"It's been six days..."
Xiaohuan sat in the yard, habitually muttering to herself while snapping her fingers.
The uncle and the second lady have been away for six full days, so they should be arriving in the capital soon.
The Lantern Festival was over yesterday, the lady took her to the street to see the lanterns, and when she came back, she bought some beautiful ones to hang in the room.
If my uncle was there, I would definitely not need to spend money to buy it. The person who sold the lantern said that as long as I guessed which lantern riddle I got right, I could take the lantern back. My uncle is very good at guessing lantern riddles, and he would definitely lose money on guessing.
There is some noise outside, I heard it in the yard just now, it seems that Uncle Fang and the others went shopping in the brothel yesterday while their aunt was away, and when they came out, they were caught on the spot by the aunts who came back from the temple. Yes, you can see the broom raised high in the yard next door.
A figure suddenly jumped in from the door, Lao Fang made a silence gesture to Xiaohuan, and whispered: "I'm hiding here, don't tell your aunt."
With that said, the whole person quickly flashed into the storage room.
Xiaohuan sighed, Uncle Fang is such an honest person, why does he like to go to such unruly places
Facing the aunt of the Fang family chasing in from outside, she pouted in the direction of the storage room, lying on the rocking chair, shaking and shaking, it was very comfortable, no wonder my uncle used to like to lie on it the most.
There was a scream from inside the room, and a figure jumped out of it, crawling out of the yard, and Aunt Fang's family hurriedly chased after her with a broom.
…
…
In the yard next to Ruyifang, several long tables are put together, and a huge canvas is spread on it. A woman in a clumsy skirt with a wooden hairpin randomly inserted on her head is holding a paintbrush, and the tip of the pen is swimming on the canvas. , the painting in front of me has been mostly completed, the scenery is vivid, a tall tower stands on a lonely mountain, and a thousand-foot-high wave sweeps in from the front, as if to submerge the entire mountain.
This is a scene from the most popular drama "The Legend of the White Snake" in recent days. It is called "Water Over the Golden Mountain".
Wan Ruoqing came out of the room, shook his head and said: "You can hold your breath, someone outside will not hesitate to offer you three thousand taels of silver just to see you, even a portrait can sell for more than a hundred taels , why bother to work so hard for dozens of pennies."
"It's different." After standing for a long time, Zeng Zuimo twisted his sore waist and said, "I don't care, anyway, you promised to take me in, so you can't go back on your word now."
"Your fame has now spread to Qing'an Mansion. Everyone knows the Goddess of Luoshui. "Song of Beauty" and "Fu of Luoshen" have been copied by countless people. It is said that the price of paper in Qing'an Mansion is higher than before. 10% out."
Wan Ruoqing looked at her and said with a joke. "Who would have thought that the 'Yaochi Fairy' and 'Luoshui Goddess' known to everyone in Qing'an Prefecture would be such a rascal."
"What Luoshui Goddess, isn't it all his fault!" Zeng Zuimo's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and every time she heard other people read these lines, she couldn't help but think of the scene of "frank confrontation" with him that night .
As soon as "Luo Shen Fu" came out, her reputation became even greater than before, and the fact that the number one talented person in Qing'an Mansion made a gift for a beauty through the ages became a good story, but every woman, no one does not envy her, those Cifu will definitely be passed down, and every time someone mentions it in future generations, Zeng Zuimo's name may also appear together, and she has truly become a celebrity through the ages...
But in the future, she only wants to live a mediocre life. After this incident, this wish can only become a luxury. She has to cover her face when she goes out, worrying about being recognized by others, so there is no such thing as mediocrity...
And the culprit who caused all this is still not known where he is at ease.
"If you don't like it, you might as well give me that book of poems." Wan Ruoqing looked at her and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I can't bear it. Without the book of poems, our 'Goddess of Luoshui' can't bear it." There’s nothing to hold a giggle about every night.”
