Oiran, the king of flowers.

The Oiran Contest is probably the most important festival in Yanliu Lane every year, and it is also the most lively and joyful day in the capital.

Since the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian personally named the peony flower as the king of flowers in the eastern capital of Luoyang, so far the fireworks women of all generations are proud of the peony flower branches in their mouths and travel all over the long street.

Twenty-eight beauties, cardamom years, but they have fallen into the dust, leaning on the door to laugh, it cannot but be said that it is a cruelty of fate.

Since ancient times, the beauty, talent, and demeanor of many fireworks women have been immersed in this three-mile smoke willow painting bridge.

Coax you to sing, I will appear, and how many women's good years are buried in this three-mile long street.

Once the age is old, the lead is washed away, the red face is not there, the hometown can not be returned, the world looks down on it, and the glory and favor of half a life have long been accustomed to the days of fine clothes and fine food.

If you don't have much savings in your old age, you either have a good heart and stay to do rough work to survive the rest of your life.

A few ruthless bustards simply drove out, but they had no way to make a living, or they begged on the streets, and they died of disease and starvation after not waiting for a winter.

In the end, the straw mat was rolled and thrown on the mass grave, leaving the wild dogs to die.

When the prosperity ends, the world is already thin and cold.

The Oiran Contest is to let the world remember that when he was young, he was graceful, he stayed chaotic, and his years were like water.

It also makes people occasionally recall their faces in the best years after tea and dinner, and it is also to leave the best moment for themselves in this cold and cruel world.

It is like a meteor in the sky, blooming the most magnificent scene.

Every woman who has fallen into the dust does not want to be an oiran, and after becoming an oiran, she can also get the nickname of the emperor himself.

In this way, the value was doubled, and the annual reward of the Oiran alone was 30,000 taels of gold.

With these 30,000 taels of gold, you can ensure that you and your family have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and live a life of fine clothes and food.

A good thing for fame and fortune, why not do it!

Siyu thought about it for a long time, and felt that since he and his family could not be reunited for the time being, he was also very depressed when he was trapped in this Tianxiang Building every day.

She also wanted to go out for a walk, after all, she had come to the capital and had never gone out.

What does it look like outside Tianxiang Tower?

Thinking of this, he nodded obediently at Mother Feng.

Feng's mother was overjoyed, "Then you don't have to do anything from now on, I'll register you!" ”

After coming out of Qinglian Residence, Feng's mother smiled happily, thinking that if she came to participate, she was afraid that Tianxianglou would make a lot of money.

As long as Tianxianglou's business is good, the commission she draws will be higher, how can she not be happy.

As soon as I came down from upstairs, I saw Xiao Bailing leaning on the railing and smiling at her, thinking of her virtue the day before yesterday, and the unspeakable hatred in my heart.

"Feng's mother, I heard that Oiran has started to sign up, can you register for me this time?"

Feng Ma glanced at her with a sneer, and said disdainfully: "I'm afraid that the newspaper will be reported in vain, you have to ask the shopkeeper Xiao about this, after all, what about a thousand taels of silver?" ”

When Xiao Bailing heard this, she was even more angry in her heart, but she really didn't dare to offend Feng's mother, because once she couldn't report her name, she wouldn't even be able to touch the edge of the Oiran.

She had to hold back her anger, and the smile on her face had stiffened.

"That's it, Mama Feng, I'll make a big head, Tianxianglou will give me four hundred taels of silver, you see......"

Before she could finish speaking, Mother Feng interrupted her: "I said, I have to wait for Shopkeeper Xiao to come back and tell him, I don't care about this!" ”

Rao is no matter how good her temper is, she can't tolerate this breath.

She was obviously a little excited: "But Shopkeeper Xiao went to the south, and it will be a month to leave, but there are only two days to sign up!" ”

When Mama Feng heard this, she raised her hand and very sympathetically tidied up the headdress that was loose due to anger and trembling for Xiao Bailing, with a sympathetic face, unable to help, and looked at her gloatingly.

Xiao Bailing knew that she must not offend her at this moment, closed her eyes, her heart was horizontal, and she knelt in front of Feng's mother with a plop.

"Mama Feng, for the sake of me working for Tianxianglou for five years, you raise your noble hand, even if it is a fee for registration, I will pay it all!"

It's a pity that Feng Ma has seen too much of the world's methods, and she doesn't care at all.

She simply stood there and said to her word by word: "You really knelt right, but I stuck you and didn't let you go!" ”

Xiao Bailing had actually guessed it, but this was really a matter of whether he could turn over, so he had to mourn: "Mother Feng is begging you this time!" ”

Xiao Bailing was already in tears, but Mother Feng just laughed, left her alone, and walked away.

At this time, Qin's mother hurriedly came over to help her up, and persuaded in a low voice: "Ling'er, if I go and talk to her for you, maybe she will let go!" ”

"No need!" Xiao Bailing knew in her heart that Feng Ma was a person who was narrow-minded, and once she was jealous, it would be difficult to ask her for forgiveness.

"Thank you, Mama Qin, I'll figure out a way to do this!"

Xiao Bailing really didn't expect that Feng Ma would do such a desperate job, and then thought of Chen Siyu, who had only been here for a few days, and took away the results of her ten years of hard work.

She threw herself at the Qinglian Residence upstairs, with a vicious gaze, and her heart became more and more hateful to Chen Siyu.

