Chapter 663: The Eight-Year-Old King (10)
At noon on the day of entering the palace, the palace maids received a notice that there would be a talent competition in ten days, and the competition items included six categories, such as needlework, musical instruments, chess, dance, calligraphy and painting, and cooking, and they would sign up for them at the Gelong guards. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the masters of the mansion should assign errands to these people and the palace maids according to their competition results. The older palace maids who want to leave can also sign up for the competition, and the results of the competition must be kept on file. Well, the news of a competition is like poking a hornet's nest, activating the excitement of some palace maids and girls, and they have to sign up in Gelong's office. Some people reported their cooking skills, but they were not sure about it, so they changed their needles and needles until the first three days of the competition. They still think how strict they are, but in fact, they are very relaxed: they can do it according to the sample, they can do it with their imagination, and they can do it in consultation with others, but they can't plagiarize.
Every project is carried out in a large office. Everyone gathered around a workbench, and the materials needed for the competition were ready-made, as long as they were completed within the specified time. Then put it in a pocket, write your name, bedroom number, and your own number, and you can submit the paper.
As soon as the grandmother left, the palace maids and girls heard the bell, and went out of the house and the courtyard in twos and threes, and when they came to the gate, they saw that a long iron rod with four edges was hung on a tree with a thick bowl, and a young man who looked like a guard was knocking with an iron rod thick with a thumb, and the sound was very good.
"Now follow me to the dining room. Today, Prince Rui and Prince Xuan are going to meet with everyone and have lunch together. The two princes are very kind people. I am a guard from the Rui Wang's Mansion, my name is Gelong, my surname is Shu Mulu, and I am also from the palace. Needless to say, men and women, stand in four rows and follow me, and don't make a loud noise. ”
Under the leadership of the guards of King Rui's Mansion, a team of 1,500 people came to the door of a courtyard house at the backest, and Gelong made a gesture, and everyone stopped. Gelong said: "The men go to the east house to eat, the sisters go to the west house, sit down and wait for a while, Lord Rui and Prince Xuan want to say a few words to everyone." Separate them now. So the two groups parted and went into the dining room, which was very large, and in the east room there were sixty tables, each of which could seat ten people. The Westinghouse was even bigger, with more than 90 dining tables. Each table can accommodate up to ten people. It's all benches.
The next day, Tian Liang brought someone to tie a clothesline to each yard. Women love to be clean, often wash and wash, there must be a place to dry, all the courtyards are quickly bolted, and a few nails are nailed in the room, with a kind of thing called a nail gun "Peng" then the nails are driven into a large piece of deep at once, so that it can be used to hang mirrors.
Each person was given a plush towel, a bar of soap and clear soap, a packet of laundry detergent, and a string of ten shampoos. At the same time, each palace maid has a bottle of body lotion, a bottle of hand polish, and an eyebrow pencil. Unexpectedly, each palace maid was also given a small plastic basket for needlework, which also contained a tray of steel needles, plastic edge flower supports, embroidery threads, patterns, and embroidery cloth. It is estimated that there will be no errands to do in a few days, so everyone will embroider first to stabilize their mood.
Colored beads and flower branches? Wanyan had seen Tian Liang, and when Tian Liang entered the hospital, they saw it, blushing and heartbeat, and didn't dare to raise their heads. However, Tian Liang didn't seem to see them, he left after he was busy, he didn't have to do things himself, he just said a few words to the soldiers who came with him, and taught them how to operate. The three of them were a little frustrated and regretful, in the end, it was the grandfather of the country who didn't take us as a dish. After thinking about it again, I was relieved, who is Grandpa Guo? Is it the brother-in-law of Prince Rui, and the uncle of Prince Xuan, is it okay for the emperor's relatives and relatives? Can you take the initiative to say hello to a few palace maids?
It's a hierarchical country, and many people go to great lengths to climb up the ranks. The guards in the Xuan Palace's Mansion are all close guards personally selected by the emperor, called the first-class guards with swords, and the second-class guards who walk in front of the emperor, all of whom are people with strong martial arts. The pro-soldiers are the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army, and when they are selected, they are not regarded as eliminated products that the emperor does not like, but try to choose those with strong martial arts and good character to send to the palace.
They came to the palace and felt very demoted, so their mood swings were very high. Especially the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army, who became the prince's own soldiers, were very unconvinced. What is a pro-soldier? In their eyes, it is the caretaker of the home. And when they come, they do hard work, which they have never done before. also complained to each other: "I said buddy, we are still like this, and if we do a good job in the palace, we can have a chance to be promoted, and we will become a family here." ”
"Hey, where are you not going to be a soldier and eat food. Anyway, it's a three-year period, and when it's over, I'll go to a new place to eat.
