In ancient times, women who participated in the draft would be recorded on the list and sent to the palace to be selected. As expected, if there were no serious problems, they would basically be selected. Of course, the main reason was that there were not many good-looking ones who participated in the draft.
If you are selected, you will be given a sachet to leave a brand, so that you can go to the palace to do things soon. If you are not selected, you will also be notified. That is this kind of gift of flowers without the brand.
The flower here is not a flower, but a kind of hairpin, which means that the Tian family does not look down on you, so as not to affect the future marriage of the woman. Is it a consolation prize?
Jia Jing was a little embarrassed to look back. It seemed extremely quiet inside the screen, which made Jia Jing even more embarrassed. After all, a few days ago, she had vowed that she would speak out about Baochai's entry into the palace, but after the incident, she
Busy and forgot...
Jia Jing asked the two young eunuchs: "Why did you lose the election at this time? There is no news at all?" The two young eunuchs looked at each other. You ask us, we are just two little eunuchs, how could we know this!
Jia Jing also saw it, so she waved her hand impatiently and said: "Are you done? Get out of here!" The two little Huangmen were a little confused: "This...Uncle, we have to take the
Take Miss Xue to the palace to receive the reward."
Jia Jing said impatiently: "I have my own concerns, you can go to hell." The two Xiaohuangmen did not dare to say anything after hearing this. They kowtowed twice and were about to leave, but Jia Jing said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute.
wait!"
The two of them were so frightened that they quickly turned around and bowed: "Uncle, do you have any other instructions?" Jia Jing sneered and said, "Were you two sitting here just now?"
The two of them looked at each other and dared not speak. Jia Jing slapped the table and cursed: "This is the place where my ancestor Rong Guogong spent his later years of cultivation. What kind of pickled things are worthy of sitting here? You treat my Jia family as a toilet. You want to come?"
Just come and leave whenever you want?"
The two people knelt down and kowtowed in panic to admit their mistake. Jia Jing said coldly: "Kowtow one step at a time from here to the door of my Jia's house. If you dare to kowtow even less, you two will not have to go back!"
The two kowtowed quickly to thank them, then turned around and walked out step by step, kowtowing. When Jia Jing saw the two people leaving, she stood up and said: "Aunt, they are gone."
Aunt Xue walked out with Baochai. Jia Jing looked carefully and found that Aunt Xue's description was the same as usual. At least on the surface, Jia Jing did not see Aunt Xue's dissatisfaction and disappointment.
Aunt Xue stepped forward and said with a gentle smile: "My son, it's hard for you, your brother Xue... Oh! It's hard for you to take care of our mother and daughter. If you don't come today, aunt will still
I really don’t know what to do.”
Jia Jing said with a smile: "We have been relatives for several lifetimes. What my aunt said is just an outsider's talk. It's just a matter of personal responsibility." Aunt Xue smiled and asked him to take a seat.
After the three of them sat down, Jia Jing rubbed her nose awkwardly and said, "About Sister Bao, um... Auntie also knows that I have been busy these days and haven't had time to enter the palace yet...
....."
Aunt Xue sighed and said: "It's all fate. I can't blame you. It's us who have troubled you. You have so many things to do and you still have to think about your precious sister."
Jia Jing said embarrassedly: "I'm really ashamed that I didn't help at all. However, the election day usually falls during the Spring and Autumn period, so I thought maybe it would take a long time and didn't take it to heart."
There may be some changes, my aunt will wait for me to come into the palace to ask, maybe there is something hidden."
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "There is no need to force it. If it can be done, it will be great. If it cannot be done... there is always another way."
Jia Jing nodded with a smile, and then said with a smile: "Auntie's words are right. With the Xue family's family status and the power of my four major families, I will pay more attention to my brother. Even if I don't enter the palace, I will definitely give him some advice." My sister needs to find a well-matched family."
The last sentence was said to Baochai. Baochai's face turned slightly red after hearing this, but he still smiled and nodded.
Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Brother Xue is not cool, but I have to trouble you for everything." Jia Jing smiled and said: "When Brother Xue gets older and gets married, he may become more stable. "
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "I'd like to lend you some good advice!" Jia Jing smiled and stood up, saying, "Then I'll change my hair crown. Sister Bao will follow me into the palace in a while."
