[Quick Transmigration] The Red Chamber abused me a thousand times

However, Baochai and Aunt Xue still went to visit the Wang family and Jia family: everyone is relatives, and there is Wang Ziteng as the middleman.

It's just that when he went to visit Wang's house, father Xue accompanied his wife and daughter, and even had a drink and chat with Wang Ziteng.But Baochai and Aunt Xue were the only ones who went to Jia's house.Because Baochai was sitting in a sedan chair, Baochai didn't know which door her mother and daughter came in from, but when they reached the second door, except for a few servants, no master came forward, and with Mrs. The grand occasion of the daughter-in-law meeting is very different.

Bypassing the main room of Rongxi Hall, you came to the three side rooms where Mrs. Wang lived. Zhou Rui's family was waiting here with a smile: "My aunt is here, my wife is waiting for you."

After entering the second door, Aunt Xue's face was not very good-looking, but now that she has arrived at the door and her sister has not shown her face, her face is even darker.Baochai didn't think it was a problem, so she pulled Aunt Xue's sleeve quietly, and Aunt Xue's expression turned around, but her words were still a little cold: "I think my sister is still busy, or we won't wait here. in the way."

The embarrassment on Zhou Rui's family's face was about to turn into substance: "My wife is waiting for my concubine on purpose. There is no reason for my concubine to wait."

Aunt Xue snorted before entering the curtain that the girl had already raised.Mrs. Wang in the room may have heard the conversation between Zhou Rui's family and Aunt Xue, and she stood up at this moment: "Why haven't we seen each other in these years, your temper has grown?"

Aunt Xue was still a little in awe of her sister-in-law who was pressing on her all the time. When she heard Mrs. Wang say this, her face was a little embarrassing: "Isn't she thinking that my sister is the mistress of the Duke's mansion, and she is afraid of disturbing her?" Did my sister handle the housework?"

Mrs. Wang also smiled and revealed the matter.Looking at Baochai who was beside Aunt Xue, the smile on her face grew more: "This is girl Bao. Come and let me have a look, she really looks good, she looks like a good girl who is sensible and polite."

At this time, everyone was already seated, and Baochai bowed down respectfully: "Greetings to Auntie."

Mrs. Wang smiled kindly, holding Baochai's hand and complaining: "Such a good child, why are you so cruel and send her to a place where no one can be seen? You can't Growing up in Beijing, it’s not convenient to manage it.”

Before Aunt Xue came, she knew that her sister would be dissatisfied with this matter - both Baochai and Yuanchun were Wang Ziteng's nieces, but Wang Ziteng wanted to have help in the palace, and one was enough.If Baochai enters the palace, Prince Teng will have to choose and weigh between the two nieces, and it's no wonder his sister is satisfied.

Fortunately, the speech was settled with Xue's father at home, and now Aunt Xue said without any pressure: "My sister also knows what our family is like. Pan'er is a failure, and this girl can be counted on. Also Don't ask her to be rich, but just hope to be in the eyes of the nobles, and point her to a good family, wouldn't it be better than our own blind thinking. What kind of good family is there in Jinling."

The matter involved a daughter's marriage, and Daiyu did not enter the Rongguo Mansion in this life, and Mrs. Wang had no intention of using Baochai to fight the old lady, so naturally she would not hint about the second treasure as in the original book, so she had to say: "If you can get the nobleman's eyes Naturally it's good. It's just that Bao girl's status is not good, you can take care of it, have you thought about letting her serve in front of some noble person?"

Aunt Xue sighed: "Our master can only know a few people, we have to watch her life."

Mrs. Wang's spirit was lifted: "Because of Yuan Chun, my family is familiar with a few acquaintances. If you think about where to let Bao girl serve, you can also say something."

Before coming here, Father Xue was afraid that Aunt Xue would be coaxed by Mrs. Wang with a few good words, so he had already ordered her not to make decisions on her own, no matter what Mrs. Wang said.In addition, when she came to Rongguo Mansion this time, Mrs. Wang was too negligent, which made Aunt Xue feel dissatisfied, so Aunt Xue said: "That's good. I will go back and discuss with our master before I trouble my sister."

Mrs. Wang said again: "It's almost the end of the year, and it's a good time to go out with the inner ministers. It's better for you and your master to discuss it quickly."

Aunt Xue agreed, chatted a little more, and proposed to visit the old lady.This is also what it should mean, Mrs. Wang sent someone to Rongqing Hall to ask, the old lady was bored, so naturally she would like to see Aunt Xue, mother and daughter.

It is the first time for Baochai to get a seat in Rongqing Hall.Feeling deeply in his heart, Baochai still had a decent smile on his face, and listened to the long-winded exchanges between several old women without interrupting or showing any impatience.Mother Jia looked at it secretly, and she fell in love with this girl from the Xue family, and she was going to have someone remind her granddaughter not to underestimate her aunt.

