Chapter 49: The Iceberg

Ma's father, Ma Quan, returned to the capital with these words. www.biquge.info At that time, the Ma family had already signed up for the election, and got the assurance of the grandson, saying that he would treat each other as the princess. But when they heard Zhou Dian's sentence "Yongcheng women should be noble", they knew that there would definitely be twists and turns in this matter. Zhou Dian's deeds were recorded by the emperor himself, and all kinds of miracles made the emperor convinced of his words, so what Zhou Dian said must have a profound intention, and it should be in this year's draft.

Therefore, Ma Quan and Ma both thought that there would be a show girl from Yongcheng, who responded to this "noble" proverb.

This year's draft is actually just choosing a concubine for one person, and the others are just foils, that is, the grandson, because the emperor is dying, and the grandson is the new master of this empire. If Zhou Dian gave the emperor the so-called Mandate of Heaven, with the emperor's temperament, he would definitely pay close attention to this woman from Yongcheng, because the emperor himself actually believed in these things, when he fought the world, he collected a group of monks and Taoists who were divination, and the emperor himself would also look at the stars, for example, at the beginning of this year, the emperor read Cai's "Book Biography", Xiang Wei Run, and found that Zhu Zi's "Poetry Biography" Contrary to the contradictions, there are similarities and differences between the other annotations and those compiled by Zou Jiyou in Poyang, so he summoned Dr. Qian Zai and others to Beijing to inform him of the meaning of Cai's biography.

The emperor said: "Every time I look at the celestial phenomena, there is black gas condensed in Kuibi since the beginning of Hongwu, and Kuibi is the house of articles, and I feel quite strange. In the spring twilight of this year, the black gas began to disappear, and the cultural movement was booming. It is advisable for you to archaeology the present and to have what you say, so that you may be satisfied. ”

The emperor watched the sky at night and found that the black qi condensed between the Kuibi star fields had disappeared, which meant that the literary fortune was in full swing, so the emperor summoned scholars to rebuild and revise Cai's biography.

Therefore, the emperor is convinced that these are the stars of the weft, and the show girl from Yongcheng is likely to be the next concubine.

Ma is not reconciled, she is not only unwilling, things are man-made, what about the destiny of heaven - with a sentence from Zhou Dian, she can easily veto all her efforts, and the theme of her life has changed from this moment, that is, to prove herself. What she wants to prove is not only that Yongcheng Nu is not qualified to be the princess, but also that she can do the best than Yongcheng Nu, and that she has enough means and favor to stand to the height that the so-called fate denies her to reach.

So she begged her father to tamper with Zhou Dian's words, of course, she wouldn't be stupid enough to change it to say that the Ma family girl should be a nobleman, and only said two words that were cloudy, didn't Zhou Dian say a lot of such confusing words, even if it was to say, Zhou Dian's message to the Son of Heaven, the country will be for thousands of years, it is okay.

Since ancient times, the Chinese have had a concept called "not to take from the straight, but to seek from the curve", the goal is in the front, it is impossible for you to take it directly, to achieve the goal, you will use various side means in a roundabout way. For example, Ma Quan brought Zhou Dian's words to the emperor, although he only said some strange words that he couldn't understand or words that praised virtue, but the emperor naturally had to analyze why Zhou Dian let Ma Quan touch it, and he also brought Ma Quan to himself, which achieved Ma's goal - the emperor looked left and right and found that Ma Quan actually had a daughter of the right age, who happened to be among the show girls in the draft.

The emperor would wonder if the phrase "Guozuo for ten thousand years" would have something to do with Ma Quan's daughter, and that would be enough, and Ma had already noticed it. The premise is that Ma Quan changed Zhou Dian's sentence.

Under the pleading of his daughter and wife, Ma Quan's heart of a person who is not very bold was also shaken, thinking that as long as he changed his sentence, his daughter might sit in the position of the princess, and in the future, she might be the mistress of this country - he naturally knew the deep friendship between Ma and the grandson.

Ma Quan thought about it and decided to fulfill his daughter, but he did not add a sentence of "Guozuo" as his daughter wished, but chose to delete the sentence "Yongcheng girl should be a noble", that is to say, when the emperor asked, he said the sentence "Yan into the family", after all, he was still afraid that Zhou Dian would ask more than one person to see the emperor.

