Quan Huan

There were two memorable figures in the Jing Dynasty—— Xiao Che was the chief minister of etiquette, with a cold face and dark hands. The little eunuchs in the palace did not even dare to breathe heavily when they saw him. According to folklore, he could stop children from crying at night. Shen Qingci was the number one scholar in the new department. He was gentle and elegant. His every word was praised by imperial writers as "having character". When he walked on the street, he could attract girls to secretly tie their handkerchiefs. At first, the two were really at odds with each other: Xiao Che felt that Shen Qingci was a "softhead", a scholar who came from the imperial examination and did not understand the power of the court; Shen Qingci thought that Xiao Che was a "Taiyin bird of prey" and had never done a few "open things" when he was in charge of the Dongchang. Until the salt transport case got entangled and Shen Qingci was blocked in an alley, it was Xiao Che who waved his black python pattern sleeves to protect him behind him; Xiao Che was investigating an old family feud case and there was no clue, and it was Shen Qingci who found the key half piece of paper in the pile of old papers in the Hanlin Academy. Later, someone saw that Xiao Che would secretly put peeled loquats on Shen Qingci's desk while he was reading; Shen Qingci would hold Xiao Che's wrists and massage them when he was injured, and said harshly, "I'm just afraid that you will be in pain and disturb me while I'm reading." No one expected that the young man who returned the jade pendant was being chased outside the palace gate, and the eunuch with the palm print who was secretly hiding a family feud in the East Factory would finally put aside the disputes in the capital and make tea together in the small courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River, peeling loquats, and watching the rain hit the bamboo curtains—— After all, no matter how cold a person is, there must be someone who can warm up the old scars on his wrist; no matter how straight his bones are, there must be someone who can protect him from being hurt by swords. Purpose: Based on the undercurrent of the court, this story tells the story of Xiao Che, a powerful eunuch, and Shen Qingci, the champion of the imperial court, solving unjust cases, vindicating their relatives, staying together in disputes, and interpreting the balance between family, country, and love.
