Finest Servant

Xu Zhiqing is a very smart woman. After hearing these words, she suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said to Lin San, "Why are you still standing there, thank you quickly."

"Thank you, thank you." Lin Wanrong said oddly, he had no idea about these things. This kind of thing about giving a garden in one sentence is a plot on TV, and it has nothing to do with someone Lin, he has nothing to do with it at all. consciousness.

Xu Zhiqing is both angry and funny. When this person is smart, people can't wait to bite him, and when he's stupid, he can't wait to go up and kick him.

Of course, Su Mubai wouldn't make it clear that this man in the pavilion had a reason to appreciate Lin San, and this was not something he could interfere with.

The old man seemed to like Lin Wanrong, a person who pretended to be clever with a smudge, and he didn't explain it, he laughed a few times, and changed the subject: "Xu girl, Su Mubai, and Lin San who is sitting, today I said that I will study you, so naturally I can't say anything. It's the same sentence, only if you answer well will you be granted a seat."

Su Mubai was the champion of the dynasty, and was suggested by the emperor himself. Naturally, he was not afraid of him taking the test, so he bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Please, the emperor--sir, give me a question."

The old man in the pavilion pondered for a while, then said with a smile, "Since we are viewing flowers in this peony garden today, then tell me, in this garden full of flowers and plants, which flower is the best?"

Oiran? ! Lin Wanrong suddenly remembered the past with Xian'er by the Qinhuai River in the past, and couldn't help but put a smile on his face, that An Fox didn't know where Xian'er was hidden, but he had not seen her face in the past few days in the capital.

After hearing this question, Su Mubai thought about it for a while before saying: "From Mubai's point of view, the king of flowers is this peony, the 'Drunken Yanhong'. This drunken face is red, and the flowers are delicate. , has the style of a countryman, its color is pure, and its meaning is far-reaching. It symbolizes the prosperity of my country and the prosperity of the country for thousands of years. It is the blessing of heaven. , the essence of condensing mountains and mountains, and the tender intestines of gathering water. Angry has come from ancient times, and Yanyan has changed makeup from time to time. Yueyue seems to be new with thousands of flowers, and it is more beautiful than competing with hundreds of flowers. Yang Hu Luoshen to accompany you , slumped over the branches and suave."

Lin Wanrong heard the black lines appearing on her forehead, and said to Xiao Yuruo: "Miss, what did the champion say, why can't I understand it?! Oh, it seems that I'm behind again, can you translate it?"

The eldest lady is knowledgeable and talented, and said with a smile: "This champion Su really lives up to his reputation. He quoted "Peony Flower God Fu", saying that this 'Drunken Yanhong' has a noble character and an extraordinary origin. In such a short period of time, he has You can cite the scriptures. The paragraphs come, this champion falls on his head, and his name deserves it."

It turned out to be writing an argumentative paper, and Lin Wanrong was furious in her heart, *, what the heck, just read a few words that I don't understand, and then you can become the champion? I went up and wrote a few calculus equations,

Make sure you don't know any of you, so can I be the father of the champion?

After listening to Su Mubai's words, everyone nodded secretly. Su Zhuangyuan's knowledge really lived up to its reputation - only Lin San was a big exception. If he knew that this garden already belonged to him, he would have driven him out with a broom long ago after listening to Su Mubai's ancient classics.

The old man in the pavilion smiled and said, "Very good, Su Mubai. Your talent is indeed extraordinary. It's not wrong to take you as the champion. Come, give me your seat."

Su Mubai hurriedly clenched his fists and thanked him with a modest look on his face. When the entourage moved to the brocade stool, he cautiously put the small half of his butt on it, and he was sitting down. It was far less secure than Lin San's sitting on the ground. Lin Wanrong was secretly amused when he saw it, this champion was trembling and trembling, but it really didn't make any sense, and it was not as happy as I, Lin San.

"Xu girl, it's your turn." The old man glanced at Xu Zhiqing and nodded slightly.

Xu Zhiqing gave a light salute, and walked a few steps in the forest slowly. After patrolling for a long time, she said softly, "This is the best among flowers—it's really nothing."

Everyone in the garden was stunned for a moment. In the eyes of Miss Xu, the peonies that filled the garden were all like no other. Her eyes were too high.

