No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Um?

The Fourth Master looked in the direction of Lin Mingyan's finger, and a pot of lush green flowers of unknown origin came into view.

Okay!

I don't want the ones with so many gorgeous flowers in front of me, I want this one that doesn't even have buds.

However, he usually does not interfere much with Lin Mingyan's choices.

He gave Su Peisheng a look and asked him to pay.

Su Peisheng didn't ask how much it was, just gave him a silver ingot and wanted to get the flowers.

But the young man hugged the flower and said, "Not enough!"

"Not enough?!" Su Peisheng's voice became shrill: "Ten taels of silver isn't enough for just this pot of green leaves?"

Could it be that he saw how gorgeously the master and Ling Gege were dressed and wanted to extort money from them?!

The young man shuddered when he heard Su Peisheng's voice, knowing that it was the voice of a eunuch.

Even in the capital, there are only a few people who can use eunuchs.

Apart from the nobles in the palace, there are also royal relatives.

He couldn't afford to offend either one.

But there is not enough money.

He only has this pot of tribute roses left, and he has to rely on the selling price to turn his life around!

"Not enough, this is the best Pingyin Rose King," the boy explained, "the flowers are as big as bowls, bright red..."

Before Su Peisheng could speak, the Fourth Master interrupted the young man and asked, "How much silver do you want?"

"One thousand taels!" The young man reported the number, and the people around him looked at him sideways.

"Has he lost his mind? He doesn't even have a flower bud, yet he dares to ask for a thousand taels?"

"That's right. Uncle Li didn't even dare to ask for a thousand taels for that pot of purple lily. Isn't it better looking than this one?"

"Bah, how can you compare with Wei Zi? You can't even compare with my precious peony pot?!"

......

This garden party was organized spontaneously by the public, and the flowers in the garden were brought in and arranged by farmers who grew flowers in the surrounding area.

In return, flower farmers can bring their own flowers to the stalls and earn some money from popularity.

It can be said that everyone is familiar with each other, and they all know who has good products and who is just bluffing.

Seeing that the young man asked for one thousand taels, everyone thought it was a fantasy.

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Master said, "Su Peisheng, pay~"

He didn't care how much the flower was worth, as long as Cha Cha liked it, he would buy it.

Just like what Fu Jin said, who is it bothering if you have money and are willing to spend it?

He is willing to spend money on Cha Cha now, what's wrong?

Lin Mingyan was a little speechless and pulled the Fourth Master's sleeve: "Master, this is not worth it, right?"

"If you like it, it's worth ten thousand taels," the Fourth Master said with such domineering tone that she was stunned for a moment.

In just a moment, Su Peisheng had paid the money and held the pot of roses in his arms.

It’s not that he’s a lackey, he’s never seen a thousand taels of silver being spent.

But the young man opposite was not a good person. When he heard his master say that it was worth ten thousand taels, there was obvious regret in his eyes.

He was afraid that someone would snatch the flowers back, so he asked for ten thousand taels of silver.

Then he would feel sad!

Fortunately, the young man was not so shameless. He took the 1,000 taels of silver and left without looking back.

Seeing such a big client like Lin Mingyan hanging out at the garden party, many flower growers specially passed by her with their proud flowers in their arms.

When an old man passed by her three times holding different flowers, she knew she could no longer go to this flower market.

"Master, I've bought the flowers. I'm a little tired. Where should we go now?" Lin Mingyan asked the question to the Fourth Master without any burden.

Anyway, he was taking her out to play, so he couldn't just buy her flowers.

The Fourth Master pulled her closer and asked her to hold his sleeve.

He then bought her a few peach blossoms from a stall selling hairpins, lifted the brim of her hat, and personally put them on her little hair.

Lin Mingyan shook her head in surprise: "No need to wear a veil?"

The Fourth Master looked around and finally took off the face cloth and covered her with it: "This way you don't have to wear it."

Lin Mingyan happily touched the peach blossom on her head and asked, "How did you know I like peach blossoms?"

She hadn't even opened her mouth yet, but he had already bought the flowers without even asking if she liked them.

"Peach blossom patterns account for almost half of your jewelry!" The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows, his pair of peach blossom eyes bright and affectionate.

Lin Mingyan hummed softly, turned around and picked a bunch of jasmine from the stall.

Jasmine flowers are very small, but the stall owner gathered the small flowers together and inserted a long-handled pedicel to make a large bunch.

She put the flower hairpin next to the Fourth Master's ear.

I admired it for a moment and said sincerely, "This looks great on me!"

This is not a compliment, the Fourth Master is handsome, and he looks even better with this flower on.

The Fourth Master smelled the fragrance of flowers coming from his temples and was stunned for a moment, but did not take it off.

He pulled the person away quickly, leaving Su Peisheng disheveled in the wind for a while before paying the bill and following.

As more and more people gathered around, the Fourth Master was afraid that she would be squeezed away, so he covered her small hand with his big palm.

There was no one playing in the river in front of me. There was a long table on it. The table was concave like a river, with water flowing in it.

There will also be small bowls floating down from upstream on the water surface. I heard that there are all kinds of food in the bowls.

There are cakes, noodles, eggs and so on.

"Is this... Qushui Liushang?" Lin Mingyan marveled at the romance of the ancients.

Compared with the flowing surfaces of later generations, this sloped table with various small bowls in the shape of flowers on it looks much more elegant.

The Fourth Master said, "I have reserved the seat."

When the Fourth Master heard the minor official from the Ministry of Revenue mention the garden party yesterday and asked Su Peisheng to come and reserve a seat, it was already gone.

But the organizer is not a fool. The other party is either rich or powerful and cannot be offended. He also pays a lot of money.

A table was temporarily added at the front, and the distinguished guest was seated at the first one.

So Lin Mingyan and the other person occupied a table alone, both holding chopsticks and ready to eat.

The first wave of dishes arrived, and the bowls were covered with leaves, so you couldn't see what was inside and could only rely on luck.

Lin Mingyan quickly scooped up a small peach blossom-shaped bowl and opened it to reveal a piece of Poria cocos cake.

After walking around for most of the day, I had some Fuling pastries to fill my stomach.

The Fourth Master scooped up a small green bowl and opened it to reveal a small portion of noodles.

Everyone only scoops up one bowl at a time, and it's the same for people downstream.

Fun and delicious.

Lin Mingyan was quick, accurate and ruthless, and she could always get the small bowl she wanted in every wave.

Gradually, she had almost finished eating, and there were a few exclamations from the people behind them.

"Wow~ I finally got the eggs!"

"A good omen, a good omen~"

egg?

Eggs are the ultimate prize?

Lin Mingyan was a little confused and turned to see that the Fourth Master didn't seem to have caught any eggs either.

"Master? What's the use of eggs?" She looked puzzled.

The Fourth Master's eyes became more and more serious as he stared at the small bowl Shangyou put down again.

This Qushui Liushang event is coming to an end. If I can't catch anything...

The Fourth Master was quick-witted and swift. He scooped up a bright yellow plum blossom bowl, took a deep breath, and peeled off the leaves.

"Egg!" He laughed heartily and fed the egg to Lin Mingyan's mouth: "Eat it quickly."

Lin Mingyan was confused, but since this was a good thing that everyone wanted, she decided to eat it.

After eating, the Fourth Master looked at her stomach with a satisfied look on his face.

The people around kept congratulating him.

"Good sign! May you have a baby soon~"
