After Sakura and Empress Tumen Baoyin settled in Moling Town, they lived in a simple place and had little contact with the people in the village.

Among the three, Tumen Baoyin's mother and daughter rarely go out, but Sakura often leaves, because the emperor gave them this house, and gave them another hundred acres of good paddy fields, they are landlords, and they can't even recognize their own tenants, Sakura needs to go out often, with their own stewards, one by one, to recognize the threshold of their own tenants. The tenants came to visit the owner, and most of them were the eldest lady.

Although there are also Tatar people who work as a farmer, the Tatars are still mainly nomadic herders, and Sakura is also familiar with nomadic herding, so she needs to know more about farming. Early this morning, Sakura was about to go down to the field again to learn some knowledge and matters about the four seasons of farming from the croppers, and as soon as she led the horse to the front door, Yang Lijie led two village servants to the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Lijie gave up his hand again and again, with a smile on his face: "Ouch, Miss Xie is going out?" Congratulations, congratulations, hahahaha......"

Sakura took a look at it and really recognized it, because Arita had to pay taxes, so she was not very familiar with the others in this village, but she had dealt with this lieutenant a few times. Sakura hurriedly said, "It turned out to be Uncle Yang, congratulations?" ”

Yang Lijie said with a smile: "That's the case, there are draft girls in the palace, and it is not easy to pick 800 out of 100,000 people!" If this is chosen, ten of them will have to be made a concubine by the emperor, and once they become the imperial concubine, they will be very rich. Miss Xie has such a look and character, she must be selected, for others, it is a draft girl, and for Miss Xie, you are clearly choosing a concubine, so uncle congratulates you first. ”

Sakura was stunned and said, "The emperor's draft girl? ”

A village servant next to him interjected: "That's right! Anyone between the ages of 13 and 16 who is not married ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked aside by Yang Lichang, and opened his mouth to scold: "What kind of mouth do you have!" ”

Unexpectedly, this sentence has been heard by Sakura, Sakura pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Uncle Yang." To tell you the truth, he is 18 years old this year. ...... non-conformity"

"Yes. Fit, how not! ”

Yang Lijie glared at the mouthy township servant fiercely. With a smile on his face, he said: "The reason why the imperial court chose the age of thirteen to sixteen." It is because of the law of the imperial court that if a woman does not marry at sixteen, she will be fined a sum of money, so there are very few women who are not married after sixteen. Oh, your family is from Daning, far away, or don't know about it? ”

Yang Lijie swallowed his saliva and said, "So, this age is not a necessary condition. The important thing is that she is not married yet, Miss Xie is not married yet, right? ”

As he spoke, he dipped his mouth into saliva, opened the household registration book with a bang, and pointed: "Oh, the black and white words on it are clearly written, and I haven't married yet!" ”

Sakura said, "I ......"

Yang Lijie waved his hand and said solemnly: "Okay, Miss Xie, don't say it anymore!" I've been notified now, you can't find your mother-in-law's family and marry immediately, otherwise you will escape the draft and punish you for bankruptcy. That's it, early the day after tomorrow, I will take you and other girls to the county primary, you will wait under the old locust tree in the east of the village early the day after tomorrow, don't let the uncle come to urge. Let's go, we'll see you the day after tomorrow. ”

"Hey, Uncle Yang......"

Sakura greeted, Yang Lijie had already roared out of the door, Sakura inexplicably led the horse out, turned his head to look, and saw Yang Lijie banging on the door of a house not far away: "Sixth, sixth, open the door, I'm the fourth brother!" Congratulations, congratulations, hahahaha......"

Xiao Ying'e frowned slightly, her thin white teeth bit her red lower lip, and she thought to herself: "This Uncle Yang is so weird, the emperor chooses a concubine, that is something that many people's daughters can't ask for, right?" Why are you afraid that people will get married soon? The Emperor ......"

Sakura couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed when she thought of the middle-aged man she had seen in the palace with big ears and thick eyebrows and heavy beard. The bearded emperor was the same age as her father, and even his square face and long beard were very similar. Be his concubine? Sakura felt so embarrassed.

Turning his head and looking at it again, Yang Lijie knocked on the door of the neighbor's house, and had already entered, Sakura secretly thought: "No, I'm obviously past my age, I have to make it clear to Uncle Yang when I go back, I will never go to this draft." ”

Sakura thought, so she led the horse to the outside of the village, most of the people in this village, she didn't know anyone's house, but this way, but saw several families with the word happy at the door, when they walked to the door of Yang Lijie's house, Sakura was recognized, but at a glance, not only the door was pasted with the word happy, but there were also firecrackers on the ground, a large group of people were busy inside and out, listening to a few answers, it was Yang Li's eldest daughter.

