girl strategy

Chapter 125 Facing fate, the draft begins!
On this day, in the early summer of the 18th year of the Great Jin Dynasty Yongping, on May [-]th, it was the beginning of the draft.

In the early morning, the color of the square is slightly bright, and there is a lot of noise in the Shuixie Pavilion.

Danqing was holding the copper basin in both hands, and Milu was holding the fragrant wood jewelry box, the two entered the inner room one after the other.

Putting down the copper basin, Danqing came to the bed, stretched out his hand to lift the veiled curtain, bent down to look at the sleeping Luo Chuchen, and whispered softly, "Girl, wake up, it's getting late! !"

"Oh!" Luo Chuchen was woken up, opened his eyes in a daze, turned over, stretched out his hand to block the sunlight coming in, and murmured: "I've been sleeping for a quarter of an hour, let me sleep for a quarter of an hour..." Said He said, turned his back to the bed, and was about to sleep again!
"Girl, don't sleep, why are you still sleeping!! Don't you see what time it is!" Dan Qing twitched the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand to push Luo Chuchen, saw that she didn't respond, and kept hiding inside, I couldn't help being angry, and lifted her quilt, "Girl, hurry up, Xi Fanghua and Tao Ranxuan next door lit the lights an hour ago, and it's just you, sleep until dawn .”

"Hurry up, get up quickly, or... Mother Fang will come later, and I may not know how to bother you!!" Dan Qing grabbed Luo Chuchen's quilt and threatened: "Girl, hurry up!" Ah!! How about I call Nanny Fang!!"

"Okay, okay, don't yell, don't yell, can I get up now?" Luo Chuchen waved his hands angrily, turned over to get up, changed his pajamas, and finished washing, then sat down at the Eight Immortals table, waiting to find Dew set meal.

"Girl, the kitchen said that since the primary election for the palace is about to take place today, I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to eat too much, so I gave some snacks and cakes, even the vegetables were stir-fried, and there was no soup at all." See Luo Chu After the dust was cleaned up, Mi Lu hurriedly set the table with the servant girl, complaining as she set the table, pointing to the six dishes on the table, "Look, it's all done like this, how can you eat it!"

"It's time for a talent show. When you enter the palace, every house is like this. I'm afraid something will go wrong. Just bear with it!" Luo Chuchen comforted with a smile, and then waved his hand: "Danqing, don't worry about Milu, let's all go together Let's eat, we have to go to the old lady's place later!"

"Don't, don't, girl, I don't dare to sit with you anymore, I'm afraid Nanny Fang won't scold you!" Milu waved her hands again and again, her face full of fear.

"This... oh, I'm going to enter the palace now, no matter whether I get selected or not, I have to say that I won't see you for more than a month! Why do I have to be in charge of even having a meal..." Luo Chuchen Frowning, said pitifully.But when he looked up, he saw the hesitant and fearful expressions of Danqing and Milu, and he was directly discouraged, "Forget it, forget it, Mother Fang has been holding back to trouble me since she came here. It's the last day, so don't let her catch it, forget it, I'll eat it myself."

After all, regardless of Danqing Milu's guilt and reluctance, she picked up the plum cake and ate it with stir-fried Hu slices.

Because the draft is about to be drafted, there are four girls in the Anling Marquis Mansion who are going to participate in the election, the number is quite a lot, and there are newcomers like Luo Chuchen who don't know anything... and Luo Chufen. It needs to be reheated.Luo Jinwen specially ordered Mrs. Xu to invite some nuns to return to the mansion to teach the girls how to behave.

Of course, with the family status of the Marquis of Anling, the girls are usually accompanied by nuns and nuns—except for Luo Chuchen, of course.It's just because my mother used to take care of this kind of back house.And Pei's relationship with her... It's not right to say that it's bad, it should be very bad.