"Do you look at those pro-soldiers in Nanfu, do they seem to have kung fu? I heard my Ama say that they had to go out to drill every morning, and Lord Rui personally taught them kung fu. But they even have to do such work as loading, unloading, and moving bricks. ”
A few days later, the results of the exams were announced. colored beads; 1st place in the culinary category: Nalan? Ruolin; Chess Group: Gualga? MAN Ying; Instrumental Group: Fucha? Swan goose; Dance Group: Sojuro? Mingyan; Painting and calligraphy group: None
Out of the 900 people, five are outstanding, which can be regarded as one in a hundred. These people were summoned by Chen Fujin to talk to King Rui's mansion. Almost all the palace maids knew that Chen Fujin was the mother of Prince Xuan. Although I haven't met, when I was in the palace, it was like thunder. The first impression of meeting is beautiful, spirited, and free-spirited. Xuan Wangye's appearance is very similar to Eniang, both of them are double eyelid Danfeng eyes.
Yun'er met these talented talents in her own dormitory, and asked them to report their names and set their eyes on Caizhu. She knew the name, but no one had seen it yet. This is his brother's concubine, not bad, his eyes are very clean, and he doesn't have that kind of wandering and looking forward to Shenfei. A little shy, this is the common denominator of innocent girls.
After the salute, Yun'er will give you a seat.
"You will be your colleagues in the future, and it is also a kind of fate to be able to share the joys and sorrows with him when he started his business. You have passed the top of the exam, and you will be a leader in the project you are examining in the future. A few of you will first come to the inner house to learn some new skills from a few teachers, and then as the second generation of teachers, you will teach your partners the new skills you have learned, and the materials or equipment you need to make living materials are supplied by the government. ”
At this moment, Tian Liang came in and said to Yun'er: "Brother Ruiqian's fabric has been sold out, Nalan and I will send some over." ”
"Lord Steward, I found two pockets of silk scarves, and you can also bring them to the eldest brother."
"Yes, my subordinates will go to the hall to get it."
Several leaders didn't quite understand Tian Liang and Chen Fujin's casualness. Shui'er, who was standing beside Yun'er, said, "Manager Tian is our Chen Fujin's own brother. ”
"No wonder."
Early the next morning, Aunt Xi, the etiquette instructor of King Rui's Mansion, accompanied by two guards and two eunuchs, came to King Xuan's Mansion. Manager Tian summoned all the personnel of Xinfu to gather in an open space without wild grass, and told everyone that from now on, Aunt Ning will start to teach 900 palace maids to learn the rules of Xuanwangfu. After learning well, he will participate in fabric processing. The fabric products that have been made are sold in the agency store in the house, and the remuneration is paid according to the quota and quality.
"Everyone, be quiet! Listen to what the manager has to say. The duty of the guard brothers is to protect the safety of Lord Xuan and follow him on the trip. The brothers followed the prince to learn Shaolin kung fu. ”
Tian Liang continued: "Brothers, I know that you were all the emperor's royal guards before, and you were wearing yellow coats, which is very glorious. The emperor sent you to King Xuan's mansion, not to belittle you. Instead, they treat you as elites. As you know, my prince has been a monk for more than ten years, and it took ten years to learn kung fu in Shaolin Temple. None of the soldiers in the Rui Wangfu are the sons of the princes, they come to the palace to go through the prince's three-year kung fu training, and when they left the palace, they did not go home to pick up their children, they were all assigned to various barracks as martial arts instructors, and they were all official officers. Among the soldiers in the Rui Wangfu are the children of the emperor's ministers, the capable people drawn from various barracks, and the men in the families of higher positions, whose status is not necessarily lower than yours. Aren't you here with the same future as them? Did the emperor abandon you? I know that you are not convinced, it doesn't matter, if you are free, you will learn from the brothers in the house and see how inferior these soldiers are to you. ”
The news revealed by Tian Liang really made everyone too excited! No matter who it is, there is hope. Even the eunuch's father-in-law felt that it was more comfortable to breathe here than in the palace.
If you want to learn the rules, who of all these people doesn't know the rules of the palace? Take these palace maids as an example, those who are already proficient in moving, sitting and lying down have reached home. Let them learn the rules of the Xuan Palace, which is to suppress their arrogance from the palace. If you come from the palace, you are not a palace maid, you are an ordinary maid, you are a maid of King Xuan's mansion, and the identity of the palace maid is gone the moment you leave the palace.
