Chapter 2: The Beginning of the Draft
Time was fast, 3 months passed. There was still more than half a month before the draft, and the old lady suddenly recruited Liu Ruyue to talk. As soon as Liu Ruyue entered the house, she found that there were already several people waiting in the house. They are the eldest miss Liu Ruyu, the third miss Liu Rufang, the fourth miss Liu Ruxue, and the fifth miss Liu Rurui.
When Liu Ruyu saw Liu Ruyue coming in, she hid her face and smiled: "My sister is really slow, let's wait for a room of people." ”
Liu Ruyue knew that this was a special late transmission of Hongchun, and she enjoyed these little stumbling blocks, and she didn't bother to pay attention to these people. The old lady frowned when she saw this, expressing her displeasure. But at the thought of marrying after the draft, the benefits that Liufu got eased a little.
"Say hello to Grandmother."
"Hmm. In the future, you can't marry in Jiafu anymore so unruly, you represent the face of Liufu, and it is a love for you to indulge you in the past few years, you have to know how to be grateful. ”
After the old lady finished speaking, she beckoned to Liu Ruyu: "Yu'er, my poor good granddaughter." There is also a small half moon that is the day of the draft, and you are only to blame for your shallow blessings. ”
Liu Ruyu stepped forward with a sad face: "Grandmother, this is Yu'er's life." ”
"I have already made a good family agreement with your mother, and I will not wronged you." The old lady patted Liu Ruyu's thin hand, and turned to the youngest fifth lady to encourage her: "Rui'er will work hard in the future, and in the new round of draft in 3 years, she will win glory for Liufu." ”
Liu Rurui happily stepped forward and rubbed: "Rui'er will definitely not live up to her grandmother's expectations." ”
At this time, the old lady regained her seriousness: "I called you here today for the draft in half a month." Family members of officials above the sixth-rank level who are suitable for the draft age must participate. Sister Fang'er and Sister Xue'er are not young, I wanted to find you a good husband in the past two years, but now it is your blessing to catch up with the draft. ”
"We are where we are today thanks to my grandmother's careful upbringing.
"Today I have specially invited Su Mo to teach you some rules. Mama Su used to be an errand in the palace, and with her help, the chance of being selected is a little greater. ”
Liu Rufang and Liu Ruxue saluted happily: "Thank you grandmother, grandmother is kind to us, we will remember it for the rest of our lives." ”
"Hmm...... As for Sister Yue'er, the draft is just a passing scene for you, so Mama Su can't go. In the past few days, I have raised some bodies, married into Jiafu, and will have a son and a half daughter in the future. ”
Liu Ruyue looked at the old lady with a negative 20 favorability and sneered secretly, the old lady in front of her probably didn't plan to be selected at all. From another point of view, it is better to marry into Jiafu than to be elected to the palace. Although he is a concubine, he is also a child of the Hou Ye, which can be regarded as a high climb.
Liu Ruyu saw that Liu Ruyue was silent, and stroked Qingsi: "Sister Mo is not complaining about grandmother." Grandmother doesn't let you accept Mama Su's teaching with the third and fourth sisters because she cares about you, after all, your wedding date is after the draft, and you are afraid of getting tired. ”
The youngest Liu Rurui, that is, Liu Ruyu's own sister, also deliberately echoed when she saw this: "Yes, my sister should be grateful to her grandmother." ”
Liu Ruyue smiled faintly: "Thank you grandmother for your compassion." But many of the things of this world are unpredictable. If nothing happens, the granddaughter will retire first. ”
After Liu Ruyue retreated, the rest of the sisters also left, only the old lady and Rong's mother were there, and the house was suddenly quiet and terrifying.
'Bang! The cup fell to the ground, and the back of the old lady's hand, full of marks, showed its veins.
"She also knows that I am her grandmother! didn't look at his own appearance, and he still wanted to enter the palace. ”
The old lady was furious. After all, she is young, so let her be beautiful for a few more days, and she can't be selected in the draft, and she won't obediently listen to your marriage into Jiafu. ”
"Humph! If she doesn't listen, she has to marry. A few years ago, in order to get back the slave contract between Mother Liu and the maid, she made a big fuss, and she didn't have the demeanor of a concubine at all, as if our Liufu was harsh on her. ”
"Old lady, the old slave has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."
