part-time teenage grandma

Chapter 760 Sisterhood

Everyone heard that Sun Yuxi's father was a scholar in the village. They looked at each other, took Sun Yuxi's arm and said, "Sister Sun, your father is a scholar, so you must be literate. What books have you read?" ? It seems that this time, Sister Sun will definitely be assigned to the Shang Palace Bureau as a female official..."

Sun Yuxi pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word. Instead, she glanced at Qi Qiaoqiao and smiled at her.In this time and space, education is underdeveloped, and there are not many people who can read and write. Occasionally, one or two people are worshiped as gods by everyone. Naturally, the treatment is different. Qi Qiaoqiao smiled and said: "Okay, okay, don't surround your grandchildren." Sister, I see you, you almost ate her up..."

Everyone laughed together, and talked about something else, and finally Zhao Hanying mentioned: "I heard the teaching female officer talk about the rules and regulations in the palace in the afternoon. I mentioned it—the female officer and the palace maid are also called by the emperor or His Royal Highness. Is it a precedent for favoring and becoming a concubine?"

Everyone seems to be more interested in these things. When Zhao Hanying mentioned it, some people echoed: "Just start from the lowest-ranked female pickers, and the palace ladies are fine. If the female officials above the seventh rank are to be female pickers, don't they have to be downgraded?" ?”

Everyone nodded, and someone on the side retorted: "That's not right. To be a female official, the highest is a palace, Shangshan, etc., at most it is a fifth grade, but it's different for a concubine. As for the noble concubine, didn't there be a concubine Zheng in the previous dynasty, who became a noble concubine all the way from being favored by the emperor in the Ye Ting Bureau?"

Another girl also followed suit and said, "That's right, let's not talk about the previous dynasty, let's say that there is a Luo Jieyu in this dynasty. At first, she was only a talented girl of the eighth rank, and later she gave birth to two highnesses, the King of Qin and the King of Qi. Now You are favored by the emperor—”

When Qi Qiaoqiao heard King Qin's name, he naturally listened carefully, and stopped the girl before she could finish speaking: "Shhh—don't talk about it anymore, just talk about the affairs of the previous dynasty, and talk about the current affairs." Master, it’s still good for you if people hear about it, didn’t you say that you’re teaching the female officer today? Don’t talk about right and wrong in the harem.”

The girl stuck out her tongue, as if regretting her slip of the tongue, Sun Yuxi said from the side: "Okay, it's getting late today, let's all rest earlier, we have to get up and get ready tomorrow , It’s not good to be late, let’s arrange everything!”

Everyone was reminded only to realize that Maoshi was about to wake up, so they all ran back to get ready to sleep, but Zhao Hanying still looked unhappy, so Qi Qiaoqiao patted her and said, "It's not that I'm gone, Go to sleep quickly, if you don't sleep enough, you will be sleepy tomorrow, so go quickly."

Then he urged her to go to bed, Qi Qiaoqiao blew on the light in the room at the end, and the whole room was plunged into darkness, the bright moon shone in from outside the window, sprinkled on Qi Qiaoqiao's bed, and Qi Qiaoqiao climbed up on tiptoe.

Although he was a little tired, the bright moonlight made it difficult for Qi Qiaoqiao to sleep. He tossed and turned on the bed, and the sound of long and leisurely breathing was already heard in the room. Qi Qiaoqiao was afraid of waking up others, so he lay quietly and looked out the window. moonlight.

Probably because of the choice of bed, Sun Yuxi who was next to him didn't fall asleep either. Hearing movement on Qi Qiaoqiao's bed, he whispered, "Sister Qi, are you asleep?"

Qi Qiaoqiao shook his head subconsciously, only to remember that Sun Yuxi couldn't see it, and answered her in a low voice: "No, what's the matter, Sister Sun?"

Sun Yuxi calmed down, and after a long time, she seemed a little embarrassed and said: "The moonlight outside the window is so beautiful, does sister Qi feel homesick?"

homesick?

Since Qi Qiaoqiao entered this time and space, he would miss home almost every night for a period of time in the beginning, and his pillow was wet with tears. Later, when he probably knew that he could not go back, he gradually gave up and stopped thinking about it. something happened.

Although it is her dream to travel through time and space, when the dream comes true, because of the strangeness of the other world and the unknown of the new life, she will still feel confused, depressed, and even scared as a little girl.

Fortunately, optimistic by nature, he quickly adapted to his new life.

However, Qi Qiaoqiao felt a little uncomfortable when Sun Yuxi mentioned it tonight.Although these girls who entered the palace traveled thousands of miles to the palace, their lives will be involved in the harem turmoil from now on, with ups and downs involuntarily, and it may be difficult to meet their family members in the future, but in the end this path is chosen by themselves, at least still Under the same night sky with the family.

And Qi Qiaoqiao——I don’t know what happened to my parents in this world. Can they also travel through time and space to live in a new world?Could they also see such a moon on such a night?

Thinking of this, Qi Qiaoqiao sighed and said: "What's the use of thinking, I probably won't have a chance to see you again in the future!"

