Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Top Three Winners
It is said that people can't be happy and sad, otherwise it will be almost the same if they don't fall.
Xiang Zixi didn't climb out of this accident this time, and she fell ill gorgeously.
Originally, there was a whiplash on her back, and then she soaked in cold water and was almost strangled to death, but she finally woke up, and she was mentally stimulated again, and she was drenched in spring rain.
As a result, Xiang Zixi's illness lasted for seven days, and by the time she was able to walk on the ground, the finals of the food festival had already ended.
In the past seven days, Jin Haoxuan and Ji Yan didn't know if they had reached any consensus, the two of them never mentioned that matter again, the two of them tacitly stayed by Xiang Zixi's bedside, and took turns to use internal force to help Xiang Zixi expel the cold qi in her body, help her absorb the effects of the medicine as soon as possible, and quickly recover her health.
The whiplash on Shen Zhuangmeng's back had already healed, so she also followed Chubby and her maid to take care of Xiang Zixi.
So, on the first day after the end of the food festival, Xiang Zixi finally opened his eyes.
"Ahhh——————h Why is there no strength in the body? ”
The little chubby rushed in with the water, quickly put down the basin, and helped Xiang Zixi: "My young lady, you just stay honest!" Mess yourself up so much, you've never been so sick before! ”
"Ah, Chubby, why are you here? Aren't you at a food festival? Xiang Zixi's face was painful: "How do I feel sore!" ”
"My young lady, you just remembered this! The food festival ended yesterday! As for your soreness, it's because you've had a fever for seven days! Chubby gave her a blank look: "I really don't know how you did it!" As soon as I came back, I saw that you were as hot as coals! Fortunately, I came, if I don't come, who will take care of you! ”
Xiang Zixi smiled bitterly, it seems that he always misses a lot of interesting things! I really didn't expect that I had a fever for seven days! I'm really in a hurry!
Shen Zhuangmeng walked in with a tea tray: "You finally woke up, but you really scared us to death!" ”
Shen Zhuangmeng picked up a blue and white porcelain bowl, sat on the edge of the bed, scooped a spoonful of porridge and put it on his lips to blow it cold, and handed it to Xiang Zixi's mouth: "You just have a fever now, and you can't eat anything too greasy, eat some porridge first." ”
"Thank you, Zhuang Meng!" Xiang Zixi looked at Shen Zhuangmeng with complicated eyes, that day, Shen Zhuangmeng desperately threw himself on his body to block the whip for himself, and he remembered it clearly! I blocked the whip for her because I was confident in my body, but it was really valuable to let a pampered eldest lady make such a choice.
"You're kind to me! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be bothered by me! Speaking of which, I have to apologize to you! Shen Zhuangmeng looked apologetic: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be injured like this!" ”
"Don't say that, we're sisters, aren't we?" Xiang Zixi gently shook Shen Zhuangmeng's hand: "We are friends and sisters, we will never need to be so polite!" ”
Shen Zhuangmeng laughed softly and continued to feed Xiang Zixi.
"I'll tell you good news, we're really in the top three!" Shen Zhuangmeng sighed: "However, if I had known that I would have to pay such a big price to be shortlisted for the top three, I would rather not!" ”
"Why not?" Xiang Zixi ate the white porridge handed over by Shen Zhuangmeng in one bite: "That's fine, let's move the potato market to the capital completely, in this way, won't the market be bigger?" ”
"Zi Xi, do you have any plans?" Shen Zhuangmeng's expression was correct: "Yesterday I received a lot of reports, saying that all the clothes in our lady's workshop were counterfeited, it's really a damn stealing school!" ”
"Oh? Is it? There are really no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king! Xiang Zixi sneered: "It seems that we should really free up our hands to solve this problem!" Zhuang Meng, I'm almost fine, help me bathe and change clothes, I'm going to meet someone! ”
"Who are you going to meet?"
"Xiao Zimo!"
"What are you going to do with him? Now he's busy, busy dealing with the envoys of the other three countries! ”
"Ah, how did I forget this stubble!" Xiang Zixi patted his head: "However, such a thing as formulating a trademark can only be discussed with him!" If you don't look for him, then you can only find Xiahou Junhao! But he's the emperor, so how can I find him? ”
"You, you, you!" Shen Zhuangmeng pressed his forehead harder: "Did you forget me?" Have you forgotten what my aunt did? ”
"That's right! How did I forget! Your aunt has many connections in the capital, and you can introduce a lady through her, and then follow that lady into the palace to meet the emperor. Xiang Zixi's eyes lit up, and then he darkened: "I didn't know that he was the emperor before, if I knew that he was the emperor today, I wouldn't let him go!" ”
Shen Zhuangmeng shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
"Because of the food festival, our potatoes are famous this time, I don't know how many people come to the door every day to ask for the purchase amount!" Chubby said with a grin: "But we only order potatoes in total, because the food festival consumes more than half, and the rest is only three or two baskets, Miss, if you don't wake up, I don't know what this wine shop will be dismantled!" ”
Xiang Zixi and Shen Zhuangmeng looked at each other and smiled, and the purpose of participating in the food festival was finally achieved.
