I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

This group of fragrant banquets will go through three rounds.

The first round was to go to the lakeside stands, and then ordinary people visiting the Qunfang Pavilion would cast lots to determine the top thirty.

In order to ensure fairness and justice, the lottery tickets are randomly distributed to the tourists by government officials on the same day, which also avoids the possibility of behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Therefore, these flowers have to be placed on the stands for a while, waiting for the people who have received the lots to cast their lots, and then the thirty flowers with the most lots will be selected to enter the inner hall.

The inner hall is full of dignitaries.

Of course, most of the well-known families in the capital city brought flowers to the banquet.

In the outer hall, there are not many masters like Changsheng who personally look after the flowers. In each mansion, there is a steward with some reputation who acts on behalf of the master.

Shen Rong and the others didn't have to wait long. After a while, the number of tourists in the foreign pavilion gradually increased. A closer look showed that many people were holding red flower sticks in their hands.

The flower sticks are the same length as the sticks used for drawing fortunes in temples. They are not only carved with flowers, but also numbered, completely eliminating the possibility of counterfeiting.

These people were obviously familiar with the process, but many of them were participating in such an event for the first time, and their faces turned red with excitement.

It has to be said that the large size of the flowers is quite an advantage. The first things the common people saw were the two colorful flowers that were as tall as a person, the Eighteen Scholars and the Multi-colored Rose.

These two flowers are truly stunning. Their brilliant colors really make people itch and overshadow the flowers of other colors.

It’s not that other flowers are not good enough or precious enough.

The nobles paid attention to the arrangement and meaning of the flowers when appreciating them.

From ancient times to the present, flowers that represent profound meaning, artistic conception, integrity and character are nothing more than plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and lotus. Even the elegant peony is often disliked by literati as being too gaudy and tacky.

However, the few kinds of flowers that are highly praised by noble families have already been seen enough during the Flower Festival in recent years. They are the same ones every year and there is no novelty at all.

Therefore, if someone brings out novel flowers, they will always be more eye-catching than those common flowers.

In the outer hall, more and more people were holding red sticks in their hands. They looked at the plant with the Eighteen Scholars and then at the cluster of multi-colored roses.

Some people recognized it as Rose and exclaimed in surprise.

This is because roses are very common in Dayong, and ordinary people can afford to plant one in their yard. They are easy to grow and bloom a lot.

Ordinary people can't help but be amazed when they see that common flowers can be grown in so many colors.

Therefore, a lot of red lots were thrown into the basket in front of the flower stand.

However, the eighteen scholars were no less impressive, and many people liked them, casting just as many lots as Shen Rong's.

There were quite a lot of flowers on the stands, some that bloomed in early spring and some that bloomed in late spring, all blooming at the same time. There were peonies, crabapples, magnolias, figs, wisterias, peonies, forsythias, single-color roses, two-color roses, plum blossoms and other flowers, which were densely packed throughout the stands.

That’s not all. Each type of flower has many colors and varieties, so there are quite a lot of flowers at the banquet.

Shen Rong stood by and watched for such a long time, and through the words of those flower protectors, she gradually learned some of the taboos here.

If you have never participated in the Banquet of Beauties, you probably won't know about these taboos.

It must be said that she and Changsheng were somewhat lucky. They accidentally avoided all the things they needed to pay attention to.

After an hour, the people who received the red sticks put them into the baskets in front of their favorite flowers.

Soon someone came to count the lots and then recorded the number each flower received in a book.

Shen Rong noticed with her sharp eyes that several kinds of flowers on the stands had not received any sticks.

Looking at the flowers again, they looked very ordinary, no wonder they didn't get any spots.

Shen Rong looked at the sticks in her basket again and had an idea in her mind.

With these picks, their flowers should make it to the second round.

Among that row of flowers, in addition to the Eighteen Scholars and the Multi-Colored Roses that received a lot of lots, there was also a Twin Lotus that also received a lot of lots.

The twin lotus flowers are pink and white, which has a good meaning. No wonder I got so many lucky numbers.

There are also the pink and purple peonies, Erqiao, and the crabapple tree...

The capital city is rich after all, and there are many rare and famous flowers and plants.

Soon, the people counting over there sorted out all the rankings.

The flowers that entered the second round included the eighteen scholars of the Liu family, as well as the multi-colored roses, lotus flowers, and crabapple trees prepared by Shen Rong and his wife...

In short, the flowers that follow are still the same flowers from previous years, with only some changes in varieties and colors.

After entering the second round, Changsheng picked up the large pot of flowers and followed the steward into the inner hall with the other selected people.

Shen Rong followed closely with her two children.

The outer hall is mostly natural scenery, while the inner hall has more pavilions, towers and corridors.

The stand for displaying flowers this time is right under the corridor.

The nobles were admiring the flowers in the pavilions opposite.

The second step requires the noble families present to vote for the thirty kinds of flowers.

There were thirty pots of flowers, the large cluster of colorful flowers owned by Changsheng, and the one plant owned by Eighteen Scholars that was as tall as a person, which attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered the inner hall.

Such a big Eighteen Scholars tree is sure to make those who love camellia drool upon seeing it.

And the pot of flowers that Changsheng was holding, which looked like the hydrangea made by the young lady, made people unable to help but take a second look.

The multi-colored roses that originally had an advantage in the past no longer had an advantage in the eyes of these particular nobles.

However, such multi-colored flowers still make people feel curious, after all, it is the first time for everyone to see them.

Several wives of minor officials were in the attic, looking at the flowers below and talking about them.

"This flower looks like a rose."

"No, it should be Rose."

"I think they are both similar, but the words that are given are better than those two."

Chen Yuan's husband was a Hanlin, so he was also among them.

When she saw Changsheng, her eyes sparkled.

Today, she came with her sister-in-law to attend the banquet for all the beauties. Unexpectedly, Shen Rong brought that idiot with her and brought such an eye-catching pot of flowers.

A hint of jealousy flashed through Chen Yuan's heart.

The Earl's Mansion participated in the banquet for all the beauties and just followed the crowd by sending a pot of peonies. However, it didn't even pass the preliminary selection. When Chen Yuan saw the pot of flowers next to Changsheng, he couldn't help but secretly feel jealous.

Although the Yiyong Marquis's Mansion is a new noble family and has some power in the capital, it was confiscated once by the previous emperor and has a poor foundation. It is impossible for them to spend a lot of money on these flowers and plants.

Uncle Yiyong's family has been in Beijing for several years, following the crowd every year. It would have been fine in the past, but Shen Rong and his wife happened to jump out at this time and took out a pot of such eye-catching and rare flowers.

What does this mean?

The famous poor family in the capital might not be so poor, and might even live better than her!

Chen Yuan calmed down and said, "The flowers have so many colors, could they be dyed?"

She was not making this up. Even in the developed future, Chen Yuan had never seen flowers with so many colors and beautiful shapes.

When Chen Yuan said this, many people echoed him.

"I think it's possible. I've never seen flowers of so many colors in my life!"

Some people agreed with Chen Yuan's words, while others refuted them.

"This flower does have more colors, but that doesn't mean it can't be grown!"
