The emperor wants to choose beauties?

Ye Jiao thought for a moment and said, "do you mean to choose an imperial concubine?" It's like in the storybook. "

Dong is only an ordinary citizen, not to mention the emperor. Even when she sees an official, she can only talk to the county magistrate. All she knows about the emperor and the concubine is what she got from the words. "Yes, that's about it," she said. "

It is not that Ye Jiao does not understand these. On the contrary, when the villains read those novels, the emperor is always 3,000 people in the harem. He wishes he could get all the beauties in the world into it. Now he is just choosing an imperial concubine, which is not surprising.

Instead of Chu Chengyun, Ye Jiao could not help remembering the stubborn son of San who wanted to shake something at the Guanpu stall, and recalled the appearance of Chu Chengyun and Meng, imagining that a group of beautiful women suddenly appeared behind them.

All of a sudden, can't figure it out.

Dong did not see Ye Jiao's mind, but went on: "the big girl of the Shen family is arrogant and domineering, but they have some skills in their family. This time, I don't know why people who are related to official families are not willing to give their daughters, and they are in a hurry to get engaged to their daughters." the Shen family took the opportunity to stuff their daughter in, as if they had made a lot of money. "

Ye Jiao blinked and said, "when you enter the palace, you must have an official family?"

Dong didn't know much, so he could only pick out what he knew and said, "No, it would be good if a woman in an official's family is good, but if she is not of the right age, the royal family will not force the official to carry her daughter out. It is also possible to choose good-looking ones from ordinary families."

Ye Jiao nodded, pinched a piece of tea and stuffed it into her mouth.

However, Dong was a little aggrieved. He had just thought of holding back this matter and not saying it, after all, it was not a happy thing, but since he had asked and talked about it, it was like an open box, which was a little out of place.

Putting down the tea cups, Dong clenched his teeth and said, "this Shen girl is also unreliable. I have already agreed on a marriage for my mother's family. I will marry my mother's brother soon. I have never said anything bad about her to my mother's family. I didn't mention any of the bad things she did before, but she ruined her engagement in order to enter the palace." in vain, my family was shameless. "

Dong didn't say anything through the grapevine.

I heard that the new governor of the state was reluctant to give up his daughter and stopped the family from sending people to the palace, which gave the Shen family a chance. also heard that recently some people talked about the deep affection between the emperor and his wife in the palace, and others did not even have a chance to talk.

It's just that none of this is counted, and it sounds a little hard to believe, so Dong didn't say it.

After all, only the anger brought by the Shen family's repentance was left to Dong.

Ye Jiao did not know the consequences of repentance, but Xiao Su, who was on one side, covered her mouth in surprise.

Dong Shi did not control himself in the end, said coldly: "I'd like to see what kind of world she can break out in the capital, that stupid temper …". " But soon Dong died hoarse.

In the end, people are going to Beijing, so they should not be spoiled, in case the emperor is blind. Well, in case she accidentally gets favored, she is telling the truth about everything she says now.

It's better to be careful.

Dong hummed a few sips of tea and smiled again when he talked about pharmacology with Ye Jiao.

Before leaving, Dong urged: "Niang Niang, I have inquired before that the selected women from all over the country will enter the palace next spring. How thoughtful you are then, you should not be bothered by her, that person." Don't be shameless. "

Ye Jiao nodded and should come down, ready to ask when Qi Yun came back.

And now in the vestibule, Qi Yun is looking faintly at the seven uncles and several young people threatening and seducing his father.

As Qi Yun expected, Qi's seven uncles really came to play with the autumn wind, but more importantly, there was a grandson in his family, who was usually a dandy. This time, there was a life lawsuit, and the seventh uncle wanted to find someone to dredge.

Unexpectedly, the descendants of the family were all unpromising. When the family broke up, he actually drove Qi Yun's grandfather out of the clan. Who would have thought that the one who had been driven out could be so capable?.

Now that something happened and he found out that Father Qi had a soft temper, Uncle Qi came to the door on crutches.

Qi Fu is indeed a soft-hearted person, and he is kind and obedient, and he is honest in his duty, but this does not mean that he is stupid.

On the contrary, Qi Fu was able to marry Liu, who was much higher than his famous girl, which is enough to prove that Qi Fu has his own plan in mind.

