Originally, I thought that the patriarch of Qingqiu chose a wife, which was a very grand and rigorous thing, but unexpectedly, those officials almost named them, so they were arranged neatly and sent into the mansion. When the officers on the roll call looked over one by one, they were all careless, but when they arrived at Lu Xinyi, they glanced at it meaningfully.

When the women retreated to the backyard, the named chief said to the officials on the side:

"This year, there are some crooked melons and cracked dates, if you want me to say, the princess of Chu is also ruthless, which not only shows her generosity, but also reflects her nobility!"

The official sighed and shook his head: "Yes, it's a pity that it's hard for us." You say, we slept well during the day, and now we have to take care of this matter! Recruit every year, how can you be selected! ”

The chief didn't speak at first, then looked around casually, touched his mustache, approached the official and said, "What is the origin of that thirty-five?" These crooked melons and cracked dates, she looked at the face. ”

The official was stunned, hurriedly took out the booklet and checked it, pointed to the name on it, and said, "Oh! It was her brother who registered her, what is Lu Xinyi. Just a civilian. ”

"Lu Xinyi?" The chief stroked his beard, then smiled, and played with the taste, "It's a pity, it's okay, I'll talk about it when she's retired." ”

The sun was shining, and although several people were wearing gauze clothes, they still couldn't help but sweat. Although the old lady who was in charge of training the women was ordered not to screen out too many people, lest it be difficult to fill the already huge gap, she still had to play a prestige for a while.

The lower the position, the more she likes to embarrass others in her limited power.

She snorted coldly through her nose, and the first thing to test was whether you were a virgin.

She has long known that the ancient method of identifying virgins is very backward, and there is no scientific basis, even in the modern era of advanced science and technology, there is no scientific means to accurately prove which woman is indeed a virgin.

As a result, she also learned from others, and ordered a palace sand for herself, and while ordering, she couldn't help but laugh at the pedantry of those ancient women.

The inspection of the virgin body soon came to Lu Xinyi's turn, and the mother who checked it glanced at her, and was about to say something, but then glanced at the crooked melons and cracked dates next to her, and finally swallowed the anger. just stared at her fiercely, Lu Xinyi's heart was furious.

The grandmother snorted coldly: "You palace sand seems to have just been ordered, you are so bold!" ”

Xin Yi hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged: "Mama forgive me, the little girl just came to Qingqiu, she doesn't understand our rules, I hope you will forgive me!" ”

Mama looked at her with a respectful face, and became even more proud: "Forgive? I forgive you, where is the royal law of Qingqiu? Where is the face of the royal family? Forgiveness? You say it easy, but you can tell me, how can I abandon my duty and come to forgive you?! ”

Lu Xinyi frowned, she was really disgusting to hear this, when she was in modern times, the boss was like this, a little thing, it was not so big, as if her small mistake would become a heinous one! However, in the mood of understanding, she still endured this breath, and quietly listened to what the grandmother said, before she was aggrieved and raised a small face, full of remorse.

"Mama, the little girl knows that she is wrong, but the little woman has a way that can be more accurate than checking the palace sand, I wonder if Mama is willing to try?"

When Mama heard this, she said nonchalantly: "Hmph, you girl, what can you do?" ”

Seeing this, Lu Xinyi got up and whispered a few words in Mama's ear, Mama's face changed, and when she finished speaking, her expression eased a lot, and immediately said to everyone:

"Since Miss Lu is a foreigner, we Qingqiu have always been hospitable, so I gave her a chance, and I personally brought her to the room for examination. Others continue to stay here! ”

With that, the two of them went to the back room one after the other.

After a while, Lu Xinyi came out with a spring breeze on her face, her steps were relaxed and her face was smug - yes, in this world, there is nothing that money can't solve!

The mother-in-law was also very happy, she reorganized her outfit, logically speaking, she should be on an errand in the palace at the moment, but the woman in Chu State wanted to do such a thing, so that she had to come out and suffer this crime in the summer, it was really thankless! In the palace, there is also a summer subsidy at this time, what can there be outside? That's why I'm angry.

Now who would have thought that with this errand, she would be able to make a fortune, which can be regarded as balancing her heart, so she is a lot happier.

Mama said to everyone with a spring breeze on her face: "After inspection, Miss Lu is a virgin. ”

The next tests and teachings are nothing more than some palace etiquette, the way to treat husbands, and so on. Lu Xinyi was sleepy when she heard this, and she suddenly felt very sympathetic to these ancient women, even if they were born in Qingqiu, even if they could do business and go out to work to support themselves, they were still not recognized by society and valued by their families.

When will a woman be truly emancipated?

She sighed, at night, when she was sleeping, the night breeze was blowing, and a bright moon was shining on the desk. It's hard to say that such a cozy night is not a great pleasure in life!

When Hu Ruan came back from practicing his sword, he saw the mother and daughter through the window, and he couldn't help but feel a little more at ease. He felt unfair for Lu Xinyi in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, just seeing the two of them happy, he himself was happy.

was about to leave, but he heard Lu Xinyi say:

"Yanyu, my mother is about to see my father, you say, my mother has changed so much in the past few years, can he still remember me?"

She smiled, with a sweet and gentle face, and a little coquettishness and shyness, Yanyu slept soundly, and did not answer her questions at all, and she was also happy to talk to herself.

She added: "They all say that Daddy has another life. But Yanyu, in this world, many things have to be asked by yourself, seen, and checked out in order to see what it really looks like, so no matter what they say, my mother always believes that your father, he has always been a very gentle and warm person when my mother was a child. ”

She held the small hand of Yanyu in her hand, although this hand was small, it seemed to be her whole world.

She bowed her head and landed a kiss on the little hand. Sometimes, she thinks that such a life is not bad, and she laughs at herself:

"The play is missing, the divorce of rebirth wanders with a baby, and the story of a thousand miles to find a husband."

Hu Ruan was outside the door, looking at the happy appearance of the two, and felt a little comforted in his heart. These days, his heart has been sinking, the joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected, and he can't force others to understand him, not to mention, everyone who is anxious.

He pinched the sword in his hand, Zhou, fortunately there is Zhou. (End of chapter)
