After the people in the neighboring small towns heard about this, all those who had relatives in Huai'an City, who could bring their relatives with their relatives, all of them stuffed their little ladies into it.
If you don't have a daughter at home, you are happy to send a favor to your relatives and friends outside the city, which is a matter that benefits both of them anyway. In addition, there are even people who spend money to stuff their daughters into other people's homes as righteous daughters, which is really doing everything.
Even the big families who moved away from Huai'an City before have moved back one after another, just to let their daughters sign up for the election, which has a great impact.
Huai'an City, which had been depressed for a long time, returned to its pre-war bustle overnight. The tense atmosphere was swept away, and everyone speculated that even Qin Cha still had the leisure to choose a maid, and he was afraid that this battle would not be able to be fought.
In less than half a month, the business that should be opened to do business is done, and the door is visited by the door. If it weren't for the Yue family army still stationed outside the city, everyone would have to leave the war behind.
Now the little ladies in the newspaper have been recorded. Twilight Chun led and counted the number of people, and there were more than 3,000 people. Yuexi exclaimed, "This ...... Is this a direct selection of three thousand beauties in the harem for the eldest prince? ”
Twilight glared at her and said, "That's the king who has a harem concubine." ”
Yuexi blinked, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said, "You say, if the king knew that the eldest prince was secretly choosing a harem for himself, what would he be feeling?" ”
Dui Chun was stunned when she heard this, glanced at Gongsun Lan, and hesitated: "Your Excellency shouldn't believe it, right...... Compared with the capital, this Huai'an City can be regarded as a poor and remote country, and the eldest prince's vision will not be so bad, so choose some daughters of small families of merchants and ordinary people here to go back......"
Yuexi retorted: "Jun Shang is far away in the capital, how do you know that the mountains and waters of Huai'an City are not beautiful, and the girls in Huai'an City are not beautiful?" ”
Twilight was speechless for a moment, I'm afraid it depends on whether the king's imagination is rich......
Yuexi said: "I heard that the magistrate of Huicheng also wants to send his daughter to the eldest prince, and he has hit Lord Liu with his idea." Hahaha...... But Lord Liu has been sent here and there under the eldest prince all day long, and every time I see him, I feel that he is going to be so scared that he pees his pants, how dare he do such a small action under the nose of the eldest prince......"
Twilight Spring was also a little speechless, and while talking to Yuexi, she hugged the quilt and laid it out for Gongsun Lan.
Gongsun Lan had finished washing and shrunk back to the bed. Because of the Kwai Shui, the body inevitably felt tired, listening to the two girls talking, slowly closed the eyelids, and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it was, but she opened her eyes in a drowsy state and saw someone waving to her in the thick fog.
She vaguely saw that the man's hand was tied with a plain white handkerchief, faintly bleeding.
Hey? Wasn't this the time when Master was injured and the handkerchief she tied to his hand? It's been so long, isn't the injury healing? Gongsun Lan hurriedly ran into the fog, walked two steps, but felt that something was wrong under his feet, and looked down to see that he was actually wearing a pair of clogs, and he made a clattering sound when he walked.
This is the clogs that Master made for her, and she only wore them on rainy days.
Passing through the fog, I heard the sound of rain. She saw the master sitting under the porch watching the rain, and hurriedly happily lifted the corner of her skirt and ran towards him. The two sat at the table, and a pear tree outside was wet with rain, like a girl crying with a flowery face. A faint earthy smell hung around the two, and everything was so pleasant and familiar.
Gongsun Lan opened her mouth and asked, "Master, are you okay?" But she didn't hear her own voice, nor did she hear Master's answer.
She was a little anxious, the rain outside fell more and more urgently, the pear blossoms were crackled and smashed a drop, under the corridor, on the stone table, more and more, a place of white, these whites gradually turned into white mist, slowly covering the master's figure......
Gongsun Lan stood up and shouted to Master, Master, but there was silence around him, and everything around him seemed to freeze. She froze where she was, feeling like she was out of breath, out of her heartbeat, and then her whole body sank.
It turned out to be a dream......
Gongsun Lan woke up from the nightmare, clutched his chest, and returned to the water like a dying fish, gasping for breath, and it took a while to recover.
It had been several years since she had returned to this world, and this was the first time she had dreamed of Master.
At that time, she died in the hands of Yan Hong and Tang Nian, and she was unwilling. never expected that she would be born and raised in another world, learn martial arts with her master, and travel all over the mountains and rivers. Because she is holding her resentment against Yan Hong in her stomach, she has a perverse temperament, and everyone on the rivers and lakes says that she is a bad star and moody. Master also said that if you can't calm this grievance, you will never be able to be yourself again.
Later, she was inexplicably struck back here by lightning.
After returning here, she remembered everything, but she couldn't remember the appearance of the master, and even when she dreamed, the appearance of the master was stuck in the fog and could not be seen clearly.
It's weird......
