The rich and noble peasant daughter
Chapter 185 Double slap in the face, stunned Li Linglan
Chapter 185 Double slap in the face, stunned Li Linglan
The tip of the nose is filled with the faint fragrance of orchids, and the crimson post she holds in her hands is beautifully handwritten, obviously written by Tang Wan herself, just like her own impression, with a sense of tenacity in her gentleness.
Tang Wan invited her to go to Tang's house for a banquet to enjoy the flowers on the 26th of this month.
The corner of Yun Xi's lips curled into a playful smile, and she said to Li Qiu, "Go and find out who Wan'er invited over."
Li Qiu nodded, and found out in less than half a day.This is also because Logan was generous and never thought of hiding it.Tang Wan invited a total of twenty girls, including Yun Xi, to the flower viewing feast this time.The guests she invites are also quite particular.
Some of them are close friends of Su Wan, and some of them are close to Li Linglan—these are concubines who are favored at home, and some of them are not very close to Su Wan. Among them, Yun Xi saw her acquaintances in it, such as Tao Huanhuan and Lu Yiran.
She raised her eyebrows slightly. I'm afraid that many of these people are so-called witnesses. Su Wan is planning to slap Li Linglan in the face.I don't know if Li Linglan will find a reason not to go, but thinking about it, her reputation can be said to be in the sky, and she has a high spirit, and she is confident that she will not lose to anyone, and she will definitely pass.
She wrote a reply to Su Wan enthusiastically, expressing that she would go there, and then went back to the greenhouse, intending to choose a pot of orchids for Su Wan.It can be said that Su Wan was kind to her before, and the books she sent were all so-called out-of-print orphans.After Yun Shen saw it in the study, he was surprised for a while, feeling that the Su family deserves to be a scholarly family.
It was only then that Yun Xi realized that the value of those books was higher than she had imagined, and she had long been determined to return the gift.
She blinked and thought: Just like peonies, orchids come in all colors, and the pure color is the most precious.The so-called pure heart means that the color of the petals is pure and free of variegated colors.There are no pure black orchids, at most they are black and purple, so they are the most precious.For literati, they prefer simple and elegant colors such as pure green, pure yellow and pure white.
The petals of the Song Jinxuanmei grown here by Yunxi are all plain, and the leaves are elegant.Yun Xi also asked people to inquire about the pot of Song Jinxuan plum cultivated by Li Linglan before, and there was inevitably a red spot on the surface of her tongue.Yunxi's doesn't have such a problem.In such a comparison, Yun Xi's pots of orchids are not only Song Jinxuanmei, but also the rare Su Xin, directly higher than Li Linglan's pot.
She blinked her eyes, and directly chose the pure white Suxin's pot of Song Jinxuan plum, planning to take it there as a gift for Su Wan later that day.
……
The news that Su Wan invited many famous ladies to the flower viewing banquet also spread. After knowing that there was Li Linglan on the list, many people could smell the sharpness in it. On the basis of stepping on Su Wan.
No matter how gentle and considerate Su Wan usually was, everyone didn't think that she invited Li Linglan just to enjoy the flowers and drink tea, so they couldn't help but get excited.If it weren't for the invitation to enter the flower viewing feast, they would all wish to watch the duel between the two beauties on the spot.There are also casinos that directly set up the gamble, betting on which side will win in the end.
With Li Linglan's reputation as the oiran, the bet on her is that she is much taller than Su Wan.
Everyone's thinking is also very simple: If Su Wan really has any good orchids on hand, why not just take them to the Orchid Festival?Li Linglan's winning rate remained high for a while, and some people chose Su Wan with a fluke mentality. Su Wan's odds were ten times that, which showed that everyone really didn't have enough confidence in her.
When Yun Xi heard that Su Wan secretly asked the maid to pressure her for 5000 taels, she almost spit out the tea in her mouth.
Although the Su family is a scholarly family with a noble family background, they are still literati after all, and their daily food and clothing expenses are still dwarfed by those of the Houmen family.Of course, you can't say that. If the Su family is willing to auction off one-tenth of those calligraphy, paintings and unique copies in their collection, they can easily get a few 10 taels.
However, with Mr. Su's temperament, it is impossible to sell the precious collection no matter what.
Su Wan is considered to be loved by him again. Over the years, it is not bad to be able to save 5000 taels.I'm afraid that the 5000 taels of silver are her own for many years.
She directly pressed herself for 5000 taels, which shows that Su Wan is full of confidence in herself.
Yun Xi took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth lightly, and said to Li Qiu: "Let's also take out 5000 taels of silver to press Su Wan. This is ten times the odds!"
After Yun Yao heard about this, she also pressed down 3000 taels of silver, and said to Yun Xi with a smile: "I will wait for the 3 taels to come back when the time comes."
Yun Xi smiled, "If you lose the money, don't cry when the time comes."
Yun Yao wrinkled her nose subconsciously, and said immediately: "I won't cry! The worst is to make more money."
Now she is the richest person in the Du family except for Yun Xi.Who asked her to write the two novels, after they were released in the capital, the sales volume remained high, which directly suppressed other novels, especially the number of female fans who sought after them.
These female fans, supporting the author is a cruelty.The so-called "buy three sets. One set for collection, one set for Amway, and one set for appreciation" are weak. Like Lu Yiran, if you want to buy it, you can buy a thousand copies directly!I also often ask the troupe to rehearse the above plots.
Many booksellers from other prefectures also rushed to the capital and bought a lot of books to return.
Therefore, from the publication of the first book the year before last to now, Yunyao has earned at least 2 taels of silver, plus the dividends from her other stores, she has saved more than 3 taels of silver in the past few years, and has become a little rich woman.
Yun Xi shook her head, and said to Li Qiu, Shuang Jiang and the others: "Why don't you also deposit some money, and if you lose money, I'll make it up to you."
Liqiu smiled pretty, "Shuangjiang and I both pressed 50 taels, I just hope Miss Su can make us a small fortune."
Yun Xi thought for a while, and said with a smile: "If Su Wan successfully slaps her in the face and goes back, the rest of us have deposited so much money, the casino will not lose money?"
Just for her, Yunyao and Su Wan, the casino will have to pay 13 taels.
Yin Dan said: "I don't think so! I heard that the young master of the martial arts family has a deep affection for Li Linglan, so he specially pressured 1 taels of silver to support her. There are also many businessmen who also think that Li Linglan's winning rate is not low, so just pressure her." How many taels?"
When she heard this, her mood was very complicated.For a bet, these people threw down tens of thousands of taels of silver lightly, and they could buy a thousand of her and her sister.
It was because she and her sister were lucky that they could meet such a good master as Miss.
Yun Xi tilted her head, and said to Li Qiu: "You can release the news and tell Li Linglan that Su Wan doesn't believe that she can grow good orchids at all, and thinks that the Li family just bought people with money."
Well, with Li Linglan's temperament, she will definitely bring her pot of orchids there for comparison.
That's more interesting, isn't it?
Li Qiu heard Yun Xi's implication, nodded with a suppressed smile, turned around and went out to arrange the matter.
Yun Xi continued: "Yindan, you can also ask Yun Shen if you want to make a small profit?" This is an odds of ten to one, and it would be a fool not to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
Yun Yao suddenly clapped her palms and said, "I'll go and talk to my father and mother about this too." As the saying goes, the fat water doesn't flow to outsiders.
Yun Xi nodded, "Let's talk about Duo Duo too, let Li Qiu place the bet, and everyone will know the story."
By the way, he sent a letter to Yanling, reminding her that she can take this opportunity to earn some dowry for herself.
As for the others, she was too lazy to remind them. It would be bad if everyone knew about it.It's still okay now, so that people close to him can make a small fortune.
5 taels... Yun Xi also has to earn for several months, and she can't wait for the 26th to come.
