Chapter Seventy-One: Mafu Xing Tongshan
If it is a draft, Zhang Yan can be said to be experienced.
He can become Zhu Youxiao's wife, it can be said that he has passed five levels and killed six generals, and he has been left by the lights until the end, which is much more difficult than a super girl.
First, a national audition was held, and 5,000 women were selected to eat and live in charge of the transportation fee, all the way to the capital.
Wait for the screening of the eunuchs.
That's right, it's a eunuch.
Of the 5,000 women, 4,000 were eliminated after three rounds of PK.
It's not okay to be too tall, it's not okay to be too short, it's not okay to be too fat, it's not okay to be too thin.
Ears, eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows, imperfections are not OK.
It is not okay to have a waist circumference that is too big or too small, skin that is too dark or too rough, shoulder width that is too large or too small, and a mole that is not acceptable.
It's not okay if the voice is not good, and the temperament is not good.
If you can do all of this, congratulations, you've made the cut.
Then let the old eunuch check the fruit, and press what you are, it's not good.
Let's see if there are any unqualified places from beginning to end.
If not, congratulations again, you've eliminated another seven hundred.
The remaining three hundred people will live in the palace for a month, and two hundred and five will be eliminated again.
In the end, the remaining fifty were eligible to be the emperor's concubines. Then the acting queen mother will pick one out of them to be the queen.
And Zhang Yan is the one who was chosen among the fifty.
The best of the best.
Didn't you read those who read novels and looked at Zhang Yan and persuaded people to eat more dumplings?
"At this time, it will be handled by the imperial sister-in-law."
Then he chatted a few more words and left Kunning Palace.
Thousands of miles away in Luoyang, more than 100 people led by Lu Jiude and Wang Dehua were divided into pieces and infiltrated Luoyang City in batches.
Fuwang Zhu Changxun is the third son of Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, who has been deeply loved by Wanli since he was a child, and even wants to make him the crown prince and let him succeed to the throne. The ministers and the empress dowager disagreed, so there was a fifteen-year "national capital dispute", which finally ended in Zhu Changxun's defeat.
Emperor Wanli didn't want to treat this son badly, so he spent 300,000 taels of silver just to buy him a wedding, and spent 280,000 yuan to build a super mansion in Luoyang. That's not enough, Wanli also planned to reward him with 40,000 hectares of fertile land, which made Zhu Changxun embarrassed, so he reduced it by half to 20,000 taels.
After Lu Jiude and Wang Dehua entered the city, they looked for an inn and settled down. immediately spread his subordinates out to inquire about the news. In fact, there is nothing to inquire about, everyone knows where the door of King Fu's house opens. As a result, after a round of investigation, King Fu had all the sins, what robbed the people's daughters, connived at the domestic slaves to oppress the people, and snatched the land by skill, which can be said to be all bad things. But I didn't hear of a rebellion.
The person who reported the report looked embarrassed, and Lu Jiude looked at him like an idiot.
"Are you stupid? Who rebels and doesn't keep secrets, is it possible that the whole city will make trouble? The emperor said that what he wanted was evidence of King Fu's rebellion. Do you understand? ”
The person who reported this was a general banner of the West Factory, named Xing Tongshan. Lu Jiude mentioned it slightly, and he understood it.
He found his way.
An hour later, he appeared at the door of a house in the city, accompanied by a frivolous young man.
The courtyard of this family is not big, but the gate is very bright, Xing Tongshan knocked lightly, and an old man's voice came from inside.
"Who?"
"Uncle Liu, it's me, Zhang Erwu."
"Come in, the door isn't closed."
Zhang Erwu and Xing Tongshan glanced at each other, gently pushed the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw an old man of about sixty years old sitting on a chaise longue drinking tea at the entrance of the hall, and a maid who looked to be a teenager behind him was fanning him.
"Erwu is here, who is this?" After that, he looked at Xing Tongshan on the side.
"Uncle Liu, this is a distant relative of mine. I would like to ask you for your help on an errand in King Fu's Mansion. Zhang Erwu nodded and said authentically.
