Ning Xia Qing and Liu Yiru fell silent at the same time, and at this moment, someone suddenly came to report: "Master, the carriage with tourmaline carvings on the top of the beam has arrived." ”

"What......" Liu Yiru stood up suddenly, with an extremely surprised expression on his face.

Ning Xia Qing glanced at Liu Yiru and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" What happened to that carriage? ”

Liu Yiru glanced at Ning Ningqing and said in an unbelievable tone: "Master, his old man actually appeared...... After speaking, he hurriedly walked out to greet him.

Ning Xia Qing was also stunned, he had heard Liu Yiru say before, since he should write Liu Xiangfan's battle letter, Liu Yiru thought about it, and finally decided to send a letter to Lin Hanhai to inform him of the news that he was going to compete with Liu Xiangfan. After all, although Liu Yiru and Liu Xiangfan have broken up, they are still disciples of Lin Hanhai, and it is not good not to report to the master for such a major matter.

The last time Liu Yiru sent a letter to Lin Hanhai, it was Liu Yiru who reported to Lin Hanhai about setting up his own door in Xiangfan. Lin Hanhai hasn't seen anyone for many years, and even the letter is rarely opened, Liu Yiru knows this rule, so he easily doesn't send a letter to Lin Hanhai, so as not to disturb Lin Hanhai's cultivation.

Liu Yiru sent a letter to Lin Hanhai this time, just because the matter was big, so it was not good not to report to Lin Hanhai. If he could get a reply from Lin Hanhai, Liu Yiru would have been flattered, but he didn't expect that Lin Hanhai would actually go out of the mountain!

Ning Xia Qing followed Liu Yiru out, stood at a distance, and saw Liu Yiru, who had always been arrogant, bowing his head and respectfully standing in front of the carriage with tourmaline carvings on the top of the beam, waiting for an old man to get off.

Ning Xia Qing remembered that Lin Hanhai was a famous florist from the court, and he was also recognized as the world's leading florist, and he was also a distant relative of the current Queen Mother. Ning Xia Qing didn't expect that he would be able to meet Lin Hanhai here today!

And Lin Hanhai's clothes are unexpectedly plain. Dressed in a cheesecloth blue-bottomed gossip shirt and wearing a purple scarf, there is no luxury decoration at all. Since Lin Hanhai got older and sent all his disciples out to stand on his own, everyone only heard that Lin Hanhai no longer paid attention to the world, and took alchemy as fun all day long.

Liu Yiru didn't dare to breathe and lead the way in front of Lin Hanhai, and Ning Xia Qing didn't dare to step forward at all, only looking at Lin Hanhai from a distance.

Lin Hanhai's body has a charm that only people who have been in the palace for most of their lives. Ning Xia Qing looked at Lin Hanhai from a distance, this feeling was very similar to when he saw Concubine Xiao in the Gu Mansion that day, the other party didn't say anything, but the more he was silent, the more people would feel that he was different, and every line could make people notice that this person was unusual.

A primary school apprentice beside Liu Yiru trotted in front of Ning Ningqing, and said timidly: "Ning Dangjia, my master asked me to inform you, saying that it was just decided, and the last competition of this flower party will be cut by the old man." ”

Ningxia Qingyi was stunned, and the last game was ...... According to the rules of the floral industry, the last game should be a test of the realism of the raw materials, why did Lin Hanhai cut this one?

Cuiyu walked over, stood behind Ning Xia Qing and whispered: "Girl, just now Shopkeeper Dong came to you, saying that Master Tan and Mrs. Tan are chatting with those noble guests, and Shopkeeper Dong told you to hurry over." ”

"Tan Ye and Xue Qianqian are here?" Ning Xia Qing paused slightly and said, "Okay, let's go to the flower hall." ”

Ning Xia Qing took Cuiyu to the flower hall where the guests were entertained, and before she walked in, she met Ah Zheng who happened to come out of it, and Ah Zheng frowned when she saw her: "I thought you had arrived and were looking for you." ”

"What's wrong?" She asked Ah Zheng.

Ah Zheng replied: "Liu Xiangfan has arrived. ”

Ning Ningqing's heart chuckled, and Ah Zheng continued: "The smell I smelled yesterday has increased unabated. She has now gone to the woman's side, and it is inconvenient for me to go there, so you can go and see for yourself. ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded, and then asked Ah Zheng to find Dong Zizhen. After talking to Ah Zheng, Ning Xia Qing took Cuiyu to the female guest, but bumped into a lot of oncoming eyes, but he was not looking at her, almost all of them were following Ah Zheng who had just spoken to her.

She had said before that she would cut a few new clothes for Ah Zheng, although Ah Zheng refused, she still personally showed Ah Zheng a few clothes, including the ink brocade clothes she specially asked Ah Zheng to wear today. Although this dress is not luxurious, it is not handsome, but it is worn on Ah Zheng's body, and Ah Zheng's temples are like a knife, and his eyebrows are like ink paintings.

