Xu Zhiqing is an extremely smart woman, after hearing these words, she had an epiphany in her heart, and hurriedly said to Lin San: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and thank you." ”

"Thank you, thank you." Lin Wanrong said strangely, he has no concept of these things, this kind of thing of giving a garden in one sentence is a plot on TV, and it has nothing to do with him Lin someone, he has no awareness of this at all.

Xu Zhiqing is angry and funny, when this person is smart, people want to bite him, and when he is stupid, he can't wait to go up and kick him, in a word, if he doesn't fight, he won't have a long memory.

Of course, Su Mubai would not make it clear that the appreciation of Lin San in the pavilion was reasonable, and this was not something he could interfere with.

The old man seemed to like Lin Wanrong who pretended to be smart like Lin Wanrong, and he didn't explain it, so he laughed a few times, changed the topic, and said: "Xu Yatou, Su Mubai, and Lin San who is sitting, today I said that I want to study you, so naturally I can't talk about it." It's still the same sentence, only those who answer well can be given a seat. ”

Su Mubai is the champion of the dynasty, and the emperor personally proposed it, so he was naturally not afraid of his test, so he bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Please give the emperor a question." ”

The old man in the pavilion pondered for a long time and said with a smile: "Today is the flower in this peony garden, then you can say, among the flowers and plants in this garden, what flower is the best among the flowers?" ”

Oiran?! Lin Wanrong suddenly remembered the past with Xian'er by the Qinhuai River in the past, and couldn't help but smile on her face, Na'an Fox didn't know where to hide Xian'er, and she hadn't seen her in the past few days in the capital.

After hearing this question, Su Mubai pondered for a long time before saying: "In Mubai's opinion, the king of flowers is none other than this peony's best 'drunken face'." This drunken face is red, and the flowers are delicate. The big opening and closing, is the wind of the countryman, its color is pure, the meaning is far-reaching, symbolizing my Dahua is prosperous, the country is ten thousand years, is the blessing of heaven. As the saying goes, the clear waves of the clear water. Nourish the fertile soil of the soil, condense the essence of the mountain, and collect the soft intestines of the water show. Ang Ran has come from ancient times, and Yan Yanran has made up from the years. Leaping with a thousand flowers to produce new, beautiful and beautiful to compete for a hundred flowers. Yang Hu Luo Shen to accompany, bow down the branches and be dignified. ”

Lin Wanrong heard the black lines on her forehead rise up at all times, and said to Xiao Yuruo: "Miss, what is this champion saying, why can't I understand?!" Alas, it seems that I am lagging behind again, can you translate that? ”

The eldest lady is knowledgeable and talented, and said with a smile: "This Su Zhuangyuan really deserves his reputation, he quoted "Peony Flower Divine Fu", saying that this 'drunk face' has a noble character and an extraordinary origin. In such a short period of time, the scriptures can be cited. After all the money, this champion fell on his head, and he deserved it. ”

It turned out to be writing an argumentative essay, Lin Wanrong was furious in her heart, damn, what the hell, read a few words that Lao Tzu doesn't understand and fool around, and you can be the champion? I'll go up and write a few calculus equations, and make sure none of you know each other, so wouldn't I be able to be the champion and his father?

After listening to Su Mubai's words, everyone nodded secretly, Su Zhuangyuan's knowledge really deserved his reputation - only Lin San was a big exception. If he knew that this garden already belonged to him, and listened to Su Mubai's few ancient classics, I am afraid that he would have taken him out with a broom.

The old man in the pavilion smiled and said, "Very good, Su Mubai." Your talent is indeed extraordinary, and it is not wrong to take you as the champion. ”

Su Mubai hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked him, with a look of humility on his face, and when the entourage moved the brocade stool, he carefully put the small half of the ** up, and sat down, far less solid than Lin San sitting on the ground. Lin Wanrong looked secretly funny, this champion should be trembling, it's really not interesting, and it's not as happy as my Lin San.

"Girl Xu, it's your turn." The old man glanced at Xu Zhiqing and nodded slightly.

Xu Zhiqing gave a light salute, walked slowly in the forest for a few steps, and inspected for a long time before she said lightly: "The best of these flowers is really unique." ”

Everyone in the garden was stunned, this garden full of delicate peonies, in the eyes of Miss Xu, there was nothing in the eyes? Her vision is too high.

