At the east gate of the imperial city, the guards of Dong'an Gate can be regarded as having opened their eyes today, and in the middle of the afternoon, when they were really curling up in the door and chattering, suddenly a group of "beggar disciples" came in, one by one, covered in mud and running towards the imperial city with a fierce face.

I rub, is this the rhythm of the siege of the palace, and in an instant, these guards broke out in a cold sweat, and the door was about to close when the sword was unsheathed......

What's that, it's all eunuchs? After some tossing, the guards were dumbfounded, and only after verifying their identities did they let them go, but they were at a loss, when they went out so much, and how they were so embarrassed.

There is naturally a reason why the eunuchs chose to come back from the east gate, the closest to the Chaoyang Gate, and the closest door to the eunuchs' nest, otherwise this kind of appearance will inevitably cause all kinds of uproar when they enter from the main gate.

In the prison yard, Chunxiang and several people were taking a roll call, and after a few rechecks, it was determined that there was one person missing.

Chang Yu.

At the mouth of Dashilar Nameless Hutong, when a stupid teahouse suddenly broke into a person, his first reaction was to scold people, and now these beggars are fat and dare to break in.

The big spoon in his hand was about to scare, but the man in front of him was fearless, just looked at him like that, and then the big spoon slowly fell: "Hey, Brother Guiren, what's wrong with you?" ”

wipe, Chang Yu's legs were weak when he was called by a noble brother, and then he found a seat and sat down: "The whole pot of tea warms me up."

"Okay" The stupid big man hurriedly helped Chang Yu make a pot of hot tea, then stared at this dirty man curiously, and asked questions.

Chang Yu was tired, too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and gave him a cold look, stupid and big man is not stupid, and ran towards the outside of the store.

After a while, there was movement outside the store.

"Oh, noble man, you can come, the old woman is still thinking that the sky is not good today, so I can't come" Before the person arrived, the grandmother opened the curtain and walked in, showing a professional smile.

"If I don't come, you probably won't be able to sleep well tonight," he said, reaching into his arms and taking out a silver ticket: "Two hundred taels of the Qianmen Huitai" (There is a debate about the specific time when the silver ticket appeared, and most of them believe that after the middle of the Xingqing Dynasty, it was a late Qing Dynasty.) Paper money is available in the Song Dynasty, this is a novel, not true)

"Oh, that old woman can accept it" The grandmother couldn't hide her joy, indeed as Chang Yu said, she had been thinking about this business all night, lest she fly, and now she saw that the silver finally landed with a heart.

Reaching out to pick it up, Chang Yu shook his hand: "What about people?" ”

"Everyone is in the Guangqumen house now, and the old woman is busy with this early in the morning, it's not a secret, the lunch is all the money from the old woman to buy them some food" The grandmother put away her smile and looked serious.

Chang Yu nodded, handed the silver ticket to her, and then took out ten taels from his arms: "Bother me to help me buy them some bedding, clothes, shoes and socks."

"Yes, yes, the wife is familiar, and there is nothing to do in this weather, so I will help you run errands." Grandma Sun readily agreed.

"Is that enough?" Chang Yu didn't know anything about the prices of this year, he only knew that silver was very valuable now, and his purchasing power was very strong, but he didn't know the psychology of buying more than 20 people's objects for ten taels of silver at once.

"Enough, enough, the general clothes are enough, and they will not be dressed in silk and satin, besides, if the money is not enough, the nobles will make up for it when they go back, and they will not let the old woman run errands and lose money...... "The grandmother's face was clever, and her words were even more leaky.

Chang Yu sighed secretly, nodded, then glanced at the stupid big one, and threw a small piece of broken silver: "Rent a car."

In front of the Guangqumen house, the cold wind mixed with the drizzle and snow hit the face painfully.

Chang Yu glanced around, there was no figure on the street, and on the carriage not far away, the stupid big man was curled up, looking down and not knowing what he was chatting with his animal.

Bang bang bang, Chang Yu patted the two wooden doors that were about to fall apart.

Halfway through, someone inside finally answered, the door creaked open, and a dark and thin young man with a little cringe on his face: "Who are you looking for?" ”

About twenty years old, malnourished, listless, with thin clothes on his body, shivering from the cold, Chang Yu glanced at him and walked in: "What about the others?" ”

"You, who are you looking for?" The young man was a little flustered, and wanted to push Chang Yu, but where did he touch Chang Yu, his hand had not just been close to his body, and he was gently taken by Chang Yu, and he almost fell.

"Call everyone else out" Chang Yu looked at him and smiled, the young man was stunned, and finally reacted, and knew in his heart the approximate identity of the young man in front of him, nodded slightly at Chang Yu, and then ran to the courtyard, shouting in his mouth: "All come out, all come out, the main family is here......"

Twenty-six, tall and thin, only the lack of fat, all of them with a vegetable, black and not slippery, no clothes to cover their bodies, I don't know where my grandmother found these, but fortunately, the age is very young, the oldest one is only twenty-four, and the youngest one is only sixteen.

"My surname is Chang, my name is Yu. It is the master of this house, but not your master, our master's surname is Huang (Huang), from now on, you are the Huang family's family, everything must obey me."

Chang Yu looked at the family members standing in a row with a faint expression: "I am a very good person, and I also value feelings, and I can even get along with you as brothers, but the premise is that you must do three things."

