Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Although you have to serve others in the palace, you also have to serve your husband's family after you get married! But it's not as good as serving Linlang alone.

Moreover, she didn't know what the personalities of her husband's family were like, whether her stepson, stepdaughter, sister-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and sisters-in-law were difficult to deal with. She estimated that even if they were not difficult, they would not be better than Linlang. After all, Linlang was the master with the best personality she had ever seen. In this case, why should she leave the palace and serve people who were worse than Linlang?

In addition, serving people in the palace would receive monthly wages and be able to manage the palace maids. And when you reach a level above female officials, the food, clothing, and other daily necessities would all be the best.

What if she didn't leave the palace as a female official? When she left the palace and returned to her hometown in the countryside, what kind of family could she marry? If she could marry a widower who was a little bit better off in the town or county, it would be good. That would be the end of her life. It would be impossible to find a better condition. Would she be treated like a female official in the palace? Most likely, it would be impossible. After all, a widower who was a little bit better off could afford to hire a lot of servants to be under her care, and how much monthly salary could he give her? How could he possibly eat, wear and use better things than a female official in the palace? What a good thing!

Most of the time, they would not hire any servants. At most, they would hire a servant to do some rough work. As for other housework, the daughter-in-law would most likely be used as a servant to take care of the housework of the whole family, which was much harder than serving in the palace.

Not to mention that her job is much harder than that of a female official, I'm afraid it is much harder than that of an ordinary palace maid like her.

Not to mention anything else, washing clothes for the whole family, cooking for the whole family, and cleaning the house inside and outside is a terrible job.

The hardest time for her in the palace was when she was alone with Linlang and cleaned the place where Linlang lived, which was just one room. Cleaning was not hard at all. She didn't have to wash clothes because they were handed over to the laundry department. She just had to go and get them. She didn't have to cook. She just had to go to the imperial kitchen to get them. It was much easier than having to wash clothes for the whole family, cook for the whole family, and clean such a large area inside and outside the house in the future.

What's more, there are more than just these common housework tasks, there are other tasks waiting to be done such as raising chickens and pigs and taking care of the fields, which is even more terrifying.

In addition, when you get married, you will have children, and you never know when you will die after giving birth.

Thinking of these terrible situations, many palace maids did not want to go back. They just wanted to climb up in the palace. As long as they could become a female official, they would have someone to rely on for the rest of their lives.

Palace Maid Zhang naturally thought the same. She didn't want to leave the palace and only wanted to become a female official in the palace and live a good life in the future without worries about food and clothing.

However, she had no connections or support, and did not know how to curry favor with others, so she was only assigned to the lowest-level concubines to serve them.

When she was assigned here at that time, she was desperate, because it was very rare for a concubine to climb up from Cheng'en to Cairen and above, giving her the opportunity to become a female official.

But seeing Linlang's steady promotion and almost reaching the rank of talented person, she suddenly felt that this dream was possible, so she prayed for Linlang's continued promotion.

In fact, after Linlang attracted attention, there were people who tried to win her over and asked her to harm Linlang. The benefit they offered was that if she wanted to leave the palace, they would give her a satisfactory amount of silver; if she did not want to leave the palace, they would help her get the position of a female historian.

But she ignored him, because she saw the potential in Linlang. She felt that if she followed Linlang, she might not only have a position like that of a female historian in the future, but might even be able to hold a higher position. So she would never be lured by anyone to harm Linlang.

Of course, the main reason is that she is not the kind of person who would harm others.

After praying, Palace Maid Zhang went over to arrange things for the newlyweds.

As Linlang's rank increased, she had to increase her staff, because more people would come to see her, which meant more socializing. If she didn't increase her staff, some socializing matters would not work without someone in charge. Maid Zhang immediately arranged for the previously transferred maid to be in charge of socializing, and the newcomers to do the simplest errands and odd jobs. Linlang had no objection to her arrangement and naturally agreed.

It is true that as your status increases, your social circles increase.

When Linlang was a low-ranking concubine, she basically just said a few words to the people around her in the Zi Lan Palace and didn't socialize much.

But when Linlang reached the sixth rank of concubine, it was no longer just a matter of saying a few words to the people around Zi Lan Palace.

In addition to the group of people from Zi Lan Palace who came to establish a relationship with Lin Lang, there were also quite a few people from other palaces who came to hang out and visit. I wouldn’t say there were many, but on average, there was at least one person every day.

They either visited in person or invited Linlang to their place to play.

When it comes to going to other people's places to play, Linlang usually refuses on the grounds that she doesn't like going out, but she can't refuse others who come to her. After all, she can't just ignore them if someone comes to her. So her social interactions are increasing rapidly every day. There are a lot of people who want to curry favor with her, try to win her over, and have ulterior motives. There are more people who come to her than the last time she was promoted.

Concubine Cai even sent a gift to congratulate Linlang when she saw her promotion, which had never happened before.

Of course, the other party kept talking about Concubine Li's favor in front of Linlang. It was obvious that he had not given up and wanted to provoke a fight between Linlang and Concubine Li.

Not only did Concubine Cai send gifts, but others also sent gifts.

Among the three, Palace Lady Zhang was the only one who could read, so the compilation of the gift list was naturally handled by Palace Lady Zhang.

Originally, Zhang Gongren was an illiterate country girl. It was after she came to Linlang that Linlang thought she was a good person and planned to make her a personal female official when she was promoted to a high position in the future. Naturally, she had to train her, so she taught her how to read. Anyway, Linlang had nothing to do, so it was good for her to teach people around her to read. Not only her, but also new people who came in the future, as long as Linlang planned to keep them, she would teach them. In modern times, this is equivalent to vocational training.

There is no need to worry about the original body being illiterate. Linlang can read, and people would think it strange if they saw her. Linlang had already made plans - when she first entered the palace for internship, Linlang asked someone to teach her how to read, so it is normal that she can read now.

After the gifts are registered, it will be easier for you to know what you have and to return the gifts in the future.

Linlang treats those who are trying to curry favor with others, or try to win over others, or have ulterior motives the same on the surface, but she will treat them differently in private - at least she will secretly deal with those who harm others.

These people didn't know that Linlang already knew their true identities, and they just thought that Linlang didn't know.

It was mainly Linlang. There was nothing unusual in reality, but what they didn't know was that Linlang had created files for everyone on the optical computer, but the optical computer was placed in Linlang's space and these people didn't know about it.

Although Linlang doesn't visit other people's homes as a guest, she still treats others well when they come to visit her. (End of this chapter)
