The head of the Sixth Bureau's Matching Institute is a believer. After these new palace maids are trained, most of them are assigned to various palace rooms to do miscellaneous work. Now the concubines who can be directly favored are going to serve in front of them, which is a happy event that has reached the sky, so they are all carefully familiar with the costumes and are waiting early.

Entering the north palace and turning the palace road, passing through a forest of falling flowers, the sedan chair stopped at the door of the courtyard, and there were already a few palace maids waiting in front of them. You can't see the master in the hospital on weekdays, and Pillow Spring came over in person, which is a big deal in the hospital.

A shrewd-looking young female officer, dressed in a peach-colored placket, stepped forward and saluted with a smile: "Welcome to Ming Guiyi!" ”

Pillow Chun got down from the sedan chair, collected the bronzed jade-colored Tibetan pleated six-piece skirt, let Su Bai gently brush off the tidbits that fell on the edge of her eight treasures, and pushed the emerald sapphire red gold hairpin on the bun with her fingertips, and said softly: "Reward." ”

Su Bai bowed his head, said nothing, took out a purse embroidered with a ruyi pattern from his cuff, and handed it to the female official.

The female official saw that the pillow was magnificent, and her complexion was very bright, and the aunt beside her was very well-behaved. He had a little respect in his heart, and replied: "The slave maid is the palace maid in charge of the courtyard, called Hu Ying'er, thank you for the reward." Ming Guiyi came to the hospital today to select the next person, which is their blessing. ”

Seeing that the palace maid named Hu Ying'er could speak, and she knew each other very well, she nodded with satisfaction and helped Su Bai into the inner courtyard.

There were already many people waiting in the inner courtyard. In the front yard, there were about 100 palace ladies wearing the same standard of pale green palace clothes, standing respectfully, seeing that the pillow spring was dressed luxuriously and hugged in, they all sang and said: "Ming Guiyi is blessed." ”

Hu Ying'er followed behind Zhuchun and explained: "There are hundreds and twenty new palace ladies here, all of whom have just been trained and have not yet been sent to various palaces. ”

Su Bai asked politely, "Are they all from ordinary backgrounds?" ”

Hu Ying'er whispered: "The first hundred are the daughters' families who were selected to enter the palace, and the last twenty are the sinful bodies that have not been enslaved." ”

The corners of Zhu Chun's eyebrows moved, and he didn't speak, entered the small hall in front of the courtyard, and sat on the soft chair at the door. Then the palace lady who was in charge came forward to fan and serve tea, and she was very attentive. She ate tea on one wall, glanced at it slightly, and saw that everyone in charge was acting with Hu Ying'er's eyes, which showed that Hu Ying'er was able to call the shots. Then he asked: "The owner wants to pick two girls, honest and young, if you can read and write, it would be the best." ”

"These girls are young and not many can read." Hu Ying'er thought for a while, and then said: "There are a few of them, they are from Lejing's good family, and they have taught literacy at home." Then he said loudly to a column of small palace ladies, "The Tang clan, the Wang clan, and the Su clan come forward." ”

I saw three eleven or twelve-year-old girls come up and kowtow.

Although the three of them were dressed exactly the same, Tang's head was decorated with a yellow, orange and orange silk flower, which was particularly obvious, and she was the first to reply: "The slave's family is a tenant in the suburbs, and my mother has taught me a few words." The slave's mother was originally a merchant in Lejing, if she was not down, she would not be a tenant, and her mother often said that she could please her husband's family after reading and reciting poetry, and she might be able to marry a showman! Ming Guiyi's little master and slave maid know, and the palace is talking! There is a personal slave beside the little master of Ming Guiyi, who was pointed out to the Guangping Marquis Mansion as the wife of the main house! That's ......."

Su Bai coughed lightly.

Hu Ying'er showed a look of hatred that iron is not steel, and interrupted: "Foolish thing with no eyes, next!" ”

The Wang family was born with an ordinary appearance, but the etiquette was thorough, and the short body replied: "Back to the little master, the slave maid Wang, there is an uncle in the family who runs a rouge stall, and the slave and maid can keep a few accounts." So he kept his mouth shut.

"How old are you, and what else will you have?" Pillow Spring asked.

Wang lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Pillow Chun, and said, "Back to the little master's words, it's twelve." After thinking about it again, "Aunt Hu taught the slaves and maids the etiquette on weekdays, and also did some needlework. The slave and the maid are ...... I will also mix some rouge gouache. ”

Hu Ying'er saw that this Wang's cleverness was not in vain for her usual teaching, and she also said a good word for her: "This girl is right, and the rules and regulations are indeed right." ”

Pillow spring jaw head.

Hu Ying'er passed on a Qian family, and said: "The little master of Ming Guiyi likes to be literate, and this Su family is no better." Su's elder brother works in a school, and I heard that Qian can also write two lines of poetry. ”

I saw a little girl with a weak willow helping the wind stepping up, and her voice was like a mosquito fly: "Slave Su, small character Wanjun." She looked up at Pillow Chun, "The slave has loved to read since she was a child, and she read "The Story of the Blue Hairpin" and "White Horse Talk" when she was a child."

"The Story of Bichai" is a popular book, the love story of the former founding emperor of the Li Dynasty and a palace lady named Jin Bichai. This "White Horse Story" is also the favorite story of southern storytellers, telling the legendary love story of the eldest young master of the Xie family and a little maid of a large family.

Pillow Chun smiled when he heard this: "What you see is quite strange, I think it should be a good background." ”

Su Shi's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he wiped the corners of his eyes with his cuffs and said: "The slave maid is the only daughter in the family, and there are also subordinates in the family, and the neighborhood calls Miss Su's ......" He cried faintly as he said it.

Pillow Chun said in his heart, this girl is so angry, where is she a slave, I'm afraid I don't want to invite a young lady back.

"This girl doesn't understand the rules, and Ming Guiyi forgives her sins." Hu Ying'er hid her embarrassed look, a little scared, "You ......"

Before he finished drinking a cup of tea, he put it on the table: "That's it, the owner is just here to take a look." ”

"What about you...... Want to take a second look? A layer of delicate sweat appeared on Hu Ying'er's forehead. Ming Guiyi is one of the most favored concubines today, and she came to the courtyard to pick people, but none of them were satisfied. If it reaches the ears of the Long Live Lord, the upper authorities will scold her for having no way to train her subordinates.

Pillow Chun felt that Hu Ying'er was shrewd but also interesting, and had no intention of embarrassing her, so he said: "The Wang family is good, let's send Qi Yunxuan tomorrow." ”

Hu Ying'er breathed a sigh of relief and showed two smiles: "The slave knows." ”

Su Bai helped the pillow to get up, and Xiao Xizi hurriedly went out to spread the news. For a while, the palace ladies in the courtyard all looked at the Wang family, revealing all kinds of eyes. Wang is a duty, and he only bows his head silently behind him.

Pillow Chun only walked a few steps, but saw that among the girls waiting behind the crowd, there was a little Gong'e who looked very dazzling. It's not that she is dressed up and eye-catching, but that Gong'e was born white and red, and there is a three-point charm between her eyebrows, and she is a beautiful embryo.

"These are the twenty I just told you about." Hu Ying'er saw that Pillow Spring had a look of concern, so she said, "This is Shi's." ”
