Shangshi female official

Chapter 35 Frosted Peanuts 1
At this moment Xu Xinyan came in from the outside, brought a basin of water to her, and said with a smile, "You're awake."

Wang Yifu sat on the edge of the bed, her head was still dizzy, she hesitated for a long time, she still wanted to ask if she lost her composure last night.

"Yesterday, what happened to me?"

Although Wang Yifu asked, she was still secretly afraid that she might have said something that shouldn't be said to the two of them.

"Last night, you said a big thing."

Wang Yifu became flustered, and asked cautiously, "What did I... say?"

"You said..." Xu Xinyan leaned in front of her, opened her eyes wide, pretending to be suspicious, and whispered, "You don't eat eggplants."

Wang Yifu finally relaxed and said, "Your words are really scary."

"What are you afraid of..." Xu Xinyan lowered his eyes three times, rubbed the towel in the basin, and murmured, "Could it be...you have someone you love, but you won't tell us?"

Wang Yifu then laughed and asked, "Apart from Mr. Ruyi, your sweetheart, you actually have nothing else in your heart?"

"You... If you're not your sweetheart, what's wrong with us?"

Wang Yifu thought of her mother and what she wanted to do, then she became indifferent, and said: "Hey, since you are going to enter the palace, remember not to inquire about anything, some things are much safer not to know than to know. "

Xu Xinyan stopped rubbing the towel for her, and asked: "You said last night that you wanted to go to the palace to find your father, if I don't ask, how can I help you find it?"

"Don't worry, as long as I can enter the palace, I can find him. It's just that I have never seen his face, I don't know if he is kind or not, and I don't know if he is willing to recognize my daughter. If he is a despicable little People, what should I do if I go crazy and implicate you."

"Huh? Is there still such a father in the world?"

"Then maybe there are too many fathers in the world, who said that every father is a good father, and every father is qualified to be a father."

"...What you said makes sense, so what if your father goes crazy with you, what if..."

"I'm his daughter anyway, and Tiger Poison doesn't eat children, so he will save my life no matter what."

When Xu Xinyan heard what she said, she actually felt sad, "Efu, your background is so pitiful."

"It's not pity for me to meet you, but you can remember that I finally entered the palace, so don't tell others about these things."

"I know, I know, it's impossible to say a word to other people."

Wang Yifu took the hand towel from Xu Xinyan, wiped her face carefully, and asked, "Isn't it time for you to enter the palace these few days?"

"It will take a few days. Mother Zhou said that although I have learned some rules here, the palace is different after all. These few days teach us to recognize the yamen."

"Then let's go together later. I only knew yesterday that I'm going to enter the palace. I still don't understand anything. I'm afraid I'll make a joke."

"You are so smart, I'm afraid it's just making others laugh."

The two couldn't help laughing out loud, and after washing up, they went to the largest courtyard in Inner Jiaofang.

The sky was bright, and there were hundreds of maids who were about to enter the palace. There were futons piled up next to them, and everyone sat down on the spot after picking up a futon. Nanny Zhou urged them twice, and all the maids found a place to listen to the lecture.

"Although you are all called maids when you enter the palace, it is still different from the maids who directly enter the palace to serve people. After you have studied, those who bring art into the palace will have to fill six rounds, and you may be female historians. Don't No matter what, the internal affairs supervisor, Shangshan supervisor, Guanglu Temple and the gates of the Sixth Bureau must be clearly identified."

The girls didn't sit upright, and listened carefully with their knees hugged, and Nanny Zhou also let them go for a while, and stopped correcting their postures.

"The Internal Affairs Supervision is located on the east side of Bei'anmen Street. It is the highest institution for internal servants. It is also the busiest place for internal affairs supervision for all the big and small things in the palace, as well as the royal repairs outside the palace and offerings.

As soon as Nanny Zhou finished speaking, a court lady sitting in the front row raised her hand. Nanny Zhou raised her head to signal her to speak, and she asked, "Does the Internal Affairs Supervision Committee supervise our six bureaus?"

Nanny Zhou shook her head, "The six bureaus and one palace belong to the queen empress in the palace. It's just that our empress is young and entered the palace later, so now it is the empress Li Guifei who is in charge. But the affairs of the palace, Your Majesty is the biggest one, if the Emperor ordered the Internal Affairs Supervisor to do something, if it involves six bureaus and one palace, we also have to obey the order of the Internal Affairs Supervisor. Do you understand?"

The maids all answered, and Nanny Zhou continued to introduce: "Shangshan Supervisor is in charge of the diet of the people in the palace. Except for the Shangshi Bureau, everyone's food in the sixth bureau comes from Shangshan Supervisor. Shangshan Supervisor The place is in the palace, so all the eunuchs are cooking. When there is a big banquet in the palace, it also needs the cooperation of Shangshi Bureau and Shangbanjian to make so many things."

"Mommy, when do you usually entertain guests in the palace?"

"The banquets in the palace are also divided into big banquets, medium banquets, regular banquets, and small banquets. Generally, big banquets are only held on festivals such as Lichun and Dragon Boat Festival, and the most people are invited.

Chinese banquets are held when foreigners come to court, or when silkworms are kissed, or when they entertain married women. As the name suggests, regular banquets, the emperor or queen wants to hold a banquet in the palace when they enjoy the moon and eat crabs.The size of the small banquet is the smallest. On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor and queen gather for a banquet. "

Xu Xinyan sighed with emotion: "There are so many empresses and princes in the palace, there are quite a lot of dishes to cook here."

Wang Yifu nodded with a smile, and continued listening to the lecture, only to hear Mother Zhou say again: "Guanglu Temple belongs to the foreign government office, and the place is on the east side of the imperial palace. Food, seasoning, and vegetable gardens in the entire imperial city are all available." Guanglu Temple is in charge, and Guanglu Temple will send a fixed amount of ingredients to the palace every morning. The banquet in the palace is usually in charge of Guanglu Temple, Shangshan Supervisor and Shangshi Bureau cooperate with Guanglu Temple's arrangements."

Nanny Zhou talked for a while, then took a sip of tea, and continued: "Next is the Six Bureaus and One Division. Bureau, Bureau of Food, Bureau of Sleeping, Bureau of Shanggong, and Gong Zhengsi.

The place where I live and work is on the east side of the East Sixth Palace, and there is one more place in the Shangshi Bureau, which is the imperial dining room on the west side of Ciqing Palace. "

"The six bureaus and one division mainly serve the women in the harem and the princes and princesses. Except for food and drink, the emperor's clothes, travel etiquette, and utensils are all in charge of the emperor.

The Shang Palace Bureau guides the Zhong Palace, and also manages the records of the native places of all female historians, transfer documents, etc., and the Shang Palace Bureau also requests the female historians to travel outside.

The Bureau of Shangyi is in charge of etiquette, foreign guests meeting with ladies and rewards, offering praises for sacrifices and festivals, and records of serving concubines are all the affairs of the Bureau of Shangyi.

The Shangfu Bureau is in charge of the sewing and reorganization of the clothes, shoes and socks of the master's ladies.
