There are two kinds of traitors in TV series.

One is born from the heart. or thief eyebrows, or sharp-beaked monkey gills, or fierce and vicious, typical of the face of a bad person. In short, it can be seen from the appearance, the child may be scared to cry when he looks at it twice, needless to say.

The other one is the one that burns hard. is dignified, polite, and laughs like a weak scholar, so that people can't see the bad eyes at all. If you don't know the true character of this person in advance, judging from the appearance alone, it is really very confusing.

She turned around with He Qingxian, Xin Zhuo stepped forward and took a step closer, and arched his hand: "Brother He Xian has had a lot of happy events recently, congratulations, congratulations." ”

"Brother Xin Zhuo, thank you." He Qingxian responded indifferently, and there was no emotion in his tone.

Although Hua Mo was reluctant in her heart, because of the fact that there were so many people next to her, the number of etiquette was indispensable. She bent her knees slightly, nodded and smiled: "I've seen Xin Gongzi." ”

"Eh, brother and sister don't have to be polite." Xin Zhuo wanted to take another step, but he was suddenly blocked in the middle. The two men looked at each other, and Xin Zhuo smiled, "Brother Xian doesn't have to be nervous. Xin just wanted to say to her younger siblings that she herself was better than the pictorial. ”

"Thank you." He had no intention of backing down," she heard. ”

Uh, uh, uh, this station...... How is it like playing a game of eagle catching chickens, and he has become a hen guarding her cubs? There was a gong sound on the other side of the stage, just to break their embarrassing situation.

Hua Mo patted him on the back with one hand and whispered: "Let's go, it's time to start." ”

Xin Zhuo always maintained a soft smile on his face, and stretched out his arm like a gentleman: "Two, please." ”

He Qingxian raised her eyelids, didn't speak, and led her straight to the direction of the platform. He strode forward, but her steps were broken, and she had to turn back every few steps, like a parent dragging a child.

“…… Walk well. He raised his eyebrows, not understanding why she turned back so often, "What is there to see in the back?" ”

"No......" she turned her face to his ear, "I'm afraid that Xin Zhuo will stab us in the back and put a cold arrow or something." "And this bad guy still smiled after he found out about her peeking, it's so scary.

"......" he didn't know whether to say that she was cautious or stupid, "do you think he dares to kill people in front of the emperor in front of the public?" ”

Huh? That's right. She was much more relieved, cleared her throat, looked ahead seriously, and never looked back, only to notice that the father-in-law Lian who had just read out the rules was already waiting.

"Father-in-law." He Qingxian and Xin Zhuo saluted in unison, and Hua Mo bowed with them.

Although he is a father-in-law, he looks quite young, and he doesn't have much arrogance, and his tone is calm: "Please stand aside with me." ”

A rectangular wooden table with a small piece of black cloth in the middle of the tabletop. More than a dozen connoisseurs stood opposite them, and the soldiers gathered in a circle, separating the melon-eating crowd. The emperor and the platform were two steps away from each other, and they watched from above.

"For the sake of fairness, this conference uses a uniform rice bag."

As his father-in-law spoke, the little eunuch on the side neatly lifted the black cloth, and two identical paper packages were revealed in front of everyone. Another little eunuch brought two golden bowls, one dragon and one phoenix, scooped raw rice from the paper bag and packed it, and presented it to the emperor.

"The tasting group can express their opinions on the appearance of the rice grains, including the length, glossiness and fullness." Even his father-in-law repeated the rules, "During this period, the proprietors of Longen Rice Industry and Xin Yuen must stand outside the red line, do not approach the tasting group, do not speak, do not make gestures, and prohibit all prompts." ”

Under the guidance of the two soldiers, Huamo and the others retreated about four or five meters away, and could only be seen from a distance outside the red line.

"You have the hour to taste half a burnt incense." Even his father-in-law waved the dust and announced, "It's officially started!" ”

The rest of the raw rice was kept in the original paper bag, and the people of the tasting group took turns to change places. They can reach directly into the bag and hold up half a palm of the weight to look at it in front of them.