Sun Yuxi, who was on the other side, also sighed deeply after hearing Qi Qiaoqiao's words: "I just hope that they will have a better life in the future, so that our sacrifices are at least worth it."

Qi Qiaoqiao went to hold Sun Yuxi's hand through the curtain, and said to her: "They will be fine, don't worry, sister Sun will also be fine, so as not to worry the family members outside the palace."

Sun Yuxi responded softly: "Yeah." Holding Qi Qiaoqiao's hand tightly with his backhand, the two little girls who were far away from home seemed to be the only way to cheer each other up in this way.

Qi Qiaoqiao didn't remember when he fell asleep. When he woke up in the morning, he was pushed awake by Sun Yuxi. Qi Qiaoqiao opened his eyes in a daze, and didn't realize where he was. , Sun Yuxi said: "Qiaoqiao, don't sleep, everyone is up..."

Although Qi Qiaoqiao got up early when she was in Prince Qin's Mansion, she didn't have the experience of getting up at such a time. In addition, she used to get up a little angry, so she couldn't help but whimpered and didn't want to move for a while. Sun Yuxi said in a low voice: " The female trainee is urging, get up quickly."

Only then did Qi Qiaoqiao realize where he was, and he woke up instantly, opened his eyes and said, "What time is it?"

Sun Yuxi told her that it was Mao hour, and they would gather in the vestibule in a while, and everyone would go to the Shang Palace Bureau to learn the rules together.

Someone in the room had already put on their clothes and got out of bed to wash up. Even if Qi Qiaoqiao couldn't open his eyes again, he could only struggle to get up at this moment. After changing his clothes, he walked out in a daze, and almost bumped into On the door.

Sun Yuxi behind him pulled Qi Qiaoqiao, and Zhao Hanying was also on the side, but she was sober early, and said to Qi Qiaoqiao with a smile: "Sister Qi looks so stable, I don't expect to be confused when."

Qi Qiaoqiao felt embarrassed, rubbed his head, and washed up with the two of them. Qi Qiaoqiao had always been served in the Prince Qin's mansion, let alone before. Some grooming skills, but I have never combed my hair by myself. Besides, the ancient French style is complicated. Although the maid's hair style is simple, it still confuses Qi Qiaoqiao, a handicapped star. In the end, Sun Yuxi combed Qi Qiaoqiao. After cutting their hair, the two looked at each other and smiled in the mirror. Qi Qiaoqiao said to Sun Yuxi, "Thank you, sister."

The two of them had become close before they knew it. Sun Yuxi patted Qi Qiaoqiao on the shoulder and said to her, "Hurry up, everyone has packed up, just wait for us..."

The female officer who taught manners today is not the same person as yesterday. She looked about thirty, with a very serious face, and said to everyone: "From today onwards, you will be one of the three thousand in the harem of the Daming Palace. My surname is Qian. , you can call me Qian Zhangshi, starting from today, in the next month, I will teach everyone the rules of the harem..."

When Qian Zhangshi said this, he paused and said: "Entering the palace to learn the rules is the first step in the harem, and it is also the most important step. Only by learning the rules well will you be able to go smoothly in the harem from now on. Don’t get picked on wrong.”

Everyone held their voices and listened to the court training. Qian Zhangshi looked around the crowd seriously: "If you learn the rules well, it will save you a lot of trouble, so I will be very strict. Treating everyone, if there is something that offends, please forgive me..."

How could everyone bear Qian Zhangshi's forgiveness, but no one made a sound. After Qian Zhangshi finished speaking, he officially began to teach the rules.

Yesterday the female official had already talked about the harem system with everyone, but she only briefly mentioned it. Today, Qian Zhangshi started from the institutions in the palace. What is the difference between the female histories in other bureaus, what should be called when the superiors meet the inferiors, and what things should be paid attention to in the palace...

Before entering the palace, Qi Qiaoqiao had already heard about these things from the female historians in the palace. The King of Qin specially found an elderly female official from the Shang Palace Bureau to explain these trivial matters in the palace to Qi Qiaoqiao carefully. Qi Qiaoqiao also memorized it seriously, but listening to it today is a little different.

Qian Nushi spoke very carefully, and from time to time she would make people stand up to ask or answer her own questions. For a while, Qi Qiaoqiao felt as if he had returned to high school in a trance.

When asking people to answer questions, there is a person dressed as a female official next to Qian Nushi who will write down something on the paper. Qi Qiaoqiao guesses that it will be the basis for dividing everyone into different organizations in the future, so he tries his best to perform well. At that time, it will be easier to go to the East Palace.

It is said that the Eastern Palace is the place that all court ladies want to be assigned to - firstly, the Eastern Palace is less competitive and not as cumbersome as the harem, and secondly, it is better to serve the prince and his concubines than the harem, a place where there are intrigues and strife. easier.

Of course, this is all private guesswork by the maids. The real relaxed place is, after entering the Daming Palace, how can one be at ease.

Afternoon is the time to practice the rules, because Qi Qiaoqiao already knew that he was going to enter the palace. Qi Qiaoqiao had practiced these rules countless times in the Qin Palace. Qian Nushi, who was watching these court ladies practicing, couldn't help but look at Qi Qiaoqiao more.