It's just that Qi Fu's talent is not high, which can be regarded as a disadvantage.

But he knows that he is not talented enough, and admits frankly that this is the advantage.

When Qi Yun came, Qi Zhao and Qi Yun said two words together and then separated, and Qi Fu knew in his heart that his two sons had a plan.

So he just listened to the public complaint of Uncle Qi, with a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes looked at Qi Zhao Qi Yun from time to time.

When he saw him like this, he felt in his heart that this man, like his own father, was also simple and deceivable, so he was even more aggrieved. He sighed and said, "my silly grandson was deceived." he was fooled. He got into trouble for no reason. Nephew, you have to take care of them. to sum up, you are also related by blood, and if you don't care, he really has no way to live. "

Qi Fu said nothing but sighed.

It was Qi Zhao who frowned on one side.

As a grandchild, in fact, he can not buy beak elders, even Qi Fu, Qi Uncle is Qi Fu's uncle, also can not say no.

But it is clear that this sentence is vexatious.

The family is also divided, usually there is no communication at all, but now they are shy to come to visit their relatives and let their own family help them make things even. How can there be such a cheap reason?

Qi Zhao is not like the second brother and third brother, can not say so much truth, Qi Zhao is the most capable is farming, but people in this kind of land also have their own way of life.

Seven uncles this family is poisonous weeds, grow up is a big poisonous weeds, around is not good.

But now he still wants to spoil the crops and seedlings on his side, and Qi Zhao is naturally unwilling to do so.

Qi Yun, on the other hand, looked pale and sat there quietly without saying a word.

Seven Uncle Gong sold out his old face and found that the family was still unmoved. He couldn't help being a little worried.

Looking at a young man he had brought with him, the man immediately knelt down and cried, "my brother is stupid and unaware of himself, uncle, please help him. We are broken bones and tendons in the end!"

Just then, Tiezi walked in quickly.

Just before Qi Yun came over, asked him to go outside and ask for the news.

The way to inquire is also simple. went directly to the Yamen, asked about the record of the file, and then ran back.

He walked quickly to Qi Yun and whispered a few words, and Qi Yun frowned slightly.

Then, instead of keeping his mouth shut, Qi Erlang stood up and saluted to the crowd slightly, coughing again, and then said, "the younger generation Qi Yun has met uncles, uncles, and cousins."

He spoke politely and in a calm voice, but he seemed to be easy to get along with.

The seventh uncle naturally knew that Qi Yun, the second young master of the sick Yangzi, had changed so much recently that he had passed on how terrible he was before, and how excellent he was now.

When I saw it now, the seventh uncle thought that what outsiders had said was true, and he only hated that he did not have such a grandchild like the god of wealth, otherwise he would still be afraid for the sake of his family.

But on the face of it, Uncle Qi smiled and said, "Erlang, get up quickly."

Qi Yun just stooped slightly, heard the words, raised his waist, and then gently held his hands together and covered them with sleeves. In his hand, he was very precious, holding the new stove Ye Jiao had picked out two days ago.

His eyes looked at Qi Fu and said in a slow voice, "Dad, the son wants to say something."

Qi Fu immediately said, "just say it."

Qi Yun saluted again, and then said in a flat voice, "Uncle Gang Qi said that the cousin had only been deceived into the disaster, and the son turned the door and asked people to inquire about it. It seemed that the matter was slightly different from what Uncle Qi had said."

As soon as these words came out, Uncle Qi's face froze slightly.

Tiezi, on the other hand, received a sign from Qi Yun and stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "if you go back to your employer, the people in the Yamen said that Qi Shaoye hurt people in front of his horse in the street, beat and scolded passers-by, and spent a few days in prison, and soon she was sued a woman." as a result, the woman of the good family was humiliated and bit her tongue. "

"shut up!" Uncle Qi immediately knocked on his crutch and stood up. "whose servant are you?" I can't believe you don't know the rules! "

Tiezi was not afraid of him, and even hated him in his heart.

He has been with Qi Yun for a long time, so he naturally knows some of the twists and turns of the Qi family.

In front of this old man, he ran on his boss when he was young and broke up forcefully. Now when he is old, he will come to play the autumn wind, and the whole family of the owner will dislike them.

