Chapter 71 The Medical Fairy’s father’s martial arts are invincible in the world!
Si Yuan was not surprised at all that Fuling chose the male lead, the female lead and the male supporting role, because Fuling chose her playmates purely based on their appearance, and the playmates she chose were all the most handsome among the sixty-one people.
Bai Junting, Ye Qingqing, and Li Zhengyun, as the male and female protagonists and the male supporting role in the original plot, are also the three most handsome people in the group. It is not surprising that they are favored by Xiao Fuling.
Si Yuan didn't deliberately eliminate the three characters just because they were the male and female protagonists and the male supporting role in the original plot. Anyway, he had already ruined the plot so much that even the background setting was gone. Xiao Fuling liked the three good-looking ones, so he just kept the three characters to play with Xiao Fuling.
Si Yuan adopts a more indulgent parenting style towards his daughter Fuling. As long as she doesn't go astray, he will not control the direction of Fuling's growth. She can do whatever she likes. Anyway, her mission in this world has been completed, and she doesn't need to bear any constraints.
Xiao Fuling finally selected seven playmates, and the remaining boys and girls were rejected. Their families were extremely disappointed and asked to see Emperor Cheng Qian to find out if there would be another draft.
Emperor Cheng Qian wanted to please Si Yuan, so naturally he would not hold only one beauty pageant. Judging from his own experience, as an emperor he wanted something new when selecting beauties every year, so naturally he thought that little Fuling wanted a new playmate every year.
So Emperor Chengqian agreed to hold it once a year in the future.
The families of those who were not selected became excited and went back home to teach their children well and strive to get into the next draft.
At the same time, they did not forget to find out why the seven boys and girls were chosen by Miss Fuling.
After searching for a long time, they finally found that the seven children selected were the best looking of all the children.
Got it, only those with good looks can be selected.
After my child returns home, I will take good care of myself and dress well, so that when the talent show starts next year, I will definitely outshine all the other girls.
As a result, a trend of taking care of and dressing up children started in the capital.
Seeing this, Si Yuan quickly called on Emperor Cheng Qian to stop.
It's too much to choose a playmate for Fuling every year. A playmate is different from the emperor's harem. It's better to cultivate the relationship after choosing one.
Si Yuan spread the word that he would only choose this time and not next year. He didn't say anything final. If any of the seven people selected this time are not suitable, they can still choose and change them later.
Si Yuan and Emperor Cheng Qian are worried about Fuling's selection, but little Fuling is very carefree and has no idea of the undercurrents behind it. She is only happy about making new friends.
Little Fuling brought the seven new friends to his herbal garden in the Imperial Master's Mansion and said to them, "I come here every day to learn how to take care of these herbs. You should learn with me, too."
Little Fuling was passionate about studying medicine and always treated it as a game, so she wanted to play with her new friends, so she brought her new friends to study medicine together.
However, the youngest of these boys and girls was eight years old and the oldest was twelve. None of them were interested in farming or using medicinal herbs. They looked at the herb garden in front of them with blank faces. They didn’t recognize these herbs at all, and didn’t know how to start.
They all remembered that their elders at home had told them to be obedient and to please little Fuling, but they themselves were the young masters and young ladies who were flattered and fawned upon at home, so how could they know how to please little Fuling now?
They were stunned. The one who reacted the fastest was a boy who looked healthy. He approached little Fuling and said, "Sister Fuling, my name is Tong Yao. Do you remember me, Sister Fuling?"
Tong Yao is nine years old this year, one year younger than Fuling. He is the son of Tong Zheng, the former magistrate of Qingyang County. He used to be weak and sickly, but became so strong by drinking jujube leaf water. When he was young, he went with his father Tong Zheng to visit Si Yuan at Li's house in Liuxian Village, and met the little Fuling at that time.
Little Fuling looked at Tong Yao, blinked, and said as a matter of course: "Of course I remember, you are Brother Yao, if I didn't remember you, why would I choose you?"
Although Tong Yao is cute with a chubby face and good looks, his healthy wheat-colored skin does not actually suit Xiao Fuling's aesthetic taste. She prefers the handsome and elegant types like Bai Junting and Li Zhengyun.
So among the eight playmates, except Tong Yao, an old acquaintance she had met in her hometown village, the others were selected according to her aesthetic type.
Of course it is good-looking, but it is completely different from Tong Yao’s type of good-looking.
Little Fuling said with a smile, "I not only remember you, Yao'er, but also Uncle Tong and Aunt Zhao." Little Fuling, who had been cleansed by Si Yuan since childhood, has an excellent memory. Before Si Yuan came to Beijing, Tong Zheng often brought his wife and children to the Li family to show his presence in front of Si Yuan. It was good enough if Si Yuan could see them five times out of ten times. But Tong Zheng was unwilling to return empty-handed, so he took his wife and children to build good relationships with other people in the Li family.