Aunt Xue sighed and nodded. She lost the election anyway. Jun Wu joked that no matter how good Jia Jing was, she would not be able to change what came out of the palace.
So Baochai still has to go and collect the flowers. Aunt Xue is actually very disappointed in her heart. After all, this is a very safe path with successful cases. If she loses the path to the palace, she has to think of other ways. Save the Xue family...
Aunt Xue knew that now was not the time to talk about this, so she looked at Jia Jing and said, "What are you going back to get? Aunt Xue has many here! Ying'er, go get some hair crowns for your second master."
It was not etiquette in this era for Jia Jing to only use a hairpin to tie her hair on her head. Clothes and clothes were a Chinese gift. You can do whatever you want at home, but when you go out or enter the palace, people will think that this person is disrespectful and crazy. .
Jia Jing knew that Aunt Xue was impatient, so she nodded and said, "Then I'll be disrespectful." Baochai stood up and said, "I'll go find some for my brother." Then he turned around and took Ying'er inside.
Jia Jing and Aunt Xue were chatting outside, and Baochai said to Ying'er: "Go get the purple gold crown from the bedside box in my room."
Ying'er was stunned for a moment and said, "Girl, that one is too precious, isn't it?" Baochai smiled and said, "What does it look like if it's too simple? Besides, your second master treats you pretty well, so you treat him like this?"
Ying'er smiled sheepishly and said, "That's not what I meant, it's just..." Baochai smiled and said, "Just go and get it."
Ying'er wanted to say something more, but looking at Baochai's determined look, she could only nod. She turned around and went into the back room and took out the purple gold crown from the box in front of Baochai's bedside dressing table.
This purple-gold crown is made entirely of gold, lined with silver wire, and decorated with necklaces. There is a huge ruby in the middle, and it is decorated with fine pearls around it. It is indeed a jewel, but it is a treasure!
Baochai took it from Ying'er's hand, looked at it carefully, stroked it for a while and then put it back on Ying'er's tray. When the two came in.
Jia Jingzheng said with a smile: "Recently, my people are preparing to send a batch of goods, and they also want to check the farm over there. If Brother Xue is so willing, I can leave this matter to Fengzihao."
Aunt Xue hesitated and said: "Brother Jing, it's not that I can't trust you, it's just that Liaodong has some..."
Jia Jing laughed when he heard this and said: "Of course I know where Liaodong is. If you lay it to the north, you may indeed make less money in a short period of time than in the south. But if my aunt believes in me, I can lay some Feng brand names to the north in the near future. You might as well try some nearby counties first.”
Aunt Xue heard this and said quickly: "Brother, have you got some news?" Jia Jing smiled and said: "It's not really news, but in the future the imperial court will definitely make great efforts to develop in Liaodong, and I will try my best to Promote this."
Aunt Xue was slightly happy when she heard this and said: "What do you need us to do?" Jia Jing smiled and said: "It's not urgent yet. This matter needs to be discussed over a long period of time. It cannot be explained clearly in a short while. In the end, it is still You have to go through Brother Xue, and if you have time, I will come back and explain it clearly to my aunt and brother, and I will make sure you make money!"
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "It's hard for you to think of us! That aunt has been waiting for news from you!" Jia Jing smiled and nodded, and then the two of them looked at Baochai who was walking over.
Baochai smiled and said: "What is mom talking to the second brother?" Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Some business matters outside..."
Then Aunt Xue noticed the tray in Ying'er's hand. When she saw the hair crown on it, she couldn't help but be startled, and then she was secretly surprised.
This hair crown was given to Baochai when his father was still alive. It was made from the leftover material from the gold lock that was made for Baochai and mixed with other valuable items. To say it is precious is actually not It's not particularly precious, but the Xue family can afford it and take it out, but...
This thing has a different purpose!
Aunt Xue couldn't help but look at Baochai with some surprise and uncertainty, but Baochai remained calm. Aunt Xue couldn't help suppressing the surprise in her heart, thinking that Baochai might think this one was easier to find, so she took this one. ?
You can't say anything at this time, otherwise Jia Jing will think that your Xue family is reluctant to give it!
