The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 158 The Crown Princess

In mid-spring, the weather was as warm as early summer, and the people with strong firepower had already changed their jackets and put on thin shirts.

Xiao Wu practiced exercises every day, soaked his whole body, and protested many times before he was allowed to wear summer clothes. Compared with the previous year, this baby has grown a bit, and the gap with Xiao Liu's size is getting bigger and bigger.

Xiao Liu was very dissatisfied with this: "Mom, I want to drink one more glass of milk than brother five, brother five is secretly growing up!"

"Just talk nonsense, can you control how long you are? Look at your fat belly, all the meat you eat goes here. Your fifth brother grows vertically, and you grow horizontally!"

"Mother, you are biased! Don't raise the sixth grader!"

"Then what should we do? Is Xiao Liu going to be a son for the second and third aunts?"

"Mother, how could you do this!" Xiao Liu was about to cry, so he didn't want to go to the house of the third and fourth brothers.

The Fan sisters finally conceived their second child one after another. After all, they are still young, and they have been recuperating well in the past few years. After moving to Dali Village, they can still see men every night.

Mrs. Ma insisted that the Fengshui in Dali Village was good and beneficial to the heirs, so besides taking care of old Yuantou, he was taking care of the two pregnant daughter-in-laws.

At this time, the little girls who were selected from the national draft were also on their way to the capital.

Xia Hongdi felt that the talent show was a waste of money and people, and asked the eighty prefectures other than the capital to send ten people to Beijing.

After all, the capital city is special, with rich and powerful people gathered there, so he generously gave it to [-] people, a total of [-] beautiful girls.

This draft is more attractive than choosing a concubine for the emperor, the crown princess, the first wife, the next mother of the country!
The number of places is small, and the competition is even fiercer. Although the royal family does not have too many requirements for appearance, how dare the governors of various places be careless?

Chengdu mansion, Fan family.

"Patriarch, we married the fifth lady to the Hu family, which is considered to be a marriage with the Zhongqin uncle's mansion. The candidates for the crown princess this time, our Jia Leyu and Luo Shu are at the right age, we must let them try!"

"Yes, Patriarch, the opportunity is rare, and we didn't say anything to Uncle Zhongqin's house at the beginning, so it's not a breach of promise."

Mr. Fan looked puzzled, although everyone knew why he would send his two grandnieces to Uncle Zhongqin's mansion, but after they returned to Shu to observe their filial piety, the two mansions had severed this connection.

Now that he has changed his mind, what face will he have to face Uncle Zhongqin and his students in the future?

But in the end, the interests of the family are more important than anything else. Their Fan family now has a member of the ceramic tile factory in Shudi. If the grandniece and grandniece of the family can enter the palace and become a concubine, the whole family will be promoted to a higher level.

As a husband, Mr. Fan was free and easy, but as the head of the family, he realized that there were many things that his elder brother had to do.

Forget it, after all, the Fan family had selfish intentions, and at the same time asked the Fan family to sign up for the two grandnieces, and at the same time sent a sincere apology letter to Uncle Zhongqin's residence.

After reading Mr. Fan's letter of apology, Hei Wa smiled: "Mr. Fan is worthy of being the head of the family, and he is very considerate!"

Cuihua doesn't care: "Anyway, our family doesn't want to get married, and the two elders of your family still treat the two girls as juniors."

"Thanks to the fact that our sons haven't gotten the hang of it yet. If we get a childhood sweetheart, we won't be able to vomit to death. After the second elder brother marries the second sister-in-law, the Fan family, we will be considered relatives of the second sister-in-law's family." Let's get along."

"Yeah, from this point of view, it will be easier to grasp the propriety from now on, and he is quite interesting, after all, he married a daughter to my mother's family!"

Not to mention the mutterings of Cuihua and his wife, at this time, when they came to Beijing again and went to a different place, Le Yu and Luo Shu couldn't help but feel uneasy.

One of them is nine years old and the other is eight years old. They are at the age of flower bones. In addition, they have learned court etiquette in the capital for nearly two years.

"Sister, I really want to see Nannan, Sister Xiaocao, and Sister Xiaohua." Luo Shu still remembered her three little sisters.

"We have to go directly to the palace this time. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to figure it out. Shu'er, you are not allowed to mess around. When we came here, my uncle told us several times that we must obey the rules."

Luo Shu was unhappy, she was not very interested in choosing a concubine, she still remembered back then, when her mother said that if she could marry the young master of Uncle Zhongqin's mansion, she would be very happy.

Although they rarely saw the two young masters in Zhongqinbo's mansion in less than two years, she still liked living in Zhongqinbo's mansion.

Madam Yuan treated them well. She felt that if her mother-in-law was like Madam Yuan, she wouldn't be afraid of getting married!
There were more than 8000 people who signed up for the election in the capital, and Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but ask her daughter, "Tell me, is it possible for Xiaocao and Xiaohua to sign up?"

Cuihua didn't expect her mother to have such ambitions: "Mother, do you think that if they enter the palace and become concubines, they will be able to compete with other noble girls?"

Mrs. Zhang said embarrassingly: "This, it's not that Xiaohua's mother saw that there was one in the village. It's not as good as Xiaohua's. She thinks our granddaughter is not bad!"

"Mother, let's not talk about whether you can be selected or not. In this palace, there are a dozen or more women who surround a man. Apart from being beautiful, they also need more scheming and calculations to live well.

