The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 135

On the 28th and 29th, several girls visited Danzhou hard.Although Danzhou is the most famous peony, there are also many flowers, but they are all covered under the light of peony, after all, the most famous in Dachu
Six out of ten families who are famous for growing peonies are located in Danzhou.

Yun Xi happily bought a lot of seeds and went back to prepare to strengthen her team.At the same time, she also bought some Danzhou specialties. She even found mint grass and planned to plant an acre of land when she went back.

Yunyao also bought several kinds of jewelry for herself, and both sisters did not forget to bring some special products back to the family.

Among them, Yun Yao loves Danzhou's flower cakes the most, and after eating several in a row, she said to Yun Xi with great regret, "It's a pity that I can't take these back to my mother." The freshly baked flower cakes are the most delicious.

Yun Xi smiled, "It's a big deal, just bring uncle and aunt to play in the future."

Yun Yao thinks about it too.

Girls always have great enthusiasm for shopping, and they waited until the afternoon of the 29th to stay in the house and have a good rest.Yun Xi bought several seasonal dishes and cooked them herself.

After lunch, the person in charge of the Peony Festival sent three cards. The three cards were made of thin pieces of jade, engraved with Yun Xi's name and hometown, and the peony sent by Yun Xi. name and number.Yunxi's number is one
From 27 to 120, getting the serial number means that Yun Xi's three pots of peonies have all passed the primary selection.

The manager was very respectful to Yun Xi. After all, the peonies sent by Ms. Du, anyone can see that it is no problem to enter the top five. He asked the people below to send the jade cards of other people, but Yun Xi But he personally sent it over, and generally only those who are very promising to enter the top ten will work for him.

Yun Xi didn't know about this, but felt that the person who brought the jade token had a flattering smile.But she didn't reach out to hit the smiling person, so she naturally responded with a smile.

Yun Xi put away the three jade tokens, Mao Yiyun came over, pouted, and said: "Jade quality is ordinary, a jade token is worth five taels at most, no more."

Yun Xi chuckled, "You don't even think about it, for a thousand pots of peonies to enter the preliminary selection, at least a thousand jade tokens must be prepared, and the cost of a little more expensive jade doesn't even know how much it will cost."

Mao Yiyun thought about it too, so he didn't say much.

Dai Yanling said enthusiastically: "Let's go there early tomorrow morning!" Hehe, she wants to reward all the peonies, and it will be a source of conversation after she returns.

The girls went to rest early, and woke up just after the dawn of the next day.Yun Xi ate steamed buns, but in her heart she kind of missed the deep-fried dough sticks she ate in her previous life.Or, find some time after you get back, and make fried dough sticks, egg-filled pancakes and other snacks.

But the pickles in Danzhou are really not bad, and they are very appetizing with porridge. After Yun Xi asked Mao Yiyun's maid about the pickles shop, she planned to buy some before going back. Anyway, pickles can be kept for a long time. .

After having breakfast, several people set off for the venue.

The weather in the past few days is still very face-saving. It was still rainy some time ago, but the sun came out the day before yesterday. The sky seemed to have been washed, and the blue was as clear as a sapphire.

There were many guests who came to participate in the Peony Festival. Fortunately, the venue was large enough to accommodate at least tens of thousands of people, so it didn't look crowded.

Naturally, the first stop of the few people was to see Yun Xi's three pots of peonies. The steward had already told Yun Xi the address yesterday, and they found it quickly.

Yun Xi found that her peony was placed in the very center of the venue - that was the most conspicuous position.The three pots of peonies are also surrounded by wooden fences to separate the peonies from the guests.Two people who looked like guards stood by to prevent people with short-sighted eyes from sneaking up on the petals or approaching them.

Yun Xi took a look and found that there were not many peonies who had this kind of treatment, and there were no more than twenty of them in the entire venue.

Yun Xi and the others came early, but there were many people earlier than them. A group of people surrounded her peony tightly, and they exclaimed from time to time.

