After getting off the sedan chair, Mu Lan couldn't help but stop and looked back at the sky outside the red wall in the distance.

Since then, her world has never been the same again.

Mu Lan is a person who likes to take his fate firmly in his own hands, and he wants to live an ordinary life.

I never imagined that one day, I would be like a paper kite swaying in the air, gently jumping into this side, the most beautiful world in the world, the most noble cage in the world.

In the days to come, if you don't want to drift with the wind, you must only walk on thin ice and take steps forward.

Fortunately, Mu Lan is a person who is always looking forward to her own takeoff.

Those who are willing to take off are looking forward. Even in the face of bleak wind and cold rain, it will be indomitable and move forward forever.

On the way here, Mu Lan had already paid the dowry that his father had spent almost half of his family wealth on for himself and handed it over to Rishengchang Commercial Bank as a pawn mortgage.

The shopkeeper of the trading house, Liao, seemed to be quite impressed by Mu Lan since the first time he dealt with her.

If it was last time, it was Mu Lan who sold the only valuable jade bracelet on his body, just to support his mother who lived alone at home, which made him secretly admire.

So this time, she brought a full eight camphor wooden boxes to pawn the bridal, which shocked the shopkeeper Liao.

Eight boxes of jewelry and silk that followed the girl Mu Lan into the fish made Shopkeeper Liao stunned for a while.

In just a few days, how did the delicate girl in front of her raise it and how did she sit on it?

But as the shopkeeper of the No. 1 money bank in the capital, he naturally has a lot of experience, and he is familiar with the rules in the circle.

In their business, as long as the door is open, whether men, women or children, they can enter the door, they are customers. As long as the bill is opened, no matter how much money you have, you can come with the ticket, and you have to exchange it for silver.

Therefore, Mu Lan didn't say much, so he didn't ask much, but just gave an order, called all the guys in the store, and counted all the items in the eight camphor wood boxes together.

Except for one thing, Mu Lan entrusted all the things to the Rishengchang Commercial Bank through the hands of the shopkeeper Liao, and signed a written agreement in person, and like the last agreement, the commercial bank cashed the accounts for his hometown mother every month.

Because of the huge amount of custody this time, the shopkeeper Liao specially suggested that each time the local commercial bank could send additional commissioners to send the silver taels that should be paid in cash on a monthly basis, according to the reason for Mu Lan's salary for Mu Mu's father, and personally send it to Mu Mu Ying's house to sign for receipt.

Mu Lan naturally accepted it happily, bent the corner of Liao's shopkeeper's mouth, and nodded with satisfaction.

If she can properly protect her mother's thoughtfulness, what worries and fears will she have for the rest of her life?

The Diamond Sutra says that there is no fear.

She asked herself if she was not full of wisdom, and she never had unwarranted delusions, and she would be able to rise to the top one day.

Before entering the palace, she was clear in her heart and clearly what she wanted. That's why I worked every step of the way, not hesitating to use myself as a bargaining chip for this, and worked hard to find what I wanted.

Only in this way can she eliminate the biggest obstacle in her heart, so that after entering the palace, she can live openly and tenaciously like a weed.

For example, Mu Lan carried the small blue cloth pattern burden she carried, like a herring fish entering the abyss, took a step forward, and stood refreshingly among the candidate show girls in front of her.

Where the girls are, it's always chirping.

Even the waiting time is filled with your words and my words.

Mu Lan is always the quietest one among a group of flowers.

The girls are talking about what you say and I say, whose skirt style is more up-to-date, and the new pearl hairpin is more exquisite.

Suddenly, I heard a voice from someone who didn't know: "Look over there!" ”

The girls around couldn't help but gossip and said excitedly.

"See what?"

"Fool, over there!"

"See, see, see, you say, will it be His Royal Highness the Prince?"

"I think it's more like a prince."

"Tsk, what a talent......."

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, I can't even see it!"

As he was talking, he didn't know which sharp-eyed scream: "Not good! He's coming to us! ”

It was as if a small pebble was suddenly thrown into the middle of the lake, and the flowers were like water lilies floating on the surface of the lake, and they were a little panicked in an instant.