……

Mu Shaoqing, with Siyu giving him the old mountain ginseng and a silver ticket of nearly 500,000 taels of silver, returned to the place where Yunzhi, Chen's mother, and Wang Daniu stayed. 123 Literary Network

Since the three of them came to the capital, they were completely shocked by the prosperous scene of the capital, but there was no one to guide them, and they didn't dare to go around.

Chen's mother is still a wanted criminal in the imperial court, and Yunzhi and Wang Daniu dare not leave half a step.

Today's Mother Chen is worse than before, completely out of bounds, and relies on Yunzhi to serve.

I wanted to hire another servant, but I was afraid that the news would leak out, and once the news leaked, I was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, this house is located in a relatively remote place in the south of the city, and most of the craftsmen who go in and out are overpasses.

These people are all low-level people who make a living by their crafts, and they leave today and come tomorrow, and they are different faces every day, and they can't get to know each other, so it's safe.

I can't help but say that this is a place that Mu Shaoqing is looking for, after all, the turmoil in the Kechang case has just subsided.

Moreover, the dozen or so soldiers who disappeared in the three major battalions are still nowhere to be found, and the government is still investigating.

Perhaps, the thief couple will be found, and then they will be found along the vine, and it is not impossible to find them.

The government did not dare to close the case for a long time, which is also Yunzhi, Chen's mother, and Wang Daniu, although there is a lot of silver in their pockets.

I also want to go out to see the prosperity of the capital, and in order to get into less trouble, I have to live in this house.

In fact, Yunzhi and Wang Daniu have long wanted to go to see Siyu.

When Mu Shaoqing took the 500,000 taels of silver in his hand, he felt that he hastily handed it over to Chen Yunzhi, and he was really afraid that his gambling addiction would recur.

There was no way, he exchanged most of the silver bills of 500,000 taels of silver into silver dragon silver bills.

This time, the denomination of each silver dragon silver ticket is 100,000 taels, and 500,000 taels of silver are five, so it is also very convenient to carry.

He hid two of them in a brick wall in the middle of the house, and the remaining three were ready to be handed over to Wang Daniu according to Siyu's request.

At this time, Chen's mother is also completely inseparable from people, Yunzhi and Wang Daniu have a clear division of labor, Yunzhi takes care of his mother, and Wang Daniu is responsible for purchasing and cooking.

With Yunzhi on his back, Mu Shaoqing quietly called Wang Daniu, who was peeling green onions, out of the kitchen.

Wang Da Niu didn't understand what he meant, and seeing that his expression was extremely mysterious, he chuckled in his heart, wondering if he would let him move again.

He hurriedly came out and asked in a low voice, "Mu Ye, could it be that there are officers and soldiers here to investigate?"

Mu Shaoqing smiled and waved his hand, and said to Wang Daniu: "Don't worry about this, I didn't call you out for this!" ”

He was surprised, but saw that the other party took out a piece of rice paper, and there was handwriting on it.

"You take a look at this first!"

Wang Daniu took it with both hands, and saw that the handwriting on it was extremely beautiful, and after looking at it for a long time, he hurriedly said to him: "This character is really well written!" But why are you asking me to watch this? ”

It was only at this time that Mu Shaoqing knew that he might have made a serious common-sense mistake, and he sighed: "Da Niu, this is written to you by Siyu!" ”

"Me?"

Wang Daniu took the piece of paper and looked at it for a long time, almost word by word.

"Well, that's so well written! Even I, an illiterate person, think it's good! ”

Mu Shaoqing's head was a little dizzy.

"You don't know how to read, what are you doing for so long?"

"Didn't you tell me to see it?"

Mu Shaoqing was angry.

"Okay, okay, let's not discuss this issue, I'll tell you the point!"

Immediately afterwards, Mu Shaoqing told him about the situation when he met Siyu and the words that Siyu relayed to him.

In the end, he took out three silver dragon silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Wang Daniu.

He said to him very sincerely: "Da Niu, you have been out for so many days, presumably Grandma Wang, you are worried about death, you are obedient, you really can't use you here for the time being, go back, these 300,000 taels of silver, enough for your mother and son, to live for a few lifetimes, buy a big mansion, buy dozens of acres of land, marry a daughter-in-law, have a child, as for her, forget it, you really can't afford to wade through this troubled water!" ”

Wang Daniu took the three silver dragon tickets handed to him by Mu Shaoqing, he was speechless for a long time, his eyes looked ahead in a daze, and his heart was already overturned at this time.

He knew that what Mu Shaoqing said was correct, the 300,000 taels of silver was indeed something he had never dreamed of in the past.

Even if he was asked to cover the seven-layer quilt, he couldn't dream of it.

In Fenglongzhai, the people of those small households on the long street, not to mention the 100,000 taels of silver tickets, I am afraid that they have never seen a big ingot of 50,000 taels in their lifetime.

He also understood that at this time, he and Siyu were drifting apart, and it was impossible to be together again, and they were simply people from two worlds.

But he was unwilling, he was willing to stay by her side for the rest of his life, even if she didn't look at him at all.

Sometimes he feels very distressed by his feelings, but he just can't stop.

He really couldn't let her go.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and carried the 300,000 taels of silver in his arms.

He licked his lips, raised his head, and said to Mu Shaoqing very seriously: "I took her silver, I will go home first, take a look at my mother, and give her this silver for safekeeping, I will come back, don't ask me why, I don't know myself, I just like her......"

When he said this, he choked up, his eyes were red, and Mu Shaoqing patted him with complete understanding: "I understand, I also have this feeling!" ”
