The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Qingyin was thinking and didn't notice that a plump little girl next to her was staring at her for a long time.

Ah Huan, whose full name is Liu Yuhuan, is the second daughter of the Dongjiao County Magistrate's family. Compared with her elder sister who is generous and good at talking, her personality is much softer. In her sister's words, she is a softie. If it weren't for her noble background, I'm afraid someone would have wanted to take a bite of her long ago.

Ah Huan didn't dare to refute her sister, but she also liked her sister very much.

The eldest sister has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although she seems mean to her, she actually likes her very much and will not harm her. Unfortunately, after the last Flower Goddess Festival, the eldest sister became the first place. After gaining fame, she married the prince of the Earl's Mansion in the capital as his principal wife.

Ah Huan didn't know why her father and mother were so happy even though her elder sister married so far away, but she still tried to hold back her tears and not spoil the fun when she saw the bustling mansion.

On the last night that the eldest sister left, I secretly came to her room and hugged her. She cried for a long time. The eldest sister didn't say anything, but only said to her, "She is silly, she will understand when she grows up." Ah Huan didn't understand, she only knew that her eldest sister was going to leave her.

Now that she has reached the age of marriage, her father has arranged her in the team for the flower god competition. Looking at the women in the room who are either nervous, expectant, or happy, Ah Huan seems to understand what her elder sister said.

Ah Huan was brought here by her father to register very early. She had been in this room for a long time. Someone recognized her and wanted to say hello, but Ah Huan evaded the question and hid in a corner where she could not be noticed but could see everyone.

It was because of this that Ah Huan discovered a strange girl who was completely different from the others. She didn't seem to be as nervous and expectant as the others. Instead, she walked around the house slowly, as if looking for someone?

Ah Huan was inexplicably curious about this girl, and with a favorable impression in his heart, Ah Huan mustered up the courage to walk towards the girl.

"How do you do, miss?"

A strange girl's voice rang in her ear, and one could tell the girl's timidity and nervousness. If the two of them were not so close, Qingyin would have ignored it.

Qingyin turned around and found that it was a chubby and cute little girl who didn't look aggressive at all who was calling her.

The strange little girl wore various gold hairpins and head ornaments on her head. It was obvious that she was not a simple person, but she seemed to be very introverted.

Qingyin was somewhat curious as to why the little girl suddenly called her, and said, "Hello."

The little girl was obviously much happier after receiving the response. She smiled with curved eyebrows and said, "Just now I noticed that the young lady seemed to be looking for something. If the young lady doesn't mind, can you tell me and I can ask someone to help the young lady find it?"

Hearing this, Qingyin slightly raised her eyebrows hidden by her veil. Wow, this is a local connection.

Lips slightly curled, Qingyin smiled: "Thank you, young lady, I was just a little bored and walked around. I don't know your name, my name is Lin Erhua."

Ah Huan, who didn't expect the girl to tell her name, opened her round eyes wide. She nervously introduced her name stumblingly: "Hello, Miss Lin, my name is Liu Yuhuan, the daughter of the county magistrate of Dongjiao County..."

Seeing the silly little girl telling her identity and family background word for word without any guidance, Qingyin sighed. She was just another simple and lovely little girl.

Qing Yin, who was standing behind the curtain, blinked her eyes. "Miss Liu, can I call you Yu Huan? Of course, Miss Liu can also call me Sister Hua."

"Ah, of course, Sister Hua, Hua," Liu Yuhuan said hurriedly, almost biting her tongue, but a touch of joy rose in her heart.

"Yu Huan, can you introduce me to the people who are participating in the Flower God Selection? I saw a lot of people queuing up outside to sign up, but why do I feel like there are fewer people in the room?"

Liu Yuhuan didn't think too much about it and thought Qingyin was just curious, so she explained the reason in one breath: "Sister Hua, you are from another place, right? You probably don't know that the people who participate in the Flower God selection are not only girls like us with clean backgrounds, but also those women in the building."

When this was mentioned, the girl was obviously a little shy, and pointedly used the people in the building to refer to the women in the brothel.

Qingyin obviously understood and nodded.

Then the little girl continued, "Because the selection of the flower goddess is based only on appearance, those women are naturally qualified. The selection of the flower goddess in Dongjiao County is fair, but some women hate to stay with them, so Daddy specially arranged two courtyards, and they all stayed in one place."

So that's why she couldn't find it after searching for so long.

Qingyin nodded and chatted with the little girl, and the waiting time was no longer so boring.

But the girl who was chatting with Qingyin couldn't help but shiver. Why did she feel like someone was staring at her viciously?

The little girl looked around in fear and suspicion, but she saw no one.

Liu Yuhuan subconsciously thought of the strange stories in the vernacular novels she had read, and fear grew in her heart.

