Chen Zhenyi set off very early.

The genius had just turned a little pale, and the servants in charge of cleaning had just gotten up sleepily to work, and Chen Zhenyi had already finished cleaning up, and wanted to catch up with the first wave of the city gate and set off. He left so early, and the day before he didn't announce the time as everyone did, so that juniors like Lin Yijia and Lin Jiakang, even if they wanted to send him out, they didn't get up in time.

Lin Yijia later heard that her aunt couldn't catch up.

Hearing this news, Lin Yijia's heart was a little sour. In her opinion, a man like Chen Zhenyi is really a very good husband - such single-mindedness, how many men in this world can do it? And what about that one? There are three palaces and six courtyards, and there are countless concubines...... However, Lin Yijia also understands that emotional matters are unreasonable. His aunt had always been thinking about that one in her heart, and she had almost nothing but disgust for her uncle...... Alas.

Then, my uncle can leave Shengjing, and he doesn't have to stay here and suffer from people's strange eyes, and he doesn't have to see and hear some things with his own eyes...... It's nice to be able to avoid it.

Lin Yijia didn't dwell on this matter too much.

Because a holy decree suddenly came out of the palace, it alarmed the entire Shengjing City, and at a very fast speed, it caused a sensation in the entire Daxian.

On the first day of the fifth month, under the holy decree, the world was drafted.

- After two terms of silence, that is, six years later, the harem is going to be elected again.

This will is both unexpected and expected.

Emperor Jinghe reigned for thirteen years and only conducted two drafts. The scale of the first year of Jinghe was very small. It was just through a flower-viewing banquet that invited the ladies of the right age in Shengjing, and a total of eight ladies were selected for different degrees of canonization, for example, Concubine De, the mother of the three princes, was the best of the year. The scale of Jinghe's four-year and Jinghe's draft is not large, but it is just carried out according to the normal draft procedure, and the number of canonized people has also increased a few times, a total of twelve show girls live in Chuxiu Palace. After that, there should have been a general election in the seventh year of Jinghe, but Emperor Jinghe found a reason to refuse.

And this time the draft. The scale is unprecedented - nationwide, but all the three generations of relatives in the family have more than seven official positions, aged between 12 and 18 years old, and have not decided on a family matter, regardless of the concubine, are among the candidates!

As you can imagine. What a huge undertaking it would be!

Although this election is definitely not only to fill the harem, but also to choose concubines for several princes who have grown up...... But...... Such a draft scale is unprecedented in the more than 100 years since the founding of the country!

This also means that among the girls living in the Lin Mansion now, except for Feng Mengyun and Lin Huijia and Lin Shijia, the other six girls will go to participate in the draft!

"This ...... Isn't that an exaggeration? Mrs. Lin frowned: "Twelve years old is too young." Even if you win the election, what can you do? Do you want to raise it in the harem for three or five years? But the harem kind of place. Ten good girls go in, and it would be nice to leave one or two in the end, will they wait until they grow up? Moreover, in an official family, which family does not have three or five daughters of appropriate age? If a swarm of people are going to apply, what will it be?! In previous years, the family was just a candidate...... How did you ...... this year?"

Mrs. Lin muttered in her heart: Is Emperor Jinghe's head broken?

Husband and wife for one or two decades. Lin Shiqing actually knew what his wife was muttering in his heart. Just, at this moment. He didn't have the heart to laugh at his wife about it—he really couldn't get at ease.

The ancestors of the Lin family said that the daughters of the Lin family did not enter the harem and did not enter the prince's mansion.

Before thinking about it, Lin Yuan'er and the three princes at that time were obviously very compatible, and with the Lin family's love for their children, they also ruthlessly broke them up and married Lin Yuan'er to someone else...... But this time it's different. It's a draft, it's a holy decree! If any of the four girls of the Lin family are selected, it will be disrespectful if they do not enter the palace at that time!

That's a different story!

If it really comes to that point, can the Lin family resist the decree? Although Lin Shiqing wanted to, the answer could obviously only be - no.

Lin Shiqing sighed slightly and said, "What matters now is to quickly think of a way, how can you make a few children not choose." ”

Mrs. Lin said with a straight face: "It's not that there is no way. It's just that, Shiqing, there are four girls in our house to go! Our so-called method, one is to quickly find someone to say that they have agreed to exchange tokens; And then there is nothing more than an excuse to pretend to be ugly and pretend to be sick. But if the four children can't apply for the election at the same time, isn't this clearly telling Emperor Jinghe that our Lin family doesn't look down on you royal girls and doesn't want to choose for you? ”

This is a slap in the face!