Baochai actually noticed the strange look in Aunt Xue's eyes, but Baochai remained very calm and just smiled and stepped forward to untie Jia Jing's hair.
Then he looked at the jade hairpin that seemed familiar and said, "Brother, I'd better put this jade hairpin away." There was a matching gold hairpin on the purple gold crown, so Baochai asked this question.
Jia Jing smiled and said: "No need, just plug it in for me. If I didn't have to go to the palace, I wouldn't even bother to comb my hair. It's troublesome!"
Baochai smiled when he heard this and took off the gold hairpin from Zijin Crown. The style of this jade hairpin was somewhat feminine and gave it to Zijin Crown. Jia Jing stood up and sorted out her clothes, and smiled at Aunt Xue: "Then Aunt, let’s leave first.”
Aunt Xue also stood up and said, "I'll go with you too. I'm going to meet the old lady and the others. Please be careful on the way."
Jia Jing and Baochai nodded, and Jia Jing took Baochai out of the house. Baochai always followed Jia Jing, half a body behind Jia Jing, which not only meant that Jia Jing was the leader, but also ensured that Jia Jing You can hear her clearly immediately when talking to her.
Jia Jing naturally noticed it, and couldn't help but feel even more deeply that Baochai was really suitable to marry as his wife! In his time, it's not that there were no virtuous wives like Baochai, but they were very few!
Jia Jing deliberately slowed down her pace. After Baochai noticed it, she leaned slightly closer to Jia Jing. Sure enough, Jia Jing turned her head slightly and said to Baochai: "There is probably no turning around in this matter."
Baochai nodded calmly. She also knew that once such a matter was concluded, it was almost impossible to reverse it, not to mention that she did not meet the standards in the first place...the heat on her body Is the poison considered a disease, or a strange disease that I don’t know if it can be inherited? According to the rules, I absolutely cannot participate in the draft in this case.
What's more, even if you are not sick, as long as you are dismissed, they will not bother to open a network for you to investigate again, or choose again.
The draft is a very complicated process, and this process is obviously not going to be done again for a mere Xue family. If Jia Jing is willing to intercede for this matter, they may sell Jia Jing to save face, but...
...
Jia Jing sighed and said: "Besides, I don't want you to enter the palace." Baochai's legs felt weak and her heart jumped suddenly. She looked away and nodded slightly, but her head turned slightly to other places.
place.
Jia Jing glanced at Ying'er behind her who was very discerning, leaving Jia Jing and Baochai room to communicate, and said softly to Baochai: "Entering the palace is not a good way out. You are different from other sisters. The first time I saw
You just know."
Baochai's breathing became heavier and heavier. Jia Jing stopped, turned around and said to Baochai: "You are more independent and knowledgeable than the sisters. You have more wisdom in dealing with people."
, I know all this."
Baochai raised his head and looked at Jia Jing, his eyes were filled with ripples, he understood me...
Jia Jing secretly wondered, why was Baochai so moved? Wasn't it just that? She just said a few nice words and that's it? This girl has never eaten any good pork!
Jia Jing suppressed her doubts and said: "So you should understand better that the palace is not that simple. The dangers in it are beyond your imagination. And to put it bluntly, the Xue family may not be able to provide you with more information."
Much help.”
The previous dynasty had a great influence on the harem. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty married Wei Zifu and got two SSR-level general cards. Wei Zifu immediately became the queen! Even the history books describe how Emperor Wu treated Wei Zifu.
Their attitudes are "lucky" and "favored"!
Similarly, the Wei family is extremely noble because of this. There are five people who have been granted the title of marquis! Five people have been granted the title of marquis! Although the historian family with two marquises was almost ruined by the prodigal family, it is still the only one among the four major families.
With the existence of the two father-in-laws of the Jia family, what kind of grand occasion would it be like to have a family of five princes?
It was not until after the witchcraft disaster that most of the Wei family members died, Liu Ju was defeated and killed, and Wei Zifu also committed suicide, that the Wei family became lonely and all were eliminated.
It can be seen that the harem has always been closely related to the previous dynasty. Without the momentum of the previous dynasty, even entering the palace would be useless. And obviously, with Xue Pan's virtue, it would be good not to cause trouble...
