Chapter 18: Hypocrisy

There were four beds in the room, and the one left for Zhang Zhaohua was the one closest to the window. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis bed does not have more sunlight than other beds, but because of its proximity to the window, there is still some wind that can blow in at night, and Zhang Zhaohua, who sleeps on this bed, is easily woken up by the sound outside.

Since everything comes first and comes, there's nothing to worry about here. But all the things sent, whether they were screens, circle chairs or basins, were picked by the Niu family first, and only after she picked them did she mercifully let the other three choose, Zhang Zhaohua didn't understand this truth. There is a dresser here, and every morning it must be used according to her first, she and her wife can grind on it for an hour, and Niu Shi doesn't know whether it is really a lot of problems or pomp, saying that he must bathe every hour of the unitary hour, and Zhang Zhaohua and Lu Shi cannot enter the house before three o'clock, and they can only enter after she washes.

In addition, this Niu family also has a strange problem, always saying that he is too weak to see the wind, and the house does not allow the window to ventilate, saying that the wind in the room is too strong, the needle hole is big, the wind is big, the wind is a knife that kills people without seeing blood. Whether it was a soft knife or a hard knife Zhang Zhaohua is not clear, because when she went to play in the garden, it was windy and rainy, and a group of girls couldn't stand it and hurriedly walked back, but she didn't do anything at all, neither sneezed nor caught a cold, but became happy, saying that it was the willow wind blowing noodles.

If you shout every day that you are not allowed to open the window, Zhang Zhaohua does not like to stay in the house all the time, outside, especially in the garden, the scenery is very good, and you can go out to breathe fresh air. But I don't know that Niu's inexplicably has a moth again, and suddenly got up in the middle of the night, saying that she heard the faint, drizzling sound, as well as the sound of wind blowing grass, the shaking of branches and bamboo leaves, and the sound of cicadas, she could hear it, and shouted: "It's too loud, I can't stand it!" Sometimes she covered her ears, closed her eyes, frowned, shook her head, and screamed that she had a headache, Zhang Zhaohua got up to look at her, and she said that it was the sound outside that disturbed the ground, and asked Zhang Zhaohua and them to go out to bomb birds, catch cicadas, beat leaves, and chop bamboo.

Zhang Zhaohua couldn't bear it anymore, so she went to invite the grandmother who was keeping vigil outside while getting dressed, so she stopped talking again, saying that her head didn't hurt so much. But seeing that she still had to toss, lying on the bed and moaning, Lu poured water for her, but the water she drank also had requirements, neither a little cold, nor a scald. After such a night, everyone was depressed.

But this situation was quickly stopped, because it is said that three ladies were released in the "waste" room to go home, because there were palace maids who listened to the wall at night to see the sleeping appearance, and the three girls slept very poorly, so they failed the assessment and were sent away.

In this way, the Niu family was a little restrained, at least at night it was not tossed, but during the day it was even more tormented, and a few times Zhang Zhaohua saw her instructing the Tian family to boil water and wash her feet - she still wanted to call Zhang Zhaohua like this, Zhang Zhaohua naturally ignored her.

On the fourth day of living here, Zhang Zhaohua and 1,000 other ladies accepted the first round of selection - they were first divided into groups of 100 people, lined up according to their age, and then in front of each team stood two deacons and two palace maids, and the tall, short, fat and thin women in the team were selected and sent back to their hometowns.

Of course, it is natural for people who are obviously not good in height and weight to be selected, but there are times when there are objections. For example, in a team in front of Zhang Zhaohua, there is a woman who is very beautiful, but she is too tall, 1.7 meters, standing in the team is a feeling of standing out from the crowd, and her age is only fifteen years old - whether this woman stays or not, the opinions of the deacon and the palace maid are different.

In the end, Lao Shanggong saw it and said: "Stay, it's not uncommon for a seven-foot palace concubine." ”

This matter also spreads very quickly, in fact, the big and small things that happen every day are spread very quickly in this piece of world. Zhang Zhaohua has never seen the girl who is said to be seven feet tall, her height is about one meter sixty-one, fifteen years old is almost this height, she thinks that there is still the possibility of growing taller, but she is still a little envious of a woman who can grow to one meter seven, after all, she is so tall that she can stand up in any clothes.

As for what Mama said, she read history books and knew that there was a Queen Deng in the Eastern Han Dynasty, who was seven feet two inches tall, and when converted, she was about 1.72 meters.

After that selection, about 170 people were brushed off, but the four people in Zhang Zhaohua's room were all there, and everyone was standard in terms of height and weight.

After staying here for a longer time, Zhang Zhaohua can find that the main hall and main house of the Zhuwang Pavilion are actually inhabited, and there are many palace maids who serve them, and their food and clothing are different from the ladies who live in the row houses. She once thought that it was a noble person in the palace, but later learned that it was not, and it was the daughter of the Xungui family who lived inside.

To put it bluntly, this draft is a "joint election of the government and the people", the daughters of officials and nobles and the daughters of ordinary people are drafted together, as Zhang Zhaohua has always known, everything in the world has a high and low grade, and the treatment of these young ladies from large families is naturally different from those from small families.

For example, Zhang Zhaohua came out of her small family, and she had no background, so she poured the bucket by herself every day, took things by herself, and ate a big pot of rice, but those young ladies of all of them were busy serving each other, and they were also sent in with boxes for meals on weekdays.

And Zhang Zhaohua paid more attention to the fact that the young ladies of these official families had different backgrounds, and the accommodation arranged for them seemed to be worth pondering.

For example, in the main hall of the third gate and the left and right suites, it is said that the two daughters of Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, live in this draft, which is the highest in this draft, and in the two suites, there are the daughters of the commanding envoys.

The commander is the military command position of this dynasty, and he is the highest military commander at the first level of the guard, and he has the rank of three ranks. Therefore, the people living in the courtyard are also the daughters of high-ranking officials of the third grade, and because their father is a military general, they are all the daughters of the Marquis of Wuding.

This is naturally because Zhang Zhaohua can't afford to provoke people who are hiding, but Zhang Zhaohua does not see them as strong competitors. In fact, Zhang Zhaohua carefully calculated before coming, she thought that the previous princesses and concubines were all the daughters of the founding heroes, and judging from the emperor's increasing suspicion and slaughter of heroes in recent years, it is unlikely that he will choose the daughters of the Xungui family for the remaining sons.

Therefore, Zhang Zhaohua's opponent should be the daughters of civil officials who live in Sijin Yuan, their backgrounds are not very high, their fathers are low-level officials such as county orders, and there are also daughters or granddaughters of Qingliu ministers of Zhishi, among which the daughter of Ma Quan, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, is the head. Ma is a civil official from the fourth grade, Ma's background is not low, and he is also knowledgeable and reasonable, gentle and friendly, almost everyone who has seen her likes her very much, and the palace maids and grandmothers here also seem to love her very much.

What is even more surprising is that it seems that this kind of small group has not been stopped by the people in charge, so on weekdays, they sit in a group, meet in the middle of the garden, and the way of greeting and narrating is strange, there are high and low, affectionate, lukewarm, and even blind, Zhang Zhaohua is very eye-opening.

The open and secret battles and intrigues are actually right in front of you and around you.

For example, today, Zhang Zhaohua heard that a lady was sent away, she was the daughter of an ordinary family, but she didn't know what was going on, she collided with the daughter of a commanding envoy, was caught by the palace maid and hit the handboard, and then threw things out.

Zhang Zhaohua didn't believe that it was a simple collision, because she had seen this woman walking very close to the daughter of a civil official, and she also claimed to be a member of their group.