It takes a process to cultivate potatoes, and it will take about two months before the next harvest, so it seems that I need to make some more articles on this potato!
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.
A man in official clothes and hats stood respectfully at the door: "Please this is Miss Xiang's residence?" ”
Xiang Zixi bowed his head: "I am Xiang Zixi!" ”
The man in the official robe and hat stepped forward, bowed ninety degrees, stepped forward with a golden silk robe in his hand, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Miss Xiang, congratulations to Miss Xiang, Miss Xiang was shortlisted for the top three, ranking second, and it is also the eye of the list!" ”
Xiang Zixi and Shen Zhuangmeng glanced at each other, and were surprised: "You mean, I'm the second place leader?" ”
The young man in the official coat and hat replied with a smile: "Exactly! This is the list of clothes given to Miss by the monarchs of the four countries, please accept it! ”
Chubby quickly took it over and rewarded the young man by the way.
The young man smiled and continued: "Three days later, the list of the top three will be officially announced to the world, and Miss Xiang will obey the order and enter the palace to thank you!" Miss Xiang, remember! ”
"It's hard work!" Xiang Zixi replied with a smile.
Sent away the young man in official clothes and hats, Xiang Zixi and Shen Zhuangmeng hugged excitedly, both of them had tears flashing, and they couldn't believe that they had won the title of the leader!
"That's not right! At best, it was not easy for me to break into the top three, and it was only under the deliberate operation of others that I got in. How did it suddenly climb to the top of the list? Xiang Zi said puzzledly: "Even if Lin Muyang does his best to help me, he can only help me to enter the top three, how can he suddenly rise to the top of the list?" ”
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Zhuangmeng's mouth, glanced at Xiang Zixi, and said with a smile: "That's because the nobles of Yaoguo Capital have collectively decided to give you all the votes!" ”
"What? What do you mean! Xiang Zixi was stunned: "What do you mean that the votes of the nobles of Yaoguo have been given to me!" ”
"Literally!" Shen Zhuangmeng handed the teacup to Xiang Zixi, and said softly: "After the first day of the final of the food festival, the nobles of Yaoguo sent a representative to come to us and tell us that they will give up this year's competition and spare no effort to help us get the top three places. And that representative is Qian Yingying! ”
Xiang Zixi jumped his eyebrows: "How could it be her?" The one who doesn't like me the most is probably her, right? ”
Shen Zhuangmeng spread his hands: "Who said it wasn't?" However, she was also the first to raise her hand and choose to give up the game and choose to help you! ”
Xiang Zixi smiled, this woman is really fickle! Sure enough, it's an M.,The masochistic tendency is so serious?
"As far as I know, the reason why this situation happened was because of Xiahou Junhao's relationship." Shen Zhuangmeng looked at Xiang Zixi meaningfully: "I didn't expect that he really has a conscience, although he didn't appear from the beginning to the end of the food festival, he still pays attention to you, and when he heard that you are determined to succeed, he used the power in his hand to help you fulfill this wish." ”
Xiang Zixi's eyes flashed that heroic face, and he couldn't help but smile. Unexpectedly, the final result turned out to be like this, originally this was a struggle between the state and the state, the nobles and the commoners, but this year's food festival actually completely broke this pattern, and there was such a result.
It's just because there is one more Xiang Zi at this year's food festival!
Shen Zhuangmeng looked at Xiang Zixi's distracted face, and his heart was indescribable. The woman in front of her is indeed not a country and a city, but there are always so many high-profile men who are willing to make their own sacrifices for her. If it was before, I must not have understood, but the deeper I came into contact with Xiang Zixi, the more addicted I became. How much more so than others?
There are always countless strange ideas in her head, and there is always a motivation that can't stop. The astonishing execution and action that amazed everyone.
"Ah yes, we are the top actors, so who are this year's champions and Tanhua?" Xiang Zixi suddenly became curious: "Are they all nobles too?" ”
"Don't worry, won't you know in three days?" Shen Zhuangmeng said with a smile: "That's fine, I don't have to go to my aunt, we can go to the palace openly!" Ah, I'm looking forward to it! It is said that the palace is beautiful and beautiful, and the concubines and maids are all captivating to the country and the city! ”
Xiang Zixi smiled: "It is true that the palace is beautiful, but the women who live in the inner courtyard of the palace are far from being as happy and free as us!" After all, freedom is more precious! ”
"Zixi, are you awake?" There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Jin Haoxuan and Ji Yan appeared at the door at the same time.
Xiang Zixi noticed that because of Ji Yan's arrival, Shen Zhuangmeng's eyes lit up instantly, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
