Speaking of Guan Gongzi not drawing lotus picking pictures, the girl next to him was also a little angry, thinking that this Qinglian was really bad, and she had a share in every bad thing.
Su Wan got to know about it, and learned that this young master Guan was named Guan Zhongyue, a native of Lotus City, only twenty-five years old this year, but he was already one of the famous painting masters in Lizhou. Somewhat famous.
He has a bad temper, and he can paint freely, but because he is a native of Lotus City, he will draw three paintings in the lotus picking competition every year. First, he will promote his hometown, Lotus City, and let the world know that there is such a place. Lotus picking competition.
Second, it is natural to have dinner, life is always going on, sometimes it is too annoying to think about painting, so I just paint lotus picking, don't even think about it.
In this way, his paintings have two price points, one is his favorite works, each one is handed down from generation to generation, and the works are worth a thousand gold, and the other is just a meal, such as the picture of picking lotus.
Paintings of picking lotuses can be regarded as everywhere in Lotus City, but Guan Gongzi's painting skills are good, his paintings are better than others, and he is famous as Guan Zhongyue, so the selling price is not bad.
?The people who want his paintings are satisfied, the people who sell the paintings are also satisfied, and both the buyer and the seller are extremely satisfied. The three paintings of the lotus painting a year are managed in this way.
"My second elder brother has a good personal relationship with Mr. Guan. If you want, I'll ask my second elder brother to come forward and ask Mr. Guan to sell you a picture." A person named Du Mingzhu whispered next to him, "Although it's a matter of picking The lotus painting, but Guan Gongzi's painting, was also snatched by many people."
Su Wan really wanted it, and naturally agreed: "Then I would like to thank you very much. If it is possible, I do not know that I will be able to get the painting before noon tomorrow. To tell you the truth, I will leave Lotus City tomorrow to go to the endless world." I don¡¯t know if I will pass through Lotus City when I return.¡±
The girls were a little bit reluctant to hear the words. Although they just met today, they felt that Su Wan was a very easy-going person. If she was in Lotus City, she might be able to visit and become friends frequently in the future. It's a pity that she was in Lotus City, but It's a passerby.
Nian Jinniang paused, feeling a little bored.
Du Mingzhu said: "When the lotus-picking competition is over, I will go to my second brother and ask him to ask. As for the price, I will ask my second brother to talk about it. Maybe it can be less."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
During the conversation, the boat had returned from the lake and landed at the place where the boat was first parked. Just as the girls parked the boat, the beating of drums stopped, and the sundial had just passed an hour.
People who counted the lotus pods were arranged early at the dock of the boat. When the boat docked, someone began to count and sort the lotus pods. Two people were assigned to a small boat, and the two discussed and scored each other.
The appearance of the lotus pods is divided into five grades. The best ones are big, full and without wounds, and the rest are in descending order. The best is five points, and the last is one point. Finally, the winner is the one with the most total points.
Of course, it doesn't mean that it is enough to let the two people divide equally. If the person who sorts the equal share is bribed, there will be no fairness at all, so these lotus pods will be displayed after they are selected and sorted. On the dustpan, let the distinguished guests and the people around you judge.
In the end, everyone had no objection to the result, and then the winner of this year's lotus picking girl was announced.
Qinglian stood on the boat, her chin slightly lifted, and the corners of her eyes were a little smug. In her opinion, this year's lotus picking girl is none other than her.
As early as a few days ago, she asked someone to take her here quietly, went to that lotus bush, and knew where the best growing lotus pods were, and now that she has returned with a full load, who can compete with her.
Thinking of this, her face is cold, but she is a little proud in her heart. The days of being surrounded by flowers and being held high above are too many, and no one wants to go back to the old days.
The lotus girl can be endowed with a very high status, allowing her to have everything she wants. There are even many young men and girls from noble families who are willing to make friends with her. Even if she bullies others, others dare not do anything to her. At most, he just scolded her or said some unpleasant things in private.
But so what, she is not a benevolent god who helps the world, as long as she lives well and enjoys herself, she doesn't care about other people's lives.
Moreover, she was extremely happy when she saw how those noble ladies who used to be high above hated her but had no choice but to grit their teeth.
Some people persuaded her to take advantage of this time and find a good family to marry. With the identity of a lotus girl, it is not impossible for her to marry into a noble family in Lotus City.
But she felt that those who were willing to marry her were not very satisfied with her. What she wanted to marry was the eldest son and grandson of the clan.The one who is the master of the family and the wife of the clan is not a bastard born by an aunt or something like that.
But the eldest son and grandson of the family are not stupid. Most of them marry noble daughters who are well-matched. The two have joined forces, and their status has been stable since then, and the family is flourishing. And it's one a year, so it's not true.
Of course, Qinglian is also beautiful enough, that cool and elegant appearance is very exciting, and some people are eager to take her as a concubine, but Qinglian is unwilling to be a concubine, so she has been dragging her along.
The only one who was fascinated by her and wanted to divorce his wife and marry her was the eldest son of the Nian family. At first, she was a little moved and thought that she could marry him, but she met Mr. Hong and Mr. Shui again. The two are noble sons of the big clan in Lizhou City.
Compared with Mr. Hong and Mr. Shui, Mr. Nian is far worse.
She thought for a while whether Mr. Hong or Mr. Shui was better. The lotus pods on the boat were almost counted. She glanced around and squinted at the viewing platform.
She remembered that someone shouted that Madam would give 3,000 taels of silver as a lottery to the other girls, and whoever wins can go to claim it. She thought carefully that the other party must be targeting her, and she didn't know whose Madam it was .
I can give three thousand silver at will, and my family is not bad, so which one is it?
After sorting the lotus pods, the sorter counted the scores and began to praise Qinglian: "Miss Qinglian is so powerful, I see that none of the other girls can compare with you."
Miss Qinglian nodded, and said softly: "Where, I am similar to all the girls."
"It's much worse, it's much worse." Seeing that the cold girl Qinglian spoke to him so gently, the speaker almost lost his mind.
In fact, Qinglian looks cold and elegant, just like a lotus flower, but she is also gentle and polite when dealing with others. Only in this way can she fascinate people so much that they can't wait to pour their hearts out for her.
"Miss Qinglian is eighteen this year, and she has been participating for several years. It's not like us, but she is fourteen, fifteen or sixteen years old, and her experience is far worse than that of Miss Qinglian" (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
