"Brother Feng, you help me think about it, what does the prefect mean?" Xia Xiaodong thought about it and decided to ask for help.

"Well, I've thought about that too." Feng Shiqian looked relieved: "I think it may have something to do with Zhongguan Cai Zhong." ”

What kind of official is Zhongguan? Who is Cai Zhong? How can this person who can't hit the eight poles and has never heard of it at all relevant? Xia Xiaodong blinked, not understanding at all.

Fortunately, Feng Shiqian's next words explained Cai Zhong's identity: "Eunuch Cai had already left Beijing at the end of last month, and this time the route he took was the three southwestern provinces, and Xuannan was the last stop. ”

It turned out to be a eunuch.

Xia Xiaodong still doesn't understand.

"I'll tell you slowly." Feng Shiqian pulled out a fan with rosewood inlaid with luodian from his cuffs, and began to explain the painting, with the virtue of a storyteller.

In fact, it's not complicated, Eunuch Cai came down to draft a girl.

Hearing the word 'show girl', Xia Xiaodong didn't feel refreshed. Legendary Draft! Come on for real!

For Xia Xiaodong, things that are new are familiar to Feng Shiqian.

The draft has been passed down from the previous dynasty and has been popular for more than 200 years, and it is very familiar to both the official and the people. That is, a rookie like Xia Xiaodong who 'grew up in the Taoist temple', I don't know.

To be fair, the draft is still very lenient. Basically, it is elected every three years, and it will be appropriately postponed when there is a national funeral or something like that. The constituency is not as exaggerated as the national audition, and it is only three or four provinces at a time, so as not to disturb the people too much.

As for the girls who are running for election, the conditions are also very simple, there is no strong requirement that 'no marriage without drafting', only girls who are at least 15 years old in the families of civil and military officials and have not yet been engaged must run.

Xia Xiaodong listened to Feng Shiqian's narration and weighed these conditions for draft girls.

The background must be in the family of officials, that is, it is required to have a certain education.

When you reach the age of fifteen, you can use it if you choose it. The draft is such a thing, stripped of layers of beautiful aura, in fact, it is to select and sow seeds for stallions, it is too small to be a top matter.

If you haven't been engaged, you have to volunteer. If you don't want the girls in your family to go to the draft, you just need to make a family appointment early. If you have a shortcut to climb the dragon and the phoenix, you might as well wait, maybe you will enter the eyes of the emperor or the prince or the clan, and the family can follow the tide.

"According to the ancestral system, the primary selection is in each province, and those who are not shortlisted will naturally be returned to the Ning family." Feng Shiqian continued: "If you enter the siege, you have to go to Beijing to be a candidate. This is also a major event, and when the royal family does not need to say it, it is natural to choose carefully, and many nobles and officials in Beijing have taken the opportunity to pick a daughter-in-law. ”

"Sounds like a good thing." When Xia Xiaodong heard this, he didn't find any big problems. Although I think it's a bit like buying vegetables, it's picking one level at a time, the emperor picks first, then goes down, and finally picks the rest, and then goes back to each house to find each mother.

As the selected 'dish', that is, for girls, they are somewhat passive, but compared with the blind marriage and dumb marriage of the matchmaker of their parents, they are actually more active.

You don't see many palace fights and mansions in the palace house chaos, the show girls can highlight their tricks and show their skills, and it is difficult to say who will die in the end.5./books/19/19476/

The bewitching beauty is a broken sleeve.

"Of course there's something downside." Feng Shiqian stretched out his hand and tapped Xia Xiaodong's forehead, laughing at her for being too pure: "The female officials and palace maids in the palace should also be supplemented in the show girl." ”

It turns out that there are such additional conditions. Also, the prime minister's concierge seven-rank officer, the royal minion, was also a young lady at home.

No wonder the show girls want to fight around, climb up, they are people, they are stepped on, and if they don't make trouble, they will become slaves.

The evil imperial power.

"However, with the official position of Xia's commander, if you go to run, you will not be elected as a palace maid anyway." Feng Shiqian saw that Xia Xiaodong's expression was not quite right, and hurriedly comforted: "Generally speaking, only those whose father's and brother's official positions are below the seventh rank can be palace maids. ”

"Moreover, there are still people who would rather be palace maids than enter the palace." Feng Shiqian added again.

The law is nothing more than human affection, and the rules must be enforced. Although the draft system is there, there are some unspoken rules behind it.

"So what exactly does the rumor have to do with the draft?" Xia Xiaodong asked.

"Of course I forced you to run." Feng Shiqian said leisurely.

I'll go around it, how can this cause and effect relationship be bypassed?

"I don't know how you offended Governor Zhang, but he looks like he's going to have trouble with you." Feng Shiqian pointed out the crux of the problem.

He probably blamed me for my son's serious illness. Xia Xiaodong thought to herself.

"But the prefect and your father have their own duties, and he doesn't want to tear his face openly, so he wants to find a way to drag you into ......, well, not a good situation."

He still wants to reap the benefits of the Suzhou stone, of course he doesn't want to tear his face with my father. Xia Xiaodong kept annotating Feng Shiqian's words in his heart. I suddenly realized in my heart that it was probably because of Suzhou Stone that Governor Zhang wanted to discredit his father, maybe he could do it well, and he could grab some share from his father.

"It's a good idea to let you go to the draft." Feng Shiqian looked at Xia Xiaodong's face and continued: "With your appearance, passing the primary election is a sure thing, and you will definitely be able to enter Beijing." ”

Is this a round of praise for me? Xia Xiaodong touched his face and asked, "But according to what you said before, even if you go to the draft, how can you not become a palace maid or something." Why did he bother with this? ”

"You'll find out when you enter the capital. Even if it is only drafted within the three provinces, two or three hundred people can always be selected. It can be said that Xi Shi is like a cloud and Zhaojun is like rain, and it will be difficult to come out when the time comes. ”

Feng Shiqian knocked the folding fan in his hand on the palm of his other hand: "Moreover, in addition to the appearance of the show girls themselves, there are many factors that are very complicated!" ”

I don't need to say this, I've seen a lot. Xia Xiaodong smiled slightly, obviously not frightened.

"Let's put it this way," Feng Shiqian said quickly: "If you can overcome obstacles and temporarily emerge, whether you can enter the palace as a concubine, or marry the prince as a side concubine or even a concubine, then Zhang Bo'an, as the prefect of Suzhou, has his own merits." ”

Xia Xiaodong nodded when he heard this. This person is easy to understand, just like the Jinshi have a room master and a teacher, but in fact, it is just an invigilator, but you have to be recognized as a teacher, and from then on you should be a great god to offer, otherwise you will be said to 'deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors'. In the same way, as long as it is a show girl who goes out of Xuannan Province, she probably has to accept the 'recommendation' of the prefect Zhang.

"Then it's good that I didn't choose it on purpose." Xia Xiaodong said with a smile. It's not easy to choose, but it's always done.
