Chapter 604: Hard Days (1)
When Qinglan first entered the palace, like many little eunuchs at that time, her heart was full of confusion.
They may enter the palace because their families are poor, or they may enter the palace because their parents died early and they were homeless. Therefore, for them, no matter where they are, it is actually full of strangeness. Especially in the palace, it makes people feel even more frightened.
Qinglan followed behind a group of children of her own age, and arrived outside a pavilion, where a dozen or so people lined up and waited. It is said that they must first learn the rules of the palace, and after passing the exam, they will be divided into various places.
He was a little scared, and he didn't know what kind of day he was going to face in the future.
After seven or eight days of study, Qinglan's head was a little dizzy. But he's already remembered what he should remember. Even if you don't perform particularly well in the exam, it won't be too bad.
He remembered that the master said that in the palace, as long as you talk less and do more things, you will be able to survive in peace.
On the day Qinglan finished the exam, she saw a lot of people outside the pavilion. Those were all women, who looked to be around thirty years old, and they were supposed to be the aunts of the palace. They should have come here to pick people for the palaces.
If they are lucky enough to be picked by these aunts, they will most likely go to the master of the palace to serve. If you are not selected, then you can only be arranged to go anywhere.
For Qinglan, it's actually good. I just hope to be able to go to a simpler place and meet a good master. There is no one in his house for a long time, and he entered the palace just to survive.
In the future, there will be porridge to eat and rice to eat, in fact, they will all be similar.
"You guys, come with me." The chief eunuch came to everyone, pointed a few random points in the crowd, and led the little eunuchs to those aunts.
Qing Lan glanced at it quietly, and then silently lowered her head.
"Hmph." A little eunuch beside Qinglan couldn't help but snort when he saw such a scene, and said, "Sure enough, it's a few of them, I know." Yesterday, they went to the Commander-in-Chief's father-in-law. ”
The little eunuch was a little indignant, and said, "Money can make ghosts grind, and this is really true." Isn't it their turn to do good errands? Those of us who have no money for our lives don't know where we will be assigned. ”
Qinglan listened to his words, but she didn't dare to answer at all. It's just that I can't help but secretly think in my heart, what he said is true?
"Really?" Another little eunuch on the side who heard these words couldn't help but say, "It turns out that the palace is like this!" ”
In the crowd, there was a little more discussion. Qing Lan listened silently, still standing with her head down. To others, it looks like a piece of wood that doesn't care about anything.
Even someone poked him twice, but he didn't react at all.
"What a piece of wood." The little eunuch glanced at Qinglan, and then quietly talked to the others.
After a short time, the eunuch returned. And beside him, there was another aunt. It looks like I didn't pick a favorite among that group of people before, so I just came over again.
"What's your name?" The aunt walked up to Qinglan and looked at Qinglan. fate
Qinglan didn't expect this aunt to come up to her. I still found that there was an extra pair of embroidered shoes in front of me, and the gentle voice only looked up when it appeared in front of me.
"The minion is called Xiaoyu." Qinglan replied. His name at that time was indeed called Xiaoyu.
There is no other reason, it is because he is so poor that he wants to eat fish, so he is called Xiaoyu. As for the name given by his parents when he was born, he naturally can't remember it now.
"Little fish?" The aunt whispered softly, as if she thought the name was not bad, and then continued to ask, "Why did you keep standing quietly when they were saying this?" ”
When Qinglan heard this, she replied, "The master taught us to talk less and do more. Although the master is not there, the minions should actually abide by it seriously. ”
"Can you tell your aunt what they just said?" The aunt looked at Qinglan with a smile, and her eyes were even more gentle.
As soon as these words came out, several people standing beside Qing Lan became nervous. The things they just talked about are really hard to talk about. Otherwise... It's very likely that he will be kicked out of the palace like this.
They were still young, and they wanted to go into the palace to eat. has already been purified, if he goes out of the palace like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult to live in the next life. Qing Lan's words can almost decide their life and death.
Qinglan thought about it seriously and replied, "They are just worried about their future, and they don't know what kind of place they can go. ”
When my aunt heard this, she smiled, and said to the chief eunuch beside her: "I see, this little fish is very close to my eyes, so I will take this child away, no problem, right?" ”
The chief eunuch showed surprise in his eyes, but he didn't seem to dare to refute, so he said, "Naturally, it's no problem." ”
"Then, Xiaoyu, you can follow me." After the aunt finished speaking, she led Qinglan away.
When Qinglan left, she couldn't help but look back. The companions around him all looked relieved, and Qing Lan smiled at them before leaving.
After walking a long way, the aunt looked at Qinglan and said, "Xiaoyu, you are a kind-hearted child. It's just that I can't tell you exactly whether it is a good thing to have a good heart in this house. ”
"In the future, when you come to the Fourteenth Elder Brother, you will have to persuade him to do what he should do. As for everything else, as long as it doesn't violate the principle, you just listen to him. ”
"Fourteenth elder brother?" Qinglan was secretly surprised, and only then did she know the identity of this aunt.
It seems that she is the most favored female official next to Concubine De in the palace. Fourteenth elder brother, he also knows. The pride of the sky, he has been very smart since he was a child. I'm only six or seven years old now, and I need a playmate around me.
Qinglan didn't expect that she would go to serve the fourteenth elder brother in the past.
The elder brother in the palace must have been pampered since he was a child. I don't know what the personality of this fourteenth elder brother is. In the future, he will have to be careful.
It's just that being able to go to such a place and follow the fourteenth elder brother may have a good life in the future. He... Just do your best.
