The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters

Qin Shuyu's concerns are exactly the same as Marquis Zhongyong's concerns.

Therefore, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery did not waste his efforts. He knelt down directly in the imperial study and begged the emperor with tears and snot to show mercy, and to issue an imperial decree to find the person because his mansion had been a only-line inheritance for three generations.

The young emperor found it difficult to save face after Marquis Zhongyong knelt down.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have just refused, but the person kneeling in the imperial study was Marquis Zhongyong.

The father of Marquis Zhongyong was originally a cavalry general in the Qingyan Army. He had made great military achievements under the late emperor. Now that he was old, he planned to return to the capital to spend his remaining years.

As a result, before he left office, he encountered a rebellion by the Qiang and Hu tribes, and died for his country in that wild land.

The brother of Marquis Zhongyong used to be the Minister of Works. Within two years of taking office, he was transferred to the south by imperial decree to control floods.

As the water was being controlled, it finally died and collapsed onto the newly built dam.

The late emperor bestowed on him the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery in recognition of the contributions of his family.

Unexpectedly, within a few years of the title being granted, their young marquis ran into trouble again.

Although the little emperor is young, he has learned a lot under Xiao Haizhou's guidance over the years.

He knew that this imperial decree would definitely offend many people in the court, so he went with the flow and handed the offending matter over to...

Xuanlin Guard!

When Qin Shuyu heard the three words "Xuanlinwei", his eyes turned dark.

She frowned and muttered softly, "Why is it the Xuanlin Guard again?", which made He Jianxing look at her with a complicated expression.

However, Qin Shuyu adjusted himself quickly.

She asked He Jianxing: "But what do you want me to do?"

He Jianxing thought for a moment and said solemnly, "The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is looking for someone with a mole on the sole of his foot. First, go and confirm whether the children in your family have moles on the soles of their feet. If not, the Xuanlin Guards won't be able to find anyone in our He family. If they do..."

He Jianxing didn't finish his words.

But even if he didn't say it, Qin Shuyu understood what her husband meant.

Even though it was just a matter of looking for someone for Marquis Zhongyong, everything became a different matter when the person he was looking for turned out to be the Xuanlin Guard.

With the Xuanlin Guard's style of doing things, who knows if this person will find something strange while searching? ?

After all, all of this has been learned from previous experience...

Qin Shuyu said directly: "Lan Jie'er and Yi Ge'er definitely don't have that red mole on their bodies. As for Mian Jie'er, you have to ask Dong Zhu."

Actually, Qin Shuyu usually cared about Zhao Mianmian, but she never thought that there would be a day when she would have to look at the soles of someone's feet! !

He Jianxing: "Don't ask Dong Zhu anymore, just go now. Let's go and see directly. If there is really a mole, we can make plans early."

He Jianxing spoke and Qin Shuyu quickly responded.

She didn't waste any words, found a pendant from her jewelry box, and hurried to Linlan Courtyard with Yu Pu.

The pendant Qin Shuyu held was a small goldfish made of pure gold, tied with a rope woven with red thread.

When Qin Shuyu arrived at Linlan Courtyard, she said that things at home had been unsettled recently and she wanted to use the goldfish pendant to help Zhao Mianmian to calm down. Zhao Mianmian took off her shoes without saying a word and stretched out her white and tender feet in front of her.

It’s really...it’s so easy!

However, when Qin Shuyu took a look at the soles of Zhao Mianmian's feet, his expression immediately changed.

He never smiled again until he left Linlan Courtyard.

Seeing Qin Shuyu's bad face, the audience in the live broadcast room reminded Zhao Mianmian:

[Anchor, I have a feeling you are in trouble.]

[Look at your aunt's face, it's almost as black as the bottom of a pot. ]

[Haha, you thought that little goldfish was given for free! ]

Zhao Mianmian looked at Qin Shuyu's departing back, then looked at the little goldfish on her feet, and pouted with a look of pain on her face:

[Let me make it clear first, although it is troublesome, I will not be able to return the little goldfish.]

The comments were silent for a second, and finally someone couldn't help it and cursed:

[Damn it, I shouldn't have reminded you! ]

**

The Xuanlin Guards acted quickly and drew up a list within three days, and placed the list in front of Marquis Zhongyong.

As expected, all the people on the list were underage children of officials in the capital who met the requirements of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

I don’t know how these Xuanlin Guards could see the soles of people’s feet and draw up the list without any effort.

However, his goal had been achieved, and Marquis Zhongyong did not want to ask about the details, so he prepared generous gifts and tried each of the people on the list one by one.

On one side is the emperor's oral order, and on the other side is the list of Xuanlin Guards. Ordinary people would not dare to show their unwillingness when faced with such a thing, as they would just give face to the emperor, Taifu Xiao, and Marquis Zhongyong.

But when Marquis Zhongyong tried everyone in the order of the list and was left with the three-year-old daughter of the He family, he was in trouble.

Because Lord He who works in the Secretariat said:

"My sister and brother-in-law died young, leaving only this little girl in the Zhao family. The old lady in the family brought her to Beijing to raise her so that she could enjoy a good life, not to be someone's apprentice."

So no matter how much the Loyal and Brave Marquis tried to persuade him, he just couldn't get into the He family's gate.

The news reached Xiao Haizhou's ears. Xiao Haizhou smiled faintly and asked Xie Chen to give a message to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

Within two days, Marquis Zhongyong was sitting in the front hall of the He family.

The one who let the person in was Zhao Mianmian.

Zhao Mianmian didn't want to get involved in this matter, but when the Loyal and Brave Marquis came, he brought ten boxes of South Pearls, which were neatly stacked at the gate of the He family.

Zhao Mianmian just took a peek through the crack in the door and was completely unable to move.

Zhao Mianmian swallowed, the white light of the pearl reflected in her eyes:

[How many gold coins can I get with so many South Pearls? ]

The comments scolded her for being useless while analyzing her situation:

[Looking at the quality and size, it should be no problem to exchange it for something worth tens of thousands. ]

[No, host, you didn't even ask the loyal and brave man's purpose in coming to the He family to find you, but you're thinking about exchanging the South Pearl for gold coins? ? ]

[Oh, what could it be? It's probably the thing Nuanyi and the others talked about last time.]

[Wait wait wait, what did I miss? What happened? ]

[It's about finding a destined last disciple for the master of the miracle doctor. Tsk tsk, I never thought that the anchor, who is a little baby and can't even recite the Thousand Character Classic, would have someone rushing to take her as a disciple?! ]

[Hahaha, actually, there is nothing wrong with being a disciple of a genius doctor. No matter what the anchor can learn, it can be regarded as an identity. Even if something happens in the future, the Xuanlin Guards will not hold it against him and regard him as a strange person who brings disaster to the country and the people.]

[Hearing what you said, it seems to make some sense. ]

[What a lie! I think you guys have read too many novels!]

In ancient times, there were three classes of people: scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. Naturally, "scholars" were superior and "merchants" were inferior.

Doctors, by rights, are the lowest class of "scholars". Which noble family would allow their sons and daughters to study medicine? Isn't this a slap in the face?

Besides, the anchor is the cousin of the He family. If she really becomes an apprentice, wouldn’t it be obvious that people would criticize her uncle and aunt, saying that the He family can’t even tolerate a girl? ! 】

[Oh my god, is it that complicated? ]

[Professor Xu is an expert in ancient folklore. Since he said so, he must be right. Professor Xu, I am...]

[Okay, shut up, Zhang Wenyu.]

[Okay, Professor Xu.]

Zhao Mianmian:
