Xin Han used the Bajiquan in front of Ruidong. He deliberately did not use all his strength, but even this made Ruidong praise him. He said that his level was considered to be of average quality even among the imperial guards.

Ruidong even had the idea of ​​taking Xin Han as his confidant. Of course, it was too early to say that, so he had to observe for a long time and understand Xin Han's background and be a human being before he could make the final decision.

The guards in front of the imperial guards were established in the early Qing Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Taizu. The emperor guards were treated very high and their status was very noble.

The guards can be used as the emperor's attendant, which is also a special political treatment.

What's more important is that the ways to promote and remedial the guards are much wider than other personnel.

It is precisely because of the special and generous treatment of the guard system that it has become a shortcut for the children of Manchu nobles and bureaucrats to obtain high-ranking officials and generous salaries without passing the exam.

Originally, the candidate of the imperial guards was not very strong.

But the situation is different now. Oboi is tyrannical and arranges a large number of imperial guards into his own people. These people rely on Oboi as their backer to take other guards seriously, and even scold and bully them. This has led to many guards resigning and returning home, and no powerful children are willing to take this shortcut in Zhongnan anymore.

The imperial guards were in a time when they were not in contact with each other, so Ruidong could only put people in the guards. Of course, it was not possible to install them casually. They had to be clean. Xin Han just met the conditions. First, he was a bannerman, and second, there was the recommendation of the former imperial guards. Only then did Ruidong dare to agree.

Ruidong was very efficient in his work. The next day he sent someone to send him a set of official and waist-branded pieces of the guards of the third-class imperial guards, and on the third day he personally took Xin Han to office. In this way, Xin Han became a glorious third-class imperial guards in the Forbidden City, and was also a fifth-rank official outside.

This speed was too fast. Ruidong's speed of doing things really shocked Xin Han, and then he suddenly realized.

It is probably because the master behind Ruidong used his strength. How could Ruidong do so neatly? As for who is his master? Who else can besides the fake queen mother Mao Dongzhu who plays in the deep palace?

Speaking of which, Xin Han, the Forbidden City, is familiar with it. After all, I have been to this tour guide twice in later generations, so I am not as good as Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden like the original work.

Xin Han was arranged to work in the imperial kitchen and served as a seven other guards only to stand in the morning post. It is a heavy responsibility to ensure the safety of the royal diet. He would take a turn for the afternoon, but he would not go home and listen to the imperial guards' room.

In two days, Xin Han received a lot of goods in the past two days, and had a good relationship with the guards. He also met the legendary Zhang Gengnian and Zhao Qixian. These two people were loyal to Wei Xiaobao in the future, and he followed Wei Xiaobao to get promoted and make a fortune.

Among the guards, only the Aobaiyi team were all above the top, but they didn't care much about Xin Han, the newcomer. They usually acted arrogantly and called out to other guards. Xin Han saw it and sneered in his eyes. These people couldn't stay for a few days, and my future was on your master.

At noon that day, Xin Han was walking into the class room, thinking that Wei Xiaobao should be in the capital these days, and he would meet him in the palace one day. He had to implement his plan quickly. Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly heard him call him.

"Brother Xin, will you go to play with me after dinner?" Xin Hanyi saw that it was Niu Yonglu who was standing guard with his class. This person is a good sword technique for the Eight Banners. He has a hobby on weekdays, and he is quite kind.

Xin Han was worried about how to find out the news, and nodded and agreed. After lunch, Niu Yonglu took Xin Han to the utensil room. There were several guards who were not on duty gathering to gamble, including many people who were shouting loudly. The location is remote and there are no fear that anyone would hear it. Even if a few eunuchs and palace maids heard them, how dare they take care of these guards? What's more, eunuchs gathering to gamble.

When the guards inside saw Niu Yonglu bringing Xin Han to come, they greeted each other and asked the two to join in and place the bet. Xin Han happily joined in when he saw Zhao Qixian and Zhang Gengnian were also here.

