Chapter 892: The Draft


Xiao Jiuhua, the mountain is 100 zhang high, and it is 15 miles around.

Therefore, the mountains and mountains are beautiful, similar to Qingyang Jiuhua Mountain a hundred miles away, so people call it "Little Jiuhua".

Xiao Jiuhua is also called Wangfu Mountain, because there is a strange stone on its mountain, about one person is high, quite like a human shape, engraved with three words of Wangfu stone, one foot six inches larger, like a seal, I don't know which dynasty and which generation originated.

Legend has it that the Jizo King Bodhisattva once practiced here, so there is a Jizo King Hall built in the mountain, which is magnificent.

For thousands of years, every fifteenth day of the first lunar month and the thirtieth day of July, there has been an endless stream of incense worshippers.

At this moment, it is not the season to enter the incense, there are not many tourists in the mountains, it is very quiet, Xia Xun's family is just where it is, browse in the mountains to your heart's content, enjoy the magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers.

Xia Xun did not state his identity to the host of the temple, and after donating a sum of sesame oil, he refused to be accompanied by the monk of the guest, and the family traveled freely in the mountains.

This small Jiuhua abruptly riverside, a peak of jade, the mountains are flourishing, there are hares, hedgehogs, cuckoos, woodpeckers and all kinds of wild things in the mountains, very quiet and quiet.

When it was getting late, when he was about to return, there were suddenly a few fast horses galloping outside the mountain, Xia Xun thought that there were tourists who came to the mountain to take a look, but the guards in front of him greeted him, and the two sides answered each other, and they actually attracted themselves, and Dingqing looked at it, only to recognize that it was Xu Jiang.

Xia Xun led Xu Jiang to a small pavilion, and Xu Jiang quietly explained to him the news that Xie Jin was relocated to Annan, Xia Xun was suddenly shocked, this is not a good sign, the emperor's mind is unpredictable.

Sometimes, it is degraded again and again, in fact, just to give a signal to the Manchu civil and military forces, signaling them to continue to impeach, and when the momentum is enough and the evidence is innumerable, the butcher's knife will be cut down.

Xia Xun asked nervously, "Why did the emperor change his mind?"

Xu Jiang said: "Master Xie made a complaining song on the way, and there were some stubborn words, not to mention the protection of the people who sent him to Guangxi, there were other people's eyes and ears, and I don't know who reported to the emperor to know, the emperor was furious, so he was reappointed as Annan." ” Xia Xun immediately relieved when he heard this, as long as the emperor didn't take the initiative to signal, then he didn't have the heart to kill him, even if he was relegated to the edge of the sky, as long as people lived, there was always room for maneuver.

He was stunned for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "Xie Jin's broken mouth, don't you know the lesson?"

Xu Jiang also smiled bitterly: "Guogong, the place in Annan, here today, tomorrow and there, there are constant thieves, gunsmoke everywhere, Xie University scholar is there, will it?"

Xia Xun shook his head and said: "It's okay, Xie Jin is a person who has been a scholar of the first auxiliary university, if he has something in Annan, the face of the court must not look good."

Therefore, even if Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng don't take him seriously, they have to settle him properly, and they definitely won't let him have an accident. ” Xia Xun sighed and said, "You go back first, I'll stay here for a while." ” Speaking of this, Xia Xun lowered his voice and said, "Regarding Chen Ying's every move, keep an eye on me."

Xu Jiang nodded, said goodbye to Xia Xun, pulled the saddle and got on the horse, led a few subordinates, and galloped away.

Xia Xun rode on a horse, and a group of women and children took six carriages, and slowly rushed back to the courtyard under Cimu Mountain under the protection of their families and guards.

Halfway through, I suddenly saw a blowing and blowing in front of me, and a team of relatives came over.

The guards wanted to step forward and ask the other party to give way, but Xia Xun stopped him in time, Xia Xun smiled and said: "Marriage is a major event in a person's life, come, drive our car to the side of the road and make way for them." ” The guards obeyed the order and got out of the way, and the family who got married didn't know who he was, and they passed all the way, Xia Xun and Ming'er looked side by side at the groom who was wearing a new dress and wearing red colors, and smiled and pointed out.

Waiting for the marriage team to pass, the car drove back to the road and continued to walk forward, not more than five miles, and saw a welcoming team, Xia Xun couldn't help but smile at Ming'er: "We haven't seen it when we came out, I don't know what zodiac auspicious it is today, there are so many people getting married." ” Before the words were over, there was another welcoming team that picked up the bride from the fork in the road, two welcoming teams, plus Xia Xun's convoy, blocked a road to the brim, and it took a long time for the two welcoming teams to stagger, and Xia Xun's family had to go on the road.

The adults felt a little irritated, only the children found it interesting, and they were all interested.

Xia Xun saw Ming'er leaning on the window railing and looking out of the window, so he gently held her hand and asked softly: "Why, seeing someone else get married, I touched the scene and fell in love."

Ming'er smiled back at him and said, "Besides, that day from morning to night, all kinds of rituals are so complicated, people are about to toss and fall apart, who wants to remember it I happened to see that mountain peak and didn't feel it, you see what it looks like." ” Xia Xun looked over, looked left and right, looked up and down, and looked at it for a long time before he hesitated: "Well, it's like a blue snail."

