Li Meirou noticed that the displeased gaze of the county lord of Minglan swept over her, and felt that she could not lose in momentum, so she said loudly: "All of you here, your fathers and ancestors have made achievements, and you have a place in the court. How dare you compare yourself to us with a farming background? ”

Yu Xiaocao's eyes widened, looking at Li Meirou, making her feel that she had nothing to hide, and then said slowly: "You also said, that is the achievements of your father and ancestors, what capital do you have to be proud of?" Can you solve problems for the emperor? Or can it work for the benefit of the people? If not, who are you to look down on? ”

Li Meirou was speechless for a while, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials was in the third grade, in this small circle, except for He Wanning's occasional sentence that made people speechless, no one really spoke to her so unceremoniously. All of a sudden, his mouth trembled with anger, and his eyes gradually turned red.

As one of the four talented women, Wu Lingyun didn't seem to be able to see it, and stepped forward and said: "Sister Li is just a little embarrassed in her heart because of the misunderstanding before, and she blurted out in a hurry, why should Lord Yu be aggressive?" ”

Aggressive? She? Is there any mistake? Protection shouldn't be so obvious, right? Yu Xiaocao's mouth has always been unforgiving, besides, she is not ready to rush to slap them, why swallow her anger, you make me uncomfortable, don't think about it.

What Miss Wu said was a bit biased! Since entering the door, have I ever said that I am a girl from the left waiter of the ministry? The surname Yu must be his family? Miss Li misunderstood, there is nothing in this book, so why bother to talk about people's origins in anger? According to what Miss Wu said, no matter how ugly it is, I should admit it? Could it be that when someone else slaps me, not only can I not hide, but I have to stretch my face over and let my dignity be trampled on? This is the way to get along with the ladies in Beijing? If that's the case, I'm the wrong one to come to this flower fight!! ”

As she spoke, she slowly stood up, her sharp gaze swept over a few girls who were obviously not too busy to see the excitement, and then swept over the faces of Wu Lingyun and Li Meirou, and finally fixed on the county lord of Minglan. Moving a few steps, Xiaocao said unapologetically on his face: "I disturbed the county lord's flower party, it was really unintentional and helpless, this pot of 'Er Qiao' should be regarded as Xiaocao's apology to the county lord." He Chun......"

He Chun stepped forward, put on a bun face, handed over the flower pot he was holding, and uncovered the cloth towel on it, revealing a yellow and purple chrysanthemum.

The lord of Minglan County, who has always loved chrysanthemums, kept his words of consolation, but forgot everything because of this peerless chrysanthemum. Among the turquoise leaves, a chrysanthemum blooms vigorously, with layers of petals, which are divided into distinct yellow and purple from the center. Half yellow is bright, half purple is bright, and there is a small flower bone next to it, which is also half purple and half yellow, as if a shy little sister, hiding behind her sister, looking at everyone shyly.

"This ...... This is the legendary 'Copper Bird Spring Deep Lock Er Qiao', a chrysanthemum blooms, and the flower is divided into two halves' 'Two Qiao'? Where did Miss Yu get such a precious variety? You know, in order to pursue this legendary bicolor chrysanthemum, I pestered my father and brothers to ask around for it, but they were all disappointed and returned......"

The rumors are true, the lord of Minglan is a person who is obsessed with Aiju, and when he saw this precious "Er Qiao", there was no other person or thing in his eyes.

Just now, her identity was announced At the moment when the room was full of ladies and shows, only the "Shuangshu" and the lord of Minglan County on the main table did not show a contemptuous look. Combined with the temperament of the county lord of Minglan that Yu Xiaocao learned from her godmother, she had no ill feelings towards this county lord who was favored by her father and brother and had a little childishness in her coolness.

Hearing this, she glanced at the other ladies meaningfully, especially giving Li Meirou a provocative look, Yu Xiaocao said slowly: "My hometown, with the mountains and the sea at my back." A valley in the mountains, surrounded by mountains, with a warm climate that is inaccessible to people. My brother and I stumbled upon this place, where all kinds of exotic flowers and plants grow. This bicolor chrysanthemum comes from here. I learned from my godmother that it was the well-known 'Er Qiao', so I took it to Beijing and raised it in the conservatory of the General's Mansion......"

"People often say: treasures come out of the mountains, and that's true. The flowers and plants that have been artificially propagated seem to have lost some spirituality, and only these flowers in the proud mountains and forests are more interesting. Hearing Miss Yu say this, I want to go to that valley to see! The lord of Minglan can't put down this pot of "Er Qiao".

Thinking that this pot of "Er Qiao" was brought by Miss Yu to participate in the flower fight, before it started, people left the table angrily, and gave her such a precious famous product. If she says it, she, the master, will inevitably say something inconsiderate.

