When it came to the day of reading, the show girls arrived outside the main hall of reading, most of the show girls were dressed in the same way, only a few were eye-catching, especially the Guo Luo Luo, I saw her wearing a lilac flag dress, and the placket, sleeves and hem were embroidered with a simple butterfly pattern. ◢ Sui ◢ Dream ◢ Xiao ◢ said that although Щщш.suimeng.lā combed two small handfuls of hair like everyone else, the pink silk yarn flowers worn were dotted with crystal beads, and the crystal flower pendants on the ears and the colorful silk knot crystal pendants hung in front of the placket were all matching. The bottom of the flower pot is on the ground, the upper of the shoe is embroidered with butterflies, and on the two short tentacles, the small crystal beads are trembling step by step. The show girl next to her muttered, "It's really beautiful." Hajran nodded approvingly.

The show girls were led into the main hall, where the queen mother sat with her hands up, and below sat Tong Jia's concubine, the four heavenly kings of Kangxi's harem, Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, Concubine Yi and Concubine De, and they were the examiners this morning. The little girls stood in line, and this time it disrupted everyone's flags. Hajlan stood in the second row, and Yun Ying stood in the fourth. The Queen Mother looked at the little girls with a smile: "How watery! All of them are good-looking. The palace concubines echoed in unison.

The eunuchs read their names line by line, clicking one and listing one, and the palace concubines spoke along with the queen mother, but they had their own plans in their hearts, and they smiled both reservedly and kindly. Hajlan kept his eyes level, pinched the veil tightly, and saw that the Queen Mother's face was tense, hoping to give people the illusion of 'I am fair', suddenly relaxed, and then gave the Queen Mother a deepened smile. The moment Hajlan smiled at her, she smiled back with a big smile.

Concubine Tong glanced down, and then asked the Queen Mother: "Then start?" The Queen Mother nodded, signaling that she wanted to observe again. Concubine Tong said: "Under the red flag, Shu Mulu's clan." ”

A short and fat little girl came out of the ranks, and Concubine Yi twitched the corners of her mouth, this is definitely an unspoken rule. A few concubines have a pair of eyes, and they make a sign! Then a few more people who were not good-looking were put off the signs and led out by the eunuchs. Soon, all the show girls were roughly looked at by the Queen Mother and the ladies, and the ones who were really not good looked were put off.

Then came the examination of the female red, and everyone saluted and sat down at twenty small tables. Yun Ying, who was sitting on Hajilan's right, looked at her, she smiled, but saw the show girl sitting on the left, for some reason her clothes were wet, and she was a little wolf. Then a grandmother announced the exam questions and asked the show girls to do a needlework with the materials on the small table, with a time limit of one and a half hours. The eunuchs rushed in with the tables, and some of the stools came. The show girls sat down in order, and then the hair materials, a few pieces of cloth, a few balls of thread, needles, scissors...... Incense is inserted in the incense burner, and it is time to burn it.

Hajlan looked at it, there was a small piece of white cloth, a small piece of brocade, a small piece of red silk, and a number of colored silk threads, one wisp of black and white thread, and after thinking about it, he had an idea. Inadvertently looked to the right, and saw that Yun Ying had already moved quickly and began to embroider the pattern. Hajlan divided the brocade into several pieces according to the pattern, and then put it together into a butterfly shape, twisted the red silk into the same shape, and embroidered the pattern on the top with silk thread, and then sewed the two pieces of cloth together, turned them over, leaving only a hole at the top. Then she made a tassel with silk thread, tied a plum knot, twisted the remaining fabric into small pieces, and stuffed it into the "butterfly", until it was tightly plugged, then sewed the opening, added the tassel, and then used the red rope to tie a knot at the top, covering the thread, and by the way, it became a rope. An embroidery bag is ready, just enough to use up all the materials. She breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that half of them had already turned in their work. The queen mother was full of praise for everyone's needlework, and specially took out a peony embroidery, an embroidery bag and a goldfish luozi, saying that it was one of the best works, and laughed at Guo Luoluo, who made a goldfish luozi, maybe he could really jump the dragon gate. Then the Queen Mother added another question, the title is: Make a purse with a sandwich. This has pitted a lot of people! In recent years, it is normal for its women to embroider flowers and make purses. But sitting on this master, personally supervising, just did an embroidery work, this time the time limit is only half an hour, it is very difficult to do this more complicated process.

Hajlan looked at the time, first cut the purse, it was too late to do it carefully, so he used dim sum on the selection of fabrics, using the color difference of a few pieces of fabric, to spell out the pattern, which is much simpler than the embroidery of the purse. She is very familiar with sewing this, and she will sew it after a while, and then hang it up. Then I estimated the time and embroidered a little little flowers. It's done, there is still a little time, check whether there is an open thread again, and then cut the thread head. Sitting and not daring to look around, only glancing at the corner of his eye, Yun Ying, who has excellent embroidery, has done it very quickly, and has already done it to hand it in. And some others are not so lucky, this little time is not enough, and if they can make a good one, it will be considered a full grid. There are also female celebrities who have been eliminated if they don't do well, and they are really unsightly. The queen mother ignored others, but felt that Hajlan's purse was interesting, and she passed it on to the palace concubines. There was a little girl in red clothes who cried on the spot. She is good at embroidery, but she doesn't do it well, and her purse is also good, her hands and feet are very slow, and she shouldn't think about it. Concubine Hui frowned: "What kind of system?" "It's going to be a sign. On the contrary, Concubine De said softly: "Don't cry yet, say slowly, what's wrong with you?" I can't figure it out. ”

The little girl sobbed and stammered, "Minions, minions...... There are four older sisters in the family...... "Hajlan saw that she was not very gorgeously dressed, and it was estimated that her family background was not very good, so she could only rely on daily exercise. But the little girl is the youngest daughter, and she has been good-looking since she was a child, so she is naturally held in the palm of her hand. She doesn't have to do anything by herself, it's enough for her to do it with her sisters, and the female celebrity is very unskilled.

