    This time, Cui Manxiu arranged for the selection of beautiful ladies in Jiaozhou to be in the city, in a courtyard not far from the Jiangling City Government Office.

    Firstly, the two father-in-laws who are chamberlains in the palace must arrange their residences properly, and secondly, a bunch of pre-eminent women who have come for the draft are placed in the palace office for fear of attracting criticism.

    Aunt Zhao¡¯s daughter Su Zhen was the first group, mostly tenant farmers and merchants, and had the largest number of people, so it lasted for three days and divided into four or five groups to enter the yard.

    This time, Su Mi found a back-door candidate. He was in the same group as Jiaozhou County officials and the daughters of big and small landowners. There were only a small number of people, so they were only divided into two groups: morning and afternoon. Su Mi was arranged in the afternoon.

    Outside the pale pink high wall, the Su family's carriage parked quietly under the shadow of an old tree. The surrounding area was empty, which was in sharp contrast to the crowd of sedans, carriages and horses gathered not far away.

    In the carriage, there was an ice lamp as usual. Su Mi was wearing a jade-colored flowered skirt. She leaned forward slightly, and the bumpy figure that was inadvertently revealed made Chunmei blush a little.

    Su Mi held the table with one hand, and with the other hand, she picked up the pastries on the table and put them into her mouth. These were regarded as her lunch.

    "Miss, is it hot or not?" Chunmei held a white silk round fan in her hand and fanned gently.

    "It's not hot. I brought an ice cup under the shade of the tree. It's not hot at all." Su Mi held a piece of cloud cake with pink fingertips and brought it to Chunmei's mouth, "Ah¡ª¡ª"

    Chunmei opened her mouth in embarrassment and reached out to take it, "Thank you, Miss."

    "I want you to eat with me, but you refuse."

    "I'm afraid the lady won't have enough to eat." Chunmei took a few bites and swallowed. She was actually a little hungry, but she didn't know she would have to wait for half a day when she came out, so she brought less.

    Su Mi looked at Chunmei's devouring look, pushed over the half-left pastry, and said with a smile: "Chunmei, I can't eat any more."

    "Thank you, miss."

    Su Mi opened the curtain and looked at the place opposite which seemed to be very lively.

    Chunmei took a bite of the pastry and glanced in Su Mi's direction, "Miss, this is all my fault. They asked me which official lady I was from, so I told them."

    "When those people heard that her master was in business, they deliberately left their carriage here alone and refused to be together.

    "Isn't that better? It's cooler here, and it's under the sun over there. It's not us who suffer."

    Chunmei originally looked aggrieved, but when Su Mi told her, she felt much happier.

    Although the current dynasty had few restrictions on merchants, and the sons of merchants could even obtain honors, the people still adhered to the traditions of their predecessors, and merchants were considered inferior.  The Su family is also a well-known wealthy businessman in Jiaozhou, with a slightly higher status. Small traders and the like have a more difficult time surviving.

    From time to time, the first group of women would come out. It was not until noon that the first group of women were finally screened.

    Su Mi was helped out of the carriage by Chunmei. Chunmei held an umbrella and escorted her to the door. No maids were allowed inside, so she could only stand outside and wait.

    Su Mi smiled and waved, then turned around and followed the flow of people around her inside. All the ladies were wearing silk hats, and they didn't take them off until they entered the courtyard gate and placed them on the spacious stone platform on the side.

    Most of the others were in twos and threes, and they were familiar with each other. Su Mi stood alone at the end, happy and quiet. She looked around. The yard was large, open and clean. The open space where they stood happened to be opposite several large blue-tiled houses with simple decorations.  It doesn't look like there are any fireworks.

    After a while, a man in blue silk clothes walked out of a large blue-tiled house in the middle.  His face was fair and thin, and he looked past his prime, but he didn't need a beard.

    He stood in front of a group of women who came to audition, put his fist on his mouth, coughed a few times, and then said:

    "Ladies and gentlemen, our Eunuch Cao, who is the chamberlain's supervisor, please arrange the names according to the font sizes on the notes you had in hand this morning, so that we can take a closer look."

