In early September, the third girl He Zijin and the Zhang family of Chenshan took a ride-hailing ride from He Xin's family, took six pots of green chrysanthemums, bid farewell to the state capital, and went to the prefecture.

He Xin happened to be in charge of the Double Ninth Festival ceremony in the prefecture, but he had no time to meet He Zijin and others, so he ordered a clever manager named Li to accompany him. Manager Li gave He Zijin a post about the entrance of the Douju ​​Club. He Zijin looked carefully and saw that there were stalls and stalls in the Douju ​​Club on it, and he wrote them clearly. He Zijin asked, "For this Douju ​​Club, how many pots of flowers are usually brought to you?"

Manager Li said, "I have found out carefully. This is different. Some bring more, and some are less. For example, last year, the most popular Furong Garden brought twelve pots of carefully cultivated chrysanthemums. Some only have one pot. It doesn't matter. I saw that the older girl brought six pots, so it would be better to take them all and be more convinced."

He Zijin said without commenting, "Why do you have anything to pay attention to at the chrysanthemum club? I was the first one and didn't know much about it. Uncle Li told me that I was mentally prepared."

Manager Li saw that He Zijin was young, but he knew very clearly and could not help but smile, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a top-notch chrysanthemum. The first day was the first round, and the president of the Chamber of Commerce invited our scholars from Chengdu to choose one hundred basins of good chrysanthemums. The second day was the second round, and this time it was the head of the prefect, and I don't know who it was. Anyway, he is a big shot who is more respectful than the prefect."

He Zijin was shocked, "The Chamber of Commerce is really a big deal and I actually invited the Imperial Palace Order."

Manager Li laughed, "It was only lively on the third day. On the third day, the flower courtesan was praised. Jieshi also had scholars from the prefecture to write poems, and famous actors from the prefecture came to sing and dance. That was the chrysanthemum event."

He Zijin said, "I'm not worried on the second and third day, but I don't know if there is anything to do on the first day." A big shot like a prefect is probably not easy to bribe. Moreover, there are people who are even more powerful than the prefect, so the prefect must also choose the best chrysanthemum. There are so many tricks, and it's the prefect that it's the first day of auditions.

Manager Li thought to himself that he is indeed worthy of being the same clan of his master. Such a small man is actually a disciple. Manager Li said, "Miss, don't worry, the Chamber of Commerce is also looking forward to the treasures of the chrysanthemum Club. How could he smash the sign of the chrysanthemum Club? Even our master can speak in the Chamber of Commerce. At that time, the young man will go over and put the chrysanthemums out and make it."

He Zijin asked, "Will you make some arrangements at the stall then?"

Manager Li said, "As long as there are chrysanthemums on the first day, there is only a long table in the stall, and no arrangement is needed. This is what our president meant. It is said that flowers are more beautiful than beauty. If the country is true, even if they are skeleton hairpins and cloth clothes, they cannot cover up the slightest chrysanthemums. Only in this way can we pick out the best chrysanthemums."

He Zijin was speechless and laughed, "Sure, I know this."

He Zijin said again, "The eldest is a chrysanthemum fighter. I have to raise the chrysanthemums these two days. We will trouble Uncle Li in the next few days."

Manager Li laughed, "Dad told me to take good care of the two girls. If you have any trouble, please give me the order."

He Zijin smiled, "Uncle Li, you are polite."

Manager Li laughed, "It's the first time that the two girls have come to the state capital, but there are several places to visit in the state capital. I'm also worried that the girls will take care of the flowers and plants in the past two days, for fear of distracting the girl's heart."

He Zijin looked at the third girl, and the third girl said, "When the chrysanthemum fight ends, it's not too late for us to stroll around again."

Although Rongcheng is a place that is a hundred times more prosperous than Bishui County, He Zijin is not a playful person and laughs, "It's good. Otherwise, I will feel like I'm not in love."

The third girl laughed, "So too."

