In ancient times, eunuchs had no status. Men are not like men and women are not like women, but generally speaking, there are conditions at home. Who will go to the palace to be a eunuch? It is said that eunuchs have some unpleasant smells, because they often can't hold their urine, which leads to the smell of urine. Usually, they should pay attention. After all, they have to wait on people all day, and there is an offensive smell. It doesn't matter if they don't have a job, and it's not good without life.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, DeDeZhang was very popular with Empress Dowager Cixi because of his thoughtful service. At the beginning, DeDeZhang was seriously ill in bed, and Empress Dowager Cixi paid a personal visit to Zhang De regardless of state affairs. This is unprecedented in ancient times, which makes DeDeZhang flattered. After his illness, he worked harder and even cooked for the Empress Dowager Lafayette.
However, such days did not last long. After all, it was the end of the Qing dynasty, and the Qing dynasty was already in turmoil. After the good ascension, Xiao Dezhang's life in the imperial court ended, but Xiao Dezi has always been loved by Cixi, so there are always many rewards, including gold and silver jewelry, but not bad money.
Eunuchs can marry daughters-in-law, but they can't, so Xiao Dezi also got himself four daughters-in-law. Life is very nourishing. He doesn't have to make money or go to work. He can live a good life by what Cixi gave him. There are rumors that Xiao is abnormal, but everyone is talking about it, and no one knows whether it is true or not.