Don't say that you are just telling the truth now. Even if you point at them and swear in the street, the employer will not say anything bad about them.

Instead of using Tiezi to go out and be the bad guy, Qi Yun just nodded and Tiezi stood sideways.

On the other hand, Qi Yun still looked calmly at Qi Fu and said, "Father, there is nothing we can do about such a thing."

Compared with Qi Yun's insipid, Qi Zhao's reaction is much stronger.

He had a straightforward temper and could not see those dirty things the most. Now, after hearing such a disgusting thing, with a look of righteous indignation on his face, he said loudly to Qi Fu, "Dad, the national law cannot tolerate such evil people. Everything has been decided by the Yamen in the imperial court." it's all out of human life. who can take care of him? Do not live for your own iniquity. "

The seventh uncle originally wanted to soften and fool Qi Fu. At that time, the seventh uncle had the ability to pull the Qi family to make tiger skin to frighten the woman's family.

Even if Qi Fu knows the truth behind, by that time things have been done, think Qi Fu can only pinch his nose and admit his bad luck.

As a result, he was now blown to his face by others, and Uncle Qi's face turned red.

The man, who had just been lying on the ground crying bitterly, ran up directly, supported his seven uncles, and scolded the Qi family in his mouth: "what are you going to do?" The old man is old, so if you have something to say, you have to be angry with him. If there is a good thing, do you think you can get away with it? "

Qi Zhao glanced at him and said, "Why, go to court?"

The man choked on his mouth.

Naturally, he did not dare to go to court. He did not know that there was no relationship between the two families. It was still for the sake of his seventh uncle that he could allow them to sit for such a long time. When he went to court, his silly brother could only die even more miserably.

So he can only use filial piety to oppress people: "in the end is a family, you are so so, you are not afraid that outsiders will say that you are disobedient and unfilial?"

This remark is stuck in the heart of Qi Fu.

As usual, he would have refused without seeing it.

But now, Saburo has just been lifted, it is a critical time, can not go wrong.

And seven uncles also happened to cover his heart, shouting pain, and was about to faint.

For a moment, Qi Fu was silent, but Qi Yun was well prepared and said to the door, "bring it in."

So four boys came in carefully carrying a plaque covered with red cloth.

Qi Yun asked them to put them on the case in front of them, and then reached out to uncover the red cloth.

Up there, there are four golden "Shiko Xingjie".

The pen is a dragon and a snake, it is an excellent word, and most importantly, it is a gift from the emperor.

Qi Yun knelt down first, and then Qi Fu looked back and pulled Qi Yun to his knees, and the servants around him knelt together.

Seven uncles also heard that the Qi family had a gold plaque, even though he had never seen it before, but now he knew what it was when he saw their reaction.

Also dare not pretend to be ill, hurriedly follow the creeping kneel, the people around kneel into one.

Qi Yun was the first to kneel and the first to get up.

Holding the gold plaque and patting the dust that did not exist on his knee, he said in a low voice, "the Holy Lord calls my family the home of Zhigao Xingjie, which tells me that we should be fair and clear, and never associate ourselves with things that do not appear on the stage. Now my uncle's insistence on forcing my father to do that illegal thing is to make me wait for me to disobey the order. I beg your pardon. I beg to differ. "

As soon as these words came out, the seventh uncle felt dark in front of his eyes.

Before he came, he thought the gold plaque was a good thing. After all, there was a gold plaque here, and any Yamen family could give them some face. Even if they said so, they could scare people, and they could always save their grandchildren.

Who knows that now this gold plaque has become a mountain on his head, can not be moved, can not be moved.

It was a good abacus before, but now it's all in vain, how can he not be angry?

Qi Zhao also understood the meaning inside, thinking that his second brother had a way, but he said coldly, "come on, go and invite Li Lang Zhong, and say that there are guests at home, his body and bones are not good. Let him have a good look. If not, a few more needles will not make the guests uncomfortable, and it is inevitable to say that I am ill-treated by the Qi family."

This makes it clear that he treats the family as guests, not his own family.

In fact, the truth is such a truth, even one side of the Qi Fu people in the heart are ridiculed, early divided home door-to-door as a demon, was beaten in the face deserved.