Among them, Xiao Fuling got along well with Tong Yao.
Even though they had come to Beijing and several years had passed, the two met very seldom and had no chance to play together anymore, but Xiao Fuling still remembered the friendship they had played together when they were young, and when she saw Tong Yao was also running for the election, of course she wanted to keep him.
When the other six people saw Tong Yao happily reminiscing about the past with Fuling, a sense of crisis arose in their hearts.
Tong Yao and Fuling knew each other before. They might even be childhood sweethearts. Their friendship is extraordinary.
As a result, the other six people felt a little nervous. As they were entrusted with important tasks by their family, no one wanted to fall behind Tong Yao.
As the oldest boy, Bai Junting had matured early and was more scheming than the other boys. After a brief thought, he stepped forward and interrupted the two people who were reminiscing about the past, saying, "Congratulations, Miss Fuling, on meeting an old friend again!"
He successfully attracted Fuling's attention to himself.
Fuling and Tong Yao looked at Bai Junting. Having been brought up as the heir of the Bai family, he was naturally not a scheming person. However, he was handsome, fair-skinned, with an upright figure, not very old, and with a faint smile on his face, he looked like a brother next door, and people did not feel on guard against him at all.
So even though he interrupted the reminiscence between Fuling and Tong Yao, the two did not blame him. Fuling even asked him curiously, "What's your name?"
Tong Yao raised a simple smile on his face and answered Fuling: "I know, I know, Sister Fuling, his name is Bai Junting, I have known Brother Bai before, Brother Bai is really handsome, Tong Yao also likes Brother Bai."
Tong Yao's tone was lively and cute when he answered the question, just like a naive little brother who thought that he would be praised by others if he answered the question first. Fuling's attention returned to him again, and she smiled and praised him: "Brother Yao is really smart."
Under the guidance of the miracle doctor, Fuling has become accustomed to being kind to others. This compliment is actually just a polite compliment. She doesn't really think that Tong Yao is smart for remembering Bai Junting's name.
Tong Yao seemed to be extremely happy as if he had received some kind of affirmation. He quickly came close to Fuling and boasted, "Sister Fuling, I remember not only Brother Bai's name, but also everyone else's name. I also know the names of every one of the people who failed to be selected. My memory is really good."
Fuling looked at him with a little surprise. This meant that he really had a good memory. He was able to remember the names of sixty-one people in a short period of time, and each of them matched their appearance with the name. This was not something an ordinary nine-year-old child could do.
Fuling, who had a photographic memory since childhood, began to look at Tong Yao with a different eye. She thought Tong Yao was just like her, able to remember everything he saw or heard.
It turns out that they are the same kind of people - both are gifted children with photographic memories.
Fuling asked, "Brother Yao, you said you remembered everyone's names, so can you introduce the other five people to me?"
As if Tong Yao was busy proving that he was not bragging, he introduced the remaining five people to Fuling. He not only knew their names, but also their family backgrounds. His introductions were very detailed and thoughtful.
This time, not only Fuling was surprised, but even the other teenagers who thought Tong Yao was bragging looked at Tong Yao in surprise.
Because he really was not wrong, no matter how big or small the matter was, he did not make any mistakes at all.
Bai Junting, whose right to speak was easily snatched away by Tong Yao, looked deeply at this scene of Tong Yao stealing the limelight, and secretly determined in his heart that Tong Yao was indeed his strong rival.
At this time, Fuling had no idea that she had not finished talking to Bai Junting, and was busy making new friends.
She also had an excellent memory. With Tong Yao's introduction, she easily memorized everyone's appearance and name, and greeted them seriously.
Among the other five people who had become invisible before, Ye Qingqing was only concerned about Bai Junting and didn't care about these things at all. She was even a little perfunctory towards Fuling and completely forgot about her parents' instructions before the future audition.
Ye Qingqing felt extremely distressed when she saw Bai Junting standing alone by the side after being ignored by Tong Yao and Fuling.
So after Tong Yao introduced herself, Ye Qingqing stepped out and bowed slightly to Fuling, then naturally stood next to Bai Junting.
Everyone else was busy trying to attract Fuling's attention, and no one noticed where Ye Qingqing, the taciturn competitor who didn't even smile, was standing.
Ye Qingqing stood beside Bai Junting with a worried mood, and carefully lowered her voice and whispered: "Brother Ting, are you okay?"
Bai Junting shook his head slightly, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said to Ye Qingqing gently: "I'm fine, I just miss my parents a little bit. After all, I will live in the capital from now on."
Ye Qingqing was young and naive, and she really thought that Bai Junting looked unhappy because he missed his parents.
