Chapter 3 Indifference
Duanmu Yingming's eyes turned, and he had already taken everyone's eyes in his eyes, and said with a chuckle: "All the sisters are extraordinary, and they will definitely be favored by God in the future, and it is unknown that he will receive the throne of the first palace in the future." In the afternoon today, there will be an internal official who will come to advise where to advance and retreat tomorrow, and I hope we can all meet in the palace and support each other. β
Gu Panxi swept his sideburns, stroked an emerald jade bracelet on his snow-white wrist and said lazily: "We don't know, my sister must have a respectable position, I know that the concubine in the palace is quite sacred, and she is my sister's cousin, with her in the palace, my sister is not worried about progress, and my little sister will rely on my sister when she arrives." β
Mi Ruofu's delicate little face was full of surprise, and she opened her cherry red mouth wide with a three-point flattering smile: "It turns out that Sister Duanmu has this relationship, if the little sister is lucky to be selected, but you have to take care of it more, sister, I am the only sister who is the first to look forward." β
Duanmu Ying slapped Gu Panxi and scolded a lot, and couldn't help but show a little smug on her face, Gu Panxi's eyes rolled, but she said to Mo Lanyi, who was silent next to her: "Sister Mo, what do you think in your heart?" β
Mo Lanyi's white face flushed slightly, and she said in a low voice: "My little sister's family background is low, and I don't dare to be delusional, as long as I can be selected to be a little instrument, and let my father's face shine, I will be satisfied." β
Gu Panxi smiled tactfully: "Sister Mo, don't be too humble, your father is also the respect of a county, if it is compared to the family background, I am afraid there is even lower." Ran Dynasty for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall. The grass chicken also has the idea of becoming a phoenix, Sister Jin, don't you say? β
Zangjiao sighed in her heart, looked up at Gu Panxi, but saw that the corners of her mouth were full of smiles and charming, and a pair of apricot eyes glanced at her faintly, faintly revealing a hint of provocation.
After thinking for a while, he pursed his lips and responded with a shallow smile: "I remember that my father taught my younger brother that a gentleman does something and does not do something. If you have the heart, nothing can be done. If you are unintentional, even if you are rich and rich, you will not bow down. Xiaomei thought so. The old mother and young brother in the family, but they have to serve their parents on their knees, and they are in harmony, so they are satisfied. β
As soon as these words came out, Gu Panxi and Duanmuying showed surprise, and Mi Ruofu hurriedly said: "Listening to my sister's words, don't you want to enter the palace?" Why don't you discuss it early and avoid it? β
Zang Jiao said lightly: "The grace of heaven cannot be violated, and it is imperative to accept the decree, but the world is big, the noble lady of the high family, and the beautiful lady does not know the geometry." The father's official position is small, and Zangjiao is also the posture of Pu Liu, and the grand occasion of the national election is just a full number of orders, and he has never thought about it. β
As soon as her words came out, all the women present looked at each other, Duanmu Ying secretly thought to herself, although this is a little decadent, but it is not unreasonable, the emperor ruled nine mansions and eleven states, Wuhua Tianbao outstanding people, where there are not a few outstanding ladies, it is the state and the mansion, there are so many beautiful people, not to mention the whole country.
In the house, I often hear about the noble ladies who come and go, and the neighboring Qingzhou makes the daughter of the Jun family, Gu Han, beautiful in clothes, and poetry and painting. There is also the second daughter of the Zijia family in Pingchang County, Hanyang County, who is both smart and good at music and dance, all of whom are selected this time.
Not to mention Duanmu Ying's secret regret in her heart, the women present also have a general idea, Gu Panxi has always been a lazy and coquettish person, and she bowed her head and said nothing, with a little ridicule on her face. However, Mo Lanyi still sat silently with her eyebrows bowed and her head down, as if she was unmoved. The room was silent for a while, and the atmosphere was quite gloomy.
Fortunately, after a while, the curtain sounded outside, and Hu's mother hurried in to say that it was not early, and I was afraid that there would be a female official from the house who would come to teach later. Duanmu Ying hurriedly took advantage of this fork to send everyone away, and said with a smile that was disrespectful, and the sisters hurried to clean up before they solved this embarrassment.
Sure enough, around the time of Shen, two female officials came to the palace to lead a few palace mothers, and summoned everyone to the post house, and explained the time of entering the palace tomorrow, and the various selection regulations of the way to advance and retreat. Everyone remembered it, and Fang hurried away.
