The Third Sister of You's Family in the Red Chamber

Although she was considered to be alone when she went out this time, and it took a little longer to go, Yao Shan was still taken aback when she was stared at by Mrs. Yu and her second sister with such enthusiasm. .

Even though I comforted myself and said that it was probably because of "I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much", but after waiting for the usual "How are you on the way? How is Aunt Lin's family?" After the standardized greeting was over, the second sister held her back with a smile. When Mrs. Yu simply held her in his arms, she still couldn't hold her back, and couldn't help asking: "Madam, Second Sister, what do you mean? Could something have happened? "

Those two seemed to be more excited, and their smiles were brighter, and even the girls and women in the room were all beaming, as if she was a piece of delicious braised pork, and everyone suddenly became cute.

After repeatedly recalling her recent words and deeds, and convinced that there was nothing special about it, Yao Shan became more and more suspicious, but no one made it clear to her.In the end, Yuan Xing's family, who followed the Yu family, saw that she was anxious, so he just smiled and said: "Congratulations to the girl, the master sent a message yesterday, saying that you are on the waiting list."

Hearing the word "to be selected", Yao Shan didn't realize it for a while, thinking that her mother, an old family member, was joking with her.But when she saw Mrs. Yu and her second sister nodding with smiles, she realized that this was probably not a joke, but the truth.

After realizing this, Yao Shan suddenly felt a twitch in the corner of her eyes, thinking, isn't it?She has only turned nine and a half years old, what kind of show is she going to choose?Do you like young girls today?This is too sad, right?

But before she finished complaining, Mrs. Yu had already smiled and pulled her to sit down and said, "Speaking of which, this is really a blessing from heaven. You are not old enough to run for the election, and our family can't make it to the election." It’s important to be small and boring, but this election is not an ordinary selection, but...it’s...Second Sister, what did the master say yesterday?"

Yu Shi didn't have much ink, so it was too difficult for her to come up with such a professional word, she tried to recall it for a while, and then gave up, which made the second sister imitate the tongue.

The second sister You is already 12 years old, and she has not seen her for more than half a year, and she already looks like a grown-up girl.Although she didn't worry too much about reading, it was still no problem to memorize a few technical terms.Therefore, when she heard her old lady Yu calling her, she immediately took over the conversation and said: "Returning to mother's words, the master said yesterday, 'Recently, because of today's advocacy of poetry and etiquette, and the search for talents, the long grace that cannot be born in the world will be rewarded. Apart from concubines and concubines, all the daughters of famous officials and officials are all named Dabu, so that they can be selected as princesses and princesses to attend school and serve as a post of praise for talents."

Yu said with a smile: "Yes, yes, that's what I said." She turned her face, stroked Yao Shan's hair and said, "Your father said that this time it was the Holy Lord Long En, who was selecting the accompanying female officer for the princess and princess. , regardless of age, it is most suitable for people over the age of six and under the age of 12. Since you were a child, you have read books, learned manners, and you have learned a whole body of medical science. Wouldn’t it be a pity if you were to be abandoned at home like this? It just so happened that I met such a Qiao Zong'er, so it's a blessing from heaven."

Yao Shan looked at her beaming face, although she felt quite disapproving, but she couldn't cheer her up face to face, so she reluctantly agreed.After freshening up and having dinner amidst the joy and encouragement of the crowd, I seized the opportunity and quietly took my second sister and bit her ear for a while.

The two sisters haven't seen each other for several months, and they are very affectionate, and Second Sister You has always been fond of her, knowing that she wants to inquire about this matter, so she said it bluntly. Shanzi is so lucky, she must be fine with her talent and appearance, there is a hint of envy in her words.

Regarding this, Yao Shan could only smile wryly and said, "Second Sister is really flattering my younger sister. Speaking of which, I'm just at the right age. If Second Sister is under her age, it will be my turn."

Second Sister You smiled and said, "Third Sister, you have been out for a while, and this mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. Even if I am the same size as you, I will definitely not be able to participate in the election, and I will not." Needle injections, I don't know how to read letters, and I don't know how to spank my nephew..."

Before she finished speaking, Yao Shan rushed over to pretend to fight, and pretended to blame: "Second sister is still talking about me, your mouth is getting more and more powerful, see if I don't tear it up."

While hiding, the second sister laughed and cursed, and the little girl's little envy disappeared immediately.No matter what time it is, she is always sincerely happy for Yao Shan, and this has never changed.

Yao Shan's originally irritable mood calmed down a lot because of these touches and warmth.She laughed and quarreled with her second sister for a while, and someone outside said, "The master is back, let the third girl go over and talk."

So the two sisters went out together, and when they reached the courtyard of the main room, the second sister said that they would go to the main room to meet Zi Yu, and Yao Shan went to the study to meet Master You.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, but Mr. You looks more and more radiant.Presumably he was also looking forward to this election, and when he saw her, he said excitedly, "Three girls are back? How was the journey? Are you sick or tired?"

Yao Shan replied obediently according to the standardized answer as usual: "Master, take care of yourself, you have a good trip, never sick, not tired."

Master You smiled with his beard and nodded repeatedly.Fu asked about the Lin family again, lamented about the death of Lin Ruhai's wife, and then turned to the main topic.

"Did your mother tell you about running for female office in the coming year?"

Yao Shan nodded and said: "When I returned home today, my mother had already told me about it."

Master You nodded and said, "Is there any way to be selected?"

Yao Shan silently rolled her eyes, and thought to herself that there is no way to directly ask the gods to choose, isn't this father too real?It never occurred to me to ask her if she would like to?

Master You was still waiting for her answer with great anticipation, and she couldn't really push back like this, so she smiled and said: "My daughter wants to ask the master, but she must go to choose a servant this time?"

Master You said strangely: "The imperial decree has been issued, so of course we must go." He paused, frowned slightly, looked at Yao Shan and said, "Could it be that you don't want to go?"

Yao Shan sighed and said: "How dare my daughter resist the edict, but this time, there must be a lot of famous ladies and ladies in the election, and the number may not be large, which will disappoint the master."

Master You said with a smile: "We Shan'er has the character, talent and appearance, and we will definitely be selected. Besides, I have already discussed with your mother. During this year's selection period, I will find someone to teach Yu You, I guarantee that you will fulfill your wish in the coming year."

Hearing Master You's words, Yao Shan felt that the corners of her mouth were about to twitch.However, her father still looked forward to the future with her for a long time like chicken blood, and he let her go back after seeing that it was getting late.

Yao Shan slowly moved back to her boudoir with a stiff smiling face and sore muscles.After serving Xiaotao and Nanny Hu to wash up and rest, she still couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

In fact, she really wanted to say that she was really not interested in choosing a servant or something.Whether she was sent to choose a concubine for the emperor or their uncles and brothers, or sent to choose a companion for their daughters and nieces, she was not interested.

She really wanted to spend another two years at ease before she had to get married, and she really didn't want to go to a place where she was not familiar with to serve people.

How can I lose the election?

This is a problem.

Habitually stroking the ancient mirror on his neck, his consciousness gradually became hazy.When she was about to fall asleep, she vaguely remembered that Xue Baochai was also running for election when she came to Beijing this time. It seemed that she also chose this female official, right?

Or, when you wake up tomorrow, you can get in touch with her to exchange experiences in reverse?
