"The two of you entered the palace for the draft this time, be careful, your sisters' blood is thicker than water, support each other, and our Lin Mansion will rely on you two sisters in the future." Lin Ming explained a few words to Lin Ruo and Lin Wan uneasily.
"Daddy, the daughters know, I hope that grandmother and mother don't care about us, if we choose, our daughters are not filial, and we can't be filial in front of our grandmothers, fathers, and mothers." Lin Ruo's posture is like fluttering, his eyes are full of tears, and his crying is moving, which makes people feel pity.
"Grandmother, father, mother, aunts, brothers and sisters, take care." After Lin Yun glanced at the third aunt and Brother Huan heavily, he got into the blue sky four-cornered glazed carriage without looking back.
When the carriage rushed forward, and Brother Huan'er's cry was heard intermittently in his ears, calling 'sister', Lin Yun's heartache was like tears falling from a knife.
As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, the red face is dry and the bones are dry, and the intrigue is slowly kicking off.

In the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty, on the second day of February, the day when the dragon raised its head, the emperor decreed that there were 13 to 17-year-old official women in the homes of officials from the ninth rank and down to the first grade.
Outside the Shunzhen Gate, there is a lot of traffic, and on the glass treasure cover of the exquisite carriages, there are flags planted one after another, writing his father's position and the name of the show girl.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please go to Chuxiu Palace with the miscellaneous family to participate in the first round of the draft." At this time, a man wearing eunuch clothes, wearing a hook jade hat, holding a white whisk of dust, said to all the show girls.
After the eunuch finished speaking, he shook the dust in his hand and walked towards Shunzhen Gate, and all the show girls saw this and followed closely.
After the chief eunuch led all the show girls to bring Chu Xiu Palace, he greeted the twenty eunuchs and said, "You guys are careful."
When the twenty eunuchs heard this, they said "yes" in their mouths.
Then, he walked over to the group of nuns and took a closer look, and pulled out those who were a little taller, a little shorter, a little fatter, and a little thinner.
The eunuch examined each girl with a very critical gaze, observed their appearance, and listened to the voices of the beautiful girls, hair, ears, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, jaw, shoulders, back, legs, feet, and sounds.
The eunuch took a ruler to measure the hands, arms, waists, legs, and feet of the show girls, and then ordered the show girls to walk a few steps, and those with poor demeanor and demeanor were all sent back to their hometowns.
There are more than 300 show girls, and it takes more than half a day to check like this, but in the first level, among the more than 300 show girls, most of the show girls are eliminated, and only about 80 show girls are left, which shows that the draft is extremely strict.
"Okay, let's go with the miscellaneous family for the rest of the show girls, stay in the palace today, and tomorrow there will be a grandmother to test the next level." After shaking off the dust in the hands of the chief eunuch, he took Lin Yun and others to the apse of Chuxiu Palace, and arranged for two show girls to live in a wing room one by one, and arranged a palace maid to serve all the show girls.
arranged to live with Lin Yun, coincidentally it was his own sister-in-law, Lin Ruo, in the previous life, Lin Yun and Lin Ruo drafted together and entered the harem, and they rose all the way, offended a lot of people, and the relationship between the two sisters was reversed, and the relationship between the two was not salty or light.
After Lin Wan hurriedly ate dinner, after only freshening up a little, he went to bed and didn't pay attention to Lin Ruolai.
Lin Ruo saw that Lin Yun was like this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, since Lin Yun fell into the water five years ago, he felt that Lin Yun was a little different, but he couldn't say anything specific.
Lin Ruo, who couldn't figure it out, didn't think about it anymore, he was nervous during the day, and his legs were sore after standing for a long time, so Lin Ruo also washed up a little, and then went to bed early like Lin Yun.
After Lin Ruo fell asleep and heard the sound of steady breathing, Lin Yun, who had already fallen asleep, opened a pair of black glass eyes in the dark night, her eyes were shining, she glanced at Lin Ruojuan's beautiful cheeks, and after turning her heart, she closed her eyes tightly, and gradually heard the sound of steady breathing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, a cup of tea time, please show girls to freshen up, after a cup of tea time, if there is no freshened show girl, will be eliminated, yesterday's sleeping posture was indecent, snoring, drooling show girl master read the name of today before the time out of the palace, washed show girl, in the side hall of the Chuxiu Palace gathered"
"Zhang Ran".
"Liu Xiu".
"Wang Ling".

The show girls who were eliminated by the name were sad and annoyed.
Lin Yun had experienced the draft in his previous life, and under the call of the grandmother, he got up and fetched water from the outside, and Lin Ruo on the opposite side was also worried, and when he got up, he was a little vague.
"Sister, hurry up, if it's late, I'll be sent home directly." After Lin Yun washed up, he twisted a handkerchief and handed it to Lin Ruo to wipe his face.
However, Lin Ruo was stunned when he saw Lin Yun like this.
Then, the palm of his hand was cold, and seeing Lin Yun handing the twisted handkerchief to himself, Lin Yun began to comb his hair, combed a double flying bun, and inserted an eight-treasure glazed hairpin in the middle, revealing a white and slender neck.
Lin Yun quickly wiped a little rouge on his face with both hands, moistened his lips, and then pulled Lin Ruo to the side hall of Chuxiu Palace.
When Lin Yun and Lin Ruo came to the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, they saw that there were more than ten or twenty show girls standing in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace.
Actually, what Lin Wan didn't know was that all the show girls who came before her slept in clothes, and they made water at night, so they only needed to tidy up their clothes and wash their faces a little this morning.
When Lin Ruo came back to his senses from Lin Yun's dress, he came directly to the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, and Lin Ruo's eyes flashed with a hint of housely discussion and glanced at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun gently pinched Lin Ruo's palm.
After a cup of tea, only a dozen show girls came one after another.
"Okay, when the time comes, if the other show girls haven't come yet, they will be eliminated, and then someone will send them out of the palace, and the little master of the show girl will come with the old slave." A grandmother in her fifties said.
Lin Wan saw that it was just one night, and nearly 20 of the original 80-year-old show girls were eliminated, and only about 60 show girls remained.
Lin Wan and the other show girls followed the eighteen bends of the Mama Mountain Road, turned left and right, and stopped outside the door of a small room.
When I looked up, I saw the vermilion door plaque with three big characters written on it.
"Sixty-five of you, lined up in a row, come out one and go in next, test your body today, whether you are qualified to serve the emperor, clear today's test, tomorrow the old slave will hand over the name, three days later, you will participate in the palace election." The grandmother said loudly to the show girls.
