The two flag show girls who were re-selected first, and the people who stayed accounted for half of the original, and after the show girls heard about their outstanding performance, they all tried to find out what the content of the test was. But the show girl who was put off the sign left quickly, and the one who left the sign had their own thoughts, and they didn't want to reveal it, and the show girl in the same palace might be able to hear some clues, but the one in Zhong Cui Palace couldn't inquire at all.

Originally, some people wanted to inquire from Na Danzhu, but she moved from Chuxiu Palace, and she was also the first batch to participate in the second election. It's just that although she wasn't branded, her temper was even worse, and she threw things indiscriminately, almost not injuring the show girl who came to ask her. When Aunt Wen Jing came to stop her, she also scolded: "My aunt and grandmother are the most noble women in this Forbidden City!" Why should I marry that kind of man who has no ability! ”

Aunt Wen Jing could only try to appease her, but fortunately, someone soon took her out of the palace, and calm was restored in Zhong Cui's palace. Later, everyone inquired, it turned out that the county lord was pointed out to a son named Yuanxiao of the Shuncheng County King on the same day, although the status was noble, but he was a careless person, and the title was only the prince of Zhenguo, which was far from the goal that her father and uncle originally hoped to be at least a prince.

In the end, it was a certain show girl who bribed heavily to find out from the palace maid that female popularity was the first item to be examined. Everyone immediately talked about it, and Shuning only then knew that there were still many girls under her umbrella who were not good at needlework, and a half-hung person like Lian Wanning was already of a medium level among the show girls.

This is not a regular exam question for the draft, and it is inevitable that some people will feel nervous. Yuan Ning was one of them, and she couldn't help but reveal it to Shu Ning. She said she hadn't done needlework for a long time and didn't know what to do.

Shuning thought about it for a while, and asked her if she really wanted to choose, and when she nodded, she said: "If you have a way to find something like a colored rope, I will teach you to tie the rope, this only needs to be practiced a few times, and it can still be achieved quickly." "Yuan Ning's father is from the prince's side, and he is also an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I heard that the palm is something like fat powder needlework fabric, so it should be a bit of a way.

Sure enough, Yuan Ning found all the things after lunch, and Shu Ning asked her what she wanted to fight, so she taught her to fight. After Yuan Ning learned. I don't mention it when I go to practice. Shuning was concentrating on practicing the piano next to her.

There were all kinds of sounds coming from the entire Zhong Cui Palace, but the strange thing was that Wan Ning and the big girl's room were always very quiet. The big girl's talent seems to be playing the piccolo, and for some reason she ran to the empty room next to the main hall to practice, which caused the show girl who practiced dancing there to roll her eyes.

Wan Ning stayed in the room. Close the door and close the door, even if you are sweating profusely in the heat. Shuning also asked her privately, but she just smiled mysteriously and refused to reveal half a sentence.

Another day passed. Finally, it's the turn of the two red flags. The night before preparing for the re-election, Shuning and Yuanning took out all the clothes and headdresses they were going to wear tomorrow and put them away, and saw that everyone was asleep. Then he blew out the lamp and went to sleep. Soon. Then he heard a knock at the door. As soon as Shuning got up, she saw that the door was pushed back and forth a few times. It's open, and a man runs in.

She was startled and was about to scream, but she heard the man say, "It's me." "It turned out to be Wan Ning.

Shuning frowned and was about to speak, but Wanning leaned over to her bedside and whispered that she couldn't sleep.

Yuan Ning on the other side snorted coldly and said, "What's the matter with us?" Aren't we going to sleep? ”

Shuning couldn't see Wanning's expression in the dark, and only heard her say to herself, "I want to come and sleep with you......"

Yuan Ning interrupted her: "You are used to talking in your dreams, and you will quarrel with us!" Ming'er has a big event, you go back to your own house quickly! ”

"If I talk in my dreams, you will slander me." Wan Ning ignored her, only shook Shu Ning's hand, "Okay, let's be so good, what's the matter?" Your bed is big enough. ”

Shuning was not used to sharing a bed with people, and was hesitating when she suddenly heard a scream outside, waking up the entire courtyard. Wan Ning said with some hesitation: "Why does it sound like the voice of a big girl?" Yuan Ning frowned, immediately turned over and got up, lit the lamp and went out, and Shuning Wanning also followed.

There were a number of show girls gathered outside the room of Wan Ning and the big girl, and they were talking about it, when they suddenly ran away screaming in a panic. Yuan Ning lit up the room with the lamp in her hand, and found that the big girl wearing a green cloth robe was hiding in the corner of the bed, shivering, and on the ground not far from her, a black mouse was looking around, seeing the light here, she hurriedly hid under the bed, and the big girl was already crying.

Aunt Wen Jing brought the palace maid over, and when she saw this, she immediately ordered Ruixin to get the cicada trap, personally went out to catch the mouse, and ordered Ruixin to take it away.

