About This Novel

The promotion of female officials in the Ming Dynasty Her name is Shen Erya, a peasant girl from Songjiang Prefecture who grew up walking barefoot in the mud. Dad said that if you enter the palace, you will at least not starve to death. My mother received a new pair of shoes. The soles were densely stitched, saying they had to be thick for a long journey. But she didn't know that walking in the Forbidden City does not rely on the soles of shoes. Entered the palace at the age of fifteen, numbered thirty-seven. From then on, there was no Shen Erya in the world, and there was a Sasou palace maid who knelt on the bluestone and learned the rules. Frostbite, forced kneeling, slaps on the mouth, hunger - suffering is not an adjective, it is a daily life. But she refused. Why can she only kneel down for the rest of her life? She wants to stand up. From being a sweeper to a female scholar, from being a female historian to being the planner, planner, accountant, and then to the palm of the Shang Gong Bureau - in fifteen years, step by step, she turned "Shen Erya" into "Shen Shang Gong". There are no shortcuts, no men paving the way, no cheating on this road. Some of them are just the fingers that smashed the beads on the abacus, the lamp oil that was found at dawn after checking the accounts, and the bowl of tea that the teacher pushed over before leaving. In the deep palace, she sent away the sisters who died of illness in the clothes bureau, sent away the mentors who had left the palace after completing their term, and sent away everyone who was swallowed up by the city and never spit out again. She didn't have much - a sister who taught her how to read, a master who kept her on duty, and an old eunuch who treated her like a daughter. Every friendship is heavy and weighs heavily on my heart. It feels warm and painful. When she was thirty years old, she asked her to come back. The rules of the Hongwu Dynasty are still there - after serving for five or six years, female officials can be released and allowed to marry. She has no one to marry, but she has a life to live. In a house outside Nanjing, a loquat tree is planted in the yard. I make money and spend it myself, and live peacefully.
