When Zhou Yunshu returned to the square with the roster, the selection of the saint had already ended.
Uncle He looked at Zhou Yunshu who had returned, frowned and said, "Where have you been for so long?"
Zhou Yunshu said with an apologetic face: "I didn't find Mr. Zhang."
"Then he probably went back to his own yard." Uncle He said unsatisfied: "If you can't find it, you should come back early. There are still so many things to deal with."
"yes."
Uncle He was very satisfied with Zhou Yunshu's obedience, so he specially brought the list of ten selected saints back to her.
Several people missed lunch when they returned. Fortunately, they missed the big pot of rice but there was a small stove waiting for them.
Small stove rice is much richer than big pot rice. The staple food is two multi-grain steamed buns, with cabbage stewed vermicelli, potato stewed beans, and radish pickles.
After Zhou Yunshu finished eating all these, Wu Yue called her away and secretly ate two more boiled eggs.
It's a day like being a thief.
When Zhou Yunshu was called away by Uncle He again in the afternoon, the complaints in Wei Zhong's eyes were about to flow out.
These bastards exploited their princess even though she was pregnant!
Zhou Yunshu didn't pay attention to Wei Zhong's anger. At this moment, she was standing in a courtyard called Furongyuan and saw the saint who had just been selected this morning.
Wan Liqing and Lily both had a look of surprise on their faces when they saw Zhou Yunshu. Later, thinking about Zhou Yunshu's reputation in the team at that time, it seemed that it was not strange to be valued in the Red Lotus Sect.
Zhou Yunshu's task in the afternoon was very simple, because most of the people in the church were arranged to prepare for the birthday banquet of Our Lady of the Red Lotus tomorrow. Uncle He couldn't find anyone to write the final list of the ten newly minted saints, so he grabbed Zhou Yunshu. come over.
Who told Zhou Yunshu to be obedient and write beautiful words at the same time?
Uncle He left Furongyuan after bringing Zhou Yunshu over. He was the accountant of the Red Lotus Sect. He had too many things to deal with and had no time to guard the Furongyuan.
In addition to the saints of Furongyuan, there are also their respective maids and four red lotus envoys guarding the entrance of the courtyard, so they are not afraid of any trouble.
Zhou Yunshu was now a "man". To avoid suspicion, she sat directly at the table in the main room, preparing to record the roster of saints in public.
It's just that Zhou Yunshu wants to avoid suspicion, but the saints don't want some of their information to be revealed to other saints.
There is a competitive relationship between them, especially the Red Lotus Mother said that she would only bring five people to Beijing in the future, but they had ten people.
"Sir, can we go to the study to write?" The saint at the front of the queue has a melon-shaped face and spring eyes, which makes people pity her.
"Inappropriate."
The saint continued: "Sir, if we let the maids wait outside, it does not count as being alone, and..." She glanced at the other saints around her, and said: "This list is our private matter, and everyone must not want to do it. Announce it to the public.”
"That's what Saint Liu said."
"Sir, just go to the study."
"Yes, we won't be able to stay together for long. Sir, please agree to our request~"
Zhou Yunshu listened to the pleas of the delicate ladies around her, and finally nodded helplessly.
The list they want to record this time is different from the previous list during the selection. This time the list needs to record their height, weight, body measurements, and some visible and invisible specialties.
This is also why these saints are unwilling to speak out in public. Firstly, it is really embarrassing to say it; secondly, they want to use some tricks in the boudoir as their own trump cards on the people who should use them.
When it was Wan Liqing's turn, she looked at Zhou Yunshu and didn't dare to speak for a while.
Zhou Yunshu acted as if she didn't know Wan Liqing, and said with clear eyes: "Saint Wan, you can start."
Wan Liqing carefully looked at Zhou Yunshu and made sure that there was no trace of contempt in his eyes before biting her lip and starting to tell.
After finishing speaking, Wan Liqing stood up and paused for a moment, then turned to look at Zhou Yunshu and said: "Sir, do you think I am following the influence of others and climbing the dragon..."
