The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Zeng Li didn't know how she ended up in this place. She was originally the daughter of an ordinary family at the foot of the mountain. Because she was beautiful and capable, people from all directions came to propose marriage to her family. However, she didn't expect that just because she went to the inner street to sell vegetables, she was noticed by a rich young man. The rich young man was arrogant and unruly, and even wanted to snatch her to be his concubine on the street. If it weren't for her father's risking his life to save her, she really didn't dare to imagine what would happen to her that day. But since her father's leg was broken that day, the family lost their livelihood, and they were afraid of the revenge of the rich young man, so her father sent her to the Taoist temple overnight, and she was saved from disaster.

Thinking of this, Zeng Li hated the rich young man even more, and hated herself for not being able to protect her father. She was also more grateful to the abbot for taking her family in to live in the Taoist temple.

Qingyin didn't know what she was thinking, but seeing that the girl had been in a daze since she said the first sentence, she didn't want to disturb her thoughts and waited patiently for the girl to come back to her senses.

Xiaoyue didn't know what the visitor was here for, but seeing the young lady so calm, she also calmed down and waited aside.

When Zeng Li came to her senses, she saw two pairs of big eyes staring at her. Her expression froze. Thinking of herself doing embarrassing things in front of these rich people, she wished she could bury herself.

Qing Yin also noticed her discomfort and smiled: "Does this sister know about the peach tree?"

When someone started talking to her, the woman felt more comfortable and her harsh tone became gentler: "Well, that peach tree can't bear fruit. I've been in the Taoist temple for so many years, and this peach tree only blooms but doesn't bear fruit."

"It's amazing." Qingyin exclaimed.

Seeing the flustered woman, she also knew that she was uncomfortable, so she asked Xiaoyue to pack a bag of peach blossom cakes and give it to the woman.

Zeng Li was walking on the way home, looking at the big bag of peach blossom cake in her hand, her face was lost in thought, how did she get to the young lady's yard, and how did she get such a big bag of peach blossom cake for free... Her mind was in a mess, and soon she walked into her own house, where her father, who depended on her for life, was shelling peanuts in the field. Zeng Li didn't care about her thoughts and stepped forward to stop him: "Dad, you should have a good rest at home, I will do these things."

"It's okay, my leg is broken, not my hand. I'm free here anyway, so I'll feel more comfortable if I do some work." The old man was a little thin, but in good spirits and with a kind face. He was very pleased to see his daughter, but he soon noticed the peach blossom cake in his daughter's hand.

"What's this? Did you buy things again?" The old man looked at his daughter worriedly. Ever since that incident, he has been very nervous about his daughter's going out, especially to the county.

Zeng Li was a little confused. When she saw the direction the old man pointed, she realized it was the peach blossom cake in her hand. Her earlobes turned red and she said a little embarrassedly, "This was given to me by the young lady who came to live in the Taoist temple."

The old man was relieved. He smiled. Unlike his daughter who thought that the rich nobles were killed with one blow, he had seen more and knew that there were good people among the rich nobles. "It seems that the young lady is a good person. She is so polite. We poor people are not poor in ambition. Remember to fry some peanuts and send them over, okay, Ali."

"Yes." The woman agreed, without saying anything else, and took the peanuts from her father's hand and started peeling them.

In the afternoon, Qingyin received peanuts from Zeng Li. Before she could react, the woman put the peanuts down and ran away. Her back looked so miserable. Qingyin was speechless. Does she look scary?

Qingyin looked at Xiaoyue who was standing beside her. It was obvious that Xiaoyue was as confused and confused as she was.

But Qingyin also enjoyed this bowl of fried peanuts in the evening. They were fried to the perfect crispness, which thoroughly stimulated the aroma of the peanuts. The more they were chewed, the more fragrant they became. Qingyin, who didn't like peanuts, ate a lot. Aunt Wu exclaimed, "This cooking skill is really good. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious peanuts."

Xiaoyue buried her head in eating, and did not forget to answer with food stuffed in her mouth. Her funny look made Qingyin and the nanny laugh out loud, and the whole courtyard was suddenly filled with cheerful laughter.

As time went by, Zeng Li became Qingyin's first and most familiar person in the Taoist temple, and she also became Qingyin's number one fan. If anyone dared to say something bad about Qingyin, Zeng Li would scold that person until they fainted from shame. Such a strong fighting ability of Zeng Li also caused ridicule from several sisters who had a good relationship with her at the beginning, but she didn't care now that she had too many lice.

Thanks to Zeng Li's mediation, Qingyin and her friends quickly and naturally integrated into the big family of this Taoist temple.

Nanny Wu also found that her young lady was becoming whiter and prettier, but the two of them did not take it seriously, believing that the Taoist temple's natural beauty was nourishing. They even burned a few incense sticks to the Taoist priest enshrined in the temple.

In the first year, Qingyin received quite a lot of letters from her aunt, about one every five or six days. Later on, the number gradually dropped to one per month. In the following years, there were no more letters at all.

Qingyin didn't say anything. Nanny Wu and Xiaoyue didn't know why the aunt stopped sending letters, and they didn't know how to comfort their young lady. They could only make all kinds of delicious food every day to comfort their young lady.

Qingyin was helpless, but she knew the truth. Aunt He became pregnant with a son the year she left. Without her eldest daughter around, time would naturally fade away many of their feelings.

People are like this. No matter how strong the initial feelings were, everything will be drowned in it and slowly disappear with the passage of time.

Five years passed in a flash, and the two young ladies of the Lin family grew up.

"Let me tell you that the young lady of the Lin family is extraordinary. The eldest young lady of the Lin family, Lin Mengya, is extremely talented. The nobles in the capital praised this poem for its authorship."

"Tsk, the eldest lady is indeed talented, but in terms of looks, it's still the third lady Lin Heyu, who is so beautiful and gentle. Whoever marries her will be blessed in his previous life."

"I think Miss Lin Heyu can be the most beautiful woman in Anqing County."

"Bullshit, Miss Yuhua from the Lian family is the most beautiful woman. She looks like a fairy and her temperament is even more extraordinary."

"No, Miss An Rong from the An family is the most beautiful woman. My aunt's son's cousin is on duty at the An family, but he has seen that beauty. She is absolutely enchanting and charming. She is the most beautiful woman."

"Ah, but these beauties are all going to participate in the beauty pageant, and I don't know which one will stay in the capital." A young man dressed as a scholar said with a sigh.

The people who were arguing also fell into sad thoughts and no longer argued about the position of the most beautiful woman in Anqing County.

And all this happened in the restaurant's private room.
