"There are no rules, there is no circle, everything has its rules, if you understand it, you can live well, and if you don't know how to wrap yourself in a straw mat and send it out of the palace." The round-faced father-in-law in a python robe shook his head and talked about experience.

"Anda, Anda, it's excellent to get out of the palace, can we be wrapped in straw mats at the age of 25?"

"Anda Anda, you don't have to abide by these rules when you are a mother, there are a lot of delicious foods." Surrounding Gonggong Zhang was chattering about this group of new palace maids, and it was the most lively time.

"Bah, little girls, let's say a few words, this is unlucky, that's a person who made a big mistake, as long as we keep the rules, when we are old, we can naturally go out with a reward." He took two steps with his head held high.

"Anda, Anda, and the reward silver, how much, is there any two taels of silver? You can buy me for two or two of us. ”

"Silver, hey, silver is a good thing." looked at the hour and said, "Okay, why are you going to be on duty, you guys are also dispersed, go to your respective grandmothers." ”

Seeing that Anda was leaving, the little palace maids were a little reluctant, and they all chanted, "Anda, will you come back tomorrow?" ”

"Do you still have to eat glutinous rice cakes?"

Seeing that Anda was surrounded and couldn't get out, he heard a soft snort, and the little palace maids immediately dispersed, which was the voice of the housekeeper.

Li Anda's original name was Li Yue, he was the old man in the imperial dining room, and he heard that his family was living a prosperous life outside, and he was appreciated by his master, and he was going to be released from the palace next year, and he was not happy to live happily ever since.

When the palace maids enter the palace, they are all given to the palace or four spins after the mothers are raised, which is equivalent to the internship period. If there is a little bit of something wrong, a board whip is a common thing.

The heat wave hit the face wave by wave, the beads of sweat directly dropped, no one dared to complain a little, the little palace maids stood in rows, with a full bowl of water on their heads, standing for a long time, even if they gently changed the center of gravity of their left and right feet, one accidentally spilled water, and Mama's whip was also pumped down, and if you can't hide or move, you can't hold it and fall to the ground, and the water is sprinkled with a solid whip. The sun rose little by little, and Zi Ning relied on her will to put her thoughts away, so that she was not so uncomfortable, so she had to meditate until noon.

Standing, this is just a necessary homework for the little palace maids, with the sentence of Mama Xing "Jiao Shui" Zi Ning took a deep breath, and steadily took down the water bowl above his head and held it, not in a hurry to move, he had to let his legs relax first, and only when he could move did he dare to go to Mama Xing to hand over the water, and got the nod of Mama Xing, Zi Ning took his mung bean syrup and went into the room to eat.

Behind him, there was a wail and cry of the little palace maid, "Mama, please spare me." "I don't dare anymore" "Ah。。。。。。 Zi Ning just didn't hear it, kept the rules, received the meal, and ate without making a sound at the set seat, this is also the rule, if you make a sound, you will be directly deprived of the right to eat.

Zi Ning is a living person, the memory is still there, to put it bluntly, he died in his last life, graduated from college and went on a trip to play abroad with his friends, but he encountered a robbery, Zi Ning was very cooperative, he didn't want to be pushed to help a pregnant woman block a knife, and he died a miserable unlucky ghost, and he didn't know if the body was transported back to the country, Zi Ning guessed that maybe it was the dereliction of duty of the prefectural staff who reincarnated with memories. It also made Zi Ning experience the feeling of crossing, but Zi Ning was not so lucky.

In the first month of rebirth, Zi Ning thought that he was afraid that he was going to be reincarnated again, and he didn't know if he could still carry his memory in the next life, almost no one fed him in this month, Zi Ning tried to cry, and the conclusion was that he didn't cry, save effort, and Zi Ning always saw things vaguely at the beginning, often in a semi-comatose state, and when he saw it completely, he knew that the family he was born in this life was very poor, and then he wore and lived in a comprehensive way, and it was not a time and space in the previous life, and it should not be any era that had an impression in the previous life, but it was similar to the ancient times of the previous life.