Relatives who hadn't seen each other for a long time came to the door, and Jia's mother was gracious to stay for dinner, so Baochai saw the Sanchun sisters again.I just feel that the personalities of the three of them have been preliminarily determined, and if there is no great external force, it may be difficult to change them.In her previous life, she was a brother of others, so she had a reason to help others, but in this life, she is just a distant relative by marriage, and she absolutely has no reason to interfere in other people's family affairs.

What's more, after discovering Xue's father's use and calculations on him, Baochai has made up his mind: in the future, except for a few people who treat him sincerely, he will only treat others as help or resistance to complete the task, and will not reach out rashly, so as not to worry about others. No thanks.She came to this reincarnation just to complete the task, not to save the world.

Although he could think clearly, Baochai was still a little dejected when facing a few girls who knew that the ending would be tragic, and he didn't say much, just making sure that he would not be rude.In the eyes of everyone, she felt calm and peaceful. No wonder the Xue family dared to let her enter the palace to fight for her future.I don't know if it was a surprise.

After returning home, Aunt Xue told Father Xue about the conversation with Mrs. Wang.It's a pity that whether Mrs. Wang used Aunt Xue's accompanying room to lead Xue Pan to learn bad things, or Jia Zheng turned a blind eye to Father Xue, Father Xue had already become wary of the two couples.So after Aunt Xue finished speaking, Father Xue's first realization was: Mrs. Wang was going to cheat his family's money again.The second cognition is to prevent Aunt Xue from getting in touch with Mrs. Wang, lest this silly lady give money to others and make people scold her as a fool.

As a result, Aunt Xue's life became very busy: not only did she have to complete the walks with the various families, but she also had to prepare the clothes that Baochai would bring into the palace.There are also people's purses that need to be checked when running for the election, and how much should be filled with silver bills or gold and silver locks, anyway, there are many things that can keep people busy.

After being so busy, the Xue family has not had a good life for years, and it has come to the day when Baochai should go to the election.Father Xue sent Baochai to Shenwumen, and there were already a large number of girls in bean green clothes lining up there.

Father Xue helped Baochai get out of the car, and told her in a low voice, "Hold the sign and don't let it go." Seeing Baochai nodding, he said, "The inspectors have already checked, you are just choosing palace maids. It's not that strict. When someone checks it out for you, remember to hand over your purse. When you enter the palace, don't take money, and be careful in everything."

Baochai nodded again, and said, "Father, take care."

Father Xue said with a smile on his face, "Be careful yourself. Remember the person who told you. If it is really troublesome, let someone send a letter home." After finishing speaking, he watched Baochai walk towards Those girls with the same clothes as her were gradually overwhelmed by the crowd, and it was impossible to tell which was which.

It is false to say that I am not nervous, but it is not true to say how nervous I am.Baochai knew that Father Xue had been interacting with people from the House of Internal Affairs throughout the New Year's Eve. If it was not easy to lose the election, but with his own appearance and Father Xue's management, it would not be difficult to be selected.

Sure enough, the selection of court ladies is not so strict compared with the descriptions of the selection in many articles.But as Father Xue said, the King of Hades is easy to see, and the little ghost is hard to deal with. After being inspected from the inside out, Baochai had to carefully hand over the purse to the inspecting mother: "Please trouble the mother."

The two nuns touched the purse in their hands, knowing that it must be filled with bank notes, so they smiled at Baochai: "Young lady has icy muscles and bones, and I will be buried for participating in this small election." Dao Miaozan carefully backed out and stood with the passers-by.

Perhaps there are many people in the palace who need to serve, Baochai and the others, except for those who are really unsightly, have a strange smell, and have too vulgar behavior, [-]% of the selected palace ladies passed the inspection.But this is only the primary election, during the next month of learning the rules, people will be eliminated from time to time.

The nearly 20 court ladies who passed the inspection were all taken to live in a large courtyard because they had not yet been divided into palaces.Naturally, there will not be the treatment of a few show girls, and they will live in a Datong shop with [-] people.After Baochai followed the crowd into the assigned room, she realized how low the status of the court lady was: the big kang on both sides occupied more than half of the room, and the middle was a small aisle, which could only allow two people to pass sideways.There were twenty sets of bedding laid out on the kang, but the color could not be distinguished, and the smell was not much better.

Even though she was mentally prepared, Baochai still shed bitter tears for herself, not wanting to lead their aunt to shout angrily at that time: "I'm going to die. Is there a place where tears can be seen in this palace?" People had already walked to Baochai. Next to Chai, he twisted her body with all his strength.

