Chapter 896, Things Don't Go Smoothly

"Father-in-law Huaibao, this ...... Teacup ......" If the portrait is dirty, then something is really wrong.

"Withdraw first." Huai Bao waved his hand.

The official breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly beckoned someone to remove the teacup, and carefully wiped it over the table.

Huai Bao had already taken a painting, looked at the purple-clothed beauty on it, and was very disapproving: "This is not good, the corners of the eyes are too sharp, and it looks too fierce."

After saying that, he closed the scroll and picked up another one.

"This is not good, it really doesn't look good, the maid rings of the Qi Wangfu are all better looking than her."

"This sharp-beaked monkey gill, no, no, no."

"This ...... It's too fat."

"The face is too long."

"If the chin is too long, it's not a blessing!" ……

The next comment from Huai Bao made the official stunned, and he reached out to take the scrolls thrown by Huai Bao, and frowned helplessly.

He knew that the prince of Qi was here to find trouble, these were the daughters of the family who were picked out, not only with excellent looks, but also from a good family background.

Now it's being rated worthless.

"That's all, my lord?" After reading it, Huaibao didn't have a good one, so he looked left and right and asked.

"For the time being...... That's all." With a bitter face, the official carefully put away the scroll and put it down again on the table in front of the window.

"No, no, no." Huaibao shook his head, watched the officials carefully clean up, shook his head and sighed, "Our prince's vision is also very picky, just like our son."

The officials sighed, they didn't know what to say, these daughters of the family are already the most suitable, and there are a few of them who are so beautiful, why can't they look down on them?

But thinking of the appearance of the prince of Qi, the officials felt that there was a reason why this was really unlikely, that one was handsome and incomparable, and he had seen it from afar before, when the prince was still losing his temper, looking cold and cold, but his appearance was really the ultimate in handsomeness.

Thinking about it like this, I actually had a weird feeling, I really felt that the painting scroll over there couldn't get into the eyes of the prince of Qi, after all, it looked so exquisite, there was really someone who could compare?

"You pick the list and we'll take a look." Huai Bao stretched out his hand.

"Someone, get the list." The official said to the outside.

This is the yamen of the government, and it is very simple to get the list, and after a while, the initial list was presented to the bookcase, and the official pushed it in front of Huaibao: "Father-in-law Huaibao, please see."

The list is not a secret, just look at it, especially for the people in the Qi Palace, after all, they were originally going to be sent to Qidi.

"This matter is in charge of Qian Shilang?" Huai Bao read through the ten lines at a glance, and finally landed on the top name.

"The emperor ordered Qian Shilang to take charge of this matter." The official nodded.

He is mainly selective here, and the real master is, of course, Qian Shilang.

"The Rite Squire is in charge of this...... That's right." Huaibao was quite satisfied, and he also gave Qian Shilang face when he heard it.

The official breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist at all, and accompanied the smiling face: "My father-in-law said very well, Qian Shilang is the most stable, and he will not be wrong in choosing people."

"The candidates are all in charge of Qian Shilang, and then they are distributed, verified and selected one by one, and then sent to Lord Qian."

The official said that his responsibility in the itinerary is not large, that is, a tentative process, and it is not he who really decides.

To the servants of the Shangqi Palace, the officials felt that it was a good thing that they were not responsible, although this Huaibao father-in-law had been smiling and looking very good-tempered, but he didn't dare to think that it was true.

Just looking at the way he sometimes smiles and doesn't smile, the officials feel worried, he is really just a petty official who does things and has no decision-making power.

The chamberlains of the Qi Palace's mansion didn't have to stare at him.

"Look at the image first, then pick the person?" Huai Bao asked curiously, smiling and talking.

"Yes...... Let's see if there is a suitable girl of the right age in each family." The official immediately said, "Then prepare the portrait."

"Unmarried?" Huai Bao thoughtfully stretched out his hand

Scratched in the air, "If this girl ...... My mother is already engaged?"

"Naturally, it's crossed out." The official immediately said that he knew about this, "But in fact, there are some daughters of families, whether they are engaged or not, others don't know, and they have to be checked before they are finally set, and they are on the first list, but they are not on the later list."

The roster is not set immediately, and it takes a lot of time from the initial trial list to the subsequent review.

There is also room for manipulation, of course, it is inconvenient to say this very clearly, everyone just understands it in their hearts.

"We've almost done the search, is there an updated roster?"

"Yes...... There are two copies." The official immediately said, while asking people to fetch it, this matter is related to the King of Qi, and the person sent by the Qi Wangfu asked it as a matter of course.

Huai Bao took the two rosters and looked at them against each other, some of the names on the roster of the previous one originally existed, and some were crossed out later, which shows that they have been updated.

The original one had Yu Lanyun's name on it, and the second and third books also had it, but it obviously hadn't had time to cross it out yet.

"The recently updated one is at Lord Qian's, and the one here is still the previous one, just a little bit of a pair, and the decision is not in the hands of the lower official."

