Xiao Jizi was taken aback, "Ah?"
He had no recollection of it; had he known in advance, he would have been too excited to sleep, rather than remaining so composed.
Xiao Qing remembered clearly, interjecting, "Didn't the master appoint you as the managing eunuch last night? I heard it with my own ears."
Lian Hua also remembered, "Right, it was mentioned last night. Have you forgotten?"
Xiao Jizi was again startled, slowly recalling the past, when suddenly he remembered the master mentioning it right before telling them a story.
He was shocked, "Wasn't that just in jest?"
This could work?
Was the master's way of promoting people always so sudden? Out of the blue, as if casually spoken—I thought it was a joke, but it actually turned out to be true!