He and this Uncle Liu are neighbors, Uncle Liu was born in a village, he doesn't have much ability, but he gave birth to a good son. Be a little butler in King Fu's mansion. Even with him, he was taken to the city by his son, bought a house, let him live here for a long time, and bought a maid from Yazi to serve his daily life.
At this time, after listening to Zhang Erwu's words, his already impatient face became even more arrogant.
"This Fuwang Mansion is not something that anyone can enter if they want to. Many people have no way out of it. ”
"Yes, yes, Uncle Liu said yes, so isn't this here to beg your old man? My cousin is in good health and capable, but his family is poor and honest. It's been more than twenty years now, and I haven't even gotten a wife, so you can be gracious, talk to Steward Liu, and give a certain errand. It doesn't matter if you are tired or tired, as long as you can enter the Fuwang Mansion, it will be easier to talk about the media in the future. Do you say yes or no? Zhang Erwu slapped Uncle Liu for a while, and then took out a few pieces of broken silver from his sleeve, about seven or eight taels.
Uncle Liu glanced at it, his face softened slightly, and he picked up the kettle on the side and took a sip.
"It's not easy to do. For the sake of the neighbors, I'll help you ask Haigui. Let's go back and wait for news! ”
"Oops! Thank you, Uncle Liu, then we will go back and wait for your news. After speaking, Zhang Erwu respectfully put the silver on the coffee table on the side, and walked out with Xing Tongshan, who had a wooden face.
After going out of the door and walking for a while, Zhang Erwu stretched out his hand to Xing Tongshan.
"Give money!"
Xing Tongshan smiled, took out ten taels of silver from his arms and put it in Zhang Erwu's hand, Zhang Erwu weighed it, and his face was full of smiles.
Just said a few words, and made a net profit of ten taels of silver, which was a good deal.
Xing Tongshan, whose ancestors have lived in the capital for several generations, has any distant relatives in Luoyang, and Zhang Erwu is just an idle gangster he is looking for on the street.
When he inquired about the news two days ago, he learned that Zhang Erwu and Steward Liu's father were neighbors, so he secretly kept an eye on himself.
Sure enough, today came in handy, and under the temptation of ten taels of silver, Zhang Erwuyi agreed to help pretend to be his distant relative and go to Liu Haigui's father to help him find an errand.
Ten taels of silver, enough for him to be chic once.
"Go back, I'll go to the inn to inform you if there's news."
"Then thank you, two or five brothers."
After speaking, Xing Tongshan turned around and went back to the inn.
On the third day, I finally waited for Zhang Erwu's news.
"I'll go to King Fu's mansion early tomorrow morning to report. Let's just say that Liu Haigui asked you to go. Remember, I don't care if I have a long snack and I am killed if I collide with a nobleman. ”
"Thank you, two or five brothers."
On the second day, Xing Tongshan appeared at the door of King Fu's mansion and told the porter the purpose of coming.
The porter looked him up and down, saw that he was in rags, and pouted.
"Wait!"
After that, he turned his head and entered the house.
After about half an hour, a middle-aged man with a white face came out of it. Stand on the steps and say to him:
"You are Xing Tongshan? Zhang Erwu's distant relative? ”
"Yes! Steward Liu. Xing Tongshan scratched his head and smiled innocently.
Liu Haigui snorted up and down and nodded.
"Come with me." After that, he entered the house.
The Fuwang Mansion was very large, and it went all the way around and stopped in front of a stable.
"From now on, you will be responsible for feeding the horses, four pieces of silver a month. If you don't understand, ask Lao Zheng, be careful, the last one who fed the horse was beaten to death because he fed the prince's horse the wrong material. After saying that, he shouted into the house.
"Lao Zheng, come out and lead people."
Lao Zheng Wenyan walked out of the house, talked to Liu Haigui with a smile, and led Xing Tongshan into the house.
The house is not big, and a bunk can accommodate about three or four people.
"Let's stay here, you put your luggage first, and I'll take you to the stable."
As a result, Xing Tongshan, the chief flag officer of the West Factory, lived in Fuwang's Mansion and became a horseman.
