Chapter 444: Coming out on top
Several "judges" were full of comments on these flowers and plants, but they didn't think so in their hearts. Because there were no amazing varieties for them, it was the "Erqiao" chrysanthemums and "cinnabar purple robes" brought by Yu Xiaocao, regardless of the variety and quality, which made several people's eyes shine. It's a pity that the two pots are not used for the competition.
However, the souvenirs and colorful heads are used as such precious flowers and plants, does that mean that the flowers she brought to the competition will be more precious? The experts of flowers and plants are faintly looking forward to it.
Finally, Yu Xiaocao put the last pot of flowers and plants she brought in front of the judges.
"This ...... Is this a lotus petal orchid? No, it's ...... It combines the characteristics of the three high-quality orchids of lotus petal, plain heart and leaf grass! I've lived most of my life, and I've never seen a bluegrass like this, could it be a new variety? "Du Wenli, a flower master who is best at orchid tasting and thinks she has never seen any kind of orchid, almost didn't put her head on the flower pot.
In the delicate flower pot, an orchid quietly blooms, and among the slender leaves, a flower as white as jade, like an elegant lady, shows a delicate smile. Among the lotus-like petals, the pale green meridians are as tender as newborn children......
Mei Fanghua, another master of flowers and plants, also praised: "This is definitely the best among the lotus petals." Look at this flower, the length and width ratio are equal, the petals are hooked, the shape of the peach, and the ruyi tongue, no hemp shell lotus petal can be compared! It also superimposes chitina hearts! It can be described as 'heavenly craftsmanship without carving, clear water out of hibiscus'! ”
"Yes, Mrs. Mei's achievement in appreciating orchids has reached a new level, congratulations!" Du Wenli can be regarded as meeting a like-minded bosom friend, she pointed to this orchid and said, "Look at a few faint bits on this drawing board, which can highlight the beauty of the orchid, just like a beauty in the Tang Dynasty, with clear lines, fullness, and natural beauty." Each flower blooms, like five fairy peaches hanging high on the branches, which is coveted......"
Peach? Yu Xiaocao leaned over and took a look, isn't the shape of each petal like a peach? The imagination of these masters of flowers and plants is also rich enough. This Master Du must be a potential foodie! The godmother said that Master Du is one of her friends, and when the peaches are ripe next year, she will inevitably give her a ......
Just as she was in a fugue, she was suddenly pulled back by Master Du's call. Du Wenli looked at this little girl with big eyes and no longer knowing where to go, chuckled, and said in her heart: Mrs. Fang's goddaughter is really interesting, and in such an important occasion, it is too empty to travel. Is she too confident, or does she not care about this flower fight at all?
"Miss Yu, do you have a name for this pot of orchids?" Mrs. Du coughed lightly twice, and when she saw that the little girl's attention was finally on herself, she asked softly.
Yu Xiaocao smiled at her and said, "This orchid, my godmother said that its flowers, leaves, and fragrance are clear, colorful, clear, and rhyme." It also has the characteristics of one lotus, two elements, and three strange, and is clean and elegant, so it is named 'Suguan Lotus Ding'. ”
"Suguan Heding? A good name, which is in line with the characteristics of this lotus petal orchid!! This Suguan lotus tripod has a beautiful posture and is incomparably strange, which can be called the best among orchids! I don't know where Mrs. Fang got it from? Mrs. May was full of praise for the name of the orchid, and she was extremely envious of Mrs. Fang's good luck.
Mrs. Fang loved orchids when she was in her boudoir, and Mrs. Xia at that time was also used to her, and she did not hesitate to buy a lot of treasures in orchids. After marrying General Fang, she has nothing to do for nearly 20 years after marriage, and she put all her efforts on orchids. General Fang is all over the world to help her collect rare orchids, every time her family holds a flower appreciation party, it is really eye-opening, and it is really hard to find.
Unexpectedly, she hadn't seen her for half a year, and she got such a superb orchid again. The preciousness of this orchid is that I am afraid that all her previous orchids together may not be able to match its value.
There was no suspense, and the "Suguan Lotus Ding" brought by Yu Xiaocao won the first place in the Douhua Club. Li Meilan was very unconvinced, but in the face of the praise of several flower and herb masters, although her face was not very good, she did not raise objections with brains.
In order to show her face at this flower party, Li Meilan pestered her mother to borrow a pot of famous camellia from Mrs. Feng, who is also a flower and plant family. It is conceivable that a person who loves flowers so much, how can he be willing to lend the most precious flowers and plants? However, even the most inconspicuous pot in Mrs. Feng's house, among a group of half-hung little girls who collect flowers and plants, is enough to stand out from the crowd.
But it backfired, a little peasant girl who didn't know where to get out of it, actually brought a pot of new varieties that even the masters of flowers and plants had never seen, and this new variety happened to be the rarest of orchids. The feeling of being cut off by someone is really a wretch!
