Chapter 381

"I said, Xiao Wu, have you heard from elder brother Gu recently?"

"Don't tell me, aunt. You asked the right person today."

"I went to work in the Yamen today. I just received a message from elder brother Gu."

"It is said that we are now catching the most famous robbers in Lin'an Prefecture."

"Now that he has an eyebrow, after he catches the thief, he will ask for instructions from the emperor's senior officials and come back to see you."

"Oh? Really? Now that you know where my son is, Xiao Wu, can you send a letter to the people in Lin'an?"

"No problem, aunt, but the letter can't be too cumbersome. There are carrier pigeons flying to Lin'an in two days. I'll ask them to fill in a sentence for you when they pass the information."

"That's good. That's what you say. Gu Xiaomei likes pregnancy. She's very worried at home. Come back quickly."

"Such a sentence, can not?"

"No problem. What a big deal, but our little sister is pregnant. Congratulations."

Wang Xiaowu promised happily, turned to Gu Xiaomei and said, "I'll ask my family to send you the gift to the shop another day."

"If you have too much work at home, you can talk to your sister-in-law."

"It's not that we can't afford servants at home. It's good to buy a family and serve you."

This proposal was unanimously agreed, and the topic in the room turned to buying and selling people.

Only those prisoners who are still tied up in the hospital want to cry without tears. They also want to be in prison. They quickly get rid of this bondage and let their muscles and bones relax.

The camera here is over. When the page turns black and lights up, the painting style completely changes.

I saw the misty water and bursts of lotus fragrance.

Bursts of soft language and sweet thoughts of water town.

A flower boat with lanterns shining,

Ships go back and forth.

There are hawking brokers who sing songs from the south of the Yangtze River on the water to sell preserves on the water boat under their feet only for the people on this ship.

When I was lucky, the most famous flower lady in the shop leaned out of the boat lazily, the green silk was not close, and the taste was still fresh. She twisted a plum from his fruit plate and threw an aftertaste in her eyes, so that the broker could think for a few days.

Such a lively scene is actually different from some reserved Xiangyang.

On the contrary, with a few romantic feelings of Wei and Jin Dynasties, it makes people relaxed and happy wantonly.

But today's Suzhou River is different from usual.

The flower boats that often appear on the edge of the West Lake and surround the Yuhu garden seem to have been negotiated. They are surrounded by a huge ship three stories high.

The daughters on these smaller boats can't even bring their mother. They can only bring a small servant girl who hasn't opened her body. They wait closely, holding their habitual musical instruments or famous clothes, standing in the bow of the boat with a trace of expectation and looking into the inside of the big boat.

Some medium-sized flower shops organize women who are good at dancing or singing in the building, stand behind the top girl they want to hold, and just wait to compete with the people around them.

This kind of dazzled girl who can be seen by the surrounding small people is just an ordinary posture.

Now, the girls who have been invited to the giant flower shop one step ahead of time are Chunlan Qiuju, each with her own style.

They are actually familiar with each other, because they all make a living in this Lin'an City. When they play their respective names, they naturally used to be old enemies with broken heads and blood.

Female prostitutes at their level, let alone the whole three now, just want to meet one of them. I'm afraid they'll lose their money.

But at this time, the three on board stood in a triangle with vigilance in their eyes. They observed each other's dress today and looked at each other's expression and makeup. For a time, they were deadlocked on the deck.

After all, one of the youngest, unable to hold his breath, took the lead in opening his mouth: "how did you appear on zhenglang's ship?"

"You know, not everyone can come up to zhenglang's Huarong workshop."

The two older women next to each other looked at each other, and then reached a temporary alliance at the moment of eye contact.

Like caressing willows in the wind, they put on the most gentle posture, gently covered their big sleeves to their mouth, smiled and said, "people like you can come up. My sister Wenwen, who is unique in calligraphy and painting, why is she not qualified to come up?"

The young girl targeted by the two people was in a hurry for a moment.

She is really not as elegant as the gentle girl who is famous among literati and refined scholars because of her good at calligraphy and painting, and the girl Lolo, who mocks her zither and zither.

