Volume I: Chapter 60 Before the General Election
This time the body examination is a few happy and a few sad, and there are also women who can't bear to steal the fishy, thinking that they can hide it, but they can't escape the vicious eyes, and they are sent away in disgrace, and the reputation of this life is ruined.
There must be a cause and an effect, naturally no one sympathizes with them, but it just becomes an after-dinner conversation, which is also laughable.
Song Jiarou didn't care about this, but she thought about whether she could see Nangong Jin when she entered the palace this time. It's no wonder that Song Jiayao misunderstood, she really looks like a girl with a spring in her arms.
thought of Song Jiayao's casual question that day. But she was also full of concern, and Song Jiarou couldn't help laughing. This was a bit silly, but fortunately there was no one around her, only people who were surprised to see her sudden gentle smile.
Although the emperor chooses a concubine, Nangong Jin doesn't seem to be there, if it is, it will be called absurd, but this absurd thing really happened.
can only blame the heavens for not being beautiful, it rained heavily on this day, and it is naturally not good to choose a concubine. Many girls were drenched in their clothes, and they couldn't dodge, but they were very embarrassed, so naturally they couldn't let the emperor see this.
So it was delayed again and again, and it was delayed until three days later. At that time, Nangong Jin was dealing with government affairs by the emperor's side, and he didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but when he saw him, he ordered to choose a concubine, but Nangong Jin paused, and said: "Since this is the case, the minister will retire after a while." ”
But the emperor called him affectionately, and said with a smile: "I remember that you are not too young, and it is time to choose a concubine." Let's see if these daughters who have entered the palace have a fancy to them, I am not a stingy person, I pointed to you. ”
Nangong Jin naturally felt that he was messing around, but he couldn't shirk it, knowing that Zhao Yue just wanted to have fun with this reason, but he was helpless.
He is not close to women, and Zhao Yue is not an obsessed emperor who is obsessed with women. Going to the harem is just a means to maintain the previous dynasty, the most ruthless emperor's family, and Zhao Yue has never really favored any woman in his heart.
If she is spoiled, the woman must also be innocent, and it will be okay if she is neglected for a while. On the contrary, those who are from excellent backgrounds and have the support of a big family behind them, Zhao Yue rarely spoils them, but they are just sealed and routine.
The emperor is ruthless, how can he covet the warmth of women. What he sees is nothing more than the benefits they can bring behind them.
Nangong Jin saw it clearly, so he didn't care much, although it was absurd, no one dared to say it.
All the women were instructed to face the saint in the afternoon, and they were all busy dressing up. Song Jiarou still doesn't care, the outfit is similar to the day she came, but she is not too plain, after all, it is unlucky.
There are also rules in the palace, Song Jiarou has calmed down these days, and she doesn't care about it, she wears cyan clothes, her hair is simply tied with a green jade hairpin, and then fixed with a pair of white jade jade hair combs.
Although it is true, it is also a kind of rudeness. Song Jiarou used the mule Dai given by Song Jiayao to draw her eyebrows, and lightly pounced on a layer of rouge, although it was not too conspicuous, but it was also a dusty asset.
Song Jiarou's foundation is not too bad, but she doesn't know how to dress up and is buried. followed Song Jiayao to raise a little mellow, and after eating Lan Jiu's medicinal diet, she was also a beautiful embryo, which made people's eyes shine.
Among the girls who are showcasing, Song Jiarou is once again eye-catching, but it is not that she is jealous, but that someone laughs. Now that the ladies of each family are here, they naturally want to compare. is more than appearance than singing, and what I like to compare the most is family history.
If you just talk about appearance, you naturally have your own beauty, and no one is convinced. But the family background is undeniable, and there is a woman named Su Qinyou, who is proud of herself in the palace because she is the daughter of a first-class official.
The women in the draft, as long as they are not allowed to match others with good looks and have an official body, can enter the palace. Therefore, it is extremely normal for the family background to be uneven, so Su Qin relied on her high family background to call others every day.
Because she is beautiful and has a tactful singing voice, she has gathered a large number of small followers, and the call of her sister before and after her sister makes people's hearts respond.
At this time, Su Qinyou naturally couldn't get used to Song Jiarou's tall appearance, she only felt that she was dressed plainly, thinking that there was no money at home to buy those luxurious things.
Su Qinyou approached Song Jiarou with a high-spirited look, and deliberately walked towards her, Song Jiarou couldn't dodge, she was bumped into her arms, and most of the hot tea in her hand was spilled, and a few drops splashed on the corners of Su Qinyou's clothes.
"What's the matter with you? Don't you have long eyes! This dress is a fine silk satin, and you can't afford to burn it! A person behind Su Qinyou said in a sharp voice, attracting the attention of many people.
Song Jiaqi also noticed this, she had always been very disdainful of Su Qinyou, but she got Wang Xi's instructions before coming. Be a humble person, don't compete with others next to her, and when she enters the palace, she can hold back. The relationship between Song Jiaqi and Song Jiarou was not very good, and now it is even stiffer, so naturally she will not take the initiative to help her, just look at the jokes.
