104.My special someone

It rains in June, the water under the green screen window sinks with smoke, and the sound of chess frightens people who sleep during the day.

When Chu Xujun woke up, he smelled the freshness after the rain and saw water drops under the eaves, sparse but constant.

The storm and rain at this time are naturally cleaner and pollution-free than in later generations, and the air in the house is smooth...

But yesterday's competition venue was originally a dirt floor. After a rain, I thought the smell there would be even stronger and more unpleasant today.

The infrastructure in ancient times was far inferior to that of later generations. There were brick and cement asphalt roads everywhere. Even in a place like Zhen'an County in Zhongzhou, with beautiful mountains and rivers, in Chu Xujun's eyes, it was considered pristine right out of the gate.

At first, Chu Xujun thought she was going out to "travel" and get along well with nature. In essence, she could gradually get used to not having a bathroom, water, electricity, and mobile phone, but she couldn't always go out on mountain roads, waterways, and dirt roads.

When will Zhu Qi ascend the throne and when will the war end? She really wants to get out the cement and start urban construction.

Otherwise, as soon as cement is poured and war breaks out, we will be back to before liberation overnight.

Now all I can do is cook. The people should be fed first, and then think about other things after surviving.

Tofu and ice are just a small step for her. Her system has already begun to stock up on various crops, herb seeds, seedlings, and corresponding agricultural knowledge.

She just has to wait until the marriage is agreed, then she can let go and start focusing on her career.

As for the future partner, it's best if he supports it, but if he doesn't support it, just keep it a secret.

However, in Chu Xujun's subconscious mind, she felt for no reason that if that person was Wei Ling, he would support her.

The road conditions were not good, so Chu Xujun staggered and thought wildly along the way.

After the rain, it did not stop people from the city from coming to participate in the fun (gossip).

This summer's competition may still be mentioned by the people many years from now.

When we arrived at our destination, I have to say that the nobles were still decent. The entire competition venue was temporarily paved with wide wooden boards to prevent everyone from being unable to walk.

The arena in particular is decorated with more festive red gauze curtains and decorations. Different from the tense and testing atmosphere yesterday, today is like "eating a banquet". Everyone is dressed grandly and beautifully, chatting politely up and down, with faces on their faces. It's all smiles.

"Have you ever heard of what a lottery ticket is?"

"Is that important? Isn't it more important if someone is already quick and comes to the door?"

"Oh, did you hear who reached the deal?"

"Why not? Li Lin in the east, Zhang Liu in the west, Chen Wu in the north...that's a lot."

"Oh, there are so many..."

"Isn't that right? But the most sought-after ones are the ones at the top of the list. Many people have gone to the man's and woman's families, including the Xu family of the prison officer."

"Who doesn't dislike that old girl so much?" "Hey, who hit me?"

"Maybe something has fallen out in the countryside. The most ridiculous thing is that the Xu family refused. They...hey, who kicked my leg?"

Chu Xujun was sitting on the stage, moving her hands constantly, and the automatic aiming combined with the few peanuts hidden in her sleeves worked very well.

These people can chat and gossip, but they can avoid slandering others.

She is not someone who cares about winnings, but Chu Xujun guessed that Xu Qingqing would want to see her again. She hasn't come yet, maybe it's related to these rumors.

As for why she came to the ring so early, it was because no matter where she went, there were strange young men or strange old women coming up to her: "Madam of the Chu family, I am xx. I came to propose marriage yesterday. Look at our xx How's it going? When will you give me an accurate message so that we can hurry up and look for auspicious days... Our family will be kind to you. Hahaha, you look so good. It's best to have two in three years. That would be great... …”

Chu Xujun: ...not beautiful in appearance, but beautiful in thought.

There was really no other way, so I came to the arena where only the winners could come up, and it was quiet for a while.

The rest of the people were basically "socializing" downstairs, having a heated fight with each other.

Chu Xujun listened to the gossip and ignored other people's sideways glances. Time passed quickly.

When it was about to start, Wei Ling and Zhu Qi arrived late together.

Chu Xujun glanced at it and looked away.

The ancients accepted the prize, unlike later variety shows. The men and women came forward one by one in reverse order of the same name. The "award-giving guest" was all Prince Zhen.

This arrangement was quite tight, and the other little girls didn't have time to come over to find fault with Chu Xujun after they came on stage.

The colorful heads are all placed on lacquered red engraved plates. From the Four Treasures of the Study, gold, silver, jade, to Ruyi ornaments, they all look good.

Men and women came forward and knelt down to pay homage to Prince Zhen. After listening to what he said, he asked everyone except his sons Zhao Xin and Zhao Cheng if they had anyone they liked and whether they would like to come and have a good time. It felt a bit like a "mass wedding".

Most of them are just polite words, with or without a casual answer, and no one will really care about it in such an occasion.

The people in the audience watched with excitement and applauded from time to time.

When he arrived at Zhu Qi, Mrs. Xu Sanniang did not come, so he came forward alone.

Prince Zhen still had the same question: "Brother Zhu Xian, how are you? Do you have a little girl you like?"

Zhu Qi looked at the rose-colored girl standing neatly aside, smiled lightly, and shook his head.

Prince Zhen's expression froze for a moment, then returned to his usual smile: "Brother Zhu Xian's eyes are still high, let's look at it again, look at it again."

The audience suddenly became more lively, everyone stretched out their hands and shouted: "Master Zhu, Master Zhu..."

Zhu Qi quietly stepped aside.

In this way, it was time for Wei Ling and Chu Xujun, who were at the top of the list, to take the stage together.

Based on the reputation of the two of them, the audience was in a frenzy with loud shouts. The woman called "Wei Ling", "Mr. Xu Feng" and "General Wei", and the man called "The eldest lady of the Chu family" and "the eldest lady"...

The two parties still disliked each other, and occasionally exchanged words, and the situation was out of control for a while.

The judges and judges on the stage worked hard to maintain the situation, and it took a long time to calm down.

Chu Xujun received the lucky draw, which was a gold rose and pearl crown. Unexpectedly, she liked it very much.

It is quite heavy when held in the hand, which shows the sincerity of gold. The roses are small and compact, but each one has its own posture and is clearly visible. The stamens are made of pearls, which are small and crystal clear, exquisite and beautiful. The rose and pearls are perfectly integrated in the design.

Unique craftsmanship.

Prince Zhen looked at her: "The eldest lady of the Chu family is discerning. This golden crown is the princess's. When the princess comes, she can wear it too."

"My little daughter, thank you, Your Majesty."

"Hey! How about it? Does the eldest lady of the Chu family come here to find someone she likes?"

Chu Xujun held the golden crown, felt the joyful weight, and nodded shyly.

There was another commotion in the audience.

Wei Ling stepped forward and received his prize, which was a fancy gem dagger. He took it calmly.

Prince Zhen smiled kindly and still asked the same question.