If the emperor found out, he at least had a buffer reason, saying that it was better to say that he didn't listen to everything than to directly tamper with it - Ma Quan's decision, although it did not meet Ma's requirements, at least guaranteed that Ma had the same chance to run.

Similarly, Ma began to search for Xiu Girl from Yongcheng in Xiu Nu, but to her surprise, after the first round of searching, she even checked the register, but did not find the origin of this place in Yongcheng.

But I didn't know that Zhang Zhaohua's household registration was returned to Zhangchang Village, Dezhou, because at that time, the grain chief planned to be related to her, and it was impossible to have the same surname and the same village, so he changed it slightly and deleted the place of Yongcheng, and the household registration of the grain chief's family was Yongcheng, so that the marriage book would not violate the etiquette system.

So Ma was very surprised, could it be that Zhou Dian was not referring to the show girl, but to someone other than the show girl, could it be the palace maid in the palace or something--thinking about it this way, Ma felt that he had a better chance of winning, and it was impossible for the emperor to refer to a palace maid as the concubine of the grandson, thinking that it might be to give some palace maids who served to come down, and then as long as Ma paid attention, he could find out the origin of Yongcheng, and then there were many ways to make this disaster disappear in the bud.

Later, one day, when many show girls were playing games in the garden, Ma heard the dark cloud that had been haunting his heart, the nightmarish word "Yongcheng", and there was a show girl, named Zhang Zhaohua, who was from Yongcheng.

Why didn't Yongcheng be written on the household register? Why didn't you let her know earlier, she had lost the opportunity!

Ma said to himself, don't worry, you have to observe first.

This show girl named Zhang Zhaohua can't show anything unique among so many show girls. Thin eyebrows and long eyes, combined with just delicate and beautiful, but this appearance is also different from others, because her eyebrows and eyes are very open at the same time, and there is a feeling of a sparse northern daughter, so I asked that it was from Henan, everyone was a little surprised, the Central Plains, the feeling of the north and the south is mixed, and because of this characteristic, she and the show girl from the south and the north can be said to go together.

Speaking of a piece, it does not mean that you have a heart-to-heart with anyone, Ma took a closer look and found that Zhang's temperament is also a little unique, and those who can do it themselves will never trouble others, and they have little to say, and the show girls are in one place, just like the background board, they don't want to try their best to perform, they don't bother to drill the camp, and they often sit silently and thoughtfully.

The more this happens, the more Ma can't figure it out, of course, before she can make a move, someone will test her first.

Niu's is a show girl in the same room with Zhang's, Niu's father is a wealthy family in Yuhuatai, Jingshi, and he raised such a daughter too unknowingly, and the three show girls who slept with her, one was timid, one was wooden, and the rest was Zhang's, and Niu's naturally wanted to bully her.

The Ma family knew about framing Zhang for stealing her hairpin, and this incident made her see the tip of the iceberg revealed by Zhang.

Zhang had already registered all the things in his official suitcase on the register, which was not something that ordinary show girls could think of, because everyone had private things and didn't want to be known. Besides, the poorer ones don't dare to open the box to make people laugh, and the richer ones are afraid that their things will be remembered, that's the reason.

Only Zhang's can keep the case on the record, why, did he think that there would be today a long time ago - this idea is a bit terrifying, it proves that Zhou Dian's prophecy is accurate, a woman who can be "noble" is of course not an ordinary woman.

However, in Ma's view, this can only be said to be prepared, which shows that Zhang's can think in advance and think more completely than others, and it can't be said that Zhang's really has the ability to compete with her until another thing breaks out.

The Niu family actually ran in front of Mama Gongzheng and accused the Zhang family of being tired of winning!

Ma suddenly felt that she should pay attention to this Niu family, and she was very impressed by the desperate idea of becoming a benevolent person if she didn't succeed. However, just when she thought she would make a big move, and the Zhang family was in a catastrophe, the person who was forked out and beaten half to death was the Niu family.

The specific reason, even the female official who took refuge in her was vague and unwilling to elaborate, only saying that the Niu family really deserved it - the Ma family could not find out the details, but she knew from then on that the Zhang family was really her biggest rival.

I really want to thank Niu Shi for testing a behemoth for her.
