    "Drawing lots?"

    The people present immediately laughed when they heard the words, but they did not expect that this candidate was selected in this way.

    Zhang Xuzhen blushed: "It's me, I'm lucky."

    Su Xiuzhi said: "Actually, it's the most fair way."

    If it is a competition, it depends on each person's ability, but if it is a lottery, it depends on luck.

    Nian Jinniang nodded: "It is indeed a good idea, otherwise, everyone will be dissatisfied."

    Zhang Xuzhen said: "We also thought the same way before. We were all fighting for that position before, and no one would accept the other. If we draw lots, we can blame ourselves for being unlucky."

    Although they are fighting with each other, they are not people without a bottom line of conscience. Everyone wants the position of Lotus Girl very much, but what they had to do at that time was to pull Qinglian down.  In terms of position, they will still be implicated, and they don't know what will happen.

    Zhang Xu was really embarrassed: "So I really don't have the right to take this money, and I would like to thank Madam for taking good care of me. If I still participate in the lotus picking competition next year, I must win it back with my own ability."

    Su Wan said: "Since I said this, I naturally have no reason to go back on my word. Although you won disgrace, it can be regarded as excusable. If someone's behavior hurts me, I will try my best to pull her down and change the situation."  status quo."

    "Since you worked together to get it, then you can share the money together."

    "Miss Xuzhen can talk about these things today, but she is not the kind of shameless and brazen person. I hope you can change the status quo and live a better life in the future."

    Zhang Xu is really embarrassed to accept this money, but after hearing what she said, it is not easy to shirk it. After all, money is something that no one wants. She neither steals nor robs. This lady wants to give it to her  , she is naturally happy.

    Moreover, the money is not hers alone now, but everyone's. Some of these girls are not having a good life. With this money, at least they can improve the family's situation.

    "Na Xuzhen, thank you madam."

    Su Guan asked Xiao Sang to take out the bank notes, and Su Xiuzhi Nian Jinniang and others also took out the money they promised earlier. The girls pooled a total of five hundred and fifty taels, plus Su Wan's three thousand taels, the total was  Three thousand five hundred and fifty taels.

    Zhang Xu really had never seen so many bank notes, and was a little apprehensive. When she found that there were five hundred and fifty taels more, she asked, "Why are there so many, did I make a mistake?"

    Nian Jinniang said: "I didn't get it out. The three thousand taels were given by Mrs. Li, and we made up the rest. Miss Xuzhen also knows that we also hate that Qinglian. Thank you for solving her."

    Qinglian had private contacts with quite a few noblemen, and there were quite a few noble wives and daughters who hated her. Zhang Xuzhen heard this, and said, "We are more for ourselves."

    "all the same."

    Zhang Xu really didn't stay long, and after thanking him, he took the bank note and left, then went to meet up with his sisters at the agreed place, and took out the bank note. Everyone present was silent for a while, thinking about how to divide the money.

    After a long time, someone suggested: "It's better to give one thousand taels to Sanniang's family, and divide the rest equally."

    San Niang is the girl who committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake earlier.

    "That's fine, I agree."

    "I agree."

    "I have no objection either."

    The proposal was approved by everyone, and they began to divide the money. In addition to the one thousand left for San Niang, there were a total of two thousand five hundred and fifty taels. There were twenty-two of them, and twenty-one of them got one hundred and one each.  At fifteen taels, Zhang Xuzhen was selected as the lotus picker, and she also took the money back, so she got some more, and got one hundred and thirty-five taels.

    After the accounts were settled, Zhang Xuzhen took the silver bills to the bank and exchanged them for one hundred denominations and some broken silver, and distributed the money to everyone, and then went to Sanniang's house and gave her one thousand taels of silver  home.

    After finishing these things, the matter came to an end, and they still had to discuss with Zhang Xuzhen how to rectify the name of the lotus girl

    Su Guan left after Zhang Xuzhen left. She left Du Mingzhu her temporary residence address, saying that if she could get Guan Gongzi's lotus-picking picture, she would send it here.

    Du Mingzhu readily agreed, and when she got home, she found her second elder brother, Second Young Master Du, and asked him to ask Guan Zhongyue about the picture of picking lotus.  down.

    "However, I don't know if he has painted this year. If not, I will write a book.??There are two pictures, you just pick one and give it to others.  "

    Du Mingzhu was startled: "Second brother, are you alright?"

    This guy is well-known in the city as a stingy guy, and even a girl like her can't even think of taking advantage of him, so she even asked her to choose a painting to give away.

    Yo, this is really the sun coming out from the west.

    Second Young Master Du said: "What do you know? You said that this madam sprinkled three thousand taels when she made a move. I think she is not an ordinary family. Lao Guan's paintings are not easy to give away, but the picture of picking lotus is not a problem.  It¡¯s not worth much anyway.¡±

    "Take it as a good relationship, maybe there will be some kind of fate in the future."

    Du Mingzhu's face twisted for a moment, and she wanted to say what he was thinking, but she also felt that it would be good to pick up something on this stingy ghost, so she said, "Then I'll just go to your place and get it, anyway, it's about the same, Li  Madame just wants a picture of picking lotus."

    "Okay."

    Seeing that he agreed, Du Mingzhu took the maidservant to his study room. Originally, she wanted to choose one painting. After much deliberation, she took away both paintings and planned to let him choose by herself.

    As the sun was setting, Du Mingzhu took the two paintings to Su Wan's rented yard. At the moment, Su Wan was leading people to pack up his things and prepared to leave tomorrow. After staying for ten days, he had a lot more things.

    When Du Mingzhu came, she was in a hurry, and there was thin sweat on her forehead.

    Su Wan asked someone to bring her a bowl of warm tea: "I'm not leaving now, why bother."

    Du Mingzhu said: "It's better to settle the matter earlier, otherwise it will be a pity if it is delayed. These two paintings are all made by Guan Gongzi, but they are all works from previous years. They were taken from my second brother's study.  If you don't mind, just choose one of them."

    "Since it's your elder brother's treasure, wouldn't I be a steal?"

    "It's nothing, my brother and Mr. Guan have a good relationship. If you really want to, Mr. Guan will draw again in the future, so let him keep it. Anyway, it's a picture of picking lotus."

    Su Wan thought about it too: "Then I will thank your second brother."

    Su Guan asked people to unfold these two pictures. Both pictures showed the scene of the lotus picking competition.  The words were inscribed and the payment was made.

    The inscription on the front reads: Light as a frightened bird, graceful as a dragon swimming.

    The inscription on the back says: All mountains are filled with spring water, and it is for the king to pick lotus back.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