As Dai Yanling and Mao Yiyun, they really couldn't do the behavior of going in and crowding people, so they could only sigh, "Forget it, anyway, we have admired it several times, so we should go and see other things."

Yun Xi nodded. If Yan Ling liked it, she could give her a pot when she cultivated more peony seedlings.Yanling is really loyal and has helped her a lot.This peony may be worth ten thousand gold in the eyes of others,

But in Yun Xi's eyes, after all, she couldn't compare to her best friend.

She remembered that this peony was originally sent by Yun Shen, although it was in the name of a birthday gift... But does she have to return the gift?Given Yunshen's ability as a plant killer, it was impossible for Yun Xi to give him flowers and plants, so as not to be harmed by him.

Or continue to send weapons?Give him a few more swords, let him wear which one he likes to wear, well, he can choose according to the date and mood.

She completely let go of her thoughts here, thinking wildly, Yun Yao pulled her and ran to see other peonies.

There are too many peonies in the venue, and after one morning, you can only appreciate one-third of them.But Yun Xi and the others have plenty of time. It is said that the first three days were used for exhibitions. On the third day, a hundred pots of peonies will be selected. On the fourth day, the judges will score the peonies. Twenty pots.

Moreover, the scoring is public. For the selected judges, their reputation and prestige are the foundation of their lives. Naturally, they cherish their feathers very much, so that they will not be bought and sold, and then maliciously give high or low scores. After going out, their image will be ruined.

Yun Xi and the others went shopping all morning, and continued shopping after eating at a nearby restaurant.

Try to appreciate all the peonies within two days.

Yan Ling even said directly, "I have seen so many pots, but none of them can compare to Yun Xi, even if it is said to be bred by the so-called Master Peony." be proud.

Mao Yiyun nodded in agreement, "I think so too, I'm afraid that the oiran this time will fall on Yun Xi's pot of black peony."

That color...is so positive.There used to be black peonies, but they were all between black and purple, so they couldn't compare to Yun Xi's pot.I'm afraid Da Chu hasn't done anything like this before.Although Yao Huang and Wei Zi are the Queen of Flowers, they are not uncommon at the Peony Festival, but the Black Peony is different.

Yun Xi also thinks the same way - after all, rare things are valuable, unless the judges of the Peony Festival don't want to be famous.One morning, from the moment she entered the arena to the time she left, there were no less than twenty people around her, and the team got bigger and bigger as they went to the back.Other peonies did not have such a high popularity, even Yao Huang, Wei Zi, Zhao Fen, Ou Bi were overshadowed by those three pots of peonies.

Yun Xi's pair of Qiao Peonies, the yellow flowers themselves are not inferior to Yao Huang's quality, and the white ones are also not inferior to the crystal white that appeared in the venue, so they are also particularly eye-catching.As the saying goes, the shape is like a fine carving.The quality is like nephrite jade.

Yun Xi said something fair, "The pot of Yaohuang we saw today is really not bad." If it weren't for her three pots of peonies, I'm afraid it would be this year's oiran.

Yun Yao nodded, "I see that name tag, it's a lady from the capital city, it seems to be called Bai Yiru."

Yan Ling raised her eyebrows and said, "Bai Yiru, I know this name. When Yurong and I wrote letters earlier, they also talked about some things in the capital. Bai Yiru and Su Wan are the twin sisters of the capital. It is said that Bai Yiru looks as bright as a peony, and Su Wan has an ethereal temperament like an orchid. It is also interesting to say that Bai Yiru is very good at raising peonies, and Su Wan is good at orchids. position will become more stable.”

Because it took time to write letters back and forth, many messages were delayed, so Yanling didn't know that Su Wan had become a joke in the capital because of her marriage rejection by Lord Wen, and she was not as popular as Bai Yiru.

Yun Xi smiled, "Bai Yiru is also capable of raising Yao Huang."

After gossiping for a while, they ate and drank enough, returned to the venue contentedly, and continued to fight.

Yun Xi, Yan Ling and the others spent two days admiring all the peonies in the venue, and they knew which peonies would be selected.

