There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 490 The First Interview with the Consort Candidate

Since the first interview was going to be held the next afternoon, the two of them were not in the mood for teaching, so Wu Youwei simply took His Highness the Crown Prince out of the warm palace and played with spinning tops on the ground. for a moment.

Spinning top is one of the earliest entertainment tools of Chinese ancestors, and it is also made as top.

The upper part of the shape is round and the lower part is sharp.

The traditional ancient spinning top is roughly in the shape of an inverted cone made of wood or iron, and is played with a whip.

Wu Youwei remembers that there are spinning tops launched by launchers in modern times.

Of course, there are also some "hand spinning tops" that are very popular.Spinning top is a very familiar toy for teenagers.popular all over the world.

Huaxia is the hometown of spinning tops.

Wu Youwei remembered that a stone spinning top was unearthed in the Neolithic site in Xia County, Shanxi Province in later generations.It can be seen that the spinning top has a history of at least four or five thousand years in China.

And because this thing has the principle of mechanics, Wu Youwei extended it to dynamics, his mouth was dry, and His Royal Highness listened with great interest.

That night, Wantong came back very early, had dinner early, took a walk, digested food, washed up, and went to bed.

Because it was the end of October and the weather was very cold, the kang was heated up early, and there were fire walls and earth dragon earth heaters in the house for heating, which was very warm.

Wu Youwei hooked Wantong's arm with his hand: "Go to bed so early?"

Wantong turned over and took him into his arms: "Well, go to bed early, tomorrow is the first interview, I have to check."

I have passed the first interview, and the second time, I will show it to the emperor.

When it comes to the third time, it is for the eldest princess to meet secretly, and decide whoever she likes.

Wu Youwei also thought about it: "Then I will go tomorrow!"

"You?" Wantong was taken aback: "What are you going to do?"

Having been with this person for so many years, he knows that he is not a person who likes to join in the fun.

"His Royal Highness will also go." Wu Youwei took the opportunity to say hello in advance: "I am his husband, and I will take him there."

His Royal Highness would not say this.

"Okay." Wantong patted him: "Sleep, I will reserve a place for you tomorrow."

"En!" Wu Youwei kissed him happily: "Sleep!"

Wantong's eyes darkened a bit, but the man had already found a comfortable position in his arms, closed his eyes and concentrated on sleeping.

So he had no choice but to take a deep breath quietly, the other party had already begun to breathe long and long, which meant he had fallen asleep.

With the sound of this man's peaceful breathing, he also gradually fell asleep...

Early the next morning, the two got up and started to get busy. After breakfast, they went their separate ways.

At the beginning of Youshi, Wu Youwei entered the Ciqing Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ready. He wore an apricot-yellow robe representing the status of the crown prince, a golden crown on his head, and looked very serious.

But Wu Youwei was dressed in an official uniform, there was no way, he came to class, but the student was the crown prince, so he had to be serious.

The two got together, and after a while, a little eunuch ran over: "Your Highness, the entrance is starting over there."

"Sir, let's go!" His Highness the Crown Prince stood up boldly and vigorously.

Wu Youwei nodded and followed behind him, and the two of them led a group of eunuchs to Wenlou ahead.

Wenlou was first built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. It was called Wenlou in the early Ming Dynasty.

This place is big enough, it is said that there are still a hundred candidates for the son-in-law.

First interview here.

Wantong had already sent someone to arrange it.

There are eleven Taishi chairs in a row. Not only are there pre-installed hand stoves on the Taishi chairs, but they are also covered with thick cushions.

There is a desk in front of each grand master's chair, which is complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as snacks, tea and so on.

The middle position is naturally reserved for His Royal Highness, because he used an apricot-yellow goose feather cushion embroidered with dragon patterns.

And it is much taller than others. After all, His Royal Highness sits in the middle and cannot be much shorter than the courtiers next to him.

Among the remaining ten people, there are Wu Youwei, Wantong, and Zhou Jing's son-in-law, who is now the person in charge of the Clan Mansion.

There are also two sons-in-law to help him, and in addition, there are two servants from the Ministry of Rites and three elders from the clan.

Eleven of them looked solemn, like teachers who were about to take an exam.

They will be in place in the middle of Youshi, and at the end of Youshi, everyone will be there and wait outside the door.

Then, Wu Youwei saw that someone gave Wantong a brochure, and after Wantong clicked on it, he started the first round of interviews.

Six young men came in, all of them were very energetic. Those who could run around the imperial city and persevere were rare. They really were the kind of people with good physique.

And these six guys are all young, no more than 20 years old!

Among them were two young men who were well dressed, they looked like children of wealthy families, and the three elders in the clan were very satisfied, and nodded while stroking their beards.

Wu Youwei took a look, and there was an old man among them, who looked very similar to one of them, this is... his own child!

As a result, Wantong said directly: "You six go back."

"Why?" The six of them were dumbfounded.

It is not easy to stick to this step. There are 1000 people, and only these [-] people are selected.

One tenth is extremely harsh.

"Because when you came in, all six of you made mistakes." Wantong pointed out one by one: "When you entered the door, you saw the beautiful maid who led the way eighteen times; You said that after you went back, you would secretly go to the brothel Chu Pavilion to play; when you came in, you wanted to reach out and pinch the ass of a leading palace lady; you spit on the ground before you came in; Your maidservant has been pregnant for a month; you beat and scolded your bookboy and coachman before you came in. What place is this? The Imperial Palace! It’s not your house, I want to beat and scold the servants and go back to beat and scold; there is no concubine room for you to sleep Where's the house girl? She fell asleep when she was asleep, and she got pregnant before she got married and took a concubine. It was when you were running for the election! What is being a royal? And you, you are so lustful, you are so hungry Ghost! And you, what's the matter? Do you still want to moles the maids in the palace?"

