Xie Yun almost laughed out of anger, "How can I judge? Do I need you to point fingers at me?"
"Sir, are you trying to bend the law for personal gain and deliberately favor the owner of this pot of flowers?" Han Baoqin hinted.
Xie Yun's face turned completely gloomy.
"Yes, Purple Cloud Butterfly clearly chose two pots of flowers, and she chose the one on the Dew Flower Stand first. Why did the city lord conclude that this pot was the most beautiful flower?"
"It's strange to say, in previous years, not a single pot of Purple Cloud Butterfly was selected, but this year, two pots were selected."
"There can only be one Oiran, who should it be given to?"
As the owner of the Purple Cloud Butterfly, Xie Yun could clearly feel that the Purple Cloud Butterfly favored the pot at the back more, so this pot should of course be the most favored one.
It's hateful that Han Baoqin came out to mess things up. What good could she gain by doing this? Xie Yun suddenly thought of a possibility.
He looked around at everyone with dignity, "Is the owner of the flower pot here?"
Han Baoqin said: "That's me."
Everyone: “…”
No wonder she is so active. It seems that she is unwilling to accept that she missed out on the title of Oiran.
"Since Miss Han suspects that Mr. Xie is unfair, how about asking Mr. Cui to judge for you personally?"
Everyone is very convinced of the highly respected and knowledgeable Dean Cui Mi Cui.
Han Baoqin nodded hesitantly.
In fact, she was not very confident in Cui Mi, but if she raised any objections at this time, it would probably arouse more disgust among the crowd.
Cui Mi, who was admiring the flowers somewhere in the garden, was invited over.
Han Baoqin's pot of Lingrui flowers was also brought over and placed together with Shen Yizi's pot of nameless flowers.
The flowerpots Han Baoqin used to grow flowers were obviously exquisite and high-end products, and they must have cost a lot of money.
As for Shen Yizi's pot of flowers, she had never touched it after she bought it. She just fed it a drop of spiritual spring water because she saw that the flower was a little wilted due to the sun.
The flowers are still grown in the same clay pot.
It looks tattered and old, and is completely different from the white porcelain flowerpot with lotus pattern next to it.
It's like the contrast between the ugly duckling and the white swan.
Seeing this, Han Baoqin smiled.
Unfortunately, she was too proud too soon. This was a competition of flowers, not the pots they were planted in. Even if her pots were beautiful, what would it matter? If the flowers inside were not good, no matter how exquisite the pots were, it would be useless.
After Cui Mi arrived, he looked directly at the two pots of flowers.
The first thing he looked at was the pot of Lingrui flowers.
This made Han Baoqin feel even more confident of winning.
The Lingrui flower lives up to its name “Lingrui”, with white petals, yellow stamens, and is graceful, exuding a holy scent.
Whether in terms of flower shape or color, this pot of flowers can be regarded as top quality.
In addition, Lingrui flower is extremely rare, and it is indeed worthy of the title of "Oiran".
However, when he smelled the fragrance of the flowers, Cui Mi's expression turned a little ugly.
Lingrui flower is a spiritual flower. The fragrance it emits is pure and innocent, which can make people relax completely.
But he smelled a deep scent of blood and the stench of decay and greed in the flower before him.
This is a skill developed from his long-term dealings with flowers and plants.
Through the flowers and plants, he can easily discern the character of the person who grows the flowers.
This is what is meant by judging a person by his flowers.
From this, we can see what kind of person Han Baoqin is, who nurtured a Lingrui flower into this state.
He couldn't help but look deeply at Han Baoqin.
Han Baoqin was a little frightened by his look. Even though the old man didn't say anything, she had a bad feeling.
Cui Mi looked at another pot of nameless flowers.
Seeing this, his heart trembled.
Is this... the legendary jade glass?
Its appearance is delicate and graceful, its color is pure and clear, and its taste is pure and elegant. It is a rare and top-grade product! Cui Mi surrounded Yu Liuli and couldn't bear to take his eyes away.
Xie Yun coughed lightly, pulling him out of his obsessed state.
Cui Mi's face flashed with embarrassment: "Sorry, once I see a beautiful flower, I can't help myself."
Xie Yun said: "It seems that you have made up your mind, sir?"
Cui Mi nodded: "If we are to choose the most beautiful lady, this Jade Glaze will definitely be the best."
"Jade Glaze? What is that? How come I've never heard of it?"
"I seem to have read in an ancient book that this is a magical flower. If it is used as medicine, it can cure diseases."
"Hiss! So magical?"
Everyone's eyes suddenly became fiery as they looked at the basin of jade glass.
What else did Han Baoqin not understand after hearing this? The Lingrui flower that she had carefully nurtured with her own blood and sweat actually died!
Why? She refused to accept it! Her Lingrui Flower was obviously better. Were these people blind? Thinking that if she couldn't get the oiran, she wouldn't be able to go to the City Lord's Mansion to choose things, and she would miss the chance to enter the Immortal Gate, she was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot.
"Dean Cui, how can you be sure that the thing in this broken jar is Jade Colored Glaze? If it really is Jade Colored Glaze, why would it be kept in such a broken jar?" Han Baoqin asked sharply.
The series of defeats had completely made her lose her usual calmness.
Shen Yizhi chuckled and gave her a smug smile that was enough to make her angry. "Because I didn't know this flower was Jade Liuli before. I bought it from a little beggar. But I think since the old gentleman can recognize Jade Liuli, he must have a way to prove it to everyone, right?"
Previously, Shen Yizhi had been standing quietly in the crowd, and Cui Mi hadn't noticed her. When she spoke, Cui Mi looked at her and was surprised, "You..."
Obviously he recognized that Shen Yizhi was the person who saved him on the day of the Buddha Bathing Ceremony.
Shen Yizhi smiled and nodded at him, "How are you these days, old man? Have you had any relapses?"
Cui Mi bowed to her and said, "I have to thank you, young lady. After taking your medicine, I have not had any relapses and now I am energetic every day. I wanted to come here to thank you, but I didn't know where you live, so I had to give up. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Shen Yizhi smiled and said, "My last name is Shen. This is my business card. If you want to find me in the future, just follow the address engraved on the business card."
Cui Mi took it with a smile, took a look at it, and put it into his sleeve pocket.
Han Baoqin couldn't help but say, "It turns out that Mr. Cui and the owner of Yu Liuli are old acquaintances."
The word "old acquaintance" was deliberately emphasized.
Don't be too suggestive.
