There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Only then did Wu Youwei know that the ranks in the harem of the Ming Dynasty were no less than those of the Qing Dynasty.

In the fifth year of Hongwu (AD 1372), Ming Taizu ordered six bureaus and one division, namely: Shanggong Bureau, Shangyi Bureau, Shangfu Bureau, Shangshi Bureau, Shangbei Bureau, and Gong Zhengsi.

The total number of concubines, female officials and court ladies is 93.

The arrangement is: empress, imperial concubine, noble concubine, and the rest are virtuous concubine, Shu concubine, Jing concubine, Hui concubine, Shun concubine, Kang concubine, Ning concubine, and Zhao concubine;

In addition, the harem is also known as nobleman, talented person, chosen servant, and lady, but sometimes it is not limited to the prescribed constants.

There are only a few beauties in the current harem, and after a long time of luck, no one is pregnant. Yu Kong, the heir of His Majesty the Emperor!

Daizong picked up a big bargain back then, why did Yingzong be restored in the end?

Just because Daizong has no son!

The crown prince of Daizong is up early!

Now the empress dowagers of the two palaces are staring at this matter. If they can't force the emperor, they can only put pressure on the women in the harem. Whether it's seduction| or self-recommendation, as long as they can conceive a dragon species, they will be a great hero!

The key is that so far, His Majesty the Emperor has been exposed to both rain and dew, and no one is lucky enough to have one.

Not to mention the queen mothers of the two palaces, even the ministers are in a hurry, okay?

So after the Tiangou Eclipse, all the ministers went to the memorial, almost crushing the imperial case.

"What does this have to do with the harem?" Wu Youwei said inexplicably, "It's a natural phenomenon for the dog to eat the sun."

"I don't know if it's a natural phenomenon or not. I only know that the Ministry of Rites has already started drawing up the list. It is said that the late emperor had already made some lists before his death. We're doing an event!" Liu Jian gloated and said, "I don't know who will be selected, but this is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

Wu Youwei understands that the queens of the Ming Dynasty are very interesting. Apart from the two founders, Zhu Yuanzhang's queen is Empress Ma, who is the first wife, the wife of the scum; Defending Beiping City to the core, putting on the helmet and putting on the armor to boost morale, she exists like a hero among women.

But since Zhu Di, the queen's background has changed. She is no longer a noble daughter of a noble family, let alone the daughter of a first- and second-rank official in the imperial court. They are too prominent, so the draft daughters in this palace are all the legitimate daughters of the officials' families below the fourth rank, and the concubine daughters of the officials' families above the fourth rank.

Rank two and above, including senior officials of the second rank, noble families, and clan relatives are all exempt from selection!

In this way, the possibility of foreign relatives being powerful is eliminated, and since ancient times there have been many troubles with beautiful women, the draft daughters in this palace should not be too beautiful, gorgeous, and publicized.

It is required to be gentle and soft, like a lady from a big family or a jade from a small family, not so charming, that kind of person can't even pass the primary election.

You are so beautiful, if the emperor takes a fancy to you, because of your pretty face, you will be spoiled alone, you will not be a demon concubine.

Therefore, in the harem of the Ming Dynasty, all the high-ranking concubines were not beautiful, but their self-cultivation was very good.

Because of this, some girls from the families of small officials are likely to be selected, especially officials below the fourth rank. If they are really selected, judging from the current momentum of the emperor who has just ascended the throne, he will at least be a concubine in the future.

Another one-and-a-half daughter, the whole family will not worry about a bad life in the future.

"I heard that it's not just about choosing a concubine, but also about setting up a queen." Li Dongyang whispered, "This is the only way to reach the sky in one step!"

If it is the queen, it is really "reaching the sky in one step".

"Who's family should be unlucky?" Wu Youwei curled his lips, but he knew that this Emperor Xianzong was the only emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty who abolished an empress.

