021 Maid or Mama

The first year of Ningde, summer.

The fifth lady of Shangshuling's family entered the palace, and as soon as she entered the palace, she was sealed as one of the top three products, Jieyu, and given the name Xuan. This is not a big deal, but before Xuan Jieyu entered the palace, she made a small request to the queen.

When each newlyweds enter the palace, they can carry no more than two maids according to the regulations. Of course, if there is no one to serve, the palace will also assign it.

Xuan Jieyu lost her mother since she was a child, and she was served by a grandmother since she was a child, she already regarded this grandmother as half a mother in her heart, and the grandmother has never married for her, so she wants to take this grandmother into the palace together, of course, the total number will not exceed two.

The queen had the heart to agree, but she was afraid of breaking the rules, although there was no clear provision that the newcomers who entered the palace could not bring their grandmothers, but every concubine brought a dowry maid when she entered the palace. Because of this incident, there was also a discussion in the court.

Some people say that these five young ladies are sincere and filial, and they should be allowed to bring their grandmothers into the palace; Some people also say that Mama is old after all, why don't you let her live outside the palace; There are also people who think that the women in the palace are all His Majesty's people, and for His Majesty's sake, they should be allowed to carry young maids.

The list goes on and on.

The saint was still young, and although he was not annoyed when he heard it, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

In the end, it was Wei Xuan, who had been promoted to the head of the household department, who came out to make the matter conclusive.

The concubines who enter the palace in the future can bring two maids, or one maid and one grandmother, or even two grandmothers. However, the grandmother must be under the age of thirty-five and must have never been married.

In this way, first of all, it can show the benevolence of the saint, and secondly, it will not let the palace appear, and there will be an embarrassing situation of the old woman everywhere.

When Nanxing heard about this, he thought about entering the palace with Lingxi, but it was solved so lightly. But the age limit of thirty-five still made her a little unhappy.

In the year 3700, anyone over the age of thirty-five could only do some low-level work, how could he come to this feudal society to do the work of serving people, and still have to be stuck at the age of thirty-five, which really made Nanxing unable to complain.

The days flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the second year of Ningde.

Just after the beginning of spring, Gonggong Zhang boarded the door of Yefu. In fact, a few days ago, Gonggong Zhang had already sent someone to mention it, and today he will come to pick up Lingxi and go to Danruo Courtyard.

If there are people who are with them, they will go with them. After all, the rules in the palace are big, and these maids and grandmothers must learn etiquette first, otherwise they will collide with the nobles in the palace.

Nanxing was so ruthless that he didn't look at Master Ye's tearful appearance, and followed Lingxi into the carriage with the word "flower" lantern.

With the sound of the bell of "Jingle Bell, Ding Dong", I came all the way to Tanwakain Temple in the east of the city.

Stepping through the two-story vermilion rivet gate of Danruo Temple, although it has not reached the point of "entering the palace gate is as deep as the sea", the future world will only be in this red wall and green tile.

————————————————

Nanxing used silver all the way to open the way, and chose a good room for Lingxi to sit in the north and face south.

When I opened the door, I saw two carved wenge beds on the east and west sides of the room. There was a tent with magpies and peach branches hanging on the bed.

In the middle of the room was a small table of eight immortals, with four embroidered piers placed on the side of the table. There is also a set of white porcelain tea sets on the table.

There is a window on the north side, which you can open to see that there are also shrubs planted behind the house. Underneath the window is a table made of wenge wood with several decorative porcelain vases.

As soon as the things were packed, the housekeeper of Danruo Courtyard sent a little palace maid to pass the word, saying that at two o'clock tomorrow, all the families to be selected and their entourages must gather in the Pear Garden, so that all the families to be selected should prepare well, and they should not miss the time, otherwise they will be punished.

Nanxing took a silver coin and stuffed it into the little palace maid's hand, and took the opportunity to inquire about some news with the little palace maid.

The palace maid who came to deliver the message was named Cuinong, and the other one named Binong was the palace maid who served these four rooms.

This year, all the children of the Flower and Bird Envoy have all moved into Danwakain, and there are a total of 27 people.

Tomorrow, the housekeeper will announce some rules, especially if you bring inappropriate items, you must hand them in or destroy them, and the etiquette training will be serious from the day after tomorrow.

Half a month later, artists will begin to paint for their families one after another. If you can stuff some silver taels for the painters, they will make the family more beautiful.

However, after seeing Lingxi's appearance, Cuinong still didn't change his words, and only said that he asked Nanxing not to save this money. After all, there was a family member who bought the painter in the past and asked him to make everyone else a little ugly.

Of course, the painter doesn't dare to go too far, but it's okay to use a little bit of hands.

Sending Cui Nong away, Lingxi asked Nanxing, "This little palace maid has such a loose mouth?" The palace maid in the palace of the concubine in the previous dynasty did not dare to talk to others. ”

Nanxing smiled, "You don't understand this, these little palace maids are all human spirits, what to say and what not to say, they know much better than you." Didn't you see that she said those words when she saw your face? It's for you to sell well. ”

"So that's the case, I thought it was the credit of my sister's silver bill." Lingxi showed a look of sudden realization.

"I think that high-latitude power, when he created you, must have added less logical ability. Otherwise, you're a pretty smart brain, why can't you always figure out these simple twists and turns? ”

"Isn't there a sister, what am I afraid of, if it really doesn't work, I'm going to change back to the page, although it's a pity that I can't realize my wish, but it seems to be okay."

"Then you might as well change back to the pages now, and save me trouble, I haven't seen Shang Lu for a long time, and I miss him a little." Nanxing didn't take Lingxi's words seriously at all, she knew that the little girl was playing tricks again.

Lingxi said narrowly: "Hehe, I don't." However, I am very curious about the Shang Lu that my sister said, and I want to meet when I am done, who can make my sister unforgettable. ”

"According to the current words, my sister and him are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses." After Nanxing finished speaking, he always felt that this was a little ambiguous, "Don't talk about him, you'll see you when you go back." By the way, this is the situation of the family members that I asked Zhao Zhengyan to inquire about, you should take a look first, and burn it after reading it, so as not to leave any handles. ”

Lingxi threw the book on the table, "I'll read it on the way." But looking at it, it's just the name, hometown, specialty, family situation, and I can't see the reason, it's better to go to the pear garden tomorrow, and my sister can see the visual data more clearly. ”

The next day, enjoy the pear garden.

Located in the southwest corner of Tanwakain Temple, the pear garden was originally a square garden, named after the tall pear blossom trees planted in the corner of the square courtyard. At this time, it is not yet the season for the pear blossoms to bloom, and all you can see is the verdant green of the trees.

On the west side of the pear garden is a corridor connecting other courtyards, in which a palace lamp hangs, and the red tassel hanging under the palace lamp is also fluttering with the wind.

At the end of the day, many family members went to the direction of the pear garden one after another.

At this time, there were already three grandmothers standing in the pear garden. The one in front of the head is the head of Danruoyuan, who looks like she is about forty years old, wearing a purple cardigan and bottoms of the same color, combing an ordinary single-ring bun, and a silver hairpin on the left and right sideburns, and in the middle of the bun is a silver Huasheng with a longevity pattern. Her back was straight, her hands folded in front of her.

And the other two grandmothers standing behind her on the left and right sides are the housekeepers who are in charge of different things here. Their clothes didn't look much different from the lady in charge, except for the color of their clothes, and the two of them could only wear ochre-colored clothes.
