More than 300 selected show girls lived in the palace, and when the Chunxi Palace was closed, they lived in Shouchang Palace. Shouchang Palace is very large, more than enough, there is also a big garden, as the weather gets hot, when the girls are frolicking in the garden, it can really be said that people are more delicate than flowers.

A number of eunuchs came in carrying a green dragon white porcelain water tank, and at this time the show girls were not surprised, and one of them smiled shyly: "When I first came, I saw this jar full of melons and fruits, and I thought it was for food, but I didn't know that it was originally used for Qinxiang...... I don't know. ”

Qinglong white porcelain water tank contains all kinds of fresh melons, fruits and vegetables, put in the hall, there is a fresh fragrance of melons and fruits, these things are put on a day, then smell the fragrance of a day, and then be divided and eaten, this is called Qinxiang. There are too many nobles in the palace, and the fragrances they love and hate are different, and they don't know what kind of incense they use to offend the nobles, so they use this method, which is foolproof.

"Uninformed" It is said that these folk show girls have entered the palace since the portrayal, at the beginning, everyone grate their hair, point potions, wash from top to bottom, and then as there are fewer and fewer people, the rich life of the palace seems to be more and more shown, all kinds of clothes and satin, all kinds of palace snacks, one or two months are almost the same, these show girls are not poor, and even two of them are from the house, at the beginning they were also proud, because everyone saw rare things, they all went to ask them, and then they couldn't say anything。

Waiting for the Shang Gong in the palace to select them, the treatment of three hundred people seems to have gone up a notch, and there are no longer strict grandmothers to scold them, most of them are soft-spoken, but there are too many things to learn, from morning to night, not only learn makeup, eyebrows, powder, lips, but also learn to play chess, play double land, pitching pots, they are dazzled, but also heard a few grandmothers privately say that their show girls this year are not as good as the front, how to pull the general in the short man.

At first, they were very scared, because they heard that there was still an exam, and if they didn't do well, they would be whipped, and even have to leave. They trembled and learned, but they found that they were actually similar to each other, and the show girls who said that they could recognize words couldn't recognize a few words, and even fewer had read books, so that the female history gentlemen who came to teach them always looked tormented.

If they don't study well, the punishment they should have not befallen them, because there are too many people who have been punished, and they don't take exams, people's hearts gradually float, and they are not so quiet in class, and they seem to be let go of small words with one eye closed.

It seems that this was not the case in the past, Hu Shanxiang thought vaguely, she had heard two grandmothers whispering, saying that this year's draft was based on the emperor's words, and he was not in Germany.

She has heard this more than once, and her father, Master Hu, often said this, just staring at her female red, she has a good needlework.

"Jining Hu Shanxiang-" Someone called her: "Your sister is here!"

Hu Shanxiang hurriedly answered, looked over, and sure enough, when he saw that it was the eldest sister Hu Shanwei, he couldn't help but be happy, and greeted him in the envious eyes of everyone.

Hu Shanxiang's home is in Shandong, her husband has three girls at home, and she has her younger brother, Hu Shanwei is the eldest sister, Hu Shanxiang is the second, and the difference between the sisters is fourteen years old, for the memory of this sister, only she still has some impressions, and the other younger brothers and sisters have not seen this sister, because Hu Shanwei was drafted into the palace as early as the Hongwu period, and now it is a very useful Shang Palace in the Yongning Palace of Wang Guifei.

When the family sent the eldest sister to the draft, there was no one to be returned, only said that it was selected as a palace person, the family sighed for a while, Master Hu only sighed that he could not jump out of a golden phoenix in his family, and when her mother gave birth to a girl, she was treated coldly, and the concubines and concubines of the big landlord Hu Ye came out like spring shoots.

