Chapter 215 I Don't Know

Although Xiaobao is in good spirits today, she couldn't help Gu Xiyue's listlessness. She casually flipped through the notebook in her hand, and it was nothing more than a show where a noble girl fell in love with a poor scholar.

What kind of honorable daughter of the prime minister, even for the sake of a scholar, she would not hesitate to give up her own glory and wealth, but she also wanted to marry the scholar in sackcloth and go back to her hometown to farm.

Gu Xiyue couldn't help but sneered as she watched, "It's really something poor scholars can write, love and love are just to satisfy their imaginations, it's really embarrassing."

If it was just love, Gu Xiyue wouldn't despise it like this, the main reason is that there is a lot of love in it.

For example, a noble girl from a noble family who has not left the cabinet, in order to make a private life with a scholar, regardless of etiquette, justice, and shame, insists on having a good time with him and cooking cooked rice.

Gu Xiyue squinted her eyes, these people are really full of certain colors of paint.

Su Tao on the side stuffed the melon seeds in his hand into Xiaobao's mouth, then looked at Gu Xiyue curiously and asked.

"Why did the princess say that? Could it be that there was something written in this book that made the princess so disdainful?"

Gu Xiyue casually turned another page, and explained to Su Tao, "As the prime minister's daughter, but fell in love with a poor and poor scholar, and followed him back to his hometown to endure hardships, do you think it's true? ?”

Hearing what Gu Xiyue said, Su Tao blinked and smiled, "Princess, there really is such a thing, but the concubine doesn't know about it."

Looking at Su Tao's expression and what she said, it is obvious that she knows some gossip.

When Gu Xiyue heard that there might be gossip, she immediately sat up straight and looked at her with interest.

"Oh? What do you mean by that?"

Originally, being a carriage was boring enough, but now that there are gossips to listen to, Gu Xiyue is extremely happy.

Su Tao clapped her hands and said, "The princess doesn't know something. This month, the maidservant overheard a little sister say that the daughter of Mr. Beijing Zhongwen met a scholar. For the sake of that scholar, she has to sever her mother-daughter relationship with Mr. Wen." .”

"Master Wen?"

"Master Wen on the east side of the capital is a civil official of the fourth grade. His daughter is Wen Jing, who is also beautiful and lovely. She doesn't like to show her face on weekdays, but the slaves have the chance to meet her a few times."

With Su Tao's reminder, Gu Xiyue immediately remembered this person. She had heard about her by accident at Princess Rongle's banquet last time, but she didn't have much impression of her.

Unexpectedly, this girl was so stubborn that she wanted to sever ties with her own father and go back to farm with a poor scholar.

Gu Xiyue was aroused by the interest and quickly pulled Su Tao to ask, "And then? Is Miss Wen born with this poor scholar?"

Su Tao nodded, "Of course it's done, but she's leaving the house. Originally, Miss Wen was going to participate in the draft this year, but now she can only give up, but Master Wen has more than one daughter. Although the second Miss Wen is a concubine, But it’s probably not that far off.”

"Draft?"

Gu Xiyue almost forgot about this matter, Ye Chao has a rule of drafting every three years, all officials and ladies who are sixteen to eighteen must participate in the draft.

And every year there is a small election, which is to select the maids to enter the palace.

It just so happens that this fall is the draft, which is almost scheduled for October.

Now that neither the crown prince nor the third prince has married a wife, I am afraid that this draft is basically prepared for these two.

Ye Wushang's health was too bad, I'm afraid Concubine Miao would not allow the Sai people to come in, Gu Xiyue raised her eyebrows.

Su Tao said to Gu Xiyue, "Yes, the draft, I heard that this draft is for the crown prince and the third prince, and I don't know who the crown princess will come from."

It just so happens that Gu Qingshuang is going to participate in this draft this year, and Gu Xiyue is looking forward to this draft.

Now the harem is in the hands of Concubine Miao.This draft must be presided over by Concubine Miao, and as Princess Ye, if I can return to the capital by then, I should be able to watch the big scene of this draft.

Gu Xiyue was really looking forward to it.

At this time, Gu Xiyue heard Su Tao say again, "I heard that the only granddaughter of General Zhen Guo who is far away in the borderlands will also participate in the draft this time."

There was only one General Zhen Guo in the Ye Dynasty, and the whole family died fighting against foreign enemies. Hearing that a baby girl was left behind that year, Emperor Ye was moved by the General Zhen Guo's sacrifice for the country.

The baby girl had been kept in the frontier, that is, her grandfather's house. Once Ye Di joked with the dead General Zhen Guo that if his daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter, he would definitely make her his daughter-in-law.

It's just that others thought it was what Ye Di said on a whim, and they couldn't take it seriously, but it was obvious that it really came from Ye Di's mouth.

Gu Xiyue suddenly laughed, "This is really lively. Gu Qingshuang is going to participate in this draft, and Wei Liangyu, a girl from Siquan, Duke of Wei's mansion, is also going to participate in the draft. Now there is another granddaughter of General Zhen Guo."

"Tsk tsk tsk, three women in one drama, when the time comes, this drama will be really wonderful."

I'm afraid that if Gu Qingshuang wants to be a princess, it's really impossible, so just for the granddaughter of General Zhen Guo, it's enough for Gu Qingshuang and Wei Liangyu to have a good drink.

Not to mention that there are other girls in the capital, but they all want to become the princess, and follow the prince to become the mother of a country in the future.

Su Tao thought for a while and said excitedly, "According to what Wang Hao said, this draft must be very exciting. There are so many young ladies from honorable families. Don't they want to fight for the crown princess?"

Gu Xiyue smiled and nodded slightly.

Just when Su Tao was about to say something more, Xiao Bao tugged at the hem of her skirt and said in a milky voice.

"Sister Su Tao, Xiaobao wants to eat walnuts."

Su Tao looked at Xiaobao's cute little face, and quickly took out a walnut and a small hammer.

Gu Xiyue raised the window curtain of the car on the side and looked out, unexpectedly saw a group of sparrows flying by, today the sun is bright and the wind is beautiful, suddenly the sun dazzled her eyes, and she didn't feel tired anymore.

I don't know if it was because I was dazzled by the beautiful scenery, or because I was attracted by the draft just mentioned, anyway, Gu Xiyue didn't feel tired at all.

Soon they arrived at the next landing place. They had just arranged to rest, but they didn't expect a woman to rush in front of the officers and soldiers in a mess.

That woman looked pretty at best, but she seemed to have encountered some accident, and her face was full of tears, which was very pitiful.

"I beg you, my lord, save the little girl!"

She looked extremely frightened. Although the officers and soldiers looked vigilant, they still told General Wu and Master Zhou.

In the end, according to the difference between men and women, the woman was brought in front of Gu Xiyue.

Gu Xiyue looked at the woman and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why did you ask us to save you?"

The woman wept and began to tell her story.

"The little girl's name is Xiu'e, and she lives in Qingfeng Village in front of her. Her parents are still alive, and she has an elder brother who is married. On weekdays, the little girl will make some handmade things, and then bring them to the town to exchange for money."

"Today, the little girl went to the town as usual, but she didn't expect to be followed by someone with a heart. The little girl was afraid of seeing officers and soldiers here, so she ran over to ask for help."
