On weekdays, the ladies of each family have played grass fighting with their sisters or maids in the house, and they are all good at fighting martial arts.

However, the new gameplay of fighting grass at today's chrysanthemum meeting is much more difficult than the previous gameplay. Not to mention martial arts, even Wendou has never played such an elegant game.

This competition not only tests whether the chrysanthemum varieties that the ladies know are profound, but also requires everyone to understand some superficial poetry and literature. Only by having both can we barely fight against each other, which is undoubtedly more difficult.

"Red Agate!" Someone spoke first.

Then the ladies of the palace brought pen and paper to the ladies, so that they could write the names of the flowers.

"A handful of snow." The other lady continued.

"Yellow fragrant pear."

"Hmm...... Yellow warbler out of the valley! ”

……

The more than 20 aristocratic ladies present racked their brains to come up with questions and answers.

Lu Tang bit his lip lightly, it was a little difficult to be right, but he wrote it down smoothly.

Huang Jin'er gave up early, her big smart eyes were spinning, and she shook her head lightly to look around.

Wang Qiaojing and Liu Xueniang on the other side were both frowning, and they didn't know how much they were right.

After about a pillar of incense, the ladies from each province took turns to come up with a question, and they all answered it separately. The palace daughters received all the rice papers for answering the questions one by one, and handed them to Princess Changle and the ladies of various mansions to look at.

Princess Changle picked up one from the tray presented at random, and saw that it was written "red agate" vs. "green hydrangea", "a handful of snow" vs. "a little red", "black peony" vs. "white peony" and so on.

I looked at some of the other answers, and the more powerful ones came up with more than a dozen chrysanthemum names, and the inferior ones only came out with two or three. And these answers are different, some are neat, and some are making up random numbers, and I can't help laughing.

Seeing the ladies sitting next to each other looking at each other and confused, he couldn't help but smile and ordered the palace ladies to divide the ladies of each province to see these answers, and for a while, a low laughter came from Qi Fangting.

When the ladies heard this, their hearts became nervous, and they all hoped that others would answer less than themselves. In this case, even if you can't win the first prize in the end, it's not too embarrassing.

After a while, a big palace daughter in Tsing Yi walked over with a smile.

"The princess looked at the answer sheets of the young ladies, and judged Miss Chen San of the Chen Tong family, Miss Lu of the Lu Yushi family, and Miss Zhang of the old general's family The three answers were the best, and Miss Zhang's answer was the most brilliant, and she won the first place today." The palace maid saluted the young ladies.

The women listened to the whispers, but Zhang Yu was suddenly unconscious, and only stood brightly, waiting for the next words.

However, Huang Jin'er and the few little ladies were only confused, and they heard the princess praise Lu Tang's good answer, and they were immediately honored.

couldn't help but look at the little ladies on Wang Jingjing's side arrogantly, and felt that she was better than them again. Wang Jingjing, who was angry, stomped her feet fiercely, eager to come face to face and scold them to relieve their hatred.

In addition, a few little maids came over with rice paper and read their chrysanthemum names.

I only listened to Miss Chen San's answer to "red agate" vs. "green hydrangea", "a handful of snow" vs. "a little red", "yellow fragrant pear" vs. "pink peach", "white lotus" vs. "green ping" and other eighteen flower names.

Lu Tang knew that he had answered seventeen questions, which was roughly the same as that of Miss Chen San, only one "Yellow Oriole Out of the Valley" was not right, and that Miss Chen San was right about "Ziyan Shuangfei".

The little maid read it, and sure enough, there were only a few differences between "Red Agate" and "Green Coral", "White Lotus" and "Moju".

And when the other little girl finished reading the name of the chrysanthemum written by Zhang Yu, everyone was taken aback.

The Miss Zhang family actually answered all the more than 20 flower names.

Even several extremely difficult flower names such as "Rouge Bit Snow" and "Yaotai Jade Phoenix" are used in a few other little-known chrysanthemum names that have only been mentioned in ancient books, which shows that she has a deep attainment in flowers and poetry.

Lu Tang looked at the beauty who was clearly standing in the middle of everyone, but seemed to be isolated, and only felt a little sad for her, and seemed to feel lonely.