On the third day, Yun Xi rested for the whole morning, and continued to go shopping after lunch.She met a very congenial lady in the clubhouse and planned to continue to communicate with her.

The lady's surname is Yu, and she is considered a legend.Mrs. Yu's Yu family is also a well-known Peony family in Danzhou, but her elder brother was spoiled by his parents, fighting cocks and walking dogs, omnipotent.The Yu family also lost a lot under his leadership.

Mrs. Yu met people who were not good, and the man she married when she was young was a scum who doted on concubines and killed his wives. After her daughter was killed by a concubine, Mrs. Yu sued her husband in court with a pleading, and then reconciled with her husband and brought her to court. Return to her natal home with the dowry.At
Although Madam's elder brother Yu Mengda is a dandy, he is very kind to his sister. Madam Yu came from such a family, and she has been deeply influenced by her. In addition, she does have some talents, and she has cultivated treasures in a few years, and has become one of the old masters. Oiran.

Yu Mengda simply handed over this aspect to his sister, and continued to be responsible for eating, drinking and having fun.In fact, Mrs. Yu is the current head of the Yu family.

Yun Xi and Mrs. Yu met at the venue the next day. Although the two were quite different in age, they hit it off right away and exchanged a lot of experience in growing flowers.Mrs. Yu also left her address, allowing her to visit Yu's house for a while before she leaves.

When passing by a small alley near the venue, Yun Xi keenly heard the sound of beating and scolding, which seemed to come from the alley next door.

"Let you go! Let you go! I'll give you money, but you don't want it. If you continue to be obsessed with it, then save your life. You don't want to save face!"

"I, I just want my peony."

"Your peony has been accidentally broken, and we can't take it out if you want it."

Wen Ziran also heard the movement like Yun Xi.

The two exchanged a look, and Yun Xi said to Lai San: "You guys are here to guard Yan Ling and the others, I'll go over and have a look."

Before Yan Ling could ask a question, Yun Xi had already flown to the source of the sound. In the corner of the alley, a man whose clothes were washed white was being beaten by a group of people. He coughed up blood all over the place, and his face was mixed with tears. And blood, looking very embarrassed.

One of the big men who beat him directly picked up the wooden stick next to him, with fierce eyes.

Even though he didn't know the situation, Yun Xi couldn't just watch someone being beaten to death. A stone was thrown in the past, and the big man was hit by the stone so painfully that his stick fell to the ground.

These people didn't seem to be good at first glance, and with the conversation just heard, Yun Xi had already favored the beaten man a bit.

She snorted coldly, and before the big man looked over, a nimble figure shuttled among these people, and within a short while, beat them to the point where they couldn't help shouting ouch.

The one at the head said sternly, "Do you know who we are?"

Yun Xi hadn't said anything yet, Yanling had already rushed over from the other side, humming, "It's really impressive, I want to know who your master is, so I just came to ask for advice." There is really nothing to be afraid of.

The big man didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly fell silent.

The beaten man coughed up a mouthful of blood and said weakly, "Thank you."

Yun Xi made a look, Lai San tied up these people, and Mao Yiyun's guards also came to help, and then sent these people to the house first, and then interrogated them carefully.

Yun Xi looked at the man who was beaten to the point of bleeding, and asked, "Why were you beaten?"

The man coughed, and said in a low voice: "I managed to raise a pot of Yao Huang before, and sent it to the Peony Festival to participate in the exhibition. As a result, I haven't received the jade medal for being selected. The group of people just came to my house and insisted on it. Give me 100 taels of silver, saying that my peony was accidentally knocked to the ground by his owner, and the flowers all fell off, and compensate me with 100 taels of silver."

"I don't want to accept it, even so, I only want my pot of peonies..."

"I wanted to come to the venue to get justice for myself, but they beat me up."

Yun Xi was puzzled, she didn't know as well as Mao Yiyun about the Peony Festival, so she couldn't help asking: "Has this happened before?"

