Today, Lin Ruan called Xiao Lu over because he had something to arrange for him to do.

"Housekeeper, I want to buy two mountains in the suburbs of Beijing to plant some flowers and plants, you can help inquire, if there is a suitable one, regardless of the price, buy it first."

Xiao Lu was a little puzzled: "Buy two mountains to plant flowers and plants?" ”

Lin Ruan smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have a new idea to make money, and I need to use a lot of flowers and plants, so I need enough space to plant." The bigger the place, the better, but it's okay to be remote. If you can buy more, then try to buy as much as possible, and in terms of price, as long as it is not too outrageous, buy it first. ”

Xiao Lu should go down and do it immediately.

After the matter here was arranged, Lin Ruan turned her head and asked Luohua to help her find a craftsman who was good at making facial fat and incense powder.

Making cosmetics is a bit unfamiliar to her, although she has also learned some knowledge of handmade skin care products in her previous life, but she has never really done it. So she needed to find people who specialized in this area, and then integrate her ideas with their craft to create new products.

Good craftsmen are not easy to find, so Lin Ruan is not in a hurry and waits very patiently.

Who knew that he didn't wait for the news of Xiao Lu and Luohua, but waited for Liu Guifei's invitation.

Lin Ruan flipped through the post, and then twitched the corner of his mouth: "On the twelfth day of the first month, enjoy the flowers?" ”

In this cold winter, which flower is appreciated?

If she remembers correctly, when she went to the palace banquet a few days ago, there were fake flowers made of silk cloth hanging on the trees in the imperial garden, so she couldn't enjoy them, right?

The green calyx leaned over and said: "Look at the slave maid, the flower appreciation is fake, and it is true to show the three princes." The third prince is now twenty, and the matter of marrying a concubine cannot be delayed any longer. This flower-viewing banquet, Bacheng is a blind date banquet arranged by Liu Guifei. ”

Lin Ruan asked curiously, "Didn't you say before that the third prince was interested in which pavilion's granddaughter?" ”

Fei Xi smiled disdainfully: "With the character of Liu Guifei and the third prince, I am probably afraid that I will marry this and miss the better one, so I will simply hold such a flower-viewing banquet, get all the nobles in Beijing together, and have a good time." ”

The green calyx nodded in agreement.

Lin Ruan had gained a little knowledge, so he gave the post to Green Calyx and asked her to remember to remind herself.

After all, it was an invitation from the concubine, and if you don't go, it will be a bit faceless. Anyway, being idle is idle, so you should go and have a good time.

So on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Lin Ruan got up early in the morning.

Green Calyx brought a few sets of clothes over and asked Lin Ruan to choose.

These clothes are all in the car of New Year's gifts sent by Xiao Jingchen on the first day of the new year, all of them are very exquisite, the workmanship is excellent, and the price is very expensive at a glance.

Lin Ruan waved his hand: "These are not suitable, I'll pick them myself." ”

So I went to the wardrobe and pulled it for a while, and chose a very inconspicuous dress. It's not that this dress is bad, it's just that the color is not outstanding light lilac, and the style is not outstanding. If you insist on boasting, it can only be said to be decent and steady.

Lu Calyx looked at the clothes, very dissatisfied, she still wanted to show her skills today, give Lin Ruan a good life, and overwhelm the crowd.

Fei Xu glanced at her: "Are you in the water in your brain?" What is the cherry blossom feast for today? For the blind date of the three princes. Our county lord needs to steal the limelight with those girls who go on a blind date? And then provoke the three princes to look at the county lord? Is this nothing to do? ”

The green calyx reacted suddenly, and knocked his head in annoyance: "Look at my brain! ”

Lin Ruan waved his hand indifferently and asked the green calyx to comb his hair and makeup.

Because he didn't want Lin Ruan to stand out, Lu Calyx didn't think about any tricks for Lin Ruan, but simply combed his double bun and picked a few simple bead flowers to put on.

As for the makeup, I simply described it, and in her age, those heavy makeup are not suitable. Lin Ruan's skin was white and delicate, and even the base makeup was saved, so he only swept his eyebrows, rubbed some rouge, and then took a little lipstick, and it was cleaned up.

The whole person looked at it, but there was no big change.

Lin Ruan was very satisfied.

After going downstairs for breakfast, Lin Ruan took the green calyx and the flying floc in a carriage and went to the palace.

Adhering to the principle of not pinching the tip and not falling behind, Lin Ruan stuck the time very well, and arrived neither early nor late.

Liu Guifei's flower-viewing banquet was placed in the imperial garden,

There are some plum trees planted in the garden itself, and it is now in full bloom. But when it was plum blossoms, it was quite monotonous, so Liu Guifei asked the Internal Affairs Office to move a lot of flowers and plants from the greenhouse to decorate it, making this flower-viewing banquet more worthy of its name.

Kyoto is located in the north, and there are no vivid colors in winter, and although there are greenhouses dedicated to growing flowers and plants in each prefecture, there is no comparison with the scale and variety of flowers in the Imperial Palace.

Therefore, as soon as the ladies arrived in the imperial garden, they were attracted by those delicate flowers, and several of them gathered together, laughing and admiring the flowers.

Everyone knows the nature of this banquet.

There are girls who want to be on top, naturally they all dress up extra hard, and they all work hard to dress themselves up very beautifully, just thinking that they can come out on top in this banquet.

When Lin Ruan arrived, he made these charming nobles dazzled.

It's really better than flowers.

Liu Guifei hadn't arrived yet, so Lin Ruan took his people to find a place to sit down.

After a while, two noble ladies came forward to greet Lin Ruan: "I've seen the county lord of Fuyou." ”

Lin Ruan returned the salute and asked, "You know me?" ”

One of them said: "At the palace banquet, Wan'er and I were fortunate enough to see the county lord's song "Flying Sky", which was really unforgettable, it was too shocking. By the way, I forgot to introduce myself to the county lord, my name is Li Qingqiu, and I am the granddaughter of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department. She is Yao Wan'er, and her father is Dali Siqing. ”

Lin Ruan smiled and said, "Let you see the smile, that dance was made up by me, and there is no discipline." ”

Yao Wan'er is as her name suggests, very soft, and her voice is soft: "The county lord is too modest, the flying dance is really beautiful, and it is really unforgettable." ”

Who doesn't like to listen to good words?

Lin Ruan is also a layman, he was praised to his face like this, and he could still be modest with two words, but his eyes were full of smiles.

As soon as he was happy, Lin Ruan said generously: "In the future, the two girls will go to the restaurant under my name to eat, and they will all be 7% off." ”

The two girls were immediately overjoyed and thanked them again and again.

Although they don't care about that idea of food money with their family background, the meaning is different.

The other nobles saw that these two girls were chatting happily with Lin Ruan, and they all came forward to greet Lin Ruan.

Lin Ruan responded one by one.

A girl named Wu Yuyan said: "County Lord, the makeup you put on that night was so beautiful, can you show me some pointers?" I tossed around at home many times, but I couldn't get the essence out. ”

Lin Ruan said generously: "Of course you can, if you want to know which step method, I will tell you carefully." ”

Wu Yuyan didn't expect her to be so refreshing, and immediately said: "It would be best if I could say the whole makeup once." ”