Wan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but she still couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?!" How can there be rats in our house?! ”

Wen Jing said lightly: "This is my negligence, it won't happen again in the future." Wanning refused to give up, and was about to ask again, but she heard the big girl suddenly cry loudly, and when she looked back, she saw her holding an autumn-colored colored satin cheongsam and crying bitterly, and said in her mouth: "That mouse...... Bit my best clothes......"

Wan Ning was shocked, and hurriedly ran to the hanger next to her to take a closer look, making sure that the clothes she was going to wear tomorrow were okay, and then she was relieved. But hearing the big girl crying so badly, I couldn't bear it.

The onlookers listened to it and walked away. Wen Jing coughed lightly and said, "It's late at night, please go back to the room as soon as possible." "And then also gone.

The Shuning sisters all knew that the eldest girl's family was not good, and it was her mother who bought the only good clothes because she was a dowryman. Shuning was a little regretful, she was taller and the size of her clothes was wrong, so she looked up at Wanning. At this time, Wan Ning also spoke: "Okay, okay, don't cry, all my clothes, except for the one I want to wear, you can choose whichever one you like." ”

The big girl raised her eyes to look at Wanning, and then slowly stopped crying. Seeing that it was okay, Shuning said, "Sisters, go to bed early, let's go back." Then he pulled Yuan Ning back to the room.

After breakfast the next day, Shuning changed into a light pink flag suit, combed her hair, wore a velvet lotus flower, and hung a small colorful spike bag on the placket. For fear that it will be inconvenient to play the piano and do work, except for a pair of pearl pendants. I didn't wear any more jewelry. Then I put on light makeup and looked in the mirror, but I was a little proud, and I was also a beautiful woman when I dressed up.

Yuan Ning was wearing jade-colored clothes, although she was also a small two-handed, but she had two chic gemstone hairpins. While hanging a bag on her chest, she asked, "Isn't the third sister dressed too plain?" Wear more jewelry, right? Shuning said: "That's enough, otherwise it will be very inconvenient when playing the piano, and I advise you to wear less." There was a disaster this year. The palace must not like luxury. Yuan Ning was stunned, so she took down the gem hairpin and replaced it with two jasper hairpins.

When I went out, there were also show girls coming out of the two rooms opposite. As soon as they looked at each other, they all chatted a little, and one of the show girls immediately returned to the room. Shuning and Yuanning looked at each other, both a little speechless. Thinking about the temptation of rebirth, everyone is dressed up according to the latest fashion in Beijing. It's all pink flags

It is a small two heads, both wearing lotus flowers, and both hanging sachets in the front placket. It's probably going to be embarrassing.

Shuning also had the intention to change, but after thinking about it. I just want to be selected. It's not to stand out. Why dress up so conspicuously, forget it. Yuan Ning felt that her taste was different. Secretly rejoicing.

The two came to Wanning's room to look for her, but their eyes couldn't help but light up.

The flag dress on Wanning's body now is the same style as the regular clothes of that day, but the color has been changed to powder blue, light pink and light purple, and the placket, sleeves and hem are embroidered with simple butterfly patterns, which makes Wanning more and more like a fairy descending to earth. Although she combed her head with two small handfuls of hair like everyone else, the pink silk yarn flowers she wore were dotted with crystal beads, crystal flower pendants on her ears, and colorful silk knotted crystal pendants hanging in front of her placket were all matching. The bottom of the flower pot under his feet, the butterfly embroidered on the upper of the shoe, and the small crystal beads on the two short tentacles are trembling step by step.

She smiled and spun around and asked, "Is it good-looking?" Shu Ning nodded blankly, Yuan Ning wanted to turn her head away with disdain, but she couldn't help but sneak a peek out of the corner of her eye. Wan Ning smiled smugly, went back to the mirror and looked at it, before starting to put on her makeup.

The big girl turned out from behind the screen, and Shuning found that she was wearing the light green and yellow-edged pink sleeve regular clothes, and even the beaded flowers on her head were also worn by Wanning the day before yesterday. The big girl looked at them embarrassedly and whispered, "I'll go first." Then he left the room.

Shuning urged Wanning, but the latter said: "Got it, don't rush me, it'll be fine soon." But he hummed a song in his mouth. Yuan Ning was impatient, so she simply took the first step, but Shuning was dragged by Wan Ning's voice, so she had to stay with her.

The other show girls left one after another, and the remaining two Blue Flag landers also began to practice. Shuning went to the main hall to look at the clock, and knew that there was still half an hour left, so she was a little relieved. Back in the room, Wan Ning had already begun to sing. Shuning wanted to urge again, but suddenly her heart moved, wondering if Wanning would be opening her voice and planning to sing during the re-election?

Wan Ning was finally done, smiled and took Shu Ning's hand and walked out, when she walked out of Zhong Cui's door, she suddenly fell forward for some reason, Shu Ning was strange, but she found that she seemed to have stepped on something, the sole of her shoe was crooked, and then there was a burst of pain in her heart, and the whole person fell to the side.

