373. Get lost
Cao Jixiang was originally a eunuch under Wang Zhenmen, and being able to survive the sound of reckoning is enough to prove that he is highly skilled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
are also Wang Zhen's cronies, Ma Shun, the commander of the brocade guards, was beaten to death by the civil officials in the court.
The identity of the direct palace supervisor arranged by Cao Jixiang for Xu Xiaole was not something that was randomly figured out. The supervisor of the straight hall is in charge of the sprinkling and sweeping of the halls and corridors, gets up earlier than the chicken, sleeps later than the dog, and his status belongs to the lower middle among the twenty-four yamen, and the tail hangs in the twelve prisons, and it is not even as good as some of the yamen in the four divisions and eight bureaus.
Let Xu Xiaole pretend to be the firefighter of the direct palace eunuch, he can go to and from the imperial city at night without interrogation, even if the east window incident happens, it is easy to settle the direct palace eunuch's side. Because for the palaces and corridors outside the inner palace, the direct palace supervisors often use foreign miscellaneous servants to save money and effort.
After some entanglement, Xu Xiaole himself finally put on the costume of the fire man, hung up the waist card, carried the utensils and medicinal materials for decoction, and asked Pipi to hide in the medicine jar. He put on Pippi, but he felt that he was really embarrassed, and with multiple partners, he seemed to feel much better.
But as long as the first step is taken, it doesn't matter if you go on.
When Xu Xiaole walked outside the imperial city, his shame had disappeared without a trace.
What if you are treated as a eunuch? The most in the imperial city are eunuchs.
What he is really embarrassed about at the moment is that the eunuchs also have three, six, nine and so on, and the one at the top is called a eunuch, and it seems that he will never become a eunuch, which is really a regret that he has not done his full work.
With such a strange feeling, Xu Xiaole was not nervous at all when he passed by the small yellow door to check the waist card, and it was naturally as if he had walked thousands of times.
The little yellow door that is worth more is still a little blind to see Xu Xiaole, and wants to ask a few more questions, but he feels that Xu Xiaole is so confident, there must be some origins. So the little yellow door didn't say anything, returned the waist card to Xu Xiaole, and made way out.
Xu Xiaole thought that these little yellow doors were also arranged by Cao Jixiang, wasn't that Liang Fang also a little yellow gate before? So he didn't even bother to say thank you, and walked in directly, thinking about how to get to Nangong.
Who is Xu Xiaole? You will get lost in the gardens of the Huang family in Suzhou, not to mention the imperial city! However, no one knew that Xu Xiaole was a quasi-road idiot, so no one came to show him the way. Such a vast southern interior, as secluded as a ghost domain, Xu Xiaole only walked twice at night, and if he can remember, there are really ghosts!
Xu Xiaole didn't know how long he had walked, and the more he walked, the more confused he felt. It was dark when I saw it, and I didn't know where I was going anymore. He wanted to ask for directions, but he didn't dare to ask the eunuchs who were guarding the door. The duty of these eunuchs is to guard the door, and they must remember the faces that often come and go, and it is simply self-defeating to go up and ask for directions by themselves.
So Xu Xiaole calmly circled twice, seeing that the scenery was very different from Nannei, and he also saw several majestic buildings along the way, and the eunuchs on the road gradually increased.
Xu Xiaole secretly said in his heart: The people guarding the door can't ask, but these people on the road are probably not so vigilant.
So Xu Xiaole leaned up, wanting to pinch his throat to learn the eunuch's tone to speak, but before he could get ready, the eunuch had already turned his head and said, "Are you new here?" ”
Xu Xiaole secretly said in his heart: It seems that not everyone knows anyone in this place.
He nodded repeatedly.
The fire man said, "Why did you enter the palace?" ”
Xu Xiaole couldn't answer this time. He secretly said in his heart: Who is willing to send his son to the palace as a eunuch? Looking at the eunuch in front of him, his age doesn't seem to be much different from him. He said, "What else can I do, but I can't do that." ”
The eunuch looked suddenly enlightened, and said, "You are also an adult in the family who committed a crime and was purified into the palace?" ”
Xu Xiaole laughed dryly, and said secretly in his heart: Dad, don't blame me if you know what you know, he was wrong, I didn't say that you committed a crime.
Seeing Xu Xiaole's expression, the eunuch was even more convinced of his own opinion, and said, "Actually, don't be sad." Since you are the son of an official eunuch, you are literate, right? ”
- Literacy? Brother, although I don't have 10,000 books, I have thousands of books. From "Chinese" and "Book of Zhou" to "History of Song" and "History of Yuan", you can't read anything! You actually asked me if I was literate?!
Xu Xiaole gritted his teeth and said, "Literacy." ”
The eunuch said, "There is a way out if you are literate." Let me tell you, our secretary is also the son of an official eunuch, and his father was originally a servant Siqing, and he was implicated because of the Dai Lun case...... Raid the family and go to prison. ”
Xu Xiaole nodded again and again when he heard this, and said in his heart: The first time we met, you told me so much, which made me a little scared. Won't you kill me? By the way, go back and ask the emperor what the secretary and the servant Siqing do.
The eunuch said: "Dai Yishu can reach today's status because of the benefits of literacy." Tsk, I didn't expect you to be literate, okay, promising. By the way, what are you doing here? What to carry? ”
Xu Xiaole said casually: "Hmm, I'm here to deliver something." ”
The eunuch let out an "oh" and asked, "Where can I send it?" ”
Xu Xiaole said: "It's ......" He almost blurted out the word "emperor", and suddenly felt inappropriate. I got lost and walked here, who knows exactly where this is? Wouldn't it be worse if this eunuch were on His Majesty's side today?
Xu Xiaole was stunned, and the eunuch put on a look of sudden realization again, and said, "I know." It's embarrassing, isn't it? ”
Xu Xiaole breathed a sigh of relief and secretly said that he had made the right bet. If this eunuch was from the emperor's faction, he would definitely not say it so easily and without respect. The emperor is the emperor who has been the emperor of the Son of Heaven for more than ten years, okay! Although it's unlucky, it's not that you eunuchs can run behind it, and it's "the embarrassing one...... It's pretty accurate.
Eunuch: "Then you go quickly, that fierce woman is a little crazy, and it is not worth it to spill anger on your head when the time comes." ”
Xu Xiaole is stupid, what's going on with the "fierce woman"? There is only one Ruan husband by the emperor's side. He exhausted his imagination and finally found the answer: either Ruan's husband and daughter dressed as men, and the palace maid dressed as eunuchs; Either the imperial city is too big, and there is a misunderstanding between the eunuchs with false rumors.
The correct answer is obviously the latter.
Anyway, Xu Xiaole felt that this broken mouth was safer, so he said, "But I'm lost." ”
The eunuch looked at Xu Xiaole with mockery and said, "Ha, you are still literate." They all walked to the door, but they said they were lost. ”
Xu Xiaole felt that there was a problem, but he still stubbornly said: "How to go, please teach me my brother." ”
The eunuch said: "Look at the ground, recognize this kind of green brick, and keep walking along this road." Walk to the place where the bricks are crossed, turn left, and then go straight at the second intersection. The palace at the end of the road is it. ”
Xu Xiaole's scalp was numb: "So far? ”
The eunuch said: "Speaking of trouble, it's less than a mile away." Go for it! ”
Xu Xiaole thanked him, and walked in the direction that the eunuch said with his things on his back.
As he walked, he thought: Is it right? How come I don't remember that there were so many trees last up? Hey, it seems that the woods in front are denser, didn't Eunuch Cao say that the trees in Nangong were all cut down that day? (To be continued.) )
