Chapter 9 Mistakenly Entering the Recruiting Relatives and Grabbing the Hydrangea (I)
Belch!
I haven't eaten for a day, and I eat too much. When I came out of the food stall, it was already dark. She walked along the path by the pond and found an inn to settle down in.
Contrary to eating, for accommodation, she does not choose a store with many people, and wants to sleep quietly; Do not choose a store with few people to prevent the black store from being slaughtered; I don't choose to take the initiative to solicit customers, most of them have pits. When the food was almost consumed, she happened to fall in love with a simple decoration, and the shopkeeper heard that she intended to stay together, so he specially arranged a good guest room.
After walking for a day, Hua Mo didn't have time to unpack the baggage, took off her shoes and fell directly on the soft futon, patted her stomach and fell asleep with satisfaction.
The second day of Tongcheng.
If it weren't for the loud drumming downstairs and the occasional sound of horses' hooves, she would have slept into the afternoon. finally ended the work and rest time of the three good students in Hefu, which ignorant one is disturbing people's dreams?
She rubbed her eyes, got up and pushed open the window, and the door of the inn opposite was crowded with people, all of them men, looking like they were going to charge inside. The balconies on each floor are also hung with red lanterns and tied with colored silk tents, which is very lively.
Is this an opening event? She opened the door and poked her head out and stopped the shopkeeper who was hurrying through the corridor.
"Guest officer, this is Miss Lin throwing hydrangeas to recruit relatives."
"Recruiting relatives?"
"Yes, Master Lin is a well-known wealthy businessman in our Tongcheng, although he has no children under his knees, he especially loves this only pearl in his palm. This time, he recruited a son-in-law, saying that no matter his family background, as long as his daughter likes it. β
"Sounds good." It seems that there were also enlightened parents in ancient times.
"That's not it, look at my outfit today, it's okay hahahaha." Xiao Er patted his chest and showed off his new clothes in a stinky manner, "Oh, I won't talk to you yet, I have to hurry up and seize this good opportunity." "With that, the rocket rushed out.
Hua Mo touches his chin, the ancient live-action roadshow version throws hydrangeas? That's going to have to be a bit of fun.
She washed up briefly, carried her bag and stepped out of the inn, and the opposite door opened. The candidates rushed in, and several family members scrambled to maintain order and distribute love number plates to each candidate.
An old man who looked like a housekeeper stood in the center of the hall on the first floor with his waist on his back, and raised his hands to signal: "Sons, don't be impatient, don't be impatient!" The old man announced that the recruitment meeting was about to beginβ"
"It's going to be, it's going to be The men in front nervously packed up a few hairstyles. Huamo followed behind them, picking a corner against the wall, anyway, it was just a lively look, just eat melon seeds.
"The first level, a table of talents." Uncle Housekeeper cleared his throat, "As the name suggests, it means that it looks good and dresses generously. Our lady will personally select four sons who fit their eyes to enter the second round, please show your brand! β
Listening to the "squeak" of the guest room on the second floor, Miss Lin's slender jade hand was on the maid's arm, and she slowly moved out of the door, her graceful and delicate figure leaned on the railing, and the mysterious veil was half-concealed and looming, revealing only a pair of bright eyes.
"Wow-" There was an uproar downstairs, and the temperament of the beauty really couldn't be covered.
Lin Jiao'er looked down at the group of men who came for her downstairs, and Hua Mo felt that she was also stared at for a few seconds. After a while, Lin Jiaoer whispered a few words in the maid's ear, and the maid went downstairs and handed the housekeeper a note.
"Congratulations on the 8th, 17th, and 54th!" The uncle paused, put down the note, and squinted his presbyopia eyes and pointed at the flower foam, "And the boy with a straw hat and black scarf who stood in the corner and didn't get the number plate......"
Foam pointing at her chest in disbelief? No way?
Not only did she not believe it, but the other candidates were also unwilling-
"Why do you fancy such a straw hat?"
"That's it, I didn't expect Miss Lin to have a very heavy taste, and she likes this kind of ruffian."
"That's right, it's you! Isn't it a surprise? The uncle nodded at her encouragingly, "Congratulations to the above four sons for standing out and successfully entering the second round!" β
The shopkeeper of the original inn also came over excitedly to congratulate her: "Guest officer, you are so lucky, you can be selected without a number plate!" "It's a pity that I didn't get hit with the new clothes I bought, which is really a loss.
Hua Mo is still a little confused, how can you eat a melon quietly and suddenly become a melon itself? You don't have to buy lottery tickets, the jackpot falls from the sky.
A certain family member walked up to her and stuffed the handkerchief of the representative into her hand: "This way, please, Childe." β
I can't run away now, so I can only bite the bullet. Some of the unsuccessful people in the hall returned disappointed, and some stayed to eat melons, she followed the family to the stage, and the three selected people just now had consciously stood in a row and waited, and the expression on her face was also visible to the naked eye. Hua Mo awkwardly hid to the side, silently telling herself in her heart that she was just going through the motions in a low-key manner, and it was okay.
"In the second round, the exit is a chapter. This round will be personally asked by our master-" As soon as the words fell, the screen behind the housekeeper was pulled open, and an old man with a big belly closed the tea lid, stood upright, and paced in front of the four of them with his back hand, smiling lightly and looking at them one by one.
Presumably he is Master Lin, Hua Mo muttered in her heart. She is familiar with this beer belly, the same style as her previous customers, and most of them are for business and entertainment, and they drink alcohol. But according to her experience, this type of customer still has more eyes and is not as easy to get along with as it seems on the surface.
