The Wanjia Coal Depot was the largest coal depot in southern Taiwan, with its headquarters in Kyoto. This was the biggest obstacle to the Ren family's attempts to open a coal depot in the south. The Wanjia family had operated in the south for several generations before achieving their current scale.
"Who is it?" Although it was very strange for Concubine Fang to speak in such a loud tone as a concubine, Old Master Ren couldn't help but ask along with her words.
Aunt Fang smiled slightly, and her eyes, which were always gentle as water, were filled with a hint of determination and confidence: "This man's surname is Lu, and he is a eunuch."
Old Master Ren was shocked when he heard this: "Eunuch? A eunuch from the palace?"
Aunt Fang nodded and said, "The old master has been in Yanbei all this time and may not have heard of this Eunuch Lu. He is a very popular person around the Empress Dowager Yan. He has served the Empress Dowager for more than ten years and is deeply trusted by the Empress Dowager Yan."
Old Master Ren was so shocked that he couldn't express it in words. He paused for a long time before asking, "How did Cun get to know this Eunuch Lu?"
Aunt Fang said, "I'm not entirely sure about the details, but it seems my superiors recognized Eunuch Lu as their adopted father, and they've always admired him, so I had the good fortune to meet him. In my last letter, I mentioned that I was planning to introduce him to the Ren family. In the capital, every official, big or small, would want to give Eunuch Lu some respect. Eunuch Lu's respect is the face of Empress Dowager Yan."
Although Old Master Ren was quite tempted by this, he was still a cautious man after all. He asked with some suspicion, "Since my nephew Cun has such connections in Kyoto, why would he go to such lengths to become an official in Yanbei? With Eunuch Lu as his backer, wouldn't he have a bright future in Kyoto?"
"This..." Aunt Fang paused, as if hesitating for a moment before saying, "As a woman, I don't know much about officialdom, but I think Cun must have his own considerations for coming to Yanbei."
Old Master Ren didn't seem very satisfied with Aunt Fang's words.
Aunt Fang thought for a moment before whispering, "But I heard that this Eunuch Lu will most likely be sent to Yanbei as an imperial envoy in the future."
When Old Master Ren heard this, his heart moved. If this was true, it seemed to explain why Fang Cun tried every means to come to Yanbei.
Fang Cun came here on the orders of his superiors or Eunuch Lu, in order to prepare for Eunuch Lu's future visit to Yanbei.
Old Master Ren couldn't help but start to think about it.
Although Fang Cun's trip to Yanbei was not smooth this time, it does not mean that he will not have the opportunity to come in the future if he can really get close to the popular figure around Empress Dowager Yan.

Tonight, while cooking and peeling chicken skin, I accidentally cut my finger and it bled a lot. I felt dizzy and then fell on the bed and slept for a long time. It is said that this is the legendary blood-sickness. However, I didn't faint on the ground. I felt sleepy only after I bandaged the wound...
(The author is worried about whether he will have a shadow on chickens in the future!!!!)