Mao Yiyun frowned fiercely, "There have been incidents where peonies were accidentally destroyed before, but usually the principal will ask people to return the peony and compensate them for their losses. The highest compensation was 3000 taels."

What Yun Xi didn't say was that not everyone could raise Yao Huang, and there were less than ten pots of Yao Huang sent to the exhibition this year.

The man's eyes were red, "That Yao Huang was found by my wife at the time. After she passed away, she still wanted to send it here. I..."

Dai Yanling couldn't get used to this kind of thing the most, so she directly promised, "Don't worry, we will help you find out."

The man stood up reluctantly, kowtowed to them, and then this kowtow seemed to use up all his strength, and he fell directly to the ground.

Wen Ziran picked up the man, and the three of them returned to the house first to put the man in place.

Yan Ling and Mao Yiyun began to investigate this matter, and the biggest official in Danzhou was the prefect of Yao Lin Yao whom he saw that day.Yao Zhifu and Dai Hai are Jinshi in the same class, and they can be regarded as classmates. Compared with others, there is a sense of closeness.

Yan Ling directly posted the post to visit Yao's house, while Yun Xi followed the original plan to meet Mrs. Yu.She had made an appointment with Mrs. Yu before, and it was not easy to let her dove.

Mrs. Yu has decades of experience, plus the skills accumulated during the Yu family era, although Yun Xi does not have these.But because of her supernatural powers, she is more aware of Peony's mood. When taking care of her, she can also judge Peony's preferences based on this, so she has some unknown tricks.

Mrs. Yu saw that Yun Xi had never kept her secrets, and she liked her more and more. She also taught her no less than the techniques that were never passed on at home, which benefited Yun Xi a lot.

I don't know why, but when Mrs. Yu saw Yun Xi, she liked her very much, and even felt that she was more affectionate than those nieces at home.

After spending a pleasant afternoon with Mrs. Yu, Yun Xi returned to Mao's house.

The first thing she did when she came back was how Lai San's interrogation went.

Lai San frowned and said, "These people, their mouths are tighter than anything else, and they refuse to reveal how I beat and tortured them."

Yun Xi's fingers curled slightly, and she tapped on the table lightly, thoughtfully, "It's probably because their relatives' life, death, honor and disgrace are all in the minds of the people behind them. For their own relatives, they will definitely not let go."

When night fell, both Yanling and Yiyun came back, and the two investigated in batches in the afternoon.Yan Ling visited Yao Lin, and Yi Yun bought at least one peony at home every year, and had a good relationship with the president, so he bought it directly from him.

Mao Yiyun even got a roster, which contained all the names of those who signed up for the Peony Festival, including the list of selected peonies.

She was holding a thick stack in her hand, and she was hungry as soon as she came back.

Yun Xi knew that she was taking credit for her hard work, and said with a smile: "You guys check it out carefully, I will cook myself and cook you a delicious meal."

Yan Ling and Mao Yiyun suddenly smiled.

After cooking a large table of delicacies, Yan Ling and Mao Yiyun also began to talk about the results of their investigation.

Yan Ling spoke first: "I asked Uncle Yao, in this case, we will return the peony and compensate for the loss, there will be no other way. We can hand those people over to him for the yamen to investigate. "

As soon as Mao Yiyun opened his mouth, he complained, "You don't know, I checked the list just now, my eyes were dazzled, I'm so tired."

Yun Xi put a braised elbow in her bowl, "Our Miss Mao has worked hard."

Mao Yiyun took a bite and nodded with satisfaction, "Guess what I found? There are nine pots of Yao Huang sent to the exhibition this year, and nine pots were also selected. These nine pots of Yao Huang are all protected objects." , are well protected, and none of them belong to Chen Huo. I didn’t find any information about Chen Huo on it, nor did it appear in the primary election.”

Yun Yao was surprised: "Could it be that Chen Huo didn't send Peony there at all? He's lying to us?"

Yun Xi shook her head, "No, if he hadn't participated in the exhibition, he wouldn't have been beaten like that by those people. If I wasn't there at that time, I'm afraid he would have been beaten to death."