But she didn't seem to care, and still smiled brightly.

A woman is so wanton and chic, and she has the demeanor of a man!

Lu Tang looked at her, and only felt that his heart was beating like a drum again.

It's different, she's not the same as us.

It's not just more beautiful.

It's not just smarter.

…………

Princess Changle knew that Zhang Yu didn't like gold and jade jewelry like her daughter's family, so she specially rewarded her with a piece of old pit Tao Yan given by the emperor.

That Tao inkstone is extremely rare, the former dynasty celebrity Zhao Xihu once wrote in the "Dongtian Qinglu Collection": "In addition to the end and the two stones, only the Tao River greenstone, the most precious in the north." Green as blue, moist as jade, ink does not reduce the end of the stream under the rock. However, the stone is at the bottom of the deep water of the river, which is not caused by manpower, and it is a priceless treasure. ”

Everyone looked at the fine and crystalline inkstone, clear and beautiful, the stone pattern was like silk, like a wave rolling clouds, and like a green jade jade, and they couldn't help but be amazed.

And Princess Changle liked Miss Chen San's Bo Min and Lu Tang's intelligence, so she ordered each to be rewarded with a piece of jade pendant. Miss Chen San got a mutton fat white jade carved phoenix pendant, and Lu Tang got a piece of two-color tourmaline carved squirrel grape pendant.

Huang Jin'er and a few little ladies happily chattered around Lu Tang, playing with the tourmaline. I saw that Napei was carved on both sides, the periphery was light pink, and two squirrels were carved, with long tails, and their heads and tails were connected. The middle part is dark purple and carved with large and small grape beads. The back is carved with grape leaves and shady leaf veins. There are perforations on the upper part of the wear, two groups of silk ropes, rice beads and a green bead, which is very crystal lovely.

Lu Tang saw that this squirrel carving was very novel and childlike, and knew that it was Princess Changle who took pity on her young age.

Seeing that this pendant was even more rare and valuable than the mutton fat white jade pendant, he knew that the princess preferred herself.

She quietly pursed her lips and smiled, and did not hand it over to Pujia to put it away, but wore it directly on her skirt under the envious eyes of the women.

Princess Changle also ordered the ladies of each province to go to enjoy the chrysanthemums, and did not have to accompany herself and her husband.

The young ladies rejoiced and traveled with them to other parts of the house.

The princess's mansion is huge, and although Lu Tang has been here a few times before, he is not very familiar with it. The same is true for Huang Jin'er, Wang Qiaojing, and Liu Xueniang. So they made an appointment together, and were ready to go to the garden to admire the chrysanthemums, as most of the young ladies did.

The garden of the princess's mansion is made compared to the imperial garden in the palace, so it is very beautiful, and rare chrysanthemums from all over the world abound. There are also rare and precious varieties such as golden red big back, white-haired lion, purple dragon lying snow, etc.

A few little ladies strolled through it, only to feel fragrant, as if walking to the fairy world.

Lu Tang happily watched the chrysanthemums blooming on the left and right roads, and was suddenly attracted by the extremely beautiful Erqiao with a branch, and for a while he didn't even know that Huang Jin'er and the others around him had gone away.

I saw that the chrysanthemum was pink and white, with a shy white core in the middle, and the layers of petals on the side bloomed outward one by one, gradually rendering into a pale pink, like the shy and red cheeks of the little daughter.

She looked at it for a moment, and then couldn't help but reach out and stroke the beautiful and slender petals.

Before he could touch it, he was so frightened by a clear drink that he retracted his hand.

"Don't pick those flowers!"

The woman's voice was clear and clear, and it was heard far and wide in the garden.

Lu Tang's face suddenly turned red, and he only felt very aggrieved in his heart, and he felt twelve points of shame.

Look at the blooming Er Qiao in front of him, inexplicably there is a little bit of weakness that has been discovered after doing bad things.

Immediately bit his lip lightly, and shouted in shame: "I didn't have it!" ”

She said as she looked back at the person who had spoken.

But because he was half-squatting, he could only see a woman standing faintly among the flowers in the distance, and he couldn't see her face clearly.
