A day later, the stone took all the washed pear blossoms.

"You go and prepare some wine, about three jars. ”

"So many?" said the stone in disbelief.

"Go, go, go. Su Xiao urged.

After the stone brought the wine, Su Xiao soaked all the pear blossoms into the wine, then sealed them, and buried all the three jars of wine under the pear blossom tree, only to take them out after three months, and then they could be drunk.

Su Xiao didn't go to the snow garden again these days, but ate in the pear garden, read the picture book, and made wine, so he was not leisurely, and Yuhua didn't let the little guy come over to shout and eat, but I heard that Yuhua was not in the house these days.

Soon, half a month has passed, and Su Xiaohua has not learned this half a month, but this wine jar is about to fill the entire pear orchard under the trees.

"Tomorrow is the day of the competition, what does the county lord want to wear?" Shi asked someone to bring in a lot of clothes for Su Xiao to choose.

"Whatever, just be fresh and elegant. "Su Xiao doesn't care at all, he feels that he will be eliminated at all, and he doesn't want to do anything useless.

"County master, this minion has a small vision, in case you pick something you don't like, it's not good. ”

Su Xiao could only get up from her seat leisurely, looked at the clothes in front of her, and finally chose a lilac large-sleeved gauze skirt.

"Stone, can the national teacher be in the house?" Su Xiao remembered that he hadn't been to the Snow Garden for a long time, and he still missed Yuhua a little.

"Back to the county lord, in the past half a month, the national teacher has been busy building the county lord's mansion for you. ”

"Isn't there just a worker?"

"The slave didn't know that it was the emperor who asked the national teacher to personally supervise the construction. Naturally, Shi Xiao would not say to Su Xiao that the last time he was going to stay in the snow garden, the emperor's face was half dark, and he didn't think about it, and within a few days, the national teacher was called to stare at the county lord's mansion.

Su Xiao only thinks that the decoration of the county lord's mansion depends on feng shui, this country has a national teacher, it is not for nothing, it is also good, and the family will be peaceful in the future, there is no need to worry.

"Can the county lord think about how to deal with Ming'er's game?"

"Not yet, if it comes, it will be safe. Su Xiao is not in a hurry, he will draw some casually tomorrow, but if he wants to make a fool of himself, he will not be very happy.

Soon another day passed, this day was the day of the competition, Su Xiao got up early in the morning, got into the carriage, and set off from the National Teacher's Mansion to the Imperial Palace Garden.

At the gate of the palace, I met Nalan Yun.

Seeing Su Xiao, Nalan Yun hurriedly followed: "I've seen the county lord." ”

Su Xiao flicked his hand, signaling that Nalan Yun didn't need to be polite, and then he was expressionless and planned to pull the stone away from Nalan Yun quickly.

However, Nalan Yun has always been a person with little eyesight, and when she saw Su Xiao's pace speeding up, she also followed up, and said in her mouth: "The county lord is in such a hurry, don't you want to see the national teacher?"

Su Xiao thought that your question was a bit straightforward, Su Xiao couldn't say that it was to avoid Nalan Yun, so he could only admit: "That's right, the posture of the national teacher immortal, if you look at it twice, you already feel that it is intriguing." ”

"I heard that the county lord has been staying in the National Teacher's Mansion for the past few days, Yun'er is really envious!"

"The pear orchard of the National Teacher's Mansion is really a quiet place, and the mansion of the county lord has not yet been built, so it is no regret to be taken care of by the National Teacher. He also showed a look of gratitude.

Nalan Yun didn't think so, her hand was already clenched into a fist under her sleeve, but her face was still unfazed, and she continued: "Everyone has always praised the national teacher's excellent painting skills, I don't know if the county lord has some true inheritance, don't compare Yun'er and these people." ”

"The talent of the county lord is dull, and the national teacher has a lot of affairs every day, how can he pay attention to these trivial things. ”

"But Yun'er heard that the county lord was sleeping in the same room with the national teacher every night, which was really enviable!" The voice was not loud or small, and it just happened to make everyone who came and go listen to it, and threw an indescribable attention salute to Su Xiao.

Su Xiao felt a little headache, this Nalan Yun really finished thinking about it, pretending to be stupid, and went around in a big circle, the purpose was here, Su Xiao pretended to be angry and said, "Who are you listening to?"

"It has been rumored in Beijing for half a month. Nalan Yun lowered her head and was obviously snickering.

Su Xiao thought to herself that this was not just jealousy, no matter what she said, Su Xiao was the one who put it shamelessly, Su Xiao pretended to be angry, and scolded: "Nalan Yun, as the daughter of a courtier, it is not good to stay in the boudoir and embroider, and listen to the rumors in the market every day, isn't it that Lord Nalan teaches by word and deed?"

Nalan Yun obviously didn't expect Su Xiao to lose her temper suddenly, reprimanded herself, and froze in place, and when she came back to her senses, Su Xiao had already walked away, and Nalan Yun gritted her teeth and made an account for Su Xiao in her heart.

There were many girls standing at the door of the imperial garden, this time, it was strange, except for Su Xiao, everyone was wearing red and green, and the conspicuous colors were all over the door, and the people who watched were dazzled and overwhelmed.