Both Yan Ling and Mao Yiyun looked puzzled, obviously unable to think of the reason.

As a person who has watched countless TV dramas, novels and detective dramas, Yun Xi thought of a possibility earlier than them, "You guys say, is there such a possibility? Chen Huo's peony was actually taken as her own works on display.”

The girls across from her all stared wide-eyed, with disbelief on their faces, none of them had thought of this possibility before.After thinking about it, I found that the possibility of this is really not ordinary.

Chen Huo's family was poor, and in the eyes of that person, he could keep his mouth shut for as little as 100 taels.The other party did not expect that this pot of peonies had a special meaning to Chen Huo. Chen Huo could not win the award, but he could not lose this pot of peonies.That person had no choice but to silence...

Yun Xi said slowly: "The group of people who beat Chen Huo this afternoon are hooligans in the city, and they probably didn't want to leave traces, so they bought them."

Yan Ling couldn't help nodding, and said bitterly: "This kind of practice is really shameful."

Mao Yiyun said: "But, but... who would do it?"

Yun Xi said: "The left and right suspects are just one of those pots of Yao Huang. The other party should have taken care of it before they can smoothly change Chen Huo's name to her own."

Yan Ling's brows furrowed fiercely. She hated this kind of deceitful and vicious person the most. "It's really difficult to choose one of the nine."

Yun Xi smiled, "It's actually not difficult."

Mao Yiyun and Yan Ling immediately fixed their eyes on Yun Xi's face, Yun Xi slowly made herself a bowl of fish soup, took a bite, and said with a smile, "The peony is raised by Chen Huo and his wife every day. I think he is very familiar with every inch of this peony. Let's take him to the venue tomorrow and see which of the nine pots belongs to him, so whoever is the culprit will naturally."

"Oh, why didn't I think of that!"

"Yun Xi is smarter."

"My sister is already the smartest." - This is Yun Xi's number one brain-dead fan, Yun Yao.

Yun Xi's face became serious, "But just in case, let's disguise Chen Huo and take him to the venue, such as sticking a beard, putting on sideburns or something, and painting the skin darker, and painting the eyebrows. thicker..."

She slowly talked about some tricks of makeup, and everyone nodded as they listened, obviously keeping them in mind.

The Mao family was not short of money, and the doctor Mao Yiyun found for Chen Huo was also the best in the city, and he even bought expensive medicines without blinking an eye.

One night passed, and although Chen Huo hadn't fully recovered, he didn't look like he was about to go back to the west at any time like at the beginning.It's just that with his body, it's best to rest for half a month.But the Peony Festival only lasts for five days, if you miss the opportunity on the fourth day, it will be too late.

After Chen Huo knew about it, he also said that he must go there in person.

Yun Xi brewed a pot of ginseng tea and put it in the kettle. If he feels tired, he can drink a few sips at any time.

Waking up early the next morning, Yun Xi nodded in satisfaction after making up Chen Huo so much that even his underground parents couldn't recognize him.Chen Huo also changed into silk and satin specially prepared by Mao Yiyun.Clothes make a man, and he is so different from the original one.

The group got into the carriage, Yun Yao gave up her seat to Chen Huo, and obediently stayed in the house.

When she arrived at the venue, Yun Xi went straight to the place where the pots of Yao Huang were placed.Because of the shopping a few days ago, and because she has a good memory, she can remember the general location.

Chen Huo ruled out one by one. When he saw the sixth pot of peonies, he stopped in his tracks and burst into tears, "This is my Yao Huang, that's my pot."

"He still looks good."

Although his voice was excited, he still remembered not to reveal it, and deliberately lowered his voice.But Yun Xi and Yan Ling beside him heard it.

Yun Xi's eyes fell on the small nameplate under the peony, which showed that the owner of this pot of Yao Huang was Bai Yiru.

Well, the so-called Pearl of the capital.

When Mao Yiyun described her at the beginning, he also said that she was as bright and enthusiastic as a peony.If what Chen Huo said is true, then this Miss Bai's character is really not ordinary. To praise her like a peony is to tarnish the peony.