However, Qi Yun looked at his eldest brother unexpectedly. In the past, he only knew Qi Zhaochunshan, but he did not know that his eldest brother was also very good at choking people.

After all, the seventh uncle is too old to lose his temper when he is in the face. If people say that they disobey the holy will, it will affect the whole clan.

I can't have an attack. I hold my breath in my heart. I just pretended to be dizzy, but now I'm really dizzy.

Unluckily, he could not fall down, so he could only hold his breath and left, and as soon as he got into the carriage, he fainted with anger in his eyes.

It's just that none of this has anything to do with the Qi family, and no one cares.

Qi Fu directed people to re-hang the gold plaque. Qi Zhao Qi Yun went to the vestibule to receive guests and friends as if nothing had happened, and he had to draw out his hands to help Qi Ming, a half-grown boy, deal with others. In short, he was very busy.

By the time Qi Yun returned to the house, the sun was already setting.

When entered the door, saw Ye Jiao sitting on the soft couch, smiling and teasing the child.

Xubao should be studying at this time, but there are only two little guys, Ningbao and Ruyi.

Ruyi is lively and happy to play with himself. the little girl's chubby face is always smiling and her eyes are always dripping around.

Ning Bao is different. the child's eyes are not like Ye Jiao, but like Qi Yun, with some radians at the end of his eyes. when he does not cry or laugh, he only squints quietly and does not move.

It's just that Ning Bao likes knitting balls, and it always works well to tease him with this.

He was neither looking nor noisy, especially quiet and attentive, his mouth closed, his fist clenched, his head motionless, and only his eyes fixed on the ball.

This was very interesting. When Ye Jiao saw Qi Yun enter the door, she called him over and said, "look, Ningbao is finally awake."

But when Ye Jiao spoke, the ball just held it without shaking. Ning Bao only looked at it twice and lost interest. He hit Yawn in the head and closed his eyes.

When Ye Jiao saw this, some unconvinced leaned over and kissed Ningbao on the head.

When he was about to kiss for the second time, Ningbao's small meat claws pressed precisely on Ye Jiao's lips, frowning and holding his head high.

On the other hand, Ruyi moved around in swaddling clothes, and it was only when Ye Jiao kissed her that she gave up.

Mrs. Mo watched and whispered, "second mistress, the young master and the girl are sleepy. Feed them and go to bed."

Qi Yun added: "my mother misses them."

"Yes, I'll take them to see her ladyship."

Ye Jiao let Xiao Su pull through the screen. She breast-fed the two children, hugged each of them with Qi Yun, patted them on the back, and handed them to Mrs. Mo after they had given milk hiccups.

Qi Yun's eyes twirled around the woman's neckline and was about to sit over.

Now we can find an opportunity to make up for what we haven't done during the day.

Ye Jiao did not find his intention, just tied the tape while smiling: "Chunlan just came, said two things, I want to ask you."

I could tell that what Ye Jiao was saying was serious. Qi Yun originally wanted to try her wife's chest-fitting hand and put it on her waist as soon as he turned the corner, but his face asked solemnly, "what's the matter?"

"for one thing, Chunlan said that the children were young, for fear that they would forget me. I also wondered if I could take them with me when I came to Beijing."

This matter is not a big deal for Qi Yun. Whether it is a matter of one sentence or not, didn't think about the long journey before, so it was not very convenient to take care of the children. After went there, had to arrange all kinds of things.

But now, with the help of Ye Pingrong and Princess Huanning, all the houses have been found, so there are not so many twists and turns. Qi Yun nodded: "she has a point. We'll just take more wives to take care of Ningbao Ruyi."

Ye Jiao smiled and looked over and kissed him on the cheek.

Qi Yun took advantage of the opportunity to turn his head and let the woman kiss on his lips.

With a touch of sweetness, it is the sweet taste of coconut. It seems that the coconut cake sent by my mother hasn't finished yet.

Then Ye Jiao leaned on his shoulder and said, "one more thing. Chunlan asked me to stay away from the Shen girl and said that she …" Little ginseng is not good at summing up, and after thinking about it for a long time, only one sentence came out, "say she is not a good person."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Yun slightly raised his eyebrows and asked carefully, and Ye Jiao told Qi Yun what Dong had just said to herself.