……
On the 26th, the sky was as blue as washing, and the gentle breeze could easily dispel the boredom in people's hearts.
Yun Xi got up early in the morning. After washing her face, she applied a little moisturizing cream on her face, and then put on delicate makeup.Even if she does not wear makeup on weekdays, she is like a lotus in clear water. After putting on makeup, she is even more glamorous and moving, making it hard to look at her.
Wearing a light blue Yuehua dress on her body, she looks like a fairy who is about to transform into a fairy at any time while walking, ethereal and dusty.
Yun Xi had someone put the pot of plain-hearted Song Jinxuanmei in a glass cover outside, and accidentally bumped it.When Yun Xi came to the capital, for the flowers in the greenhouse, she specially ordered a lot of glass covers at the glass shop.
Yun Xi thought for a while, and then said: "Let's put another piece of cloth on the outside of the cover."
Shuang Jiang nodded, today Li Qiu and her accompanied Yun Xi to go out.The reason why Li Qiu didn't bring Yin Dan was also because Li Qiu knew a lot of news in the capital, especially the famous people in the capital, so he would use it when the guarantee was not complete.
Yun Xi got into the carriage, and the carriage slowly headed towards Su's house.
After getting off the carriage, Su Wan's maid, Yao Chi, saw her coming in the tea room, and immediately came out to welcome her.Yaochi itself is the servant of Grandpa Su Wan. After Hongxing became the adoptive daughter of the Su family, her grandfather Su Sheng sent this big servant girl to his granddaughter.Yaochi knew Du Yunxi's position in his young lady's heart, so he treated her very respectfully.
Yun Xi smiled, and ordered people to remove the orchids from the carriage.
It happened that two magnificent carriages stopped, and Lu Yiran, who was dressed in a red pomegranate dress, stepped out of the front one in the emerald and vermilion-covered carriage. When Lu Yiran saw her, he smiled, "What a coincidence, Yun Xi."
Yun Xi walked with her with a smile, "I never thought you would come too." Lu Yiran and Su Wan were originally in different circles, and they didn't have much contact.
Lu Yiran smiled with crooked eyebrows, "You know, wherever there is excitement, there is me."
Her words were a double entendre.
Yun Xi smiled and said nothing.
In the other carriage, Li Linglan got off as well.Li Linglan was wearing a moon-white skirt today, with several Song Jinxuan plums embroidered on the skirt, looking pure and pleasant.
When Li Linglan saw the two of them, after the initial daze, she raised a gentle smile, "I have seen Princess Du, and Princess Roujia."
Li Linglan later found out that the girl who was with Wenmingyue that day was Du Yunxi, who was well-known in the capital. With a trace of malice, she asked the family servants to step on Yunxi's foot when she spread the rumors.
When she saw the well-dressed Yun Xi, she also had to admit that this beauty is indeed not inferior to her, and fortunately she has already been engaged, otherwise, according to Wen Wenyue's love for her, she would have no chance to marry into the Wen family .
Yun Xi still had it, at least she greeted her face-savingly, "Miss Li."
As for Lu Yiran, he turned his head and whispered to Yun Xi directly, ignoring Li Linglan at all.As the princess who is favored by the emperor, she doesn't need to give Li Linglan any face.She already hated the arrogant concubine who couldn't even see her own identity.
"Hey, what is your servant girl holding in her hand?"
Yun Xi replied: "I planted orchids when I was free at home, and I could barely afford them. Su Wan likes orchids, so I simply gave them to her."
Lu Yiran was surprised: "I can't see that you two have a good relationship."
Yun Xi smiled, "It's just a coincidence."
When the two were chatting, intentionally or unintentionally, Li Linglan was left out in the cold.
Li Linglan was a little unwilling, and said with a smiling face: "What a coincidence, I also brought a pot of orchids today."
Lu Yiran guessed that she must have brought her award-winning Song Jinxuan plum, and said directly: "Oh, the orchid you brought is also for Su Wan? I didn't expect you to be generous."
It took Li Linglan a lot of effort to buy this Song Jinxuanmei from the Cailan people, and cultivated it for nearly half a year. She only had this one in hand, so she was willing to give it away. She said, "It's just that today is a flower viewing feast." , That’s why I brought it here, and let everyone enjoy it together.”
Lu Yiran hummed, and said, "So it wasn't a gift. Tsk, I thought you were too generous. You really were born as a concubine, and you are petty, so you can't get on the stage."
Every word she said directly pointed to the part that Li Linglan didn't want others to mention. It was like adding salt to his wounds. Li Linglan was so angry that she could no longer maintain the smile on her face, and her face was crooked.
Yun Xi almost burst out laughing.Only someone as noble as Lu Yiran who is not afraid of offending the Li family would dare to hurt her like this.Even Li Linglan's father, Lord Li Hou, was present, but he didn't dare to say anything.
After stabbing several knives into Li Linglan's chest, Lu Yiran turned to Yun Xi and said, "Let's go in, maybe for your sake, Su Wan will bring out the orchid tea she usually collects."
She is not a fool, so she can see that Yao Chi, the big maid beside Su Wan, came out to meet Yun Xi, and from this she can see Yun Xi's position in Su Wan's heart.
Yao Chi smiled and said: "Miss has already brought out the good tea from the bottom of the box."
This is an admission that the tea I drank today was orchid tea.
They walked slowly together, leaving Li Linglan and her maid behind.
A second-class maid got Yaochi's wink and also stepped forward to lead Li Linglan.
First-class maids and second-class maids have slight differences in their costumes, which can be distinguished.Li Linglan looked at the first-class maid who was leading Yun Xi, and the anger in her heart burned more and more. In addition, Lu Yiran stomped her to the ground with every word before, and Du Yunxi was still watching the fun.
She felt that these high-ranking prostitutes simply looked down on her on purpose.As a concubine, she was particularly concerned about her identity.
She clenched her teeth tightly to prevent her from erupting completely, and her long nails dug into the palm of her hand, faintly oozing blood.
She took a deep breath, forced a smile on her face, and said to the maid, "Please lead the way."
……
Yun Xi, who was walking in front, couldn't help but said to Lu Yiran: "It's really rare to see you targeting someone like this."
Lu Yiran sighed, and said: "Her sister Li Lingmei was also someone I played with when she was a child. She is obviously a daughter of a thousand nobles, and her food and clothing at home are not as good as a concubine's daughter. In addition, Li Linglan has a bad mind. I want you to promote your own reputation, if you don't give her a bad look, she really thinks she is very capable."
Yun Xi was moved in her heart, and smiled, "Thank you so much."
Lu Yiran sighed, "If you really want to thank me, why don't you tell me when will your beauty salon open?"
Yun Xi smiled and said, "April [-]th."
It happened to be her birthday that day, so it was a small celebration.
Lu Yiran nodded and said, "When the time comes, I must go over and support it."
The two were chatting and laughing, Yaochi had already led them to the garden.
All kinds of orchids are planted in the garden. Although they are not rare species, it can be seen that they have been carefully cared for.There are many varieties, but they don't look messy, and they look very comfortable.
There are three characters written on the plaque at the entrance of this garden - Yilan Garden, which belongs to Su Wan at a glance.
Five girls have already come to the garden, among them Tao Huanhuan has arrived early, eating pastries over there.Su Wan was wearing a light purple dress, with picturesque eyebrows, gentle and pleasant.
Seeing Yun Xi's arrival, the smile on her face became more sincere, "Yun Xi, Princess Roujia, you are here."
Yun Xi greeted her with a smile, "I couldn't think of any other gift, so I simply brought a pot of orchids that I usually tend."
Su Wan's eyes lit up, and she said, "That must be a rare good thing."
Lu Yiran sat down directly, picked up a piece of snack, ate it slowly, and asked in surprise, "This snack is also made of orchids?"