Now that he found the rightful owner, there was no need for Yun Xi to stay, she just pulled Yan Ling and Mao Yiyun out.

After sitting in the carriage, Mao Yiyun erupted, "It's really disgusting. I thought she was a good person before, so I was wondering if I could find a chance to get to know her."

As the jewel of the capital, Bai Yiru's status is naturally not low. Her mother is the eldest daughter of Uncle Ye, and her father is the second son of Lord Hou.Who would have thought that such a young lady would do such a deceitful act.

In this way, it can also explain why Chen Huo was not silenced in the first place.As a girl, no matter how vicious her thoughts are, she chose to spend money to solve it because she didn't pay attention to Chen Huo.She even looked down on Chen Huo very much, thinking that 100 taels would be enough to send him away.After finding out that it was not possible, he chose to silence him.

Yan Ling, who was anxious and righteous, also felt wronged for Chen Huo, saying: "No wonder! No wonder, as Bai Yiru, the flower pot containing peonies is just made of ordinary pine wood." For example, if she wants to send flowers to the exhibition , the pot will surely
selected.But Chen Huo is different. His family is poor, and the flower pots used to grow peonies are all carved by himself.

Speaking of the flower pot, Chen Huo's eyes lit up, and he said: "My wife and my name are engraved on the bottom of the inside of my flower pot. My wife's boudoir name is Zhang Lan. Everyone in my family knows it. "

Mao Yiyun smiled and thumped his hands, "With such evidence, Bai Yiru's true face will definitely be exposed!"

Dai Yanling even asked the coachman to take him to the prefect's office on the spot. After meeting Yao Lin, she told Yao Lin everything.

Yao Lin stroked his beard, with a slight smile on his face, "I didn't expect you girls to investigate it earlier than me. Chen Huo can stay with me first, and go to the venue with me tomorrow. "

Dai Yanling didn't take any credit for it, "Yun Xi was smart enough to think of bringing Chen Huo in so that he could recognize his peony directly."

Yun Xi showed a smile, "It's just me, but I can't find it out. Yi Yun also worked very hard. It took a long time to check the list, and Yan Ling was also running around." None of them was idle.

Yao Lin smiled, "You guys have a good relationship. The Bai family is very powerful, and it would be troublesome if you are investigated. Just pretend you don't know about it and leave it to me."

Yun Xi was grateful in her heart, knowing that the prefect Yao was going to take the matter directly, so she thanked her repeatedly.

Leaving Chen Huo in the government office, Yun Xi, Yan Ling, and Yi Yun smiled at each other, with relief and tacit understanding in their smiles. It feels so good to work together to solve the matter.And because of this incident, the girls also had a common little secret, and their relationship became better.

Sitting back in the car, Yun Xi couldn't help asking her doubts, "Why do I feel that the magistrate doesn't seem to like that Miss Bai?" She seemed very happy to see such a trick in the Bai family.

Dai Yanling smiled and said: "I know a little bit about this. The prefect Yao is from the Yao family in the capital. Miss Yao is the niece of prefect Yao. Her fiancé fell in love with Bai Yiru and broke off the engagement with Miss Yao, making her a For the sake of laughing. But Bai Yiru said that she didn't like that man, and said that he was very suitable for Miss Yao."

Yun Xi finally understood how the hatred value came from. This Bai Yiru knew that the man's character was worrying, but said that he was a good match for Miss Yao, wasn't she deliberately stepping on Miss Yao.No wonder Yao Lin wanted to vent his anger on his niece.

"Bai Yiru often refers to herself as Peony, saying that she has an upright personality. She says what she says and what she says. She doesn't bother to flatter her. Many people praise her for her true nature."

The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, and she said, "This is taking uneducated as a true temperament."

Mao Yiyun snorted coldly, "In addition to the fact that she cultivated a pot of Wei Zi before, many people praised her for her ingenuity. Now it seems that whether she planted that pot of peonies by herself is still a question."

