Chapter XXXVIII

After a night of tossing, Huang Xu, the housekeeper, is also justified, but what the palace housekeeper is going to do, Huang Xu is not very clear until now. To be honest, although his lip service is good, after all, he really hasn't done it as a housekeeper, so he's a little worried. However, his worries were unnecessary, because naturally someone would take the initiative to tell him what he should do, no, not long after Huang Xu got up, Ning Zezhong came to him, saying that he wanted to invite him to have breakfast together, and then take him to familiarize himself with the daily affairs of the housekeeper. When Huang Xu heard it, he couldn't ask for it, so he didn't say a word, and followed Ning Zezhong.

Ning Zezhong led the way in front, and Huang Xu walked behind Ning Zezhong, walking and walking, Huang Xu always felt that something was wrong, and he vaguely felt that there was always a pair of eyes staring at him behind him. In fact, a martial arts master like Huang Xu has super sensitive senses, if someone secretly does something wrong to them, under normal circumstances, they will feel it even if they don't see it with their own eyes, just like Huang Xu is now. Therefore, it is normal for Huang Xu to feel like this now.

He may have been watched, nine times out of ten he was sent by the East King, it seems that he is not very at ease with himself, this is Huang Xu's direct thought after feeling that someone is watching.

Huang Xu guessed right, the person who monitored Huang Xu was sent by Fang Hu according to the instructions of the East King, and he was a master selected by Fang Hu from among the guards, but even so, he still did not escape Huang Xu's perception. From this level, Huang Xu can be called a real master.

Huang Xu didn't debunk this stalker on the spot, because he knew that even if he caught this person red-handed now, there would be no result, because this person would not admit that he was sent by the East King so easily, and he would not admit that he was here to spy on Huang Xu. Moreover, more importantly, Huang Xu also used his mouth to pass on the message to the East King, so as to wash away his innocence. It seems that I need to seriously rearrange it.

Huang Xu pretended to be nothing, and followed Ning Zezhong to have breakfast first. After breakfast, Ning Zezhong took Huang Xu to do today's business and familiarize himself with the housekeeping business.

Huang Xu followed Ning Zezhong to the door of a silent courtyard and stopped. Ning Zezhong turned around and said respectfully to Huang Xu: "Steward Huang, this is where you will live and work in the future, I will take you in to have a look." After speaking, he pushed open the door with both hands, then stood on the side of the door, made a gesture of please, and said with a smile on his face: "Butler, please." ”

Huang Xu nodded with a smile towards Ning Zezhong, and stepped into the place where he was going to live for a period of time in the future, and then, he looked at this place seriously, and generally felt good. At least this place is different from the rest of Dongwangfu, this place is not too luxurious.

So, let's talk about the details of this place first.

This is a small courtyard house, the room facing the gate should be Huang Xu's daily office, and the one on the left side of the gate should be the living room, and the one on the right should be the usual living room.

In the middle of the yard, there are a few old pines, and now it is relatively cold, but these pine trees are still vigorous and upright, lush. And the house facing the door is also planted on both sides of some evergreen rare plants, these things are about the height of one person, if you want to hide in it and do something bad, it is generally difficult for people to find out. Huang Xu walked to the middle of this courtyard, stretched out his hands, closed his eyes, and breathed in the fresh air to his heart's content, feeling very comfortable.

"What does the butler think?" Ning Zezhong stood behind Huang Xu and asked cautiously.

"Yes, Steward Ning, it's really nice here. This place should have been arranged by Steward Ning, right? Huang Xu said.

"Thank you for the housekeeper's compliment, but this place was not arranged by his subordinates, but arranged by the prince himself, so it can be seen how much the prince attaches great importance to the housekeeper." Ning Zezhong replied.

"Arranged by the prince? Then I'll have to find time to go to Lord Xiexie. Huang Xu didn't expect that this East King would personally arrange his own residence.

"Does the butler need to take a break here first?" Ning Zezhong asked Huang Xudao.

"Let's go somewhere else first." Huang Xu also wanted to get familiar with everything in this palace as soon as possible.

"Okay, butler, please first." Ning Zezhong made a way and let Huang Xu go first.

"Hmm." Huang Xu nodded and walked out of the courtyard first.

Ning Zezhong followed behind Huang Xu, and after Huang Xu went out, he stretched out his hand to cover the door, and then, after a few hurried steps, caught up with Huang Xu, and introduced other situations in this palace to Huang Xu as he walked.

