Chapter 11 What's the point of gambling a game!
The night was clear and the moonlight was scorching.
The general's mansion is not peaceful, the deep gate compound, layer by layer, but there is an indescribable sense of depression in the strictness.
Liu Hong stood in the night light with his hands behind his back, his brows slightly frowned, and his lips were closed.
The sound of a woman crying from the backyard annoyed him.
The daughter has reached the age of sixteen, and the matter of the saint's concubine is still known to the world. He can't care so much about other people's thoughts, but it's just his own daughter, and he is really reluctant.
But...... At present, his position in the court is still precarious, holding military power, but he is also excluded by the ministers of the court, as the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, such as the king does not have a person who can speak on his side, no one dares to guarantee that one day the saint is angry, and his head can be safely saved.
He is surrounded by people with wolf ambitions, and he is not the best ally with anyone, he knows that there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests.
Therefore, only you can rely on yourself.
But......
"Mother, my father didn't let me go, but let my sister go, I'm a little worse than my sister. Why don't you let me go!"
The room was in a mess, several maids were kneeling on the ground to clean up, and a middle-aged woman in a lilac dress was sitting on the bed with a sad face holding her hair in a high bun.
The woman looked to be in her early thirties, but between her brows she could already see the marks of time, the marks of frequent frowning.
Beside her sat a girl in a goose-yellow dress, who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, with a colourful glazed vase poured at her feet, and her embroidered pillow lying at the other.
With a slightly pointed chin, slightly raised eye corners, and a slender nose, the whole facial features are not so ugly, but the look in these eyes is very scary at this time.
She is the youngest daughter of the general Liu Hong, with an older sister and two elder brothers, one of whom died on the battlefield, and the other who was also in an important position at this time.
Because the ranking is the smallest, and it is also the most spoiled.
Liu Pang grabbed her daughter's hand, tears couldn't help but fall, seeing her daughter so ignorant, she even regretted doting on her too much now, but even if she knew, she was still reluctant to scold, so she could only persuade her with good words.
"Daughter, why doesn't my father love you. Your sister entered the palace to choose a concubine, that was a last resort. She has reached the age of sixteen, and if she does not enter the palace, she will be punished by the criminal law. And you're only fourteen years old, not old enough to enter the palace, even if it's ......."
Liu Pang's eyes looked to the side, the ground was full of messes, and it was like a boudoir where it was clearly a battlefield.
"Even if it's anything!"
Liu Zhiqian pouted and stared at her mother, she didn't believe that if she was allowed to enter the palace, she would not be able to get the favor of the saint.
"Even if you reach your age, your father doesn't plan to let you enter the palace. ”
Liu Pang let go of his daughter's hand, stood up, and said meaningfully, "You are stubborn by nature, and your temper is not as docile as your sister." If you don't know how much trouble it will cause in the palace, your father is thinking about you, so he ......."
"Enough!" Liu Zhiqian pushed the things around her to the ground at once, and rushed out of the door angrily, "You all say that my sister is good, and you all say that I will do bad things, so I want to go." ”
The maid outside the door couldn't stop her, and Liu Pang shouted her name in the house in despair, but she rushed outside without looking back.
"Stop!"
Just as she was about to rush out of the door and go to her father's cronies for help, a stern voice sounded behind her, although she was not afraid of heaven and earth, but she was still frightened by this shout and stood still.
She turned her back to her father and refused to turn around, and her resentment was not released at all.
"I think you're becoming more and more lawless, and if I don't teach you today, you're going to fall out of this family. ”
Liu Hong is the most precious to her, because her youngest daughter's mouth is sweeter than her sister on weekdays, but being stubborn also gives him a headache.
"Dad, go and talk to Lord Wang. ”
"Say you're big, but don't give up. Someone came, put the young lady in the firewood room, and no one was allowed to let her out without my order. ”
"Daddy......"
"Sir...... This...... How can Qian'er sleep in the firewood room. ”
Liu Pang looked at her daughter with some distress, but looked at her husband with a little apprehension.
She knew his temper, and it wasn't so easy to take back what he had said.
"Don't say it, if you don't teach it, it's going to turn the world upside down. ”
With a flick of his sleeves behind his back, Liu Hong strode away without looking at his daughter with a dark face.
This is just in a general's mansion, and the matter of choosing a concubine has also exploded among the people.
Different people have different mentalities about sending their daughters to the palace, and some people feel sorry for their daughters and are afraid that their daughters will be punished when they enter the palace, and they want to prevent their daughters from entering the palace in every possible way.
There is hope that her daughter will become a phoenix once a sparrow, and that is also a way to choose.
The ugly one tries her best to find the secret recipe, and the one who is too beautiful also has her troubles.
Ouyang Heyue had already changed into men's clothes at this time, and the most talked about people on the street in the past few days was no longer the princess's illness, all of them were replaced by the concubine.
She even saw in several places that there were girls who wanted to enter the palace, and in order to lose weight, they fainted on the street on a desperate diet.
"Doctor, just help me, you can see how I can be pretty. ”
Ouyang and Yuegang took the money earned by settling accounts for others and went to eat, in ancient times, she didn't want anything, she spent money when she had money, and earned it if she didn't have money.
Compared with modern life, ancient life is much easier for her as a modern person, at least not a house slave or a car slave.
She can make a fortune casually, not to be rich and expensive, anyway, enough for her to live a free life.
Looking at the girls who were about to enter the palace with their sharpened heads, she could only smile bitterly.
They all thought it was good to enter the palace, but they didn't know that it was good to live after entering the palace.
"Doctor, I must enter the palace, I must be selected. Please, please help me. ”
The woman actually knelt on the ground in the street, but in front of her with a long beard, she shook her head impatiently, looking amazing, "Let's go, you can't choose like this, even if it's a fairy, it's useless." You're so ugly to scare the saints, I think you'd better raise pigs and feed sheep at home. ”
"It's so ugly to enter the palace. ”
After listening to Lang Zhong's words, several passers-by also began to make fun of the woman, and many people made fun of her, and the woman actually cried in public.
Ouyang Heyue didn't want to interfere, but seeing that the woman was really sad, she began to sympathize with her, no matter what, she had a pursuit, how could others stifle it.
"Get up, I'll help you!"
Ouyang Heyue looked at her face, this woman was actually not very ugly, but there was a little more flesh on her face, she was just begging for a goose egg face.
"You?"
The woman immediately stopped crying when she heard that someone was going to help her, but when she saw Ouyang Heyue in the women's version of men's clothing, she couldn't help but be suspicious.
"Well, don't worry, trust me, I'll make you in. ”
Ouyang Heyue looked at her seriously.
"Hmph, okay, let's all see, I can't help it, how can this son let her be selected. If she can be selected, I will call him Master. ”
Lang Zhong seemed to be commanded in public, which was very unpleasant, and he couldn't help but provoke when he looked at the young Ouyang Heyue.
"Okay, if I can't let her be selected by her appearance, I will call you master, and give you a free apprentice of Sanyue, you just need to take care of my three meals, I don't want you to have one, what do you think?"
Ouyang and Yue thought to themselves, no matter what, I won't suffer, so what's the point of betting on a game!
"What a big breath, okay!
