In this world, some people rejoice and some people are sad. Midsummer came so menacingly in front of everyone. Sheng Poria and Sheng Honey Fragrance prepared for half a year. Before the primary election, the old lady Sheng Sufeng even wrote a few handwritten letters to officials at all levels in Luzhou. Although the meaning of the letter was not explicitly stated, it was clear in the hearts of officials at all levels.

On the day of the primary election, the palace will send an official of the Ministry of Rites and two female officials to the place to accompany the local officials to select the show girls. These people have to be dealt with. is the third lady, who has always been stingy, and she took out two sets of pure gold heads, ready to bribe the two female officials.

Although Sheng Poria has never been willing to study hard, under the training of the eldest lady in the past half a year, she has surpassed most of the ladies in Luzhou. It's just that whether she is better than Sheng Mixiang or not, it is unknown. Early in the morning of this day, the two girls of the Sheng family, accompanied by their mothers, went to the government to participate in the draft.

Sheng Xue saw that she got up early in the morning, obediently in front of the dresser, Lily and Mint groomed her one after the other, Lily asked with a smile: "Miss, don't you go to the mansion today to join in the fun?" Sheng Xue saw that her expression had not changed, and said lazily: "Instead of going to watch the draft, I might as well read a few more account books." ”

Mint nodded on the side and said, "Speaking of which, even I guessed who the show girls would choose this year." It's nothing more than bribing adults, as well as those local famous families in Luzhou. Lily retorted: "How do you know, there are more than forty young ladies who participated in this election, and only fifteen people can be brought into the palace in the end." ”

Mint rolled her eyes speechlessly, and then said, "Anyway, the slave maid just knows that the two young ladies in our Sheng Mansion will definitely be able to choose." The second lady has no talent, but she will definitely be selected, who made her grandfather the governor of Luzhou, that is the biggest parent official in Luzhou. Will his granddaughter be left behind? ”

Lily nodded approvingly, indeed the eldest lady will definitely take advantage of this relationship. Mint continued to chatter: "Although I don't want to admit it, but those young ladies of the right age in Luzhou, it is true that the third lady in our house is top-notch, if she can't be chosen, it will really become a joke." ”

Sheng Xue sat there quietly and listened to the girls' chatter, but this was indeed the case. The process of the annual election is actually very strict, not only to examine the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting of the young ladies who are participating in the election, but also to investigate their family background. In addition to this, both the etiquette and the body are places to be carefully examined.

However, everything becomes fragile in the face of interests. Sheng Xuejian also knew that the result would be like this. It's just that Sheng Poria and Sheng Mixiang stepped into the palace gate, is it really the best destination for them? Sheng Xuejian once thought about making a move, but her current ability is really not enough, and she can only take one step at a time to see what happens in the future.

In this life, between the second room and the long room and the three parties, if people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if people offend me, then they can only cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Sheng Xue thought like this, and the draft in Luzhou was in full swing.

"Miss, it's all dressed up for you." Lily put a bead hairpin on Sheng Xuejian and said with a slight smile. Sheng Xue touched her sideburns, and her voice was soft: "Then let's go, let's go and choose some clothes for Xue Han to make clothes today." ”

Although the younger brother will be born in about three months, Sheng Xuejian is already preparing everything that his younger brother needs. A few days ago, I asked the little shopkeeper to collect the best white jade from all over the world and polish the longevity lock for my younger brother. Now he is preparing high-quality clothes for Sheng Xuehan, waiting for his younger brother to be born and have the most comfortable clothes to wear.

Lily and Mint were no longer surprised, and persuaded with a smile: "Miss has eaten something in the house now and then leaves." Sheng Xuejian shook her head and said, "It's better to eat outside, my mother's appetite hasn't been very good lately, so let the nurse stew some light soup for my mother to drink." "I don't know why, this is seven months pregnant, and Bai occasionally vomits.

Sometimes when asked about some greasy, it is even more disgusting. Sheng Xue was afraid that a little greasy would make her mother uncomfortable. I don't even eat in Beiyuan, I often eat outside. These days, the Bai family is often pale, and Sheng Xuejian can't help but worry. The three of them left the Sheng Mansion and went straight to Hesheng Street.

This street is lined with a variety of shops. In order to make clothes for his younger brother, Sheng Xuejian specially asked Shopkeeper Li to buy a batch of fine fabrics in Shengjing and send them to Laifeng Pavilion. Sheng Xue saw that the business in Shengjing was doing quite well, and Shopkeeper Li had opened eight branches in Shengjing, and there was a great momentum to continue to open more branches.

There was also good news from the little uncle Bai Wuye. Although he is still guilty, he has found a precious medicinal herb for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother has a headache every day. Now that I have used the medicinal materials that Bai Wuye found, I haven't had a headache for a month. The queen mother was overjoyed, and the emperor was also very happy, so she rewarded Bai Wuye with a lot of things.

It's just that Cheng is very dissatisfied with the fact that Bai Wuye has been away for a long time, and the days are getting more and more leisurely. Once when the concubine was admiring the moon in the emperor's garden, she faintly mentioned that Bai Wuye still owed the life of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who knew that the emperor actually said: "He can make the queen mother relieve so much pain, naturally it is a great credit." ”

The emperor is a well-known filial son, and the concubine understood from him that the emperor may not plan to convict Bai Wuye of a serious crime in the future. So on the second day, he sent the news out of the palace and told his father, Prime Minister.

The angry prime minister is sick at home, and on the surface it seems that he is chilled because of the emperor's actions, but in fact, there is a bigger plan behind it. In the study, the man in black reappeared. The prime minister asked lightly: "Is there any news from Luzhou?" ”

The man in black replied: "The Bai family has never revealed half a point, only knowing that she and the princess were playmates when they were young, and that thing is very likely in her hands." ”

The prime minister frowned, and said impatiently: "Since this is the case, force her to hand it over, if she refuses to hand it over, then let this secret be a secret forever!" The prime minister's tone was calm and ruthless. The man in black nodded yes and quietly stepped back.

In the study, only Cheng was left in the middle hall facing a landscape, and if you look closely, you can clearly see the gloom in his eyes, as well as the cold and vicious.

Whoever dares to block the path of the second prince will only end up dead. Within a few days, the results of the general election were compiled, and the show girls who had been selected had officials come to the door to deliver the stickers in person. Naturally, the Sheng family received two posts. When the old lady saw it, she couldn't close her mouth even more happily. (To be continued.) )
