Looking at the table full of pearls about the same size, each bigger than a thumbnail cover, Zhu Junyang suddenly said: "These pearls can't be given to you by the little dragon girl you met, right?" ”

"If you think so, it's fine!" Yu Xiaocao pretended to smile mysteriously, in fact, she wanted to say in her heart: What the little dragon girl gave was still in her pocket, and she didn't dare to take it out, for fear that the pearls the size of small eggs would scare others.

The pearl diving competition was quite successful, and five or six pearls the size of a thumbnail were purchased, plus those purchased in Beijing, dotted with slightly smaller pearls, and it was enough to make a pearl crown. In addition, the purple pearl, which symbolizes luxury and grace, is inlaid in the center of the tiara, and the value of the entire headdress is raised again.

Anyway, when Princess Duan celebrated her birthday, she brought this gorgeous crown to the Quartet, which amazed the ladies in Beijing. What's even more enviable is that in addition to this crown, the palace also sent a red coral that is a full person high, with complete branches and a bright color like the morning glow, which is placed in the hall for people to see. There was a burst of tsk, and those clan wives praised Princess Duan for raising a good son who was filial.

Only Princess Duan and his wife have a mirror in their hearts, and this red coral ornament is obtained by Yu Xiaocao's girl diving. It's rare for this girl, she saw through fame and fortune at a young age, and secretly dedicated Coral Jin to the emperor in private, and gave away this priceless gift by the emperor's hand.

Princess Duan is even more curious about this little girl she has never met. A little girl from a peasant family, she doesn't have the slightest bit of childishness, and her bearing is even worse than that of the ladies in Beijing. Not to mention, her rejuvenating pharmaceutical skills. It is said that he learned from a barefoot doctor in the countryside, and he was not inferior to the methods of a medical family, or even slightly better, and even Duanwang's dilapidated body, under her care, was also recovering step by step.

From the little girl's single-handed medicine refining skills, it can be seen that her master should be a hidden medicine saint, and many people speculate that he is the descendant of the Medicine Valley who was destroyed by the previous dynasty. Legend has it that the disciples of the Medicine Valley can heal the flesh and bones of the dead, and have the art of resurrecting the dead and immortality. will be coveted by the emperor of the previous dynasty, which directly led to the destruction of the medicine valley.

The world speculates that there should be people who go out to practice in the Medicine Valley, but they are just low-key hidden in the mountains and forests, and their identities are not known to outsiders. As a result, Dr. You, who enlightened Xiaocao medicine, was rumored to be a hidden master. And his disciple Yu Xiaocao, although he only learned the surface of refining medicine and health preservation, is enough to be praised.

I have to say that the world's ability to replenish the brain is powerful. Xiaocao's cheating medicine and medicinal diet were all explained by them, and she spent a lot less words.

At Princess Duan's birthday banquet, Yu Xiaocao adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile and only gave the princess a set of hand-made beauty cream. The seats are also arranged among the familiar little girls, among whom there are also little girls who don't have much contact on weekdays, but they are familiar with each other, and they get along quite well.

In the circle of ladies in Beijing, although there are occasional sour words, most of them are good evaluations of Xiaocao. She is said to be kind, easy to get along with, generous to her friends she identifies, and very good at organizing fresh parties. Compared with those cliché tea parties and flower parties, picking fruits, hunting, and catching the sea...... For those ladies who have a single entertainment activity, it couldn't be fresher.

At the birthday banquet, Liang Jiahui, the granddaughter of Taifu, saw that Xiaocao looked very talkative, so she asked tentatively: "Miss Yu, I heard that the fruits in your orchard are about to reach the ripening season." I wonder if you're going to have an orchard party this year? ”

King Sa's youngest daughter, Zhu Yan'er, is a snacker, and when she heard this, she finally stopped her chopsticks, raised her head, and the starlight in her eyes was shining, and her expression was self-evident. In the past, she had only heard of this Shenlong who could not see the end of the dragon, and thought that Xiaocao was a person who was difficult to approach.

As soon as I got in touch today, I realized that she is a kind and interesting person. The delicacies in her mouth and the interesting seaside anecdotes made the little girl yearn for it, and she only hated that she had met her too late and didn't make it to the seaside party. However, it shouldn't be too late now, and the next orchard party should have your own, right?

Because of the identity of the lord of Xiaocao, the ladies at this table are either royal relatives or the daughters and granddaughters of the Yipin family, and they are usually a little arrogant. However, after listening to He Wanning's story of seaside shellfish picking, undersea exploration, and pearl diving competition, they all yearned for it. It turns out that a girl's life can be so colorful.

Especially when I heard Xiaocao say that the third place in the pearl diving competition was actually a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, I felt that maybe being born in a fisherman's family and living an unrestrained life was much more interesting than being confined to the family every day to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

However, the freedom in their eyes is nothing more than a means of struggling to earn a living in a poor life for the fishermen's girls. In the eyes of fisherwomen, their proud women these days are the ones who should be envied. Zi Fei Fish, how envious of Anzhi Fish?