Aunt Ning has served Prince Rui for many years, and she couldn't be clearer about the ideological dynamics of these palace maids in the palace. Don't look at her as if she is good-looking, it is not ambiguous to teach the rules, otherwise she will be soft-faced, who will take you seriously? It's been several years since I entered the Rui Palace, and I have trained batch after batch of new little girls who have entered the mansion, who doesn't admire Aunt Ning's relaxation and clear rewards and punishments?
Among the palace maids from the palace, there are four teaching grandmothers, two Han and two Manchu. Someone asked: Aren't all palace maids full? It's not absolute, these two Han grandmothers were young actors who followed the troupe into the palace to sing for the emperor and Huang Taiji at that time; Because Empress Zhezhe saw that they were very smart and clever, she left them, so that she could listen to them at any time to play a Kunqu opera.
The two Manchurian grandmothers are very unconvinced by this Ning Mama, can the grandma in the palace be compared with the grandma in the palace? The difference between cloud and mud! It is almost impossible for a woman who has served the prince to never go to the prince's bed.
They are palace maids who serve Huang Taiji, and they have never been involved with Huang Taiji at all, and they purely belong to the group of "white-headed palace maids say Xuanzong", but they still think that they are higher than this Aunt Ning. People who are used to fighting in the palace have a very strong fighting spirit, and on the first day, she wanted to give the palace a lesson.
The meat-faced Lady Kuya Laku stepped forward and blessed Aunt Ning: "The slave has seen Aunt Ning. I heard that Aunt Ning is from Shengjing and has served Lord Rui, I don't know what authority you, the aunt who served the prince, have to teach us a few grandmothers from the palace? ”
Aunt Ning smiled faintly and said unhurriedly: "This grandmother, I know that you are from the palace, but when you come to King Xuan's Mansion from the palace, your name will not be on the roster of the palace, and you will never return to the palace, right?" Then you are a person from Xuanwangfu, since you are a person from Xuanwangfu, you must abide by the rules of Xuanwangfu. I've served the prince, but not the kind of service you think. You haven't served Emperor Taizong either, have you? If not, my status will be higher than yours, and you will listen to my teachings, and if you do not listen to me, I will have the right to punish you. ”
"Shhh Aunt Ning, who seems to be gentle, is still very reasonable in her speech. Mama Ku has no words to refute it. Yes, I am now in one acre and three points of land in King Xuan's Mansion, not in the palace.
Aunt Ning ignored her and asked one of the guards beside her to read the rules of the Xuan Palace's palace to the palace maids. Of course, the rules of the palace cannot be the same as the rules in the palace, dozens of rules must not be like this, must not be like that, just remember and do it. The palace maids pricked up their ears and listened carefully, and the more they listened, the happier they became, although it was said that there were corporal punishments, such as beating boards, canes, whipping, etc., but there were many rules that said, how about it was done, how it was. The punishment was different from the previous one. Much lighter!
The palace maids understood and knew that the punishments mentioned first were all from the palaces, and the Rui Wangfu and the Xuan Wangfu were no exception, and the latter was the substantive rules of the Xuan Wangfu.
The eldest family breathed a sigh of relief: the days are really relaxed! As long as you do your part, you don't have to walk on thin ice and tremble. How many of these people were not beaten when they were in the palace? Punishment kneeling is commonplace, and it is even more terrible to be locked up somewhere, not a problem of hunger, but to go to that place where no one is likely to be silently wiped out. As for the monthly punishment, even if you don't punish it, you can't receive it completely, and half of what is deducted for the housekeeper's grandmother, and how much money can you have in your hand if you are filial to your master? Of course, if you serve the master well, there will be a reward, and the master will be happy, and whatever you will give you will be enough for you for a few years, but you may have to deal with it when.
Mama Ku didn't stir up trouble, and Mama Sakdasa came forward: "May I ask Aunt Ning, how many of us have to take care of a few people, right?" Otherwise, we haven't worked for decades in vain? ”
You can't tell me about this, I only teach the rules, and I am not responsible for assigning errands. Everyone memorizes all the government rules, the exams must be used, and those with excellent grades will be assigned errands first, and those who fail to pass will re-study the rules. Raise your hand for literacy. Okay, you literate sisters come here. Each of them is responsible for the twenty sisters reciting the rules, and you are the leader of these people. I'm here to give you your crew. “
Not to mention, Aunt Ning has a very good way of doing things, and she separates people by breaking them into pieces, and several teaching grandmothers from the palace have become team members. They were all sideways people in the palace, and now they were under the management of the youngest chief. (To be continued.) )
