Since the emperor came and said those words, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief as if they had taken a reassuring pill. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The reason why Info Huazhi didn't want to go home was because she didn't want her stepmother to control her own destiny, and she didn't reveal to anyone from beginning to end that she was rewarded by the Queen Mother to Grandpa Guo, for fear that things would not work out and become a laughing stock. If you let go of your mouth and say it, you don't need anyone else, but these palace maids and sisters can eat a few of them. Then the stepmother would come to the door and ask for money endlessly. Marrying the ruler of the duke of the country, isn't the money in his pocket inexhaustible?

But why did Mr. Tian spend money for his stepmother? And then Huazhi's feeling is that Manager Tian doesn't like him at all, and people don't like it, even if he becomes a side room, he will be left out in the cold, and the future will be very difficult. If there is a steady stream of needlework in the house, he can support himself, and there is nothing without a man.

Hua Zhi likes colored beads very much, not only because of the beauty of colored beads, but also because of her modesty, gentleness and calmness. Although the two often see each other, they never dare to communicate with each other, and if possible, they will be sisters who serve a husband together. Huazhi knows that he is smaller than Caizhu, and should take the initiative to speak:

"Sister Caizhu, are you twenty years old?"

"Caizhu is just twenty years old this year, and it's the third birthday of the fourth month."

"Huazhi is seventeen years old this year, and on August 16's birthday, you are really Huazhi's sister."

Next to the finished face? Harudai pursed her lips disdainfully: "Sister Huazhi is the best at stammering people." ”

"What do I have to do with you? Isn't it your Ama Fourth Rank Official? ”“

Caizhu said with a smile: "They are all sisters from the palace, and it is also fate to come to Xuanwang's Mansion together." ”

Huazhi pouted: "People disdain to have a fate with Huazhi." Sister, which palace are you from? ”

"Caizhu was previously serving a noble little lord in Yanxi Palace. What house is my sister in? ”

"Huazhi has been in Cining Palace."

"Disrespectful, it turns out that my sister is from Cining Palace, how could she come to Xuanwang's Mansion?"

"Huazhi signed up voluntarily."

"Isn't Cining Palace the Queen Mother's bedroom? Aren't you talking to the Queen Mother with a lot of opportunities for promotion? "That's what Harudai said.

"After I finished talking Sister Yan, does it have anything to do with you if I stutter the Queen Mother? How can I have that qualification of yours? People are stupid. ”

"I see that you are not a smart person, you can only come to King Xuan's Mansion."

"Hey! You, have I offended you, I don't demean people. "The first impression that Xiaohuazhi gives to anyone is honest and honest, but in fact, nobody's no, it's that no one provokes her, and if she does, she doesn't take care of it, Huazhi won't be polite." You are smart, why did you come to King Xuan's mansion? ”

"Am I like you?"

"You have three heads and four legs?"

"You're still scolding, four-legged beasts. Look like you're like a piece of wood, it's amazing. ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."

Caizhu hurriedly persuaded the fight: "Okay, okay, don't say a few words." In the future, our sisters may ......"

"Don't think I don't know the details of you two. Caizhu: When you entered the palace, your father was still a six-rank martial artist, and later he was involved in a case of embezzlement of ink, and your father went insane, right? And then your sister-in-law wants to marry you to a Epilepsy, right? ”

"You! What nonsense are you talking about! Caizhu's face turned pale.

"Why am I talking nonsense? Do you think that the Queen Mother rewarded you to Grandpa Guo, and you are your aunt? Grandpa Guo is rare or not, and you are still talking. And you, Sister Huazhi, don't think that if you come out of Cining Palace, you are superior, you are a rag thrown out by the Queen Mother. ”

"You're a mad dog, biting people? Have I offended you? ”

"Offended is not offended, it is because I see you as too much of an eyesore, how do you see you grow into such virtue? Still want to get into the eyes of the grandfather? ”

"You! You! Huazhi was so angry that she couldn't even speak and ran out.

Or Caizhu was calm, and he didn't get angry or run, but said quietly: "Don't be too arrogant, who knows what will happen in the future?" How can you guarantee that Grandpa Guo will look at you? Or keep some virtue on your lips. After that, he went out.

Wan Yan was so angry that he stomped his feet.

After half a month of preparation and practice, the second talent competition kicked off. The talent contest includes needlework, embroidery, singing and dancing, musical instruments and cooking, and the competition is held on a small indoor stage in front. The other projects were carried out in the palace maid's residence, and the two hostesses of the house came to watch the performance. He was accompanied by guards, personal soldiers and little eunuchs, as well as the personal maids who served by the hostess's side. Yu'er and Shui'er were both pregnant, and they didn't come, it was Lan'er and Hui'er, who had already become relatives, who followed Yun'er. Naturally, Fujin was on the side of the mustache and bun, and the older Mama Zheng and Mama Liu did not come. Fujin looked at singing and dancing, musical instruments and cooking, while Yun'er looked at needlework and embroidery. All those who sign up can show their talents according to the order arranged by the two managers.

