Chapter 221: Get Out
Ying Jiarong was a little stunned.
What's going on?
Seeing that Miao Lele was excited like this, it was difficult for Lu Chenghao to accept Miao Lele's heart, but ...... Something is wrong!!
Lu Chenghao accepted it so casually?!?
Something went wrong with her instincts?
There is nothing between Lu Chenghao and Lu Chengxuan? Very innocent?
Then why did Lu Chengxuan say that Lu Chenghao already had a sweetheart, was she deliberately perfunctory to Miao Lele or did she say that she didn't want Lu Chenghao and Miao Lele to be together in her own private messages?
This thing is always full of weirdness.
But looking at Miao Lele's crimson face, she didn't want to splash her cold water, if she really thought about it too much, wouldn't it be difficult to maintain her image in front of Miao Lele and Lu Chengxuan.
Ying Jiarong thought for a moment, then looked at Miao Lele with a smile, "Lele, what are you talking about, I didn't do anything, I did it all by your own efforts, besides...... Maybe this marriage is really a godsend, and you are destined to be together! ”
Miao Lele, who was praised by Jiarong's words, became more and more excited, but he seemed to be inadvertently puzzled, "But it's also very strange, Lele." ”
"Since that Lu guard accepted your heart, it means that he didn't have a sweetheart before, why did Cheng Xuan lie to you that he already had a sweetheart?"
It's good that Ying Jiarong didn't mention it, but as soon as he opened his mouth like this, the fusion on Miao Lele's face stiffened on his face, and he frowned strangely, "Yes, why did Cheng Xuan say that!" ”
At that time, when she heard Lu Chengxuan say that Lu Chenghao had a sweetheart, Miao Lele only felt that her heart was about to break, and she was sad for a while, but she went to see Lu Chenghao herself but found that there was no such thing......
Cheng Xuan: What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
Why lie to yourself for no reason?
Or do you say that there is something hidden in it that you don't know!
Miao Lele suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, held Ying Jiarong's arm and said with a smile, "Let's talk about this matter after the assessment is over, the assessment is the most important thing now!" ”
"Let's go quickly, we're going to be disqualified if it's late!"
Ying Jiarong also nodded heavily, holding Miao Lele's hand tightly, "Okay, let's go first!" ”
The two of them were delayed on the road, and when they came to the Chengyi Palace, the dormitory was already full of female historians waiting for the assessment, all of them were in good spirits, full of energy, and full of confidence, the two stood at the door and looked at it for a moment, and soon saw Lu Chenghuan, Su Gaoyang and Liang Xingyu and other familiar female histories, and beckoned to them happily.
Especially Miao Lele was extremely excited when she looked at Lu Chengxuan, if it wasn't for the assessment being the most important, she really wanted to pull Lu Chengxuan and talk to her about Lu Chenghao!
Lu Chengxuan also noticed Miao Lele standing at the door and beckoned to her.
Ying Jiarong quickly pulled Miao Lele to sit down, and then, Lu Shanggong took the other Shang Palace and Si Gong to slowly walk towards the top of the dormitory, and the dormitory, which was originally a little noisy, instantly quieted down, and everyone immediately relaxed their steps and sat down next to the small table of rosewood.
Lu Yanhua had exquisite makeup on her face and a majestic voice, "The assessment of the Liushang Palace, I believe everyone has already understood, here the official will not explain much, the content of today's assessment is to cook tea, tea and tea sets have been placed on the rosewood table, two incense sticks are limited to time, choose a kind of tea you are good at cooking, and hand it over to the adults of the Shangshi Bureau to judge the results, start now!" ”
"Yes, follow the teachings of Lord Shanggong!"
As soon as the words fell, all the female histories who came to the assessment devoted themselves to cooking tea and making tea with solemn eyes, no longer looking elsewhere to waste time, and the large number of people who participated in the assessment this time was not only to give those female histories the opportunity to become female officials, but also to give other palace maids in the palace a chance to get ahead.
In addition to the palace maids originally selected by the Liushang Palace, the palace maids in the twelve halls of the harem, as long as they have outstanding performance and absolute strength, can ask their concubines to give a letter of recommendation if they are voluntary, and they can participate in the assessment.
Those who pass the assessment can be directly promoted, and the palace maid becomes a high-grade female history, from a female history to an official, and from a chief official to a warden.
