After everyone finally sat down to eat, Jiang Heng discovered that although Ma Jia was difficult to get along with, he had two strengths.

One is that the goal is clear: Ma Jia's family is obviously rushing to be the leader of the newcomer. She smoothed it out so that the rest of the people would obediently bow their heads.

From Ma Jia's point of view, since entering the palace, she is no longer a woman who cares about her husband and teaches her children to eat peace meals. She must be a high-ranking empress, able to sit in the high position, and receive salutes and greetings from her inner and outer wives during festivals and festivals. It is worthy of entering the palace.

The second is that although Ma Jiashi complained a lot, he was actually quite persistent. For example, now: Jiang Heng picked up a chopstick and ate the stir-fried tenderloin. After stumbling and stumbling through the dishes, he was very dissatisfied with his performance, so he insisted on asking the nuns for a pair of heavy ebony silver chopsticks, and decided to use these for eating in the future.

A pair of chopsticks that can't be used well, vowing not to give up.

This is the kind of chicken-blooded person in the workplace. From the moment he enters the unit, he must strive to be the first everywhere. He firmly believes that he will fall down step by step, so he will not give up an inch.

Jiang Heng suspects that when the author wrote Ma Jiashi, he wrote it purely as a comparison group for the heroine.

Jiang Heng looked at Ma Jiashi from the corner of his eye for a while, after tossing the heavy ebony silver chopsticks with great effort, his eyes lingered more on Guo Shi.

Not for anything else, but because there is a dish of braised bamboo shoots in oil in front of Guo Shi, which looks very delicious and ready to eat.

Counting the season is the latest spring bamboo shoots, just think about how fresh they are.If you sprinkle a few drops of sesame oil on the cold salad, it will be refreshing and delicious, and the thick oily red sauce and crispy pork belly will be braised together, which is another kind of meal.

Let's say that even though they all eat together, each of them eats different meals, even if they are always together, they will not eat the same meal.

The canteen is smart: only the same meals can be compared, for example, your meat has one more piece, and my dim sum is more delicately arranged.

The masters above don't be shy, the unlucky ones are often the servants, maybe just for a plate of food, two pieces of snacks are dragged out and beaten to death.

It's not as good as having the same number of dishes, but the dishes are completely different, so that people can't compare them.

Anyway, the concubines in different positions are there every month, and the kitchen staff memorize the memorization fluently, which does not exceed the personal rules.

Jiang Heng is looking forward to it, tomorrow's dining room will also serve her braised bamboo shoots.Don't be too late, the weather in the capital will be hot as soon as it is said, and the bamboo shoots will not taste good when they are old.

Remembering the braised bamboo shoots in oil, Jiang Heng finished the meal.

Speaking of which, a group of newcomers are not used to having meals together in the main room, but Jiang Heng is quite used to it.This is similar to the canteen of a work unit, where meals are shared. Although everyone sits in the same room, they each eat their own food.

The only thing she has to pay attention to is to control the speed of her eating. In the past, she used to eat a few bites quickly before going to work, but now she has to eat slowly and gracefully.

Perhaps for other beautiful girls, it is a pure suffering to be trapped in the Chuxiu Palace to learn the rules as soon as they get the Qingyun Road into the palace, but for Jiang Heng, this month in the Chuxiu Palace is a rare one. buffer.It's like participating in a well-organized Buddhist class. The activity will stipulate your daily routine of eating and meditating. It may seem restrictive, but it takes just one month to cultivate an inertia to adapt to the current life.

After entering the palace, the attitudes of all the beautiful girls towards learning the palace rules fell into the eyes of the nuns.

Let's talk about a nanny in the queen mother's palace, who can be called the "sweeping monk" of the harem.

On the surface, she is not as orthodox as Madam Si and Madam Hu, the head of the respect room in the Queen's Palace, when she lectures on the palace rules, and is not as important as Madam Ye when she inspects conduct. Let's talk about the old things and old examples of the harem.

It seemed that she was selected by the queen mother just to make up an even number.

In fact, this man has entered the palace since the time of Lord Shunzhi. He has stayed in the palace for more than 50 years, and has seen the change of three emperors with his eyes, not to mention the turmoil in the harem.

Jiang Heng had read the spoiler and knew that this seemingly innocuous person was actually the senior of the Empress Dowager when she first entered the palace.The empress dowager was born in dressing, and entered the palace as a maid. She learned the palace rules and work from this old lady Zhou, and she also taught her a few hands of needlework.

Later, although the Wu Ya clan became a concubine from a court lady, they were struggling every step of the way and were careful everywhere, so they didn't make a big fuss about poaching this old-fashioned nanny into their own palace.

It wasn't until now that she became the empress dowager that Nanny Zhou was justifiably transferred to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

But Nanny Zhou is very low-key, she doesn't mention her relationship with the Queen Mother at all, she is still as humble as an ordinary palace official.It was the queen mother who insisted that she was old, so she sent two little girls to serve her.