Su Mubai frowned and said: "According to Miss's opinion, the peony in this garden is not worthy of the king of flowers, so what kind of flower can have this ability?" ”

Xu Zhiqing smiled slightly and didn't speak, only Lin San gave a thumbs up with a smile and said, "Gao Jian, Gao Jian, I know that Miss Xu likes this." ”

The old man in the pavilion was also puzzled, but he understood the ability of this Xu girl, Xu Zhiqing was a powerful woman who had fought with the Hu people on the battlefield, and it could be said that she did not let her eyebrows, and her words would never be so simple.

"Lin San, listen to what you mean, you seem to understand what Xu Yatou said?" The old man asked with interest.

Lin Wanrong smiled: "I guessed, I don't know if it's right or wrong." Anyway, I'm uneducated and uninformed, so it's okay to guess. ”

Xu Zhiqing smiled slightly, glanced at him and said, "You person, I don't care if you guess wrong." ”

The old man laughed loudly, and it seemed very pleasant to hear the voice: "You children always like to play dumb riddles, and if I were twenty years younger, I would be able to play with you." Lin San, you can tell me, what does Xu Yatou mean by four words. ”

Lin Wanrong grinned and said, "Miss, I'll play an anagram for you to guess, one hundred is one, guess a word." guessed correctly, and Miss Xu's dumb riddle was solved. ”

Xiao Yuruo thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I understand, there is no one, but it is a 'white' word." It turns out that Sister Xu likes this white peony. The whitest and most colorful in this garden is the 'trembling wind Jiao' from Luoyang, and my sister means that this 'trembling wind Jiao' is the king of flowers, yes or no? ”

Xu Zhiqing nodded and smiled: "The younger sister of the Xiao family is really smart and clever. Xiao Yuruo smiled embarrassedly, and Lin Wanrong answered for her in her heart: "Where, where, it's our family Lin San who is smart." ”

Xu Zhiqing glanced at Lin San, and a hint of expectation flashed in her eyes, although this person was not serious, he always surprised people at key points. Fang just used a small anagram to go around in a circle, but this person can happily understand that it is indeed smart and witty, not simple! On the contrary, it was Su Mubai, the champion, who didn't understand the meaning, and was in a hurry to perform, so he was bored.

The old man nodded and said: "Xu Yatou really has some doorways, you chose this white peony as the king of flowers, but why?" ”

Xu Zhiqing sighed slightly: "The national color is drunk, and the sky is fragrant and the clothes are dyed at night." The four characters of this national color and heavenly fragrance show the delicate and gorgeous peonies in the world. Su Zhuangyuan loves 'drunk redness' because it has the color of great joy and is an auspicious omen for the country. This 'trembling wind and Jiao' is ice clear and jade, unstained, and is the noble posture of a real leader. This is true of ikebana, and so is the national road. Those who are above the human should learn this 'trembling wind and beauty', be innocent and pure, and do not stain their hearts with selfish desires, so as to be able to deal with things fairly, govern the country and rejuvenate the country, and only in this way can they be drunk everywhere, so that the sky will be auspicious, and I will be blessed with the people of Dahua. ”

Xu Zhiqing's words are from the flowers, and the people and the country, the implication is not profound, and it is a grade higher than the pure flower theory of Su Zhuangyuan. Lin Wanrong glanced at Xu Zhiqing, this girl, she is really a great talent, these words are quoted from the classics but they are plain and easy to understand, much more clever than Su Zhuangyuan, at least Lao Tzu, a little white, can understand, have ideals, ambition, not simple!

The old man in the pavilion sighed and said, "Xu girl, if you are not a daughter, your father's position will definitely be inherited by you." It's a pity that although Xu Wei has a son and a daughter, he is just more than brave and resourceful. Another wisdom is in the world, but it is a daughter, but it is a pity, a pity. ”

The old man used two pity in a row, and his emotion was overflowing. In this patriarchal era, there are very few people like Xu Zhiqing, let alone women, among men, and I can't find a few.

Lin Wanrong said secretly: "Miss, is this the so-called national policy question?" On the top of the Golden Palace, the selection of champions, is it just to ask these questions? ”

Xiao Yuruo smiled: "I haven't taken the top prize, how do I know?" However, the questions on the Golden Palace are all directly put forward by the emperor for questioning, like Sister Xu, who is from flowers and people to politics, not to say no, but it is never rare, with Sister Xu's knowledge, it is more than enough to be admitted to ten champions. ”

Lin Wanrong smiled slightly, although he didn't like this peony flower, and Xu Zhiqing's remarks were also of a great subjective fantasy nature, but she could think of it here, it was not simple, and she should pay tribute to her.

