Chapter 1279: (Updated on June 7) Slowly burn out the youth

The scenes in the previous chapter were blocked for a while, and it is estimated that they will not be released for the time being, so some of them are not connected.
Most of you have already seen it, and some of you haven't seen it.
------------
Because many show girls have to rush to the capital from a distance.
Those who are farther away have to come from remote places like Mongolia.
So, when the show girls rushed to the capital to gather, it was already the end of November.
The show girls checked into the inn in the capital and waited to enter the palace.
Some of them are the daughters of important officials.
Some are the daughters of lower officials.
But no matter what, they are all from the Eight Banners.
If not, you cannot participate.
Because of the Qing court in order to relieve the worries of the banner people's life.
Provide free daily supplies for children of banner people.
The bannerman serves as a report, and when the man grows up, he serves the country in the army.
The women entered the palace to serve their master.
This is the same as the old society who ate national food, with stable jobs and an iron rice bowl.
The oldest of these show girls is about twenty years old.
The youngest, but eleven years old.
At the beginning of December, the Ministry of Rites posted a notice in the capital, announcing that those show girls could enter the palace to participate in the show girls election.
Therefore, a group of young faces, riding their carriages, stopped at the Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City and gathered.
Due to different family backgrounds, all kinds of carriages are parked at Shenwumen.
Some homes are in good condition and ride in luxury carriages.
Almost, it was an ordinary carriage.
Almost, it was the donkey cart rented by Hua Yinzi.
But no matter what, they were sitting inside, faceless.
After the show girls arrived, the participants and leaders of their flags waited for the order.
In addition, they arranged their carriages at the door in order.
According to the order of Manchu, Mongolian, and Han.
The Xiu Women election is divided into two parts: the primary election and the secondary election.
Prior to this, those who were not up to the standard, and the disabled, had been excluded.
The primary and secondary elections are divided into three rounds.
Since the primary election is not very important, Si Ye was not present on this day.
But Ruoyin, as a queen, had to take her concubines to the front hall of the Royal Garden.
It's also an invigilator.
Early that morning, Ruoyin put on a decent auspicious dress and sat in front of the mirror to dress up.
After Grandma Liu entered the room, she whispered: "Manny, the show ladies are all at the Shenwu Gate, and the harem masters are also waiting for you outside."
Ruo said with a faint "um", "I see."
Then, she took a photo in the mirror, and after everything was decent, she helped Mother Liu's hand to walk out.
Perhaps in the eyes of those beautiful women, being able to become in-laws with the royal family is a matter of glory and glory.
Family members can grow faces in front of relatives.
But in Ruoyin's view, even if he is selected, it may not be a good thing.
"It's another year's show female election. In this deep palace, it's nothing more than the people inside want to go out, but the people outside have squeezed their heads and want to come in." She couldn't help but sigh.
In the end, he couldn't escape a dead word.
Whether it's being framed to death.
It's better to kill yourself.
Or die in the Forbidden City.
From the moment they were selected as show girls.
He couldn't leave the Forbidden City until he died.
You can only slowly burn out your youth in the deep palace walls, and you will never get married until you die.
This is a good example of being demoted as a common man Meng.
Even if he was a common man and went to Xinzheku as a slave, he could only grit his teeth and carry it on.
After hearing this, the mother Liu hurriedly said: "Manny, what are you talking nonsense, the children of the official family these days, who don't want to be the royal servants and become relatives with the royal family. Even the ordinary people don’t know how many People want to buy a small official under the banner to do it, so they can get in."
If the tone smiled lightly, he didn't say anything.
When they arrived in the hall, Qi Fei made a salute to Ruoyin.
Ruoyin waved his hand and took them to the front hall of the Royal Garden.
When he got there, Ruoyin sat in the upper seat.
Fei Qi, then sat down.
Drafting girls is a serious matter. It is not just a simple beauty pageant, but it must be screened through layers.
In the first round of the primary election alone, every one hundred people must be placed in a group and queued according to age.
The eunuchs in the respect room would check them one by one.
Not tall, short, fat and thin.
After the first round of inspection, the inspected ten items including ears, eyes, and mouth one by one.
If there is an unqualified item, it will not be required.
In the third round, the internal supervisors checked the voices of the show girls.
The internal supervisor will tell them to read their surnames, birthplaces, and ages aloud in the yard. Those who are slightly strong, weak, rough, clumsy, fast, or slow are not required.
In this way, the primaries are over.
During this period, Ruoyin and the harem concubine sat in the front hall of the Imperial Garden, drinking tea and snacks.
The general manager of the respect room will report to them from time to time.
Because they only play a supervisory role to avoid someone buying the eunuchs.
It is impossible for them to check them one by one personally, so as not to.
This kind of thing will be handled by a dedicated person in the respect room.
Of course, if the show girl really wants to buy, no matter how supervised, there will be fish that will slip through the net.
However, it is better to do so than without supervision.
In any case, we can try to avoid this situation.
After a whole morning, the primary election is drawing to a close.
Ruoyin and his concubines returned to their respective palaces for dinner.
In the afternoon, go to the front hall of the Royal Garden and continue to supervise the remaining multiple elections.
In the first round of the re-election, the internal supervisory committee of the respect room measured their hands and feet.
Don't use those with thick or thin wrists.
The toes are slightly longer or shorter, do not.
In the second round, there will be older mothers who will take the show girls to closed rooms.
At this time, Ruoyin and his concubines could not be supervised.
But they will send close minions to oversee them.
This link is nothing more than to let those showy women lose their clothes.
Then, those nuns will observe their body shape and caress their skin. If they are a little unqualified, they won't want it.
Of course, the most critical point is to check whether they are not in good condition.
If this point is not up to standard, it will definitely not be required.
More serious, it will also affect the reputation of the family and the woman, and even be punished.
After these checks were completed, it was dusk.
The rest is the most important election.
The general election is very important and requires the presence of the Fourth Master and the Queen Mother.
But now it's almost dark, so it can only be done the next day.
In the early morning of the next day, Ruoyin was the same as yesterday. She put on decent auspicious clothes and decent makeup, and went to the re-selected place: Tiyuan Hall.
When they got there, the concubines were already sitting there waiting.
"Queen auspicious!" Qi Fei saluted several times.
After sitting down in the first position, Ruo Yin said lightly: "You guys are here so early, get up."
After they got up, she saw anxiety in their faces.
Yes, looking at them one by one, it seems to be more nervous than the draft girls.
