On the way back from the Li Mansion, there were more and more carriages in the surrounding area, and the entire wide road was congested due to people jumping in line and making turns and turns.

Although Kyoto is bustling and bustling, this is the first time that such a traffic jam has occurred.

It is said that when Xiao Taohong went out in the past, it was Taohua who carried the basket and ran wildly, so as not to let the passing carriages all stay on the road, motionless.

"Ma'am, why don't you go back in a sedan chair?"

The carriage compartment is too big, and it is not flexible to get in and out. If you keep delaying, it will be dark in a while.

In winter, it gets dark early, and it will be too late for dinner.

Li Haitang nodded and saw that there was only one soft sedan chair, so he let the two little ones Guantangbao and Tangbao get on the sedan chair, and went back to Xiao Mansion to settle down first.

The mother-in-law, Xiao's mother, likes the family to be lively, and she is very indulgent to the little baby who can make troubles. Li Haitang is very relieved to give Fang Shaoyao's children to her mother-in-law.

"What's the situation outside?"

Li Haitang gnawed on the rice flower ball, opened the car window to watch the fun, and discussed gossip with the driver.

"At the end of the year, the world will be amnesty, and the new emperor will select women and concubines. No, women from all over the world, who are thoughtful and self-proclaimed beautiful, have all come to Kyoto."

In the past, girls were mostly selected from families with official positions. Even court ladies had to be innocent, and they had to check their ancestors for three generations. Otherwise, it would be a great hidden danger to accidentally mix in an ambitious person and throw them in the palace.

The new emperor looks good. It can be said that looking at the world, few people can surpass her, so as his concubine, she must be beautiful.

Therefore, those old cucumbers in the Ministry of Rituals began to fool Yu Feiling. Since this is the case, it is difficult to find too poor people to fill the harem, so they can only expand the scope of the draft.

All girls between the ages of twelve and eighteen, don't care about their family background, just look at their appearance. If they fall into the eyes of the new emperor, they will fly to the branches and turn a sparrow into a phoenix.

Think about it, not only do you have a high status, but you are also accompanied by a beautiful man, this business really does not lose money.

"However, what is twelve years old?"

Li Haitang paused, he hadn't opened his mouth at the age of twelve, isn't it a bit unreasonable to set the card point for the concubine's age?

Do you still want to invite him into the palace, eat rice for two more years, and then serve the emperor?

Li Haitang understands the good looks of Big Brother Cheap, and when she first met her, she was also deceived enough. All the high-altitude flowers are bullshit, but Yu Feiling is just a big fool with a dark belly!

In terms of appearance, she is convinced. Looking like that is definitely a disaster for the country and the people.

"Ahem!"

The coachman almost choked on his own saliva. Even if he had ten heads, he didn't dare to make up the new emperor, so he could only be a deaf-mute and dare not speak.

After waiting for a while, the carriage remained motionless, and after a while, it was getting dark.

Li Haitang rubbed his stomach and hurried home.

Before going out today, she had already informed Madam Yu that she would drink the soup made from rattan pepper in the evening.

Rattan peppers are not produced in Kyoto, they are brought back from the south, and a little bit of stuff is a waste of time and money. It is Yu Feiling who likes this one, so Li Haitang followed suit.

Rattan pepper soup, add chopped green onion and cucumber slices, white vinegar, hot and sour taste, take a sip, the stomach will be warm, making people feel particularly comfortable.

In winter, when it rains at every turn, drinking a bowl of warm stomach and dehumidification is the best.

"Driver, talk to the people in front and see if you can make room for us."

Li Haitang ordered, it's not a problem to be stuck in the street all the time, there is an alley next to it, as long as the person in front gives way, she will go through the alley to avoid the congested road.

The coachman went away for a while, why not, "Ma'am, there is a lady sitting in the donkey cart ahead, and the one in front of her is arguing."

A group of people went to quarrel, and the coachman couldn't intervene, so he had to come and answer.

Li Haitang rubbed her forehead and waved her hands. After sitting in the carriage for a long time, her waist was sore and her back was aching. She was suffering at the moment. She got off the carriage and walked on the side road.

Sure enough, within two steps, I saw the two girls in front of me quarreling.

"Zhang Guihua, your name is so stupid, do you think you can pass the draft?"

A girl in a light yellow thin jacket, with her hands on her hips, pointed at the girl named Zhang Osmanthus wearing a floral jacket and said angrily.

"My name is ugly, but I look beautiful!"

The one named Zhang Guihua didn't care, she raised her head, very arrogant, "Don't you have common sense? When a woman gets married, she takes her husband's surname, what's her name, cat or dog, it's just a code name."

"Even your code name is a vulgar sweet-scented osmanthus, you are just like sweet-scented osmanthus."

The girl in the light yellow coat was so angry that she blushed and had a thick neck, and she couldn't grasp the point for a long time, while her maid, who was obviously more talkative, stared at Zhang Guihua and asked, "Miss Zhang, are you serious when you say you are beautiful? "

Zhang Guihua is not tall, she is a little fat, black and fat, just looking at her figure, she is not very good, even worse than passers-by.

There is no woman in Daqi who does not want to be with the new emperor. It is just a chance for a group of people to come here. It is impossible for the new emperor to take a fancy to this kind of passer-by.

Beauty is not confident, Zhang Osmanthus, who is a bit ugly, has a thick skin!

The two came from the same place, and they often robbed the inn on the way, and quarreled, and their characters did not match, and now they started arguing again.

Zhang Guihua has always been self-confident, making the master and servant in the light yellow jacket doubt life.

"Nonsense, my parents said I was good-looking, and I was born by my parents, how could they lie to me?"

Zhang Guihua folded her arms and said with a smile, "I will be a concubine from now on. I despise you for being a palace maid like you."

"My God...you are a butcher's daughter!"

The light-yellow jacketed girl couldn't say no to Zhang Guihua, so she began to attack personally.

The classes of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and Daqi are clearly distinguished. Zhang Guihua's family is not only a merchant, but also the lowest, selling pork.

However, Zhang Guihua has no low self-esteem. On the contrary, she is very proud. Because her family sells pork, she can often eat meat. Others' houses have not been exposed to oil and water for a few months, and she is almost tired of eating it.

In particular, the most tender breast meat on the pig, with three layers, and the best stewed meat, her father will leave it to her first.

No matter how big the official is, how rich can he be? The meat she ate was as fresh as she ate. Is it good?

As for the figure, the fat one is a blessing, and it will be easy to bear children in the future, while the thin one looks like a monkey, with a dull complexion, and it seems that he will not live long.

"You are shameless!"

The girl in the light yellow coat was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and the two continued to fight. It wasn't just the two of them, Li Haitang walked forward and found that many people had conflicts. People are very strange, obviously everyone is holding the mentality of climbing high branches, but when they see each other, they feel that they are an eyesore and look down on each other, but they take it for granted that they are like this.
