"It's nothing. When I was in Prince Xi's mansion, His Highness Prince Xi would often call out the wrong name or the wrong surname. Although I don't know how your junior brother's name is written, there is indeed a word 'Nian' in the name of your subordinates, so I am used to it." The sex stopped." Fu Yan calmly explained, without turning around while speaking.

"That's it. That's all right, let's go."

After Fu Zhen finished speaking, he seemed to sigh impatiently again.

"The subordinates will retire first."

After finishing speaking, Fu Shiba left without looking back.

The moment he was called "Fu Nian", his heart did tremble.But when he heard that the other party was wrong, he felt relieved.

Senior brother didn't believe in these gods and gods since he was a child, and he heard that senior brother wished he would be without him as a junior brother in his words. If he was really exposed, he should be getting a fat beating on the spot instead of walking and jumping with his legs on the ground.

The daily life of being an ordinary guard in the palace is ordinary.

Even after leaving the new barracks and starting to patrol and stand guard, it was still much more leisurely than the days when he was a shadow guard by His Majesty's side, and there were even days dedicated to rest.

In the past, being able to take a day off was something Fu Yan could only hope for.

Although the fiscal revenue is much more relaxed than before.

Resting today, Fu Niangang picked up a branch and used it as a dagger in his hand, practicing the saber techniques he had learned before from memory.

In order to avoid being discovered by others, Fu Yan deliberately chose a corner where no one was around.Some people have already tried to test his identity with tricks and tricks. Fu Nian felt that it was unnecessary in the future, and tried not to let others see his sword and stick skills, as well as hidden weapons.

Not long after practicing, Fu Nian heard footsteps coming towards him, and quickly dropped the branch in his hand.

"Lian-read-"

Honeysuckle's voice.

Fu Nian relaxed his vigilance a little, and turned around, "What's wrong with Lonicera? Why are you in such a hurry to run?"

"Look at this! Hungry Ghost Festival is coming soon, the palace seems to hold these activities every year during Hungry Ghost Festival..."

After finishing speaking, Fu Nian saw Liandong handing over a piece of rice paper, the ink marks on it were not completely dry, obviously it was just printed.

Fu Nian took it and glanced at it, "Hungry Ghost Festival, martial arts challenge..." Before he finished reading, Fu Nian's eyes were attracted by the small words below, "The winner will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, and the royal meal will be cooked every month... ..."

"What gold hundred taels, what imperial food?" Liandong hurriedly asked after hearing these key words, "Brother Lian, read carefully, I can't read..."

Fu Yan carefully read the above text again, "It probably means that there will be a martial arts competition on the Ghost Festival, and all guards can participate. The one who wins in the end will get a hundred taels of gold every month. You can designate the imperial chef in the imperial dining room to cook a meal, and the family members in your hometown will also get a certain amount of care. This is probably what it means, and I can’t read some characters.”

"Is that good, I want to participate too."

"Mm." Fu Shiyan agreed.

When he was in the palace before, the palace was always lively and lively every year during the Ghost Festival, but Fu Nian never went out, except that he and Chu Chaoyi would go out of the palace to worship at the ancestral temple, and the rest of the time he just stayed in the palace and guarded the place. A busy person sees his courtiers, discusses matters, and approves memorials, which is no different from his usual busyness.

"Aren't you excited! With so many bonuses, last time you beat so many people from King Ze by yourself, you should give it a try."

"Excited." Fu Tian's voice could not hear the slightest feeling of excitement, as usual, without any ups and downs.

The bonus is indeed very attractive, but to make a move in front of everyone... Fu Nian is not willing to show the limelight, especially in front of Chu Chaoyi, the senior brother will also watch.

"But I'm excited, I'm not interested." Fu Yan added.

"I heard that if you perform well, you may even work directly in front of the imperial court! This kind of good opportunity is really... Sigh."

Hearing the words "Employee in front of the imperial court", Fu Yan had a conditioned reflex, "Then I don't even want to go."

Liandong looked at Fu Nian in puzzlement, his eyes were full of doubts, "Ordinary people would never wish for a job in front of the imperial court, why is Brother Lian so abnormal?"

Fu Nian didn't want to explain the... new and old grudges with Chu Chaoyi in the past, as well as the pile of old things from the previous life.But looking at the kid in front of him who was really curious, after thinking about it for a while, Fu Nian decided to tease him, "Come on, come closer and let me tell you a secret. It's not rumored in the Chengyuan Palace. I overheard it before."

As soon as he said this, Liandong was completely excited, and excitedly pricked up his ears, "What! Let me listen!"

Fu Nian pretended to be mysterious and leaned into Liandong's ear and talked for a long time before turning his head away.

"After a long time, you saw a mouse embroidered on His Majesty's sleeve? I thought it was something rare, such as how to be promoted to Chengyuan Hall, or some shocking secret."

"Isn't it a secret to embroider mice on the sleeve? Even if the enemy's spies come, they can't find out about this kind of thing, right?" Seeing Liandong's disappointed reaction, Fu Nian tried his best not to smile.

"Why do spies from the enemy country want to know what is embroidered on His Majesty's sleeve?"

Fu Nian: "That makes sense."

After finishing speaking, Fu Nian bypassed Liandong and changed to another place to practice sword skills quietly, perfectly avoiding the other party's question why he didn't want to work as an errand in Chengyuan Hall.

