Chapter 13 Flower Selection

"Girls, take your own velvet flowers and take a seat."

For this flower god selection, Princess Heshou specially ordered people to make twelve kinds of velvet flowers, five of each. Take the representative flower of January, and then run for the January flower god. For each god of flowers, there can only be five candidates.

After Aunt Qin, who was in charge of this matter, finished talking about the rules, many noble girls panicked. There are only five of each type of velvet flower, so people with slow hands may not be able to choose the flower god they want.

No matter how anxious they were, the ladies still maintained their faces and were kind and humble, and no one stood up to choose the velvet flowers for a while.

Ning Yingluo walked to the front with a smile and suggested, "Since all the sisters don't want to be the first person, why don't you start with me?" Then take them one by one? ”

In terms of age, experience, status and status, Ning Yingluo is stronger than all the nobles. You all responded and gave up your preferred spot.

Ning Yingluo stepped forward calmly, saluted Aunt Qin, and calmly picked up the peony velvet flower.

"Reward from Princess Xie and Shou."

The ladies stepped forward one by one and chose the velvet flowers they wanted one by one.

With the decrease of velvet flowers, the velvet flowers of lotus, plum blossom and osmanthus are cleaned by the noble lady in front. When it was Jiang Xuemian's turn, she lingered for a long time between pomegranates and camellias, and finally picked a camellia velvet flower.

A few more people went up before it was Zhou Jingyan's turn. Zhou Jingyan's mind was not on choosing flowers, so she picked a begonia velvet flower at random.

After coming back, he looked left and right in the crowd, just to find Li Jiangwei's figure.

It's a pity that no trace of Li Jiangwei has been found for a long time.

Finally, it was Li Jiangwei's turn to step forward, and she did not hesitate at all and took the first pear blossom velvet flower. Zhou Jingyan was waiting on the side anxiously, and the maid at home was not guarding by her side, it was a good time to meet Li Jiangwei! As long as Li Jiangwei can come back from Aunt Qin! Zhou Jingyan can find a chance to speak!

However, it backfired. After Li Jiangwei saluted Aunt Qin according to the rules, she was actually kept by Aunt Qin to say a few more words. At this moment, the other aunts came and summoned the nobles who had received the velvet flowers to the Changyin platform on the edge of the garden water pavilion.

"Why don't you go?" One of the maids in the garden asked, "It's too late, but I can't keep up." ”

"Can I go back later?"

"What's the point of a while?" The maid was a little displeased, and said with a straight face: "If other people are waiting here like you, and they are all piled up here, how chaotic will that scene be?" Or hurry up with us to the sound station. ”

Zhou Jingyan was trained by her like this, and she was angry in her heart.

"Is it possible that the eldest princess will invite you personally? Come with me! ”

Behind the maid was Princess Heshou, Zhou Jingyan didn't dare to make a mistake, so she could only suppress her anger and follow the maid to the Changyin platform, turning her head to look at Li Jiangwei from time to time.

Li Jiangwei herself didn't think about choosing a velvet flower, so she was taken by Aunt Qin and pulled her to say a few more words. It was these two sentences that made Li Jiangwei sense a burst of unkind sharp eyes sweeping towards her.

When the last person finished picking the velvet flowers, Aunt Qin smiled and said, "All the noble ladies come with me." ”

The sound deck is not far from the place where the velvet flowers are selected, and you will come here after crossing the small bridge in the middle of the pond. Aunt Qin arranged the seats according to the velvet flowers selected by the nobles. The plum blossoms in January sit together for five people, and the apricot blossoms in February sit together again, and the rest of the flowers in the future are arranged in this way.

"The Flower God Election starts with the narcissus in December. Before the start, ladies and gentlemen are invited to enjoy the tea and snacks prepared by the house. ”

Li Jiangwei picked up the teacup, sniffed it gently, smelled the faint fragrance of flowers, and a small jar of honey was placed on the side of the teacup. The refreshment plate is lined with delicate pastries in a variety of colors, and the pastries are also floral. This fragrant feast made Li Jiangwei sigh frequently.

There is a distance between the begonias in July and the pear blossoms in March, and Zhou Jingyan can only look at the back of Li Jiangwei drinking tea, and she is entangled.

Chen Luo is only the daughter of a sixth-grade official in Beijing, and the fifth-grade is not low, but in a place like Beijing, it is not noble. If you want to pick a good relative, you can only rely on the god of flowers to choose a name, and you can be familiar with it in front of Princess Heshou. In her opinion, the other four people at this table are enemies.

Chen Luo was originally going to take plum blossoms, and even today's dress is mostly related to plum blossoms. Who knew that when it was her turn to pick up the velvet flowers, the plum blossoms had already been cleaned, so she could only choose this begonia.

Chen Luo's familiarity with begonias is limited, and when she obtained the velvet flowers of begonias, she asked her maid to check the poems and phrases related to begonias. Seeing Zhou Jingyan, who was at the same table, looking left and right, Chen Luo, who was originally quite nervous, couldn't relax.

"This hasn't started yet, you're in a hurry?"

The noble girl at the same table sneered and looked at Zhou Jingyan leisurely with a teacup. Zhou Jingyan's ability to recognize people is limited, unless she often interacts with people, and people who have only met once are quickly left behind by her. The noble girl in front of her, Zhou Jingyan had no impression.

"My participation in the Flower God Selection is just a picture of music. Whether you choose or not, it will not affect my future marriage, so why be in a hurry? ”

This sentence can be regarded as piercing Chen Luo's heart.

"I'm afraid it's only good to say. What woman doesn't worry about her own family? ”

Zhou Jingyan said with a smile: "Worried? My father is a secretary of the court, and the people who are waiting to come to the door to propose their relatives do not know how many people are ordinary. With my father here, which round am I worried about? ”

Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but actually used the teacup to cover up his unwillingness.

Why should she fight for what others can get without doing anything.

Chen Luo stared at Zhou Jingyan fiercely, but Zhou Jingyan didn't take her to heart at all. just looked in the direction of Li Jiangwei, anxious, and didn't look at Chen Luo at all, nor did he look at Changyintai.

Princess Heshou happily sat on the high platform, on the left hand side sat her own daughter Fengyang County Lord, and on the right hand side sat the three princes. Princess Heshou looked at the girls in the audience and invited Aunt Qin.

"Let the kids go on stage. If it's late, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in a day. ”

The content of the primary selection is very simple, only the appearance and temperament are tested. The girls who chose the same kind of velvet flower walked up to the sound stage at the same time, as long as Princess Shou felt that their appearance and temperament were in line with the flower god of the month, they would stay. If it is in the eyes of Princess Heshou, she will ask a few questions.

The first half runs from December to July.

In December, the god of daffodils came to the stage, and the five maidens stood on the stage and saluted in the direction of Princess Heshou. Princess Heshou smiled happily, and kept saying that it was good.

Aunt Qin was on the side, and loudly repeated the praise of Princess Heshou.

"Boys, what do you think of these flower gods?"

There was a distance between the stands and the stage, and the girls on the stage were dressed plainly and could not see their appearances.

The county lord of Fengyang held Princess Heshou and said with a smile: "Just look at the figure, they are all good girls." ”
