69, eavesdropping (2nd update)
Feng Zhenzhen's face was about to turn green, and the vat of old vinegar in her heart was overturned.
"Shichiro ......"
She glared at Li Xiaoqi aggrievedly, biting her lower lip with her teeth, tears flashing in her eyes, and she wanted to cry.
Fortunately, in Li Xiaoqi's life so far, the scene of girls fighting and jealousy in front of him has also been tested for a long time, and he may still be helpless in the early years, and he also tried to persuade to cause a bigger sea of vinegar, but now he has another set of effective methods.
He swept the hands of several girls and maidservants beside Feng Zhenzhen, and saw that several of them were holding a number of pink and white lotus buds and oily green lotus leaves in their hands, so he smiled and said, "What? So soon there will be lotus flowers? Is this picked or bought? ”
Feng Zhenzhen was really diverted from it, and said happily: "I just bought it in the flower market, and this one has it, saying that his family has the secret of raising flowers, and the earliest lotus flowers on the market every year are his family." ”
Li Xiaoqi said: "Do you want to buy it back and insert the bottle?" ”
"Yes, yes."
"If you insert a bottle, it is best to use a wide-mouthed and pot-bellied glass bottle, cut the branches into a staggered way, two lotus leaves with two flower buds, and preferably with a lotus pod, it is very sufficient."
Feng Zhenzhen stomped her feet: "Oops, I forgot to buy a lotus pod." ”
The girl behind her whispered: "At this time, it's still early for the lotus canopy to go on the market...... " said while secretly flying at Li Xiaoqi.
Li Xiaoqi laughed: "No, it doesn't matter, what is the surname of this flower seller, I will also buy a few branches and send them home to my mother." ”
Feng Zhenzhen hurriedly said: "The surname is Jin, and the first family in the east of the flower market is." ”
Li Xiaoqi nodded: "Okay, thank you." As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved to the coachman outside the crowd, "Come here, it's too late, I'm afraid that people will sell out." ”
Feng Zhenzhen and other girls, as well as the crowd of onlookers, hurriedly made way for him, and collectively sent him into the car and left with loving and relieved eyes.
It wasn't until the butt of the carriage was out of sight that Feng Zhenzhen remembered Bai Xiuqing's matter, and when she looked back, she saw that everyone had already left, including the crowd of onlookers, and she couldn't help but be secretly annoyed, pouting and saying, "This Bai Xiuqing, slipped away so fast!" ”
A girl next to her said: "Qilang didn't know Bai Xiuqing and them well in the past, why did they come to the restaurant together today?" ”
Another girl: "I see that there is still the eldest man of the Bai family, maybe it is a party between men?" ”
"If it's a gathering between men, why should there be two girls with you?"
"Bai Xiuqing has always admired Qilang, so naturally he will seize the opportunity to get up."
"I don't think Bai Xiuqing may have this means, but her relative, a girl surnamed Meng, had her in Jianfangyuan last time, and she again this time, how long has she been in She County, and she can eat at the same table with Qilang so soon?"
"Reasonable! That girl is the one who has the scheming and the means. ”
Everyone was gossiping, and while discussing, they also went up to the second floor and chose a private room to enter.
Feng Zhenzhen listened to these words in her ears and remembered them in her heart.
Girls have always been slow and methodical, grooming and eating. Feng Zhenzhen and the others stayed in the Drunken Immortal Residence for more than an hour before they settled their accounts and went home.
The prefect's yamen is a little way away from the drunken immortal residence, and by the time Feng Zhenzhen returns home, it is already more than half of the time.
She instructed the maidservants to take the lotus flowers and insert them in the bottle, and they must be wide-mouthed and big-bellied glass bottles. The maidservants looked around, but said no.
"I remember, my mother had a couple there."
She led people to Mrs. Feng's courtyard.
There was still a shot away from the gate of the courtyard, and I saw my father Feng Lun from a distance, wearing regular clothes and going to the front yard.
She entered the door, saw Mrs. Feng, first told her about the experience of going out to the flower market with her girlfriends today, and then said that she wanted a glass vase, and Mrs. Feng sent her maidservant to look for it in the warehouse.
