Chapter 247
Chapter 247
In the elegant and clean house, the breeze slipped in from the window, teasing the thin blue and gray curtains in the room.
The beauty at the desk was still thinking, and Wu Shancang, the son of Captain Wu, had already walked in with a plate of steaming sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
When he was outside the house, he still walked in a hurry, but when he entered the room, he slowed down, with an elegant demeanor that matched the bookish look of the beauty.
"My lord, look what I brought!"
Wu Shancang said like a treasure, this is the soft glutinous osmanthus cake just made by the master chef in the kitchen. As soon as it came out of the pan, he picked the most beautiful and delicious two slices: the rice-white cake is decorated with a few fragrant stars in the center. Osmanthus is simply the sweetest taste of autumn.
He put this plate of exquisite pastries in the corner of the desk, and the beauty could take it with her hand.
Seeing this, Qiao Yu closed the poem and book, and smiled as warmly as jade, which made the excited eyes of the book boy who had been with him for a few days shine brightly: "Shancang, I'm sorry."
Although he is a book boy in name, he is the son of Colonel Wu who has helped him a lot after all. He can't order others with peace of mind. In addition to thanking him, he usually persuades this young man who is similar to his age to study more.
He could hear Colonel Wu complaining that this youngest son was spoiled since he was a child, and he couldn't bear the hardship of learning martial arts, so he hoped to read more books, and after a few years he would be able to recommend him to be a petty official.
At present, if you want to be an official, you still have to rely on the recommendation of nobles or officials, even Qiao Yousi, who has the eyes of the sky, is no exception.
However, this situation changed after Zhou Tianzi ruled the world. A selection of virtuous imperial decrees gave countless poor families a chance to stand out without having to cling to the nobles.
The thoughts in the beauty's mind just flashed by.
At that time, he stretched out his chopsticks and tore off a small piece of osmanthus cake. Before putting it in his mouth, he felt the power of the golden osmanthus. The sweet and greasy scent of osmanthus almost infiltrated every sense.
But it tastes good, slightly sweet but not greasy, and the lips and teeth are fragrant.
"Shancang, sit down and eat together. By the way, have you read the anthology I gave you yesterday, ahem, and poetry?"
Some sickly beauties asked after clearing their mouths with tea, their plain white fingertips were almost more translucent than the teacup, almost bloodless.
Wu Shancang standing beside him had slightly plump cheeks, and his chubby face was as delicate as a full moon. Looking at it made him feel joyful. Hearing this, he was immediately full of energy and said, "My lord, I read two pages of the ci book."
Just two pages?The tone was a little proud.
Qiao Yu also saw that the other party really didn't like reading books, so he took out an anthology from the bookshelf, and said, "Which two pages? Cough, memorize it and listen to it."
The two books he chose to read for Wu Shancang were both enlightening and practical books that he found over the years, and he knew everything on each page by heart.
What? ?back?Why don't you just take a look? !
Wu Shancang, who was unprepared, was caught off guard, and as soon as he rolled his dark eyes, he casually talked about outside affairs to divert the beauty's attention.
"My lord, let's talk about the endorsement later? I just heard about a big event!"
"Oh? What's the matter."
The beauty looked at him leisurely, and her aura instantly made the young man dream back to the serious teacher in his childhood.
"Yes, it is His Majesty!"
Wu Shancang took a few steps towards the beauty without any guilt, and whispered all the military information he had overheard from his father.
"The state of Zheng has been destroyed. I heard that His Majesty is going to visit the capital of the State of Zheng recently. Many nobles from the old Zheng are holding a beauty pageant with great fanfare, and want to present themselves to His Majesty."
"But they are all dreaming! My father said that His Majesty is devoted to government affairs and has no mood for love. He doesn't even accept the sachet of the most beautiful woman in the capital, and even uses the vacant harem to farm and fish!"
"The country of Zheng, which has been destroyed, can have any outstanding beauties?"
"Oh, no, of course, except for the young master!"
Wu Shancang added.
He subconsciously drew the young master out of the scope of the state of Zheng, and even the human world. He was already used to serving this fairy beauty as a real fairy.
Qiao Yu didn't care, but just laughed a little: he remembered the book about the beauty offering this time.
The protagonist Qiao Yousi originally wanted to gain more power by offering beauty or dedicating himself, and there were open and secret struggles with other nobles in the middle.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Zhou Tianzi accepted all the beauties who had passed through thousands of selections, and then put them all to work in workshops, farms, forest farms, fishing grounds, etc. Where you can choose by yourself, and you will be paid every ten days, it can be said that you don’t know the style and make the best use of everything!
There are also beauties with special talents. For example, Qiao Yousi entered the imperial court because he was good at knowing people, and he was able to sing and dance into the palace music workshop, and he was able to enter the poetry club with both talents and so on.
In short, no one guessed that Zhou Tianzi would do this, especially when he chose some beauties with deep breasts to enter the court, which aroused many people's objections: How could he recommend talents so recklessly? !This is something only nobles can do.
However, Zhou Tianzi strongly stated with actions: My rules are rules.
This may also pave the way for a complete change in the way of selecting talents and appointing talents.
"This is a good opportunity..."
Qiao Yu touched Wenxuan lightly and said, since childhood, who doesn't have the expectation to show their ambitions?
Even if one's own strength is not as good as others', and one cannot win the favor of Zhou Tianzi to enter the court, one has to try one's best to live up to the good chance.
Fortunately, I haven't done any bad things, and I have a small income. Even if I compete with others, I won't be forced to work because of old cases or nowhere to go.
Qiao Yu thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good time to be promoted, and she could meet Qiao Yousi on the way, so that she could expose the disguised identity of her uncle's family and prevent the fake Qiao Yu from meeting the Jingmen Chu family in the future.
one stone two bird.
"A good chance... Young Master, do you want to run for the election?"
Wu Shancang's eyes widened. If the young master participated in the beauty show, what would happen to other nobles?As soon as such a stunning and unprecedented beauty appeared on the stage, she didn't immediately win His Majesty's heart.
It's not that he underestimated His Majesty, at most half a moment after meeting, His Majesty has to chase after the beauty with all his heart!
After hearing this, the young man didn't feel that the beauty was trying to flatter the king opportunistically, but he kept gurgling sour lemonade from the bottom of his mouth: How is your majesty so lucky? !I also want to have such a magnificent beauty come to my door!
"Yes, do you know which nobleman has not yet chosen?"
"I've never heard of this."
Wu Shancang shook his head and then pursed his lips and gritted his teeth. Looking at the beauty's thoughtful face, he said in a low voice, "But my lord, my father is the only school lieutenant under the general. Your Majesty will definitely summon you when you come down."
"If you want, he can recommend it directly to His Majesty." That way, you don't have to vote with others.
The boy who ate the lemon invisibly thought that he could help the beauty, and he couldn't help being happy, and his mood was very complicated.
"I see. Alright Shancang, don't gossip, just endorse."
Qiao Yu was going to visit Captain Wu in the afternoon, but there was no rush now, let's see how Shancang's reading was.
The beauty with a flimsy skin and a beautiful face, opened the anthology with one hand, and looked at the boy leisurely.
"Ha, haha, son..."
The young man was so embarrassed that he wanted to bury himself. After talking nonsense, he swore to God that he would study hard in the future.
Outside the window, the autumn wind is still there, and the scent of cinnamon is long.