The Douju ​​Club was a chance for He Xin to arrange He Zijin. The accommodation was also in He Xin's villa. Manager Li arranged it very well. Although He Zijin and his party had no intention of going out for a walk, they still prepared many famous dishes in the state prefectures in terms of food. The maids who served He Zijin and others were also smart people among the maids. It can be seen that He Xin was really interested in entertaining them.

He Zijin came here two days in advance because the chrysanthemums had to be changed and they had to be raised.

She discussed with the third girl that although she brought six pots, she didn't have to bring them all to the Douju ​​Club, and only brought two pots that were exactly the same. Although some people only brought one pot to show that they were the only one. But He Zijin felt that this thing was mostly used for gifts. There was a point of giving gifts, called pairs. In this way, bringing one pair is enough.

On the day of the chrysanthemum fight, the two of them were wearing ordinary clothes. A layer of yellow powder on the third girl's face pressed down on her white skin. A few freckles were spotted between the bridge of her nose. Her eyebrows were painted thick and stupid, and she painted two matchmaker-like cheeks... He Zijin looked at the third girl and just wanted to laugh. The third girl said, "Don't laugh at me, you are still young, you have to pay attention to it after a few years of going out. There are not many other things in the world, but the most lustful people."

Zhang also said, "It's good to be careful at the girl's house. It's okay for the older girl to be young, especially the cousin, who is really outstanding. I heard that many capable people are coming here. Most of those people don't regard women as human beings, but only as goods."

He Zijin agreed with Zhang's words very much and nodded, "Yes."

Their stalls only occupy medium positions, not the best position, but not bad either.

The third girl He Zijin each carried a pot of green chrysanthemums covered with black gauze and placed it on the stalls. There were chrysanthemums on both sides. The chrysanthemums have been raised since ancient times. Since the time when he was "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains" in the place of Yan Yuanming, he has been one of the four gentlemen, and it is not just a matter of flowers. This flower really carries too much cultural significance.

The first day was an audition, and there were many people coming, so the stalls were quite close, and the flowers on He Zijin's left and right stalls were covered with gauze covers. Just like the rules of a bridal chamber, the main person will not be able to be exposed if the auspicious time is not there.

In fact, it was not long. The chairman of the Chamber of Commerce brought the backbone of the Chamber of Commerce to accompany two middle-aged and elderly men in their fifties in their fine clothes to see the flowers. He Zijin also saw an acquaintance, one was He Xin and the other was Uncle Chen. When Chen saw He Zijin, he blinked quietly, obviously knowing that He Zijin would come.

In front of He Zijin were two pots of green chrysanthemums that were exactly the same. In He Zijin's aesthetic, the green chrysanthemums may not be better than those colorful chrysanthemums. However, green chrysanthemums are rare, or because the color is against the sky, the green chrysanthemums are very delicate and difficult to support. He Zijin can sell them in Bishui County every year, because this thing is rare and rare is precious.

What's more, He Zijin's two pots of flowers are really as green as jade and as color as jade. Even the middle-aged and elderly people who were praised by the president of the Chamber of Commerce could not help but stop and admire, "In the past, I read books and said that there were the best green chrysanthemums, which were bright and green, just like a red rabbit in a horse and a Western style in a man. I just wish I could see them, and I finally opened my eyes today."

Another man also smiled and asked, "Which flower is from?"

He Zijin said, "I raised it myself. The elders in the family heard that there was a chrysanthemum fighter, so they asked me to come and see the world."

The man saw that He Zijin's clothes were just ordinary green clothes, but they were delicate and quite pleasing. He couldn't help but ask, "Miss, how old are you, can you raise such treasures?"

"I learned to take care of flowers and plants with my elders in the clan. When I was five years old, my uncle gave me two green chrysanthemums, which were yellow and green. I raised flowers for six years before I raised these two pots of treasures." He Zijin's eyebrows curled, "I heard that those who came to Dou Juju are all elders with knowledge and appreciation, and they are indeed well-known."

Her flower is good enough. Seeing that the little girl was born well, the two of them were so flattering that they were a little happy. They ordered someone to give a big red post on the second day of the re-examination, saying, "Tomorrow I will bring your flower to the prefect."