"You're still talking about me, I don't know who it is, I have to take out that sky lantern every two days to have a look..." Zeng Zuimo's pretty face was slightly flushed, but he retorted with no disadvantages.
An imperceptible look of envy appeared in Wan Ruoqing's eyes, and he changed the subject: "The top ten oirans of Shangyuanye have been selected, don't you want to know who are the oirans this year?"
"Who else can there be, that is, the battle for the leader should be more intense, but it's just a battle between Lu Qiaoqiao and Liu Yiyi. Liu Yiyi wants to rely on a few businessmen to overwhelm Lu Qiaoqiao, who is supported by Qing'an talents. , I’m afraid it won’t be that easy, and there is little hope of getting the leader, as for the others—probably just those old faces.” Zeng Zuimo added a few more strokes to the canvas, and said nonchalantly.
Wan Ruoqing nodded, and said: "Indeed, Liu Yiyi lost to Lu Qiaoqiao by a narrow margin in the end, and could only come in second. Apart from the two of them, last year's oiran, there are four others who are still famous. , Qunyu Academy loses you and has one more Chen Miaomiao, although it is only at the bottom, but with your reputation, Qunyu Academy will not suffer any big losses this time."
There is a sentence that Wan Ruoqing didn't say, although Lu Qiaoqiao is the leader this year, but in terms of popularity, she is far inferior to Zui Mo. If she didn't redeem herself, even if she didn't do anything, she could still be stable. Take the position of leader steadily.
There was a knock on the door behind him, Wan Ruoqing walked over, and after opening the door, seeing someone coming, she couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
"Zui Mo, why are you doing this!" A voice that contained too many emotions suddenly sounded, and the old bustard of Qunyu Courtyard ran into the courtyard, looking at Zeng Zuimo, who was dressed in commoner clothes and didn't even have a decent piece of jewelry on him, burst into tears It fell down with a click.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Zeng Zuimo was taken aback, looked back, and was relieved when he found no one was following.
The old bustard grabbed her hand and said excitedly: "Zui Mo, you can go back with me, what's wrong with Qunyuyuan, there are everything delicious and delicious, even if you are just like your ancestors, it's fine." ——It’s a life of good fortune, why do you have to suffer so much!”
Seeing the old bustard's face full of tears and distressed look, Zeng Zuimo was a little amused, and said, "Mom, you don't have to persuade me, since I'm out, I won't go back... By the way, remember to pick tender ginger in the future, old ginger Your eyes are too hot, you can't bear it..."
The method of wiping her eyes with old ginger to make her cry was taught by her mother herself. She wanted to use this method to win sympathy, but she used the wrong person.
Hearing her words, the bustard simply wiped away her tears and sighed: "Oh, you heartless, mom, I didn't feed you or drink, now the wings are hard, the little Qunyuyuan I can't stand the Goddess of Luoshui anymore..."
"You really don't plan to go back?" After complaining a bit, the procuress asked tentatively for the last time.
"I won't go back." Zeng Zuimo smiled and said with absolute certainty.
There was a look of annoyance on the old bustard's face, he turned around and walked outside, saying as he walked, "Okay, the child is getting older, I can't keep the old lady anymore, I just hope you don't forget the sisters in the courtyard, there is a chance , support and support them more, it is considered as repaying the old lady."
When she came this time, she didn't expect to invite Zui Mo back. Although she is no longer in the Qunyu Academy, her popularity has also made the Qunyu Academy famous. The business has been very good these days. If she hadn't been so unfeeling before and instead praised Chen Miaomiao, even if she didn't invite her back, she would still be able to get more benefits, but now, I can only hope that Zui Mo will remember the old love and help Lou Li more. The girl in the house also helped her in a disguised form.
"Finally came out." Seeing the figure of the bustard disappear, Zeng Zuimo felt relieved for no reason.
"It's finally here!" Li Yi let out a long breath as he looked at the city wall, which was much taller and more majestic than Qing'an Fucheng, and his whole body relaxed.
