Chapter 30 The Election of a Son-in-law by Western Zhao 1

On the third day of the general election of Xizhao's son-in-law, after the first few competitions, there were few candidates left who could continue to enter the next round.

Along the way, Bai Jinyu barely encountered much obstacle, the only regret is that Feng Chen has not been eliminated by this time, and he has dragged him into the next round.

Just finished a round of riding and shooting, Bai Jinyu, who won easily, went back to stay and rest. In the evening, she came to the Bronze Camel Restaurant, and when she left the palace, she invited the little prince of Duoyue Kingdom, Umu, to have a drink, and thanked him for his righteous action on the riding range.

There was something wrong on the field today, a general of the Qiang State lost and refused to accept the death, and he pulled out his knife and slashed indiscriminately, injuring many people, almost injuring Bai Jinyu, thanks to Wumu's timely shot, she was able to preserve, so Bai Jinyu specially asked him to come out to thank him.

Bai Jinyu has a very high vision, don't look at her all day long, she is very polite to everyone, but in fact, few can really get into her eyes.

Her temperament is because she is indeed wise to ordinary people, and secondly, it is also caused by the environment in which she grew up.

Cuizhu, in fact, is the Wen family of Luzhou, a family of Fan Xue who has been standing tall in the torrent for hundreds of years, no matter how the imperial power changes.

Seventy or eighty years ago, there was a scholar named Wen Youchun in Cuizhu, who began to admit protΓ©gΓ©s when he was bored, so since then, thousands of students have come to study every year.

Those who come to study in Cuizhu must pass the five examinations of body, speech, calligraphy, art, and judgment to obtain admission qualifications, so there are often less than 30 people who can really stay in Cuizhu to study every year.

The people who dared to apply for Cuizhu were not ordinary people, these twenty or thirty people were even rarer, and Bai Jinyu was surrounded by such people, so naturally his vision of people rose.

Among the people who participated in the Xizhao election this time, there were few people she liked to the eye, and even fewer were willing to associate with them, but Umu just caught her attention.

To ask why, because he is funny.

Yes, it's funny, a person who was threatened and intimidated by Sister A to participate in the selection of a son-in-law, was not in a state during the whole competition, but he was able to pass the test and advance repeatedly, how could it not be interesting? !

If you want to talk about her acquaintance with Umu, it is really fate.

It was the first day of the election for her son-in-law, and she had contracted a cold the night before, and slept until three o'clock in the morning. When I hurried to the palace, I found that I had forgotten to bring the name post, so I turned back to get the name card, and I missed the time when I came back and forth. Just when she was anxious, she found that there were a bunch of people around the palace entrance, and it turned out that someone was as late as her!

It's really nice to meet someone who is also embarrassed at that time.

This group of people, both male and female, are slender and tall, and the clothes they wear are mainly red and blue with clear banners, and at a glance they are from the Duoyue Kingdom.

At that time, there was a woman in the crowd who was angry at the man gathered in the center: "You can be late today, and your father's face has made you clean!" When will it be easy to worry?! ”

However, despite the reprimand, the woman's hands still straightened the man's shirt like an old mother.

"Sister, the monarch of Chu Li is broad-minded, and he won't criticize me! Actually, I know that Sister A, you are worried about me, worried that I will be reprimanded by the monarch later, since Sister A, I am so reluctant to ......" The young man said with a smile: "Then don't toss me, I won't go in!" ”

"You dare!!" The woman's backhand is a palm, and the man dodged it with a slight deviation, so he knew that he was not less beaten by this woman's fists and kicks on weekdays.

When the man saw that Sister Ah was really angry, he stopped laughing, and obediently took off the saber on his body and handed it to her, and he didn't know what to say, and the woman finally couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Bai Jinyu had already ridden to the dismount pile in front of the palace, she didn't care about the excitement in front of the door, jumped off the horse and galloped all the way.

"Sister, look, isn't there another person who is late!" When the man saw Bai Jinyu, he hurriedly pointed it out to his sister in surprise.

Because the man's tone was too happy, Bai Jinyu subconsciously looked at him.

The other party was a handsome and cheerful Duoyue man, with a pair of cowhide horned boots tightly on his feet, a white narrow-sleeved hunting suit, rolling blue edges, and a thin braid in his black thick hair bundle, tied with a circle of silver-white fox fur, which looked both dignified and generous and dexterous.

When Bai Jinyu looked at the man, the man was also looking at her, and it happened that a line of snot flowed down her left nostril. The man smiled lightly, and she sucked her snot back with a rather embarrassed "sting".

When the two of them walked to the palace gate and handed over the name card to the palace people who inspected the palace, Bai Jinyu listened to the man say goodbye to his sister: "Sister, I can only try, don't report too much hope, your small dog has been beaten by me, I think ......"

"Shut up!" Her sister almost rushed up, but fortunately she was stopped by the people around her.

"Okay, okay, I'll do my best!" The man waved his hand perfunctorily, then said goodbye to Sister A and Bai Jinyu, and was led into the palace by the palace people.

The royal palace of Xizhao is magnificent and solemn, and the high-rise buildings are like mountains.

As a civilian, Bai Jinyu walked into such a complex for the first time, and he only felt that each place was different, and each place was very similar, and walking in it was like being in a labyrinth.

"My name is Umu, the Moonman, what's your name?"

It was forbidden for people to run in the palace, and Bai Jinyu, who was already late, was hurrying with the palace people, but he didn't expect the people around him to talk leisurely.

Bai Jinyu looked at this Umu, the two of them were at the same speed, she was so tired and out of breath, and he was very relaxed.

"My name is Wen Yan, a great recruiter."

