After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

The little maid's name was Yu Ting. She told Lin Qingyao that plum blossoms and wintersweet look very similar. People who are not familiar with flowers usually cannot detect the subtle differences between them.

She has grown flowers since she was a child and loves flowers, and is very knowledgeable about flowers, so she can tell the difference.

Plum blossoms and wintersweet are mainly distinguished by three aspects.

The flowering periods of the two are different. Wintersweet blooms about 2 months earlier than plum blossoms, but they are both in winter, so the two flowers can coexist.

The crowns of the two are different. Plum blossoms have trunks, weeping branches and twisted branches, while wintersweets are shrubs with clustered and upright branches.

The leaves of the two are different. Plum blossom leaves are broadly ovate to ovate in shape, while wintersweet leaves are oblong in shape.

Despite these differences, the two look very similar at first glance.

And few people know about the wintersweet variety, so most people only think of it as a plum blossom.

At that time, Xiao Jingyi had already somewhat neglected Lin Qingyao. Apart from learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for Xiao Jingyi, she spent the rest of the time asking Yu Ting for some knowledge about flowers.

Over time, I really understand a lot.

Lin Qingyao never expected that this knowledge would come in handy in this life.

"Ruyan, go get pen and paper."

Ruyan didn't know why, but still took it according to Lin Qingyao's instructions.

"Miss, here it is."

"Sister, I have an idea, but I need your help."

Lin Qingyao now needs to draw a wintersweet, but her painting skills are far inferior to Lin Qingwan. After much thought, she decided that it would be more appropriate to let her eldest sister help.

Lin Qingwan was even more confused when she heard this, but no matter what Lin Qingyao needed, as long as it was within her ability, she would never refuse.

"Yao'er, if there's anything I can do to help you just tell me."

Lin Qingyao thought for a moment, "Sister, I need you to help me draw a flower. This flower is called wintersweet. It looks very similar to plum blossoms, but there are subtle differences. I know you may not have seen it, but I know Characteristics of wintersweet. I wonder if you can draw it through my description?"

After listening to Lin Qingyao's words, Lin Qingwan seemed to understand Lin Qingyao's solution.

But it is not an easy task to draw a flower she has never seen before.

But for Lin Qingyao, she was willing to give it a try.

"Yao'er, although I'm not completely sure, I can give it a try. Please tell me."

Lin Qingyao is still very confident in Lin Qingwan's painting skills. Besides, she has seen wintersweet with her own eyes. Even if her elder sister's painting doesn't look like it, she can help her to modify it.

Lin Qingyao described the appearance of wintersweet in detail. Lin Qingwan imagined it in her mind based on what Lin Qingyao said, and then began to paint.

Lin Qingwan already had the image of wintersweet in her mind, and soon the wintersweet on the paper began to take shape.

Lin Qingyao then guided Lin Qingwan to modify the details, and a beautiful wintersweet appeared on the paper.

"Sister, it's done, the wintersweet looks like this. I still need to trouble big sister. Based on this wintersweet, try to get closer to the plum blossom on the handkerchief and draw a wintersweet that is similar to this plum blossom. Sister, do you understand what I mean?"

After listening to Lin Qingyao's words, Lin Qingwan was even more sure of what she meant.

Lin Qingwan nodded, "Yao'er, I understand what you mean, don't worry and leave it to me."

After Lin Qingwan finished speaking, she concentrated on painting.

In less than half a stick of incense, Lin Qingwan had completed the painting.

Lin Qingwan handed the painting to Lin Qingyao, "Yao'er, I'm done. Can you see if it has the effect you want?"

Lin Qingyao compared them carefully, and could not tell the difference at first glance. Only by careful observation could one find this subtle difference, which was enough to confuse the fake with the real thing.

Lin Qingyao held Lin Qingwan's hand excitedly, "Sister, you are still the best. This is what I want."

Lin Qingwan said modestly: "I'm so good. It's because you describe it clearly, Yao'er, that I can draw it."

Lin Qingyao handed the painting to Qiu Han aside, "Qiu Han, go to Jinxiu Workshop to find Lady Jinxiu and ask her to make a handkerchief of the same material according to this style. Time is tight, so she must make it within three days. Give her three times Two of them are for her hard work, and the other is hush money. Jinxiu Niang is an old man in Jinxiufang, she should know how to do it. "

Jinxiu Niang has been in Jinxiufang for more than ten years and has a close relationship with Zhongyong Houfu. Not only is he good at his craftsmanship, but most importantly, he is sensible. He never talks too much and speaks to the point. He is a trustworthy person.

Therefore, when this happened, the first thing Lin Qingyao thought of was her.

"Yes, miss, I know what to do."

Jinxiu Niang moved very quickly, and in less than two days, the handkerchief was ready.

Lin Qingyao took the handkerchief from Qiu Han, inspected it carefully and nodded with satisfaction.

Sure enough, she was right about the wrong person, and she was right to contact Jinxiu Niang about this matter.

The handkerchief is ready, but there is still one extremely important step left to make it look real.

This handkerchief must have Lin Qingyao's scent so that Lin Qingrou won't become suspicious.

Lin Qingyao used an incense prepared by Ru Bing on weekdays. It not only tasted unique, but was also beneficial to the body.

Lin Qingyao used it almost every day. This fragrance has been integrated into Lin Qingyao's body fragrance. Naturally, this smell is indispensable on the handkerchief she carries with her.

"Ru Bing, you are more careful. Take this handkerchief to incense it. The one you make for me must have a uniform flavor. This is a very important step, so be sure to be careful."

Ru Bing took the handkerchief and said respectfully: "Yes, please rest assured, young lady, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Ru Bing spent a whole night completing the task assigned by Lin Qingyao, and this fake handkerchief was completed.

Lin Qingyao put the two handkerchiefs together, and they looked exactly the same to everyone.

Based on Lin Qingyao's understanding of Lin Qingrou, she would not look at it so carefully. At most, she would just confirm whether there was Lin Qingyao's scent on the handkerchief.

"Ruyan, you can go on business now."

Ruyan nodded when he heard the words and said with a smile: "Yes, miss, I will go on a business trip right now."

After Ruyan finished speaking, she took the handkerchief and turned around and walked out the door.

Ruyan arrived at Roushui Pavilion cautiously. When Xia Ju saw Ruyan coming, she knew she had succeeded and hurriedly took her in.

"Miss, Ruyan is here."

Lin Qingrou was also happy when she heard Ruyan's name and hurriedly sat up from the couch.

"This slave has met Miss Third."

Lin Qingrou hurriedly waved her hand, "Quickly excuse me. How about it? Did you succeed?"

Seeing Lin Qingrou's eager look, Ruyan smiled secretly and nodded.

"If you tell me back to Miss Third, I have already got it."

After Ruyan finished speaking, she handed the handkerchief to Lin Qingrou.

Just as Lin Qingyao expected, Lin Qingrou smiled when she saw the "plum blossoms" on it. She put the handkerchief on the tip of her nose and smelled it, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
