Chapter 488
"Of course, they can't go back to Japan, nor can they go to Daming, so where will they go?" Wantong asked Wu Youwei.
Wu Youwei was taken aback: "Then where else can I go? You can't just float on the sea, right?"
Even a gypsy would take a carriage as their home. It was true to wander around, but at least their feet fell to the ground.
"Can they go somewhere else..." Wantong smiled slightly.
Wu Youwei scratched his head, not quite understanding.
After the August Festival, customs officials married off their daughters, and Wu Youwei went to add make-up for them all.
Wu Youwei gave 1000 taels of silver at the bottom of the box, and a pair of top-quality mutton jade ornaments, a set of head and face first t market.
It is a great gift.
I went to watch the ceremony in person, although I knew that Guan Guanwai was the emperor's spy, but I couldn't tell that he was a spy at all, more like the emperor's money bag.
After the fun, the customs officer invited them to dinner alone: "It doesn't matter if my daughter marries from the north, after all, it's her mother's hometown."
Everyone knew the details and toasted him with a glass of wine.
Since then, Guan Yuanwai has become even more invincible in the market.
On the Double Ninth Festival in September, Wu Youwei and Wantong ascended the heights and looked far away. They were chatting on the pavilion. Wan Tong said, "I'm going to recruit a son-in-law for the princess soon."
"The emperor... mean?" Wu Youwei swallowed.
Whether it is a princess or a son-in-law, Daming is a coffee table full of tragedies.
"Well, the Eldest Princess is already in her prime. If it weren't for the many things that have happened recently, it would have been on the agenda." Many people are thinking about the Eldest Princess. Of course, some people are afraid of being selected, so there have been many happy events in Beijing and China this year.
"Investigate those candidates for son-in-law." Wu Youwei thought for a while: "Don't pick someone who is strong outside."
Wu Youwei reminded Wantong, and Wantong immediately thought of what Wu Youwei told him, that the princess of the Ming Dynasty in history found a concubine of an old and sick ghost, she was a widow all her life, and until she died, she didn't know how to make love. ….
Immediately there was a cold war: "When the time comes, I want those boys to run around the imperial city three times. If they can't finish, get out!"
Wu Youwei: "...!!!"
Brother, are you serious?Running three laps around the imperial city, that physique is quite passable.
It is estimated that ordinary scholars will not be able to complete this exercise, and even those who are in poor health will not be able to sustain it.
Wantong really did that!
After the autumn harvest, the news from the coast said that everything was going well, and few people knew what "everything" meant.
But this year, the world has a bumper harvest. Last year, there were constant disasters in various places. This year's bumper harvest can ease the disaster of last year.
Although the weather in Daming is not so good now, at least there are new crops. Wu Youwei thought optimistically that it should be no problem to support the Little Ice Age.
The people in the household department are happy, this year's harvest is bumper, and the reports of the good news from all over the country make the household department happy from ear to ear, and the secretary of the household department walks with wind.
On the contrary, Emperor Xianzong no longer had much joy in the harvest. As long as God stopped showing him the face of the emperor, the world would have a bumper harvest and peace.
However, Emperor Xianzong looked at the slim eldest daughter in front of him, and said with a mournful face: "Father, I really don't want to part with it!"
Sitting next to him, Wan Zhen'er couldn't laugh or cry: "My lord, my daughter will go out when she grows up. Do you want to raise an old girl at home?"
"You can raise it, it's not like I can't afford it!" Emperor Xianzong almost cried: "I can't bear to part with this one, and there are more than a dozen in the future... I don't know whose family is cheaper. ...I really can't bear it!"
The Eldest Princess is the elder sister, so naturally she was the first to leave the palace to descend, but Emperor Xianzong still had so many daughters, and they descended from the pavilion one by one, although Emperor Xianzong didn't see those daughters as well as the two princesses of Zhaode Palace Many, but they also have feelings!