Qingyin looked at Liu Yuhuan in confusion: "What's wrong, Yuhuan?" Why did she suddenly look like she was frightened into a quail?

Liu Yuhuan pressed herself against Qingyin in fear and whispered in Qingyin's ear, "Sister Hua, I think this place might be haunted? Just now I felt someone staring at me, but when I looked over there was no one. There must be a ghost!"

Qingyin: "..."

Duan Heng stared at Liu Yuhuan and watched the strange woman walk up to Qingyin and chat happily. Now she was sticking to Qingyin even more intimately. The tall and handsome man felt even colder.

Qingyin, who didn't know where Duan Heng was hiding, looked pale. It was really easy for her to guess who the ghost the little girl was talking about was.

Qingyin patted the frightened girl soothingly, "Don't be afraid, with so many people here, even if there are ghosts, they won't dare to act recklessly."

"Well, okay!" After listening to Qingyin's words, the little girl's fear calmed down a lot.

The sound of introductions for the flower goddess selection came from outside the house. Qingyin heard from afar that the man outside was loudly introducing the woman's name and identity.

Following the man's voice, Qingyin saw a frosty beauty walking outside.

The flower god competition has begun.

—

There were a large number of people watching the Flower God selection.

Some people even climbed up the branches of trees in order to see the beauty's appearance. Of course, rich people are naturally different from ordinary people.

The ten meters in front of the arena is the most suitable viewing distance, and chairs have been deliberately arranged. The chairs in the front row are specially carved from fine huanghuali wood, and there are food for entertaining guests around them.

At this moment, there are several young noblemen with superior looks sitting on the chairs in front that symbolize status and nobility. Their age and position undoubtedly reveal their extraordinary status.

County Magistrate Liu of Dongjiao County was eagerly entertaining the man in red with an arrogant look in the front. This man was Duan Jiachen, the only son of Prince Heng, who was valued by the current emperor, and one of the most noble young men in the capital. No matter how bad his character was, the future throne would not be inherited by this only son.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Liu became more attentive to Duan Jiachen.

"Your Excellency, would you like to take a good look at the beauties in our county? Although our county is not particularly developed, some places are not bad either."

Duan Jiachen lazily raised one hand and casually looked at the latest red agate bracelet in his hand, but he didn't pay any attention to the attentive County Magistrate Liu below.

There are so many people who have been sticking to him since childhood, but the county magistrate is not enough to make him take him seriously.

"Oh, what's so good about a beauty from a small place? She's ignorant and vulgar."

These words made County Magistrate Liu feel upset. If it weren't for the fact that the gentleman in front of him had a special status, he would have definitely complained: "Well, young master, why did you come to watch the Flower God selection?"

The arrogance of Prince Heng and the holding back of County Magistrate Liu were seen by everyone, and the young man sitting on Duan Jiachen's right laughed out loud.

"Oh, my Lord Duan, although Dongjiao County is small, it is blessed with many talented people and may even give birth to a fairy."

Wang Chunan tried to persuade him, but his tone was full of laughter, and it was obvious that he was just joking.

Duan Jiachen was not angry when he heard what Wang Chunan said. It was obvious that they both knew each other.

One is the eldest son of Prince Heng, and the other is the second son of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. Both of them are undoubtedly noble sons of heaven.

In other words, no one can afford to offend him.

County Magistrate Liu wiped the false sweat from his forehead. He didn't know that there was smoke coming out of Dongjiao County this time. All the famous playboys in the capital actually ran to Dongjiao County.

County Magistrate Liu felt both happy and tired when looking at the young gentlemen in the first row. His second daughter was also in this flower goddess selection. Wow, it would be great if she was noticed by one of these noble gentlemen.

The scene on the ring was also reflected in the private room on the top floor of a teahouse.

Meng Ziyi leaned against the window with great interest, "Brother Zhan, Brother Zhan, look, Dongjiao County is really lively today. I didn't expect that these noble young men from the capital would be willing to travel so far to watch the Flower God Festival?"

When Meng Ziyi spoke of the young master, there was an ambiguous sarcasm in his tone.

Indeed, compared with those noble young men who have good family backgrounds and good care, isn't he, a young master of a general's mansion who is not loved by his father and mother, much more pitiful?

What's more, what he expected was that these noble gentlemen could feed him with just a stretch of their hands. Wouldn't that make people even more jealous?

As Meng Ziyi thought about it, his charming peach blossom eyes became even deeper.

Zhan Qingyun's eyebrows did not move: "Meng Ziyi."

"Yes, yes, I know how to control myself." Meng Ziyi licked his dry lips. Aren't these spoiled young masters too hateful?