From the information he heard, Zi Ning probably analyzed the situation, there is a little boy who should be the elder brother in this life, about 3~5 years old, occasionally get some mixtures of different colors to feed Zi Ning, when there is no time to feed Zi Ning some water, it is by him Zi Ning survived, there are no adults at home, a mud house, the roof is also leaky, it seems that the conscription took the head of the family, the woman seems to have given birth to herself and heard that the man died on the battlefield so she gave birth to herself and ran away, leaving only the little boy and himself to depend on each other, Little boys always like to huddle in the corner with themselves in their arms to keep each other warm. The two of them are each other's last fetters, and Zi Ning knows in his heart that if he dies, the little boy will follow him, so Zi Ning tries to conserve his physical strength, and tells himself to survive every time he is awake.

Maybe it's God's blessing, maybe it's that the child doesn't need much nutrition, Zi Ning is so hungry and cold that the little boy feeds Zi Ning, Zi Ning doesn't dare to hide it, he can go to the ground, he can take care of himself, say some auspicious words and ask for leftovers with various aunts, watch the big girls dig wild vegetables, and silently know that he also pulls, and his brother makes a fire with him to cook and steal some more, and when his brother becomes one of the best fish catchers in the village, this day is getting better day by day, Zi Ning gave his brother the name of Zijun, My brother has never cared about the strangeness of Zi Ning, all good things are close to Zi Ning first, Zi Ning runs for food every day, but he is very satisfied, and it is also excellent that this life has passed like this. I've always wanted an older brother who thinks about everything for himself in my last life.

Until Zining was twelve years old, the new emperor ascended the throne, the national election of women, released a large number of palace maids who had reached the age, and the election of 12 to 15-year-old girls with good faces entered the palace, originally this had nothing to do with Zining, but brother Zijun fell in love with Doudou in the east of the village, Zijun did not have a lot of ideas about this matter, Doudou is indeed a good girl, not at all disgusted with her brother is poor, but her parents did not agree, and wanted to promise Doudou to the east of the village. Brother Zijun knelt at the door of someone's house, Zi Ning looked at him dejectedly, and regretted a little, if it wasn't for his various matchmaking, he wouldn't let them love to death. Seeing that things were so big, Zi Ning ran to talk to Doudou Daddy for 2 hours, and Doudou Daddy finally relented, he only asked for a bride price of five taels of silver.

Over the years, my brother has fished Zining and sold fish, repaired houses, and didn't chew where to eat, and my brother didn't catch fish every day, so he saved a total of one or two halves, which was far from enough.

Zijun, who returned home, looked at Zi Ning's rummaging house, gritted his teeth and pulled Zi Ning and said, "Ning'er, don't look for it, it's not enough, my brother can't marry Doudou, it's my brother who has no ability, hey, too, why are we going to spoil people's daughters like this' looked at the house with four walls, and smiled at Zi Ning reluctantly, 'It's okay, it's okay, Ning'er, you and Doudou are good, and you can talk, you go and persuade Doudou to let her follow someone tomorrow, she is so good that anyone will hurt her." ’

At that time, seeing his brother laughing more ugly than crying, Zi Ning's heart was sour, I can't find you a daughter-in-law for such a big person, so I moved the idea of exchanging myself for silver, thinking of finding a squire clan to be a maid for a few years, with a salary package for food and housing, although I want to be a slave, I tremble for a few years, and then I will talk about redeeming myself after a few years.

It also happens that the county order is anxious about the matter of this draft girl, the number of people is not enough, there is a big difference, a total of 50 people have to be handed over, and the high requirements are not one or two points, Huang Gonggong strictly checks, his own territory is remote, most of them are villagers, and the young lady of the rich family is unwilling, even his own girl is not willing to hand it over, and only one or two of the villagers can pass by a hundred villagers, and 25 were selected in half a month.

The county order is afraid that this errand will not be done well, and will be punished for a crime of unfavorable affairs, so he has a crooked heart, and wants to go to the local traffickers to get a group of tiaojiao little girls to let Huang Gonggong pass by, although the order requires that good people have a household registration and a clean family background, but it is easy to fake a household registration.