Everyone in the garden was silent for a while, and finally the old man spoke: "Come, give Miss Xu a seat, located to the left of Su Zhuangyuan." ”

Lin Wanrong didn't understand the sentence added later, and said to Xiao Yuruo: "Miss, why do you want Miss Xu to sit on Su Mubai's left?" ”

For this curious baby's idiotic question, the eldest lady really couldn't cry or laugh, and she was reluctant to fight, and she was reluctant to scold, and somehow she was confused, and was deceived by this stupid person.

"This is like a row of seats, it is based on the left and the left is respected-Lin San, I ask you a serious question, have you ever read a book?"

Lin Wanrong's old face was also red, he was despised by the eldest lady, he was really sweating to death, these ancient rules had long been out of business in his previous life, where could he remember.

Seeing his rare blush, the eldest lady smiled and said: "From tomorrow, I will supervise your reading, read Confucius and Mencius during the day, and read the Book of Poetry at night, and strive to let you come back in three years." ”

Read Confucius and Mencius during the day and the Book of Poetry at night? Damn, it's better to dream big during the day and make a little sperm at night. Lin Wanrong smiled: "Okay, okay, that eldest lady has to rape me day and night, you must rape me well, you can't rape once." The eldest lady's face turned red, and she glanced at him, and even the great dream of Sanyuan was strangled to death by him.

Xu Zhiqing did not shirk, and sat on the left side of Su Zhuangyuan according to the words, that Su Mubai had already been famous for Xu Zhiqing's talent and learning, and it was not too embarrassing to see that she had the upper hand. Anyway, Miss Xu's reputation is known to the world, and once she was defeated, it was also said in the past. It was the old man in the pavilion who glanced at Su Zhuangyuan, sighed slightly, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The blind old man standing behind him said softly: "Master, Young Master Su is inexperienced, even if he fails for a while, it will not be a big problem, and after training, he can be entrusted with reuse." ”

A strange light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said, "Xiao Weizi, then Lin San was recommended by you, why did you say good things about Su Mubai instead?" ”

Xiao Weizi's face remained unchanged and said: "Master, there is no obstacle to recommending anyone, as long as it is beneficial to my Dahua, it is to ask for the head of the minion, and the minion has nothing to say." ”

The old man's face flickered, and he said after a long time: "Xiao Weizi, I know your loyalty, your eyes were lost for me, if you hadn't saved me desperately in the past, I'm afraid I would have been out of this world a long time ago." That old incident is not even clear to Xu Wei, Li Tai and others. Only you know that you have worked hard all these years. ”

Xiao Weizi hurriedly knelt down and exclaimed, "The slave is panicked. The life of the slave is given by the master, and for the sake of the master, the slave is broken to pieces, and there is no complaint. ”

"Get up." The old man said lightly, his eyes looked into the distance, a trace of viciousness flashed on his face, and he said sharply: "That person is insidious and cunning, cutting off my blood, and cutting off my descendants. ”

The blind old man Xiao Weizi stood up and didn't dare to make a sound. The old man said: "My father made me swear that I would never touch him in my lifetime, but how did his old man know that I was so miserable by this beast that I couldn't even leave an heir." In the past 20 years, he has done nothing wrong in the DPRK and China. I can't bear it, and now it's finally time for reckoning. My father doesn't allow me to do it, so can't I use a dummy? ”

He slammed the table, exuding a cold murderous aura all over his body, and said angrily: "I want him to taste that taste too, and I will never let him go!" ”

The old man coughed sharply excitedly, Xiao Weizi hurriedly stepped forward to hand him the pills, after the old man swallowed warm water, the cough was reduced a lot, but a strange white appeared on his face, closed his eyes and sighed in contemplation: "Since I ascended to this position, in the past twenty years, I have only been able to talk to you, even Xu Wei and Li Tai, who have followed me for thirty or forty years, gradually don't understand what I am thinking." ”

He was silent for a while, glanced at several people in the garden, and suddenly smiled: "This Lin San you recommended is very good, very good, not deep in learning, but the scope is extremely wide, and it is practical enough, it is a useful talent, it is not bad at all than what I bothered to cultivate." He protected the stall in Jinling, and exterminated the white lotus in Shandong, and he made great achievements without being greedy for merit, all of which I keep in mind. Today's garden is beautiful, but it is of little use, it is a peach on paper, and it will not be jealous, so as not to accuse me of indiscriminately dividing the seals. ”