Sakura listened to it and admired it in her heart: "No wonder the Ming Dynasty is much more powerful than the Tartars and Warats, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are really dedicated to official affairs, Uncle Yang is married today, and he has to be busy with the work of the village." ”

Sakura rushed to her own field and saw that the tenants had already gone to work.

As soon as she saw that her young master had arrived, the tenants greeted her one after another, and Sakura was not too dirty, so she took off her boots and socks, pulled up her trouser legs, and went down to the paddy field with a pair of white feet.

In this era, it is said that the big girl does not go out of the door and does not step out, that is only limited to the rich and noble, and the daughter of the rich and noble family does not go out of the door and does not step out of the door is only relative, there is always a girl who is in charge of the family, forming a sister Taoer, swimming in a mountain together, worshipping a Buddha, opening a poetry meeting, and having their social activities, ordinary girls embroider purses to do sewing and selling on the street, or work in the field, that is a necessary thing, how can you not show your head.

It's just that Sakura is now a small landowner with status, and it's a bit surprising that she is willing to go to the land, but at first the tenants were surprised, but now it's no longer strange. Sakura followed the croppers all the way, listening to them introduce all kinds of farming knowledge, during which there were inevitably all kinds of short discussions among parents, Sakura is a straightforward character, and when she heard them talk about the draft girl, she interjected: "Ah! I also heard about this, and when I went out just now, the lieutenant came to my house and told me to gather at the entrance of the village early the day after tomorrow and go to the county to be screened. ”

Sakura is approachable and has a cheerful temperament, which is very popular with these farmers, she is a young owner, but many older farmers treat her as if she were their own daughter, and they can't help but be surprised when they hear this.

A farmer hurriedly said, "Oh, young owner." Why are you involved in this, don't stay in this field. Hurry. Go home and prepare a generous gift, and immediately send it to the mayor. Ask him to think of a way. But you must not be selected, otherwise you will be the owner of your appearance and character, how can there be a reason not to choose, this choice, a lifetime will be ruined! ”

Sakura was surprised when she heard this: "I'd rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife, how can I follow up on the ghost door when the emperor takes a fancy to me?" ”

Seeing her ignorant, the farmer couldn't help but say anxiously: "Oh, Shaodong, why don't you understand?" Draft girl. Draft girl, once selected, she became a palace maid, this palace maid is selected one in a million, which one is not smart and clever? What a beautiful girl has entered the palace, and she can't show up in this pile, how many of them are lucky enough to be favored by the emperor? If you are assigned to work in a palace that does not deal with the emperor, you will not be able to see the emperor when you die. ”

The common people under the roots of the imperial city know far more things than the people in other places, and the farmer explained in detail: "Once this girl enters the palace, she can't have anything to do with the outside of the palace. If you violate the ban, you are a murderer, and there is no second explanation. ”

Another farmer said: "Just say, you have been lonely in the palace for half your life, and you can leave the palace when you are old, right?" Not really, if you have never waited for the emperor and the concubine, otherwise, in order to prevent the palace people from leaking the forbidden things, you can't even leave the palace, you can only be confined in the 'Huanyi Bureau', tsk, that miserable, the doctor will naturally not treat you if you are sick, you can't find Langzhong outside, you can only look at the symptoms, and probably grab the medicine to make do with it. ”

The third person who spoke was not a man, but a sturdy peasant woman, and she said in shock: "The palace has strict rules, once you violate the rules, 'raise the bell', 'pier lock', 'board', and some are ways to rectify you." If you are really lucky to be favored by the emperor and become a concubine, then you should be lucky, right? Think beautifully! How old is the emperor this year? I'm in my fifties! To put it mildly, how many years can the emperor live? ”

A few men next to him hurriedly said: "Silence, silence, don't talk nonsense!" ”

The peasant woman hurriedly turned around and said: "If you go back in ancient times, we don't know, we know that since the Yuan Dynasty, once the emperor dies, he will be martyred." ”

Sakura said softly, she knew this rule, the system of human martyrdom has been gradually abolished since the Han Dynasty, and since the time of Genghis Khan, it has been restored again, and now after the death of the leaders of the Mongol and Jurchen tribes, it is still necessary to be martyred.

