Liu Yongan didn't know if Qiao Chaoyang knew about Liu's going to his house to ask for the secret recipe, but he remembered that since that incident, Qiao Chaoyang hadn't been to his house for several years.

Now Qiao Chaoyang offered to go with him, which surprised him.

"Okay." Liu Yong'an paused and said.

Qiao Chaoyang laughed, "Then I will come to the academy to look for you at that time, my house is only one street away from the academy, why don't you come to my house to play for a day when you are resting?" ”

Liu Yongan said: "When I have time, I will visit my aunt and cousin." ”

Qiao Chaoyang: "Then the foolish brother will wait for Jiayin, it's best to be together early, I may not be at home if it's too late." ”

Both of them were polite, but Liu Yongan didn't go to Qiao's mansion to visit Liu, and as for Qiao Chaoyang, he didn't insist anymore.

It wasn't until Qiao Chaoyang was gone for a few days that someone asked Liu Yongan, "The one who talked to you that day was Qiao Jieyuan, the son of Qiao's prefect's family?"

Liu Yongan nodded lightly.

"It's really extraordinary, no wonder many senior brothers say that even on the street, some people throw fruits and flowers at him." Someone said with envy.

Liu Yongan said: Those girls really have a problem with their eyes, they only know that they like little white faces.

Before Liu Yongan calmed down, there was another big event in Haozhou Mansion, in February of the following year, Qiao Xie Yuan won the first place when he entered the Beijing examination, and was appointed by the emperor as a tanhua during the palace examination.

If Qiao Tanhuadian did not play well in the test, in fact, in the middle of the top ten, this one is the most handsome, while the others are either too old or not "good-looking" enough.

After the Jinshi and the first in this dynasty, there is a grand celebration. One of the activities is to hold a flower exploration in the apricot garden, and the youngest and most handsome person in the same list of jinshi is selected in advance as a flower tan. Visit the famous garden, pick flowers along the way, and present the flowers to the champion.

Therefore, the exploration of flowers in this past generation not only requires excellent knowledge, but also has high standards for appearance.

Qiao Tanhua has not returned to Haozhou, and the good news has returned.

Especially as the Luming Academy he once studied, it has become a sensation.

"Look, that's Tanhualang's cousin, who won the little three yuan last year." Someone said kindly.

"It's not bad to look at, but I still think it's better to be a brother Qiao who has been in Tanhua, and those who have read his articles have praised him for his "gorgeous writing, far-reaching reality, extreme clever words, and thorough arguments, in fact, it is rare to meet in a hundred years."

Qiao Tanhua, a once-in-a-century genius, returned to Haozhou on the fourth day of the fifth month. He came to the academy that night and asked Liu Yongan, "Does my cousin want to go home to celebrate my sister's birthday?" ”

Despite some reluctance, Liu Yongan still took Qiao Chaoyang home on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

The gift that Qiao Chaoyang brought to Wang Jing this time was a brightly colored parrot, and as soon as she entered the door, she was surrounded by a group of girls.

"Hello sister, Wishing you prosperity." The parrot spoke.

The voice was a little hoarse, not very good, but it was enough to make a group of girls look around, and the boy with the birdcage was so outstanding.

Qiao Chaoyang wore a white kudzu cloth robe today, wore a piece of fine mutton fat jade around his waist, his hair was tied up with a hosta, his posture was dignified, and his eyebrows were picturesque; Standing like a Zhilan jade tree, smiling like the moon in his arms; Graceful and talented.

Just standing there captures the heart of a young girl; What's more, when he laughed, those narrow Danfeng eyes were like hooks, and all the girls in the room were hooked, and they always took their eyes to look at him when they had nothing to do.

When Wang Jing came out and saw this scene, she couldn't help but smile. In fact, she also understood that the purpose of the little girls coming to her birthday was just to take a look at this newly baked Tanhualang.

"Sister, this is my birthday gift to you." Liu Yongan saw Wang Jing and handed over a peach wood hairpin.

Wang Jing stretched out her hand to take it, took a closer look, and said with a smile: "You carved it yourself?" ”

Liu Yongan nodded lightly.

Wang Jing thanked him and handed the hairpin to the cuckoo.

This is the girl that Zhang bought for her the year before last, two years older than her, with smart hands and feet, a flexible head, and has always been the most eye-catching, without waiting for Wang Jing's instructions, she has already put away her things, served Qiao Chaoyang and Liu Yongan a cup of tea each, and reached out to pick up the birdcage.

Qiao Chaoyang didn't hand her the birdcage, but walked quickly to Wang Jing, "Here, happy birthday." ”

The parrot spoke appropriately, "Hello sister." ”

A group of girls all looked at Wang Jing with envy.

"Could it be that this parrot also recognizes people?" Hongying of the second uncle's family said with a smile.

"It's a coincidence." Wang Jing smiled and took the birdcage.

She still has a soft nest in her hands, and her voice is still the same as before, soft and waxy, just as the first time he went to her with a fighting for help, she said to him, "Humble gentleman, gentle as jade."

Her voice at that time was more brittle, and her whole body was full of flesh, oily and slippery, which made people want to pinch it when they saw it.

But now, all those baby fats have disappeared without a trace, looking at her beautiful eyebrows, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, willow waist and slender arms, and her aura is compelling. You can imagine how overwhelming the country will be when you become an adult.

Fortunately, her eyes have not changed at all, they are still like agate soaked in water, exquisite, pure and beautiful.

His memory of her was still at the stage when she was a fat dumpling, and now when he saw a completely strange girl, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Qiao Tanhua came to the house, and Sister Jing was reluctant to introduce it to everyone." A girl in a big red shirt sprinkled with flowers and smoke said.

That's true...... Frivolous and rude.

The girl who spoke was fifteen years old and was the daughter of Daru Huachi in this province. Since the establishment of this dynasty, governments at all levels have set up Daru Huachi, who is the highest local governor, but this official position has always been in charge of officials and not the people. Governor Wu has been transferred, and the newly taken over Governor Huang is quite close to his boss, and when he learned that the boss's girl admired Tanhualang, he couldn't help but say that he asked his daughter Huang Shuyuan to bring her over.

Wang Jing said: "Qiao Tanhua looks like Pan An, he is better than Zijian, and when he goes out, he throws fruit and car, and there are thousands of empty alleys, I thought that at least in Haozhou Mansion, no girl would not recognize him." The girl has always been the most hearty and generous, so she shouldn't recognize him, right? ”

was praised by her like this, but it became her fault?

The girl was about to speak again, but Liu Yongan had already made a straight face, "The girl is a guest when she comes to the house, and Qiao Tanhua is also a guest, if you want to recognize him, you can introduce yourself, if every girl wants my sister to introduce Qiao Tanhua, won't she be tired to death?" ”

That girl was not as good at words as the Han people, her face was swollen and red, her chin was raised, and she pulled the corners of her mouth at Qiao Chaoyang, "Then I will introduce myself, my name is Hua Jin, and I have admired the name of my son for a long time, it is really better to see than to hear." As she spoke, even the roots of her ears turned red.

It is estimated that this girl fell in love with Qiao Chaoyang at first sight.

Wang Jing said secretly: This cousin is too good at attracting peach blossoms.