Ming'er glanced at him, and Yang Huaiyuan, who was sitting between the two of them, looked around, and quickly got up and said, "I'll take a look, I'll see" He had two bare feet, one foot on his father's thigh, one foot on his mother's thigh, arching forward, Xia Xun was busy supporting his waist behind, Yang Huaiyuan drilled his head out of the window, looked at it carefully for a long time, grinned, drooled and said: "Mother, that mountain is like a big turtle" Ming'er rolled her eyes helplessly, and said angrily: "I'll let you two die of anger sooner or later."

Xia Xun said depressedly: "Then what do you say it looks like?"

Ming'er glanced at him, a touch of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and said softly: "Look at that mountain, it doesn't look like the mountain that was hunted in Yanshan in the past, when you and I met."

Xia Xun hurriedly looked again, but only saw his son's smooth little buttocks stuck in the window, Xia Xun touched his nose and said in a uh-huh: "Well, like, it's really like" "Hmph, you just can't help it," Ming'er glanced at him again.

At this time, Yang Huaiyuan retracted his head and said happily: "Father, mother, those people who got married just now are back with a trumpet."

"Hmm" Xia Xun was stunned, and went out to take a look, it turned out that there was another team of relatives, and the people who became relatives were all dressed in red and hung colors, blowing and blowing, and the children could tell the difference, but the greeting team that had just walked over came back.

Xia Xun shrank back and smiled at Ming'er: "Today must be an extremely rare zodiac auspicious day, many families are married." ” Xia Xun didn't know that at this moment, with Jinling City as the center, all the people who were well-informed and got the news in advance were already in a hurry to marry their daughters, especially those who had already had a marriage contract, but the children were still too young and had not yet married, and they were in a hurry.

Because they have already received the news that the emperor is going to draft a draft girl.

In Moling Town, a eunuch, a brocade guard, and an official of Ying Tianfu, like three fierce gods, sat in the room, and from time to time picked up a teacup to drink two sips.

Yang Lijie, the mayor of Moling Town, held the household registration book, flipped through it in a hurry, dipped in a mouthful of saliva from time to time and then went to flip through it, there was an abacus next to him, Yang Lijie flipped through the household registration book, and from time to time he dialed the abacus beads, crackled, and added a number.

After a long time, Yang Lijie closed the book, took a breath, got up and smiled at the three of them: "Three Shangguan, the villain has been found out, there are 227 households in this town, 1,628 people, including 212 women between the ages of 13 and 16 who have not yet married. ” "Hmm" Ying Tianfu's official glared at him and said: "This number doesn't seem right, how can it not match the list in the mansion Yang Lijie, don't fool me, this is the court draft, choose a woman for the emperor, do you know if you dare to cheat, hum, don't forget how your second uncle died" Yang Lijie did have a little heart, he hid ten places, in order to make it easier for his relatives and friends.

Don't look at the intimidation of the officials of Ying Tianfu, the officials do errands, and they always have to get some benefits for themselves, how can the emperor's knife be so easy to cut on the head of his world-wide small people.

But this attitude still has to be had, Yang Lijie immediately looked panicked, and said continuously: "How dare the villain, how dare the villain, there are really only two hundred and twelve people, and it is not a secret, the daughters of several families have become relatives, but it has not yet been recorded, and the villain can't fool the emperor with a woman who has become a parent."

The eunuch snorted heavily, stood up, and said, "Two hundred and fifteen people will not be able to do it without one."

When Yang Lijie heard this, he immediately cried and grabbed the ground: "Shangguan Kaig, it's really not possible, even if the villain is alive, he won't have time to gather so many people."

The captain of Jinyiwei slapped him in the face and scolded: "The bastard should select 100,000 people from the entire Ying Tianfu, and 100,000 people will be selected by the local government, and then 20,000 people will be selected to go to Beijing, and after arriving in Beijing, they will be screened again, and only after the three elections can 1,400 people be selected, and these 1,400 people will enter the palace, and they will be observed by a special person for another month, and 400 people will be eliminated, and finally only 800 people will be selected to be show girls for the emperor."

Is it that easy for you to do things?"

He smiled coldly, and said gloomily: "Don't play tricks with Lao Tzu, this matter is presided over by Lord Jinyi Wei Ji, if anyone dares to play tricks, we Lord Ji's methods, we should have heard of it, three days later, let's take people to let's go."

The three of them stacked the teacups and walked out swaggeringly, Yang Lijie covered his face, nodded and sent them out, standing at the door in a daze.

"In charge, in charge," his mother-in-law cautiously followed, gently tugging at his sleeve.

Yang Lijie was clever and said: "Quick, quick, immediately ask our daughter to clean up and get married immediately."

His mother-in-law was stunned and said: "In charge, our daughter has just turned thirteen, and she hasn't allowed anyone yet, who will she marry?"

Yang Lijie glared and said: "I can't get married yet, why don't I find a family for her, and I will get married tomorrow."

He walked away, and just took two steps, he suddenly stopped again, turned his head, and told his mother-in-law through gritted teeth: "You give me a tighter mouth, don't leak the slightest breath" His mother-in-law said sneeringly: "Then our niece's daughter" Yang Lijie said: "There are only a few places in total, don't make a show of it first, and wait until our daughter's family affairs are booked."
