Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Li from the Library Pavilion?"
Liu Yuzhang nodded and said: "Yes, it's Li Yuncong, the steward of the library."
Hu Xiaotian picked up the three books, and Liu Yuzhang said again: "Send them to him now. I met him when I went to the Tai Hospital yesterday, and he mentioned this matter."
Hu Xiaotian hummed, and couldn't help but think of the secret passages under the wine cellar. One of them led to the Library Pavilion, and he also found the body of a young eunuch from the Library Pavilion who had been dead for many years. Originally, he wanted to go to the Library Pavilion.
To find out, I just had an excuse and an opportunity this time.
The Library Pavilion is located in the southwest of the Imperial Garden. It is the place where the royal family collects pictures and texts. Fengming Mountain behind it is part of the Royal Garden. The seven-story main building of the Library Pavilion is built on the mountain. It is magnificent and is second only to Piaomiao Mountain in the palace.
's high point.
Hu Xiaotian wrapped these three "Poetry Grand View" with yellow silk and went straight to the Library Pavilion. Although the Siyuan Bureau and the Library Pavilion were both located in the palace, they were nearly three miles away from each other. Hu Xiaotian also passed by many places along the way.
Hu Xiaotian has become more and more familiar with the palace. Because he often goes in and out of the palace, he also knows many guards who are responsible for guarding the palace. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will bring out some fruits and wine to entertain them.
The relationship was very good, so the journey was naturally smooth, and we didn't encounter any obstacles until we reached the courtyard gate of the Library Pavilion.
One is because he doesn’t know the guards at the Library Pavilion. Another reason is that the Library Pavilion is an important place in the palace. It contains many rare and precious books in the world, many of which can be called priceless treasures. The guards here
Naturally, it is stricter. According to the rules here, except for the emperor, anyone entering or leaving the place must undergo a body search.
Hu Xiaotian has become a lot more cautious since his true identity was revealed by Qiqi and Long Xiyue in the wine cellar. Whenever he goes out, he will wrap up his little brother with bandages in three layers to avoid exposing any flaws.
Outside the Library Pavilion, he explained his purpose. The two guards began to search him. Then they untied the yellow silk and looked at the books inside. They made sure there were no doubts before letting him pass.
Eunuch Li, the eunuch in charge of the Library Pavilion, was basking in the sun in the courtyard of the Library Pavilion. He was sleeping on a lounge chair, and a young eunuch squatted beside him and beat his legs.
Hu Xiaotian came to Eunuch Li under the guidance of a young eunuch and said respectfully: "Hu Xiaotian from the Siyuan Bureau came here to see Eunuch Li on the order of Eunuch Liu."
Eunuch Li's white eyebrows moved, but he did not open his eyes immediately. He muttered, "Why did Eunuch Liu ask you to come here?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Of course I will return the book."
Eunuch Li hummed, and his eyes finally opened a little. He saw Hu Xiaotian holding a yellow silk package in one hand. Judging from the shape, it should be a book wrapped in it. The other hand was also carrying a jar of wine, and his eyes suddenly changed.
It became brighter and finally fell on Hu Xiaotian's face.
Hu Xiaotian's smile is as warm as spring, and his appearance is very sunny and can easily leave a good impression on others.
Eunuch Li waved his hand, motioning the little eunuch who was beating his legs to stand aside, and then slowly stood up from the recliner.
Hu Xiaotian sent the book over first, and Eunuch Li took it and handed it to the little eunuch without even looking at it. He pointed at the jar of wine in Hu Xiaotian's hand and said, "This is..."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Liu specially sent me to bring you the fine wine, so that you can have a good taste."
Eunuch Li suddenly became beaming. He was about to cross the wine jar and asked, "What kind of wine?"
"Yutangchun that has been stored in the cellar for fifty years!" The wine cellar not only has home-brewed fruit wine, but also has an area dedicated to collecting some aged wines. Hu Xiaotian found out that Eunuch Li was addicted to alcohol, so he specially followed his preference.
As for sending wine, it has nothing to do with Liu Yuzhang. It is entirely his own intention.
Eunuch Li laughed and handed the jar of wine to the little eunuch. Before the little eunuch could put down the yellow silk package, his hand slipped and the jar of wine fell straight to the ground.
Hu Xiaotian secretly cried out that it was a pity. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he saw Eunuch Li's right foot stretched out like lightning, firmly placed under the wine jar. The instep of his foot sank down and then he lifted it up. The wine jar flew up again. His right hand was steady.
Steady holding the wine jar, he raised his left hand and gave the little eunuch a loud slap in the face, saying angrily: "Trash, you can't even do such a small thing!"
The little eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a thud, kowtowed and said: "The little one deserves to die, the little one deserves to die."
Hu Xiaotian was shocked and dumbfounded. The reason why he was surprised was not because of the old eunuch's thunderous anger, but because Eunuch Li took action so quickly that it could be described as being as graceful as a startled dragon. It seemed that the old eunuch who was in his twilight years was actually a
A master of martial arts, there is indeed a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Dakang Palace.
Eunuch Li shook his head and turned to Hu Xiaotian with a smile on his face: "I made you laugh."
