Chapter 105: The Flower Competition

Zhu Siqian gritted her teeth, afraid of Fu Rongrong's identity, and didn't dare to make a big move, so she could only scold her: "What about the Hou Mansion?" Isn't the Guogong Mansion also declining overnight? The rise and fall is just a sentence from the emperor! ”

Yes, even the honor and disgrace of a century-old family like the Guogong Mansion are just a thought of the emperor, let alone a new mansion like the Taishi Mansion, isn't life and death all dependent on the emperor's words?

An Xuehan glanced at Zhu Siqian coldly, this idiot...... Sure enough, she is only worthy of being a gunman, she An Xuehan has been talented and beautiful since she was a child, how could she be willing to be a follower to Zhu Siqian?

She not only wants to enter Fengming Academy, she also wants to enter the palace and become the emperor's woman, she must achieve the position above 10,000 people under that person!

……

"Cousin, what are you pulling me for? That An Xuehan was so excessive, she actually designed to snatch your bamboo sticks, if it weren't for your quick thinking, I'm afraid that she would have been killed a long time ago and wouldn't even be able to enter the door, how can you stop me? Fu Rongrong was unconvinced.

Xun Xuan knew that Fu Rongrong was for her good, but the grievances between her and An Xuehan and Zhu Siqian did not want to involve Fu Rongrong and the Hou Mansion behind her, after all, the Taishi Mansion is now powerful in the court, even if the Marquis of Jingyang can maintain clarity and neutrality in the court by virtue of his title.

But if Zhu Taishi deliberately targeted, that day would definitely not be easy.

The Taishi Mansion behind Zhu Siqian must not be feared.

Xun Xuan had a lot of scruples in her heart, but she looked light-hearted, smiled and stretched out her hand to point to the clear figure under the corridor on the side, and said with a smile: "If my cousin continues to fight with Zhu Siqian, I'm afraid I will scare someone away!" ”

That person is An Mingbo, since An Mingbo fell from the horse, he is no longer reused in the court, so he became the secretary of the Guozijian, and today's Chongyang Poetry Club is run by the Guozijian side, and An Mingbo, as the secretary of the Guozijian, naturally has to participate.

When Fu Rongrong saw An Mingbo, she immediately restrained a lot, and her face also showed the shyness of her little daughter.

Xun Xuan smiled, and secretly said that only the second cousin could cure the cousin's hot temper.

An Xinyue on the side looked at Fu Rongrong's expression, and naturally she could guess one or two, and looked at Xun Xuan with a smile: "It turns out that Miss Fu is ...... her."

She likes Ann Mingbo!

The latter words were not said by An Xinyue, but the two of them already knew it in their hearts.

"This ...... Presumably Miss Xun who solved the problem of the imperial examination today, right? As he was talking, several rich sons came forward with folding fans and wanted to talk to Xun Xuan.

Xun Xuan smiled and was about to speak, when a joking voice suddenly came from behind her: "Miss Xun is so talented, this king is too late, let others take the lead." ”

This voice seemed to be a joke at first glance, but it vaguely gave people an irresistible sense of oppression, which made several rich sons present couldn't help but retreat.

Xun Xuan twisted her eyebrows, and suddenly had a headache, who would dare to be so arrogant except Jing Ying?

"A few sons, Ah Zhi is missing!"

As soon as the sons saw someone claiming to be the king, they knew that the opponent was not easy to provoke, so they naturally did not force it, and they dispersed.

Xun Xuan turned around with a smile and saluted Jing Ying lightly: "Lord Wang!" ”

"No need to be polite!" Jing Ying immediately stretched out her hand, and her warm palm gently touched Xun Xuan's cool fingers.

Xun Xuan seemed to be electrocuted, and subconsciously took a few steps back, in front of the public, is Zhao Wang Jingying crazy? Deliberately slighted her in front of so many people?

"What? Are you afraid that this king will not be able to eat you? Jing Ying raised her eyebrows, and the sense of oppression on her body made An Xinyue and Fu Rongrong on the side dare not raise their heads.

This King Zhao's momentum is not angry and self-authoritative, and he clearly has a hippie smiling face, but it can make the people around him respect, this kind of momentum that belongs to the superior is not something that can be cultivated overnight.

"Lord Wang......" Xun Xuan looked at Jing Ying with cold eyes, as if to warn him not to cross her bottom line.

Jing Ying hooked her lips and smiled evilly, her handsome face was a little warm, and the women around her were intoxicated, wishing that she was the woman who was looked at by King Zhao.

For a while, Xun Xuan only felt like a mang on her back, as if there were countless knife-like eyes scratching her back, which made her very uncomfortable.

Xun Xuan was about to get out of Jing Ying's side, when more than a dozen slaves suddenly ran out of the side, each holding a potted plant in his hand.

What's going on? In previous years, the second item should be calligraphy, how can it be replaced with bonsai?

There are 12 items in the assessment of Fengming Academy, namely poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, cooking, dance, tea cooking, flowers, arithmetic, and martial arts.

The ladies only need to choose six of them for assessment, and if they can successfully pass, they can officially enter Fengming Academy to study.

Although there are twelve, some of them belong to rare projects, and most of the ladies have only heard of them, but very few people really study them, such as arithmetic and martial arts, and basically no one chooses them.

