The Legend Zhuohua

Chapter 2

The master and the servant hurried on their way leisurely, and spent a deserted but warm and comfortable New Year's Eve at an inn halfway. When they arrived in Dingjing, it was already the fifth day of the first lunar month.

In a back alley in the east of Dingjing City, two small figures appeared quietly. The master and servant rented a small yard, paid half a year's rent, and spent half of their savings. This is only 10% of what the host received when he saw the two of them were young, sweet-tongued and sweet.

"Our street is called Flower Alley. There are flower sellers here, and there are flower sellers over there, but they sell another kind of flowers." The woman raised her eyebrows, showing a somewhat disgusted expression, "You two girls It's better not to go out at night to avoid bad things happening."

The woman looked at the two thin and thin girls in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel a bit of pity and care. The master and the servant were dressed in blue-gray coarse cloth, probably for the convenience of traveling. They were both dressed in men's clothing, but if you look closely, you can still tell their original gender.

Mu Zhuohua's mother grew up in a brothel, so she was naturally good at dressing up. Mu Zhuohua had been influenced by her since she was a child, and she just slightly changed the way she used makeup and dressing up. While others were thinking about dressing up to look good, she responded. She followed her path and simply painted a few strokes on her face to cover up the bright colors between her eyebrows. At first glance, others thought she was a rather naive and simple girl, without any nostalgia or hostility. . Even a shrewd and snobbish woman like the landlord couldn't help but feel a little affection and care when looking at her moist and dark eyes.

Mu Zhuohua showed his way to the woman. The woman, who was illiterate, waved her hand and pushed her back. Mu Zhuohua said with a smile: "Thank you, Mrs. Lu, for taking care of me. The two of us went to Beijing this time to take part in the examination." , I am determined not to cause any trouble to my aunt."

When the woman surnamed Lu heard this, she was immediately shocked and said: "Looking at your young age, I never expected that you are actually a female candidate!"

Mu Zhuohua lowered his head shyly: "My mother died young, so my father asked me to study with him for a few years."

After hearing this, Aunt Lu felt more pity and love for Mu Zhuohua.

"I see, it's really hard for you to be so motivated. Although the imperial examination is now open to women, female candidates are still very rare. If you, master and servant, encounter any difficulties in the capital, come to see my aunt. I live three miles away. The place."

Mu Zhuohua listened carefully, nodded gratefully, and bowed to the woman with a smile and thanked her: "Thank you, Madam, for the advice." He took out a sachet from his sleeve, "I see that Madam looks a little tired, she must be dreaming too much." Mian, I have a sachet here. Put it under the pillow to help you sleep. Madam, you might as well try it."

Seeing that the sachet was exquisitely embroidered, the woman could not help but take it excitedly. She put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it. She felt a medicinal fragrance coming to her nostrils, which made her feel more at ease.

"How embarrassing is this." The woman said with a smile on her face, holding the sachet tightly and loving it. "I didn't expect you to have such skills."

Mu Zhuohua smiled and said, "Someone in my family is a doctor. I have been exposed to it since I was a child, so I understand a little bit."

No one would embarrass a doctor, let alone a girl who smiles so well-behaved and cute.

"This needlework is also very good. I guess your mother is a lady." The woman did not hesitate to praise her with some nice words.

Mu Zhuohua nodded with a smile.