The Glong guards announced the rules of the game, and the maids and grandmothers began to bring out the best level they had learned. Mama Ku and Mama Sa didn't take it seriously at all, and thought that the needlework competition was for everyone to sit together and see whose needlework was fast. The result is that one person passes the test one by one.

Mama Ku and Mama Sa are the oldest and the most incompetent. I have been teaching people to learn the rules for most of my life, but I don't have any skills and specialties, and I can't say that I don't have them, and I can't ask for bribes one after another, but unfortunately I can't participate in the competition.

"Isn't that embarrassing? Yes? When I was in the palace, the emperor didn't ask everyone to learn a skill, right? Could it be that we have served our master for decades, and in the end we have to serve tea and pour water, run errands and learn because we have no ability? What are the rules? Ahh Mama Sakdasa was indignant. She always thought that those who came from the palace were superior to the maids in the house, and she never dreamed that she would leave the palace. She didn't sign up to come to the house voluntarily, she should have been kicked out of the palace by Su Moer. This Sakda has always walked sideways in the palace, and it also gave her a taste of the taste of not being able to eat.

There is also that Kuyala, who has been a teacher for many years, and I don't know how much silver money is scraped off the show girls, and she should also work.

The reason why the Han people Li Mama and Gong Mama entered the palace was that they sang well, and with the troupe entering the palace to perform, they were handsome and were left by the then Empress Zhezhe. It's a pity that they were neither fortunate by the emperor at the time, nor did they have the opportunity to sing again. In that big courtyard with red walls and yellow tiles, from a little girl to a half-grown old lady. He was in his forties, with no hope or illusion. Hum a few sentences of drama every day to pass the time, without a little whining and complaining, in their own words, this is fate.

Mama Sa's indignant voice continued: "Let me work to make money, I think it is beautiful!" The old lady has not worked in the palace for decades! Those little hooves who have only been in the palace for two or three years have taken all the good errands, relying on their youth to flatter in front of their masters, aren't we the ones who have been uprooted in heaven become dried turnips? ”

"I said, Sakda, where did you get all these whining? If you don't want to stay, hurry home! "You still think you're a piece of sweetbread?" Everybody has to honor you? The prince said, if you don't work, you won't eat. ”

"You little monkey cub, you want to bully the old lady and tiger when you see it fall in Pingyang? I'm not going to work, see what happens to you! ”

"Who are you scaring if you don't work? Roll up and leave, this is not a place for the elderly. Then get ready to go home, right? ”

"Eldest nephew, Gelong, you said you could go home? When I was in the palace, I taught Mama Xi, and this settling-in fee ......"

"The settling-in allowance for the older palace maids is twenty taels."

"Be considerate and considerate of Mama, give Mama a few hundred taels more."

"Beautiful you! Do you think that the house is made of silver? If you want to go home, sign up at Mama Ning, pack your luggage, and the car in the house will take you home, and those who don't want to go home will work obediently. ”

"Little Brother Gelong asks you, do the sons of the house need to raise grandma?"

"Shizi Gege has Chen Fujin's father Chen Changshi to teach, you don't need to work hard, don't bring it badly, teach it crookedly."

"I'm home, I'm home! This is not a place for people. ”

"Then hurry up and sign up to leave the house."

Mama Sa is just not used to going to a strange place, and the older people are less adaptable to the environment, in fact, she has already felt the pressure in the house as much as in the palace. But it's still hard to accept letting her do work to support herself. What if it's hard to accept? The food here is still very tasty, and when you leave the house, where can you eat such a ready-made, hot meal? Let's stay here. Mama Sa's heart is unbalanced, and the final realization is why not learn something while she is young.

Of the 300 older palace maids, only 12 of them asked to leave the palace, and they were all given relatives at home and were in a hurry to go home to get married. Other people are still waiting, they have heard that there are skills to learn, as the saying goes, "art is not pressing", there is a skill is one more job, so even if you are older, it is not at this time, it is serious to learn skills.

The first batch of twelve older palace maids to leave the palace had already packed their luggage, received the settling-in fee, and waited for the carriage to take them home. They have been longing to go home at this moment, they are in a very complicated mood, they also want to learn skills, but they are afraid of delaying their lifelong events. It's better to go home first, the home is better than this desolate palace.

