When he came to the side door, he found that he was not the only one waiting there, and there were seven eunuchs who were already waiting there.
One of them, Hu Xiaotian, actually knew him.
It is Shi Xuedong, the baby son of Shi Bubu, who is still a good friend of Hu Xiaotian and Shi Xuedong.
Thinking that the two pretended to bow to each other, when Hu Xiaotian went to Qingyun to take office, Shi Xuedong also personally went to the Shili Changting Pavilion to send him two yellow pictures, the purpose of which was nothing more than to pit him, and now the two of them are all in trouble, and the two met in the palace as eunuchs.
In front of so many people, the two just made eye contact, and no one dared to say hello.
A group of people followed Zhang Fuquan and walked briskly through the road within the two palace walls.
The Shang Diet Supervisor is in charge of the food and banquets of the emperor and the palace.
Among them, there are also a large number of personnel, because they have resigned a lot of old, weak, sick and disabled people before, and there are less than half of the eunuchs left in Shangshanjian, which also includes the palm seal and the eunuch Guanglu, the prime minister, the management, the secretary, the director, the writing, the supervisor and the supervisors of the cattle and sheep houses, as well as the procurement of various ministries.
These people have positions, and most of them are idle in charge of management and command, and it is not their turn to do the real heavy work.
Zhang Fuquan is in charge of the cattle and sheep house, to put it bluntly, it is a slaughterhouse, and livestock are not allowed to be slaughtered in the palace, and they are often slaughtered and washed in a special place and then sent to the palace after being sent to the kitchen by the little eunuch.
Zhang Fuquan called these new eunuchs to work as coolies, took them to the courtyard of the imperial dining room, pointed to two carts full of slaughtered cattle and sheep, Zhang Fuquan said: "A few of you carry all these to the cattle and sheep house." ” The cattle and sheep room is the place where Zhang Fuquan is responsible, where he is responsible for dividing and washing the slaughtered cattle and sheep, and then according to the requirements of the imperial dining room.
Sort the meat and bring it to the table.
At first glance, this job may not sound technical, but when it comes to doing it, it is a severe test of physical strength.
Although there were many eunuchs who came to work, the real heavy physical work was all handed over to these eight newcomers.
Everywhere there is a first come, first come, first come, and it is common for the old man to bully the newcomer.
Zhang Fuquan left immediately after explaining the matter, and he had other things to arrange.
Here, Zhang Fuquan left.
A eunuch with a pockmarked face stopped what he was doing, pointed at Hu Xiaotian and the eight of them, and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, if you delay today's lunch, you will cut off all your heads."
The words are arrogant and domineering, and the old man bullying the newcomer can often be seen in any environment.
The eight new eunuchs were all silent, including Hu Xiaotian and Shi Xuedong, the two former eunuchs.
When they first arrived, they were not familiar with the environment, how could they dare not bow their heads under the eaves of people, not to mention that the two of them are now in trouble.
The somewhat outdated phoenix is not as good as the chicken's state of mind, and it can't be compared with these eunuchs.
Hu Xiaotian and Shi Xuedong naturally formed a group, both of them were flexible enough, of course they knew that they had to pick and choose light work, and jointly picked up a fat sheep of about fifty catties and sent it to the cattle and sheep house.
Shi Xuedong finally saw the opportunity, and lowered his voice and said, "Brother, why are you here?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "No way, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey." ” The two of them carried the sheep and walked inside.
While whispering.
Historiography said: "You are clean" Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't you talk nonsense, don't cut who let you enter the palace."
But I was overjoyed in my heart, Shi Xuedong must not be as good as himself.
He was spared from this level of purification.
Shi Xuedong sighed gloomily and said: "Thinking about how suave I Shi Xuedong was at the beginning, but now he has fallen into such a situation, it is really better to live than to die."
The pain of the skin, the regret for life" Hu Xiaotianxin said that you bullied men and women at the beginning, and did all kinds of evil, and now this kind of fate can be regarded as karma.
Lao Tzu is a good person compared to you, although he looks down on Shi Xuedong's personality in his heart, but he finally met an old man in the palace, and he happened to be a sworn brother, and he will have a companion in the future.
Hu Xiaotian persuaded: "It's better to die than to live."
Anyway, you should have been romantic, and you should have enjoyed it, and for our brothers, the most important thing is to save your life. ” Shi Xuedong thought so, nodded, and was about to speak, when a person behind him waved a leather whip and slapped him on the back, which made Shi Xuedong feel painful, his hands shook, and the fat sheep in his hand fell to the ground.
But it was the pock-faced eunuch who rushed up from the side, whipped and beaten, and scolded in his mouth: "Blind slaves, you know at a glance that you are delicious and lazy things, and you are actually lazy and chatting here, believe it or not, you cut off your heads." ” Shi Xuedong covered his injured back and dared not speak angrily.