The county lord of Minglan reluctantly instructed his girl: "This 'Er Qiao' is the flower of the young lady in General Zhaoyong's mansion, and send it to the greenhouse quickly, so as not to suffer frostbite and flowers." ”

Yu Xiaocao was about to say something, but she stopped her and said: "People say: If you don't fight, you don't know each other, and it is inevitable that there will be a mistake between the little girls." You two, for my sake, will you expose it today? ”

Although Li Meirou was not angry in her heart, she didn't dare not give the county lord of Minglan this face. The fathers of the family are the princes of Yipin Town, and several elder brothers also hold important positions in the army, and their achievements are impressive. The title of the county lord of Minglan was earned by his father and brother with military exploits. If you disturb the county lord's Douhua Club, I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter the gate of the Guogong Mansion in the future......

Between her thoughts, she forcibly held back the resentment in her heart, held up a fake smile, and said to Yu Xiaocao: "There is a misunderstanding, Miss Yu doesn't have to take it to heart." This is her maximum concession, if she really apologizes to a girl with mud legs, how will she mix in the circle in the future?

Yu Xiaocao pouted invisibly, the face of the county lord of Minglan still has to be given, it seems that it can't be done, so let's stay! Anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and she will take it.

Looking around, she saw He Wanning waving at her, and walked towards the main table where she was sitting. Seeing that there were only He Wanning, who was dressed in red, and Yuan Xueyan, who was dressed in white, sitting down at the main table.

I don't know which lady is beautiful, so she said sourly: "That table is either the daughter of a first-class master, or the grandson of the royal family, or it has the title of county lord." Even the daughter of the third-grade master didn't have the cheekiness to come up, why was she sitting there? ”

Seeing the demeanor of "Er Qiao" today, the lord of Minglan is in a good mood. Listening to the obviously provocative words of this lady, she glanced at it lightly, a little warning.

And Yuan Xueyan, who was sitting at the main table and had not spoken for a long time, said in a cold voice: "When it comes to qualifications, this room is full of people, in addition to the county lord's grade, there is also Miss Yu's official residence of the sixth grade." Although the six-rank official is inconspicuous in the court, the fathers and brothers of many people here are not much higher than this. She is the main table and is the most qualified. ”

The so-called "Four Talented Women" father and brother's highest grade is only the fifth grade, which is only two levels higher than Yu Xiaocao's sixth grade. In front of a room of daughters of two and three grades, they were only invited by virtue of their talents. Otherwise, with the young lady of the five-grade official family who grabbed a lot of money all over the street, she would not have fallen into the eyes of the county lord of Minglan. As soon as the "cold beauty" Yuan Xueyan said it, the four of them suddenly blushed and lowered their heads.

Seeing that the county lord of Minglan and the leaders of the three famous ladies, "Shuangshu", all have a lot of maintenance for Yu Xiaocao, and the people who want to find trouble at the bottom have also quieted down. However, the gaze that comes over from time to time is not very friendly.

"Thank you Miss Yuan for your help, Xiaocao replaced the wine with tea, and toasted Miss Yuan with a cup." Yu Xiaocao picked up the teacup and took a big sip.

The corners of Yuan Xueyan's mouth hooked up slightly, which was regarded as a smile back to her, and she also took a shallow sip of tea. Putting down the cup, she said softly: "Yu Jian is my grandfather's closed disciple, and our two families are also quite related. Grandpa praised your brother a lot, saying that his talent for reading was comparable to that of my father's childhood. Don't bully young people into poverty, the truth of a noble son from a poor family is not something that everyone can understand. ”

Her voice wasn't loud, enough for everyone in the Pavilion to hear. can make Yuan Daru compare with his most promising son, thinking that this young man must be extraordinary! This Yu Xiaocao looks like she is only in her teens, and her younger brother is even younger, so she can let Yuan Daru be accepted as a closed disciple, and in the future, regardless of her future and connections, she will be first-class.

Most of the ladies were secretly glad in their hearts that they did not show obvious hostility and ill feelings towards Yu Xiaocao. The exchanges between the ladies in Beijing are actually the epitome of the interpersonal relations between officials. At the very least, even if they can't help their father and brother, don't cause trouble for them.

Yu Xiaocao obviously felt that the gaze that fell on him was a little less contemptuous and more kind. She nodded gratefully at Yuan Xueyan and said, "Dean Yuan has taken care of his brother, and Xiaocao is very grateful in her heart. I'm going to visit ...... another day."

"Miss Yu is so polite! A few years ago, my grandfather returned to Beijing from Tanggu. He admires your craftsmanship and remembers your snacks. You must know that if Miss Yu came to visit, Grandpa must be very happy. Yuan Xueyan is also quite helpless about her grandfather with foodie attributes. Grandpa would have paid more attention in the early years, but now he is getting more and more naughty, and he doesn't know how many jokes he makes in order to eat. However, people took into account his identity and did not reveal it.

Thinking of the true temperament of Dean Yuan, the smile on Yu Xiaocao's face became a little sincere, and even the attitude towards Yuan Xueyan became closer.

He Wanning finally finished studying the clothes on Xiaocao's body, raised her eyes to see her blown-out skin, touched her face, sighed and said, "Sure enough, being young is the capital." Sister Yu's face was like a shelled egg, moist and smooth. My temperament, I can't squat at home, riding horses and archery outings...... Windswept and sun-dried, dry like old bark......"
