But people come and go, but there is no familiar figure, Hua Yixiang opened a pair of eyes, trying to find it from the crowd, even if it was an outline, a shadow...... She blinked very slowly, as if someone she could find a moment ago would never be seen again.

She looked at the strange and huge capital, magnificent and prosperous, simple and heavy, this is the place that belongs to him.

"Xiangxiang ......" Qian Baiguo chased after him, and his tone was a little stunned.

Hua Yixiang shook her head, looked up at the sky slightly, her eyes were a little sour from the sun, she tried her best to restrain the feeling of wanting to cry, and then she smiled and said: "It's okay, it's all in the capital, there is always a way out, don't worry." ”

Qian Baiguo was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed again: "Yes! ”

Saying that, she couldn't help but step forward and hugged Hua Yixiang, and patted her back comfortingly, "Good Xiangxiang, we don't cry, such an ignorant stinky man, some of them regret it......"

Hua Yixiang heard this, but she still held back and didn't vent, her eyes were full of light, and she nodded firmly, "I won't cry anymore." ”

"Well done!" Qian Baiguo let go of her and patted her on the shoulder heroically, "If you are dumped, you will be dumped, except for life and death, there is no big matter, our Tongqian Village is so proud!" ”

"In addition to life and death, there is also food," Liangyu followed out at some point, squeezed in between the two, touched his little belly, and turned his head to the two of them, "Eating is the most important thing." ”

The little appearance was quite aggrieved, which made Hua Yixiang cry and laugh, Qian Baiguo directly picked up the person and went back to the noodle restaurant over there, "Let's go, eat him ten bowls of noodles first......"

The three of them soon returned to their previous noodle shop, the carriage outside the noodle shop was still parked, the half-opened curtain was about to be lowered, and then the carriage slowly drove away.

The seemingly ordinary carriage drove all the way through South Street, and a tea time came to East Street.

The Yatang Society of the capital gathers the famous ladies of the entire capital, up to the county lord of the princess's mansion of the royal family and nobles, and down to the daughter of the admiral of the nine gates.

said so elegantly, in fact, it is just a crowd of chats and gossip. These nobles in the capital are bored and love to hold various events to attract all kinds of attention from the outside world.

Yatang Society, the façade decoration is still extremely elegant, the courtyard flowers and plants are repaired happily, the attic is carved simple and elegant, and the flower shelves in the court are the most comfortable, at this time, they gather together, chat and talk about a dozen people, all dressed up flowers and branches, among them, and the Fengtong county lord of the noble princess's mansion is the most gorgeous, not to mention her red silk Luo tunic skirt, the Hainan pearl necklace she wears, the pink jade bead earrings, and the hollow carved fan she holds in her hand at this moment, it is said that it was given by the queen mother herself.

"It's really given by the Queen Mother!"

"Wow, that's pretty."

The surrounding area was full of admiration and flattery, and the county lord of Fengtong played with the fan in his hand proudly, showing her usual disdainful smile from time to time, she enjoyed the pursuit of others, but she looked down on their hypocrisy and exaggeration in her heart.

When she was bored, she saw the curtain show that had just come in.

"The biennial celebrity contest is about to begin, and it's no longer fun to play like before, do you have any good ideas?" With a roll of his eyes, Lord Feng Tong started a topic.

When the women around her saw her glance at the rolling show that was silently seated on the periphery, they knew that the show was about to start.

"I have an idea." A woman in a goose yellow skirt couldn't wait to answer.

"Li Siyu, you don't usually have any good ideas, but you have to think it through." Another woman in a dark blue gauze skirt and a light blue shawl laughed and talked.

This is a hint to her to think clearly about the position.

The second lady of the Li family, the boudoir is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the woman in the blue gauze skirt is the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Chu. 's father is a direct subordinate of the other party's father, and Li Si is naturally obedient to Zhao Chu, so he smiled again at the moment: "Chu Chu, you reminded me right, I am used to being reprimanded by the elders in the family for being too stupid, so it's better not to mention it." ”

"You're not bored, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing."

"It's like, if you have a good idea, just talk about it."

"Li Siyu, say it quickly, you don't listen to Zhao Chu's words, she has no idea herself, and she can't mention it to others?"

Other people complained in all kinds of ways, and the words of dissatisfaction came one after another, Li Xiyu's face was a little embarrassed, and Zhao Chu still had a smile on his face, but he didn't let go of his mouth, as if he hadn't heard those words.

"Okay, the noise hurts my ears," Lord Feng Tong waved his hand, everyone was silent, she turned the fan in her hand on the one hand, sneered at the curtain show on the other, and said loudly: "I think of something interesting myself." ”

Under everyone's gaze, the county lord of Feng Tong said unhurriedly, "In the past, I always bet on which newcomer can win the championship, where is it more interesting than going on the field in person." ”

All the people in the courtyard looked at her, as if they couldn't understand this proposal, the Red Man Contest is the selection of the 'Red Man Building' held in the capital, once every two years, there is no special restriction on the number of participants, but it must have the characteristics of 'Red', the competition system and rules have also undergone various reforms, very formal, and the leader of the Red Man will not only get rich rewards, but also be entered into the 'Red Man List' by the Red Man Building.

