Hua Yixiang looked at the red building in front of her, it was really eye-catching, full of red paint, and the door plaque was written with the three big words "Red Building", she asked curiously: "Baiguo, are you sure this is not the place of fireworks?" ”

"Of course not."

Just hearing this name doesn't look like a serious place at all, she frowned slightly, and shook her head disapprovingly, "It looks like a matchmaker's house, let's find other ways." ”

Qian Baiguo hurriedly pulled to go inside: "It's all here, why don't you have to take a look, and the place I inquired about is still for living, and there will be no place if it's late." ”

They came to the capital for two days, stayed in the inn for two nights, it was too expensive, and the only remaining money spent on Yixiang was not enough to pay for tomorrow's room, she thought that she could find a place to make a living after coming, how do you know that the shops here are not recruiting, it turned out that most of the shops are the industry of the nobles in the capital, and the shopkeepers who take care of the shops for them are all from the house, and the workers hired are mostly family slaves, and they will also recruit new ones at the end of the year every year, recruit a group of slaves who can sign the life and death contract to work in the house, and then release the various shop helpers after management and training, A small number of them are merchants' shops, and the employees are all long-term workers, with a construction period of five years and ten years.

After running for two days, Hua Yixiang completely rested her mind, either to sign a long-term deed or to sell herself, and some to mortgage...... What does she have to mortgage? There are many people who see that she looks good, and ask her if she wants to go to the nobleman's mansion to do things, although the words are not said directly, but the eyes are clearly hinting, and she was very flustered when she asked, and quickly refused to turn her head and left.

Compared with her, Qian Baiguo is even more miserable, as soon as she heard that she wants to eat five bowls of rice at a time, and she has to have meat for a meal, she has no strength to work without meat, no one dares to ask her at all, and she says straight: she eats more than men, and they hire her as well as hire a strong man, making her so angry that she jumps to her feet, scolding them for not being knowledgeable: eat too much and do too much, where do you go to find me like this......

If it weren't for Hua Yixiang, the job would not be found, and they would have to quarrel, so the two discussed that they would send Liangyu to his family first, but before Hua Yixiang could speak, Liangyu cried first, and my sister didn't leave me one by one, and the two who cried couldn't give it away.

Qian Baiguo sighed again and again, this is a piece of dog skin plaster, and he can't tear it off if he sticks it.

"If I hadn't gone to buy steamed buns in the morning and listened to the owner of the steamed bun shop, I wouldn't have known that there would be many grand events in this capital, what a thousand flowers banquet, spring travel, elegant and vulgar poetry appreciation meeting, the recent one is called the Red Man Contest, the reward for the first place is one hundred gold, my God, one hundred taels of gold......

Speaking of this hundred taels of gold, Qian Baiguo's voice was about to break, she seemed to see the golden one hundred gold, and she was so excited that she almost didn't break the flower with her hand.

"It hurts, it hurts, let go of my hand first," Hua Yixiang pulled out her hand, a circle of red marks on her thin wrist, she rubbed her wrist, and Fang sighed, "How can a pie fall from the sky, we have to find something to do in a down-to-earth manner, not to mention how to get this hundred gold, and we don't feel at ease when we get such money......

"That's not true."

The two of them at the door have not yet come up with a result, is coming out of the door of a person, the face is like a disc, full of blessings, is really fat and round, but the maintenance is very delicate, it is difficult to teach people to see her age, she looks at the flowers with fragrance, it can be regarded as the best beauty she has ever seen, especially so pure and clean, just look at it and feel into the eyes, see it forgetful, happy, the light that comes out of her eyes, and Qian Baiguo talked about a hundred gold, the same.

"This girl, our Hongrenlou has been open in the capital for 20 years, so naturally we have something to rely on, even the official woman came to participate in the competition, and this reward is also because of its fame, which comes from a source and takes it in a good way."

She said and then made a gesture to invite them into the door, "If the two of you can trust me Zhen Hong, you will enter and talk in detail, you can rest assured, the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there will be patrols from the city defense battalion on this street at any time." ”

Hua Yixiang wanted to say something, but was dragged inside by Qian Baiguo, "Aunt Zhen, you lead the way, we won't be afraid when we come." ”

Zhen Hong, who is twenty-eight years old, was crooked, and almost tripped over herself, for so many years, no one has ever called her aunt so directly, her face is so deceptive?

Hua Yixiang couldn't help but secretly purse her lips and smile when she heard this title, she quietly pinched Qian Baiguo's hand, and the latter glanced at her for some reason, while making a lip shape: "Let's take a look......"

Say okay and take a look, come into the building, look at the decoration and elegance everywhere, Qian Baiguo snorted from time to time, his eyes lingered, and when he entered the elegant hall on the third floor, Zhen Hong's tea and snacks were entertained, and Qian Baiguo's attention began to shift.

After only a while, Zhen Hong seemed to see that Qian Baiguo was a relatively easy point to break, and enthusiastically introduced the various pastries on the table to her, while talking about the unusual features of this red building.