Su Mubai raised her eyebrows and said, "According to Miss's opinion, the peony in this garden can't be the king of hundreds of flowers, so how can a flower be able to do this?"

Xu Zhiqing smiled and didn't speak, only Lin San gave a big thumbs up with a smile: "Gao Jian, Gao Jian, I knew that Miss Xu likes this."

The old man in the pavilion is also puzzled, but he understands the ability of this girl Xu. Xu Zhiqing is a powerful woman who has fought against the Hu people on the battlefield.

"Lin San, listen to what you mean, you seem to understand Xu's words?" The old man asked with great interest.

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "I guessed it, and I don't know if it's right or wrong. Anyway, I'm not knowledgeable or knowledgeable, so it's okay to guess."

Xu Zhiqing smiled slightly, glanced at him and said, "You, I don't care if you guess wrong."

The old man laughed loudly, and he seemed very happy to hear that voice: "You kids, you always like to play some dumb riddles, if I were twenty years younger, I would be able to play with you. Lin San, just talk about it. , Xu Yatou is a four-character word, what does it mean?"

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Miss, I will type a word riddle for you to guess. There is no answer. Guess a word. If you guess it right, Miss Xu's riddle will be solved."

Xiao Yuruo thought for a moment, then smiled suddenly: "I understand, there is no such thing as a 'white'. It turns out that Sister Xu likes this white peony. The whitest and most beautiful in this garden is the one from Luoyang. The 'Quanfengjiao', my elder sister means that this 'Quanfengjiao' is the king of flowers, right or not?"

Xu Zhiqing nodded and smiled and said, "Sister Xiao is really smart." Xiao Yuruo smiled embarrassedly, and Lin Wanrong took the sentence for her: "Where, where, our Lin San is smart."

Xu Zhiqing glanced at Lin San, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes. Although this man was joking and not serious, he always surprised people at key points. Just now, he used a little charade to go around in circles, but this person was able to readily comprehend it. He was indeed smart and witty, not simple! On the contrary, it was the champion Su Mubai, who didn't understand the meaning of it, and was eager to express it, so he found it boring.

The old man nodded and said: "Xu girl really has some ways, you chose this white peony as the king of flowers, but why?"

Xu Zhiqing pondered for a while and said: "The national color is drunk in the morning, and the clothes are dyed at night. The four characters of the national color and the fragrance of the sky describe the beauty and beauty of the peony in the world. Su Zhuangyuan loves 'drunk face red' because it has a great joy. Color is an auspicious omen for the country. This 'Trembling Fengjiao' is pure and clean, and it is the noble gesture of a real leader. This is the case with the flower arrangement, and so is the national road. Those who are high-ranking people should learn this 'shaking style'. Feng Jiao', always clean and pure, do not contaminate your heart with selfish desires, only then can you handle affairs fairly, govern the country and rejuvenate the country, and only in this way can you be drunk everywhere, make the sky auspicious, and benevolent to my Dahuazi civil."

However, Xu Zhiqing's remarks are based on flowers, and they are related to people and countries. The implication is profound, and it is a level higher than that of Su Zhuangyuan's pure flower theory. Lin Wanrong glanced at Xu Zhiqing, this girl is really a great learner, these words are based on the classics, but they are easy to understand, much smarter than Su Zhuangyuan, at least I can understand this little white, with ideals, ambition, not simple !

The old man in the pavilion sighed and said: "Xu girl, if you are not a daughter, your father's position will definitely be inherited by you. It's a pity that although Xu Wei has a son and a daughter, only one is brave and lacks resourcefulness. Another wise man is in the world, but it's a daughter, it's a pity, a pity."

It was a pity for the old man to use two in a row, and his emotion was beyond words. In this era of patriarchal preference, there are very few people who can have Xu Zhiqing's knowledge, let alone women, even among men.

Lin Wanrong secretly said: "Miss, is this the so-called national policy question? That above the Golden Hall, is it the only question to be asked when the champion is selected?"

Xiao Yuruo said with a smile, "I haven't taken the champion exam, how do I know? But the questions above the golden hall were all directly asked by the emperor. Like Sister Xu, who is made up of flowers, people and politics, not to mention no, but It’s rare, and with Sister Xu’s knowledge, it’s more than enough to be admitted to ten champions.”