The pock-faced eunuch raised his whip and was about to pull it down at Hu Xiaotian, but he encountered Hu Xiaotian's cold gaze, and for some reason there was a chill from the bottom of his heart, and after hesitating, Hu Xiaotian had already picked up the fat sheep and walked away.
After all, the whip was not drawn, and the pock-faced eunuch scolded: "Don't have a next time, if I see you lazy again, I will hang you two newcomers and beat them." ” The new eunuchs soon found out that once Zhang Fuquan came out, the old men pretended to move things, and once Zhang Fuquan left, the gang immediately began to find a cool place to rest, and stayed in the palace for a long time, these eunuchs had already become old oilers, and they would seize every opportunity to be lazy and slippery.
A pampered Yanai like Shi Xuedong has done such rough work in the past, and he is soon so tired that he can't straighten his waist.
The pock-faced eunuch walked towards him again, and it seemed that he was going to look for his bad luck again.
Shi Xuedong gasped and said: "Don't force me, I really can't carry it" In fact, it's not just him, seven of the eight new eunuchs are already tired.
Only Hu Xiaotian is an exception, this guy carried half a slaughtered fat cow on his shoulder, and strode towards the cattle and sheep house, he didn't see any fatigue at all, and he saw that the eunuchs around him were dumbfounded, this thing is obviously born with divine power, not to mention that he has carried it back and forth so many times, just this half of the fat cow is also up and down five hundred catties, he can carry it alone, and it seems to be effortless.
The strong are respected, and people will naturally have a sense of awe for the strong.
Hu Xiaotian's performance today has shocked many eunuchs around him, although Hu Xiaotian did not show any force, but this brute force alone is already quite outstanding, and no one dares to offend such a person easily.
Hu Xiaotian himself understood the reason in his heart, although he had some strength in the past, he was not strong enough to be so strong, it should be the skills passed on to him by Quan De'an that played a role, not only did his strength increase greatly, but he didn't feel any fatigue after working for so long.
After working for more than an hour, and finally finishing moving all the cattle and sheep, Hu Xiaotian came to the basin and washed his face, raised his head and saw a person looking at him with a smile, and reached out to hand him a towel.

It was Zhang Fuquan, the head of the cattle and sheep house.
Hu Xiaotian took the towel and wiped his face, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Grandpa Zhang." ” Zhang Fuquan whispered: "Don't worry, I will take care of you more in the future."
With that, he turned and left.
In Hu Xiaotian's memory, he did not have any contact with this person, and the only reasonable explanation is that Quan De'an said hello before, otherwise Zhang Fuquan would not have chosen him, and took him directly to Shangshanjian to avoid the procedure of verifying his identity, it seems that Quan De'an's power in the palace is really not small.
I need to be careful in the future, I don't know how much of his eyeliner is planted around him.
It's just that Hu Xiaotian is quite puzzled, since Quan De'an has such a great ability, why didn't he arrange himself directly to the emperor's side, but get here to do hard labor, is it because he wants to test himself first in this way After a hard day's work in the cattle and sheep house, the new eunuchs were all exhausted, and after dinner, it was finally time to rest.
In the Dakang Palace, low-ranking eunuchs often lived in the prison barn in the southwest corner of the palace, and all the eunuchs on duty lived in the inner house of the place where they were located.
There are also many eunuchs who will leave the palace on time after a busy day's work, live in a large bungalow on the north side of the palace, and return to work in the palace every morning before dawn.
Although Hu Xiaotian and his group of new eunuchs had a humble status, they lived in the palace because they had to get up early every day to do their work, and there was a row of ear rooms on the west wall of the Shang Shan Eunuch, where they spent the night.
The layout of the rooms is all about the same, there are bunks along the north wall, and at night, the little eunuchs who have been busy all day sleep collectively here, and twenty people should lie down in each room, although the room is not small, and the bunk is very long, but the real twenty people all lie down, and there is almost no space to turn over.
Hu Xiaotian and Shi Xuedong were the last to go back, and the eight people were evenly divided into four rooms, and Hu Xiaotian and Shi Xuedong happened to be in a group.
Shi Xuedong is not as good as Hu Xiaotian, that is, he has no pure body, and he has been passed on by the masters for ten years, this guy rubbed his shoulders and complained bitterly: "It is said that it is better to die than to live, but if you live like this, it is better to die." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, everything has to have an adaptation period, big brother, you are used to living a good life in the past, you can't endure hardship, just wait for a few days to get used to it." ” Shi Xuedong saw that several eunuchs not far away were talking to each other, and looked at the two of them with bad intentions from time to time.
Shi Xuedong said in a low voice: "Xiaotian, I feel that something is wrong, those eunuchs don't seem to be good at looking at us, shouldn't they be planning how to deal with us?"
Hu Xiaotian had actually noticed the actions of those people, and said in a low voice: "It must be."
