Chapter 355: The Draft
The Queen Mother got the information she wanted, so she asked Liu Yunxiang to go back to rest.
On the second day, the decree of the draft had been issued. This time, because of the tight schedule, the scope of the draft is not very wide. They are all daughters or relatives of officials of the fourth grade or above. The age is between fifteen and eighteen.
Yun Xiang didn't take it seriously, because she consciously thought that these things had nothing to do with her. And she didn't plan to put her hand in the emperor's harem. Also, my fifteenth birthday is approaching.
People on the side of Daxia don't celebrate birthdays every year, and children don't celebrate until they reach adulthood. Fifteen years old is very important for girls, and this birthday indicates that they can already get married and have children.
Yunxiang's ceremony is very grand. After all, she is now the county lord, and she is about to become the princess.
The Queen Mother personally came to be a guest for her, and Sister Mei, the British Duchess's celebrator, volunteered to be a deacon. Qi Shanshan made a rejection. The eldest princess came to make a compliment to Yunxiang. The musician is the second princess who is proficient in musical instruments.
This specification is not ordinarily high, and there must be a lot of people coming. Yun Xiang's face was calm, her posture was elegant, and she had a faint smile hanging from beginning to end. She knows that this is the most important moment for a woman besides the big wedding, so she also cherishes it.
Today's Yun Xiang secretly took out a crystal nucleus video recorder, which was only the size of a powder. She quietly found a suitable place, adjusted the angle, and recorded the real process.
Most of the guests who came today were friends and family. There are also some colleagues of Liu Chengshuang and the two brothers of the Liu family.
When the ceremony is over, the dignitaries leave, and relatives and friends stay to have a feast.
Yun Xiang wore a gold silk brocade dress. Holding the lily bun, the face is slightly powdered, like a fairy descending to earth. You don't need to speak, and you are also the center of everyone's attention.
Yunlian has been married to a wife, and she has more mature charm, and the two sisters are even more admirable when they stand together.
"Yun Xiang. Some people from my hometown came today. Yun Lian was a little helpless, she really didn't like these villains who obviously had some power. Before, their own family was cold to them, and they were afraid of their power, so they were very honest. Although the people of the British government have been in contact with them. But the combination of grace and power did not give them any chance.
Yun Xiang smiled faintly, "I seized the opportunity this time, how could I not come to get some benefits?" You can rest assured. It's okay. ”
These people are just clowns. It's not worth the extra effort at all.
"They will speculate, and they will probably be looking forward to your courtesy. You see, the eldest uncle and the second uncle's family are here. But my grandfather and grandmother didn't come. ”
Yun Xiang nodded and looked over, "I guess I'm afraid that I won't be able to save face." These old couples learned a lot last time. Brother Da Yang has finally given his strength. ”
"If he doesn't make a difference, how can he sit in the seat of the county magistrate?" Liu Yunlian shook her head, to put it bluntly, she still saw the benefits.
"Who's that?" Yun Xiang pointed to a ******** not far away. With a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman, "It can't be the Liu family, right?" ”
Yun Lian glanced at Yun Xiang. explained, "That's not my aunt!" Is that Shen Wan! You don't remember? But it's been a big change. ”
Yun Xiang nodded, "I'm not impressed with them anymore. Even when they were in the old mansion before, they didn't come back often, did they? ”
"Well, my aunt was married well, so I didn't come back much. He never ignores us, and only better with generosity. Yun Lian didn't bother to say anything about them, "Since you don't remember, don't pay attention to it." If it weren't for your good day, these people wouldn't even be able to get in. ”
Zhou was helpless in front of this eldest sister-in-law at this time. She didn't expect that these people would come all the way to the capital! They have all been cut off! It's really hard to like it's so hot right now.
This Liu Jin'er patted Zhou's ass for a while, and kept saying that she didn't know when she broke off her relationship, and she didn't sign it, so she was a real relative.
Zhou's attack is not good in front of so many people, at most, he is just a little cold. However, the British duchess saw some truths and knew some things in the past, relying on the elders, so Liu Jin'er shut up.
Liu Jin'er didn't plan to leave like this, she just kept her mouth shut and waited until everyone left, and then Zhou said, "Brother and sister, are we all living in your house today?" ”
"We can't live in our house." Zhou said lightly, "You better go to the guest house." ”
"I can't go with the big room and the second room!" Liu Jin'er shook her head, "I'll tell you the truth, I took Wan'er all the way to the capital, and I have something to ask for." ”
It's even less popular to ask for something! Zhou slandered in his heart, but he didn't let go, "Our family doesn't have any ability, if you really have something, go to the British Mansion and the Duke of Hubei to ask for it." ”
"Don't! This is a small matter to you! Liu Jin'er grabbed Zhou's hand, "I want Wan'er to participate in the draft." ”
Yun Xiang happened to hear this sentence when she entered the door, so she glanced at Shen Wan, who had been silent. Shen Wan's appearance can only be regarded as average, and she has not received education in etiquette and rules, so even if she is running, it is impossible to be selected, unless the Queen Mother gives her family face.
But why? Let this person, who has never crossed paths, occupy the face of his family? Yun Xiang sneered in her heart, but she didn't refuse, "Mother, I heard that Cousin Yunxia is going to participate in the draft, so let's send someone to the Guogong Mansion." ”
Liu Jin'er was sensational for a long time, and seeing that the family was unmoved, she could only leave with Shen Wan. When Shen Wan was leaving, she glanced at Yun Xiang deeply, and she couldn't see her joy or anger, but Yun Xiang didn't like it deeply.
Undoubtedly, this is another one with deep thoughts and many eyes!
"...... over at the British Mansion"
Yun Xiang shook her head, "Who is Liu Yunxia?" Definitely won't agree. ”
Speaking of this Liu Yunxia, Yunxiang was also convinced. The marriage was decided before, and she has been pushed three times until now. She is Zhao Xian's cousin, more than three years older than Zhao Xian, in fact, she has exceeded the age of the draft, but she has the cheekiness to ask the British public to beg the queen mother.
The Queen Mother also wanted to support the Liu family in her heart, so she nodded and agreed. This Liu Yunxia can at least be a concubine. It can be regarded as really picking and choosing for a long time and finding a good way out.
It's just Liu Yunxia's character...... If the Queen Mother is here, she can still live a nourishing life in the harem. If the Queen Mother is not there one day, it is estimated that her good days will come to an end.
Liu Jin'er took Shen Wan to the British duchess, and the British duchess actually left someone behind. Yun Xiang was also stunned when she heard the news. I really can't guess what the British duchess thinks. He also threw it down for the time being. (To be continued.) )
