Chapter 2 Kwai Yuen Library

That night, Su Chen barely slept.

Firstly, it was because I had just traveled through time and was still not used to it, and secondly, I was worried that someone would discover my secret.

When a man is sleeping, some parts of his body will have some natural reactions.

If someone sees me when I wake up in the morning, I can't imagine the consequences.

"Everyone, get up and gather in front of the gate of the Department of Internal Affairs to wait for deployment!"

The voice of the head eunuch came from outside the door.

Soon, the door opened, and Su Chen followed the other young eunuchs who had just finished their training and took small steps to the front door.

There are quite a few new eunuchs entering the palace.

At a glance, there were hundreds of people.

I heard that some time ago, an epidemic broke out among the servants in the palace and many people died, so there is an urgent need for supplements.

"Go faster, you will waste time by dilly-dallying, be careful with your heads!"

At this time, yelling came from behind the team.

Su Chen noticed that the little eunuch next to him seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable. His movements were slow and stiff when walking, and he was holding his lower abdomen while walking. He looked a little painful.

Purification is a very painful thing, because the conditions in ancient times were simple and often left some hidden diseases, such as dirt and contamination, which made it difficult for wounds to heal.

This little eunuch had obviously just been cleansed recently, and his wounds were not completely healed.

That's how it got pushed to the shelves.

"If not forced into a desperate situation, who would be willing to sell their children and grandchildren to do this job? They are all miserable people..."

Su Chen sighed.

He gave the little eunuch a hand.

He whispered: "Be careful, if the wound collapses, someone will die."

When the little eunuch heard this, he turned to look at him, with a look of gratitude on his face, nodded, and said thank you.

Su Chen didn't care either.

It's just a piece of cake.

Soon, a group of newcomers had gathered in front of the Department of Internal Affairs.

A senior eunuch wearing a blue robe with a round collar stepped forward to lecture.

The content was probably all about emphasizing some rules in the palace, which were clichés. After the training, the newcomers were assigned to various departments in the palace according to the roster.

For eunuchs, this is almost a moment that determines their future destiny.

The palace was very large, with twelve prisons, four divisions, eight bureaus, and a total of twenty-four yamen.

Some of them have leisurely jobs and lucrative jobs, such as those working in the banking industry, serving as food supervisors, etc.

Some had the opportunity to get close to the nobles of the royal family and were expected to be promoted, such as the governor of the capital who followed the emperor to guide the Qing Dynasty, the attendants of each palace, the accompanying readers in the imperial study, the eunuchs who supported the concubines in the honorary affairs room, etc.

There are also some yamen that are poor and lowly. Not only do they work hard, they have little salary and no room for advancement.

For example, Huanyi Bureau, Zhidian Supervisor, etc.

The promotion path of eunuchs is relatively fixed, and there is very little mobility among departments. They are basically assigned wherever they go. If there are no accidents, they will be fixed in the corresponding position forever until they die of old age.

If you are unlucky and are sent to an unpopular place, your life will basically be over.

Therefore, many people began to show their talents before the distribution.

Spend money to give gifts, find relatives through connections, and call your godfather grandpa...

I just want a bright future, I hope I can gain a firm foothold in this palace and live a more comfortable life.

Su Chen had completely different ideas from others.

He doesn't care about career advancement. It's best to stay away from those so-called noble people.

After all, if you get involved with the royal family, you may have great glory for a while, but if you are unlucky and get squeezed out in the palace struggle, you may also be implicated by your master, and you may be thrown into the cold palace and punished, or you may lose your life.

As for oil and water, Su Chen didn't attach much importance to it.

I now have the ability to live forever. As long as I live and slowly accumulate strength, I can have whatever I want in the future. There is no need to care about this yellow and white thing in front of me.

Prosperity and wealth are all fleeting in the face of immortality.

"It's best to assign me a quiet job, as long as it's not too hard."

Su Chen thought in his heart.

Soon, the head eunuch read his name.

"Su Chen, you will be assigned to the Kuiyuan Library and be responsible for daily sweeping and cleaning work..."

When other people around him heard about this place, they shook their heads slightly and looked at him with pity.

As we all know, the Chu Dynasty relied on military force to establish its country, so it emphasized military force over literature.

The status of scholars in China is not high.

Inside the palace, although there are four gardens of plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and sunflower to collect books and collections, few people actually go to see them.

If the royal nobles wanted to read a book, most of them would directly ask their servants to come and pick it up.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the library is just a warehouse for storing books. It is an unpopular person and has no future than guarding a miscellaneous warehouse.

There are no noble people to see, and there is no money or money.

Basically, I just guarded a pile of books until I died of old age.

Who makes it okay for this kid not to give gifts?

He deserved to be sent to Kwai Yuan.

"Haha, to others, this Kuiyuan Library may be a dead-end job, but to me, it might be a good place!"

Su Chen was secretly happy.

He longed to find a place with few people to nest in, preferably one where no one was interested, so that he could grow slowly and slowly.

Of course, on the surface he didn't show anything strange.

In order not to arouse suspicion, he even pretended to sigh in disappointment.

"Brother, don't be discouraged. Although Kuiyuan is a little deserted, it is not a difficult place. If you endure it, there may be opportunities in the future."

At this time, the little eunuch next to him spoke and comforted in a low voice.

"I'm fine."

Su Chen gave him a forced smile, then followed a foreman eunuch and set off for Kuiyuan.

have to say.

The palace is really big.

Su Chen walked all the way out of the Department of Internal Affairs, twisting and turning, walking for almost half an hour, passing through several luxurious palaces, and finally arrived at Kuiyuan.

Kuiyuan is located at the southwest corner of the inner palace of the imperial city, close to the palace wall.

It is a large garden no less than a regular palace. It was named after a nobleman who liked sunflowers in the early years and planted them all in the yard.

However, due to neglect in recent years, a lot of it has died, leaving only a sparse part.

The largest building in the garden is a loft made of redwood.

It is divided into two floors, with carved beams and painted buildings, and is antique.

It looks like it must be a few years old.

In addition to the library, there is a row of low small rooms in the courtyard, including rooms and toilets, which are the residences of the eunuchs on duty.

"This is where you will do your work from now on. Although this Kuiyuan is deserted, it is still guarding the royal collection. You must be more careful in your work in the future, otherwise, if something goes wrong, you will lose your head!"

The head eunuch gave instructions calmly.

A little eunuch who is destined to have no future is not worth saying anything.

He waved his hand and asked Su Chen to go in and report to the eunuch in charge of Kuiyuan.

"This place looks quite nice. It's quiet and quiet, and not many people come here on weekdays. You can stay away from the palace struggles as much as possible. I just don't know what kind of person the director of Kuiyuan is. I hope it's easier to get along with..."

After thinking about it, Su Chen stood up and went inside.

It was duty time now, and the chief officer should be in the library, so he came to the building and gently opened the vermilion door...
