Traveling with a female companion

When her name was mentioned suddenly, Song Xiaocheng was startled. At this moment, a sense of tension suddenly appeared in her heart.She took Badger's little hand and walked into the hall, and heard other people behind talking, saying that they had seen a novel oriental dance, and the palace people had to digest it, and the beauties performing in the future would definitely not be worthwhile.

When the three palace judges saw the beauty bringing the animals in, they couldn't help laughing.Song Xiaocheng glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief, and praised that there was no such Longmao in the committee.She introduced herself respectfully, and her acting talent is "badger playing".One of the judges laughed, and it was clearly written on his face: This kind of performance is not on stage.

Song Xiaocheng coughed and cleared her throat: "Badger, stand up, walk around and bow to the judges." Badger was still on his hind legs, with his front paws raised high, and walked a small circle in the hall, Immediately, he came in front of the palace people, clasped his fists with a quack air, the chubby face was very serious.Made them laugh again.The people outside were a little surprised: "Hey, this dog can really understand human language."

The badger returned to her side obediently, Song Xiaocheng laughed secretly, what is this? Our badger's IQ is smarter than the average person's.Afterwards, it was performing and dancing, playing drunken fist again, and learning how to bark like a real dog. The badger even showed such a fat body and did a few backflips... It made everyone very happy, and they all praised it as true. Great training, awesome!

After the performance, the faces of the palace people were a little joyful. Song Xiaocheng reckoned that her badger show was very novel, so she might be selected.After a long time, Linglong also came forward and sang a piece of Kunqu opera "Liniang Sichun", showing the emotions of the children, and the charming and charming, which made the audience love them endlessly.She also thinks she's quite entertaining.

After Linglong's performance, they went back to the inn together. Badger performed very well today, and she promised him that he would treat him to a duck dinner in the future.There are also other beauties' shows. Song Xiaocheng might stay to feast her eyes on the usual shows, but now she has a lump in her heart. Regarding the matter of Gao Shan Chunmei, she has to go back and discuss it with Yuan Qingzhu.

Back upstairs in the inn, Yuan Qingzhu sat on the couch with a solemn face, and Song Xiaocheng ran in with the badger: "Qingzhu, our performance is finished, and I will hear the result tomorrow, by the way, today I saw that Gao Shanchun beauty again, She is indeed an Oriental."

Yuan Qingzhu stood up lightly, poured tea for them blindfolded, and the badger squeaked: "If you are promoted, don't forget to treat me to Yajude, I will eat two for one badger." Song Xiaocheng touched She touched its head to show that it was okay, and then told the story of Takayama Harumi and her arrogant servant. She always felt that something was wrong, but she still couldn't figure out what it was.

The two sat at the round table, Yuan Qingzhu listened silently, and slowly touched her hand: "If they are really from the East, I think your entry into the palace is not just about finding a doctor for me. Simple. I heard something in private today, and I'm afraid it has something to do with Gao Shanchunmei." Song Xiaocheng was surprised and told her to speak quickly.

Yuan Qingzhu said that she heard from the people in the inn that some oriental people came from other temporary residences. They seemed to be doing business, but they all wore samurai knives and looked angry.She carefully wrote down the address, she couldn't go there because she couldn't see it, and waited for Song Xiaocheng to come back and let everyone find out.She also chatted casually with the clerk, and felt that it was not the right time for the monarch to hold a folk beauty pageant at this time, because there is an island in the north called Beiming Island with a suitable climate. Own a posture.

"It turns out that the Orientals are now trying to grab our country's territory, but why doesn't the monarch ignore this matter?"

"It is said that envoys were sent to Beiming Island to make a statement, but when they saw the soldiers coming, they ran away. Once the soldiers withdrew, they started to make trouble again. Now the monarch is busy with the beauty pageant for Concubine Sheng. As long as the Orientals don't burn, kill and loot, The riots are just minor things."

Song Xiaocheng rubbed her chin, and associated this matter with Gao Shanchunmei: "But at this time, the Orientals are not in a big climate, how can they make them toss so much? Concubine? Then why do you want to take the road of beauty pageants? Could it be that between her and Concubine Sheng, there is a connection between the country and the East..." Oh, there must be something strange about this matter.She seems to have a taste for it.

Afterwards, Song Xiaocheng and Yuan Qingzhu went to the gathering point of the Orientals, and sure enough, as the innkeeper said, they wrapped up a circle of yards in kimonos, almost all of them wore samurai/knives and combed Yuedai hair. A big man with a strong body and a face that is not easy to mess with, yelling hahaha in the courtyard, practicing chopping and slashing with a knife.Among them were two women, with long pipes dangling from their mouths, their cloth kimonos stretched above their thighs, and they sat openly in the yard, looking like a bustard.Takayama Harumi also lives here, she is their eldest lady, there are rampant servants escorting her in and out, she chatters in Japanese, but no one can understand her.

