As a palace maid, the first lesson is not to learn the rules, but to learn the official rank of the courtiers and the harem, Hu is out of office for many years, and for a time he was shocked by the generosity of King Yan of Wu.

"Is that true?" Hu Shi couldn't maintain his reserve anymore, and stared at his son with straight eyes: "Sanpin Master, King Yan can say that he is a good man..."

"As soon as the expenses go to the Yan Palace, Zhan Shi is only part-time, and the pharmacists still retain their positions after they get married, and they can receive Yulu from the Wu Wangfu on a monthly basis until they die of old age!" Zhen Zhiwen saw Hu's bite and hurriedly seized the opportunity.

"The disaster in the northwest is serious, if not properly managed, there will soon be a plague, Yan Wang said that the medicine is from a family of medical officials with rich experience, and there are many classic medical cases in the family, and they have a lot of achievements in the prevention and control of the disaster. There is already a former medicine Ji Yanran, regardless of her own safety, went to the northwest to assist in disaster relief, she is a weak woman, unable to untie her clothes, and rescued nearly 1,000 refugees.

King Yan said conclusively in the court, and he is willing to guarantee the position of King Yan, and those who hold salaries for everyone will never freeze to death in the wind and snow! The Yan Wangfu has hired Ji Si Yao as the west seat, and there is another position of Zhan Shi, and the daughter is grateful. ”

The Hu family originally listened with great interest, until the name "Ji Yanran" appeared, and it was easy to be stunned for a while, and asked: "That Ji Siyao, but, the daughter of the Chengling Ji family?" ”

"This, my son doesn't know."

Hu Shi thought for a moment, as if he had touched some long-ago memory, and his face showed a rare gentle look.

"Let's go a few girls, I'll fix a book tomorrow, and invite the old sisters in the former palace to come and see."

According to her experience as a palace maid, what difficult errands do nobles want to do, in order to make people active, they will give enough benefits at the beginning, and when the master's purpose is more than half, they will gradually use the money elsewhere, and at this time, many people have been preparing for a long time, and it is impossible to give up halfway, so they can only pinch their noses and admit it.

Therefore, although "there must be brave men under the heavy reward", no one can say how long this "heavy reward" can last.

As long as you pass the initial hospital examination, you will have 30 ingots.

Thirty ingots are enough to build a big brick house in Yunyang; enough to put a small shop on the most prosperous street in the county; Enough to buy twenty acres of fine paddy fields in the countryside...

Not to mention those small households, even she, the former palace maid who has seen the world, has to be moved.

When the Hu family was a palace maid, there were female officials in the palace, although the number was small, but their status was transcendent.

The female officials in the palaces are more decent than the palace maids who serve the elderly, and there is a special court reward according to the grade and the court officials during the New Year's holidays.

Female officials do things in the palace and walk between the palaces, not to mention those little palace maids, or the concubines who are slightly favored, they have to respect them for three points.

And because the female officials are organized in the harem, in addition to the monthly silver and the festival rewards of the previous dynasty, there are also rewards from the lords of the palace who ask them to do things. The Hu family once helped a concubine who was not favored to beg a female official to do something, and that reward alone was comparable to the monthly silver of a palace maid of her grade for two years!

The palace ladies usually live in the palace, the clothes are uniformly cut by the Shangfu Bureau, and they eat the meals of the Shangshi Bureau, and even when they are old enough to leave their jobs and get married, they are all handled by the director of the Shangyi Bureau in the palace, except for the occasional order in the kitchen, it hardly costs much money per month.

This dynasty treats the palace maids well, and does not let people die of old age in the palace, as long as the age is reached, please be kind, and you can be released from the palace.

Not to mention those female officials, but those ordinary palace maids, just because they have seen the etiquette rules in the palace, many wealthy merchants or squires are willing to hire a palace maid as a daughter-in-law or clan wife.

The Hu family is because of ten years of seniority in the palace, even if they are older, the Zhen family also spent a lot of money on the dowry to ask to marry her as a clan wife.

The palace maid is still like this, and the treatment of female officials is even better. Therefore, in addition to those officials who are not bad for money, those merchants and rich peasants and all those who have girls are all gearing up and eager to try.

Hu Shi concluded that this hospital examination must be as difficult as climbing to the sky, and the heavy reward of these 30 ingots is estimated to be the first year.

In another three years, the daughters of Shang Jia and the poor family will be married, and if they fail the exam, they can't keep taking the exam like men, and the popularity of the palace selection of female officials will definitely subside, and at that time, it will be a saint's grace to be able to get three taels of silver.

Although Hu was born in the court, he didn't mix up to the level of teaching his grandmother, in order to make a few girls succeed in one fell swoop, he also specially repaired the book, begged for the previous handkerchief, and asked someone to introduce an old man with rank.

The four brothers in the family, each with a daughter, including the dumb of the old four families, have to be supported now.

For the sake of the future of several girls, no, it should be said that for the sake of the large sum of money that each girl can bring, Hu specially cleaned up the yard where he lived for the new gentleman.

She was just a miscellaneous palace maid back then, where did she know any high-ranking grandmothers, and sent some letters, but they were all lost in the end.

However, Zhen Zhiwen has been working for Wu Wangfu all these years, and he has some friendship with the nephew of a wet nurse in the palace.

The nurse's surname is Shen, her father's family is a Pang Zhi of the Confucian, and Shen Mama herself is the nurse of the prince when he was young, and he returned to his hometown when he was old.

Zhen Zhiwen expected Mama Shen to introduce a palace maid who was not rich in money, who would have thought that this wet nurse who had some ways to come would come in person.

Mama Shen has been in the palace and the palace for many years, and she has never made a mistake, because she is not only well-informed, but also careful, and she was a little strange when she came: "I heard that there are four girls in your family, why did only three come today?" The rest of the one is sick? ”

Zhen Zhiwen didn't know where she heard about the four girls in the family, thinking that her mother wrote it in the letter, so she hurriedly covered it up: "Mother is a little confused when she is old, and the girl in the fourth room is a mute, so she won't delay her mother's work." ”

If you can be favored by the way of heaven and point to the "crown prince candidate", although you may not be able to become the emperor, but the crown princes explore the secret realm together, travel the rivers and lakes, this child's affection is incomparable to the outside.

Therefore, once a family has a child with good qualifications, it will always think about inviting some old people who have retired from the palace. It is said that it teaches rules and etiquette, but in fact, it is still to inquire about the news.

And these retired female officials will also consciously pass on their experiences in the house to their junior colleagues through letters. It was also an important source of information for the empress to grasp the movements of the imperial court.

Like the Zhen family, inviting grandma is really to invite grandma, and teaching the rules is really to learn the rules, which is really rare.

And like the Zhen family, who is far away from the power center of the imperial city and does not contribute to the court, they are not rich businessmen and tycoons...... But I was able to invite Mama Shen to be like this, a female official who had rotated in the six bureaus and one division, and served the prince.

The Zhen family can be regarded as green smoke in the ancestral tomb.

invited Mama Shen, which means that a few girls have already stepped on the road with one foot.

Zhen Zhiwen thought that he had a big face.

may be that the truth is too shocking, Zhen Zhiwen didn't even take it into account at all, the Zhen family doesn't have anything to do, how can it be worthy of Shen Mama to go out in person?

This matter has to start from a few months ago, at the Spring Festival.