Mrs. Luo was getting old, and she didn't care about family affairs for many years, and she didn't think about matching her beloved granddaughter with a nanny, so she kept making mistakes.It's just that the draft is going to be held this time, and the nanny assigned by the family is obviously not a big deal... The Xu family specially asked Princess Shuhui to help, and asked for someone from the princess who has taken care of Princess Shuhui for more than 20 years. Princess Shuhui's biological mother, Concubine Lin, once served...

Not the princess nurse, but the nurse in charge who is better than the nurse—Fang Shi.

Nanny Fang was in her early 50s, her face was like an iceberg, her hair was combed neatly, she didn't even move the corners of her skirt when she moved and walked, her back was straight, her eyes were like torches, and she looked not to be trifled with.

In fact, people are really not easy to mess with.

Don't look at her as just a nanny, who came from serving people.But beside the princess, she still holds an official position. From the perspective of a sixth-rank female official, she is really older than Luo Jinzhang! !

All the girls in the mansion were afraid of her.

Especially Luo Chuchen! !
You know, no matter in the previous life or in the present life, the rules of conduct...Luo Chuchen has never learned it at all.In her previous life, she had been locked in a small courtyard, not to mention the rules, and she didn't even know much about human affairs.When I grew up, I tried every means to get out, and I also took care of survival.Even if he gained a firm foothold later, the one who opened his eyes and was busy every day was still intriguing.He behaves well, speaks and behaves like that, but he learns indiscriminately, just trying not to embarrass himself.

In this life, let alone, growing up in Wan Lanchun's small courtyard, he may not even be able to abide by the morning and evening waking hours every day, and there are only a few people who talk while eating... You can know from this behavior, What are the rules?

Therefore, since Nanny Fang brought 'A Way of Smoke and Dust' into the mansion, Luo Chuchen could be regarded as a bloody bad luck.On the first day, let people pick people who are not human, not as good as Luo Chufen. Although she has a bad temper, she has learned the rules and behaviors since she was a child, and they are deeply rooted in her bones. Invite the nanny to come, just to strengthen it. Unlike Luo Chuchen, he had to learn from scratch.

This study is very painful!They have been slowly cultivating the things carved into their bones for more than ten years, and Nanny Fang asked Luo Chuchen to finish learning them within three months... How is this possible, she is so abused! !

For the past three months, Luo Chuchen even dreamed of walking back and forth with a book on his head, and he had to not shake his shoulders or his back! !Eat an egg and peel off the skin, you can't damage a little protein, and the peeled shell can't be beautiful! !
If the egg white is damaged or it is not beautiful, you have to eat the whole egg by yourself! !
Luo Chuchen was terrified, now whenever he sees an egg, his whole stomach trembles! !

Moreover, not only Luo Chuchen, but Danqing and Milu, as her personal maids, are the key objects of 'care'.In particular, their status is still low, no more than Luo Chuchen, they are girls after all.Nanny Fang has to be 'scrupulous' no matter what, and doesn't dare to go too far.

But for Danqing and Milu, Nanny Fang was much more 'relaxed'. If Luo Chuchen hadn't blocked him, she would have been able to fight directly.It's just...even if Luo Chuchen stopped her very hard, the small bamboo board in Nanny Fang's hand greeted Danqing and Milu, and even demoted them to the dust. , talking and talking, there is simply no good place.

This...Luo Chuchen can understand. After all, Danqing and Milu were not slaves, but they were just fleeing from famine. Wan Lanchun never taught them how to be slaves. When they were in the small courtyard, they said they were servants, but in fact Similar to my own nephew, it is said to serve the girl... In fact, it is just to play with.

Later, once they entered the Anling Marquis Mansion, Luo Chuchen didn't care about them much... Where was the bond they had grown up with since childhood?

Moreover, Danqing and Milu have long been used to taking care of girls as younger sisters, and Luo Chuchen is also reluctant to let them be like ordinary servants under their control, and dare not even breathe in front of the master.

It's a pity that Luo Chuchen was willing to indulge them, but Nanny Fang was not polite. On the first day in Shuixie Pavilion, she took Danqing and Milu to kill chickens and respect monkeys, and made Shuixie Pavilion a little maid, scaring her All of them had yellow faces and weak legs and feet.

