Chapter 108: Learn the Rules
Before Lu Chengwan put her hope on herself, Lu Chengxuan had already made her words obvious and cut off her thoughts.
"I don't owe you, and I don't owe anyone anything, next time you can't solve Lu Chenghuan's trouble, I will go out directly and pretend not to know, instead of opening my mouth to solve the siege."
Lu Chengxuan turned around and continued to eat at the round table.
There will be no disappointment without hope, and it is much better to say it directly than to give her a glimmer of hope and then kill it.
Lu Chengwan looked up at the indifferent Lu Chengxuan, the tears in her eyes flowed even more fiercely, but she slowly stretched out her hand and picked up the hard-boiled egg placed next to the bed, rubbed it on the bruised place on her body, and even got out of bed, walked to the round table, and had a meal.
Only when you are full can you have the strength to do something else, it can be said that Lu Chengwan's dinner is mixed with tears.
Lu Chengxuan twisted her eyebrows and glanced at Lu Chengwan, and sighed indiscriminately.
"You also heard what Luo Nushi said, after eating, you need to receive these things in the food box and put them in Qian'anmen, since you and I live in the same place, then put them together and pack them up, and take turns to send them, do you have any comments? Or you can do it separately, it's just a bit of a waste of time. ”
Lu Chengwan shook her head with rain, but her voice was very resolute, "I have no opinion, I'll clean it up today." ”
"Okay, then I'll do it tomorrow." Lu Chengxuan raised her eyebrows, took out the silk thread and embroidered cloth in the baggage, she did not have many personal items, most of the baggage was crowded with these embroidery-related things, the night before leaving home, she cut a lot of embroidery cloth, and prepared the needle and thread.
In the free time of the draft, she took the time to embroider some embroidery, which was not only to save time but also to pass the time, and after doing so much embroidery, she didn't even have a few of her own personal objects, and besides, she embroidered more embroidery, and she could also find an opportunity to send someone out of the palace, so that Qinglian Xingyu could take it out and sell it for silver.
Lu Chengwan started to get busy after finishing her meal.
And Lu Chengxuan pushed open the long window of the coral and saw a back garden outside the window, planted with exotic flowers and plants, and more than a dozen flowers and trees, all of which are tall and handsome.
Lu Chengxuan unconsciously looked at the horizon in all directions, the orange sunlight was a little red, and slowly stretched out his hand, and the warm sunlight could shine on his body, as if in this way, he could expel the cold.
Lu Chengxuan's slender and slender fingers are particularly beautiful in the sunset.
The shape of the sachet in his hand has already taken shape, and it is embroidered with peony patterns.
When the peony is in full bloom, it is the end of April in the world.
Lu Chengxuan has always liked peony, and it also has a nickname, called Jiang Licao, also known as parting.
There were a lot of peony flowers planted in the courtyard, and the strong fragrance overflowed the inner room with bright windows.
The embroidery time seems to pass extraordinarily fast.
Those show girls who came from afar were scattered before the palace gate was closed, and after being screened by the medical women, they were placed in the dormitory, and the total number was only more than 300 people.
——
The candlestick candles burn out, and the night rests peacefully.
When the pale cyan sky first showed pink glow, there were already a lot of female officials and girls gathered in front of the front hall of the Hehuan Palace, and a crisp sound of gongs and drums broke the tranquility in the Hehuan Hall and woke up the sleeping show girls.
"Who, what's going on?"
"What are you doing so early! It's so noisy! ”
"It's just too late, and I don't let people sleep."
There were complaints all over the hall, but they were covered by the sound of the next violent gong, and I don't know which female official roared, and it spread unceremoniously throughout the hall.
"From the beginning of the hour, the time of half a pillar of incense to take care of yourself to wash and dress, check that there is no misuse, breakfast can be selected by yourself, but not wasted, first come, first served, lunch is in."
When the sound of gongs fell, the rough voice of the female historian could be clearly heard.
The sleepy show girls suddenly didn't open their eyes, and got out of bed as fast as they could, and began to dress themselves.
The imperial concubine does look infinitely beautiful, but it is only the favored ones who can enjoy the treatment of thousands of pets, and the rest ......
The days are not so comfortable.
