"These two are the instructors I hired for you. From now on, he will lead you to practice. This one is Xiang Xiang, and the other one is Jiang Quan. You guys have met first."
It was obvious that Chunxiang and Jiang Quan, the two guys who broke into the house privately, were instructed by Chang Yu, and the woman was the palace maid Linglong. At the moment, she was leaning on the door and looking into the courtyard in a daze, with a complicated expression.
"Linglong, what are you looking at? Bring the things in." Chang Yu glanced at Linglong and said, and felt that there was something wrong with her vision. He followed her gaze and saw a pretty face sticking out after entering the courtyard door, but it was not a little apple. Who else must have heard something strange and secretly came to see him, but found out that it was Chang Yu who was here. He couldn't help but smile on his face, and suddenly there was a spring breeze.
"Brother Chang, that girl is..." Linglong bit her lip: "Are the clothes you want me to bring just for her?"
"Yes, her name is Little Apple." Chang Yu smiled faintly and turned to look in the distance again. Little Apple had already walked out from behind the door, pinching the corners of his clothes, biting his lips and lowering his head with a silly smile.
"He's a lovely guy." Linglong sighed and walked to Chang Yu: "Don't let those old guys in the academy bring trouble to others." She rolled her eyes as she said this.
I don’t know why Linglong is not afraid of Chang Yu at all. Although Chang Yu is definitely the number one eunuch in the palace now, and no other eunuch or maid would bow down when they see him, but he doesn’t have that scary feeling about him. He is not like other powerful eunuchs who always have a cold face and put on a show. On the contrary, no matter how big or small eunuchs or maids are, as long as they say hello to him, he will respond with a smile.
"Who did I harm?" Chang Yu looked aggrieved, but Linglong ignored him. Instead, she turned around and took out a large package from the carriage at the door and carried it in. Chang Yu just wanted to reach out to help, but was rejected with a cold snort. It was a bit embarrassing, so I cursed at the servants who were still getting close to Chunxiang Jiang Quanqiu: "You are all blind, you don't know how to help, and you have to move everything in the car."
"You are so good-looking. My name is Linglong." Linglong was carrying a big bag. Before she walked a few steps, Little Apple rushed over to help carry it at the door of the second entrance, but she was instantly shocked. I have seen three thousand beauties from the three palaces and six courtyards.
"Sister is also very good-looking. My name is Pingguo." Little Pingguo was a little shy, even though the person who complimented her was a woman: "Is sister a friend of Mr. Chang?"
"Master Chang, just call him Brother Chang. I, um, can be regarded as his friend." Linglong was used to seeing big scenes, and she didn't have to be coy about anything she said or did. She soon regarded Little Apple as one of her own, but when When he saw the warm gloves hanging on Little Apple's hand, his expression changed. He couldn't help but look back for that figure and glared fiercely.
At this moment, Chang Yu couldn't feel it at all. He was standing in the corner with his arms folded, watching Chunxiang and Jiang Quan training servants like Luo Tang. The natural advantage started from standing in the military posture and military boxing.
Linglong followed Little Apple into the side room, chattering without knowing what they were talking about. From time to time, Little Apple's happy voice could be heard, which must be that she was very satisfied with the old clothes brought from the palace.
Under the guidance of Chunxiang and Jiang Quan, the servants have slowly begun to practice the first set of military body boxing. Both of them were brought out by Chang Yu himself. Although they may not be high disciples, in the scope of military body boxing, I am afraid that the entire palace Apart from Chang Yu, they are the only two majors in the field. Each move is extremely strict, and the teaching methods are from the same school. After three times of not paying attention, they just started.
Chang Yu walked around the yard with his hands behind his back, looking here and there. In the eyes of others, he should be bored to death, but no one knew what he was thinking.
In fact, he thought very simply, how to make the most of this house. If that day comes, it will play an important role.
"Miss Linglong, do you also work in the Huang family?"
In the room, Su Chenghuang asked politely while sitting on the bed watching Linglong chatting with his daughter.
"Uncle Su, don't call me miss. I'm actually just a girl. Yes, a royal girl." Linglong smiled slightly. Chang Yu had told her to hide her identity before she left the palace. She also had an affair with Chun Xin Jiang Quan. They were also curious to find out where this place was and whether it was Chang Yu's private residence.
But Chang Yu told him with a very solemn expression that the matter was confidential and the less he knew, the better. He brought them here with absolute trust in them. Apart from him, only the three of them knew about this place.
The three people were very moved by the sound of trust, and they all vowed not to spread the word.
"It seems that our master's family is a wealthy one," Su Chenghuang said with a smile, "I don't know when I will have the opportunity to meet my master's family."
"It's difficult," Linglong said with a smile, "Our royal family is really a big family, and the head of the family is very busy with a lot of business. It's rare for ordinary people to see her, even Little Brother Chang."
"Ah, that's it. Miss Linglong, please ask. Is Brother Chang the housekeeper in the Huang family? Why do you look so young!"
"He!" Linglong raised her head playfully and thought for a moment: "He is not a butler, but he is better than a butler."
Oh, Su Chenghuang's family of three, their eyes lit up.
"In the Huang family, except for the master's family, everyone else should give him some face," Linglong continued, but Su Chenghuang became confused. Could he be an illegitimate child at such a young age and with so much face...
"Linglong, it's time to go." Just when Linglong was still chatting, Chang Yu's voice sounded outside the door. The girl's face immediately changed and she curled her lips: "Uncle Su, goodbye, I have to leave. Little Apple will wait a few days." I’ll see you again tomorrow.”