When Li Meilan handed in the lottery, she said angrily: "This pot of precious orchid grass is not your personal collection, what is there to be proud of if you win?" I didn't expect you to be so utilitarian, and you actually took the treasure of the orchid master Mrs. Fang, it is really a victory! ”
As soon as her words fell, Yu Xiaocao didn't say anything, and several ladies had already changed their faces. There are more than 20 little girls here, how many of them really know how to love flowers? Most of them are for fun, and they just participate in the Douhua Club as a party. Most of them came from relatives, friends or elders, or begged or borrowed good varieties, and they liked what they liked, and they wanted to say a few words in front of the county lord of Minglan to win her favor. Now this layer of fig leaf was suddenly torn apart, and his face suddenly felt hot.
The ladies have different personalities, some of them endured their anger and were secretly annoyed, while some of them were as if they were ignited by a cannonball, and they had a seizure on the spot: "Li Meirou, what do you mean?" Are you embarrassed to talk about others? Where did you get this pot of 'Flower Crane Feathers' from? Do you still need me to say it? ”
"Yesterday, your aunt went to Mrs. Feng's house, went in empty-handed, and came out with an extra flower pot in her hand. I've known you for so many years, and I've never seen you have any interest in flowers and plants, and suddenly I took out a pot of precious camellias, and it was after your aunt visited Madame Feng, the master of camellias. What do you say? Another little girl also took the opportunity to reveal her old secret.
Li Meirou originally only targeted Yu Xiaocao's girl, but she didn't expect that she would attract public outrage. Facing the backlash of her former friends, she suddenly turned red, as if someone else had bullied her, and choked up:
"You ...... Why are you talking for that stinky girl? Could it be that a piece of handmade soap, a small recipe for skin care, bought you? Or did you see that you could benefit from her, so you turned your back on our friendship......"
When she said this, she offended people even more. According to her, everyone here has become a villain with a strong sense of utilitarianism and praising high and low!
Lord Minglan glared at her, gave her a hint to shut up, and then came out to play a round and said, "What Miss Li said, everyone has known each other for many years, what kind of temperament can you not know?" Besides, this bucket of flowers will just have fun, just find a reason for everyone to get together. Where did the flowers come from, and to whom did they belong in the first place? Does it matter? However, today I have opened my eyes, it turns out that I have never seen so many flower treasures, and I have indeed gained a long knowledge. In the future, if this kind of flower party blooms a few more times, maybe we can all become proficient in flowers and plants! ”
After receiving the warning from the county lord of Minglan, Li Meirou didn't dare to show it no matter how aggrieved she was. If you disturb the county lord's party, I am afraid that it will be difficult for her to have a place in the circle of nobles in Beijing in the future. With a smile on her face, Li Meirou accompanied the ladies present with a smile. It's just that Yu Xiaocao was ignored intentionally or unintentionally.
The little girl's childish tricks, Yu Xiaocao didn't pay attention to them at all, and sat at the main table with peace of mind, chatting happily with Yuan Xueyan, who was interested in Suguan Heding.
"Sister Yuan, if you like it, when the orchids are divided, give one to my sister!" This pot of Suguan Lotus Ding was divided from the famous product given to the godmother two years ago, but at the beginning it was said that it was borrowed from the godmother, so it was naturally not good to change the word and give it away, and only promised to give it away when it was divided in the coming year.
Yuan Xueyan really likes this pot of noble and elegant orchids, which is very in line with her temperament. However, the preciousness of this crown can be glimpsed from the evaluation and envious tone of Master Du and Mrs. Mei. Today is just the first time we have met, although we have a similar temperament and have a good conversation, but she is really embarrassed to accept such a valuable gift.
He Wanning on the side saw the concerns in her heart, and said quickly: "Sister Xiaocao, this precious orchid must be your godmother's treasure." You are so generous to promise to give out the branches, don't you need to ask your godmother? What if she had other arrangements? ”
Li Meirou, who was at the next table, had been holding her ears, just waiting to grab Yu Xiaocao's handle, where would she let go of such a good opportunity? sneered, pouted, and said, "Some people! In order to tie up with the prime minister's daughter, he also let go! If Mrs. Fang knows that she is her goddaughter, then her own treasure is a favor, I don't know what kind of mood it is? Dog meat can't be attached to sheep, and some people just rush to get up, and they can't change the fact that they are from a low background! ”
Who is dog meat and who is sheep? Yuan Xueyan frowned slightly: How did this right servant of the ministry educate his daughter, he didn't go through his brain before he spoke, he acted too recklessly, his mind was narrow, and his vision was shallow. Such a person is also considered a famous lady?
Li Meirou didn't expect that she originally wanted to squeeze Yu Xiaocao and pat the prime minister's daughter at the same time. Unexpectedly, the horse's fart was slapped on the horse's leg, and Miss Yuan was listed as one of the unsociable objects. It's really more than worth the loss.
Yu Xiaocao rolled her eyes, and in Yuan Xueyan's concerned gaze, she said saltily: "Whether I can call the shots of this Suguan Lotus Ding, I don't care about Miss Li." It's just that some people take great pains to borrow famous flowers, and they don't know how to take care of them at all, if they get frostbite or frostbite, they are afraid that they won't be able to pay it back, right? ”
