2 Chapter 2

Su Yi returned to the couch. Niu Zi and Pinchun, who were in the same room, were still asleep. When he saw her coming in, he pointed at the copper basin on the table and said, "Take a look at it and see how many shadows there are. Don't bring dirty things back.

Weird and creepy.”

I kept silent and looked at it in the basin for a long time. If there was no double image, it would be fine. I poured out the water, and there was peach branch water prepared by Niuzi. I used it to wipe my face and neck to ward off evil spirits. Niuzi was like a housekeeper.

As if he was looking for some clothes for her, he said, "I have changed them and put them outside the door. I'll ask the people below to wash them tomorrow. How about that? Is that... right?"

Su Yi suffered a hair loss and said, "The hair is so unrecognizable. It's so pitiful. She's so dark and fat, so ugly. If it weren't for the pimple on her ear, I'm not sure it's her."

"I guess the Ministry of Internal Affairs will investigate this matter. I think there is a lot of mystery inside me. If you want to seek death, you can't die anywhere, so why go all the way to the lantern warehouse? The rule that palace ladies are not allowed to visit randomly was taught to me on the first day after entering the palace.

You have given me thousands of instructions, but you still can’t remember them? You’ve always offended someone, or you saw something you shouldn’t see, or you heard something you shouldn’t hear. There is always one thing that hits you, and that makes people silence you.

"Pinchun was sitting on the kang, picking out patterns. He held up a piece of swastika flower and showed it to them, asking if it would look good embroidered on stockings.

The three of them are all aunts of the Shangyi Bureau. Originally, four people were allowed to live in a room according to the quota. At the beginning of autumn, one room was released, but no one has been able to fill it. So three people live in the four-person couch, which is always crossed.

If you are too serious, your words will become more casual.

I used to sit on a short stool and wipe my feet with a dry cloth. I was exhausted at the end of the day, and when I started doing that thing again, my mood became very low. "I was wondering in the past two days whether I was speaking inappropriately.

It hurt her face."

"Quickly, please stop hugging me. Why is sincerity so difficult for you?" Niuzi leaned on the kang and said, "Don't teach my aunt a few words. It's just punishing her for being stiff. Isn't it her share? All the ladies of the palace are punished here.

Yes, if you ask for death if you make three wrong sentences, how many people in the palace will die? Just be down-to-earth, nothing will happen to you. Even if the Ministry of Internal Affairs comes to ask, it will be four, five, or six, and you will save yourself trouble.

They can investigate this kind of headless case however they like. Anyway, those people who have nothing to do and love to toss around corpses should be given jobs to do."

In fact, it's all for the aunt to take care of the palace maids, scold and punish her. Although she is usually strict, she is not as domineering as other aunts. She is determined not to force people to death, and she herself has a clear conscience.

The dead one had just entered the palace not long ago. The thirteen-year-old girl was as raw as a knife. She couldn't chew her up and kicked her constantly, not to mention causing headaches. Although she didn't like her, she was still under her control.

, the unexpected death also made her feel uncomfortable.

Pinchun was impatient with this. She was the deputy of Aunt Shiduo of Tong in the sixth rank, and she was responsible for recording the affairs of the concubines and palace maids. In order to prevent the eunuchs in the court room from tampering with the records, Tongshi also had an account in his hand.

In order to prepare for the comparison and examination of the clan house. She would bring some news when she came down from duty. From time to time, she envied Duo Aunt. The master of such and such palace sent a eunuch to find Tong Shi. He didn't even say a few words. Duo Aunt's pockets

It certainly won't be a loss.

It started with the same old example, "Today, Yonghe Gongmin, the noble man, sent the eunuch to come to the bureau. He came to the bureau with some irrelevant things. When he saw the aunt, he turned around and approached her, and then she disappeared in a flash. Prepare for the evening.