When I think of so many daughters who are as beautiful as flowers and jade, I don't know whose kid will be cheaper in the future, Emperor Xianzong... I can't bear it!
The daughters he raised with gold and jade are all more delicate than flowers, and they also make clothes for him, embroider purses, some small accessories he wears now, the clothes are made by Zhen Er, but shoes, purses, sachets, The nets of jade pendants and so on are all made by the daughters. Although it is not common, I know that they are all thinking of me. They are about to surrender suddenly, get married, and then they will make things for other people's brats.
"Father, even if the daughter is surrendered, she is still a princess of the royal family, and she will be the daughter of the father for the rest of her life..." The princess began to persuade Emperor Xianzong, who played a childish temper.
Wan Zhen'er thought for a while, and quietly found Dagong's daughter, and asked her to send someone to gather the princesses, set up a stove in the imperial garden, and then took Emperor Xianzong to the imperial garden.
The princesses cooked in person and cooked a simple meal in front of Emperor Xianzong.
Emperor Xianzong was tearful after eating, and his daughters can cook!
The Empress Dowager Zhou laughed at him: "You, why are you like your father? When Chongqing was about to descend, he did the same thing. He didn't want to lose face in front of you, so he acted violently in front of Ai's family. The test, Chongqing also said that what he fears most is the first emperor."
Emperor Xianzong cried and held his queen mother's hand: "My queen, I really can't bear it, and you must have hated my sister Chongqing back then!"
The Queen Mother Zhou took out her hand and hit him on the head: "You have to let the princess surrender if you can't bear it? Otherwise, do you want to keep them in the palace forever? They are in their thirties, and they still look like children."
But the son's innocence still moved the Queen Mother Zhou very much. An emperor who didn't want the princess's daughter to surrender was better than an emperor who indifferently watched his daughters live as widows one by one.
After the turmoil in the palace, Emperor Xianzong finally issued an imperial decree unwillingly to choose a son-in-law for the eldest princess.
But the scope of the regulations is within the two provinces of Gyeonggi and Zhili.
It is Princess Junshang, the best young talent on the border between Beijing and Nanjing.
Xiao Mingde of Wu Youwei's family is barely qualified!
"My family's...is that okay?" Wu Youwei was stunned. In his impression, his son had always been a child, but when he looked back, he had grown into a young boy.
"If you don't want to, then the quota will be exempted." Wan Tao said, "I still have this right."
In fact, it was not, but Wantong was too powerful, and he arranged for people to investigate the consorts who had signed up.
It can be said that apart from Emperor Xianzong who was the father, it was he who was the little uncle who worked hard the most.
"It's better to be exempted." Wu Youwei said: "You know that kid in my family, and he still marries the princess? It's not bad if he doesn't get punished by the emperor."
Although he is already a young boy, Xiao Mingde is still jumping up and down like a lively little monkey.
Wantong waived Wu Mingde's quota.
In fact, not everyone can choose a son-in-law. As I said earlier, only three or five generations of men who broke the law and no remarried daughters can be eligible to be selected.
It is not foolproof to be selected, Wantong really worked hard for his eldest niece.
After obtaining the qualifications, there is still a written test. The test questions are multiple-choice questions given by Wu Youwei, for example: My wife is pregnant, what should you do?
—: Concubine.
Two: Tongfang girl, temporarily relieved.
Three: Go to the Chu Pavilion in the brothel and sleep with the oiran.
Four: keep one's body clean and keep one's life together.
Five: Secretly find a place to relieve, just keep your wife from knowing.
Six: Solve by yourself, treat your wife with respect as a guest, and raise your eyebrows.
Choose one from six.
Wantong was a little dumbfounded when he saw such a question: "The correct answer is the sixth?"
"Wrong, it's the fourth one." Wu Youwei said: "Respect each other like a guest, raise your eyebrows like a guest? That's how ordinary people get along with each other. Is a princess an ordinary person? A princess is a king, and a son-in-law is a minister. A couple."