The selection of the flower god of Dongjiao County began, and Meng Ziyi's voice stopped.

—

One after another, slim and good-looking women walked onto the stage gracefully.

Miss He, who is as cold as ice and snow, Miss Dong, who smiles like a flower, and the passionate beauties from the brothel... one by one they stepped onto the stage.

Everyone's enthusiasm, along with the flowers in their hands, were thrown next to the beauties they liked.

However, these top young men in the capital who are used to seeing beauties obviously do not take these beautiful women seriously.

Occasionally there were a few contemptuous words.

"Oh, this is what Dongjiao County is like. It's not that great."

"This one is too fat, and these eyes are so fierce... hehe."

Hey, you big-headed ghost! The local young masters and wealthy businessmen in the second row of Dongjiao County were furious, but they dared not say anything to these noble young men from the capital.

They were also looking forward to the appearance of a beauty to slap these people in the face, but unfortunately, until the last beauties of Dongjiao County in their hearts left, they did not see those people being moved at all, and they finally gave up hope.

Especially when he saw the young man who was said to be the prince of Heng was getting impatient and was about to leave.

Qingyin appeared.

The girl with a peony flower on her head and a rose-red dress appeared on the stage illuminated by the bright sunlight, and she caught everyone's attention as if she could glow.

At this moment, it seemed that everyone had forgotten the origin of this trip, and only saw this bright and pretty girl.

The breathtaking beauty is a weakness that no one can resist. Duan Jiachen looked up and suddenly froze.

Wang Chunan accidentally knocked over the wine glass in his hand, and a determined look flashed in his eyes. Just as he said, a fairy jumped out.

The stunned people stared at the woman on the stage with obsessed eyes.

"beauty!"

"Great beauty!"

"Ahhhhhh, I like you, Miss Lin!" Following the first person shouting, the people who followed threw flowers and silver onto the stage like crazy.

Some people who regretted throwing away the flowers in advance even secretly picked up the flowers they had thrown to the beauty they liked before and threw them to Qingyin again.

The beauty who had been given flowers earlier twitched her eyes at this exaggerated scene, but after looking at the beauty who came out from the back, she became discouraged again.

No, how could such a thing exist?

If she is a few points prettier than someone else, she will be jealous. But if someone is a thousand or ten thousand times prettier than you, how can she compare or be jealous?

The woman thought silently, but her eyes unconsciously stared at Qingyin.

Qingyin: "..."

It can be said that Qing Yin, who attracted everyone's attention, did not care about the crazy man in the audience. She stood calmly aside and carefully searched for Lin Dahua's figure.

This time Qingyin saw someone.

Lin Dahua was also staring at Qingyin with admiration at this moment. Just looking at the girl who looked like a fairy, she felt vaguely familiar.

But there is no reason why she would not remember such a beautiful lady after having seen her.

This time, Ren Lindahua's imagination ran wild. She never expected that her skinny second sister when she was a child would grow up to be a fairy and come to find her.

—

On the stage, Duan Jiachen, who originally wanted to leave, did not leave. He sat down calmly, as if he was glued to the chair under his butt.

Wang Chunan looked at Duan Jiachen who had returned, and the fake-smiling boy said, "Why did Master Duan come back again? A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold. Master, you should leave."

Duan Jiachen laughed: "Don't bother me, my brother. If you can't even serve wine properly when you're this old, I'm afraid you won't be able to win the heart of a beauty."

……

In the blink of an eye, the two of them exchanged several verbal battles.

County Magistrate Liu who was standing aside was secretly happy. Haha, just now the two men were looking down on their beauty, and now they are about to fight for her.

Where did such a beautiful woman come from? Thinking of this, County Magistrate Liu looked back at the stunning girl on the stage with a puzzled look.

Upstairs, the two young men who were watching the audience almost fell down the stairs when they saw the girl below.

Meng Ziyi was speechless as he looked at the girl below. His heart was beating hard, showing that he fell in love with her at first sight.

It can be said that at first sight, Meng Ziyi even thought of the name of his future child after marrying Qingyin.

Meng Ziyi looked at the girl below with a persistent look, then turned his head and glanced at Zhan Qingyun beside him, and said word by word: "Brother Zhan, I like her."

Zhan Qingyun ignored the emotion in his heart, his calm brows seemed to question himself, and also seemed to refute: "Then Ziyi, treat her well, don't be like before."

But what Zhan Qingyun didn't know was that the more the emotions are suppressed, the more they cannot be concealed, and when they explode, he will understand the pain of loss and missing out.

It seemed that Zhan Qingyun didn't like the girl below. Meng Ziyi smiled and didn't say whether he believed it or not. As if he still had the same attitude as before, he said, "Thank you for your blessing, Brother Zhan."