When I went to the traffickers, I happened to meet Zi Ning bargaining for the money he sold

"No, no, five taels of silver is worth the price of two and a half little girls, you still have to enter a scholarly family as a maid, you are a place to introduce work, this is a place to buy and sell people." 'I've never seen myself sell my own, it's very pestering.

'Listen to me, this goods are different from the goods, I am literate and obedient, I am good, articulate, I can use it without tiaojiao, the main family must be on it, when the time comes, you still have a profit, and I am the household registration of a good citizen, or the descendant of a soldier, how can it not be worth the five taels of silver. Zi Ning boasted to herself, today I came here while my brother went out and walked for a long time, and I didn't want to return in vain.

"No, no, the price is too high, who has the spare money to buy such an expensive maid" has to see Zining to see that it is really upright, and it should be more brilliant in a few years, although it is very tattered, but it is clean and smelly~~ "If you are willing to change places for five years, it is good to discuss"

Zi Ning raised his eyebrows, what he meant by this was to sell himself to the Qinglou, I didn't do this, and I was interrupted when I wanted to say more

The county order thinks this is good, clean, and the conversation is not bad, or a good citizen who has not sold his body, after the soldier, he directly stuffed five years of silver in Zining's hand, "After a while, the one passed the eye, and the money is yours"

Zi Ning was a little nervous, and he didn't know what he was doing, "I only sold myself as a maid, and I didn't die, I wanted to be redeemed." ”

The county magistrate finally caught one, and he didn't care what she said, and responded with a mouthful, "Yes, yes, maid, you don't have to sell yourself to change your nationality, and you have monthly money, you can come back at twenty-five, you don't have to worry, I will match you with a kid when the time comes, and you will be satisfied." ”

In this way, in a daze, Zining was sent to the palace as a palace maid.

When the letter was delivered to Zijun, Zijun rushed from the village overnight in fright, and finally saw Zining and wanted to take her back.

Zi Ning said to Zi Jun very resolutely, "I'm going." ”

Seeing the sadness in Zijun's eyes, Zi Ning hugged Zijun with tears, "Brother, you have been waiting for me for thirteen years, and soon, when I come back, you and your sister-in-law will have to support me, and you will have to eat and drink at home, and you will be lazy to do it." ”

'Hey, okay, brother is waiting for you, raising you, it's my brother who is sorry for you, A-Ning, brother is waiting for you......' When he was on the trip, Zijun sent a mile after a mile, saying that he would not leave, Zi Ning said cruelly, "If you still follow me, I will cut my wrists." Only then did Zijun not follow. Zi Ning waved his hand and read silently in his heart, brother, you have to take care, wait for me, I will definitely come back.

A group of fifty people was hurriedly sent to the palace, in the previous life, Zi Ning liked to watch palace fighting dramas, but he was always from the perspective of God, and he never thought that he wanted to be a member of this palace, but Zi Ning understood that he felt bad. Zining's only hope is to live well until he is 25 years old and leave the palace.

Zi Ning knows that if you want to live well, you can't be excellent or too bad, you have to abide by the rules, according to the requirements, you have to get up at about four o'clock every day, the washing process time is regulated, learn to help the grandmothers comb their hair, serve them, and then have breakfast, about six o'clock began to practice standing on the top water, the afternoon is a variety of rules, cumbersome and meticulous, every step has regulations, there can be no mistake at all, Zi Ning is a person in the world has also suffered a lot, often beaten, the grandmothers are very serious, pumping you is absolutely not visible on the surface, Then there is the fact that you have the money to play a little, and when you smoke it, it is a void of power, and most of the strength is pumped to the ground, Zi Ning is poor, and you can only bear it if you smoke it, and carefully remember that you can't be beaten again next time.

A month passed quietly, Zi Ning knew that every year on August 8, the palace maids could see their families once, and they would tie a knot with hemp rope every day, only hoping that his brother would be safe and sound when fishing, and give birth to a little nephew and niece soon.
