Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 419, Courtship Arena

Chai Zhi and Biyun despised Feng's behind their backs, and that was the only way they could do it. The two continued to help knead the fabrics. The princess's old clothes and Yun Zhan's old clothes were placed in ordinary people's homes, and children from ten or twenty families also It is enough to wear, but this is the mansion of the Huguogong and the princess, it is not uncommon to prepare hundreds of sets of clothes for newborns.

In front of Yuan Xiu, the mother who is in charge of the clothes is now answering. She sent ten boxes of Yuan Hui's new autumn clothes, which is enough for sister Hui to change a set a day in autumn. If autumn is short, sister Hui can change a few sets a day to wear it once.

Mrs. Li is very willing for her daughter to pick up Sister Hui's clothes to wear, but it is a pity that she comes from a poor family.Autumn clothes can be called spring and autumn clothes, and you can wear them in spring, but at the age of sister Hui, although the clothes of this dynasty are loose, you may not be able to wear them next spring. Sister Ting can pick up clothes happily and wear them.

Yuan Xiu was born in a well-to-do family, and she didn't forget her roots when she handled millions of dollars as a housekeeper, and it was a pity to look at it. When the princess's house made clothes for Yuan Hui, Yuan Xiu sometimes didn't make clothes for her younger sister. Often the princess ordered her to make some too, and Yuan Xiu obeyed her mother-in-law's order to make two boxes for her younger sister.

Among the ten boxes sent today, there is no Duke Huguo's Mansion, six boxes are from the Princess' Mansion, two boxes are from Su Wang's Mansion, and two boxes are from Jincheng County Prince's Mansion.

If Sister Ting doesn't pick up and wear them, the clothes will become smaller when Sister Ting grows up in a blink of an eye.

There is also a little Shao's daughter in Xinji Town, who also picks up clothes to wear.

Yuanxiu took the ten boxes of clothes and asked Huang Ying to pack up Yuanhui's old clothes from the year before last and last year. Some of them were kept for thought, and some were given to Sister Ting and Xiao Shao's daughter.

Yanyan remembered the joke of Li's natal sister-in-law, when she saw Yuan Hui's old clothes brought out, she helped sort them out, and said with a smile: "This clothes should be sold cheap."

Yuan Xiu smiled.

The two of them envied the embroiderers on the clothes again. They each had a needle and thread at hand, and slowly made a few stitches, which were children's bellybands.

Next, Shu Laibao didn't say anything that he could understand while drooling in his mouth. When he said it by surprise, no one thought that Yun Zhan's main thoughts were on his wife, and asking Yanyan how she was was just incidentally, and more I didn't pay attention to the ten-month-old child who can talk.

Yanyan and Yuanxiu both thought on the second and third day that they wanted Shu Laibao to say a few more words in order to understand the children, but even if they teased Shu Laibao, he couldn't say anything.

It is impossible to count on Yun Zhan to hold him these days, General Zhen Guo has left Beijing again.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival in the Northwest Camp was more joyous than in previous years. General Quan San walked out of the tent, put his hand on his forehead, looked at the ring that had been cleaned up and looked brand new, and greeted the lieutenant general: "Order troops, except those who are on duty, go to give Master Qi cheers."

The king of Pingxi County will have a double happiness this year, and the princess of the county is pregnant with a pearl. After the eldest son gets married, her daughter is about to get married. She is happy.

At the beginning of the year, Youxi, who knew she was pregnant earlier than Yanyan, was worried that she would ignore her daughter's marriage after giving birth.

What she asked was before the Dragon Boat Festival, but considering the difficulties of King Pingxi, he summoned the young generals who proposed to marry him from all over the place, because some of them were on the battlefield and it would take a while, so they returned to the camp on the Mid-Autumn Festival , Eat moon cakes together, fight in the arena together, and choose a son-in-law from them.

Therefore, Qi Yue also had to go to the ring.

General Quan San led people to the ring and sat with Yuan Yuan.Yuan Yuan heard the news that the Mid-Autumn Festival was also celebrated in Daying, so he was leisurely, and Hua Tianyu dispatched several times in the first half of the year to patrol the hills around Guxi, killing possible banditry in the second half of the year in advance.

If there is an enemy situation suddenly, it is not within the scope of Hua Tianyu's killing. Hua Tianyu's killing is the people in the northwest who may grab things in the autumn.

Some banditry in the Northwest came from local people, those with solid evidence must be prosecuted, and those with vague evidence were beaten by Hua Tianyu.

The election of the county head's son-in-law is a big event, even if Yuan Yuan didn't show up as Qi Yue's elder, Hua Tianyu wanted to join in the fun.

When the Third General Quan and Yuan Yuan greeted each other, Hua Tianyu sat next to Yuan Yuan and greeted each other.

Daying considered Quan San's territory, Quan San was very polite, and Hua Tianyu was not polite to him, he just ordered him to eat and drink.

