Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 514
Old General Chu laughed loudly, stroked his gray beard, and replied, "Why don't you say that you still have that ruthlessness in your bones? I remember that when you came back from the first battle, your whole body was soaked in blood. , almost like a blood man."

"That time..." General Wang looked out of the window with a more nostalgic look on his face, "I was stunned the first time I killed someone, and I hardly knew how to swing a knife. It was the general who saved my life, and then I became red-eyed , so I don’t care so much. Get used to it slowly, and it will become more and more smooth.”

"Speaking of which, when the great general marched west, although it was a bit more tiring and dangerous, it was rare and lively. Every time I think about it, I can't help but feel excited."

Old General Chu drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and sighed, "I'm old, and I can't wield a sword or gun anymore. I'll see you boys make great achievements in the future!"

"What did the old general say? You are still a treasured sword. Otherwise, the general will not leave the rear to you if he leads people into Dayue. I still trust you to grow old, and you will be safe with you."

General Wang was not dull-tempered either, and a few words made Old General Chu even happier.

But thinking about Gong Zhiming who was far away in Dayue, the old general was still a little worried.

"The general is now sitting on the throne of Dayue, which is what I expected. After all, that old fox... Well, the former emperor of Dayue, who has been plotting for many years, although the general looks deserted, he is actually the most soft-hearted and upright. It is also common sense. But the situation of Da Yue has been bad for so many years. The former emperor of Da Yue was lingering on the sick bed, the family was rampant, the people were exploited, and the two princes did not live up to their expectations. .”

General Wang nodded, "Although the foundation of Dayue is not good, the general is of the blood of Dayue, and his ascension to the throne is always justifiable, unlike... hey, unlike Dong Hao, the general fought for many years, and in the end, he thought about it for him. The general is sorry."

Old General Chu waved his hand, "If the General wants to fight for it, Dong Hao will never give up the throne. The General was born with the title of the only bloodline in the Wuhou Mansion, but suddenly the world is turned upside down and he becomes a tree without roots." , It is common sense to focus on finding the truth. Besides, with the general's ability, it may not be difficult to unify the Three Kingdoms."

"Three Kingdoms? Unify the world?" General Wang was raising his hand to pour wine, when he heard this, he suddenly looked at the smiling old General Chu, "Does the General have such a plan?"

Old General Chu refused to say any more, and just threw out a sentence, "The general killed Tie Le, took down Dong Hao, and now sits on the throne of Dayue. Is it still difficult to rule the world? But it's too early to say these things for the time being. Let's have a drink."

General Wang barely suppressed the excitement in his heart, and quickly poured wine for the old general, and the two drank another glass.

He couldn't bear it anymore, pointed to the north and asked, "Old general, what do you think that guy is thinking? The last general guarding the mouth of the Jin River and sending food to Dayue, wouldn't it be..."

Old General Chu shook his head. Although he accepted the letter from his son-in-law, he still didn't know what deal his son-in-law had reached with Qin Rui.Undoubtedly, his fox-like prime minister's relatives must have intervened, but in the final analysis, the new emperor's mind is still elusive. He has already acted like this, and he has tacitly agreed to join the enemy, and even handed over the important pass of Jinhekou to Gong Zhiming. In his hands, isn't he afraid that Gong Zhiming will lead a large army to invade Donghao?

If you don't understand it, don't think about it. The old general has always been open-minded, so he simply threw these doubts to the back of his mind, and dragged General Wang to a drink, before being carried down by Chu's second son to rest.

On the contrary, General Wang returned to the gate in the dark like a normal person.

Although the night was dark and the rolling river was still roaring, the cargo ships transporting food kept coming and going.General Wang stood on the shore for a long time, until the night wind blew through his clothes before turning around and leaving.

Donghao is his hometown, and the general is his benefactor. How to be loyal to the general without betraying his hometown is a dilemma, and he can't think of an answer.

But for the time being, he only knows that it is imperative to help the general as much as possible and transport food to Dayue without harming Donghao!
Not to mention how busy Jinhekou is as usual, but to say that Donghao Kyoto has been extremely busy for half a month. Outside the capital, there are carriages and horses escorting his young lady to the election from time to time. They are all earning a lot of money, and all the shopkeepers are counting money until their hands are cramped, and they can't wait to break a day into a month to use it.

But there is always a deadline for such a good time. Seeing that the day after tomorrow is the general election, the traffic on the streets has finally decreased, but the restaurants and inns have been overcrowded again.

What the World Bank lacks, there is no shortage of smart people.In order to gain momentum for their daughters, the officials who dreamed of being the head of the country almost exhausted all means.

At a poetry meeting held in a certain restaurant today, a certain scholar wrote three good poems in a row, amazed everyone, but in the end, a "good-hearted person" revealed that the scholar was actually the eldest lady of a certain family, and she went out disguised as a man.

As a result, the title of "Kyoto's No. [-] Talented Woman" was given away.

