The group of four people soon arrived at the gate with carved pillars.
The two pretty girls guarding the door couldn't help but light up when they saw Qin Feng, who had a handsome face and was dressed as a scholar.
There are all kinds of people coming and going to Baihua Valley every day. They have been guarding the gate for so many years. When have they ever seen such a handsome young man?
He immediately smiled and stepped forward.
"Do you and your group want to use the land to pass through, or do you want to stay in Baihua Valley?" The girl on the left chuckled, and glanced at Qin Feng unconsciously.
"There are four of us and we want to stay here for one night." Hei Tantou tightened his horse's reins and replied.
When the girl guarding the door heard this, she nodded and said softly: "Do you know the rules here?
If you want to stay in Baihua Valley, each person needs to leave two coins. There are four of you, so that’s eight coins."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Qin Feng planned to take out some money from his Xumi Ring.
But at this time, another girl said again: "But there is another rule here. If you can write poems and be selected into the elegant court, you can pay nothing.
And from now on, Baihua Valley can come and go at will.
I see that the young master is dressed like a scholar, would you be interested in giving it a try?"
While speaking, the girl looked at Qin Feng, her eyes moving.
Xiao Lang Hoo, this is me asking, what can you say... The girl on the left raised her eyebrows slightly and added: "Not only that, if the poems are selected into the Yating, they will also be offered
Others appreciate it.
You know, Baihua Valley has a lot of people coming and going every day, which is a great honor for a literati.
Among other things, there are several young masters from the Haowen Courtyard in Fengtian City who left poems in the elegant courtyard, which are still talked about today."
After she finished speaking, she pointed to a flower garden not far away.
Outside the flower garden, a group of people gathered around, pointing to the volumes of poems framed outside the garden and praising them.
At the top of the flower garden, a pair of poems framed in gold is particularly eye-catching.
That flower garden is what the girl calls the elegant garden.
Hearing this, Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "No need."
As he said this, he took out eight pieces of silver from his arms.
The two girls looked at each other, a trace of disappointment flashing in their eyes.
After paying the money, Heitan drove the carriage past the gate of Baihua Valley and asked curiously: "Uncle, why don't you give it a try? With your talent, it's just a poem, it's nothing to worry about, right?"
"It's only eight coins, why bother with that effort? What's more, the art of poetry comes from feelings, how can it be inspired by this yellow and white thing." Qin Feng didn't care.
Just at this moment, a burst of exclamation came from the elegant courtyard: "Look, look at the flowers in this flower garden!"
"It's true that as long as good poems are published, the elegant garden will bloom!"
"This budding flower has already bloomed 60% and is still growing... Incredible, incredible, could this poem become a new poetry crown?!"
At the gate of the carved jade building, the two guard girls heard the movement and looked for recognition. Then they opened their mouths slightly and opened their beautiful eyes.
The girl standing on the left exclaimed in shock: "The flowers have bloomed 70%, hurry up, go and report to the sect leader, and a famous poem has been selected for Yating!"
"Okay, I'll go right away." The plump girl ran towards the valley, her chest making waves.
"Uncle, look." Heitan Tou looked at Ya Ting with curiosity on his face.
The flower garden, which was originally full of flower buds, is now blooming with all kinds of flowers, colorful and gorgeous, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers is assaulting your nostrils.
Qin Feng looked thoughtful when he saw it, and couldn't help but recall the old man's Dengwen stove.
That thing will also exhale white smoke according to the quality of the poem. The higher the white smoke, the better the poem.
Come to think of it, this Yating is also a treasure similar to the Dengwen furnace, except that the white smoke is replaced by budding flowers.
The father and the old man in the carriage also heard the commotion, opened the curtain and looked at the elegant courtyard.
The latter glanced at the scroll of poems, expressionless, and lay back on the carriage again.
After Dad understood the reason for the commotion, he muttered: "I thought we were grabbing the best tea."
After saying that, he closed the curtain again.
"Uncle, do you want to go and have a look?" Xing Sheng asked, tilting his head.
Qin Feng's eyes flashed with golden light, and he glanced at the poems outside the elegant courtyard. They were all themed on romance, flowers, snow, moon and beauty.
I think so, places like Baihua Valley are naturally elegance-oriented.
Some of the poems above are not bad, but some of them are just packed with rhetoric and a bit ordinary.
However, the poems framed in gold do have a grand style, and they should be the poem crowns that someone mentioned before.
Looking at the flower garden again, 80% of the flowers have bloomed, and the remaining flowers have stopped blooming.
Everyone sighed with regret, because the original poem crown caused 80% of the flowers to bloom in the elegant courtyard, but today's poem still failed to surpass it.
But even so, it does not prevent everyone from admiring the person who wrote the poem.
After all, a scene like this hasn't happened for an unknown amount of time.
The girl guarding the door walked up to a young man in green and said something with a smile on her face.
Presumably the young man in green is the one who composed the poem... Qin Feng glanced at the man's back and shook his head: "Let's go, I plan to go see other places, so don't waste time here.
"
...
We found a restaurant, booked a room, and dispersed.
The old man was too lazy to move, so he went directly to the guest room and ordered a table of good wine and food.
Dad asked the waiter where he could buy tea, and then left happily.
Qin Feng and the other two were wandering around the Baihua Valley where people were coming and going and the fragrance of flowers was overflowing.
Although he was just wandering around, Qin Feng also had a purpose.
In addition to the rouge and gouache that are loved by women in Baihua Valley, there are also exquisite and beautiful jewelry that attract many women.
He just wanted to choose a good piece of jewelry for his beautiful wife.
Of course, if you have enough time, it is not impossible to choose one for Ningshuang and Miss Cang...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! According to the previous instructions of the waiter in the restaurant, Qin Feng and the two quickly arrived in front of an exquisite attic.
On the attic, a plaque is particularly eye-catching, with three big characters written on it, Baodiexuan!
This is also the best store selling jewelry in Baihua Valley.
As soon as he entered the attic, a pretty girl came forward to greet him warmly. After learning the purpose of Qin Feng's trip, she led him to introduce the most popular jewelry styles in the store.
During this period, Qin Feng also asked Heitan Tou for his opinion, but the answer he got was - the young lady has studied martial arts and swordsmanship since she was a child, and has no interest in these women's things.
In desperation, Qin Feng could only choose the jewelry for Lan Ningshuang and Cang Feilan...
"Uncle, I don't care about this. Just buy two pieces and that's enough." Xing Sheng persuaded me when he saw that his uncle was still browsing Baodie Pavilion.
The jewelry here is not cheap, a piece costs at least several hundred taels of silver, and the two pieces that my uncle picked out earlier cost even more than a thousand taels of silver!
No, you misunderstood. I haven't chosen the jewelry for your young lady yet... Qin Feng said without blushing, "Isn't it always worth buying a few more pieces when you come to Baihua Valley?"
Incorrect."
The pretty girl heard this and said with a smile: "Young Master is right. Apart from Yuxiufang, the imperial capital, Baihua Valley's jewelry is the most famous.
I wonder which girl is so lucky to marry a young master."
If I told you it was Liu Jianli, I'm afraid you would think the other way around... Qin Feng did not answer, but asked: "Besides these, are there any other jewelry?
I see you have three floors, can you take me up there to have a look?"
The designs of the jewelry downstairs were too complicated, and he always felt that they did not match Liu Jianli very well.
The girl nodded slightly, but said something incomprehensible before going upstairs: "Sir, let me tell you in advance that the jewelry on the third floor cannot be bought with money. It depends on fate."
"Fate?" Qin Feng and Qin Feng were curious and both expressed surprise.
