Chapter 651
After nightfall, martial law began to be strictly engraved in the inner city of the capital. From time to time, mule carts with long lanterns were seen slowly passing by. Without exception, the lanterns were marked with the "daughter of a certain flag, a certain assistant, and a certain person." This is the mule cart for the selection girl.
The arrangement of the mule carts of the beautiful girls is also very particular. Before departure, the order of the genius, leaders, and urging of each flag are arranged according to the order of Manchu, Mongolian and Han. At the beginning are the relatives of the concubines in the palace, followed by the women who were selected and left the signs. This time, the women who were newly selected were the women who were newly selected and sent this time, and they were arranged in sequence according to their ages. They were escorted by soldiers from each flag in front, back, and left and right. The entire convoy was in order in order, without any confusion.
According to the rules, the convoy of Xiuniao Mule Carriages of each flag must enter the Di'anmen at night, wait at Shenwu Gate, and wait until the Shenwu Gate Palace Gate is opened before getting off the car. Under the guidance of the eunuch in the palace, enter Shunzhen Gate in order.
Shunzhen Gate is located at the north end of Neiting Middle Road, which is the north gate of the Imperial Garden. It is an important passage from the inner court to Shenwu Gate. It is forbidden to open for no reason. It is the place where the female relatives of the harem are ordered to meet relatives. Shunzhen Gate is three glass doors, each with double-fan solid couch doors. Outside the door is Beiheng Street, opposite Shenwu Gate, and facing Chengguang Gate to the south inside the door. There is an east-west glass door on the left and right, called Yanhe Gate, Jifu Gate. These three doors are connected by a low wall on the glass roof, and enclosing a large courtyard in front of Shunzhen Gate.
Before dawn, the palace gate slowly opened. The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately sorted out the girls of each flag in the order of the three flags and the five flags under the upper and lower levels. Then, under the guidance of the eunuch, entered the Shenwu Gate in turn, passed through the door hole, and came to Shunzhen Gate to wait for selection.
Shunzhen Gate was very cautious at this time, and there were guards standing around waiting for him like wooden stakes. Although the eunuchs were busy and busy, they were brisk and did not smell phlegm and cough. Sometimes they talked, and they whispered. After the girls came in, they saw this situation. They didn't even dare to speak out, let alone whispering and whispering.
It was dawn, and several eunuchs in charge of the talent show came slowly under the hush of the small eunuchs. The talent show officially began. With the assistance of officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the girls were quickly divided into five groups. A small eunuch led to the eunuchs in front of the eunuchs in line with each other, and the eunuchs in detail were examined by the eunuchs in detail.
When the ill, disabled, ugly and unsightly beautiful women start to register, each flag will be guaranteed layer by layer and declare the reasons. The Ministry of Revenue will consult the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue will report the obligation to choose after obtaining permission. Therefore, the illusion who can stand in front of the eunuch will not affect the appetite and mood.
The eunuchs who are instructed to read are all experienced people and are familiar with choosing girls. After a little examination, they can make decisions quickly. Of course, they have already memorized everything they have done. Moreover, the eunuchs who are responsible for leading the leadership and the Ministry of Revenue, and the officials of the Ministry of Revenue Department of the Internal Affairs Office also take special care of the girls they have done. If there are five girls in a team of people who have done the training, they will most likely have to hint in advance to avoid making mistakes in guiding the eunuchs.
Soon, there were shouts of "Leave a sign and leave a sign" in front of Shunzhen Gate. The so-called "Leave a sign" means that each girl has passed the primary election. Each girl has a small sign on her body. It says the specific situation of the girl, a certain banner, Manchuria, Mongolian, Han army, daughter of a certain official, age, etc. If you leave the sign, you will naturally lose the election and you can get married by yourself when you go home.
Zhao Mengtong, who had the Han army flag inlaid with the blue flag, quickly followed the team to the front of Shunzhen Gate. Looking at the busy selection scene in front of her, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She knew very well that her father Zhao Can was just a pen-tip from the Ministry of Revenue and was not able to provide her with the ability to make arrangements for her. Whether she could enter the palace through the selection depends entirely on her own strength and luck.
She turned her head slightly and looked at the other girls in the queue. She found that the girls beside her were also nervous, which made her feel much more at ease. It seemed that the majority of those who had not taken care of were still. With her talent and appearance, I believe that through the eunuch's head wheel selection, I still have a lot of confidence.
However, after just a while, she became nervous because she found that there were quite a few beautiful girls who were thrown out of the sign, including those with beautiful appearances. Often, in a group of five people, most of whom were thrown out of the sign, which made her feel nervous immediately.
Zhao Mengtong was well-behaved since childhood. She knew that her father had high hopes for her and was counting on the favor of the emperor who could enter the palace to change the status quo of the family. She was not disgusted with entering the palace. The daughters of the Banners knew since childhood that they were all the emperor's people, which was the glory of the Eight Banners women.
The emperor is in his prime, not only full of legend, but his harem is also very empty. This time, the selection of the women of the Eight Banners age is a rare opportunity for decades. I wonder how many of the Eight Banners girls are eager to be selected into the palace and gain a future for their family and themselves.
At this moment, a showgirl next to her gently pulled her sleeve, then raised her chin slightly to the front, Zhao Mengtong looked in the direction, but saw a showgirl who was elegant and refined and had no less appearance than her, walking slowly to the eunuch led by the little eunuch, and she couldn't help but be nervous and stared at her tightly.
The beautiful girl who was staring at by Zhao Mengtong was Zhou Roujia, the daughter of the Tongzheng envoy Zhou Daoxin. At this time, Zhou Roujia was also quite nervous. Although his father was a third-rank official, he was not considered a high-ranking official among the Eight Banners. However, she was still very confident about her appearance. She did not know that her father had already managed to get the eunuch, and intended to let her lose the election.
Under the gaze of the eunuch who was scrutinized by the eunuch, it seemed that half an hour had passed. Finally, the eunuch began to name the list. When Zhou Roujia, the daughter of Zhou Daoxin, the eunuch who was the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch who was
Putting the sign? Zhou Roujia couldn't believe her ears. She was actually beaten in the first round of selection? Did she get it wrong? She hesitantly looked up at the eunuch Yinyue, but the eunuch Yinyue looked solemn, and she didn't even look at her, and shouted in a deep voice: "Next."
Zhou Roujia then realized that she was indeed beaten, and she felt very uneasy. Their two girls with the brand left in the same brand could not be compared with her. What is the choice? However, she did not dare to fight and followed the girls numbly and turned around and retreated.
Zhao Mengtong was also shocked when she saw Zhou Roujia being thrown out of the sign. She had such an outstanding appearance and was thrown out of the sign in the primary election. What was going on? What would be the result of waiting for her? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sank. It seemed that this primary election was far more difficult than she imagined in her heart.