Concubine De was also speechless.

Pick up the sign!

……

There were more than 30 left, and the Queen Mother said something about the scene: "They are all good children." Concubine Tong nodded and said, "It's all a blessing." Concubine Yi smiled: "Isn't it blessed?" Concubine Rong kept looking at the show girl, but she didn't say much, but she kept patiently assessing. Concubine Tong finally said: "It's not too early, it's time for the Lord to go down, and I guess I'm going to come over to say hello to the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother said: "Yes, yes, it's all gone." So he let them go to lunch first.

This meal is not enough to eat at all, and every show girl is extraordinary. After eating, let everyone rest for a while and continue in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, everyone saluted together, the talent show began, the first trembling played a flute, but the concubines were frowning, followed by Guo Luoluo, she stepped forward to salute, there was already a palace maid on the piano, after sitting down in front of the piano, she took a deep breath, and then moved her fingers and began to play. When it was playing to a critical place, he heard a loud noise from above. It turned out that Concubine Hui suddenly put the tea bowl on the table. This was a trivial matter, but Guo Luo Luo had already been affected, and his subordinates were half a beat slower. When she glanced up and saw that she didn't seem to want to stop, her men continued to play. Thanks to her skillful piano skills, she was not greatly affected and soon returned to normal. The rest of the song played as well as before, and as soon as the piano was finished, she got up and saluted uprightly, and waited for the decision of the queen mother and those harem ladies.

The Queen Mother smiled: "This girl has excellent needlework and piano skills, and she is already outstanding." The ladies and ladies echoed one after another, and then asked the eunuch to leave the sign.

Hajlan saw the whole process just now, and it seemed that a palace maid was reporting something in Concubine Hui's ear, which made her lose her temper like this.

At this time, the voice of the eunuch came from the door: "The emperor has arrived!" And immediately they saluted.

After Kangxi sat down in the main seat, he said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, you can do whatever you want." ”

Having said that, how dare the concubines snub? I still accompanied and dedicated myself for a while before continuing to read.

The next thing is to play the piano. But this show girl picked a very difficult tune, and the technique was almost perfect, which was praised by Kangxi, the queen mother and the concubines. She had no place to be picky about her dress etiquette, so she passed the test smoothly.

Most of the subsequent show girl performances are just decent. Some of them made jokes. Some are too nervous and make more than a dozen mistakes when playing the piano; Some sang "hometown song" but broke the sound; Some dropped their shoes while dancing; Some are chanting poems but can't answer the allusions in the poems.

The top ones are happy to watch, although most people try to maintain their dignified image. But there are also people who laugh out loud without giving face.

A show girl recomposed a poem written by a certain Hanlin to praise the emperor a few years ago, and performed it with playing. Although the singing voice is immature, it has a different flavor when it is crisp and crisp. In addition, she has a lovely appearance, and she has won the favor of some concubines. Concubine Hui also smiled: "This child is pitiful, but it makes people happy when they see it." ”

Concubine Tong glanced at the emperor and the queen mother, and saw that she also showed appreciation, so she said to Concubine Hui: "Do you like it?" Then stay. The showgirl heard it below, just smiled shyly, and then stepped back.

There is also a show girl, but it is a different personality. Cheerful and laughing, because he is the youngest, he is also a little childish. She sang a long Mongolian tune, saying that she studied land with her father in the northwest in the past, and she liked the queen mother very much. Concubine Tong asked her about her family history and learned that her father had made great contributions to quelling Wang Fuchen's rebellion that year, so she left her a sign.

Hajlan wrote a word in a decent manner, and was asked by Kangxi about the "Pen Array Diagram". One question and one answer told a lot about calligraphy. Kangxi also asked other show girls, some of whom were excellent, such as Guo Luo Luo, some of whom stuttered a little, and some of whom couldn't answer. Kangxi didn't care either, there were always a few of them every time, it was too normal.

Gradually, the show girl also read it. After reading it, there is basically a conclusion, whether it is successful or not, there is rarely a repetition. Everyone returned to their quarters, ready to pack up and wait for news. A group of little girls are like prisoners who let go of the wind, the road is fine, and when they enter the Qixiang Gate, they can't hold back anymore. This one said, "Oh, my heart was about to jump out just now," and the other said, "You're all right, I don't think I had said it all." "Twitter.

When it was announced that the stay in the palace was over and everyone could go home and wait for the notice, Hajran was nervous during this time, and he was a little stupid. It wasn't until I got home that I was completely relaxed. And then it's time to wait for the results.
