Chapter 1: Entering the Palace
On that day, the prefect's yamen was lit up, and the prefect led the family to kneel at the door of the yamen to receive the order, and the eldest lady Situ Nian and the second lady Situ Su were awarded the title of Baolin, which was a supreme glory! The people rushed to tell each other, the prefect is really an ancestor of virtue, and there are two palace concubines in one door, and he will definitely soar in the future, and the future is immeasurable!
In the small inn in the capital, the Situ sisters are leading their maids to kneel in the direction of home in the guest room, two days ago, there was a father-in-law to issue an edict, today should be the day when the holy decree arrives home, I don't know if my father and mother are happy or sad when they know the news. I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, how could I have thought of this parting when I left home, but I didn't know when we would see each other again. My sister was about to cry when she saw her sister, so she hurriedly came up and persuaded: "Sister, don't be sad, this is a great joy, my father and mother must be full of joy, and my aunt will come in a while, if she sees it, she should say that we don't understand the rules." As he spoke, he immediately stepped forward to help his sister up. Most of the show girls in this session are the daughters of Beijing officials, even the daughters of local officials have many close relatives and distant friends in Beijing, and they live in the government or mansion to learn the rules and wait to enter the palace, only their sisters live in this small inn, which is to blame Situ Prefect for being honest and honest on weekdays, and the most taboo party and private business, and there are not even one or two close friends in Beijing. The aunts are all the best people in the palace, and seeing their shabby rewards, they are extremely strict in teaching, and they don't know how many times they have to practice sitting and walking and kneeling every day, and they dare not speak out. Thinking of this, Situ Nian hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, sat down properly, and thought of the day when he entered the palace in the future, he couldn't help but worry about his eyebrows, fortunately, their sisters were all selected, although they were not born by the same mother, they have been close since childhood, and they will also support each other in the future.
After a few days, a little girl came to report that Mrs. Situ and Aunt Song were going to enter Beijing to give them a dowry in the near future.
Mrs. Situ and Aunt Song arrived in the evening, and the sky was like a brocade of sunset and colorful that the mountains in the distance, the walls in the distance, the ridges of the roofs, the tops of the trees and the street entrances were covered with a layer of colorful veil, and the beauty was looming and fluttering!
As soon as she entered the guest room, Mrs. Situ pounced on her and hugged Su'er, "My son, your father has always been honest, and he only has so much money for you to prepare, and he has let you live in this pickled place and be looked down upon, I am really wronged by you!" Saying that, he cried loudly, Situ Nian couldn't help but shed tears in Aunt Song's arms when he saw his mother-in-law so sad, this is her biological mother, but because she is a concubine, she can only follow the brothers and sisters in the family to call her aunt! It is said that the harem is the land of wolves and tigers, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life, although she has a concubine daughter who has also been carefully taught since childhood, but after all, her father is a small position, and he is lazy, and he only knows a little bit of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how to settle down in the future?
"What did my mother say, my daughter never felt wronged, my father always taught us not to forget our roots, as long as we do the right thing and speak softly, not to mention that after all, my father is an official who worships the prefect, let's follow the rules in everything, be cautious, and be worthy of our conscience, so why bother to be self-conscious!" But Situ Su actually has some female middle school husbands at the moment.
"Su'er is right, my mother is old and confused! Your father has something to tell you, and he says that he does not ask you to shine on the lintel, but to ask my son to die in peace! These words caused a room full of people to cry!
The days of having my mother by my side always fly by, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day to enter the palace. The two sisters got up early to freshen up and dress up, and after bidding farewell to their mother with tears, they were picked up by the mighty guard of honor in a sedan chair.
When the two sisters stood at the gate of the Splendid Palace, they seemed to be still in a dream, and the sedan chair fell off the road along the way, and followed the inner supervisor from the Shunzhen Gate to come all the way to the eaves and arches, the magnificent Splendid Palace.