According to the saying at this time, the palace daughters, no matter how big or small, are all the emperor's women.

The first son saw him eighteen times, which is not an ordinary liking.

Now, the faces of the three elders of the clan were also dull. They thought they were good juniors, but they didn't expect to be so lustful!

It turned out that Wantong had asked people to find the most beautiful palace daughters in the whole palace to be in charge of receiving these consort candidates, and they still served them tea and water, leading the way, some of these six struck up a conversation, and some made a fuss. He didn't dare to resist with a straight face.

After all, no one knows which of them will be lucky enough to be Princess Shang.

As a result, these sons had a wrong feeling. They usually acted frivolously at home or within the sight range of their own homes. Those women undoubtedly did not swallow their anger one by one. They either endured silently or fled shyly. This is a habit. up.

If a man talks about something, it's called "flirty".

However, if a woman's reputation is damaged, it is not very good, at least she will not be able to marry, and at worst she will be forced to die.

Ordinary people don't pay that much attention, but they come from their own rich and prosperous places, and there are many rich families, so naturally, they pay more attention to it.

They are used to being free and unrestrained at home, and they have restrained a lot when they come here. No, the dust is about to settle soon, so... they couldn't hold back, their nature was exposed.

After eliminating these six people, no one said a word.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat there with a stern face, so gloomy that he could drip.

You are so insolent before you are qualified to be a consort, but you can't go to heaven if you become a consort?

The three elders of the clan remained silent because His Highness the Crown Prince was present. You must know that the Eldest Princess and His Highness the Crown Prince are siblings.

These six went, and another six came in, Wantong still said: "You six should go back too."

"And why?" This time, even Zhou Jing's son-in-law was surprised.

"Two are alcoholics; two are disrespectful to their parents; and there are two, their father has more than a dozen concubines and has six outhouses. What good sons can such fathers have?" Wan Wan Tong pointed at them and said, "Don't be unconvinced. The commander has investigated. Your family's morals are deficient. The royal family will not want such a family to become a relative of the royal family!"

"Is...impossible?" Zhou Jing said, "It's all..."

"Nothing is impossible. I already have the evidence. They bribed the servants who went to monitor. Now those servants have been captured by Dongchang, and I have also sent people to arrest those who bribed them." Wan Tongdao: "Let's lie about the place because it's far away from here, hum!"

The six people were terrified. They knew their own affairs, and they did.

What's more, because their family thought about Princess Shang, they even packaged them outside. Their reputation is still good, and they are all from the capital of Nanjing!

As a result, Wantong was too careful, so he sent someone to find their hometown. After more than a month of investigation, just today, the detailed information of all 100 people who passed the customs was sorted out.

Then, Wantong started to go crazy.

These six were taken down again.

Six more people came in, and these six people were a little timid.

Everyone looked at Wantong, and Wantong said, "The six of you are the first interviewees, and now you can ask each of them two questions."

His Highness the Crown Prince's eyes lit up: "Gu come first!"

"Of course, please, His Royal Highness." Wantong took good care of this elder nephew, and let him ask first, bypassing everyone.

"Will you fight?" As a result, His Royal Highness's first question was to ask if they would fight.

Everyone else was stunned, only Wu Youwei lowered his head, and his shoulders shrugged suspiciously several times.

Wantong glanced at him, this question, could it not be that His Highness the Crown Prince was influenced by Youwei?

"Yes!" One of the strong men said loudly, "I have been fighting since I was a child!"

"Then will you fight against the orphaned sister in the future?" His Royal Highness is quite satisfied with this strong man, because he is tall, strong, and in good shape, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of heroic spirit.

"Manly man, a dragon outside, a caterpillar at home!" The strong man smiled honestly: "In our place, anyone who dares to beat his wife will be looked down upon by others, and the mother-in-law's brothers are not vegetarians, what should I do if they come to the door?" ? Besides, a daughter-in-law needs to be hurt, not to practice her hands."

Wantong and Wu Youwei looked at each other. If this person is not pretending, he should be a good candidate.

But the other person said in a gentle manner: "The way of husband and wife is to raise the eyebrows, how can we fight together?"

"What Gu asked was whether you would fight." His Royal Highness said, "You haven't answered Gu's question yet." The gentle man choked, "Forgive me, the next scholar, although he can use fists and kicks, he can't help himself. Bao is okay, fighting... just a little bit."

Or an all-rounder?

"That's why I won't!" His Royal Highness is not optimistic about this person. All-round talents in civil and military affairs are equal to half a bottle of water. There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, but there are too few people who can cultivate both civil and military skills.

But among the six people, only one can fight, and the rest can't.

The second question was also asked by His Royal Highness, that is, will they beat their daughter-in-law?

Regardless of whether they can fight or not, they say they will not "drunk and beat the golden branch".

The question Wantong asked them was what would they do if someone made things difficult for them to see the princess?

The unified answer of the candidates is to ask others to call the shots!

Wantong frowned.

His Royal Highness was puzzled: "Could it be impossible to break in, or shout to see the princess?"

"I'm afraid they don't have the guts yet." Wu Youwei sighed, this situation needs to be improved.

Otherwise, it won't be long before such a distorted scene will still appear. The princesses and sons-in-law are both alive, but one is a widow and the other is a widower...
