When Chu Yunfan saw Jiang Cheng'er standing in front of him, his face was full of surprise, and his always light and breezy face instantly bloomed with a bright smile, which was better than three thousand flowers in summer.

A handsome and indifferent young man, he looks particularly good when he smiles, and he has a beauty that touches the soul.

Returning home and passing by Master's bamboo house, Jiang Cheng'er paused and walked over involuntarily.

She jumped in through the window and looked around at the familiar scenery in the room, feeling sad that things were wrong.

There is a landscape painting of Peach Blossom Village spread out on the desk, and Jiang Cheng'er stroked the poem one by one and inscribed it seriously: "Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud."

She sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking the pale cyan bamboo pillow, on which there seemed to be Master's body temperature.

She picked up a piece of jet-black hair and held it in her palm, gently closed her eyes, and the master's handsome face emerged, through the ethereal fog.

I still remember the last words that Master said to her: Orange, I will guard you like a jade.

The wind blew in through the window, carrying the faint scent of flowers.

Jiang Cheng'er muttered to herself: Master, I'll wait for you to come back.

Three years later.

On the most prosperous central street in the imperial capital, the annual Hundred Flowers Festival is being held.

This is the most popular festival for women, and the big girl and little daughter-in-law who love beauty have been looking forward to this day every day since the beginning of spring.

Early in the morning, they dressed up and came together.

Even the young lady of the family, who usually lives in the boudoir, also veiled her face and came out to this beautiful and fragrant feast.

The scene of the Hundred Flowers Festival is both a sea of flowers and a world of spices.

Women can not only enjoy thousands of kinds of flowers, but also have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of cosmetics from all over the country. Among them, there are many new products that have just been launched, which is an eye-opener for them.

The highlight of the Hundred Flowers Festival is the incense smelling competition, and the process is very exciting.

The spice shop that won the first place can not only get a lot of money, but also greatly increase its popularity, which can be described as fame and fortune.

Therefore, every spice shop is full of energy to rush forward, even if it can't come out on top, but if it can get the top few good results, it can also do full publicity for its own business.

Prior to this, the winner of the five consecutive championships was the "Red Pink Yiren" Yujia store, and there was no suspense this year that they won again, but the result was surprising, and the leader was taken away by a little-known little girl.

The little girl was wearing a plain and decent dress, with delicate and elegant makeup on her face, bright eyes and bright teeth, looking forward to the brilliance, and the dark fragrance floated between her gestures.

She has the nervousness of being on the field for the first time, and from time to time she looks up at the carved window diagonally above as if unintentionally, and when she looks down, she seems to be encouraged, adding a bit of calm and confidence.

In the early stage of the competition, the performance of the little girl was on par with the senior master sent by the Yu family's store, which can be described as intense.

In the end, the gap was opened up by a palace secret butterfly powder, which added more than 30 kinds of spice ingredients.

The little girl looked at the window and said one more ingredient than the master - Jinxun cage pollen, and successfully won because she answered correctly.

The master of the five-time championship was defeated in the hands of a fledgling little girl, and he couldn't get over his face, but he had to be convinced.

The young proprietor of the Yu family has always warned them that they can't complain about anyone if their skills are not as good as others, so they should first find the reason from themselves and improve their own abilities.

The little girl wore a laurel wreath woven with flowers and a graceful and luxurious cloak embroidered with a hundred flower patterns, like a victorious queen, and accepted the congratulations of the people.

She did not forget to promote her shop, and people remembered the name of the store, which turned out to be a newly opened spice shop in the imperial capital.

I heard that it is a high-end route, because of the novel, unique, high-quality goods, by everyone's ladies, rich ladies favored, since the opening, business has been good.

Some people are happy and some are worried, and the failed master of the Yu family hung his head in frustration, looked apologetically at a purple-clothed man sitting in the audience and sipping tea, and asked the man with his eyes.

The man in purple waved his hand easily, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, and the corners of his lips were raised, clearly showing joy.

The master thought that the man in purple was stimulated, and he felt more and more guilty.

The man in purple looked at the carved window opposite, and the slender and delicate figure of a woman flashed away, and then the window was tightly closed.

He was stunned, and at some point the woman became more and more distant from him, and became the most familiar stranger.

She deliberately distanced herself, both in business and emotionally.

A young woman sitting in the front row of the audience chattered and disrupted Yu Jinhang's thoughts.

Yu Jinhang fixed his eyes and saw that the woman was wearing a goose-yellow fringed skirt, drawing eyebrows and eyes, and looking arrogant.

Her name is Tan Jingjing, she is a well-known rich lady in the imperial capital, and her family's business is very extensive, the most profitable of which is the spice shop that operates rouge gouache.

Tan Jingjing's face was full of undisguised shock and annoyance: "Cousin Yao, I never expected that the leader would be taken away by a small village girl, I am really unwilling."

