Mu Xuanyi put on men's clothes and finally climbed over the mountains and arrived at a populated place.
In order to prevent others from noticing her identity, Mu Xuanyi did not even dare to enter the village. She only dared to find a place to rest when she reached the town all the way.
She didn't have any money on her now, so it was of course impossible to stay in a hotel. She could only find a remote corner and sit against the wall, but even so, it was much more comfortable than the many days and nights she had been traveling on the road.
But even though it was early spring, the weather was still not very good. She leaned against the wall, feeling a little chilly, and her body was shaking involuntarily.
The pedestrians passing by were so hurried that no one noticed her.
Mu Xuanyi squinted her eyes and gradually fell asleep.
What woke her up was the sound of gongs and drums and the discussions of passers-by.
"Whose carriage is this? Is it so impressive?"
"This is the daughter of the king's wife in our town. Now she is going to the palace to participate in the draft. Can you not be grand?"
"Hey, you really went to participate in the draft. Didn't you say that His Majesty is almost fifty now?"
"The draft is not just for Your Majesty, but His Majesty's princes are all looking forward to selecting girls in the draft."
"However, there are not many girls of the right age this year. They say that as long as they are old enough and have outstanding looks, they can be sent over by the town to participate."
"Isn't this fooling people?"
"I can't help it. A lot of girls have disappeared recently for some reason. Shhh, I'm telling you, don't spread the word. I heard several reports of missing daughters, but I don't know who bribed the official uniform.
, they will ignore this kind of case, and now the couple next door to me are still going to the government office every day to complain, and no one cares about them at all."
"This is too tragic. Fortunately, I don't have a daughter at home."
"Who says it's not the case? The number of people drafted may not be enough."
The voices of the two people gradually faded away, and the alley became deserted again.
The scattered light in Mu Xuanyi's eyes gradually condensed.
She is going to participate in the talent show!
However, she looks in tatters now and is dirty all over. Even if she goes there, she will definitely not be accepted by others. She has to find a way to do it.
Mu Xuanyi walked aimlessly on the street, and everyone who passed her showed disgusted expressions on their faces.
After all, she was so smelly and dirty, and she looked comparable to those beggars. No one wanted to run into her, lest she bring bad luck.
Mu Xuanyi didn't care about this. The happier she was, the smaller the chance of being discovered. Who would have thought that she would appear in this dress?
"I want to go to the draft."
"If I am selected in the name of your building, it will be much easier for you to publicize to the outside world in the future."
"I don't need any reward from you. Just let me take a bath, change into clean clothes, and send me there."
Mu Xuanyi stood in Yihong Building and promoted herself to the madam inside.
"You are so dirty, how can you guarantee that you will be selected if you go?" The madam had never seen a beggar who wanted to make a name for himself, and was a little surprised.
"You let me take a shower and change my clothes first. I promise that my appearance will never disappoint you."
Mu Xuanyi only insisted on saying this, very confident in herself.
Anyway, she wouldn't lose anything by doing this. The madam waved her hand and asked someone to come over and take her to wash up.
After washing up and putting on some clothes, the Madam's eyes lit up when she saw Mu Xuanyi again.
She squinted her eyes, but she had another plan in mind.
"It's not impossible what you said, but if you just give it to someone and say it's from our building, the other party may not admit it."
"Let's see, you go to participate in the selection of oiran in our building tonight, just to gather the number of people, and we won't arrange for you to actually accompany the guests. After tonight is over, I will send it to you tomorrow, how about?
"
The old madam's calculations are very loud. Mu Xuanyi is top-notch in both figure and appearance. With such a beauty as her promotion, her business tonight will definitely be good, and she can make a lot of money.
He said that she can also send it to a talent show. Once she is selected, she can use this as a reason to promote and attract a group of customers.
But Mu Xuanyi has no other choice now. If no one recommends her and she has no identity, it is absolutely impossible to participate in the draft.
There was only one path she could take now. Even if the madam's request was unreasonable, she could only agree.
Seeing her answer, the smile on the madam's face suddenly became even brighter.
"Okay, okay, then go ahead and prepare. By the way, have you given yourself a flower name?"
"What is a flower name?" Mu Xuanyi has never been to a place like this and knows nothing about it.
"It's the name you use to look up the brands in our building. How about I pick one for you and call it Qiangwei?"
Although Mu Xuanyi felt that this thing was not very necessary, the madam insisted on taking it, saying that since there was no such name, it would be difficult to negotiate at that time, and even the oiran election tonight might not be possible.
She said it so seriously that Mu Xuanyi nodded: "Anything is fine."
"Okay! Come, Xiaocui, you take our girl Qiangwei back to the room to rest. You must perform well tonight and bring glory to our building."
The madam smiled brightly and called a maid to lead her back to rest. Mu Xuanyi was really tired these days and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.
After she woke up, she felt her mouth was dry and her tongue was dry, so the madam brought a sumptuous meal for her to eat.
Perhaps because she was too hungry, Mu Xuanyi did not notice the problem with the meal.
After eating, she realized that her body was slightly warm.
Had the Madam drugged herself? Mu Xuanyi was shocked. At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and the Madam's voice also came in.
"It's almost time, is Miss Rose ready?"
"It's time for us to go on stage."
Mu Xuanyi still didn't understand at this moment that she was being plotted by this old madam. If she really followed her request and participated in the oiran election, there would definitely be guests coming tonight, and she would be drugged again, 80% of the time.
There is no escape.
But she couldn't let the other party do whatever he wanted to her, so escaping now was the best choice.
Mu Xuanyi pushed the window hard, only to find that the window was also sealed. The madam had already planned everything before she sent him into this room.
"Why don't you come out? Then I will open the door."
This entire building belongs to the madam, and having the key here couldn't be easier, so he can open the door easily.
Looking at Mu Xuanyi, who was standing in the room with a frown, the impatience on the old madam's face turned into a smile: "What's wrong? Qiangwei? Are you feeling unwell? Why didn't you answer my call for a long time?"