Well, so far everything has been fairly fair and open. The only drawback is that this distance is farther than the distance she spied on the emperor just now!

Hua Mo squinted at the blinded eyes of myopia and astigmatism, and at most she could only see them talking to each other, and she couldn't see the expressions of the connoisseurs at all, nor could she hear them speak, which whetted her appetite.

"What's going on now?" She tugged at his sleeve and stretched her neck anxiously, "How?" Can you hear them say, no? ”

"I can't hear you."

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Still holding his hands on his chest, looking calm and relaxed?

He put down his hand again and put it behind his back: "What's the hurry? We'll find out later. ”

“…… Okay, you're high. ”

Or, gossip about the status of competitors? She looked sideways, good guy, Xin Zhuo was also leisurely sipping the tea prepared by her own maid. It seemed that she had expected her to peek again, and returned a gentlemanly smile, which made her chuckle in her heart and retract her neck in embarrassment.

Dare to love her, she seems to have never seen the world alone? Pouting. But yes, these two people don't know how many years they've been fighting, and what else they haven't experienced. But how long does this half of the incense have to burn...... looked out of the field boredly, only to see that in the melon-eating crowd, someone was holding a sign and swaying left and right.

She squinted hard, trying to see what was on it. Wait, why is the outline of the portrait on the brand so familiar......

"Ahhh Fan Group No. 1 was very excited and patted the arms of the rest of his companions, "Hurry up, hurry up, let's be together!" ”

"Juvenile fish fly bravely, and our fishmeal will always be with us! Wow~"

The moment the neat shouts came, everyone in the audience stopped their movements and looked in the direction of the sound.

Only the foam immediately lowered her head.

She covered her face with her hands, okay, no need to look at it, no eyes, she already knew what was drawn on that sign. Someone told her where the nearest hole was. Let's get her in.

"Flutter-"

She didn't have to look up to know who was laughing: "Have you laughed enough?" ”

"Ahem." He Qingxian pressed the corners of his mouth, trying not to let it rise, "Your followers, it's very touching." ”

"Stop, don't talk about it."

"Why don't you say hello to them?"

"I'll beat you up if you say anything else."

"Huh? Whatever you want. ”

Hua Mo let go of her fingers, glared at him, and peeked at the supporters. Well, it looks like a creep walked by, and they were probably warned, but now they just quietly waved their signs and waved at her.

Is that going to be ...... After hesitating, Flower Foam stiffly raised her paw and waved it a few times. It's just a shame, it's better to be embarrassed than to be misunderstood for playing a big name.

"Flutter-"

Regarding her behavior of pampering fans, He Qingxian generously contributed a laugh, which provoked her to be about to do it, but the bad guy who was watching the show next to her was unwilling to interject lonely.

"There are so many supporters of my younger siblings, and it really deserves its reputation."

She retracted her raised paws in time, retracted into her sleeves in embarrassment, and smiled awkwardly at Xin Zhuo halfway when a dark figure pressed over and cut off their gaze in the middle.

Why did you suddenly move to the other side? He Qingxian gave a good explanation.

"My leg is numb, take a walk."

“……”

It seems that his familiar naïve mode was triggered by Xin Zhuo again, and the last time it was opened by Leng Ningjun. Hey, speaking of which, it seems like I haven't seen that white dress in a while......

"Looking for what?" He Qingxian found that her head turned left and right, and her eyes looked at the crowd outside the arena.

"Leng Ningjun...... "Didn't you say that the Leng family is responsible for Cao Yun, and it is also related to the rice industry?" On this occasion today, why don't he join in the fun? ”

Obviously, the atmosphere was too lively, so she didn't notice that the temperature around her seemed to drop a few degrees. It wasn't until a few seconds later that he didn't reply, and she looked back, seeing that he also quickly turned his head at the same time.

"Huh? Where are you looking? She looked curiously in the direction of his gaze, but he pinched his chin and straightened his head, "What? Hey, let go! A paw slapped his hand away.

