Ye Xiaoxian wrote out all those questions and gave them to the female official to ask questions.
For example: "two father and son went to buy Hats, why did they only buy three?"
"Your father and your mother have a son. He is neither your brother nor your brother. Who is he?"
“……”
In a word, it's all some brain twists.
Ye Xiaoxian knows that she doesn't read many books herself. I'm afraid Li Chengru isn't very much. Li Chengru is rather stuffy. If she finds some more regular and rigid, I'm afraid it's difficult to please Li Chengru.
It's better to find some people with good brains, pleasant temperament and interesting.
Some problems directly baffled these ladies.
They didn't expect Ye Xiaoxian to ask such a question.
Some are thinking seriously. Ye Xiaoxian believes that those who think seriously are also very lovely and can stay and have a look.
Some of them responded quickly and answered at once. Ye Xiaoxian thought that these people were flexible and inflexible, and they could also stay and have a look.
Anyway, now it's just to choose concubines, not officially sealed. First choose them into the palace. As for who will be the queen in the future, Li Chengru must decide what he likes.
Men don't say they don't like it before. After they have it, they can't help temptation, and Li Chengru is no exception.
After the draft, a total of 30 people participated. Ye Xiaoxian coughed 20 times, leaving two-thirds.
Half more than Li Chengru said.
Li Chengru finally gave Ye Xiaoxian a white eye.
Ye Xiaoxian smiled and felt that Li Chengru should thank her. Now his harem is no longer lonely.
……
After Li Chengru elected his imperial concubine, there were more and more activities in the capital, and the movement between officials and family members was also frequent.
Ye Xiaoxian often receives invitations to various activities, such as what to play polo, who's young childe for a hundred days, who's wedding banquet, who's daughter coming out of the cabinet, and so on.
Ye Xiaoxian is not particularly interested in this kind of occasion. If she has a better relationship, she will take her family to dinner and let the children see the world. If she has a bad relationship, she will directly send some gifts or let Xiao Baozhu go.
Xiao Baozhu is now the second head of the family.
She used to help Xiucai Wang run the house and has a good set of housekeepers. Later, I experienced some hardships and hardships. Now I manage my family in good order.
After arriving in the capital, ye Xiaoxian will tell her about the size of the positions in the capital, and also focus on etiquette. Xiao Baozhu learned these very quickly and did them with great care.
Later, ye Xiaoxian simply handed over to Xiao Baozhu what she needed to contact with the outside world at home.
Xiao Baozhu is studious and capable, and can endure hardships very well. After staying in the capital for a period of time, she has lost her petty family spirit. In addition, her dress has improved several qualities. Now she looks like some official ladies.
On that day, ye Xiaoxian received another invitation. A minister in Beijing married his daughter-in-law and invited the xiaobaoshan family to go there.
The minister was a veteran of three dynasties. Ye Xiaoxian met their wife the last time she was in the capital. She had a little friendship, so she took Xiao Baozhu, Li Hongmei and two children.
Many people came to the wedding banquet and entertained dozens of people.
Ye Xiaoxian is now the wife of a general. Before her status was different, many people came to get close to her.
While chatting with some official ladies, Xiao Baozhu suddenly shouted, "what about Dongdong and Xiaoxia?"
Ye Xiaoxian couldn't help but come back to her senses.
It was here just now. Why is it missing now?
When Xiao Baozhu saw that ye Xiaoxian couldn't leave for the time being, she said, "I should have gone somewhere to play. I won't run far. I'll find it. Sister-in-law, you can continue to sit."
There are many people at the wedding banquet, and the children like to join in the fun, so they won't sit quietly. They must have gone somewhere to play.
Li Hongmei and Xiao Baozhu also looked for it, but they looked for it separately.
Xiao Baozhu looked for a circle at the banquet and didn't see the figure of the two children. She thought: it can't be that she went to the garden?
She ran to the garden.
There are a group of people in the garden, but there are no figures of Dongdong and Xiaoxia.
She turned back again, but as soon as she turned around, she bumped into a man who was strong and tall, and almost broke her forehead.
"Ouch!"
"Sorry!"
They both spoke at the same time.
But when they saw each other clearly, they exclaimed to each other:
"Pearl?"
"A Biao?"
A Biao, who used to be the personal guard of the six kings, was also a general. When xiaobaoshan went to the south to fight, he was responsible for escorting Baozhu to Baoning city.
They got along for more than ten days and nights. Because Xiao Baoshan told a Biao that he must protect his sister, a Biao dared not neglect, took good care of him and was very considerate.
Xiao Baozhu was also very fond of a Biao at that time, but she had just experienced a love injury and didn't trust men. She only regarded a Biao as a friend of her brother and a loyal and responsible guard.
The two have always been polite. When they arrived in Baoning City, Xiao Baozhu met his family, and they hardly met.