The sign of "Jinxi" seems to me to be vacant, and it has been listed in the menstrual column. What is going on in it can be understood by a discerning person. It is not because Mingui and Cheng Changzai do not deal with it, it is a stumbling block.

Take away her green card!"

The palace concubines each have their own unique tricks when fighting. In the Forbidden City, any conflict can become a trigger for a firefight. Perhaps because it is too lonely, just like in the market outside, colleagues are enemies. I have found an opponent.

, take pleasure in calculating every day. Things like this kind of tampering with the bed are actually not difficult to do. The older generation of aunts have been in this high wall for a long time and know how to watch what others do. The selected masters

It is true that we are all the third-class Qi people, but among the upper-class people, there are also distinctions between high and low. What points are given? Naturally, they are divided with money! If you have money, you can travel all over the world, and it is the same in the harem. If you are willing to pay, you can

It can suppress people. For those low-level palace concubines who have just entered the palace and have no honor and favor, some good people are willing to spend a lot of money to make them wither in the corners of the wall for the rest of their lives.

Su Yi had packed up and got on the kang. She turned around and blew out the candles on the Eight Immortals table. The room became dark, but the girls didn't stop talking. Niu Zi felt sleepy and was still muttering, "That sensitive man is so arrogant."

"Ji'er. You ask her to put on the bottom of a flower pot and walk twice. She walks like a duck. She can't even stand in my eyes, and I don't know how she got promoted."

"I have a good grandma, who walks in the military aircraft check-in room and is a popular figure in front of the imperial court." Pinchun said, "Long live the Lord is just like the old master back then. He pays attention to the rain and dew. In his eyes, no matter the beauty or ugliness, everything is the same."

Same."

Niu Zi chuckled, "Longyan, this is a good metaphor. The Empress Dowager Lu is called Lu Pheasant. When she first controlled the government, should we call her eyes phoenix eyes or chicken eyes?"

Su Yi coughed, "I know how to make jokes!"

Pinchun ignored her and continued to lament, "You are so wronged by all the rain and dew! When the old master was in power, he complained about his father-in-law who filled the court. In this life, it is still the same."

"It's an ancestral system. If you don't like it, there's nothing you can do about it. Just work together and make do with it, and when you meet someone you like, it will be a big deal." Niuzi murmured, "Like the master and the Queen Mother Chang Chunyuan,

Over the years, they have been like a couple of gods and gods, making others envious!"

Pinchun laughed nonchalantly, "The Queen Mother and Lao Fo were born as palace ladies. You two have such eyes, you might reach high places one day. Then don't forget to promote the poor brothers and sisters, give me a Tongshi Qianqian."

I will place a sign for you every day and offer it to a conspicuous place."

Everyone is joking, today's Long Live Lord, he is a handsome guy! All the princes of Emperor Chengde were born well. Nanyuan Yuwen clan has been famous for her beauty since the previous dynasty, and she is sitting on the throne of Kowloon.

He is the most valuable person in the world. He is young and beautiful, so he naturally becomes the yearning of all the palace ladies.

It is said that it is magical, but in fact, if you take it seriously, the servants in these bureaus are not lucky enough to see the beauty of the sky. Everyone has their own one-third of an acre of land, and they guard the land in a down-to-earth manner. They cannot move around at will without permission.

There are strict rules in the palace. Anyone who dares to wander around the world will be beaten and beheaded. Even the concubines are not seen every day, let alone the long live master in the Qing palace!

It's just that the girl loves to joke, so she can choose the most ideal person to match you with her, and just make a few jokes to relieve her boredom.

"We have been working as servants for so many years, but our luck has been bad. We can't get up or down. If you don't serve the masters, who knows who you are!" Pinchun sighed, "The people in front of the emperor are the ones who are the most likely to be promoted.

If you do well, you will be rewarded, but you still care about promoting your status, and you will look down on others when you come out."

