Chapter 104: Blind date
Pillow Chun didn't care about this matter, but after a few days of replying to the letter, there was a craze in Lejing to see each other and get married. Probably the news of the draft next year was released, and the daughters of official families who were of the right age but did not want to enter the palace began to get married.
It's also an extremely interesting thing.
The ancestral rules of the Great Wei State were originally a three-year election, and all official eunuch women of appropriate age had to participate in the draft. Every time the draft is grand, the selection is layered, and the best ones are finally selected to be retained as concubines or assigned by the queen mother to marry the emperor's relatives, or there are not a few people who are promoted to female officials with lower family backgrounds.
In the Mu Beiyi Dynasty, Queen Yuan was not in a hurry to stand after the loss. Without the Lord's feeder, the matter of this draft is not so important, and the rules are much looser. Nowadays, if a woman in the family has been elected, the rest of the sisters do not have to run, and this is also a rule that is gradually becoming a rule. In addition, Mu Beiyi is not a son of heaven who is greedy for women, and he has always been lukewarm to the harem, and some nobles with more extensive connections do not expect this crooked neck tree to be hanged.
Therefore, the matter of the draft is also able to live and live, so as not to offend the nobles. For example, revealing the news before the draft, so that women who are unwilling to draft are engaged in advance or make a way not to participate in the audition, has now become common sense.
Naturally, Ye Tingsi acted like this, which can be regarded as Mu Beiyi's acquiescence.
In this way, the reputation of the people of Lejing for the Son of Heaven has reached another level. Everyone will praise that our Majesty's heirs are thin but they don't love women, they don't even care much about the draft, and now they acquiesce to the free marriage of noble girls. It's really a rare time to meet a Ming gentleman in a hundred years! Hooray, hooray, hooray!
As everyone knows, there have been two or three emperors in a hundred years, and the first two or three are either too benevolent and gentle, or too impatient and violent. In general, it is indeed inferior to Mu Beiyi.
In other words, it is indeed not as good as Mu Beiyi to play the "emperor".
Each family has the news of the acquiescence of the Son of Heaven and the court division, and heard that the concubines in the palace have been damaged. Especially Liu Rouge, the baby daughter of Lord Liu, who was the first master of the Chinese book, entered the inner palace and only sealed the beauty, and was given a death rod. Even Lord Liu was dismissed and cut off. It can be seen that this His Majesty Wen Taowu is naturally rare, but Yan Huan is not a gentle and easy to get along with.
Some people remembered that the Shi family, who had been glorious for a long time and had favored the harem, had sat on the throne of the imperial concubine, and was only one step away from the throne. Now he didn't even chase the seal, and even his sisters and brothers were assigned. It is conceivable that the harem of the imperial city is not easy to come by in peace.
Therefore, many noble ladies guessed that this son of heaven was difficult to serve, and she was unwilling to be drafted.
At this point, the wind of blind date prevailed in the entire Great Wei Dynasty, and Lejing was the imperial capital, so it was naturally the first to bear the brunt. There are ladies who are quite respected among the nobles and the nobles, and they draw up a roster of unmarried young men in the city, called the "Yushu Bang"; For the most noble families to choose and say goodbye.
There are several brothers in the family of the county lord of Fufeng who have been named county men, and they are also considered lords, and now they are occupying a place on the "Yushu List". When he talked about it in the morning, the lord of Fufeng was a little unhappy: "The brothers of this palace are all excellent in terms of talent and appearance, so they can naturally be worthy of the word Yushu." But to say that the Yushu list was just born by the luck of the draft, didn't we just draft the show three years ago, how can we choose it now? ”
Yu Guiyi Meng came half a minute late today because of taking care of the eldest princess, and was said a few cool words by the lord of Fufeng, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart. Now hearing this, the cuffs of the peacock blue woven gold satin with only the willow leaves on his sleeves sneered: "Your Majesty's heirs are thin, so it is natural to recruit concubines and concubines, so as to extend the heirs of the heavenly family." If maybe the Fufeng County Lord has the stomach to add an heir to His Majesty, the old ministers will not beg His Majesty for the draft repeatedly. ”
The county lord of Fufeng heard it harshly, turned around with some annoyance, looked at Yu Guiyi, and the golden glass steps on his head shook crisply: "You are just a princess." ”
Yu Guiyi was about to argue for a few sentences, but was interrupted by a light cough from Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi Shufei combed a dignified high bun today, only a simple hairpin with an atmospheric white jade inlaid gold peony, with a pair of red gold inlaid mutton fat white jade scratching head. She still had a gentle smile on her face, and said in a round field: "The lords are all sisters, why bother to fight for this time?" Since the Ministry of Rites and the Ting Division have already planned to select rookies for the coming year, it is naturally good to add a few more sisters. ”
The crescent moon sat on the farthest seat, wearing a moon-white arrow-embroidered gown, but the hem of the Luofu pleated skirt was half-new. She lowered her head but responded to Concubine Qi's words: "What Niangniang said is that the concubine is also looking forward to a new sister coming." ”
"The newly selected are all nobles from the family, and I don't know any of the Yue maidens."
