Draft
After Jinwen went home, he felt empty, and as soon as Wang Yuanshan went out, only Xiao Hei was at home with her.
She didn't dare to go outside alone, especially picking vegetables in the field, etc., and she had to find a companion before going.
After a few days, Chunhua came to Jinwen to play, Chunhua is now fourteen years old, and there are a few families to kiss, but the big strong mother thinks that her son has been requisitioned, this girl can't marry like Chunye, and plans to wait for this wave of conscription to pass, and then start to look at people, if it is set next year, it will be good to get married.
The people who play together in the village are married, and the people who are married are married, Chunhua likes to come to Jinwen to play, Jinwen also likes to listen to her, she doesn't go out much, you can listen to Chunhua talk about the news in the village.
Chunhua said that everyone is rumoring that the court is appointing a prince, and that there is a draft girl again, and that the show girl will have a chance to be the crown princess and so on.
There are school-age daughters in the surrounding villages, and they feel that they are good-looking, and they don't want their daughters to go far to the capital, so they hurriedly look at each other and marry their daughters.
There are so many women in the country, how many of them can be selected? It's so stupid to be repentant of marriage.
At the end of the year, Chunhua said enviously: "Awen, you are so good-looking and literate, if you choose, you will definitely be selected." ”
Jin Wen smiled, "There are many literate women in the world, what am I?" Besides, the crown princess is not just beautiful. ”
Countrymen don't know anything, they always think that they can be the princess if they are beautiful enough, this prince is concubine, not only for the prince, but also for the help of the mother's family, now that the prince is newly established, it is the time when he needs to have power, the princess is related to the help that his mother's family can give, which is such a simple thing.
She didn't explain to Chunhua, anyway, it has nothing to do with herself, the draft of the Great Shang Dynasty stipulates that women from good families in the folk are between twelve and fourteen years old, unless they are famous and exceptional.
I'm fifteen this year.,If the election starts next year.,I'll be sixteen.,No matter how you can't count it.,Listening to Chunhua talking about the neighboring villages of the village.,Anecdotes about the draft.,I said some of the draft stories I saw in the book before.,The two of them said it was lively.。
More than half a month after Wang Rui left home, a master and two errand servants came to the village, and when they found the village Zheng's house, everyone looked like that, and they all talked about the announcement that it was estimated that the draft was coming out.
The three of them talked about leaving the village for a long time at the village's house, and sure enough, the village sounded the gong the next day and went door to door to inform the villagers that there were 12 to 14-year-old girls at home, and they were going to be candidates for the draft girl.
Just finished military service, some families sent away their sons, and now they are going to draft again, and it is likely to send out a daughter again, for a while the people in the village are boiling, and the village is solemnly saying that "criticizing the court is going to prison", everyone only dares to complain in a low voice, no one dares to publicly insult, and some think that their daughters may be selected, they are secretly wiping tears.
Wang Yuanshan went home and Jinwen sighed, fortunately, Awen is fifteen years old, and the Shuozhou occupied by Beirong has not been recovered, and the imperial court is not busy fighting, but still thinking about beauty pageants.
Jin Wen also felt that the imperial court was too mediocre, how many high-ranking officials would be aware of the people's feelings?
But the little people, it would be good to be able to live in peace.
Unexpectedly, in the evening, Murazheng came to Wang Yuanshan's house, and when he entered the door, he saw Jinwen washing in the yard, and said with emotion: "Yuanshan, your family's Awen's appearance is really top-notch." ”
"Look at what you said, your daughter with red apricots and watery spirits. It's rare to come to our house, are you in trouble? Come into the house and sit? Wang Yuanshan said politely.
"Yes, if you have something, you won't go into the house, just talk about it here, say a few words and I'll leave." Mura Zheng said, walked into the courtyard, and took a few steps closer to Wang Yuanshan, "I don't know how to say this matter." I know about your Awen and Huzi, but the county magistrate, I don't know how to know that your Awen is a good talent, and I asked the master last time that she must be drafted. ”
Muramasa's words did not avoid taboos, and with a bang, the lid of the pot in Jinwen's hand fell: "According to the rules of this dynasty, women who have passed fourteen will no longer run for election, didn't you tell them my age?" ”
"I said, how can I not say it, I will sue them as soon as I hear it, but the master said that it is okay to look good and be more than one or two years old, and besides, I will have to screen another batch from the county to Yunzhou, and I will come back if I am not selected." Muramasa added comfortingly.
"But Awen and my Huzi have ......"
"It's not that they haven't decided yet, everyone in the village knows that before they can decide, Huzi enlisted in the army." Mura Zheng interrupted Wang Yuanshan's words, "Yuanshan, I'm just a talker, someone from the county will come to pick up people in two days, and I don't know who in the county has seen your family...... Alas...... I'll go first, let's go, you're busy, you're busy. ”
"Didn't you want the people from the village to go together?" Jin Wen stopped him and asked.
"Oh, people say, you don't have to wait for the village to choose, live in the county's show girl hall first, that ...... I'll go back first. After Muramasa finished speaking, he staggered and left.