On hearing this, Qi Yun recognized the way inside.

It's just that he didn't think that Shen Da girl was blessed, on the contrary, he thought she was stupid and didn't know it.

In fact, Qi Yun knew Chu Chengyun's temperament before, and that person's temper was not lecherous or capricious, otherwise he would not be so stubborn that he was so pure and good that he did not know how to resist when he was killed in front of his eyes.

Qi Yun also speculated about Meng.

There is a plan, there is a city government, know how to advance and retreat, also know how to judge the hour and size up the situation.

Being able to be independent on the outside and gentle and courteous in the internal energy, even many men with eyebrows are not as good as hers. Queen Meng's means are by no means ordinary.

Not long ago, the words on the storytelling stall confirmed Qi Yun's idea.

When the emperor wanted to choose the imperial concubine, the courtiers opposed it, but the outside world began to spread the words of the husband and wife who were suspected to be reflecting the emperor. if it was a coincidence, the fool would believe it.

And Zhizhou's daughter did not move, but let the Shen girl take advantage of the loophole, a string will be very clear.

As for the other big families, they don't know this, but as long as they think that there is no movement at home, I am afraid they will be able to figure out some smell.

That is because other people know that the roots of the state are deep, see through, know that they are not in a position of power, and do not want to drill camp, and guess that the one in the palace is not good with each other, so that their daughter will not be allowed to suffer.

As for whether the Beijing officials will catch up and fight, it has nothing to do with such outbound officials like him.

Just as the Shen family stuffed money to give away, the governor of the state pushed the boat along with the river.

It looks like pie fell from the sky, but it is not clear whether the pie is made of meat or iron pimples.

I don't know whether the Shen family is bad or not, but this fool can't escape.

Or returned to the marriage in a hurry to be sent to the palace. Even ordinary people know that there are not only concubines and maids who enter the palace, and there are many more slaves than masters in that golden house surrounded by red bricks and green tiles.

But these inside stories are too complicated, and coupled with the fact that the matter is related to the heavenly family, it is always troublesome to say it. Qi Yun only kissed Ye Jiao on the forehead and whispered, "you might as well do something. We'll just avoid her at that time, and we should accumulate virtue and do good."

After all, the sufferings of Shen Da's girl lie behind, and there is no need to pay attention to her.

Ye coddled to listen to him, so he nodded.

However, Qi Yun said, "it's just that the Shen family is the sister-in-law of my sister-in-law, so it's better to talk to my sister-in-law about this."

After hearing this, the little ginseng pondered over the relationship before sorting out the relationship.

The wife of the brother of the Fang family is Shen, and the Shen family is related to the Fang family, which has something to do with the Qi family.

When Ye Jiao thought of the relationship between the Dong family and the Shen family today, she couldn't help feeling: "it's not easy to be a man. There are always a lot of relatives."

It is troublesome to find out who is married to whom and who is separated from whom.

However, the little ginseng is still kept in mind, knowing that it is right to write down one thing after all.

On the other hand, Qi Yun is going to remind Fang.

Sister-in-law Fang may be stingy, but her heart is very good, she is good to her family, and what she should do is never ambiguous, so Qi Yun should naturally have something in return.

After all, this kind of thing has something to do with her mother's family, Fang's family. if you get married, you will lose both glory and loss. now the Shen family is stupid in doing this, no matter whether it is good or bad, Qi Yun should always let Fang know.

As for whether the Shen family will listen to advice, it is like drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or cold.

Qi Yun didn't like Ye Jiao to think too much about the rest. After dinner, he took Ye Jiao to study books.

Having not made out for a long time, a little bit of Mars is a thunderous fire, which is out of control.

Qi Yun was afraid that Ye Jiao was still weak and didn't think about it too much, but he was pulled around by Ye Jiao. In the back, he didn't know who was dragging who.

The next day, Ye Jiao slept three poles in the sun, and when she had finished her breakfast, she wanted to see Liu.

But Xiao Su whispered, "second wife, the eldest daughter-in-law has just gone to her ladyship's yard. Let's go later."

Ye Jiao was stupefied for a moment and asked, "what's the matter?"

Xiao Su looked around and then whispered, "it is said that the young lady wiped away her tears, and her ladyship could not stop persuading her."