The second question is: If you open the door of a room and find a woman changing clothes inside, what should you do?
One: Turn around and leave.
Two: Be responsible to her.
Three: Take her as a concubine.
Four: Yelling.
Five: Everyone knows the trouble.
Wantong's eyes ached from looking at it: "Is this... well known to everyone?"
"Of course, in fact, the best way is to make the trouble known to everyone." Wu Youwei said: "You look good, how could there be a woman changing clothes in the room you want to enter? It's not a trap, it's a trap!"
How important is women's chastity these days?
Which girl from a good family would change clothes in an unfamiliar environment?No one is with you?
Wantong felt that what he said was quite reasonable!
What kind of pot should match what kind of lid, these two people really deserve to be a family.
There are even classic titles about various romantic encounters, such as "You are the only one near a woman who fell into the water, what should you do?"
There are also questions like "There is a woman who loves you so much that she wants to stay by your side even if she is a concubine. What should you do?"
Wu Youwei's questions are very tricky, but the details are full of philosophy of life.
Wantong used it without hesitation, and even Emperor Xianzong said "wonderful" after seeing it!
After the written test, the 500 people who were originally selected suddenly lost [-] people!
But there are still 300 people!
Wantong sent people to escort these 300 people to run around the imperial city!
Those who can't run directly advance to the next round, and those who can't run are sent back to his hometown directly.
Such a physical fitness to run for the consort?Even a groom is not qualified!
Seeing the joy of Emperor Xianzong and Wantong's tossing so much, Zhou Jing's son-in-law broke out in cold sweat in front of the Chongqing eldest princess, "It's a good thing that my father-in-law didn't toss me like this back then, otherwise I'm afraid we wouldn't have such a good marriage."
Princess Chongqing laughed happily.
Wantong not only tossed the candidates, but also took the prenuptial agreement that Wu Youwei had prepared for the girls and daughters for Emperor Xianzong.
Emperor Xianzong really felt like a treasure.
Moreover, Wu Youwei also wrote a lot of little common sense about "Aventure", such as "Sell yourself to bury your father", a maid, even a beautiful maid, can cost up to 30 taels of silver.
It has to be said that this beautiful maid is dexterous, able to embroider, cook and even massage.
After all, she is a maidservant who serves people, not a "high-priced commodity" like a brothel courtesan.
But it's obviously inappropriate for someone who sells himself to bury his father to ask for 50 taels of silver!
There are also "lost little lambs". The woman brought three people, including a nanny and a maid, to seek refuge with relatives, but the relatives moved away, and she was afraid that it would be unsafe to stay in a hotel, so she just wanted to stay at your house for one night. What do you do if you leave the next day?
In case something happens this night, who can predict it?
It's not certain whether I can leave after I live here.
There are also "moral kidnappings" happening these days, and Wu Youwei wrote about them without hesitation, and Emperor Xianzong even shouted, "What a foresight!"
While wanting Wantong and Emperor Xianzong to join forces to toss the future son-in-law, Wu Youwei was approached.
At that time, Wu Youwei had already donated all kinds of things to several places where he fixedly donated, and was thinking about how much he could keep. He collected some of the food at home and put it in the space, as well as salt, fresh meat, etc. .
He always feels that bringing some things in the space will make him feel more at ease.
Especially in the ancient times when there was no guarantee, gold and food were his most important things, followed by making ready-made clothes.
While doing some calculations, butler Lin Su came in: "Master, someone is looking for you."
"Ah?" Wu Youwei was taken aback: "Looking for me?"
"It's a Taoist priest leading four little Taoist priests." Butler Lin Su's face twisted for some reason, "The four little Taoist priests seem to be very angry."
Wu Youwei immediately thought of Zhong Youzi and his four apprentices.
However, according to Wantong, they were sentenced to be beheaded at the Meridian Gate at that time, and they went to the underworld before even the "Queen of Autumn".Who is here?
