Zhao Bing saw Zheng Huchen laughing but didn't answer, so he opened all the scrolls and spread them on the table. He touched the paintings on the silk cloth on the open ruler. The mounting was very exquisite and depicted in fine brushwork. The painter's painting skills were also very good. The figures were vivid and vivid, which could be said to be a cilia. However, these paintings looked more like "standard photos" on the surface. These maids all stood long and wore long skirts, but had slightly changed their movements.

"Master Zheng, where did these paintings come from? Are they in the palace?" Zhao Bing was not a fool either. After seeing it, he immediately thought of something and raised his head and asked.

"Your Majesty, that's right!" Zheng Huchen saw the little emperor's face sternly, and immediately realized that the little emperor had guessed something, and immediately answered honestly.

"But the portrait of the concubine to be selected?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"Your Majesty, this is a portrait of the beautiful girl who is to be chosen." Zheng Huchen replied.

"You ordered someone to steal it?" Zhao Bing's eyes became stern and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, how can I have this courage?" Zheng Huchen immediately said after hearing this. He knew that although he was the confidant of the little emperor, he still had to pay attention to standards in his work and knew how to advance and retreat. Some things were not something he could ask about. Especially when it involved family affairs, he would never interfere without a clear edict, otherwise he would be a person who would be a person who would be killed.

"Where did that come from? It was their family who asked you to present it to me!" Zhao Bing brows slightly and asked again.

"Your Majesty, this was transferred by Dou Xing, the deputy governor of the introspective, to Liu Ling, and he also asked his subordinates to submit it to Your Majesty." Zheng Huchen replied.

"Dou Xing, an old ghost, didn't know how much money he had collected from others, but he worked so hard!" Zhao Bing relaxed after hearing this and said with a chuckle. He knew Zheng Huchen's statement very easily and he could not make excuses such as lies.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates think that this time is not the case, but to please the emperor, otherwise they would not have brought so many portraits of beautiful women at once." Zheng Huchen said.

"Well, when Master Zheng said that this is true, he bet all the treasures on me. I think the Empress Dowager belongs to these people, so he hurriedly sent a letter to buy it." Zhao Bing thought for a moment and asked.

"This time, the Empress Dowager was worried about His Majesty's marriage. Not only did she choose widely, but she also summoned the prime ministers to enter the palace to discuss several times, but it has not been finalized yet." Zheng Huchen said.

"Minister Zheng hasn't done enough for my marriage?" Zhao Bing looked at Zheng Huchen with a smile and said.

"Of course, otherwise how could you dare to come to His Majesty to ask for a vegetarian vegetarian food!" Zheng Huchen replied with a smile, "After learning about the people to be selected, my subordinates asked their family background, relatives and... ah, and then sorted them out into a book for His Majesty's reference. All of them are the original text, and my subordinates have never made any changes to them!"

"You are smart!" Zhao Bing rolled his eyes and shouted outside the door, "Wang De..."

"What's the matter with the official?" As soon as he finished speaking, Wang De came into the house and saluted.

"Today, Director Zheng will accompany me to have a meal. Please accompany me to the kitchen to check it out. Prepare whatever you like!" Zhao Bing pointed at Zheng Huchen and said.

"Yes, the official!" Wang De agreed, then turned to Zheng Huchen and said with a smile, "Master Zheng is really a god minister. I'm afraid it's the first time in the Song Dynasty!"

"How dare you? I'm sorry, I'll be the high-ranking official!" Zheng Huchen bowed to him and said with a smile. He also knew that the little emperor was "driving people". He then bowed and went out with Wang De...

Zhao Bing first opened the five pictures of ladies in a row on the table. He looked at them one by one, but Li Sanniang was not among them. Obviously, she had been separated from the queen's candidates. Her identity as a "barbaric" determines that she could only be listed as the concubine. What was unexpected was that Chen Renweng's Shu'er was not among them. The Queen Mother Yang remembered that he still had a good impression of her and even joked with him to put her in the inner palace. It seemed that the Queen Mother gave up on her in the end.

"It's pitiful!" Zhao Bing looked at Hua'er and sighed, not knowing whether he was lamenting his bad fate or feeling sad for several women. Thinking about the fact that arranged marriages in his previous life have long become history, and blind dates have become a very shameful thing, but now he has even deprived the power of blind dates. Lifelong happiness depends on the empress dowager. Before marriage, he can only use these stolen paintings to see what his future wife looks like, which is no different from blind marriage and mute marriage. These women don't even know that they are beautiful and ugly, and they can't even pick them up.

However, Zhao Bing has become accustomed to always grabbing a bad card and then trying to get the best results. At least now, he can choose one of five and pick and pick and find a relatively satisfactory one. He knows that the wife he chooses for him will never be ugly, because the conditions for choosing a concubine are very harsh, from the mouth, nose, eyes, face and facial features, hands, limbs, hair, skin, teeth, neck, chest, waist, and woman's body from top to bottom, all have strict standards, even if the smell of a woman's body is also one of the standards.

