At noon the next day, Chang Yu was awakened by the howling of ghosts and wolves. He covered his head with his hands and walked out of the door. He saw Chunxiang vomiting in the yard, cursing and swearing that he would never drink so much again...
Lian Xin came over with a night's sobering soup. Chang Yu took it and drank it all in one gulp, but his head was still cracked and he tried not to wail and swear like Chun Xiang.
Just when he was about to say a few words to comfort Chunxiang, he suddenly saw Lian Xin with tears in her eyes: "What, who bullied you?"
Lian Xin turned around with tears streaming down her face. Old Hu Dian turned around and said with joy on her face: "No one bullied her, but a great event came to her door. Girl Lian was so happy that she cried."
Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "What a happy event, it makes me happy to say it."
"Lian Xin is going to enter the palace and become the Crown Princess." Old Hu chuckled. Chang Yu and Chunxiang couldn't help but be startled: "Entering the palace? Crown Princess?"
Lao Hu said: "Yesterday, the court announced that the prince would be selected for marriage. Someone from the Ministry of Etiquette came to register this morning..." This made Chang Yu even more confused. The prince's selection for marriage must go through an audition.
The women who participate in the audition must either sign up themselves or be recommended by others. It is rare for the etiquette department to come to you unless you are famous for your beauty and beauty.
Lian Xin is indeed beautiful and fragrant, but she is not very bright and far-sighted. She rarely goes out on weekdays. Although the neighbors see her beauty, they also know that she is from the eunuch's family. No one dares to cause trouble, let alone gossip. This Ministry of Etiquette
How did the person come to the door?
"If Lianxin is willing, it will indeed be a great joy, and she will be the queen in the future," Chunxiang said, covering his head.
"I don't want to" Lian Xin cried in the room: "The adults have said that being in the palace is like going to jail. I don't want to go to jail..."
"Shh, you girl, what are you talking about?" Lao Hu scolded her quickly. Chang Yu waved his hand and said to Lian Xin in the room: "You rarely go out on weekdays, how come someone from the Ministry of Etiquette can come here?".
Lian Xin said that yesterday she and Little Apple went to watch the excitement. They followed the emperor's carriage from the south city to the north city and then to the east and west. They had seen enough of the excitement and were noticed by others. Soon someone noticed.
The two of them were often approached by some dandies, and even people from the public servants came to inquire. The two of them didn't take care of these things. As for why they were approached, it was unknown.
Chang Yu frowned lightly. If someone from the Ministry of Etiquette came to his door, it was impossible that he didn't know that this was his house and came to register without even saying hello to him.
"You don't have to rush to refuse. It's not a bad thing to enter the palace..." Before Chang Yu could finish his words, Lian Xin cried again: "I just don't want to enter the palace..."
"Okay, okay, I said it as if you will definitely be chosen..." Chang Yu chuckled: "If you really don't want to enter the palace, I will go to the Ministry of Etiquette to recommend you!"
As soon as the words were finished, Su Chenghuang's family came hurriedly in: "Brother Chang... Someone from the Ministry of Etiquette came to the door early this morning, saying that the prince was interested in my family's fruit..."
Hey, Chang Yu and Chunxiang looked at each other, there is something fishy about this.
"It is the dream of many women to enter the palace and become a princess, and later become a queen and mother-in-law, enjoying all the glory and wealth in the world." Sujing stood at the door and sighed: "It's a pity that I have already entered Buddhism, and I am not pretty.
Royal Eyes, regret, regret."
"Master, I don't want to enter the palace," Lian Xin cried in the room: "You want to go, you go."
"Huh, master, I really want to go." Su Jing snorted coldly, and Chang Yu joked next to him: "If you really want to go, I will help you..." As soon as he finished speaking, a murderous look came over, and Chang Yu hurriedly
I got up and summoned someone to go to the Ministry of Rites to ask what was going on.
