Three hundred and eightieth chapters take a gamble
But, you need to know who is the backbone of the palace? It’s Shopkeeper Wang. Who owns the Wang family’s businesses all over the city? It’s Shopkeeper Wang.
If this woman was just selected into the palace, the palace would be depressed for a while. As soon as his daughter got married, the whole family would be filled with joy and sorrow. Magistrate Zhao felt distressed just thinking about it.
Furthermore, most of the shops in the county have lost their backbone for a while, and the economy of Zigui County will definitely drop a lot. Maybe some shops will close down, and the number of unemployed people, beggars, and quarrels will increase.
The number of fights will inevitably increase, and he will be busy with official duties all day long, unable to interact with others, and very irritable.
Therefore, no matter from what point of view, for himself and his daughter, he must try his best to prevent Shopkeeper Wang from being selected!
Another advantage of him coming here to help is that he can sell a favor to the Wang family and enhance the relationship between the two families. They will also treat Yanran better because they are grateful to him. In both emotional and logical reasons, he should go through this.
"Oh, we know this, and we are worried about this now. What should we do? But thank you for your hard work, my parents. Come on, bring some chairs and invite some guests to sit down.
." Wang Rang replied in a low voice. Even if the last sentence was an order to the servants, there was no confidence in the order, as if he had read a sentence stiffly.
The boys immediately took action and quickly moved a few chairs and placed them behind Magistrate Zhao and his entourage.
County Magistrate Zhao sat down peacefully, and then continued: "My relatives, don't sigh all the time. I thought about this for a long time today, and finally came up with a way. I will tell you this way.
If you succeed, you can protect the king and shopkeeper from this disaster."
Finally getting to the point, Magistrate Zhao could clearly feel the intense eyes from all directions in the dining room focusing on him one by one.
"Speak quickly." After hearing that there was a way, Haoyue immediately recovered his language skills, and regardless of Yanran who was still beside him, he anxiously shouted in a commanding tone.
County Magistrate Zhao trembled slightly. He never thought that Haoyue would suddenly say these words with such power at this time. He couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He was originally sitting with the arrogant attitude of a 'great hero', but now
Shi Quan was shocked to death by Haoyue's words.
Not daring to delay any longer, he immediately replied: "My solution is: Shopkeeper Wang will not go out these days, and stay in his boudoir. He will not travel normally until Eunuch Chen leaves our Zigui County for seven days. This is
Although it’s been a bit difficult for a while
, but after getting over it, Shopkeeper Wang will be fine. At that time, as long as the in-laws allow Shopkeeper Wang to marry before the emperor's next selection of girls, there will be no need to worry about this kind of thing in the future." Tell me the method.
, this is what County Magistrate Zhao has already drafted in his heart.
"Then isn't it okay for us to marry Haoyue before Eunuch Chen comes to our county?" Wang Rangti asked and glanced at Shen Chen.
After hearing this, Shen Chen nodded and looked at Magistrate Zhao with blazing eyes. Haoyue and Shen Chen had exactly the same reaction.
"No!" County Magistrate Zhao said in a higher tone, "The rules of our Han Dynasty are that after the emperor puts up a notice to select the female talents, until the emperor sends the emperor to select the female talents and returns to the palace, during this period, no women of the right age are allowed to marry anywhere.
They all have to wait until the people sent by the Holy Spirit are selected.
Only then can you remarry. Anyone who violates the order is equivalent to contempt of the court, which is a serious crime against the nine clans!" Although he is a small county magistrate, he is still an official of the court. He knows more about court etiquette than someone like the Wang family.
There are many ordinary people and many details.
After hearing what County Magistrate Zhao said, Wang Rang couldn't help but sigh again, "Alas."
He lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said in a low tone: "Then it seems that for the present, the only way is the one my in-laws said. Haoyue, you can go back to your room after dinner later.
You can rest well in your room for a while, and don’t worry, everyone will help you not to be selected."
After giving instructions to his daughter, he saw her hanging her head at some point, looking frustrated. Seeing her nod, Wang Rang let out another sigh, "Alas!"
Haoyue didn't know how she returned to the room in the end. She vaguely remembered that after her father sent Magistrate Zhao away, he told everyone to disperse and asked herself to go back to her room. It seemed that at that time, she went back to her room obediently.
Bar.
However, those are not important now. What is important is that nothing seems to be important anymore. Several large boxes placed on the ground in the middle of the room were also ignored by Haoyue. After entering the room, he walked towards the bed. Lying down.
Fallen, dazed, and then, there is no more.