The blind old man knew that this was not the time for him to speak, so he kept silent, and sure enough, a glimmer of expectation flashed in the old man's eyes and said, "As long as he does a good job, I will give him a fair chance." All people have equal opportunities, no more, no less. ”

*******************

Lin Wanrong saw that Su Zhuangyuan and Miss Xu were seated, but the old man in the curtain stopped squeaking, waited for a while, and there was no movement, and was about to open his mouth to ask, but he heard the old man's voice come with a smile: "Lin San, do you want to sit on the ground all the time, or do you want to sit on a high stool?" Now it's your turn, among the flowers in this garden, which flower is the leader of the flowers? ”

Among the three, only Lin San did not speak. The many people in this garden, except for a few people, the others couldn't understand, why did this old man raise Lin San to such a height? Among the three people in this debate, one is the daughter of Xu University's scholar, who is better than Xu Wei in terms of learning, and the other is the champion of Xinke, which is needless to say. But this Xiao family's Ding Lin San, which onion is it, is it worth this old man to compare him with the previous two?

Lin Wanrong is also strange, this boss looks up to me too much, I don't know him well, why do you have to let me speak.

Seeing him hesitate, the old man smiled again: "What, don't you want to, or don't you dare?" ”

Lin Wanrong grinned and said: "It's not that I don't dare, I'm afraid that I dare to speak, but some people don't dare to listen." ”

He smiled on his face, but what he said was amazing, and the old man whispered a smile and said to Xiao Wei Zi behind him: "This kid you elected, I'm just afraid that no one will be able to cure him in the future." ”

The blind old man gritted his teeth and said: "If someone can cure him, then it is not worth the slave to choose from you-master, who in the world can cure you?" ”

This is a very ingenious analogy, the old man can understand it, he smiled slightly, no longer spoke to Xiao Weizi, and only said loudly: "Lin San, what don't you dare to hear, you just say it." ”

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "This elder, you said that you want to choose the leader of the flowers from the hundred flowers in this garden, yes or no?" ”

"Exactly." The old man replied.

"So, I can choose any one of the flowers and plants in this garden?"

"Yes, as long as you give a reason, you can choose the flowers and plants in this garden." The old man looked at him with interest.

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "That's great." He shook the dog's tail grass in his hand and said, "I'll choose this." ”

Su Zhuangyuan almost fell off the stool, and saw the fluffy thing in Lin Wanrong's hand, saying that flowers are not flowers and grass is not grass. He was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Brother Lin, you're not mistaken, right?" ”

Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "That's it, I won't choose it." ”

The eldest lady originally thought that he would choose an orchid. After all, he was most familiar with orchids, but when he saw that he chose the most inconspicuous and even disgusting dog-tail flower, he immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "This bad guy." I didn't once guess what he was thinking. ”

Xu Zhiqing glanced at Lin Wanrong, a trace of interest flashed in her eyes, and said to the eldest lady with a smile: "This person in your family, I'm afraid it will be terrible in the future." Sister Xiao, sister here, congratulations to you first. ”

"What's the matter?" The eldest lady was happy when she heard this, but her face was full of shame: "I'm afraid it's a lot of nonsense, sister, this person is dead." ”

The old man in the pavilion was born in a noble family, and he usually sees top-notch flowers and plants, which one is not gorgeous? Today, I looked at the inconspicuous grass in Lin San's hand, and suddenly wondered: "Lin San, what is this?" ”

Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "This is called the dog tail flower, these fluffy ones that everyone sees are the flowers it blooms, which are the most common and even the most hated by everyone, how about it, it's ugly enough, right?" ”

Sure enough, it was ugly enough, and the people in the field had a bad chill. The old man smiled: "Do you choose this dog's tail flower as the best of the flowers?" Sure enough, it was unexpected. The people in the garden couldn't help laughing, can this dog's tail flower be compared with the peony of the national color and fragrance? Fools know no.

Lin Wanrong's face remained unchanged, Xu Zhiqing looked at him curiously, and her words were not shocking, what the hell is this person doing?