At Princess Duan's birthday banquet, Yu Xiaocao's circle of friends was further expanded. The daughter of King Sa, the granddaughter of Taifu, and the granddaughter of Zongzheng...... When it was time for the party, their brothers came uninvited, so the orchard gathering in the autumn more than doubled in size compared to last year, and the small animals in the back mountains were so frightened that they did not dare to come out, and the prey caught by the traps and traps set was much less than last year. If it weren't for Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, the barbecue party in the orchard might not have enough ingredients to open!

The days were calm and flowed away. Xiaocao has been in the limelight in the past two years, and he is not tossing any new ways to make money. However, her pharmacy, beauty club, and greenhouse vegetables and fruits are enough to make people greedy.

Autumn goes to winter, spring goes to summer. Whether it is the royal breeding base or the super farm of the Tang Guyu family, they have all obtained fruitful fruits. Winter wheat seeds have been able to meet the planting of more than 10 state capitals in the north, and corn has been widely cultivated in the northeast and northwest, known as the northwest of "ten years and nine famines", because of the introduction of high-yield corn seeds, the people finally have a little surplus grain on the basis of being able to fill their stomachs.

Just when the 20,000 acres of Yujia Tanggu's farm began to take shape, it ushered in the small grass and the ceremony. Originally, Xiaocao meant that it was enough to have a meal with the family in Dongshan Village and make a big cake to eat. But her godmother and the king of Yangjun are unwilling!

Needless to say, Zhu Junyang finally had an opportunity to be honest and courteous, how could he miss it? According to his wishes, the bigger and grander it is, the better.

Mrs. Fang also means this, in previous years, she participated in other people's gifts, and I don't know how many gifts she sent, and finally had the opportunity to let her do it for her daughter, of course, she will not let go of this opportunity to earn gifts!

The good sisters of Xiaocao also followed along with their ideas. Don't look at Xiaocao, who has been in Beijing for several years, but he has a black eye for all kinds of etiquette and etiquette. In addition, the godmother came to her house several months in advance and discussed with her how to arrange it here, and how to put a flower pot there. Let her have one head and two big - I miss the days when I had a birthday in my previous life, I took it to the meal, and people got everything.

That's right! In her previous life, everyone wanted to save trouble, and they could do this, why couldn't she? Doesn't she have a friend who is the owner of the Treasure House? If this banquet is done, maybe it will bring new business opportunities to Zhenyulou!!

So, she invited Wednesday Shao, who was in Beijing, and roughly explained her thoughts. What the? And the ceremony should be held in the treasure house? Turn the entire third floor into a hall where the ceremony is held? One-stop service with a ceremonial belt and a banquet?

This idea is indeed very fresh, and Wednesday, who has always had the courage to try, did not think much about it. There are less than two months left before Xiaocao's ceremony, and Wednesday has put down everything and is mainly busy with this matter.

When Mrs. Fang heard that her goddaughter was going to hold her most important fifteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony in the restaurant, although she disagreed with it in her heart, Xiaocao insisted, and she had no choice but to back down. However, in the decoration and furnishings of the hall on the third floor, she was more attentive than repairing and decorating the house herself, and she had to ponder almost every ornament for a long time.

With the help of Mrs. Fang, an expert, Zhou Shao was more confident in the success of the Helu Hall and the Helu Banquet. In addition, Xiaocao's valuable friends helped to give advice. The layout of the hall on the entire third floor was carried out in an orderly manner, and the progress was fast and smooth.

A few days before the ceremony, when Xiaocao was invited to accept the results on Wednesday, a luxurious but elegant, simple but atmospheric hall was presented in front of Mrs. Fang and Xiaocao.

Every curtain in the hall is top-notch in terms of ornamentation and texture, and even the pendants on it are embellished with pearls or gemstones (these are all sponsored by King Yangjun). The furnishings on the Bogu shelves are genuine antiques, and the calligraphy and paintings on the walls are also treasures of celebrities. Even the ground is cut and polished from the limestone transported back from Dali. The marble floor is as smooth as a mirror, and the patterns on it are like natural ink landscape paintings...... In short, the whole hall is more exquisite and chic than the couple's flower hall.

As for the banquet, not to mention! In addition to all the signature dishes of Zhen Yu Lou, Xiaocao also specially provided five or six new dishes. This time, the dishes are mainly Cantonese cuisine, including: barbecued pork with honey sauce, shark fin stewed with vegetable gall, bird's nest with coconut milk rock sugar, unicorn sea bass, shrimp with salt and pepper, pineapple grunt pork, and mandarin duck crab. The chefs of each branch of Zhen Yu Lou, led by Chef Wang, volunteered to gather together and learn to practice in full swing, striving to be a blockbuster at the banquet.