Baochai gritted her teeth tightly, and didn't let her cry of pain come out, and said with a smile: "Thank you, aunt, for reminding me." The aunt saw that she was quite knowledgeable, so she said harshly to everyone: "What you need to know The first rule is that no matter whether you are dead, or you have lost your hands and feet, you can't show a trace of sadness on your face. The master asked you to serve, not because of your face."

When everyone heard this, they all responded in unison, even if there was someone as wronged as Baochai, they suppressed that grievance to the bottom of their hearts.Even Baochai herself put her little burden on the bedding against the wall, and waited with everyone for her aunt's next instruction.

Fortunately, the teachings of the two nuns in the past few years were not in vain. Baochai’s experience in letting the nuns demonstrate is also there, and he learned the rules a little faster than others—most of the people who came to be elected as palace maids were commoners Girls at home, who learn few rules at home, show Baochai's intelligence.

After learning the rules for a month, Baochai already knew that there were not only the current concubines in the palace, but also the concubines of the Supreme Emperor.Not to mention the concubines of the Supreme Emperor—there are enough people around them to serve them, but there are fewer people around the concubines today.It is related to the state system, so naturally the emperor's women can't be wronged, that's why there are so many talents left by the court ladies this time - even in this month, more than 80 people have been eliminated, and there are still [-] People stay.

Which palace these 80 people will be assigned to, whether they will directly serve the nobles, or serve as rough envoys for cleaning, or even directly assigned to the cold palace will never be able to get ahead, the decision will be made when the palaces select people tomorrow.

"Sister Baochai, I think you will definitely be assigned to the nobles' palace." The speaker was Qiulan, who lived next to Baochai, a girl from a small family in Beijing. He couldn't afford the dowry, so he was sent to the palace.

"You can't say that," Baochai shook her head cautiously, "Who gets assigned to which palace depends on what the nobles want."

Qiu Lan disagreed and retorted: "But among us people, you are good-looking and quick to understand the rules, so you will definitely win the eyes of the nobles."

If the latter item can still catch the eyes of nobles, then the first item is simply Baochai's death spot: no nobleman is willing to have a maid in his palace who may attract the attention of the Holy One.Baochai didn't care about Qiulan any more, and only thought about darkening the powder and making the makeup lighter tomorrow.

It was also because of the purse gifted by Lin Ruhai that Baochai implicitly proposed to Xue's father that day that he wanted to distribute it to Concubine Shu's palace.This goal is not consistent with Father Xue's goal, because according to Father Xue's thinking, he still respects his first wife and often goes to Kunning Palace where the Queen lives, so Baochai should also go to Kunning Palace.

But Baochai said that Jia Yuanchun was said to be a female official in front of the queen, not to mention whether she would suppress herself, if she asked herself to contribute money from time to time, would she give it or not?It's not as good as Concubine Shu's palace, far away from Yuanchun, Concubine Shu herself has a son, who knows if she will have the last laugh in the future.

Father Xue felt that what Baochai said was reasonable, so he made great efforts.Before Baochai was elected, he had already said that there was no major problem.It's just that there are so many variables in this palace, how can an imperial merchant outside the palace control it?In case Concubine Shu didn't want her maids to be too beautiful, who would Baochai cry to?

So before the division of the palace on the second day, Qiulan discovered that her elder sister Baochai, whose face was like a silver basin and whose eyes were like water apricots, had a yellow complexion, and there was no expression in her eyes. She looked less than usual. Five or six talents.

"My sister doesn't get sick early or late, so why did she get sick when she was divided into palaces? If she gets into a bad place because of this, how long will she be able to survive?"

Baochai hurriedly squeezed her hand, signaling her to be careful not to let her aunts hear, and Qiulan shut up.It's just that the eyes that looked at Baochai from time to time were full of worry, which made Baochai's already cold heart feel hot again.But there are too many variables in this palace, and Baochai can't believe that Qiulan, who is very concerned about her now, will treat her like this in a year, two years, or even five or ten years later.

They are just little court ladies, not worthy of the presence of concubines in person.Those who came to select people were all the chief eunuchs or maids of honor from various palaces, which left room for those who had some connections in their families to manipulate.

The emperor's concubines did not select candidates this time, they naturally selected from the empress's palace, listening to the eunuch's location one by one, Baochai was very disturbed, afraid that the eunuch's eyes were so good that he would find him.Fortunately, there was no danger, ten people were selected from the Queen's Palace, and there was no Baochai.Different from the reluctance of the rest of the candidates, Baochai was a little secretly happy, but years of upbringing had made her to the point where she couldn't express her emotions or anger.

At present, there are not many harems. Apart from the Queen, the only high-ranking concubines are Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu and the three concubines. The seven Jieyu, five beauties, and five talented people can choose their own candidates. It can only be allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.After Kunning Palace finished selecting people, Xianfei Palace selected six people. I don't know if they don't want to surpass the queen, or they only need so many people.

