Steward Su gave an order, and one after another delicacies were served on the table, and these meals were not only elegantly presented, but also tasted excellent.

I thought to myself, if the fat monk could come in, I guess I would gobble up a meal.

After the meal, Steward Su asked the maid to lead the ladies out.

"Be careful!" Long Xuanling whispered in my ear.

"Hmm." I nodded slightly, thinking to myself, is this going to take us to General Xiahou to see?

Just thinking about it, Ma Jianfei's daughter Ma Hongyu ran over, grabbed my arm, and called my sister with a very affectionate look.

It's just that the smell of fat powder on this girl's body is so strong that I can't help but hold my breath, and my steps can't help but be much faster.

After a while, the maid in front of us led us to the third floor.

Once we got to the third floor, we lined up into a small room, and I stood behind and looked around, wondering what the people in that room were doing.

However, every time a girl entered, the door would close.

"Sister Manting, are you afraid?" Ma Hongyu asked me inexplicably.

I was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically, "What are you afraid of?" ”

"Feel the bones and look at the face, I heard that there is also a need to collect blood." Ma Hongyu knew what the people inside were doing.

"Touching the bones and looking at the face? Still taking blood? Why is that? "I'm a little confused.

"Sister Manting, what are you pretending to be confused, this General Xiahou marries a concubine, and touching the bones and seeing the appearance is the most basic." Ma Hongyu looked unimpressed.

"That red jade, that General Xiahou is a handful of years old, you, you, do you really want to marry him?" I saw that the girls in front of me and behind me were all young people, and they were all eager to marry an old man who could be my grandfather.

"What's wrong with being old? Look at how magnificent this Xiahou Mansion is, General Xiahou has only one son, died many years ago, and has no other heirs, and this property will be divided by the concubines in the future, and the family property I got will not be able to spend several lifetimes. "Ma Hongyu took a bite of me, as if she had been chosen.

I really don't agree with her thoughts: "But you are still young, you can work hard to earn that money in the future, why bother?" ”

"Sister Manting, you're not the same as me, why are you pretending to be so tall?" Ma Hongyu directly interrupted me.

I opened my mouth, thinking about who I am now, as if that was indeed the case.

Qin Manting's gorgeous outfit must also be bent on making General Xiahou take a fancy to her.

"Next!"

In the blink of an eye, it was my turn, and the maid pushed open the door and led me into the room, which was surrounded by brown bookshelves, and on the shelves there were many books, which looked like a study, but in the middle of the room hung a very thin curtain, and in front of the curtain was a circle chair.

The maid motioned for me to sit down, and I sat down immediately.

"Click!"

Soon there was footsteps behind the curtain, and I saw a dark figure walking in my direction, and finally sat down face to face with me.

Through the curtain, I saw that the other person was wearing a red mask.

"Bring your face closer."

The voice of the other party was that of a man, and when I heard it, it was supposed to be someone of some age.

I could only obediently lean my face over, and behind the curtain, suddenly a pair of hands stretched out, and I shrank back in fright.

"Come here!" The man seemed a little displeased.

I nodded, and leaned back in, my eyes fixed on his hand.

Although his voice sounded a little old, these hands were a pair of young hands, and there were no wrinkles on them.

His hand touched my face hard, pressed it, and finally let out a low sigh.

As if he was not satisfied with the results, he did not let me go out at once, and motioned for me to put my hand into the curtain.

As soon as I did that, I felt something prick my fingertips.

As soon as he let go of my hand, I immediately retracted my finger and noticed blood spots on the pads of my fingers.

He suddenly took a piece of red palm-sized wooden sign and handed it to me, and then told me to go back and have a good rest.

Why did this attitude suddenly become so gentle again?

I took the sign and walked out of the room in a daze, and as soon as the maid saw the red wooden sign in my hand, she immediately leaned down on me.

He also said congratulatory words, saying that I had passed, and after a while I said hello to my father, I would go up to the fourth floor to wait.

"Oh?" I'm still a little confused, how did this pass in a daze.

However, this is worth rejoicing, if it is passed, does it mean that you can see General Xiahou?

"Sister Manting, congratulations, you are still the first one tonight."

Ma Hongyu said congratulations, but the expression on her face was not good-looking, but these are not important, I went downstairs to report the good news to Long Xuanling.

Looking at the red sign in my hand, the other fathers all stole envious glances at me and Long Xuanling.

However, Long Xuanling's expression was very subtle, as if he was not very happy.

An hour later, all the girls upstairs had been checked, and there were only three of them who had been selected.

Ma Hongyu held a green sign in her hand, looking unwilling.

In terms of appearance, she is slightly better than this Qin Manting's appearance, but she was not selected, so she was naturally annoyed in her heart.

Moreover, Steward Su also announced that those who were not selected would go back immediately after tomorrow's birthday banquet.

This made the girls who were not selected look lonely, and their fathers were all blue.

And I'm going to the fourth floor tonight, and Long Xuanling and the others are arranged in the backyard.

This time, Steward Su took our three girls upstairs, and while walking, he also told us that there was petal water in the house, so that after we took a bath tonight, we would rest early and see General Xiahou tomorrow.

"Yes!" I answered my mouth and looked at the other two girls, they were all happy, but I stared at them for a long time, and felt that these two girls were very ordinary-looking, and one of them could even be said to be not very good-looking, how did they get selected? What criteria did this Xiahou Mansion use to choose the aunt?

"You live in this room!"

Just as he was pondering, Steward Su opened his mouth, and his eyes were looking at me.

I hurriedly nodded and opened the door, the room had been lit with red candles, and everything in the house was very much like the old house in my Luo Mansion, the old house was the old lady, that is, my grandmother lived, and all the ornaments in it were wooden, and exuded an old atmosphere.

I looked at the carved wooden bed in the distance, and the wooden barrel behind the screen in the left corner, and I felt a little eerie.

After entering the house, I closed the door with some trepidation, but as soon as the door was closed, a pair of big hands suddenly hugged me from behind.