Those who were originally in a high position, but failed to pass the assessment, will be demoted, to fill the position of those palace maids who have been promoted, in this way, not only will give all the palace maids a chance to struggle, but also to avoid the female officials of the Liushang Palace from being arrogant and not doing things for the emperor well, always reminding that in the palace, we must play a twelve-point spirit and absolute attitude.
It's also the only fair chance.
After all, everyone's situation in the Six Shangju is different.
There are some unsuccessful show girls, who are born with a higher status than other palace maids, and can directly become female historians, and some female officials and female histories promoted by their families can also directly override others, but they are honest, and those who participate in the selection of palace maids to enter the Liushang Bureau are all from the bottom, and the future is not necessarily clear.
But if you grasp the opportunity of this assessment and get the favor of Shang Gong or Si Gong, then the hard work you have endured before will be able to achieve results in one day.
Therefore, everyone is very serious about the assessment.
Those who are in a low position want to climb up, and those who are in a high position are worried about being squeezed down by others and dare not relax at all.
At the same time, the Six Shang Bureau is divided into six bureaus and 24 divisions, each of which has its own different tasks, such as Shangshi, Shangyu, Shangyi, etc...... There are more than a dozen subjects to be assessed, however, not everyone has to take every subject, and it is divided into compulsory subjects and optional subjects.
The compulsory subjects are the general requirements of the Six Shang Bureau for all the palace maids and women, and the optional subjects can be selected according to their own strengths, which can be said to be very humane.
There are two compulsory exams, which are necessary to test the talents necessary for women, the first is to try to cook tea, and the second is to test the questionnaire......
The questionnaire is very simple, the female officer asks questions, and the people who participate in the assessment answer on paper, answer their own views and opinions, and assess their character, as for the first trial of cooking tea, why focus on the assessment, no one knows, only heard that it seems to be prescribed by the female official who single-handedly created the Liushang Bureau, the reason is that she likes to drink tea and has a special habit of tea...... Whether it is true or false can no longer be verified, but since the rules have been established, future generations will strictly abide by them.
And there are many specialties, such as most of the female histories in the dining room are exquisite in cooking, or the knife work is exquisite, and the female histories in the embroidery room are exquisite in embroidery and so on.
In fact, in essence, the content of the female officer assessment is not much different from the category when the original female draft was performed.
It's just the selection of show girls, just to select some outstanding beauties to serve the emperor, the content of their assessment focuses on tolerance, and the rest is just an auxiliary role.
But female officers are different.
They enter the palace, is by their own skills to survive, no absolute expertise can not survive in the Six Shang Bureau, at the same time, in the assessment, for the content and results, it will be extraordinarily strict, just the assessment of excellent results is not enough, but also need to be recognized by the Shang Palace and the Si Gong of the Six Shang Bureau, at the same time, if the harem which concubine is in a bad mood, from which to remove the qualification of the assessment, that is also nowhere to redress, female official assessment, not only rely on the ability to do things, but also ...... The envelopment of people's hearts.
Whether it is a palace maid, a female historian or a female official, in the final analysis, it is all for the purpose of serving the concubines, if the masters feel that the slaves are an eyesore, it is difficult to stretch their fists and feet no matter how good they are.
Each kind of tea is different, the tea set is different, the way and method of cooking tea is different, the people who understand tea are very demanding on the requirements of tea, and the female officials of the Food Bureau are the leaders in this industry, if the wrong tea set is used or the time is not right, it will greatly affect the taste and taste of the tea.
Lu Chengxuan glanced at the tea leaves and tea sets on the rosewood table, the tea set was only given a set, she was assigned a set of pottery teacups, and the tea was divided into black tea, black tea, white tea, flower tea, etc., I think it is in the assessment of the female historians, do you know how to distinguish what kind of tea set should be used for various teas, as for the time......
The time for two incense sticks is very sufficient, this is to give the female history one more chance, if there is a mistake in the first time when making tea, there is still plenty of time to re-brew a cup of tea, but if the second time also makes a mistake, it is a lost opportunity, and even the required subjects can not be tested, such a person in addition to being a sprinkling and sweeping palace maid in various dormitories, the Liushang Bureau will not want.
Lu Chengxuan's eyes swept to all kinds of tea, and ordinary pottery teacups are mostly suitable for black tea.