Yun Xi felt the same way.

Dai Yanling was very dissatisfied, "How can such a person be called the Pearl of the capital?"

Yun Xi knew a little bit about such tricks, and said with a smile: "This so-called pearl is nothing more than being touted by their family for the sake of girls' fame. I am afraid that a new batch of pearls will be produced in the capital every few years. This can be regarded as raising the value of my own daughter."

Her tone was teasing, "This so-called iron-clad capital is a pearl of flowing water."

This joke was appreciated by all ages, Yanling and Yiyun couldn't help laughing, and kept saying that she was narrow-minded, and her words were too hurtful.

Yun Xi did not rule out the fact that there were really outstanding girls among them.

After gossiping for a while, they went back contentedly, planning to get up early tomorrow to watch the excitement.

The ranking will be out tomorrow, and I don't know what ranking that pot of Yao Huang can get.Falling down from the clouds, the scene is very interesting to think about.

After getting off the car, Yunyao boxed in the yard, humming a little song while beating, in a very good mood.

Yun Xi joked, "Why, Yun Yao, did you pick up a silver ticket or something?"

Yun Yao stopped punching, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, "No, I just went out and saved someone."

Yun Yao smiled and talked about her going out before.She had nothing to do at home, so she went out for a stroll, only to meet a rich man whose purse was stolen by a thief.The rich man chased the thief, but he encountered the thief's accomplice and was almost beaten so badly that even his parents couldn't recognize him.

Yun Yao happened to see it, and rescued him, and also retrieved his money bag.

"That person praised me as a heroine." Yun Yao's brows and eyes were full of contentment and joy.

Yun Xi knew that this girl had wanted to be a heroine for a long time, and today her dream of being a heroine who acted bravely was fulfilled. Seeing how cute her eyes were, she couldn't help laughing and followed her wishes, complimenting her well, complimenting her Yunyao's tail was about to curl up.

Yan Ling teased and said: "The grace of saving life should be promised with your body, did the young master say you want to promise with your body?"

Yun Yao squinted at her, "I'm not good."

Yun Xi nodded in agreement, "You are so young, if that man has such thoughts, he is a pervert. I have taught you how to deal with perverts, right?"

Yun Yao nodded heavily, "I know, just castrate him and make him a eunuch!" The man in the courtyard trembled unconsciously when he heard the words.

Yun Xi watched Yun Yao continue to punch another set after wiping off her sweat, thinking in her heart that she could also make another sword for Yun Yao so that she could practice her sword skills.

In the evening, someone suddenly delivered a box of things, saying it was a thank you gift for their young master.

Yun Xi immediately thought of the person Yun Yao saved in the morning.After asking, I found out that the rich man Yunyao rescued was Deng Changming, the nephew of the great salt merchant Deng Xi.Since it was a thank you gift, Yun Xi asked Yun Yao to accept it.

Mao Yiyun looked at the box of gifts, and said, "As expected of the rich and powerful Deng's family, look at this..."

The Deng family directly sent a whole set of ruby ​​noodles, worth thousands of taels, and the other silks and satins, according to Yan Ling, were also so-called tributes.

After accepting it, everyone talked and laughed, and went to rest.

Yun Yao couldn't put it down looking at that set of jewelry, she had never had such a good thing.She picked up a ruby ​​gold hairpin, inserted it into Yun Xi's bun, and said with a smile, "My sister looks good on it."

Yun Xi directly took off the jewelry and said, "You can keep it yourself. It's better not to disassemble such a complete set. You can keep it as a dowry in the future."

Yun Yao said: "Sister usually gives me so many things, I should share some with you."

Yun Xi was very pleased with her sister's kindness, but she still refused, "You can share some of the silk and satin with me when the time comes, and it's not like I don't have good jewelry over there."

The two sisters don't need to be polite.

Yun Yao thought about it, so she stopped pushing.After washing her face, she climbed directly into bed. In the past few days when she came to Danzhou, perhaps because she was away from home, she preferred to sleep with her sister, so that she could feel at ease.

