Chapter 359: Primary Selection (I)
This is the day of the Li Mansion's primary election for slaves and maids, the sky has not yet dawned, and from the streets and intersections in the capital, it can be said that there is a surge of people. Among them, either the mother pulls the daughter, or the elders pull the juniors, or the peers pull the peers...... The spectacular scene of people gathered at the bottom of the stairs at the gate of the Li Mansion from all directions can be said to be completely unpressable as the civil servants of later generations waiting to enter the entrance examination.
Li Wenxuan, who got up to go to the court, was told by Zhu Biao that it was not easy to pass, so he simply decided to ignore his identity, and the first time he left the house was not to go to the front door, but to the back door, and went to the noon gate in a big circle. Sitting in the sedan chair, he deeply felt that no matter when, in order to find a good job, he would not only face fierce competition, personal professionalism and quality competition, but also have to face the dilemma of having more monks and less porridge.
expected that many people would come today, but they never expected such a hot scene. Actually, it's also very easy to understand. In the words of later generations, in short, there is a lot of pressure on employment, and it is not only difficult to find good jobs, but also has few opportunities. If people in the lower classes want to get ahead and eat well, dress well, and live decently and beautifully, then they must flow to the upper classes. The daughters of the Ming Dynasty did not have as much employment as the later generations, so the probability of being able to change their fate was very low.
Li Fuguang recruited slaves and maids, and it was not as miserable as the palace to choose palace maids to enter the palace, after all, once they entered, it was extremely rare to be able to meet their families. Although there are strict entry and exit rules in the Li Mansion, they do not cut off the connection between family ties. When the daughter is free, she can naturally go home to have a look, and the mother is free, so she can also have the opportunity to come into the house to see her daughter.
In addition to this reason, there is also the fact that they know that the Li Mansion is limited to twenty years old. is far several years younger than the age of the palace maid released in the palace. Once you are lucky enough to enter the girl, no matter how old you are, as long as you are not mixed with a position with a head, or there is nowhere to go and other special reasons.
When the time comes, people will be put back, and they will not be redeemed yet. If you have done a good job over the years. Even when you leave, you can get an extra reward. In addition to the actual generous treatment and benefits of eating, wearing, living, and monthly money, the working environment in the house is still quite good.
A large number of people outside the mansion have already been inquired from many sources and have understood it clearly. None of them were going to bother going in. Will I suffer or something, but I am worried about whether I can get in the queue and get in? Regarding whether he can pass the primary selection, the second selection, and the interview after the most relent, and go to a good yard as an errand after entering the house, not many people have the confidence to think about it.
These girls who are preparing to apply for the college entrance examination are just like the students of later generations who face the college entrance examination. Just thinking about how hard to get into a good university. It seems that after entering a good university, it is like entering heaven. And the next life path is to gradually move towards the pinnacle of life, until the simple idea of marrying Bai Fumei. But I didn't think much about what would happen after graduation in a few years?
When they came to apply, seeing the current scene, even girls with a little bit of grace on their faces couldn't help but worry a little, after all, there are many natural leaders among them. The number of slaves and maids that the Li Mansion wants to recruit is very limited. And apportioned to the corresponding proportion, it is definitely more monks and less porridge, and the competitive pressure is no less than that of later generations to apply for customs civil servants. The people outside the gate of the mansion were faintly looking forward to it, and the attention of their eyes was almost uniformly focused on the vermilion gate of the Li Mansion, and they wished that it could be opened a moment earlier. Call them out.
Zhu Biao, Zhao Han, and Zhou Hu, who had long known about the situation outside the mansion, couldn't help but feel a little nervous in their hearts when they met, after all, there were really too many people here. In order to ensure the safety of the house, the three of them mobilized their own small servants, big houses, housekeepers, and so on, as long as they were men, all of them to the Toumen area. As for the security on the second gate, they let the maids, mothers-in-law, and other women who are not subordinate to each courtyard in the house be held accordingly. And the last gate is the slave maid who falls in each courtyard, optimistic about their respective courtyard gates and guarding the safety of the master's mother, young master, and young lady.
"This thing is absolutely sloppy, and there can be no mistakes. According to my opinion, Brother Zhu still personally went to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to tell Qi Jianqiu to bring people over quickly and maintain order outside the palace gate, so as not to happen. "Zhou Hu, who has always been a security worker, has a lot of relevant experience.
Zhu Biao, who thought so, felt that he was very reasonable: "All the matters on the head door can be left to you to be fully responsible." After I lead Qi Jianqiu and the others back, you can open the door again. As for Zhao Han, in addition to arranging for the manpower to issue the number, you can go to the interview room that has been vacated a long time ago and wait. Once this trumpet is released, people start to read the trumpet. We let them go into the head door in batches of 10 people. After the previous batch is gone, let the next batch come in, and so on, and so on. What do you think of my arrangement? ”
Zhou Hu and Zhao Han, who are both regarded as their own brothers, did not have the slightest intention of patting him on the back, and said in unison: "Very good." ”
"Since you have no objection to this, then let's go our separate ways." Zhu Biao, who made a decision immediately, did not have any intention of dragging mud and water, so he hurriedly turned his back to face the people who were standing here waiting a moment earlier, and said loudly: "Everyone cheer me up and work hard." When this matter is understood, I invite you all to drink wine and eat meat, so that you may have a good time. However, I have to say ugly things in the front, if the does things badly, or there is a mistake in his position, don't blame Lao Tzu for not recognizing people with his fists. Is it all clear? ”
Many people were carrying lanterns in their hands, staring at him, and responded in a loud voice with a very tacit understanding: "Clear." With a wave of his hand, he signaled Zhu Biao, who could disperse, and then hurriedly went to the stable in the house. He personally pulled out a red horse, but he only had to go to the back door of the mansion before turning over and running directly in the direction of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