"Oh, I don't know why, Mother Fang just loves to trouble our Shuixie Pavilion! The people around, no matter how disobedient the fifth girl is, or how the sixth girl is not talkative, she doesn't care, she just grabs us. Mistakes are endless." Milu stood beside the dressing table, picking up the jewelry that her girl was going to wear for a while, and complaining in a low voice.

"It's no wonder that it's our fault. After listening to Nanny Fang's words, I realized that there are so many rules to learn to be a slave..." Dan Qing answered the conversation over there, and she knew how to reflect on herself , obviously feeling uncomfortable, but she wanted to speak for Nanny Fang.

He was afraid of causing trouble to his daughter.

"Hehe, you love to trouble us because we are ignorant..." Luo Chuchen muttered to himself and smiled softly.

In other words, Nanny Fang really likes to make trouble for her. It has only been three months since she came, and Luo Chuchen has been scolded by her almost every day, but any girl who is weak or small-minded, I am afraid that she will break down by her scolding , I must be terrified of the draft.

Luo Chuchen couldn't figure out why Nanny Fang did this at first, but after careful observation and pondering, he finally understood.The four girls from the Luo family - in terms of status and fame, the top one is of course Dafang's "the most talented girl in the capital" Luo Chuwei.But without humility, despite everything else, Luo Chuchen is the most beautiful in terms of appearance.

As for the standard of the royal draft, it is not a lie to say that it is a selection of virtues and talents. To be honest, the selection is nothing more than family background and appearance.And those with bad family background and good looks will also have good marriage and good results.

To be honest, Luo Chuwei's appearance is not ugly, but if you talk about how attractive and stunning...that's completely nonsense, it's nothing more than an average appearance.Compared with the other three girls from the Luo family who participated in the election together - Luo Chuchen, Luo Chufen, and Luo Chujing, she was considered the worst.

Luo Chufen is petite and cute, Luo Chujing is cool and reserved, not to mention Luo Chuchen, she is absolutely beautiful!Only Luo Chuwei, who was nothing special, could only be described as handsome, was able to stand beside the three younger sisters without running away because of the support of the scent of books.

Of course, except for Luo Chuchen, Luo Chufen and Luo Chujing are slightly stronger than Luo Chuwei, and the difference is not big.Wouldn't it be like standing with Luo Chuchen and being completely compared to the ditch.

Luo Chuwei has great expectations for the draft, which Luo Chuchen can see from the way he talks and behaves when learning the rules from Nanny Fang.With her as a formidable enemy, Luo Chuwei was restless and always wanted to make some small moves. This...Luo Chuchen didn't understand.When Nanny Fang first arrived, her attitude towards her was acceptable for the first few days, at least she had some face.Why did her attitude suddenly change after studying for ten days, expressing her admiration for her appearance several times, and meeting Xu Shi again?
In this world, who is blind and deaf?Do you really think she doesn't understand?It's nothing more than seeing her dominating Luo Chuwei in terms of appearance, so she wants to learn the rules and be strict and cold to destroy her self-confidence, so that she won't steal Luo Chuwei's limelight during the draft! !

Even, when learning the rules, Luo Chuwei even picked on Luo Chufen, trying to get her to trouble her, but somehow, Luo Chufen suddenly learned to be smart, and only learned the rules with a dull head, not caring about other things.Luo Chuwei's suggestive words, if it were normal, Luo Chufen would have jumped up a long time ago, but now it seems that she didn't hear it...

Only Mrs. Pei occasionally came to watch them learn the 'rules', and when Luo Chuwei and Luo Chufen were 'talking', they smiled and listened.

Regarding this, Luo Chuchen could only say:

——Hehe, no one is a fool these days!
Even people who used to be stupid have to learn the lesson and learn to be 'smarter' slowly.

Even if you are not smart, you must know how to shut up.

