"Who are those two people?" Since everyone has bamboo sticks, they will be sent down soon, but instead of being busy asking, Miss Qin Si instead inquired about the two noble ladies with flamboyant styles.

"The one who wears the red fox skin," the girl in purple was happy to show off the superiority of the first comer: "It's the leader of the Ye Kingdom." This time, Daye sent sixteen Teng concubines over, she was the youngest daughter of King Youxian, and she was named the county lord. ”

"The county lord is also here to be a concubine?" Miss Qin Si felt that her head was a little insufficient. Although the title of county lord is a little worse than that of princess and county lord, it is also quite noble, her father is still the right virtuous king, can you use it to come to Daqi.

"Oh, she has been determined to marry the emperor since she was a child." The girl in purple pointed to the guide and indicated that the 'emperor' referred to Zhou Jianhong, the emperor of Great Qi.

Miss Qin's face twitched unconsciously. Although Zhou Jianhong's classmate is 'famous', and even he doesn't think it's inappropriate to be his concubine, I heard that even the county lord has come to compete for the position, and he has been determined to do something since he was a child, and he always feels weird in his heart.

"That one," the purple-clothed girl pointed to the beautiful girl who came back a little farther away, "It was sent by the Qingning clan." The leader is the daughter of the deputy patriarch, called Qing Yu. The Qingning clan sent these five people, and they were all very powerful, and they all listened to Qingyu's words. ”

Qingning? Haven't heard of it. Miss Qin Si found that she had changed places, and her advantage of being 'well-informed' was immediately gone, and her heart was empty, and she didn't even bother to say anything - the more she talked, the more she seemed to know nothing.

The purple-clothed girl didn't pay attention to the change in Qin Si's demeanor, and still introduced it casually. It turns out that the Qingning people occupy a large area in the southwest of Daqi, which is quite a bit of a country within a country.

Although they paid grain and tribute every year, Qingning did not agree to send officials to Daqi, and there were still some conflicts with the local government from time to time. In the middle of the Great Qi Dynasty, there was already a rumor that the Qingning people would be treated as bandits who occupied the mountains and wanted to be exterminated.

This time Emperor Qi's wedding, the Qingning clan sent their daughter as a concubine, probably hoping to blow the pillow wind so that the independent kingdom of Qingning could continue.

It's Daye again, it's Qingning again, Qin Si Girl sighed and asked, "How many concubines Teng sent over this time?" ”

Always know how many opponents there are.

"There are more than 40 of them now." The girl in purple replied, "I guess there will be more people coming, but there are not many, there can be sixty or seventy in total." ”

Ahem. Miss Qin Si and Xia Xiaodong coughed in unison.

Sixty or seventy, this is really demanding of Zhou Jianhong's dragon horse spirit.

After breakfast, not long after returning to the courtyard, two middle-aged women came over. One is surnamed Qian, and the other is surnamed He.

Grandma He was in charge of etiquette, and the person surnamed Qian was the head of the courtyard, always with a mask-like smile on his face, calling Chu Ji to one place, and after a brief self-introduction, he gave each person three bamboo sticks.

It is said that it is a bamboo stick, it is better to call it a bamboo stick more appropriately, about half a foot long, painted in the color of vermilion, the workmanship is quite good, the tail end is painted with a pale yellow cloud pattern, and the middle section is engraved with the two seal characters of 'Siyi'.

The purpose of the bamboo skewer is very simple, it is similar to a chip.

It turned out that the inner courtyard of the Siyi Pavilion was specially used as the residence of the concubines sent from all over the place for a while.

Where there are people, there is naturally right and wrong.

For his future concubines, Emperor Qi's strategy is that if there is a right or wrong, they must be guided first. Therefore, there are two sign-up offices in the Siyi Pavilion.

The so-called point sign, as the name suggests, is the place to count the bamboo sticks, in fact, it is the place where the concubines can fight formally, and the winner can get the loser's bamboo stick, which is witnessed by a special person.

And there are two kinds of fighting: civil and military. As for the text, draw questions to answer, the one who answers wins, and both sides answer to make a draw. As for the martial arts, it is also very simple, it is to push the hand for the play. Of course, if both parties agree, it is okay to fight directly.

Pushing hands is not Tai Chi pushing hands, but the simplest kind - the two sides stand about two feet apart, push each other with their palms, and whoever moves their feet first loses.

"If you don't have a bamboo stick, go to the Yuantian Pavilion, where someone else greets you. The top 20 people with the largest number of bamboo sticks in their hands can give gifts. Steward Qian said a few words and walked away.

"Yuantiankan!" Someone among Chu Ji had obviously heard the news in advance, and someone exclaimed: "Wouldn't it be that if you lose three games, you will have to go to the Yuantian Pavilion." ”

"What does the Yuantian Pavilion say?" Someone asked right now.

"If you go to the Yuantian Pavilion, you won't have a chance to meet Emperor Qi." The previous Chu Ji's face turned pale, and he sighed: "It's almost like the cold palace in the palace, and the women in it can't enter the palace, and most of them are used to reward people." ”

Also, why would you be in such trouble?

Xia Xiaodong can understand it, this is clearly a Gu cultivation technique, let these sixty or seventy concubines fight on their own, probably in order to avoid fighting too fiercely and with too much internal friction, they also set up a name, and then select the top twenty.

But what does it mean to give a gift? Ma Dan, do you still want to grab the qualification to give gifts? We can't send it yet.

Steward Qian has already left, and the remaining Grandma He has a very good demeanor, but she looks very difficult to speak, Xia Xiaodong has countless doubts in her heart, and she has to stuff it in her stomach first.

Fortunately, Ning Junwu came soon.

I don't know what method he used, but he really found Daoist Xuanyuan at the request of Xia Xiaodong.

After all, the Siyi Pavilion is not a big mansion gate, but a building that receives guests from Siyi, and the entry and exit are much more casual, and enough silver is stuffed for the people outside, and Ning Junwu and the others are even arranged in a very good open mansion.

Daoist Xuanyuan looked red, and when he saw Xia Xiaodong, he joked: "Aha, Nanxia is here." ”

Southern Xia? What's the new name?

"Don't you know?" Daoist Xuanyuan looked at Xia Xiaodong's expression, and said with a smile: "I don't know who released the rumor, it is said that among the women in the Siyi Pavilion, the most top-notch ones are surnamed Xia, one is Xia Danfeng of Daye, and the other is Xia Xiaodong of Dachu, which are called Northern Xia and Southern Xia respectively. ”

Southern Xia and Northern Xia, but also Xi Shi and Dong Shi, Xia Xiaodong's face darkened, but he found that this was a good entry point, and said with a smile: "Don't come to the Taoist unharmed." Have you heard the story of Shih Tzu? ”

"Shih Tzu?" Xuanyuan Dao had a pair of round little eyes, and turned around twice on his fat face, but he still didn't expect this to be anyone.

"This is also what the Taoist chief remembered when he said the word 'Nanxia'." Xia Xiaodong smiled and told the story of Xi Shi.

Daoist Xuanyuan is not a stupid person, his eyes turned on the faces of Ning Junwu and Xia Xiaodong, and he suddenly realized that "Miss Xia, is this going to be the Xi Shi of Da Chu?" ”