"The Moon Maiden doesn't look at her humble background. How can everyone be called a sister? ”
The county lord of Fufeng and Yu Guiyi were still arguing a moment ago, and at this moment, they couldn't look down on the humble attitude of the crescent moon, and both of them turned their heads and sneered.
Crescent Moon's lips moved, but she didn't speak again.
Seeing that the scene was quiet, Concubine Qi said lightly: "Since she is a royal maid from the seventh grade, she is the little master who can ask for peace." Although the position of the Moon Imperial Maiden is a little shorter, it is also personally promised by His Majesty. The six palaces are harmonious and close like sisters, so that His Majesty can be relieved. ”
Everyone hurriedly agreed: "Follow the teachings of the mother." ”
Only the lord of Fufeng sat on the soft seat and refused to speak.
Concubine Qi Shufei put on a gentle expression again, and looked at the Fufeng County Lord: "Speaking of which, the Wen family is the maiden family of the Queen Mother, and the son-in-law is naturally good, and the so-called 'Yushu List' is naturally worthy of it." It is said that a good man should be a humble gentleman, and with the background status of the Wen family, it is natural that everyone is like this. ”
These words also have the meaning of praising the Wen family, or there is sarcasm, and the lord of Fufeng can't hear it. In this way, the expression of the Fufeng County Lord softened a little, and he raised his delicate chin: "That's nature." I looked at the roster, and it was all one of the best men in Lejing. ”
Pillow Chun thought of the matter of his sister-in-law, so he was distracted, and then he was curious: "Rong Zhaoyi is a noble female county lord, and she has a wide range of knowledge. Without going out, you can see the 'Yushu List' that only the most famous wives in Lejing can see. The concubine's mother is married to Sister Zhang Luo, but my An family is not a deep-rooted family of relatives, so I don't have the opportunity to see this thing. Can Rong Zhaoyi talk to the concubine about this list, so that the concubine can have a long insight? ”
That's a very irony thing to say. Even if the Fufeng County Lord was dissatisfied with Pillow Spring, he couldn't find a rebuttal, so he only showed a little pride: "It's rare for you to ask, this palace is naturally willing to talk about it." After that, he took a sip of the new tea in the Chuncai jade teacup on the case, "In the previous imperial examination, the champion Langya Wang married the eldest princess of the eldest princess and became the master of the horse, and this Tanhua is the eldest son of your family's An family, and it is said that he has already been married." The remaining Gongzi Xie is the eldest son of the Xie family of Chen Jun in Lejing, and he is naturally the hottest young man at the moment. ”
Pillow Chun secretly wrote it down in his heart, made a very interested appearance, and inquired about the concubines in the palace: "But I am a lonely and unheard-of person, I want to come here Xie Dagongzi is from a family, and the talent should be first-class?" ”
The concubines in the palace are not allowed to discuss political affairs and stay in their respective palaces every day, and they are also bored on weekdays, and they are still quite interested in talking about these fashionable words in Lejing. This matter started from the head of the Wen family brothers by the lord of Fufeng, and said that An's mother was a sister Zhang Luo's relatives, which were the reasons for the marriage of the brothers and sisters of the concubines, so he talked about the young talents in Lejing. This can only be regarded as a common talk between concubines and concubines, and it cannot be regarded as excessive. There are few interesting things to talk about, but the conversation is still about talented people, and everyone listens seriously.
It was rare for Concubine Qi Shu to open her mouth, she glanced at Pillow Chun, the look in her eyes was inexplicable, but there was a smile on her mouth: "This eldest son of the Xie family, this palace has heard of it." Needless to say, people are also born upright, and their surroundings are innocent. This Xie family, although he is not a noble now, but the eldest son Xie is also very important, and the door style is blue and white. I heard that the hereditary Qingguo Gong also wanted to marry the palm pearl of his grandson to the eldest prince Xie. Saying that, he rolled his eyebrows, and his voice was gentle, "If this palace is not mistaken, Ming Guiyi once said that there is a sister in the family who is not married. ”
Pillow Chun knew that Concubine Qi Shu's mouth was insulted, and only smiled faintly: "Niangniang has a really good memory." ”
The county lord of Fufeng didn't understand this meaning, but he saw Concubine Qi Shufei say a lot, and she was very impatient to see a lot, so she hurriedly added: "The 'Yushu List' also records the third son of the richest family in Lejing, the eldest son of Zhong who protects the family in Beiting, and the Marquis of Lu in Jiuyuan, Lingbei......"