He Zijin gave a slight and blessed gift, "Yes, thank you, Uncle."

At any time, good looks are all good. When He Zijin was a child, her mother could use her face to open the door of the virtuous aunt. Now He Zijin is still hiding with others, and the two of them are also happy, "The little girl is well-behaved."

The group did not stop for a long time and continued to look at the chrysanthemums below. He Zijin heard one of the two, "That green chrysanthemum is really a magical product. It is rare that the two pots are not even apart. Tomorrow, I will arrange a better place for the little girl."

At the end of the first day, many gardeners came to ask Shen Shan and his party for the origin. Shen Shan supported these people. The third girl He Zijin took the flowers back first. He Xin also came to him in the evening and said to He Zijin with a smile, "I have been busy in the prefecture and I haven't been home for many years. I have always known that you have raised good flowers. I don't know that you have raised these two pots of good flowers. Zijin, I think you have to have great luck."

He Zijin smiled, "It's just two pots of flowers, I just hope to sell it at a good price."

He Xin laughed, "I'll choose tomorrow. If you want to go to the third day's Dou Ju Club, the price is not a problem."

He Zijin smiled, "It's all my uncle who gave me such a good opportunity, otherwise I'll be able to stand up."

No matter whether He Zijin said this sincerely or was polite, He Xin was still happy when he heard it and laughed, "You raised the flowers yourself. If you didn't really fight with other families, it would be useless to have this opportunity. But you have to leave a few pots for me."

He Zijin smiled, "I brought six pots, and my appearance is not bad. I only brought two pots to the Dou Ju Club."

He Xin secretly praised the girl for being smart and said, "That's it, don't move the remaining four basins back. Give me all the ones, I can't lose you."

He Zijin smiled, "You are grateful to others. If my uncle hadn't been knowledgeable and asked me for this opportunity, how could I have gained such great knowledge? I would have taken my uncle's money to become. I would like to give it to my uncle."

He Xin will never take advantage of He Zijin, but when He Zijin speaks, he will inevitably say a few more words to He Zijin and say, "You are catching up with your relatives today, but one of them is the wrong generation."

He Zijin was puzzled, "If my family is in the prefecture, it is the uncle and Chen family." Yuzhe had no relatives, and she didn't know anyone else's family.

He Xin said, "Why did you forget the Ning family?" This is also considered a relative of the He family's turnaround.

He Zijin suddenly realized, "Can one of the two masters have the surname Ning?"

He Xin smiled and said, "That Master Ning is either an outsider, or the family's grandfather's family's aunt. Master Ning himself is a juren. His eldest son, second son and third son are all from Jinshi, and they all work as officials in other places. Ning San is now in the Hanlin Academy of the imperial capital, and his uncle is the same as your Feng family's uncle. Ning Si is a donated official, and Ning Wu serves his parents at home." Ning Liulang is the short-lived ghost married to Xiao Chen.

He Zijin also had to praise, "What a noble family." He said strangely that Aunt Chen would rather ask his daughter to watch the widows than to catch this relative. But if a family like the Ning family wants to find a companion for his son and get married to the family, how can he have to marry someone else's daughter and go to the house to stay here? Of course, one thousand Aunt Chen is voluntarily. However, if Xiao Chen lives in the Ning family like this, it is a wealthy, silk, and satin. What is the point?

He Xin simply said to He Zijin that the Jinshi Hanlin donated officials or other things. How could ordinary rural girls understand this? Seeing that He Zijin seemed to understand what he meant, he thought that he was a child who had studied and had knowledge. His granddaughter was a fool and was useless to be smart. However, He Xin was not reluctant to give advice to other people's smart girls. He smiled, "The most expensive person in the Ning family is not the family of Master Ning. Master Ning's brothers are in the imperial capital and are now a bachelor of the first-class Hanlin Academy."