In addition, Zhao Bing knew that the aesthetic concepts of the Song Dynasty were different from those of the Tang Dynasty's fullness and wealth, while the willows were thin waists and petite and thinness were the beauty of women appreciated by the Song Dynasty scholars. On the contrary, the conditions for hardware such as facial features and appearance can be slightly relaxed, but the threshold for charm and mood is relatively high. The most lively literati pursued a kind of hazy beauty under the lights and the artistic beauty between the bow and pavilions under the lanterns and the beauty of artistic conception between the pavilions and pavilions, of course, it is difficult to understand in these standard photos.

Of course, no one objected to the high appearance, and this aspect is different from the "snail face" that modern people like. The standard face of beauties in this era is slightly round on the upper part and slightly pointed at the lower part, which looks like melon seeds, full and white, commonly known as goose faces. In addition, the "full moon" is also a face shape that meets the ancient Chinese aesthetic standards. The face is like a full moon, which refers to the round and white face, like a full moon, with fair appearance, plump and spirit. The woman in the painting is nothing more than this.

As the saying goes, "The face is like a flower, and it depends entirely on the nose." The nose is the most prominent part of the face. The standard for a beautiful woman's nose is exquisite and transparent, full of three-dimensionality. There is also the saying "the nose is like Qiong Yao". Qiong Yao, a kind of beautiful jade, is crystal clear, smooth and warm, that is, it should focus on the exquisiteness, transparency and beauty of the nose, while "the nose is like a hanging gall" focuses on the three-dimensional beauty of the nose. However, in this traditional painting method, positive images are still difficult to express.

What made Zhao Bing strange was that the women on the paintings were all down and pleasing to the eyes, with indifferent eyes, neither sad nor happy, and seemed to have small eyes, which made people feel awkward. But when I thought about it, the maids in the palace were not small, and the queen mother also had a pair of phoenix eyes. Although she was not as beautiful as a copper bell, she was not as narrow as a squint. From a genetic point of view, her mother's eyes would not be small either.

But Zhao Bing thought about it and then figured it out. It was probably because the painter drew this implicit and restrained visual effect in order to meet the current functional needs of moral education. In addition, the girls who were used to seeing all kinds of big eyes in their previous lives, especially those who had half of the cute girls with big eyes in Japanese cartoons, who had a illusion that they had small eyes.

"If you care about her, you're not Zhu Bajie's second aunt!" Zhao Bing understood that the emperor's marriage was more of a political marriage and he could not decide it himself. The moral level of a queen is the first, but not her appearance. This is also an important criterion after the election of the royal family in the Song Dynasty. But in fact, this is more wishful thinking, and it is basically judged by the other party's family background. Does his grandfather, Emperor Lizong, really like Concubine Jia so much? It's not because he had to rely on Jia Sidao that he had to act like a special favor.

"The daughter of Lei!" Zhao Bing took a picture casually and looked at the footnote and said softly. He looked carefully. The little lady looked petite and weak, with a pretty melon-shaped face, a small nose, a small mouth, a high bun, a graceful figure, and a small waist that seemed to be able to hold it in, like a doll, and that little look made people feel pity for her.

"The ancestor Lei Yizhong, whose courtesy name is Yishu, his nickname is Changshan, and he is from Fengcheng County..." The palace selection girls all wanted to find out the eight generations of ancestors. After the good man, he even passed the sieve to pass the sieve and then passed the sieve. However, what Zhao Bing trusted more was the Affairs Bureau, and opened the booklet brought by Zheng Huchen and opened the way.

Lei Yizhong went back to both generations and was ordinary people studying in farming. In his early years, he studied hard in Zhang Qia, a famous scholar of the wise and scholars. In the second year of Duanping, he became a student of Tai. He was sentenced to criticizing the Prime Minister Shi Song of Quan for a long time and was not at the second place in the Jinshi in the seventh year of Chunyou. He entered the official career and did not change his integrity. He served as a record room in the Jiangling general Jia Sidao. Whenever he encountered any disagreement, he had to argue with reason, and thus offended Jia Sidao and demoted him to Guangdong Strategy.

He promoted profits and eliminated disadvantages in Guangdong, and donated his salary to buy land to Tongjiang Academy to serve as a fire. In the first year of Deyou, he was promoted to the Minister of Rites and the Guangdong Pacification Envoy. At this time, the Yuan army invaded the south and most of the Jiangnan area fell. Lei Yizhong responded to Wen Tianxiang's call and insisted on resisting the Yuan Dynasty in Lingnan. He also recruited soldiers and civilians to defend the territory with Xie Fangde of Xinzhou. During the battle of defense of Lingjiao, he was seriously injured and died in his country. Ten years later, his grandson Lei was promoted to visit the remains and moved to Fengcheng.