Su Wan nodded with a smile, "I have just figured out some fresh dim sum these few days, please don't dislike them."
Tao Huanhuan shook his head, "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it! I didn't expect orchids to be delicious when made into cakes."
Lu Yiran said: "I am looking forward to the legendary orchid tea."
Li Linglan also came at this time, and she calmed down now, and greeted everyone with a smile.Yun Xi found that everyone really didn't want to see the Li family very much. Although they all responded, their attitudes were quite cold, except for the two people who were already on good terms with Li Linglan.
Because of the presence of those two friends of hers, Li Linglan's mood improved a lot because of their unobtrusive pursuit.
Everyone sat in twos and threes, eating orchid snacks with friends who were familiar with each other in the faint fragrance of orchids.
Su Wan also started to make orchid tea.There was a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, and every movement of making tea was as graceful as flowing clouds and flowing water, with some indescribable rhythm, as beautiful as poetry and picturesque.
Yun Xi enjoyed this pleasing scene, and even relaxed her movements a lot, for fear of disturbing the beautiful scenery in front of her.There were many people who did the same thing as her, and even Tao Huanhuan stopped eating snacks, and her breathing became a little lighter.
The fragrance of tea curls up, and there is a hint of orchid fragrance in this tea fragrance, which is refreshing.There is an extra touch of orchid fragrance in the tea fragrance, but it does not appear messy, but complements each other perfectly, blending together perfectly.
Just smelling the aroma, I guessed that it must be a unique good tea, which brought everyone's sense of expectation to the highest.
Su Wan poured the brewed tea into each of the azure teacups, and then, holding the tray in her hands, she walked over with a smile on her face, her lotus steps lightly moving, her figure graceful and leisurely, "I haven't brewed this tea for a long time, The craftsmanship is a little rusty, if the bubble is not good, please forgive me."
Tao Huanhuan often walked around with Su Wan on weekdays, and he seemed to be close and natural when talking, "If the bath is not good, then I will punish you to pick some orchids for us!"
Su Wan sighed, "Every time you come over, my orchids in Yilan Garden will suffer."
Yun Xi smiled and said, "Then why not punish Huanhuan to write a eulogy for these poor orchids who were poisoned by her."
Tao Huanhuan immediately put on a bitter face, "Farewell, I don't know anything about these poems and words, why not punish me for picking orchids."
Tao Huanhuan is lively and broad-minded. She doesn't get angry when she is teased, and she can take jokes very well.So everyone teased her one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became cheerful.
Yun Xi took one of the cups of tea, the tea was crystal clear without any impurities.She took a sip lightly, and not only tasted the fragrance of tea, but also the faint fragrance of orchids, leaving a fragrance on her lips and teeth.
Really good tea!And when paired with the snacks on the same table, the taste is even more indescribably wonderful and harmonious.
Even Lu Yiran, who has always been picky, couldn't find anything bad. After drinking a cup of tea, all the twenty girls Su Wan had invited had arrived.Yun Xi was a little surprised to see that Su Hongxing didn't come out.She thought that with that person's scheming, she would definitely not let go of this opportunity to make friends with other people.
It is estimated that Su Wan also guarded against the opponent.
Yun Xi suppressed these thoughts, and chatted with other people with a smile.
It can be said that Li Linglan was not a friendly visitor today, and she was very angry when she first entered the door, so after drinking tea and putting down the cup, she was the first to light the flames of war. She smiled slightly: "Miss Su's ability to raise orchids , everyone is clear about it, and they don’t know what kind of treasures will be presented today, so as to open our eyes.”
She paused, and said: "I also brought my pot of Song Jinxuanmei today. On such a good day, I can enjoy it with everyone."
As soon as she finished speaking, her maid, Caiyun, had already stepped forward and moved the orchid she brought over.
Li Linglan's orchids were also placed in the cover. When the cover was removed, the pot of Song Jinxuanmei appeared in front of everyone.Tight and round sepals, graceful leaf posture, just like a maiden.
In all fairness, Yun Xi also has to admit that this pot of orchids is indeed well grown, and the title of Oiran is well deserved.
Everyone couldn't help looking at Su Wan. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Linglan took out this pot of orchids that she had carefully treasured in order to kick the hall.
Some people who are close friends with Su Wan couldn't help showing worried eyes - if Su Wan lost to Li Linglan today, she might be trampled to the ground.
Su Wan still had a gentle smile on her face, and her tone was full of sincere admiration, "It really is a rare flower."
She ordered Yaochi to wait for a few maidservants, "Take out my potted flowers too."
Yaochi blesses the body, and leads a few servant girls to leave gracefully.After a while, everyone held a pot of orchids in their hands.
The two maidservants carefully held orchids with golden petals in their hands.
Lu Yiran couldn't help exclaiming, "This is Tian Yihe!" A few years ago, she also saw Tian Yihe cultivated by Su Wan at that time, and she couldn't help being fascinated.Later, when I found out that the potted flower was broken, I was very sorry.
Everyone thought that Su Wan's cultivation of Tian Yihe was just a fluke, but who would have expected that today there would be such a fate, and they would be able to appreciate the rumored Tian Yihe again.
Everyone couldn't help cheering up, and they didn't even dare to blink, for fear that in the blink of an eye, the two pots of Tianyihe would disappear from their eyes.
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Wan in surprise.She only gave Su Wan one pot before, but she didn't expect that Su Wan would raise another pot of Tian Yi He in less than a year.
After all, she raised it by herself, even though the two pots are very similar, Yun Xi recognized at a glance that the pot on the left is the Tian Yi He that she gave to Su Wan.
The two servant girls put two pots of Tian Yi He on the table, and several other pots beside them.The orchids in the other pots are also rare orchid treasures, but they are still overshadowed by the two pots of Tian Yihe.
The golden color of pure heart, this is the orchid that many people dream of. Some people even think that Tianyihe is just a legend. It was not until Su Wan was bred in the past that people began to believe that the legend is real.
The pot of Tianyi lotus cultivated by Su Wan is comparable to Yun Xi's pot, each has its own beauty, and when placed together, the lethality is not simply one plus one.
Everyone looked at these two pots of Tianyihe, and then Li Linglan's Song Jinxuanmei, and there was only one thought in their hearts: that is, they are being compared.
Song Jinxuanmei is indeed the number one orchid, but the premise is that there is no Tianyihe.
Li Linglan's face was livid, she looked at the two pots of Tianyi He in disbelief, and murmured: "How, how is it possible..." Didn't it mean that Su Wan was exhausted?Didn't it mean that it was just a fluke that she made Tian Yihe earlier?Why are there new ones?
Even a few of her friends subconsciously took a step back to keep a distance from her. Everyone knew in their hearts: Li Linglan was completely defeated in the competition, and the loss was not ordinary.Who made her step on people too high-profile before, but now it's all right, her face is swollen from the beating.
Lu Yiran smiled and said to Su Wan: "The orchid fairy really deserves its reputation. I thought you were a fluke before, but now it seems that you deserve it. It's not like some people can get it for a small amount of money. of."
"Fake is fake, no matter how much you jump around, it's still fake."
Anyone could tell that Lu Yiran was mocking Li Linglan's inappropriate status.
Li Linglan's expression was distorted, but she couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.Her body swayed, and if it wasn't for her servant girl who supported her, she might have fallen to the ground.She was full of fear: If this incident gets out, what will happen to her reputation?
Su Wan shook her head, "In front of Yun Xi, I can't bear this reputation." She pointed to the pot of orchids on the left, and said, "Actually, this pot of orchids was given to me by Yun Xi last summer. Mine. Later, I bred another orchid based on the orchid seedling."
Yun Xi smiled and said: "This is also very powerful. Even if there are seedlings, it is not so difficult to raise such a good Tianyihe." She has supernatural powers and only has three pots at hand.The emotion conveyed from the orchid on the table told her that they all liked Su Wan very much.