Compared with real daggers and short knives, the branches are always a bit weaker, even if they are tied with stones, the feel is not so right.

In the evening after practicing, Fu Shiyan put down the branch in his hand with unsatisfied enthusiasm.

When he moved to the south after leaving the palace, he still hid some rubbings of sword books brought out from the master's gate in his residence there. It is not known whether the house and the property in it were confiscated after his death.

It wasn't too cool in the summer night, Fu Yan lay under the tree, looking at the swaying shadow of the tree above his head, his eyes were dull.

Is the brother reliable... If not, Fu Nian is counting on the Ghost Festival, Chu Chaoyi will always go to the palace to go to the ancestral hall to offer incense, and there must be a time when the guards of the Chengyuan Hall are lax. Do you want to wait until that time before entering? look?But if you don't ask senior brother about the soaked ginseng, it's hard for him to find out.

Later, Fu Nian realized why those rebellious ministers around His Majesty in the book, even the great eunuchs, had to choose fathers-in-law and maids in the palace to train them to be their own spies and dead soldiers.

A naive guy like him knows that people who serve as lackeys for Chu Chaoyi usually don't live long enough to be famous in history.

"I seem to understand why I was spurned and insulted by thousands of people back then." Fu Nian sighed softly to the tree shadow.

As soon as he finished sighing, Fu Nian felt a slap on the forehead.

He jumped up quickly, looking around vigilantly.

"Here it is."

Suddenly, the contemptuous and helpless voice of the senior brother came from behind him.

Fu Nian turned around.

Sure enough, he came out of a master's school, and the brother who usually plays little tricks will only be better than him.

"It's you, the last time we met, I just remembered that your surname is Fu——"

"Don't pretend. You know my name." Fu Zhen interrupted without waiting for the person in front of him to finish his smooth talk.

"Remember your name...it should be Fu Zhen." Fu Tian was exposed, but he replied honestly, "Excuse me, Mr. Fu, but after finding out, what is the use of King Ze's cold ginseng?"

"Your Majesty Fu dare not call me that. The one who can be called Master Fu in the palace is dead, that dog. If someone else called the dog by its name, beware of the ruthless owner who wears a dragon robe." Fu Zhen said succinctly He corrected, "I found out. King Ze has been weak and sick since he was a child. The first time he used soaked ginseng as medicine was at the age of three years and six months. Since then... there have been more miscellaneous diseases, but because his mother and concubine left early, He has been adopted by various concubines of the late emperor, so many prescriptions have not been sorted out in the hospital, and the records of prescriptions from the age of six to 14 are incomplete."

"Go ahead." Fu Nian didn't expect Fu Zhen to really help him.

I didn't expect...the inquiry was very precise.

"To sum it up, I made a rubbing copy of all the prescriptions that Ze Wang had since he was a snack," Fu Zhen said, took off his cloak, and took out a stack of wrapped papers from the hood. After a while, there are quite a few prescriptions with soaked cold ginseng, I didn't bother to look carefully, so I brought them all."

Fu Nian really didn't expect such a good thing, "Thank you, great kindness, how can I repay you!"

After finishing speaking, Fu Nian subconsciously wanted to take the stack of papers in Fu Zhen's hand.

Unexpectedly, the hand stretched out.

Taking advantage of the situation, Fu Zhen took a step back and deliberately lifted the package in his hand, "I can't afford it, just give me money."

Fu Nian's originally expressionless face froze a bit.

Is there any chance of winning the senior brother? If he can't win... the trick is not worth the loss, and the other party seems to have the ability to help him find out this information. There must be more time to deal with it in the future, so we can't be arrogant.

"..."

Seeing that he was silent, Fu Zhen continued with his frivolous tone, "Ah, you don't think it's free, do you? I risked my life to walk back and forth in the palace. I don't charge much, 60 taels of gold."

That's not much.

Ordinary people have enough to eat for several lifetimes, but not much.

Fu Nian thought about it. When he lost his arms and legs, the compensation and property he got were all pawned, and it is impossible to have so much.

But collecting these things must have taken a lot of work.

Fu Nian gritted his teeth. He knew that before entering the palace, he should go back to the south to find out how much of the property he left behind during his lifetime was left.

"For the time being... not that much." After a long silence, Fu Yancai reluctantly said, "Can I have credit first? The monthly silver is only... 45 taels of silver, pawning the grain, and at most a few more taels of silver. 60 taels of gold, the subordinates really can't get it out immediately."

After discussing with colleagues, Fu Tian began to wonder where he could get so much money.

He has been dead for so long, the mansion in the south has most likely been confiscated, and it is very likely that it will be a waste of effort to go back, and the legacy left by the previous life will not be found.

Borrowing money... from someone I don't even know.

After thinking for a while, Fu Nian recalled that earlier, Liandong told him that there would be a martial arts competition in the palace during the Ghost Festival, and the winner would be a hundred taels of gold.

"That's fine. It's waived if you sign the signature. If it is found that the palace prescriptions are illegally searched and sold at a high price, I can't escape the debt. Just give me 45 taels of silver as a deposit." After thinking for a while, Fu Zhen replied heartily. .

You also know that this is against palace rules?

Fu Nian muttered something in his heart.

Sure enough, after giving the money, Fu Yan received the rubbings of the prescription from Fu Zhen as promised.
