As expected, it was the last one who was selected, the girl who was weak and supported by the willows, and someone gave her a stick, so she was naturally selected, no accident.

The game is over.

Su Yu's eyes were staring at the stage without blinking, and after the end, the ten girls came out, who was the most suitable person?

Su Yu was looking at them one by one, but her position was far away and she couldn't really see it.

Wu Zhi had already stood on tiptoe to look, he pointed to the girl standing at the front on the stage and said, "Look, how good that girl is, with a small face of melon seeds, and watery peach blossom eyes, how seductive." ”

Su Yu looked at the leader pointed by Wu Zhi, the girl not only looked good, but also had a good figure, she was dressed in pink clothes, and her white skin was looming, which was really attractive.

The people below shouted her name from time to time, and Wu Zhi also shouted, sounding like 'Tao Xue'er'.

Su Yu secretly thought, there are three days to be the second round of the Oiran, the battle of the top five, three days is too short, she thought about it carefully, these three days first inquire about the temper of those Oiran, to see which one can listen to the persuasion, three days later, the top five come out, she will go to find the top five to do the 'clothing' business, and then she has to find a powerful embroidery girl, otherwise, let her blow the sky, the cheongsam can't be made, it will be in vain.

It's getting dark, it's winter, and it's already getting dark.

The top ten Oiran elections are over, but those spectators are not ready to leave, it's dark and good, they just go to the flower building to relax, and talk about today's daytime, even if those girls are selected for the top ten, didn't they pick up guests yesterday? Although there are clear and red songs, no matter what kind of it is, you have to drink a little wine and sing a little song.

Flower Lane is becoming more and more lively.

Su Yu dragged Wu Zhi back, Wu Zhi was reluctant to give up, if he had silver in his hand, he would be willing to meet Tao Xue'er, although he might not be able to see it, but he had that heart.

Su Yu looked at him speechlessly: "Aren't you hungry?" ”

Wu Zhi looked at her deeply and nodded slowly: "Hungry." As he spoke, his stomach began to growl.

Su Yu sighed and said, "There is not much food in the kitchen, where can I buy food?" ”

Wu knew: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, it's late now, maybe they will come to see the excitement like us." He hesitated for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let's go to the night stall and buy something to eat." ”

Su Yu was puzzled: "Didn't you say that everyone who does business is here to see the excitement?" ”

Wu Zhi pointed to the street next to Hua Lane: "Right there, those vendors are doing business here, today is the time to be lively, they won't close the stalls." After he finished speaking, he walked over with Su Yu.

The street next to Flower Lane is really lively.

There are people selling cakes, noodles, dumplings, roast chickens, roast geese, and snacks, and the whole street is full of food, which is very fragrant, and I drool when I smell it.

Wu Zhi said to Su Yu with some pride: "I found it here when I was begging, hehe." ”

What's so complacent about this?

Su Yu squinted at him.

Wu Zhi said again: "The roast chicken here tastes very good, and there is also roast sheep, but unfortunately it is too expensive, forget it, let's go eat dumplings." He took Su Yu to the dumpling stall.

The stall owner asked, "Stuffed with elements, or stuffed with meat?" ”

Wu He asked, "What price?" ”

Su Yu looked at Wu Zhi and said in her heart, she thought he knew the price, and said that she had been here. But when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it was wrong, Wu Zhi had been here when he was begging, how could he have the money to buy food at that time, no wonder he didn't know the price.

The stall owner said: "A bowl of vegetarian stuffing is five Wen, and the meat filling is ten Wen." ”

Wu Zhi frowned and said, "It's so expensive." "There are only eight dumplings in one bowl.

The stall retorted: "Where is it expensive, you see, you don't need money for the stuffing inside?" Smell this soup, this is a good soup made from big bones! He muttered in his heart, it was just a few pennies, and if you couldn't afford it, don't ask the price.

Wu Zhi turned his head and asked Su Yu, "Do you want to eat?" ”

Su Yu shook his head and said, "Okay." "I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time, and now it's cold, and I really want to drink hot soup.

She said to the stall owner, "Two bowls of vegetarian dumplings." ”

The stall owner happily said, "Okay! ”

The stall is not big, there are four small tables in total, Su Yu and Wu Zhi sit on a small table sheltered from the wind, they each take out a pair of chopsticks, Su Yu also scalded it with hot water, and Wu Zhi wiped it on his clothes.

Su Yu looked at him quite entangledly, Wu Zhi's clothes were not necessarily cleaner than chopsticks, so was it really okay?

Su Yu They came early, the stall owner was all alone, and when the dumplings were served, the stall was already full of people, Su Yu sandwiched a dumpling and tasted it together, it tasted good, but unfortunately, it would be better if it was dipped in vinegar.

Soon, a bowl of dumplings was eaten, and they even drank the soup, which was bone broth, which tonified the body.

After they finished eating, they stood up and made room for the people behind, Su Yu gave the money, Wu Zhi wanted to leave, but Su Yu said: "There are still two to eat in the house, let's buy some hot ones and go back." ”

Wu Zhiyi patted his head and said, "I forgot about them." Said Shou sneered twice, he used to always eat alone, the whole family was not hungry, he was used to it, and now there are people waiting at home, and it doesn't feel bad.

Su Yu walked around the night market stalls, this street is extremely long, and it is overcrowded when it gets dark, so if you do business here, it is extremely good.

Su Yu couldn't help but think about it, it should be good to sell some snacks, but she quickly dispelled this idea, this was slow in advance, she didn't want to be targeted by the spies of Black Wind Village, wait for a few days, and the rumor will pass.

Wu Zhi saw that Su Yu was walking around and didn't buy anything, and couldn't help urging: "Let's not bring the soup, buy some dried ones back, it's easy to bring, those noodles and dumplings will swell as soon as they are soaked, and they won't taste good if they swell." ”

Wu Zhi couldn't help but say, "It's blowing the north wind again, let's hurry up." ”

At last. ”

In the end, I was too lazy to choose, so I bought two bowls of egg fried rice and went back, this is not from a stall, but sold in a shop, Su Yu looked at the color of golden, smelled fragrant, and couldn't help but buy it, a little expensive, but thinking about the two patients at home, Su Yu was happy when she bought it.

There are not many rice growers in the north, so the price of rice is a little more expensive than that of noodles.

Later, she thought that Gao Ping's illness was serious, and she couldn't swallow the meal, so she bought vegetable porridge again, but she didn't dare to buy meat porridge, it was too cheap, who knew what kind of meat was in the porridge.

Buying good food, Su Yu was ready to go back, when passing by the pastry stall, Su Yu's footsteps paused, pastries, cakes! It's a pity that there is no milk and it can't be made, so Su Yu shook his head and left.

When they returned to the teahouse, the shopkeeper did not come back, the back door was bolted, Su Yu knocked on the door and shouted, Xiaobao came out and opened the door, Su Yu and the two entered the house and bolted the back door again.

Wu Zhi said: "The shopkeeper is estimated not to come back." ”

Su Yu was not surprised, she smiled and didn't say anything, she brought back the egg fried rice, Gao Ping really had no appetite, only ate some vegetable porridge, and said that he was full, he slept for a day, but he couldn't sleep at night.

Later, Gao Ping really couldn't sleep, he remembered the story he heard at noon, the part where the monkey made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he couldn't sleep in the first place, the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to hear it, and he couldn't sleep even more.

Wu Zhi didn't argue with Su Yu to tell the story behind the whole night, he was afraid that Gao Ping would rest, Gao Ping's complexion was not good, and he was very weak when he looked at it.

It was a quiet night.

Su Yu fell asleep quickly, and the next day, she got up late, and when she got up, the door of the teahouse was tightly closed, why hadn't it opened yet? What about the shopkeeper, man?

Wu Zhi was still sleeping when Su Yu got up, she woke Wu Zhi up, and Wu Zhi looked confused: "What happened?" ”

Su Yu said: "It's not early, the teahouse hasn't opened yet, the shopkeeper and a few guys haven't come, and the people who run the hall are not there." ”

Wu Zhi yawned and said, "Maybe they are still in Flower Lane, wait for the selection." He looked unconcerned.

Su Yu went outside to buy flour, and bought some new cotton jackets, for Xiaobao and Gao Ping, of course, she bought one for Wu Zhi, which was a thank you for his care, and when she came back, she bought some flour and rice, she searched around the street, only pickles and Chinese cabbage, so she bought some and brought them back to the teahouse.

On this day, the spies of Black Wind Village seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and Su Yu squinted his eyes and thought, as if he hadn't seen these people since yesterday.

Did it be withdrawn?

Or if that's the case, it's a lot easier for her to make money! However, Su Yu didn't dare to be sloppy about such a thing, she said in her heart, I'll see tomorrow.

The shopkeeper came back in the afternoon, and the joy on his face couldn't be hidden, and the first thing he said when he saw Su Yu was: "Our business is on the score!" He was secretly glad that he went to the flower building last night and met a wealthy businessman, who somehow talked about books and periodicals, and talked about it, and the businessman was interested in it, and said that he wanted to make a big head!

He would never tell anything about drunken gaffes.

As a result, the matter of books and periodicals was officially put on the agenda.