Baochai became more and more anxious, wondering if Concubine Shu would choose fewer people, let alone whether Father Xue's management was in place, or if it was just to make her feel at ease.Just as he was thinking, he heard the singing of "Xue Baochai".After answering in a low voice, Baochai walked quickly to the two maids who had been called out, and the maids who were not called looked at them with jealousy or envy.

After a while, three more court ladies stood with them, and the eunuch who picked them didn't call anyone else.It seems that all the concubines know how to advance and retreat, and no one challenges the queen's nerves on such a trivial matter.

The eunuch who came to pick someone said to the person he had chosen: "Go back and pack your things quickly, and follow our house." Baochai and the others returned to the house as if a switch had been turned on. Get your own stuff.

Concubine Shu lives in Shangli Palace. It is impossible to test why this palace got its name, but the palace is magnificent and the flowers and trees are beautiful, which shows that the master's status in the palace cannot be ignored-there is a third prince who is more than ten years old, even if he is not the first wife or the eldest son. , is enough for Concubine Shu to be as stable as Mount Tai in the harem.Following such a master, even if it is not easy to shine, but it is easy to save one's life, this is already the best place for court ladies.

"Bitao, this is the newly picked maid. Do you think we should invite the empress to see you now, or let them learn the rules of our palace again?" The eunuch who picked someone said to a maid dressed as a big court lady.

The court lady's duck-faced face remained motionless, her round almond eyes slightly raised: "What did Eunuch Hai say, how dare you forget all the rules of the empress?"

The man named Hai Gonggong didn't even change his face, and he asked for it lightly on his face: "Thank you, aunt, for reminding me, the little one is really getting up early and bumping into customers. Who does the aunt think the little one will give them to?" How is Aunt?"

Aunt Bi Tao only pondered for a moment, and said to a poorly dressed court lady: "Hongmei, you take them to the residence you vacated yesterday, and then take them to collect their belongings. Let them freshen up Let's talk about it in the afternoon when the empress is free."

The palace maid named Hongmei responded, and when Bi Tao finished speaking, she repeated herself again, and said to Baochai and the others, "Come with me."

Baochai responded with the crowd, and at the same time wrote down the conversations of several people in his heart: that Eunuch Hai may be the chief eunuch of Shangli Palace, or he may be the second-class eunuch, but obviously he is not as good as Bitao in front of Concubine Shu. Face.It may also be that Bi Tao wanted to show his prestige in front of the newcomers, or else he wouldn't be so disrespectful to him - if he hadn't called him by his name on weekdays, that Eunuch Hai would definitely not lose face in front of them newcomers.

It seems that this Concubine Shu trusts her maids the most, not these eunuchs who don't know where they came from.This is also the normal state of many concubines in the palace: the families of high-ranking concubines are more or less powerful, and if they want to send a maid into the palace to serve their own mother, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not be stingy to obstruct it.

Fortunately, Baochai has just entered the palace, and now she is only 13 years old and has just passed her birthday, and her life is still long. Appearing in front of Concubine Shu, she would have to abandon her mother's family who had been sent to the palace for many years, and obey her own words.

People are arrogant, but they are not so arrogant.Besides, Baochai knew in her heart that her goal was not to compete for favor in front of Concubine Shu, but to overwhelm Jia Yuanchun.Originally because of Jia's family, she didn't even have the chance to enter the palace and break Yuan Chun's wrist, but now she is better than the original book, so why not be satisfied?

Hongmei led them around the main hall, and a row of huts appeared in front of her. Hongmei said: "You are new here, and there can only be four people in one room. There are already two people living in that room. Which two are you?" to that house?"

Seeing that no one moved, Baochai smiled at Hongmei and said, "If you go back to Auntie, I'll go."

Hongmei glanced at Baochai, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "That's fine." Turning to the other five people, the smile had already disappeared: "Even if you don't want to, I have to let you squeeze together." gone."

The five people looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't expect that they would have to squeeze five people into one room when they were only a little late in speaking: the room with the back cover is only so big, and it seems cramped for four people. Can't even turn around.

Baochai obediently put her own things into the room assigned to her, and she would not approach the two beds with bedding, so she only put her small bundle on the chair in front of the bed near the door.There was nothing on the bed, and there was some dust on it. It could be seen that no one lived there for a while.

Hearing that the neighbors hadn't been settled yet, Baochai picked up the water basin and went out to fetch water—the bed was quite dusty, so it had to be wiped down before the bedding could be put on.Hongmei was outside listening to how the five people separated their beds, and when she saw Baochai coming out, she had to ask, "It's hard to pack up, where do you want to go?" I was too anxious, so I whispered: "The well platform is on the east side, and it's still slippery, so be careful."

Baochai could hear the kindness in these words, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie, for your advice." He went to fetch water, and began his life of listening to orders and serving others.
