Tracing Office

After two days, as expected, several eunuchs came to select candidates.

Mo Yun was in the corner where he was holding the cornbread that he had been allocated, and he was struggling to swallow it, because he offended the eunuch Liang Shun who was in charge, and all the other eunuchs avoided him, so the corner where Mo Yun was was surrounded by people. is empty.But this is also a good thing for Mo Yun, after all, he doesn't really want to spend time making friends with a group of children.What's more, these children are not kind and lovely little angels.

Liang Shunmai, who was in charge, suddenly stepped in: "Hurry up, come out and stand up."

It was time to eat, and when it was suddenly interrupted, there was inevitably a commotion in the crowd.So a few young eunuchs who were proud of Liang Shun approached and asked, "Eunuch Liang, what are you going to do?"

Liang Shun glared: "What do you ask so many to do, if you tell you to come out, come out!"

Seeing the terrified looks of the little eunuchs, he added a sentence indifferently: "Anyway, it's a good thing. If you can be selected, there will be a great fortune waiting for you."

It was a good thing to hear, and everyone was excited.After all, he is still a child, even though he has been in the palace for several months, he still expresses his emotions very directly.

Liang Shun felt unhappy when he heard these little eunuchs yelling, "Stop making noise! ​​Get out!"

The little eunuchs quieted down and went out one by one.

Seeing Mo Yun walking past him, Liang Shun laughed a few times, and said in a strange way: "Some people here are just born mud, even if it is a great fortune, they can only watch."

Mo Yun paused, raised his head and smiled innocently at Liang Shun: "Grandpa Liang's words are so right, some people, no matter how lucky they are, after this age, they can only watch." .”

Liang Shun didn't expect that Mo Yun would really dare to talk back to him, so he was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, Mo Yun had already gone out along the crowd. Clean up this little brat!

They came out of the room one after another and stood in a row.Three unfamiliar eunuchs sat on the chairs that had been carried out in the yard, and beside them were several eunuchs who were the same as Liang Shun, who were also driving out the little eunuchs under their command.

Mo Yun glanced over, the eunuch sitting in the middle was wearing dark blue clothes, Mo Yun found that the middle of the blue clothes was embroidered with patterns.No matter how idiot Mo Yun is, he also knows that only eunuchs of high grade can wear embroidered clothes.It seems that this selection is really important.

Almost all the people came, Liang Shun and the others finished counting the number of people and shouted "Quiet" a few times.

After all, he was still a child. Although everyone gradually became quiet, many people were still looking around excitedly.Mo Yun noticed that the face of the eunuch in dark blue was coldly sweeping across the faces of those overjoyed little eunuchs, and frowned slightly.

Mo Yun sighed silently in his heart. In fact, he still doesn't quite adapt to this environment. In Mo Yun's eyes, these little eunuchs are just little peas.However, it is obvious that the test has already begun. This is just a selection, and it’s okay if you don’t get selected. There will be more choices in the future. Sometimes even a single thought can be the difference between life and death.Impetuousness, recklessness, innocence, and ignorance, these characteristics that are unique to children and are usually tolerated by adults, become heinous shortcomings in the palace, and they must either be changed or be ruthlessly eliminated.

Think about Liu Tian, ​​but he has only stayed in the palace for three years, and his speech and behavior are already as stable as an adult.

Mo Yun noticed that someone was looking at him, and he lowered his head slightly.

No one spoke until even the small "humming" sound gradually disappeared, and it was as quiet as if there was no one in the yard.The little eunuch with poorer psychological endurance was already pale, with fear in his eyes.

The eunuch in dark blue clothes slowly stood up and walked to the front of the crowd: "How many can read? Stand up and show our family."

A few brave little eunuchs stood up, and after a dozen or three stood up one after another, Mo Yun also stood up, but compared to other little eunuchs who looked excited or restless, he stood still. He just lowered his head and waited obediently.

After more than 50 people stood up, the eunuch in dark blue clothes waved his hand: "Enough."

The rest of them who were still hesitating immediately panicked, and there was a commotion in the crowd.

The eunuch manager in the dark blue clothes ignored him, and asked Liang Shun and the others to lead them back while waving his hands. He looked at the more than 50 people who stood up, and saw some people were beaming with joy, while others looked bewildered. Of course, there were also people like Mo Yun also looked calm, unmoved by the wind.

The eunuch in dark blue clothes nodded in satisfaction after seeing it, thinking: "There are still a few of this batch that can be seen."

"Don't be dazed, just ask." He glanced at the two people following him.

Those two people hurried over, each holding a book of Analects, starting from the first little eunuch, randomly flipped through a page and handed it over: "Read a paragraph accordingly."

Those who will be brought into the palace to be eunuchs, either have committed crimes at home, or are too poor, so even though they are literate, few can read smoothly, most of them are stumbling, and there is one who is actually The illiterate ones were dragged down with their mouths covered before they had time to beg for mercy.

When it was Mo Yun's turn, he took the book and read it smoothly according to what others pointed out. In order not to be too conspicuous, he deliberately misread a few words.

Even so, the eunuch nodded in satisfaction, and walked over to Mo Yun and asked, "Have you ever gone to school before?"

Mo Yun was flattered and said: "No, I haven't attended it, I just secretly listened to the teacher's lecture outside the private school in the village."

After listening, the eunuch's face softened significantly, and he even reached out and touched Mo Yun's head: "Good boy."

Mo Yun lowered his head and looked shy, vaguely feeling that many eyes were cast on him, with jealousy and hostility, but no kindness.Mo Yun thought to himself: It seems that these children also understand what it means to have too many monks and too little porridge.

There are only more than 50 people in total, and each person has a book, and it will be over soon.About ten people were eliminated, and some people cried on the spot.The remaining forty stood silently in the cold wind, and the chief eunuch said: "Our family is here this time to select someone to go to the study. Originally, you all came from humble backgrounds, and you can only be blind for the rest of your life. Now you are envious of the emperor." For your kindness, you are allowed to study and read. Those who study in the study will not have to work as errands. You were selected because you knew some words."

"But let's put the words here first. The rules in the study are very strict. If someone doesn't obey the rules or doesn't pay attention, you can think about it yourself. At that time, it won't be as simple as coming back here."

The little eunuchs answered "Yes" in unison.

The eunuch nodded in satisfaction: "Our surname is Feng, you can just call him Mr. Feng. You people, these days, will be under our family's management first. Follow me to identify your residence first, and then our family will meet you." Ask your senior brother to explain the rules to you, and you must remember it firmly, no one is allowed to cause trouble for our family!"

"Let's go."