The Lin family gave Emperor Jing and Emperor a crisp slap on this issue eighteen years ago! If in the past, Emperor Jinghe was busy with government affairs and there was no shortage of all kinds of beautiful women, he might not think of Lin Yuan'er, and he might not be willing to think of the pain of the past. But this time Lin Yuan'er returned to Shengjing, and as soon as the two met, if he didn't have any resentment in his heart, he would be called a ghost!

And at this time, if the Lin family once again made excuses for all four girls not to be selected, what would Emperor Jinghe think, do you still need to ask?!

When he was slapped in the face, he was still a prince who was not too glamorous at that time. But now, they have been ruling the world for thirteen years! It's the emperor who holds the authority of the world!

Back then, the Lin family had Duke Wen Xian, who was an important minister of the empire, and he didn't have to worry too much about a prince. Well, even, the Lin family was so desperate back then, and told the emperor at that time, saying, look, look, my Lin family is only loyal to the king and is a pure minister...... Can you still gain the trust and appreciation of the emperor at that time...... And now, Duke Wen Xian has been dead for nearly twenty years, and the Lin family only has one fourth grade in the officialdom......

"Three make excuses to push it away, and one chooses." Lin Shiqing understood it, and no longer procrastinated: "Min'er is old, and she said that she has already made a marriage." For the rest, Yi'er ...... Harmony sings ......"

Of course, he also wanted to get his little daughter down. But the question is, what will Second Master Lin and Xiao Li think? What did the two girls think? Does Aunt Fu have any plans in her heart?

"We're going to lose." Mrs. Lin said: "If anyone wants to go wrong, it will not be good...... Therefore, how to choose this candidate still needs to be considered. ”

"Then a few of them, let's wait a few days." Lin Shiqing waved his hand, rubbed his brows, and asked Mrs. Lin, "Now let's talk about Min'er...... Do you have any good candidates? This matter is troublesome, if it was a few days earlier, it would be good to give Min'er to Song Jie...... The ...... of this time and a half"

Mrs. Lin was reluctant to marry her daughter to Song Jie, but Lin Shiqing always felt that Song Jie's was still a very good candidate - he knew the roots, his character and talent were very good, and because of his own reasons, he would definitely be very good to his "junior sister...... However, in terms of his daughter's marriage, he is still willing to respect his wife's intentions, and he does not have to make Song Jie his son-in-law.

Speaking of Song Jie, he remembered that he had two other students.

Wei Chen is a concubine, this is not the key, the key is that his home is very troublesome; And Qin Mingyuan ......

Mrs. Lin immediately said: "I have two suitable ones here, you can listen to them." ”

She said with a straight face: "A few days ago in the Song Mansion, our mothers also received a few ladies. One of them is the second wife of the Dou family, her husband is Dou Lianli, and she is the secretary of Dali Temple......"

Lin Shiqing nodded: "I have met him a few times, and I heard that he is an upright person but can be flexible, and his ability is also good." It should be able to go up a few liters in the future. The Dou family is a noble family, and the family style is also good...... Which child is it? ”

Mrs. Lin said: "It's their second son, named Dou Libai." He is only fifteen years old this year, and he has just won a show, and he has not yet had time to participate in the provincial examination and the general examination. According to the second lady Dou herself, the child was quiet, a very gentle child, and had never lost any temper...... And Mrs. Dou herself said that she took a fancy to Min'er's cool and troublesome temperament, and felt that the children of these two temperaments complement each other when they are together, and it is easy to live a good life. In her words, her son is quiet enough, and if the daughter-in-law she marries is also demure, will the young couple not speak for a day? ”

Second Mrs. Dou spoke interestingly, and this last insight was also quite to Mrs. Lin's taste, so Mrs. Lin took this matter to heart. With her original wishes, she also wanted to find a husband with a gentle temperament and tolerance for Lin Minjia...... It's just that there have been too many things recently, and she hasn't bothered to go any further for a while. She originally thought that Lin Minjia was still young, and that Dou Libai was not very old, so she was not in a hurry to take her time, but she didn't expect that she was very anxious all of a sudden.

"Sounds pretty good." Lin Shiqing thought for a while and asked, "Who else?" ”

"Also, you also know that Kang Yongtong and that kid used to worship you as a teacher." Mrs. Lin had a little smile on her face: "We also know that child, and he is good in all aspects." Moreover, it is said that it was set in Guangzhou, let alone the past. Moreover, as far as I can see, Yongtong seems to have a little bit of meaning to our Min'er, but Min'er is quite sluggish and completely unaware. Before, I thought that Shengjing and Guangzhou are thousands of miles apart, and the child is still young...... But for now, nothing else matters......"

Moreover, Mrs. Lin has always wanted to find a gentle and tolerant husband for Lin Minjia...... As for Kang Yongtong, he is also a hearty and a little rough, that is, he has a big grinning personality......

Lin Shiqing nodded.

Parents in the world, if there is no unavoidable reason, who is willing to marry their daughter away from home. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
