Four hundred and twenty-three jade bracelets
In August of the fourteenth year of Yuanchang, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, another group of palace people were released in the palace. Eight? 1 Chinese Net = ≈≤.≥8≥
Speaking of which, these are all the virtues of the saints today. Although there is a rule for releasing people in the palace, there is a time every few years, but if you count forward, the release of people at that time is to release the old and unbearable. These people have been in the palace all their lives, and when they come out, they have no home to run to, and they have no livelihood to make a living, and some people don't even know how to live outside the palace and how to deal with people, and if they are released, they will die. It is not benevolent at all for the palace to let them out, it is purely because they feel that they can't do their work, and they are unwilling to raise such idlers for nothing, and they are driven out in order to get rid of their burdens.
Today, people are released in the palace, but those who are older and homeless and unwilling to go out are left, but younger people are released, many palace maids are not yet thirty years old, and it is not a problem to remarry someone after going out. Some people inquired about the truth and invited the official media to say that they agreed, and many palace people got married directly out of the palace.
Most people didn't notice how many people were released this time, but those who were interested still noticed that it was not only the palace people who were sold in the palace this time. There were a few low-grade pickers, Baolin and Cairen quietly disappeared. The palace where they once lived was empty, and they also took away the gold and silver that they had accumulated for several years.
After all, compared with the days of widowhood, some people are still willing to leave this big prison pit and go out to live a comfortable life with an extra dowry.
Gao Jieyu just shook her head when she heard the news.
For the people who left, she was a little envious and a little embarrassed, of course, she was still unconvinced: "I really can't think about it." What if you go out? The world is so unfair to women, it's just a big cage outside, and they think they can live a good life if they go out. ”
Chen Jieyu knew that she was hard-mouthed, and she didn't expose it, so she smiled and peeled the pears into pieces and put them on a small plate.
In fact, Chen Jieyu got the news that many of the people who went out this time were in charge of Zongzheng Temple and had already been married. I heard that one of the talented people was married to a broken sect disciple from a distant branch, and that person had no wife in front of him, and he did not leave any children. This time, I didn't have to spend a talented and good-looking beauty as my wife for a dowry, and I would have been happy for a long time. The women who can enter the palace through selection are basically unable to find any flaws, even if they are not stunning beauties, they are also extraordinary.
For that talented person, the master of Zongzheng Temple is not afraid that her husband's family will bully her arbitrarily in the future. A woman like her who has entered the palace, if she finds someone to marry outside, that person may wonder whether she is innocent, maybe she was fortunate by the emperor and picked up the royal green turban to wear. But Zongzheng Temple is the master of matching, so there is no need to worry about this.
It can be said that both of them are very satisfied. Since they are all rushing to get married and live a good life, most of the things they will encounter in the future will be able to negotiate and be harmonious.
With the first example, seeing that she is not unsettled, and she will be able to live in the future, the people who are already thinking about activities suddenly can't hold back, and after that, 66 people went out in a row. Among them is the deceased who once lived in the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion with Xie Ning, Liu Meiren. Her husband's family has also been found, he used to be a guard, and now he is a Wupin guerrilla general, and he will be released if he becomes a relative, which is exactly what Liu Meiren wants. Her home is in the capital, and her relatives and friends all know that she has entered the palace, and it is not easy for her to go home now. After getting married, he will follow him out of Beijing, and come back after five years or ten years, or even longer, and then this matter will fade away, and who cares about who's idle affairs.
Liu Meiren was also afraid that it would be difficult to go out, but she was really scared in the palace. There are too many such things that good people disappear without making a sound, and there are too many such things when they don't see people dead or corpses. The lives in the palace are too worthless, Liu Meiren has thought about going out before, even after being promoted from a talented person to a beauty, she has not settled her heart. Now that she finally has the opportunity to go out, and she is not afraid that she will not be landed after leaving the palace, she hesitated at first, and waited for someone to go out first, so she became anxious.
Fortunately, now that the matter has been settled, Liu Meiren is still nervous, and on the other hand, she packed up all the things she was going to take away, and the house was suddenly empty.
I used to live in my heart and didn't feel it, but now I'm leaving all of a sudden, and I'm a little reluctant to see this room.
The bed is used to sleeping, and she sits in front of the dressing table in front of the window every day to make up. Outside the window, there are two plantains planted against the wall, and when the weather is nice, the leaves reflect the green of the wall.
Before Liu Meiren left the palace, Yong'an Palace once beat people to come here. It was not someone else who came, it was the steward of the Houyuan in the past, and now the eunuch Zhou Yuchen, the chief administrator of Yong'an Palace.
He brought a reward from the concubine, and told Liu Meiren that she didn't have to go to Yong'an Palace to thank her.
"The master of the concubine said that if Liu Meiren still remembers the past and was together, she can also send a letter to the palace to ask for peace when she returns to Beijing in the future, don't cut off the news."
Liu Meiren bowed her head and responded.
When Zhou Yuchen left, when she opened the box of things to see, there were now some inconspicuous ornaments inside. A golden hairpin is at least four or two, and if you can't wear it when you go out, you can also melt it for flowers, or make it into other ornaments and wear it.
These are not the most important things.
Importantly, there is also a jade bracelet inside.
Compared with other ornaments, the color of this jade bracelet is not at all inconspicuous, some dark, some turbid. But Liu Meiren recognized it at a glance and held it tightly in her hand.
This is her bracelet.
It was an object given by her grandmother before she entered the palace. After the concubine was favored at that time, she wanted to beg the concubine to carry her, and she had nothing to do with it, so she gave this out as a gift, but she was actually reluctant in her heart, and she often remembered it later.
At that time, I gave the bracelet, and I didn't see any sound, and then the concubine moved away, Jin Feng, and they didn't have much contact with the old people in the past, she thought that this little thing was not in the eyes of people, maybe it was thrown away a long time ago, and I don't know where to go.
But I didn't expect the concubine to remember it all the time, and now she didn't return the bracelet to her.
Liu Meiren held the bracelet, and suddenly remembered what happened when they were primarily elected to the palace, it was the late spring weather, and the heat and cold were almost the same as now, when they sat on the stone bench and talked, she turned the bracelet on her wrist and said to Xie Ning: "This is given to me by my grandmother, our family has been passed down for several generations, and we didn't give my sister-in-law in our generation, but gave it to me." ”
At that time, the situation seemed to be still in front of me, but time was as if it was blown away by a strong wind, and it had been so many years since a gust of wind passed.
