Xiaobai's words made Lu Youyou no longer have any worries, and immediately followed closely behind Du Qingyi, and under the guidance of the maid, he entered the middle of the octagonal pavilion.

There are eight tables lined up in the pavilion, and there is a vase on each table, these eight vases are different in size, shape and color, and next to the vase, there are several flowers of different varieties, Lu Youyou roughly identifies the flowers that he can recognize are peonies, peonies, roses, and even pomegranate flowers, and behind each vase stands a solemn-looking grandmother.

When all the women were standing in front of the table, another grandmother standing at the stone table behind immediately lit a pillar of incense sticks in the incense burner of the stone table, and then announced with an expressionless face: "Limited to one stick of incense, please choose your own flowers and bottles as soon as possible, when the incense sticks are burned out, the game is over, the bottle is elegant, and those with good artistic conception can go to the platform." Okay, let's get started! ”

Not only to make the flowers look good, but also to have a sense of meaning? With just a few flowers, Princess Jin Xian can come up with so many difficult doorways, it seems that she is indeed a difficult character. When the time comes, if there is no artistic conception, won't the people who are turned away even have a place to cry?

Just as she was thinking about it, Du Qingyi quietly stretched Lu Youyou's arm and asked in a low voice, "Sister...... I...... I won't! What to do! How should this flower be inserted, should it be inserted into the bottle? ”

Although there are strange flowers and plants growing in the valley all year round, it is okay to let Du Qingyi distinguish medicine, flower arrangement or something, she has only seen it in the book before, and she has never learned it!

On the table in front of them was a small white porcelain ear pot, the ear pot was square and the bottle mouth was not large, so it was obviously impossible to insert all the four or five flowers on the table into it, and the flowers were not inserted like this. Ikebana is all about getting it just right.

So Lu Youyou thought about it, and whispered a few words to Du Qingyi, after listening, Du Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "Is this okay?" ”

"Just listen to me." Lu Youyou winked at her.

Seeing that she was so determined, Du Qingyi gritted her teeth, picked up a peony from the table, first cut off some of its rhizomes, and after trimming its length to twice the height of the ear bottle, she began to carefully prune the excess leaves on the flower branches. She had cultivated so carefully that the time for a stick of incense was almost over, and she had just finished pruning the flower branches and put them in the ear pot. However, I have to say that this peony was pruned by Du Qingyi very beautifully, and the orderly leaves are clustered with a big red peony, which complements the square white porcelain ear pot, and is even more extravagant.

After planting the peony, Lu Youyou helped Du Qingyi tidy up the flowers and leaves, and just after tidying up, he heard the grandmother who was the leader say loudly: "The time is coming, please stop." ”

As her voice fell, the nobles who were originally standing behind the table were immediately invited by their respective grandmothers to stand at the back, and the leading grandmothers looked at them in order, and saw that the first woman had inserted all the flower branches in the half-human-high blue and white porcelain vase, she frowned, and said in a low voice: "Disorganized, out!" ”

Hearing Mama's words, the woman immediately hid her face and left, which made the hearts of several other women immediately lift. But fortunately, when passing by the table of several women behind, although the grandmother's face was not good-looking, she didn't say anything superfluous, but when she walked to the table of the woman next to Du Qingyi, she saw that the woman's round bottle was staggered with peonies, roses, and woody three flowers.

So Mama's brows moved slightly, first glanced at the invitation card that the woman put on the table, and then looked up at the woman's face, and found that her face was as delicate as her flowers, and suddenly smiled: "What is the artistic conception of this flower, lady?" ”

The woman was stunned: "Isn't this flower beautiful?" ”

Mama smiled again: "The Qixi Qiao Girl must have ingenuity, does the lady think that she can get through the trick by following the cat and the tiger?" So isn't this clever girl too casual? ”

The woman's face turned red and white for a while, and finally she gritted her teeth and left without saying a word.

If you plug it badly, you can't plug it well, this grandma is really going to make things difficult, which confirms Lu Youyou's guess, she secretly sneered in her heart, this golden fairy princess is really here to make trouble.

Just thinking about it, Mama had already arrived at Du Qingyi's table, she first raised her eyes to look at Du Qingyi, who was nervous, and then glanced at the mediocre maid behind her, and then looked at her vase, and saw that she only had one flower, and her eyebrows wrinkled: "This lady hasn't finished yet?" ”

"No...... No! Du Qingyi hurriedly said, "I've already finished inserting it." ”

"Only one flower?" Mama asked.

"Yes, only one flower." Du Qingyi nodded.

"Oh? Why? ”

Du Qingyi calmed down, thinking about what Lu Youyou told her just now, and whispered: "The peony is the king of flowers, and other flowers will only be overshadowed by it, so naturally it can't compete with it, and being by her side will not only dwarf it, but also destroy the nobility of the peony, so ...... So I only planted a peony, and only it is qualified to stand alone! ”

"One of a kind?" Mama squinted, looked down at the invitation card that Du Qingyi left on the table, and saw her identity as the sister of the three peerless divine doctors, she was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "The lady of the Du family is really ingenious!" ”

After saying that, she didn't say anything else, and immediately went to the next table to taste.

After a while, after Mama finished evaluating the bottles of these eight women, she finally announced the list of women who could go to the platform, but only four passed, and Du Qingyi's name was impressively listed.

"Ah, I passed, I finally passed, sister...... Sister, I can finally enter the platform! Hearing that he had passed, Du Qingyi was overjoyed, and immediately grabbed Lu Youyou's hand and said excitedly. When they came in just now, they had already agreed that Lu Youyou was coming as her maid, so they could no longer be called sisters, and could only call her sister.

Lu Youyou was equally happy, which meant that she was finally able to embark on her journey to the gold, as if she had seen the bounty already beckoning to her on the platform across the river.

At this time, the cold grandmother just now put on a smile and dodged the corridor leading to the magpie bridge behind her: "Ladies, please!" Walking forward is the Magpie Bridge, and when you cross the Magpie Bridge, it is the platform, and the first competition is about to begin. ”