Caizhu who can't go home is also very complicated, everyone is back to their parents, but unfortunately they are homeless. watched the twelve little sisters get into the carriage, giving gifts and admonishing each other in reluctance, with a sad look of life and death. Among them is her friend Xiang'er.

"Sister Caizhu, I can't bear you! You take care of me in the palace, otherwise I might be a white skeleton in a mass grave. Xiang'er hugged the colored beads and couldn't cry.

"Don't say that, hurry home and marry yourself. This is a pair of sachets that I have made in the past few days, so I will add a box to you. I can't go if you get married......"

"Sister Caizhu, you are a good person, and there will definitely be a good reward."

"Thank you for your good words, it's a good journey, you must take care of yourself, maybe we will have a chance to meet."

"Take care, too."

Caizhu's heart is very sad. The family still has a home to go back to, and Amma, Eniang, brothers and sisters can go to it, and she has been alone since then: her cousin came to the palace to find her, and because she was nervous and couldn't say anything, she told the main situation to the eunuch at the gate of the palace and asked him to tell him. It's not bad, the eunuch's father-in-law expressed the meaning of Caizhu's cousin, Caizhu's brother owed a lot of money to the creditor because of gambling, and was locked up by the creditor for several days and not allowed to go home. The father, who was in poor spirits, searched for his son everywhere, and at night he could not see the road clearly and fell into a dry well and fell to his death. The sister-in-law sold the beads to her cousin, who was the one who smoked epilepsy. There is also a good friend of my sister-in-law who is a lawyer, who knows that Caizhu is going home, and is salivating and waiting for Caizhu. This lawyer is a well-known villain in the capital, who can say that the dead are alive and the living are dead, and has created several unjust cases. If the beads fall on his hands, they will be ruined, so the beads must not go home. No one else can pit Caizhu's life with her sister-in-law. They didn't know that Caizhu had been rewarded by the Queen Mother to the grandfather of the country, and when they knew, they had to paste it up, and they became a leech like Huazhi's stepmother and sucked blood. But they didn't dare to come to the palace to make trouble, who didn't know that the guards in the palace were all kung fu masters, and it would be bad if they broke their arms and legs? So Caizhu is alone now, and she has no concept of home.

"When you get in the car, don't you all rush home? Why is this sticky? "Young Gelon didn't understand what girls were thinking.

"I said that you sisters and sisters, one by one, life and death, get in the car, I have to send you home one by one, and I have to come back, right?"

The carriage went away, and Caizhu's heart was empty.

Caizhu once served a noble little master, this little master is not high in grade but has a big temper, the emperor has only been fortunate once and there is no news, the little master is angry and hateful and not good at scolding, so he is angry with the palace maids around him. The colored beads were punished for kneeling in the rain and under the sun many times. He also poured freshly brewed hot tea on Caizhu's body. For a long time, the color beads were living on thin ice in trembling. was scolded by the little master as an incorrigible stupid pig and wood. Later, the little master's purse was lost, and it was said that the colored beads were stolen, and he was beaten ten boards for no reason, and he was almost paralyzed. How she wanted to get out of there immediately.

The day after the sisters left, eight needlework winners were selected, including Flower Branch. There are nine people in total. These nine people were taken to Yun'er by Mama Zheng in the Fujin room to train and learn cloth art, and they were trained as the teaching grandmother of Xuanwangfu. Nine hundred palace maids, nine teaching grandmothers, on average, each person has to teach a hundred people, this burden is still very heavy.

Huazhi didn't know what cloth was, so she asked Mama Zheng, and Mama Zheng said that it was delicate needlework.

Caizhu is very nervous, always feeling that she is old and stupid, and she is afraid that she will not be able to learn. But she doesn't want to give up this opportunity, so let's rush up.

Caizhu and the other nine little sisters were led into the Ruiwang Mansion by Mama Zheng and entered through the north gate of the mansion. The more you go, the more open your heart becomes. Some of the flowers here have already withered, but the flowers are gone, and the green leaves are still thriving. After Caizhu entered the house, she stayed in the Fujin Courtyard for a few days and stayed in the Suzhou mansion where Mr. Chen lived, and she had never been anywhere, and she didn't know that there was such a beautiful garden in the house.

The scenery is getting better and better, there is a delicate pagoda on the side of the hill, so many pavilions, pavilions, and a farmhouse courtyard, as well as a rainbow-like white marble nine-hole bridge......

Passing through a long arched gate, walking through a long alleyway, you came to a large courtyard. Mama Zheng said that this is Tong Fujin's bedroom, and many palace maids know that Tong Fujin is the wife of the prince and lives in the largest courtyard of the palace. (To be continued.) )
