Chapter 261: selection
The three little girls all love to go to Yingchun: Daiyu doesn’t play with Baoyu anymore, and she works hard. She just wants to be filial when she goes back to visit her father in the future; Arrived, but she is also secretly working hard; Xichun has an indifferent temperament, yearning for monkhood and gods and Buddhas at a young age, but it is very suitable for practicing martial arts to welcome the spring.
During the twelfth lunar month and the first lunar month, it is common for adults to have a banquet and listen to operas. Baochai is preparing for selection, and other girls are keen on martial arts. Originally, like Jia Zhen and Jia She, there were still things for the girls to prepare for selection, but after Jia Mu and Jia Zheng combined, they felt that Jia Yuanchun was the best and most outstanding girl in the Jia family. All resources are concentrated on her.
Moreover, if Ying and Tan are not old enough, they cannot recruit concubines and concubines, but can only recruit attendants, and there is no need to spend such a big price; and Xichun is Jia Jing's direct daughter, Jia Jing was in the Zhongyi Prince in those days. ——That is, when the former prince worked under his command, when the old Chisui fell, Jia Jing took refuge in the Baoning Mansion to practice Taoism.
Sanchun does not have a mother. The powerful mother Jia and Mrs. Wang are dedicated to calculating family resources for Jia Yuanchun. They both think that they are not as good as Yuanchun, and they don’t care if they run for election. Good family. As for Daiyu, Jia's mother kept her by her side to ration Baoyu, and she didn't want her to show up in front of outsiders.
In the first month of the first month, Yingchun was also waiting for the decree of exemption from election from the palace, but until the second day of the second lunar month, when the dragon raised his head, there was no news of exemption from election.
Seeing that the primary election will be held on February 12th, on the sixth day of the second lunar month, when Sanchun and Daiyu go to greet Mother Jia, Wang Xifeng brings them the clothes and jewelry for the primary election.
Yingchun couldn't help stunned. Mother Jia only said that when she ran for the election of a talented person and praised the princess, she lost the dignity of the government. As for women's etiquette, Rongguo Mansion is a princely family, and they have learned it since childhood.
The clerk who chose the princess princess was not as formal as the draft, and was placed in the Feixiang Hall and Xifang Hall in the east. The empress dowager, empress, and concubine were all busy choosing concubines for the emperor, so the matter of choosing attendants for the princess and the county master was left to Concubine Shu, who had two princesses, and the concubines of several palaces.
Sanchun and Yiyu took the carriage to the Qinglong Gate of the palace, from which they lined up to enter the palace wall. I saw that there were nearly a hundred women running for the election. A princess and a county lord would probably choose two attendants. If the daughters of so many officials are elected, if they are elected, they will also draw closer the relationship between the royal family and the common people through their daughters.
Yingchun has not heard that Shi Xiangyun is going to run for election, it should be because of the death of her parents.
Tan Chun curiously looked at the girls before and after, only to realize that none of them could match the four of them.
Daiyu whispered to Yingchun, who was in front of her, "If you choose the princess to study, will you live in the palace?"
Yingchun said: "It should be, but it is possible to leave the palace on a rest day."
The waiter is the person next to the princess, not so free, but not like a palace maid, and can only be released when she is 22 years old. When he became a waiter, he would let people go home for marriage at the age of fifteen at the most.
Daiyu said, "Isn't it impossible to practice?"
Yingchun said with a smile: "It is estimated that we can't do whatever we want. But we may not be able to choose."
Tan Chun said: "Why can't I be selected?" Tan Chun also has the ambition of Qingyun, hoping that when she becomes the princess' companion, she will not be restricted by her status as a concubine.
Yingchun whispered: "Because the eldest master, the second master, and the uncle Jing are no longer useful officials to the royal family, wouldn't it be more convenient to use the grace of the Jia family for the eldest sister, and would not waste such a quota on us. The selection of the royal family is naturally based on maximizing their interests. The ministers and daughters who only want to borrow the high branches of the royal family but cannot bring benefits to the royal world are rare. Father, brother, father and brother, the new emperor can stand out among the princes. The best among men, how could he not use anything more beneficial to the imperial power?"
Tanchun, Daiyu, and Xichun are also smart girls, and they all think Yingchun's analysis is reasonable.
The four girls in a row were whispering quietly when they heard someone arguing in front of them. Tanchun probed her head curiously, and Yingchun pulled her: "Don't worry about your business."
It turned out that a girl in front was stepping on another girl's skirt, causing the girl to almost fall, and the new skirt was torn. Not only did she lose face, but it would also be inconvenient to participate in the primary election. I'm afraid I will go home Parents are to blame.
They were all girls around ten years old, and they had such deep forbearance skills, so they quarreled with the girl who stepped on her skirt.
After a while, several eunuchs arrived, and the foreman asked about the matter, so he asked the two girls to leave the palace, but the girl who stepped on the skirt said humbly, "Hello, father-in-law, the little girl's father is Beijing. Camp Festival Envoy."
