Chapter 18 Tong Jia Suyu
Erfu looked at the big eunuch in front of him, who was dressed differently from other eunuchs, and quietly pricked up his ears, but kept his head down, for fear of committing some taboo in the palace.
The big eunuch took two steps forward, cleared his throat, took out a celadon snuff bottle from his sleeve, took a puff of snuff, and said loudly in a sharp voice unique to eunuchs: "Ladies and gentlemen, the miscellaneous family is the eunuch Kang Chenhai, the chief eunuch in charge of this election.
Your lords are the leaders of our Eight Banners, and your status is precious, but the rules of the inner courtyard of the palace are the most complicated, so before all the nobles see our saints, they still need to go through a selection process, if there is any offense in them, please take care of them!"
Erfu listened to the eunuch's somewhat shrill voice, and couldn't help but get goosebumps on his body, this person speaks well, you always have a long voice, is this really good!
The big eunuch looked at the women with different expressions in front of him, his lips were slightly hooked, and he turned around and instructed the little eunuch to lead all the women into the Shunzhen Gate, while he stood aside and looked carefully.
Erfu lowered her head, silently counted the numbers, and followed the woman in front of her with a good step, through the long palace wall, and into the luxuriously decorated Chuxiu Palace.
Several palace rooms in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace were hung with blue gauze screens, and the old ladies wearing dark brown cheongsams saluted together, and one of the leading grandmothers opened her mouth and said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's also be humble to each other, and we can quickly complete the tasks ordered by the masters." ”
As soon as the words fell, several palace maids wearing pink cheongsams walked over, leading many women behind several screens.
Erfu sighed silently, complaining in her heart: These ancient days are really too pitiful, so in front of a strange middle-aged woman, you really don't feel a little uncomfortable!
After the simple but harsh selection, more than a dozen women were led out by the older grandmother crying, and Erfu thought with some malice, this era dares to commit to others first, this is true love!
After a while, the older grandmother who spoke first stepped out of the blue gauze screen and said loudly, "The slave maid Gui Mama is polite.
The nobles have been selected, and then they are going to meet the saint and the four concubines, so during this time, you have to be wronged to live in this Chuxiu Palace to learn the rules, and later there will be palace maids to lead you to your respective rooms.
It's just that although there are a lot of palace rooms in our Chuxiu Palace, we can't let your lords live in one room alone, so please take care of them!"
Before the words fell, a woman with an outstanding appearance and a charming temperament walked out of the queue with her waist pinched and said sharply: "You old witch is really bullying us newcomers! We all have to serve the saint, how can we live in the same room!"
"This noble lord, please don't be impatient, our Chuxiu Palace is a residence for all your lords when they are chosen, if they are chosen, they will arrange another residence for your lords!" Mama Gui smiled slightly and said softly.
Although the woman was a little displeased, when she thought of what her parents explained at home, she could only glance at Mama Gui fiercely and returned to the queue.
Mama Gui continued the topic just now, and said a lot of words, but Erfu, who was born in modern times, was dizzy when she heard it, and she didn't know what was going on, so she could only salute with everyone stupidly.
Chuxiu Palace, one of the six palaces in the west, is luxuriously decorated, but there are really not many rooms, and the sizes are different, and the directions are also different.
Erfu, a little girl who had just come out of college and had not forgotten the joy of collective life, followed the palace maid out of the main hall with a smile.
The little palace maid looked at the talkative Erfu, and she was a lot bolder, talking about the scene and thing of this Chuxiu Palace, and even praised this Chuxiu Palace as if there was nothing in the sky and the earth, as if this was the heavenly palace that fell into the mortal dust.
But Erfu, who has traveled through the entire Forbidden City, doesn't think so, this is just the Chuxiu Palace during the Kangxi period, if you look at the modern Chuxiu Palace, it is called extravagant!
The little palace maid talked to herself, and also led Erfu to her residence, the single partition door of vermilion lacquer was pushed open, and Erfu was also stunned by the environment in front of her.
The room was spacious and bright, with two low beds on the wall, a carved round table in the open space in the center, two dressing tables by the window, and a silk screen in the innermost part of the room.
On a low couch, a woman wearing a water-red cheongsam sprinkled with gold turned around, greeted her with a smile, took Erfu's hand enthusiastically, and said softly: "This sister is really handsome, come and sit down and rest!"
"Forehead......" Erfu glanced at Tong Jiasuyu who was holding her hand and the palace maid beside her with a bit of confusion, hoping that the palace maid could explain the situation in front of her.
The little palace maid has been serving in the palace for a long time, so she naturally understands Erfu's eyes, but she doesn't know much about this show girl Tong Jia Suyu who has just entered the palace, so she can only smile, give a blessing, and say very politely: "This little master, you have also tossed all the way, so let's rest early!"
After speaking, the little palace maid shrank her head and exited the room directly.
Tong Jia Suyu didn't seem to feel Erfu's discomfort, smiled and took Erfu's hand, sat down at the round table, and said softly: "This sister doesn't know how old you are!"
Erfu looked at the Tong Jia Suyu in front of him who was obviously just meeting for the first time, but was unusually affectionate, hooked the corners of his lips with a smirk, and said softly: "My name is Guergarfu, and I am fourteen years old this year!"
The two of them sat at the round table and chatted for a long time, and then Erfu smiled and said softly: "Su Yu, you see that I just arrived in the palace, and the burden sent in has not been packed yet, and I see that your things have not been sorted out, or we want to put things in order!"
The smile on Tong Jia Suyu's face froze, and then she nodded, tapped her forehead, and said with annoyance: "Look at my memory, my sister must not mind." ”
"Of course not, it's just that we've just entered the palace, and I don't know if Mama Gui will let us go to the front to learn the rules today, so let's hurry up and pack it out first, so as not to be busy at night!" Erfu also smiled a little embarrassedly and explained softly.
Tong Jia Suyu smiled softly, and walked to the side of the bed to pour out the half-arranged salute.
Erfu also opened the baggage that had been sent to the palace a long time ago, and neatly placed the finely made cheongsams in the wardrobe beside her, and also put the rouge gouache and other items brought in on the empty dressing table on the side.