Orchids can also feel whether they are taken care of carefully.
Su Wan was able to raise such a pot without supernatural powers. Yun Xi really admired her.
Everyone was shocked and looked at Yun Xi in unison.It turns out that the real master is here!Everyone didn't find out.
Tao Huanhuan smiled brightly, "Anyway, you two are very powerful, I am clumsy, even if I send flowers to raise, I will be raised to death. Our capital has also counted two Lanxians."
As for Li Linglan's previously hyped reputation, it was reduced to a joke at this moment.Those few friends of hers exchanged a look with each other, but they also praised Yun Xi and Su Wan, and they would follow the wind to the end.
Li Linglan recalled the words she said when she stepped on Yunxi earlier, and a mouthful of blood almost spewed out of her throat.The words she had said were all turned into slaps, hitting her face one after another.She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes full of unwillingness.
Seeing her ferocious expression, Yun Xi felt relieved, she lightly parted her red lips, "Speaking of which, the orchid I gave Su Wan today is also Song Jinxuanmei."
Su Wan knew the elegant meaning after hearing the stringed songs, "Then we will be lucky."
She nodded towards Yao Chi, and Yao Chi brought the pot of orchids that Yun Xi sent again.Yao Chi is also narrow, deliberately placed Yun Xi's orchid next to Li Linglan's pot, which immediately formed a sharp contrast.
Yunxi's pot not only has more beautiful leaves, but is also natural, and the flowers are still plain, which directly makes Li Linglan's pot look like scum.
Many people had also heard the rumors released by the Li family before. When they saw the face-slapping scene, they felt a little funny and couldn't help but chuckled.
Li Linglan stared at Yun Xi's pot of Song Jinxuanmei, and felt a sudden dizziness, a strong dizziness swept over like a tide, her chest seemed to be pressed by a big stone, making her breathless.
Tao Huanhuan's voice was crisp and clear, "Sister Yunxi, you have so many good orchids in your hands, why don't you participate? Otherwise, you must be the leader."
Yun Xi wrote lightly: "It was just raised casually, and I didn't think I was so good, so I put it at home."
Can other people raise Tianyihe and Suxin Song Jinxuanmei with just a twitch of their mouths and casual raising?
Su Wan smiled faintly, "Perhaps it is because of your calm temperament that you can grow so many good orchids. Besides, for people like us, growing flowers is just to cultivate their sentiments. How can we be lucky enough to grow a good pot of orchids?" , let the whole world know.”
The words hidden in the cotton were obviously aimed at Li Linglan.Although Su Wan has a good temper, she is not the kind of person who can be rubbed round and flattened by others.
Li Linglan felt that the eyes of everyone looking at her were full of irony and jokes, and after hearing Su Wan's accusation against Sang Huai, her eyes darkened and she fainted.Her two maids supported her anxiously.
A young girl in an apricot yellow dress spoke with disdain, "Is this dizzy? The psychological endurance is really poor. She is really a concubine, and she is really petty."
Li Linglan's maids showed a look of humiliation on their faces. They were considered sensible, knowing their identities, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they could only suppress them.
Yun Xi said lightly: "It's probably because the weather is about to turn hot, so she's not quite used to it."
Su Wan thought for a while and said, "It's better to send Miss Li to the Hongxing Yard to rest for a while."
Both of them are big-hearted concubine daughters, so they are a good match.
Li Linglan's maid, Caiyun, managed to force a smile, "No need, my young lady accepts the bed, and I'll just send her back." It's hard to stay and be humiliated by these people.
The two servant girls hurriedly helped Li Linglan to leave. Yun Xi pointed to the orchid that Li Linglan had brought, and said, "Don't forget to take this orchid back. It can sell for [-] at least."
She had heard that Li Linglan had put 1 taels of silver on her body, and it seemed that the money was going to be wasted.
A girl from the uncle's family said: "No, I think starting from tomorrow, I'm afraid it will only sell for 1 taels."
When the maid Caiyun heard this, she staggered and let go of her hands. Li Linglan fell directly to the ground, her face hit the ground, and her nose directly hit the ground.
Just seeing this scene, Yun Xi felt her nose hurt.Ouch, it won't collapse, will it?
Under such force, Li Linglan, who had been dizzy before, faintly woke up and turned back.She raised her face, and there were still a few grains of gravel stuck to her face.She felt her nose hurt terribly, and when her nasal cavity became hot, a stream of heat gushed out.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Linglan's nosebleeds flowed down like this, and she was very embarrassed.That pure and soft face no longer had the original beauty.
Caiyun, who served her since she was a child, knows her temperament best, and she is panicked: she has caused such a disaster, and she doesn't know how the young lady will punish her in the future.
Li Linglan touched her nose, her hands were covered with sticky nosebleeds, her eyes went dark, and she fainted for the second time.
Caiyun caught her in time this time, and the two servant girls didn't dare to be careless this time, and hurriedly helped her out.
Seeing this ridiculous scene, Yun Xi and the others shook their heads amusedly.
Li Linglan's departure also improved the atmosphere a lot.Everyone admired these pots of rare and precious orchids, commented beside them, drank orchid grass, and ate orchid snacks. It seemed that the whole person seemed to be transformed into a fairy, which was extremely elegant.
After the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, everyone bid farewell to Su Wan.
Today, they can be regarded as watching a good show, and when they go back, they must publicize it well.
As for Yun Xi, Su Wan stayed behind to talk.
Su Wan took her directly to her room.
This is the first time Yun Xi came to her room. At first glance, she thought it was a study room. Several shelves were filled with various books.
Su Wan asked her to sit down, Yun Xi smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I made a lot of money this time."
Su Wan was startled, and soon understood what Yun Xi meant, she pursed her lips and smiled, "We are happy together."
Yun Xi blinked and said, "But I'm a little surprised that Hong Xing didn't come out today."
Su Wan said meaningfully: "She caught the wind and cold a few days ago, so naturally she can't go out to meet guests, otherwise it would be bad if she spread the wind and cold to the guests."
Yun Xi nodded and let go of this topic.I'm afraid that this wind and cold is also caused by Su Wan.
Su Wan took the initiative to mention, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Li Linglan, otherwise I wouldn't be able to earn back the dowry money in one go."
Yun Xi couldn't help laughing, but was a little puzzled, "Your mother's dowry should be in your hands, right?" Her mother's dowry alone is enough.
The smile on Su Wan's face diminished a bit, "My mother's dowry was in my father's hands before. Although I took it back later, the land and floor shop above it has not been reduced, but some cash is gone."
"Hongxing got married earlier than me. My father said her dowry was too thin and unattractive, so he used the money on the account to buy her dowry."
Yun Xi felt that Su Wan was really unlucky for eight lifetimes to meet such an extremely eccentric father.
Su Wan saw that Yun Xi was arguing for her, and the smile on her face became a little more grateful, "My grandfather was very angry when he found out, but he forced my father to sell himself. He said that he didn't do it for the maid. The truth of the prostitute's dismissal, forced him to spend twice the amount of money."
Yun Xi chuckled, suspecting in her heart that Mr. Su probably knew Hong Xing's true identity, so he deliberately made a face for Su Wan.It's also fortunate that Su Wan has a grandfather who loves her.
Su Wan said: "I really like the orchid you sent, and it's too precious. I don't have any good things here, so I can only give you a few copybooks, calligraphy and paintings."
After that, she took out a package that had been prepared in advance and handed it to Yun Xi.
He also ordered Yao Chi to pack two packs of orchid tea for Yun Xi to take back.Seeing that Yun Xi drank it several times before, she guessed that she probably liked the taste of this orchid tea.
Yun Xi took the gift and thanked her again before saying goodbye to her.