After a visit and careful listening to Ning Zezhong's introduction, Huang Xu probably knew some of the situation of the East Palace, it turned out that the setting of all the deacons in the East Palace was similar to that of the Heavenly Palace, and even the configuration of some places exceeded the scale of the Heavenly Palace, for example, the kitchen, whether in terms of hardware or software, was more than one grade higher than the Heavenly Palace.

Huang Xu took this opportunity to pretend to inadvertently ask about the situation of the palace guards and some other sensitive questions, in fact, Huang Xu didn't want to get something out of Ning Zezhong's mouth, he knew that he couldn't ask anything, he knew this very well, but the reason why he asked was because he felt that often the clues of many things were derived from a few innocuous words, so he was not ashamed to ask. But in the end, the result of the question was just as Huang Xu expected, Ning Zezhong said that he usually just managed some miscellaneous matters in the house, and he didn't know about these confidential matters, if Huang Xu was interested, he could go directly to ask the prince.

Damn, I'll really come up with ideas, Huang Xu thought. Therefore, he did not continue to investigate, but just said that he understood very well, and he just asked casually.

"That's all for today." Huang Xu saw that he basically understood everything he needed to know, and it was impossible to know anything new from Ning Zezhong, so he was ready to end today's activities, and he wanted to take a good rest.

"Yes, the housekeeper rests first, if there is anything unclear, you can come to me again, I live in the yard next door to the housekeeper, then I will go out first." After Ning Zezhong finished speaking, he was ready to withdraw.

"By the way, Steward Ning, where do I usually eat?" For Huang Xu, this is the most important thing.

"Alas, look, how did I forget such an important matter, that's right, butler, you only need to arrange the kitchen to send your usual meals directly to you, and you can arrange for your followers to inform the kitchen about this." Ning Zezhong explained.

"Follower?" Huang Xu was puzzled.

"Alas, look at my brain, I forgot to tell you about this" Ning Zezhong patted his head and said apologetically, "That's the case, let me explain to you, with your current status, you are qualified to choose a person you trust among the personnel of the palace as your direct attendant, and you can use this attendant however you want, as long as it does not violate the rules of the palace." Ning Zezhong explained further.

"You mean pick and choose?" Huang Xu thought of Yao Dahong.

"Hehe, of course it's not unconditional, it's conditional arbitrary selection. This person must not currently hold an important ministry in the royal palace, and must have the consent of the head of the deacon's office to which the person belongs, if these two conditions are met, you may be selected. Ning Zezhong returned.

"I see, okay, I'll think about it first." Huang Xu basically knew what was going on.

Huang Xu was going to figure out Yao Dahong's current situation first, and then decide whether he needed to go directly to Dongwang to ask for someone.

"By the way, Steward Ning, is Yao Dahong, who participated in the housekeeper application a few days ago, still in the palace?" Huang Xu asked suddenly.

"Yao Dahong? It's a bit impressive, but I don't know about it, but you can ask Master Zhao, he knows best about the selection of all talents in the palace. Ning Zezhong thought for a moment and gave Huang Xu a move.

"Okay, Xiexie, Steward Ning, you go down and rest first. In the future, the housekeeper of this palace will still need you, and I will cooperate sincerely, and I hope that Steward Ning will help me more in the future. Huang Xu said seemingly sincerely.

"It's all for the prince, the housekeeper doesn't have to be polite, besides, you are still the boss in the rules, you can just tell you if you have something." Ning Zezhong said humbly.

"Then, I've thanked Steward Ning here." Huang Xu said.

"Polite, polite, and, butler, now you are the only housekeeper in the palace, so you can just call me Zezhong in the future." Ning Ze is in the middle of the road.

"Then I'll be respectful and obey my fate, then Zhong." Huang Xu felt that this "tube" was really crushing.

After speaking, Ning Zezhong saluted Huang Xu and retreated, while Huang Xu got up to send him off. When Ning Zezhong withdrew, Huang Xu walked into the office house and closed the door, first sat on a Taishi chair, and then, closed his eyes, and leaned his whole head on the chair of the Taishi chair. At the same time, he also needs to think carefully about what he should do next.

Huang Xu thought about it, and thought that the top priority was to get Yao Dahong to his side first and cultivate him as his confidant, so that it would be of great help to his future actions, after all, such a big single action, completely relying on himself to do it, is still a bit weak, if there is a trustworthy helper, then everything will be much easier.

Thinking of this, Huang Xu didn't feel tired, and immediately got up, ready to go to Zhao Xiaofeng to talk about Yao Dahong.