The peasant woman said: "When Hong Wuye died, all the thirty-eight concubines were martyred, and the palace maids who waited for the palace were also martyred!" Tell me, if you enter the palace, you will finally be favored by the emperor, and you will enjoy the blessing of a few years, and you will have to ...... at a young age."

A few farmers were afraid that she would cause trouble, so they said again: "Silence, silence!" ”

An old peasant interjected: "Palace maid, pitiful! There is no news from the family, and no one in the palace asks for warmth, and even a man can't be found. If it were possible, who would find a good girl without eggs...... Find a eunuch to be your own man, it's not that no one hurts, no one loves, no way! ”

The peasant woman sighed and said, "It's a shame that I don't have a daughter, so I won't suffer this living sin!" ”

Another wrinkled old man said: "Fortunately, my daughter got married last year!" ”

The third prime-aged farmer said happily: "Don't say it, alas! It's a shame that my little girl died early! ”

Sakura was dumbfounded.

An old farmer next to him hurriedly said: "Young owner, what are you still doing in a daze, waiting for this list to be officially reported, but it will be too late!" Why don't you go back to the activities and dredge up the relationship! ”

"Oh, yes, yes, I'...... I'll go! ”

Sakura woke up like a dream, hurriedly went ashore, walked to the side of the stream, soaked her feet in the clear spring water, put on her shoes and socks, turned over and got on the horse, and rushed to Yang Lichang's house.

Yang Lijie ran around the village, and when he returned home, he fell heavily on the bed, and sighed: "Ouch, this time I left, my bones are scattered." ”

He looked at his mother-in-law and asked, "The girl has already asked her aunt to take it away?" ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly agreed, and Yang Lijie took a breath: "That's good, that's good, it's finally a matter of heart." ”

The mother-in-law said: "The head of the house, our niece and daughter ......"

Yang Lijie frowned, sat up and said: "I am the head of this clan, managing this acre of three-point land, maintaining it up and down, do you think it will be easy?" I have to take care of several big families in the town, so that people don't pull me back. Now that several families have taken care of it, the number of people is not enough, I counted the two girls who have not married after 16, and they barely made up the number, if you let your niece and daughter find her mother-in-law's family, how can I pay to the government? ”

When his mother-in-law heard this, she burst into tears, and said with a sob: "You only know that you are holding on to others, but you are not caring about your own relatives." My brother's family has always been kind to us, when our family was hit by the disaster, my brother didn't say a word, so he divided his own bag of food into half a bag, and now you ......."

Yang Lijie couldn't hold back anymore, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, don't say it, look at it, even the two families who gave generous gifts were sent back by me, do you say that I am greedy for other people's money?" ”

He patted the kang and said: "I originally set aside a vacancy for ten people, and I originally thought of the daughter of your brother's family, but who knows ......, I can't do it, you ...... Why are you crying, your nephew's daughter, who is black and thin, is not good-looking, can you choose it? ”

His mother-in-law said with tears in her eyes: "What if you are chosen?" ”

"You ......"

As soon as Yang Lijie glared, he heard someone in the courtyard shouting: "Is Uncle Yang at home?" ”

Yang Lijie jumped off the kang smartly and said to his mother-in-law: "Shut up!" Don't cry, go, stay in the right room, cry again! I'll whip you with the soles of your shoes if you cry again! ”

Yang Lijie drank away his mother-in-law, hurriedly picked up his shoes and went out of the house, and when he saw Sakura, he smiled and said, "Ouch, Miss Xie, what's the matter?" ”

Sakura unsurprisingly touched a soft nail at Yang Lijie's place, went home in a daze, and told Tumen Baoyin about the matter, Tumen Baoyin also panicked when he heard it, the two were relatively at a loss, and for a long time, Tumen Baoyin hesitated: "Or, explain our identity to them?" ”

Sakura smiled bitterly, "Let's say it, do they believe it?" If we don't go to the court, who will prove it to us? But which one do we know in the court? Besides, if it's such a toss, we won't be able to stay in this place, and we have to change our name and surname and find another place to go. ”

Both of them have regarded this as their home, and they have a deep affection for this place, so why are they willing to leave again?

The two looked at each other, and after a while, Tumen Baoyin's eyes lit up, and he said tentatively: "Or...... Going to ask the Auxiliary Guogong for a favor? ”

"Hmm......"

"Huh?"

Xiaoying rubbed her nose and said reluctantly, "Okay, then I'...... Let's go for a walk! ”