The family looked at each other, the Ming Dynasty was still a relatively strict class era, especially this kind of person who was bought as a domestic servant, to put it bluntly, he was a slave, but the young man said that he could get along with their brothers, which was really unexpected. I'm also curious about the three things Chang Yu wants to say.

"Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty" Chang Yu walked slowly and stared at them, his finger tapping in the air, and said three times in a row.

"I don't care what you have experienced before, when you enter the Huang family, you must be absolutely loyal to the Huang family, but if I find something to eat inside and outside, I will really kill him with my own hands"

Chang Yu's eyes were grim, a hundred times colder than the weather at the moment, and more than 20 family members couldn't help shaking their heads and whispering: "Don't dare, don't dare."

The killing rod is really majestic, which makes these families feel terrified, obviously there is a young man in front of him, but they just don't dare to look at him.

This is the effect I wanted, after the white face finished singing, Chang Yu turned to a red face and began to shush and ask for warmth.

The house in the house is very dilapidated, full of sundries, after a morning of cleaning up by everyone, it finally looks a little bit, barely able to live in, but lacks mattresses and so on.

However, the weather was too cold, so everyone looked for a vacant room, lit firewood, and gathered together to keep warm.

Standing at the door of the room, Chang Yu glanced inside, there was a bonfire in the open space in the room, and the smoke was a little smoky, so he didn't go.

took out five taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the oldest young man named Luo Tang, asking him to take the two of them to buy some food, and told him that someone would send some bedding and clothes later.

"Don't come to those false tricks, just call Brother Chang in the future" Chang Yu smiled, and then walked around the courtyard, and everyone followed behind.

"The wall should be heightened and thickened, and the wings over there should also be repaired...... Chang Yu took a look around, and from time to time told these families to buy materials and rest the house by themselves.

The sky darkened, and just as Chang Yu was about to leave, Grandma Sun led someone to drive a big car to deliver the supplies that Chang Yu told him to buy.

Although this old woman is worldly, she does things neatly, and Chang Yu's impression of her has gradually improved.

Luo Tang also came back, carrying grain, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and some dried vegetables, and he didn't even buy fast meat, so he seemed to be quite good at living.

"Ming'er buys a big piece of meat, three meals a day must have a meal of meat, don't say that you replenish your body, our Huang family is a big family, not bad for that money, and we can't afford to lose that person."

Chang Yu's family members who heard this were complacent in their hearts, and it was indeed a lucky thing to have such a big family.

It was already dark, Chang Yu was in a hurry to go back, hurriedly said goodbye, and did not forget the last instruct: "Remember, don't go out at will, don't let anyone in except me."

"Brother nobleman, where are we going?" Seeing Chang Yu rushing into the car, the stupid big man cheered up and asked.

"Near Dong'anmen" Chang Yu looked at the sky getting darker and darker, a little anxious in his heart, blurted out, and then reacted with some regret, but fortunately, the stupid big man snorted, and only after half a sound came: "Brother Guiren is going to the vicinity of the imperial city."

"Well, I made an appointment for wine in the evening," Chang Yu said and urged him to hurry up.

There was still half a street away from Dong'anmen, Chang Yu found a restaurant near the restaurant and got out of the car, let the stupid big man drive back, and when the carriage disappeared on the corner, he galloped away.

The road was slippery in the snow, although he tried his best, when he arrived at Dong'anmen, the imperial city had already been locked.

Bang bang,

"Brothers, Chang Yu of our prince's mansion, can you be accommodating and let our family in?" Chang Yu stomped his feet and asked in a good voice, he is now famous in the palace, and most people will give face.

"It turned out to be Grandpa Chang" There was a voice from the guards guarding the door, and there was some warmth in his words: "I'm sorry Grandpa Chang, you can spend the night outside tonight, no one dares to open this gate except for the emperor's order."

Rub, Chang Yu slammed the city gate, there was no sound inside, and he sighed long, he didn't know that it was dark and locked, and the imperial city was closed, which was absolutely not allowed to be opened, just like the harem in the palace.

Looking up at the sky, it was pitch black, the hair and snow slag pierced the face with the wind, and there were occasional shop lanterns swaying in the wind on the street corner, but there were few pedestrians.

The clothes on his body are full of dirt, and he is hungry, how can he feel so depressed in an instant, how dignified he was when he took hundreds of people to fight a few hours ago, but now he is homeless on the street, Chang Yu smiled bitterly and walked towards a restaurant in the distance.

Not surprisingly, when Chang Yu appeared at the door of the restaurant, he was almost scolded out, and he was mentally prepared as soon as his mouth opened in the running hall, and he spread out his palm: a handful of silver.

A bowl of hot mutton soup, a cut mutton and a little oil cake, Chang Yu sat in the corner and swept it away, warm all over.

After all, a fierce battle in the afternoon almost made him lose his strength, and now he just wants to find an inn to take a hot bath and sleep well.

But when he walked out of the restaurant and stood at the door by the cool breeze, he suddenly became much more sober, looked at the streets on both sides, looked up at the night, and suddenly had a strange feeling, he had traveled over for more than ten days, and he had been out of the palace three times, but he hadn't even taken a good look at Beijing.

Why not take a night trip tonight?