"Daddy......" Jinwen turned his head and looked at Wang Yuanshan who was also stunned, he had never been far away, how could it suddenly be a thunderbolt on a sunny day, what could Dad do?
This is an official errand, even if she is still Miss Han, she can't escape the fate of the draft.
Don't worry, there is always a way, the draft is extremely strict, don't worry, she took a deep breath and asked herself not to panic.
"Arwen, this ...... What can I do? Wang Yuanshan was in a hurry, but he didn't know who to go to, could it be that he had just sent his son away, and he was going to send Awen away? The village is saying that Awen is designated to be elected, so Awen will definitely be selected, how does the county know that there is an Awen in Wangjia Village?
Jin Wen quieted down, had a vague idea in his heart, and comforted Wang Yuanshan and said: "Dad, there are so many people, I will definitely not be able to choose if I go, don't worry, I know how to do this." ”
"Awen, Dad is just thinking about why he suddenly wants you to go, everyone in the village knows that you and Huzi are going to get married."
As soon as Jin Wen heard this, his mind suddenly remembered Ah Song who he saw at the entrance of the village that day, with such a resentful gaze, the village is Ah Song's eldest brother, will there be anything wrong with them? What happened in the bamboo forest that day, she originally decided to hide it to the death, but now she ......
Jin Wen intermittently, shyly and angrily told Wang Yuanshan about the incident of Ah Song that day, Wang Yuanshan immediately became angry after hearing it, and wanted to rush out of their house to say that if it was really bad for the village to make a good comment, he would go to the village to praise this theory.
Jin Wen hurriedly stopped: "Dad, it's useless for you to say this, people say that they are acting on orders, if it is really something they did, there is nothing wrong with them on the surface." If it spreads, that Ah Song...... He's a scoundrel...... I'm ......" Jin Wen said intermittently, "Brother Huzi asked me not to talk about this anymore, I originally wanted to put up with it, but now I tell you, I just want you to pay attention." ”
Wang Yuanshan was persuaded by Jin Wen to calm down, whether it was their revenge or not, but in front of him, Ah Wen was going to be sent to the draft, if he was not selected, it was okay, if he was selected, what would happen when Wang Rui came back?
"If Huzi knows, if you choose...... Hey......"
"Dad, I won't choose it, don't worry, I have a way." Jin Wen made up his mind in his heart, and had a good way to lose the election, since he wanted her to go to the draft, it was better to go to the county as soon as possible, and come back as soon as possible.
On the second day, Wang Yuanshan sent her to the gate of the county government in Yunyang County, and he didn't know who to find, and said to the porter at the door, and the porter didn't dare to slack off when he heard that it was a show girl, so he hurriedly reported in, and after a while, someone greeted the door, and took fifty taels of silver to Wang Yuanshan, Wang Yuanshan said repeatedly, "I'm not selling my daughter, I'm going to take her home in a few days", Jinwen hurriedly waved his hand and asked him not to say anything, and the man couldn't help but say, and dropped the silver and took Jinwen in.
Jinwen knew that the show girl would arrange a special venue to live in an alternate venue, but she was taken directly to the county government's back house, which made her a little surprised, thinking that the night was long and dreamy, since she had to do her hands and feet, it was better to live in the backyard of the county government, but there was more reason for her to live.
In the evening, after dinner, Jin Wen found that he had arranged a maid for himself to serve.
When Jin Wen went to the inner room, he felt that it was too dark, and wanted to take the oil lamp in the outer room, but the maid naturally refused to let her do it, and hurriedly brought it in the outer room, Jin Wen watched her come in at the door of the inner room, and said politely, "It's really troublesome sister, let me come by myself", while reaching over to pick it up, the maid even said that she would come.
"Ah" screamed in pain, the oil lamp was not held steadily, the oil splashed on Jinwen's hand, and two big blisters immediately appeared, the maid was frightened, her face was a little pale, and she hurriedly went out to get the medicine.
Jin Wen looked at the blisters on his hands, although it was very painful, but he still smiled happily, the show girl asked for a flawless body, and when she took the medicine, she would use the blister to puncture it, and she would definitely leave a scar on her hand, and she would naturally be defeated.
If she deliberately made a scar when she was at home, she could see if it was a new scar or an old scar when she looked back, and it was a big sin to defy the emperor's order.
Now she is already waiting for the county government to be a candidate, and it is the county government's maid who accidentally waited for herself to be injured, which will leave a scar, I am afraid that the county lords are more nervous than her to hide it, that is, the scar on her hand is not good-looking, she sighed secretly, I believe that Brother Huzi will not dislike it.
Jin Wen thought about it, and he didn't feel the pain in his hands anymore.
The maid hurried back after a while, bringing an old doctor, who looked at his hands and said, "It looks scary, but as long as you take the medicine well, you should be okay, don't worry about leaving scars, this is the old man's scald ointment, just apply it sooner or later." The doctor took a white porcelain box and handed it over, Jinwen opened it and smelled a faint fragrance of herbs, but it was not unpleasant.
