The Prince's Humen's Wife

Chapter 75: Strategies (2)
Anyway, No. 1 must be the eldest girl of her family, so she didn't feel sorry for the little jade fragrance as an introduction.

Madam Lan saw that everyone agreed with her, and the few rich ladies also had no objection, so she asked people to set up a case and collect some papers.

The maid who just replied didn't leave for a while, and sneaked up to Mrs. Lan while each wife was talking to her own girl, and repeated what Master Teng An had explained. Mrs. Lan frowned slightly, It turned out to be looking for a woman named Charming, but there should be no one during the banquet, and the winner will have to worship Tang Zongsi as his teacher, which is not appropriate.

The maid said in a low voice: "The young master said that if it affects the daughter's marriage in the future, he can be a matchmaker. If it still doesn't work, he will keep it in the room by himself."

When Mrs. Lan heard this, she beamed and deliberately concealed this benefit. Otherwise, those wives who want to marry a wealthy family will let their daughters try it even if they are concubines, especially the eldest lady of the Li family. Let her know, so she found a reliable maid again, and whispered: "Tell the eldest lady, wait a moment and use the word 'charming' as the title."

In fact, just now, the maid of the Li Mansion had already informed the eldest lady of the whole story, and the eldest lady also used the same strategy to turn to Li Manman, and she must let her daughter marry into a wealthy family!

Li Manman and Lan Baoliu knew the key to the victory of this competition almost at the same time, but they didn't know what to do. Not wanting to be looked up to by Prince Jing's son, he secretly gave Jinniang a look.

Dongyue happened to see it, and wanted to say something, but Li Chaochao held her down and shook her head, and said in a low voice, "Go around."

When Li Chaochao turned his head, Jinniang was sighing, "It's really enviable to see how energetic you are."

Cai Fanghua, a girl from the Cai family, said with a smile, "Your sister-in-law can come and try it, maybe you will be highly regarded by Prince Jing's son."

"Jing nonsense, your sister-in-law is married as a woman, and then let the men look up to you, you just need to guard your husband."

In the eyes of outsiders, Jinniang was brought out by the magistrate's wife to socialize. Naturally, she is highly valued by her mother-in-law. Seeing her joking with Miss Cai again, they get along harmoniously. Presumably her husband loves her very much, otherwise, there is no way to talk about it here Joking and laughing, I have long since hid in the dark and complained about myself.

Several young ladies discussed behind their backs, thinking that their big marriage had no effect on her, so they stopped mentioning the previous matter.

Li Chaochao smiled calmly when he heard their discussion, so he said that acting well is worse than acting well, so that people can relax their vigilance.

The table was still being arranged, and someone suddenly murmured, "How do you make a painting with this incense ash?"

Director Tang came over and replied: "Actually, it's the same as usual painting. It's just derived from incense, decorated with incense ash, and it's something in the capital."

Lan Baonuo smiled lightly and said: "Look, Prince Jing asked us to paint with incense ash. It must be something that people often play in the capital. Some people don't want to learn it yet. It will only make people look down upon them."

At this time, Dongyue also came back from the outside, taking advantage of others talking, she said in a low voice: "I heard from the servant at the young master's side that this was Prince Jing's own idea, that he wanted to find some girl."

Li Chaochao frowned silently, thinking that the news of Dongyue's inquiry should be true, and it was really strange to use his name to paint.

Dongyue said again: "Girl, in fact, when I was in the orchard just now, I noticed that there was an outsider."

"Oh?" Li Chaochao raised his eyebrows, "Tell me about it."

"It smells the same as your body, it's all chicken shit... No, it smells like chicken tongue."

Li Chaochao suddenly remembered that the man with the scent of chicken tongue and flower on his body was Prince Jing's son who had been flirting with Lan Lingyu just now. What's his intention in doing this?
If you don't know some things, you just don't know. If you try your best, you may not be able to guess anything, or you will become a fortune teller.

She didn't get too entangled, but just turned the topic around Dongyue, she turned her head and glanced, "Dongyue, you have a good nose."

Dongyue smiled embarrassingly, "I have been burning fires in the kitchen since I was a child, and sometimes I sleep there at night, staying with all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and you will know if you smell them a lot."

Li Chaochao drooped his eyes and tapped the back of his hand with his index finger without rhythm. He didn't pay too much attention to Prince Jing, but thought it was a good thing that Dongyue's nose was so sensitive.

She handed her the sachet on her body, "Can you smell something?"

Dongyue sniffed at the tip of her nose, and answered one by one, "Fragrant leaves, sweet pine, white sandalwood, cloves, white plum... I can't smell anything else."

"There's a little brain musk deer."

Although he didn't answer all of them, Li Chaochao was already extremely happy, and he pushed Dongyue's hand back with a smile, "Give it to you."

Dongyue quickly thanked her, and put the sachet on her body happily. At this time, the table and the inkstone inkstone were all arranged properly. Madam Lan said to everyone: "Using the name as a question is just an artistic conception, and a stick of incense is the time limit. Everyone Feel free to play around."

All the rich ladies saluted with smiles, and then stood in front of the table, the maids were grinding by the side, and then racked their brains to figure out how to express their artistic conception and aesthetic feeling with paintings and poems.

Li Chaochao picked up a pen and looked at the blank paper indifferently. This competition is still up to the respective painters, and then decorate it with incense ash appropriately. , but her name is Chao Chao!
Do you want to draw two suns?

Li Chaochao was fascinated, a drop of ink dripped on the rice paper, and it was rendered. Dongyue became anxious when she saw it, and quickly pulled her sleeve, "Girl, there is only one piece of rice paper."

"Let it be, I don't intend to win anyway..."

Li Chaochao looked at a big ink dot on the rice paper, and thought that since it was all broken, she should just destroy it to the end. She pulled her eyes back from the top, smiled softly, and then swiped the brush freely.

Dongyue looked at the rice paper, from one ink dot to several, and then many... She twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking that Miss Wu was determined to lose this time.

Looking at the paintings of the daughters of the families below, Madam Lan turned her head and asked, "I don't know what Madam Li thinks about the previous proposal?"

The eldest lady took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "Our two families are getting married, so there is no need to talk about the two families, as long as Xiuniang is liked by the lady."

Mrs. Lan's eyes searched for Xiang Xiuniang. The Li family seemed to have made up their minds to make this concubine daughter their successor. If it wasn't for the lack of liquidity in the Lan family recently, she wouldn't bother to talk to the Li family, so as not to mess with her. She was flamboyant, but letting someone else's direct daughter fill in the house, firstly, the other party might not agree to it, and secondly, she didn't have the financial resources of the Li family, so she had to use the birthday banquet to test the Li family's tone again.