"Uncle Su, I have something urgent to do, so I won't go in." Chang Yu shouted outside the door. Su Chenghuang waved his hand hurriedly: "No, no need for you to go about your business, go about your business."
"Thank you, Brother Chang"
At the door, Little Apple lowered his head and thanked Chang Yu in a low voice. He was particularly touched after learning from Linglong that Chang Yu specifically asked her to find some clothes and send them to her.
Chang Yu smiled slightly and just waved his hand: "I'm leaving" and took Linglong away.
Outside the gate of Huangzhai, Chang Yu looked at Linglong: "You should go back to the palace early, and remember to go around a few times when you go back."
Linglong nodded: "Brother Chang, can you not give the things I give you to others at will in the future?"
Well, Chang Yu was startled, then solemnly nodded: "Okay"
Linglong immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'm leaving." After that, she jumped away.
Alas, the handsome guy suffered. After watching Linglong leave, Chang Yu sighed, jumped on the carriage and headed towards Guangqumen.
In the cold weather after the snow, there are actually very few people entering and leaving the city, especially very few people leaving the city. But surprisingly, there seem to be a lot of people leaving the city through Guangqumen today, and the time periods are relatively concentrated.
Chang Yu drove alone and leisurely left the city. The clatter of horse hooves on the snow seemed to be very pleasant. Looking at the people walking in twos and threes along the road, he couldn't help but shout: "Go faster." "
Needless to say, these people are all eunuchs who came out of the palace, but this time they went out of the city not to let them fight, but to train. As for what they were training for, no one knew. Anmen (Di'anmen) left the palace and gathered at Panjiayao ten miles outside Guangqumen. Surprisingly, most of them came out with shovels and other tools.
Although there were various speculations, they never guessed that the eunuch Chang Yu would drag them to a small village to burn a kiln.
"To be honest, my ancestors were kiln-burning people, and they were quite famous. But later on, their family fortunes declined... Hey, I have been thinking about regaining the glory of my ancestors recently, so I rented a dilapidated kiln like this to practice my skills." Pan Chang Yu said this to more than two hundred people in Jiayao's house.
As for whether these eunuchs believed it or not, no one knew. Anyway, no one objected. He started digging a hole in the yard under his order, and the requirements were quite strict, with the length and width being fifty meters each and the depth being three meters.
As for why he had to dig a hole in the yard, Chang Yu explained: "Dig the earth and bake the bricks. I can dig as big a hole as I like." Then the curious Hu Ling, Fan Jiaqian and others were scolded and ran to direct the two of them. More than a hundred openings have been started.
The geology in the north is dry and hard, and the soil is frozen in the cold winter. It is not that easy to dig such a hole, but once the frozen soil is dug, it is not difficult for more than 200 coolies.
The excavation army over there was working in full swing, but Chang Yu stood in front of the three broken houses at the southern end of the yard in a daze, or stared at the broken kiln in the west corner in trance.
That's right, Chang Yu planned to hide the palace treasures here. He dug such a big hole in preparation. Of course, he also had to do some waterproofing, moisture-proofing and camouflage.
But he thought about it for a moment next to the broken house and kiln, and then changed his mind. He immediately called Hu Ling and ordered that there was no need to dig such a big hole in the yard. Instead, he dug a gap and dug the hole to the south. He wanted to dig the hole in the south. There is a treasure cave dug out two meters below the broken house kiln, which makes it more hidden.
In this way, there is no need to dig such a large area of frozen soil, and the amount of work is reduced. Secondly, it is not easy to collapse at this time in winter, and there is no need to worry about water seepage. Considering the dryness of the north, even if it rains in summer, Seasons, there will be no water seepage at a depth of two to three meters.
These eunuchs were mentally miserable. They started to lie to me that I didn’t have to do hard work, and could get a high salary by practicing and boxing every day. Who knew that training was so hard, and they dragged us out to fight with gangsters. I thought that was all, but now, We were asked to dig soil with shovels again, and it seemed that we had to make bricks at the same pace. After a while, we came back to the same place, and it was even more difficult than before.
Of course, no one dared to say these words, and they even had to show enthusiasm.
Chang Yu was really pleased with this enthusiasm for active labor, so he asked Li Tiezhu to take a few eunuchs and drive a carriage to the city to purchase food and drink to reward these coolies.
Although Panjiayao is more than ten miles away from the capital, it is located in a remote place. The village is not big, with only about twenty households, and almost all of them make a living by firing bricks in the kiln. After all, brick-making requires digging, so the original site chosen was a wilderness. , so even after many years, the village is still not prosperous, and it is far less prosperous than the four major ghost markets in the capital in the late Qing Dynasty (the morning market was the first to be formed). Acquaintances are embarrassing, and they have become famous for a long time), and they are not as famous as Pan Jiayuan in later generations.
The sudden influx of more than two hundred people into a small kiln village was naturally eye-catching. When these eunuchs entered the village, some villagers asked curiously, but the embarrassing thing was that these eunuchs ignored them at all, because Chang Yu A ban had been issued long ago, and they were not allowed to talk to the villagers.
Moreover, because of their unique voices, eunuchs can easily be spotted when they speak. These eunuchs are so prideful that they don’t want to chat with strangers.
This made the villagers more curious, and they gathered around Chang Yu's far gate and started talking.
It wasn't until Chang Yu felt a little bored in the courtyard that he opened the door and walked out. He noticed this group of curious people and couldn't help but frown. He was really bored. His house is at the west end of the village. , it is relatively remote, these people are not at home to warm their beds in the cold weather, they just watch from a distance like that stupidly, how gossipy and boring this is.
"Hello everyone." Although Chang Yu rolled his eyes inwardly, he still smiled and went over to say hello.
