Chapter 37 Father-in-law Xiao Guizi (please collect, recommend, monthly ticket, and follow up)

On the second day after returning from hunting in Haidian, early in the morning, before dawn, Wang Zhongxiao and Li Jixiang, who was yawning all the time, arrived at the gate of Dong'an together. Wang Zhongxiao was carrying a bag, and Li Jixiang was holding the horse.

It carried the bedding roll that Li Zhang had packed for Wang Zhongxiao, as well as Wang Zhongxiao's spear, bow and arrow, waist knife, shield and a box of books, as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

In fact, according to the old rules, those who go into battle to kill the enemy must bring a spear, bow and arrow, a sword, and a shield. To protect the emperor, you must have a good guy. With just a sword, I really encountered a fully armed assassin.

If you can't protect the group, how can you protect the emperor?

But those are old rules. Today's guards don't bring those when they go to the palace. They just come with a waist knife. So when Wang Zhongxiao showed up at Dong'anmen with this set of equipment for going out to fight,

, and also startled the knights guarding the gate. They thought they had seen a ghost so early in the morning. Those who would drag this set of equipment out early in the morning were not the evil Ama and the evil Ma who had already suffered their retribution.

Is it legal? Only when I got closer did I realize that I was not seeing a ghost, but an old antique. If it weren’t for the high gold content of the Qianqing Sect’s waistband, and the “pig-killing warrior” Wang Zhongxiao,

The name was so prestigious that the guards guarding Dong'an Gate almost didn't let Wang Zhongxiao in.

Although Wang Zhongxiao went in, Li Jixiang still had people stop him from entering. Who told him that he didn't have a waist card? So Wang Zhongxiao could only send Li Jixiang home first, and then let Zhang go after his waist card was obtained.

Xiaobao or Guo Jinbao sent it to him.

Of course, Li Jixiang's "family members of the guards" cannot enter the Forbidden City, but they can get to the red shop outside the Forbidden City, which is the house where the guards live. These houses are all old houses, and like the Forbidden City, they are from the Ming Dynasty.

It has been passed down that the people who lived there were all the Jinyi soldiers who protected the Ming Emperor. Yesterday, Mr. Yu was bragging to Wang Zhongxiao, saying that his father, his grandfather, his great-grandfather and other grandfathers were all there.

Lived.

Wang Zhongxiao followed his master Duolong's instructions and walked straight along the street inside Dong'an Gate. After a while, he arrived outside Donghua Gate, where a row of small courtyards were built against the roots of the Forbidden City wall.

Donghua Gate has been opened at this time, and there are many carts delivering water, vegetables, rice and noodles coming in and out. This is all the work of Zhang Xiaobao, his family and other masters of the Imperial Kitchen! The Imperial Kitchen is responsible for this.

Not only does he manage the food and drink of the emperor's family, but he also manages hundreds of guards, more than a thousand guardsmen, the Eight Banners Guards who are on duty in the imperial city, servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, officials of foreign dynasties, as well as eunuchs, maids, servants, etc.

Waiting for food and drink, the daily water flow is amazing!

The row of small courtyards at the base of the Forbidden City Wall all had door numbers. Wang Zhongxiao quickly found the small courtyard where Duolong lived. The door of Duolong's courtyard was closed, and no one had gotten up yet! Wang Zhongxiao did not dare to disturb the leader's sleep.

Only when a leader sleeps well can he serve the people well. No, now he is serving the emperor! So he waited quietly outside the courtyard gate.

I don't know how long I waited, but it was already bright. The guards from several nearby courtyards went out to have breakfast in twos and threes, but there was no movement in Duolong's courtyard.

Just when Wang Zhongxiao suspected that his master was about to oversleep, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind: "Shikai, are you here so early?"

This is Doron's voice!

Wang Zhongxiao quickly looked back and saw that his master Duo had put on the yellow mandarin jacket of the guard, carried a thin waist knife, and put on a hat with flower feathers. Next to him was a man wearing a blue robe and holding a hand.

A little eunuch with a whisk. No, not a little eunuch, but a child eunuch! Because Wang Zhongxiao saw that although the eunuch was young, he was still a child, but the top of his hat was golden. This was a seventh-grade or eunuch.

The leader eunuch of the eighth rank.

Wang Zhongxiao was so happy that he was now Mingzhu's student, Duolong's disciple, Xiao Guizi's brother Wang - there was someone in the court!

"Since the Emperor has decreed that no cheating is allowed, then I will definitely not cheat!" Wang Zhongxiao replied with a smile, "Brother Gui, when will I go to Yingtai Island in Xiyuan?"

He is indeed the emperor’s confidant!

Wang Zhongxiao quickly bowed to the little Guizi and said, "Zhongxiao pays his respects to Mr. Gui."

"Well." Wang Zhongxiao glanced at Guanyinbao, a short and stocky man, "Your Majesty, to be honest, I'm not sure I can beat Brother Guan in wrestling. I'm tall, with long hands and long legs. If it's fist and foot competition, I'll definitely win.

