Chapter 123 [Cutting the Weeds and Roots] (Part 2)
Hu Xiaotian said: "Hehe is just doing that kind of thing. I am definitely an intact beautiful boy. The problem must be with your technique. You have never practiced it yourself, so how can you know whether this technique is effective?"
, and you don’t understand, how can you guide me?”
Quan De'an sneered: "It sounds like you are mocking the Zajia family."
"I don't dare. I'm just discussing the matter."
Quan De'an said: "Okay! Okay! Okay! The Za family will teach you a set of Xuan Ming Yin Wind Claw!"
When Hu Xiaotian heard the name of this claw technique, he felt a bit sinister. He stuck out his tongue and said, "It sounds very cool."
Quan De'an snorted coldly and said: "Look carefully, this claw technique only has seven moves, but it contains seven, seven and forty-nine changes." He had already started practicing while he was speaking.
Although the sun was shining high and the autumn wind kept bringing the fragrance of osmanthus, the courtyard seemed to be filled with gloomy winds. On the ground were six corpses whose blood was still cold. There was a strong smell of blood in the courtyard. General Quan De'an
Xuanming Yinfengclaw practiced it from beginning to end.
Hu Xiaotian watched intently. This was the first time he formally learned martial arts moves. The reason why he concentrated so much was not to look at the six corpses on the ground in horrible conditions. Of course, there was also an element of grudge against Quan De'an. What do you think?
If you don’t have any talent, I’ll practice and show you who’s the problem is.
What made Quan De'an stunned was that after playing Xuan Ming Yin Wind Claw once, Hu Xiaotian could already follow the gourd's pattern, and the gestures were really real. When he hit it a second time, this guy actually memorized the move.
Although Quan De'an didn't say anything, he already acquiesced in his heart that Hu Xiaotian's talent must be fine. There should be something wrong with the technique of raising yin and shrinking yang that he taught him. Although this kid is cunning.
But there is a saying that is right. If you have never practiced it yourself, how do you know that this technique is effective?
Hu Xiaotian originally wanted to learn more from Quan De'an, but Quan De'an had no interest in teaching him martial arts anymore. He only said that he was biting off more than he could chew and urged him to go back early. Don't delay his return to the palace.
Seeing that it was getting late, Hu Xiaotian had no choice but to give up. Before leaving, he glanced at He Yuexi's body. He Yuexi should not dare to deceive him. The young eunuch Wang Desheng set a trap with the intention of murdering him. The reason should be that he
He took advantage of his position, took people's money, and killed people. To say that he didn't want to steal his job. But since Wang Desheng was able to pay for his murder today, if he saw that he was intact, he would definitely have evil thoughts again. Look,
You must attack this person first.
After Hu Xiaotian went to the market to meet the two young eunuchs, he said nothing about what happened today. On the way back to the palace, he had secretly made up his mind to eradicate Wang Desheng before he attacked him.
Back to the Siyuan Bureau. First, I went back to my room, took a shower, and changed my clothes. Although the previous clothes were not stained with obvious blood stains, it is still better to be careful. I just changed my clothes here.
There was a knock on the door outside, but it was Shi Xuedong who came to look for him.
Hu Xiaotian opened the door and let Shi Xuedong in. Shi Xuedong said: "Congratulations, good brother, congratulations, good brother!"
Hu Xiaotian knew that this guy had never done anything upright. While arranging his clothes, he said, "What's so exciting about this?"
Shi Xuedong said: "There is a beautiful palace maid looking for you outside!"
Hu Xiaotian thought that this guy was lying to him, so he said: "Brother, don't you have a grudge against me because I didn't take you out of the palace, so you are trying to tease me in different ways?"
Shi Xuedong said: "The conscience of heaven and earth..." Before he finished speaking, he heard a soft and sweet voice coming from outside: "Is Eunuch Hu here?"
Shi Xuedong heard this soft voice as if he had drunk two ounces of wine in an instant, and said excitedly: "I told you I didn't lie to you. She is really beautiful. I have been in the palace for so long, and I have never seen such a beautiful one."
Maid, you can doubt my words, but you must never doubt my aesthetic sense."
Seeing this guy's anxious look, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh a little: "Brother Dong, have you cut it clean?"
When Shi Xuedong heard what he said, he was like a deflated rubber ball: "Clean, cleaner than his mother's women, but..." This guy seemed to have something to hide, and hesitated to speak.
Hu Xiaotian didn't pay too much attention to him, and walked slowly to the door. He saw a graceful palace maid in a red dress standing in the courtyard. Although she was not as beautiful as Shi Xuedong described, she could still be regarded as beautiful.
A first-class beauty with fair complexion and a pair of big, watery eyes. When she saw Hu Xiaotian coming out, she instantly narrowed her eyes into crescent moons and smiled peacefully: "Hello, Eunuch Hu, my name is Baobao. I usually serve Lin at Lingyu Palace.
Noble concubine."
Hu Xiaotian has been in the palace for many days, and he has a general understanding of the situation in the palace. This Concubine Lin is called Lin Wan, and she is one of the emperor's favorite concubines. Hu Xiaotian's impression of Concubine Lin after coming to Siyuan Bureau
It started to become more profound, mainly because Lin Guifei was quite picky. She would always have some strange thoughts on weekdays. The imperial concubine moved her mouth, the eunuch broke his leg when she ran away, and Hu Xiaotian was troubled a lot because of her mouth. But on weekdays, she always had some strange ideas.
