Chapter 327: The Draft
"Okay, I'll make my position clear to the Emperor." The old man suddenly smiled, he was very proud, and the children he cultivated all had their own strengths, which were remarkable, and they were not ashamed or lost.
"Grandfather, don't worry, no matter what time it is, Shangguan Mingzhu will never embarrass you."
Mingzhu smiled softly, she didn't expect that after doing so many things, the emperor was still a man of his word.
It seems to have given a blank holy decree, but what's the use, the emperor can crush the Shangguan family with one hand, that holy decree is actually useless, as long as the Shangguan family still has scruples, then they don't dare to use that holy decree to do anything, they can't do anything.
There is no conclusion on the matter, but Mingzhu is much more down-to-earth in her heart, she knows very well how she wants to choose, just like the last siege, although it is thrilling to die for a lifetime, but she is unusually calm and calm, because she knows that there is only one way to choose, but she is not afraid.
The New Year's Festival went smoothly, the family was also happy, Mingzhu always smiled and welcomed, and there was no unhappy and sad look.
The old lady didn't tell the news and hid it from her, for fear that she wouldn't be able to think about it.
Spring is coming, everything is beginning to grow, and the capital is still a little cold, but the preparation for the draft has also begun, and Mingzhu is also ready for a while.
Finally came to the day of the draft, the six girls of the Shangguan family had to be selected, there were three Mingzhu sisters on the side of the family, and there were also three girls on the side branch, but they were not a family, but the relationship with each other was not bad, and there were usually difficulties, and the Shangguan family was the first to lend a hand, and no one was left behind during the New Year's holidays. There can be no big and small snobbery, and the old lady is the most taboo about this.
Mingzhu was dressed in a powder blue palace dress and combed a full moon bun. does not wear beaded flowers on the head, only ties the hair with ribbons, this is the palace's requirement for draft women.
In the main hall, the old lady and the old man and other family members are there, and Jiaxuan and Jiazhen are also wearing the same clothes, the same dress, and no beaded jewelry. In his hand was a small package, which contained their tailor-made clothes and two sets of head and face jewelry. Purses for individual tips, etc.
"Are you ready?" Mingzhu forgot about her sisters and asked with a smile.
"Ready." Jia Zhen glanced at the silent Jia Xuan and answered in her place.
Mingzhu stepped forward and sorted out the buttons on Jiaxuan's sideburns and collar, "You have your choice." I can't say you're making the wrong choice. It's just that we chose different paths, maybe I was wrong, I think I want good things for you, but not necessarily what you want, don't blame me! ”
There are some things that may be too late not to say now.
Jia Xuan's eyes suddenly turned red and hugged Mingzhu, "Sister, you are my sister, no matter what time it is." I was wrong! I'm not as bold and thoughtful as you, I'm a selfish person. Stingy to pay, afraid of getting hurt but wanting to get something better, no matter when you are my sister, I keep in mind your kindness to me. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass my mother, I'm just unhappy, I always want to fight with you, sister, you let me go through it, even if it's a broken head, I'm willing! She secretly wiped away her tears.
After more than half a year of thinking and silence, she also thought a lot and understood a lot of things, she suddenly understood that this was the real world, not the fictional world in her dreams, every day was so real, so real that it made her heart ache.
She didn't know how others fit into this world, but she was in pain, and it hurt so much that she really understood how she should fit into this feudal society, not that happy and open society. She finally woke up from her dream.
"Your road will be more difficult in the future, remember not to do things that you regret, don't let your hands get blood, don't do things that exceed the bottom line, remember my words." Mingzhu patted her on the back.
The old lady sighed dejectedly, but said nothing after all.
"Jiazhen, you are the smartest, you know what you want, don't forget your original intention is the only thing I can give you, don't forget that we are sisters, no matter when it happens, we are all sisters, don't let outsiders look at the jokes of the Shangguan family, let people say that my Shangguan girl's upbringing is terrible." Mingzhu looked at Jia Zhen and smiled like a flower.
Jia Zhen was stunned for a moment, and nodded slowly, "I remember the eldest sister." ”
"Let's go."
When they arrived at the second gate, the other three families also came over with the girl, and when they saw the old man and Shangguan Hao, they hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye.
"Big brother, I'm sorry for your trouble. went to the palace to listen to your sister Mingzhu, she said that if you go east, go east, don't be smart, how many family girls will die in the palace every draft, and the emperor is just a compensation reward, and your life is not worth a few jade ruyi. Do you understand everything? "The old one is the patriarch.
"Yes." The girls all saluted in turn.
"Patriarch Grandpa, don't worry, with me, they will definitely be able to go home safely and have a good marriage." Mingzhu looked at the patriarch's grandfather with a smile.
"Hey! Good boy, you remember, no matter what time it is, the Shangguan family will always be your backing. The patriarch's grandfather looked at Mingzhu with a distressed expression.
"Sisters, let's go." Mingzhu looked up at the white clouds in the sky, the sky is excellent today, the sun is shining, and it is warm on the body, how good!
"Mingzhu, think about some family, take it easy in everything!" The old man's lips trembled.
Mingzhu looked back with a bright smile, with a clear and bright light in her eyes, "Well, don't worry, I know the severity." ”
"Get in the car." The old man paused, wiped his face and said nothing, feeling a little dazed in his heart.
Jiaxuan stared at Mingzhu, feeling that she was a little strange today, and she couldn't say anything wrong, but she was still very happy in her heart, and the eldest sister talked to her again, indicating that she still regarded herself as a sister, and she was very happy in her heart, and she didn't care about anything else.
"Sister Mingzhu, this is the recipe I found at home, saying that using this bath can make the skin white and delicate." Shangguan Yuling took out a piece of paper a little shyly.
"Really, you're welcome. Go back and try. Mingzhu knew they wanted to say that this might remove the scar, but she really didn't care about it.
But I'm still very touched in my heart, I haven't seen my cousin a few times, and I remember her things, this is love. They only see each other once or twice during the New Year's holidays.
"It's good if you don't dislike it." Shangguan Yuling smiled happily.
"Sister, don't you really care?" Jiaxuan also knew that the scar on Mingzhu's body couldn't be removed, and she felt uncomfortable, feeling that it was a pity, as if Meiyu had a flaw, which made people feel embarrassed.
"I don't care about this, you don't have to be careful, if I really cared about this, I would have cried at home. It may be a good thing for me, not a bad thing, but he's a meritorious achievement. (To be continued.) )
