The sun in August is full of the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

Like mushrooms after a rain, the flow of people on the streets of Shuoyang suddenly increased, became extremely lively, large and small inns were almost overcrowded, many people in shabby clothes simply set up bunks on the streets, fortunately, the weather in August was neither hot nor cold, just pleasant.

The carriage was blocked at the entrance of Dongdajie and stopped, and when the curtain was lifted, Li Jun frowned through the window and watched the tidal flow of cars and horses in the square.

"......" The coachman Qin Zhong had already jumped off the wheel, sweating profusely and tugging on the horse's reins, for fear that the horse would kick pedestrians, "There are too many people in front of it, and the carriage can't move......"

"The slave went down to see ...... help catch the car" Qin Jian, who was sitting opposite, was also holding the curtain of the car, frowning and looking at the crowded flow of people outside the car.

"No need to ......" Li Jun closed his fan, "Let's go ......"

"Tianxiang Building is still far from here......" Seeing that Li Jun was about to abandon the car and walk, Qin Jian hurriedly stopped him, "There are a lot of noisy people here, squeeze carefully, in front of this road is the venue of the Douxiang Conference, there are too many people, so the minions will go down first to see if they can make Qin Zhong turn the car around and change the road......"

After talking for a long time, he didn't hear a sound, Qin Jian raised his head violently, where was the shadow of his house in the car?

Busy turned around and pushed the car door again, the white clothes were fluttering, holding a folding fan, and Li Jun was already standing by the carriage at some time.

“…… I didn't say a word when I came down. Qin Jian grumbled and jumped out of the car.

“…… Zhong Er drove the carriage back to Tianxiang Building, "I didn't look back, Li Jun looked at the Wuzhang Square Scarlet Carpet Douxiang venue not far away with Hsinchu, "Then look for me......"

“…… Don't go back to Tianxianglou to eat? Qin Zhong looked up at the sky, "The dart shopkeeper is still waiting for you......"

"Let's go to the Haisheng Inn......" Li Jun saw the unique Haisheng Inn with many signboards in front of him, "Tell Li Dart that I will ...... after lunch" and muttered, "I have never participated in the Douxiang Party in Shuoyang, I didn't think it would be so lively, it was better than the triennial Great Incense Party in Ankang......"

"That's ......" Qin Jian came to Li Jun's side in two steps, stretching out his hand to help him cover the crowded pedestrians, "The people who participate in the Ankang Great Incense Festival are all celebrities in the incense world, how can they be like here, there are three sects, everyone has them, even if you are a person who asks for food, as long as you have skills, you can sign up for the ......" Pointing to the noisy registration office in front of the venue, "Look, isn't there a flower child to sign up, huh......" He suddenly stopped.

Blinking, blinking, he looked at the ragged little girl at the registration desk for a moment.

"Let's go......" glanced at him, Li Jun turned around and left.

", you can help me see if the slave is dazzled......" Qin Jian grabbed him and pointed ahead, "The slave looked at that ragged little girl very much like Ah Qiu......"

“…… Who? Li Jun suddenly turned around.

"That white girl I met in Pingcheng......" Qin Jian rubbed his eyes.

After staring at it for a long time, Li Jun smiled dumbly, "...... She's really capable, she's got millions, and she can make it like this. ”

“…… Is it really her? Qin Jian shouted in astonishment, "She has more than a million, and she is still dressed so poorly?" Seeing the pedestrians turning around, Qin Jian blushed and lowered his voice, "Do you think she is pretending to be poor and addicted?" "No one can squander a million taels of silver in a year.

Even if they could, they wouldn't be so poor that they didn't even have decent clothes

didn't hear the response, Qin Jian turned his head, Li Junzheng looked ahead with a smile, and also turned his head, just when he saw the little official in charge of signing up shaking his head vigorously, waving at Mu Wanqiu with an impatient face, "Hey, the slave looked at the person as if he didn't accept her money and didn't let her sign up?" ”

"Go ......," Li Jun nodded Qin Jian's head with a folding fan, "Let Master Gu take her." After a pause, he said slowly, "Be sure to take her to the ...... of the Daye Li family."

"Hey, the minion is going to ......" Qin Jian responded, the cat's waist squeezed into the crowd, and he stretched out his head again, "You ......"

"I'll wait for you in front......" Li Jun pointed to the front with a fan.

"Minion, don't go far......" As he spoke, Qin Jian was a cat, and he was gone.

"Go, go, go......" The little official in Tsing Yi who was in charge of registration waved his hand to Mu Wanqiu impatiently, "If you can't tell you, it's not okay, go quickly, don't you see that there are still a bunch of people waiting to sign up behind......"

"Please, big brother, you can be accommodating......" Mu Wanqiu sweated profusely and grabbed a bag of copper coins, "I came to line up before dawn, and I was short of a hundred yuan......

Originally, she had silver, but since that day she was expelled by Yao Wu and others, more than half a month, she didn't dare to live in the lock house, and the general inn didn't dare to accept her, as a last resort, Mu Wanqiu lived in the expensive Furong Xiang Inn opened by President Yin, the cheapest room in it also cost 100 yuan a day, plus food and drink, and stayed up until the bill was settled today, she had 100 yuan left in her hand, she thought that the registration was very simple, and she came to line up early in the morning, and she didn't want to wait for the start of registration, and she had to pay a registration fee of one or two silver for the competition.