He Zijin was amazed now. He said that the Chen family climbed up to the Ning family, and He Xin would make the Chen family three points in Bishui County. He Xin said, "I will show you a clear road. You are so smart and have a relationship with Master Ning. When the Dou Juhui Festival is over, you don't think about the two pots of chrysanthemums at the Dou Juhui Festival. As long as the Dou Juhui Festival is on the third day, they are all treasures among the treasures, and they will be bought at high prices. It is indeed rare for you to raise green chrysanthemums. It is no problem to be selected as the third day treasure. When the Dou Juhui Festival is over, I want two pots of your four pots of flowers, and the remaining two pots, you will take them to the Ning family for one or two. Otherwise, I can still say that I don't know Mr. Ning today. Now that I know that I am a relative, why don't I go around more?"

He Zijin is a clear-minded person. After all, the Ning family is a relative of the Chen family. Her family has just had a fight with the Chen family. Although Grandma Chen went to chant scriptures, He Zijin was very annoyed by Uncle Chen. He Xin is older than He Zijin, and he can see what He Zijin is thinking at a glance. He Xin laughed, "You are still young, and relatives are just a fool. Like your Chen aunt, grandfather, you still have a close relationship with your family. Even your Feng uncle and your uncle, can you not borrow their reputation when you interact with others. You have nothing to do with the Ning family."

He Zijin thought about it. There are many snobbish people like Uncle Chen. She herself wanted to see the Ning family's thigh. Anyway, Uncle Feng and Uncle were taken care of by the Ning family when they were in the imperial capital. He Zijin said, "When the fight will end, I should be bowing to you when I go there." She is not a noble character. Just like He Xin said, outside, Uncle Chen must have borrowed the reputation of her uncle and her uncle. Maybe Uncle Chen would also say to Ning family members, "My Uncle Feng, my Uncle Shen" or something. Ordinary and thin-skinned may not be able to say such words. With Uncle Chen's cunning, speaking like this is simply uncommon for him and there is no pressure at all.

After He Xin gave He Zijin some advice to him to get in touch with the Ning family, it was already a little late, so He Zijin rested.

At this time, the third girl came out of the inner room. Since Chen Zhi's incident, the third girl has rarely seen a man from another surname. When He Xin came, she avoided the inner room. As Zhang said, for rich and powerful men, women are not humans, but goods.

The third girl knew her appearance, so she was careful everywhere.

Seeing that He Xin had left, the third girl said, "Uncle Xin is really a perfect person."

He Zijin smiled, "Yes." He Xin was pointing out to her, and he probably knew that her family had a little tension with the Chen family, so he pointed out to her. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Although her family and the Chen family are not enemies, it is difficult to get back to their previous closeness. He Xin and Uncle Chen never had much to deal with. He thought that the marriage was not completed at first, and there was also the incident of Du spreading rumors. The Chen family disturbed He Zhenzhen's marriage. Everyone knew all the right and wrong. Now Chen

The big grandmother offended Mrs. He and directly offended herself to the Zen Temple to recite scriptures. He Xin had to practice with the He Gong family, so he specially found the opportunity to give He Zijin to the jujube club, but he didn't expect He Zijin to be so successful. He Xin gave her more advice, not only did she do enough favors herself. The Chen family has only been outbreak for a few years and will not take the He Gong family seriously. If the He Gong family flourished one day, it is hard to guarantee that he would not have thought about what the Chen family did today, and there would be a good show when the time came.

Even if He Xin said, He Gong was also a very lucky person. He Gong himself was a good old man. Of course, no one would be unwilling to deal with such a person. However, if you can deal with He Gong, you can never think of taking advantage of He Gong. When He Gong was young, he had a famous old lady. Even if someone could provoke He Gong, no one dared to provoke He Gong. After marriage, he had a beautiful and exquisite daughter-in-law. When he was married, he had a beautiful daughter-in-law who was extremely sophisticated. Even though he had only been a scholar, his children were so smart. He Zijin was a daughter, so he didn't think that his daughter was useless. When He Xin's experience, he attached equal importance to his granddaughter in his family, but... Thinking of He Zhenzhen, He Xin felt upset again... Look at He Zijin, he was four or five years younger than He Zhenzhen, but he was so smart and capable, and he was so kind.