Tanchun's eyes were different when he heard it from a distance, because "her uncle" was the official before he was promoted to nine provinces. The Jiedushi in Beijing is equivalent to the nine-door admiral of the Qing Dynasty, and this position must be the emperor's confidant. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng was able to be imprisoned on the throne, but the Eight Lords Party did not go to the sky. Long Keduo, the nine-door admiral, was a man of Yongzheng. As for Long Keduo's final fate is another matter.
Therefore, Wang Xifeng was so arrogant and daring that Wang Xifeng was so arrogant and bold.
The head **** really smiled and said, "So it's a girl from the Cui family. I'm disrespectful. How can I say this?"
That girl Cui said: "She almost fell in front of her, and she blamed me on my head. What's the reason?"
The girl said, "You clearly stepped on my skirt on purpose!"
Miss Cui said: "You don't have eyes behind you, how do you know? I said, you are relying on me."
The head **** said: "This girl, who are you in the house?"
The girl said, "I am from the Liguo Palace, and my father is now a first-class viscount."
The head **** said: "It turned out to be a cow girl."
Miss Cui just couldn't see that the girl in front was more beautiful than her, with black hair and a delicate Luo skirt.
If it was a non-local official, the **** foreman would drive him away. After all, the **** foreman did not want to offend anyone, so he came forward to make peace, and let the cow girl go to the end of the platoon, so that her servants could change her a skirt.
Although Xichun was indifferent, seeing that they were fighting like this for no reason, she said, "This is so boring."
When Her Royal Highness Feixiang was waiting, the girls pointed to the hall to conduct the primary election, which was a little easier than choosing concubines. It was the female officials and the concubines who wanted the girls to have good looks, clear articulation, and literacy.
If you can't pass this level, your worth in the circle of noble ladies will drop in the future.
Miharu Yiyu's appearance was naturally relieved.
The girl who had finished the primary selection went to the Xifang Hall for re-election. She was passing through the long palace corridor when she heard a few laughs, but she saw a twelve-year-old handsome boy in brocade clothes sitting on the wall of the corridor. .
The girls didn't know there was such a bold boy in the palace, so they all blushed and were very nervous.
When Yingchun saw her, she smiled and said to Erchun Daiyu, "She is a girl just like us."
Tan Chun said: "How dare a girl climb so high?"
Yingchun looked at it and said, "It's not very high."
The girl in men's clothing threw a few melon seeds at Sanchun and Daiyu, and said with a smile, "Are you talking ill of me?"
Yingchun said: "No."
"I don't believe it," said the girl in men's clothing.
Yingchun stopped talking, and the girl said again, "Why don't you guys talk?"
Yingchun said, "We won't say it if we don't want to."
The girl in men's clothes said, "Which family are you from?"
Yingchun said, "Which family do you belong to?"
The girl in men's clothing laughed, took out a sign from her bosom, and said, "Which company do you think it is from? You came to the palace to run for election, didn't you just want to be my attendant?"
All the girls were surprised and hurriedly saluted: "See the princess!"
The girl in the men's dress was very satisfied, and said again: "Whoever climbs this wall, this princess will choose whoever is the waiter."
The girls were messy: "..."
The princess stood up, stood on the high fence, looked down, and said, "Can you climb? Climb up, this princess will be rewarded."
The girls secretly said: Such an unruly princess, whoever becomes her attendant will be out of luck.
At this moment, a female official brought four palace maids over to urge them to go to the re-election. When she saw the girls dressed as men on the palace wall, she was surprised and said, "His Royal Highness Princess Chang, little ancestor, why are you climbing so high... "
The girl in men's clothing said: "I want to choose the waiter myself, and I don't want the one chosen by Concubine Shu's sister-in-law."
The girl said, "If Your Highness Princess Eldest chooses a daughter from a family, she will make it clear to Concubine Shu that Concubine Shu will consider it as appropriate."
The princess leaned on her waist and said, "I'm writing the exam questions. I haven't decided yet, so you're here."
At this moment, a sparrow flew from the palace wall and attracted the attention of the princess. Her feet were unstable and she was about to fall down. Everyone was shocked.
Yingchun saw that the wall was also more than two meters high. She was afraid that she had climbed up with a ladder. When she fell to the ground, she was afraid that she would be disabled. He quickly picked up his breath and jumped over the wall. He was about to relieve the force of her falling, but on the other side of the wall, four eunuchs were pulling a long net, and the long princess in the men's dress fell safely into the net.
She looked up at Yingchun in amazement, and Yingchun secretly said: Oops! Blame it for being so eager to save people, that she fell into a trap!
Yingchun's slender feet took advantage of the Internet and fell to the ground. She was not a princess, and she was afraid that she would cause trouble if she climbed the palace wall.
She has not yet arrived at the time to take the girls away from Jia Jia's family.
The eldest princess also came down to the ground, ran over to look at her up and down, and said, "Okay! I'll choose you to be this princess' clerk!"
Yingchun said: "I..."
"you are not willing?"