Hua Tianyu knew that it was impossible for Quan San not to give it. With Qi Yue's light, General Quan San came up along the pole. After Qi Yue's wine was all returned to the county lord, can General Quan San agree?
He couldn't grab the county master, so he made a special trip to Guxi, and said something in front of Yuan Yuan. After that, every time he went to Beijing, there was another two hundred catties of wine in the car for the third general Quan Quan. , except for the wine for the county head.

Qi Yue's glory, the third general Quan Quan is sure, so his reception today should be correct.

There were shouts from around the arena, and the young generals who had started the competition in three days, decided the winner again. The losers came down angrily, and there were red-eyed and even crying people. .

Qi Yue was eager to try: "I don't have it, I can go up."

Sitting next to Yuan Yuan were Hou Ping and Yun Fei. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival gifts were delivered late, and they were only delivered more than ten days in advance. After they were delivered to Guxi City, they brought a carriage that was also full on the return journey, and accompanied Yuan Yuan to the camp. It's not too late to leave after helping Qi Yue get engaged.

Qi Yue became more and more confident. The only disappointment was that Yuan Yuan didn't allow him to take the stage in the morning, and kept him waiting. No one will be polite to the inland civil servants that the Lord likes.

Qi Yue was in a hurry: "Uncle, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Others have fought for several rounds. If I don't fight again, I'm afraid I won't have a chance."

As soon as the words fell, someone knocked on the gong and yelled: "The king of the county has an order, stay where you are, and welcome the general of the town."

The second sentence is: "General Zhen Guo has an order to stay where he is, and there is no need to salute."

Qi Yue's eyes lit up in liking: "Uncle,"

Yuan Yuan gave him a wink, Qi Yue swallowed the rest of the words, and turned his head to look at the gate of the camp together with everyone. After watching the camp for half an hour, he saw a group of people galloping majestically.

Dozens of people surrounded the three brothers of Pingxi County King, the eldest son and county lord Tang Tiexue, and dozens of people surrounded Yun Zhan. Under the ring, everyone dismounted. Pingxi County King is the master, and politely asked Yun Zhan to go first.

Yun Zhan and a man in black who appeared behind him were not polite. They walked side by side first. Some people stayed below the ring, and a dozen others followed closely. Only one person was gentle and the rest were mighty. Like a god.

Quan San and Hua Tianyu were unconvinced together: "He is really impolite, he really walked in front of the county king. Hey, who is the other person? He is actually standing shoulder to shoulder with General Zhen Guo."

Qi Yue and Yun Fei said together: "Minister of the Ministry of Punishment Gao Mingying."

Quan San smiled complacently: "Master Qi is from Beijing, and knows many people." Quan San already regarded Qi Yue as a person from the northwest, and felt proud.

Hua Tianyu was also impressed: "Isn't Mr. Jingli in Beijing? Butler Fei knows many people."

Qi Yue wondered if Steward Fei didn't know him?Brother Yue also met Gao Mingying while having a drink at Duke Huguo's mansion.

Yunfei thought to himself, can I not know him?On the stage is my master, Gao Shangshu often goes in and out of his study.

After King Pingxi came to the stage, Yun Zhan walked to the entrance of the stage. Some people in the audience talked about his short stature, but when he saw his eyes sweeping in all directions, the fierce look could reach far away, everyone around could see it, and the talk gradually died down. .

Yun Zhan clasped his fists in both hands, raised his breath, and said in a loud voice: "I have heard for a long time that you are good men in the Northwest, I salute you, General Zhen Yun Zhan is very polite here."

He bowed deeply.

Prince Pingxi stood up, clasped his fists in both hands, straightened up, and shouted like a thunderclap: "Repay the gift."

The audience stood up in unison in the swishing sound, and returned the salute with fists together like the king of Pingxi County.

Qi Yue couldn't help leaning into Yuan Yuan's ear: "Uncle, the son knows you are here." Combining with what he said just now that there is no need to salute, Shizi Yun knows that his father-in-law is under the stage.

Yuan Yuan smiled: "Of course." He was caught in the crowd and returned the salute with fists.

Gao Mingying also came up, also full of spirit: "Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Gao Mingying, I have met a good man from the Northwest, and I am very polite."

The third person who came up was a middle-aged man with a gentle figure. He was also dressed in casual clothes like Yun Zhan Gao Mingying, and he reported his name: "Hehe, I don't have a high voice. Biography. Zhu Huai, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, has met a good man from the Northwest, and he is very polite."

He also clasped his fists.

Just like Yun Zhan and Gao Mingying, Prince Pingxi yelled and returned the salute, Zhu Huai covered his ears with both hands: "Hehe, what a loud noise."

Quan San sneered in the audience: "The inland civil servants are so fucking ashamed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Huai was grinning on the stage: "But I have the guts. I heard that my inland civil servant, Mr. Qi Yue, participated in the selection of the county head's son-in-law. I am here to propose marriage for him. Hehe, I am an official. The official is quite good."

