s presents today’s update.
By the way, I’m asking for votes for the 515 Fan Festival.
Everyone has 8 votes.
Votes will also give you coins.
I beg you all for your support and appreciation.
"Brother Feng, please help me think about it, what does the prefect mean?"
Xia Xiaodong thought about it and decided to ask for help.
"Well, I've thought about this too."
Feng Shiqian said with a sincere expression, "I think it may be related to Lieutenant General Cai Zhong."
What kind of officer is the Zhongguan?
Who is Cai Zhong?
This person who is beyond his reach and has never heard of is relevant.
Xia Xiaodong blinked, not understanding at all.
Fortunately, Feng Shiqian's next words explained Cai Zhong's identity: "Eunuch Cai left Beijing at the end of last month.
The route he took this time was the three southwestern provinces, and Xuannan was the last stop."
It turned out to be a eunuch.
Xia Xiaodong still doesn't understand.
"I'll tell you slowly after what you heard."
Feng Shiqian pulled out a red sandalwood fan inlaid with mother-of-pearl from his sleeves, pointed at the paintings here and there and began to explain, acting like a storyteller.
In fact, it's not complicated to say.
Eunuch Cai came down to draft girls.
Hearing the word "beautiful girl", Xia Xiaodong suddenly became energetic.
Is the legendary talent show for real?
Things that were new to Xia Xiaodong were familiar to Feng Shiqian and could be picked up at his fingertips.
The practice of drafting has been passed down from the previous dynasty and has been popular for more than two hundred years.
Both officials and people are familiar with it.
It's just a rookie like Xia Xiaodong who grew up in a Taoist temple who doesn't know.
To be fair, the draft was pretty loose.
Basically, the election is held every three years, and will only be postponed appropriately when there are things like national mourning.
The constituencies are not as exaggerated as national auditions, but only three or four provinces at a time, so as not to disturb the people too much.
As for the girls who participated in the election, the conditions were very simple.
There was no strict requirement that they were not allowed to be married without being drafted.
It only required that girls from the families of civil and military officials who were over fifteen years old and not yet engaged must participate in the election.
While listening to Feng Shiqian's narration, Xia Xiaodong considered the conditions for the talent show girls.
One must be born into an official's family, which requires a certain level of education.
If you are over fifteen years old, you can use it as long as you choose it.
The talent show, after stripping away the layers of beautiful halo, is actually just selecting people for the stallions.
They are too young to be able to do anything.
We are not engaged yet, so we have to do it voluntarily.
If you don't want the girls in your family to go to the talent show, just make a marriage arrangement as soon as possible.
If there is a shortcut to climb the dragon and the phoenix, you might as well wait, maybe you will catch the eye of the emperor or the prince or the clan, and the whole family will be able to follow the rising tide.
"According to the ancestral system, the primary selection is in each province.
Those who are not shortlisted will naturally be returned to the Ning family."
Feng Shiqian continued: "If you are shortlisted, you will have to go to Beijing to be a candidate.
This is also a major event, and the royal family will not have to He said, "Of course you choose carefully.

Many dignitaries and officials in the capital take the opportunity to choose a wife."
"It sounds like it's a good thing."
Xia Xiaodong didn't notice any big problems when he heard this.
Although it feels a bit like shopping for groceries, you just pick it up step by step.
The emperor and the boss pick first, then go down the order, and finally pick the rest, and then everyone goes back to their respective houses to find their own mothers to finish the work.
As the chosen ones, that is, girls are somewhat passive, but compared to the blind marriage ordered by their parents and the words of a matchmaker, they are actually more proactive.
Have you not seen that in the chaos between palaces and houses, the ladies can show off their ingenuity and show off their talents?
It is hard to say who will win in the end.
"Of course there are disadvantages."
Feng Shiqian stretched out his hand and tapped Xia Xiaodong's forehead, laughing at her for being too pure: "The female officials and maids in the palace should also be added to the beautiful ladies."
It turns out there are additional conditions like this.
Also, the prime minister's concierge, a seventh-rank official, a servant of the royal family, was also a young lady at home.
No wonder the show girls have to fight back and forth.
If they climb up, they are superior to others.
If they are stepped down, they become slaves.
The evil royal power.
"However, given the official position of Commander Xia, if you run for election, you will not be selected as a palace maid anyway."
Feng Shiqian saw that Xia Xiaodong looked a little strange, and quickly comforted him: "Generally speaking, only father and brother's Only those with official positions below the seventh rank can be palace maids.”
"Besides, there are still people who would rather be a palace maid than enter the palace."
Feng Shiqian added.
Legal principles are nothing more than human relationships, and rules must be implemented by people.
Although the draft system is there, there are still some hidden rules behind it.
"Then what does the rumor have to do with the draft?"
Xia Xiaodong asked.
"Of course I'm forcing you to run for election."
Feng Shi said calmly.
Let me ask you, how can I circumvent this causal relationship?
"I don't know how you offended Magistrate Zhang, but he seems to be trying to make things difficult for you."
Feng Shiqian pointed out the crux.
He probably blamed me for his son's serious illness.
Xia Xiaodong thought to himself.
"But the prefect and your father each have their own responsibilities in civil and military affairs.
He doesn't want to openly quarrel with each other, so he wants to find a way to drag you into, well, not a good situation."
He still wants to reap benefits from the Suzhou Stone, and of course he doesn't want to quarrel with my father.
Xia Xiaodong kept commenting on Feng Shiqian's words in his heart.
Suddenly, he realized that it was probably because of Suzhou Stone that Magistrate Zhang wanted to smear his father.
Maybe if he did it well, he could get some share from his father.
"Letting you participate in the draft is a good idea."
Feng Shiqian looked at Xia Xiaodong's face and continued: "With your appearance, it is a sure thing that you will pass the preliminary selection and you will definitely be able to go to Beijing."
Are you praising me in a roundabout way?
Xia Xiaodong touched his face and asked: "But according to what you said before, even if you go to the draft, you won't be reduced to a palace maid or something like that.
He bothered to do this Well" "You will know when you enter the capital.
Even if the draft is only conducted in three provinces, two to three hundred people can always be selected.
It can be said that the beauty is like the clouds and the king is like the rain.
It will be difficult to get ahead by then."

Feng Shiqian tapped the folding fan in his hand on the palm of his other hand: "Moreover, in addition to the appearance of the beautiful ladies, there are many factors that influence it, it's very complicated."
You don’t need to tell me this, I’ve seen a lot of it.
Xia Xiaodong smiled slightly, obviously not scared.
"Let's put it this way," Feng Shiqian said faster and faster: "If you can overcome all obstacles and stand out for a while, whether you can enter the palace and serve as a concubine, or marry a prince and become a concubine or even the main concubine, then Zhang Bo'an, as the prefect of Suzhou, will There is merit in recommendation.”
Xia Xiaodong nodded when he heard this.
It is easy for this person to understand, just like the Jinshi who have a room master and a master, but in fact they are just invigilators, but they must be recognized as teachers and be worshiped as great gods from then on, otherwise they will be said to have deceived their masters and destroyed their ancestors.
In the same way, any beautiful girl from Xuannan Province will probably be recommended by Magistrate Zhang.
"Then just don't choose on purpose."
Xia Xiaodong smiled.
It’s not easy to choose, but it’s hard to choose. 515 is coming soon, and I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list.
On May 15th, the red envelope rain will be given back to readers and promotional works.
One piece is also love, I will definitely update it carefully:
