Chapter 885 The Best Family 12
The emperor could usually find the person he wanted in the first few plates. It was impossible for him to not find the person he wanted and then turn over the last plate. In other words, the names on the last plate had almost no hope of serving the emperor. This was the treatment that people who didn't pay would receive.

If the emperor cannot flip the card, it is difficult for her to visit him, unless the emperor likes her, then he will directly find someone without flipping the card.

Yes, generally speaking, when the emperor is looking for concubines in his harem, he will directly look for whoever he wants. Only when he is tired of them all and wants to change his taste will he flip the cards. And then, it is the opportunity for those concubines who are not favored.

Han Gengyi used two taels of money to honor Concubine Liu, and used the rest to take care of the eunuchs and palace maids' food, clothing, housing and transportation. How could he have any extra money to give to the eunuchs?

As far as Linlang knew, these eunuchs charged money. Only if you gave 100 taels would they put your prize on the plate of the chief eunuch. If you gave less, it would be placed on the plates of the following eunuchs. If you gave nothing, it would be placed at the back. The possibility of the emperor turning over the plate at the back was very small, so the person at the back had no chance of being drawn.

In other words, unless Han Gengyi gave money to the eunuchs, her brand would always be in the plate of the eunuch at the back, and she would have no chance of winning.

Not to mention the fact that if Han Gengyi had not paid, she might not have been favored by the emperor, but time passed quickly. As the Mid-Autumn Festival in August was approaching, Linlang once again found the female official beside the empress dowager and gave her two hundred taels. The other party promoted her position from Gengyi to an eighth-rank palace maid in the empress dowager's promotion of low-ranking concubines in batches before the festival.

Why would Linlang spend 200 taels to buy a rank from the female official when she could just put it on the front tray by giving the chief eunuch 100 taels? The reason is very simple - as a newcomer, Linlang will eventually be visited by the emperor once, so she doesn't need to spend money for the time being since she hasn't been visited yet.

It would be a pity to use up this chance of free emperor's favor now. Naturally, it should be used for the next upgrade. In that way, I can be favored by the emperor once without having to pay money to the chief eunuch. Then I can use the dream talisman to ensure that I can be promoted to the next level. This way, I can save the five hundred taels I need to spend on the empress dowager's maid. How great is that.

The Sun family's eldest wife, who had received another promotion gift, was all numb, thinking that her daughter was doing well in the palace, right? She officially entered the palace in April, and now it's August, a total of four months, and she has been promoted twice. Isn't this amazing?

With six hundred taels of silver, their lives in the capital became better and better.

On the contrary, the people in the second house were not in such a good mood when they heard such news before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After the people from the first wife's house came to celebrate the festival and announce the good news, Madam Sun Er could no longer bear it and said to Master Sun Er, "We should find a chance to ask the palace about the situation of Linlang, the first wife."

Sun Linyun on the side also urged Master Sun Er to quickly find someone to find out the situation in the palace. You know, after she came, she indiscriminately attacked the people of the first house, calling them paupers, despicable people, vampires, shameless people, and told them to get out. She had a very unpleasant experience with the people of the first house, especially Sun Linlang - this was also the reason why the original body wanted to enter the palace to slap the people of the second house, because at that time she was irritated by Sun Linyun's words that looked down on her - so naturally she didn't want to see Sun Linlang doing well at this moment, lest Sun Linlang look down on her in the future.

Last Dragon Boat Festival, after Linlang was promoted, they were worried that she would get better and better, so they said they wanted to find out about it. Later, because they needed money to help Master Sun Er get an official position, they were reluctant to send the money to the palace, so they never asked about it. But now it is different. Linlang has been promoted again, and they have to find out about it. After all, at this rate of promotion, if it continues like this, it won't be long before she can become a high-ranking concubine. Then she will have the possibility of blowing the emperor's pillow wind. In that case, if their family wants to climb up in the future, if she says something in front of the emperor and the emperor thinks that their family is not good, it will be troublesome.

Besides, they don’t want to hear unpleasant news every time a holiday comes, which would ruin their mood. So they want to find out the situation. They know that the next holiday will be New Year’s Day, and they really don’t want to be in a bad mood during the New Year.

After figuring out Linlang's situation in the palace, the next step would naturally be to prevent Linlang from being promoted, so as not to cause trouble for them.

Although Sun Linyun said that the eldest wife was a vampire, the worst kind, both Master Sun Er and Madam Sun Er understood that in fact their family was the vampire and the worst kind. After all, they had been raised by others for thirty years with great effort, but they couldn't accept it in just three months and sent them away. No matter where they talked about it, others would say that they were ungrateful and ungrateful.

What's more, they took out all the money they could earn to support them, but they only supported the first wife, and even that was just a little bit of food and drink that was insignificant to them, not all the money they could earn. Yet they were unwilling to do that. They were so ungrateful that it was rare in the world. As long as this matter spread in Beijing, the first wife would not have to say anything. People with eyes would know who was the best. They only bullied the country people who didn't understand these things, so they despised the first wife and separated from her. In fact, they knew everything in their hearts.

Therefore, they could not let Linlang climb up, because once Linlang climbed up, as her relatives, their actions would inevitably be dug up by people in Beijing. Then, who would associate with such ungrateful people like them? After all, they could even drive away their brother who had supported them for thirty years, so other people would be even less worth mentioning and would not be nice to them.

Master Sun Er also realized this situation, so he listened to Madam Sun Er's words and said, "I will try to find a way."

It would be best to find a way to get information without spending too much money.

He hoped that in his circle of contacts, he could get to know one or two people whose families were in the palace, even if they were eunuchs or palace maids at the lowest level. At least they were in the palace, and he could ask them to inquire about Sun Linlang's situation. They should be able to find out more or less.

At that moment, Master Sun Er decided to find a way to ask which family around here had someone in the palace.

In fact, they had thought about brainwashing Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun last time, saying that the first wife was doing so well now and should respect them. They wanted the old couple to ask the first wife for money, and then they would cry poor in front of the old couple and ask them to give them the money. In this way, they could continue to suck the blood of the first wife and make it impossible for the first wife to save the money even if she made money through Linlang.

In the past, the old couple might indeed ask the eldest wife for money to subsidize the second wife, because they heard that the second wife had no money - the second wife always pretended to be poor in front of the old couple - and they felt sorry for them, so naturally they wanted the wealthy eldest wife to help the second wife.

It is normal for the old couple to think this way, because they have always let the eldest wife help the second wife all their lives.
