Qingqiu is difficult

Hu Ruan never thought about participating in the so-called patriarch's wife selection. For two or three days in a row, he only saw Lu Xinyi taking care of Yanyu wholeheartedly, sometimes looking out the window without saying a word, and sometimes pounding herbs with peace of mind.

Sometimes she also wrote some poems, but after writing them, she put them in the stove and watched with indifference as the poems burned into ashes. The ashes floated upwards in the wind, leaving only a wisp in the air. Green smoke.

Hu Ruan put the porridge and rice on the table in front of her. Even though there were thousands of words in his chest, they were eventually swallowed.

Suddenly, Lu Xinyi said: "Think of a way to add a name to my name. Let's also participate in the wife selection."

Hu Ruan looked at her in disbelief. In his impression, even if people like Lu Xinyi were defeated and fell into decline, they would not be like withered yellow leaves floating on the ground, left to be trampled on and crushed into dust.

What's more, she clearly knew that the person she longed for at this time had betrayed her trust and married someone else. How could she put down her dignity and let others choose?

As if reading his thoughts, Lu Xinyi turned around, looked at Hu Ruan, and said with a smile:
"It's okay. Didn't you say everything that day? Although people will be separated, the road will not be separated. Although we have encountered some minor setbacks, I didn't come here to recognize him or renew anything with him. It’s from the front! We still have to look into Yanyu’s illness, and we still have to ask about your life experience. What’s more, we also agreed to Sister Chunhua’s affairs.”

Hu Ruan wanted to say something more, but he fell silent after all. He felt that he had no position to give some pertinent opinions. Instead of doing this, he might as well remain silent - out of his innate respect for the elders, he would By default, she is really strong and has really considered all the consequences.

He said something blankly twice, nodded, put down his things and walked out the door.

As soon as he went out, Hu Ruancai couldn't help but feel troubled. He looked at the people coming and going on the street. Although there were not many people in Qingqiu, during the day, the teahouses and restaurants on the street were full. People had their own thoughts, openly and secretly. Calculate the price and cost to obtain the maximum profit in each competition.

In this city, money is the best of everything.

As long as you have money, everything is easy. Everyone marvels at the beauty of all the foxes in Qingqiu, but in fact beauty is a very cheap thing in Qingqiu. They can be sold at will, and the money and sex trade has always been reasonable and legal.

Hu Ruan couldn't help but shook his head and was speechless - what kind of social state is this? The entire society has a value system that laughs at the poor but not at prostitution.

He decided to try his luck.

After asking all the way to the registration office, all the policemen in Qingshui Yamen were yawning. A child leading the way said to Hu Ruan:
"Don't be surprised. You, a foreigner, don't know that those of us who work in the yamen here have rest time during the day. At night, their affairs really start to be done. If it wasn't for the king's order, who would be willing to do this? Local errand!"

Hu Ruan nodded, and the child ran away while eating the candy. The two waiters saw Hu Ruan standing under the stage, looking impatient. One of them held his head in one hand, yawned and asked with narrowed eyes:

"What are you doing here?"

Hu Ruan saluted: "I come down here to sign up for the patriarch's wife selection for my sister. My sister really wanted to participate, but she was too shy to come, so she asked me to do it. I would like to ask you two officials, are there still places?"

After hearing this, the two of them immediately became energetic. They turned their backs and muttered for a long time, and gestured back and forth in their sleeves for a long time. When they turned around again, the man just now didn't even yawn, but just raised his head. He raised his eyelids and said arrogantly:
"You signed up too late. As for the quota, you can have this thing if you want it, or you can have it if you don't cherish it. It all depends on your attitude."

Hu Ruan understood the idea and took out two gold leaves from his arms and handed them over.

The official looked at it for a while, then sat sideways, picking at his nails, and said: "As for the quota, I can eliminate one of those defective products, but if I have to eliminate them, I will inevitably have to compensate them again. ." Hu Ruan didn't say anything. He just took out four more gold leaves from the money bag and handed them over: "Then I'll spare the trouble for you."

At this time, another person who had been silent for a long time spoke up: "What's the use of bothering? I work so hard every day and it's not enough to see a doctor!"

Hu Ruan understood in his heart, he was cruel, and took out two more gold leaves from the money bag - now he had no extra points! Why does he:

"You two officials are very strapped for money. If my sister is lucky enough to be selected, I will definitely ask her to bring a lot of money to reward you two! But if you two officials still feel that it is not enough..."

He looked at the gold leaf on the table with some embarrassment, and was about to reach out to take it: "Then I can only go back and apologize to my sister, and let her comfort my brother for his incompetence in doing things!"

After saying that, he made a show of taking back the golden leaf.

When the two officers saw this scene, they immediately put all the golden leaves into their arms, and the officer said:
"Forget it, forget it! It is our duty to serve the people. If you fill in your sister's name, I will give you a wooden sign. The day after tomorrow, you can ask your sister to report!"

After that, as if he was doing magic, or more like he was prepared, he took out a wooden sign from under the table and threw it on the table at will. The wooden sign was crudely made, with a red ribbon tied to it. Only the red ribbon made it look less shabby.

Hu Ruan accepted it with a smile. After doing everything, he put his heart in his stomach and went back happily.

Who knew that the child hadn't left just now? He had been hiding behind the stone lion. When Hu Ruan came out, he jumped forward and said:
"What did I think you were going to do? Turns out you were signing up for your sister! Do you hate your sister?"

Hu Ruan was a little confused: "How do you say this?"

The child licked the candy: "If you don't hate her, why did you send her to the royal family? Women are good at doing business and housekeeping in shops, but if you sell her into the palace, she will do nothing. You can't do anything, and your freedom has been restricted! If you didn't say that you hate her extremely, how could you send her into the pit of fire? Do you know how many families try every means to prevent their girls from being included in the roster? I’ll spend money to delete my name! You’re lucky, these two people will never be able to bribe you in reverse in eight lifetimes!”

Only then did Hu Ruan doubt himself, but he was still a little unbelievable in his heart. He said harshly:
"My sister is devoted to the clan leader. What's wrong with being the clan leader's wife?"

The child sneered and shook his head: "Love? Love is nothing! This thing will only make people dizzy and lose their rationality, which will greatly waste their lives and money!"

As soon as these words came out, Hu Ruan was stunned. He was stunned and didn't utter a word of rebuttal for a long time!

Seeing that he had nothing to say, the child became even more proud. While licking the candy, he continued:

"Think about it, if a person could have earned three hundred and sixty-five dollars a year, but because he was getting married, he had to take a day off and throw a big banquet. Wouldn't this be a huge loss? Not to mention the ten-month pregnancy. After giving birth and recuperating, a rough calculation will cost you around 400 yuan! Not to mention, if the person you love is your colleague and your client, will you pay the favor or not? What if you do? Now, what should I do if other people are not satisfied? What you are doing is totally against business theory!......"

The child talked a lot, but what Hu Ruan heard was just one number after another, rolling around in front of his eyes and in his head. The numbers kept changing, and a huge abacus was beating back and forth. He finally couldn't bear it anymore. He grabbed the child's shoulders with both hands and ordered with a threat similar to pleading:
"Please stop calculating. Whether it's love or money, they are far away from me now! If you are so capable, please do it immediately. No matter what method you use, you can get my sister to sign up, and let my sister sign up." When I get my money back, I will really accept you!"

The child blinked and stared at him blankly for a while, then took out the candy from his mouth: "What's so difficult about this? But what's the benefit?"