After waking up, the four little girls of Yunxi all changed into Yuehua skirts, but the colors were different. They were all young and beautiful girls (although Yunyao was young, she was innocent and cute), and they were all dressed in the same dress. The style of skirts, Yuehua skirt itself is full of fairy spirit, walking together, it is a very eye-catching scenery, the return rate is absolutely 100%.

Yun Xi received the notice of the top [-] finalists last night, and none of her three pots of peonies failed the selection, after all, the quality is there.

As soon as she arrived at the meeting place, the steward graciously led her in.

Yun Xi was much better than Yan Ling and the others, and at least got a position.In fact, the top [-] finalists can get a position.

Madam Yu was sitting on her left, and Bai Yiru was sitting on her right.Only six of the owners of the first twenty pots of peonies were women, who had separate seats from men, with men on the left and women on the right.

Bai Yiru's pretty face was cold, and she looked at Yun Xi with slight hostility.

It's understandable when Yun Xi thinks about it. Originally, this girl wanted to take Yao Huang and gain a place in the oiran, so as to add light to herself. Who knew that she would come down from the sky and kill her with three pots of rare peonies. Come here and block Qingyun Road.

Bai Yiru really hates this woman named Du Yunxi very much. Although she is just a lowly peasant girl, her appearance is more beautiful and charming than her, a noble girl from a famous family. When she frowns, she has a charming charm, and when she smiles, It is as bright as the morning glow and as bright as peaches and plums.The peony, which was as black as the night, had never been seen before, and she couldn't figure out how the other party made it.The gardener at home told her clearly that there is no such pure black peony in this world.

Therefore, Bai Yi hated Du Yunxi who was sitting next to her. She thought in her heart: When Yun Xi greets her and gets close to her, she must embarrass her and let her understand that with her inferior status, He is not qualified to approach her.

Then... Under her eager anticipation, Yun Xi sat next to her, turned her head, and greeted Mrs. Yu with a smile, and never looked at her from the beginning to the end.

If Yun Xi talked to her, Bai Yiru would think that she was greedy for power, but as she wished, if she ignored her, she would be even more upset, feeling that she was being looked down upon, and her face darkened completely.

Yun Xi was too lazy to rush to please this kind of person with questionable character, so she pretended not to notice and continued talking to Madam Yu.

Mrs. Yu knew something about Bai Yiru's family, she looked at her worriedly, worried that this little girl whom she liked so much would offend others.

Yun Xi saw her thoughts, and under the cover of her sleeves, she shook Mrs. Yu's hand calmly and blinked to show that she knew what she was thinking.

Mrs. Yu didn't say much.

When the time is up, the selection process will officially begin.Twenty pots of selected peonies were all brought here.

Yun Xi listened to the president smiling and praising the poems written by those literati and poets in the past few days, and felt as if she saw some kind of small animal of Mingjiao fox.

The next scoring is actually a process. The judges have already decided how many points they should score a few days ago.

The host at the venue announced the points for each pot of peonies one by one. Yun Xi used her mental arithmetic ability to calculate the points while listening to the points.Her pot of black peonies was impeccable in both color and appearance, and all fifty judges gave them full marks. After all, they really couldn't find the so-called defects. Not only the flowers, but also the leaves and branches were all the same. Flawless.

This is also the only peony that has received a full score in the past 50 years, and this full score is more convincing than a full score more than 100 years ago, and it is also more difficult to obtain.At that time, on the Peony Festival, the scoring process was not as rigorous as it is now. There were only ten judges, and the scoring was still anonymous.

As soon as the score came out, the bottom was boiling.

But when everyone's eyes fell on the pot of black peonies, they felt that the score was taken for granted. The faint black seemed to flow with mysterious and seductive light, which made people sink into it unconsciously.

Only such a score can match such a flower!
Listening to the buzzing voices of discussion and praise coming from behind, Yun Xi had a hunch in her heart that she might become famous all over the world after today.

As the saying goes, become famous all over the world.