In the first level, there were a lot of people eliminated, and now there are only 50 people left, after this level there will be only 10 people left, and when the last level comes, one of these ten people will be selected to choose the winner.

When the eunuch stood at the gate of the imperial garden and shouted and began to enter the garden, the girls all adjusted their manners and handed over the invitation to the second level of the garden to the eunuch for review.

Of course, the stone is different, it belongs to the palace, and he secretly changed his clothes, and easily went in to watch the game with Lin Quan.

Yuhua and Murong Yan were already sitting in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, and Lin Quan announced the rules of the competition: "Hello nobles, this second level is called Beauty Appreciation, I believe everyone has heard of it before, it is a comparison of painting skills, choose the most beautiful scenery in the Imperial Garden, and put it into the paper, and finally the emperor and the national teacher will personally comment, and the next level will be selected on the spot, and there is only one hour of time." ”

"This imperial garden is so big, it takes an hour to walk it. The crowd began to whisper, implying that the rule was not reasonable at all, and the people in the audience did not hear it, and sent the girls to look for the scenery and paint.

Everyone scattered in the imperial garden, only Su Xiao was still standing in place, Murong Yan was a little curious, so he asked: "Looking at Xiaoxiao's appearance, I'm afraid I already have a plan." ”

Su Xiao did not speak, but walked to the table where the paper had been laid out and the paint had been adjusted, and without hesitation, he took a pen and began to paint.

Yuhua knows Su Xiao's skills, although he is not ugly, he is not very good-looking.

Su Xiao once again brushed the wind, lowered his head and painted seriously, and this time the speed was obviously much faster than before, as soon as Su Xiao finished putting down the pen, Lin Quan shouted that the time was up.

Everyone looked at each other, and the little eunuch stepped forward to take away the paintings one by one, half of them handed in the blank scroll because of lack of time, and the rest only had twenty comments in their hands.

Preparations had already been made in the imperial garden, and a large square table was placed in front of the pavilion, Murong Yan motioned for Lin Quan to spread the paintings on the table one by one, and then called Yuhua to look at them one by one.

"Although flowers and trees are not still life, they are still living creatures, but they are painted lifeless. Yuhua's taste Su Xiao had seen it during that period of learning to paint in the snow garden, and basically the only thing that could enter his eyes was the paintings he made.

"Alas, this painting is so special. Murong Yan said that it was naturally Su Xiao's painting, and Murong Yan asked curiously: "I have never seen this kind of painting, it's really special, Su Xiao, tell me quickly, is the person in this painting me and the national teacher?"

"Back to the emperor, exactly. "One of the people in the painting is wearing a yellow dragon robe, the other is wearing a blue shirt, the two are talking, it is the scene of Fang Cai, the painting method, it is naturally the painting method of the two-dimensional ancient style demon and beautiful man.

Yuhua looked at it and didn't speak, but praised it in his heart, it seems that he didn't just read the script for half a month, although he still didn't make progress like this, and opened up another road, but the character lines in it were already much more proficient. It's just that he asked: "Everyone else is a scene of flowers and plants, but why does the county lord want people to be in the painting?"

"Returning to the country, before, the title only said that the most beautiful scenery in this imperial garden is picturesque, and it is not mandatory to require the need to paint plants and trees, and the most beautiful scenery in Yuhua Garden at this moment is not the emperor and the national teacher, the emperor is mighty and domineering, and the national teacher is clear and immortal, so as to enter the painting, in order to be worthy of this topic. Su Xiao laughed wildly in her heart, this is a good way, let Murong Yan and Yuhua enter the painting, even if the painting is not good, the two of them will not say that this painting is ugly, otherwise they are belittling their appearance.

"Clever words. When Yuhua said these four words, everyone thought that Su Xiao had lost the election, but Murong Yan added a sentence at the end: "However, I like it." ”

ordered Lin Quan to put away the paintings, but unexpectedly, at the end of the game, Yuhua took him away, and Murong Yan had to scold Yuhua in Zhengyang Palace for being as small as a needle.

The nine shortlisted ones were all selected by Murong Yan, and Nalan Yun was actually among them, and now Nalan Yun's arrogant head raised a little, I am afraid that she felt in her heart that the position of the wife of the national teacher belonged to her.

"A total of ten people will be selected this time, and the final candidate will be selected in the next hundred flowers banquet at the end of the month. Murong Yan announced, and after speaking, he looked at Su Xiao again: "County Lord, your mansion has been built, and the national teacher will personally take you over in a while." ”

"Emperor Xie, Guoshi Xie. ”

After saying this, Yuhua followed Murong Yan to Zhengyang Palace, and ordered the little servant to pass the word, saying that Su Xiao would wait in the imperial garden for a while, and leave the palace together afterwards.

"The national teacher treats the county lord like this, Yun'er is really envious!" Nalan Yun let out a snort, causing Su Xiao's hair to be tied up all over her body.

Now there is only Su Xiao left in the imperial garden, and the stones around her are also there, as for Nalan Yun, she herself cheekily said that she had to stay with Su Xiao, Su Xiao was not easy to refuse, so she went with the others, but this Nalan Yun's snorting appearance is really disgusting.

Su Xiao forcibly squeezed a smile from her face in reply.
