Chapter 1 Interview at the Palace
"Six girls!!"
Shen Jinyan was in a daze and wanted to fall asleep, when he was woken up by a roar from his uncle.
"Uncle ......"
Shen Jinyan muttered a little aggrieved, it's so annoying, it's very immoral to disturb other people's sleep, okay!!
Shen Zhenguang, the eldest lord of Dongfu, couldn't help but feel depressed when he saw his niece's sleepy-eyed appearance.
It's just that when he thought of the noble person behind his niece, he sighed and said, "Sixth girl, this female official primary election is a matter of family honor and disgrace, and the four of you sisters are the hope of our Shen family."
No matter what quarrels there are in the past, from this moment on, forget about them all.
If anyone ignores sisterhood because of personal grudges and hinders the future of the family, don't blame me for being ruthless.
How many of you, did you hear that? ”
After speaking, he also focused on the cousins.
Jin Yan blinked Ba's big black and round eyes, and said in his heart, which cousin I have had a dispute with?
We have always followed the path of Buddhism without disputing the world, okay?
"My niece obeys her uncle's teachings." Before Jin Yan could figure it out, the seventh sister Jin Hui replied obediently.
"My niece obeys her uncle's teachings."
Although Jinhiko's head is still in the process of crashing, it does not prevent her from parroting.
It's just that the attitude is not prudent and respectful, and the eyes are not clear.
Then, his sister and cousin agreed in response.
When he got into the carriage, he saw a wooden box near the door, which contained a pot of cool white keache, two cloaks, two umbrellas, and a cloth bag.
Open the cloth bag, and inside are six white-flour steamed buns and ten eggs.
It must have been put by my mother and sister-in-law, no wonder my sister-in-law winked at me just now.
Jinhiko couldn't help but smile and squint.
In normal times, she wouldn't eat the white-flour steamed buns if she was killed, she always ate steamed buns and porridge, and she had to serve six or seven side dishes.
But now in difficult times, it's better than being hungry.
She bit one in her mouth, and generously handed the white-flour steamed bun to her twin sister Shen Jinyuan, who was sitting opposite.
"Sister eat, I'm not hungry." Jin Yuan looked at the white-flour steamed bun and shook his head.
Seeing this, Jin Yan was not polite, so he started eating.
It is said that today's female official primary election will not be able to go home in the evening, that is, she will not have to eat for a whole day.
Thinking of this, Jin Yan nibbled on the steamed buns even more energetically.
After gnawing on one, when Jin Yan continued to gnaw on the second one, Jin Yuan couldn't help it, so he said, "You eat less, in the palace, you can't go to the toilet, when the time comes, what will you do?" ”
Jin Yan swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth slowly, and then said, "But I'm hungry, so I won't eat another one." ”
Hmm, the other three are kept to eat when they come out, and as for the ten eggs, they are inconspicuous and brought into the palace, right?
Stuff her stomach as long as she has the opportunity, she doesn't want to faint in the palace with hunger!!
Thanks to the clothes of the female officer, after a while, Jinhiko filled ten eggs.
Ever since she learned from Jin Yuan that the clothes for the female officer's interview were uniformly customized, she had been thinking about what food to prepare and bring to the palace.
Sugar and meat are the most hungry, but the smell of sugar is heavy, and it is easy for nobles to smell the taste.
As for the meat, how can you eat tasteless white meat!!
Come to think of it, let's bring eggs.
Separately stuffed in different parts, one was found, and there were others.
Didn't Li Chaoren, the richest man in China, say that you have to put your eggs in different baskets!!
And eggs are just a little bit more hungry than meat!!
I don't think I'm going to go hungry today!!
As for Jin Yuan, who was sitting opposite, he didn't open his head, if he had a choice, he really didn't want to be in the same car as his sister.
It's just that she doesn't want to be together with the other two.
The Shen Mansion was not far from the Imperial City, and the carriage had arrived after walking for half an hour.
Several people said goodbye to Shen Zhenguang, and under the leadership of the eunuch, they lined up according to their age and height, and entered the palace in turn.
Jinhiko was eager to see what was the difference between the current imperial city and the modern Forbidden City.
After all, the so-called Da'an Dynasty she is now is also after the Yuan Dynasty, and many of the measures taken by the previous Emperor Renzong are especially like those of the Crossing Colleagues.
It's just that from time to time, there are little eunuchs running back and forth, telling them not to look around.
In addition, some time ago, Jin Yan also learned the rules from Mama Qiu in the eldest princess's mansion, so he patiently did not look around.
After a while, they entered a palace, and the eunuchs called their names in turn, and those who were called followed the eunuchs to be reviewed.
The wait was extremely long, and I don't know how long I waited until my name was finally called.
I heard my mother Yang mention it before, although it is said that it is a female official, and some women do it after marriage, but most of the female officials are still not married.
To put it bluntly, in fact, a large part of the royal family and clan marriages are all selected by female officials.
Therefore, some physical examinations will be carried out to make her have to be patient and patient.
She was taken into a room by the little eunuch, and she thought that the physical examination would be done by a few grandmothers, but who knows, it was actually three eunuchs in their forties and fifties......
Several eunuchs saw that Jin Yan did not salute them, and looked at them with frightened eyes, and immediately lowered their faces.
Among them, the eunuch sitting in the middle had already been instructed by the nobleman, but he was not angry, but just took a piece of paper from the table and said, "Read it." ”
Read? Read what?
After three seconds of crashing, Jinyan's brain suddenly woke up, it turned out that it was not a physical examination, but a poetry test!!
Therefore, he obediently saluted, and then took the paper from the eunuch's hand, and read it slowly.
After reading it, Jinhiko obediently put the paper on the table, and then blinked his eyes and motioned to the eunuchs to come up with the next question.
Eunuch: After the exam, don't you hurry up and put down your purse and go out, won't this delay things!!
Fortunately, a little eunuch came in to tell him that the next female official to be selected had arrived, and the eunuch sitting in the middle motioned for the little eunuch to take Jin Yan out first.
"Grandpa Wei, I'm afraid this girl has a bad brain, right?"
The eunuch sitting on the left said speechlessly.
Do you understand the rules, but you don't know what it means to put a purse?
As the emperor's side, they really regarded gold and silver as dung, to tell the truth.
But those who have no roots have nothing else to pursue, and they can only pursue the pleasure of touching the dung.
"Yes, I heard that this sixth lady of the Shen family was born stupid, and now that she looks at it, it's quite ......."
The eunuch sitting on the right felt that although the above had confessed, if such a quality was handed over, when the time came, if something happened and disturbed the nobles, who could afford it!!
The eunuch who was called Gonggong Wei smiled, and then said, "This is the person the eldest princess pointed out, not to mention that the reaction is just slower, even if it is really stupid, we have to report this list." ”
Although Gonggong Wei was a little unhappy that Jin Yan did not give "filial piety".
However, his mind couldn't help but think about it a little more.
Who is the eldest princess, a few decades ago, she was the one who led an army of 200,000 to fight back the barbarians, and was named the princess of the protector by the first emperor.
You say that such a person would look down on a stupid girl?
Do you still recruit people into the Princess Protector's Mansion from time to time?
If you believe, then you are stupid!!
Is it difficult, what does that mean?
Gonggong Wei couldn't help but think.
