Chapter 343: March 3, Daughter's Day
At this moment, Yuan Huai's heart jumped to his throat, and he rushed over as fast as he could, narrowly catching Yu Jue.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a flower appeared in front of him, and when he looked again, the jade jue in his hand was gone!
Wu Qi took Yu Jue in his hand and threw it, up and down, and saw that Yuan Huai's heart also followed up and down.
"What's going on with this piece of jade? Still glowing? ”
Yuan Huai looked at Wu Qi, his expression was very indescribable, there were so many women in front of him, many of them were outstanding and beautiful like flowers, but they didn't make Yu Jue have the slightest reaction, but this ugly girl made Yu Jue shine!
She is obviously the person His Majesty is looking for.
Looking at her honor, Yuan Huai couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to the emperor, in front of such a face, I'm afraid it's difficult to speak, right?
However, he is only responsible for bringing back those who are eligible, and the rest, that is not in his consideration.
"Girl, this piece of jade jue is a magic weapon refined by the national teacher, if someone with a special constitution touches it, the jade jue will emit light. The girl's physical attribute is water, so Yu Jue emits a dark light, which means that the girl meets the conditions to become a goddess, if there is no other qualified person, then the girl is a goddess. ”
Wu Qi's action of throwing Yujue stopped, "Really? ”
Yuan Huai nodded, "Really, please return the jade jue to me." ”
Thinking that he would have to deal with this person in the future, Wu Qi handed over the jade jue, anyway, it was just a piece of jade jue that would shine, nothing unusual.
Holding Yujue in his hand again, Yuan Huai's heart finally fell back into his stomach.
"I don't know what to call the girl?"
"My name is Wu Qi, and now I have become a candidate for the shrine?"
Yuan Huai: "...... Not bad. ”
"Then go get me something to eat, I'm hungry." Wu Qi rubbed her stomach, no matter what she bought here, she had to use money, and she didn't have a copper plate on her, if it weren't for the money, she wouldn't have chosen this kind of worship.
It's the first time that Yuan Huai has met someone who is so unkind to him, even in the palace, his father-in-law is the number one person when he walks out, who doesn't give him some face?
When he arrived outside the palace, he was even more held, even if those officials looked down on him, but they were afraid that he would give them eye medicine in front of the emperor after he went back, so they all respected him.
This ugly girl is good, and she calls him like a little girl at home, but Yuan Huai strangely does not feel offended, but has a sense of novelty.
Maybe it's for the sake of her being a candidate for compensation, and follow her.
Yuan Huai asked people to get food, and Wu Qi sat aside and ate it. There is no reserved and dignified woman who eats, and she can't even make chopsticks well, so she finally grabs it and eats it directly.
Yuan Huai couldn't see it, where did this ugly girl come from? Couldn't it have been a wild man who lived in the mountains and forests before?
It's just such a woman who makes Yu Jue shine.
After sitting behind the table all morning, except for Wu Qi, Yuan Huai didn't even see a second person who could make Yu Jue shine.
Didn't you say that Fengchi people are outstanding and have more beautiful women? So far, he hasn't seen a few good-looking people, what about those beauties? Where did you go?
A rounded eunuch approached him and said: "My lord, most of the women who came before were from the homes of ordinary people, and the daughters of those really rich and noble families are usually raised in the boudoir, and they don't come out to see people easily. ”
Yuan Huai glanced at him, "Then tell me, how to lure them out?" ”
These flowers and birds have come to the people to search for beautiful women for His Majesty, speaking of scenery, but the balance of this has to be grasped well, if the means are too fierce to cause strong local resistance, then it is not certain whether they can get out of the territory of Quanzhou at that time.
Even if they go out safely in the end, the matter will be reported back to the capital, and those old stubborn people in the court will be involved, and the emperor will not speak for them at that time, but will most likely push them out as scapegoats.
Before coming out, his godfather repeatedly told him, don't take yourself too seriously, if you rely on the power in your hands, you don't know how to do whatever you want, and you don't know how to die when the time comes.
So even if Yuan Huai was ordered to go out on an errand, he didn't raise his chin to the sky to look at people with his nostrils.
Instead, he has always maintained a pretense of harmony with local officials.
The mellow eunuch is called Wu Fei, who was bought by the Ying nobles, and he gave out the manuscript that had already been typed.
His idea is also simple, but it is actually born from the method of worshipping women.
"Tomorrow's festival, whether it is those rich ladies who are raised in the boudoir, or the women of ordinary people's families, they will come out to play, and when the sacrifice is held for the women, we will lead those women to the near in the name of blessing.
"If there is someone who can make Jade Jue shine, in the eyes of those who don't know the truth, isn't it just the vision of the blessing of the river god? If Yu Jue doesn't react, it can only be said that they themselves are not blessed, and no one can doubt us. ”
In the final analysis, their purpose is to find qualified candidates for supplementation, whether it is to select women for worship or to bestow blessings, these are just means for them to achieve their goals.
Yuan Huai glanced at Wu Fei with some surprise, but he didn't expect that he still had two brushes.
Also, if you don't have some skills, you can't get flowers and birds to make such a fat difference, right?
"Okay, that's it."

The third day of March is also known as the Daughter's Day, because this day is the day for women to perform and make rituals.
However, a woman does not have to be 15 years old, but between 15 and 20 years old, depending on the situation.
The Xue family was holding a ceremony for Xue Wu at this time.
At this time last year, Xue's father had an accident, and Xue's mother was immersed in grief, so she neglected her daughter's major event, and she blamed herself very much, so she made up her mind to hold a good ceremony for her daughter this year.
Mrs. Qiao received a letter of resignation from Xue's mother as early as three days ago, inviting her to be the guest of honor for her daughter and Luli.
"I have a daughter-in-law, and I will be at the head of it, and may my daughter's teaching."
Zhengbin generally asked a certain female elder with both ability and political integrity to serve as the person, and Qiao Niangzi did not expect that she would be invited, and felt both happy and honored, and came early on this day.
In the room, Xue Jun came to the dresser with a tray, and Xue Jun was sitting on a stool, wearing only a snow-white undershirt, and was applying makeup to the mirror.
Although the makeup is only halfway on, it is already so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.
Xue Jun stood aside with a tray, looking at her sister without blinking, her eyes full of admiration.
