Cannot attack objects

Well aware of Wu Changjun's unreliability, Zhong Shao of course didn't mess around with him in the end, and found an excuse to slip away as soon as he left Zhaowentang, and then avoided Wu Changjun for a while.

In fact, Zhong Shao didn't need to think about it. If he went to find Su Mo according to what Wu Changjun said, and then confessed his identity to her, what would Su Mo think of her? Either he thought she was crazy, or he thought she was stupid .

Zhong Shao is neither crazy nor stupid, so she will not do such a vain thing.And even if they really want to confess their identities, at least they have to wait until things have progressed and the engagement between the two is really possible.

In the next few days, Zhong Shao didn't mention the matter of engagement again, and the county government's mansion was also peaceful.

Lianqiu had already sent the news to Concubine Yu Gui, but there was no response from the palace, maybe Concubine Yu also thought it was ridiculous, so she ignored it.And Zhong Shao also took advantage of Xu Wenjin's lecture every morning, and asked her a few times on the sidelines, but Xu Wenjin didn't give her any advice, on the contrary, he always kept a secret, and seemed unwilling to talk about the possible marriage contract.

Zhong Shao thought about it carefully afterwards, she was not stupid, so he quickly understood the reason for Xu Wenjin's attitude.

After all, they are not the same as her.Zhong Shao is living her own life, so she wants to change her destiny, but these people are just passers-by, and they know the future. Future changes are naturally a good thing for her, but for prophets like them, it is a good thing. One big convenience is missing.If they are not driven by enough interests, they will certainly not expect to change.

Zhong Shao already knew that her future must be inextricably linked with Su Mo.And the occurrence of this connection probably has a lot to do with the so-called marriage contract!

After figuring this out, Zhong Shao was also a little frustrated.She has gradually regarded Xu Wenjin and Wu Changjun as her own, and she also intends to use their power to change the future, but it turns out that they probably won't want to cooperate.

So as far as this matter is concerned, all Zhong Shao can do now is to wait and see what happens.Just like what Xu Wenjin thought, at the age of 12, she was too immature, without power or means, so the decision-making power was in the hands of Concubine Yu, for her, she could only control herself!

Fortunately, Zhong Shao is not a person who likes to dig into the horns of the dead. After thinking about it, he was anxious for a day or two, and then gradually calmed down.After all, things are not up to her to decide, so the soldiers can only cover up the water and soil.

It's just that Wu Changjun was right in saying that since she didn't want to deceive, then if Concubine Yu Gui and Princess Eldest really intended to make an engagement for them, she should find a chance to confess her identity to Su Mo, and she couldn't really deceive him.

Zhong Shao's side gradually calmed down, but the capital gradually became restless.

Since the crown prince revealed the news that Emperor Taiping was going to be drafted again, the activities among the aristocratic families have become more and more active recently.Today there is a flower viewing feast in this family's mansion, and tomorrow there is another poetry party held by that family, and the day after that a group of young men and women will simply meet up and go hunting together in the city...

Obviously, this is a sign of the start of another round of marriages among the aristocratic families. They are trying to get all the daughters who have just entered the draft age before the emperor orders the draft!I don't know if Emperor Taiping knows about these actions of the family, and if he knows how disgusted he is, but considering how confused that person is, as long as no one specifically tells him, he probably won't think of it.

So all of a sudden, various forms of blind date banquets became popular among the aristocratic families in the capital, and even ordinary people noticed their unusual activity.Some smart people probably guessed something, and hurriedly followed to make a marriage for their own daughter, but they were very happy with those boys who were photographed, and the matchmaker who only had one mouth to eat.

Of course, neither the frequent contacts between the aristocratic families nor the turmoil of the people in the capital had anything to do with Zhong Shao.She is too young, and according to the draft rules, the age set is Jiji, which means that a girl is fifteen years old, and she is three years older than Zhong Shaolai. Under the premise that there are plenty of young talents to choose from, no one has chosen her yet. The idea is to hit this young county prince who has just emerged.

In this way, half a month passed in a hurry, and the imperial decree of Emperor Taiping's draft finally came down.

The officials in the court were dissatisfied but helpless, they could only hope that the prince would be a wise king in the future, and the people in the Ministry of Rites would be busy for a long time because of this matter.At this time, it was only ten months since the last draft, and even a year had not yet arrived. The dozens of beauties who were selected into the palace last time had already made Emperor Taiping lose interest, and they were forgotten. It is hard to say whether there will be a chance to see the emperor again in the future.

Seeing that the imperial decree has been issued, and there is no news from the palace or the princess mansion, Zhong Shao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly laughed at himself for thinking too much before——Su Mo is already sixteen, and she was enough for the last draft She is old, but in fact she is still in the boudoir well. Obviously, the eldest princess has a way to save her from this trouble.Since it was waived last time, there is no problem this time.