"Oh, don't push me!"

"Who's pushing you?"

"Alas, you stepped on my shoes......"

.......

Mu Lan was also deeply engulfed in it, swaying around with a lake of water lilies, and could only try to keep her feet on the ground and not fall.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her arm tightly, and almost dragged her to a stumble.

Mu Lan had enough strength to not be dragged down, and was secretly frightened, and before he had time to take a closer look, he knelt down with the layers of show girls in front of him and lowered his head deeply.

I saw a pair of men's soft-bottomed cloth shoes, hurriedly passing by and turning back, from the top of this cluster of flowers, slowly pacing over step by step.

When they reached the end of the column where Mu Lan was, the pair of soft-bottomed cloth shoes stopped for a moment, and then hurried away again.

The show girls kept kneeling with their heads bowed, not daring to raise their heads.

I don't know which one is bold, but secretly saw that the man had left far away, and said with a sigh: "He's gone." Rise up, everybody. ”

Everyone patted the dust on their knees one after another, and they became lively again.

"Eh, who was that prince just now?"

"Who knows, only a pair of cloth shoes were seen."

"I heard that Babeizi is a talent, I don't know if it's his ......"

"I feel more like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"You're too nymphomaniac!"

"What's the matter, the prince hasn't gotten married yet, and it's not like we don't have a chance to ......"

Mu Lan also stood up at this time, reaching out to pat the dirt on his body.

It wasn't until I felt that a pair of eyes were flickering at me that I followed that clear gaze.

Only then did I realize that a show girl next to me in front of me was smiling at herself embarrassedly.

This girl looks like she is about the same age, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, and she is very attractive.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't stand still for a while just now, so I grabbed your arm and almost dragged you down." The girl was a little embarrassed.

Mu Lan didn't care about this, her eyes fell on the distance and said, "What's this, just be careful next time." ”

The two were about to talk a few words, but some of the show girls in front of them were restless and quickly quieted down.

It turned out that it was the aunt who was in charge of the teaching.

Someone whispered: "Yao Muge, come up quickly." ”

The show girl who was called Mu Ge smiled at Mu Lan and nodded slightly, and hurriedly followed to the front.

Everyone calls the palace maid who is responsible for teaching and guiding Aunt Lu.

Aunt Lu usually always has a straight face, and she is never soft on the teaching of the show girls, and the show girls don't like her.

I don't know that the naughty show girl privately gave Aunt Lu the name of "Bitter Cauliflower", probably because it was appropriate, and soon this name spread in secret.

For these rumors, Mu Lan listened, often just smiled, but never spread.

There are some things that can be known by heart, so why preach them, it is not beneficial to others or to oneself.

Mu Lan's personality can always attract some friends with similar temperaments, and he can always provoke some inexplicable enemies.

But she has never taken them seriously, and she is not like some show girls, who quarrel over a little thing for three days, or vomit each other for half the weather.

These days, Mu Lan has only been concentrating on one thing.

Autumn is getting stronger, and the half moon passes in a blink of an eye.

Their group of show girls, after several rounds of selection and competition of Xiujin and broom, the girls who are finally qualified to stay are almost half less than when they first entered the palace.

The show girl who was flirted with the brand, some people are happy, and some people are sad.

And vice versa, the show girl who was flipped over the brand is just as excited and some as worried.

Compared with female celebrities, Mu Lan is not outstanding. It's just that the victory is strong in comprehension.

Under the careful guidance of the aunt of the embroidery workshop, she actually changed her habit of disliking female celebrities, and made rapid progress with a breath of self-discipline and self-discipline, and finally was successfully selected for the final examination roster.

On every sleepless night, Mu Lan thought more than once about how those people in Mufu would react if she was teased off the brand.

In front of her, there is only one avenue of life, and that is to move forward bravely.

When she traveled all the way until she couldn't advance, she firmly blocked her mother behind her.

At this moment, Mu Lan felt that his heart had never been so strong.
