Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

Li secretly felt sorry for a while, then turned around and discussed with Xi: "Since this is the case, the eldest sister-in-law has spoken, what do you think, Sandi?"

Xi leaned over and asked, "What does the second sister-in-law think?"

Li looked at the girls, recalled and thought for a moment, and asked: "Daughter of Huan? Or daughter of Xiao?"

"Look at you, second sister-in-law." Xi said.

The main reason is that her son Wulang is still young, only fifteen or sixteen, so there is no need to rush.

"This……"

Li was hesitant.

Seeing that she had not come to a conclusion, Luo Qin suggested: "Second Madam Xie, since you can't make up your mind, why not let the gentlemen choose."

Everyone looked at Luo Qin, who said calmly, "The gentlemen did not participate in the performance themselves, but watched the whole thing from beginning to end. They already had their plans in mind. It would be most appropriate to let them choose the most outstanding girl in their hearts."

The men in the male seats included not only the men from the Xie family, but also the men from families that were on good terms with the Xie family, and there were quite a few of them.

Luo Qin continued calmly: "Let the gentlemen anonymously write down the names of the girls they think are the most powerful, and then count them. The one with the most names will win. What do you think, Madam?"

"I think it's great." Wang said first, "This is the most fair and just."

The other ladies also thought it was very good.

Originally, when Li said that she wanted to choose between the daughter of Huan and the daughter of Xiao, they were all disappointed and unwilling.

It is obvious that Li has selfish motives. She wants to choose the girl who loves her son. This is so unfair to the other girls.

But Luo Qin suggested letting the gentlemen choose, which is another matter. What if someone among them is more popular with the gentlemen than the girls from the Huan family and the Xiao family?

Everyone thought Luo Qin's suggestion was good. Wang decisively asked the servants to send paper and pen to the male guests, asking them to write down the girl they thought was the most talented.

Li'er was puzzled by the harmony of the banquet. Why was there no quarreling and framing like in novels?

The whole performance ended in a dull and boring way. I should have not come if I had known.

The gentlemen worked quickly. After they finished writing, the servants went to collect and compile the list and finally got the result.

Wang took the name handed over by Aunt Lan, glanced at it, and a smile flashed across her eyes. In an instant, all the girls and ladies present couldn't help but become nervous and expectant.

With a proper smile on her face, Wang turned to the crowd and announced in a clear voice: "The winner is Huan Lingzhi, a daughter of the Huan family of Qiao State!"

This news was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. In an instant, the whole audience burst into warm applause and cheers.

When Huan Lingzhi heard her name being called out, she was extremely excited and clasped her hands tightly together. She subconsciously looked in the direction of Xie Qi, who was also looking at her at this time.

When their eyes met, Xie Qi immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, avoiding his gaze, seeming a little embarrassed.

When Xiao Miaoyi and the other girls heard the result, they couldn't help feeling regretful. They had originally been full of hope for victory, but now they could only accept the reality.

Despite this, they still maintained their good manners and upbringing, quickly adjusted their mindsets, and congratulated Huan Lingzhi one after another.

Luo Qin was not surprised to hear this result.

Lingzhi is sweet and lovely, and she is the only one among all the girls who displays paintings. In contrast, most of the other girls play musical instruments. After listening to them for a long time, it may be difficult to tell who is better.

Huan Lingzhi's portraits left a deep impression on people.

Wang called Huan Lingzhi upstairs, Rufang held a tray with rose water on it, and Lan Yu held a black wooden box inlaid with mother-of-pearl.

Wang pulled the person aside and said, "Girl Lingzhi, you performed very well today. It turns out that you have Sanlang in your heart! Sanlang is also a good boy. If you two can get together, I will be happy to see it happen."

Then Wang motioned for Lady Lan to come forward and said, "This headdress is given to you, as well as the rose water that Aqin found."

"Thank you, Madam." Huan Lingzhi thanked her and happily took the things.

She was also very curious about the rose dew and wondered if the effect was really as magical as Wang said.

After the performance, Wang exchanged a few words with everyone, and then asked everyone to walk around the Xie Mansion Garden to relax.

This move was intended to allow the men and women to see each other freely.

Luo Qin found it boring. Anyway, her main mission here had been accomplished. The rose dew also took the opportunity to enter the minds of the ladies in the upper class. After that, she would sell it to a few noble ladies. The reputation of the rose dew as precious and beauty-enhancing would naturally become known.

Hehehe, then she will just wait to make a fortune.

After finishing her work, Luo Qin walked happily towards Xie Yun's Muhua Courtyard.

"Ms. Luo, wait a minute!"

Suddenly, a female voice came from behind. Luo Qin and Rufang, the master and servant, stopped in their tracks. Luo Qin turned around and saw it was Li'er.

Luo Qin raised her eyebrows and curled her lips calmly. It seemed that she doubted herself.

Li'er lifted her skirt and strode towards Luo Qin. She stopped a few steps away from her and looked at her with a suspicious yet bold look.

"How dare you!" Rufang shouted, "You don't even show courtesy to my girl!"

How dare a slave female musician offend the girl like this!

In this era, slaves and servants could not look directly into the face of a noble.

Li'er looked at Rufang with dissatisfaction. When she met Rufang's angry eyes, her heart stagnated. She thought of the time when she accidentally offended someone and was beaten. She could only bend her knees reluctantly like the noble lady: "Li'er greets Miss Luo."

Seeing that Li'er was trying to smooth things over and was perfunctory about it, and did not call herself a slave, Ru Fanghuo was aroused.

Slaves were required to kneel, unless they were deeply trusted by their master, in which case they were exempted from the kneeling ceremony.

Luo Qin didn't care about these details. He patted Rufang's hand, signaling her not to get too angry. He stepped forward and asked calmly, "Madam, what do you want to see me for?"

Li'er stood up, her eyes fixed on Luo Qin's face. Rufang became even angrier and was about to raise her hand to slap her.

Luo Qin hurriedly grabbed her wrist and said, "Rufang, please step back first."

"Girl! She's so rude!"

Rufang was very annoyed. This Li'er was too arrogant. She had never seen such a rude person.

Luo Qin comforted her, "You step back first."

Rufang had no choice but to retreat behind Luo Qin angrily, but her eyes were staring at Li'er with anger and vigilance.

Li Er didn't care about Ru Fang's anger at all. She just kept looking at Luo Qin. After a moment, she looked at Luo Qin without blinking and said, "Odd things change, but even things don't."

Luo Qin: "..."

Seeing Luo Qin's puzzled expression, Li'er gritted her teeth and said, "The moon shines brightly in front of the bed."

"..."
