CHAPTER XLIV

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, the little eunuch got out of the car with a few people, and after the palace gate guards checked the waist card, he led a dozen people to walk quickly, and walked straight towards the queen mother's palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Several people hurriedly lowered their heads and humbly accepted it, but the turn of their eyes was not under the jurisdiction of the little eunuch. After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, he came to a larger door guarded by four or five guards, and by this time several of them had already begun to pant. Just at this door, you can stop and rest for a while, and be inspected again, this time not only the little eunuchs, but even these sons and brothers have also been searched, and those guards said while searching: "The rules are like this, don't hold grudges with the masters." Xia Liansheng saw that Liu Fang was pinched twice because of his sissy and didn't dare to make a noise, and when he was searching for him, he kept an eye on it, and stuffed a small purse into the guard who searched him with his hands at full speed. Sure enough, his search was normal, after the search, everyone wiped their sweat, Xia Liansheng wiped his head and thought: Good looks are also a loss, fortunately there are preparations in advance, but the person receiving the gift is not the person he expected, he thought he had to reward the little eunuch, but it turned out that these guards were also quite dark.

After passing this gate, it is considered to have entered the harem, or it may have been ordered by the Queen Mother, and there was no one along the way, and the little eunuch accelerated to go inside, and more than a dozen people followed hard behind. Xia Liansheng exercises every day, and his physical strength is no problem at all, but those sons and brothers are miserable, their family has declined, where is the opportunity to come to the palace, the pampered body is sweating profusely one by one, but he doesn't dare to shout tired, he can only keep snoring and panting, fortunately, the little eunuch is clever and slows down slightly, otherwise a few people would have been lost. What surprised Xia Liansheng was Liu Fang and Jia Zhu, although they seemed to be quite tired, but they didn't look like the ones behind them had never exercised at all, at most they looked like they were gasping twice because they had just walked a little fast. Xia Liansheng couldn't help but wonder, didn't the Red Chamber say that Jia Zhu was in poor health? I got frostbite when I took a test. There is no solution to this matter, but it has nothing to do with him anyway, and the more likely it is for others to be chosen, the safer it is for him.

Soon arrived at the gate of the queen mother's palace, the little eunuch left them behind and went in to report. A few people took advantage of this opportunity to quickly tidy up their clothes, so as not to be punished for disrespect. After a while, a grandmother who was about forty or fifty years old walked out and said to several people: "@##¥%......"

Lian's family has been in the northwest for so long, and he has also dealt with Inner and Outer Mongolia, so Xia Liansheng can still understand some of the meaning of this grandmother, but he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, so he pretended not to understand what the grandmother said, put on an innocent face of 'I didn't understand what you said', and stood in the crowd.

Obviously, most of this group of people were still somewhat prepared, several people stood in two rows, Xia Liansheng also hurriedly lined up, watching his movements, the remaining few people also came to their senses and hurriedly lined up. The grandmother smiled with satisfaction and motioned for them to come in.

A few people lined up and walked in, only to see a silver-haired old lady leaning in a couch, a few people didn't dare to look at it, and hurriedly knelt down to ask the queen mother for peace, this is in the carriage, the little eunuch explained.

The Queen Mother also spoke in Mongolian, so they got up and showed her, and then one of them asked a sentence or two, and for those who couldn't understand Mongolian, there was a grandmother next to her who translated it. After a while, let them go, still the little eunuch, and send a few people out the same way. Finally got out of the palace gate and sat in the carriage, several people were all paralyzed on the carriage at once, Shi Guangzhu of the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom was a super gentleman, he was also the 'big brother' of five or six people here, I saw him wiping the sweat on his face, and said happily: "Oh, the queen mother's momentum is really enough, I am scared to death, wait until I go back to my mother and say, I have seen the queen mother!" "Actually, none of these families already knew that they would see each other today, but they can't say that on the face.

But obviously some people really don't know, such as Jia Zhu, who is still sitting there with straight eyes, others have been slow for a long time and haven't seen him speak, these gentlemen have never had a deep friendship with Jia Zhu, and they don't know what's wrong, Xia Liansheng hurriedly pushed him and asked him how he was, this push seemed to wake him up, he looked around blankly, and saw that everyone was looking at him, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Seeing that he returned to normal, the group of gentlemen returned to their old ways, no one paid attention to Jia Zhu, they went to talk about each other, Jia Zhu had to turn to Xia Liansheng who pushed him, Xia Liansheng had to tell the truth: "Look at you sitting there for a long time without talking, what's the matter, scared?" ”

Jia Zhu smiled and said: "I don't be scared, I think the Queen Mother is the same as my grandmother said before, very kind and amiable." ”

Oh, yes, among the people who have seen the Queen Mother who are still alive, Jia Mu is also one. Xia Liansheng smiled and didn't speak, and the others snorted coldly in their hearts, thinking: It seems that only your grandmother has seen the Queen Mother, even if she does, what can she do?

A few days later, I heard that the Queen Mother saw them, and I remembered the old women in the past, and now only Jia Mu and the old lady of the Zhen family are still alive, the old lady Zhen is in Jiangnan, and occasionally she can enter the palace for the reason of seeing Concubine Zhen, Jia Mu has not had the opportunity to go to the harem for a long time, and she was called in by taking this opportunity. Mother Jia chatted with the Queen Mother for a while, and under the gift of the Queen Mother, she also met with her eldest granddaughter who was working in the Queen's Palace, and she was full of longing.

It didn't take long for the place of scholar to fall on Jia Zhu. Because it is the emperor's decree, even if you are not angry, there is no way, but everyone is curious about what Jia Mu said, so that Jia Zhu, who does not understand Mongolian, can be selected?

Mother Jia didn't say much, but praised her grandson for being diligent and studious, and being able to persevere in doing things, as soon as the Queen Mother heard this, she asked the emperor to summon the prince of the country to supervise the wine Lord Li and asked, Jia Zhu was really the best one in the shade, and immediately decided on Jia Zhu.

Why didn't Master Li mention Xia Liansheng? Needless to say? He has a daughter who is of age to be married, and he takes a fancy to Jia Zhu and Xia Liansheng, but when he chats with Li Ruhai, they don't pick up his stubble at all, on the contrary, Lord Jia chats with him very happily with the attitude of admiring scholars. It is always the right thing to pave the way for your future son-in-law. However, whether Lord Li's idea can come true, there are still some small twists and turns, which is a later story.
