Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 387 I heard that the emperor likes widows
After passing the gate guard and entering the courtyard, I saw many people lined up there, whispering non-stop.

"Who is in your family?"

"My daughter is 16 years old."

"Sixteen years old, so old, I heard that the emperor likes young people, and my family is only fourteen."

Hu Qian was speechless for a while.

Although I know that people in ancient times got married early, getting married at the age of 16 is regarded as late marriage and late childbearing, but I didn't expect that there would be rumors that the emperor liked young people.

This is all from where, and I don't know where it came from.

"What you say is wrong. Although I am choosing a concubine, I have a relative from Yanggu County who is a fellow villager with the emperor. He said that the emperor likes those beautiful widows."

"Is this...really?"

"It can be fake, if you don't believe me, go to Yanggu County to inquire.

I heard from my relative that the emperor first married some wives and concubines of Hua Xuxu, and later married several wives and concubines of another high-ranking official.

To say something disrespectful, these people have now become empresses in the palace. "

"Not exactly, I heard that General Pang Wanchun's sister is also in the harem, she is not."

"Not all of them, of course, but most of them are.

I heard that there is also Mistress Pan, who used to be sick to Suo Yangxiong... That one is also serving in the palace.

No matter how you say it, except for Mrs. Pang, everything else is right. "

The faces of several people changed.

One of them said: "I have a widowed relative who is very beautiful, why don't you ask her to try it."

"Then what are you waiting for, go now.

Think about it, what the empresses in the palace eat are all good noodle steamed buns, and several of them are served in one meal.

No better than we eat chaff. "

"If you really want to put it away, we can live the life we ​​have now, then we really have to thank the emperor.

If it weren't for him, think about what happened to Zhao's father and son. They were captured by the golden man, which is a shame to their ancestors. "

"Yes, and the emperor also exempted us from taxes, and the days to come will definitely get better and better."

"I think the most important thing is that the emperor knows spells. In this way, it doesn't matter whether it is Dali, Xixia or the Jin people from the north, they dare not do anything to us."

"That's true. In this case, even if the emperor takes my girl to serve tea and water, I will be grateful."

"You said that, who is not?"

"Hurry up, don't be cut in line."

"Actually, don't tell me, if you know that Wu Song is the emperor's brother, I'm still quite worried."

"Me too, but since they are brothers, they must be right. Besides, looking at the situation, do other people dare to do whatever they want?"

"Your worries are purely superfluous. Think about it, who is our emperor? He knows magic. Maybe he can hear what we say here."

As he was talking, he turned his head and saw Hu Qian who was walking over, and saw him walking in without saying a word. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Oh, you are not going to jump in line, are you?"

Hu Qian said: "I don't..."

"It's not you, just line up honestly. Everyone is queuing up. You are special than others, aren't you?"

Hu Qian was speechless for a while. He wanted to reveal his identity, but he was afraid that he would lose the power of faith, so he smiled and said, "I'm not here to apply for a job. I'm here to help deliver letters to the government."

"What nonsense are you talking about! All the letters are delivered through the back door, just hand them over to the housekeeper. You think we are all new to the world, don't you?"

"That's right, no matter what, my family has a lot of furniture, you can't lie to us."

"I……"

"If you make trouble again, we will call the guards over and arrest you."

Thinking that those guards might really throw him out, Hu Qian just let it go.

Anyway, there is nothing left and right, so just take a look.

After waiting for about an hour, I finally entered the inner hall.

I saw another small door in the hall, which was covered with a black cloth. There were three people sitting in the hall, one was Wu Song, the other was Yan Qing, and the other was actually Lu Zhishen.

What kind of vision do these three people have? It's just nonsense.

There is an emerald green bead curtain behind the three of them, and two people are sitting behind the bead curtain.

Although it is not clear, it should be a female relative.

Needless to say, one of them must be Hu Sanniang.

As for the other person, Hu Qian suspects that it should be Sun Erniang.

Seeing that there were still a few people in front of him, Hu Qian took a good look at what tricks they were playing.

Yanqing took out a piece of paper and read: "Gao Siliang."

Hu Qian was surprised: "Isn't this a man's name?"

Sure enough, a man in his 30s stepped forward in front of the line, bowed and said, "I've seen some adults."

Wu Song said, "Tell me first."