"The peony is bewitching and confusing, and a country is crazy and spares no money." Lin Wanrong read slowly, smiled and picked off a white jade-like "Trembling Wind Jiao", put it on her nose and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "Beauty, fragrance, national color and heavenly fragrance are really worthy of the name." Ah, I suddenly miss the poem, 'A cluster of national flowers, ten households are endowed, every family is customary, everyone is obsessed with enlightenment'. Su Zhuangyuan, you are the champion hand-picked by the emperor's imperial pen, can you explain to all of us what this poem means? ”

Su Mubai's face changed, of course he understood the meaning of this poem, it was to say that the Chinese people were intoxicated with peonies, almost obsessed, and it was a satirical poem.

Lin Wanrong sighed and said: "This peony is really good-looking, so good-looking that people can't bear to touch it-but what else can it do besides being good-looking?" It is delicate and easy to break, and it needs to be cared for carefully, and if you are not careful, it will be gone, you see—" He threw the beautiful peony on the ground, and with a light step on it, the petals were crumbling and difficult to see.

"Brother Lin, what are you doing here?" Su Mubai frowned and said: "We who appreciate flowers should cherish flowers and love flowers, and it is really a sin to waste flowers and branches." ”

"Su Zhuangyuan said it well." Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up: "You are really a person who appreciates flowers, cherishes flowers, and loves flowers." But-" He changed his tone and laughed loudly: "I want to ask Su Zhuangyuan, what kind of flower do you admire, what kind of flower do you love-"

Su Mubai suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and Lin Wanrong laughed loudly: "I'll answer for Zhuang Yuanlang." You appreciate the beauty, love the national color and fragrance, this dog tail grass will you appreciate it, love it? It's right to say that you appreciate beauty and love beauty, but it's wrong to say that you appreciate flowers and love flowers, Champion Lang, am I right? ”

What a sharp mouth. Su Mubai couldn't make a sound, but Xu Zhiqing watched it with relish.

"There is nothing wrong with loving beauty, but I have to ask, in this world, is there more peonies, or more dogs' tails? You all take care of the noble peony, love it, and pet it, but who cares about the thousands of dog's tail grass? Who cares? Who the cares? Lin Wanrong stepped on the peony twice more and scolded angrily.

The eldest lady hurriedly pulled him gently, Meimu glanced at him, and said softly: "You, don't say foul language." ”

"Oh, Sao, Sao." Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly and glanced at Xu Zhiqing: "Miss Xu, the Qingli arrogant white peony should be out of the dust and unclean, the leader is very good, this sentence is very reasonable, but I want to ask, who is your white peony leader?" Is it a peony, a chrysanthemum or a gentleman's orchid? Wrong, wrong, all wrong, they are also leaders, you are leading, we are a bunch of dog tail grass, worthless dog tail grass. If you are in troubled times, do you want to abandon the peony first, or do you want to abandon the dog's tail grass first, Miss Xu, can you give me an answer? ”

Xu Zhiqing bit her red lip lightly and refused to speak. The eyes of the people in the pavilion flickered, and they looked at Lin Wanrong with interest, and a faint smile appeared on their lips.

"Actually, I don't need your answer." Lin Wanrong spread her hands, shrugged her shoulders and smiled: "This dog's tail grass is ugly and vulgar, walking on the road, you want to trample it to death when you see it." But did you really step on him? Lin Wanrong smiled slightly, threw the grass on the ground, stepped on it a few times, and when she picked it up, she saw that the grass was still connected to the bones, tall and slender: "Our grass roots, the vitality is the most tenacious, it doesn't need you to care for it at all." In troubled times, peonies can wither overnight, but grassroots roots can last for thousands of years. The big waves are washing the sand, and what is inexhaustible is gold, who abandoned whom, can you figure it out, Miss Xu? To put it mildly, a fire burned down this garden, and you see who is left here? Who is the phoenix that can't be burned? Who is the real best of the best? - Miss Xu, do you understand what I'm talking about? ”

Xu Zhiqing gritted her teeth, her face turned red, her little hands clenched, and she glanced at him, but she didn't speak.

Lin Wanrong grinned, waved her hand and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, it's not interesting to say it too clearly, anyway, everyone understands." This one in the pavilion, I'm tired, you can get me a bench. ”

The old man in the pavilion glanced at the blind old man meaningfully, and said with a smile: "It is right to give him a seat, Xiao Weizi, in your opinion, let him sit on Su Mubai's left or right head." ”

"The master is clear." Xiao Weizi's face remained unchanged and said respectfully.

"Come on, give Lin San, to the left of Miss Xu." The old man laughed loudly and commanded loudly. A meaningful smile appeared on the face of the blind old man Gu Jing Bubo......