    His voice was a little soft, and the women below were moving and whispering.

    "I heard that the people in the inner chamber are all eunuchs and father-in-laws like him."

    "Eunuch? No wonder he has no beard."

    "Oh, sister Qiao, you still understand the difference between eunuchs and men."

    The woman who was called Qiao¡¯s sister was obviously blushing, ¡°It¡¯s different anyway, I don¡¯t know the rest.¡±

    Speaking of eunuchs, these women in the boudoir knew to some extent that they were different from ordinary men, but they probably knew a little about the difference, but they couldn't explain it clearly. The same was true for Su Mi.

    Very?, everyone lined up according to the order in their hands, forming five rows, with more than ten people in each row. Su Mi was at the end. Through the gap, you could see Eunuch Cao standing with his hands behind his hands.  The women looked around a few times, and some of the shorter ones had their name tags confiscated. This was probably because they were screened out.

    The yard was empty, with little shelter, and the afternoon sun was shining brightly. After a while, Su Mi's face turned red. Her skin was fair, and she looked pretty when she turned red. Others were not so lucky, and some of them wore thick makeup.  At this moment, he was embarrassed.

    "Who has a handkerchief? Can you lend me a handkerchief?" The voice of the woman who spoke was as crisp as a bell. Her eyes looked around. However, except for Su Mi, no one seemed to be looking at her. Also, who could do it in this situation?  I also want others to look good.

    Su Mi originally wanted to ignore it, but her eyes glanced everywhere. Under the heavy makeup, she saw a small face with bright eyes and white teeth. There were two pear holes in her smile. She was a lovely little girl.  He was probably younger than her, and his pitiful appearance made Su Mi feel weak.

    Su Mi took out a plain handkerchief from his sleeve and said, "Here you go."

    "Thank you." The little girl smiled and applied it twice randomly, but her face became even more stained.

    For some reason, Su Mi felt that she didn¡¯t want to be selected.

    ??Eunuch Cao looked at it slowly. The little girl was in the row in front of Su Mi. When it was her turn, Eunuch Cao looked at the signboard. Unlike before, where he only looked at it, he called out: "Zhang Yue'er."

    "Um."

    "pass."

    The man named Zhang Yue'er was instantly discouraged, lowering his head and fidgeting with the corners of his clothes.  Su Mi saw it from the corner of her eye and had a suspicion in her heart. If it was done so simply, it would have been cleared long ago, but it had nothing to do with her. After all, even she had found a back door.

    The screening within the courtyard walls is proceeding in an orderly manner.

    Outside the courtyard wall, Qin Yan had already gotten off the sedan, Feng Bao was holding an umbrella behind him, and Magistrate Cui stood aside with a flattering smile, barely holding up the hem of Qin Yan's robe.

    "Lord Governor, do you want to go down and report it?" The implication is of course that there is a grand ceremony for people to come and greet you.

    "No need, how can the emperor's affairs be slowed down because of me?"

    "Yes, the Governor is still thoughtful." Cui Manxiu flattered with a smile.

    Just when Qin Yan stepped into the courtyard door, it happened to be Su Mi's turn.

    Qin Yan looked at the woman wearing a light-colored floral skirt not far away. She had her head lowered, but he recognized her at a glance.

    It¡¯s not enough to meet once. This is the second meeting. She really knows how to choose the time.

    Jiaozhou is such a big city, how can it be called a coincidence that he met her twice?

    "Zhifu Cui asked me to come here just to see your careful arrangement?" Qin Yan said with a smile.

    He was naturally referring to Su Mi¡¯s whole drama and today¡¯s ¡®accidental encounter¡¯. Even Ling¡¯an didn¡¯t find out. Cui Manxiu had put a lot of thought into giving him a woman, and everything was flawless.

    "My lord, I can't call it meticulous, but I always do my best when I'm a low-ranking official." Cui Zhifu was very happy, and he really wanted the governor to come and have a look. No, the draft has brought out his ability.

    Qin Yan chuckled when he heard this, "Okay, let's go and have a look." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