Yu Guang glanced at the people outside the arena, he adjusted the angle of his standing, and made sure that the dazzling white was tightly blocked, and then said coolly: "Aren't you in a hurry about the result?" Take a good look at the group of people in front of you. ”

"What's the use of being anxious, I can't see clearly now, and I can't hear it." Her attention was successfully diverted back to business, "Half a pillar of incense has been a long time." ”

"Alright." As soon as He Qingxian's voice fell, the sound of the gong sounded almost at the same time, as accurate as pinching the watch.

Knock –

"The hour has come!"

The members of the tasting group resumed their orderly standing and stopped talking. With a wave of the dust, the soldiers withdrew the red line, and the flower foam returned to the long table to face the tasting group.

"The first level is over, and the tasting group can now express their opinions."

The dozen or so people whispered for a while, and then a dark arm was raised: "I'll go first." ”

The little eunuch who was flipping through the roster next to him only needed to glance at it and knew who it was: "Shopkeeper Tong, let's get out of the list." ”

The shopkeeper stood in front of him. The clothes and facial features look young, but the posture is not old enough for the age. First, he saluted respectfully in the direction of the emperor, and then turned to smile at the two Hesins.

"I think the rice on the left is relatively better." As he spoke, the shopkeeper Tong grabbed a handful of rice from the left and right paper bags with both hands and put them together for comparison, "The left side is of moderate length, the grains are round, and they are light white." Although the length and color of the right one are similar, the overall length is relatively slender and not as round as the left one. ”

Flower foam looks, well, that's exactly what people say, the left one is in better condition. Some people in the tasting group nodded their heads in agreement.

"The old man doesn't think so."

Of course, there are pros and cons. They consciously gave way in the middle, and an elder who saw that he was at least a few dozen years different from the shopkeeper Tong slowly stood up. The old man's face was sallow, and his hair was grayer and more fluffy.

"Shopkeeper Lin, let's talk about it." The little eunuch circled the book again.

"Rice is precious, not the rounder is the better." Shopkeeper Lin took out only one grain of rice from the bags on both sides, carefully put it on the palm of his hand, and then trembled and used his thumb and index finger to pick up the rounder grain first, and held it up in the air.

"The same color, round and translucent, indicates that the middle is hollow." Two fingers forcefully, one pinch, the rice shattered. He picked up another grain, "And this one, although it is not as full as the round, is not transparent, indicating that the middle is solid." ”

After another pinch, sure enough, the slender rice was still intact.

Shopkeeper Lin blew into the palm of his hand, clenched his fists, saluted the emperor's place, and made a concluding speech: "Holy Lord, it can be seen that the round one has been polished, and although the appearance is good, the nutritional value is not as good as the slender one, and it is not conducive to preservation. ”

Well? It seems to make sense. Hua Mo couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it turns out that this rice is the same as people, and it can't be good-looking! It seems that the old man has been weathered and weathered, but he is still more experienced and experienced than the young man. Even the people in the tasting group discussed in a whisper, nodding their heads one after another, and it seemed that more people agreed with the views of Shopkeeper Lin.

However, their opinions are for informational purposes only. The important thing is, which side did the emperor choose? And, which side is the choice of the He family?

I am ashamed to say that Hua Mo is still a layman until now, and he can only recognize that these two paper bags are not konjac rice. If it weren't for the words of the two shopkeepers, at first glance, she couldn't see the difference between the two sides. So......

She tilted her head and winked at He Qingxian.

Don't dare to ask, for fear of being seen through the true face of the rookie dog. I hope he can read the question in her eyes and tell her which side is his own choice.

He met her gaze, blinked as well, and turned his head away.

…… It's good, pretend you can't read it, right? Hua Mo puffed out his cheeks, and it happened that at this time, the little eunuch who had just given the emperor a meter was carrying a wooden plate and came down from the stone steps with his waist bowed.

It's okay, pretend to be mysterious, right? Then she'll see the results for herself! stretched out his neck to peek, but found that on the wooden plate brought down by the little eunuch, there was only a golden phoenix bowl left.

And the bowl was empty.
