yellow door

Chang Xiu had nothing to do with Zhaoyang Hall's entry of newcomers, and it was a trivial matter to enter only one person, but because Liu Sui'er couldn't hold back, when Li Da brought people in, Chang Xiu was also pulled in by her. Wait and see at the door.

From a distance, he found that the waiter looked familiar. When the person approached, he was slightly startled, then he took the initiative to walk forward, first greeted Li Da, and then raised the corners of his lips slightly, saying hello to that person. The person shouted: "Brother Ander."

It turned out that the eunuch was a brother who entered the palace with Chang Xiu and was trained at Chang Gui's place together.When the manpower was assigned, this An De also went to Feixia Hall with Chang Gui, but after running to call Chang Xiu, Chang Gui took him back to the Supervisor of Rituals.After that, he followed Chang Gui all the time and was never assigned to other halls.

When Chang Xiu went back to Chang Gui's place, he also met An De once, since he was brought out by a master, so when they met now, he naturally had to say hello first.

When An De saw Chang Xiu, his eyes lit up. Although he didn't get in touch with Chang Xiu often, he and Chang Xiu lived and ate together for more than half a year, and they came from the same door.He was naturally very happy to meet acquaintances in a new place.

Besides, Ander also knew that his junior brother seemed to be quite respectable with the fifth prince, so the smile on his face was more friendly than before, but because Li Da was with him, he didn't dare to be the same as usual. Xiu Duo said that he only greeted him, and then followed Li Da to the side hall.

Liu Sui'er saw that the person had left, so she stepped forward and asked crisply: "Do you know that person? He seems to know you very well!"

Chang Xiu nodded and said: "I used to be trained at your father-in-law's place, so I'm a little more familiar than others."

He was still preparing to deal with Liu Sui'er's next question, but Liu Sui'er uncharacteristically stopped talking, just blinked his eyes a few times, pouted and said, "You must have never told the master about this. This time, only one newcomer was admitted, which is not fun at all, except for this An Hai, the others are all the original people in the palace."

After hearing this, Chang Xiu smiled helplessly: "I'm not here to play with you, what do you want to have fun with? I don't want to serve my master, I just think about being stubborn all day long, so be careful to let my aunt hear you, and also want to say that you have no sense of proportion."

Liu Sui'er stared at her big eyes, and said: "It's just the two of us, if you don't say anything, I don't say anything, aunt would know what I said, but you are the most crow-mouthed!"

After finishing speaking, he muttered again: "You are younger than me, but you are more mature than me, so boring!"

Chang Xiu was spat on by Liu Sui'er, she just squinted her eyes, but she didn't want to argue with her anymore.

Because Wen Mu didn't have many servants before, Liu Sui'er always talked to Chang Xiu more often, but she was older and a girl with a delicate personality, and she always liked to talk nonsense and snatch words, while Chang Xiu had a good personality , and give way to her more on weekdays.

This time the Fifth Prince had more new attendants, Chang Xiu secretly felt that it was a good thing to have more newcomers, at least, there would be others for Liu Sui'er to pester.

Sure enough, in the next few days, Liu Sui'er mingled with the newcomer, but for some reason, it was An De who she found the most, and made trouble for Ander several times in Changxiu. He kept complaining in front of him, and he couldn't figure out why this girl Liu Sui'er had taken a fancy to her, she just took it as a joke.

Naturally, Chang Xiu didn't know why, and only comforted An De, this girl has always been like this.Xu came from the same door, and often complained to Chang Xiu, the relationship between An De and Chang Xiu became better and better.Even Wen Mu, who knew that Chang Xiu had a good brother, gradually became familiar with An De.

In a few days, that Gu Changting also came to be on duty in the Zhaoyang Palace, for this, the happiest person was Wen Mu.

Wen Mu also practiced martial arts, but because the descendants of the royal family only practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, although his martial arts skills are not bad among the princes, compared with Gu Changting, who is proficient in martial arts, he can only be regarded as a master of martial arts.The boy is very active, and his age is almost a few years old, so in the next few days, whenever Wen Mu has time, he will bring Chang Xiu to Gu Changting to learn martial arts.

Although Gu Changting was instructed by his master to be cautious in everything in the palace, but he is only a half-sized hairy head, plus he is upright, although he knows that he is training with the prince of the palace. He never gave in to Wen Mu like other guards did.

After a few punches and kicks, Wen Mu's body was often bruised and purple, but he was stubborn, even if he was injured, he would not tell others, but ran to Gu Changting's place more and more, only seeing Chang Xiu who was by his side trembling endlessly.However, because of this, Gu Changting admired Wen Mu, the prince who was a few years younger than himself, more and more. He only felt that this fifth prince had a resolute personality and a magnanimous heart, and he was actually a rare and forbearing person.

With more chances to see each other, Gu Changting naturally gradually got acquainted with Chang Xiu, the personal eunuch next to the Fifth Prince.Gu Changting has always been resolute and upright, and he is the least likely to see cowardly, cowardly people, but Chang Xiu is weak at first, and the weather is getting colder, and his body is timid, so every time Wen Mu and Gu Changting meet in the courtyard He came and went, but he could only hold the clothes of the two of them and stand tremblingly beside him.

