Chapter 14: The draft begins

With the passage of time, it slowly came to the day of Yun Yao's draft. On this morning, there were still stars in the sky, and Yun Yao was called by the grandmother to freshen up and dress up.

The entire Niu Colu family seems to have been awakened, and the masters and maids of all sizes have already gathered, busy for their own Gege draft. In Baqi, the draft of their own Gege is definitely a big event, and the daughter of Baqi calls her aunt and grandmother at home, and the draft can be described as a major event related to the life of the show girl and her family.

Ma Jiashi did not participate in the draft that year, so she asked her younger sister Tong Jiashi to learn from him about some hidden taboos of the draft. Even if Ma Jiashi knew that his daughter was valued by the emperor and sent a grandmother to his daughter, this still couldn't stop Ma Jia's worries.

The draft is divided into primary selection and secondary selection, and today Yun Yao is going to the primary selection. Recently, Wu Lu has also been busy with the draft, and Wu Lu needs to understand the situation of all the show girls of the right age in his charge one by one, and then make a record.

Today, Wu Lu was in charge of bringing the show girl to the Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City, so Yun Yao was escorted to the Shenwu Gate by his uncle Chamuda, cousin Ling Bao and Ling Tai, and the mule cart on which Yun Yao sat was planted with the sign of 'Wu Lu on the yellow flag to lead Wu Lu's daughter'. Yun Yao's peers only have brothers, not sisters. She was the only girl, so her draft was watched by everyone.

As the sun slowly rose, Yun Yao's first round of selection ended quickly, and there was no need to go into detail. Few people were brushed off in the first round of selection, and the show girls who were brushed off could marry on their own. However, in addition to the unbearable defects that have been brushed down so early, most of them are also poor Eight Banners. The slightest bit of power in the family will not let the show girl be brushed off in the first round, otherwise it will be a slap in the face. Therefore, the show girls who have been brushed off rarely find good relatives. Everyone will speculate whether the show girl has a big flaw and failed to pass.

Then the passing show girl was re-selected, Yun Yao followed everyone into the legendary house, and Yun Yao prepared her purse and prepared it for a while to be stuffed by the inspecting grandmother. This is what Ma Jiashi asked others to know, and silver must be prepared for this level. Sure enough, after a while, a show girl in front of her ran out crying, seeing her clothes and poor family, presumably the family did not prepare money to bribe Mama.

The show girls outside looked tense and didn't dare to say anything. Soon it was Yun Yao's turn to go in to check, and after entering, Yun Yao first stuffed the prepared purse to the mama who was examining, and sure enough, the mama's face was much better, Yun Yao endured her shame and comforted herself that she had only had a gynecological examination. Soon Yun Yao finished the inspection, and the grandmother signaled that Yun Yao had passed the customs, Yun Yao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went out.

After the inspection of the yellow flag, Yun Yao went out of the palace along the original road with everyone, and after going out, Ling Tai was waiting, and when he saw his sister coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Yao'er, you're tired, get on the mule cart and rest for a while, there are some snacks on the car." Ling Tai said with concern when he saw his sister's tired face.

Yun Yao shook her head and didn't say anything, got into the mule cart and went home with Ling Tai. After returning home, Yun Yao was sent back by Ma Jiashi to rest after saying goodbye to Eniang. Yun Yao also went back to ask people to fetch water and take a bath, Yun Yao felt that she was going to leave a psychological shadow. To say that Yun Yao really didn't participate in the draft seriously in her previous life, Yun Yao felt that she had really gained a lot of knowledge.

After two selections, Yun Yao only waited for the palace to determine when to enter the palace and be read by the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress.

But Yun Yao was thinking about the person she saw today, she was dazzled, if she remembered correctly, that person was obviously from the Han Army's Zhenglan Banner, how could he appear there, and the people with her were all from the Zhenghuang Banner and the Yellow Flag. Could it be that she remembered it wrong? But whether she is in the Qing Dynasty or in the modern era, that person should not be here. Even if it was a butterfly effect, she wouldn't have butterflies on that person's head. Although the Eight Banners have contact with each other and are extremely frequent, she has nothing to do with that person.