Moreover, after you have a child, you have to plan for the child. Then, the mother's family that will be implicated behind the child will have to stand in line. Then you say, our roots are basically shallow. In case, we stand in the wrong line, If you are not careful, you will harm the Nine Clans! "

Mrs. Zhang was also worried about this matter, but when she heard what her daughter said, she patted her thigh:

"Let me just say, that's good. I still want to enter the palace. I only saw thieves eating meat, but I didn't see thieves being beaten! It's so dangerous, it's better to find a down-to-earth family and live a solid life, isn't it?" Is it better?"

"Mother, tell me, my nieces who grew up in my house, can I not think about them? To live life, I have to try to be steadfast!"

"Girl, just forget what your mother said earlier, thanks to Xiaocao and Xiaohua growing up in your house, they are not as ignorant as their mother and I, I will not mess with these in the future."

After entertaining Mrs. Zhang for lunch, Cuihua also called the three little girls to the backyard, saying they were having afternoon tea.

The three little girls smiled happily, and followed Madam Chun to the backyard, where they saw their aunt (aunt) setting up two long tables in a lawn.

A tablecloth made of sackcloth was also spread on the table. On the table, there were actually many fruit plates and many small pastries.

This white and fat one is Xue Mei Niang, they have eaten a lot;
There are also sandwiches with chicken chops and cabbage in the middle, cut into triangles, and you can kill one in one bite;
The small biscuits are covered with jam and cream, which is delicious at first glance;
Sesame biscuits, there is still some heat, you can know the smell, crispy and dregs;

There are also preserved fruits, dried fruits, etc. There are many small plates.

In the small blue-and-white porcelain cup, there was fruit tea that was [-]% full.

"Come on, little beauties, please take a seat!" The full sense of ceremony made the three little girls feel embarrassed and excited at the same time.

"Auntie, is the tea you drink in the afternoon afternoon tea?" Xiaocao has seen the most of the world, so she couldn't help but follow the name.

"Hehe, yes, tea in the afternoon is afternoon tea, and tea in the morning is morning tea!" Cuihua smiled, raised her teacup, and let the girls start.

"Well, auntie, it's so beautiful to eat this snack and drink fruit tea like this!" Nannan squinted her eyes, like a kitten, the sweet and sour fruit stimulated her to double her happiness.

"Isn't it beautiful? Let's have afternoon tea regularly in the future, and eat snacks while drinking. If you have any thoughts, you can talk to your aunt."

"Hee hee, aunt, what do you want to ask?" Although Xiao Hua was the last one to come, she has already supported her family and is used to life in Bo's Mansion, so she still feels uncomfortable when she returns to Dali Village.

"Let's just chat casually. Have you heard that the crown prince is choosing a concubine this time?"

"Auntie, Auntie, is that the prince who came to our Uncle Zhongqin's mansion?"

"Yes, do you want to sign up?"

"Don't go!"

"In no mood!"

"Auntie, I'm at home and I'm not going anywhere!"

This surprised Cuihua: "Why? Aren't you all curious about the palace? You live in the palace, but you can eat whatever you want, and wear whatever you want!"

"Auntie, the prince often comes to our house for dinner, so it can be seen that the food in our house is the best!"

Xiaocao is not stupid, she thinks, it must be because the food in the palace is not good, otherwise, the princess and prince would come here so frequently to eat.

"Auntie, it's too difficult to come out once in the palace, and then I won't be able to go back to my mother's house often!"

Xiaohua thinks that her mother's family is in the same village as her mother's. If her husband's family bullies her in the future, she will be able to go home!
Nannan ate Xue Mei Niang, her little mouth couldn't close, and she nodded while eating: "It's better to be at home, Nannan doesn't want to go anywhere!"

Well, Cuihua didn't expect that among the three little girls, one disliked the bad food in the palace, the other disliked the lack of freedom after entering the palace, and the other didn't know what entering the palace meant, so she was worried for nothing.

She didn't want to either. In the future, her nieces would complain that she blocked their future. After asking these people what they meant and confirming their attitude, she finally felt relieved.

"Are you ready?" the prince asked the companions.

"It's ready, Your Highness. On the first day, it mainly depends on the heart. In the Chuxiu Palace where the beautiful women live, more than ten non-poisonous little snakes have been placed."

Qin Ke was so excited, he caught all these non-poisonous little snakes from Leng Gong, and the rest were not as bold as him.

Yuan Wenjie didn't expect that among the many character requirements they wrote, the prince mentioned a few, the first one being bold and careful.

This is how the show girls were tested with snakes. Just thinking about it, they felt that those show girls would be screaming in fright.

Empress Gao hesitated to talk about her son's farce, but Xia Hongdi didn't care, he laughed loudly:

"My prince, you should be so picky. Queen, you were able to mount a horse and kill the enemy back then. What can you do for a princess who can faint from a mere snake? What can you expect from her?"

That night, at Haishi, the [-] show girls left behind after the first round of primaries were already suffering from backaches, and planned to sleep in seconds after washing up.

"Ah, there's a snake!" A beautiful woman just touched the quilt and planned to spread it out to sleep, when she touched a cold, strip-shaped living thing.

Immediately, the beautiful girls in the room were scared to death. This is a snake. Even if they are the beautiful girls selected from the people, how many people have seen snakes, and how many people are not afraid of snakes?They heard that the poisonous snake would fall in seven steps after one bite!

"Oh, don't come here, don't come here, where is the snake?"

"Mommy, mommy, there are snakes in the house, there are snakes, come quickly!"

There were ten people in one room, trembling with fright, hugging each other, the same situation spread in other rooms one after another, but the nuns and eunuchs seemed to have disappeared, and no one paid any attention to them.

Little Snake: Ma Ma, these two-legged beasts scare snakes, their voices are really shrill!