"No, no, no, how many times have I said it" The little official in Tsing Yi waved his hand impatiently and shouted to the back, "Next ......"

"Just a hundred dollars, please be ...... again"

“…… Accommodating, accommodating, who accommodating me? The little official in Tsing Yi glared, "I can't pay it badly, I'll pay you the hundred yuan" His tone eased, "You have the kung fu to stand here and grind your teeth, you might as well raise money quickly......" and beckoned behind her, "Next ......"

Looking at the pitiful hundred coins in her hand, Mu Wanqiu stubbornly stood there without moving.

"I said, little girl, you can go quickly, and borrow ...... from everywhere" The person behind kindly persuaded her, and unceremoniously pushed her aside.

“…… What's the name? The little official in Tsing Yi lowered his head again and asked as usual.

……

Looking back at the people behind him who were squeezing out one by one, Mu Wanqiu sighed, walked out with heavy steps, and muttered to herself, "It costs so much money to sign up early, it's good that I moved out last night to live on the street...... A hundred dollars, where can I find it? ”

Sannier's monthly salary is handed over to her mother, and her mother only gives her a dozen yuan of pocket money every month, and Sannier's pocket money this month is all given to her; The lock lady sent the lock to the private school in the Li Ji family, and I heard that I paid a year's miscellaneous fees for a year, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pay the money now.

Except for them, Shuoyang has no one willing to help her.

“…… Or would I be like these people and beg from house to house with a bowl? Looking at a brocade not far in front of him throwing a copper coin at the bowl in the hand of a young man called Huazi, Mu Wanqiu thought groggily.

There was a hint of sadness in my heart.

She can endure a lot of suffering, but she really can't let go of it if she abandons her dignity and begs on the street, letting others shout and abuse.

Feeling as if someone was dragging her, Mu Wanqiu raised her head, "...... Someone called you. A stocky woman in her thirties pointed behind her.

Mu Wanqiu turned around.

“…… Say hello to you a few times, deaf? The little official in Tsing Yi just now beckoned to her.

Pursing her lips, Mu Wanqiu was speechless.

"What about you, you ......" the little official in Tsing Yi beckoned to her again, frowning, ", you don't want to sign up?" ”

“…… Big brother Ken let me sign up? Mu Wanqiu's spirit was shocked and she walked up quickly.

“…… If you want to sign up, don't skip words. The little official in Tsing Yi looked her up and down again, and his tone was very polite, "...... There's a contract here, and as long as you sign it, I'll sign it for you. ”

“…… Is it okay to have a hundred silver? Mu Wanqiu's eyes widened, "Contract? ”

"Okay" the little official in Tsing Yi nodded and threw her a contract, "...... See. "I'm afraid that Mu Wanqiu won't sign it, and the little official in Tsing Yi bets that she can't read.

Unexpectedly, Mu Wanqiu looked at it seriously.

Gradually, sweat oozed from the forehead of the young man in Tsing Yi.

“……？” Mu Wanqiu muttered, "If I enter the top two hundred, I have to go to the great cause with the owner, and I have to sign a five-year contract?" "Frowning," ...... How can there be such a good thing? "Looking up at the little official in Tsing Yi," ...... This deed does not say who the owner is and how much is the pay? ”

"This ......" The little official in Tsing Yi scratched his head, he didn't know what was going on, it was the boss who took this contract to him, and asked him to sign it for this little girl.

“…… Little girl, don't be fooled, it's all a lie" Someone behind Mu Wanqiu shouted, "Think about it, how many people can't go to the great cause, how can there be a good thing in the world that pie in the sky is here......"

“…… Little girl, wake up, even if the pie drops, it won't hit you on the head."

The crowd burst into laughter.

“…… Yes, I heard that there are special recruiters for child labor, so they deceived people, and they were not allowed to eat enough every day, nor were they allowed to sleep, but they did not work in black and white, let alone five years, and they died of exhaustion in a year......

“…… I've heard that, little girl, you can't sign it."

"That's it, maybe I'll be sold to J Courtyard."

“……”

Sold to J Hospital?

Hearing this, Mu Wanqiu's heart fluttered.

The shadow of the past life resurfaced in my heart.

She is not afraid of being tired of work, and she is not afraid of not being able to eat, but she is most afraid that the other party is a J courtyard that forces good people to be prostitutes, and there is a vicious mother in it, just like the Chunxianglou in the previous life.

I don't know why, when she mentions going to the great cause, she always feels that she will be inexplicably sold into the J Courtyard, repeating the mistakes of her previous life, a person's life, not that it can be changed, this time, if it is not desperate, she will not agree to go to the great cause if she is dead.

“…… Have you figured it out? The voice of the little official in Tsing Yi was unconfident, and he couldn't finish the errand assigned by the above, I am afraid that he would immediately lose the bowl of eating.

"Well...... hesitate for a moment, Mu Wanqiu looked up at the little official in Tsing Yi, "This contract and the owner are empty, I don't feel ...... in my heart" The tone was very willing, although she was unwilling, but if she couldn't seize this opportunity to leave Shuoyang, then she would only be dead...... Can this big brother allow me to add one? ”

Yes By].