When I looked closely, I noticed that a wooden stick had somehow been placed in front of the threshold, which seemed to be a wooden handle on the broom floor. They didn't know that they were wearing the bottom of the pot and stepping on it, and the stick rolled and they turned their feet. Wanning fell harder, her palms were broken, oozing blood, and her feet were so painful that she couldn't move. Shuning was better, but her ankle was also very painful.

When Aunt Wen Jing heard the voice, she hurriedly called someone to help the two of them back to Wanningdi's room, and asked someone to ask for a doctor. She advised them to recuperate from their injuries first, and not to choose today. Although Wanning was unwilling, she couldn't help it. Shuning disagreed.

She is different from Wan Ning, she is not a person with a definite future, if she misses this re-election, God knows when she will have another chance? Tongying is still waiting, how can she give up first?!

She rubbed her ankle for a while, and felt better, so she asked Ruifu for two strips of white cloth, wrapped her ankle around it, put on her socks, and stepped on the ground, although it still hurt, but she could barely bear it. So he quickly went back to the house to change out of his dusty clothes, changed into a light green one, and walked to the meeting place accompanied by Aunt Wen Jing.

Fortunately, the place where they re-elected was Jiang Xuexuan, which was very close to Zhong Cui Palace, and soon after she arrived, Concubine Rong's big car arrived. The female red who took the exam first in the morning was presided over by this mother.

The people saluted and sat down at twenty small tables. Yuan Ning, who was sitting on the right side of Shuning, looked at her worriedly, she smiled and said that it was okay, but she saw the big girl sitting on the left, for some reason her clothes were wet and a little embarrassed.

A grandmother announced the exam questions and asked the show girls to do a needlework with the materials on the small table, with a time limit of one and a half hours. Concubine Rong listened to Wen Jing's report and knew that Wan Ning couldn't come, so she smiled and said: "Since you are the person on the tip of the fifth elder brother's heart, Mama Hu, you bring something to her, and watch her do it by the way, don't delay." Mama Hu should go down. The show girls made a noise, but soon began to work.

Shuning looked at it, there was a small piece of white cloth, a small piece of brocade, a small piece of red silk, a few colored silk threads, and a wisp of black and white threads, and after thinking about it, she had an idea. Inadvertently looked to the right, and saw that Yuan Ning was in a daze, so he guessed what she was embarrassed about, rolled his eyes, coughed lightly, and took three red threads to weave the rope. Yuan Ning looked over, her eyes lit up, and she immediately started to weave the rope.

Shuning divided the brocade into several pieces according to the pattern, and then put it into a butterfly shape, twisted the red silk into the same shape, and embroidered the pattern on the top with silk threads, and then sewed the two pieces of cloth together, turned them over, and left only a hole at the top. Then she made a tassel with silk thread, tied a plum knot, twisted the remaining fabric into small pieces, and stuffed it into the "butterfly", until it was tightly plugged, then sewed the opening, added the tassel, and then used the red rope to tie a knot at the top, covering the thread, and by the way, it became a rope. A bamboo bag is ready, just enough to use up all the materials.

She breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that half of them had already turned in their work. Concubine Rong was full of praise for everyone's needlework, and specially took out a peony embroidery, Shuning's embroidery bag and Yuanning's goldfish luozi, saying that it was one of the best works, and said that Yuanning made a goldfish, maybe it can really jump the dragon gate.

Wanning's work was also handed in, but it was okay, Concubine Rong praised a few words, and let everyone have lunch first.

I can't eat enough at this meal, because there are nobles watching from above, and every show girl is extraordinary. After eating, Concubine Rong laughed with everyone for a while, and then ushered in the concubine, Concubine Yi, Concubine De, Concubine Hui and other low-grade concubines.

Shuning knew that the play meat had arrived, so she saluted with everyone, and suddenly there was a pain in her feet, and the secret way was not good, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it.

The talent show begins, and the first one is the big girl. She trembled and played the flute, but all the concubines frowned, and Concubine Yi asked, "What kind of clothes are you wearing?" Don't you know what it means to be neatly dressed? Don't get out of the way yet! ”

The big girl held back her tears, bowed and retreated, and when she heard the eunuch announce "Zheng Hongqi Tatara clan, put up the sign", tears suddenly flowed out. Shuning was shocked.

The next one was Wanning, and when she heard that she was absent due to a foot injury, the concubines had different expressions, but the concubines still smiled and said, "Then let's go next." ”

Shuning soon had her turn. She stepped forward to salute, and the maid had already put on the piano, and after sitting down in front of the piano, she took a deep breath and told herself to forget the pain in her feet, and then moved her fingers and began to play.

She felt that this time was better than when she was practicing, and she almost forgot everything next to her, and when she was playing to the critical point, she heard a loud noise from above. It turned out that Concubine Yi suddenly put the tea bowl on the table.

This was a trivial matter, but Shuning had already been affected, and his subordinates were half a beat slower.
