I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 74

The third sister's expression had already changed, and the three girls had already started to roll their eyes, but Gu Buquan didn't care at all, and talked on his own.

"I'm really short of money now, and I'm in a hurry to see a doctor and get medicine for my family. I was thinking, I'm not a concubine, so this face can be exchanged for some silver taels for emergencies. Third sister, you can just give 800 taels as a deposit first. 500 taels is fine."

She looked at the third sister, regardless of the other party's displeasure, and then said, "Oh, it doesn't matter how much the final payment is. Let me give you 300 taels first? I really need it urgently."

Third Sister scolded: "Crazy." She tore the document to pieces.

"Yesterday, a man named Hua came here. He wanted to sign paperwork for a good-looking nose with two liang of silver. Today, another man named Buquan came. He didn't give the money and wanted us to pay it back. Third sister, I have lived a long time. , this is the first time I've seen it, is there any justice in this world?"

Gu Buquan hurriedly asked: "Has Hua Rattle come to change her appearance?"

"Third sister, she's here to mess things up, don't talk nonsense with her, just get out."

The three girls started at the same time, one grabbed and the other lifted, threw Gu Buquan out of the door, throwing her on all fours.

Immediately after the third sister greeted her, the door of the embroidery shop closed with a bang.

"If you don't change it, you don't change it. Why are you bombarding people?"

Gu Buquan sat on the ground and muttered, "It's okay to give me five taels, at least let me buy some kudzu flowers and bring back the idiot's headache."

In front of Luofuyanzhuang, there were many women queuing up to buy Dameiluofu pills. They saw a woman thrown from the side of the room from a distance, and they were still sitting on the ground shouting. They all pointed at her and laughed.

This situation is a bit more embarrassing than when Rihua rattled her bell and was thrown out of Luofuyan Village.

She wanted to get up in frustration, but found that the exhaustion of the past few days had made her physically and mentally lazy, and she had the idea of ​​lying on the ground and never getting up again.

She closed her eyes and tried to calm down her thoughts. When she opened her eyes again, she saw a familiar palm with thick calluses.

"Stupid." She called out, unable to stop her sobs.

He smiled, pulled her up, and held her hand since then and never let go.

"Stupid, am I stupid?"

He nodded, "Yeah."

She was stunned for a moment, smiled, and laughed at herself: "I thought that although I am not beautiful, I am still pretty enough. No matter whether the face-changing is true or not, I will get some money back first. But I don't want to. They won't give me even broken silver."

"You said that you won't change it if you give it a million taels." He whispered, "Besides, it's not like you don't know that changing your face is a strange thing."

"Yeah, I was so smart that I was confused for a while. It's the so-called rush to the doctor. I know that changing my face is very strange, but I foolishly rushed to sign some waiver of liability to change my face, trying to get the root hair off the iron rooster. I'm so faint I'm so stupid that I want to beat myself up."

My heart is filled with the frustration of stealing chickens and losing rice, the people in Qingzhou Prefecture are easier to fool than those in Maple Leaf Town.

He looked at her with a dark face: "Silly, it's not because of the change of appearance, but because it's not worth it."

"Who am I? Don't know. Am I a good person? Don't know. Am I capable of paying you back? Don't know. So, it's not worth it."

She stopped and looked up at him: "No matter who you were in the past or what you did, I only know that you are a fool, and you will always be... a fool."

I wanted to say that I would always be a fool, but I swallowed it anyway, and just said: "Whether it's worth it or not, I have the final say."

He didn't speak, but she could clearly feel that his hand was clenched tighter.

The sun in late spring was bright and warm, and it was rare that Ling An didn't suffer from a headache today, and he felt refreshed.

The two held hands and didn't say much, just walked slowly along the street.

Unconsciously, I felt that I walked from East Street to West Street.

Only then did I realize that West Street is no less lively than East Street.

If it is said that because of Luofu Yanzhuang, the East Street is full of beautiful women, but the West Street is just the opposite, the crowds are all men.

After a little inquiring, I found out that it was the annual Oiran Contest that caused such a sensation.

From an octogenarian to a yellow-mouthed white-toothed man, from a rich man to a bare-footed farmer, they kept pushing towards the oiran ring.

Gu Buquan recalled that Mrs. Yi's wife seemed to have been the oiran of Qingzhou Mansion, but her rich appearance now makes it impossible to imagine her graceful and graceful back then.

Ling An is not interested in the Oiran Contest, but he can't help but be full of interest, so he insists on squeezing to the front to feast his eyes.

Last year's oiran was named Luo Kui, she was really a stunning woman, with that appearance, that figure, just standing on the stage without saying a word, the audience applauded, money was thrown at her feet.

She has been the oiran for two consecutive years, and people say that this year will probably be her.

Miss Luokui comes from Zhezhi Tower. She is excellent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is especially good at dancing. At this time, she is dancing on the stage, with a red silk flying like a fire dragon in her hand. When a person comes into the world, even Gu Buquan can't stop applauding.

"What's so interesting about this?" Following the familiar voice, Hua rattles on the stage swaggeringly.

