Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 451: The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels 7

Therefore, it was not difficult to teach or learn the rules. The maids probably knew this. After learning for a day or two, they let them rest or prepare for the primary election. However, they were still worried and reminded them not to cause trouble.

Three days later, it was finally time for the primary election!

Cui Xiaoxiao got up as scheduled, washed, and did her hair early. She did all these small things by herself these days and did not let Yongqiu serve her, which greatly reduced her workload.

As for the concubines in the six-person room, the palace maids sometimes didn't have time to do their hair! Sometimes they would argue about who should go first and who should go last. If there was no time, they would just do their hair themselves!

These young ladies who have never done any housework, without their personal maids around, can't do their hair up to their liking! Cui Xiaoxiao saw that many of the girls had their hair loose, and she felt that her decision to learn how to do hair up was a good one!

Cui Xiaoxiao knew that there were a lot of things to do that day, so she ate a lot in the morning and advised Gu Yingyue to eat more! She looked at the sun outside the window again, and her makeup was just a little lipstick and a simple eyebrow drawing, refreshing and simple.

The preliminary selection is to observe the girls' body shape, voice, etiquette... The last step of the preliminary selection is to go to a small room to check if the girls are healthy? Is their speech clear? Do they have body odor or bad breath? Do they have any obvious scars on their bodies? Check their chastity...!

When Cui Xiaoxiao and Gu Yingyue arrived, there were already 50 or 60 girls lined up in front of them. After checking the items one by one, when she was in line for the last item, it was almost noon!

They watched the concubines who had finished checking the last item come out of the small room. They all covered their faces with red faces and ran away quickly, and some even cried.

The ladies waiting outside were a little nervous, because everyone knew that they had to take off all their clothes. It was unimaginable for a traditional lady to be naked in front of outsiders, not to mention that she would have to go through various examinations...

While Xiu Nu was thinking, it was finally Cui Xiaoxiao's turn. She wanted to finish the examination and go to bed early! After all, under the scorching sun, although she didn't sweat or put on much makeup, she didn't want to be exposed to the sun for too long.

She followed the eunuch's instructions and walked into a room! There were three maids in the small room, one to check the body, one to check the body odor, and one to check the chastity!

Cui Xiaoxiao took out three purses from her sleeve pocket and put one in each of her hands. "Thank you for your hard work, the weather is really hot today. I'm going to treat you to a cup of cold tea."

The three of them looked at each other, touched their purses, understood, and quickly put the money into their pockets.

"Take off your clothes first!" After receiving the red envelope, the nanny's impatient expression when Cui Xiaoxiao came in instantly softened a lot.

Cui Xiaoxiao did as she was told and then began to check her body. "You are in good health, I checked it!" The nanny accepted the red envelope and thought that there was something wrong with the concubine's health, but it turned out that the concubine's health was better than that of ordinary concubines.

"Thank you, nanny!" Then she walked towards the nanny who was checking her body odor. She didn't even have any sweat odor, so she passed the test very smoothly!

The last nanny just let her lie on a simple bed, and she took a casual look at it and was notified that she had passed.

Cui Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. In her previous life, she was touched and spread open by the maids for careful inspection before she passed! The other concubines were similar to her. Was the power of the red envelope so great?

In fact, this is all the bad taste of the maids in the deep palace. They know that some of the concubines will be rich or noble in the future, and this is the only way they can take advantage of them openly. How could they let them go easily?

In fact, experienced maids can tell whether a woman is a virgin or not! The reason why they do that is to find some balance and pleasure in their hearts. So what if she is a noble lady? So what if she is rich or noble? Aren't they allowed to take advantage of her?

And these concubines also have no way to complain, after all, the nanny is just following orders! Even if they are in a high position later, they can't punish them, and they can easily be bitten back!

They are so disgusted with chastity checks, are they guilty of something? This has been the way the selections have been done for thousands of years, why can't it be done for them? ... They would rather provoke a gentleman than a villain, and that's what they are talking about.

Therefore, throughout history, concubines dared to be angry but not to speak out. If they met an emperor who attached great importance to chastity, the examination of the concubines would only become more perverted.