Of the 41 empresses honored and conferred by the Ming Dynasty, there was only one abolished empress, and that was Emperor Xianzong's abolished empress Wu.

Any girl who becomes the first queen will be abolished.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Dongyang glared at him: "This is great luck!"

"Yes, yes, great luck, I hope this luck lasts forever!" Wu Youwei couldn't just say that the first queen only had one month's life as a queen, right?

Aside from this matter, everyone talked about some poems and songs, and after eating the roast duck, they all praised that the fruit wood roast duck is different, delicious!

After Wu Youwei invited them to dinner, he asked the housekeeper to find some things in the city and buy them back. When he arrived in Wujia Village, he asked the housekeeper to buy bluestone slabs to pave the road and start planning Wujia Village.

Because it is now at the turn of spring and summer, the fields have been weeded, and there is a one-month slack time, and everyone has no work to do. Wu Youwei asked them to build a new Wujia Village, which provides two meals a day. Two dishes and one soup, there must be a meat dish, or braised pork, or stewed chicken, or roast duck, or grilled fish

For the construction period of this month, there are five taels of silver to be paid, and if women help with cooking and some light work, there are also three taels of silver for hard work.

He had only announced for three days before Wu Er found him. Steward Lin brought him here: "Master, someone from the next village came to look for work. Look, do you still need it?"

"Use, more people are more powerful, and it will be easier to finish the building early." Wu Youwei is not short of money, but short of people.

"There are quite a few villagers nearby who are good at building houses, and they are honest and reliable. You just moved here, so why not recruit some of them." Steward Lin suggested, "A harmonious neighbor."

"Okay!" Wu Youwei said: "You can figure it out, as long as you don't be lazy and play tricks, there is nothing wrong with me here.

He knew that Steward Lin Su was doing this for his own good. Regardless of Wujia Village being independent, it also had to face outsiders. Those villages may be far away from here, but as long as there is money to be made, those villagers will definitely come here to work, and he The treatment here is good and the wages are very generous. If they don't say they are good, they will be sorry for their conscience.

Not only spent money, built a house, but also gained a good reputation.

This matter was left to the housekeeper, and Wu Erhuan left happily.

Wu Youwei invited Master Mu over, and gave Master Mu four top-grade suet jades the size of washbasins, two pieces of white jade, one piece of sapphire jade, and one piece of red jade.

Master Mu was already dumbfounded.

"These four are entrusted to you. You look at the carvings. I'm not in a hurry. You can also let your son look for the texture." Wu Youwei said: "During the day, you can take him to the west wing of the front yard to carve jade. Daughter-in-law comes to help, do laundry or do some sewing? There is always work to do.

In this way, the family of three has wages to take.

Master Mu left with a thousand thanks, and Wu Youwei began to prepare to visit the two masters and prepare gifts for them.

In fact, the housekeeper has already listed the gifts. They are nothing more than some specialties in Zhuangzi, such as hens that lay eggs, old ducks, big geese, and some silk cloth. These are all common gifts.

However, Wu You added a pair of cloisonné vases for himself, and made a bookmark in the shape of apricot blossoms, specially smoked with apricot blossoms, which has a faint fragrance of apricot blossoms.

Then there are two articles I made by myself, expressing my feelings about the past and the present, I just want to show the two teachers that he has not delayed his study in the past three years.

The one given to Master Kong was the jade ball that he had prepared long ago.

I didn't dare to give it before because I was afraid of being coveted by the Wu family, but now that the family has separated, it is not conspicuous to show it, and Master Kong is not that talkative person.

Nothing else was given to Master Kong, he was a Buddhist in food and clothing, what else could he have at this time except some vegetables?

It seems cold to give it away, it is better not to give it away.

Just send one is fine.

Originally, the two of them just forgot to make friends with each other!

It was night, and it started to rain. In the gloomy night, with the sound of wind and rain, Wu Youwei felt that the sound of reading was missing.

