Chapter 724 - Lying to the Little Girl
Bao Fuquan's worries are really unfounded, the second draft girl, there are not many brands, and the show girls who lost the primary selection, but all those who have a slightly better posture have also been left by Zhenwu, and the second re-election, Zhenwu is extremely picky, and the basic ones who can stay overnight for inspection are outstanding.
Jifengxuan's show girls have no money to bribe eunuchs, most of them are small family women, and most of them are selected by Zhenwu from the unsuccessful show girls, Zhao Mengtong, the daughter of Zhao Can, who is inlaid with blue flags and Han military flags, is among them, although Zhao Mengtong is eager to jump on the branches and become a phoenix, but she really has no silver to honor the eunuchs, and the two jujubes can't be taken at all, and the eunuchs with a big appetite are simply disdainful of dozens of taels of small money.
There is a relationship with the silver, and the door has passed, but it is Zhou Roujia, the daughter of Zhou Daoxin, who wants to lose the election, is also in Jifengxuan, although Zhou Roujia herself admires Zhenwu very much, but she was persuaded by her mother's bitter words, and she also did not like the life of intrigue in the palace for favor, so she was deliberately defeated.
The overnight inspection of the show girls is actually to examine the etiquette of the show girls, and even their talents, in which the role of female officials is greater than that of eunuchs.
The overnight show girl is not idle during the stay, she has to learn the etiquette and various rules of the palace every day, the various etiquette of the palace is cumbersome, and the rules and taboos are as many as a cow's hair.
When Zhenwu came to Jifengxuan, a group of show girls were practicing etiquette, and the little eunuch who listened to it came to spread the news that Zhenwu was coming, and several female officials were busy taking all the show girls to the door to greet them, and when they saw Zhenwu getting off the sedan chair, all the women squatted down and said: "Slaves and maids see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with gold." ”
Zhenwu paced to the women and said with a smile: "No courtesy." "Wait for the women to get up. He looked at them one by one. His eyes stayed on Zhao Mengtong and Zhou Roujia's two daughters for a moment, and then he went straight into Jifengxuan, and he didn't enter the house, so he stood up in the courtyard.
Seeing this situation, Bao Fu hurriedly instructed a few little eunuchs to bring chairs and tables, and waited for Zhenwu to sit down and make tea. Gluttony, fruit and flowing water came up, there are not many show girls in Jifengxuan, there are only twelve people in total, seeing Zhenwu's posture, all the show girls are very nervous. Know that the time has come to decide your fate.
Zhenwu looked at the show girls for a moment, took a few sips of tea, and then ordered: "Roll call." ”
The head of the teaching mama has long been familiar with the situation of the show girls in the past few days, and when she heard this, she hurriedly squatted down and said: "The slave obeys the order." Standing up, she reported in the order of the show girls: "Zhenglan chess, the daughter of the third-class guard Naqiyun, Na Ruimei." Year XVI. ”
Listen to your name. Na Ruimei hurriedly knelt down and said: "The courtier Na Ruimei sees the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an." "Because of the nervousness. There was a hint of trembling in her voice.
Zhenwu swept this group of girls who were only fifteen, six or seven, full of vitality, like budding flowers and bones, smiled slightly, and said in a relaxed tone: "There is no need to be nervous, you can stay in the palace, you are proud enough, the show girl is selected every three years, and there are not many people who can stay in each session, I have already made a will, whether or not to leave a brand, those who are not selected in the end can marry freely, even if you fail to enter the palace, you can also marry a good family, you don't need to be too nervous." ”
After saying that, he said directly: "Next." ”
"The daughter of Ma Jun of the Left Temple of Dali Temple with Red Flag, Ma Rulan, fifteen years old."
Seven show girls were ordered in a row, and Zhenwu did not speak, however, he noticed that the family background of these seven show girls was not good, most of them were women from low-level officials of the sixth and seventh grades, and the Beijing division was not comparable to the place, and the officials of the sixth and seventh grades could not be regarded as officials at all, it seemed that these eunuchs were playing tricks again, and he couldn't help but glance at Bao Fuquan.
Bao Fuquan was uncomfortable at this glance, and secretly scolded the group of bastards for doing things too obviously, this time I am afraid that another group of eunuchs will be unlucky, the eunuchs in the palace have now been rectified twice, will Zhenwu take the opportunity to have a big rectification? He couldn't help but glance at the head of the teaching mama.
The teaching mother also realized that it was inappropriate, but these show girls were all from low backgrounds, what could she do? At that moment, she pointed to Zhao Mengtong's head, "Zhao Mengtong, the daughter of Zhao Can, who is inlaid with the blue flag household pen, is sixteen years old." ”
Zhao Mengtong didn't expect to suddenly jump on his head, listened to the roll call, hurriedly forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and knelt down calmly and said: "The courtier Zhao Mengtong sees the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an." ”
Zhenwu nodded and asked, "How is Yixing?" ”
The Mama Xi hurriedly squatted down and said, "Back to the emperor, be gentle and filial, and behave decently." ”
Zhenwu looked at Zhao Mengtong and said, "Have you ever studied?" ”
"Back to the emperor, I know a few words, and I have read "Women's Training". Zhao Mengtong held back the joy in his heart and said unhurriedly.
"Yes, leave the sign." Zhenwu said with satisfaction.
