The winter solstice is a very important festival. Every mile and eight townships have begun to select girls with good conduct and good looks to participate in the election of "Jade Girl".

Xia Qianqian was not interested in these activities, but all the villagers in Yangliu Village chose her. Fan Ming came to the door in person: "Qianqian, please represent our Yangliu Village in the election."

"Uncle Fan, do you have any wages?" Xia Qianqian asked.

Fan Ming coughed awkwardly: "No."

"Then I won't go." Xia Qianqian immediately refused. It's freezing cold, so I don't have any money to participate in elections!

"Qianqian, if you become a Jade Girl, not only will the family in the village be honored, but your reputation will be even better."

"Pfft, what I want is money. What is the importance of fame?" Xia Qianqian pouted, "With that skill, I might as well sleep at home."

Fan Ming's eyes twitched, not knowing how to communicate with Xia Qianqian.

Qin Shi felt that this task was an honor, and excitedly said to Xia Qianqian: "Qianqian, your Uncle Fan is right. You can go to the election and you will be able to negotiate a good marriage in the future."

"Mother." Xia Qianqian frowned unbearably.

"Qianqian, my mother was also a beautiful girl back then!" Qin shi was stunned after saying that.

Xia Qianqian and Fan Ming were both surprised: "Have you ever been a jade girl?"

"I..." Qin shi became dazed, "It seems to be, but it doesn't seem to be... I don't remember."

Fan Ming didn't take Qin's words to heart, and continued to persuade Xia Qianqian: "Although there is no salary to be a jade girl, the village will buy you a new set of clothes and a box of rouge gouache."

Xia Qianqian squinted at Qin Shi and nodded slowly: "Okay, I'll run for election. But don't blame me if you can't get elected."

"Of course. Every year, more than a dozen girls participate in the election, and it is normal to lose the election. Then it is settled. I will send you new clothes tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. I will send you to town." Fan Ming happily left.

Xia Qianqian stared at Qin Shi.

Qin shi stared blankly at the snow scene outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking, his expression was very dazed.

"Mother." Xia Qianqian stepped forward and hugged her, "I'm going to choose a beautiful girl, you teach me how to do it."

Qin Shi closed his eyes and shook his head again.

"Mother, I'm nervous, you teach me!"

Only then did Mrs. Qin raised her hand and stroked Xia Qianqian's face, softly instructing: "Do well, sit upright, know etiquette, read poetry and books, look clean and beautiful... Most importantly, you must listen to the priest's words, and the priest will let him What you do, do what you do."

"Mother, I've chosen a jade girl before, and it was successful, right?" Xia Qianqian asked cautiously.

Qin's face changed greatly, she withdrew her hand and shook her head, "I don't remember."

"Mother, think about it carefully, where did you run for the election?" Xia Qianqian held Qin's hand tightly.

"I don't remember, I don't remember."

Qin shi pulled out his hand and walked back to his room quickly. She walked too hastily, her eyes were bad, and she bumped into the door frame when she entered.

"mother!"

Xia Qianqian hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but Qin Shi had already entered the room and closed the door.

Judging from all the signs, the Qin family may have come from a wealthy family. If I can find my former home, I might be able to cure my eyes. Xia Qianqian shouted from outside the door: "Mother, what you lost will come back one day. If you think of something, just say it. Let's find grandma's house together."

Qin's back was against the door, her chest was heaving violently, but she didn't know what she was excited about... After a while, she said, "No need, I'll wait for your father in Yangliu Village!"

The fourth is coming. good night~~