Lei Yizhong had two sons, and his eldest son was Yin Bu Chengwulang, but he failed to enter the officialdom. The two brothers were still studying in the village. The selected one was Lei Yan, the eldest son of the Lei family. He was born in the fifth year of Xianchun at the age of sixteen. He had three brothers. Because of his family's deterioration and his ancestors were shallow, he got a daughter in his later years, and was very loved by his father and brother. He studied and practiced calligraphy with his brother since childhood and was proficient in poetry and essays. He was virtuous and kind, good at managing the family. Although his mother and sister-in-law were in the church, he was in charge of family affairs when he was a teenager, and his family gradually improved and became well-off. This time, Xie Fangde was recommended to be selected.

"The children of poor people are already in the family!" Zhao Bing made a judgment after seeing this. His family was barely considered an official, and to be appropriately said to be a farming and studying family. With Lei Yizhong's temper, the official position is not as good as it is. He is also upright and must have lived on his salary. It would be good if he could manage some land for his descendants.

After the death of the head of the family, life must have been in trouble. From the little girl's thin body, you can know that she has been malnourished since she was a child and has not been able to grow up. However, she can try to reverse her family's situation at a young age. Although she doesn't know what methods to use, she can't know any despicable means by her family style. This shows that she is a good player in life. However, Zhao Bing thought it was difficult to choose Lei Yan as the queen, and her congenitally lacked small body lacks the image of a mother in the world, so she is afraid that it will be difficult to pass the final competition.

"Wow, this is long legs!" Zhao Bing regretfully put the portrait of Lei Yan aside. In fact, he was willing to find a wife who was good at financial management. At least he had a "soft rice" and no longer had to worry about money. He took another picture and looked carefully and found that the young lady had a long face, slender figure, dress treading on the ground, and long sleeves. As long as the painter did not draw the wrong proportion, she was definitely a long legs, and had her own vest line and a modern beauty with eggs in her collarbone. She just didn't know if she was hungry or practiced.

I couldn't wait to look through the information of this woman, Zhao Bing couldn't help but be amazed that his family can be traced back to the famous Wang family of Langya, the famous Wang Xizhi of the world. Although I don't know how many of these branches were divided. However, his ancestor was Wang Yu, the famous prime minister of this dynasty. He was the Jinshi in the 13th year of Jiading. Later, he served as a local official in Changshu, Taizhou, Chuzhou, Ruizhou and other places. In the year of Baoyou, he was also an editor of the national history. In the second year of Jingding, Wang Yu was promoted to the Minister of Rites and served as the Minister of Personnel and the Grand Secretary of Guanwen Hall. In the first year of Xianchun, he was a member of the Privy Council and the General Secretary of the Political Affairs Office.

In the tenth year of Xianchun, he became the left prime minister. In the first year of Deyou, the Yuan soldiers marched south in large numbers. Despite his age, he asked the court to grant Xuanfu Ambassadors the recruitment of Zhongyi and jointly seek restoration. Soon after, he was appointed as the important affairs of Pingzhang's military and national affairs, and ordered Zhang Shijie and other four other troops to advance together to resist the Yuan soldiers' southward. His military deployment was not adopted. Soon, Zhang Shijie was defeated, and Wang asked for dismissal because he "was unable to obtain his position". He then dismissed Pingzhang and died after returning home for less than a year.

Wang was a pure and strong person. Jia Sidao, who was respected by Song Duzong as his "teacher minister", returned to Tiantai and buried his mother in Xinchang, but he was not seen. Jia Sidao's superiors were defeated. Wang said that Jia Sidao was not loyal or filial. He came to the empress dowager and said, "The powerful ministers in this dynasty have suffered disasters, but there is no such thing as Sidao. The gentry and the grass-roots are not known for their memorials. Your Majesty all suppressed them and did not do it. Not only did they give others no words to them, how could they thank the world!" Jia Sidao was demoted and moved.

The selected woman was Wang's third son and two daughters, named Wang Yu. She was born in the fourth year of Xianchun. Her father, Wang Huaguibaoyou, was a Jinshi in the year of Emperor Xianchun. After he became an official, he served as an editor, a director of the provincial and ministers, a doctor, and served as a magistrate. Her uncles either participated in the imperial examination or were under the guild. After the fall of Jiangnan, they all retired to their families and never served in the Yuan Dynasty, and had no bad records. They studied books behind closed doors and taught their children to enjoy themselves. She can be said to have been born in a wealthy family, a family of officials, and a family of prime ministers. The information shows that she is good at poetry, proficient in music, good at music, good morals, and well-educated.

"Oh, I don't know if I'm destined to do it!" Zhao Bing sighed and reluctantly left the portrait. He knew that it was not because of his appearance, but because of the world's style. The aesthetic view of this world could not tolerate "long legs". It is said that once, Su Shi went to a rich man's house to drink. The master had a dance philtrum, who was pretty good but tall. The master asked Su Shi to write poems for the dance philtrum. Su Shi wrote four lines of opera: "The dance sleeves are graceful, the shadows are shaking thousands of feet, the dragon and snake move, the singing voice is so shaking, and the sound is shaking for a long time. The dance philtrum was so embarrassed that he blushed and left reluctantly.