Usually more tests are poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and embroidery, which are the most common and the most exposed to ordinary women.

This year's poetry club didn't know what the situation was, but it changed the habit of assessing the first six items in previous years, and instead assessed the flowers, which really stumped a large number of young ladies present.

"Those who can do it can go up! This is a new addition this year. Duan Yanxi announced loudly.

Xun Xuan turned around and glanced at Jing Ying, and said respectfully: "If the prince has nothing else to do, the people will retreat first." ”

"Don't forget, how you got to where you are today." Jing Ying suddenly reminded in a cold voice, and her tone was no longer like Fang Cai's ridicule, but a real threat.

He's threatening her? What did she do to make him so upset?

Xun Xuan was puzzled, so she simply stopped thinking about it, and walked straight to the potted area.

Here, An Xuehan saw Xun Xuan go up, and hurriedly followed.

"The second sister also went up, she won't embarrass Cousin Xun again, right?" An Anyue said with some concern.

Fu Rongrong twisted her eyebrows, and she was a little uneasy in her heart, after all, An Xuehan was thoughtful, and she had always regarded Xun Zhi as a thorn in her side, even if she couldn't get benefits, she would definitely pull Xun Zhi into the water, and this person couldn't prevent it at all.

The poetry in the last game was all due to Xun Xuan's quick thinking to get out of trouble, and I don't know what tricks An Xuehan is going to play this time.

"Let's take a look. It's okay, Ah Zhi is so smart, she must think of a way to deal with it. Fu Rongrong was relieved.

Although the flower is not as enthusiastic as the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, there are also some famous ladies who have been trained since childhood.

The flowers and plants in the potted plants are all growing vigorously in this season, Xun Xuan chose a pot of triangular plum, picked up the scissors on the side and pruned it.

Xun Xuan stayed in the palace for seven years, in addition to the calculation and competition in the palace, sometimes it was really boring to the point of making people crazy, and after a long time, Xun Xuan learned to make grass with flowers, which was also the only fun in her lonely years.

Compared with the slightly blunt movements of the rest of the people, Xun Xuan is very quick and dexterous, and at first glance it is pruning all year round, and she is a person who understands flowers.

However, after half a cup of tea, Xun Xuan had already pruned a multi-tower potted plant, which was the fastest and most effective among several people.

The rest of the ladies looked at their potted plants, and then at Xun Xuan's, and knew that there was no comparison, so they simply stopped being embarrassed and went down separately.

Duan Yanxi stepped forward at this time, only glanced at the finished product, and couldn't help but admire: "Miss Xun's talent is unexpected, I'm really curious, is there anything in the world that Miss Xun doesn't understand?" ”

Xun Xuan pursed her lips and smiled, and said humbly: "This is a multi-tower pattern, now the beginning of autumn, the sunshine is getting shorter, and the polygonal plum is in the flowering period, I can only maintain the prosperity of a few days in a hurry today, presumably the flower branches will wither in a few days." ”

"This ...... How so? "This flower was borrowed by Duan Yanxi cheekily from Mr. Song Yue, if he dies in a few days, why does the old man Song Yue have to settle accounts with him?

Xun Xuan was indifferent, and secretly said that Duan Yanxi himself was not a person who understood flowers, but he had to be vassally elegant, and he was not asking for trouble by holding this flower competition?

"Flowers bloom and fall sometimes, Duan Gongzi doesn't have to worry, after the flowers are gone, thin the branches, cut off the dead branches, weak branches, and inner hall branches as appropriate, and cut off the top tips of the retained branches at nine inches, and at the same time cut all the side branches short to promote the emergence of new branches and the formation of more flower buds." Xun Xuan's explanation is already dedicated, but it's a pity that Duan Yanxi is a layman, and what he said is in vain.

But it doesn't matter, even if Duan Yanxi doesn't understand, the owner of this flower naturally understands.

"This flower has been planted for some years, I am afraid that there are often fallen leaves and withering, please tell the owner of the flower, this pot is too small, which restricts the growth of flower roots, and you can change to a larger pot in the spring of the next year." Xun Xuan's words were a kind reminder.

Unexpectedly, Song Yue, the owner of this flower, happened to be watching around here, and when he heard Xun Xuan say this, he suddenly realized that he understood, and he couldn't help but marvel in his heart, this girl ...... At a young age, he actually knows more than him!

"I understand, thank you Miss Xun for reminding me, I will definitely tell the flower owner on my behalf." Although Duan Yanxi didn't understand the previous words, he did understand the last sentence, didn't he just change the basin and turn around and tell Song Yue that old man.

Xun Xuan's failure to make a splash this time has already attracted the eyes and jealousy of most of the people around her, even many men who claim to be talented have a feeling of being willing to bow down.

An Xuehan had been silently watching Xun Xuan's every move, and it was not until this moment that she had to admit that Xun Zhi was really powerful, as if there was nothing in the world that she couldn't do.

This thought instantly occupied An Xuehan's mind, making her feel a deep sense of frustration, and at the same time, the jealousy of Xun Xuan in her heart had reached the point of almost madness.

"Miss Xun, please!" Xun Xuan was treated as a guest by Duan Yanxi, but he directly ignored An Xuehan's behavior on the side, but he completely touched the string in An Xuehan's heart.
