"Dangdangdang, of course I treat you as friends, okay, don't be angry," Gongsun Lei grabbed Lin Simei and looked flattering, "I really don't mean to dislike you. If I really dislike you, I will."

If someone comes from the countryside, I won’t be friends with you. Come on, Shuyi, I’ll go see the flowers with you.”

The "Shuyi" that Gongsun Lei calls is Lin's fourth sister's name. Her second sister is called Lin Lianhua, her eldest sister is called Lin Xinghua, and Lin's fourth sister's first name is "Lin Taohua". It's okay to call her that in the countryside, but in Puzhou

A place like this city is a bit rustic.

In order to be more effective, before departure, Ye Yuran took the initiative and gave the two sisters a new name.

Zhu Bamei's given name was Zhu Shujing, so Ye Yuran took the middle character "Shu" and added the surname "Lin", and then added another character after that, and the names of Lin Sanmei and Lin Simei were born -

—Lin Shuqi, Lin Shuyi.

If you don't look at the surnames at the end, but just look at the names, the two new surnames of Lin Sanmei and Lin Simei, put together with Zhu Bamei's name, are really as close as sisters.

"Where are the flowers you mentioned? Are they over there?" Gongsun Lei pointed in a direction, hinting.

Lin Simei was very nervous and walked in the direction Gongsun Lei quietly hinted. As she walked, she said: "It's right here. I came here with the third sister just now."

"Oh, I guessed it right. Let me guess again, which one you two were looking at just now..." Lin Sanmei and Lin Simei don't understand flowers, but Gongsun Lei does. She said that she

If you want to guess, isn't it just telling Lin Simei which flower should be faked later?

Lin Simei was filled with gratitude and said with a smile: "Looking at your confident look, you can't guess which one it is? I originally wanted to give you a hint, but seeing you like this, I don't want to."

You gave me a hint, so you can guess it yourself. Anyway, I can tell you that this flower is extremely beautiful."

Gongsun Lei snorted and laughed: "You still said you wouldn't give me a hint, didn't you just give it to me?"

He pointed his finger into the flowers and pointed at the graceful peony and said, "It should be that one, right? It is suspected to be the work of the goddess Luochuan, and the beauty is so beautiful that it breaks the morning glow. Isn't it the one you are talking about?"

I saw that the flower pointed by Gongsun Lei bloomed particularly brightly, with golden stamens clustered in clusters, and crimson petals stacked layer upon layer. Such a large flower, with national beauty and heavenly fragrance, was already very beautiful, and it was returned

It was decorated with a circle of light pink and white, and it was as beautiful as the queen of flowers, instantly outshining all other flowers.

It really echoes that poem - the peony demon in front of the court has no place, the hibiscus on the pond competes for love, only the peony is the true national beauty, and the capital is moved when the flowers bloom.

Lin Sanmei made a surprised expression: "You guessed it?!"

Gongsun Lei raised her chin and said very proudly: "Do you still need to guess? This potted flower is the 'Golden Fortune Garden' that Mr. Xiao searched all over the south of the Yangtze River for his old lady. This flower is very precious.

…”

Balabala, Gongsun Lei deliberately put on a showy look and introduced the potted flower vigorously.

The other rich ladies all around gathered around one by one. I don’t know if they were really interested in this pot of flowers. Anyway, at least some of them came for Mr. Xiao.

The full name of Young Master Xiao is Xiao Xiuzhu. He is the eldest son of the Xiao family in Luanzhou. He is also a famous young talent in Luanzhou. He is graceful and extraordinary, and he has already achieved the title of son-in-law in the last year.

What's more important is that Mr. Xiao is not engaged yet.

In other words, the flower party held by the Xiao family today is actually a blind date banquet.

As a eldest lady, she has not found a way to capture the attention of Young Master Xiao. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Lei was well-informed and made a big splash.

Miss Qian, who had always been unhappy with Gongsun Lei for not dealing with her, snorted at the little sisters around her: "I know how to be in the limelight. This Gongsun Lei has her everywhere. She is really annoying! I think this is it."

She arranged it so that a little girl was surprised by a beautiful flower. This was obviously a chance for her to shine. If it hadn't been specially arranged, who would have gotten her turn in this kind of thing?"

For a time, Gongsun Lei, who was in the limelight, really got in the eyes of several people and was talked about behind their backs.

When it came to Lin Sanmei, Lin Simei's initial "panic" was ignored by others.

After hearing those people's gossip, Lin Sanmei and Lin Simei felt very guilty. Afterwards, they thanked Gongsun Lei and said that if it weren't for her, they would really make a fool of themselves at the banquet.

Gongsun Lei waved his hand and said, "Why are you grateful? Aren't we friends? We should help you."

"But you helped us, but ruined your own name. They said that about you behind your back..."

"Whether I am in the limelight or not, they will say this. Today's flower viewing party is different from usual ones. Usually, girls from various families gather together just to have fun, but today is different. Today is the meeting of the Xiao family.

Look at a daughter-in-law." Gongsun Lei looked helpless and said, "Those people probably regard me as a competitor, and are afraid that I will steal their limelight and be chosen by the Xiao family."

"But don't you usually want to see it?"

"Yes, but usually it is aimless and has no clear goal. Today, there is a clear goal." Gongsun Lei looked at the two people suspiciously and said, "You haven't heard of Mr. Xiao.

A good reputation, right?”

"Is Mr. Xiao a great talent? Is he very famous?"

Without waiting for Gongsun Lei to explain, Miss Liu and Miss Li quickly stood up and recounted all the good names of Young Master Xiao.

"Now you understand how popular this Young Master Xiao is, right?"

"It turns out that he is really a talented person, and he is also a civil servant..." Lin Simei suddenly realized, and said, "I heard that civil servants can be selected to become an official. So is he going to continue taking the exam, or is he going to become an official?

?”

"Of course I will continue to take the exam. The Xiao family has people in the capital, and Mr. Xiao is quite talented and learned in our Pushou City. It would be a pity if he didn't continue to take the exam." Miss Li said, "It's because he is

He is good at studying, and he is likely to become an official in the future, so he is very popular, and many girls in Pushou City want to marry him."

"What about you? With your family background, you should be able to marry him, right? But it seems like you don't really want to..." Lin Simei was a little unsure, wondering if she was overthinking it.

Miss Liu covered her mouth and laughed, and said: "Leilei has always said that you are very smart, and you are indeed smart. We are really not interested in him. Although the Xiao family is similar to ours, Mr. Xiao...how

Speaking of which, we haven’t had much contact with each other before. I only know that a rich lady approached him on purpose and was thrown off the carriage by him, which was very tragic."

"Isn't it? He is so cold and ruthless!? What happened to that rich lady? Did the other party do something bad?" Lin Sanmei asked curiously.

Miss Liu shook her head: "I don't know. Anyway, this matter didn't break out. The Xiao family dealt with it privately. We only found out about it because of a coincidence. We were indeed frightened by this matter."