The upper hand. But it's better than being knocked down. Brother Guan is much stronger than me. If I get hit hard by him, I might fall down."

Duolong smiled and nodded, then pointed to the little eunuch beside him, "This is Mr. Gui. Call him Mr. Gui!"

At this time, Xiao Guizi smiled and said to Wang Zhongxiao: "Brother Wang, the emperor heard that you kicked Guanyin Bao down when you were competing with Guanyin Bao outside the Jingyun Gate Arrow Pavilion. He thought you were a bit dishonest, so he wanted you to fight with Guanyin Bao.

Guanyin protects the competition from the last one! Let’s compete on Yingtai Island in Xiyuan. Don’t cheat again this time!”

After finishing the ceremony, he took out a ten-tael banknote and stuffed it into the little eunuch's hand, and said with a smile: "Please have tea with Mr. Gui."

Wang Zhongxiao quickly gave the young man a thousand-year gift: "Bless me, sir."

As soon as Xiao Guizi finished speaking, Duolong pointed to the small courtyard where he lived and said to Wang Zhongxiao: "Disciple, this is my master's red shop. Now I am the only one using it. There are still several empty rooms.

You can live here. But I usually don’t come over to sleep at night. I have a friend in Bada Hutong, so you live alone in this courtyard. In addition, your horse must be led to the stable dedicated to our guards.

There is someone to take care of you. You carry your luggage into the yard first, and then I will take you to the stables and settle your big horse. Your horse rides majestically, but it takes a lot of effort to raise. Remember to take care of the horse.

Only if you receive a greeting gift from the stable driver, can I take good care of you."

Uncle Fu stopped fishing. He turned around and looked at Wang Zhongxiao with a smile, "Tell me the truth, if you don't cheat, can you win against Guanyin Bao instead of throwing down?"

When Wang Zhongxiao put on the guard's yellow mandarin jacket, put on a warm hat decorated with a gilded clam top, hung a guard's special shark skin scabbard gilt waist knife on his waist, and followed Little Guizi's father-in-law across the Forbidden City.

, then entered Xiyuan through Xihua Gate, and when we landed on Yingtai Island, it was almost noon, and Uncle Fu and Guanyin Bao had already arrived.

Mr. Gui? Eunuch Gui? Xiao Guizi?

"So you kicked him out of the blue?" Fuquan asked with a smile.

Xiao Guizi said: "You need to settle down now, and then go to the guard's stall with your master to complete all the necessary procedures, and then go to Yingtai with me immediately to wait. When will the emperor finish his work?"

I came to Yingtai to see you wrestling with Guanyin Bao."

So Xiao Mazi is the leader eunuch. This must be Xiao Mazi’s confidant!

Wang Zhongxiao hurriedly jogged all the way to Duolong and saluted: "My disciple, please pay your respects to Master."

"Don't call me Ye," Xiao Guizi smiled slightly, "You are a sixth-grade Lan Ling guard. I am just an eighth-grade minister. From now on, we will still treat each other as brothers. You can call me Brother Gui, and I will call you Brother Wang."

The little eunuch seemed very happy that Wang Zhongxiao called him "Master Gui". It was not that he wanted to be "Master", but "Master" was a common title in Beijing. Although they all served the emperor, the eunuch

They are not proud of their jobs, and just want others to treat them as normal people. The title "father-in-law" seems to others to be an honorific title, but to the eunuch himself, it is still a bit harsh. So he really has a good relationship with a certain eunuch.

, usually they are called by ordinary names. Eunuchs also do not call them father-in-law.

"Okay, Brother Gui!"

Uncle Fu was sitting fishing in the Yingxun Pavilion in the southernmost part of Yingtai Island, near the Taiye Lake. Guanyin Bao was standing behind him as a bodyguard. When he heard footsteps coming from behind, Uncle Fu looked back.

At a glance, he realized that the visitors were Wang Zhongxiao and Xiao Guizi, and he laughed loudly: "Datou, you are really energetic in this yellow mantle. If you stand behind the emperor, the group of Zhu San and Prince will see you.

How dare you rebel?"

"Isn't this cheating!" Wang Zhongxiao was quite thick-skinned. He even admitted to cheating and said with a smile, "If I hadn't cheated and followed the rules of wrestling, I would have definitely lost!"

Fuquan turned around and asked Guanyinbao: "Is he right?"

"Yes!" Guanyinbao said, "Brother Wang's skills are on horseback. The spear that shot into the sky yesterday would have been used twenty or thirty years ago. Maybe he could earn a batulu. But it would be better than knocking him down, slave.

I’m still confident that I can beat him.”

Fuquan nodded, and just as he was about to say something, the voice of a boy whose voice was changing came from outside Yingxun Pavilion, "I also want to see a real Kung Fu wrestling match. It would be better for you two, one of you should admit defeat, and the other

A sure win, what better than this? It’s boring!”