When the emperor went to the court, as a concubine, she should take care of the emperor's food and clothing as her own responsibility, be sure to clean up before the emperor gets up, and prepare everything used by the emperor to serve the emperor, so the ladies in the palace are busy when they get up, and then go to the queen's palace to ask for peace after the emperor goes to the court, if you go to the queen mother's palace on the fifteenth day of the first month, it will be earlier.
On the first day of the draft, the Hehuan Hall can be described as a mess.
Su Rili is a pampered daughter at home, don't talk about getting up too early, there is not even a maid to serve herself, and she has to come by herself to wash her face and gargle her mouth, so it is inevitable that she is in a hurry, and it is inevitable to lose everything.
The well in the temple was sprinkled with water from the well, hairpins scattered on the ground, and untied sashes and shawls...... Plus the screams of the show girls from time to time when they were in a hurry and accidentally bumped into each other.
It's just unsightly.
Hu Shanggong frowned, looked at the busy Hehuan Palace, and couldn't help but have a calm face.
At this time, those concubines whose families are poor, or who do not have a high status in the family on weekdays, and the officials and daughters of small families seem to be orderly, and they are also neat and clean in doing things.
Lu Chengxuan was already a very shallow sleeper, and she could detect a slight movement outside the door, plus she had auditions and experience, compared with those hurried show girls, she was much more stable.
After finishing the early freshening, I changed into a light pink palace dress and went to get breakfast in front of the female history.
Compared with dinner, breakfast is much more sumptuous, fried mutton, fried goose, pork fried yellow cabbage, two-cooked fried fresh fish, reed noodles, chicken soft soup, fragrant rice, bean soup plus tea.
It is not easy to eat overly flavored food for breakfast, otherwise the taste will not be able to dissipate for most of the day, if you meet any noble person in the palace again, it will be a collision, thinking for a while, Lu Chengxuan asked for a pork fried yellow cabbage, fragrant rice, bean soup and tea, Lu Chengwan also learned the same.
However, he is not as skillful and calm as Lu Chengxuan, his hair is slightly loose, but he can barely get into the eyes, and in general he is much better than other ladies.
The gatehouse opened, and Lu Chengxuan and Lu Chengwan, who were eating at the round table in the house, could just see the other panicked show girls in the courtyard.
Lu Chenghuan's face was gloomy to the extreme, the jade belt of her clothes was fine, her hair was in a messy bun on her head, Zhu Hai was staggering, she used to be in the house......
I didn't learn to do these things on my own!!
Zhao Yiyun himself failed to be drafted, and he didn't know these details, Lu Chenghuan was the youngest daughter, and she was petted in the palm of her hand, so she was willing to let her do it herself!
As for Lu Chengxue...... Half a pillar of incense has no time to take care of himself, and he has no time to care about others.
Lu Chenghuan moved slowly, not to mention, and went late, when he arrived in front of the female history, there was only a point of mutton fried and a few fried fish left, which can be said to be really embarrassing, but he couldn't stop eating, otherwise who knows what to do next, she didn't eat enough last night, if she was hungry for another day, where would Lu Chenghuan still have the strength to find trouble with others, I'm afraid that I will have to explain here first!
Still starving!
Spreading it out makes people laugh out of their big teeth.
Lu Chenghuan didn't say anything about eating in a hurry, she was slow, everything was one step slower than others, grooming was yes, so was eating, time was piled up with time, and it wasn't a little bit slow, the fried fish had just picked out the fish bones, and before she could eat a few bites of fish, the sound of the gong sounded again, and the other show girls who had finished eating the meal had gathered in front of the palace to wait for the arrangement of Hushang Palace.
Lu Chenghuan wanted to cry a little, no wonder her mother wanted to stop her when she heard that she was going to enter the palace, she was still ignorant at that time and thought that Zhao Yiyun was eccentric, and she didn't want her to block her third sister's future, and she didn't want to know Zhao Yiyun's intentions now.
Zhao Yiyun is indeed eccentric, but it is himself who is eccentric!
She was worried that she wouldn't be able to endure these hardships.
