At the end of the first round of the competition, Ling Xiu'er's score ranked first. When the next round was about to be played, the weather was not beautiful, and it was raining well, and the rain was not small, and the contestants and officials all hid in the nearby shops.

Ling Xiu'er and Cao Yu hid in a nearby restaurant, and before they could brush off the raindrops on their bodies, Mrs. Qin and others also ran in.

Qin Lianlian was inconvenient to walk because of her cumbersome clothes, so she fell behind and was mostly wet. The maid who was traveling with her wiped her with a handkerchief, and was thrown to the ground by Qin Lianlian.

"Miss Ben's makeup is going to be wiped by you, something that doesn't have long eyes!"

When the little maid heard this, she grabbed the handkerchief and stepped aside. Mrs. Qin casually asked Xiao Er to serve some hot tea and snacks, and sat down and waited for the rain to stop.

At the next table are Ling Xiu'er and Cao Yu. Seeing the mother and daughter of the Qin family sitting next to her, Ling Xiu'er pulled Cao Yu to the window, she didn't want to get any breath of the mother and daughter of the Qin family, and she was unlucky.

However, Qin Lianlian saw Cao Yu with sharp eyes, and Tian came over shamelessly.

"Cao Juren, what a coincidence, you are also hiding from the rain here?"

If you don't hide from the rain, do you want to get drenched in the rain? Ling Xiu'er slandered in her heart, squinting her eyes to see what tricks Qin Lianlian was going to play, so she saw that she called Xiao Er and served a table of tea and snacks that were exactly the same as Mrs. Qin's.

Qin Lianlian enthusiastically raised a piece of dim sum to feed Cao Yu, "Cao Juren, the osmanthus cake in this house is sweet but not greasy, you can taste it." As he spoke, he was about to come to Cao Yu's mouth.

Cao Yu quickly dodged and deliberately changed his position, separating Ling Xiu'er between himself and Qin Lianlian, before saying, "I'm sorry, I don't like sweets." ”

"Xianggong, this is the candied fruit I pickled a few days ago, open my mouth—"

Ling Xiu'er fed Cao Yu a candied fruit with her own hands, raised her hand and stuffed another one into her mouth, and pretended to say suddenly: "Oops, I forgot that Miss Qin was here, so Miss Qin smiled." You don't eat candied fruit, it's sweet. ”

Looking at Ling Xiu'er's smiling face, Qin Lianlian almost gritted her silver teeth. What don't eat sweets, don't eat the sweets she feeds! Ling Xiu'er deliberately smashed her own field, and she also wanted Ling Xiu'er to look good.

Qin Lianlian covered her anger and smiled stiffly, "I'm afraid that I'll get sick if I eat it, thank you Miss Ling for your kindness." Then he said: "Miss Ling is really showing off her embroidery on the stage today, but this is the first round, many people have not shown their housekeeping skills, and it is normal for Miss Ling to be the first." ”

Ling Xiu'er threw a candied fruit in her mouth indifferently, and said calmly: "My unique work has not been revealed, and good things naturally have to be left at the end, right, Xianggong." ”

Saying that, Ling Xiu'er tilted her head and smiled at Cao Yu, her playful smile reminded people of the lotus flowers that will not bloom in the rain, and the pink and tender core is the loveliest thing in the world.

Cao Yu couldn't help but show a gentle smile on his face, diluting the coldness on his body, giving people a feeling of relaxation and happiness.

Qin Lianlian was about to die of jealousy on the side, why could Ling Xiu'er enjoy Cao Yu's kindness to her, she didn't deserve it!

"Cao Juren, look, there was a carp jumping out of the water by the river just now."

Qin Lianlian pointed to the riverbank not far away and forcibly interrupted the two to show their affection.

Ling Xiu'er looked at the place where she said, the river was foggy, not to mention the rain, it was difficult to look at the boat, so she deliberately played Qin Lianlian, "Oh, it's still a red carp, make a wish, make a wish!" As he spoke, he closed his eyes and folded his hands.

