Out of Yuanmen

Liu Sili wasn't originally called Liu Sili. When he was born, Wen's mother-in-law in the delivery room yelled, "It's a son." His father sat outside the delivery room, smoking a pipe, and said, "Call him Chen Erniu."

Originally, he planned to ask the blind old scholar in the village to name him, but the old scholar asked for a fish.His father couldn't bear it, so he returned home listlessly, thinking that the child would grow up to be a digger anyway, and he would be able to support himself with a cheap name.

Chen Erniu pitifully grew up to be six years old. In the severe winter, heavy snow fell on the mountains, and famine immediately broke out in the family.The father and mother looked at the four younger brothers who were waiting to be fed, and then at the rice vat that was full of rice. They were cruel and asked someone to sell him into the palace-then Chen Erniu was dragged to the clean room and starved for four days. God, click a knife.

While the eunuch was still talking, Chen Erniu passed out with a sore throat.When he woke up again, Eunuch Liu, who was in charge of teaching him, threw over a set of eunuch clothes and said coldly, "Put it on."

The young Chen Erniu tremblingly pulled up his clothes and wanted to put them on, but when he moved, the severe pain from his lower body almost tore him apart, and he fell to the ground crying.

Eunuch Liu stood there watching him curled up like a puppy. After a long while, his heart softened. He knelt down to support him and comforted him: "Don't cry, you must know the rules when you enter the palace. You are lucky." , A few of the children who entered the palace with you were unable to bear the pain of purifying themselves, and have already died. People like us have a cheap life, and it would be good if they survived."

What is life and death is too unfamiliar to Chen Erniu.He was still crying in pain, and Eunuch Liu took out a piece of oil-wrapped snack from his arms and stuffed it into his hand: "Eat it."

Chen Erniu was really hungry, so he ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake without caring about the pain.He didn't even taste it, his body interpreted what Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit.

Eunuch Liu stood back as if he hadn't done anything, and said indifferently, "Get up now, change your clothes, and come with me."

Chen Erniu hurriedly wiped his hands on his tattered clothes, and while gasping for air in pain, he changed into the clothes tremblingly.After he changed his clothes and stood on the ground with difficulty, Eunuch Liu suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

"Chen Erniu..."

Eunuch Liu said: "Forget it."

Eunuch Liu thought for a while and said, "You are considered lucky. You were ordered to the imperial dining room as soon as you came in, so you don't have to do some deadly work. From today on, you will be called Xiao Fuzi."

Okay, now Chen Erniu is called Xiaofuzi.

Although Xiao Fuzi didn't know a single word, he was born with a sweet mouth.Although he didn't know much about what happened to him, he was keenly aware that the tall man in front of him was someone he needed to please, so he hurriedly asked, "This uncle, what should I call you?"

Eunuch Liu said: "Well, you are called our master. And you have to change your name. You can't call me in this palace, you have to say servant girl, young one. When you meet the grandpa, you should call it the master. When you meet the nobleman , I want to call the master. Can I save it?"

Xiao Fuzi studied etiquette with Eunuch Liu for half a month, and worked in the imperial dining room for another year.He was energetic and sweet-mouthed. Seeing him satisfied, Eunuch Liu mentioned to him that he had adopted a foster son by his side, and followed him to teach the little eunuch and the little maid.This job is much easier, and the palace people who come and go have to handle it from Eunuch Liu. Xiao Fuzi has met many people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a good fortune.

Eunuch Liu would often hold his ears and say: "Little Fuzi, remember that in this palace, people like us, if we want to live for a long time, we have to learn how to behave like others. Let's see You have a sweet mouth, you have to remember that only by pleasing the nobleman can you make your way to the top."

Little Fuzi learns very quickly, and he has mastered flattering people very quickly.Now in his heart, being able to become a righteous father is a first-class person, and Xiao Fuzi always wants to be a righteous father in his dreams.A few years later, Eunuch Liu finally entrusted his relationship with him and sent him to Concubine Chen's palace. Within a few months, he became a celebrity in front of Concubine Chen.

At this time, he was only 11 years old.

Mr. Liu lamented that his adopted son would be promising, but unfortunately the world was unpredictable and Concubine Chen fell out of favor.The old emperor gradually stopped coming to Concubine Chen's palace, and Xiao Fuzi reacted the fastest, and regardless of how kind Concubine Chen was to him in the past, he immediately sprinkled money and went out to ask someone to change him to another palace.He was very popular, so he asked the maid beside the queen mother to pick him up, and sneaked into the upper study to wait for the prince to study.

That was the same year, when Mr. Liu passed the shooting range on the road, he bumped into two princes racing horses, was dragged to death by a prince tied behind the carriage, and rolled into a ball of rotten meat that couldn't see its true colors.

Only then did Xiao Fuzi realize: Oh, so even if he becomes like a adoptive father, the nobles will still kill them as they please.He died without dignity, and the corpse was wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave.

Leaving aside the fact that he began to feel the feeling of being torn apart, these princes have been indoctrinated with conspiracy theories since they were young, and all of them are very suspicious.The palace servants next to the prince who dragged Eunuch Liu to death came to ask for credit, saying that the little eunuch who went to the study room was the adopted son of the old eunuch you dragged to death, and the prince began to suspect that the little eunuch was not upright.

Little Fuzi was driven to the Clothing Bureau in a daze.

After his hands were chapped by cold water, Xiao Fuzi finally understood why Eunuch Liu said he was lucky at first.Unwilling to be tortured like this, he began to run around, wanting to return to a more relaxed place, but all the palace people who had been friends with him in the past all avoided him like the plague.

In the final analysis, it was just that he had lost his backing, and he was of little use value.

He can also understand that the previous encounters are not illusions, it's just that everyone in this palace is like a floating weed, just looking for self-protection.

Xiao Fuzi could only wash clothes in Shangyi Bureau for three years. During the period, he saw a lot of things, such as the maid around her was beaten to death with a stick because she scratched her mother's clothes, and the little eunuch was beaten to death because she was late in delivering the clothes. things like that.When Xiao Fuzi was resting, he would think that the lives of these slaves were indeed cheap, and they were worth more than a piece of clothing.

He became more and more aware of what his adoptive father had told her back then, "Only by pleasing the nobles can one succeed in success".

Fortunately, when the time came, Xiaofuzi caught up with Zhu Zhinan's mother who sacrificed her life to save the old emperor's life. The old emperor was moved and built a ancestral hall for her to pray for blessings.He spent all the money he had saved over the years, and finally found an errand for the queen to keep her spirit.

This job is very easy, firstly, you don't have to deal with those concubines and princes who are uncertain, and secondly, you usually sweep the ancestral hall to ensure that the incense will continue.But the nightmare that had followed Xiao Fuzi for many years still did not let him go. Every night he would dream of countless bloody palace people being swallowed up by the gorgeous buildings surrounded by the vermilion palace walls.

He still has nightmares all day long.