At the same time, what happened in Su Wan's flower viewing banquet spread in the capital.
(End of this chapter)
The tip of the nose is filled with the faint fragrance of orchids, and the crimson post she holds in her hands is beautifully handwritten, obviously written by Tang Wan herself, just like her own impression, with a sense of tenacity in her gentleness.
Tang Wan invited her to go to Tang's house for a banquet to enjoy the flowers on the 26th of this month.
The corner of Yun Xi's lips curled into a playful smile, and she said to Li Qiu, "Go and find out who Wan'er invited over."
Li Qiu nodded, and found out in less than half a day.This is also because Logan was generous and never thought of hiding it.Tang Wan invited a total of twenty girls, including Yun Xi, to the flower viewing feast this time.The guests she invites are also quite particular.
Some of them are close friends of Su Wan, and some of them are close to Li Linglan—these are concubines who are favored at home, and some of them are not very close to Su Wan. Among them, Yun Xi saw her acquaintances in it, such as Tao Huanhuan and Lu Yiran.
She raised her eyebrows slightly. I'm afraid that many of these people are so-called witnesses. Su Wan is planning to slap Li Linglan in the face.I don't know if Li Linglan will find a reason not to go, but thinking about it, her reputation can be said to be in the sky, and she has a high spirit, and she is confident that she will not lose to anyone, and she will definitely pass.
She wrote a reply to Su Wan enthusiastically, expressing that she would go there, and then went back to the greenhouse, intending to choose a pot of orchids for Su Wan.It can be said that Su Wan was kind to her before, and the books she sent were all so-called out-of-print orphans.After Yun Shen saw it in the study, he was surprised for a while, feeling that the Su family deserves to be a scholarly family.
It was only then that Yun Xi realized that the value of those books was higher than she had imagined, and she had long been determined to return the gift.
She blinked and thought: Just like peonies, orchids come in all colors, and the pure color is the most precious.The so-called pure heart means that the color of the petals is pure and free of variegated colors.There are no pure black orchids, at most they are black and purple, so they are the most precious.For literati, they prefer simple and elegant colors such as pure green, pure yellow and pure white.
The petals of the Song Jinxuanmei grown here by Yunxi are all plain, and the leaves are elegant.Yun Xi also asked people to inquire about the pot of Song Jinxuan plum cultivated by Li Linglan before, and there was inevitably a red spot on the surface of her tongue.Yunxi's doesn't have such a problem.In such a comparison, Yun Xi's pots of orchids are not only Song Jinxuanmei, but also the rare Su Xin, directly higher than Li Linglan's pot.
She blinked her eyes, and directly chose the pure white Suxin's pot of Song Jinxuan plum, planning to take it there as a gift for Su Wan later that day.
……
The news that Su Wan invited many famous ladies to the flower viewing banquet also spread. After knowing that there was Li Linglan on the list, many people could smell the sharpness in it. On the basis of stepping on Su Wan.
No matter how gentle and considerate Su Wan usually was, everyone didn't think that she invited Li Linglan just to enjoy the flowers and drink tea, so they couldn't help but get excited.If it weren't for the invitation to enter the flower viewing feast, they would all wish to watch the duel between the two beauties on the spot.There are also casinos that directly set up the gamble, betting on which side will win in the end.
With Li Linglan's reputation as the oiran, the bet on her is that she is much taller than Su Wan.
Everyone's thinking is also very simple: If Su Wan really has any good orchids on hand, why not just take them to the Orchid Festival?Li Linglan's winning rate remained high for a while, and some people chose Su Wan with a fluke mentality. Su Wan's odds were ten times that, which showed that everyone really didn't have enough confidence in her.
When Yun Xi heard that Su Wan secretly asked the maid to pressure her for 5000 taels, she almost spit out the tea in her mouth.
Although the Su family is a scholarly family with a noble family background, they are still literati after all, and their daily food and clothing expenses are still dwarfed by those of the Houmen family.Of course, you can't say that. If the Su family is willing to auction off one-tenth of those calligraphy, paintings and unique copies in their collection, they can easily get a few 10 taels.
However, with Mr. Su's temperament, it is impossible to sell the precious collection no matter what.
Su Wan is considered to be loved by him again. Over the years, it is not bad to be able to save 5000 taels.I'm afraid that the 5000 taels of silver are her own for many years.
She directly pressed herself for 5000 taels, which shows that Su Wan is full of confidence in herself.
Yun Xi took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth lightly, and said to Li Qiu: "Let's also take out 5000 taels of silver to press Su Wan. This is ten times the odds!"
After Yun Yao heard about this, she also pressed down 3000 taels of silver, and said to Yun Xi with a smile: "I will wait for the 3 taels to come back when the time comes."
Yun Xi smiled, "If you lose the money, don't cry when the time comes."
Yun Yao wrinkled her nose subconsciously, and said immediately: "I won't cry! The worst is to make more money."
Now she is the richest person in the Du family except for Yun Xi.Who asked her to write the two novels, after they were released in the capital, the sales volume remained high, which directly suppressed other novels, especially the number of female fans who sought after them.
These female fans, supporting the author is a cruelty.The so-called "buy three sets. One set for collection, one set for Amway, and one set for appreciation" are weak. Like Lu Yiran, if you want to buy it, you can buy a thousand copies directly!I also often ask the troupe to rehearse the above plots.
Many booksellers from other prefectures also rushed to the capital and bought a lot of books to return.
Therefore, from the publication of the first book the year before last to now, Yunyao has earned at least 2 taels of silver, plus the dividends from her other stores, she has saved more than 3 taels of silver in the past few years, and has become a little rich woman.
Yun Xi shook her head, and said to Li Qiu, Shuang Jiang and the others: "Why don't you also deposit some money, and if you lose money, I'll make it up to you."
Liqiu smiled pretty, "Shuangjiang and I both pressed 50 taels, I just hope Miss Su can make us a small fortune."
Yun Xi thought for a while, and said with a smile: "If Su Wan successfully slaps her in the face and goes back, the rest of us have deposited so much money, the casino will not lose money?"
Just for her, Yunyao and Su Wan, the casino will have to pay 13 taels.
Yin Dan said: "I don't think so! I heard that the young master of the martial arts family has a deep affection for Li Linglan, so he specially pressured 1 taels of silver to support her. There are also many businessmen who also think that Li Linglan's winning rate is not low, so just pressure her." How many taels?"
When she heard this, her mood was very complicated.For a bet, these people threw down tens of thousands of taels of silver lightly, and they could buy a thousand of her and her sister.
It was because she and her sister were lucky that they could meet such a good master as Miss.
Yun Xi tilted her head, and said to Li Qiu: "You can release the news and tell Li Linglan that Su Wan doesn't believe that she can grow good orchids at all, and thinks that the Li family just bought people with money."
Well, with Li Linglan's temperament, she will definitely bring her pot of orchids there for comparison.
That's more interesting, isn't it?
Li Qiu heard Yun Xi's implication, nodded with a suppressed smile, turned around and went out to arrange the matter.
Yun Xi continued: "Yindan, you can also ask Yun Shen if you want to make a small profit?" This is an odds of ten to one, and it would be a fool not to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
Yun Yao suddenly clapped her palms and said, "I'll go and talk to my father and mother about this too." As the saying goes, the fat water doesn't flow to outsiders.
Yun Xi nodded, "Let's talk about Duo Duo too, let Li Qiu place the bet, and everyone will know the story."
By the way, he sent a letter to Yanling, reminding her that she can take this opportunity to earn some dowry for herself.
As for the others, she was too lazy to remind them. It would be bad if everyone knew about it.It's still okay now, so that people close to him can make a small fortune.
5 taels... Yun Xi also has to earn for several months, and she can't wait for the 26th to come.
……
On the 26th, the sky was as blue as washing, and the gentle breeze could easily dispel the boredom in people's hearts.
