two chatted intermittently during the conversation.
They were talking about what had happened in the palace recently, and what was about to happen.
Chen Fan was indifferent to these matters, only nodding with narrowed eyes.
He only became interested after Xiaodengzi mentioned the new Director of Ceremonies.
"Godfather... isn't it incredible... that Eunuch Wei really can't be found? The Emperor, having no other choice, has put Eunuch Zheng in charge of the Directorate of Ceremonial!"
Eunuch Zheng?
Upon hearing the person mentioned by Xiaodengzi, a glint of light flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.
He had met this Eunuch Zheng before.
He was one of Eunuch Wei's men.
The emperor's decision to appoint him as the Grand Supervisor is most likely because he believes that Grand Eunuch Wei is dead!
"There are many things to do in the palace..." Chen Fan nodded with some emotion.
"We're not having lunch today, so you don't need to come. Goodbye..."
"Understood, Godfather," Little Stool said, stepping forward to help his godfather up.
"Little Li is much smarter than Little Stool. With him here, our burden has been greatly reduced. Godfather, you can rest assured!"
Chen Fan smiled with narrowed eyes and remained silent.
He didn't know if he was smart or not, but he was certainly quite hardworking.
Not long after he left.
Little Li fed the horse and came back.
Exhausted and covered in sweat, he complained as he walked:
"I don't know what's wrong with this Black Wind... it won't eat any grass anymore. We've been waiting for it for ages, but it just won't eat anything..."
"My godfather used to feed me...we didn't even know," Little Stool said with a smile.
"That's all there is to the Imperial Horse Stables. Take your time, Eunuch Li, you'll get used to it."
"Thank you for your concern, Eunuch Deng," Little Li said with a smile.
"What will Eunuch Chen eat for lunch today? He's new here, so let me go and make the order?"