It was the eunuch who came to deliver the message. This was the first time that the personal palace maid came to the Siyuan Bureau.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "I wonder what Sister Bao Bao's orders are?" Although he was purchased by the Siyuan Bureau, Bao Bao was Concubine Lin's personal maid. There was an unwritten rule in the palace, regarding the status of maids and eunuchs and the duties they served.
The master has a direct relationship, and the status of the eunuchs around the emperor must be transcendent. In addition, the status of the slaves around whom the emperor favors will naturally increase.
Bao Bao giggled and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that the imperial concubine suddenly wanted to eat bayberries, so she sent me over to have a look."
When Hu Xiaotian heard this, he was basically posing a problem for himself. The bayberries are most abundant in June and July, and it is already September. Kangdu is located in the north of the Yangtze River, and it is not suitable to store those things. How can you find them? This imperial concubine also takes it for granted.
Character. He said with a smile: "The season for fruiting bayberries has passed. In fact, there are many delicious fruits and vegetables in this season. Why don't I take my sister to go inside and have a look."
Bao Bao said: "I also know that this request may be difficult for Eunuch Hu. It's just that the imperial concubine has been feeling unwell for the past two days and has lost her appetite. She has hardly eaten anything since yesterday. It took a lot of effort to think of something.
As for the food, I, a servant, have to come over and try it." A look of disappointment appeared on her pretty face.
At this time, Shi Xuedong came up and said: "Today, there was a batch of black oak fruits from Western Xinjiang that were sent as tribute to the imperial court. They are also very rare, and the taste is similar to bayberry. Eunuch Hu, why don't you take Miss Baobao to have a look."
Hu Xiaotian glared at this guy, he was really talkative. At first he heard that he meant to be diligent, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that there was a big problem. First of all, the tribute from Xijiang was supposed to be tasted by the emperor first. Siyuan
The bureau has not yet had time to send it to the emperor. Even if Lin Guifei is favored, there must be a sequence. Moreover, Shi Xuedong said that the taste is similar to bayberry, so this person has obviously eaten it secretly.
In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Siyuan Bureau. If the emperor has never eaten something, it is okay if the little eunuch is greedy and sneaks a few pills in advance. But once it is revealed, it will be a big trouble. In the lightest case, you will be punished, and in the worst case, you will be punished.
A crime of disrespect.
Shi Xuedong also realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly lowered his head.
Bao Bao smiled and said: "This father-in-law must have eaten it."
Shi Xuedong was shocked and said hurriedly: "How dare you, little one? They just look alike."
Bao Bao said reluctantly: "I just heard you say it tastes very similar."
Shi Xuedong wished he could slap himself in the mouth for talking too much.
Hu Xiaotian said coldly: "When will it be your turn to speak here? Get out of here!"
Shi Xuedong knew that Hu Xiaotian was helping him to rescue him, so he quickly retreated in despair.
Bao Bao was obviously aroused by the black oak fruit, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Hu, why don't you take me to see it?"
At this point, it was not convenient for Hu Xiaotian to refuse. He nodded and said, "I said before that I would take my sister to choose."
Although the Siyuan Bureau is responsible for the purchase and storage of fruits and vegetables, it is not responsible for distributing the fruits and vegetables to various parts of the palace. The usual procedure is that the Shangshan Supervisor issues an order to them, they prepare it here, and then send it to the Shangshan Supervisor in the afternoon.
, the specific cleaning and distribution are all carried out by Shangshan Supervisor.
The land of Dakang is rich in resources. Almost every day, fruits and vegetables are sent as tributes from various places. After receiving the tributes, the Siyuan Bureau will make statistics and then send the list to the Shangshan Supervisor to determine what can be given to the emperor and what cannot be eaten. Finally, the imperial dining room will prepare it.
It was decided that many tributes could not be delivered to the emperor at all, and many of them simply spoiled in the warehouse of the Siyuan Bureau. It has long been an open secret that the little eunuch secretly ate the tributes. Anyway, if some things are rotten, they should be thrown away.
, the waste in the palace is also quite shocking.
In order to store these fruit and vegetable tributes, a cellar was specially dug in the Siyuan Bureau. Even so, waste could not be completely eliminated. The cellar was expanded several times. Later, an eunuch of the Siyuan Bureau came up with an idea and set up a cellar in the Siyuan Bureau.
A small winery uses the excess tribute fruits to ferment and make wine. Therefore, there are more wine cellars under the Siyuan Bureau to store fruit wine. Now the underground of the Siyuan Bureau is almost empty.
The cellar where fruits and vegetables are usually stored is guarded by someone specially, because almost every day something is sent to the imperial kitchen. As for the wine cellar, no one cares about it. Although the small winery continues to make wine, the fruit wine it can produce does not seem to be very popular in the palace.
Welcome, the emperor just accidentally remembered and gave these sealed fruit wines to the ministers as gifts.
Hu Xiaotian took Bao Bao to the vegetable and fruit basement. There were several baskets of black tangerine fruits that came in this time. The eunuch in charge of the warehouse selected the best basket and put the rest aside. After staying in the warehouse for a long time,
Then we understand the taste of the emperor and the concubines in the harem. This kind of black mango fruit tastes too sour and astringent, so no one cares about it. Even if someone wants to eat it by chance, it is just for the sake of freshness.
I already have twenty-five monthly passes. After self-stimulation, I reached thirty. Today is the third update. Wow! Why is Octopus so miserable? It’s like a big sale. It’s just five monthly passes. I don’t believe that I can’t get enough today...
