Marry a peasant woman to be a queen

Chapter 187 The Draft Announcement (1)
"Your Excellency, you are looking for me." Since Xiao Shuqing became a fool and unable to perform human affairs, County Magistrate Xiao has always been interested in official affairs, and ordinary trivial matters are handled directly by Chen Jiazhi without reporting. Now he It was so late, and still waiting for Chen Jiazhi, there must be something very important to discuss with Chen Jiazhi.

"Old Chen, you are back." The hand holding the envelope trembled, and he took the letter back when he heard Chen Jiazhi's voice. List.

When Chen Jiazhi heard the title of county magistrate Xiao, he thought that he was looking for him for something.

"Yes, Xiaguan just strolled around the street, and I heard the guards say that you need me for something, so I rushed here. What happened, my lord?"

"It's like this. I received a letter from Kyoto, which said that I was asked to do something very important. After thinking about it, it's better to discuss it with you. You have been following me all these years, and I didn't take you seriously. An outsider." Xiao Chengfu talked about the past with a serious expression.

Strictly speaking, Xiao Chengfu is indeed Chen Jiazhi's teacher. If it weren't for Xiao Chengfu, Chen Jiazhi would not be sitting in the county assistant position now. These years, Chen Jiazhi has always shown his loyalty, otherwise Xiao Chengfu's family has a For such a big matter, it is impossible for Xiao Chengfu to hand over the county government affairs to Chen Jiazhi.

"My lord's kindness to me, I dare not forget, and I always regard my lord as my dearest person. If my lord asks me to do something, I will do it for my lord through thick and thin." .”

"Old Chen, if you can think like this, I feel relieved. There is one thing we need to do now, and we have to do it without anyone noticing it." County magistrate Xiao dismissed all the servants, Ruo Da's insider Only he and Chen Jiazhi were left in the hall.

"Sir, please speak."

"Come over here."

Chen Jiazhi approached Xiao Chengfu, and Xiao Chengfu leaned into Chen Jiazhi's ear and ordered.

"What, is this news reliable?" After hearing this, Chen Jiazhi stared at the boss with an expression of disbelief.

"The letter from Kyoto seems to be reliable. My elder brother sent a letter saying that there is evidence to prove that the daughter of the Feng family who disappeared 15 years ago is in our Anyang county. My elder brother please ask me to look for the daughter of the Feng family. You too Knowing that the Feng family is a century-old family, its position in the court has been stable for a hundred years, if we can help the Feng family find its first daughter-in-law in a century, let alone the Feng family, I am afraid that even the emperor will reward you Us." When County Magistrate Xiao received the letter from the elder brother, he read it for a long time. The elder brother was able to disclose such important news to him. It must have been truly accepted by him, and he wanted him to use this as an opportunity to make a good contribution. His return to Kyoto will be much more straightforward.

"If the daughter of the Feng family will really be in our Anyang County, I will find her even if I bring Anyang County over. My lord, did your elder brother say that there is a sign for the daughter of the Feng family when she leaves, and how can I be sure?" Is it the real daughter of the Feng family?" Chen Jiazhi heard that Anyang County has more big shots, and his heart was about to jump out. He had just met a son of a family, and now another daughter of a family may be hiding in Anyang County. .

"Brother said in the letter that the daughter of the Feng family must have worn clothes with the seal of the Feng family before she disappeared. As long as we follow this clue, we will always find clues." County magistrate Xiao thought in his heart. It's also bright and clear, Anyang County is so big, it's not easy to find someone, it's really right that the elder brother asked him to do this.

"Your official knows, I will do my best to cooperate with you in finding the daughter of the Feng family, and I hope your lord will not forget to speak well for you in front of your elder brother." Chen Jiazhi thought to himself, only Xiao Guogong's mansion is the only one with the surname Xiao in the capital. One family, although County Magistrate Xiao told Wei him clearly, he guessed that the county magistrate Xiao’s backer should be the Xiao family, but it is not yet clear whether the so-called eldest brother of County Magistrate Xiao is a direct or collateral lineage of Duke Xiao’s mansion.

If it is a direct line, then it is extremely powerful, if it is a collateral line, it can only be followed by some light, and it is not a big deal.

"Then it's hard work for you. After the matter is completed, your benefits will definitely be lost." Patting Chen Jiazhi on the shoulder, this matter is no small matter. If you really find the prostitute of the Feng family, the benefits will naturally be indispensable.

Back in the inner room, Mrs. Xiao was sitting in front of the dressing table putting on makeup. Seeing Xiao Chengfu come in with a happy face, she was very happy. Ever since Qing'er's accident, the master has hardly smiled on his face. What happened today? Make the sullen master happy like this.

"Master, you're back." As soon as Xiao Chengfu was happy, she was naturally happy too, with a brisk tone.

"Ma'am, you haven't slept yet." My heart felt happy, and my vision widened. Looking at Mrs. Xiao, I felt extraordinarily beautiful. I haven't felt this way for a long time.

"No, I'll just wait for you, master. What is the master happy about today? He told me to listen and make me happy too." Qing'er's illness was a stone between the two of them. Haven't spoken well.

"I received a letter from Kyoto today. My lord, the day when I return to Kyoto to become an official and noble is just around the corner. Madam, tell me if this is worth being happy about."

"Master did it for this. This is naturally a great joy." Mrs. Xiao patted Xiao Chengfu's back lightly. Her mother-in-law's greatest wish before her death was to hope that their family could return to the capital to recognize their ancestors.

It's just that although the capital promised to let them enter the capital, it has not yet set a date. Now that the master is so happy, I am afraid that there is some kind of promise from the capital.

The bulletin board of the county government was full of people early on, and the county government issued a new announcement. Some of the big guys wanted to watch the excitement, and some of them wanted to see what the county government said on it.

"Starting today, where there is an unmarried girl under the age of 16, her parents must register with the county government within ten days to prepare for the palace draft three years later, or if any deceit or concealment is found, Immediately in prison."

"It's weird, it's weird, didn't the Imperial Palace just finish the show in the spring of this year, and they just sent off a batch of them, and then they started again. If you want to say that there are too many unmarried women under sixteen in Anyang County, If you really have to go to the county government to register one by one, it is estimated that the gate of the county government will have to be squeezed by these women."

"That's not true. In previous years, women were not designated to participate in the county election first, and then enter the state election. This time, as long as the girls under [-] and unmarried girls are eligible to participate in the palace draft after three years, in this way, Don’t break the gate of the county government.” Some people immediately echoed that the imperial palace is a place that many women want to enter but cannot enter.
