Chapter 329 Master
Xu Yi said coldly, "Old Xing, do what you should do, what are you talking about! I, the bureaucrat of the Royal Court of Vietnam, will depend on your face. Do you want Xu to report the situation to the Lord of the Ministry?"
Now that he has read the book, he knows the mainstream attitude of the current official circles towards nobles. When he picked it up, he immediately made Deputy Director Xing's old face turn green with pain.
The man surnamed Xing and Marquis Wucheng on the left and right were wearing the same pair of trousers. There was no use in saying nice things. If someone offended them, they would be offended.
Deputy Chief Xing was furious. He had no intention of arranging errands for Xu Yi, but immediately threw out the worst errand.
……………………
The surface of the lake is like a mirror, with weeping willows standing still. In the reflection of the shining sun, the pink walls are like mountains and the black tiles are like the sea.
In this remote palace in the northwest corner of the imperial city, Xu Yi walked for more than half an hour and finally came to the door of a side palace.
The gilded words "Jingshi Room" on the side hall were shining in the golden sunlight, which made Xu Yi's brain hurt and his heart felt extremely sick.
It turned out that the work unit he was assigned to was the Jingshi Room.
The most well-known function of the Jingshifang is the mass production of eunuchs. In addition to the Jingtongjing, there are also departments such as the Palace Cleaning Bureau, the Clothing Bureau, and the Jingye Division.
The final unit assigned by Xu Yi was Jingyesi.
Jingye Si, as the name suggests, is to clean up the dirty things at night. Those who are dirty at night will be drowned in feces!
To put it bluntly, it is a unit for emptying toilets and collecting night fragrance.
Of course, Xu Yi was the deputy of ten households and a member of the security department. Even if he was squeezed out again, he would not do this job.
His mission was to lead a team to guard Jingyesi, and there was not a single soldier under his command.
Originally, when Xu Yi heard about this appointment, he wanted to punch Deputy Chief Xing in the face with his fist, but then he thought, now that he has come, he will make peace with it.
How can everything go as planned? The key to a gentleman seeking change and seeking common ground lies in his own ability.
Comfort yourself and go to work safely.
Although Jingyesi has the title of "Si", he is actually not a top-notch person. The person in charge is an old man with a hunchback, who calls himself Guanshi Wu, and he is very kind.
After Xu Yi showed off his jade ring, Manager Wu became more polite and summoned the thirty or forty servants of Jingyesi to come and see him.
Although Xu Yi has a lonely and angry temperament, he is understanding of people, aware of things happening, and understands the importance of making friends with local snakes when first arriving in a precious place.
At that moment, he took out the gold tickets and pressed the heads. Ten gold coins were given to each person. In an instant, hundreds of gold coins were scattered.
The servants were so happy that they smiled happily and flattered them constantly.
After the servants dispersed, Xu Yi took a photo of a thousand gold ticket for Manager Wu and said, "Xu is assigned here, please take care of Manager Wu."
Manager Wu is an old man in the palace, honest and good-natured, otherwise he wouldn't have been hanging around for decades to get into Jingyesi.
He had never received a gift from others, let alone a gift of such an amount. He was so excited that he was shaking all over. It took him a long time to calm down. He clutched the gold ticket tightly and said tremblingly. "The official is a noble man, so he must have offended a villain.
He was assigned to Jingyesi. In fact, in the old man's opinion, this matter is not good or bad. Jingyesi looks at it as despicable, but it is for the handyman. For the guard work, it is actually light. Who do you think?
It’s okay if there are too many, but will you come and steal night scented trees, dung brushes and other sundries?”
"As for the officials' mistakes and errors, they are all reported by the old man. The old man takes on some responsibilities and helps the officials to cover up a few things. When the officials have time, they will come here to show their faces and show their faces. If they have nothing to do, they can find a secluded place.
Rest. It’s just that the palace walls are tight and there is a rest every five days. If the officials want to leave the palace, they have to wait for five days. After that, the officials can choose the opportunity to come in. It doesn’t matter if they don’t come. This old man still has some tolerance."
Manager Wu was originally a timid person, but Qianjin now gave birth to the courage of an ant as well as a Huanglong.
Xu Yi was overjoyed. This little money was just a drop in the bucket for him. To achieve such results was beyond expectations.
At that moment, Manager Wu called the servants and ordered the upper room of the side hall to be vacated so that it could be laid out for the officials to stay. He pointed to the outer palace wall and said, "There is nothing to do on the left and right, and the officials can walk on the left and right.
Although it is within the confines of the palace, it is a remote place, and the people who live there are all low-class people. Officials do not leave the palace walls or enter the forbidden areas, but they can wander around here at will. Don't think that this is a remote place, but it is also an imperial city after all.
The pavilions, pavilions, flat lakes and green willows are all beautiful scenery that is difficult to see outside."
Xu Yi thanked him with clasped fists and came towards the outsider.
Manager Wu is right, the scenery in the palace city is excellent.
The flat lake is dotted with the reflection of the bright sun, and ten miles of green willows are directly connected to the blue sky. Between the pink walls and black tiles, surrounded by mountains and water, walking along the way is like walking in a painting.
After chanting and admiring for a while, the sound of reading aloud suddenly came to my ears. It was the most widely circulated "Kaishan Fist Technique" in the world, the most common exercise for beginners in the training period.
Following the sound of reciting, I came to a courtyard planted with several pear blossoms. The white pear blossoms covered half of the ground.
Boys in 20 or 30 crotch clothes were sitting neatly in the courtyard, following a tall, thin man with gray beard and white hair, reciting boxing techniques.
"Master Zhou?"
Xu Yi suppressed his excitement and tried to scream.
The old man with gray hair turned his head and saw Xu Yi. He dropped the book in his hand with a click and stared at Xu Yi blankly.
"What a master!"
Xu Yi quickly stepped forward and hugged him.
It turned out that this old man with white beard and hair was the master who Xu Yi first met at the martial arts hall in Furong Town.
Xu Yi's basic knowledge of martial arts and even the acquisition of "Ba Li Jue" all came from this master.
Later, Master Zhou was transferred to a prefecture and county and summoned Xu Yi. If there was a fate, he would meet again in the prefecture and county.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yi was transferred to Shenjing and unexpectedly met here.
When old friends met, Master Zhou couldn't care less about the children. Regardless of Xu Yi's persuasion, he sent the children out of school, set up tea sets under the pear tree, cooked fragrant tea, and talked about the reasons for their separation.
It turns out that Master Zhou was transferred here because of his decades of teaching experience.
Fifteen years ago, Master Zhou taught a disciple surnamed Chen. This disciple surnamed Chen was quite talented and had extraordinary achievements in martial arts. He reached the middle stage of Qihai in more than ten years, successfully passed the Jinshi examination, and became an official in the ban.
It happened that there was a lack of professors in the palace who could teach the introductory knowledge of martial arts to boys, eunuchs, and eunuchs. The disciple named Chen thought of Master Zhou, and transferred Master Zhou here with a transfer order.
Master Zhou's martial arts cultivation was completely ruined, and he only relied on teaching for a living. He gave lectures in the imperial city. Regardless of salary and status, he was far superior to many other places, so he got a good job.
After Master Zhou finished speaking, Xu Yi sighed, "Master Zhou has peaches and plums all over the world, so why bother planting flowers in front of the hall? Master, after twenty years of hard work, it is finally rewarded. It is really gratifying and congratulatory."
Master Zhou waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me. The old man is just lucky. But you are so magical. How come you were suddenly transferred to Shenjing and entered this imperial city?"