Now, they met again in the capital.
A Biao now has more than thirty kings. During the war, he has been following the six kings. He is also a brave and good fighter and has done meritorious deeds many times. After the sixth Lord died, a Biao was transferred to the forbidden army as a deputy commander.
Therefore, a Biao looks very dignified. He looks like a general like xiaobaoshan.
Xiao Baozhu has experienced a lot. Now she looks good-looking. She is not like the hard-working little girl before. She has a bit of aura in her eyes. She has an indifferent temperament. She doesn't fight or rob, but she can see a trace of stubbornness and tenacity in her body.
The two looked at each other, stunned at first, and then laughed.
A Biao said, "I didn't expect to meet you here. How have you been these years?"
Xiao Baozhu said, "that's it. At first, he was in the tribe, and then he came to the capital. What about you?"
"It's okay." A Biao asked, "are you used to living in the capital?"
"I wasn't used to it at first. I got used to it when I lived." Xiao Baozhu smiled and then asked, "what about you? You used to be the person around the sixth Lord. Were you born in the capital before the sixth Lord didn't go to Baoning city?"
A punctuation head said, "yes, I was a member of the sixth Prince's residence since I was a child, but my parents are gone, so I followed the sixth Prince since I was a child."
"Then you should be quite used to returning to the capital now, just like going home."
"That's true."
“……”
Xiao Baozhu had a speculative conversation with a Biao. For a moment and a half, he even forgot his two nephews.
Until Li Hongmei finds two grandchildren and leads one to Xiao Baozhu, Li Hongmei finds that Xiao Baoshan is chatting with a man, and the conversation is very speculative.
Li Hongmei also found that the man looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.
She didn't want to disturb Xiao Baozhu, but Dongdong shouted, "aunt Baozhu!"
Xiao Baozhu reacted. She had talked with a Biao for a long time. In addition, she came out to look for children at the beginning.
Now that Li Hongmei has seen it, she is embarrassed to talk with a Biao.
The capital is different from their small county. Xiao Baozhu also knows the rules. Women at the big gate are easy not to contact foreign men.
Although Xiao Baoshan didn't mention these rules, Xiao Baozhu didn't want her brother to be teased by his colleagues in the capital because of herself.
But she was reluctant, so she said to a Biao, "my mother has come to look for it. I have to go back."
Unexpectedly, a Biao is also an informal person. Besides, a Biao and Li Hongmei have met. Now they haven't seen each other for so long. They should go up and say hello.
A Biao went forward and gave Li Hongmei a gift: "Hello, old lady Xiao."
"You are..." Li Hongmei really can't remember who is in front of her.
A Biao said, "I'm a Biao. I sent Baozhu to Baoning city when I was in DINGHE."
"Oh..." Li Hongmei suddenly realized: "it's you. No wonder I look so familiar."
Li Hongmei saw that a Biao was very talented and dignified. She liked it very much, so she asked two more questions, such as what position he is now, where he lives, and whether he has a wife at home.
Xiao Baozhu realized that if Li Hongmei asked again, it would cause misunderstanding. She hurriedly dragged her mother and said, "Mom, don't ask so many questions. It's impolite."
Li Hongmei knew that she had too much, so she reluctantly said, "a Biao, you have helped us Baozhu before. Come to our house when you are free. We have delicious food in our house."
Ah Biao nodded and said, "yes, I will."
……
Back to the table, the wedding banquet has begun. Everyone sits back to their own positions. Even if the chat is limited to the people at the same table.
After Li Hongmei and others came back, the two children rushed to Ye Xiaoxian's arms, while Li Hongmei sat aside with Xiao Baozhu.
Ye Xiaoxian blamed the two children: "where have you been? Didn't my mother tell you not to run around in other people's homes?"
Dongdong said, "my sister wants to catch butterflies."
Xiao Xia said, "I caught butterflies at the back. At first, my brother said he wanted to play hide and seek."
"..." Ye Xiaoxian said, "no matter where you go in the future, you should tell your mother. You see, grandma and aunt are looking for you everywhere. They are also very tired."
The two children were sensible and said, "OK, I see, mom."
"Now I know. I'll turn around and forget!" Ye Xiaoxian knows these two babies too well.
She looked at Li Hongmei and Xiao Baozhu again, but found that the mother and daughter were very happy. They were not impatient at all. It seemed that they had met a great wedding.
Xiao Baozhu, in particular, was still smiling as she ate.
Ye Xiaoxian suddenly smelled a different sign.
"Mother, who did you just meet?" Ye Xiaoxian asked Li Hongmei.
Li Hongmei said with a smile, "I met a Biao."
"A Biao?"
"The one who sent the jewels to Baoning city before..." Li Hongmei saw many people around and said, "don't say this first. I'll talk to you in detail when I get back to the house."