But her hu dance of mummy is extremely hot. She is the most skilled dancer in Lin'an City.

It took only half a year for her reputation to be comparable with the two dying women opposite.

She is such a hot little lady. How can she compare with the two sour literary prostitutes opposite?

Therefore, Hu Mei's counterattack was also fierce: "I said you are not qualified. That's because you are going to retire, but you still can't forget this fame and wealth. It's said that it's false to miss the Lin'an Huakui competition. Is it true to Miss Zheng?"

Hearing the speech, the two people were not angry, but frankly admitted: "yes, although it is said that in this Huakui competition, who can win the most valuable green lotus flower in the hands of Lang Gu Zheng, who can lay the final victory."

"But we didn't come for the flowers thrown out by the ordinary people, but because this time, it was the work of our retreat."

"Not for the green lotus, just for Gu Lang's pity. In view of each other's love, we can let Gu Lang Jun hairpin a flower for us."

"This is also my final wish before Wen Wen and I retired."

"As for Miss Hu Mei, who has a higher heart than heaven, there is no need to be sarcastic and let others look down on me."

Hearing that the two women who were winning fame were going to retire together in the Huakui competition, Hu Mei, who heard the news, didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

While she was still stunned, the waiters on the left and right sides of the flower boat led the three to the rear of the competition venue.

Yes, it is the annual Huachao Huakui competition near the West Lake.

On this day, the whole Lin'an mansion and the Huafang brothels in all the rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River will send their best girls to Lin'an City to participate in the feast of female prostitutes.

Here, the top female prostitutes of the whole Southern Song Dynasty were elected semi publicly in the way of sharing happiness with the people. The most gorgeous flower blooming in this season on the hairpin became the most dazzling flower leader of this session.

This feast is the best way for these little women to ascend to the sky step by step.

The titles of countless famous prostitutes in the north and south of the river have been fought since this day.

Here, I will not despise you because of your humble background in Huafang, nor ignore you because you are unknown.

As long as you have great confidence in your talents, you can sign up and show your talents and posture on the competition platform built by the big club.

As long as the patrons, talents, scholars and people feel that you are elegant and incomparable, they are naturally willing to go to the special flower basket for Huakui placed by the organizers of the conference to buy you a flower to support you.

Throw it on the stage or put it on your hairpin to show your encouragement to the little lady.

The staff of the Huafang Federation, which held the conference, collected and registered the flowers thrown on the stage by special people. After the statistics are completed, the final number will be registered on the flower counting board outside the Huakui competition venue.

It is clear to the supporters and the people watching the excitement.

This way of competition has become a feast for Lin'an people who like to laugh at night.

The scale of its development is getting larger and larger, and finally it startled the officials in Lin'an imperial city.

In order to stabilize public security and share happiness with the people, every day when we go to the Huakui competition, an official will be selected by the official to personally hold the battle at the scene of the Huakui competition.

In his hand, there is a flower given by his majesty, representing the most important and official recognition.

The official flower is equivalent to thousands of ordinary bouquets, but whoever the official hairpin the flower on, the flower leader of this session is basically recognized.

Because an ordinary flower of Kui has to be sold for one or two silver.

Unless you meet a loser like a psychopath or a big businessman who spends a lot of money, it is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

Therefore, the three girls just now are vigilant against each other.

It's hard to say whether they came for Hua Kui or Gu Lang.

Because this time, the person who took the green lotus issued by the emperor was Gu Zheng with the task.

This sudden extra task was quite to his liking.

I don't know if the old emperor heard of his affair and specially handed the task to him. It's called making the best use of everything.

Thinking of Gu Zheng here, he curled up on the low couch without image, pedaled the low stool next to him with one foot, grabbed the yellow and tender sour and sweet apricots next to him with one hand, and filled his mouth.

He is willing to deal with such a good job even if he is asked to deal with it every day.

I just don't know if his old acquaintances will come this time.

Just as he was going to put his hand on the head of the second apricot, a little servant girl came in from the outside, took his mother behind him, and reported to Gu Zheng.

"My Lord, the competition field has been arranged, and all the other people are in place. Now wait for my Lord's instructions. I don't know what else I want to give special instructions here?"