Jia Jing sighed and said: "So I hope you can understand something. This matter will pass after it passes. Don't take it to heart. It's not that I refuse to help. It may not be worse than entering the palace in the future. You
Do you understand what I mean?"
Baochai's heart trembled, and then she raised her eyes filled with mist, looked at Jia Jing and nodded slowly: "Sister understands, everything depends on brother..."
Jia Jing nodded, and then she felt a little weird in her heart. She always felt... I didn't seem to be on the same channel as Baochai? Why did she speak so weirdly?
However, Jia Jing was too lazy to think about it, so she shook her head and said to Baochai: "You wait here now. I will ask someone to drive the carriage in. You get on the carriage from the second gate."
Baochai nodded silently, and Jia Jing walked out. When he got outside, he first called Qingfeng, and then asked his soldiers to prepare the carriages and horses. After a while, they were all ready.
Jia Jing rode her horse to the gate of Rongguo Mansion, waited for the carriage to go in and picked up Baochai, and then the two of them headed towards the Forbidden City.
Baochai, who was in the carriage behind him, quietly opened a corner of the carriage curtain and looked forward secretly. He saw Jia Jing's back. He didn't know what he was thinking. He stared blankly for a long time before letting go.
As she approached the gate of the Forbidden City, Jia Jing pulled her horse closer to the carriage path and said, "Follow me when you get down later. Don't be afraid. I'll take care of everything."
Baochai nodded and said, "Thank you, brother." Jia Jing smiled, and then went up to talk to the city gate general. When the city gate general saw that it was Jia Jing, he stepped forward to salute: "Uncle Jingwu, you are polite, come in."
What's the matter with the palace?"
Jia Jing smiled and said: "My sisters are here to receive the flowers for the draft." The city goalkeeper nodded and suddenly realized: "That's it! Uncle, please come in!"
Jia Jing smiled and pointed to the soldiers on the side and said, "What are you doing?" Those soldiers were carrying buckets and pouring water on the ground, while the other side was sweeping with brooms.
The city gatekeeper took one look and said with a wry smile: "I don't know, uncle, but this was left by the lord who knocked on the palace gate and cried to remonstrate last night."
Jia Jing raised her brows slightly: "Crying to remonstrate?" The city gate general was a little embarrassed: "You know..." Jia Jing suddenly realized, and then said a little strangely: "So bold? Playing so big?
It won’t stop!”
The city gatekeeper smiled bitterly and said: "Unknown to me, Your Majesty Long Yan was furious because of this. Those adults were arrested and sent to Zhao Prison early this morning! There were students who came to make trouble in the morning!"
Jia Jing frowned when he heard this and said: "How many people? Is it serious?" The city gate general smiled bitterly and said: "The number of people is not large, but I'm afraid, the ones who are coming now are those who are standing in front...
....”
Jia Jing's face suddenly became solemn. Students making trouble is not a trivial matter. If it is not handled well, it is likely to evolve into a bloody incident! I hope this matter can end here! Otherwise, the impact of this matter on him may not be
So good......
Jia Jing couldn't enjoy that much at this time, so he could only say thank you to the city gate general, and then took Baochai to Xuanwu Gate. When he got here, Baochai couldn't ride in the car, even for Jia Jing's sake.
Nope either.
Jia's family members were not here, so Jia Jing personally stepped forward to help Ying'er and Baochai down. Although Baochai was well-informed, in the end she was just a little girl. Seeing the most noble and noble people in the world
There is no reason why the place is not tense.
Looking up at the splendid pavilions and thousands of palaces, Jia Jing couldn't help but feel insignificant and humble. Seeing this, Jia Jing stepped forward and patted her shoulder gently and said with a smile: "It's just that if you're used to it."
Baochai came back to her senses and smiled at Jia Jing. Jia Jing smiled and said, "Follow me." The two of them walked towards the palace.
Jia Jing deliberately talked to Baochai to relieve her tension, but Baochai obviously had no such leisure time and did not dare to make a mistake. She just lowered her head and answered whatever Jia Jing said, with nervousness and reserve written all over her face.
, which made Jia Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
