Chapter 224 Choosing a Concubine【Coolsake and Choi+】

"You! You can't do this to us! You heartless girl, aren't you afraid that someone will poke your spine?"

No matter how much Gao yelled and scolded, in the end, someone took off his cloak and threw him out of the broken garden.

Shi Xiuxiu's jewelry was taken off all over her head and body, making her hair and face dirty and extremely embarrassing.

Shi Rui stopped crying a long time ago, because he saw that it was useless to cry in front of this niece, so why cry?Do you really think his tears are the water in the river, so you don't feel tired when they fall?

To say that Zhong Shan and the others were the most polite to the little boy Shi Gui, they just took him out and returned all their family's burdens to him.

Mrs. Gao wanted to go in again, but this time the broken garden has been replaced by two powerful gatekeepers, and Wangcai, who was recently sent to guard the cave to watch mushrooms, just received the news and rushed over, baring sharply. Its fangs show its small paws and stare at this family. If you dare to take half a step forward, it will pounce on you and bite.

Gao Shi was timid, she was really going to be hurt by this beast, how could she reason with it?

Shi Xiuxiu didn't dare to make a fuss anymore, she stroked her hair angrily and complained to Shi Rui, "Father, what did that damn girl do to us? Why can't you control her?"

Shi Rui blew his nose violently, and wanted to throw it at the gate of the broken garden, but Wangcai widened his eyes, and immediately walked out from the door, as if he was about to jump up.

Shi Rui was startled, and backed up again and again. Wangcai finally gave up because he wiped his nose on his pants in front of the little wolf cub.

Shi Gui is a sensible person, persuaded. "Forget it, father, mother, let's go find an inn to stay in, and apologize to my cousin later..."

"What is there to apologize to her? You are not afraid of ruining her fortune!" Gao Shi still refused to admit his mistake.

Shi Gui puffed up his mouth and said the truth, "It was our fault that we left behind our grandparents."

"Damn boy, which family are you from? Why are you turning your elbows all the way out?" Shi Xiuxiu was about to raise her hand to hit her younger brother, when suddenly another person came.

As soon as she raised her eyes, Shi Xiuxiu's arms froze there.The whole person seemed to be under the immobilization method, and he couldn't move.

The night was getting late, and there was only a thin sliver of red glow in the blue-white sky.

The handsome young man sat upright on a tall purple-black horse, wrapped in a thick dark blue robe, making his skin as white as snow even more.He wore a high fur collar, covering the small half of his face under the bridge of his nose.But a pair of quiet and bright black eyes became more and more clear and moist.

When he came to the gate of the broken garden, he turned over and got off his horse and landed on the ground, his head full of black hair swaying gently like the finest black satin, drawing a beautiful arc.

"Who are you guys?" The man frowned slightly when he saw them.The proud chin raised slightly and asked.

But Shi Xiuxiu was completely dumbfounded, she opened her mouth and didn't know how to answer.It was Poyuan's servants who came forward to lead the horses, and said, "A group of people who don't know where they came from pretended to be sister Zhu's uncle and aunt, turned the house upside down, and injured Luo Liang. The child, just kicked out!"

"No, no!" Gao Shi, who was also stunned, seemed to come back to his senses.Hastily stepped forward to explain, "We are really Sister Mu's uncle and aunt. I just don't know why this girl even changed her surname. Could it be that Mother Hui remarried again?"

"What nonsense!" Ouyang Kang snorted in displeasure, but when he glanced at them again, he was a bit concerned, "Are you really her uncle and aunt?"

"It's absolutely true!" Shi Ruipo smiled and asked tentatively, "Master, are you the son of the Hou family?"

Looking at his appearance, and hearing about Hou Fangyu, Ouyang Kang is basically sure, "My surname is not Hou, but Ouyang."

Surname Ouyang?The accent sounded familiar, and Shi Rui thought about it suspiciously, "You can't be Mr. Ouyang in our five-in-one mansion in Huai'an, are you? Why do you live with us Nianfu?"

This is really indecent.

Before Ouyang Kang could answer, Gao hurriedly stepped forward with an apologetic smile, "Mr. Ouyang, since you are also from Huai'an, you should be able to hear the accent. We are the uncle and aunt of that dead...Nianfu girl, but you think she is fine." , and drove us out when we met, isn’t that too unreasonable? We have come from a long way, and we have nowhere to go. Look, it’s getting dark, where are we going? You see People who have read books and understand things will definitely not be unreasonable like that girl, will they?"

Shi Gui couldn't stand it anymore, "Forget it, let's go! It's not that we don't have money, why bother him so much?"

Gao was so angry that he went up and slapped Shi Gui twice, cursing in a low voice, "Why do you always tear down your house? How expensive are things in this capital? Haven't you seen how nice that girl lives? What are we doing?" If you don’t stay here, you still have to go out and spend that wronged money?”

Ouyang Kang had already heard it clearly, lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, looked at them and said, "It's true that you want to live here, but if you don't have a place to stay, I can take you to find a place to rest first. "

"That's great!" Shi Rui patted his thigh happily, "Then let's go, Mr. Ouyang, where are we going?"