Xin Han didn't know how to play Paijiu, but Niu Yonglu taught him. Although he played for the first time, he was generous and didn't care about winning or losing. He even deliberately paid out money. After a few cards passed, he got the favor of the guards and became brothers. Thinking about it, he was stupid, he had a lot of money, and he would not be able to pay any debts if he lost. Who doesn't like it?

At the end of the game, Xin Han lost at most fifty taels of silver. This silver was not much for Xin Han, but it was not a decimal for the guards. The ones who won the most were Zhang Gengnian and Zhao Qixian.

It’s not that the two of them are lucky, but that Xin Han deliberately lets the water out. Although he can’t play, he pays attention to the expressions of the two when playing cards. When they are in the banker, they must have gotten good cards. Xin Han then follows more and deliberately loses money, so 60% of the money they win are contributed by Xin Han.

These two people are also very particular about people. After the show, they called Xin Han and Niu Yonglu and said they wanted to treat them. Several people came to the Yi family restaurant outside the palace and ordered a few good dishes and started drinking.

When they were so excited that they had a better impression of this little brother under Xin Han's deliberate plea. They all patted their chests and said that they would cover him in the future. Xin Han also took the opportunity to cleverly investigate the situation in the palace. Some people said a lot of rumors and gossip.

But he nodded at the room where Kangxi practiced martial arts, which disappointed Xin Han.

In the evening, Xin Han returned to the unique house he bought in the capital, said hello to Duode and worked hard on himself. He never missed his boxing practice these days. Although he reached the peak of Mingjin, he could still feel that he had made some progress every day. I think he should not want to break through to the darkjin.

After practicing boxing, he took the towel from Dode and wiped his face and let him go down to rest. He sat in the pavilion in the yard and slowly drank tea, while his heart kept thinking about various clues and clues.

Suddenly, Xin Han's eyes lit up, and he thought of a clue. In the original work, there were all kinds of snacks in the room where Kangxi practiced martial arts. He was guarding the imperial kitchen and wanted to know where these snacks were delivered every day, although it was difficult, but it was not impossible.

I was really dark under the light and couldn't even think of such the easiest way. I felt so good that I couldn't help laughing.

The next day, when Yi Zao Xinhan was on duty, he paid attention to the situation in the imperial kitchen and carefully paid attention to the direction the eunuchs carrying snacks were going. "This is not, this is sent to the Empress Dowager's side, this is the Empress Dowager's, this is the Empress Dowager's, this is the Empress Dowager's, this is the Empress Dowager's..."

"Hey, brother Xin, do you like to eat snacks?" Niu Yonglu, opposite Xin Han, suddenly asked Xin Han.

Xin Han looked at Niu Yonglu in surprise: "Brother Niu, why did you ask this?"

"Hehe" Niu Yonglu chuckled and quipped: "Your eyes are about to penetrate those snacks."

Xin Han scratched his head embarrassedly: "Is it that obvious?"

"It's that obvious!" Niu Yonglu said with certainty. He did not doubt Xin Han had any bad intentions. Poisoning and murdering the emperor was just a legend. You should know that the emperor, the queen mother and others had special eunuchs to test the poison. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, no fool had poisoned the imperial kitchen.

Xin Han was like a lightning: "I'm going to tell you, Brother Niu, I have had a problem since I was a child. I like to eat some snacks, etc., but my soul was gone when I saw delicious snacks."

"You kid, you are still greedy when you are old."

As Niu Yong's jokes made a joke, Xin Han cleverly shifted the topic to yesterday's bet. Niu Yonglu immediately became energetic, forgot about what had happened before, saying that whoever had lost his luck, and won a lot yesterday. One day, I will definitely let him spit out the money and profits, etc...

Xin Han took the opportunity to ask, "Brother Niu, I heard that there are many father-in-laws in this palace who are good at gambling, why didn't you see them yesterday?"

Niu Yonglu curled his lips and looked around and said in a low voice: "The eunuchs who have no eggs are all too petty. Without that, they look at the money as if they were nothing. They also started, but they couldn't pee in a pit with our guards, and they were playing elsewhere."

The two of them chatted as time passed quickly, and it was noon in a blink of an eye. They were about to walk back after getting off. Three little eunuchs walked out of the imperial kitchen. None of them had a tray on their hands, and there were various snacks in the tray, totaling about ten plates.

Xin Han looked carefully and saw that there were small spots such as Thousand Layer Cake, Osmanthus Cake, Minced Meat Cake and Sesame Cake, which were very attractive.

"It's already lunch time, where are these snacks going?" Xin Han thought to himself, and suddenly his shoulder was slapped. It was Niu Yonglu.

"I said, brother, you are quite a big man, can you be a little ambitious? When you meet Husband Hai one day, brother, I will drink my face and ask you for some food? Let's have a walk and have a meal."

Mr. Hai is Eunuch Hai who is in charge of the imperial kitchen. Of course, Xin Han knew about the old eunuch who brought Wei Xiaobao into the palace.

Xin Han pretended to be embarrassed during the holiday and smiled and walked with him.

As soon as he turned around, Xin Han said that his stomach hurt and he wanted to go out. He asked Niu Yonglu to leave first without waiting for him. Niu Yonglu reminded him not to forget to go and play with his hands in the afternoon. When Xin Han agreed, he let him go.

Xin Han quickly turned back and saw that the eunuchs had not walked far away. He hung from a distance and followed him.

Xin Han was wearing guard clothes. No one asked him when he met someone on the way. He walked straight to the side hall where the eunuchs would come out empty-handed when they entered.

After a few eunuchs walked away, Xin Han saw that there was no one around, so he walked over and looked into the crack of the door. Seeing that the house was empty, he pushed the door and walked in.

But I saw that the house was empty and there were a few cowhide human figures leaning beside the wall. Several large cloth bags were hanging from the beams, which seemed to contain rice, wheat or sand. In addition, there was only a table with a curtain hanging in front of the table, and there were about ten plates of snacks and cakes on the table.

Xin Han was overjoyed and was always here. He observed it and planned to wait for Kangxi's arrival here. However, before solving the problem of food and clothing, he had already protested after being a poor morning.

I reached out and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and chewed it in my mouth. The mouth was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus. Not to mention the things in the palace were good, but the cakes made by later generations that had various additives were simply incomparable.

As he was eating, suddenly the footsteps sounded, from far to near. Could it be that Kangxi was coming? Xin Han quickly lifted the curtain of the table and hid under the table.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally arrived at the door, and then the door was pushed in. The person who came walked very lightly and walked straight to the table.

Xin Han only saw Yi's feet wearing official boots under the table. These feet were very small and unlike adults. Thinking of Kangxi's age, he nodded secretly. It seemed that the one outside was the future Emperor Kangxi.

Now Xin Han was just thinking about how he appeared, and he felt a little nervous. The owner of the foot walked to the table and then heard the sound of chewing and swallowing.

Xin Han was secretly funny. It seemed that Kangxi was busy with political affairs and was too hungry. He must not find that the snacks were stolen.

Just as he was thinking, footsteps from outside the side hall came again, and it seemed that he was coming here. Xin Han was curious about who was coming. Could it be that a minister came to report on his work? Suddenly, the curtain of the table rose up and a smaller figure came in, holding a piece of minced meat cake in his hand.

Xin Han felt nervous. Is this discovered? But it was completely different from the meeting he set. Then a face wrapped in white cloth appeared in front of him. Damn, I suddenly realized in my heart that this was the look of Wei Xiaobao when he first entered the palace to prevent others from recognizing that he was a fake eunuch.

At this time, Wei Xiaobao was also frightened. He didn't expect that there was someone else under the table. He widened his eyes and was about to exclaim, but Xin Han covered his mouth and nose until he recognized Xin Han calmed down and was let go, so he was breathing.

Seeing Xin Han let go, Wei Xiaobao lifted up the white cloth on his face and showed his face, indicating that he was Wei Xiaobao.

Xin Han smiled at him, gestured with his hand to silence, and pointed outside, indicating that people would not find out.
Chapter completed!
