Chapter 125: Going their own way
"Don't look at it, I already saw it when I entered the palace yesterday."
Early in the morning, a group of women wearing smoky blue silk jackets and lilac-embroidered bichiats stood in a line and walked all the way south in the direction of the palace wall.
They all wore gauze hats on their heads, and unlike the hairpins of the official female officials, their gauze hats were plain, except that they had a peach-colored ribbon more than the men's gauze hats.
A skinny woman couldn't help but look up at the scenery to the left and right, and her companion behind her gently poked her with his hand.
"There are so many people coming and going, don't look around."
"I, I am, just look." The woman looked back and stammered, "I thought I was dreaming."
The woman behind her was a little taller than her, with a goose egg face, thin willow eyebrows, and an elegant and quiet appearance.
"Hurry up and keep up."
The woman in front hurriedly followed with the corner of her clothes.
All the way to the front of a palace gate, the female officer who led the team glanced at the sun that had not yet risen, and asked them to stop first.
Don't be the best, she can take it with her and teach it slowly.
Xu Xuan couldn't hold back and looked at her a few more times.
The thin woman was really not a bold woman, and when she saw that her companion did not want to talk, she shrunk her neck and stood in place.
Because of this, even if she doesn't understand poetry and has no strengths, she was also selected as a female official.
When a sparrow landed on a branch, a woman from a family opened the window.
"That woman is the only Wan Chun Tao who has no official background in her ancestors this time?"
"Didn't you say that Duanji Hall was in the West Garden? Why is there a female official of Duanji Hall here?"
"I'm so sorry, I, I'm ......."
It's just that His Majesty asked her to do this matter cleanly, and she can't let these female officials be discredited first just because they are in the harem and they haven't done anything.
But it's such a girl who stands in the palace and doesn't know where she is right, and she actually took the first place in the subject of scripture.
「…… Yes, Xu Gongling."
"Gong Ling, this Wan Chuntao used to be a maid, but she was kicked out of the house because she was sick, and His Majesty said that as long as she can be selected for this female official selection, she will have an official body, and she will come to take the exam."
"Lord Gong Ling, the thinner one is Qi Xiaoxing, the first place in this female official pen and ink test, nineteen this year, Shandong, his parents died early, his grandmother is the eldest daughter of the former Marquis of Weiyuan, and his grandfather is ......."
Behind her, Lian Mo Niang was a little impatient, but she still said:
"Your Majesty has given some female officials to walk outside the court, this adult is wearing a red dress, and he should go to the Sixth Branch, but I don't know why this female official is so young."
"Last night, the female official sent a message, the place where Niangniang saw us was Qianqing Palace, this is Kunning Gate, and the one who just entered is the Imperial Doctor, and the corridor of Kunning Palace is the Imperial Doctor's office."
The thin woman immediately raised her head and stepped on her feet: "Yes, is the queen mother here?"
"Qi Xiaoxing climbed the wall to take the test, and after the test, he climbed back, and our holy decree of the good news came to the door, and the Qi family got the news."
Lian Mo Niang is well-versed in history, and it is just right to go to Duanji Palace, as for Qi Xiaoxing...... You can ask the Shangyi Bureau if you want it.
….
This person was not left by Xu Xuan for himself, His Majesty chose this one from a group of women's names and asked her to be transferred to the Imperial Palace, and she naturally had to do the same.
The thin woman who always looked up just now hurriedly turned around and apologized:
"Qi Xiaoxing also has a younger brother below, her grandmother wants to marry the maiden niece of the old lady Mi of Li Ge for her younger brother, so she wants to marry Qi Xiaoxing back to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and when His Majesty was convicted during the Northern Expedition, the matter was delayed. Knowing that her grandmother has a very high vision, ordinary people don't dare to come to the door to ask for marriage."
Lian Mo Niang sighed softly:
"No matter how much I know, after all, I didn't do well in the exam, Qi Xiaoxing Qi Champion, can you stand honestly?"
The thin woman hurriedly turned around and looked at her companion with a smile:
"Even girl, you are really
It's amazing! I know so much."
Xu Xuan looked at the end of the line, where there was a woman who was rude at first glance, standing out among a group of well-born female officials.
"Ma'am, a new embroidery pattern has arrived."
Xu Gongling has been in charge of palace affairs for many years, and the lives of hundreds of people, she can remember them after reading them in one night, especially Qi Xiaoxing is still the first place this time.
The morning bird spreads its wings and flies into the distance.
I already have a plan in my mind about where these two people are going.
"Her husband also wants her to take the female officer exam?"
"It's really a grandmother who has a plan for glory, and a granddaughter who has a ladder over the wall...... The latter one is the second place this time? I remember that her surname was Lian, Lian Mo Niang, the daughter of Lian Zhaowen, a doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy?"
The thin woman immediately turned back again.
The sun gradually rises and shines on everyone.
"Her grandfather was Qi Lingyun, the former historian of the museum, her father was also a former Jinshi, and her mother was also from an extraordinary background, so why is she not married at the age of nineteen?"
Wan Chuntao pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Really? Show me."
Xu Xuan nodded.
"Nothing."
"Back to the palace, she is the only daughter in the family, and her husband is a recruit."
Reaching out and opening a thin booklet, and after reading a few pages, the woman closed it.
"Exactly. Lian Mo Niang is 22 years old, married, and has a three-year-old daughter."
Naturally, she also wants to figure it out slowly.
Holding a stack of documents and wearing a red dress, it was Sheng Aya'er, the current head of the Duanji Palace.
This was really tactful, Xu Xuan frowned lightly and said:
"Mi has Xianghu Academy behind him, and he can also marry Li Ge Lao, Weiyuan Marquis holds the military power, and she also married her daughter into Shou'an Hou, her grandmother treats her pair of grandchildren as a strange commodity, and she is bound to exchange for the glory of the lintel. Then how can Qi Xiaoxing still come to the female officer exam?"
"To be admitted to the female official as a maid, this woman has perseverance, after the emperor and queen see these female officials for a while, they will come everywhere to ask for people, this Wanchun peach must stay."
The woman standing behind her sighed softly:
Wan Chuntao really can't be said to be a beautiful girl, and the lilac-colored embroidered nails look cramped on her body.
After a while, the sound of saluting came from a distance.
Qi Xiaoxing didn't know that her future had been remembered, and when she saw a woman walking by in a red dress, her eyes widened.
"In the past, everyone in this Splendid Club talked about books and plays, how comfortable was their lives? It's good now, it's all about female officials, female officials, female officials! It's just that Zhenjun is not there, and Shouyue Jun also wrote poems saying that women are officials, which is really annoying."
When she had finished complaining, the woman set the book aside.
"Anyway, whoever likes to do that female official, I will never do it, my family taught me poetry, calligraphy and painting, and let me grow up with such gold and dignity, but not to let me show my head and shame my family."
Siri Zhao: Isn't it? There are still people who think that they didn't become female officials because they didn't want to, not because they couldn't pass the exam?
Large-scale scrapping, tonight may not be able to get more, everyone rest early, I wrote down the three changes in a small notebook.
