Entering the palace (eighty-nine)
The sedan chair entering the palace has to pass through the most prosperous street in Xuancheng, which is also the business district of Xuancheng, which is composed of several streets crisscrossing each other, and the two sides of the road are lined with shops, but today's prosperous shops are covered by many colorful sedan chairs.
There were already a lot of people gathered on the street, and the noisy discussion was endless, and I looked at the shops and various crowds outside with great interest. Although I went to participate in the competition, I didn't feel a little nervous, but the smell wafting from the pastry shop made my heart itch like scratching, and I couldn't help but stop the sedan chair.
"I heard that this shop is very famous for its dim sum, so why don't you buy some and let your young lady try them." I said in a cheerful tone.
Xiaohong seemed to want to say something, but I waved my hand to interrupt and signal her to go, but she didn't say anything and ran to the shop.
I breathed a sigh of relief, the sun was so shining, the white clouds in the sky were big and big, and the blue sky was exposed in the gaps, which was very beautiful.
Xiaohong was very efficient, and after a while, I saw her running back with a bag in her hand, and she was about to run to my sedan chair, but a sedan chair suddenly appeared from our side.
The speed is so fast, I was worried, and reflexively yelled at Xiaohong "Be careful",
Before the words fell, only a "pop" sound was heard, and Xiaohong was hit to the ground by the sedan pole in front of him in an instant, and the pastry in his hand flew straight to the sky and fell down on the top of the sedan chair.
"Which wild girl is it, soiling my lady's sedan chair!" The sedan chair stopped, and the black and tall girl beside the sedan chair spoke evilly.
Xiaohong slowly got up from the ground, her knees should have been broken, right? I fainted, but finally steady. Although Zhang taught me that as a lady, I can't show up in the market casually, but my people are injured and abused, and I can't bear such humiliation.
"If you bump into someone else, you don't apologize, but you speak evil first, and you want to come to your master, like you, is also so rude." I got out of the sedan chair and walked over to Xiaohong's side and helped her up.
The girl was deflated, but when she saw that I was brightly dressed, she didn't dare to say anything serious to me, but she still said to Xiaohong fiercely: "You came to hit us, you deserve it!" ”
"All the sedan chairs are moving slowly in turn, and your sedan chair has to be squeezed, so it's yours right?" I said calmly.
The red-topped and yellow-faced sedan chair in front of him lifted the curtain, and a woman in a polka-dotted yellow gauze robe sat in the classroom, shouting outside: "Light sound, don't be like them, enter the palace!" ”
I blocked my breath in my throat, and it sounded like this young lady was not a good thing.
I was about to step forward to reason with her, but Xiaohong tugged at my sleeve and whispered, "Xiaohong, it's okay, let's go!" ”
I glared at the master and servant fiercely: "Since my girl promised to let you go, I will give you a step down." However, if you are like this, there will be no good results, and if you have the ability, we will see you on the field. ”
After speaking, I walked towards my sedan chair, Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief, of course I understood her thoughts, when I was in the General's Mansion, Zhang's thousand instructions, I naturally did not want to expand the situation, but thinking about the rotten face of the "dotted girl" just now, it was very relieving.
The inspection at the gate of the palace was very strict, and the sedan chairs of each family were required to stop, and people had to get off the sedan chair, and only after checking them one by one did they get on the sedan chair again. On the way into the palace, I found that Xiaohong's hand, there was an extra sign with "78" written on it, the sedan chair driver seemed to get the instruction, and walked directly to the depths of the palace.
The place where I stopped was the first time I came, and Xiaohong and I invariably looked around, "Shuxiang Zhai", and there were three big characters written on the curtain of the door. After entering, we found that here is a step by step change of scenery, this Shuxiangzhai is a considerable size of the garden, there are a number of small independent courtyards close together, the yard where I live, is No. 78, this is a two-storey building, the first floor seems to be a place to eat, open the window, into the eyes is the verdant lotus pond, the time has come, the pond is full of buds to the extent of wanting to release. We went up to the second floor, the sun shines in, the breeze sends a faint fragrance, there is a large room and a small room on the second floor, just two people live, the utensils in the house are readily available, I think it is to give the contestants a good rest environment.
There was a sound of talking and laughter downstairs, and the contestants should have lived in like this, right?
"Come here!" I beckoned to Little Red, there was clean paper and gauze in the room, I took those things and handed them to Little Red.
"Wrap your wounds and don't infect people."
Tears rolled in Xiaohong's eyes, and she took her things and went into the hut to understand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, take a rest and gather in the courtyard at sunset." There was a voice from downstairs.
The race is about to start and my spirits are lifted.
When I went downstairs to the courtyard, I suddenly noticed a familiar face flashing among the people. My eyelids jumped involuntarily. That face is young and charming, it is Qinzhen.
Wearing a light silk gown, her eyebrows are slender and picturesque, although her face is slightly powdered, but her complexion is a little pale, as if she has been in a place without sunlight for a long time.
was looking at her from afar, but heard a grandmother's voice suddenly sound: "Next, the doctor will announce the rules of the competition for everyone." ”
I saw a eunuch forty miles away, dressed in green clothes, step forward and began to explain the rules of the game. As he began to speak, my attention gradually turned to the rules of the game, and I slowly relaxed my tense body.
"This competition is divided into two parts. The first stage was held by the lotus pond behind this Shuxiang Zhai, using the method of three rounds of elimination. Mainly test piano skills, dance skills, calligraphy and painting, and poetry. The second stage is carried out among the 30 winners, mainly physical fitness tests, female red competitions, etc. ”
My heart "chuckled" and tightened, oh no, Zhang didn't teach me to be a female celebrity or anything like that.
The beauties around seemed to be very excited, and some of them were still frowning.