While waiting, Feng Zhenzhen asked, "Isn't my father resting today, why did you go to the front yard?" Could it be that there is official business? ”
Mrs. Feng was arranging the silk thread, a maid was sitting on a small bench and holding a basket full of various colors of silk thread, Mrs. Feng picked a color and was braiding, and replied casually: "I don't know if it's official business, Liu Zhixian brought the Bai family members to come out to visit." ”
As soon as Feng Zhenzhen heard the Bai family, she was vigilant: "Which Bai family?" ”
"There are still a few Bai families in She County, so they are naturally the richest people."
Outside the Bai family, that is Bai Rongcheng, Bai Xiuqing's uncle.
"What are they coming for?"
Mrs. Feng glanced at her: "You have never cared about your father's official business, why do you keep asking questions today?" ”
Feng Zhenzhen hurriedly explained: "I'm curious, my father is usually disdainful of those who do business. ”
Mrs. Feng raised her head and said with a smile: "Could it be that your father is targeting the Bai family?" Naturally, it was aimed at Liu Zhixian. ”
"Yes, yes." Feng Zhenzhen only responded.
While speaking, the maid came in with a dark green glass bottle with a wide mouth and a big belly, Feng Zhenzhen called her maid to take it, said goodbye to Mrs. Feng, and walked out of the yard quickly.
"You take the bottle back first."
Feng Zhenzhen casually sent the maid to go first, but she didn't go back to the courtyard immediately, but went straight to the front yard.
Outside the main hall, a small servant stood outside the door, saw her from a distance, and was about to report, Feng Zhenzhen waved her hand at him. The little guy stopped making a sound, lowered his head, and looked at his nose and nose.
Feng Zhenzhen lightly went to the door of the main hall and rubbed next to the little maid, using his figure to cover herself.
The doors of the hall were open, and the people inside could hear them clearly.
Feng Zhenzhen pricked up her ears and heard her father's voice.
“…… In this way, it is an elegant thing, and with Mr. Wu's call, many colleges will surely respond. ”
Then another voice answered, and Feng Zhenzhen also heard it, it was Liu Zhixian.
"Yes. Mr. Wu has already posted invitations, and it is said that even students and literati from Jiangsu and Zhejiang will come to participate. Not only that, this elegant collection of literary gatherings, there will also be Li Jiaqilang painted for it, painted a long scroll, next year as a congratulatory gift for the 60th birthday of the official family, presented to the imperial front. ”
Feng Lun: "Oh? Is it Shichiro of Li Zhongcheng's family? ”
"Exactly."
Feng Zhenzhen was taken aback, what kind of elegant collection of essays? Li Xiaoqi still wants to paint?
In the hall, Governor Feng was already aware of the scale and influence that this meeting might have, and asked: "Such a grand event is a major event for my county, and the government should support it vigorously, and Liu Zhixian can take care of it." ”
Liu Zhixian said: "Yes, the county government will arrange officials and officials to work together to maintain order and ensure safety." I am waiting for today to ask the Fuzun to preside over this meeting. ”
"Oh?" Governor Feng held the shelf, "Mr. Wu is the courage of my Jiangnan Shilin, he is the initiator, is it reasonable to be the host?" ”
Liu Zhixian said: "I don't know that the students at this literary meeting will debate, and those who perform well will follow the system of Chunyu to select the champion, the top eye, and the three tripod armor of Tanhua, and the champion will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver, 600 taels of Bangyan, and 400 taels of Tanhua. ”
Feng Lun was still elegantly brushing his beard, and he was so surprised that he almost pulled off one of them: "In this way, this alone will cost four thousand taels of silver, where does the silver come from?" ”
Finally, it was Bai Rongcheng's turn to speak: "The Bai family will sponsor this meeting, and all the expenses of money and materials will be borne by the Bai family." ”
Feng Zhenzhen pouted when she heard it outside the hall, who doesn't know that you Bai Jiafu really seized the opportunity to show off.