Qin Lianlian lied to them just now, and when she saw that Ling Xiu'er really saw it, she felt unfair, and pulled Cao Yu's sleeve and said, "Cao Juren, I didn't see it very clearly, you can follow me to the bridge to have a look." ”

Cao Yu sat beside Ling Xiu'er as steady as Mount Tai, and Qin Lianlian couldn't move.

At this moment, Mrs. Qin spoke, "Lian'er." The long Erhuayin was reproachful, Qin Lianlian knew that her mother was reminding her to go too far, so she reluctantly returned to her mother and took a bite of the osmanthus cake.

Before, Mrs. Qin lowered her eyes to drink tea, and her eyes had been observing Ling Xiu'er and the three of them, and she found that Ling Xiu'er was a person who could say, Qin Lianlian might not be able to fight her. Thinking of that day, Ling Xiu'er scared herself with the five poisons in front of the Zhang Mansion, and Mrs. Qin's hand holding the teacup tightened.

Until the rain stopped, Qin Lianlian's eyes never left Cao Yu and his wife. Seeing that Ling Xiu'er and Cao Yu were chatting more and more happily, her hatred for Ling Xiu'er was also accumulating little by little.

When the shower stopped, Ling Xiuer and Cao Yu walked out of the restaurant, a rainbow hung on the river, and the dreamy color made Ling Xiuer excitedly call out to Cao Yu, "Look, Xianggong, it's the dragon that absorbs water!" ”

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, the rainbow bridge connects from one end of the river to the other. It would be nice to embroider it on silk. Ling Xiu'er thought in her heart, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Xianggong, I know the secret of winning the championship!" ”

Cao Yu saw Ling Xiu'er's happy appearance, although she didn't understand what she was happy about, but she was also happy with her, and the two held hands and walked in the direction of home.

Due to heavy rain, the embroidery vote was changed to tomorrow.

When the two walked away, Ah Jiu at the door of the restaurant took off the hat pretending to be a coolie driver, took off his coat and wrung out the water, and listened to the Qin mother and daughter who came out of the restaurant and said, "How long can a village girl be arrogant?" Lian'er, don't worry, my mother guarantees that Ling Xiu'er won't last the third round, and the champion must be yours. ”

"Thank you, mother......"

Ah Jiu stared at the Qin family's mother and daughter walking away, a pair of black eyes condensed with a dangerous aura.

Ling Xiu'er and Cao Yu did not go home directly, but bought a jar of fuel from the dyeing workshop on the way. The shopkeeper of the dyeing workshop heard that Ling Xiu'er was going to dye the colors of the rainbow, and laughed with the guys around him until his stomach hurt.

"This girl, I'm not laughing at you, it's just that my master of the dyeing workshop can't adjust the color, and you can make it as a little woman?"

The shopkeeper Mao said sincerely, his ancestors made a living by opening a dyeing workshop, and his generation is already the sixth generation, and he has not concocted the color of the dragon absorbing water for so many years.

But Ling Xiu'er was completely sure, she said to the shopkeeper Mao: "Shopkeeper, if I dye the color of the dragon absorbing water, what will you do?" ”

"How about I'll give you half of the dye mill plate?" Shopkeeper Mao is really not convinced.

Ling Xiu'er then glanced at Cao Yu, "Husband, have you heard, we will have half a dyeing workshop soon." ”

Cao Yu understood, nodded and smiled, and the bookkeeper asked for a pen and paper, and wrote the gambling contract between the two on it, which was handprinted by Boss Mao and Ling Xiu'er.

Boss Mao funnily pressed down his handprint, still not taking Ling Xiu'er in his eyes.

"Shopkeeper, in Xia Lingxiu'er, we will have a date later." Ling Xiu'er smiled mischievously, took the contract from the table, carried Cao Yu's arm, and went home with a basket of dye.

Before entering the door, Ling Xiu'er was hugged by Fan Meihua who was guarding the door, hugged her so that she couldn't breathe, and shouted Cao Yu for help.

Cao Yu was carrying a basket in one hand and a key in the other, and when she saw the two hugging each other, she stood by and watched the play.

I only heard Fan Meihua wailing: "Sister Xiu'er, you must help me!" ”
