Liu Ye looked at Guo Zhi's footprints on it, and was angry in his heart, and wanted to have a seizure, so he heard Liuji come out from behind the screen and said, "Guo Cairen, my family is talented, please go in and talk about it." ”

Guo Zhi snorted coldly when she heard this: "Do you want to see me and I don't know if I come out?" "They are all talented people of the fifth grade, Wen Qingwu thought who she was, and let her in.

"My family says she doesn't like the sun." Liuji looked at Guo Zhi and said respectfully: "It's cool in the hall, and I also ask Guo Cairen to move." ”

A "shade" made Guo Zhi feel a little shocked for some reason. She couldn't see the scenery clearly in the screen, so she could only look up and see a long beam from above the screen.

Thinking of the scene that day, Guo Zhi shuddered.

Yesterday morning, she heard a movement, but it was the first time she had come to the main hall. Gao Qinqin, who was hanging on that beam, looked dead. I almost didn't scare myself out.

"Your talented family is really big-hearted, and you are not afraid of being asked for your life by ghosts in the middle of the night." Guo Zhi said, she shuddered first, turned around and walked quickly down the stairs towards her east side hall.

She's not going!

Hearing that the ghost was asking for his life, Liuji straightened his face and watched Guo Zhi leave coldly, so he lowered down to help Liu Ye pick up the things scattered on the ground.

Liu Ye took it and threw it into the dustpan on the side. She also heard what the princess said that night, so she went to her sister early the next morning to teach herself how to make a menstrual belt. Because I can't, I did it for two whole days before I barely managed to do one. was stepped on by Guo Cairen.

If you step on it, you can't use it.

Liu Ye huffed and went back to his house with the cloth basket, and only re-cut the cloth.

Liuji stood at the door, watched Liu Ye walk into his room, turned around and walked into the hall, told everything outside the hall, and then looked at Wen Qingwu.

"Master, will we allow Guo Cairen to be so arrogant?" Ruyoshi was a little angry, but he could bear it, but people as young as Liu Ye were bullied, and it was too undeserved.

Wen Qingwu looked at the sandbag on the ground and didn't speak.

"I heard that every winter in the Shanggong Bureau, there will be an assessment of the maidservant in front of the palace?" Wen Qingwu said.

Liuji nodded: "Every year before the winter solstice, the Shanggong Bureau will hold an assessment, and there is only one place every year, and the palace maids selected are the big palace maids who serve in front of the emperor." Ruyoshi didn't know why the master was asking this, so he replied truthfully.

Wen Qingwu had heard Liu Ye talk about it before.

It is an exam that all palace maids yearn for, and the places in the harem will become the great palace maids who serve His Majesty. He is one of the leaders of the temple. However, he will only stay in front of the palace for a year, and then he will be transferred to the head of the six palaces as a female official. Female officials who rose to high positions.

If the emperor thinks that the service is very good, he will be named to stay, which is the supreme honor, and he will stay for another year after the winter solstice.

Just as the scholars of the outer dynasties were respected for the champions of the imperial examination, the annual female official examination in front of the palace was also highly respected by the ladies of the harem.

It's just that the number of places is limited, and each palace has a fixed number, so those who can participate are the best among them.

"What are you going to do?" Wen Qingwu asked, "Manners?" Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting? ”

"Not really." Liuji shook his head: "It's not a choice of Niangniang, where will I take these tests." There is manners, but the important thing is the rules. The six canons in the palace and the palace rules. There are five parts: quantile recognition, instrument, moment, determination and nature. ”

Wen Qingwu looked at Liuji: "How do you say it?" ”

She had heard of the draft assessment, but it was the first time she had heard of the palace maid assessment.

"This knowledge is a test of knowledge; Etiquette, the test is the manners. Manners, manners, and postures must be tested; Moment, the test is the rules. Mainly examines the six canons and palace rules of the inner palace and the female red; Determination, the test is concentration. To put it bluntly, it is a grind, to see who can still serve the master in the best state after being tribulated. This one is different every year.

Sex is sex. The most important thing for a slave or maid is to be soft and docile. In this way, if you don't scold back, you can't fight back, and you can take the master as the sky. But at the same time, you have to be tough, you have to be able to control your mouth, and you can control your legs. Ruyoshi said roughly.

"In that case, the simplest thing is 'knowledge'." Wen Qingwu said: "It's just, what does a palace lady who serves people want to learn?" ”

"It's not learning." Ruyoshi explained: "Because I am serving in front of His Majesty's Palace, I need to be literate and combing documents to sort out the papers. Therefore, this literacy test actually depends on literacy. It's to see who can read more. ”

"Just a literacy test?" Wen Qingwu asked.

Ruyoshi nodded: "Just take the literacy test, and don't take the other test." ”

Wen Qingwu listened carefully. Literacy, although the dynasties are different, some fonts have changed, but most of them are still similar. I have read a lot of ancient books. It's still okay to be a palace maid.

"When is it usually set?" Wen Qingwu asked.

"Three days before the winter solstice." Ruyoshi said, puzzled: "The master wants to let Liu Ye participate?" ”

Wen Qingwu shook her head: "Where can I use her." ”

Ruyoshi nodded, too. Liu Ye's little girl sent to the Sixth Palace Exam and couldn't pass it.

"The book of the Six Classics of the Inner Palace and the Palace Rules may be found?" Wen Qingwu asked.

Ruyoshi nodded: "Yes." Then the slave and the maid went and fetched it. With that, he turned and walked out of the hall. Thinking of something, he stopped and turned his head to look at Wen Qingwu: "Master, do you want to bring some books on medicinal food by the way?" ”

Wen Qingwu shook his head: "Just put it aside for the time being." "It's useless for the time being.

……

……

In the middle of the night, Wen Qingwu sat on the couch and watched the "Six Classics of the Inner Palace". It was the sixth day she had moved in. That is, the seventh day of Gao Qinqin's death.

"Master, the hour is getting short." Ruyoshi walked into the couch and said.

Wen Qingwu looked at the sky, put down the book in his hand, and walked to the bed to lie down.

"The slave has turned off the lights?" Ruyoshimichi.

After a while, I saw that Wen Qingwu did not respond. So he stepped forward and cut the wick and exited the outer hall.

Ruyoshi slept on duty in the outer hall. After lying down, Wen Qingwu quickly fell asleep.

In a daze, Wen Qingwu felt that someone was knocking on the bed. But he couldn't wake up. His mind gradually cleared up, but he was pressed on the bed and couldn't move. wanted to call Ruyoshi, who was on duty outside, but he couldn't open his mouth.

Isn't it a ghost press?

She didn't have anything to fear, she was just a ghost herself.

Wen Qingwu simply didn't move, first took a deep breath, and let his body relax as much as possible. Then I felt someone talking in my ear. But I couldn't hear what was being said.

The fingers moved slowly, and it took a long time for the body to slowly regain consciousness. When he regained consciousness, he heard a voice in his ear and said faintly: "Wen Qingwu, you return my life." ”

Finally having sensed, Wen Qingwu moved, and then opened his eyes. Turning his head to look at his ear.

The eye touches, but there is nothing.

"Who?" Wen Qingwu slowly turned his head and looked into the room. The room was empty, and suddenly white floated in the corner of the eye. Wen Qingwu fixed his eyes, but he didn't see anything else.