Even Zhang Zhiqiu and Xue Jinping and the others didn't go any better, they were all disgraced, and they completely lost their previous arrogance.
really responded to that sentence, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
After Hu Shanggong turned around among the show girls, his eyebrows furrowed even more, and he couldn't wait to twist them into a ball, and his majestic voice did not carry half of his feelings, "You are all people who will become the emperor's women in the future, and you can't even take care of yourself, how can you take care of the emperor's food and seclusion?" ”
"But you have a precious status, I can't guarantee that any of them will enter the emperor's eyes in the future, and the emperor will favor you, although the ministers and maids are ordered to come to urge you, but they don't dare to punish them casually, so be it, if the girls can't adapt to the rules of life in the palace as soon as possible, then they will never be able to eat breakfast."
Hu Shanggong said slowly, but these words had weight.
If you don't punish you, you can't get breakfast when you get up late, and you endure hunger every day, which is not much better than direct punishment.
However, there are also some show girls who have special treatment, such as Sheng Mingyue, the seventh lady of the Sheng family.
She didn't get up faster than others, and the speed of cleaning up was even more unhurried, but someone prepared food early and sent it to her room, this year's show girl is the highest status of her, she came to the draft is a tacit thing for everyone, but it is a formality, and the position of the imperial concubine belongs to her, and even ......
She does not come to the election in person, but she can also enter the palace safely and sit firmly on the throne.
I don't know what kind of wind the seventh lady of the Sheng family smoked, obviously she is past the age to be selected, but she still has to come to participate in the meeting, eat and live with these show girls, I don't know, I think she has any special preferences!
After many years, it was the first time that Lu Chengxuan was so close to Sheng Mingyue.
She is more down-to-earth and generous than when she was a child, gentle and dignified, just standing in one place so gently, with a fragrance that people can't take their eyes off her body.
There are a lot of beauties.
But there are very few beauties like her who have an outstanding temperament from the inside out.
It is necessary to have a daughter raised by a hairpin family like the Sheng family to be so elegant and generous without losing Wanqiu Shuyuan.
Ordinary women are always a little more tacky.
When Hu Shanggong's voice fell, there were whispers of complaint and dissatisfaction in the crowd, but because of Hu Shanggong's prestige, he dared not speak, "Okay, put aside the matter of dining for now, and the content of the official draft will start today." ”
As soon as they heard that the draft was going to be official, the complaints of the show girls were also suppressed by joy and nervousness, and their hearts became expectations.
Hu Shanggong's face suddenly evoked a playful smile, "The first level, verify the correct body." ”
Level 1...... Verify the ......
That is, to check whether the woman is still innocent, a virgin, and a broken woman is not qualified to serve the emperor!
And the best thing to prove innocence is Shougong Sand.
When a woman reaches a certain age, her relatives will put a red dot on her wrist to prove her innocence, also known as Shougong Sand.
Moreover, this palace sand is not something that can be pretended to be counted at will, but it is necessary to raise a lizard, feed it with cinnabar, and wait for the lizard to reach adulthood, mash it into a paste, and it becomes a red medicine, and then it is on the woman's wrist, and it can last for a long time, unless it is combined with a man.
There are two more steps to verify the identity in the palace.
Dripping blood into the water and the experienced lady of the inner room took off her clothes and spied on.
The blood of a virgin is easy to coagulate, and the blood dripping into the clear water is pierced on the fingertips, and if the blood is condensed into drops, it is a virgin, and if the blood is scattered and dissolved in the water, it is no longer innocent.
In addition, whether you have been married or served a man can be seen physically, and some experienced grandmothers can tell it by simply taking off their coats and looking at the gap between their legs.
The emperor's woman, be sure to check it carefully and carefully, otherwise it will ruin the dragon bed, not to mention, and then confuse the royal bloodline, that is, the crime deserves death.
Hu Shanggong made a look, and a basin of water could be brought to the front of the draft girl, and the other five Shangguan took the female officials to prick their fingertips one by one with silver needles to check.
As soon as he found that the blood was scattered in the clear water, he immediately sent the palace maid to hold it and drag it away.
If you are found to have a disability and illness, it is at most dishonest and does not hinder any major things, but if you are found to be not a virgin, it is unchastity and deception!
Don't say it's the emperor's house, even if it's an ordinary person, I'm afraid it won't be tolerated for an unchaste woman.
The rack was dragged out and sent to the court.
It's a bit cruel, but no one forces those women who have lost their innocence to run for election, and they have a heart to deceive the saint to seek wealth and power, and when they are checked, there is absolutely no room for softness.
