002 Kwai Court Library
This night, Su Chen barely fell asleep.
One is because he has just crossed over and is not used to it, and the other is because he is worried that someone will discover his secret.
When a man sleeps, there are some parts of the body that will have some natural reactions.
If you wake up in the morning and be seen, the consequences are unimaginable.
"Get up, gather in front of the gate of the Department of Internal Affairs, and wait for the dispatch!"
The voice of the foreman eunuch came from outside the door.
Soon, the door opened, and Su Chen followed the other little eunuchs who had just finished their training, and came to the gate with small steps.
This group of new eunuchs entered the palace in large numbers.
A rough look at it shows that there are hundreds of people.
I heard that some time ago, there was an outbreak of epidemic among the servants in the palace, and many people died, so they urgently needed to be replenished.
"Hurry up, grind, delay the hour, watch your heads!"
At this time, there was a shouting from the back of the team.
Su Chen noticed that the little eunuch beside him seemed to be a little uncomfortable, his movements were slow and stiff when he walked, and he was holding his lower abdomen while walking, looking a little painful.
Purification is a very painful thing, because in ancient times, the conditions were poor, and many times there were some hidden diseases, such as filth and contamination, which made it difficult for the wound to heal.
The little eunuch had obviously just been cleansed, and his wounds were not yet completely healed.
It was driven to the shelves like this.
"If you are not forced to a dead end, who is willing to sell their children and grandchildren to do this errand, they are all hard-working people......"
Su Chen sighed.
He helped the little eunuch by the hand.
He whispered: "Be careful, the wound is broken, and it is going to die." ”
When the little eunuch heard this, he turned his head to look at him, his face showed gratitude, nodded his head, and said thank you.
Su Chen didn't care.
It's just a matter of a little effort.
Soon, the newcomers had gathered in front of the Home Affairs Department.
A big eunuch wearing a blue robe and a round collar stepped forward to speak.
The content is probably to emphasize some rules in the palace, clichés, after the lecture, according to the roster, these newcomers are assigned to serve in various departments of the palace.
For the eunuchs, this was almost the moment that would determine the fate of the future.
The palace is very large, with 12 prisons, 4 divisions, and 8 bureaus, a total of 24 yamen.
Some of them have idle jobs and rich oil and water, such as the Silver Workers Bureau, the Shangshan Supervisor, and so on.
Some have the opportunity to get close to the royal nobles and are expected to be promoted, such as the metropolitan governor who specially follows the emperor to guide the Qing Dao, the palace attendants, the imperial study room companions, and the concubines and eunuchs in the respectful room.
There are also yamen who are hard and lowly, not to mention hard work, and basically have no oil and water, and there is no room for promotion.
For example, the Huanyi Bureau, the Straight Hall Supervisor, etc.
The promotion path of the eunuch is relatively fixed, and the mobility of each department is very small, and it is basically assigned to where, if there is no accident, it will always be fixed in the corresponding post until old age and death.
If you are unlucky and are assigned to an unpopular place, then this life is basically over.
Therefore, many people began to show their magical powers before they were assigned.
Spend money on gifts, ask for relatives by trusting relationships, and call godfathers grandfathers......
Just for a smooth future, I hope to be able to gain a firm foothold in this court and live a more comfortable life.
Su Chen had a completely different idea from the others.
He doesn't care about any future promotion, it's best to stay away from those so-called nobles.
After all, if you are involved in the royal family, you may be in unlimited scenery for a while, but if you are unlucky and are dumped in the palace struggle, you may also be implicated by the master, and you will be punished in the cold palace at the least, and you will lose your life at the worst.
As for what kind of oil and water, Su Chen doesn't value it very much.
I now have the ability to live forever, as long as I live and slowly accumulate strength, I can have anything I want in the future, and I don't need to care about the yellow and white things in front of me.
Glory and wealth, in the face of immortality, are all fleeting.
"It's better to give me a cold job, as long as it's not too hard."
Su Chen thought so in his heart.
Soon, the foreman eunuch read his name.
"Su Chen, you will be assigned to the Kwai Yuan Library Building, responsible for the daily sprinkling and cleaning work......
The others around him, after hearing this place, all shook their heads slightly, casting pity at him.
As we all know, the Great Chu Dynasty established the country by force, so it emphasized military force and neglected literature.
The status of domestic scholars is not high.
Inside the palace, although there are also four collections of plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, and kwai gardens, which collect book collections, few people actually go to see them.
If the royal nobles want to read books, most of them directly order their slaves and maids to come and select and use them.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the library building is a warehouse for storing books, and the unpopular among the unpopular has no future than the caretaker of the sundries warehouse.
There are no nobles, and there is no oil and water.
Basically, to go is to guard a pile of books until old age and death.
Who told this kid not to give gifts, and it didn't matter?
Assigned to Kwai Yuan is also deserved.
"Hehe, for others, this Kwai Yuan Library may be a promising errand, but for me, it may be a good place!"
Su Chen secretly rejoiced in his heart.
He would like to find a place with few people to nest in, preferably the kind that no one cares about, so that it is convenient for him to develop slowly.
Of course, on the surface, he didn't show anything out of the ordinary.
Even in order not to arouse suspicion, he pretended to sigh in frustration.
"Brother, don't be discouraged. Although the Kwai Garden is a little deserted, it is not a difficult place, and if you stay up, maybe there will be opportunities in the future. ”
At this time, the little eunuch next to him spoke and comforted in a low voice.
"I'm fine."
Su Chen glanced at him with a smile, and then followed a foreman eunuch and set off for Kwai Yuan.
I have to say.
The palace is really big.
Su Chen came out of the Department of Internal Affairs all the way, turned around, walked for half an hour, passed through several luxurious palaces, and then came to the place where Kwai Yuan was.
This Kwai Garden is located in the southwest corner of the inner palace of the imperial city, close to the city wall.
It is a large garden that is no less large than a regular palace, and it is named after a noble man who liked sunflowers in the early years and planted sunflowers in the courtyard.
However, due to neglect in recent years, a lot of them have died, and only a part of the sparse Lala remains.
The largest building in the garden is an attic made of mahogany.
It is divided into two layers, carved beams and painted buildings, antique.
It looks like it's a bit old.
In addition to this library, there was also a row of low small rooms in the courtyard, including houses and latrines, which were the residence of the eunuchs on duty.
"This is where you will do things from now on. Although this Kwai Yuan is deserted, after all, it is also a guard of the royal collection, and you kid must be careful in doing things in the future, otherwise if there is a mistake, you will also lose your head! ”
The foreman eunuch instructed lightly.
A little eunuch who is destined to have no future is not worth saying anything more from him.
With a wave of his hand, he asked Su Chen to go in and report to the chief eunuch of Kwai Yuan.
"This place, it looks pretty good. It is secluded and deserted, and there are not many people coming on weekdays, so you can try to stay away from the palace struggle. I just don't know what kind of person this Kwai Yuan is in charge, but I hope it's easier to get along with......"
Thinking about it, Su Chen got up and entered.
It was time on duty, and the master should be in the study, so he came to the front of the building and gently pushed open the vermilion door......