Cui Xiaoxiao was mentally prepared, but she didn't expect that things would turn out better than she thought, and the sixty taels of silver were not wasted. As for being naked to the maids, she said she didn't feel any pressure.

After hearing that she had passed the test, she quickly got up from the bed, put on her clothes, shoes and socks swiftly, and was about to open the door when the nanny next to her pulled her back and asked her to wait a little longer and not to show any abnormality after she went out!

Cui Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement and waited for the sound of the door opening in the next room.

The nanny then said to her, "That's enough, you can go out now!"

Cui Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and used her mental strength to make her face red. Then she opened the door and hurried away with her head down. After she walked a few steps, she could still hear the sound of the nanny laughing and discussing how smart she was!

Cui Xiaoxiao walked a long way out before she noticed that there was still a long line of showgirls behind her!

After a whole morning under the sun, the sunlight shone on the ladies, and many of them sweated and their makeup was smudged. The cosmetics of that era were not waterproof, so they could only fan themselves with handkerchiefs. The smell of sweat, rouge and powder blended together, and the smell was really unpleasant.

Cui Xiaoxiao left in a hurry amid the envious gazes of many girls queuing up!

When she returned to her room, it was just time for dinner and Gu Yingyue had been back for a while!

"Xiaoxiao, you're back! I just got back too, and I figured you'd be here soon. I asked Yongqiu to get the food. There's water there. Wash up first, and you can eat soon!"

"Okay, thank you. I'm hungry too!"

"Haha, to be honest, I haven't been this hungry in a long time. I feel like I can eat a lot. When I came back, there were still many showgirls queuing up there. Do you think they will continue to line up or will they continue after lunch in the afternoon?"

"Maybe he'll finish his lunch! Otherwise, it would be bad if you faint from hunger, Xiu Nu!"

"That's right! Even though I didn't do anything, I felt quite tired today."

Both of them avoided talking about the draft!

The meal came, and the two ate heartily, almost finishing their portions. They touched their stomachs and looked at the empty plates, both stunned for a moment, and then laughed without caring about their appearance!

The two of them supported each other and walked around in circles in the room to digest the food, otherwise they would not be able to take a nap.

"It's comfortable. This is the first time I've eaten so much. If my mother knew, she would definitely hold my ears and nag me."

"It's a blessing to be able to enjoy delicious food! Although no one in my family cares about how much I eat, my family's cooking skills are not very good. The food they cook is really not delicious. I have no appetite even if I want to eat more!"

"No wonder you're so skinny! Next time I'll post a message and invite you to my house for dinner. My pastry chef is an expert at making pastry, and everyone who's eaten here says it's delicious."

"Okay!"

At this time, more and more people came outside, and some were noisy. It turned out that the concubines came back for lunch and continued the selection in the afternoon. One of the concubines was supported back.

"What's wrong with her?" asked a concubine nearby!

"I fainted from hunger! I also seem to have a bit of heatstroke." The concubine who knew the situation answered quickly!

Cui Xiaoxiao nodded to show her understanding. That's right! In order to maintain their slim figures, these showgirls all have small stomachs. Today, they have to undergo various examinations under psychological pressure. It is easy to faint if they are exposed to the sun and dehydrated without eating enough. In addition, there are many people and the air smells bad, which makes it even easier to get heatstroke.

"You were right. Some people actually fainted from hunger. Fortunately, we finished early."

"Let's go, it's time for us to take a nap. After all, there's nothing left for us to do!"

The passing rate of the preliminary selection was as high as 95%, and only a dozen of them were eliminated among so many contestants.

After passing the preliminary selection, you still need to study the rules for more than ten days before you can participate in the re-selection. The content of this study is much more systematic than before, and it teaches you how to walk, stand, sit, lie down, how to greet, and even the rules of wearing jewelry...!

The maids will also briefly explain some palace rules, but time is more abundant, and there is only half a day for study every day!

If the daughters of powerful officials have relatives in the palace, they can also go to the ladies to talk during their breaks; they can also find familiar sisters to have a private chat; they can also use some money to borrow musical instruments, writing brushes, inkstones, and inkstones from the housekeepers or palace maids to practice their talents in preparation for the re-selection...