Huai Bao slowly closed the notebook: "My lord, how many are you going to send to the court?"

"This ...... The lower officials don't know what Lord Qian means in the end." The officials responded cautiously and did not say anything to death.

"Does that mean you have to find Lady Qian?" Huai Baopi smiled and said authentically.

"It's Lord Qian who makes the final decision." The officials were busy saying vaguely, not saying yes or no, but only saying according to their own feelings.

"Booklet...... Can you lend it to our son?" Huai Bao raised the two booklets he had obtained later, and continued to ask with a smile.

"Okay." The official thought about it and stomped his foot hard, he couldn't do this by himself, anyway, the final booklet was sent to Qian Shilang, and it had little to do with him.

"Thank you, then." Huai Bao was polite, stuffed the booklet into the cuff, stood up and said goodbye, the official sent the person to the yamen, watched Huai Bao get into the carriage and leave, the official sighed, and called someone to report to the money waiter, he couldn't control this matter, he could only report to Shangguan......

The account book fell into Yu Xijiao's hands, looking at what had been crossed out on it and what had not been crossed out, and there was thought in his eyes.

In the end, her eyes fell on a familiar name, Xu Jiayi, Xu Shufei's niece, although she has never been valued by Xu Shufei, and she looks a little silly, but she is an excellent one.

She didn't have a marriage, she was a daughter of a family, she did meet the quota for sending to Qidi, but everyone knew that she was a little stupid, and she didn't have a family affair until now, so there was no way.

The families who knew her situation were reluctant to marry her family, even if she was the cousin of King Yong, Yu Xijiao had heard people talk about it before, and it seemed that she might enter King Yong's backyard in the future.

Compared with Duanwang's Mansion, Yongwang's Mansion can almost be said to be very quiet, a concubine, a side concubine, and a side concubine still have a name, and some people think that Concubine Shu should be deliberately left for her niece.

Yu Xijiao felt that it was probably not.

Listening to what Xu Jiayi said, Concubine Shu was not good to Xu Jiayi, and she did not show her closeness to Xu's house, which is very strange.

Stretched out his hand and circled Xu Jiayi's name, it was very strange to see Xu Jiayi's name here, in her situation, it was impossible to take her turn, but her name was there.

In any way, Xu Jiayi is not suitable.

Her eyes crossed over Xu Jiayi's name, and then fell on several other familiar names, these people were known to her in her previous life, although this roster has been modified, but in fact, there are quite a lot of names on it.

"Girl, do you want Father-in-law Huaibao to get the latest one again? It is said that it is now in the hands of Qian Shilang." Mingyue saw that she was silent, just looked at the list thoughtfully, and proposed in a low voice.

Yu Xijiao shook her head, "Wait a minute, wait for Mama Xu to come over."

Mama Xu went to the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion and helped the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion to go to the Yamen

Report this matter, since Yu Lanyun is engaged, she is about to get married, and it is impossible to go to Qidi again, the name should be crossed out on this list, and you can actually wait for someone to take the initiative to come to the door to verify, but the third lady is really worried, and feels that she should take the initiative to report to the door.

Yu Xijiao faintly felt that this thing would not be too smooth, someone was playing behind her back, so she asked Mama Xu to follow over to see, if there was anything you needed to help, you could help.

"Girl...... Think there's something wrong?" Mingyue Road.

Yu Xijiao shook her head: "Actually, it's not good, maybe I thought wrong."

There is a feeling of faint pointing, and all the points are also faintly pointing to the Qian Mansion, and sure enough, the roster was checked and Qian Shilang was found.

In Beijing, Qian Shilang is a good old man, and Mrs. Qian used to be a great good person, but now Mrs. Qian's reputation makes many people feel that she may not be, she may not be a good person, she may not be really good, and she may not have been selfish, if she is really so good, how can she teach such a daughter and granddaughter?

"Girl......" Mingyue still wanted to speak, when she heard Mama Xu's voice outside, she glanced at the window, and sure enough, she saw Mama Xu before entering the courtyard gate, "Girl, Mama Xu is here."

"Let her in." Yu Xijiao put down the roster.

Mingyue went to the door and lifted the curtain, and sure enough, she saw Mama Xu coming over in a hurry.

"Mama Xu, the girl asked you to come in." Mingyue greeted with a smile, looked at Mama Xu's angry face, and knew that things were not going well.

Mama Xu nodded and entered the door, Mingyue lowered the curtain and followed her in.

Mama Xu first saluted Yu Xijiao when she entered the door: "The old slave has seen the girl."

"What, it didn't go well?" As soon as Yu Xijiao saw Mama Xu's face, she knew that there was a problem, and raised her willow eyebrows and asked.

"Girl, what a bully." Mama Xu said angrily, "The old slave really saw someone who didn't know what to call today, and he said it so clearly, but he said that he had to go through a process, and he had to report it layer by layer, and said that there was a time problem here, if it was too late, there would be something to do at that time, and they couldn't do anything."

"There's a question of timing?" Yu Xijiao asked with a smile.