Badger said that there are three nouns in the predicted dream: samurai, geisha and ninja, but there are big men and women, so where is the ninja who is responsible for assassination?Song Xiaocheng searched for a long time but couldn't come up with any results, so they had to go back to the inn to discuss slowly.

As soon as she came back, she saw Linglong sitting in the lobby crying, and the shopkeeper persuaded her, but the more she persuaded, the more she cried.Song Xiaocheng thought that someone was bullying Linglong, so she wanted to help her out, the shopkeeper waved her hands repeatedly: "Don't do my business, she has no money to spend, we don't know anything about it." Song Xiaocheng Quite annoyed, it's because they see Linglong is young, innocent and pushy, so they can introduce expensive things to her, and one big lady at a time praises her so much that she can't find her way out, and they want to squeeze her dry before giving up, these gangs are mercenary thing.

Yuan Qingzhu told her not to panic, and asked Linglong, who was crying, and she finally explained the reason.She heard people say that if she wanted to be selected in the top [-], she should give money to those palace people behind her back, and some wealthy families would give gold, silver and jewelry, and even ordinary families would give a red envelope. "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow And the jewelry was returned, but the shopkeeper said that he didn't care, if it was sold, it couldn't be returned, woo woo woo..."

Song Xiaocheng sighed, what else could she say, when she herself was in the modern world, she would buy and buy because she couldn't control it, and she would always regret it later.From this point of view, women throughout the ages really look alike.

She comforted Linglong with good words: "You people in ancient times were probably relatively simple, there would be no such thing as shady competitions, and besides, this beauty pageant was proposed by Concubine Sheng. Her purpose is to find stunning beauties. Could it be that the house is stuffed? You can be promoted with money, but if you send it to the palace, you will be mediocre, so what's the point of her doing this?"

Linglong was sobbing, and Song Xiaocheng helped her back upstairs to rest, while trying to persuade her, she finally stopped crying. "But I'm very worried. It's fine if I don't advance myself. Xiao Chengcheng, you must succeed. You still have to help the heroine heal her eyes. Only by entering the palace can you find that miracle doctor..."

"Don't worry," Song Xiaocheng told her to lie down and rest, "Just sleep well and don't think about anything, I must go to the palace, and I want to see what kind of tricks that Gao Shanchunmei is going to do."

Linglong felt comfortable after being comforted, she held Song Xiaocheng's hand and didn't want to let go: "Xiao Chengcheng, don't worry, as long as one of us advances, if it's me, I will definitely I gave you the spot, and I hope you can be happy with the heroine." Song Xiaocheng thanked her with a smile.Linglong asked a few more questions about Takayama Harumi, and she also felt that these oriental people must have tricks, so they must be careful.

The next day, on the bulletin board of the imperial city, the names of a hundred beauties who had been promoted were posted. Badger got anxious when he heard the news, and dragged Song Xiaocheng and Linglong to see it. It was related to whether he could eat it. Duck Jude.

You can see from a distance that the crowds in front of the bulletin board are so crowded that you can't see them. It's as noisy as a vegetable market. You can only hear someone yelling in disbelief: "Why is there no lady from my family? There is a shady scene. They must have collected money!" Someone also yelled: "The daughter of the XX family can also be selected. Our lady dumped her for a few blocks, she must have been stuffed with money, these black-hearted palace people!"

Song Xiaocheng watched them twittering, and it turned out that the ancient reality show is the same as the modern one, there will always be people who are dissatisfied.She was quite worried about herself.

At this time, I heard someone speaking Japanese in the crowd, and the words were full of excitement.Sure enough, it was those young boys from Japan, naturally Harumi Takayama would not come to this crowded place to see the announcement, the boys cheered and said that she had been hit, and squeezed out the crowd to go back to announce the good news.

Song Xiaocheng sighed, she didn't know if it was because the palace people really thought that the exotic features were good, or if there were hidden secrets that would definitely make her selected.Linglong pulled her into the crowd of noisy people.Finally, amidst the crowds, they saw the imperial list posted, and they were ranked one by one like test scores. Badger jumped onto Song Xiaocheng's shoulder and lay down to watch.

"Badger, don't look down from the top, if there is me, it will definitely be the last." Song Xiaocheng was squeezed by the crowd, unable to see clearly, Linglong couldn't push the servants of the eldest lady's house, Can only pull back: "Xiao Chengcheng, help me to see if my name is there!"

"No, no, no..." Song Xiaocheng watched desperately amidst the noise, no matter how many times she counted down, there were no two people, so she was in danger.

"I saw the name of that oriental beauty. She's really ranked in the top ten." The badger squeaked, and Song Xiaocheng became more and more anxious: "Leave her alone and see if we have one, Linglong and I It’s fine, or you’ll have to make another plan.”

She pressed her finger on the list and counted from the bottom to the top but still couldn't find it, neither Song Xiaocheng nor Linglong, her heart sank a little.The people next to him pushed and shoved: "Go out if you lose the election, don't occupy the latrine without shitting!"