Now the Empress Dowager asked her to come to the Chuxiu Palace to look at the beautiful girls, because she was worried about the concubine Nian, and even the Queen, so she invited this Nanny Zhou to come out of the mountain.

Others see her as just an ordinary nanny in the Empress Dowager's palace, but she is older than her age, but in fact, her position in the Empress Dowager's heart is second only to Aunt Wuya - this is still in terms of closeness, in terms of respect, she can Ranked first, the queen mother trusted her vision and wisdom very much.

Jiang Heng also wanted to do better in front of Nanny Zhou.

After all, in the first half of "Xin Fei Lu", the emperor is basically still in a passionate relationship with Nian Guifei.

The attitude towards Concubine Nian is 'I don't like it', and the attitude towards the other concubines is 'Basically not'.

The empress dowager's care is a very precious shelter in the harem.

In the early stage, the heroine was completely out of line with the emperor, and her name was remembered by the emperor because of the family halo of "my Cong Yipin father".

On the contrary, the queen mother had high hopes for the Guerjia family at first.

It's just that the queen mother was a little disappointed when she heard Zhou Nanny mentioned that the heroine's character was too "cautious and forbearing".In the first half a year after the heroine left Chuxiu Palace, the queen mother still remembered this girl who was her favorite, and mentioned it to the emperor several times.

It's just that the heroine has always been evasive and forbearing, and never shows up.Later, the queen mother gradually forgot about her.After all, in addition to the concubines, there are countless maids in the harem, all of whom are the reserve for the emperor's newcomers.There are so many women, the flowers are becoming more and more charming.

After being forgotten by the queen mother, the heroine entered the bleakest four years.

After eating the longest lunch in the palace, everyone was a little tired, especially Ma Jiashi who insisted on eating with long and heavy ebony silver chopsticks. Move your wrists under the table.

After the tiring and tense cooking practice and a meal, everyone was a little dizzy and wanted to lie down and rest for a while.

Like everyone else, Jiang Heng looked at the four coaches with some anticipation: According to the usual practice of starting classes at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, there is no way to take a break at noon to catch your breath.

Madam Si, the head of the four major instructors, stood up and gave everyone a sweet date to eat: "My little masters, you have worked hard in learning cloth dishes. Today's noon class is half an hour late."

However, along with the sweet dates, there is another stick.

Si Momo said with a straight face: "There is one more thing that the young lords need to know. The empress originally thought that the young lords would learn the rules with great care. After the first month's term, they will allocate the palace and order the respect room to be green. The first card is good to serve the holy driver. It's just..."

She paused and deepened her tone: "It's just that the imperial concubine is careful. If you only learn the Tao and don't take the test, someone will pass it by fooling around. Therefore, if you want to leave the Chuxiu Palace, you must not only pass the eyes of the slaves, but also pay attention to it." You have to pass the test given by the imperial concubine herself."

As soon as Madam Si said this, Jiang Heng looked around and immediately understood an idiom, that is, 'beauty loses color'.

Mother Ye's eyebrows twitched when she heard the people in the Queen's Palace pushing this matter to the noble concubine, but Mother Si didn't even give her a look. The next bad news was announced.

"Now the young masters have also learned the seven-day rules. The imperial concubine and empress mean that on the tenth day, the exam will be taken first!"

The implication: Look, you don't have to worry about failing the final exam in one month, but worry about whether you can pass the stage exam three days later!

Jiang Heng was fortunate to witness "Hua Rong pales in shock" again.

Speaking of which, she was also a little surprised. In "The Record of Concubine Xin", there is indeed an assessment for the newcomers when they leave the Chuxiu Palace, but only after the end of the month, the nuns inspect their basic operations such as changing clothes, serving dishes, walking, and greeting them. , and there is no written test.

Is it a butterfly?

Indeed.Because she is not the tolerant and obedient character of the heroine, Nanny Ye can't handle her and naturally reports the truth to Concubine Nian.

So Concubine Nian took advantage of the quarrel between the show girls over the Manchu and Han military flags, so she had to take the test every ten days, plus a written test!

The noble concubine mentioned this to the queen, but she just smiled and said: "We should also let them know a little respect for dignity and inferiority in their hearts, so as to save them from fighting every day, and even learning a rule seems like they have been wronged - the concubine would like to see it." Look, how much time they have learned this palace rule!"

Because it was Nian Guifei's idea to throw Xiunu into Chuxiu Palace, and she also asked the emperor's will.The queen is simply too lazy to care about it, so go ahead and make trouble!What you sow causes you to reap the fruits. The imperial concubine had better hope that there will be no outstanding figures among the show girls this year, and in the next 30 years in Hexi, they will fall into the hands of others and be tortured.