Hu Xiaotian came here just to get acquainted with Eunuch Li. It seemed that it would not be easy to get into the library. When he was about to say goodbye, an old acquaintance showed up. It turned out to be the young man from the Royal Horse Prison.
Supervisor Fan Zongxi came over with a food box. He and Eunuch Li were related, and Eunuch Li was his uncle. Of course, few people knew about this relationship.
Fan Zongxi was also quite surprised to see Hu Xiaotian here. If Fan Zongxi had not appeared, Hu Xiaotian would have left at this time. It was already lunch time. Fan Zongxi came here just to talk to his uncle over wine. Seeing that Hu Xiaotian was leaving, he
Invite Hu Xiaotian to stay for dinner together.
Hu Xiaotian originally stayed here intentionally and wanted to get close to Li Yuncong, but when he thought about it, he and she were just acquainted for the first time, and they might have secret things to talk about. It would be inconvenient for him to be there. He smiled and said:
"I'm going back in a hurry and there's still things to do."
Fan Zongxi heard that he had something to do and had to give up. Li Eunuch said: "Moustache, if you want to read any books in the future, just come to my place." He just said it casually, but he didn't know that he gave Hu Xiaotian a high-sounding excuse. Hu Xiaotian laughed and said
: "Thank you Eunuch Li for your kindness. I really want to find some books to read. I am usually bored at night and can pass the time."
Eunuch Li nodded when he heard what he said: "What book do you want to read?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Whatever."
Hearing such an answer, Eunuch Li couldn't help laughing, and Fan Zongxi couldn't help laughing. Eunuch Li said to the little eunuch standing aside: "Yuanfu, take him over and pick out a few books that he likes and read them."
Hu Xiaotian was secretly happy. He thought he would have no chance to enter the library this time, but he didn't expect that Eunuch Li would reciprocate his kindness and actually offered to get some books for him to read.
Yuan Fu was the little eunuch who beat Eunuch Li's leg just now. Hu Xiaotian followed Yuan Fu into the library pavilion. The library pavilion is actually divided into three parts. The first floor is where the eunuchs of the library pavilion classify and maintain books. The second and third floors are
In the borrowing area, the library area is located on the fourth floor. The place Hu Xiaotian can go to is within the third floor, and there is no chance to enter further up.
Because it was lunch time, most of the eunuchs stopped what they were doing and went to eat. There were only a few eunuchs on duty in the borrowing area. Yuan Fu briefly introduced Hu Xiaotian, put down the books at the same time, and said with a smile: "
What book does Eunuch Hu want to read?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I want to know some history since the founding of Dakang."
Yuan Fu said: "Dakang Tongjian is the best."
Hu Xiaotian waited for him to say these words and said with a smile: "Then let's borrow some Dakang Tongjian and read it."
Yuan Fu took Hu Xiaotian to the third floor of the Library Pavilion. Hu Xiaotian came to the place where Dakang Tongjian was displayed, and silently recalled the scene of observing the Library Pavilion from the small hole that day. The location of the small hole should not be far from here.
Yuan Fu didn't know that Hu Xiaotian had another ulterior motive, so he found Dakang Tongjian and pointed it out to Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian didn't take much, but only took one copy. This was to leave a memory and find an excuse for him to come to the library next time. He roughly
He observed the environment and did not stay here too long to avoid others suspecting his motives. He took the book and left immediately.
The Jinchuang medicine and Moyu Shengji ointment left by Bao Bao were extremely effective. Although Hu Xiaotian didn't know the ingredients of the medicine, most of his wounds had healed in just one day. This kind of healing speed was impossible to use.
To explain it with the medical theories he mastered. When he first came to this era, he once thought that medicine here was still in its infancy. Now it seems that this sentence only applies to surgery. With his understanding of contemporary medicine,
As he deepened his understanding, he discovered that the concept and development direction of medicine here were completely different from his previous understanding.
Maybe it was because he had been a doctor in his previous life, but Hu Xiaotian didn’t have much interest in medicine. He rarely took the initiative to show off his medical skills unless necessary. Even if he never practiced medicine or operated on people for the rest of his life, he didn’t feel itchy in his heart. To put it bluntly,
Lack of motivation. How can a person have the desire to improve himself if he loses motivation?
Comparatively speaking, Hu Xiaotian is more interested in martial arts. Firstly, it is for self-defense. Another more important reason is that it was exposed that he pretended to be a eunuch and sneaked into the palace without cleansing himself. Although Quan De'an
He was taught the so-called raising yin and shrinking yang, but Hu Xiaotian practiced again and again, but he always stalled in this aspect. It was not because he lacked the ability to comprehend martial arts. Xuan Ming Yin Wind Claw and Golden Spider Eight Steps are now his
It has been practiced well.
As for the inner strength and mental methods that Quan De'an taught him, Hu Xiaotian also practices them every day, and the progress is not ideal. After practicing for so long, he has not even succeeded in gathering energy at the most advanced stage mentioned by Quan De'an. Hu Xiaotian's personal thoughts on this
The explanation is physiological decision. Quan De'an is a eunuch, and eunuchs are of course different from normal people, so some martial arts eunuchs can practice, but he cannot. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
