In the afternoon, Li Lianying waited for Cixi to drink, and after a few drinks, Cixi was drunk and misty-eyed. Li Lianying saw that the time had come, and took out the pen and ink that had been prepared long ago: "Lafayette, please give the slave a few words, okay?" Cixi fixed her mind and wrote four words, and Li Lianying was overjoyed.
After Cixi finished writing, she didn't think much about it, and fell asleep. Li Lianying, who was beside him, carefully put away the words, and then saw that Cixi was already asleep, and let people wait carefully, he turned around and hurried out of the palace.
The words in his hand were not what he wanted. The reason why I was happy in my heart was because the four words cixi were exactly what the buyer needed. It can be said that this time, even God is helping him "earn silver".
A few days ago, Li Lianying happened to go to a temple on Xiangshan Mountain and met a wealthy businessman. The rich merchant did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to let him find a way to get a pair of ink treasures from "Lafayette". He wanted to attract some fame for this small temple.
After Cixi was drunk, it may be because she often read the Buddha on weekdays, and she felt something in her heart, and what was written on the paper happened to be four words: Sex Moon Hengming.
This is a Buddhist saying that means to see nature with a clear mind, sex is the Tao, and the sex seen in meditation is round, initially white, and later pale yellow, like the moon. Sex Moon Hengming means that monasticism does not retreat!
Within a few days, the door of the small monastery was indeed hung with four large characters of Cixi's handwritten inscription. Since then, the incense of this temple on the incense hill has begun to flow endlessly.
And Li Lianying also found a way to make money from this matter. As long as you carefully serve Cixi and make her old man happy, then your own silver will not be a lot of money.
Since then, Li Lianying has often accompanied Cixi to drink. Every time she was drunk and misty-eyed, she asked Cixi for words. At first, Cixi was unaware. Later, she felt more and more that there was something wrong with this matter.
Li Lianying couldn't see it anymore, and directly prostrated her head and confessed her mistake: "Lafayette, your writing is too good." Many literati students want to see it. Not to mention, ordinary people. ”
Cixi, who was originally a little angry, laughed when she heard Li Lianying's "rainbow" fart, but verbally gave some "punishment", and this pass was confused by Li Lianying.
Then, the Cixi recorded in history at that time was not a good man or a woman, and even cruel to many people, why was he the only eunuch Li Lianying who "opened his eyes"?
All this must start from li Lianying after she entered the palace.
Li Lianying's original name was Li Jinxi, and he was also a child of a poor family, otherwise he would not have been sent to the palace to become a eunuch. When he entered the palace, he was only 7 years old, and he was also a child who had not grown up.
Although he is not very old, he has a lot of vision. Know who can "eat enough" and how to talk, in order to make yourself better alive.
In the eighth year of Tongzhi, the chief steward An Dehai was silenced, and the eunuchs in the palace were silent. Only Li Lianying, who was 21 years old at the time, became a red person around Cixi.
At that time, Cixi, who was already older, was not satisfied with her aging appearance and often lost her temper. In particular, when the palace ladies were combing her hair, if they saw her hair fall to the ground, she would get angry.
However, at her age, combing her hair and losing her hair is a very normal thing. For this reason, there are often palace ladies who cry and their eyes are red.
On this day, Cixi was in a bad mood again, and she was angry by losing her hair. Li Lianying walked up: "Lafayette, let the slave comb your hair for you, the slave will be very careful." ”
Sure enough, Li Lianying brushed Cixi's hair and did not lose her hair. From that day on, the matter was handed over to Li Lianying. He was even redder in front of Cixi.
So why did Li Lianying comb her hair and not lose her hair? Is it because his skills are better? Of course not, except that he hid a piece of cat skin on his body in advance. The hair that fell out was sucked away.

There is a reason why Li Lianying can become a big red person in front of Cixi. In addition to his cleverness, there is also a point that he really regards Cixi as his family.
On weekdays, in addition to accompanying Cixi, he would find some time to give Cixi a massage. This, too, he specifically learned, was to be able to bring the relationship between himself and Cixi closer.
In the book "Late Qing Dynasty Court Life", some pictures are recorded: When the two meet on weekdays, they will greet them like old friends: How is your health today, and your appetite is good?
When living in the West Garden and the Summer Palace, they will meet to walk their dogs. The two of them were in front, walking their dogs and chatting, and the palace ladies and little eunuchs could not disturb them, but could only follow from a distance.
If Li Lianying was a servant of Cixi, it would be more appropriate to say that this woman who has been listening to the government in history is very lonely in her heart. And Li Lianying has become a "companion" in her life.
In history, this kind of master-servant relationship has been able to last for half a century, and it has been very good, and it is also one of the few.
In 1908, Cixi died, and Li Lianying handled the funeral for her. After that, after a hundred days of filial piety for her, he left the palace.
In 1911, the 63-year-old Li Lianying also died and was buried at the Li Gong Ancestral Hall north of the Guandi Temple outside Balizhuang in Haidian District.