"Look, fool, it's flowers ringing bells." Gu Buquan exclaimed.

Ling An couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Hua Yaoling's colorful butterfly-like dress is the most eye-catching wherever she goes, and it draws boos from the audience.

But she was not timid, and she shook her skirt on the stage and danced the unique skill of dancing a great god, watching these young and old in Qingzhou Mansion as if their souls had come out of their bodies and seven souls had ascended to heaven.

These people are used to the elegant dance of Luokui, and have never paid attention to the great dancer. At this time, they are attracted by the bold and unrestrained wild dance of Huayingling. Soon, Yinzi accompanied by applause Snow flakes fell under her flowery skirt.

"Young Master Fan Dafan in Xicheng, I will give you 50 taels of silver."

"Young Master Zhang Erzhang of Nanhe County, donated 80 taels of silver."

"Young Master Wushan Wu of Ningbei Prefecture, I will give you 100 taels of silver."

This kind of occasion is really a place where princes and brothers fight for wealth, and the gift of silver can only be more or less, and the income of a ring is always thousands of taels.

This is also the original intention of the Brothel Chu Pavilion to hold the Oiran Competition every year, and earn a lot of money every time.

Feitianwu lost to the master dancer, and this year's oiran is none other than the flower rattle.

The oiran has a newcomer, and she is a foreign girl who has just come to dance the gods. This is unheard of in Qingzhou Prefecture.

But since this is Qingzhou Mansion, which is known as the back garden of the capital, it is not surprising that anything happens, it's just that people have an interesting talk after dinner.

Hua Yaoling looked at the white silver and the snowflake-like banknotes in front of her, bit her finger and asked herself repeatedly, is this developed?
"It's developed, my darling, it's developed." Mother Liu, the old bustard of Fumeiyuan, can't wait to hug the flower rattle into her arms.

Mother Liu is a person who is good at calculating. When the audience cheered thunderously at the flower rattle, she immediately recognized the humiliation of the flower rattle and lost to Zhezhilou a few years ago.

Hua rang the bell and snatched the money from Mother Liu's hand.

"It's mine, it's all mine."

She is not stupid, especially when it comes to money, she is better than anyone else. Right now she is not competing in the name of any Chu Pavilion, and after deducting [-]% of the expenses in the ring, the rest of the money belongs to her of course.

"Girl, you are a smart person. If you want to gain a foothold in Qingzhou Mansion, you can be regarded as a family if you have provenance. If something happens, you will have your mother to support you, right? Otherwise..."

Mother Liu took her time, saying a few words and leaving a sentence.

Hua Yaoling naturally understood that she is a girl who just came from the countryside, she can do nothing but sing a few lines of opera and dance to the gods. Without a mountain top, it is really difficult to get along in Qingzhou Prefecture.

Soon, Ms. Liu and Hua Yaoling reached a verbal agreement, and the benefits were divided in four or six ways, which was regarded as mutual benefit for both parties.

Hua Yaoling was quite satisfied with this, and grinned from ear to ear as she picked up the silver on the ground, who cares that the old bustard and Miss Luokui in Zhezhilou hate their teeth so much?

Miss Luokui even bit her own lip and didn't know it.

"I don't know where a country girl came from, and she fluttered on the stage like a reed chicken, so she can also be selected as the oiran of Qingzhou Prefecture? The elders are used to delicacies from mountains and seas, so they just eat a mouthful of wild vegetables with bran for a change."

Facing Miss Luokui's ridicule, Hua Yaoling stepped forward unceremoniously, raised her hand and scratched her ear, and Miss Luokui was instantly knocked down to the ground.

"Want to fight? Who is afraid of whom!"

At the order of Zhezhilou and Fumeiyuan's mothers, the nurses all came up and fought directly on the stage.

The audience booed even more frantically, and the Luokui faction and the Rattle Bell faction fought at each other without saying a word.

Hua Yaoling escaped, holding a silver ingot triumphantly and walked in front of Gu Buquan and Ling An.

"I've seen you guys a long time ago. To be honest, it feels so good to be on stage."

She put the ingot of silver in Gu Buquan's palm, smiling all over her face.

"In any case, we grew up together in Maple Leaf Town, and we also got to know each other once, and this ingot of silver will be given to you. The accounts between the three of us are settled, and no one will owe anyone in the future, so let's say goodbye It's over."

She turned around and walked gracefully back to the stage, bowing and thanking everyone in the audience.

"Let's go." Gu Buquan accepted the ingot of silver, don't want it for nothing.

"En." Ling An looked worried, and glanced at the flower rattles on the stage.

"Don't worry, Hua Yaoling is a fine person, she will take care of herself." Gu Buquan comforted.

Everyone has their own aspirations, but Gu Buquan knows very well that the wealth is rolling in and everyone is looking at it. This is the life Hua Raoling yearns for in the first place.

Then wish her the best of luck in the future.

Both of them turned around, leaving all the noise behind, however, they all turned back in a split second, hearing sharp howls from the chaotic stage.

"Dead, the girl is dead."

"Killed, the oiran killed the oiran."