The servants in the family were puzzled, "Young Master..."

Ouyang Kang waved his hand, "I have my own opinion on this matter, just tell Sister Zhu, and I will return in a while."

The Shi family happily followed Ouyang Kang away.

But at first they thought they were going to live in a mansion, but in the end Ouyang Kang took them to a relatively quiet small inn, asked for a big clean room and brought them in, "If you want, you can do it here first." In just a few days, it can be regarded as my fellow countryman showing the friendship of the landlord, if you don’t want to, please feel free to do it yourself.”

The whole family looked at each other, Shi Gui was alright, the other three were a little reluctant, after seeing the beautiful house where Nianfu lived, who would want to live here?

Ouyang Kang lowered his head and smiled, "Don't look at me dressed like a young man. To put it bluntly, if I can live in that poor garden, it's all thanks to your sister to take me in. So far I don't know how much I owe her for rent and meals. So the ability is really limited. I believe you all know how expensive the capital is. If you don’t want to, then I have no other choice. Let me go.”

"Don't!" Gao immediately stopped him, it is always good to have a place to live without money, if there is no place here, who else would take them in?

It's just that Mrs. Gao was a little skeptical, "How can such a big garden be called a broken garden? Also, why is it that girl who has the final say?"

Ouyang Kang said in a sincere tone. "The garden used to be in ruins, and the houses you are looking at now don't have any. It's all up to your sister to find someone to borrow money to repair the garden. Isn't she the one who decides? I'm just a tenant."

Shi Xiuxiu didn't believe it, "Why is that girl so capable? Is it the money from the Hou family?"

Ouyang Kang shook his head, pretending to be regretful and said, "I guess you don't know yet, right? The Hou family...the marriage with her has already resigned."

"Really?" Shi Xiuxiu smiled happily.Even the anger I received just now seems to be able to spit out.

Ouyang Kang glanced at her calmly, "However, she is very popular and knows how to cook. She came to the capital and got along well with Duke Ping and Marquis of Zhenyuan. Many noble families got along well, so she You have the ability to build such a big house."

Shi Xiuxiu suddenly lost face.He snorted coldly, "That damn girl has a sweet mouth since she was a child, and she is the best at coaxing people!"

It's the second time.Ouyang Kang silently memorized the number in his heart, but then asked, "I don't know why you went to Beijing?"

Shi Xiuxiu was a little embarrassed to say, and turned around pretending to be shy, but Gao Shi said quickly. "Choose the concubine!"

What to choose?This time it was Ouyang Kang's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Don't you know? It has been spread in the country for a long time. Didn't the emperor just choose the number one scholar? The next step is to choose a concubine. Girls in the world, as long as they are innocent, can participate in the election. I heard that this time it is full There are 3000 people to be selected. Even if you can’t choose a concubine, you can be matched with a wealthy family. As soon as we got the news, we went to Beijing and met many girls from other families on the way, but none of them are as beautiful as my daughter!”

Seeing that Gao was still bragging, Shi Xiuxiu interrupted her suddenly, "Actually, it's okay if you can't be selected..." She thought she was shy, but her eyes were extremely enthusiastic and direct, and she glanced at Ouyang Kang, " At that time, if the son also goes to participate in the election..."

Good luck then.Ouyang Kang quickly apologized bluntly, "Your Majesty is already engaged, I'm afraid I will miss such a grand event."

Just how did such nonsense spread?But this is not the focus of Ouyang Kang's attention. He sat down and first arranged their background, "How did you come to the capital? Have you worked hard on this journey?"

"That is."

In front of Mr. Ouyang, who is so gentle, humble and understands etiquette and benevolence, several members of the Shi family began to talk about their experiences after parting.

It's just that in the palace, some people are more concerned about the rumor.

Gao Xian was so angry that even Shou Ning, who had just returned to the palace, didn't have time to spend more time with him, so he hurriedly summoned the ministers of the court and China, and rushed back to Yanying Hall to discuss urgent matters.

"Gong Sunhong, tell them what you just told me in the Imperial Study Room!"

"Yes." Gong Sunhong bowed to several ministers, and said in a deep voice, "When I was stationed in Funan County, I often went to the surrounding areas to check the people's sentiments. Recently, I accidentally heard a news that His Majesty I plan to choose a concubine, and I need to recruit 3000 people from the harem. As long as they are innocent and decent-looking unmarried women can participate in the election, even if they are not selected, they can marry rich and noble families in the capital. People still have their noses and eyes, saying that the right day will be in the new year next year During the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor of Jieshi will personally attend the imperial election at the Chengtian Gate in the south of the imperial city. At first I got the news, I thought it was an isolated phenomenon in the surrounding area of ​​Funan County, but after careful observation, I found that recently Many people really came from afar with their daughters, and some even rushed to the capital. Knowing that something was wrong, I hurried into the palace to report to the Holy One."