"It's just brocade." Song Jiarou glanced at Su Qinyou, quite disdainful. Let's not mention how many good materials she had seen in her previous life, and even the materials used by the emperor were piled up in the warehouse of the Ping'an Marquis Mansion, so she didn't bother to use them.
In this life, she followed Song Jiayao, and she was responsible for Song Jiarou's food, clothing, housing and transportation, which was naturally different from Song Jiaqi. And Song Jiayao's antique shops all over the mountains and rivers have become a net, and the daily gold is carried home, so naturally there will be no shortage of money.
Song Jiayao treats Song Jiarou very well, and sends her a copy of everything, although Song Jiarou's clothes are very simple, they are worth a lot of money, and they are not something that ordinary people can find.
No matter how arrogant Su Qinyou is, her family is also living on a fortune, unlike Song Jiayao, who is in business by herself, and has never seen any rare treasures. I don't know who the owner behind this shop is, but I guessed that it was Song Anguo, so I sent it to the house, hoping to take this road.
Song Jiayao naturally accepted all the orders, and helped everyone who could help, leaving a good reputation, which made others even more embarrassed.
So Song Jiarou really doesn't take the price of a brocade in her eyes, no matter what, the eldest sister just supports herself.
"Don't be reckless, and say, 'Where is your father?' Su Qinyou's face was disgraced, her face was unhappy, and she came up with a trick that she had tried and tested in the past few days.
Song Jiarou pursed her lips lightly, and wanted to laugh. No matter how horizontal Su Qinyou is now, if she remembers correctly, she is just a concubine. I'm afraid that I won't have a chance to show off my might at home, so I will sprinkle it outside.
"My father was just a reckless man, and now he is at the border. My surname is Song. Song Jiarou reported to her home unhurriedly, and Su Qinyou's complexion changed.
Song Jiarou guessed correctly, she is indeed just a concubine, and if she is pressed by her concubine at home, she is nothing, which is also embarrassing.
Su Qinyou was arrogant, relying on her own good looks, and entered the palace despite the opposition of her biological mother. The whole family was reluctant to go to the palace to be a concubine, and they were happy to know that she wanted to go.
But after all, he wanted to please the emperor, so he took Su Qinyou to Mrs. Changfang, who was a successor and also had the name of a concubine. That's why Su Qinyou has the capital to be so arrogant.
But now in Luoyang City. The general surnamed Song at the border pass, isn't that just the one? Song Feng has been fighting all year round and has won the trust of the emperor, but he has not lost a battle for many years, defending his family and defending the country, and is loved by the people.
Although he is on an equal footing with Su Qinyou's father in terms of rank, his father is inferior after all. Su Qinyou suddenly didn't dare to speak, and only secretly regretted that she was unlucky.
It just so happened that Mama came at this time, and called them to line up to go in, and everyone immediately crowded to occupy a good position, and Song Jiarou inexplicably came to Song Jiaqi's side.
The two sisters looked at each other, but they were speechless. They are half-siblings, and they have never even had sisterhood on the face after falling out before, so naturally there will not be much affection outside.
The flower-like delicate girls were all holding their breath at this time, and when she approached the door, Song Jiarou felt that Song Jiaqi's breathing became nervous, and she couldn't help laughing in her heart.
raised her head slightly, but Song Jiarou saw a person who shouldn't have been seen.
Brother? Today is the day of the emperor's draft, why is my brother here?
Song Jiarou was a little puzzled, the emperor chose a concubine, how could a marquis appear as a person. If the queen sits on the top, there is some reason, is it possible......
Song Jiarou's mind flashed the habit of breaking sleeves, and the eight words of Long Yang were good, and she was a little trembling at the moment, and looked at Nangong Jin with a surprised face. His brother can't be a broken sleeve, right?
In the previous life, in addition to her, there were maids by her side. There is not even a woman by her brother's side, and she has been worried about her brother's family affairs for a long time. In the end, he died without finding a suitable sister-in-law.
Song Jiarou suppressed this thought fiercely, telling herself that she was thinking too much, but she still couldn't help but look at Nangong Jin inquiringly.
Song Jiaqi looked up by chance, and what she saw was the scene of Song Jiarou looking at Nangong Jin a little stupidly, her heart moved, and she was rarely smart, and asked, "Do you like that Ping'an Hou?" ”
Song Jiarou was worried, and choked when she heard Song Jiaqi's inquiry. Everyone thinks that she has a crush on her brother, and even thinks that she is delusional.
She is indeed a little delusional, but she is thinking about the love of brother and sister, not the love of men and women, and the beast is really helpless.
Song Jiaqi looked at Song Jiarou's expression, thinking that she had guessed correctly, and felt a little proud in her heart. If Song Jiarou can take the initiative to give up this opportunity, she will be the only young lady in Shuifu, and she will naturally be able to monopolize the power.
Thinking about it, Song Jiaqi naturally took action. She approached Song Jiarou. Climbed in her ear and whispered: "If you have a sweetheart, it is better to give up this opportunity, you shirk and say that your body is not good, I will help you hide it." ”
Song Jiarou looked at her in surprise, and knew her mind in a blink of an eye, but she only smiled. She wanted to lose the election, but it wasn't so easy to fool the past, and she wasn't stupid.
