I go! The draft selection is actually in front of us! Yan Xiaoshu was shocked as never before.
It feels like I am participating in a costume drama!
The people in the carriage they came back from the market were actually only Yan Xiaosu, a female family member, and the others were all men.
So according to what the official official said, the others should go back first, while Yan Xiaoshu stays.
Yan Dazhu immediately disagreed. Seeing that Yan Xiaoshu was a little anxious, his face changed.
Yan Xiaoshu herself was not willing to stay. She was curious about the emperor's draft, but she was not curious enough to get involved with him. She just happened to go out and got mud all over her face, which made her a little embarrassed.
Yan Xiaoshu then boldly said to Guan Cha: "Master Guan Cha, I just came back from the market. My body still smells like fish, and my face is covered with dust. Standing here will affect your mood. So, I Go back and freshen up first, and then come with the other sisters in the fishing village to choose for you, what do you think?"
As Yan Xiaoshu approached, the officials did smell the strong fishy smell on her body. Thinking that they couldn't escape in the fishing village anyway, they waved to Yan Xiaoshu in the bathroom, "Okay, get out of here, I'll give it to you in the fishing village." After one stick of incense, I will take a roster and count all the female relatives in the fishing village. If anyone is not included, I will execute the crime of bullying the emperor on the spot and kill them without mercy!"
When the officer gave such an order, everyone was scared to death. Some of the people who went back together were unsteady and fell to the ground without center of gravity.
Yan Dazhu was also very frightened, his legs and feet were weak, and his expression was not right when he and Yan Xiaoshu went home.
"Brother Yan, what are you afraid of?" Yan Xiaoshu asked before he remembered.
Yan Xinlan!
Yan Xinlan's face is the type that looks very cute and comfortable. There is really no one in the entire fishing village who can compare with Yan Xinlan.
If this official selection is based on appearance, then this time it has to be Yan Xinlan.
No one wants to send their daughter to the palace to be a rough maid, let alone a hopeless maid, because they have no money and no power. Besides, there are so many beauties in the world, and Yan Xinlan is not particularly good-looking in comparison. , there is no way out of the palace.
No wonder Yan Dazhu is so anxious.
When they returned to Yan's house, Sister Hong and Yan Xinlan had obviously heard about the draft. They were huddled at home and trembling with fear. Yan Xinlan was hiding in Sister Hong's arms and crying sadly.
Sister Hong and Yan Xinlan were still a little surprised by Yan Xiaoshu's return, but this surprise was quickly overshadowed by sadness.
Sister Hong pulled Yan Dazhu, "Dazhu, what should we do? If Xinlan is really chosen, half of my life will be gone. I don't want her to leave me!" Sister Hong was heartbroken.
Yan Dazhu had no choice but to stand and walk around the house, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper, unable to find a solution.
Soon, a stick of incense passed, and the official began to beat the gongs and drums to urge the beautiful ladies to come over and screen them.
"Brother, brother, please think of a way. I don't want to go. I don't want to enter the palace. I heard it's terrible there. Some people will eat people. I will definitely die if I go there. I still want to stay with my mother. Brother, you Think of a way!" Yan Xinlan cried until her whole body was shaking, her fear had reached the extreme.
Yan Xiaoshu stood aside, not knowing what to say or how to persuade, because she didn't pay any attention to this helpless situation.
Feudal society is like this, there is no respect for human rights at all, and official coercion happens every day.
But what can be done? This is the primary stage of human civilization and is the norm.
Yan Xiaoshu could only watch the Yan family of three hugging each other, crying and saying they didn't want to, and she couldn't bear to watch it.
At this time, Sister Hong suddenly looked at Yan Xiaoshu who was standing aside.
Yan Xiaoshu was startled by her look. He lowered his head and looked at himself, "Sister Hong... you, what's wrong with you?"
"Miss Yan." Sister Hong listened to the sound of gongs outside, walked towards Yan Xiaoshu, and said to her: "How has our Yan family treated you recently?"
Yan Xiaoshu didn't know what she meant by suddenly asking, but he still nodded, "You are all very good to me."
"Then are you willing to marry our Dazhu now?"
Yan Xiaoshu felt that her question was a bit sudden, and he had denied it before. Yan Xiaoshu shook his head, "Sister Hong, I have to leave sooner or later. I can't stay in the fishing village for the rest of my life."
"Okay." Sister Hong nodded, "In that case, can you take Xinlan's place in the palace?"
"What did you say?" Yan Xiaoshu stared at Sister Hong in shock, "Sister Hong, I am not from a fishing village. I don't need to take on your draft task."
"I don't care!" Sister Hong's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Anyway, I'll give you two choices now. You can either marry our Dazhu, or you can replace Xinlan in the palace!"
Yan Xiaoshu suddenly felt that Sister Hong was a little confused and unreasonable, "Sister Hong, what I owe you will be repaid to you through other methods, but not this. I don't want to marry Dazhu, nor do I want to enter the palace." Yan Xiaoshu Just make it clear.
"That's not okay!" Sister Hong suddenly became cruel and ran over to lock them up. She shouted to Yan Dazhu: "Dazhu! Haven't you always liked Miss Yan very much? Now I'll give you a chance. She is now It’s yours, you can do whatever you want to her, whatever you want!”
Yan Xiaoshu suddenly panicked. Sister Hong changed too quickly. She lost her mind for her daughter. Yan Xiaoshu couldn't help but look to Yan Dazhu for help, hoping that he would not be carried away. At the same time, Yan Xiaoshu also looked at Yan Xinlan and asked for help.
But there is always a golden saying in this world, which tells people not to serve themselves, and they will be punished by heaven and earth.
This matter is closely related to Yan Xinlan. She can give her new clothes to Yan Xiaoshu without hesitation, or she can allow Yan Xiaoshu to leave the house without giving anything in return, but she cannot bear to be trapped in that cold palace for the rest of her life. People are bullied until they die alone.
So Yan Xinlan just looked at Yan Xiaoshu, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and did not stop Sister Hong.
Among the three members of the Yan family, only Yan Dazhu is hesitant. He wants to get Yan Xiaoshu, but he doesn't want her to be wronged. He feels very uncomfortable now.
Seeing Yan Dazhu's hesitation, Sister Hong shouted: "Dazhu, you have to know that you only have this chance in this life! The woman you like is right in front of you. Maybe you will never meet the woman you like so much again. Aren't you sad to see her go? Go ahead, she's right in front of you, she's yours now."
Sister Hong's words seemed like a Pharaoh's spell, tempting Yan Dazhu to approach Yan Xiaoshu step by step.
There is no doubt that Yan Dazhu wants Yan Xiaoshu. When Sister Hong said, "She is yours now," the string in Yan Dazhu's mind broke.