"No." Zhou Yunshu put away her pen, looked at Wan Liqing and said, "People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. As long as Wan Saint Girl feels that the path she has chosen is what she wants, then feel free to go."
Wan Liqing listened to Zhou Yunshu's clear and gentle words, and her uneasy heart slowly fell into place.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Wan Liqing leaving and took the brush to dip in the ink without paying much attention.
The Red Lotus Sect was planning to use these saints to disrupt the emperor's heart, and she was happy to see it succeed. Although the Dog Emperor was not dead when she died in childbirth in her previous life, he was probably not far away from his death.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yunshu curled her lips and was in a good mood, waiting for the arrival of the next saint.
When Lily opened the curtain, she saw that handsome figure wearing a red cloak sitting in front of the table. Obviously his face could only be considered handsome, but Lily couldn't move her eyes away.
Zhou Yunshu raised her head when she heard the footsteps, and when she saw Lily, she raised the corners of her mouth and gave her a shallow smile.
"sit."
Lily adjusted her clothes and hair subconsciously, and then slowly sat down opposite Zhou Yunshu.
"Sir." Lily shouted seriously and well-behaved.
Zhou Yunshu nodded, looked at Lily and said, "Let's get started."
Lily swallowed her tight throat slightly, "Sir, don't you have anything to ask?"
For example, how did she, a brothel girl and the concubine of a merchant, become the selector of a saint? How did she become a saint? What did she want to do...
She nervously looked at the man opposite him who always looked calm and calm, and silently clenched her fists.
"As long as it's your own choice, you don't regret it."
Lily lowered her eyes, her frostbitten fingers curled into her long sleeves.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Lily and sighed slightly in her heart, and said again: "Let's get started."
Lily nodded. She paused when she talked about her strengths. She looked into Zhou Yunshu's eyes for a long time before continuing to tell her the skills of serving people she had learned over the years.
This is one of her advantages in entering the selection. The Red Lotus Virgin hopes that they can use all their strength to tie the aloof emperor to their bed.
Every time Lily said something, her heart felt like it was being ripped open. After she finished saying everything, her heart was dripping with blood, and her face was even more pale and ugly.
Probably no one would fall in love with a woman like herself. She had been prepared for it, but she still didn't want to see the contempt and disgust of the person in front of her.
"It's written."
Zhou Yunshu put down her pen with a normal tone, looked up and saw Lily's face was pale and seemed to be crumbling.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Yunshu frowned slightly.
Listening to Zhou Yunshu's concerned tone, Lily suddenly felt as if a handful of painkillers had been sprinkled on her heart.
She shook her head and stood up holding on to the table.
When she turned around to leave, Zhou Yunshu's words came from behind again.
"It's hard for women to live in this world."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the slender back and thought of what she had heard from elsewhere about Lily's life of being unable to control herself since childhood, and said: "Lily, many things are not your fault. Learn to pity yourself and take care of yourself."
"Um."
Lily endured the trembling all over her body and strode away, her nails digging into her palms to control the tears from falling.
She didn't dare to go out like this, for fear that someone would accuse Zhou Yunshu of what he had done to her.
When no one saw her, she sat on the chair in the main room and lay down, quietly letting her emotions slowly calm down.
After Zhou Yunshu finished writing the list of ten saints, she put the list away, went to the outer room, bid farewell to the saints, and returned to Ginkgo Garden.
As soon as she opened the door of Ginkgo Garden, she saw Wu Gui, dressed in men's clothing, playing Cuju with An Sheng. When Zhou Yunshu came in, Cuju just rolled to her feet.
An Sheng quickly hid behind Wu Gui. After Wu Gui touched his little head and comforted him, he said to Zhou Yunshu: "Follow me with Cuju in your arms."
"yes."
Zhou Yunshu followed Wu Gui into her and Wu Yue's yard. There was no one else in the yard. Wu Gui's voice came softly from the front, "Tonight, Haizheng, the eighteenth hole."
The corners of Zhou Yunshu's lips curled up, "Okay."
