Chapter 57: The primary selection of the palace maid
The government posted an official document, which was the news issued by the imperial court to recruit palace maids. The scope of this recruitment of palace maids is unprecedentedly huge, because the emperor is merciful and has released a large number of palace maids out of the palace, and naturally needs to supplement a batch of palace maids into the palace, so a certain number of palace maids must be recruited from all over the country and sent to the palace.
Of course, the selection will be reviewed later, but the selection of palace maids is not strict, so basically the possibility of being brushed down is very small, unless there is really something wrong, but if it is really like that, it will be brushed down by local officials when it is recruited at the first level.
The scope of the recruitment of palace maids is in the area where the drought occurred last year, which is a gift, which makes many girls in those areas to sign up, after all, to go to the palace as a palace maid, although it is very likely to be punished and killed, but it is better than being poor and starving to death now, and there are a lot of moon silver when the palace maid is born, and there are some reward subsidies, such a good thing, naturally there are many people who want to come.
It's a pity that only a few people know the inside story of recruiting palace maids this time, so although many other ordinary palace maids will be recruited, these people are just foils for the shadow guards, and they are recruited in order to keep the affairs of the shadow guards secret.
Of course, the specific reason is that the daughters of these poor families don't care, they only care about whether they can be selected, whether they can really have the money to take home.
It didn't take long for the official document to be posted to the nearest town in Chenjia Village, after all, there are also a lot of cultivated shadow guards here, and naturally they will not be let go, so some villagers who went to the town saw those gathered people by chance, and they heard such news, this news is really exciting, the palace, how can such a place be entered casually, and now there is a chance to let the daughter enter, and you can get a lot of silver, although the daughter can only come out at the age of twenty-five, but the identity is different, can still marry a good family, or with what you learned in the palace, it is enough to live outside.
Many grandmothers who come out of the palace, or those palace maids who have no relatives to support, are by teaching the rules of the ladies outside the palace, or making spices, rouge, creating gold and silver jewelry, embroidery, sewing clothes, etc.
The news of the government's primary election of palace maids spread in Chenjia Village, so that people with daughters are very excited, even Chen Yu's father and mother are very moved, and want to send their daughters to participate in the primary election of palace maids, after all, so many people go to the selection, and they may not be able to be selected, several daughters go together, so that the opportunity is big, as long as a daughter is selected, then it is a good thing.
Chen Yu and the others naturally heard the news, and a few people exchanged glances, and finally came, what the master said before, it seems that it is time to enter the palace, but the road ahead is slim, and I really don't know what kind of situation will be encountered after entering the palace.
However, Chen Yu noticed that when the local government registered, a preliminary selection would be conducted, so it seemed that it would not necessarily be selected, but thinking of the firm words of the person who taught them before, he knew that this selection was probably also boring, so it seems that as long as it is the other party's people, they will be selected, as for whether they will want other people, it will definitely be, otherwise, isn't it too conspicuous.
Originally, Chen Yu and the others would definitely be selected, but unfortunately Chen Yu deleted the memory of the secret guard, and their list was not reported, so there is a high possibility of failure. This is contrary to Chen Yu's original idea, if he is chosen, it will be a trouble for his sisters not to be selected, and if he is not chosen, his sisters are chosen, it will be even more of a trouble.
Of course, Chen Yu didn't regret what he did at the beginning, after all, Chen Yu was also for safety reasons, but Chen Yu didn't know that there were so many people who signed up to choose palace maids, and now it seems that the possibility of elimination is too great. However, Chen Yu has high mental power, and it is still very easy to influence a person, so it's a big deal that Chen Yu cheats.
"Big girl, second girl, the age of the two of you meets the requirements, tomorrow I will take you to the town, to sign up for the palace maid, if you can enter the palace, but the glory of a lifetime, to be able to get close to the masters, and to get a rich moon silver, if there was also a selection of palace maids back then, I would definitely go, but unfortunately there was not." Wang Guihua said with some regret.
In fact, only Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu really meet the age requirements, but Chen Yu is also going to go, so he said to his mother: "Mother, I want to go too, I chose the palace maid this year, I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future, if you change the age, you can modify it, anyway, looking at my appearance, it is ten years old, and no one doubts it." ”
Chen Yu has always eaten very well and naturally looks good, so what Chen Yu said, Chen Yu's father and mother agreed very much, but they were a little afraid, if they changed their age and were found out, it would be bad. But what the youngest daughter said is also very reasonable, this opportunity was missed, who knows if there will be a next time. Although Chen Yu knew that there would definitely be a next time, Chen Yu's parents didn't know.
In the end, Chen Yu's mother gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, I'll change your birthday, Xiaoyu will be the third in the family in the future, don't call it wrong even in the family." ”
In fact, Chen Yu is like a big sister many times, so her mother's decision, as the only Chen Xiaohua who has changed her order, has no opinion.
"Since this has been decided, then you guys will get up early tomorrow, put on new clothes, and we will go to the town to sign up and participate in the selection." Wang Guihua said.
The selection of palace maids because there are many fewer people than those who sign up, so the original scheduled registration is selected together, and it is changed to the first audition, brushing the next batch of people who are not good-looking, disabled, ill, and weak, and then the remaining people will participate in the next round of assessment in a unified manner.
If you are younger, you need to be a little looser, as long as you are smart enough, or as long as you are honest, you can participate in the next round of selection, and if you are older, you need to have a skill, after all, you are old, and after being cultivated in the palace, it will not take a few years to leave the palace, which is too cost-effective.
Of course, the most important point is that when comforting and raising children, the age of choice is on the young side. Of course, no matter how old you are, you won't be more than fifteen years old, after all, girls around fifteen years old should be married, even if they are not married, they should be married.
The audition is naturally at the time of registration, and the registration personnel to grasp, and the appearance of Chen Yu's three sisters, naturally is clear, seven days later, they came to the town to participate in the next round of selection, if they are selected, then go home to pack their things, everyone can bring a burden, and then they can be sent to the palace to participate in the final selection.
