Even though Wei Zhao also shed a few tears every day, it was all fake crying. It was the same as playing ball and falling ball in modern times; everything had been arranged beforehand. She really didn't have many opportunities to truly cry. Unexpectedly, she was about to enter the palace, and this was a great opportunity. Her tears flowed out like she didn't want money, so she didn't cry out loud. Since she wasn't in the mood to care about her eyes, she wiped them off with the back of her hand.

The two of them sat on the brocade bed of the Eight Treasures Ruyi. The brocade bed was filled with small toys that were hurriedly found by Zhao Yun, but it was a pity that Wei Zhao was not in the mood at the moment.

Big Yellow felt as if his heart was melted by her tears. He froze for a second, then yelled, ”Someone come in.”

Lady Xue had sent Lan Xiang to take care of the two of them. When she heard their shouts, she immediately entered the house.

”Go, find the girl at home. It's best if someone who's 25 years old is called into the courtyard.”

As the eldest girl of Lady Xue, Lan Xiang was very efficient. Soon, she started talking back and forth.

Big Cloud got up and went to look first, but he saw that he was covered in cold sweat. Luckily, he came out first to take a look, otherwise these people would have drawn close to his cousin and said, ”Look, this is a woman of twenty-five years of age …” Cousin would definitely cry until she fainted.

There were four or five women standing in the yard, and they didn't look as young as Lady Xue. Sha Yun glanced at them worriedly, and didn't want to take a second look. Lan Xiang replied softly, ”Young Master, these are all hired locally, they work all year round, and are not as meticulous as the people in our house. On the other hand, the housekeeper who was with the madame was the first-rate servant girl, Zhou Jie. She was now twenty-two years old. She was at least a dozen years younger than them … ”

Big Yellow nodded his head, ”Okay, I'll take her. Call her over.” He then turned around and said to Lan Xiang, ”You can't call for these guys for nothing. Everyone will get a bonus pack.”

Orchid Fragrance agreed.

After a while, Zhou Jing's family came over. She had tied up her hair into a bun. It was unknown if Lan Xiang had mentioned it before, but she was wearing a light green summer shirt. She looked very capable and refreshing. Big Cloud nodded and beckoned her into the house.

Wei Zhao said, ”Cousin, twenty-five years old is also very young. This sister used to serve her mother, but her mother sent her away to marry,” Wei Zhao whispered in his ear, ”Look at her. When you're twenty-five, she'll definitely be thousands of times better than you.”

He straightened himself again and asked the Zhou family seriously, ”How old are you this year?”

Zhou Jing's family was extremely quick-witted. He replied, ”Your servant has passed the new year, and is now twenty-five years old.”

Wei Zhao then raised his eyes to look at her carefully.

Big Cloud nodded like a little adult, ”Yes, you're very good.” He said to Lan Xiang, ”Give her a red packet.” Inside the red envelope was a silver horn, which was several times better than the money in his pocket.

After listening to Lan Xiang's report, Madam Xue's face lit up. She clasped her hands and chanted a line of Bodhisattva blessing. Her son used to be depressed, but now that he was enlightened, she knew how to coax and control others.

Lady Xue was rather grateful to Wei Zhao.

At night, Big Cloud wanted to sleep with Wei Zhao.

The two of them together were no more than ten years old, so sleeping a little was not a big deal.

Zhao Yun and Wei Zhao were lying side by side. The two of them looked at each other, and both had a good expression on their faces, and then Zhao Yun whispered to Wei Zhao, ”Cousin, don't be scared. When you leave the palace at the age of twenty-five, I'll still be waiting for you, one of us.” After saying that, he blushed a little.

Wei Zhao wasn't as long-term or as deep as he'd thought. He was touched by his younger cousin's sincerity and nodded, ”Mm, thank you.”

He sold himself to thank others!

They called it a conscription reading partner, but not all of them were conscripted. Coincidentally, they were looking for it in the tax-free counties at noon, so the Du couple really couldn't say what it felt like.

When Mr. Qian entered the capital, he specially came to the Du Family to ask if he could bring Wei Zhao over?

Dusu was worried about Li Zhengzheng, so Mr. Qian said, ”It's fine, I'll just go and inform them.”

In the past few days, Wei Zhao had already understood that things could not be reversed and had become calmer than before. Du Su asked for her opinion and said, ”I will follow mister into the capital.”

Even if the Du Family couldn't bear to part with her, they had no choice but to send her away.

As expected, Li Zheng did not speak to the Du Family. Mr. Qian's reputation was big and good, so Madame Du Su was slightly relieved.

Boss Du stayed at home and sighed for a few days before starting to work. Suddenly, he heard someone say that one of the family members who attended the election had been sent home. When he went back to tell the Dusu family, the Dusu family had added a hobby of offering incense to the Bodhisattvas. Three incense sticks a day.

Out of the several thousand who participated in the selection, only thirty remained. Ten of them were students chosen by the emperor to accompany the princess, while the other twenty entered the palace voluntarily to accompany them.

Du Su was crying again, while Eldest Brother Du was also sighing. The palace's treatment was really good. There was meat and fish, and those scrubbed off were all forcefully sent back. I heard that there was a little girl a few miles away who was crying and begged to go back.

Besides, Wei Zhao was left behind because he was too ambitious. Why was his child so outstanding? Why didn't he know to hold back?