Yu Guiyi Meng Shi was surprised: "This Sun family is in business, can it also be on the list?" ”
The elegant concubine, who rarely spoke, interjected with a smile: "I have heard of this Sun family's palace, although the family does not worship officials, but they are rich enough to rival the country, and the in-laws of the side branches also have married the eunuchs. Therefore, although the Sun family is not an official, the Sun family also has some power in Lejing. When His Majesty ascended the throne, the Sun family, as the richest man in Lejing, presented a treasure to the court in order to present it to His Majesty. On that day, the main palace was also present at the banquet, and saw that the Sun family paid tribute to an extremely rare Ryukyu unique pink snow-colored beauty Nanzhi coral. ”
Liu Anran is the daughter of a noble family, so naturally she has heard of it, and she can't help but sigh: "But I read the book that this snow coral is one inch longer than fifty years, and it is more than eight taels in a hundred years, and it is a priceless treasure." ”
Lord Fufeng disagreed: "Snow coral is rare, and it is not impossible to find it in the world. There is a palm-sized piece on the Babao Pavilion in the mother's study of the palace, which is as bright as a pearl, like the moon reflected in the winter snow, and the beauty is full of light. ”
Concubine Yagui shook her head: "The tribute of the Sun family is indeed the brilliant beauty Nanzhi." But that piece of coral, the size of a four-sided screen, needed six people to carry it together, and the lights were dazzling. At that time, the Shaofu supervisor was well-informed, in charge of rare birds and beasts in the world, and worshiped at four o'clock, and said that he had never seen such a rare treasure. He roughly estimated that Mo had thousands of years of heaven and earth aura, and he would not be able to give birth to such treasures. He smiled lightly, "Your Majesty also likes it very much, and named that coral 'Silver Jiao for Color'." ”
"This!" The subject of Fufeng County was stopped, and he spit out a sentence, "How can there be such a big coral ...... in the world?"
Pillow Chun covered his lips, and secretly wrote down the names of those talented people, his eyebrows and eyes crooked: "It sounds like this, Sun's wealth is serious." If it weren't for Rong Zhaoyi mentioning it, the concubine wouldn't know that the Sun family was the richest man in Lejing. As for this Zhong Dagongzi and Lu Houye, these two families are in Beiting and Jiuyuan, and they are both very remote. I don't know if there is still Qingjun in Lejing in that list? ”
"Naturally, there is." The lord of Fufeng County was obviously knowledgeable, and he responded without thinking about it, "There is also the prince of Shu, isn't he also a princess who has not yet married." ”
Everyone's faces were stunned. The relationship between the King of Shu and the Son of Heaven is delicate, and he is the imperial uncle of the concubines. Pillow Spring can understand that the person who wrote the list focuses on summarizing the current unmarried talents. The king of Shu, Mu Yongyue, is a thousand years old, and he has indeed never married a princess, even if everyone knows that he may not marry a wife in this life, but if he is not classified as a talent, it is inevitable that he will be punished.
The county lord of Fufeng looked at everyone's faces, and knew that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly added: "Naturally, there are Su Shishilang of the weaver family, and the second son of the Lejing He family......
This talked about the Beijing sergeant clan again, and the concubines and royals here inevitably talked about some interesting stories and secrets in the boudoir. Although she is a little master of the house, she has also been the daughter of Miss Qianjin, and when it comes to the feelings of those daughters in Lejing, everyone still has something in common. Today's please is very lively, rare harmony, among which Yagui Concubine and Qi Shufei are the oldest, and they have told many rumors and stories between the powerful.
Pillow Chun wrote down the school-age sons and daughters he heard today, and the family power and portal behind these sons, and returned to Qi Yunxuan to list them one by one and write them in the family letter. After writing a pair, he was busy crossing out the King of Shu.
She thought in her heart, or so many innocent or wealthy lintels, young and promising sons, they could probably form a wishful husband for An Huatang. Then I remembered that today's Fufeng County Lord mentioned that these are all high-ranking families and noble families. The An family is now barely an official family, but An Huatang's mother was born as a maidservant, and it is difficult to marry a concubine after all.
After thinking about it again, he added to the letter: If the sister-in-law changes her mind and chooses the well-matched Lang Jun, she also begs her mother Tu to put the sister-in-law in the name of the main room and change her to the lineage of the family tree, so that the sister-in-law can find a good home.
In this way, he sealed the letter with freshly boiled rice porridge and sent it to Xiaoxizi.
Personnel are exhausted, this marriage destiny ...... Just leave it to fate.
However, it was such a simple letter that was sent out of the imperial city that day, and it was indulged and let go. Looking back on this moment more than ten years later, I feel that the love, hatred, sorrow and joy in the world are so mysterious, and everything can make the heart grow old quickly.
If one thought is wrong, things will change dramatically.
It's not like that-
I can't ask for it.
