Concubine Yu's biography

"Xianqi's house is as high as a mountain! Those carriages... No! They are not carriages like ours! It's a kind of iron box for carrying people, it's shiny, and it can fly in the sky! With a touch, from From place to place faster than an eagle!"

Xiao Wu held his chin, rolled his dead fish eyes, and stared at the spitting storyteller in the crowd, surrounded by a group of bored people eager for knowledge.

She switched hands, thinking, whose story is not fascinating?If a person's whole life can be sorted out and written down, it is probably thicker than the history books of all dynasties combined, and it is definitely more interesting than that exaggerated Xianqi.

However, apart from those deified unrivaled heroes and demonized sinners, who would spend a lot of time listening to another person's life?

A pot of tea was placed in front of Xiao Wu, she was stunned for a moment, then straightened up and said, "Boss, I didn't want tea."

The boss is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a sallow and emaciated complexion typical of a businessman running around, but he doesn't look like a serious man who has settled down in one place and opened a teahouse.Xiao Wu frowned the first time she saw him, the boss's smiling eyes reminded her of someone.

"This is a gift." He sat down on the other side, his half-smiled eyes narrowed his fine lines, poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Xiao Wu, "No matter how amazing Xian Qi is, it's also a place where people live. Since they are all human, the difference is actually not that big. Little girl, I really like your indifference."

Little Five: "..."

She hesitated for a while, then quietly looked into the boss's eyes, while drinking the tea, smacked her lips, and asked tentatively, "Boss, do you have a younger sister?"

The boss was stunned.

"I've met a teahouse owner before, who has very similar eyes to yours. It's in the right alley of West Street, and next to it is a very delicious wonton shop. But she doesn't know where she is now."

Yuan Chang made a wonderful and deep impression on her. She has never convinced a few people since she was a child, only Yuan Chang was the only one she felt awe from the bottom of her heart when she first saw it.

"That's really fate. But my family is a single heir for nine generations, and my father is also very honest, so he probably didn't sow seeds elsewhere."

Xiao Wu was not amused by his serious teasing.It's quite normal for people to have similarities, and it's a good fate to say the least.

Just as she turned her head, a man dressed as a servant came over to her with his head bowed and said, "Miss, Old Fengzi is back."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu said "oh", took out two copper coins from his body and put them on the table, said "tea is delicious", and left with others.

The old Feng Zi mentioned by the servant is the best old tailor in Yudu.The day after tomorrow is the day when the women's official exams start, Yu Renshu specially asks Old Feng Zi to make two new clothes for Xiao Wu.

Old Feng Zi was very busy with business, and was left to eat a meal at Sun Yuan's house in the morning, and was delayed when he came back. Xiao Wu went to a nearby teahouse to sit for a while, so the teahouse owner called him "disregarding".In fact, she just got tired of hearing too much.

Xiao Wu froze in place, it was rare for her to be the eldest lady, and she was quite uncomfortable to let a group of people wait and measure here and there.Although no one had treated her badly before, they hadn't treated her so delicately before, and she was a little uncomfortable.

The size of the clothes had been delivered before, and Yu Renshu was afraid that she would get fat or thin in the past few days and would not feel comfortable wearing them, so she changed them again. After all, it was a very important exam.

Old Fengzi counted the squares on the cloth ruler, "The waist is two points narrower," he turned around and marked it, and asked, "Miss Fang's name?"

Xiao Wu said bluntly, "Xuanhe." After speaking, he added, "Hemerocallis's day lily, lotus's lotus."

"Okay," the old tailor agreed, moving the needle and thread with his nimble hands, and the word "Xuanhe" on the neckline immediately appeared.

Xiao Wu looked at this man with extreme ingenuity and handiness in amazement, swallowed unconsciously, and quietly clenched his callused hands.

After a while, the clothes changed.Old Fengzi asked her to try.

A group of people changed her clothes, and Xiao Wu felt uncomfortable all over.

She stretched her arms and put on the robe, rubbed her fingertips on the part where her name was embroidered when twisting the skirt, and raised her hand to let down the hair that was standing upright or coiled all the year round.

Generally, young girls are good-looking. Xiaowu doesn't have particularly delicate facial features, but the matching of eyebrows and nose is quite pleasing to the eye, and she has a very healthy complexion after practicing martial arts all year round.On the whole, except for a little more energy than ordinary women, there is no difference.

Old Fengzi wiped his eyes. The moment he saw the girl's hair down just now, something seemed to have changed.