Quan San immediately shut up.

Hua Tianyu said: "Damn, this one came here to open another arena. I can't count how many officials the county king has expelled from the official department in these years."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Huai smiled on the stage: "For example, Mr. Yuan Yuan in Guxi City is the best official in our official department, and my official department gave it away."

The audience was completely silent, and the whispers that came out at the same time as Quan San and Hua Tianyu stopped immediately, and Hua Tianyu also shut up tightly.

In the past few years, there are too many people who have eaten and drank the uncle's ceremony in Yuanyuanjing.At this moment, everyone remembered that Mr. Yuan Yuan was the first inland civil servant to stay in the Northwest for a long time.

Zhu Huai was very happy. It wasn't ten or eight years that the bureaucracy suffered in the Northwest. It was calculated according to the previous emperors. Generation after generation, today's breath is very happy.

He waved down: "Master Qi, please come up."

Qi Yue jumped up happily: "I'm worried that there are too many suitors and I won't be able to fight. It's great that the adults are here." After finishing speaking, he thought of seeing the ceremony.

Zhu Huaila got him up: "General Zhen Guo has an order. You don't need to salute today. Mr. Qi is here. I will introduce you and make a marriage proposal for you. I specially invited General Zhen Guo and Gao Shangshu. Hehe, this is the Ministry of Officials. The big thing, hehe, it must be done today.”

Qi Yue knew in his heart that even if the officials wanted to vent their anger, the inland civil servants would not dare to come here without Prince Yun's words, and it was never clear why scholars met soldiers. This should be the idea initiated by Prince Yun.

Qi Yue grinned and bowed, even though he was impolite, he had to be polite.

Yun Zhan and Gao Mingying clasped their fists at him.

Zhu Huai also introduced: "Come on, General Zhen Guo brought twelve generals. Here, this general is General Chen, the left servant of the Ministry of War. Hehe, although he has never been to the Northwest, he was promoted to Beijing after a bloody battle."

The three brothers of Prince Pingxi only heard his name, and they saw him for the first time today, and they looked over together.

The Prince of Pingxi had a headache, why Qi Yue begged him to have a headache, and Yun Zhan showed his power, the Prince of the County, the local emperor, couldn't afford to offend him.

There are 36 generals under the king of the county, but there are also twelve generals who are famous all over the country under the command of Duke Huguo.Two of them were born as family generals, and the other ten were promoted when the father and son of the Huguogong repeatedly came to help. General Chen was the year Yun Zhan was promoted to the Ministry of War just when he became the general of the town. Since then, he has been the Huguogong The government's private generals are average.

Tang Ze is a rare emperor, he gave enough trust to the royal family, and the official affairs of the six departments were divided between the Duke Huguo's mansion and the five royal mansions except King Su.

What is divided is only official business.

The Liujia County Prince's Mansion does not help any department's official business on a fixed basis, and can be transferred at any time according to the situation, but they want to control the six departments.

Yun Zhan brought all his confidants here, which meant that Li Wei vented his personal anger today, and he could still hear some of the Northwest scolding him every day.

Zhu Huai introduced the resumes and names of the generals one by one. The faces of the three Pingxi Prince brothers became more and more serious, but the brothers and sisters of the eldest son suddenly became very funny. I'm worried that he won't be able to compete in today's ring, so I can rest assured this time."

Tang Tiexue curled her lips: "What did brother say? Do you think he is your brother-in-law?"

The prince smiled and said: "The younger sister decides who the brother-in-law is, and the father and uncles decide. How dare I decide in advance. But I can see that my younger sister never tires of Qi Yue, and my father wants him to support him in the courtship ring for a while. Personally order our 36 generals to find an opportunity to teach Qi Yue. Otherwise, do you think our general has such shallow eyelids? Teach him for a few catties of tribute wine?"

Tang Tiexue, who occupied Qi Yue's drink, still curled her lips: "The generals have shallow eyes, because the wine is really good." She was stunned for a moment: "Is it tribute wine?"

The prince smiled lowly: "Yes, didn't you drink it? There is also tribute wine at home, and you can drink it as you like, right?"

Tang Tiexue was still confused: "Qi Yue's wine comes from Mr. Yuan Yuan, and Mr. Yuan's son-in-law is in Beijing, but this is not the reason why he can get the tribute wine. Unless the tribute wine is in the place of origin, it is not sold."

Tang Tiecheng, the prince of Pingxi County, said with a smile: "Sister, look, that person under the stage is Mr. Yuan Yuan."

Tang Tiesue said: "I still recognize the person who gave me wine for free."

Tang Tiecheng turned his gaze back to the arena: "That one is Mr. Yuan's Uncle Jingli."

Tang Tiexue followed his elder brother's gaze, and it fell on Yun Zhan, who was sitting high in the middle, impartially.Tang Tiexue covered her hands and exclaimed, "My God, how could it be him!"
