Chapter 229: Fame
Mrs. Shu has been strong since she was a child, she has fought all her life, she must win every fight, as the daughter of the family has been arrogant since she was a child, and she is proud of her honor, she married Mrs. Shu because of her love, at that time their Lu family was many times richer than the Shu family, and Mrs. Shu was full of joy to marry.
Originally, the married life was indeed happy, and the husband and wife respected each other like guests, and were harmonious and beautiful, but the good times did not last long, which lord in this world did not take concubines? What's more, the Shu family was already in decline, and although Mrs. Shu was unwilling in her heart, she had to show the generosity of her wife, and found two concubines for Mrs. Shu, one of whom was the Liu family.
The two concubines are both weak and cowardly, Mrs. Shu thinks that she can handle them at will, usually holding a high shelf in front of them, not taking them in her eyes at all, and suppressing them if she has nothing to do.
How do you know that Mrs. Shu was confused by Liu's eyes, Mrs. Shu was very fond of Liu, and the old lady was angry and itchy, and she repeatedly fell behind in several battles with Liu.
Mrs. Shu was even more partial to the Liu family again and again, and the old lady Shu, who was originally honest and obedient in front of her, also choked with her because of the Liu family, which made Mrs. Shu even more resentful and hated the Liu family to the core.
In Mrs. Shu's life, the most angry thing for her was losing to a concubine she didn't look down on, Mrs. Shu's biggest comfort was that she could always suppress the Liu family in the identity of the Shu family, how about the deep love between Mrs. Shu and the Liu family? The Liu family can't go to the family tree, and the family tree can't be on the family tree, which is also the biggest comfort in Mrs. Shu's heart.
But now she sees the name of the Liu family on the family tree, and a concubine is also on the family tree? Don't be afraid of jokes when you say it? A concubine actually put her on the family tree. When she didn't know, when she was still complacent, and used this to comfort herself, Liu's had surpassed her, Liu, Liu! A woman she looked down on, a woman she despised and disgusted, had unknowingly ridden on her head.
The more Mrs. Shu thought about it, the more angry she became, and under the anger, she spit out a mouthful of blood, and her body staggered and fell backwards.
At this time, Mrs. Shu was on the side of the street at the entrance of Lujia Alley, standing on the side of the servant, and passers-by. Just watched her fall to the ground.
Everyone was shocked. After a moment of silence, he surrounded him with a "hula" and pointed.
The official immediately stepped forward to check the situation, and Mrs. Shu had stopped breathing.
The Shu family has no one who can take care of the aftermath for Mrs. Shu, and the Lu family is unwilling to even open the door for her to borrow money, let alone her death. They don't want to pay attention to such an unfortunate thing. gave the yamen some money for the yamen to deal with.
Mrs. Shu still has two granddaughters. But one is half crazy, and the other can't be counted on at all in the nunnery, as for comfort. The yamen didn't want to inform her at all, since the Shu family had done such an unkind and unjust thing as expelling her from the house, why did they bother her with such a thing?
The news that Mrs. Shu was angry on the street did not attract much attention, because this day was the long-awaited Daughter's Day in Feng County.
However, occasionally some people will talk about the Shu family, Shu Qifeng only took over the head of the family the day before, and the Shu family will decline the day after tomorrow, people firmly believe that the Shu family can not be without comfort, whether it is the previous time that the Shu family almost declined or was targeted by the Wang family, Shu Xin has persevered, if the Shu family is not comfortable, it has already declined, and the Shu family has been supported by comfort for a while now.
Shuxin's ability has been unanimously recognized, and has received countless praises, and even no one can voice the opposition, because the facts are in front of him, and the Shu family will be finished as soon as the head of the family changes, who can deny Shuxin's ability?
Comfort is once again famous.
On the eighth day of the fifth month of May, I had breakfast on this day, and I waited for Rong Feiyan to come at home, and went to the "Falling Lotus House" together to watch the Daughter's Day.
Originally, Shu Xin invited Shu Kai to join him, but Luo Liuxi said that Daughter's Day is a festival for her daughter's family, and Shu Kai just went to see it with her, so that Shu Xin and Rong Feiyan could have a good time, so Shu Xin didn't insist.
Held every three years, all unmarried women over the age of thirteen can sign up for it, regardless of status, which is the biggest and fastest shortcut for daughters to get ahead, attracting daughters from all over the country.
The Daughter's Festival was held for seven days, the first day of on-site registration, divided into piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, music, dance, female red seven sub-venues, girls can go to the corresponding venue to register for the competition according to one of their best, and the top ten will be selected by the judges.
On the second day, 70 people will choose another one of their own specialties to participate in the competition and select the top five. The remaining 35 people on the third day will choose another competition that they are good at to select the top three, and on the fourth day, the top two in each event will be selected.
So on the fifth day, there were only 14 daughters left in the competition, and only two of the seven events of the competition were left to participate, and the fifth day was a mixed competition of the remaining two events of 14 people, and the winning ten people were selected, and the sixth day was the ten-person performance day, also known as the flower throwing day, and the onlookers threw flowers to select the most popular six people, which was the most lively day for the whole people to participate.
On the seventh day, it is the final day, and when it comes to the most exciting part of the Daughter's Festival, the six-person guò draw is a group of two people to face off, all the competitions are compared at one time, and the winner of the seven events wins, and finally the top three are selected to compete for the name of the flower fairy in one, second and third places.
This year's Daughter's Festival was held in Feng County, Feng County is named after the lotus, and the top three of the Daughter's Festival are called the Red Lotus Fairy, the Pink Lotus Fairy, and the White Lotus Fairy.
The name of the flower fairy was given by the emperor to the title, announced to the world, and awarded a special lotus trophy and other rewards, which shows the high-end Cheng dù of the Daughter's Day competition, which is a supreme honor, not only the beauty of the girl herself, but also infinite glory for the family.
If she is selected by the emperor to enter the palace as a concubine, her identity, status, and fame will all rise, which will attract more girls to participate.
And even if you get a good ranking and are not selected by the emperor to enter the palace, even if you can't get a good ranking in the competition, there are countless princes and nobles who come to watch, whether it is usually difficult to see or not at all, you have the opportunity to see, if you are lucky to be favored by a noble son, it is usually impossible to ask for it.
Therefore, the girls who come to participate in the Daughter's Day are not more concerned about the competition, but about a beautiful marriage under a romantic encounter.
When the Daughter's Day officially began, the Yamen on the street ordered people to clear the road, and a large number of people were transferred from Kyoto due to lack of manpower, separating the sidewalk from the carriage roadway, so as to ensure that the road was smooth and that the girls who went to participate in the competition would not be blocked in the middle of the road.
Shu Xin and Rong Feiyan had no plans to sign up for the competition, and the two of them didn't particularly want to go to the branch venue, so they chose to go out on foot, planning to go to the nearest Qu venue to have a look, and met Mo Yushuang who accompanied her cousin to sign up at the registration office outside the venue, and the two of them said hello.
While he was talking, several exquisite and luxurious carriages stopped on the side of the street, attracting everyone's attention. (To be continued......)