Zhong Shao optimistically thought that the matter was over like this, and even Xu Wenjin and Wu Changjun didn't say much, as if they acquiesced to this result.Because for them, the normal plot should have happened two or three years later. This time may be just a small episode not mentioned in the book, or it may be to pave the way for the next real engagement. Not worth looking into too deeply.

However, just a few days after Zhong Shaoan settled down, things suddenly took a turn for the worse.

I don't know who revealed the recent movement outside the palace to Emperor Taiping. After learning that all the aristocratic families and the common people in Beijing have recently engaged in marriages to avoid the draft, it is natural for Emperor Taiping to be furious. .

The majesty of the emperor cannot be violated, but it is human nature to marry a man and a woman, even if he is an emperor, there is no reason to blame him for this.What's more, there is a saying not to blame the public, not to mention the common people who follow the trend this time, it has become a common practice for the aristocratic family, which minister in the court has not done similar things?They naturally united, and they could not let Emperor Taiping open his head to ask for crimes.

Emperor Taiping deeply felt that his majesty was offended, so he couldn't vent his anger. When he was depressed, he immediately ordered the Ministry of Rites in charge of the draft to investigate strictly.He is too lazy to care about the common people's daughters, but those aristocratic families who dare to offend him have to be investigated carefully. Anyone who is old enough to meet the draft requirements, no matter whether they complain of illness at home or become a monk with an excuse, all of them must be brought into the palace to participate in the draft!

Whether you can be selected or not is one thing, after all, it is the emperor who chooses, and the initiative is in the hands of the emperor.And those people who avoided the draft with excuses were actually picking on the emperor, which was obviously unacceptable to Emperor Taiping!

Hearing this result, the hearts of most of the ministers in the DPRK fell back into their stomachs, because the daughters of their families had already taken advantage of the loopholes to make a marriage contract, and now they are not included in the scope of the draft.

But Su Mo was unlucky. She was originally from the Duke of Jing's family, so she was naturally included in the aristocratic family.Before, the eldest princess gave her an ultimatum and asked her to become a monk and practice Taoism, so she was exempted from the draft, but now she is on the brink of the gun.

This time, Emperor Taiping kept a close eye on the draft, and only gave the Ministry of Rites a day to sort it out, and the Ministry of Rites had to submit the roster in the morning of the next day.Rao Princess Yingyang's hands and eyes are open to the sky, and after getting the news, it is difficult to find a suitable loophole to take advantage of... Except for one ready-made method, that is, to make a marriage for Su Mo too!

This matter is easy to do, as long as you take the marriage certificate and show it to the ceremony department, the matter will be resolved.But it is troublesome to do this, it only takes one day, even if Her Royal Highness is extraordinary, it is difficult to find a good son-in-law for her daughter in such a short period of time.

At this moment, Su Han found the eldest princess again, bringing up the old matter again.

In fact, the last time Su Han talked to Zhong Shao, he went to see the eldest princess, but unfortunately, he was kicked out of the princess mansion before he finished talking—His Royal Highness seems to have an inexplicable dislike for Zhong Shao, This has been the case since the first meeting, so no matter how good Su Han said, she never thought about marrying her daughter to Zhong Shao.

However, today, when Su Han brought up the old story again, Princess Yingyang thought about the young talents of each family, and suddenly found out that all the young talents of the right age have been appointed!Apart from Zhong Shao at this moment, it would be difficult for her to find another suitable candidate in this day...

The eldest princess is very tangled, but time waits for no one.She just got the news in the morning, Su Han came over at noon, and talked about it for a long time. It's already half afternoon, if she doesn't make a decision, the Ministry of Rites has finished sorting out the roster, and it will be too late to change it. too much trouble.What's more about Zhong Shao's marriage, she had to tell Concubine Yu Gui first, Zhong Shao himself might not be able to decide.

In the end, Eldest Princess Yingyang entered the palace full of entanglements, and then came back even more entangled with a marriage certificate. Finally, with a smile on Su Han's face, someone sent the marriage certificate to the Ministry of Rites.

So in the end, both Zhong Shao and Su Mo were the last to know about this matter!

Zhong Shao didn't know what Su Mo would think when she heard the news, but her own mood was quite subtle, especially after seeing Xu Wenjin and Wu Changjun's expressions of "as expected"...

Taking advantage of the two people's complacency because they saved the plot, Zhong Shao suddenly asked: "Will the marriage that has been arranged in such a hurry to cope with the draft be counted in the future?"

Wu Changjun heard the words and replied without thinking, "Of course it counts, you two will get married in the future."
