Chapter 12: Encounter Again
"It's the ninth and eighteenth levels, in addition to the queen's mother, there is also a kind of woman, they are also the most women in the palace, they are called Tsing Yi, there is no grade in the body, in the past, there were still some subordinate jobs in the palace, but they will also be lucky by the emperor."
Angel nodded after hearing this, this is similar to the so-called students in the Qing Dynasty, they are generally subordinates, they are the masters when they serve the emperor, and they are thrown aside by the emperor after they are old and decrepit, such people often become the saddest type of people in the palace, they are just toys for the masters in the palace, but there are still many people, holding the heart that they can be promoted to a fluke, and they continue to rush forward and back to please the emperor.
"There should be a lot of such women!" Angel is very curious about the number of concubines, and they all say that wives are not as good as concubines, concubines are better than stealing, and stealing is better than stealing.
"The slave is just a slave, this kind of master's affairs are not very clear, and only the queen is more aware of this palace." Mama Jin's language dodge, maybe she really doesn't know, maybe she does, she just doesn't want to tell Angel.
Angel smiled after hearing this, played with the handkerchief in her hand, according to a note from the head of the Internal Affairs Office in the first month of the 54th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty: "In the 46th year of Kangxi, there were sixteen lords of the Qianqing Palace, and ten people were promised. Jingyang Palace promised forty-seven people and twenty-eight people. , Yuqing Palace has three lords, seven big promises, and twenty-two small promises. Forty-one people were promised in the office. There are 38 students. A year's palace is divided into cases and other items, and a total of 3,798 taels of silver is required. Judging from this recital, in the 46th year of Kangxi, there were more than 200 people in the Qianqing Palace, Jingyang Palace, and Yuqing Palace alone.
In the days that followed, Angel was more leisurely, and the palace rules and etiquette that should be learned had been learned as early as in the previous life, and on weekdays, she chatted with Mama Jin, and then talked about several ladies in the palace.
Under normal circumstances, Angel is holding a book and is crooked on the kang, looking like she doesn't know how leisurely she is, which is hard to serve Angel's maids, according to the rules, the general maids enter the palace to learn the rules, but most of them are mainly based on the sisters in the family, and the girls are often only one attached.
But when it came to Angel, it seemed to be completely reversed, Angel's etiquette was not picky, Mama Jin could only put all her experience on the two girls beside Angel, and began to desperately hand over their palace rules and etiquette, for which Bing'er and Shuang'er often looked at Angel sadly, as if she had done something angry and resentful.
The etiquette of the daughter of the An family has been almost learned, and there are still seven days to enter the palace, but the British government sent a letter, asking An Ruozhi to take a few daughters back to live for a few days, so that it is the child of the An family, the great-great-grandson of the British government.
No matter how unwilling An Ruozhi is, he can't violate the face, the British family also has a daughter of the right age to be selected into the palace this time, but it is just a Baolin, An Ruozhi does not have much feeling, the British government has already begun to fall, the highest in this generation is a four-grade idle job, and the selected is still a concubine, from the seven-grade Baolin is completely royal Looking at this signboard of the British government, if you change the usual, it will be at most a Mo waiting.
An Ruozhi wrote a letter to inform him that two days later, he went to the British Mansion with his daughter at home, and asked Nalan June to take Angel to Huguo Temple.
Huguo Temple has a total of 9,999 steps, and it is a royal temple, and the presiding master is a master who can know the past and the future, and the people who come here are naturally endless.
Facing the Buddha with kind eyebrows, Angel bowed down and folded her hands, she didn't believe in Buddhism, but she had a belief in the moment when the future was confused, maybe it was not a bad thing, shaking the bamboo tube in her hand, and a sign fell on the ground.
Angel is very slim in the face of the sign in her hand, she does not believe in Buddhism, and it is particularly unrealistic to pin all things on ethereal things, but I hope that this sign will not be able to untie it for a lifetime.
The little Mass walked over with a rosary wrapped in his hand: "The donor, but you want to untie the sign?" ”
Angel shook her head, "Still don't come, some things are not all known to be happy, I don't understand this sign for the time being, just take it as a thought." ”
After hearing this, the little Mass recited a sentence of Amitabha, "The donor is a woman who is about to enter the palace at the age of fifteen?" ”
"How do you know?" Xiao Mass's words made Nalan June, who was watching from the sidelines, a little puzzled, just seeing Angel not unsigning, he knew so many things, could it be that he was also an extralegal master.
Little Mass shook his head, "The presiding officer once came here to tell me that if a woman who is fifteen or sixteen years old and does not want to release the visa and is about to enter the palace comes here, she will inevitably introduce her family to see her. ”
The so-called host is probably the master of the dust here, the master of the dust is an extralegal master, so it is not a strange thing, but the surrounding women looked at Nalan June's eyes and looked a little jealous, most of the people who came here are good men and women, and they have extravagant expectations for the Buddha, and they hope that the master of the dust can inform them of the future and solve problems for them.