He was packing books under the lamp when he heard a slight noise.

Since he drank the spiritual water in the pool in the space, he has heard and seen clearly, and he heard the voice correctly.

Relying on his large family, he was also courageous, so he took the oil lamp and walked to the door. There were lanterns hanging outside, but because of the strong wind, the lanterns hanging under the veranda were also shaking.

The veranda will simply provide shelter from the wind and rain, but it is not afraid of being drowned out, and there is a dim light in the dark.

Wu Youwei opened the door, and there were several dogs barking outside. He walked two steps out along the corridors of the wing rooms on both sides, because the housekeeper had something to go to the city, and took away the two sons of Dashan and Wu's family. Lived in the backyard.

The west wing room is the place where jade stones are placed and used as a workshop for Master Mu.

The Dashanhai family lived in the inverted room in front.

Just separated by two doors, Wu Youwei didn't want to call people for no reason at night.

Xiao Xiao sleeps in the ear room next to him. This child sleeps deeply at night and usually doesn't wake up at night.

Wu Youwei noticed a dark figure at the corner of the second door, held a lantern and walked over, only to find out when he got closer, it seemed to be a person?

Man in black!

As soon as the lantern flickered, a sword was handed over, and he poked the lantern directly, extinguishing the candle inside!

Wu Youwei was taken aback: "The hero, spare your life!"

He still remembered that he couldn't speak loudly at this time, what if his family members were called over?This man has a weapon in his hand!

At this time, he was very fortunate, the little child was sleeping soundly, and he didn't even know when he took it away and bought it.

He himself is not afraid because he has the space, and if he really can't, he won't believe that he can't scare the man in black to death once a big change happens!

The man in black moved.

Wu Youwei smelled blood.

"Hero, are you injured?" Wu Youwei has an inexplicable longing for the world, which boy in the future does not have a martial arts dream?

Fly over the eaves and walk on the wall, and act chivalrously.

...you...... "The man in black took a few steps forward, and finally, in the peripheral light of a lantern, he showed his figure.

This figure is much taller and stronger than Wu Youwei, with a pair of eyes as bright as cold stars.

Wu Youwei thought he looked familiar: "Hero? Hero, have we met?"

Then, the man in black closed his eyes, passed out, and landed on Wu Youwei's body.

Wu Youwei......! ! "

I had no choice but to drag this person into my room. The bedroom in the front yard of this house is the best. He remembered this person. Those eyes reminded him of him. He had appeared in Wu's house before. In the memory of the original owner, One last look at a pair of such eyes, and then he came.

And at Wu's house, Wu Jun once brought someone into his small yard looking for some thieves, and he was talking about this man in black.

At that time he hid people...

Wu Youwei hurriedly put the man on his bed with all his strength, and wanted to take the sword away from his hand, but the man held on to the hilt of the sword tightly, and he couldn't hold it.

Helpless, he had no choice but to put the man on the kang, found a pair of scissors, cut open the black clothes, and found that the man's left arm was injured, and his thigh was bleeding, which was a big wound.

Wu Youwei was surprised again, the thigh was hastily bandaged, but the bleeding did not stop, the wound had been rolled up, it looked very hideous.

If this person does not replenish blood, he may bleed to death.

He took off the face towel and saw the whole picture clearly.

He was a young man, a bit of a young boy. He remembered that this person's eyes were very beautiful, as bright as stars, but they were tightly closed now.

Wu Youwei didn't have much good medicine for knife wounds here, besides, this kind of wound needs urgent treatment at first sight, but he really didn't have any available in his hand, a clever woman can't cook without rice!

Finally, he thought of space, that magical deep pool of spring water.

Anyway, he hasn't used trauma before, so it's just an experiment, at worst, give him some more to see if it's a good thing?

Taking advantage of being alone here, Wu Youwei simply entered the space, took out the jade bowl, filled a bowl of water, and directly used the water to wash the wound of the man in black.