Gu Changting was used to such scenes, and felt that this eunuch was really cowardly.He had also heard before that there was a eunuch with seven orifices and a very beloved eunuch in front of the fifth prince. Now that he had seen it closely, he only felt that apart from his beautiful appearance and well-behaved personality, this servant could not find anything that the fifth prince could love. Do not leave the strengths of the body.Therefore, he treated Chang Xiu as a flattering eunuch, and every time he saw Chang Xiu, he frowned more often.

Chang Xiu has always been meticulous and observant of people's hearts. After a few meetings, she found that Gu Changting didn't seem to like her.It's just that he has always been cold-tempered, and he is not someone he cares about, so he doesn't pay much attention to it. In addition, the weather is getting colder and colder, and his body is getting colder and colder, and he is getting lazier. Therefore, every time I see you After leaving Gu Changting, he only nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Besides, Chang Xiu somewhat blamed Gu Changting for disregarding his feelings and making the Fifth Prince bruise every time.Although the fifth prince himself didn't really care about some superficial injuries, but every time he saw them, he was always terrified.

Just because the fifth prince is willing to be covered in injuries doesn't mean that the imperial concubine is also willing to see the prince like this, just because the master has said something, and Chang Xiu can only carefully hide it.Not daring to blame the master, the resentment was naturally transferred to the instigator, therefore, his attitude towards Gu Changting was even more indifferent.Even a few times, when Wen Mu asked him to be closer to Gu Changting, he only responded lightly at first, but afterward, he still looked cool and indifferent, never talking much.

Having been together for more than a year, Wen Mu naturally knows the temperament of his valet, but he didn't pay much attention to it last winter, and now he realizes that the closer the winter is, the less considerate his valet is. However, his cold appearance was brought to the extreme.However, since Chang Xiu had an episode last time, he has become more compliant with Chang Xiu. Therefore, he talked about Chang Xiu's indifference to Gu Changting a few times, but seeing that Chang Xiu did not refute, but acted It was still the same, and I didn't mention it anymore, only the relationship between Chang Xiu and Gu Changting became more and more rigid.

In the twinkling of an eye, it has entered the twelfth lunar month. For the New Year, everyone in the palace is busy, and the Zhaoyang Palace is no exception. Even Chang Xiu, who is Wen Mu's close attendant, is also sent to do the work when she is free. Many things.

One day, Wen Mu took a nap and saw that the servant was not Chang Xiu, so he casually asked the reason, and the eunuch Ru Hai who was nearby replied that Chang Xiu had just been called to the side hall.

Because it was almost the first month, even the Chongxue Hall had closed classes early. After getting up, Wen Mu felt very bored. Looking for someone over there.

Passing by a room, Wen Mu suddenly heard a familiar laughter coming from inside, and knew that Liu Sui'er was here.He knew that Liu Sui'er was usually lively and active, liked to hang around in the palace and was the most well informed, so he was going to go in and ask her if she knew where Chang Xiu was.

Just as he raised his hand to knock on the door, he heard Liu Sui'er inside said: "So, that person is really in front of the Second Highness?"

Hearing this, Wen Mu immediately stopped the movements of his men, and only stood at the door.

I only heard another voice from inside, saying: "My little aunt, please keep your voice down, but you should keep your voice down."

Then, the voice lowered a little, and said: "The little Xianzi you saw that day came out of the same door as me, and I didn't expect him to come to me, but how dare I give the things he gave me?" Yes? The second prince's biological mother, Wang Concubine, is not as good as our concubine, but the second prince has always been on good terms with the fourth prince, and now she can be regarded as someone from the middle palace. Xiao Xianzi and I are now our own masters, really After taking his things, if the master finds out, it’s nothing to worry about, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to tell at that time, how dare I take his things? Little ancestor, can you stop mentioning this matter, you want to wait Are you looking at me getting skin cramps?"

Wen Mu heard that the person who spoke was Chang Xiu's brother An De.

Liu Sui'er giggled for a while, and then said: "However, what you said is so scary, it seems to be true, have you ever seen someone get cramp after being skinned?"

Ander said with a dry smile: "I just heard that the master Jian Tianli used this to scare us, so I took it seriously after hearing it. It doesn't matter whether you have seen it or not, this is not a joke. Auntie, grandma, you Don't mention it again in the future, otherwise, I won't be able to clean up my jumping into the river."

Liu Sui'er said again: "Listen to your nonsense, Chang Xiu and you also came from the same door, why didn't you see this little Xianzi come to him?"

An De replied with some disapproval: "He is now the fifth prince's personal eunuch, and ordinary people naturally don't notice him. Besides, you are not with him all the time, so how do you know that Xiao Xianzi never came to look for him?"

Liu Sui'er heard this, but she didn't refute this time, she just sighed suddenly, and said: "Why don't I see someone give me anything? Anyway, I came here earlier than you, it's just that so much money is in front of my eyes." Let me take a look, it's also good! You say, you are just an inconspicuous eunuch, and there are people who are busy giving you things, if you give this to me, how much should you give!"

But An De sneered, and said: "You don't dare to ask for it if I give it to you, stop dreaming, it's a pity that you are still a lady from an official's family, and you think about these things all day long."

But Liu Sui'er didn't seem to hear it, and still sighed in a wandering tone: "All those who are unremarkable will give Shen Shen a purse, and those who are unremarkable and favored, even if no other people from the palace come to look for them, I don't know how many there are." People are flattering. Thinking about it this way, I feel like I'm floating."

The room suddenly fell silent, and when I came over for a while, I heard Ander's voice saying: "It may not be given to anyone, even if it is eye-catching and favored, you may not dare to accept it if you give it! It's just you." You will have these daydreams all day long, do you think they are throwing money?"

"So, some are accepted and some are not?" Liu Sui'er finished her sentence, but without waiting for An De's answer, her tone changed again, and she said aggrievedly: "It's just talk, right? Can’t you talk about it? You just said that I am a lady from the official’s family, and I didn’t see you respecting me as a lady!”

Ander also seemed to understand the girl's fierceness very well, so he just joked and said, "You want to look at the money, isn't the reward and annual salary for the New Year not enough for you? You're just here to find something to do."

"But that's not much! By the way, it seems that everyone's annual salary and rewards are different? I just came in this year and just received the annual reward. Why does it look like it's more than Xing'er?"

"It's based on grades, and there are rewards from different masters. Naturally, they are different. I heard that the empress gave you things that we don't have. You are ashamed to ask me, don't you come to embarrass me? ?”

"Why? People really don't know much about it! It's not easy to ask people, but I happen to know you a little better, so I'll ask you by the way. Besides, I don't have the most things. I met Chang Xiu the other day. Pulling down Yu Linglong from his sleeve, he originally wanted to snatch it and play for a few days, but he said that it was rewarded by the master, so he dared not give it to anyone." Liu Sui'er suddenly sighed again, and said: "If someone rewards me for that good thing, it should be How wonderful, when I was at home, I have never seen such an exquisite one, I am so greedy and envious!"

After another half a day, I heard Ander's voice inside saying: "It's the same. Those who are always with the masters will naturally be rewarded more. People are divided into three or six grades, and the rewards are naturally of three, six or nine grades." However, even following the master is not necessarily good, and you have to bear some risks. Before I came to Zhaoyang Palace, I heard that the servants at the First Prince's place have changed a few times. Damn, our master has a pretty good temper, but has he ever been angry? Seeing the sky thinking about rewards, but rewards are not so easy to get. According to what my master said, in this palace, you must first keep yourself safe. It's serious!"

"It was your master who said again, you took your master's words as good advice, don't you want to be the second noble father-in-law?"

But Ander smiled and said: "It's natural to think about it. As the saying goes, 'people go to high places, water flows to low places', we work as servants in the palace, don't we just want to be promoted by others, The position of being served by others? That is the person that ordinary courtiers have to respect when they see it. But look at those grand dukes, which one has not been struggling for decades, and I don’t know how many things have gone through. Little eunuch, there is still a long way to go!"

Liu Sui'er laughed again, and said: "I don't see that you still have this ambition, the future Grand Duke An, this servant will salute you here first."

As she spoke, she laughed again, and after a while, she stopped and said, "By the way, you said earlier that you and Chang Xiu came from the same school, so why is he younger than you, but he came out before you?" The door? Could it be that you are too stupid, the master won't let you leave?"

An De just had a disapproving tone, and said: "You are wrong this time, when I was in the Feixia Palace, the master took me there first..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Sui'er interrupted: "Liar, if you came first, why is Chang Xiu here now!"

"My little aunt, will you let me finish what I said?" Ander was obviously very used to Liu Sui'er's temper, and he didn't get angry when his words were interrupted.

"At the beginning, the master was planning to give me to Feixia Palace, but who would have thought that the imperial concubine just wanted to find a smarter servant for the Mu master, so the master recommended Chang Xiu, and then brought me to the palace. Go back. How dare I lie in front of you!"

"Who told you not to speak clearly!" Liu Sui'er said in an upright tone: "Besides, I was right, it was because you were too stupid and not as clever as Chang Xiu, so your master took you back. , did not let you out of the teacher."

As she spoke, she laughed again, and said: "My Miss Liu Sui'er said, whenever something goes wrong, you still want to argue with me."

As she spoke, she suddenly said, "Bring it!"

Ander was very surprised, and asked: "This is a fool, what can I give you?"

"Hmph, if I didn't know, Chang Xiu was the smartest. Since he took your job back then, now that you're here, he can't help but think highly of you. There's always a gift of thanks, right? Besides, you We are very good with him now, and the Chinese New Year is coming, he must have given you a lot of fun things!" Liu Sui'er's tone seemed a little unhappy because An De had something to hide from her.

This time, Ander didn't reply immediately, the room was quiet for a while, and then his voice came out again, saying: "You will think more, he is just a slave, and the things that the master rewards can't be given casually." Damn, how can there be anything fun for me!"

When Wen Mu heard this, the corners of his mouth gradually turned up, he didn't go in to look for Liu Sui'er, he just turned around again, and walked back and forth slowly.