It’s really a matter of damnation, and a comparison of goods should be thrown away. He Gong not only has a powerful mother, a fine wife, but also a child is so successful. The key is that He Gong is a scholar, but a brother-in-law who is a Jinshi is an official, and a brother-in-law who is now in Hanlin... When he thinks of He Gong's life, even if He Xin is rich, he can't help but feel a little envious.

This is a lucky person. He Xin thought.

He Xin left, and the third girl said to He Zijin, "If you go to the Ning family, I won't go with you. My sister-in-law, my wife, lives with Uncle Xin."

He Zijin was a little embarrassed.

The third girl said, "I don't think that the Ning family is the in-laws of the Chen family. I'm a little worried. After dealing with Chen Zhi, the Chen family is just a local rich man in our county, so it's so difficult. If I don't want to go to such a powerful family, I'd better be careful. Then I will go shopping on the street with Sister Zhang. In addition, our embroidery workshop also has shops in the prefecture, so I want to go over and take a look."

He Zijin agreed.

With the first day's chrysanthemum fight, He Zijin was quite confident. On the second day, the prefect was indeed here. The prefect, who could make Mr. Ning stop, also felt that the prefect was not bad. He Zijin easily brought her flowers to the third day's chrysanthemum appreciation meeting.

After two days of selection, only thirty pots of chrysanthemums remain this time.

She really competed for beauty. She couldn't tell which one was the best.

This time, the precious marble is used to build a staggered position, just right, put a pot here and put a pot over there, so that any pot of chrysanthemums can be located in the right place.

Moreover, each pot of chrysanthemum has to be named in advance in the flower pot. He Zijin's head was almost blown up when he thought about this. Chen Shan, Zhang Shi, and Manager Li used their brains. Everyone thought of many names such as "green jade, green clouds, green beads, and green orioles", which were all available, but they were not considered outstanding. He Zijin finally used his time travel function and borrowed Lin Daimei's famous quotes to give two names for the two pots of flowers. One pot was called "Who is with you?" and the other pot was called "Yi Dashi". In short, no one who was a little uneducated could understand it.

Zhang said it was weird and didn't understand it very much.

"This third day is for scholars, so it has to be a little weird, and scholars feel it is rare." Although Chen Shan had no knowledge, he thought the scholars' thoughts well. He also asked, "Girl, is this the reason?"

Regardless of whether this is the case or not, it is even more difficult to understand than those "crowns dance auspicious clouds, moisten the face and smile, phoenixes shake feathers, peach blossoms and spring water". In particular, people often have many things to do, and those who don't understand like to ask why.

At this time, He Zijin needed to appear. She said with a fake and modest look on her face, "I remember that I saw two lines of poetry in an old book, which said, "I have seen two lines of poetry in an old book, "I think it's a wonderful sentence to write the spirit of chrysanthemums. I have no literary talent, so I borrowed the poems of the predecessors to name these two pots of flowers." Of course, she would not steal her famous lines and say that they were written by herself. He Zijin just wanted to sell flowers at a good price, not to be a talented woman. Besides, without that talent, she would have to steal other people's talents and stick gold on her face. People who are used to stealing are used to getting something for nothing. Once they steal, there will be a second time. However, even if they are covered with gold, they are not their own. Why do such stupid things? People in the world are not fools.

Back to the point, chrysanthemum is the flower of the hermit, and He Zijin felt that the name he had chosen was not bad.

As a result, as soon as her famous quote came out, it was said that the learned adults said more than a hundred poems that day, but none of them could compare to Lin Daimei. This was not as expected by He Zijin.

Although He Zijin's two pots of green chrysanthemums were not ranked as the leader, they were also very surprised. When the price was finally made that day, what was even more amazing was that the green chrysanthemums of her position as the leader were actually higher than the phoenix Zhenyu pot of the leader.
Chapter completed!
