Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

Wan Lai was quiet, Hongxiu sat beside the bed. She lived in a very small room, sharing a big bed with six other court ladies. There was no separate wardrobe, no separate dressing table. This is almost ten years of life for Hongxiu. When she was most embarrassed, she enjoyed the best resources of the brothel and became the top card since she picked up the first guest.

For Hong Xiu, her destiny is set. The best future she imagined is waiting to catch a man at the best age. This man may be a rich businessman, or a young master, and then redeemed from the brothel. From a larger cage to a smaller cage.

She will be favored, and then fall out of favor. Her origin is destined that she cannot be the wife that anyone is married to.

Or maybe she will not be redeemed. When she gets old, she will become a sweeping mother-in-law in the brothel, crouching, wiping the steps and the ground. No one will know that she was a graceful beauty when she was flourishing. .

She has thought about a lot, but never thought that she would sit in such a place, and never thought that her past experiences would become the experience she now relies on.

"An Xiu, don't sit down, come up and go to bed." The maid lay on the bed with half-squinted eyes and called to her, "I have to get up early for work tomorrow."

Hongshou climbed onto the bed, covered it with the quilt, only half of his head was exposed, and the maids whispered about the day.

"I can't sleep, my aunt punished me to kneel in the afternoon. My knee still hurts."

The little palace ladies are the daughters of the little officials. They have not enjoyed the luxurious life of the nobles. The only difference from the daughters of ordinary people is that they don’t have to go hungry, but they still have to do their jobs. The little officials’ salary plus bribery is not enough. Family enjoyment.

"Auntie is so fierce..."

"They are hiding the queen empress!"

The grand ladies are in charge of everything around the queen. They are the eyes of the queen and the ears of the queen. They press the little ladies underneath. They are afraid that if they rush up, they will have to come down. After all, the seats next to the queen can be counted. of.

But in the naive fantasy of the little palace ladies, the queen was hidden by the big palace ladies.

Hong Xiu listened quietly, without saying a word.

"The empress has a good temper. I heard that she made a mistake and didn't hit the board."

"The queen doesn't fight, the aunts want to fight, and the thugs hurt."

"I heard that the palm of the hand will be swollen if it is beaten twenty times, and it will be useless if it is beaten fifty times."

"We can't make mistakes. The beating is small and the shame is big. My family is still waiting for me to get out of the palace!"

Although she was older when she left the palace, the girls who had been in the palace were better off talking after they went out.

Being able to enter the palace is a matter of face.

"I heard that Li Niangniang is the most favored. The emperor goes to her every day."

"Li Niangniang looks beautiful! They all say Li Niangniang is more beautiful than Concubine Yang!"

"Can the emperor love her if it is beautiful?"

"Go to bed, work tomorrow, don't wake up aunt."

The little maidservants stopped talking. Some closed their eyes to sleep, and some kept their eyes open. They looked at each other with the little sister next to them, buried their heads in the quilt and smirked.

The sun is shining on the earth, and this temporary small imperial city awakens from the night. The servants and the maidservants are hurried, and the cold is not cleared in early spring. They walk in the imperial city wearing cotton-padded clothes, and the red sleeves follow the maids bowing forward, their eyes always look in front No one knows what is ahead, who is ahead.

"An Xiu, come with me." The leading palace lady called Hongshou.

Hong Xiu walked up to her in front of her, Hong Xiu lowered her head, her eyes blank and uneasy, like every young girl worried in her heart.

The palace lady smiled in the red sleeves: "I think you are honest and well-behaved. It happened that there was an older sister in the palace leaving the palace, and a lady serving tea was missing."

Hong Xiu's eyes burst with light, she looked very excited, and said cautiously: "I bought rouge for Sister Zhang."

The palace lady's surname is Zhang, and the dress coughed pretentiously: "I'm not aiming for this benefit, or I'll see you behave and give you a chance."

Hong Xiu nodded repeatedly: "I know I know, it's my sister who is thinking of me."

She gave the palace lady Zhang a lot of benefits, and almost all the gold she brought into the palace was given to her, and she barely got through this joint.

If Palace Lady Zhang did not fulfill her promise, then she would be struggling in the palace. At that time, she could only send a letter to the fourth and them. After thinking about a new method, the original plan would have to fail, and she could only become them in the palace. Of one eye.

Palace Lady Zhang took the small box of rouge that Red Sleeve handed over, pursed her lips and smiled: "If you can make a face in front of your mother in the future, don't forget me."

Hongxiu: "With my sister's auspicious words, if one day develops, I will never forget my sister's great grace."

"Let's go now." The lady Zhang led the way and told Red Sleeve, "You have to be more cautious when you go to the temple. You are smart. I don't need to mention anything else, just remember one sentence. Others don't care, that Aunt Zhao can get it. Be careful, she has the most face next to the empress. If you offend others, it's okay. If you offend her, you don't know how you died."