"Say."
"The second miss's mother went early, but her maternal relatives are always Master Taifu. If this is to let the other side know that you have promised her to the concubine of Jiafu......"
"If my relatives really wanted to take care of it, they would have taken care of it. At first, I thought that her mother was the daughter of a high-ranking family, and she married into Liufu to help some Fang Shen. I didn't expect that in the end, it was a money-losing goods, and he was kicked out of the house, and he pretended to be affectionate and made people shudder, and it was better to die early. ”
In the next few months, Luyin has rushed back from Daming Temple. Perhaps it is one of the benefits of crossing, after Liu Ruyue used the space spring water, not only did her body get better and better, but even her memory ability almost reached the point of unforgettable. And Liu's mother and Lu Yin entered the space after the favorability was 100 and used the spring water, but they only had a little physical performance, and the effect was not as good as Liu Ruyue.
On this day, the day of the draft has finally arrived, and the carriage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has long been waiting outside the Liufu.
"Three girls, please get in the car."
The carriage stepped forward, and in the carriage, Liu Ruyue carefully looked at Liu Rufang and Liu Ruxue, who were obviously carefully dressed up and dressed brightly, and looked like a good material.
The two people sitting opposite each other saw that Liu Ruyue was still dressed in plain white and blue, with light makeup and eyebrows, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Why doesn't my sister dress up well, it's so simple, what can I do if I lose my honor in the main hall when the time comes."
"What Sister Xue said is not right, the first day is only to inspect age, physical condition, whether she is innocent and so on. Sister Yue has always been frail, and it is still unknown whether she can pass this first level. ”
"It seems that the two younger sisters have been teaching Mama Su in the past few days, and their confidence has soared."
Both of them hid their faces and smiled, "Sister, don't worry, you're just passing through the motions." ”
After a few words, the carriage stopped.
"Three girls, the palace has arrived, please get off."
In front of the palace gate, it stands to reason that Liu Ruyue should get off the car first, but Liu Rufang and Liu Ruxue squeezed in front, and the three of them got off the carriage and got on the sedan chair. After walking for a long time, he finally stopped at Jinhua Palace.
After getting off the sedan chair and rewarding the eunuch who carried the sedan chair, the three of them entered the Jinhua Palace. Suddenly ushered in countless eyes, maybe several people were not the ladies in the circle, and soon the show girls in the hall talked to each other and ignored them.
Liu Rufang and Liu Ruxue secretly gritted their teeth, glanced at Liu Ruyue, who was simply dressed up, and left to talk to people in tacit understanding. Liu Ruyue also walked away and looked left and left in the group of women, listening to the news from time to time.
After a while, a little eunuch took out the roll call list and came out for roll call, and entered the side hall in groups of five for inspection. Everyone knows that this is the official start of the draft.
As there were fewer and fewer show girls in the hall, Liu Rufang and Liu Ruxue were both pointed. After waiting for a long time, it was Liu Ruyue's turn.
The group obediently followed the little eunuch into the side hall, and there were five small rooms separated by the screen in the side hall, and five grandmothers could be vaguely seen sitting in it.
According to the roll call, as soon as I entered, I was ordered to undress by the grandmother inside. Mama first took a closer look at Liu Ruyue, her posture was average, but there were no spots or potholes, her skin was obviously well maintained, and her facial features were clear.
Then with the gaze, Shougong Sand is still there, the body is well developed, although the skin has not reached the point of crystal jade, but the elasticity is good, and there are no scars or the like. If you take a look at your pulse, you can see that your body is very healthy.
"Alright, put on your clothes."
After the checking grandmother said lightly, she wrote some words on the rice paper, and led Liu Ruyue out of the small compartment to the chief eunuch and the housekeeper who were sitting on the side.
The housekeeper nodded at a glance: "You passed." ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, a maid came over and took her out through the other door.
