Chapter 278: Candidates
Qin Feng also heard his father mention this, saying that the candidate had been selected, and it was estimated that the emperor would achieve good things in the near future.
This news made Qin Feng's whole person feel bad.
Although the other party has no foundation, she is just a girl from the local small county Ling family, and even if she enters the palace, it will not affect them. Besides, the girl's relatives were wiped out in that big flood, and the county commander was a good one, serving his official duties, and on the day of the big flood, he also took the long entourage to inspect the embankment to investigate the danger, and he didn't want to be swept away by the sudden torrent to break the embankment where he was standing, and the whole person was swept into the water, and no trace could be found. Before the county commander fell into the water, he also pushed his long follower to another section of the embankment that could still be barely supported, so that he was able to leave a small life to go back to report the news, and the central people came to search and rescue.
It is said that with such a strict and honest father, the children's temperament will not be too bad. Now there are only a young daughter and a young brother left in the family, and the sister and brother depend on each other for their lives, and life is very difficult. The relatives in my hometown are not very wealthy people, and a few cousins and cousins have a share of the family for a scholar to get ahead and finally get ahead, seeing that a good day is coming, I don't want a big flood to take away everyone's hope! The fields that were originally put into the name of the county order were also taken back by the masters, and the relatives of this family had no oil and water to fish, what could they do with their own little thin fields?
Originally, according to a little kinship, everyone could support each other and support the two sisters and brothers, but no matter how pitiful the two children were, there were also people who didn't have long eyes who had crooked ideas. Without him, my sister has read a few books and gone to school for a few days, and she has been influenced by the fragrance of her father's books since she was a child.
It is said that a lady of the eunuch family in distress, both parents in the family were killed, and there are no elders to call the shots, there are landlords who are willing to beg to fill the house, and those who can eat and drink in the future can also pull and help their brothers, which is also a good marriage, but the bad is bad, the landlord is already sixty! Half of his body is buried in the loess, how many days can he run? And the sons left by the first two wives of the landlord's family are all biological sons again, and the grandsons of the landlord are the eldest! It's older than the county girls, what do you say it's called? The most important thing is: the landlord's family reputation is very bad! There are many things to do in the neighbors of the fish and meat township to bully men and women, and there are countless concubines and aunts in the landlord's old rich family, and the daughter of the county order really entered the door, isn't that a foot into the fire pit? It is said that the landlord's first two wives were killed by these concubines!
The county girl definitely doesn't want to marry, but the situation is stronger than people, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with a seven or eight-year-old boy, where can she hide? Coupled with the shameless uncle who loves money and does not recognize relatives, the girl is really desperate, and she is not enough to escape with her younger brother, so she has to take an honest cousin who has a good relationship with his family, and goes to find the chief of the county order, explains the truth to the chief of the long suite, and begs the other party to save their sister and brother in front of their father.
It just so happened that Chang Sui was open-minded, and he had some contacts with the three sects and nine streams, and he also had a little incense with a certain steward of the Qin family's shop in the south, and his words revealed a thing or two. The shopkeeper's hometown was also seriously affected by the flood, and the relatives of the clan were separated a lot, until the beginning of the spring planting, I heard that the government has been sending people to the south to assist everyone to resume production, rice seeds and crop seeds are all provided free of charge, only after the harvest slowly repaid, one after another people returned, but there are nearly two or three percent of the people without news. Among them, there are only poor families left in the family.
The long entourage sighed with the shopkeeper, and went to think of picking up the sister and brother to take out to feed. The shopkeeper didn't take this matter to heart, but unexpectedly, a secret order of unknown meaning suddenly came down from above, so that the shopkeepers everywhere looked at the young lady of the eunuch family who was in distress, and if the family background was innocent, they didn't need to do anything, just report the news to the top.
The shopkeeper couldn't see through the mystery and reported it truthfully. I don't want to, someone from above really came to ask about this in person! It's the owner himself!
The rest of the story is not something that everyone can find out, and this matter did not make any waves, and it quietly regained its calm. In everyone's hearts, it is unanimously agreed that the owner wants to completely get rid of the identity of the merchant and ask for a young lady from the eunuch family for the son and nephew of the family! How can a family with both parents willing to marry a daughter? Only those who were defeated nodded their heads.
Now, the girl and her younger brother of the county order family have been secretly taken to the capital and arranged to live in a secret courtyard of the Qin family, waiting for people to come to the palace to see each other.
There were three other girls who had similar experiences to her, who were picked from different places. Several girls lived separately, were strictly forbidden to go out, and were not allowed to contact outsiders, but they were provided with good food and drink, and the grandmother taught them complicated rules and etiquette, which made the girls very uneasy, but they thought of the temptation and human conditions mentioned by the person who rescued them from the fire, if they were favored by the nobles, so far they would have no worries about food and clothing, and enjoy a lifetime, and the lives of the younger brothers/younger sisters/weak brothers and sisters in the family were guaranteed, but they could not be selected, and a reward of silver was indispensable, and there was a special person to escort them back to their hometowns, The girls were much more settled in their hearts and studied seriously.
In this regard, except for Qin Feng, the other three good brothers were all kept in the dark and had no idea.
Seeing that Chen Zixiu was still in good spirits and went to the martial arts hall to clean up and teach the new students, Shen Yifei was indifferent, and he was able to deal with the old oilmen with ease, that is, Chu Yunsheng was also changing his ways to please the emperor in the days of recuperation, and Qin Feng held his breath in his heart, and he was really unhappy!
"Humph! I'm going to vomit blood here! Those guys are having a good time! He pounded the table angrily.
"Don't be sad about talents, the women you are looking for this time are all knowledgeable and reasonable, and they will never make you embarrassed." Qin Dongsheng thought that the emperor had done something secret, and the relationship with the emperor was not a little closer, and the benefits would naturally be indispensable in the future, but he was calm and relaxed, and comforted his fried son. "These people have young siblings or weak brothers and sisters, and uncles who need to be taken care of by our family outside, and they dare not mess around."
Qin Feng rubbed his forehead with a headache, and said unwillingly: "That's just now, if they give birth to a dragon heir for the emperor......"
Qin Dongsheng frowned, and had to seriously think about the pros and cons.