Yun Xi got up early in the morning. After washing her face, she applied a little moisturizing cream on her face, and then put on delicate makeup.Even if she does not wear makeup on weekdays, she is like a lotus in clear water. After putting on makeup, she is even more glamorous and moving, making it hard to look at her.
Wearing a light blue Yuehua dress on her body, she looks like a fairy who is about to transform into a fairy at any time while walking, ethereal and dusty.
Yun Xi had someone put the pot of plain-hearted Song Jinxuanmei in a glass cover outside, and accidentally bumped it.When Yun Xi came to the capital, for the flowers in the greenhouse, she specially ordered a lot of glass covers at the glass shop.
Yun Xi thought for a while, and then said: "Let's put another piece of cloth on the outside of the cover."
Shuang Jiang nodded, today Li Qiu and her accompanied Yun Xi to go out.The reason why Li Qiu didn't bring Yin Dan was also because Li Qiu knew a lot of news in the capital, especially the famous people in the capital, so he would use it when the guarantee was not complete.
Yun Xi got into the carriage, and the carriage slowly headed towards Su's house.
After getting off the carriage, Su Wan's maid, Yao Chi, saw her coming in the tea room, and immediately came out to welcome her.Yaochi itself is the servant of Grandpa Su Wan. After Hongxing became the adoptive daughter of the Su family, her grandfather Su Sheng sent this big servant girl to his granddaughter.Yaochi knew Du Yunxi's position in his young lady's heart, so he treated her very respectfully.
Yun Xi smiled, and ordered people to remove the orchids from the carriage.
It happened that two magnificent carriages stopped, and Lu Yiran, who was dressed in a red pomegranate dress, stepped out of the front one in the emerald and vermilion-covered carriage. When Lu Yiran saw her, he smiled, "What a coincidence, Yun Xi."
Yun Xi walked with her with a smile, "I never thought you would come too." Lu Yiran and Su Wan were originally in different circles, and they didn't have much contact.
Lu Yiran smiled with crooked eyebrows, "You know, wherever there is excitement, there is me."
Her words were a double entendre.
Yun Xi smiled and said nothing.
In the other carriage, Li Linglan got off as well.Li Linglan was wearing a moon-white skirt today, with several Song Jinxuan plums embroidered on the skirt, looking pure and pleasant.
When Li Linglan saw the two of them, after the initial daze, she raised a gentle smile, "I have seen Princess Du, and Princess Roujia."
Li Linglan later found out that the girl who was with Wenmingyue that day was Du Yunxi, who was well-known in the capital. With a trace of malice, she asked the family servants to step on Yunxi's foot when she spread the rumors.
When she saw the well-dressed Yun Xi, she also had to admit that this beauty is indeed not inferior to her, and fortunately she has already been engaged, otherwise, according to Wen Wenyue's love for her, she would have no chance to marry into the Wen family .
Yun Xi still had it, at least she greeted her face-savingly, "Miss Li."
As for Lu Yiran, he turned his head and whispered to Yun Xi directly, ignoring Li Linglan at all.As the princess who is favored by the emperor, she doesn't need to give Li Linglan any face.She already hated the arrogant concubine who couldn't even see her own identity.
"Hey, what is your servant girl holding in her hand?"
Yun Xi replied: "I planted orchids when I was free at home, and I could barely afford them. Su Wan likes orchids, so I simply gave them to her."
Lu Yiran was surprised: "I can't see that you two have a good relationship."
Yun Xi smiled, "It's just a coincidence."
When the two were chatting, intentionally or unintentionally, Li Linglan was left out in the cold.
Li Linglan was a little unwilling, and said with a smiling face: "What a coincidence, I also brought a pot of orchids today."
Lu Yiran guessed that she must have brought her award-winning Song Jinxuan plum, and said directly: "Oh, the orchid you brought is also for Su Wan? I didn't expect you to be generous."
It took Li Linglan a lot of effort to buy this Song Jinxuanmei from the Cailan people, and cultivated it for nearly half a year. She only had this one in hand, so she was willing to give it away. She said, "It's just that today is a flower viewing feast." , That’s why I brought it here, and let everyone enjoy it together.”
Lu Yiran hummed, and said, "So it wasn't a gift. Tsk, I thought you were too generous. You really were born as a concubine, and you are petty, so you can't get on the stage."
Every word she said directly pointed to the part that Li Linglan didn't want others to mention. It was like adding salt to his wounds. Li Linglan was so angry that she could no longer maintain the smile on her face, and her face was crooked.
Yun Xi almost burst out laughing.Only someone as noble as Lu Yiran who is not afraid of offending the Li family would dare to hurt her like this.Even Li Linglan's father, Lord Li Hou, was present, but he didn't dare to say anything.
After stabbing several knives into Li Linglan's chest, Lu Yiran turned to Yun Xi and said, "Let's go in, maybe for your sake, Su Wan will bring out the orchid tea she usually collects."
She is not a fool, so she can see that Yao Chi, the big maid beside Su Wan, came out to meet Yun Xi, and from this she can see Yun Xi's position in Su Wan's heart.
Yao Chi smiled and said: "Miss has already brought out the good tea from the bottom of the box."
This is an admission that the tea I drank today was orchid tea.
They walked slowly together, leaving Li Linglan and her maid behind.
A second-class maid got Yaochi's wink and also stepped forward to lead Li Linglan.
First-class maids and second-class maids have slight differences in their costumes, which can be distinguished.Li Linglan looked at the first-class maid who was leading Yun Xi, and the anger in her heart burned more and more. In addition, Lu Yiran stomped her to the ground with every word before, and Du Yunxi was still watching the fun.
She felt that these high-ranking prostitutes simply looked down on her on purpose.As a concubine, she was particularly concerned about her identity.
She clenched her teeth tightly to prevent her from erupting completely, and her long nails dug into the palm of her hand, faintly oozing blood.
She took a deep breath, forced a smile on her face, and said to the maid, "Please lead the way."
……
Yun Xi, who was walking in front, couldn't help but said to Lu Yiran: "It's really rare to see you targeting someone like this."
Lu Yiran sighed, and said: "Her sister Li Lingmei was also someone I played with when she was a child. She is obviously a daughter of a thousand nobles, and her food and clothing at home are not as good as a concubine's daughter. In addition, Li Linglan has a bad mind. I want you to promote your own reputation, if you don't give her a bad look, she really thinks she is very capable."
Yun Xi was moved in her heart, and smiled, "Thank you so much."
Lu Yiran sighed, "If you really want to thank me, why don't you tell me when will your beauty salon open?"
Yun Xi smiled and said, "April [-]th."
It happened to be her birthday that day, so it was a small celebration.
Lu Yiran nodded and said, "When the time comes, I must go over and support it."
The two were chatting and laughing, Yaochi had already led them to the garden.
All kinds of orchids are planted in the garden. Although they are not rare species, it can be seen that they have been carefully cared for.There are many varieties, but they don't look messy, and they look very comfortable.
There are three characters written on the plaque at the entrance of this garden - Yilan Garden, which belongs to Su Wan at a glance.
Five girls have already come to the garden, among them Tao Huanhuan has arrived early, eating pastries over there.Su Wan was wearing a light purple dress, with picturesque eyebrows, gentle and pleasant.
Seeing Yun Xi's arrival, the smile on her face became more sincere, "Yun Xi, Princess Roujia, you are here."
Yun Xi greeted her with a smile, "I couldn't think of any other gift, so I simply brought a pot of orchids that I usually tend."
Su Wan's eyes lit up, and she said, "That must be a rare good thing."
Lu Yiran sat down directly, picked up a piece of snack, ate it slowly, and asked in surprise, "This snack is also made of orchids?"
Su Wan nodded with a smile, "I have just figured out some fresh dim sum these few days, please don't dislike them."