Xiao Wu raised his arms and walked around the house for a few times. He felt that everything was fine, so he casually praised the clothes and led them back home.

……

On the eve of the first exam after the new emperor's ascension to the throne and the reform, another round of exams at Dingji Pavilion is in full swing.

Compared with the previous one, all aspects of this assessment are much more satisfying.Yu Bichu assigned a new screener, and let Xu Musirui sit in the background, so that he could stand at the forefront of the storm and be criticized by others.

"Did you tell them the number of people who requested to be deleted this time?" Yu Bi, who was worried about the world's parents, came out and asked the person.

"I've explained everything clearly," the visitor replied honestly, "but Mr. Xu said it depends on the situation, and he definitely doesn't want to force people."

Yu Bi nodded, as long as they don't mess around like last time, it's okay to recruit ten more people, and this request is beyond reproach.

When the people in the hall retreated, troubles came one after another.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xu Rin's encrypted notes."

Encrypted notebooks are directly handed over to the emperor without being reviewed by the subordinates. Usually, only senior officials of the third rank and above are eligible to submit directly.

Yu Bi read it with a sullen face, and slapped the booklet on the dragon case.

Yu Jiao bowed her head carefully.

This note is about the plot of Xiu Youkang's attempt to rebel.

Not long after that day, someone came to look for Xu Jingru again.Somehow, Xu Youkang had calculated that Xu Jingru would agree to join the group, so he directly sent his own son——Xu Zhengming.

Hu Zhengming has been useless for 20 years, and he has never talked to a third-rank official so confidently. When his father asked him to go to Xu Jingru, his voice trembling when he agreed.As for why his father and Rong Gu were in the same boat, he didn't care.

He just needs an acknowledgment.

According to Xu Lin's attitude, Xu Jingru practiced Tai Chi ambiguously for a while, and then hesitantly agreed to the request of the person behind Jianxiu Zhengming.

For the next period of time, it has been very smooth.

Xu Jingru's indifferent and true attitude made Xi Youkang feel very secure. In addition, he was cautious, talked less and did things reliably, which made him even more pleasing.

Yu Bichu looked at the sudden emptiness in the Ministry of Rites, and sneered, Su Youkang's self-conceited scheming and Xu Lin's self-conceited cleverness were not the same, neither of them might be able to defeat the other.

He leaned on and thought for a while, then threw the secret package to Yu Jiao.

"Pass this on, there are no witnesses and no evidence, and the Chu family will be copied."

Yu Jiao ran out in panic and non-stop to deliver the order.This is Yu Bi's first clear intention to cut off the main line of the gentry.

Misfortune is not a long-term brewing of vicissitudes of life, but an instant outbreak of discomfort that has been lingering for a long time, which catches people off guard and frightens them.

The fact that the entire Chu family was ransacked immediately alarmed the entire court, but no one dared to say a word.They have been frightened by the emperor's despicable and shameless means.

However, fear is just a calm face.Inside the peaceful exterior, there is still an undercurrent surging.

Da Qiao asked people to return a bunch of good gifts, went to the conscription and military conscription site, and went back to the room to find the papers by pressing his right eyelid that was jumping non-stop.

When Xiao Yunqi entered the room, he was taken aback by his covered eyelids, "My lord, what are you doing?"

Due to external constraints, Da Qiao raised one eyelid with great difficulty, and said in a spirited voice, "The catastrophe is coming, so take precautions before it happens."

Xiao Yunqi: "..."

He really didn't know what to do with this grown-up who was always thinking about it, and said seriously: "When I came, I saw a group of people blocking the side door. It seems that the clothes are servants from different families. Did you drive them out?"

"They were never allowed in at all." He pasted back the slip of paper that was falling down in the blink of an eye, his eyelashes fluttering as he pasted it, panicked.

Xiao Yunqi thought that he was already very upright, but he didn't expect that there would be someone more reckless than him, so he was speechless for a while.

"Then do you really plan to continue like this? Even if you don't make allowances, those high-ranking officials must have a way to prevent their children from being sent in."

The upright Da Qiao didn't even raise his eyes, and said according to the script: "I am following the order." If you have the ability, let them find Yu Bi and go out.

Xiao Yunqi remained silent. He originally wanted to get a backdoor for his younger brother who had just grown up, but now it seems hopeless.He didn't pretend to resent the emperor's rebellious thoughts in his well-regulated mind, and he felt that it was justifiable for Da Qiao to "act according to the order".But I just feel uncomfortable in my heart. How can there be things in the world that I can't solve?