"Yes Yes."

"The villain is from Nanjing, and his ancestors were also Jinshi. The villain later went into business, and now he also has thousands of households. The wife is the daughter of Lu Yuanwai in Nancheng. She is well-educated and well-educated.

My daughter is 15 years old this year and has been raised in a deep boudoir. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also very popular as a female celebrity. "

Lu Zhishen interrupted: "These are secondary, the key is how is the martial arts? Can you have children?"

The person below was stunned, dumbfounded and speechless.

Yan Qing said: "Brother, don't talk nonsense, ask about martial arts."

Then he turned to the person below, "Miss, please come out and have a look."

The man yelled towards the black curtain, and immediately a graceful figure came out, shyly hiding behind the man.

"Don't be afraid, my son, come and see some adults."

Only then did the woman step forward and gave her a blessing, "I've seen some adults."

The voice was inaudible.

Immediately behind the bead curtain came Hu Sanniang's voice, "Take two steps."

Wu Song said: "Miss, please take a few steps to have a look."

The woman immediately walked a few steps slowly, she looked like a lady of everyone, she started to walk without shaking or shaking, and she was graceful.

And Erniang Sun said: "Let her come in and let me have a look."

Yan Qing said: "Please enter the house and let the female relatives check it out."

The woman panicked immediately.

Fortunately, his father said a few words of comfort, and then walked inside step by step.

After a while, I heard Erniang Sun say: "The buttocks are too small, it's not easy to give birth." "

Wu Song immediately said: "Please go back."

Although the man was a little disappointed, but this was in the prince's mansion, so he could only lead his daughter back silently.

Hu Qian didn't know what to say. Just as he was thinking, another person stepped forward and said, "I have seen the prince and some adults."

"Tell me."

"Yes, the villain has a younger sister. Her husband died a few months ago. Now she is widowed at home and has no children. My younger sister is very beautiful. When she was not out of the court, she had a lot of pursuits. Even now, there are many matchmakers coming to her door. Come and find."

Before Yan Qing and Wu Song spoke, Lu Zhi admired deeply: "This is not bad, call it out and have a look."

The man shouted, and then a woman came out from behind the black curtain.

Compared with the weak wind supporting willows before, this woman is much plumper, her waist is very thin, but her upper body and lower body are plump, she has a completely foxy face.

Even though everyone in the hall had eaten and seen it before, they couldn't help but be tempted by this woman's beauty.

Yan Qing asked: "What do you two brothers think?"

Wu Song and Lu Zhishen looked at each other and nodded.

Sun Erniang at the back said: "How long have you been married, why don't you have children?"

The woman said: "We have been married for three months, because... the husband..."

His elder brother went on to say: "My brother-in-law is a Jinshi. He only knows how to study all day long. He is weak, so his male ability is a bit weak. At that time, he also asked a doctor to prescribe medicine, but he didn't get better. He died of illness."

Sun Erniang said: "Come in and have a look."

The woman didn't hesitate and went directly inside.

After a while, Sun Erniang and Hu Sanniang exclaimed at the same time.

"So big..."

Several men in the hall heard it, and their faces were all a little unnatural.

Sun Erniang and Hu Sanniang immediately lowered their voices.

After a while, the woman didn't come out again, and Hu Sanniang's voice came from behind at the same time.

"Okay, this is quite appropriate."

Yan Qing immediately took out a jade token, put it in the man's hand and said, "Take this jade token and go to the back to get ten taels of silver, let's go back first."

The man was very excited, "Then this is... okay? My sister is going to be a concubine?"

"It's only tentative, and the emperor has to take a look."

"Yes, it should."

Immediately, the jade card came out, and I went there with great gratitude.

"Next!"

Yan Qing's voice sounded, but when she saw the person walking in, she immediately said in surprise: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Then he bowed and saluted.

After all, he had been with Lu Junyi before, so he knew the etiquette. He knew that Hu Qian could no longer be as casual as before when he became the emperor.

But Lu Zhishen and Wu Song didn't care about this, and said carelessly: "Brother, why didn't you say something when you came."

When the people in line behind heard that it was the emperor, their expressions changed drastically in fright.

Especially the few people who forcibly stopped Hu Qian from going in before, were so frightened that they almost sat on the ground.

The news of the emperor's arrival spread immediately, and even the guards standing guard at the gate knew about it.