Breakfast was very light, but very nutritious, but Chang Yu, who was hungover, couldn't eat at all. He sat in the hall and kept drinking strong tea to relieve himself. Chunxiang kept burying his head in the water tank, and things came in and out from time to time.
Whisper something in his ear. As the second-in-command of Dongchang, he is in charge of many things, even more than Chang Yu. After all, Chang Yu is just the one carrying the banner, while he is responsible for handling things.
After a while, Chunxiang walked into the main room angrily: "There are rumors outside that my eldest brother served tea and water to the officials at the official banquet yesterday. Bah, they deserve it! If you dare to speak in front of me, you must give them a drink."
hand".
"Maybe the rumors are true?" Chang Yu smiled faintly, and Chunxiang's face turned darker: "It can't be true."
"You said it was just a rumor?" Chang Yu's smile did not change, but Chunxiang was confused and said after a while: "I don't believe it."
At this time, Su Jing walked in: "Niubi was all the limelight yesterday. I didn't come last night and now there's no one around. I really forgot whose bowl I was carrying."
"He is now the leader of Baiyun Temple, and he is very busy presiding over the affairs within the temple. Besides, he is from outside the temple and is different from us ordinary people." Chang Yu chuckled and said with a pout, "It's a big festival, at least he knows how to come and ask questions.
Settle in."
"I haven't seen you say hello to me yet," Chang Yu joked, Su Jing rolled his eyes and said, "Do you want me to kowtow to you?"
"If I kowtow now, I won't give you any lucky money." Chang Yu said with a smile, and Su Jing pulled out her sword to scare him. Chang Yu suddenly thought of something, so he got up and went to the inner room to get the Tangxi sword and handed it to Su Jing: "Celebrate the big festival.
I’ll give you a good thing.”
Su Jing took it, drew the sword and flicked it with one finger, like a dragon roaring, raised the sword and stabbed the cold air and couldn't help exclaiming: "This is a peerless magic weapon!"
"It's said to be a good thing, but you don't like ordinary objects." Chang Yu smiled faintly, Su Jing couldn't put it down, and praised the sword endlessly: "Does it have a name?"
"I only know that it is the Tangxi Ancient Sword, but I don't know its name. Now that it belongs to you, give it a name."
"Then let's call it Soul Seizing," Su Jing chuckled.
After drinking a few pots of strong tea, the headache subsided. Chang Yu had no appetite for food. He weighed two eggs, peeled them and ate them before going to the front yard. Su Chenghuang and his wife were chatting with Lao Hu. When he saw him coming, Lao Hu went to work.
.
"Uncle, aunt" Chang Yu sat down on the stone bench in the yard: "Are you willing to let Little Apple enter the palace?"
"Hey, we just want this girl to find a good family to marry in peace. She doesn't have the fortune to be rich and noble on the day she enters the palace, and I don't have the luck either," Su Chenghuang sighed.
often
It’s not a rare thing, Queen Zhou is also an ordinary person, and the father-in-law used to be a fortune teller on the streets.”
Su Chenghuang was startled when he heard this: "Brother Chang, what do you mean?"
Chang Yu shook his head lightly: "It's not what I mean, it's what you mean."
Su Weizhi and his wife looked at each other and said, "It would be great if this girl has such a rich life."
Chang Yu nodded slightly. This is what normal people think. Who doesn't want glory and wealth? Don't say that entering the palace is like a caged bird. You must know that when a person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. In troubled times, when eating outside is not enough, the belly is not covered, but the palace is full of rich clothes.
There were all kinds of delicacies, including delicacies from mountains and seas. At that time, how many people wanted to be like a caged bird.
Not to mention the glory and wealth in the prosperous times.
After talking about the conversation again, Chang Yu asked Su Chenghuang and his wife to go back and register in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Etiquette, and leave the rest to God's will. It is a good thing to be selected, but there is still a sum of money to be received if not selected.