Niuzi hurriedly said, "Come on! Can you eat decent food? I heard that Long live the Lord has a bad temper, and he will throw someone off if you are not satisfied with it. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, save your head and eat!" One of them shouted, "Su

Yi, Su Yi... has your family arranged a marriage for you? You will be released next year, have you found your next family?"

She was always sleepy and in a daze, so she responded, "It's like a written post, it's not settled yet, I don't know... It's getting late, go to bed! There will be a new candidate for the palace tomorrow.

There’s a lot of trouble!”

The eunuch who was knocking the eunuch on West First Street came from the south and knocked three times after walking for a while. It turned out that it was already the time sign.

A reputable aunt is very powerful within her scope. The maids under her command are smart and know how to please people. You don’t have to take care of the daily chores yourself. They have already been assigned to you. Because the aunt is in charge of their whereabouts, as long as the aunt is in charge

If you are worthy of your respect, you will be sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to work as an errand for the Lord after the assessment. If your aunt doesn't like you and thinks you are stupid and can't handle it, you will be sent to the housekeeper as a servant. The maids are trying to flatter you for the sake of their future, aunt

They feel at ease. Sleeping in the old cat room is passed down from generation to generation. This is how the aunts came when they first entered the palace. They suffered some hardships before, but now that they are old, it is time for all the hardships to be over.

The people below came in to wash their faces and comb their hair. They changed into autumn robes at about 3:30 p.m. They packed up and went to the office. After meeting the boss, the boss assigned the heads to them, five to each person, and prepared them.

Waiting to be used.

She always led people down, and her aunt had a special duty. She stopped under the sill window on the south side and explained them one by one, starting with the rules of the palace. The newcomers didn't understand anything, so they had to be taught step by step. From food and clothing to

Etiquette, from residence and travel to the palace, must be comprehensive. Otherwise, if someone is sent out and gets into trouble, it is because the master did not teach well and the aunt will be punished.

"It is my duty and your duty to come to me to learn the rules. Who can't bear the hardship should do it as early as possible. I will guide you, not for merit, but for no faults. Once you join my sect, you must

Be under my control. You must listen to my words. You are not allowed to speak harshly or hold your neck. You cannot help yourself when you enter the palace gate. You must take every step and turn in an orderly manner. If anyone dares to appear under my nose,

"Hey, did you see the handle of the bamboo mat at the other end?" She pursed her lips on the high cabinet, "Don't expect your aunt to be kind to you. She will punish you without any punishment. Do you understand?"

The maids in the palace have a natural fear of taking care of their aunts, just like many princesses who are afraid of the beautiful nuns. People like them have a bad reputation and specialize in picking on people. They are the most difficult to serve. They have been in office for four years.

, she has long been trained to the point where she is no longer good at it. She doesn’t care what they say behind their backs, but if she wants to teach her, she must not be soft-hearted and must be strict.

She held the bamboo board in her hand and walked around them, "First of all, we have a common ceremony. There are two types of common etiquette: one kneeling down and two knees. The one-kneeling ceremony includes the one-knee ceremony and the greeting. The one-knee ceremony is a gift used by eunuchs. We don't care about that.

There are four kinds of etiquette that palace ladies need to learn: kneel down and kowtow, kneel down, say all blessings, and nod. They use the same etiquette when meeting people. People like us need to learn the first three. The kowtow ceremony is the most important.

Kneeling down is the second most important thing, and then comes the blessing. Anyone can kowtow, but if you want to kowtow diligently and gracefully, you have to put in a lot of effort..."

There is a fixed pattern of teaching horizontally and vertically, and you are tossing and turning until your throat is filled with smoke. Then you have to practice basic skills, such as bowling, stretching your arms, and learning standing rules. There are also guidelines for walking. You have to walk straight, look good, and be graceful. The shoulders on both sides are higher and the other.

It doesn't work even if it's low, and it doesn't work if you twist the legs. The aunts are most afraid of meeting those with many problems. They have to correct them over and over again. It is difficult to adjust them and their efforts will be wasted.