Qian Nushi held something like a pointer in her hand, and if she saw someone's movements were not standard, she would reach out and give them a whip to make them feel good.

After nearly half a month of training in the Ye Ting Bureau, everyone still had the strength to talk and laugh at the beginning, but in the end, everyone was frowning when they were tortured by Qian Nushi's tricks. Only Qi Qiaoqiao seemed relaxed and able to handle it with ease. look.

Zhao Hanying also asked Qi Qiaoqiao in private how he did it, Qi Qiaoqiao just smiled and said: "Just practice more, these things are actually not difficult, if you do it a few times, you will get it right. "

What Qi Qiaoqiao said was simple, but Zhao Hanying said with a frowning face: "We are together every day, and I don't see how much more training you have than me, sister Qi. Why does my sister seem so relaxed."

Then he looked back at Sun Yuxi and said, "Sister Sun is the same, why are you better than the other, am I the only one who is stupid?"

Qi Qiaoqiao also looked back at Sun Yuxi. To put it bluntly, she was able to do well because she had practiced in advance, which was equivalent to cheating, but Sun Yuxi could do as well as her, which made Qi Qiaoqiao a little impressed. I have more respect for Sun Yuxi.

For half a month, Qi Qiaoqiao never saw a smile on Qian Nushi's face, nor heard her praise anyone, but only that day when she passed Qi Qiaoqiao with the pointer, she praised: " it is good--"

When Qi Qiaoqiao saw her walking towards him, he thought he was going to point out some mistakes, but he didn't expect that she would praise him, and he felt flattered.

Fortunately, after a difficult time, everyone gradually remembered the rules and regulations clearly, and they no longer felt as tired as before.

In the blink of an eye, the period of one month has come, and after passing the last assessment after entering the palace, everyone can officially become a member of the Daming Palace, or enter the sixth bureau of the harem, become an official female history official, or be assigned to each palace. In order to be a rough envoy in the palace, she will be buried in this harem for the rest of her life.

Although Qi Qiaoqiao knew that the rules he had learned were good, he was still a little apprehensive, worried that he would not be assigned to the East Palace as he wished, which would cause problems in the plan.

Except for Qi Qiaoqiao, the other girls in the room were also caught in a tense atmosphere. They didn't even talk much when they returned to their residence, and the whole room felt a lot quieter.

Finally, it was the eve of the assessment, and everyone was lying on their beds without speaking, silently reciting various rules in the palace, or practicing proper movements.

Only Qi Qiaoqiao and Sun Yuxi sat on the edge of the bed and talked: "Sister Sun, let's say goodbye tomorrow. No matter what the final result is, I hope we can have a good ending."

Sun Yuxi nodded, held Qi Qiaoqiao's hand and said, "Being able to get to know and get along with you, Qiaoqiao, this month is the greatest blessing I have had in the palace..."

As soon as the voice fell, it was interrupted by Zhao Hanying who appeared out of nowhere, pouted and said with aggrieved face: "Sister Sun is not fair, is it not your luck to meet Hanying?"

Both Qi Qiaoqiao and Sun Yuxi were taken aback by the sudden appearance of Zhao Hanying, and then they looked at each other with a smile. Sun Yuxi pinched Zhao Hanying's nose and said, "Yes, yes, it's not just luck, it's just luck." It's so lucky, if there is no Han Ying, how would the three of us get to know each other?"

When Sun Yuxi spoke, Qi Qiaoqiao also echoed: "Hanying is the red thread for all of us, tying us together, without you, I'm afraid we won't be able to get to know each other until we separate."

When everyone heard the three talking, they all came over. Although Qi Qiaoqiao had the best relationship with Sun Yuxi and Zhao Hanying on weekdays, the girls who lived in the same room were also very close.

When they thought that not only would they have to take an assessment tomorrow, but they would also have to be separated from these sisters who had finally become acquainted with each other, everyone would inevitably feel a little bit reluctant.

Qi Qiaoqiao naturally also felt sad, she hadn't felt this kind of collective warmth for a long time.Every day we train together, eat together, and sleep together, just like in college, with the sisters in the dormitory, no matter what we do, we are happy.

It's just that everyone gradually became busy and rarely got together in one place.During the days of living in Xi Nei Yuan, Qi Qiaoqiao regained this kind of happiness.

Because they have just entered the palace, everyone is very innocent, there is no conflict of interest between them, they are close and friendly to each other, after leaving the West Neiyuan, they are involved in the big dye vat of the harem, and I don't know if they can find such a friendship again .

Thinking of the upcoming parting, the ten girls living in the same room were a little silent, and finally Zhao Hanying smiled and said: "Don't be downcast, we will really become maids in the Daming Palace after the assessment tomorrow. , if someone can’t make it through, they can go home and reunite with their families, no matter what, the result will be good.”

As he clapped his hands, Qi Qiaoqiao and Sun Yuxi said: "There is one more thing. We will have different futures in the future, but we still live together as a friendship. Let's do this. If anyone becomes successful in the future, don't forget to support the former sisters." what!!"