"Hey, Nanny Fang is willing to teach us out of good intentions. Even if she says it harshly, it is always for our own good. She is a nanny in the palace. She has great abilities. I heard that she still has an official position. Milu you Stop complaining all the time, and be careful not to teach you when people get angry!"

Listening to Milu muttering about how bad Nanny Fang is, Danqing couldn't help frowning and taught, "How important is the girl's talent show, it's your turn to talk too much!"

"Uh... got it, I just don't say anything!" Mi Lu whispered, still dissatisfied in her heart, but she was used to being controlled by Dan Qing since she was a child, and after being scolded, she really didn't dare to say anything.

Looking at the two maids beside him who were bickering and fighting happily, Luo Chuchen was really speechless!By the way, it's really stupid to be by her side... Nanny Fang was so obvious to find fault, she didn't even notice it, and she still thanked...Damn, what are you grateful for, what is there to be grateful for?Thank you for beating her too hard, is it too obvious?

You know, Nanny Fang is an old nanny who has been in the palace for many years. She can serve the princess by her side and even get an official position. That is not a simple person at all.Even if they suppress people, they should not be so obvious. They are completely undisguised... It's just that they don't think highly of Luo Chuchen, think that she can't get ahead, and it's impossible to get mixed up to the point of being able to do anything to her in this life. That's why they are unscrupulous... …

For this, the current Luo Chuchen couldn't refute, and could only silently say in his heart: You wait, one day...

Several people ate while talking, and soon the breakfast was used up.Danqing and Milu waited on Luo Chuchen to wash and dress up, put on new clothes, and put on the whole set of emerald jade hair mask given by Mrs. Luo.Afterwards, the group went to Chunhui Courtyard to meet Mrs. Luo.

Of course, there are also Luo Chuwei who cherishes Fanghua and Luo Chujing who is Tao Ranxuan.

The three sisters walked together, and met Luo Chufen again on the way.After coming all the way to Chunhui Courtyard, I found that Mrs. Luo had already woken up.The wives also had smiles all over their faces, and they came to Chunhui Courtyard early to wait for them.

"Granddaughters pay respects to grandma." When they entered the door, the four girls knelt down at the same time.

"Good children, get up quickly." Mrs. Luo got up quickly, helped up a few granddaughters with her own hands, and said emotionally: "Today is the day when you are going to be drafted, and grandma will see you off. We don't need you to be rich and unparalleled at home. As the lord, I just want to be safe and sound, go and come back early!" Facing several beautiful granddaughters, she sincerely urged like this.

"Don't worry, grandma, save the granddaughters." The four of them answered in unison.

After saying a few words in Chunhui Courtyard, several girls went to find their own mothers, and Wo'er bid farewell to his mother in a small corner, reluctant to leave.Only Luo Chuchen sat alone at the top, so distressed that Mrs. Luo was so distressed that he hugged her in his arms and shouted, "baby, meat".

But, no matter how reluctant you are, when the time comes, you have to go.At the beginning of Sishi (nine o'clock in the morning), Luo Jinwen personally asked for leave and went back to the mansion, and pulled Luo Chuchen and four other girls out of the Anlinghou mansion in a carriage.

—Running to the palace that will determine their future destiny! !
……

Sitting in the carriage, looking at Luo Chuwei who pretended to be calm, Luo Chujing who looked down silently, and Luo Chufen who bit her lip with tears in her eyes... Luo Chuchen tightened her cuffs.

There, there was a letter sent by Baiyu the day before yesterday, which was written by Shen Cangyu, the content was not much, only eight words - 'everything is going well, please be patient'.

On weekdays, Luo Chuchen and Shen Cangyu had a lot of correspondence, but the letters they had received in the past were all burned by Luo Chuchen who was worried that people would find out. She held this letter in her hand and pondered for a long time. In the end, he was unwilling to burn it.

Looking up at the window, Luo Chuchen took a deep breath as he looked at the lush greenery. He held the letter in his cuff tightly, and stared firmly at the palace not far away, which gradually revealed its outline.

——She will face her own destiny, and believe that it must be happy and bright, and she has absolute confidence in this.