Yingchun wanted to say yes, the princess's reading is a good job in the eyes of others, but as long as she has a relationship with the royal family, her status will be different, and she will be able to marry a good family in the future. But for Yingchun, it is not practical at all to let some postdoctoral fellows go back to primary school. It is better to spend time on martial arts training and have the capital to leave Jiafu as soon as possible.
Yingchun said: "I read... I'm not good at it, I can't lie to the princess, I will embarrass the princess..."
The eldest princess smiled and said: "Just right, I'm not very good at reading. What's your name?"
Yingchun was speechless for a long time, and this matter was passed back to Jia's house. How could she explain that she was able to climb such a high wall.
"I asked you something!"
"The father of the minister is a first-class general of the gods."
"Which first-class general Shenwei?" Jia She is not the only one with this title.
"That courtier... the grandfather is Duke Rong."
The eldest princess nodded: "Okay! Duke Rong's mansion really has a family background, even the girl is also very skilled."
"..."
The eldest princess took her hand and said, "Follow me to see the royal father. I asked the royal father to ask you to come."
"The minister is going to re-election..."
The eldest princess smiled and said, "You don't have to re-selection. If you go to Concubine Shu's sister-in-law, she will not let you come. Only if I go to ask the emperor, he will definitely answer me."
Yingchun knew that she was the eldest princess, and the father emperor was no longer a new saint, but an old saint who retired to recuperate, and Yier raised his grandson. This eldest princess has a beautiful appearance, and he has always been a daughter, I am afraid that he will be very spoiled. The emperor's favor on his daughter is different from his favor on his son. If he favors his son, the situation in the court will change, but if he favors his daughter, he will not.
"His Royal Highness, this is inappropriate, the servant girl will be punished, so please forgive the servant girl."
The eldest princess thought about it and said, "Okay, you choose to go back and wait for my good news!"
...
When Yingchun returned to the re-election team, many girls looked at her in amazement, as if she cherished a national treasure.
Tan Chun also asked her: "Second sister is already so skilled, did you save Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?"
Yingchun said: "The princess will save herself, I would have known that I would not have done it."
Daiyu said, "Second sister is also very kind. It's not fun to fall from such a height. When will I be able to train to such a state?"
Yingchun said: "This light-weight kung fu basically relies on internal strength. The higher the internal strength, the higher the light-weight kung fu."
Erchun Yiyu listened, and she yearned to learn kung fu well, but she didn't mention it.
During the re-election, although Daiyu, Tanchun and Xichun were outstanding in appearance, they were not selected. In fact, Daiyu and Xichun's father is still alive, but they lost their mother when they were young, so the palace doesn't want such a girl, and Tanchun is Jia Zheng's daughter, and there is Jia Yuanchun in the palace, and the dish also says concubine.
Yingchun couldn't help but wonder why they were able to run for election.
When they were about to leave the palace, an **** suddenly came to announce Yingchun. Yingchun thought that it was the eldest princess who had seen her, so she had to go.
Yingchun followed the **** as he walked through the corridors of the palace, bypassing the palaces, and there was no one nearby. When he came to the imperial garden, he saw that there were four or five eunuchs in front of the pavilion.
Yingchun was about to prepare a blessed body to meet the princess, when he saw two men sitting in the pavilion, one was wearing a bright yellow imperial uniform, with a leather belt around his waist and a crown of Wusha Shanyi. Blue beard, only one pair of eyes makes ordinary people stress; one wears a snow-blue undergarment, and his hair is tied on the top of his head with a hosta, he should be much younger.
Yingchun couldn't avoid it at this time, and saluted: "I see the emperor! Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"Get up." The emperor looked up and down at Yingchun, and he appreciated her generosity, but he thought to himself: This age is too young.
The emperor said, "Miss Jia, what books do you read on weekdays?"
"It's just that I know some words, I didn't act like a blind eye, and I dare not say what books I read."
The emperor said, "I don't like women who are too modest."
Yingchun said: "I have read a little of every book, and I dare not claim to know its profound meaning."
The emperor asked, "Where are the paintings and calligraphy?"
"I know a little bit."
The emperor looked at the young man and said, "This age is still young..."
The young man said: "Brother the emperor, just follow me. If the elder brother doesn't help me, no one knows who the emperor and the empress dowager will refer to me."
Yingchun quietly glanced at the young man, and saw that his eyebrows were flying into his temples, his eyes were big and long, and his eyes were as cold and beautiful as Kunlun Snow Mountain. Yingchun was taken aback when he saw only those eyes.
Is Yulang still dressed as a prince in this life? She doesn't want Prince Xiaoxiang!
Her goal is Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao, and Xiaoyao, and she doesn't want to be detained and hosted in the palace of the capital, as well as being a social queen!
The emperor thought to himself: Although this girl is stunning, she is too young, why did he let the eleventh brother secretly see her, and Feiqing didn't marry her?
The emperor thought that the men of Jia's house were useless, so it could be seen that the eleventh brother had no ambitions, and the eleventh brother was his right-hand man to secure the throne. The eleventh brother married the daughter of a family who did not further help him, so he was not a big problem.