Black tea is relatively coarse and old, can be brewed or boiled, and when serving tea, it is also used in ceramic tea sets, which can not only eliminate the miscellaneous taste of black tea, but also highlight the mellow charm of black tea, Lu Chengxuan did not hesitate to choose Pu'er tea.
The female officer who was patrolling back and forth couldn't help nodding after seeing Lu Chengxuan's actions, her eyes were full of praise, if it weren't for someone who knew tea, she would definitely not have chosen to be so quick and decisive, and then looking at Lu Chengxuan's movements, it was more professional and neat.
The equipment is directly provided by the Liushang Bureau, and all Lu Chengxuan has to do is the remaining steps of making tea.
Boiling water rinse the tea set, pour the tea leaves into the tea lotus, gently dial the tea leaves in the tea lotus into the bowl, according to the ratio of tea and water, the kettle is tilted down and lifted three times, and the flush is seven or eight points full, which is for the brewing to be completed.
Often when making tea, there is an unwritten rule, that is, to pour out the first brew of water, which is commonly known as washing tea, in addition to green tea is not needed, the rest is especially to Pu'er tea as the head, pour out the first brew of tea, it is possible to soak the tea, which is conducive to the stretch of tea and the entry and exit of tea juice, so as to achieve the best tea fragrance.
Lu Chengxuan's series of actions are done in one go, which can be described as flowing water, not only the mellow tea fragrance makes people yearn, but also watching her elegant actions of making tea, it also makes people feel a sense of quiet years, Lu Yanhua, Cao Jingshu and several other Shang Palaces, from the moment they entered the Chengyi Hall of the dormitory, their eyes fell on Lu Chengxuan's body.
It's not because Lu Chengxuan is special, but it's really a pleasure to watch her make tea, at first it was just two people watching, but after a long time, everyone subconsciously looked at Lu Chengxuan, and at the same time, everyone is different, and the attitudes and feelings they think in their hearts are also different.
For Lu Chengxuan, some Shang Gong's hearts are more emotional.
The tea was brewed and placed in the stoneware tea set, Lu Chengxuan also breathed a sigh of relief, got up with a smile, and handed over the results in front of the female officer who was going to the assessment with tea in both hands, but she didn't want her to stand up as soon as she stood up, and a female historian next to her stood up in a panic, but her body was not stable, and she directly splashed the tea in her hand into Lu Chengxuan's tea bowl.
Lu Chengxuan's eyebrows tightened, and her body froze.
All kinds of tea have their own advantages, but for the assessment of the first test, the main test is the palace maid's test of tea-making skills, Lu Chengxuan originally made Pu'er tea well, but the palace maid next door poured a bowl of 60,000 melon slices into her tea bowl.
Even if Lu Chengxuan wanted to avoid it, he was still splashed into the tea bowl by the tea.
The palace maid next door looked at Lu Chengxuan in a panic and guilt, and apologized again and again when she was about to cry, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm really sorry!" ”
"I may have been sitting for a long time just now, and when I got up, I was a little dizzy, and the teacup was a little hot, and I didn't stand firm for a while, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry......"
The Shang Palaces sitting at the top subconsciously glanced at each other, and they all saw a little unclear taste from each other's eyes, it was Lu Yanhua, who was also slightly frowning, and the expression on her face was not very good, but she did not appear to scold the palace maid who spilled the tea, but looked at Lu Chengxuan's reaction with cold eyes.
If you want to become a female official, if you want to manage others instead of being managed, you must have your own ability, otherwise even if you pass the assessment of female officials and get promoted, it will be difficult to manage the female history under your command in the future.
Facing the female history who kept apologizing, Lu Chengxuan's willow eyebrows were twisted, and the hands holding the teacup also clenched the teacup in an instant, staring at the apologizing female history with an indistinct expression on her face.
The female history is very face-to-face, not the sleeping bureau, looking at the jade plate on her waist should be the female history of the dining room, she doesn't recognize it, there is no grudge, but if you want Lu Chengxuan to believe that this female history is not intentional, it is impossible to kill Lu Chengxuan!
The lady in the dining room deals with the kitchen dishes day and night, and she should know how to avoid the heat, but it is just a bowl of tea, how can she not bear it so coincidentally that she fell here so impartial?!
