There are quite a lot of people in the town today, and most of them are girls. It seems that all the girls in the town are out of the house. Su Qingni grabbed an aunt who looked kind and asked, "Auntie, is there something going on in the town?"

Seeing that Su Qingni was a little girl, the aunt became more kind, and said, "The little girl is not from the town, right? ”

"Palace maid?" Su Qingni blinked.

There was once a world dressed as a Goryeo countryman, and in order to make money, he carved many ancient Goryeo landmarks, so he is still somewhat familiar with ancient Goryeo. She knew about the system of selecting court maids in the Goryeo Imperial Palace.

The Goryeo Imperial Palace has a great demand for palace maids, so every year girls are recruited from the private sector to enter the palace, and the daughters of Zhongren and Baekding can sign up. The age of the girls who sign up is as young as five or six years old, and the maximum is not more than ten years old, and after entering the palace, they will start from the small palace maids, and they will have to receive a long time of training, and they can be promoted to the inner people, the upper praise inner people, the Shang Palace, the highest noble palace, and the promotion of the Shang Palace.

Su Qingni remembered a TV series "Da Changjin" that she watched a long time ago, and couldn't help but feel a little interested.

After thanking her aunt, Su Qingni walked towards the registration point.

It is said that the selected palace maids, their families will get a small but not a lot of money, so so many people want to send their daughters to be palace maids.

However, the palace maid does not mean that you can be if you want to be, although it is stipulated that Bai Ding and girls from Chinese families can sign up, but the recruits still have to be selected. If you don't look good, you naturally have to brush it down, otherwise you can't choose an ugly girl to enter the palace, isn't it the eyes of spicy nobles? Serving the nobles is a delicate job, people are too stupid, things can't be done well, what do you do when you put them into the palace? Empty the toilet? The person who pours the toilet bowl must be smart and know how to clean the toilet bowl so that the smell will not smoke the nobles.

After such a round of selection, less than one-tenth of the palace maids who were selected signed up.

Su Qingni watched from the side for a long time, and saw that the sun was setting in the west, before turning around and leaving and returning home.

The snake soup had already been eaten, and Su Qingni made a pot of gruel with the brown rice she bought, and put a lot of wild vegetables in it.

Su Qingling and Su Chengyuan went home, drinking porridge and chatting about recruiting palace maids.

The story had spread from the town to the nearby villages.

"I heard that after the registration is selected, the court will give the palace maid's family a sum of money. Su Qingling said, "It's a pity that I'm too old, otherwise I would have signed up." ”

After speaking, Su Qingling looked at Su Qingni.

My sister is just eight years old, so it's the right age!

Su Qingni raised her eyelids and said, "I'll sign up tomorrow." ”

"Great!" Su Qingling said with a smile, "Sister, if you enter the palace, you won't have to go hungry in the future, and your future will be guaranteed." The family can also have an extra amount of money, so that Chengyuan can continue to study. It's a win-win-win-win-win ”

Su Chengyuan also agreed with this decision. It is not a shame for sisters to go to the palace to be palace maids, some families will even send their daughters into the palace to be palace maids in every generation, and through the help of the family, the daughters who enter the palace will become high-ranking female officials, and the family can also use the power of the female official's name to bring more benefits to their families.

My sister is a palace maid is a thousand times stronger than my sister being a female branch girl. And Su Chengyuan actually wants to continue to study and become an official in his heart, his family was poor before, and he couldn't continue to study, but when his sister entered the palace, the family had money, and he was able to continue to study - when the palace maid entered the palace, she would give the family a settlement fee, and after entering the palace, the palace maid would have monthly money, and there was almost no money in the palace, and many palace maids would take the money home.

The next day, Su Qingling and Su Chengyuan did not go to work, and accompanied Su Qingni to the town to sign up.

Although the Su family is in decline, the ancestors are from the scholar family, which is stronger than other girls, and the original body is good-looking, the recruited officials immediately accepted Su Qingni and gave Su Qingling and Su Chengyuan a sum of money.

Su Qingling and Su Chengyuan took the money and left happily.

Su Qingni was taken to a room where there were already a few girls.

The girls didn't get together to talk and play or anything, they all sat obediently against the wall. Su Qingni came in, and these girls only glanced at it, and then withdrew their gaze.

Su Qingni also found a place to sit down, closed her eyes, and pretended to sleep.

At noon, someone brought food, and the girls came up to eat, and then they talked in a whisper.

However, I only asked for other people's names, and I didn't say anything if I had any extra words. Everyone was flustered, and there was no interest in speaking.

When it was almost evening, two girls came in. The little girl was only five or six years old, crying because she was separated from her family, and the other girl was eight or nine years old, and she should be the little girl's sister, comforting the little girl in a whisper.

The little girl was not comforted, and cried: "I miss my father and mother, I want to go home." ”

This sentence touched the hearts of all the girls in the room, and their eyes turned red and they began to cry quietly.

In the whole room, only Su Qingni didn't cry.

The crying came out of the house, and after a while, footsteps were heard outside, and then someone pulled the door open and shouted: "What are you crying for? Whoever cries again will not be allowed to eat tonight." ”

All the girls were frightened, even the youngest girl was covered by her own sister with her hand, so that she could not make a sound.

The one who scolded everyone was a woman in a blue dress, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, who looked fierce. The woman who followed behind her was also wearing a dress of the same color, about the same age as her, and she was not as good-looking as the woman in front of her, but her expression was kind, looking at the four good-tempered people.

At this time, the woman in the back spoke: "Pu Neiren is for your good, you can't cry again in the palace." If you are seen crying by nobles and your mood is affected, you will be punished. ”

Although the girls were not very old, except for the youngest one, they were all sensible and understood the meaning of the woman's words, and they were all frightened, and quickly raised their hands to wipe away their tears with their sleeves.

The two women who came in were satisfied.

Pu Neiren snorted coldly and said, "Bypass you today, and next time you do it again, you will hit each of you ten times in the palm of your hand." ”

The girls should be very well-behaved.

Only then did Park Neiren open his mouth to introduce himself: "My name is Pu Xinmei, a good insider, and I will teach you the etiquette of the palace." ”
