When taking out the sweet-scented osmanthus, Yuan Suijun discovered that he, who had maintained a calm demeanor when entering the examination room, actually started to become nervous at this moment.
The heart in his chest was beating very fast, as if it would jump out of his throat at any time. He even began to worry whether others would hear the sound of his heart beating.
It's really strange, why does it make him feel confused and uneasy when it's just a flower?
Yuan Suijun knew that Su Yueling had always been picky, and the food must be the freshest and best, and it must not be worn without silk and satin. Even the variety of flowers inserted in the study must be the most beautiful bunch.
His eyes fell on the golden osmanthus in his hand. Such a flower, no matter how fresh and beautiful it was before being picked, would probably not be able to catch Su Yueling's eyes like this now.
Anyway, he brought it back just to abide by the agreement with her. If she doesn't accept it, it's her decision.
He was about to put his hand down when he saw Su Yueling reaching out to hold the lower part of the branch, "Is this the osmanthus flower in Gongyuan? It's quite beautiful."
Liar!
It was obvious that Su Yueling could hang this sweet-scented osmanthus with any bouquet of flowers she received. But for some reason, when she saw Yuan Suijun's rare nervousness, the words had already blurted out.
She actually praised this flower that she would normally throw into the trash can.
Yes, I can’t really blame him. After all, it takes a day and a night to get back from the state capital. It’s pretty good that this flower can maintain its condition after such a long time.
When taking the flower back, her fingers touched his fingertips, as if they were burned. Yuan Suijun quickly retracted his hand, and the hand clenched into a fist in mid-air and rested on his chin.
, coughed slightly, "As long as you like it."
Su Yueling blinked. When she saw the gentle smile on his face unconsciously, she realized that she seemed to be infected, and she unconsciously raised the corners of her lips.
It's such a strange feeling.
Su Yueling lowered her head in discomfort and gently played with the petals with her fingers, as if she was suddenly interested in the sweet-scented osmanthus.
Yuan Baoshu blinked her round eyes and looked back and forth between Su Yueling and Yuan Suijun, her cheeks turning red unconsciously.
The conversation between the eldest brother and sister-in-law obviously sounded normal, but for some reason, they became nervous and subconsciously held their breath.
Finally, the sound of Yuan Suifeng's stomach growling broke the silence.
"Aren't you hungry? I am."
He originally had a big appetite, but because he was in a hurry, he only ate snacks to fill his stomach, and his stomach was really unbearable. The eldest brother was really nervous even if he gave me flowers.
Su Yueling came back to her senses, squeezed the branch with a little force, and said nonchalantly: "I'm full, you can eat."
Then she took the sweet-scented osmanthus and walked slowly back to her yard.
Returning to the place where she was most relaxed and familiar, all those nervous emotions just now were swept away.
Su Yueling suddenly remembered something and asked Wu Shu, "I remember that the Holy One rewarded a blue and white Ruyi plum vase before?"
Wu Shu nodded, "Yes, there is this vase."
"Take out the plum vase and add some water to it."
Wu Shu looked at the osmanthus in Su Yueling's hand and guessed her plan. Her eyelids couldn't help but twitch. The blue and white Ruyi plum vase was exquisitely crafted, well-proportioned and beautiful. It looked like royal craftsmanship. Wu Shilin also had one before, and it was a little worse than this.
, it cost two thousand taels to get it.
Such a vase can be called a work of art, but Su Yueling directly used it to insert the sweet-scented osmanthus.
This behavior can be said to be quite a waste of natural resources.
But on second thought, this is indeed Su Yueling's own style. The value of items in her eyes only depends on her preference. What she likes is worth thousands of gold. What she doesn't love is worthless.
She quickly found the plum vase from the warehouse, wiped it clean, and added water to it.
Su Yueling placed the sweet-scented osmanthus in the vase and nodded with satisfaction.
They still match well, and her aesthetics are as excellent as ever!
The only pity is that the flower can only last two more days at most.
