"Dong Shi, we all think you are more beautiful than Xi Shi." A woman next to her laughed.

Shi Bing'er took the basin with yarn, turned her head and glared at it coquettishly. The women hid their faces and smiled.

"I can't tell Madame about this yet. But Madame should know that we are not bad people, and that we do not mean to hurt you when we ask this. The old man said politely to Shi Bing'er.

Seeing this, Shi Bing'er didn't ask any more questions, nodded at the old man and was about to turn around and leave.

"Madame, wait!" The old man stretched out his hand and said, stopping Shi Bing'er's departure.

Shi Bing'er looked back at the old man and said, "I'm not married, don't call me Mrs. sir." ”

"Huh? Madame is not married yet? The old man looked surprised.

Shi Bing'er frowned, and said helplessly: "What else is there to do with Mr.?" ”

When the old man heard this, his face was happy: "Madame...... The girl is so beautiful as a flower, why hasn't she ever married? ”

Shi Bing'er is really a little angry when she hears about marriage now. The mother took care of the uncle, and the uncle began to urge the relatives one by one after the uncle. Now that even a stranger has to ask why you haven't married yet, I can't help but feel a little angry, and my face is a little indifferent: "What the old gentleman said, you have to marry if you are beautiful?" The most beautiful women in our village are not married, so they will not be punished by God. After speaking, he hugged the yarn basin and turned around and left.

The old man shouted a few times behind but didn't stop, so he could only follow Shi Bing'er up to the mountains and forests.

There is silence in the mountains and forests, but there are cicadas boiling in the silence.

The old man was panting after him, and Shi Bing'er, who was walking in front, felt the weakness of the old man behind, so he stopped and turned to look at the old man who was walking with the support of the young man.

"What the hell is the matter with you? Let's put it bluntly. "Rao is Shi Bing'er's good temper, and he is also a little impatient.

The old man looked around the silent mountains and forests, turned back to Shi Bing'er, and first bent down and saluted: "The old man is a doctor, for the sake of the Yue country, I bothered the girl." ”

When Shi Bing'er heard that it was the doctor of Yue Guo, she quickly suppressed the look of surprise on her face, her expression turned up, and she said politely: "Please speak up." ”

The old man straightened up, looked at Shi Bing'er, and said after deep thought: "We came here this time to Yue Guo. Now that there is a need for good-looking women in the Yue Guo Palace, the king appointed me and Dr. Fan Li to look around the country. ”

Shi Bing'er listened to the old man's words, she wanted to know what to do with a beauty, but she didn't ask much after all. After all, if the other party's identity is not mentioned, she doesn't want to ask too much. Wait until the other party wants to talk about it.

"I see." Shi Bing'er nodded: "If that's the case, it's the right place for the two adults to come here." There are not many other good things in our ramie village, but there are many beauties. But whether they are willing to follow the adults to the Yue Palace, I don't know. ”

As the words fell, there was a noise in the mountains and forests, and the three of them turned their heads to look. From behind the big tree came a young woman, who looked to be about twenty years old, with a graceful body and a moth brow.

The old man looked at the woman, felt that it was really amazing and beautiful, and then looked back at Shi Bing'er, compared with the two, he still felt that Shi Bing'er's gentle atmosphere was a little better.

The woman carried a bundle of firewood on her back and an axe pinned to her waist. Coarse linen clothes can't hide their natural beauty. She seemed to have just seen the three people in front of her, and called Shi Bing'er "Sister Dongshi." He walked behind her and covered his posture.

After being amazed, Wen Chong continued to look at Shi Bing'er and said, "I don't know if there are still beautiful women in the village?" If so, bother the lady...... The tired girl led the way. ”

"Naturally, there is." Shi Bing'er said: "It's just that I want to go back with the yarn, and I'll take you there after I dry the yarn." ”

"Very good, very good." Wen Chong thanked.

The three of them walked in the woods.

Zheng Dan, who was following Shi Bing'er, opened his mouth hesitantly, and said to Shi Bing'er: "Sister Dong Shi, but you want to take them to see Sister Xi Shi?" ”

Shi Bing'er nodded in response: "Yes, isn't she the most beautiful in our village." ”

Zheng Dan stuck out his tongue when he heard this, leaned into Dong Shi's ear and whispered: "Sister Dong Shi always says this, but most people in the village say that you are better-looking." ”

Shi Bing'er didn't argue with her, she just shook her head and said, "You don't understand." "Sometimes it's not just about the beauty of the facial features. There is also a temperament from the inside out, that irreplaceable arrogant and beautiful temperament. She didn't, but Shih Tzu did.

Zheng Dan didn't say much about this, and only said: "Since they are Sister Xi Shi, then I'll take them there." It just so happens that I also live in the West Village, so I don't need you to make another trip. ”

Dong Shi listened to Zheng Dan's words, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay." Then he turned his head to Wen Chong behind him and said, "My lord, I won't take you over." This Zheng Dan girl will live in the West Village, and she will take you there. She was going back to dry the yarn.

Wen Chong nodded and said to Zheng Dan: "Then there is Miss Lao." ”

The sun is dappled in the mountains, and the birds are playing.

Zheng Dan walked in front with a bundle of firewood on his back, leading the way without saying a word.

Wen Chong followed behind, looking at the scene in the mountains, as if he had thought of something, turned his head to the handsome man and said, "After coming to Yue, you often come here." I didn't understand it before, but now that I think about it, you should have known that there are so many beautiful people in this ramie village? ”

"There are so many beauties, but there is no one I want." Fan Li's tone was light.

Wen Chong sighed and couldn't help but persuade: "Young uncle, you are already thirty and five. In a few years, it will be the year of no confusion. You can't keep not marrying and not having children like this. Even if it's not for yourself, think about your mother. ”

Fan Li has heard this many times. There are no traces of the ear.

Zheng Dan in front turned his head, glanced at Wen Chong and Fan Li, and quickly turned around.

After a while, he turned his head again, looked at Wen Chong and Fan Li, and said timidly: "Are you looking for a beauty to take to the Yue Palace to serve the king?" ”

Wen Chong heard the words and looked at Zheng Dan. Then he spoke: "It's not convenient to talk to the girl now, if the girl goes to the Yue Palace with us, she will know." ”

When Zheng Dan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked back at Wen Chong: "Did Mr. say that I can go to the Yue Palace with you?" ”

Wen Chong looked at Zheng Dan and smiled, and said, "This may not be." For this trip, we need to select ten beauties from all over the country. Now that eight have been chosen, there are only two left to be chosen.

The two are to be chosen, and I look at the Dongshi girl who is very good. The behavior is elegant. There is only one left to be chosen. ”

Zheng Dan frowned, and whispered tentatively: "Dong Shi will not be willing to go with you." "Dong Shi has a favorite person, and for this reason, he has rejected many men from wealthy families. There is also a sick old mother at home. How could he leave his old mother to be the king's concubine in the Chu Palace, a hundred miles away.