But the two of them didn't dare to come over, because they had a bad premonition in their hearts - maybe the dwarf before was the emperor.

No wonder he said he was new here.

Naturally, Hu Qian didn't care about anything with them, but walked up to sit down, looked at the people and said, "You guys really have nothing to do, how can you choose a concubine for me?"

Yan Qing and Lu Zhishen immediately looked at Wu Song when they heard this.

As if it had nothing to do with him.

Wu Songdao: "Didn't my elder brother agree to it last night, otherwise how dare I choose a concubine for my elder brother without authorization."

Hu Qian said: "When did I agree? I was...forget it last night. It's useless to talk about it. Now the whole city of Nanjing knows that I am choosing a concubine."

"I'm also worried about my brother.

Although we are all rough people, we also heard that if there is no queen in the harem, the world will be in chaos. At that time, things like fighting for power and throne will happen. Wouldn't it be even more troublesome at that time. "

"Yeah, big brother should decide on the queen earlier, and then give birth to a few princes. If the matter is finalized earlier, we can drink and compete every day, or we can go out to fight. If we continue to be idle like this, we will definitely drive people crazy."

"Yeah, the account of the Jinren prisoner has not been settled yet, plus there were people from Xixia and other first-class halls who came to Mount Tai to make troubles, and that Dali, wouldn't it be easier for us to settle them all together. "

"Brother, let's set off after you finish the affairs of the harem, how about?"

A few people said something to each other, as if they were already on the way to ride a horse.

Hu Qian said: "We will discuss the matter of the expedition later, and the matter of choosing a concubine must be stopped immediately."

Hu Sanniang and Sun Erniang also came out from behind, and said, "Brother, this family has come all over the place, if they drive us away, wouldn't it ruin our reputation.

The common people will definitely say that the emperor did not keep his word, and that the Wu Song brothers are not kind, which is hard to say. "

Hu Sanniang also said: "Yes, uncle, you can't drive people away, besides, I have already selected four for you later."

Hu Qian felt dizzy for a while, and then waved his hands and said, "Okay, call out all the remaining women, and I'll see for myself. If it's okay, I'll stay, if it's not, forget it, and then end it quickly."

Wu Songdao: "Okay, let's choose and choose. Maybe it doesn't suit the elder brother's mind at all. It is naturally the best that the elder brother can choose by himself."

So Yan Qing shouted: "Everyone who is queuing up outside, come in."

A group of men and women outside immediately walked in.

Seeing Hu Qian, one of them bowed quickly, and the rest immediately learned from him.

Although I have heard of Hu Qian's prestige before, I was still very excited when I saw it.

Especially the two who stopped Hu Qian before.

Hu Qian pointed to the black cloth curtain and said, "Where are the recruited women?"

Yan Qing said: "After all, some of them are not out of the cabinet, so it is inconvenient to show their faces."

Hu Sanniang said: "On the other hand, it also prevents some people from mixing in, with malicious intentions."

Hu Qian was taken aback, "Aren't they all recruited here? Why do you have any unruly intentions?"

Hu Sanniang said: "If there are assassins, they will generally not be girls from a good family, so no family members brought them, and it is impossible to tell the history. We will let them go back directly."

Hu Qian nodded, "Let them come out."

Yan Qing said to the men and women below: "Hand over your daughters and stand by your side."

A group of people immediately shouted at the black curtain.

Not a moment later, a crowd of Yingying and Yanyan came out one after another.

It's really fat, swallows and thin, and they are all different.

Most of the people had never been out of the house, so after a quick glance, they quickly stood beside their family members.

After standing still, Hu Qian said: "The family members take two steps back."

When the group retreated, those women immediately appeared in his eyes.

There are not a few people with beautiful features, some with good figures, and one or two with both.

However, his gaze was immediately placed on one of the women, and he asked, "What's your name?"

"I……"

Just as the woman opened her mouth, she suddenly flicked her wrist, and then a stone hit her.

After all, Hu Qian has the supernatural power of leaping rocks, so although he was close at hand, he still dodged in one go.

"boom!"

The stone pierced through the table behind and hit a hole in the ground before stopping.

Hu Qian narrowed his eyes, and before the woman released the second hidden weapon, he flashed up to her and grabbed her with both hands.