**************************************
The sky was dark, and a few copper lamps had been lit in Duanmuying's room, illuminating the room brightly. Duanmu Ying had already removed her makeup, wearing old homely clothes, her hair was scattered, and she was resting on the bed.
Mama Hu stood next to her and saw her lazy expression, so she asked: "The lady has been busy all day, but I am afraid that she is a little sleepy, how about the old slave call Banyun to come in and serve the girl and rest early?" β
Duanmu Ying waved her hand: "Don't worry, mom doesn't have to stand for a long time, sit and talk." You can help me refer to the details, these girls who came today, except for Panxi, are all people who don't know each other on weekdays, and now they are all selected people. Which one is better? β
Mama Hu is her nurse, she looks happy and refreshing, but she is very successful in her heart, and she is the first person to use around Duanmuying. Daughter Banxue is also a first-class girl next to Duanmuying, Duanmuying's affairs in the house are all taken care of by Mama Hu, and she has been kind to ordinary people since she was a child.
Besides, Mama Hu is a die-hard person, and she should only focus on Duanmuying, so the two usually don't shy away from answering correctly, so they sat on the footstool and said: "The old slave sees today's scene, but the lady regrets it a little?" Ben steadily suppressed a few waiters, and was a little embarrassed by the daughter of the Jin County Cheng family. β
In Mama Hu's words, Duanmu Ying nodded slightly: "What my mother said is exact, I wanted to use this to establish some prestige in advance, and I could win over some people to help, but now that Jin Zangjiao said lightly, I think it is a little Meng Lang, what does my mother think?" β
"According to the old slave's opinion," Mama Hu frowned and said, "Today, the old slave also took advantage of the situation to treat a few ladies, Gu Sanniang didn't mention it, the little lady of the Mi family seems to be innocent and young, but she is a little frivolous, and a little flattering."
The daughter of a military attachΓ©, her aunt is also the daughter of a merchant, although she is rich and noble, she is not well educated, and she is not worried. If selected, it will be low. The lady is only wary of her clinging around.
The appearance and behavior of the daughter of the Mo County Commander are ordinary, and she is silent and clumsy, such people either have no ability, or they have hidden scheming, and they care too much about their background, and it is difficult to become a climate, so they are not enough to worry.
But the lady of the Jin family, looking gentle and warm, her complexion is also superior, she is from the lowest background, but she is not humble or arrogant, and there is a lot of implication between her words that she does not want to enter the palace, and the old slave does not look like a fake.
It's just that now in the official election, if the lady meets her in the palace, it is better to win more, although it is a low position, there is more friendship to take care of peers. If you can use it, it's a human hand, if you don't need it, it's just a thing. β
Duanmu Ying listened to Mama Hu's understanding, nodded and said, "What Mom said is very true, only the golden lady has a saying, there are countless ladies in the country, even if you can't prevent it, today my move is not bad, in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, there must always be a few help, although my cousin is already one of the nine concubines, there are two virtuous concubines on the top, and the queen is a saint and a young man."
It's just because the official family doesn't have many heirs that the draft ceremony was held to recruit palace concubines. The court is forbidden, and I don't know how many can win the favor of the officials. β
After saying that, she sighed, she was a little lonely, and Mama Hu was secretly shocked in her heart, the lady has always been arrogant, and she regarded entering the palace as a pampered thing in her pocket. Now that the lady of the Jin family said a few words, she actually hesitated and was very frightening.
Hurriedly suppressed his throat and shouted: "The second lady must not be depressed!" You were smart and beautiful when you were young, and if you didn't have a draft, you would also be married to a high-ranking nobleman, and you would be honorable and glorious all your life. Now that there is a general election, the lady has to work hard, and the Bo official's family is favored and pampered. In addition, there is still a beautiful lady in the palace to help you, so you must not delay things by thinking nonsense. β
Duanmuying is also a smart person, but the girl in the boudoir once left home from the well, inevitably some gains and losses, Hu Mama also understood after a explanation, thinking that the road ahead is long, and she has time to plan slowly, but she is in love, so that her heart is much lighter, but she is no longer worried, and Hu Mama said some trivial things, half cloud and half snow to see that the night is deep, come in and ask for rest, it's just that.
