Su Wan continued: "But I also believe that he is definitely not that kind of person. When I chose my husband before, I chose him from thousands of choices. His character is naturally passable."
"It's just that no news has come back for such a long time. I was worried and couldn't sit still, so I wanted to go and have a look. I happened to be passing by here and heard that your lotus picking competition was particularly exciting, so I stayed to have a look."
When the girls heard this, they no longer asked her where she came from, and instead tried to persuade her.
Nian Jinniang said: "Of course it won't happen. How many women in this world can compare with you, Sister Pingwei? This brother-in-law would only look at others if he is blind."
Su Xiuzhi also nodded: "That's exactly the truth."
"They say that men are lustful. They say that admiring you has nothing to do with your appearance. But if you are ugly, he will definitely not admire you, and he will not even know who you are."
"If you are good-looking, you will naturally be the only one in his eyes, and no one else will be able to see you."
"There is some truth in what the girl said." Su Wan smiled softly, "After all, appearance is given by our parents, that's how it is, but we can make our skin whiter and take care of ourselves better."
So she turned around and talked about skin care, what kind of shampoo to use to nourish her hair, what kind of balm to use to nourish her hands, what else to use on her face...
A group of girls also chatted with her about the makeup and powder they used on daily basis, and shared what they used.
Xiao Sang breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that her palms were actually sweating just now.
Although it is said that the wife and the young master have a good relationship, it is always inappropriate to smear the young master like this. If the young master knows about it, he may have opinions. If this happens too much, it may affect the relationship between the husband and wife.
Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, she came back on her own.
Xiao Sang felt that after her master got married, he became more and more naughty and dared to say anything, so she relied on the young master to indulge her.
Alas, it is really difficult for her to be a personal maid.
Su Wan talked with a few girls about powder and balm for a while, and recommended several balms to them, all of which she had used well before. However, after Sun Xiang came, some of the things she used were replaced by Sun Xiang's own. made.
It was almost time now, and the lotus picking competition was about to begin. A woman with long black hair and dressed like a witch climbed onto the waterfront platform to recite incantations. The words she read in her mouth were a bit like Sanskrit, but also a bit like Sanskrit. Not like that.
Su Wan was a little curious and asked Nian Jinniang: "What is she reading?"
Nian Jinniang shook her head: "I don't know, it was recited like this a long time ago, and the people behind me have been reciting it, probably to pray for peace and to pray for the gods to suppress the monsters making trouble in the lake, and not to let them come out to cause trouble. Cause flooding and stuff like that.”
"But there is a legend about the Lotus Fairy. It is precisely because of this legend that the Lotus Picking Competition was held later and the Lotus Girl was born."
"Oh? Legend? Tell it."
"It is said that a long time ago, Lianhua Lake overflowed, and the floods were monstrous, and the surrounding people were in dire straits. One day, a lotus fairy passed by, subdued the monsters in the lake, and suppressed them in the lake, so the flooding of Lianhua Lake stopped. When we come down, the surrounding area becomes more and more crowded.”
"Later, the settlements became villages, and the villages became small towns. The small towns became bigger and bigger, and they became Lotus City."
When Su Wan heard what she said, he understood why the lotus girl was so highly respected by the people and was given a special status. She was held in such high esteem, which meant that she was regarded as a goddess serving the gods.
Speaking of this, Nian Jinniang became even more angry: "People like Qinglian have simply insulted the Lotus Fairy. They have even thrown the face of generations of Lotus Girls to the ground and trampled on them. The holy and pure Lotus Girl has turned into a man. What is the difference between something that can be played with and the top card of Fengyue Tower?"
Su Wan squeezed the handle of the white fan in her hand and shook it gently: "If she does such a thing, why can't anyone cure her and let her flaunt her identity like a lotus girl?"
Nian Jinniang gritted her teeth: "It's not because she has countless ministers under her skirt, and there are always people protecting her. No one else can do anything to her. I can only wish that she died early."
"You're so good-looking and amazing!"
Su Wan paused and thought to herself, girl, you are right. Being good-looking is great, and having a rich family is also great.
Seeing that the little girl was about to explode with anger, she tried to persuade her: "Being good-looking is indeed a bit of a big deal, but being rich and powerful is also a big deal. Although you are not as good-looking as her, you are richer and more powerful than her. "
"You see, she is so beautiful, but she still bends down and shows off for money and power."
Nian Jinniang exclaimed, and she thought it made sense. She rubbed her hands and suggested, "Sister Pingwei, do you think that if I throw money at her, will she also sell it to me and take good care of me? "
Thinking of this, she was actually a little excited. She laughed and looked at the girl next to her, seeming to be moved.
"What you think is beautiful." Su Wan quickly interrupted her dangerous thoughts, "If you really do this, people may accuse you of humiliating her. When the time comes, she refuses to obey, and the shame will be yours."
"Not only is it embarrassing, but the world will also think that you are stupid and shameless. If this spreads, you will never have a chance to live a good life."
Girl, can you be smarter?
Nian Jinniang's face suddenly changed, and she turned pale. Although she was a little out of touch, she was not stupid. She knew how important reputation was to a girl. If her reputation was ruined, then...
She shrank her neck, feeling a little depressed, and sighed: "Then what should we do? We can't let her stay in the position of Lotus Girl forever."
Su Wan thought about it and said, "You mentioned before that there are some pretty good girls. Which girls are they?"
Nian Jinniang mentioned a few names. There were six girls in total. The girls participating in the lotus picking competition were all carefully selected. They were all lotus picking girls with excellent water skills. There had also been an elimination competition before. The remaining Twenty-three girls.
It's quite similar to the finals.
Su Wan smiled and said, "This is easy to handle."
Su Wan stretched out his hand to recruit a guard: "Go and shout to the side, saying that I have taken a fancy to these girls. As long as any of these girls wins, I will give you a reward of three thousand taels." silver."
At this moment, the witch finished reciting the incantation, held three cigarettes in both hands, and worshiped the gods three times facing the lake. After worshiping, she was ready to start.
The guard took the order and walked to the corridor, then shouted loudly to the lake: "My wife has chosen six girls, three, six, eight, thirteen, nineteen and twenty-two. I hope they can come back victorious. Therefore, three thousand taels of silver are added as a bonus, and no matter which one of the six girls wins, they can come and receive it——"
