Chapter 29 This is a good person!

Originally, these junior eunuchs only thought that a greeting would make the other party leave, but they never expected that this senior Eunuch would actually talk to them.

This left them dumbfounded and, at the same time, somewhat excited.

They also hurriedly replied:

"Responding to the senior Eunuch, we are on our way to the storeroom for rotation, may I ask if the senior Eunuch has any instructions for us."

Lin Yi, upon hearing this, chuckled and nodded:

"Oh, so you're going to work, that's just perfect, well then, you guys don't go to the storeroom for now, come with me first."

Saying this, he had already turned and walked back towards the courtyard of the etiquette room.

After hearing this, the junior eunuchs looked at each other, all confused about what was happening.

However, considering the high status of the other party, they still quickly followed him.

Half an hour later, the group of junior eunuchs looked at the weeds filling the courtyard and all started to frown and look distraught.

The leading blue-robed eunuch opened his mouth, wanting to speak.

However, Lin Yi suddenly glared at them:

"What's the matter? Do you have objections to my arrangements?"

The junior eunuchs were so frightened by his words that they trembled all over, and none dared to make a sound.

Seeing this, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction:

"I am a very reasonable person. If you have any objections, just speak up, and I will definitely listen earnestly.

Oh right, whether I will accept your suggestions after listening, that I cannot guarantee."

The words almost led these junior eunuchs to rush up and give Lin Yi a bit of physical punishment.

Look at this, are these even human words? After all, if you're not going to take suggestions, then why the hell speak at all, that's just infuriating.

"Actually, you needn't be so troubled. Let me ask you, you were going to the storeroom to work for the Rituals Office, weren't you?"

The crowd nodded, and Lin Yi continued to ask:

"So, isn't the etiquette room part of the Rituals Office?"

The crowd nodded again, and Lin Yi further inquired:

"Well, no matter what, you are still working for the Rituals Office, so isn't weeding the etiquette room the same as working in the storeroom?"

The crowd thought: Damn, that actually sounds quite reasonable??

In summary, a short while later, looking at the junior eunuchs pulling weeds in the courtyard, the corners of Lin Yi's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Hehe, manual labor? I'm never going to work in this lifetime!

Ahem, collaborative work doesn't count.

In any case, Lin Yi, who is now the chief eunuch of Youpin Street, naturally wouldn't be going back to do any physical labor.

Not only did he have these junior eunuchs, these robust men, to pull the weeds, but he also had them clean up his own room.

Joking aside, if they don't tidy up a nice and clean room, am I really supposed to share one with that old eunuch??

Setting other things aside, the huge secret I carry cannot absolutely be known by outsiders.

Sometimes, Lin Yi wonders if the reason why the Emperor sent him here was to prevent his enormous secret from being discovered by others?

After all, in this Imperial Palace, there might not be a second courtyard as quiet as this one.

Watching everyone work with enthusiasm, Lin Yi didn't sit idle, after all, this was also for cleaning up his courtyard.

Hence, while everyone was busy, Lin Yi also laboriously moved over a straw mat and found a cool spot under a big tree to lie down.

Seeing this scene, the little eunuchs were feeling extremely frustrated.

Waking up, Lin Yi felt his stomach rumbling non-stop. He took a glance and saw the little eunuchs had almost finished weeding the courtyard.

Including his own room, which had also been tidied up.

Lin Yi was very pleased with this. Looking up at the blazing sun, he grandly gestured with a wave of his hand:

"Alright, alright, stop cleaning for now. Everyone has worked hard. We'll continue with the tasks in the afternoon, but first, I'm going to treat you all to a meal!"

Upon hearing these words, the throng of eunuchs finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, they used their sweat-soaked sleeves to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.

The leading little eunuch quickly spoke up, saying there was no need:

"There's no need, no need at all. This is what we should be doing. How could we trouble you, sir? We'll go back to eat and then return to continue cleaning up your courtyard."

After saying this, he bowed, ready to take his leave.

However, just as they were about to turn around, Lin Yi's voice rang out again.

But the words that came out almost choked the little eunuch.

"Fine then, since you want to go back for a meal, I won't keep you.

It just so happens that after you return, bring back two portions of food for me too, saving me the trouble of arranging it myself.

Oh right, besides being a vegetarian when I need to abstain, I have no other food prohibitions. Also, since I'm quite tired from working all morning, bring me a bit more, will you?"

These words left everyone dumbfounded. They had seen shameless people but had never come across someone as brazenly shameless as this.

They had already felt that Lin Yi had a thick face, but it turned out they were being hasty in their judgment.

Of course, now that Lin Yi had instructed them, even though they were feeling miserable, they had to comply.

Thus, the little eunuchs bowed again, agreeing, and were ready to leave.

But just as they were about to depart, the leading little eunuch felt something being thrown at him.

This startled him at first, but then he quickly reached out in a panic to catch it.

And it was at this moment that Lin Yi's voice lightly drifted into his ears:

"Share it among the brothers, get some wine to drink when you have a chance. Oh, and remember, no more giving this afternoon, alright?"

The leading little eunuch looked down and saw a large chunk of dark silver in his hands!

Yes! Silver!

And judging by the weight, it must be around ten taels!

Even if it were divided equally, each person would have about one tael!

For these little eunuchs who only received a monthly salary of 500 wen, this was equivalent to two months' wages!

By the time they looked up at Lin Yi again, they saw he had already casually walked into the room they had just cleaned.

At that moment, their faces were all filled with gratitude.

The group sincerely bowed once more in the direction of Lin Yi's room. Then they left, biting their lips.

Although Lin Yi had always been quite annoying, in the end, he gave each of them such a substantial amount of silver.

This was treatment they had never experienced before.

Although they were also bossed around by the various Eunuchs on regular days, not only were they not given any money as a reward, but they would even be happy to avoid being scolded.

Meanwhile, inside the room, watching the little eunuchs bow and leave, Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head:

"Although I often speak out of turn, am lazy in my actions, and, heh, also a bit greedy and lustful, I do have my principles. To bully others by throwing my weight around is something I, Lin Yi, will absolutely never do…"
