Fighting for beauty

Lu Shu came this time and was only curious about one question.

"What does hypoxia mean?" he asked Xue Mei.

Although Xue Mei's chemistry is not very good, her brain's personal terminal can help her find out what she wants.

She wished she could find a small blackboard to teach Lu Shu a lesson.

She took paper and pen and talked to him about "oxygen".

Maybe it was too much beyond Lu Shu's perception. Lu Shu listened, but he looked dull and didn't understand it very much.

"...When we have money in the future, we will set up a manufacturing factory and get the oxygen inhalation function." Xue Mei said.

Lu Shu: "..."

With Xue Mei's worship and a lot of questions, he left the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

After he left, Xue Mei sat in the courtyard, admiring the flowers sent by Xiao Jingcheng.

He gave camellia.

Xue Mei didn't know what the specific name of this camellia is. Xiao Jingcheng said it was a "snow group", but it was actually a bit similar to the famous variety "Snow Lion" in later generations, but it is more complex than the snow lion.

As the name suggests, the whole flower is white, blooming in anger, and clustering together.

This kind of flower is particularly rare.

Bring two flowers with you and go to the Queen's Spring Banquet, which will definitely win everyone.

The spring banquet is held on March 3rd.

In this dynasty, there are many customs on March 3, such as washing by the water, which means to wash away the bad luck of the year and pray for blessings and disasters.

In addition to this, noble girls can also fly kites, and they also take bad luck and pray for peace. When playing a swing, this is purely for fun and has no specific meaning.

There is also a fight with grass.

Fighting grass and flowers means that every household raises precious varieties of flowers. When the spring banquet on March 3rd, they will be filled with their heads. Whoever has the most precious flowers will win.

Like the snow group, the palace gardeners who worked hard to cultivate for Queen Mother Qi, were brought to Xue Mei by Xiao Jingcheng.

Xue Meiruo takes them to fight flowers and can definitely stabilize the entire audience.

The maids kept watching the flowers, which was a pity for Xue Mei.

"Miss, are you really not going?" Hongluan was a little anxious, "Do you just keep these flowers at home and wait for them to wither?"

Xue Mei smiled.

Several maids thought it was a waste.

"Miss, Prince Rui is not as fierce as the legendary one, he is quite kind." Hongluan said again, "I didn't expect that he is so kind to you, Miss."

"I was bought so soon?" Xue Mei smiled, "Just two pots of flowers."

Hongluan: "..."

Such two pots of flowers are hard to find outside.

Xue Mei thought about it and knew that the third and fourth sisters were about to kiss each other, and also knew that Xi Baochen's marriage was not yet decided.

The third and fourth sisters cannot go to the Queen's banquet, but they must have accepted invitations from other nobles.

March 3rd is not only about praying for blessings, traveling, fighting flowers and grass, but also about blind dates.

Every year, in addition to the Queen, other prominent families will also give in and choose places to hold a spring banquet.

At that time, young men and women will get together. If anyone is interested in anyone, they can secretly tell their family members and then come to the door to propose marriage.

Most of the time it is men who look at each other and then propose marriage, and girls will be reserved.

On March 3, two basins of snow bloomed even bigger, layered and beautiful.

It is estimated that it will wither in two days.

Xue Mei used scissors to cut off a basin, counted a total of five pieces, and asked the maids to bring four small boxes over.

"These two are for Baochen." Xue Mei first picked the two best ones.

"The rest are for the third sister, fourth sister and Miss Wen's family. You can send it out early and you can wear it when they go out." Xue Mei said.

The maids didn't even bother to eat breakfast and went to deliver flowers.

My two sisters were very excited and went to Xue Mei's yard to thank him.

"Big sister, this is a famous flower snow group. The two flowers you gave us are even more exquisite among the flowers..." The fourth lady Xue Qin was particularly excited. She saw something in a blink of an eye. Her already big eyes were like a copper bell, "You have one more!"

"yes."

Xue Qin stammered: "Then..."

The third lady Xue Xi hurriedly stopped her: "It would be great to have one. If you want too many, it would attract jealousy."

The fourth lady then remembered that the spring banquet they went to today was held by the Prime Minister's wife.

There are also several unmarried daughters in the Prime Minister's residence. It would be a bad idea if they bump into them.

After the sisters thanked each other, they left together.

Dai's mother talked about the two ladies in the third room: "If the third lady is married well, she will definitely be able to walk with you and get close to you in the future; the fourth lady is too greedy."

Xue Mei didn't care: "One of them was fourteen years old and the other was sixteen years old, and they were still half-aged children. No one could tell what the future would be like."

She doesn't hate Xue Qin very much.

Xue Qin and Xue Yutan are completely different.

This fourth lady is a little selfish and a little careful, but she has not done anything out of the ordinary and has no vicious heart; Xue Yutan is different.

The snow group was sent to the Xi family, and Xi Baochen returned the gift.

Pan passed away, and the four brothers and sisters of Xue Mei, Xue Chi, Xue Run and Xue Yutan were about to be filial, while Xi Baochen was already eighteen years old, so it was impossible for her to wait until she was twenty years old.

During this period, Xi Baochen is likely to get engaged.

And Xi Baochen was very disappointed.

There was never the concept of "freedom of marriage" in her mind. Even if she wanted to marry Xue Chi, it would not be easy to go against her mother; but Xue Mei always felt that it was inappropriate to get married in close relatives, so if Xi Baochen failed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

On this spring banquet, the two sisters Xue Qin were very popular, and Wen Jin was already beautiful and shining.

Xi Baochen seemed to have also received the attention of a certain wife, and the appointment was put on the agenda.

Xue Mei did not participate, but her flowers played a role. Xue Mei was in a good mood.

She later went to the Wu family to give Mr. Wu a follow-up visit.

Young Master Wu is no longer in trouble.

Mrs. Wu stood beside her, smiling gently, and she didn't have any presence to outsiders, but her husband and sons were all afraid of her.

Xue Mei shivered.

Leaving from the Wu family, Xue Mei went to the blacksmith shop and asked the blacksmith to help him build a weapon.

She promised to give Xiao Jingcheng a gift.

"...This is not possible. You will go to jail if you make weapons privately." The blacksmith waved his hand quickly, "Miss, look at you with kind face, I won't report to the official, so you can leave quickly."

Xue Mei: "..."

She had to leave.

Thinking of Prince Ancheng's blacksmith shop, Xue Mei felt that she still wanted to find him.

Xue Mei didn't want anyone to know the gift she gave to Xiao Jingcheng in advance; however, the blacksmith outside would not keep it secret for her.

After thinking about it, I still have to ask for help from Prince Ancheng.

She went to the Prince's Mansion.

The little prince has not been at home these days, but has gone out of the city.

"The prince had a ship of salt and was robbed by the water bandits halfway. The prince went to handle it himself, and might have to dispatch troops to suppress the bandits." said Meiren Cai.

Xue Mei: "..."

Since the Han Dynasty, the "salt and iron official business" could not be bought or sold privately.

The little prince can even interfere with the salt business, and the emperor is really biased towards this nephew.

Xiao Mingyu was not at home, so Xue Mei went directly to the blacksmith shop last time, the one that built horseshoe.