In the 20 years since its establishment, the Red Man Building has held a total of 10 Red Man Tournaments, and there are several reasons why it can become the premier event in Beijing.

One is the novelty of the celebrity competition, neither restricting the participants, nor limiting the audience, but there is a very fair evaluation system, and each competition question is also unusual, the results of anonymous voting are always incredible, such as the last session, there is a competition question is to recite a stone inscription backwards, very tricky, there were only five players left with the competition, there are old and young, and there is an old man among the three people who finally advanced, although he is not the most memorized words, nor the most smooth, but he is a blind man, Relying on his own hand to find out word by word, and then recite it in a short time, his actions won the applause of the audience.

The second is the gimmick of the celebrity competition, among which there are many powerful people behind the push, and the final winner of the red has a reward, and can also enter the 'celebrity list', which is a great opportunity for ordinary people.

The celebrity list is one of the four major billboards in Beijing, and being on the list means that you are a man of the hour, a person from the celebrity building, and the celebrity building is also quite a status in the capital.

The third red man has played a red man, is a rare, amazing character, is the first emperor's favorite concubine Zhen, it is rumored that he has been favored for ten years, the heir of the king of Huan, but also after the current saint ascended the throne, the only one who did not have relatives to stay in the capital, although there is no descendant of her in this capital, but her legend endures and spreads widely.

"That's all there is to do in this celebrity competition, I am also a steward in this celebrity building, if you want to participate, I will take you personally, from the beginning to the end, I am responsible for all your things," Zhen Hong's mouth is very neat, and her voice is as bold as Qian Baiguo, she looked at Hua Yixiang intently, and said, "You need to participate seriously, and leave everything else to me." ”

Hua Yixiang still smiled, she didn't want to participate at all, she honestly revealed: "You found the wrong person, I really don't participate, I accompanied her to have a look." ”

Qian Baiguo swallowed the melon seeds' hand, she spit out the melon seed shell, then cleared her voice unhurriedly, and said solemnly, "That's true, Aunt Zhen, look at me, do I have the potential to become a celebrity." ”

Zhen Hong: "......"

She let out a long breath slowly, feeling that her brain hurt, was it an illusion?

*

The stone path under the feet is slightly slippery after stepping on it for a long time, extremely dark color, the moss in the crevices is very lively, on both sides are towering ancient trees, straight to the sky, covering in the air, such as shrouded in a big umbrella, the wind passes, rattling, late summer and early autumn is a good place to cool off the heat.

The man standing in the forest, as if immersed in this seclusion, faced the burrow not far away, two years, it has not changed at all, the sun and rain, why has it not collapsed.

The noon sun couldn't come in, only occasionally there were small flashes of light, like an elf that had fallen into the dust by mistake, Fu Shi always stood with his hands behind his back, and he didn't move a step, he was engrossed and stared.

The dark guard was hidden in the shadow of the tree, and he had been watching Fu Shi's back, and his long-term concentration made him nervous, especially when this place was too quiet, until a series of footsteps came, he felt that the whole person was unsealed from the depression and quickly hid to a more secret place.

"My lord, the emperor summoned me, and the father-in-law who delivered the decree has been waiting for a while."

Fu Shi didn't seem to hear it, and still stood in place.

Fu Xiaoshen, who was waiting for the message, wondered if he was going to go back to send the eunuch who sent the message, Fu Shi retracted his gaze, and then turned around and walked towards him.

"What?" He asked.

"That father-in-law is very tight-mouthed, and he refuses to reveal that he is a newcomer who entered the palace last year," Fu Xiaoshen's voice was lowered, as if he lacked courage, "It may be that I don't know the identity of the adult." ”

If the older group of people in the palace know people when they hear it, Fu Shi's temper is also good, but no one dares to test whether this good is true or false.

"Then I'll tell him sometime."

"Yes." Fu Xiaoshen immediately responded, with unsuppressed cheerfulness in his voice.

Fu Shi paused, looked sideways at him, and suddenly asked, "Do you like that girl?" ”

Fu Xiaoshen looked dazed: "My lord, do you mean that girl?" I like it? I ......"

He immediately thought of the girl who was vicious and vicious and snatched food from him, although it was not a good look, but for some reason, it was pleasing and interesting, and he couldn't talk about it, but he did think of it from time to time.

"I didn't!" Fu Xiaoshen shook his head indiscriminately, and then ran away as if he was burning his buttocks.

Fu Shi looked thoughtfully at the direction he ran away, the Fu family has a complex population, but there are not many people in the older generation, especially the old servants who have been waiting for several generations, Fu Xiaoshen's father is the butler of the Fu family for two generations.

"There's no need to transfer the people who followed them back," Fu Shi's expression was cold, and after thinking about it, he explained, "If those people find them, come to me again." ”

"Yes." When the Dark Guard appeared, he quickly left.
