"What are you looking at?" Ye Heng saw Liu Qinghuan looking around and tapped her little head.
"It's nothing, let's go line up." Liu Qinghuan pushed Ye Heng to the end of the line. Ye Heng noticed her concealment, but didn't ask any more questions.
Humph, it’s nothing more than realizing that you’ve done something wrong to yourself.
After all, Ye Heng had been fighting for many years and had a very keen observation ability. He could see through Liu Qinghuan's little thoughts as if they were transparent.
Now, if I take advantage of Qinghuan's guilt towards me, I can gain a lot of benefits.
As Ye Heng thought about this, the non-existent tail behind him almost started shaking.
The two of them almost circled half the lake before they found the end of the team, but because they were a step slow, they were overtaken by someone else.
"How long will this wait end..."
Standing at the end of the line, unable to even see the registration desk, Liu Qinghuan felt extremely desperate.
"If you're tired, I'll hold you." After Ye Heng finished speaking, he was about to reach out and pick the person up. Liu Qinghuan quickly took a step back.
"It's broad daylight, so please be quiet."
"How about I ask Luo Hua to bring you a sedan chair so you can sit in it for a while?" Seeing that other young ladies were riding in sedan chairs, Ye Heng also suggested this.
"You can ask him to bring two chairs. There's no need for a sedan chair. It will disturb my enjoyment of the scenery. This lake is indeed a famous lake that is well-known throughout Da Qi. The scenery is different in each season. Now in early spring, the lake is clear against the backdrop of tender willows on the shore, and the waves are sparkling in the breeze. It makes me feel great just looking at it." Liu Qinghuan thought Ye Heng's suggestion was good and nodded casually.
Ye Heng gestured to Luo Hua in the dark, then said to Liu Qinghuan, "Do you want me to call Situ over so that you two can recite some poems and do some couplets facing the lake?"
Liu Qinghuan knew Ye Heng was teasing her and said angrily, "No need! I'm not Dai'er, so I can only enjoy the lake with a rough guy like you."
Ye Heng touched the livid Liu Qinghuan and said, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged. But since it was your own choice, you still have to endure it."
"I understand." Liu Qinghuan slapped away Ye Heng's hand on her head, then stood on tiptoe to pinch his face, speaking with gritted teeth.
The two looked so close that they were clearly a couple. The girls nearby were all whispering, wondering if the man was just being careless or if he simply didn't care about the girl.
Ye Heng felt the uncomfortable gaze and glared at them coldly, causing everyone to shut up instantly.
He looked tough, but it turned out to be a gangster leader. No wonder, there should be a lot of women like him, so he would not take one or two seriously.
Liu Qinghuan kept looking at Jing'er. She didn't know that she was being talked about by the girls nearby, and she didn't know that General Qingguang had become a gangster leader with women everywhere in the eyes of others.
After waiting for a while, it was Fengying who brought two chairs.
"You're here, Fengying! When did you arrive?" Fengying had escorted Situ Wang to Yunxi and was quite a bit behind. Liu Qinghuan hadn't seen him in nearly ten days, so seeing him now was unavoidable, so he asked a few questions.
"I just arrived and saw Luo Hua going back to get a chair, so I brought it for him." Fengying was used to following Ye Heng around, and he was the one who did all these chores.
"Did you have a smooth journey?" Liu Qinghuan sat down next to Ye Heng, and Fengying consciously joined the team and lined up.
"It's going smoothly. Mr. Situ has an easygoing personality and is not difficult to serve."
"Why, are you implying that Zijun is difficult to please?"
"No, no, no, no."
Liu Qinghuan wanted to tease him, but seeing Fengying almost scared to death and saying something against his will, he couldn't bear it anymore: "I was just joking. Our Zijun has the best temper, right?"
Liu Qinghuan tilted his neck and looked at Ye Heng, who nodded cooperatively.
"I've noticed that all the women in Suzhou are beautiful and stunningly good-looking. Why don't you pick one to take back with you, Fengying?" Liu Qinghuan didn't dare joke with Luo Hua's icy face. Hua Jin was burdened with a debt of love, and as for Yu Tang, Liu Qinghuan wasn't sure about his sexual orientation yet...
Fengying is still the most fun, teasing him can help to relieve boredom.
"I'm still young, there's no need to rush." Fengying would not have come if he had known he would be interrogated like this... He wanted to cry, but he didn't dare.
Luo Hua on the tree: That was...that was close.
Fortunately, Fengying was a talkative person, and Liu Qinghuan chatted with Fengying to relieve his boredom and pass the time waiting in line.
"Miss, please tell me your name and talent."
When it was Liu Qinghuan's turn, the brother who was registering felt like his lips were worn out from talking too much.
"Liu Qinghuan, cooking."
The man glanced at Liu Qinghuan and nodded, "Pay the silver over there, two taels."
There is also an application fee.
Liu Qinghuan thought.
Fengying took out two taels of silver and placed them on the table next to him.
The person who registered wrote Liu Qinghuan's name on the booklet and handed her a green sign: "Take this."
Liu Qinghuan flipped through the green card and saw the words "45" written on it, so he asked, "Is this my number? Will it be displayed in order when the time comes?"
"Well, we're in groups of three. Yours is the fifteenth group. Don't miss it."
"Then... isn't there a screening? When will it take place?"
Liu Qinghuan thought to himself that he had already paid the money, so he should not be fooled.
"You passed. Let's go. Next one." The man waved his hand impatiently.
Liu Qinghuan was confused: When did the screening take place?
With doubts in his mind, Liu Qinghuan didn't walk too far and just watched from the side.
It took a while to figure out the ropes: first, the appearance had to be acceptable. Secondly, if the talent was singing, dancing, or playing a musical instrument, they'd ask a few more questions about it, and they sounded quite professional. But after listening for so long, I realized only a few people showed off their cooking skills, and they passed without even looking at their appearance.
Later, Liu Qinghuan learned that performing on stage at the Hundred Flowers Festival was a good way for businesses in Suzhou City to advertise.
Even places like cloth shops and gold shops would look for attractive ladies to advertise on their premises.
Those whose talent is cooking are mostly from families that own restaurants. After all, if you really want to stand out at such a grand event, cooking is probably not the way to go.
This is something that is generally understood in Suzhou. After all, the food after the cooking demonstration is to be shared with everyone. Who would object to free food?
Therefore, Liu Qinghuan took advantage of this opportunity and signed up directly.
"Okay, let's go home first. It's already evening. Didn't we say it starts at Youshi? We have to go back and have a bite to eat."
Liu Qinghuan glanced at the lake. The flower boat docked on the shore had its lights on. Although it was not too late, it was still surprisingly beautiful.
I went back with Ye Heng, had a meal and came back. The scenery here was completely different.
In addition to the large flower boat in the middle, there are many passenger boats around it. The Silver Lake is brightly lit, but it doesn't look like a silver lake, but rather like a golden lake.
There are also many flower-related gadgets for sale on the shore, not to mention fresh flowers, but also lanterns, floral handkerchiefs, hairpins and sachets with various floral scents. Although it is early spring, all flowers are in full bloom tonight.