"In the vast sea of people, it is rare and rare for the four sons and the little girl to have this fate." Master Lin stroked his beard and said the scene, "Our little girl has been friends with the third son of Lord Shoufu in the capital and the son of the governor of Caoyun since she was a child, and the fate is not shallow. I advocate that from the beginning of this round, the two sons will also participate in recruiting relatives. β
As soon as the words fell, two beautiful men appeared from behind. The young man in Tsing Yi on the left flicked his sleeves in a chic manner, full of heroism. And the one on the right is well-defined, dressed in a refined white robe, and so on, a white robe...... Isn't it the rude guy who laughed at her washing chopsticks yesterday?
Leng Ningjun witnessed the first round of the process later, originally he participated in the recruitment of relatives only because of his father's friendship and business contacts, and it was also difficult to resist, so he wanted to give the Lin family some face to support the field. I thought I was going to pass the day boringly, but after seeing Huamo being chosen, he thought this recruitment was really interesting.
He met her gaze, the corners of his mouth curled in a full curvature. Sensing that her peeking had been discovered, she turned her face away as if nothing had happened.
Two high-quality players were parachuted in for no reason, and most of the audience seats below were men who had just been defeated, so they couldn't help but cry:
"What, didn't you say that you don't consider your family background?"
"It seems fair, but it turns out that there is a hand behind it!"
"Sure enough, there is no treachery or business, and I still want toads to eat swan meat, so let's disperse, go back to wash and sleep!"
Master Lin was not in a hurry, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me!" There is no shady scene in this recruitment, and everything is based on the decision of the little girl on the spot, which can be witnessed by everyone here. If there is a little bit of falsehood......" he paused and continued to smile, "You can publicize that Lin Mou has one thing on the surface and one thing behind his back, and he is a profiteer who has no word to be trusted!" β
The words have come to this, and no matter how indignant the others are, they can only shut up. After all, the rules of the game are set by others, and all the right of interpretation belongs to him, Master Lin. Now that people are so rich, they have the right to marry a good family in the future, who would dare to say that he is not half a sentence outside?
"Well said it, sir!" The housekeeper took the lead in sending colorful red farts to Master Lin, and the maids and maids also echoed, and there was scattered applause in the venue.
"Thank you for your support, and now Lin will announce the topic of the second round." Master Lin clapped his hands happily, and the two family members came to the stage and opened a picture scroll.
"Please summarize the scene in the painting in one sentence from the six sons, and there will be four places in this round to enter the next round, all of which will be decided by the old man."
Ink outlines a simple landscape, isn't this the essay topic for the second grade of primary school, look at the picture and speak? Hua Mo touched her chin and thought, choose four out of six, those two related households must account for two places, and choose two of the remaining four, it will definitely not be her turn, safe!
She was still flukely calculating the rate, and the young man in Tsing Yi, one of the related households, couldn't wait to walk to the C position: "I'll come first!" βγ He has been in love with Lin Jiaoer for many years, so he naturally wants to seize the opportunity to show it in front of everyone.
"Green water surrounds Cangshan, a song is free!"
"Good!" Master Lin nodded heavily, very satisfied with the performance of this nephew.
Contestant No. 8 took a step forward and followed closely: "The sun and the moon shine with the stars, reflecting the heroes." β
"Well, that's good." I can pay attention to the characters in the painting, and I am quite careful. Master Lin glanced at No. 8 appreciatively, but it was a pity that he was not a relation, no matter how good his talent was, it was useless, and then immediately set his eyes on the white robe.
Leng Ningjun knew it in his heart, and as soon as he turned the fan, he opened his mouth and came: "The grass and flowers are shadowless, and tomorrow is better than today." β
"Yay! Good! Master Lin applauded vigorously, and it was difficult to hide his appreciation for Leng Ningjun. If these two related households let him choose, he himself would be more biased towards Leng Ningjun. Although the Shoufu family is powerful, there are two older brothers who have already married above the third son, and this one is actually bigger than a fist. And Leng Ningjun is the only son of the governor of Caoyun, and now the shipping is prosperous, and he will definitely inherit his father's business and sit on the power of money in the future.
Oh, let's put on a show, pompous! Hua Mo silently rolled her eyes at Leng Ningjun's back.
"Next." In an instant, the three seeded players had finished performing, but no one picked up. Why are you not conscious? Old Man Lin glanced at the remaining No. 17, No. 54 and ...... with disgust Uh, when did my daughter like this wild dress? He casually pointed, "That's the big man with the straw hat." β
Sure enough, since the beginning of college electives, Hua Mo can't escape the curse of being named. Alas, just fool around, anyway, the remaining two look dignified, and it is estimated that they will not be worse than her.
She stiffened her head and lowered her voice: "Ah, the lake! You're big and shallow! β
The people on the stage were stunned, and for a while, Master Lin didn't know how to answer. There was silence in the audience at first, I don't know who started to burst into laughter for the first time, and the others also burst into laughter.
"At this level hahahaha, I'm better than him if I haven't read a book!"
"Oh, come down, replace me!"
Although Hua Mo is a little embarrassed, her goal has been achieved, looking at Master Lin's embarrassed eyes, I can't wait to let her go off the stage immediately.
"Wonderful!" Master Lin just wanted to comment and humiliate him, but Leng Ningjun took the first step to speak, and couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at him.
Wonderful? Bloomer looked at him in surprise, thinking she had misheard.
Wonderful? At? Which? Village?
