005 The mysterious man on the second floor
"That's it!"
An hour later, Su Chen put down the broom and feather duster in his hand.
The library building is very large, but because it is cleaned every day, there is not much dust, and it is relatively easy to do.
By the time we had done that, it was almost noon.
At this time, Su Chen heard a bell outside.
It is a copper bell placed at the gate of the garden, which is used as a knock on the door, and non-waiters in the Kwai Garden, who come and go here, need to be reported, and they must not trespass.
Su Chen came in before, because he was led by the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Department, so he was unimpeded.
"It's noon, and it's supposed to be a room to deliver food."
Su Chen hurriedly got up and went out, he was busy all morning, and he was indeed hungry.
Opening the gate of the garden, the person who delivered the meal was a short eunuch.
After seeing Su Chen, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he asked, "New here?" ”
Su Chen nodded.
The man's eyes immediately showed a look of pity, and he said, "Judging by your appearance, you should have just entered the palace, right?" looks quite handsome, but was actually assigned to such a deserted place, and didn't give a gift, right? ”
"I can't live anymore before I go to the palace on an errand, where do I get the money to give gifts."
Su Chen shook his head and didn't say anything.
The eunuch didn't sneer, just nodded and comforted: "It's okay, although this Kwai Yuan is a little deserted, at least the work is easy." After a few years, you save some money and dredge up the relationship, maybe there will be a chance to transfer away. The little Anzi before you, didn't he already go to the back room as an errand boy, and he was rich in oil and water......
He chattered, and through conversation, Su Chen knew that he was called a small car, and he was on an errand in the room, and he was specifically responsible for delivering meals in this area.
As he spoke, the cart took a food box out of the cart and handed it over.
This is the meal of Kwai Court today.
Su Chen opened it and took a look, two bowls of rice, two plates of green vegetables, and a few oily seeds.
The food of the people in the palace is not as good as imagined, most of the time it is barely wrapping the stomach, only one meal of meat in three days, and there will be additional meals during the New Year's festival or the grace of the nobles.
However, this is already the treatment that many people dream of.
"A meal for two, is this Kwai Yuan a total of two people, me and Gonggong Li?"
Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.
I heard Gonggong Li say that there are few people in Kwai Yuan, but I didn't expect that there are so few.
That's fine.
The fewer people you have, the safer you are.
In the food box, in addition to the standard working meal, Su Chen also saw a pot of wine.
"This is for Gonggong Li, he is not in good health, and he has to drink such a pot of special medicinal wine every day."
Perhaps seeing his doubts, the little car explained.
At the same time, he didn't forget to squeeze his eyes, and whispered: "If you want to have money, you can also add food, chicken, duck and fish, medicinal food and wine, as long as you have money, I can send you ......"
Good guy, it turns out that the guy also watches people put down dishes.
"If I had money, I wouldn't be distributed here. Let's talk about it when I have money in the future......"
Su Chen smiled bitterly and was about to leave with the food box.
At this time, I saw that the small cart took out another larger food box from the cart, which looked much more delicate and gorgeous, and it was obviously not standard in the room.
It's filled with fine sake.
"And this, sent by the Shang Shan Supervisor, you can bring it back with you."
Shang Shan Jian ?
This is for the royal nobles, even if they have money, the people dare not touch it, who is this for?
"Don't ask, you take it back, and Grandpa Li will explain."
After the little cart finished speaking, he didn't stop, pushed the small cart, and continued to deliver food.
Su Chen returned to the residence with two food boxes in confusion, and first sent Gonggong Li's food, the old eunuch took out the wine jug inside, and after unscrewing it, a smell of wine mixed with medicinal smell permeated the air.
He took a sip first, his pale face seemed to be much more rosy, and his cough was less frequent.
Immediately, he pointed to another delicate food box and said, "Send this to the hanging basket at the entrance of the second floor of the library building, and put it down, understand?" ”
It turned out that the food in it was to be delivered to the second floor.
Could it be that there are other people on the second floor of this library?
I don't know what kind of character it is, I can eat the food made by the Shangshan supervisor, and I think my status is not low.
Su Chen didn't ask around.
No matter what the identity of the other party is, it has nothing to do with him, for the sake of safety, it is best not to have too much to do with these big names for the time being.
With a promise, Su Chen quickly sent the food to the library building.
Then I didn't look at it much.
He turned around and closed the door, returned to his room, finished his meal, and finally relaxed.
"Let's try to practice this Taizu Long Fist!"
Because it is the basic martial arts for beginners, this Taizu Long Fist is not complicated.
There are only seven or eight simple movements.
For those who are just getting started, it is not difficult to practice, and after Su Chen is familiar with it a few times, he will already be able to get started.
Zama, cross-waisted, punching, kicking......
After a set of movements, fine beads of sweat appeared on Su Chen's forehead, the muscles and bones of his whole body were mobilized, and the blood around his body surged, like a warm current......
……
In this way, Su Chen lived in Kwai Yuan.
I gradually got used to life here.
Compared to the bustle of other courts, this place is indeed very deserted.
Because of his poor health, Gonggong Li spent most of his time recuperating in his room, occasionally going out to bask in the sun in the yard and check the situation in the library.
On weekdays, there is not even anyone to talk to.
However, Su Chen didn't care about these either.
It's good to be alone, and sometimes it's good.
Cleaning the library is an easy task, and it only takes an hour a day to get it done.
The rest of the time, he was free to do so.
Get up every morning, practice Taizu Changquan, strengthen your body, and then read in the library building.
What piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, miscellaneous travelogues, he will not refuse.
Life is quite fulfilling.
Gonggong Li rarely asks about his affairs, as long as he does his job well, he doesn't care what he does at other times.
It's just that when he found out that Su Chen was cultivating Taizu Long Fist, he was a little surprised.
Su Chen didn't hide it either.
Kwai Yuan is just such two people, what they do, it is impossible to hide it from each other.
"I have been weak since I was a child, so I want to practice boxing, strengthen my body, and do things better to serve my father-in-law......"
This is the explanation given by Su Chen.
After listening to this, Gonggong Li just smiled noncommittally and didn't say anything.
The Great Chu court did not prohibit martial arts, and there were even special skilled eunuchs.
Besides, this Taizu Changquan is not a killing martial art, it is just a basic martial art, and it doesn't matter if you practice it.
The mysterious person on the second floor of the library building, Su Chen had never seen it.
It's just that meals are delivered every day as usual.
Wait until dusk to collect the lunch box.
Most of the time, the person will eat something, but the amount of food is very small, four or five dishes, many of which are not moved with chopsticks, and there will be a lot left.
Su Chen didn't dislike it.
With the cultivation of Taizu Changquan, his appetite became larger and larger, and the energy consumed every day was amazing, and he would definitely be malnourished if he only relied on those white rice and vegetables.
And he has just entered the palace now, and he has no money to eat.
If it goes on like this, let alone immortality, sooner or later malnutrition will drag the body down.
What's wrong with eating some leftovers?
In order to live better, don't stumble.