Angel said to Nalan June, "Mother, Qi'er wants to go to the back mountain for a walk, the rainy season in April has just passed, and the mushrooms in the back mountain are just ripe, Ruoxi wants to pick some and go back to her father to taste." ”
Angel is very fond of matsutake mushrooms here, Hukokuji Temple is connected to a primeval forest, and the high yield of a precious ingredient in the 21st century is matsutake mushrooms, a slightly better matsutake mushroom costs 80 yuan when it is purchased, and when it is processed, it will appear in supermarkets in Tokyo for 1,600 yuan.
Angel of Girlhood has also been to Huguo Temple, she can't wait to do this natural food when she sees it, she is not qualified to eat this precious food every day in her previous life, and now she can't wait to drool when she sees so much, and every time she comes to Huguo Temple, she can't wait to hollow out the whole mountain.
Nalan June patted the back of Angel's hand, "Then you be careful!" ”
Angel nodded obediently, borrowed a basket from Huguo Temple, and pulled the two maids Bing'er and Shuang'er to the back mountain.
It rains a lot in the mountains and forests, and all kinds of mushrooms have long since broken through the soil, but these can't attract Angel's attention, what she is looking for is a magical fungus standing in the soil, it usually grows in the pine needles in the soil layer, and it is completely up to luck to find this elf-like food.
"Miss, we've been looking for a lot, so much is enough for us to eat, can we rest first?" After walking for half a day, there were already a lot of matsutake mushrooms in the basket on the backs of Shuang'er and Bing'er, although there was still a lot of gap with Angel's imagination, but the time was still early, and her mother would usually stay here at night, and she still had an afternoon to spare, so she was not in a hurry.
"Alright! Find a place to rest, find something in the mountains for lunch, and continue to find another one in the afternoon! "Rest should be combined with work, otherwise life is a hard job, no matter how high you sit, it's useless.
"There's a pavilion there, Miss, where we'll go and rest."
Looking along Shuang'er's fingers, at the top of a cobblestone path in front of him, there was indeed such a bluestone pavilion, a man stood in the wind, his expression looked extremely lonely, although the eagle's eyes were closed, Angel could still feel a sadness from it, and the handsome and glamorous appearance followed the noble temperament of the eldest grandson family.
Bing'er slapped the back of Shuang'er's head and said sharply, "Your brain is fine!" Miss is the one who is going to enter the palace, there is a foreign man there, do you want Miss to be given three feet of white silk before entering the palace? ”
Shuang'er rubbed her head after hearing this, and cried silently on the side, people just forgot about it for a while, why are you so fierce, and what kind of person is in the pavilion, who actually dares to occupy the place that my aunt and grandmother fancy it, and the courage is really not small.
Angel was a little surprised when she saw the man's face clearly, this man was the eldest grandson Aofeng who had a relationship with her, Angel raised her hand and said to the two maids behind her, "Since there is a foreign man, then let's leave too!" ”
"Little master, stay!" Not long after, a man with a dragon and a tiger walked out from behind, and his expression was particularly proud, and he looked like a practitioner, and his status must not be low.
Although his eyes were above the top and he didn't know what the heavens were determined, Angel knew at a glance that his arrogance was pretended, and there was no arrogance in this person's eyes, but only the eternal waves.
Angel didn't feel like she took a step back, and distanced herself from the person in front of her, "Who is Childe?" Why do you want to block the way of our daughters? ”
Han Lian's eyebrows raised, "My master is waiting for the little master to talk about it, and I also ask the little master to appreciate the light." ”
"Since you call me the little master, you should know that I am a woman who is about to enter the palace, and it doesn't seem appropriate to invite me so rashly!" After saying that, Angel turned around and wanted to leave, not staying here for a moment.
There are many people in the temple, although there seems to be no one here, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, Angel does not want to spread any crazy words, she must be careful everywhere after becoming a nobleman, not to mention that the eldest grandson Aofeng still has a handle in her hands, if he deliberately leads her into the pavilion, it is also possible.
"Little lord and slow!" Han Lian walked in front of Angel with a dodge, blocking Angel'er's way.
Shuang'er's eyebrows darkened slightly, and she hid Angel behind her without a trace, and looked at Han Lian with her head held high, "Who are you, you actually dare to block the way of the little master in the palace, you are just a royal guard, don't you want to die?" ”
Shuang'er's words made Han Lian a little stunned, and looked up at Shuang'er in a hurry, this girl actually saw her identity at a glance.
"Han Lian must not be rude!" A tactful male voice came to mind behind him, stopping the conversation between several people.