Lin Wanrong smiled slightly. Although he didn't like the peony flower, Xu Zhiqing's remarks were also very subjective, but she could think of it, it was not simple, and she should pay tribute to her.

Everyone in the garden was silent for a while, and finally the old man said, "Come on, give Miss Xu a seat on the left of Zhuangyuan Su."

Lin Wanrong didn't understand the sentence added later, and said to Xiao Yuruo: "Miss, why do you want Miss Xu to sit on the left of Su Mubai?"

Regarding this curious baby's idiot question, the eldest lady really can't laugh or cry, and she is reluctant to beat her, and she is reluctant to scold her, and somehow she has lost her mind and been deceived by this stupid person.

"This is like a row of seats. The left is the biggest and the left is the respect-Lin San, I have a very serious question for you, have you ever read a book?"

Lin Wanrong's old face was also red, and she was despised by the eldest lady. She was sweating to death. These ancient rules were long gone in his previous life, how could he remember them.

Seeing his rare blushing, the eldest lady smiled and said, "From tomorrow onwards, I will supervise your studies, reading Confucius and Mencius during the day and the Book of Poetry at night. I will try to make you come back even after three years."

Read Confucius and Mencius during the day and the Book of Songs at night? I*, it's better to dream big during the day and get slack at night. Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Okay, okay, that eldest lady can rape me all day and night. You must rape me well, not even once." The eldest lady blushed and gave him a white look, even the greatness of Zhongsanyuan. The dream was strangled in his belly lustfully.

Xu Zhiqing did not refuse, and sat on the left of Zhuangyuan Su. Su Mubai was already well-known for Xu Zhiqing's talent, and it wasn't too embarrassing to see that she had the upper hand. Anyway, Miss Xu's reputation is known all over the world, and once she lost to her, she said it in the past. On the contrary, the old man in the pavilion glanced at Su Zhuangyuan, sighed slightly, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The blind old man standing behind him whispered, "Master, Young Master Su is inexperienced. Even if he fails for a while, it won't be a big problem. After training, he can be re-used."

A strange light flashed in the master's eyes, and he said, "Little Weizi, you recommended Lin San, why did you say good things for Su Mubai instead?"

Xiao Weizi's expression did not change: "Master, it doesn't matter who you recommend. As long as it is something that benefits me, Dahua, you want the head of a servant, and a servant will have nothing to say."

The old man's face flickered, and it took a long time to say: "Little Weizi, I know your loyalty, and your eyes were lost for me. Even Xu Wei, Li Tai and others don't understand that old incident. Only you know that you have worked hard for you all these years."

Xiao Weizi hurriedly knelt down and said in shock, "The servant is terrified. The servant's life is given by the master. For the sake of the master, the servant will be smashed to pieces without complaining."

"Get up." The old man said lightly, looked into the distance, a hint of sinister flashed across his face, and said sternly: "That man is sinister and cunning, he has cut off my blood, and will cut off my descendants. Before the couch, I made an oath of weeping blood and poison, and I will definitely let him taste the taste of being cut off from children."

The blind old man, Wei Zi, stood up, not daring to make a sound. The master said again: "My father made me swear that I will never touch him in my lifetime, but how could the old man know that I was so miserably harmed by this beast that I couldn't even leave a child. For the past 20 years, he has been mischievous in the court. I can't bear it, and now it's finally time for reckoning. The royal father doesn't allow me to do it, can't I fake it?"

He slapped the table heavily, exuding a murderous aura all over his body, and said furiously, "I want him to taste that too, I will never let him go!"

The old man coughed violently in excitement, and Xiao Weizi hurriedly stepped forward and handed him the pills. After the old man swallowed the warm water, the cough was much relieved, but there was a strange whiteness on his face, he closed his eyes and sighed in thought: In this position, for the past 20 years, I have only been able to talk to you, even Xu Wei and Li Tai, who have been with me for 30 or 40 years, gradually don’t understand what I am thinking.”

He was silent for a while, glanced at several people in the garden, and suddenly smiled: "The Lin San you recommended is very good, very good, not deep in learning, but very broad in scope, practical enough, and a useful talent. It's not bad at all compared to the one I took pains to cultivate myself. He protected the stall in Jinling, and killed Bailian in Shandong. He has made great achievements but not greedy for it. I will keep all these in my heart. I reward him for this garden today, although it is beautiful , but it is of little use, it is a peach on paper, it will not be envied by others, and lest the imperial censors in the court accuse me of distributing the seals indiscriminately."