Hong Xiu asked in a low voice, "Is Aunt Zhao fierce?"

The palace lady Zhang led her through the small door. No one passed by here was regarded as a blind spot. She looked around, and after making sure that no one was passing by, she pulled her red sleeves and said, "Aunt Zhao is an old man following the empress."

"Before Niang Niang enters the palace, she is the most powerful person around Niang Niang." Gong Mai said, "She doesn't love money, so don't go to her to give gifts. Aunt Zhao likes honest people."

Hong Xiu understood, and said with a sweet smile: "Thank you, sister."

Palace Lady Zhang smiled and said: "You are fine, I can be better too, right?"

It’s good to be able to hang out in the palace. If you have a familiar face in front of the master, you will be out of the palace and give birth to a child. Maybe you can go back to the palace and continue to be a nanny. If you are lucky and the master has a child, you can come back. To be a nanny, when the time comes, you will reach the sky in one step.

As long as it can be remembered by the master, everything else is imaginary.

There is not much that the maid serving tea can do, that is, making tea for the queen. If the maid next to the queen is holding her, then she won't even have the chance to bring tea to the queen and make her face familiar.

But even so, those who fight for this position can still break the head.

"Aunt Zhao, this is An Xiu." The palace lady Zhang brought the red sleeves to Aunt Zhao, and all the palace ladies in the palace had to pass in front of her.

Aunt Zhao is in her thirties. She has a stern face and a stereotype that is older than her age. Her lips are thin and look a little bit mean. Her back is slightly rickety. This is the result of years of bending over. No matter she What a face in front of the queen and how much power she held in her hand, she was just a slave who couldn't straighten up facing her master.

Aunt Zhao just took a look at Hongxiu, and said calmly: "Be honest, do what you should do, don't think about what you shouldn't have."

Hongxiu lowered her head, she could only see her skirt: "Yes, Aunt Xie mentioned it."

Aunt Zhao: "It's not worth mentioning something, just follow it."

Hong Xiu has learned some tea. Her tea art is very good. An oiran from a brothel must be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy, be able to reciting poems with literati, and serve others.

Being a senior prostitute in ancient times was also a technical job.

"Not bad." Aunt Zhao drank a lipstick of tea, and finally made such a comment, "The craftsmanship is OK."

Red sleeves showed an expression of excitement appropriately.

Aunt Zhao glanced at her sideways, her red sleeves tightening her neck.

Aunt Zhao: "What does it look like to be so free? This is the queen's palace, a model for women in the world!"

Hongxiu lowered his head: "Yes."

Aunt Zhao looked away: "You are a slave to the empress, and you must be loyal to the empress. If I know whether you are communicating with the outside world, I will tell you to come in vertically and go out horizontally."

After Aunt Zhao finished beating, Hong Xiu was led away by other court ladies.

Although it is the palace of the queen, it is actually not big. After all, Anfeng is only a county. It cannot be compared with most cities or the real imperial city. It’s just that everyone pretends that this is the imperial city. The palace has also become more magnificent.

Hong Xiu looked at all this calmly, but his heart was full of contempt.

The women here take pride in becoming the queen's maids, and they tie their honor and disgrace to one person.

This person tells them to live and to die.

How similar to her once?

She once pinned everything about herself on men.

But then she discovered that her life must be in her hands to live happily.

It's like she is standing here now, not because of the honor of the family, nor because of being forced to do nothing, she chose all of this by herself.

So she can face all the advantages and disadvantages of this choice.

These women can't.

If the queen falls, they will be over, and they don't even know what they did wrong.

Hongshou stood in the tea room with countless tea leaves behind her. The room was filled with a strong tea fragrance. Her wrists were very thin and white. She was wearing a palace costume and wearing the most common bun, with no expression on her face. The maids around each did their own things, no one made a sound, as if they were in a tomb quietly.

The queen's palace is decent, but what is the only thing about the queen's palace?

Whoever is the emperor is decent.

People outside say that the queen is charitable, but no one has ever thought about it. If the queen is really charitable, why Li Niangniang is so popular but has not given birth?The emperor is young and strong, the dragon is fierce and fierce. There are no princes and princes in the palace. Li Niangniang is also a mature man. She has the emperor every day to ask for peace. He is the most favored, and he has a son. This is natural.

The corners of Hongsiu's mouth are smiling.

She is not afraid of the queen's cruelty and greed, but she is afraid that the queen has no desires and desires.

A person who has no desires and desires is the most terrifying person.

This person wants nothing by himself.

How can others seek what they want from her?

The more fierce she is, the more likely Red Sleeve will climb up.

Red sleeve took a deep breath.

Frozen three feet is not a day's cold, she has to continue to hibernate, slowly.