When she signed up for the competition, I found out her bottom clearly, her name is Jiang Taoer, she comes from a poor countryside and has no background. Just by her, she doesn't know a single big word, she knows what to smell and smell, and I seriously suspect that she is cheating. ”

Sitting on Tan Jingjing's left is her aunt's cousin Pan Qinyao, wearing a lotus-colored Liuyun wide-sleeved skirt, with clear eyebrows and elegant manners.

She was born noble, she is the most beloved concubine of the Xiangguo of this dynasty, and she is also a famous talented woman in the imperial capital.

She spoke slowly: "Jingjing, you can't change your impatient temper, what kind of body do you want to do in front of the public."

I also think she won the trick, but we don't have any evidence that she was cheating, and the names did come out of her mouth, and they flowed very well. Don't...... You mean, she knew what the game was about beforehand? ”

Cousin Yao always treats her as a child, and every time she has a preachy tone, Tan Jingjing spits out turbidity.

"My cousin, what time is it, can I not be in a hurry? Princess Ningxiang didn't stop it, so she let the little village girl win the laurel and embarrassed us to death.

I don't believe it, if she didn't know it, how could she answer the question fluently and easily overcome the last difficulty. ”

Pan Qinyao's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and glanced at the front stage, through a flowing gauze curtain, the VIP invited by the Fragrance Smelling Competition, Princess Ningxiang, was sitting in the back.

Princess Ningxiang is as her name suggests, good at smelling incense and making incense, and her techniques are clever, and the last palace secret butterfly powder is from her hand.

She came from the palace to preside over the overall situation, expressed the importance of the incense smelling competition, she had fun with the people, enhanced exchanges, and established a good reputation among the people.

Pan Qinyao carefully analyzed: "The title of the competition is half of the title of Princess Ningxiang and half of the guild's line, both of them are tightly guarded and cannot be stolen or bought.

Princess Ningxiang hoped that Yu's shop would win, but it happened suddenly, and in full view of everyone, the princess couldn't reverse the situation.

Jiang Tao'er suddenly appeared and disrupted all of our plans. The shop where she is located is even more strange, I don't know who is covered, but she can open the joints of the imperial capital and open it under our noses. ”

Tan Jingjing stomped her feet: "It's so infuriating, dare to argue with us, I don't know who the boss behind the store is, it's mysterious." Hmph, Miss Ben doesn't care who he is, let's smash it first. ”

Pan Qinyao stopped: "Don't be impulsive, in case it is a big person that you and I can't provoke, this matter needs to be considered in the long run." ”

Tan Jingjing said proudly: "There is no one we dare not provoke, if we drag it down and let it stand firm, it will be difficult for us to bring it down." Listen, Jiang Taoer is doing publicity, and the store is famous today.

She also said that there is a profit-making activity, and tomorrow the women will be rushing over, and half of my family's business will be washed away.

Pan Yaoqin pursed the corners of her lips without a trace, Jingjing didn't know that the real boss of her family's business was her father, Xiangguo.

Just because his father was an official in the court, he couldn't get involved in private business openly, so he could only hide behind the scenes, and Jingjing's father would run it on his behalf.

Jingjing, like her father, likes to show off her wealth, and people only know that the Tan family is piling up gold and jade, but they don't know that the real ownership of this wealth is Xiangguo.

There are too many rich people in the imperial capital, and it is easy to be slapped in the face by showing off wealth, so it is better to keep a low profile.

Pan Qinyao turned her head and glanced at Yu Jinhang with a little appreciation.

This man is endlessly charming, not only is he extremely beautiful and dazzling, but he is also the youngest big proprietor in the history of the business world.

I heard my father privately say that Yu's industry is unfathomable and rich enough to rival the country, maybe it's ...... The richest man in the country.

Pan Qinyao gasped, her father originally wanted to marry the Yu family and let her marry Yu Jinhang and get richer.

After quietly inquiring, his father learned that Yu Jinhang was Princess Ningxiang's sweetheart, so he regrettably gave up this idea.

In this regard, Pan Qinyao is secretly happy, although Yu Jinhang is good, she is not her favorite, and she also has her own sweetheart.

The man was as mighty and handsome as a god, and she had the privilege of seeing his face hidden under the mask, and she never forgot it, and she was crazy about it.

"Cousin, Cousin Yao, what are you doing in a daze? You have a lot of ideas, but you should think about how to remove that deceitful village girl from power.

Seeing her toad sitting in a sedan chair - shaking upside down, my lungs were about to explode. Tan Jingjing shouted at the top of her voice.

"The wood is already in the boat, we haven't grabbed her handle, and we can't force her to step down." Pan Qinyao frowned and pondered, "You can test her a few difficult questions, if she can't answer them, it means that she doesn't learn and has no skills, and she is not worthy of wearing a laurel." ”

As soon as Pan Qinyao's words fell, the impatient Tan Jingjing had already begun to act, and she gave a few words to her personal maid Mu Hibiscus.

Mu Hibiscus stood on the chair and shouted in a loud voice: "Congratulations to Miss Jiang, congratulations to Miss Jiang, you stood out in this year's fragrance smelling competition, like a divine help, which surprised us." The little woman had a mystery to solve, so she asked the girl for advice. ”
