It has long been rumored that the saint intends to choose concubines for several adult princes, and they all say that a banquet will be held in the palace during the year, and girls from famous families will be invited to the palace to participate.

Daqi also has a draft, there are no special regulations, it all depends on the meaning of the above.

In this kind of draft, people who generally have a little status will find a way to avoid such a place, report for one such reason, and escape.

Therefore, most of the women selected from all over the country are the daughters of commoners.

Not all the women selected entered the inner palace, and more than half of them were rewarded to princes and nobles, but this was basically as a concubine.

From the Great Revelation to the present generation, the extravagance of the royal family can be seen.

As for the official selection of concubines by the royal family, they are basically given by the emperor for marriage, and the objects of marriage are generally the daughters of famous families.

And this kind of look is like the chrysanthemum banquet that Xie Songhua and they want to participate in this time.

The objects are basically the daughters of important ministers in the court, so there are special posts down.

This post reached the Xie family, and some people were happy and some complained.

Xie Songhua was influenced by later TV dramas, and subconsciously wanted to escape the so-called "concubine selection" this time.

After all, she used to play harem games, and her brain basically couldn't pass the three levels, which is what people often say, the rookie who can't survive the second episode in the palace fighting drama.

Xie Shuhua and Xie Sihua couldn't hide their joy, and the eyes of the other sisters also had a sense of superiority.

In fact, the meaning of this post is also very clear, please invite the daughter of the Xie family.

As for Xie Qionghua in the long house, he is already eighteen years old, so he is naturally excluded.

The remaining three concubines had different thoughts, and they couldn't see whether they had any resentment in their hearts.

However, because of this post, the Xie Mansion became lively.

For most people, if there is a princess in the house, won't she be a relative of the emperor in the future? This is naturally something to be happy about.

On the same day, Shou'an Hall had a word, asking the girls in the house to temporarily suspend classes for a few days and calm down.

Xie Songhua couldn't calm down, she really had a feeling of lying down.

As a result, the bookcase also sounded an inexplicable knocking sound from time to time.

Xie Songhua could only helplessly look at the book that automatically turned the pages on the opposite side every time, and then calmly concentrated again and again with a weak heart, concentrating on practicing the words under his hands.

When she finally finished writing the two sheets of paper with all her full attention, the little maid of Shou'an Hall came over to pass the word.

But the old lady felt that her granddaughters were too plain, and she saw that she was going to enter the palace, but she didn't seem to have any jewelry that she could handle, so she asked the Qi family to take the children to the street to buy things.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be favoritism, the Xie family has always paid attention to fairness and justice, and the other girls who don't enter the palace naturally have a part.

However, Xie Qionghua didn't go out because she was not feeling well, and directly asked others to take two good looks for her.

Xie Qian is about to get married again, so it is naturally difficult to show up.

Xie Dibiao fell into his pillow the night before, and he couldn't go out.

In the end, the three adults of the Qi family, the Yu family and Xie Wenyuan, took the remaining five little girls to the street together.

There were four carriages parked outside the second gate, three for the wives and girls, and the latter one for the slightly more decent subordinates, like Lilac, who could only follow the side of the carriage.

Qi pulled Xie Shuhua into the first car, Yu took Xie Sihua to the second car, and Xie Wenyuan naturally took his daughter to the last one.

Then Xie Songhua saw the curtain of the first car lifted, and Qi's face appeared behind, "Don't come up quickly." ”

But it was said to Xie Li.

Xie Li immediately responded crisply, and climbed up happily.

Xie Songhua stood awkwardly.

Yu's face appeared from behind the curtain and said with a smile: "Four girls, sit with me!" ”

There was also Xie Sihua's unhappy face next to her.

Xie Wenyuan smiled and said, "I just want to talk to the four girls!" ”

Xie Songhua breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally he was not too ashamed.

In the end, the Lin family came to be a guest, and Xie Songhua got into the Yu family's carriage.

As soon as Xie Sihua saw her, he pinned his face to the side, and Yu was a little embarrassed.

There was nothing to say along the way, and Xie Songhua only quietly lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at the bustling streets of this era outside.

"I haven't seen the ...... of the world" Xie Sihua exhaled in pain only halfway through his words, and then looked at Yu Shi dissatisfiedly, "Mother! ”

Xie Songhua couldn't help but laugh, and then exchanged for Xie Sihua's eye knife.

After walking for a while, a mother-in-law in front of me came over, "The front is Yao Ji's spice shop, because the old lady's favorite incense is almost gone, the lady said that she just came out, ask the third lady if you want to go in and have a look together?" ”

Yu is as good as a stream, "It's okay." ”

I thought it was a small shop when I heard the name, but after I came in, I realized that it was spacious.

One shop is divided on two sides, with all kinds of spices inside, and there are several private rooms for guests to rest in this small area outside.

Xie Songhua didn't know what spices were, so when he saw that Qi took Xie Shuhua and them in to pick them up, he simply sat down at a table outside and waited.

Yu and Xie Sihua also went in, but Xie Wenyuan and Lin Ruoxi sat down with Xie Songhua.

Xie Wenyuan looked at Xie Songhua's face carefully through the fence, and then nodded with a smile, "If you want to say it or not, the appearance of the four girls is really with our Xie family." ”

When Lin Ruoxi heard this, she also looked at it carefully, "The fourth sister's nose and mouth are like their mother's!" ”

Xie Songhua hurriedly lifted a corner of the fence and looked carefully, only to find that Lin Ruoxi was right, like Xie Songhua, Xie Wenyuan also has a good-looking nose, straight but not sharp, and her lips are small and full, so relatively speaking, she seems to be a few years younger than her actual age.

The elder Zhou Ge had said before that Xie Songhua looked like the Xie family, and now that he was reminded of this, he could be regarded as seeing it.

Xie Yuncang's nose is also like this, and with Xie Wenyuan, it is not the mold of a family.

About this reason, Xie Wenyuan immediately felt that Xie Songhua was cordial, and seeing that Qi and Xie Shuhua were not there, she lowered her voice and asked about her in the countryside.

Xie Wenyuan has a peaceful temperament, the kind of person who sits next to you even if he doesn't say a word, it won't make you feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, Xie Songhua did not refuse to talk to her about the original owner's affairs in the countryside.

Unlike the others, there was neither any contempt for her experience in the countryside, nor anything sympathetic or pitiful.

Xie Wenyuan sighed: "It seems that your adoptive parents are rare benevolent people, and you are also blessed." ”

Xie Songhua was stunned, this was the first person to say that she was blessed by being held wrong.

She thought about it carefully and understood the meaning of these words.

The original owner's adoptive parents only had her one daughter, and although the family was poor, they never treated her harshly, let alone disliked her because she was a daughter.

This is actually very precious in this era.

Xie Songhua couldn't help but turn up some memories in his mind, the memories of the original owner getting along with his adoptive parents.

Some thoughts flashed through her heart, and before she had time to think about it, a person next to her suddenly fell to the ground, causing everyone to exclaim.

Xie Wenyuan was next to him, so frightened that he almost fell off the stool.

Xie Songhua hurriedly looked over, only to see an old lady with gray hair lying on the ground, her eyes closed, her skin and lips were extremely pale.

The movement quickly attracted the attention of the other people in the shop, and the people next to them all gathered around.

A woman about thirty years old went to help the old lady with a worried face, and hurriedly called someone, "Come and help, help the old lady to the chair next to her first." ”

Immediately a warm-hearted person stepped forward next to him, Xie Songhua was in a hurry, and immediately rushed forward, "Don't move yet!" ”