The next day, there was a mysterious woman playing the piano in the pavilion on the side of the road where people came and went. Passers-by were fascinated by the sound. The laurels of "The Best Qin in the World" go back.

Another day, a woman in a painting and calligraphy shop disliked the poor quality of her paintings. She picked up a paintbrush on the spot and swiped a picture of a hundred birds facing a phoenix. "Reputation.

At the beginning, everyone was amazed by this kind of thing, and they couldn't help talking about it, but gradually they got used to it, and finally even picked their ears out of boredom, hating their ears being filled with such things all day long.

It's hard to look forward to the day of the big draft girls. Almost every girl has an inexplicable name on her head, and the variety is so varied that it makes people laugh.

In Yongfu Palace, while drinking wine, Qin Rui laughed so hard when he heard Qin Quan vividly talk about how "dominant" the woman's name was in the election.

"I knew that choosing a concubine is an interesting thing. I have already ordered it to go on. Why wait until today."

Qin Quan secretly glanced at his master's expression, as if he really didn't want to hide the meaning of misery, so he tentatively said, "Perhaps these officials have also held their breath. Previously, the general Gongzhi fell in love with Miss Ding and refused to choose her." Concubine. I don’t know how many veils these stewardesses have torn, and now that the master is more wise and powerful than the general, they naturally want to enter the palace with more heart!"

Qin Rui's Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking arc.

"Dong Shi is just imitating! Even if they claim to be number one in the world, they are not as good as that woman..."
His voice became lower and lower, and the last half of the sentence disappeared in the wind without even a trace, but Qin Quan guessed it clearly.

"Master, since you don't like these women, do you still want to choose a concubine?"

"Choose, why don't you choose?" Qin Rui held up a glass of wine and swayed it gently. Seeing the viscous wine hanging on the white jade cup and slowly sliding down, the sourness in his heart seemed to be stretched, and he said lightly, "You are a pity Are these women going to bury their prime years in the deep palace?"

Although Qin Quan called him master, he actually regarded Qin Rui as his only family member. Naturally, he didn't shy away from flattery, so he nodded and said, "Since master doesn't like it, don't choose a concubine and let these women out Getting married and having children, it’s better to live in the deep palace. Back then in the Dayue Palace, the old emperor had been sick for many years, and those hundreds of concubines were really pitiful, worse than the widows of the people..."

Qin Rui drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and it took him a while to respond, "Under the sky, nothing is fair. Since their parents want to use their years to seek wealth, they agree, this is a gamble." , naturally you have to be prepared to lose everything. Besides, no matter how bad the palace is, there will always be food and clothing.”

Qin Quan's mouth moved, but he still didn't say anything.People are not golden birds, as long as they are given some water, there will always be some desires and covetousness.It is foreseeable that this palace will definitely be very lively in the future.

However, instead of watching the master sit like this every day, it's better to be lively, although this lively may not be what the master likes...

When the emperor chooses his concubine, the six aristocratic families will naturally not miss such a good opportunity.Not to mention the two families that fell to the emperor early, the other four families, especially the Linghu family who made up their minds to seize power, have long ago dressed up the most beautiful and smartest girl in the family, bought countless clothes and jewelry, and even specially prepared The old lady in the palace was invited to teach the rules and etiquette. As for the name, a special flower viewing party was held, and the title of the most beautiful woman in Kyoto was picked.

Finally, on the day of the general election, the carriages outside the east gate of the palace were lined up almost seven or eight miles away. Regardless of the official positions of the family's father and grandparents, all the ladies only took Qingbu pony carriages, and only one coachman was allowed to drive. Get off, the carriage will return.

The eunuchs who had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time and the old mothers quickly stuffed their purses into their sleeves, and the heavy weight made their expressions much more amiable...

The first day of the general election was very simple, excluding those who were too ugly, too short and too invisible, 360 of the [-] ​​ladies were left, and all of them were sent to Chuxiu Palace, which was closest to the gate of the palace.

Just as the name suggests, Chuxiu Palace is a rookie.

As the old saying goes, three women play a play, and more than 100 women get together, how can this stage not be lively.

Before the mini-election started, the good shows had already started one after another.

Today a good-looking young lady accidentally eats allergies, her face is covered with red bumps, tomorrow someone eats a bad stomach and goes to the palace to see a doctor, and the next day a few people fall into the water in the garden and almost drown...

The news in the palace has always been the most important concern of the people in the whole capital, so the big drama in Chuxiu palace has become the bustle of the whole capital.

In teahouses and restaurants, everyone loves to talk about it, and everyone is a storyteller.

Of course, this is because there are no daughters in the family to participate in the election, and those who lose the election feel unbalanced.As for those who still have a daughter in the palace at home, they are worried about it. They can't wait to scratch their hearts and want to enter the palace to support their daughter.

It's a pity that although the imperial palace is not taken care of by concubines and mothers, it is not a flat land where people can walk.