Mama Jiao Xi didn't care about the order at this time, and then sang: "Inlaid with red flags, the daughter of Zhou Daoxin, the political envoy, Zhou Roujia, is sixteen years old." ”
Zhenwu was slightly stunned when he heard this, the third grade master? With a slight groan, he said directly: "Next." ”
Seeing Zhenwu's attitude, Zhou Roujia couldn't help but be secretly happy in her heart, and even Zhao Mengtong was secretly happy, and it was naturally a happy thing to have one less competitor with a comparable appearance to her.
Until all the names are finished, Zhenwu did not leave a brand, seeing this situation, Bao Fuquan couldn't help but secretly complain, now I am afraid that he will suffer from the pond fish He peeked at Zhenwu's face, while secretly calculating, how to deal with the aftermath, and at the same time his heart was quite strange, that Zhou Roujia has a beautiful appearance, and is the daughter of the minister, why did Zhenwu not leave a brand? Could it be that Zhou Daoxin is not holy?
After pondering for a moment, Zhen Wu spoke: "Zhang Jingru left the sign, Zhou Roujia stayed, and the rest retreated." As he spoke, he looked back at Bao Fuquan again, and Bao Fuquan was busy and retreated with a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
There were only two people left in the whole courtyard, Zhenwu and Zhou Roujia, Zhou Roujia didn't know why Zhenwu let her stay alone, but she didn't call to keep the sign, she couldn't help but feel quite worried, listening to everyone's footsteps far away, her heart was a little more flustered, she didn't dare to look at Zhenwu, she could only look down at her toes.
Zhenwu glanced at her, and only after a while did he ask, "You don't want to enter the palace?" ”
Suddenly hearing Zhenwu's question, Zhou Roujia's frightened face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Back to the emperor, it is a great blessing for the courtiers to have the honor to enter the palace to visit Tianyan, and if they can enter the palace to serve the emperor, they can't ask for it." ”
Speaking of this, she already realized that the blessings and misfortunes of the entire Zhou family were in front of her, and after a slight pause, she continued: "The emperor Shengrui Tiancong, heroic and extraordinary, proposed to build an agricultural college, expand the 'Four Hengs', help Fujian, develop Taiwan, build the Qing Imperial Navy, personally conquer Penghu, conquer Nanyang, occupy Australia, divide overseas, immigrate to Australia, etc., are widely sung in Jiangnan and Beijing.
All the women of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Beijing Division gather every time, the emperor's deeds are an eternal topic, all the women of the Eight Banners who are qualified for the draft, are secretly promised to the emperor, thinking about it for a long time, hoping to enter the palace to get the emperor's favor, how can the courtiers not want to enter the palace, and pray for the emperor's wisdom. ”
"You're so eloquent." Zhenwu couldn't help but chuckle and said, the reason why he asked this question was because all the show girls in Ji Fengxuan were all from low-grade official families, but her father was a third-grade official, and his eyebrows were picturesque, pure and lovely, and his figure was also slender and moving, both beautiful and born in the minister's family, but mixed in among the show girls from a small family, naturally a little weird, so he speculated that this woman might not want to enter the palace.
I don't want Roujia to cherish his deeds this week, and even the order is not wrong, this is not something that can be blurted out in a hurry, it seems that he may indeed be an unfading topic in the Eight Banners Women's Boudoir, think about it, isn't he the biggest star in the entire Qing Dynasty?
Smiling slightly, Zhen Wucai continued: "Tell me, why are you in Jifengxuan?" ”
Zhou Roujia was already smart and sensitive, and when she heard this question, she already understood the original situation, but she didn't dare to excuse herself with the eunuch's extortion of the show girl, which would definitely cause trouble. ”
Zhenwu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, this woman is not only beautiful, but also Bing Xue is smart, she actually used this excuse to prevaricate herself, the Han Army Banner has the lowest status in the Eight Banners, and she has scruples or surrendered her identity in the past, this matter, the eunuchs in the palace must have taken the opportunity to blackmail, and it is rare that she does not use this as an excuse to excuse herself.
However, from this point, it can also be seen that she is really unwilling to enter the palace, Zhenwu couldn't help but look at her twice, he is the Son of Heaven, and it is the time when he is in his prime, he does not want to be strong, there are many beauties in the world, nothing can be a micro-service cruise, what kind of woman does not have? Moreover, after the draft, there were hundreds more show girls and palace maids in the harem, and he didn't worry about the emptiness of the harem, and the twisted melon was not sweet, and he groaned slightly, and he said: "Flat." ”
Zhou Roujia was overjoyed, thinking that she had been fooled, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you for the emperor's grace." Then she got up, but she still didn't dare to look up at Zhenwu.
After taking a sip of tea, Zhen Wucai said slowly: "I am the son of heaven in the Qing Dynasty, there are many women in the Eight Banners who want to enter the palace, and there are also those who do not want to enter the palace. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Roujia couldn't help but be stunned, is she going or staying? It's up to her? Is there such a draft? However, from these words, it can also be seen that Zhenwu spoils her to the extreme, and she thinks of the rumors that Zhenwu took a concubine in Shanghai, it seems that it is true, she is not very old, and she admires Zhenwu a lot, where do you dare to hesitate, and hurriedly squatted down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the courtiers want a brand."