Of course, there are some minor quarrels, after all, where there are many women, there are many gossips. There are also some gossips, such as who is the designated concubine of a certain prince, who is the candidate for the wife of a certain high-ranking official's son... There is a lot of intrigue and deception in it.

After five or six days of the preliminary selection, several people were eliminated from the palace due to various calculations! The relationship between the familiar concubines was no longer as relaxed and comfortable as before.

Cui Xiaoxiao rarely participated in their gatherings, but she had a strong mind, and she had heard a lot of gossip these days! For example, what kind of calculations did those eliminated girls with good family backgrounds suffer? She knew it better than anyone else!

Gu Yingyue did go there a few times, but after seeing the vigilant eyes of others, she reduced the number of times she went out for small gatherings. She was also called over by a relative who had gone through so many twists and turns to chat with her.

Cui Xiaoxiao felt quite comfortable in the palace. The rules that the nanny taught her were nothing to her. She had food, drinks, snacks, and gossip to listen to. She was not bored at all and had a lot of fun!

The people in the mansion outside the palace felt as if the sky had fallen! They finally discovered that their silver, banknotes, and valuables were lost, all lost!

Cui Ningning and her fiancé had an appointment to go to see the maple leaves, and she was ready to dress up. But she found that her precious jewelry was missing, and she thought she remembered it wrong, so she went to the small warehouse to check.

As a result, the small warehouse was also empty!

She pinched her thigh hard, thinking she was dreaming, but the pain in her leg told her that this was not a dream and all her things were really lost!

She really couldn't accept that all the good things she had gained by trying to please the old lady and the Marquis in the Marquis's mansion for so many years, with sweet words and flattery, were gone.

After she came to her senses, she went to her aunt crying and told her that all her belongings were gone.

Aunt Zhuang didn't believe it at first, but she wasn't particularly worried when she found out her daughter wasn't lying. In her opinion, her daughter didn't have many good qualities, and she even felt that some things couldn't be replaced until the old ones were gone.

She also comforted her daughter, and told her that they would talk to the Marquis and ask him to make her new jewelry and clothes. She also planned to take some things from her private storehouse to help her daughter look good.

Then she found out that all her things were gone!!!

The mother and daughter searched everywhere in the house, but the places where they used to keep their treasures were now empty.

Now Aunt Zhuang is no longer calm!

She knew clearly how many good things she had. They were all the result of her hard work over the years. They were her retirement money, her son's pocket money for his marriage, and her daughter's dowry!

The mother and daughter hurriedly went to Madam Hou's yard crying! Before anyone could inform them, they hurried in.

"Aunt, my niece can't survive. You have to make the decision for me. Wuuuuuuuuu!"

"Wow, grandma, something bad has happened. Our mansion has been robbed. Please help your granddaughter. Wow, wow..."

Madam Hou was startled by the sudden action of the two. Then she felt unhappy. The older people are, the less they like their juniors to cry, especially in the early morning. There is no taboo. They are still crying and saying that she is not good. What is wrong with her?

"Why are you crying so early in the morning? What's wrong with you? Can't you just talk it out? What happened? Tell me." The old lady said with a headache!

"Aunt, I, all our things are gone, wuwuwu!"

"My monthly allowance and the things you usually give to your granddaughter are all gone! You must find that evil-hearted thief, wuwuwu!"

The old lady did not take it seriously. She just thought that these two people had taken a fancy to something in her and were afraid that she would not agree, so they did all this.

"Alright, alright, alright. There's no outsider here, just tell me what's going on! I say, Zhuang Xiwen, I have treated you and your two children well over the years! Is it necessary for you to come here crying and wailing so hard so early in the morning? Who are you doing this for?" The old lady scolded with a sullen face!

"Aunt, no, it's not me, your niece, who's here to cause trouble so early in the morning. It's all the money that we saved over the years that's really gone."

"Grandma, what my aunt said is true!"

Seeing that the old lady was still looking at them with suspicion and greed, she then told them everything that had happened that morning.

"Really?!" Why was she so unconvinced?

"It's absolutely true!" the mother and daughter said in unison.
