Chapter 911 The Best Family 38
Master Sun Er has more than one child, so naturally he has more than one daughter, Sun Linyun. Now Master Sun Er has passed the imperial examination and become an official in Beijing. He has also taken a concubine, who has a child.

Therefore, Master Sun Er is not short of children. If he really wants to send someone into the palace, even if the concubine's child is just born, he still has other daughters who have grown up. So Sun Linyun advised him like this at this time.

Otherwise, why do people say that Sun Linyun is vicious and bad? She is afraid that entering the palace will ruin her life, so she is not afraid that letting others enter the palace will ruin their lives. She goes to harm others and wants to push her sisters into the fire pit.

After listening to this, Master Sun Er thought about it and decided that it was true. Even if the eldest daughter was not eighteen years old in two years, she was still very old among the concubines, which was indeed not a good idea. It would be better to let the other daughters enter the palace. It just so happened that they would be thirteen years old in two years, which would meet the age for the selection. It was indeed better to be younger.

So he immediately asked Madam Sun Er to stop looking for a husband for Sun Linyun.

In fact, Sun Linyun is only one year younger than her original self. She is considered quite old among the noble ladies. You should know that noble ladies in Beijing are usually engaged at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Sun Linyun is fifteen or sixteen years old now, but she is not engaged yet. There must be a reason for this.

However, after Master Sun Er passed the imperial examination, all the marriage plans that the family had been discussing stopped immediately. This was because passing the examination to become a scholar was still a long way from becoming a Jinshi, but passing the imperial examination meant jumping up a social ladder, and in the future, at least one would be a gentry, and even a minor official. At the very least, one would be from a family of officials, and the marriage plans that had been planned for the children before were no longer good enough.

Therefore, not only Sun Linyun, but even the marriage of Master Sun Er's son was put on hold. They all planned to wait and see how Master Sun Er did in the imperial examination the following spring. If he passed the examination and became a Jinshi, they would go to the capital and slowly choose a candidate; if he failed the examination but passed the examination and became a Juren, he would be able to choose a better family in the county.

Needless to say, Mr. Sun Er was very lucky. He passed the imperial examination the following year and became an official in Beijing.

Therefore, the marriages of the people in the second house were not discussed for the time being. They would be chosen slowly after they had established a firm foothold in the capital.

Fortunately, both Sun Linyun and Master Sun Er's son are not particularly old. Although the young men and women in the capital get engaged early, there are also upstarts like Master Sun Er whose children, like his family, are not engaged yet, so they can still find suitable marriages. After all, there are too many rich and powerful people in the capital, resulting in the second wife's children having a much wider range of mate choices than in the county, so they don't have to worry about not being able to find a marriage when they get old.

The main reason is that Master Sun Er's official position is not high, and the children of the second wife have a wide range of choices for their spouses. If they were to move to the top circles in the capital, the room for choice would be too small, so many families would get engaged at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and some even arrange child marriages for fear that when they grow up, the range of choices would be too small and it would be difficult to find a suitable one.

Fortunately, no one heard the conversation between Sun Linyun and Master Sun Er. Otherwise, her sisters would be so angry if they knew what she said. After all, you don't want to enter the palace, so you push us into the fire pit? How can you be so mean?

Not to mention that Master Sun Er planned to send his own daughter to participate in the selection again two years later. Once she was selected, he would investigate Linlang's situation in the palace and pass the news to the second house. However, in the palace, after Linlang spent money to flip the card, the emperor soon flipped her card and then promoted Linlang to the sixth rank of selected concubines.

Just as Linlang guessed, before reaching the noble rank, if Linlang wanted to be promoted, she didn't have to worry about the emperor's disapproval.

But Linlang was promoted every time she was favored by the emperor, and this happened many times in a row, which made many people increasingly wary of Linlang and prepared to deal with her to prevent another Concubine Li from coming.

In the future, if Concubine Bie Li falls out of favor because of her age and Sun Linlang rises again, that would be bad.

This is not groundless. After all, Linlang has been upgraded many times in a row, so we have to be on guard.

Although Sun Linlang was not favored by the emperor every five days like Concubine Li, the emperor would upgrade her every time he visited her. This was very scary. How many people could do this? Moreover, the rank of Xuanshi was not low. After all, she was a sixth-rank concubine, which was considered a middle-level concubine.

You have to know that Cui Xuanshi, who did bad things before, was also a Xuanshi, and she was able to stir up trouble in the palace. Therefore, the rank of Xuanshi is not very low. The high-ranking concubines naturally felt that it was time to suppress Linlang, so that she would not climb higher and higher and become another competitor in the future.

The concubines who were not promoted were becoming more and more wary of Linlang, but after Linlang was promoted to another level, she would have one more maid serving her.

Although there are not so many houses and it is impossible to keep adding more, but for the palace maids, after they are promoted to the seventh rank lady, there is almost one more servant for every two levels they are promoted.

Then the monthly allowance would become more, so that the concubines would have enough money to spend. Unlike low-ranking concubines, they would quickly spend all their money on the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and it would be difficult for them to save money.

When Linlang was promoted to the sixth rank of concubine and had one more palace maid, she was naturally handed over to the management of the previous old man.

Linlang still needs to observe what kind of person he is.

As there were more and more palace maids around her, Linlang naturally had to observe them to judge whether they were good or not. If they were good, she would naturally keep them. If they were not, Linlang would find a way to send them away.

Of course, if anyone intends to harm her, Linlang will definitely take care of it.

Seeing that she could take care of one more person, Zhang, the palace maid who had been beside Linlang at the beginning, was very happy.

She immediately prayed that Linlang could be promoted to the fifth-rank talent as soon as possible, because a fifth-rank talent would have four servants, and the palace would then arrange for one of them to be a female historian, or a female official.

The concubines they serve have a lot of say in who will be the female official, and Linlang treats her best, so she will most likely be appointed as the female official.

Although the female officials around the fifth-rank talent are not up to par and are not even ninth-rank, they are at least female official level. In the future, she will not have to leave the palace and can retire in the palace. You know, those who have not reached the level of female official will have to leave the palace when they reach the age of 25.

Don't think that leaving the palace is good and that you will be free. Based on what she has learned from the people in the palace over the years she has been in the palace, the lives of palace maids who leave the palace are not easy.

After all, 25 years old is considered old. The person she marries will definitely not be a first-time bride. Generally, she can only marry a widower with children. She will become a stepmother as soon as she enters the house. Is it easy to be a stepmother? Most of the time, she will not be comfortable.

I don't know what kind of family I will marry into or what kind of suffering I will endure. It's not like in the palace, following Linlang, a master with a kind personality. If I can follow her for the rest of my life and work as a female official, my life will be much more comfortable than going back to get married.