When the blind old man knew that this was not his time to speak, he kept his mouth shut. Sure enough, the old man's eyes flashed with a gleam of hope: "As long as he does well, I will give him a fair chance. Everyone has a chance. It's equal, no more, no less."

*****************

Lin Wanrong saw that both Su Zhuangyuan and Miss Xu were seated, but the master in the curtain stopped talking. Do you want to sit on the ground all the time, or do you want to sit on a high stool too? Now it's your turn, there are hundreds of flowers in this garden, who is the leader of the flowers?"

Among the three, only Lin San did not speak. There are so many people in this garden, except for a few people, everyone else can't understand, why does this master raise Lin San to such a high level? Among the three people in this debate, one is the daughter of a scholar of Xu Da, who is better than Xu Wei when it comes to knowledge, and the other is the champion of the new division. There is no need to say much about knowledge. On the other hand, what kind of onion is this Xiao family's Ding Linsan, worthy of this master to compare him with the previous two?

Lin Wanrong is also strange, this boss looks down on me too much, I am not familiar with him, why do you have to let me speak.

Seeing that he hesitated, the old man smiled again: "Why, do you want to, or do you dare not?" [Heaven's Kiss]

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "It's not that I don't dare, I'm just afraid that I dare to say it, but some people don't dare to listen."

There was a smile on his face, but what he said was amazing. The old man whispered and said to the little Wei Zi behind him: "I'm afraid that no one will be able to treat him in the future."

The blind old man gritted his teeth and said, "If someone can cure him, then it's not worthy of the servant's election to you--Master, how can anyone in the world cure you?"

This very ingenious analogy, the old man understood clearly, smiled slightly, stopped talking to Xiao Weizi, and only said loudly: "Lin San, why don't you dare to listen, just say it."

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "This elder, you said that you want to choose the chief among the flowers in this garden, right or not?"

"Exactly." The old man replied.

"So, I can choose any of the flowers and plants in this garden?"

"Exactly, as long as you give reasons, you can choose the flowers and plants in this garden." The old man looked at him with interest.

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "This is great." He shook the dog's tail grass in his hand and said, "I choose this."

Su Zhuangyuan almost fell off the stool, and saw the fluffy tree in Lin Wanrong's hand, saying that flowers are not flowers, and grass is not grass. He was silent for a long time, and finally he couldn't help but say, "Brother Lin, are you not mistaken?"

Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "That's it, I won't choose it if it's not."

Miss originally thought he would choose an orchid. After all, he was most familiar with orchids, but when he saw that he had chosen the most inconspicuous and even disgusting dogtail flower, he immediately shook his head and said amusedly: "This bad guy. I have never been able to guess what he was thinking."

Xu Zhiqing glanced at Lin Wanrong, with a flash of interest in her eyes, and said to the eldest lady with a smile: "This person in your family, I'm afraid it will be a big deal in the future. Sister Xiao, I congratulate you first."

"What's so serious?" The eldest lady was happy when she heard it, but her face was shy: "I'm afraid it's a big deal, sister, this person is necrotic."

The old man in the pavilion was born in a noble family, and he usually sees top-notch flowers and plants. Which one is not gorgeous? Seeing this inconspicuous grass in Lin San's hands today, he suddenly asked, "Lin San, what is this?"

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "This is called the dog's tail flower. The fluffy flowers that everyone sees are the flowers that it blooms. They are the most common and even the most hated by everyone. How about it, is it ugly enough?"

Sure enough, it was ugly enough, and the people in the field had a chill. The old man smiled and said, "You chose this dog's tail flower to be the best among the flowers? It really is unexpected." The people in the garden couldn't help laughing. This dog's tail flower can match the beauty of the country. compared to peonies? Fools know it can't be done.

Lin Wanrong's expression remained the same, Xu Zhiqing looked at him curiously, her words were not astonishing, what the hell was this person doing?

