Although Lu Xian was closer to Luo Lingyu in his heart, he had to admit that at least in the "Flower God Selection", Luo cousin was not as good as that Zhou girl. If she and Zhou girl participated in the competition in the same year, Luo cousin would lose badly. Because that girl won not only because of her talent, but also because of her broad mind and integrity... This is what the ancient celebrities loved.
Luo Lingyu doesn't have such a thing.
Lu Xian advised: "Cousin, let's compete again next year, okay?"
By next year, the daylilies will be cold. Luo Lingyu didn't take it seriously: "No... cousin, it's just for fun. Are you afraid that I will lose? It doesn't matter if I lose, I don't care. Cousin, just vote for me when the time comes."
She didn't believe she would lose to Chen Xiu and Princess Pingning Liu Tang. Apart from these two women, Luo Lingyu felt that no one could threaten her, and she believed in her own methods. She was determined to become the "Goddess of Flowers" and have celebrities paint her and include her in their "Portraits of Ladies". Even Lu Yun, the plum-seeking hermit...maybe he would be surprised and paint for her.
She took a deep breath and wanted to make Lu Sanlang think highly of her. She wanted him to know that she was much better than he thought... It was he who could not reach her, not her.
Lu Xian couldn't persuade Luo Lingyu, and in the end he was persuaded by the sharp-tongued Luo Lingyu to help her canvass for votes and win more husbands for her. Lu Erlang naturally drew Hengyang Prince Liu Mu into his goal. Liu Mu had no intention of interfering with their "Flower God Selection" at first, but who would have thought that Lu Erlang was sick and ran to his house every day to tell him how good his cousin Luo was... Liu Mu cursed behind people's backs: "Is Lu Erlang crazy? He likes his cousin Luo so much, he can just ask for her hand in marriage, why is he always chasing me?"
Mr. Kong is very wise, but he is also puzzled.
…
The Flower God Selection lasted for five days, and the music and dance were on the third day. After breakfast at home, Luo Lingyu took Lian Qiniang and took a long-canopied carriage to "Hualin Garden". Hualin Garden was originally a royal garden. For the "Flower God Selection", the royal family specially lent the place to these noble men and women. This was the first time that Miss Luo Yunhuan went out with her sister since she came to Jianye. Sitting on the ox cart, leaning against her sister, Luo Yunhuan lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside curiously, secretly warning herself to be careful and not to cause trouble for her sister.
Because it was still early, when their ox cart left Wuyi Lane, there were few pedestrians on both sides of the street. Luo Yunhuan couldn't help but lift the curtain to look outside, and Luo Lingyu followed her with great interest and occasionally glanced. Suddenly, Luo Lingyu saw her sister staring in one direction for a long time, with a knot in her big eyes on her little face - Luo Lingyu walked over and looked in the direction of her sister's sight, and saw a thin figure of a man kneeling on the ground on the bank of the Qinhuai River, not moving for a long time.
Luo Yunhuan bit her finger: So pitiful... I really want to save him... But I'm afraid of causing trouble for my sister...
Luo Lingyu's eyes lit up: Look at the man's clothes and the temperament revealed by his back... he must be a man from a noble family!
With a thought in her mind, Luo Lingyu hurriedly said, "Stop the car, go check on that young man..."
Luo Yunhua turned her head with wide eyes in surprise, and saw her sister busy ordering people to stop the car and go to the Qinhuai River to rescue her husband. After he was rescued in the car, Luo Lingyu looked down and saw that he was a handsome young man with long eyelashes, red lips and fair skin, and a temperament as beautiful as orchid and bamboo. She was relieved. Young men from famous families are always outstanding in appearance and temperament. This man looks like this... he must be from a wealthy family.
Luo's daughter's dream of marrying into a noble family has never come true.
"Girl, does this gentleman seem to have fainted from heat stroke?" The maid Lingyu hesitated and opened the window pane to look at the sun outside: The sun has just come out, it shouldn't be hot, right? How can this cause heat stroke?
Luo Lingyu didn't care about that. She just stared at the handsome young man they brought into the car: "Don't worry about that. Give him some water. He must have suffered a lot..."
Luo Yunhua: “…”
The ox cart continued to move slowly, and after a long time, the young man they rescued slowly woke up. His eyelashes trembled slightly, like a swift waking up. When he opened his eyes, his mind was clear and his eyes were bright. The young man was so weak that he leaned against the wall of the cart and had difficulty sitting up. His long hair was scattered and covered his face, messy but beautiful. His appearance made the people who were used to seeing beautiful women, including Luo Lingyu, stunned for a moment.
After the young man sat up, he smiled at them shyly and said, "Thank you very much, benefactor... I have been weak since I was young, so I am sorry for being rude."
The handsome young man sat against the wall of the carriage, the light from outside shone through the curtains, spots flowing like water, shining on him. When he spoke, the young man lowered his head slightly, his voice was soft, his eyes were moving, and he had a kind of androgynous beauty.
Luo Lingyu's beautiful eyes were filled with more and more surprise. She lowered her body, took the bowl from the maid, and personally fed her husband water: "What is your name, my husband?"
The young man said gently: "My surname is Zhou, and my name is... Zibo."
Luo Lingyu: "It's Zhou Lang!"
How handsome Zhou Lang is!
Chapter 40
Two long-canopied carriages were sent to "Hua Lin Garden", one of which was occupied by the maid and the dancer Lian Qiniang, and the other was occupied by Luo Lingyu and her sister. After they rescued the young man and put him in the carriage, the maid Lingyu came from the carriage behind and came to Luo Lingyu's side to help take care of the young man.
The young man called himself "Zhou Zibo". He was over 17 years old and came to Jianye from another place. As a newcomer, Zhou Zibo was not familiar with Jianye and relied on Luo Lingyu for guidance.
Luo Lingyu smiled with her hands covering her lips, her cheeks reddened: "I am also from another place. I came from Nanyang, and I have been in Jianye for only a month. I am not very familiar with this place either."
Zhou Lang raised his eyebrows, and the hook-like provocation, the dark and focused eyes when he looked at people, and the warm temperament like spring breeze on him... all made Luo Lingyu happy and approached him. Luo Lingyu looked at Zhou Lang sideways. Since she knew that the person she and her sister saved last time was Lu Yun, Luo Lingyu changed her style of doing things——
If you meet someone who needs help on the road, even if he looks like a poor person with no power or status, you should not judge him by his appearance... What if he is another "Lu Saburo"?
The current Zhou Lang has eyes like warm jade, and he is handsome and amiable. Although his face is pale and he seems to be in poor health... but judging from his words and actions, the possibility that he is the second "Lu Sanlang" is very high.