Tao Huanhuan shook his head, "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it! I didn't expect orchids to be delicious when made into cakes."
Lu Yiran said: "I am looking forward to the legendary orchid tea."
Li Linglan also came at this time, and she calmed down now, and greeted everyone with a smile.Yun Xi found that everyone really didn't want to see the Li family very much. Although they all responded, their attitudes were quite cold, except for the two people who were already on good terms with Li Linglan.
Because of the presence of those two friends of hers, Li Linglan's mood improved a lot because of their unobtrusive pursuit.
Everyone sat in twos and threes, eating orchid snacks with friends who were familiar with each other in the faint fragrance of orchids.
Su Wan also started to make orchid tea.There was a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, and every movement of making tea was as graceful as flowing clouds and flowing water, with some indescribable rhythm, as beautiful as poetry and picturesque.
Yun Xi enjoyed this pleasing scene, and even relaxed her movements a lot, for fear of disturbing the beautiful scenery in front of her.There were many people who did the same thing as her, and even Tao Huanhuan stopped eating snacks, and her breathing became a little lighter.
The fragrance of tea curls up, and there is a hint of orchid fragrance in this tea fragrance, which is refreshing.There is an extra touch of orchid fragrance in the tea fragrance, but it does not appear messy, but complements each other perfectly, blending together perfectly.
Just smelling the aroma, I guessed that it must be a unique good tea, which brought everyone's sense of expectation to the highest.
Su Wan poured the brewed tea into each of the azure teacups, and then, holding the tray in her hands, she walked over with a smile on her face, her lotus steps lightly moving, her figure graceful and leisurely, "I haven't brewed this tea for a long time, The craftsmanship is a little rusty, if the bubble is not good, please forgive me."
Tao Huanhuan often walked around with Su Wan on weekdays, and he seemed to be close and natural when talking, "If the bath is not good, then I will punish you to pick some orchids for us!"
Su Wan sighed, "Every time you come over, my orchids in Yilan Garden will suffer."
Yun Xi smiled and said, "Then why not punish Huanhuan to write a eulogy for these poor orchids who were poisoned by her."
Tao Huanhuan immediately put on a bitter face, "Farewell, I don't know anything about these poems and words, why not punish me for picking orchids."
Tao Huanhuan is lively and broad-minded. She doesn't get angry when she is teased, and she can take jokes very well.So everyone teased her one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became cheerful.
Yun Xi took one of the cups of tea, the tea was crystal clear without any impurities.She took a sip lightly, and not only tasted the fragrance of tea, but also the faint fragrance of orchids, leaving a fragrance on her lips and teeth.
Really good tea!And when paired with the snacks on the same table, the taste is even more indescribably wonderful and harmonious.
Even Lu Yiran, who has always been picky, couldn't find anything bad. After drinking a cup of tea, all the twenty girls Su Wan had invited had arrived.Yun Xi was a little surprised to see that Su Hongxing didn't come out.She thought that with that person's scheming, she would definitely not let go of this opportunity to make friends with other people.
It is estimated that Su Wan also guarded against the opponent.
Yun Xi suppressed these thoughts, and chatted with other people with a smile.
It can be said that Li Linglan was not a friendly visitor today, and she was very angry when she first entered the door, so after drinking tea and putting down the cup, she was the first to light the flames of war. She smiled slightly: "Miss Su's ability to raise orchids , everyone is clear about it, and they don’t know what kind of treasures will be presented today, so as to open our eyes.”
She paused, and said: "I also brought my pot of Song Jinxuanmei today. On such a good day, I can enjoy it with everyone."
As soon as she finished speaking, her maid, Caiyun, had already stepped forward and moved the orchid she brought over.
Li Linglan's orchids were also placed in the cover. When the cover was removed, the pot of Song Jinxuanmei appeared in front of everyone.Tight and round sepals, graceful leaf posture, just like a maiden.
In all fairness, Yun Xi also has to admit that this pot of orchids is indeed well grown, and the title of Oiran is well deserved.
Everyone couldn't help looking at Su Wan. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Linglan took out this pot of orchids that she had carefully treasured in order to kick the hall.
Some people who are close friends with Su Wan couldn't help showing worried eyes - if Su Wan lost to Li Linglan today, she might be trampled to the ground.
Su Wan still had a gentle smile on her face, and her tone was full of sincere admiration, "It really is a rare flower."
She ordered Yaochi to wait for a few maidservants, "Take out my potted flowers too."
Yaochi blesses the body, and leads a few servant girls to leave gracefully.After a while, everyone held a pot of orchids in their hands.
The two maidservants carefully held orchids with golden petals in their hands.
Lu Yiran couldn't help exclaiming, "This is Tian Yihe!" A few years ago, she also saw Tian Yihe cultivated by Su Wan at that time, and she couldn't help being fascinated.Later, when I found out that the potted flower was broken, I was very sorry.
Everyone thought that Su Wan's cultivation of Tian Yihe was just a fluke, but who would have expected that today there would be such a fate, and they would be able to appreciate the rumored Tian Yihe again.
Everyone couldn't help cheering up, and they didn't even dare to blink, for fear that in the blink of an eye, the two pots of Tianyihe would disappear from their eyes.
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Wan in surprise.She only gave Su Wan one pot before, but she didn't expect that Su Wan would raise another pot of Tian Yi He in less than a year.
After all, she raised it by herself, even though the two pots are very similar, Yun Xi recognized at a glance that the pot on the left is the Tian Yi He that she gave to Su Wan.
The two servant girls put two pots of Tian Yi He on the table, and several other pots beside them.The orchids in the other pots are also rare orchid treasures, but they are still overshadowed by the two pots of Tian Yihe.
The golden color of pure heart, this is the orchid that many people dream of. Some people even think that Tianyihe is just a legend. It was not until Su Wan was bred in the past that people began to believe that the legend is real.
The pot of Tianyi lotus cultivated by Su Wan is comparable to Yun Xi's pot, each has its own beauty, and when placed together, the lethality is not simply one plus one.
Everyone looked at these two pots of Tianyihe, and then Li Linglan's Song Jinxuanmei, and there was only one thought in their hearts: that is, they are being compared.
Song Jinxuanmei is indeed the number one orchid, but the premise is that there is no Tianyihe.
Li Linglan's face was livid, she looked at the two pots of Tianyi He in disbelief, and murmured: "How, how is it possible..." Didn't it mean that Su Wan was exhausted?Didn't it mean that it was just a fluke that she made Tian Yihe earlier?Why are there new ones?
Even a few of her friends subconsciously took a step back to keep a distance from her. Everyone knew in their hearts: Li Linglan was completely defeated in the competition, and the loss was not ordinary.Who made her step on people too high-profile before, but now it's all right, her face is swollen from the beating.
Lu Yiran smiled and said to Su Wan: "The orchid fairy really deserves its reputation. I thought you were a fluke before, but now it seems that you deserve it. It's not like some people can get it for a small amount of money. of."
"Fake is fake, no matter how much you jump around, it's still fake."
Anyone could tell that Lu Yiran was mocking Li Linglan's inappropriate status.
Li Linglan's expression was distorted, but she couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.Her body swayed, and if it wasn't for her servant girl who supported her, she might have fallen to the ground.She was full of fear: If this incident gets out, what will happen to her reputation?
Su Wan shook her head, "In front of Yun Xi, I can't bear this reputation." She pointed to the pot of orchids on the left, and said, "Actually, this pot of orchids was given to me by Yun Xi last summer. Mine. Later, I bred another orchid based on the orchid seedling."
Yun Xi smiled and said: "This is also very powerful. Even if there are seedlings, it is not so difficult to raise such a good Tianyihe." She has supernatural powers and only has three pots at hand.The emotion conveyed from the orchid on the table told her that they all liked Su Wan very much.