Every time the Redman Tournament is held, it will usher in the attention of the royal relatives and ordinary people in the capital, which is interesting enough, and there is also the promotion behind the Redman Building, and various gimmicks occupy a hot position after tea and dinner.

"I know that everyone holds their own identities and doesn't want to be judged, especially some people who have already made a marriage and are not suitable to show their heads," Feng Tong County Lord tapped his palm, glanced around with the overall situation, and clicked a few people, "You can not participate yourself, find someone to replace you." ”

"In other words, the identity of the person who competes on my behalf is also mine?" A girl who was in the spot asked with a little novelty.

"Yes, I believe everyone can understand it at one point," Lord Feng Tong nodded with satisfaction, and added a few more points, "Others, if you want to find someone to replace you, it's not impossible, as long as you can afford to lose, in this competition, the winner will not only have all the bounties of the Red Man Building, but I will also give another big gift, on the contrary, everyone here, if the ranking is lower, the heavier the punishment." ”

Everyone looked solemn, even Zhao Chu didn't maintain a smiling face, they knew too well the temperament of the county lord of Fengtong, and they were too playful, because they were pampered by the queen mother, sometimes even the emperor had a headache for this niece.

This time, I'm afraid that I will lose my sense of proportion again, how to toss them is a small matter, and losing the face of the family is a big matter.

"Has the county lord thought of any punishment?" After seeing Zhao Chu's eyes, Li Siyu asked.

The county lord of Fengtong looked at her, seemed to be smiling, and said: "This varies from person to person, some people are born rich, they will punish her for being poor, some people are naturally docile, they will punish her for rebelling against the family, and some people, if they are delusional, they will punish her, and they will never be delusional." ”

The last sentence fell, and the calm look of the curtain show from beginning to end was finally broken, she subconsciously clenched her fists, and then met the gaze of the county lord of Fengtong.

She didn't move away, after two years, she once again didn't dodge her eyes, and under her restrained look was her turbulent heart.

"Some people rely on their noble status, if they lose, I'm afraid no one will dare to take it seriously." Although the curtain show sat on the outermost periphery, there was no one in front of her, and no one stood in front of her, so that she and the county lord of Fengtong were facing each other directly, without any barrier.

"Do you say that means you want to participate?" Zhao Chu took the conversation, although she asked like this, there was a bit of complexity in her eyes, this person is really not afraid of the county lord of Fengtong.

This scene was naturally the focus, and the people in the courtyard were watching them, waiting to see what would follow.

"I participated, but there was a request," the curtain show slowly got up, she changed into a dress after coming in, a willow-colored emerald cloud outfit, and her makeup was also fresh and comfortable, "The vast majority of the newcomers who have participated in the Red Man Contest over the years are poor people who have nothing, and they come for that reward, so let's participate with our own strength, without the power of outsiders, I believe you will not be afraid of those poor families." ”

"You're too underestimated, right, my dignified county lord can still rely on others, what's the difference between that and cheating?" Feng Tong's face changed, and he still smiled with the victory in his hand, "This time, I will ask the Red Man Building to change the competition system, although it follows the anonymous voting, but the person who votes is designated." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that the county lord of Fengtong had already made enough calculations, and I don't know who gave her the idea, so it was not a big deal to see the excitement.

When the county lord of Fengtong further showed her arrogance and complacency, the girl sitting in the corner slowly left the table, and then left the Yatang Society.

Now that the matter has been done, there is no need to look at it anymore, and after going out and getting into her own carriage, the maid thoughtfully rubbed her legs.

"Looks like it's really fun this time." The girl leaned against the wall of the car and smiled.

She is fifteen or sixteen years old, her appearance is not outstanding, she is delicate and upright, her surname is Lin, and she is the daughter of Shaoqing of Taifu Temple.

In the courtyard just now, Lin Xi's identity was not prominent, it could be said that it was a little worse, and no one noticed that he left quietly.

"Miss, have you found a good candidate?" The maid was obviously a confidant, and she knew what she was planning in her heart, so she reminded softly, "Why don't you go to Yi City while it's still early?" Just after the rainy season, there were several floods in the south, and many people were displaced to the capital. ”

"Little clever ghost, what you can think of, where can't those noble girls of the family think of it, I'm afraid that Yi Shi is going to set off a boom these days." Lin Xi raised his hand and tapped the maid's head, then turned sideways slightly to adjust his posture, and said lazily, "I have found a wonderful person, it depends on whether she can take the bait." ”

*

When I went out of the Xilai Inn, I was greeted by a burst of heat, Hua Yixiang frowned, and his steps were faster.

Qian Baiguo shouted loudly as he walked: "It's hot, and the capital is too hot......

Hua Yixiang pursed her lips and smiled, but said easily: "It's good to get used to it." ”

Seeing Qian Baiguo glaring at her, he hurriedly added: "You really found out how to make money?" Don't make trouble. ”

"Hehe......" At the mention of this, Qian Baiguo grinned very cunningly, and Hua Yixiang was so tired of laughing at her.