Ah Zheng just wanted to find her, so he walked around the neighborhood a little, and attracted many people on the female guest's side to notice him, he didn't care much about it, Ning Xia Qing just saw that the corner of the brocade had been slightly scratched and caused by the raw edge, and it was estimated that he didn't notice it at all.

At this moment, a few people under Liu Yiru came to report something, and the female guests suddenly made a lot of movement here, and after sitting for a long time, the old lady Gu and the others got up one after another, and looked outside the side hall, only to see Xiao Jingyuan, Gu Xuesong and others all surrounding Lin Hanhai, saying something respectfully.

Don't say that Ningxia is green, most of the guests in this room are seeing Lin Hanhai's true face for the first time, and everyone is quite respectful.

Ningxia Qing and Mrs. Gu glanced at each other from afar, Ningxia Qing curtsied, Mrs. Gu smiled, turned her head and ordered the maid beside her, and asked the maid to call Ningxia Qing to sit down beside her, Ningxia Qing politely excused herself, and then obediently followed Mrs. Gu to sit in the upper position.

Ning Ningqing saw that on the opposite side of the male guest, Gu Xuesong invited Ah Zheng to his side, so Ah Zheng also sat in the top position. Ning Xia Qing had long noticed that Gu Xuesong did not value Ah Zheng like ordinary people, as for Dong Zizhen beside Gu Xuesong, Ning Xia Qing didn't have to think about it at all, he knew that Dong Zizhen must be cheeky and rubbed the seat.

Ningxia Qing sat next to Mrs. Gu, and in the midst of the crowd of respects, Mrs. Gu asked Ningxia Qing in a low voice: "How is your grandmother?" Are you in good spirits? Ever since your father died, I've been worried about her, but I've always had a back sickness and can't go out, so I haven't seen her. She rarely goes out of the house herself, and I never know how she's doing. ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled and whispered: "My grandmother is fine." She often told me that when the weather is good, she will go to Gufu to see you. ”

"She's in good health." Old Madam Gu smiled in a low voice and said, "I heard that the reason why there is this flower party today is thanks to you." ”

Ning Xia Qing hurriedly lowered his head and said humbly: "I'm just doing some modest efforts, in the final analysis, in fact, it is Liu Yiru Master Liu's hard work." ”

And all the VIPs also signaled to the maids or servants behind them, and the maids and servants began to run to the platform set up by Wansheng to take flowers for their masters. is different from Dong Zizhen's morning glory, these people took peonies after registering their names, and at least they also took a hibiscus.

The gambling game was in full swing, and Lin Hanhai had already sat at the top, Liu Yiru and Liu Xiangfan stood behind Lin Hanhai on both sides, serving respectfully, not daring to be sloppy.

The two blood beech flower cases were neatly placed up, facing Lin Hanhai's position. Ning Xia Qing remembered that because this was a confrontation, it was supposed to be a face-to-face display of the flower case, but it should be because of Lin Hanhai's arrival, the flower case was placed facing Lin Hanhai, as if it was no longer a confrontation, but just a review of the apprentice's skills by the master.

At this time, Lin Jingguo stood up and said a few words, thank you for your support today, and after Lin Jingguo finished speaking, the fight officially began.

Liu Yiru and Liu Xiangfan walked to the two blood beech flower cases and sat down. According to the rules, before the start of the fight and after the end, the opposing sides should toast each other with a glass of wine that has just been warmed to show that they win or lose. Two maids with elegant trays stepped forward and handed the freshly warmed wine to Liu Yiru and Liu Xiangfan.

Liu Xiangfan took the first step to pick up the wine glass, and gestured to Liu Yiru from afar, Liu Yiru immediately reached out to reach for his cup, at this moment, the maid with the tray suddenly crooked, the whole person stood unsteadily, the cup was poured like this, and the hot sake that had just been warmed was poured on Liu Yiru's hand!

Liu Yi screamed in pain, and his hands turned red when he was scalded, and he blistered immediately after being scalded!

There was a moment of silence in the flower hall, and the faces of the people who had just bought peonies and pressed on Liu Yiru's side suddenly changed. And those who bet on Liu Xiangfan were also stunned, and then immediately glanced at the entourage behind him, intending to raise immediately.

Ning Ningqing's face changed, and he immediately turned his head to signal Cuiyu and commanded a few words.

Liu Xiangfan suddenly sneered a few times, and said leisurely: "Why is my cousin so careless? I'm afraid my hands are burned, right? The most important thing for a floral craftsman is the hand, which requires ten fingers to be dexterous and powerful, in order not to lose the charm of floral art, but also to not lose the lightness of floral art. My cousin has injured her hand now, how can this be compared? ”

Liu Xiangfan didn't wait for Liu Yiru to speak, he drank the sake in his hand and smiled: "My cousin's hand is injured, I'm afraid I can't compete." But since we have invited a lot of guests to come over today, and even Master and his old man have shown up, we can't just wait for my cousin's finger to recover, so I can't let Master and the guests come back another day......

Liu Xiangfan said leisurely: "...... If my cousin still wants to compete with me, I won't be able to win. Why don't you send a disciple to fight on my behalf? ”