Orchids can also feel whether they are taken care of carefully.
Su Wan was able to raise such a pot without supernatural powers. Yun Xi really admired her.
Everyone was shocked and looked at Yun Xi in unison.It turns out that the real master is here!Everyone didn't find out.
Tao Huanhuan smiled brightly, "Anyway, you two are very powerful, I am clumsy, even if I send flowers to raise, I will be raised to death. Our capital has also counted two Lanxians."
As for Li Linglan's previously hyped reputation, it was reduced to a joke at this moment.Those few friends of hers exchanged a look with each other, but they also praised Yun Xi and Su Wan, and they would follow the wind to the end.
Li Linglan recalled the words she said when she stepped on Yunxi earlier, and a mouthful of blood almost spewed out of her throat.The words she had said were all turned into slaps, hitting her face one after another.She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes full of unwillingness.
Seeing her ferocious expression, Yun Xi felt relieved, she lightly parted her red lips, "Speaking of which, the orchid I gave Su Wan today is also Song Jinxuanmei."
Su Wan knew the elegant meaning after hearing the stringed songs, "Then we will be lucky."
She nodded towards Yao Chi, and Yao Chi brought the pot of orchids that Yun Xi sent again.Yao Chi is also narrow, deliberately placed Yun Xi's orchid next to Li Linglan's pot, which immediately formed a sharp contrast.
Yunxi's pot not only has more beautiful leaves, but is also natural, and the flowers are still plain, which directly makes Li Linglan's pot look like scum.
Many people had also heard the rumors released by the Li family before. When they saw the face-slapping scene, they felt a little funny and couldn't help but chuckled.
Li Linglan stared at Yun Xi's pot of Song Jinxuanmei, and felt a sudden dizziness, a strong dizziness swept over like a tide, her chest seemed to be pressed by a big stone, making her breathless.
Tao Huanhuan's voice was crisp and clear, "Sister Yunxi, you have so many good orchids in your hands, why don't you participate? Otherwise, you must be the leader."
Yun Xi wrote lightly: "It was just raised casually, and I didn't think I was so good, so I put it at home."
Can other people raise Tianyihe and Suxin Song Jinxuanmei with just a twitch of their mouths and casual raising?
Su Wan smiled faintly, "Perhaps it is because of your calm temperament that you can grow so many good orchids. Besides, for people like us, growing flowers is just to cultivate their sentiments. How can we be lucky enough to grow a good pot of orchids?" , let the whole world know.”
The words hidden in the cotton were obviously aimed at Li Linglan.Although Su Wan has a good temper, she is not the kind of person who can be rubbed round and flattened by others.
Li Linglan felt that the eyes of everyone looking at her were full of irony and jokes, and after hearing Su Wan's accusation against Sang Huai, her eyes darkened and she fainted.Her two maids supported her anxiously.
A young girl in an apricot yellow dress spoke with disdain, "Is this dizzy? The psychological endurance is really poor. She is really a concubine, and she is really petty."
Li Linglan's maids showed a look of humiliation on their faces. They were considered sensible, knowing their identities, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they could only suppress them.
Yun Xi said lightly: "It's probably because the weather is about to turn hot, so she's not quite used to it."
Su Wan thought for a while and said, "It's better to send Miss Li to the Hongxing Yard to rest for a while."
Both of them are big-hearted concubine daughters, so they are a good match.
Li Linglan's maid, Caiyun, managed to force a smile, "No need, my young lady accepts the bed, and I'll just send her back." It's hard to stay and be humiliated by these people.
The two servant girls hurriedly helped Li Linglan to leave. Yun Xi pointed to the orchid that Li Linglan had brought, and said, "Don't forget to take this orchid back. It can sell for [-] at least."
She had heard that Li Linglan had put 1 taels of silver on her body, and it seemed that the money was going to be wasted.
A girl from the uncle's family said: "No, I think starting from tomorrow, I'm afraid it will only sell for 1 taels."
When the maid Caiyun heard this, she staggered and let go of her hands. Li Linglan fell directly to the ground, her face hit the ground, and her nose directly hit the ground.
Just seeing this scene, Yun Xi felt her nose hurt.Ouch, it won't collapse, will it?
Under such force, Li Linglan, who had been dizzy before, faintly woke up and turned back.She raised her face, and there were still a few grains of gravel stuck to her face.She felt her nose hurt terribly, and when her nasal cavity became hot, a stream of heat gushed out.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Linglan's nosebleeds flowed down like this, and she was very embarrassed.That pure and soft face no longer had the original beauty.
Caiyun, who served her since she was a child, knows her temperament best, and she is panicked: she has caused such a disaster, and she doesn't know how the young lady will punish her in the future.
Li Linglan touched her nose, her hands were covered with sticky nosebleeds, her eyes went dark, and she fainted for the second time.
Caiyun caught her in time this time, and the two servant girls didn't dare to be careless this time, and hurriedly helped her out.
Seeing this ridiculous scene, Yun Xi and the others shook their heads amusedly.
Li Linglan's departure also improved the atmosphere a lot.Everyone admired these pots of rare and precious orchids, commented beside them, drank orchid grass, and ate orchid snacks. It seemed that the whole person seemed to be transformed into a fairy, which was extremely elegant.
After the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, everyone bid farewell to Su Wan.
Today, they can be regarded as watching a good show, and when they go back, they must publicize it well.
As for Yun Xi, Su Wan stayed behind to talk.
Su Wan took her directly to her room.
This is the first time Yun Xi came to her room. At first glance, she thought it was a study room. Several shelves were filled with various books.
Su Wan asked her to sit down, Yun Xi smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I made a lot of money this time."
Su Wan was startled, and soon understood what Yun Xi meant, she pursed her lips and smiled, "We are happy together."
Yun Xi blinked and said, "But I'm a little surprised that Hong Xing didn't come out today."
Su Wan said meaningfully: "She caught the wind and cold a few days ago, so naturally she can't go out to meet guests, otherwise it would be bad if she spread the wind and cold to the guests."
Yun Xi nodded and let go of this topic.I'm afraid that this wind and cold is also caused by Su Wan.
Su Wan took the initiative to mention, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Li Linglan, otherwise I wouldn't be able to earn back the dowry money in one go."
Yun Xi couldn't help laughing, but was a little puzzled, "Your mother's dowry should be in your hands, right?" Her mother's dowry alone is enough.
The smile on Su Wan's face diminished a bit, "My mother's dowry was in my father's hands before. Although I took it back later, the land and floor shop above it has not been reduced, but some cash is gone."
"Hongxing got married earlier than me. My father said her dowry was too thin and unattractive, so he used the money on the account to buy her dowry."
Yun Xi felt that Su Wan was really unlucky for eight lifetimes to meet such an extremely eccentric father.
Su Wan saw that Yun Xi was arguing for her, and the smile on her face became a little more grateful, "My grandfather was very angry when he found out, but he forced my father to sell himself. He said that he didn't do it for the maid. The truth of the prostitute's dismissal, forced him to spend twice the amount of money."
Yun Xi chuckled, suspecting in her heart that Mr. Su probably knew Hong Xing's true identity, so he deliberately made a face for Su Wan.It's also fortunate that Su Wan has a grandfather who loves her.
Su Wan said: "I really like the orchid you sent, and it's too precious. I don't have any good things here, so I can only give you a few copybooks, calligraphy and paintings."
After that, she took out a package that had been prepared in advance and handed it to Yun Xi.
He also ordered Yao Chi to pack two packs of orchid tea for Yun Xi to take back.Seeing that Yun Xi drank it several times before, she guessed that she probably liked the taste of this orchid tea.
Yun Xi took the gift and thanked her again before saying goodbye to her.
At the same time, what happened in Su Wan's flower viewing banquet spread in the capital.