Seeing that the position she was standing in the Han Army Flag was in line with her memory, but how did she run to the Yellow Flag, did someone cross or be reborn? Yun Yao couldn't help but be a little flustered when she thought of this, one of her grasps of entering the palace was to rely on her own memory, if the person in her memory changed, she didn't know if she could handle it.

Whether it is crossing or being reborn, he is afraid that he will find Yun Yao's outlier. If it's okay to cross over, they are not familiar with the changes in history, and they will only think that they are small people in history, how can they bear with the pride of the time-traveler that they are not the only ones? If someone is born again, what was the person's previous life? Was there her in her previous life? You must know that there is no her in Kangxi's harem in the official history!

Yun Yao stood up suddenly, no, if she crossed over, once she knew that her younger brother's name was Ling Zhu, wouldn't she be a target when she entered the palace? Even if there are too many duplicate names in the Eight Banners, but the surname Niu Hulu and the name Ling Zhu are very concerned, if that person would rather kill than miss it, then Yun Yao will be unlucky.

Yun Yao knows the mentality of those crossing women, I am afraid that even if every crossing girl is not going to Yongzheng, she will not be able to help but kill the future Qianlong's biological mother. The women who traveled through to the Qing Dynasty either gave birth to Yongzheng or married Yongzheng, and then killed Niu Hulu, who gave birth to the brainless dragon, and Qianlong ruined the Qing Dynasty in the future. Thinking about it this way, she is very dangerous.

Now Yun Yao can't wait to change the name of her younger brother, 'Daughter of Lingzhu of the Four Grades of Ceremony' What a big target! No, I coaxed Ling Zhu to change his name, after all, the Niu Hulu family really has the same name and surname as Ling Zhu, as for what will happen if she changes her name in the future, Yun Yao believes that with her in Ling Zhu, she will definitely not get the grace seal until she is old, and it will definitely not be worse than in her previous life.

The next day, Yun Yao told Wu Lu and his wife about this again, of course, she would not say anything about crossing women. It's just that Ling Zhu is going to officially go to the clan to study, and there is really a person with the same name and surname as Ling Zhu in the clan, that person is the baby son of the patriarch, the most domineering, there is no need to have disputes about this, and Ling Zhu has a big name for official study, and Ling Zhu should be regarded as a nickname. Speaking of which, Ling Zhu has not yet been on the family tree, maybe it was the person who saw Ling Zhu and his name as him and made his parents bad.

When Ling Zhu next to him heard this, he didn't wait for Wu Lu to speak, and hurriedly agreed, in fact, Ling Zhu had a lot of conflicts with that Ling Zhu because of his name, and Ling Zhu also didn't want to have the same name with others because of the child's desire for exclusivity.

Wu Lu saw that both his sister and brother said that they wanted to change their names, so they remembered one thing, saying that there were many people with the same name in the Eight Banners, that was a man named Mu Zhang'a, he was a petty official in the Ministry of Industry, and wanted to be promoted to a good place, and then he finally climbed up to a powerful person, and the powerful man helped him casually, and when he reported to the Ministry of Officials, he found that the official position of the previous activity was topped by an official with the same name, and that person also had the same name and surname as him. Of course, this person quit and made a big fuss about the ministry, but unfortunately when I inquired, that person had already joined the company, and the people in the ministry's department didn't want to trouble recalling any more officials, and they would be the ones who would be hung up at that time. Therefore, the matter was settled, and Mu Zhang'a also offended the oily officials. Because of this matter, Mu Zhang'a has not been promoted to an official for many years.

Wu Lu thought that in the future, his son might have something like that person because of his name, and there was something wrong in his heart, so he agreed to change Ling Zhu's name.