But what I never expected was that this time for the grandson draft, Master Hu moved his mind again, and wanted to seek the same wealth again, so he sent her Hu Shanxiang to the palace. And her eldest sister's attitude was even more strange, at first she heard that she was going to be sent to the palace, but she resolutely disagreed, and the eunuch was also dragged with a message, but she didn't know what was going on, Hu Shanwei suddenly changed her attitude again, and couldn't wait to let her run for election.

Hu Shanxiang still entered the palace in the end, it is different for someone to take care of it and no one to take care of it, because of the existence of Hu Shanwei's sister, and this sister happens to be the confidant Shanggong next to Wang Guifei, and the palace people of all sizes and even the grandmother and female officials also recognize her, politely, sometimes the same thing, she also gets more, and there is no trace of difficulty.

"These days are alternating between hot and cold," Hu Shan probed her up and down: "Don't sit on that bluestone slab, I don't know if I'm cold!"

Nanjing is so weird, sometimes a rain falls, inexplicably clammy and cold, easy to catch a cold, sometimes the sun comes out, and it is too hot to stand it. Hu Shanxiang was pulled into the house by Hu Shanwei, and the palace people with eyes had already poured walnut dew for them, which was fragrant and mellow, and everyone was comfortable with it.

"I brought hosta powder," Hu Shanwei said: "I used too much goose egg powder, and my face looks old, if you don't use it, just use this one I gave you." ”

"Big sister," Hu Shanxiang asked cautiously, "You usually serve the concubine at this time, why do you have time to come to see me today?"

Hu Shanxiang, as a Dashang Palace, is also very busy on weekdays, but today she rushed over while listening to the play in the concubine, but she didn't just bring a few boxes of hosta powder to Hu Shanxiang.

"Is there an extra copy of "Internal Training" in the four books you have studied?" Hu Shanwei stared at her.

"Yes," Hu Shanxiang said, "It was written by Empress Renxiao, and Mama has been teaching us." ”

"The Four Books of Women" is a must-learn book, and there is also a "Internal Training", which is explained by the grandmother and female officials every day, in fact, Hu Shanxiang is not very able to distinguish the difference between this book and the book, these books are all to let people know the duty of being a woman, what can be done, what can not be done, she can understand the truth here, and she can be careful.

Hu Shanwei asked her what she had learned, and said, "It was Mama Cheng who told you the book, how did she speak?"

Hu Shanxiang didn't dare to say that he didn't listen much in class, but said: "It's very good...... But I don't get into school very much. ”

Hu Shanwei seemed to understand a little, her brows furrowed, but she quickly let go again, revealing a strange look: "It's enough for you to recognize those words, don't read the books next to you, from now on only read one copy of "Internal Training", I will ask a female history to open a small stove for you, you must study carefully, and you must memorize it for me." ”

Hu Shanxiang responded in a low voice, but heard Hu Shanwei say: "There is another thing I want to say to you...... Eunuch Huang Yan, I married a vegetable household, he galloped to our house and made you a great ......"

Hu Shanxiang's eyes gradually widened, his face turned red, and he couldn't speak: "Big sister, how can you say this? I have never seen ...... and no one has seen me."

What Hu Shanwei said was really appalling, and people like Hu Shanxiang who were short-sighted were all frozen. It turned out that Huang Yan went to the Hu family in Jining and sealed the small building where Hu Shanxiang lived alone on weekdays, saying that it was this small building.

Hu Shanwei slightly exposed the bottom, so that Hu Shanxiang does not know nothing, as the right-hand man of the draft, she has long known that the emperor used Qin Tianjian's assertion to choose a concubine for the grandson, and Qin Tianjian pointed out that the concubine is between Jishui, among which Jining is the most - Hu Shanwei has used the means to brush down another show girl in Jining, and now only her own sister is left.

"What do you know," Hu Shanwei said: "Of course you don't know, it's all said by others, isn't it......? Isn't that what Zhou Dian said......"

"Don't let me live up to my hard work," Hu Shanwei stared at her: "Good sister, you not only have to be selected, but also be the princess, and you will be rich and noble in the future!"
