Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

Although Su Tong hated parents who sold their children the most, they did not sell their children for money. They did so mainly because they could not survive. But also because they were women, they were the first to sacrifice themselves after the disaster.

Su Tong lowered his head, tacitly agreeing to this matter. No matter what, let's take it one step at a time. Su Tong wanted to support them, but he was afraid that they were vampires.

Even though Wang Daya was reluctant to part with her daughter, she had to consider the whole family, so she gave her daughter to the boy.

Before leaving, he handed his daughter a small wooden sculpture and said, "This was made for me by your grandfather when I was little. It's not made of precious wood. You can keep it as a souvenir. There were originally two pieces. The larger one was given to your second sister, and now this one is for you."

Su Tong sighed in his heart, then grabbed the other person's hand and said, "God is blind. If you want to survive, store more food at home. I guess the days ahead will be even harder.

In the future, be more careful. My sister is grown up now. For my sake and that of my second sister who was sold, find him a good family. We don’t ask for a wealthy family, but he must be honest and loyal.”

Wang Daya nodded with tears on her face. As she watched her daughter's carriage go further and further away, Wang Daya could no longer hold back. She ran after her daughter and shouted, "My daughter, you must live. Don't blame me. Don't be reborn into my family in your next life."

Su Tong watched the other person fall to the ground, and his eyes became red, but this is how it is in troubled times, human life is as worthless as grass.

The man did keep his promise and sold Su Tong directly to the palace. It was impossible for newly bought little girls like them to enter the palace directly. The main reason was that they were afraid of carrying some infectious diseases, which would be bad if they infected the nobles in the palace.

They were first locked up in the farm, and then after being hungry for a day, the doctor took their pulses. Those who were not feeling well had part of their pulses brushed off, and then started washing their hair and taking a bath. Finally, the plugs on their heads were removed, but of course they were not removed with medicine, but all had their heads shaved bald.

When the other beauty-loving girls saw their bald appearance, they burst into tears.

After hearing the crying, the nanny came out angrily and said, "Why are you crying? You must remember that crying is the most taboo thing in the palace. Even if you encounter a big problem, you must put on a smile in front of the master.

Remember this clearly. If anyone dares to cry or nag again, don’t blame me for not reminding them. At the very least, they will be beaten with dozens of sticks, and at the worst, they will lose their lives.”

As soon as the words fell, the girls were so frightened that they dared not cry anymore. Little girls like them had to follow the nanny to learn the rules. After half a year, those who met the rules would be assigned to the palace, and those who did not would be assigned to the imperial farm below.

Although the work in the imperial farm is leisurely, it is endless. More importantly, if you don’t have any connections, you will be suppressed all your life.

Because Su Tong had an adult in his heart, he learned the rules very well, and even the nanny looked at him several times.

"You seem to be a well-behaved person. I heard you can read?"

Su Tong didn't dare to say carelessly that he could read, or even be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He probably would be dragged away and beheaded the moment he said it.

The little country girl did recognize a few words, but Su Tong explained that her brother was studying, so she learned a few words from him.

"You're quite clever, actually learning from them." The nanny nodded. "But cleverness is the most taboo thing in this palace, especially not being too clever. Do you understand what I mean?"

Su Tong immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, you are worrying too much. I am just a little girl. Even if I turn the world upside down, I will only be a little palace maid in this life."

The nanny touched Su Tong's face and said, "That's not necessarily true. Some people...it depends on luck, but being a palace maid does require one to be dutiful and sensible."

Su Tong was well-behaved and didn't say a word. Her original owner in the previous life was also very smart, but perhaps because she was too smart, she was directly exiled to a remote place by the nanny. If she hadn't accidentally gained the appreciation of the old nanny in the palace, she would probably have been a maid in the cold palace in this life.

Su Tong's life was very successful because he could recognize a few words and was eloquent, so he was directly taught by the nanny.

Half a year later, these little girls had grown up and their previously shaved hair had grown back. Perhaps because they were well fed and warmly clothed, their faces showed a bit more joy.

When the eunuch came to ask for people, the nanny sent up more than 20 trained palace maids. Among them, there were a few who really didn't know the rules and were stupid, so they were left to work on the farm. But those who had no direct relationship like this were probably destined to do hard work in the future.

I don't know what the nanny said, but the eunuch looked at me twice. In fact, the palace maids and eunuchs under me, who seemed to be powerful, would train some smart maids. On the one hand, they were short of people to serve them, and on the other hand, they wanted to see if there were any lucky maids among them. If they were favored by a master, they could also get some benefits.

Su Tong was assigned to Empress Dowager Cixi, the current emperor's biological mother, while she herself was just a little girl who boiled water in the tea room.

Su Tong's starting point in this life is much higher than his previous life. At least the starting point of this life is in the empress dowager's palace. The empress dowager is the winner of this palace fight. Although she is not the biological mother of the current emperor, due to filial piety, as long as the old lady does not cause trouble, she will have a lifetime of wealth and glory. Of course, this is also a good place for retirement.

Su Tong also knew that when she first entered the palace, there must be someone observing her in secret, so she was very honest, like a turtle hiding in her shell, staying in a fixed place every day. It was not until a year later that she was able to boil water independently.

"Today's water has a unique flavor?" The Queen Mother would rinse her mouth with a glass of water every day when she woke up, but today's water was a little different. The temperature was just right, but it also had a refreshing floral fragrance when it entered her mouth.

Chun Yi, the senior palace maid serving water, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I can't hide anything from you. The crabapple blossoms bloomed yesterday, and the girl in the tea room came up with the idea of using the flowers to fumigate the water.

First, place the copper kettle with boiling water on the stove, open the lid and place a white cloth on top, then add some flower petals. When the water boils, the fragrance will slowly dissipate into the water through the flower pot.

Empress Dowager Ci'an was also an elegant person in her youth. When she heard this idea, she immediately laughed and said, "This is quite a coincidence and has a certain charm. The next time the emperor comes here, you should also serve him a pot of tea, but use orchids."

The current emperor's favorite is the orchid "Konggu Orchid", but the best orchid costs at least a hundred taels of silver. The orchids in the palace are offered from various places and are worth thousands of gold.

But now, just for a glass of water, the flower bud was pinched off. Although the orchid is still alive, the price has been greatly reduced. But this does not matter to the royal family at all, as long as the master is happy.