Let Wu Shu dry the petals the day after tomorrow and make them into dried flowers.
…
With the return of Yuan Suijun and others, the Yuan family suddenly became lively. People came to congratulate them from morning to night.
The Yuan family also decided to hold a flowing banquet to celebrate on September 6th. No invitation is needed, just come and be a guest.
The only requirement is that no gifts come to the door.
The villagers are very puzzled by this, and they always feel a little rude if they come to the house empty-handed while attending weddings normally.
Until the village chief woke up the dreamer with a word.
"If we all come to the door with gifts and Suijun accepts them, then will he accept the gifts from other wealthy households? What reasons should he use to refuse?"
Those rich families who come to the house with generous gifts must be asking for something. If they really win, the Yuan family will be embarrassed to refuse when they ask for help in the future.
Therefore, Yuan Suijun simply refused to accept all gifts, regardless of price.
The villagers suddenly realized that they usually saw that many wealthy families would give generous gifts to the successful candidates in each term. At that time, they were jealous and thought it would be better to study.
Now it seems that some gifts are indeed too hot to receive.
Not to mention, the Yuan family is not short of money? Can the gifts sent by those people be more than the rewards given by the saints?
So the villagers gave up the idea of preparing gifts. They didn't just enjoy the feast for free, so they simply sent people to help.
You also know that people from Lushan Village will definitely come to have a banquet. People from several nearby villages may also come to celebrate. Su Yueling's house is indeed big enough, but no matter how big it is, it can't accommodate so many people.
People. And she can't guarantee that everyone is of good quality. When the time comes, there will be a mixed crowd, and someone might sneak into the inner house.
Su Yueling refused this kind of thing. She would rather build an open-air shed. The ground in Lushan Village is now covered with glutinous rice pulp. When the time comes, sweep it and wash away the dust and soil, and it will be very clean.
The table is not a big problem.
Yuan Baoshu also agreed with her sister-in-law's idea. They were the two in charge of the Yuan family now. After they made their decision, neither Yuan Suijun nor Yuan Suifeng would object.
Since there may be a lot of people coming, and the open space in the village is large enough, we will set up two hundred tables first. Each table costs one tael, which is enough to use the best ingredients.
Yuan Suifeng was the most agitated. The theater troupe he had invited from the state capital had already arrived at Yuan's house. On the day of the banquet, he asked the theater troupe to rehearse "Unfilial and Unjust Wu Xiujie" on the stage to entertain everyone and celebrate.
Su Yueling, who had already seen it once, gave him a thumbs up for being such a clever guy.
The news of the Yuan family's banquet and refusal to accept gifts spread quickly, causing the wealthy families in the city who had prepared generous gifts to sigh with regret.
They also want to take advantage of giving gifts to establish relations with the Yuan family.
When Su Yueling was canonized as the village monarch, the Yuan family didn't hold a banquet, so they almost had no chance to swindle her. Now that the banquet was finally set, they refused to accept the gift.
What's going on with the Yuan family? Why don't they want the property they brought to their doorstep?
Li Yuanwai in the city also had a look of regret. If he had known that Yuan Suijun was so regretful, he had said that he would marry his daughter to him. Knowing Yuan's son-in-law, what else did he have to worry about? It's a pity that his son is talented and learned, especially good at it.
Poetry is just like the imperial examination. Every time I take the exam, something unexpected happens.
Either he had diarrhea before the exam, or he broke his hand, but none of them went smoothly. As a result, even though his son is talented and famous, he is not even a child.
Li Jian, the son of member Li, happily asked people to prepare clothes for him to wear on the 9th. He had to be the most eye-catching person.
Li Yuanwai said: "I heard that their banquets are placed outside the house. You may not be able to see others if you go."
Li Jian showed a confident expression, "Other people won't meet Yuan Suijun, but if I say it, it's different. He will definitely meet me. We are good brothers."
He bought many poems and strategies from Yuan Suijun.