"Wen Yan, this is a nice name." Umu repeated her name and asked, "Why are you late?" ”

Bai Jinyu rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that you are not late, but he still told him: "I would not have been late, but I forgot to bring the name card and turned it back to get it." ”

"Oh!" Umu smiled and nodded.

"Why are you late?" Bai Jinyu asked, according to the rules of coming and not being rude, he should also exchange his story.

Umu put his hands around his mouth and said in a low voice: "I was busy looking for my pet in the morning, and after tossing for a while, it was too late!" ”

"Huh? Looking for a pet? Bai Jinyu confirmed to him.

Umu nodded, not like a joke.

Bai Jinyu's eyes wrinkled, and it was hard to believe this reason.

Umu looked at the palace man in front of him who bowed his head and led the way, and said in a low voice: "Well, I have a bird. We just arrived in Bidu the day before yesterday and let him go out on his own, but it didn't come back for two days, and I've been looking for it for the past few days. ”

"Did you find it now?" Bai Jinyu also lowered his voice.

Umu said: "Of course I found it!" ”

Bai Jinyu felt that the reason for this buddy's late arrival was much more ridiculous than his own, and he immediately became curious about this bird that was more important than the election: "Don't you Duoyue people raise birds in cages?" ”

Umu raised his eyebrows and said as a matter of course: "No, it will suffocate them." Our birds of the Lunar Quarter are free, and of course, they are also smart enough to recognize the Lord and return home on their own. ”

"Really?" Bai Jinyu was surprised.

"Well, if you're interested, I'll show you when this trick is over!"

"Uh-huh." Bai Jinyu casually agreed, and suddenly felt that the words of the two were a little wrong. After a good taste, I found out that it was Wumu's state that was wrong, and now it was the time for the princess to be selected, and he didn't seem to have any thoughts on it, so he didn't need to be solemn, and he was a little too relaxed

"Ahem, ahem!" The palace people in front heard them chatting and hurriedly signaled silence. The two looked at each other, then stopped talking.

As expected, they were the last two candidates to arrive.

Because of being late, the two were asked by Chu Li, the monarch of Western Zhao, to be punished for drinking, and the punishment was the well-known "Shihua Wine" of Western Zhao that could drink the dead.

The two of them were also angry, and said that "there is someone to accompany them on the road after drinking to death" and responded to the punishment.

After drinking it, I realized that this was Chu Li joking with them, the wine was not Shihua wine, and naturally it couldn't drink the dead.

However, as a result, the two of them all had a "fatal" friendship and soon became acquainted.

Bai Jinyu didn't wait too long in the Tongcamel Restaurant, and Umu came on a horse alone. At that time, the red sun was about to fall, the sunset was full of sky, and the handsome young man rode his horse all the way, and the pedestrians in the market all looked at the prime minister.

The two talked about wine and food for a while, and Bai Jinyu teased: "Prince Wumu, is it too big for you to travel like this, is it inconsistent with your identity?" ”

Umuqi said: "I don't know how Brother Wen thinks I should travel?" ”

Bai Jinyu said: "Even if the prince doesn't go back and forth, at least he has to follow one or two entourages when he comes out, right?" ”

Umu smiled and said disapprerovingly: "A prince was born a prince, whether he follows or not, he is a prince, and now no one here knows me, you don't know how rare it is!" ”

Bai Jinyu nodded: "What you said is a bit interesting, you can enjoy this leisure, when you become the horse of Xizhao, you will not be so chic and free!" ”

Bai Jinyu took a sip of wine, there was still one election left, and at this stage, she had to find someone to compete with Fengchen in the final battle.

Since Bai Jinyu unveiled the gold list and bought two jade carvings from Fengchen, he has become famous in Bidu, and the call to seize the horse is almost equal to Fengchen.

If this situation continues, she feels that she is not far from the end of the catastrophe.

However, hoping that Fengchen will lose the election is still her original intention, of course, the person who hopes that he will lose the election is not only Bai Jinyu, she just seems very tenacious.

After many days of observation, Bai Jinyu felt that among all the candidates, only the little prince of Duoyue could compete with Feng Chen in terms of appearance, background, qualifications, and conduct.

Moreover, his previous three matches were all passed in a free state, and if he competed well below, he was not afraid that there would be no amazing results.

However, Umu shook his head and said with a smile: "I haven't thought about this Xizhao horse. ”

His attitude had already been expected by Bai Jinyu, so she further encouraged: "Didn't you come to Xizhao thousands of miles away just to marry Princess Yuhe?" If you can't marry a princess, how to explain to your father Khan, won't you have a little worry? ”

Who knew that Wumu waved his hand again and again when he heard it: "Don't worry, at most, I won't be able to marry Yuhe, and I'm not unable to marry a wife in this life, what is there to worry about." Besides, there is only one horse, and so many people come to the election, isn't it normal to not be elected, and my father Khan naturally has this preparation in his heart. ”

Bai Jinyu was stunned, how can people be disciplined in this mentality?

I had to laugh and say: "I thought I didn't care about running for nothing!" ”

"It was a trip for nothing!" Wumu smiled: "I didn't plan to come, you know, I came because my sister ......" Wumu closed his mouth, and the word "force" almost spit out of his mouth.

Bai Jinyu said: "Oh, I understand. ”

Umu said: "Moreover, my father Khan is also planning to marry me, it is said that that girl is the first beauty in my Duoyue, and it is just right that I can't marry Princess Yuhe, I can go back and marry my big beauty!" ”

Bai Jinyu was dumbfounded for a while and said, "Okay...... Prince Umu's state of mind is really admired! By the way, have you ever met Princess Yuga? She's always behind that secret tent these days, and we can't see her, so is she beautiful or ugly? ”