She didn't know what she was thinking about. She seemed to be thinking about everything and nothing at all, because she couldn't remember anything she thought about. Before she knew it, her eyes were tired and she closed them.
.
In their farewell sorrow, the Feng siblings, who had been waiting for the bright moon to arrive in the courtyard behind, did not know about the talent show. However, seeing that it was getting late, they knew that they could not wait for the bright moon.
During the meal, the two siblings still ate slowly in front of each other. But this meal, neither of them were in a good mood.
At first, both of them thought that Haoyue would come tonight, but they didn't expect anyone. Feng Xianer's heart was full of sadness, and she had a feeling of being forgotten. Feng Li felt a little empty in her heart.
, and a touch of disappointment. For some reason, he really wanted to see that lovely person today, but the fact was that he didn't.
The two siblings, one with chopsticks and the other with chopsticks, ate slowly and neither of them seemed to have much appetite. In the end, neither of them ate much, so they stopped quickly and asked someone to take it away.
This night may be destined to be filled with sadness.
The next day, Haoyue didn't know how she got through yesterday. Anyway, the sun rose as soon as she opened her eyes, and she got through the next day. Still in a daze, Xiao Tao brought in food, and she ate it numbly. As for eating
She didn't know how much she ate or whether she really ate it.
In the palace, although everyone was immersed in a sad atmosphere, three people were not at home. At this time, they were running around Zigui County.
According to the idea given by County Magistrate Zhao last night, Shen Chen, Shen Hu, and Wang Xin left home early in the morning. They were divided into three groups and ran around every corner of the county. They threatened and lured anyone they met.
Move it with emotion. No matter what, you just want that person to agree that when the father-in-law of the talent show girl arrives in Zigui County, he will never mention 'Shopkeeper Wang' or anything related to her, and you won't be able to say even a single word about her.
!
County Magistrate Zhao said last night that it is one thing that Haoyue does not go out, but there is no guarantee that some people who are watching the excitement will mention Shopkeeper Wang. If they talk about it, it is impossible to guarantee that Eunuch Chen will chase Haoyue home when he has nothing to do.
If you look good, you will definitely not be able to escape this disaster.
Therefore, for the present plan, they can only work harder and try their best to silence everyone in the county. But County Magistrate Zhao is also an official after all, and cannot openly post or announce such things, which is tantamount to blatant If you go against the emperor, you will also punish the nine clans, so these things can only be done by the Wang family. However, according to the current scope of power of the Wang family, this trivial matter should not be a problem.
So early in the morning, the three grown men had a clear division of labor.
Shen Chen is responsible for notifying all the shops under his command about this matter, Shen Hu is responsible for the east and north parts of the city where the Wang family's influence cannot reach, and Wang Xin is responsible for the west and south parts. The three of them have decided that no matter what method they use, The purpose must be achieved, and if it really doesn't make sense, use violence to solve it. This is what County Magistrate Zhao told them. He will protect them secretly and do it without hesitation!
However, things went as smoothly as the three expected. The people in the city were all sensible. As long as the three of them explained the seriousness of the situation or sounded pitiful, most of the people were good people. The only ones who decisively agreed were a few people who wanted some money. However, the most important thing the Wang family lacked was money, and the hush money and other things were all given in full, and it was guaranteed.
Everything was going smoothly. Every day when Wang and Yanran listened to their son or husband-in-law telling them about the situation when they came home, they felt a little relieved and no longer shed tears like they did a few days ago. Already.
Everything seems to be developing for the better. All of this is just waiting for Eunuch Chen to arrive and leave after selecting the beautiful girls.
One night, Haoyue finished her dinner like a puppet. When she went back to bed, she temporarily forgot about the wooden boxes that had been placed in the room for many days. She was accidentally disturbed by them and almost fell down.
Looking down, she seemed to have remembered something. She vaguely remembered that that day, she was originally going to give gifts to Feng Xianer and apologize. But now, she couldn't go out for the time being.
"Alas." A low sigh was heard, which was also the first sound Haoyue made in the past few days. Staring at the box, Haoyue was in a trance for some reason, and her mind was filled with Feng Xian'er and Feng Li.
Wait, she seemed to have thought of a safer way, but she just needed to take a gamble. Haoyue's eyes lit up, she turned and sat next to the desk, picked up the pen and started writing on a piece of paper.
This letter is her hope. She is betting on whether Fengli has her in his heart. She is really not sure, very uncertain. But she still decides to make a desperate bet at this moment. Bundle!
In the letter, Haoyue bluntly stated her feelings for Fengli all along, and asked him if he was willing to elope with her and leave Zigui County. They would get married as soon as the draft was over, okay?
Chapter completed!
