Chapter 16: Chunjiao
On the shore of Bishui Lake, the opening performance of the Oiran competition has not yet begun, and the vicinity of the fiery platform is already full of men, women and children who are ready to watch the excitement, and there are many more small traders selling goods on the waterfront of Bishui Lake than usual.
Jiang Rou was dressed in a plain white dress and a veil, and walked towards the lake with Ah Zhu.
"It's really lively outside today." Ah Zhu sighed as he looked at the flower stands of the people not far away and the crowd by the lake.
Jiang Rou didn't speak, her eyes fell on the lake full of light boats.
The boats on the lake are hung with colorful lanterns, and on the surface of the lake, they are like five-colored gems sprinkled in the dark night sky, which is beautiful.
When she was a child, she and her sister went out with her mother every holiday to play, and they would always argue for her mother to take her on a cruise.
Jiang Rou walked to the lake: "Boat family, I want to rent a boat." ”
"Okay!"
Jiang Rou got on the boat with Ah Zhu and let the boatman rock the boat and float on the water.
He had already inquired with the innkeeper about the Oiran competition before he left the house.
Today is just the opening performance of the Oiran competition, according to the convention, registration can start tomorrow, the registration time is three days, girls from all Qinglou can sign up, and the first round of competition will start three days later.
In other words, she doesn't have to do anything today, just enjoy the beautiful night here, and after today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have such a comfortable day again.
It's really comfortable, Jiang Rou closed her eyes, and let the evening breeze lift the light veil and stir her face.
Suddenly, Jiang Rou felt a beam of gaze shooting at her.
Jiang Rou raised her eyes and looked in the direction she could see, and on a small boat a few feet away, a woman was staring at her uprightly.
The light on the bow of the boat hit Jiang Rou's face, and a pair of eyes on Jiang Rou's veil instantly surged with hatred and hatred.
Jiang Rou's body shook, and she instantly looked away,
I really didn't expect to meet Cui Yalan here.
"Boatman, go ashore!" Jiang Rou steadied her mind and said.
"Huh? Miss, we have just come up, why do we have to go ashore? Sit down a little longer! "Ah Zhu is still reluctant to go ashore so quickly.
"I suddenly felt a little unwell." Jiang Rou glanced at Fang Cai's boat with her afterglow as she spoke, and was shocked that Cui Yalan's boat was actually rowing to the shore with her boat.
Jiang Rou went ashore and quickly forgot the direction of the inn and walked away, her mind was a little confused, she didn't want to expose herself so soon.
"Miss, aren't you feeling unwell? You go a little slower. Ah Zhu watched the young lady walk quickly, and hurriedly reminded her.
There was a sudden burst of cheers from the crowd near the flower platform, Jiang Rou followed the cheers, and on the flower platform, Wei Yingying was playing the pipa on the stage.
Jiang Rou's footsteps suddenly stopped.
What is she afraid of?
Since she has decided to return to the capital, it will only be a matter of time before she meets Cui Yalan.
Below, she actually forgot that she was Jiang Rou, not Chu Yue, she didn't know Cui Yalan at all, and running away in a panic was the way to mess up.
Thinking of this, Jiang Rou took off the veil on her face.
It just so happened that the past two days have been either veils or masks, and she is really about to suffocate her.
Jiang Rou had a sneer on her face, tonight, Cui Yalan is afraid that she won't be able to sleep! Jiang Rou turned around, Cui Yalan was really not far away, looking for someone.
"Miss, why don't you leave?" Ah Zhu followed Jiang Rou's line of sight, what was Miss looking at?
"Nothing? My jade pendant is gone, maybe it just fell somewhere, accompany me back to find it! ”
At this time, Cui Yalan had already walked in front of Jiang Rou a few meters away,
In front of her, she looked at Jiang Rou, and her legs suddenly seemed to be filled with lead, extremely heavy.
"Month... Yue'er..." Cui Yalan opened her mouth and couldn't say anything anymore.
Jiang Rou sneered in her heart, but there was no change on her face, she didn't seem to see anything,
Just as she was about to walk past Cui Yalan, Cui Yalan suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang Rou's arm.
Jiang Rou looked surprised.
"Yue'er, you're not dead, are you?"
Cui Yalan's excited body began to tremble.
Jiang Rou thought to herself, but her face looked unaware.
"Girl, what are you talking about, if there is nothing to do, I'll leave first!"
Jiang Rou raised her hand to break away from Cui Yalan's hand and walked towards the lake.
Hehe! Scared? I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep tonight.
Jiang Rou walked not far away and looked at Cui Yalan, who was still standing in place, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes.
Just now, as long as she raised her finger, she could immediately poison Cui Yalan like her brother Cui Yi.
But she didn't want that.
This brother and sister, dead, is too cheap for them, she must torture them well. Let them lose their favorite things little by little, and then die a painful death.
On the second day, in a dilapidated Qinglou in the back alley of Huajie, Jiang Rou and the old bustard of the Qinglou sat face to face, and Ah Zhu stood behind Jiang Rou.
"Is there a deal?"
Jiang Rou raised her eyes and swept over the five rubies the size of pigeon's eggs in excellent color on the table, and asked the bustard opposite.
This old bustard obviously has never seen anything in the world, from the time she took out these rubies to the present, she was stunned for a long time without saying anything, and only then did she come back to her senses when she heard Jiang Rou's urging.
"Girl, let me confirm again, do you really want to exchange these five rubies for my Qinglou?"
The old bustard was a little suspicious, although her Qinglou is now ruined, but she also saw good things when she was young.
The size and color of this ruby are worth a thousand taels of silver, to say the least!
Her Qinglou is about to go out of business, and this girl wants to exchange these rubies?
"Yes!" Jiang Rou replied lightly.
"I'll sell you the Qinglou, you just came here, and I should be the mother here?" The bustard continued.
The bustard is a little incredible, this girl must have a broken brain.
"Yes!"
The bustard wanted to say something more, Jiang Rou grabbed the purse on the table: "Forget it, since you don't want to, then I'll go to another house." ”
Jiang Rou was just about to stand up, but the old bustard grabbed Jiang Rou's sleeve and looked flattering: "Yes, I am willing!" ”
Honggu is also a neat person, and when she signed with Jiang Rou, she took the title deed of the house to Jiang Rou.
After Jiang Rou and Honggu successfully reached a deal, they packed up their things with Ah Zhu that afternoon.
Moved into the Chunjiao Pavilion to live.
Honggu's movements are very sharp, Jiang Rou and Ah Zhu
When she came, Honggu had already cleaned up her room and gave it to Jiang Rou.
This is Chunjiao Pavilion
The best room.
Jiang Rou glanced at the room and didn't go in.
"Honggu, you remember. From now on, you are my boss, and I am just a girl in your Chunjiao Pavilion. ”
After speaking, Jiang Rou led Ah Zhu into the corner room on the second floor.