"Peony is coquettish and disturbing people's hearts, and a country is like a madman without hesitation." Lin Wanrong said slowly, smiled and took off a "Than Feng Jiao" that was as white as jade, put it on his nose and sniffed lightly, and said with a smile: "Beautiful , Fragrant, the four characters of national beauty and heavenly fragrance, really deserved their reputation. Ah, I suddenly miss the poem, 'A clump of national beauty flowers, ten households are rich, every family is a custom, everyone is fascinated by enlightenment'. Su Zhuangyuan , you are the number one scholar appointed by the emperor's royal pen, can you explain to us all what this poem means?"

Su Mubai's expression changed. Of course he could understand the meaning of the poem. It meant that Chinese people were addicted to peonies, almost obsessed. It was an allegory poem.

Lin Wanrong sighed and said, "This peony is really beautiful, and it's so beautiful that you can't bear to touch it - but besides being beautiful, what else can it do? It is delicate and easy to break, and needs your careful care. , it will be gone, you see—" He threw the beautiful peony on the ground, stepped on it lightly, and the petals were so shattered that it was hard to see.

"Brother Lin, what are you doing?" Su Mubai frowned and said, "I wait for those who appreciate flowers, I should cherish flowers and love them. It's really a sin to waste flowers and branches like this."

"Su Zhuangyuan said it well." Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up: "You really are a person who appreciates, cherishes and loves flowers. But—" He changed his tone and laughed loudly: "I want to ask Su Zhuangyuan, What flower do you admire, what flower do you love—"

Su Mubai suddenly thought of something, his face changed, Lin Wanrong laughed loudly: "I will answer for the champion. What you admire is beauty, what you love is national beauty and fragrance, you will reward this dog's tail grass, Do you love it? It's right to say that you appreciate beauty, but it's wrong to say that you appreciate and love flowers, Zhuangyuan Lang, am I right?"

A good mouth. Su Mubai couldn't make a sound, but Xu Zhiqing watched with relish.

"It's not wrong to love beauty, but I have to ask, in this world, is there more peonies or more grass? Who cares about the thousands of dog's tail grass? Who cares? Who the hell cares?" Lin Wanrong stepped on the peony again and scolded angrily.

The eldest lady hurriedly pulled him gently, her beautiful eyes glared at him, and she said softly, "You, don't be rude."

"Oh, Sao Rui, Sao Rui." Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly and glanced at Xu Zhiqing: "Ms. Xu, the beautiful and arrogant white peony must be untouched by the dust, and the leader is good, this sentence is very reasonable, but I would like to ask, who is the leader of your white peony? Is it peony, chrysanthemum or Clivia? Wrong, wrong, all wrong, they are also leaders, you are leading a group of dog tail grass like us, they are worthless If you are in troubled times, should you abandon the peony or the dog's tail grass first, Miss Xu, can you give me an answer?"

Xu Zhiqing bit her red lips lightly and refused to speak. The eyes of the people in the pavilion flickered, looking at Lin Wanrong with interest, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Actually, I don't need your answer." Lin Wanrong spread his hands, shrugged and smiled: "This dog's tail grass is ugly and vulgar. When you see it on the road, you want to trample it to death. But you really trampled him to death. Is it?" Lin Wanrong smiled slightly, threw the grass on the ground, stepped on it a few times, and when he picked it up, he saw that the grass was still connected by roots and bones, tall and slender: "We grass roots have the most tenacious vitality. Yes, it doesn't need your care at all. In troubled times, peonies can wither overnight, but grass roots can last for thousands of years. The big waves wash away the sand, and gold is the only thing that can't be washed away. Can you figure out who abandoned who? Miss Xu? To put it uglier, a fire burned this garden. Look who is left here? Who is the undead phoenix? Who is the real king of flowers?—Miss Xu, you understand What am I talking about?"

Xu Zhiqing gritted her teeth, her face flushed, her hands clenched tightly, she glanced at him, but did not speak.

Lin Wanrong smiled and waved his hand: "Don't say it, don't say it, it's not interesting to say it too clearly, anyway, everyone understands. This person in the pavilion, I'm tired of talking, you can get me a bench. "

The old man in the pavilion gave the blind old man a meaningful look, and said with a smile, "It's right to give him a seat, little Weizi, depending on your opinion, should he sit on the left or the right of Su Mubai."

"Master is clear." Xiao Weizi said respectfully with the same expression on his face.

"Come on, give a seat to Lin San, to the left of Miss Xu." The old man laughed loudly and commanded loudly. A meaningful smile appeared on the face of the blind old man Gu Jing Bubo...
