Chapter 233 Take action
When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw a young lady standing in front of a pot of Amaranthus odoratus, examining it carefully.
Seeing this, Gu Baozhu said with some pride: "This pot is of the best peony, the purple peony, which is different from ordinary flowers and plants. It is normal that this young lady has never seen it before."
After that, she pointed to several other pots and said, "Besides these, there are Yao Huang and Zhao Fen. Among them, this pot of Dou Lu is the most rare."
The peony in the pot is a light green color, looking very refreshing and elegant.
Now is not the peony season, but Gu Baozhu took great pains to collect these precious peonies just to make Bai Yiyi proud.
Seeing this, Bai Yiyi's lips curled up slightly, and she was obviously very pleased.
But at this moment, someone suddenly asked in confusion: "Miss Lin was born in Chang'an, where there are the most peonies. Logically, Miss Lin should not be unable to recognize it."
Miss Lin pursed her lips and said calmly: "Maybe I saw it wrong."
But at this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, why does this flower seem to have lost its color?"
Bai Yiyi looked in the direction and discovered that there was a hint of white in a place on the green bean pot.
A bold and lively girl stepped forward and touched a handful of petals, then exclaimed, "Oh, what kind of flower is this! My hands are all dyed green."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw this. Some people also looked at the Yao Huang and Wei Zi flowers, only to find that the petals had also been smeared with powder.
Mrs. Jiang seized the opportunity and sneered.
"I originally thought that Concubine Bai was extremely resourceful and could gather so many precious flowers and plants in such a short time. Who would have thought that it was a fraud!"
Madam Jiang sneered repeatedly and said in a sarcastic tone, "Now is not the Peony Festival, so it is understandable even if Concubine Bai cannot be found.
But if you deceive everyone for the sake of your own face, then this is a question of your character."
Everyone was whispering and talking among themselves, looking at Bai Yiyi with obvious sarcasm in their eyes.
After all, he didn't come from a noble family, so he wasn't steady enough in his actions.
Bai Yiyi was completely stunned. She suddenly looked at Gu Baozhu, only to see that she was also shocked.
It seems that my mother was cheated by the florist!
"Someone actually dared to deceive Prince Yu's Mansion by passing off inferior products as good ones. I will report this matter to His Majesty and he will be held strictly accountable!" Bai Yiyi immediately expressed her attitude.
She would rather be thought stupid than have a reputation for having evil intentions.
Gu Baozhu obviously also realized this and said hurriedly: "This is all my fault. I trusted that eloquent merchant. I didn't expect that he would dare to deceive even the palace. Such unscrupulous merchants must not be tolerated!"
The mother and daughter agreed to cover up the matter. Although everyone had different opinions, they would not dwell on it and sat down with Bai Yiyi.
Gu Jin saw everything. She glanced at the Miss Lin from Chang'an. She heard that the Lin family was discussing a marriage with the Jiang family recently, and the person they were looking at was Jiang Wanyue's brother.
It can be seen that the chess game has already been set up, just waiting for Gu Baozhu and Bai Yiyi to jump in!
If she guessed correctly, this should be just the beginning, Jiang Wanyue must have a backup plan waiting for them.
Sure enough, when the maids served the tea and snacks, several ladies frowned after taking only a sip.
Gu Baozhu picked up the teacup, eager to make everyone forget what had just happened, and said with a smile, "This is the latest Rain-Previous Longjing tea this year. You are all honored guests, so we should use the best."
After saying that, she took a sip and her eyebrows couldn't help but jump.
This tea tastes a bit strange!
