In the eastern high country, in the forty-eighth year of Haoze, early summer suddenly arrived, and the sky was clear.

Early in the morning, when the first rays of sunlight poured on the streets of Dongcheng, the entire Dongcheng ushered in an unbelievable event.

"Knock knock - "

The crowded street suddenly resounded with a deafening sound of gongs and drums.

"What's going on over there, so lively?" The unsuspecting people curiously pulled at the pedestrians who were surging forward.

Many people stopped and explained excitedly: "Don't you still know the way? Today is the day when Chu Jingchen, the victorious general known as the most beautiful man in the Eastern High Kingdom, personally sets up the ring and chooses the general's wife! ”

"What? Choosing a lady? Didn't he just marry the prime minister's daughter, Qiao Yiqing? The pedestrian's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Dude, you don't even know this! The day before yesterday, Chu Jingchen didn't care about the face of the emperor and the prime minister, and personally kicked Qiao Yiqing out of the general's mansion, and claimed to beat her once. Qiao Yiqing was humiliated, and hanged herself in the Prime Minister's Mansion the next day, but was later found by the maid and saved her life. No, in order to ridicule Qiao Yiqing, Chu Jingchen deliberately set up a ring on the street to choose a wife. ”

"Yes, General Chu is doing this, so that the Prime Minister's Mansion can't come to power. Look at it, even the girls in the Qinglou went to participate in the competition, didn't this slap Prime Minister Qiao and Qiao Yiqing in the face, alas——"

"Don't say it, don't say it, go and watch the game, I heard that there are still a lot of women who have signed up!"

With that, a large crowd continued to trot towards the place where the ring was set up.

When the others heard the news, they followed with curiosity.

It was the first time they had seen the strange story of the general choosing a wife in the ring.

At this time, a huge ring had already been built in the huge square, and the ring was surrounded by people, and everyone was surrounded by exclamations and discussions, and the marriage of Chu Jingchen and Qiao Yiqing also rolled over everyone's mouths like a snowball.

"Bang Bang—"

The sound of gongs and drums sounded again, and at this time, an old man over half a hundred years old came to the ring.

Dressed in gorgeous clothes, he looked around at everyone, and announced loudly with a smile: "Fellow villagers, I am General Chu's housekeeper, Lao Ou. Today is the day of the great day for my general to choose his wife, and any young woman who has reached the age of marriage and is not married is eligible to participate in the competition. ”

The old man paused, his eyebrows full of smiles: "Now allow me to announce the rules of the game." First, women who want to participate in the competition must register to be eligible. Second, women who compete on stage can show their best talents, and if they need to dance with knives and guns, they must not hurt people's lives. Third, cheating is not allowed in the ring, and once discovered, it will be severely punished. If there is a woman's talent that is favored by the general, then she will be carried into the general's mansion by eight sedan chairs and become the wife of the general who is justified in the Donggao country. Did you hear me clearly? ”

As soon as the old man's voice fell, the women in the audience all flushed, and responded in an excited soft voice: "It's clear-"

"Okay-papa-pa-"

At this moment, a sonorous and powerful male voice sounded suddenly, and bursts of crisp applause smashed into everyone's ears.

Everyone looked up and saw a man in a blue brocade robe slowly pacing out of the crowd.

"Wow, look, it's General Chu!"

His fair face, angular, handsome and unusual, those magnificent eyes released a touching light, and with a slight sweep, countless women were instantly fascinated. Dressed in blue, his body is straight, like a suave son, not at all like a raunchy old man on the battlefield.

"Oh my God, it's really him, so handsome, he really deserves to be the most beautiful man in the East High Country!"

All the women pushed me excitedly, scrambling to see Chu Jingchen's face.

When Chu Jingchen heard the women's discussions, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and a sneer of disdain flashed at the corners of his mouth.

He has seen a lot of this kind of out-of-control scene, and in this world, there is no shortage of stupid women.

"Look, Chu Jingchen smiled, he smiled!"

The women couldn't calm down when they saw Chu Jingchen's smile.

And just when everyone was in chaos, a luxurious purple sedan chair slowly walked -

"Miss, the front is surrounded by water, and the sedan chair can't pass!" Outside the sedan chair, the slightly anxious voice of the maid Zizhu came.

"Chase away the crowd—"

"But—miss—"

Zizhu's eyelids jumped when she heard Miss's cold voice, there were so many people in front of her, how could she rush it!

"Go!"

The slightly angry scolding made people shudder, Zizhu trembled in fright, and walked forward tremblingly.

She shouted as she pulled away from the crowd, "My young lady is going over, please let me go-"

The crowd standing behind was obstructed by Zizhu like this, and immediately exclaimed: "Oh, aren't you Zizhu, the little maid of the Prime Minister's Mansion who serves the concubine?" ”

As soon as they called this, many people cast strange glances, and when they saw the purple sedan chair that belonged to the prime minister's daughter-in-law Qiao Yiqing, everyone's eyebrows and eyes were full of thick mockery, and they all laughed: "Hey, who did I say, it turned out to be Qiao Yiqing, the cousin who was kicked out of the general's mansion by General Chu——"