Su Yu is also extremely happy, if this thing is done, she can also get a sum of money, but all she can help is to move her mouth, and the specific thing has to be done by the shopkeeper herself.

The teahouse is not closed, but it has been replaced by afternoon storytelling, or by Wu Zhi, the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is still the same, as for Wu Zhi's own story, it has ended.

As for Su Yu, he was still busy.

The matter of boiling medicine has been handed over to Xiaobao, these days have eaten well, Xiaobao's body is gradually getting better, and he can also help people work, as for Gao Ping, he is tired of lying in bed, and occasionally comes down for a walk, although his body hurts, but he feels better in his heart.

At least, it's not like a wasted person.

In addition to Su Yu being busy with books and periodicals, she was also busy inquiring about the ten Oiran candidates, and she also had to secretly inquire about the skillful embroidery girl, now that it is the end of the year, everyone is busy making new clothes, and the embroidery girl is so busy that she can't spare time, which is difficult to do.

Su Yu was distressed at first, but later she was reminded that she figured out one thing, Hualou already raised an embroidery girl, if the 'clothing business' really became, she didn't have to worry about who made it, she just needed to talk about the style, and the rest would not be in her hands.

Three days later, the Oiran 10-5 contest began, and more people went to see the judging that day than the previous time.

The shopkeeper was busy with books and periodicals, and the people in the teahouse were all dragged, and no one had time to go, but Su Yu, while buying medicine, went to take a few glances, mainly the costumes of the people in the stands, and the ten on the stage, some were dressed up in fancy clothes, some were light and elegant, and some were charming and moving...... Anyway, that's the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.

Su Yu only looked at it for a while and left, and the later result was what she heard the next day, among the five Tao Xue'er she remembered, and the other four barely had some impressions, to Su Yu's surprise, the little jasper who was weak and willow helped the wind, actually squeezed in, saying that she had taken out the ability to press the bottom of the box, and the peony she painted attracted butterflies, such a spectacle was extremely rare, so everyone chose her, although there were some deficiencies in appearance, but this kind of painting skill is extremely top-notch.

Day 4.

Su Yu took a turn on the street again, this time, she also deliberately picked a lively wait, there was still no one from Heifeng Village, Su Yu was still not at ease.

She was upset if she didn't figure it out.

So, she was ruthless and went to Ya Po, who was good friends with the four masters, and Ya Po was knocking melon seeds in the house, and when she saw her eyelids and a poor boy in rags, how could there be any deal?

Su Yu took out the copper plate of the two from his arms.

Ya Po lifted her eyelids and glanced at her: "Are you here to sell people, or to sell land?" ”

Su Yu said: "I want to ask you something. ”

Ya Po frowned: "Ask."

Mei: "Inquiring?" I'm not a teahouse inn, so how can I have any news for you. ”

Su Yu took out another three coins and said, "I'm asking about what you know, if your news satisfies me, this money will be given to you!" Su Yu drew a big cake for her, what she didn't say was that if the answer made her unsatisfied, she would naturally take back the money.

When Ya Po heard this, the old face smiled into a flower: "Cheng, you ask." ”

Su Yu walked over and asked in a low voice: "A few days ago, a scholar brought two girls to sell them to the Yuanwai Mansion, and this matter is still your thread." ”

Ya Po's face changed.

Su Yu asked again: "I want to ask what about the scholar?" ”

Ya Po's face turned cold: "What are you asking for?" ”

Su Yu said: "One of the girls is my sister, she was abducted, I came to look for her." ”

Ya Po sighed when she heard this, she stared at Su Yu for a while, and muttered: "That's not right, that girl was born so well, you look ......"

Su Yu said calmly: "One is like a father, and the other is like a mother." ”

That makes sense.

Ya Po pulled Su Yu aside, lowered her voice and said, "I really know a little bit about the news, but your price is not enough." ”

Su Yu frowned: "I only have these five copper coins." ”

Ya Po didn't believe it.

Su Yu said: "Forget it, I'll go to the Yuanwaifu and ask for myself." After saying that, she turned around and left, but she was pretending, but the Ya Po was fooled, and saw that the Ya Po reached out and grabbed her, and wanted to grab the money in her hand, Su Yu clenched her hand into a fist.

Su Yu said: "Don't tell the news, but there is no money to take." ”

Ya Po hesitated for a moment, but still said, "This matter is related to the murder." ”

Su Yu was stunned.

Ya Po whispered again: "The few people who followed the scholar are all dead, and the blood has flowed all over the ground, and what was found yesterday, if it weren't for the wild dogs who went to the house to eat the meat and dragged the blood on the ground, maybe no one would have known!" ”