There was a burst of pain in the lower abdomen, Gongsun Lan finally recovered from the loss of consciousness, there was a clear song of birds in his ears, and there was already a bright light outside through the window, such a short dream, the night had passed?
Outside the door, Twilight Chun heard the movement, and gently pushed the door in, and saw that she was indeed awake, so she asked, "Why is the girl's face not very good, if her body is really uncomfortable, don't go out today." ”
Gongsun Lan's lips opened slightly, but she didn't make any sound, as if the loss of voice in the dream just now continued to reality. After a long while, her mind was still swirling over Master's bloody palm and blurred face, and she always felt that something was going to happen...... Is Master looking for her?
"Girl?" Twilight called out to her in confusion.
It took a long time for Gongsun Lan to find his voice, shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”
Wash and go out, bypass the pink wall and shine on the wall, and under the corridor, I saw that in the flower hall opposite, Yuexi pinched a bun and beckoned to her, "Girl, come on, today's buns are very delicious!" Hmm......" he said, stuffing half of the bun in his hand into his mouth.
Twilight Chun's face darkened, but Gongsun Lan's fluttering thoughts were dispelled by Yuexi's smile: "Is it a bun bought on Sanli Street?" ”
Seeing that Gongsun Lan's attention also fell on the buns, Du Chun couldn't help but cry and laugh: "Exactly, Yuexi said that the girl is not feeling well, and it will be fine if she eats something she likes." I went to buy it early in the morning, and the girls didn't get up, I couldn't help it, I stole the buns and ate them first......"
Gongsun Lan couldn't laugh, rewarded Yuexi with a burst, Yuexi covered her head and smiled, she held the porridge and handed it to Gongsun Lan, "Girl, let's go to the yamen today to appreciate the beauty?" ”
"Well, if you're bored, stay at home."
Yuexi glared: "It's not boring, it's not boring...... It's boring to stay at home. She was afraid that Gongsun Lan would keep her at home, not to mention how interesting it was to choose a maid, it was like going to a theater garden. These women can sing and dance, be literate and martial, and have a variety of tricks, not to mention how interesting they are.
After eating, the group took the carriage to the alley behind the yamen as usual, and then climbed over the wall and entered.
There is no way, before the hour comes, the circle of the yamen is already surrounded by people.
"Alright, you're all set, let's get started today."
Gongsun Lan sat in the side hall of the government in men's clothes, and three screens were set up in front of him.
The first screen asks about the origin, family history, age, etc., and only those who pass can enter the second screen to listen to the questioning. If there are those who have good looks and outstanding talents, they will enter the third screen and wait for the final screening, which can be said to be very strict.
It is precisely because of this that the people in Huai'an City are convinced of this, and they all think that it is the intention of the eldest prince himself, and he really wants to choose a few personal servants for himself, and when the war ends, he will definitely bring them back to the capital. Therefore, everyone geared up and took out their ability to press the bottom of the box.
Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, hops, tea, singing and dancing girls......
Gongsun Lan has been full of eyes in the past ten days and half a month, anyway, her goal has basically been achieved, so now she is only leisurely, slowly appreciating songs, dancing and beauties! Of course, there are also ironic ones. In the end, more than 50 people passed the third screen. So Gongsun Lan decided to set up a ring and select the last ten people among these people.
At the end of the day today, there were few particularly outstanding ones, until the heavenly palace was dim, the stars and the moon flowed, and there was a faint glow, and the last two opponents mobilized everyone's more and more critical tastes.
On the left and right rings, the two women have reached the moment of final decision on the winner.
The woman in purple on the left is dancing a song "Li Pinggong Hou Yin", this song has the performance effect of crying ghosts and gods, moving the world, and breaking the earth, plus this woman dances like a shock, turning left and right, fast as the wind, and Gongsun Lan can't help but secretly admire, I didn't expect that there are such talented women in this Huai'an City, even she wants to be in the bag, and enjoy it every day.
The girl in the yellow shirt on the right also sang to the climax of the song at this time, her voice was clear and high-pitched, and she was not affected in the tune of the opposite ring, and her timbre was clear and recognizable, which showed her singing skills. A song "Guangling San" attracted the dancing women in purple to look at her sideways.
When the two stopped dancing, the people in the room were still holding their breath and still unfinished.
Gongsun Lan was very happy, and Yuexi and the others also watched it with relish, clapping their hands behind the bead curtain.
"The talents of the two are exquisite, and it is really difficult to choose, so let's leave their names!"
Gongsun Lan was very satisfied today, and was about to get up to end today's selection, after the two of them listened, the woman in the yellow shirt showed joy when she heard this, and she retired with a happy salute. But the dancing woman in purple hesitated and did not leave.
Seeing her like this, Gongsun Lan asked, "What else do you have to say?" ”
The woman in purple knelt on the ground with a thud, and her forehead slammed on the ground: "Little woman Magpie Yu, please forgive the little woman for the crime of deception......
