Chapter 112 The Four Arts Show Begins

During class, Rulan picked up incense sticks.

But then Molan was seen in front, pulling Madam Kong to ask questions.

For a moment, I felt a little unhappy.

Due to carelessness, I forgot to place an iron sheet to separate the fire from the incense burner.

I was not careful and burned the incense.

Seeing this, Molan naturally didn't want to let go of Rulan, who had always been at odds with her.

He immediately turned around and laughed at her, making Rulan embarrassed.

Minglan put the iron sheet in place and roasted it just like Hualan before her. It smelled delicious. She was just about to ask Madam Kong for advice, but she saw her two sisters quarreling again. She didn't want to step out to attract attention for a moment, so she immediately propped up her head and lost her mind unconsciously.

As for Hualan, Nanny Kong felt that she had done a good job and there was nothing more that needed to be taught. Therefore, even though she was watching Rulan and Molan quarreling, she still kept some attention on Minglan.

Seeing Minglan starting to lose focus, Nanny Kong immediately walked up to her and tapped the table gently, asking her to focus.

Seeing this, Molan no longer cared about arguing with Rulan.

Thinking that he could unite with Nanny Kong, he began to reprimand Minglan.

Teach her how to be serious and not let down her family's trust and Grandma Kong's hard work.

He treated himself as a second teacher.

Although Wang Ruofu has returned home, Molan never took Wang Ruofu to heart.

In addition, he had been used to being in the spotlight recently, so Nanny Kong didn't care and his attitude became even more arrogant.

Hua Lan said nothing about this.

She could more or less see what her grandmother and Aunt Kong were thinking.

She also didn't like Molan's increasingly excessive words and actions, so she also wanted to go with the flow.

This scene happened right before her eyes, and Madam Kong still didn't say a word.

The fire is getting more and more intense.

In addition, Madam Wang Ruofu has already returned home.

The next exciting show has already begun.

There is not much to learn and pay attention to when tasting incense, so the course goes by very quickly.

The third stage is flower arrangement.

A pot of flowers of ideas, tasting the various aspects of life.

The art of illustration has a long history and was already very popular in the court of the previous dynasty.

By the time of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it had become popular among the literati and scholars, and it developed extremely rapidly.

However, it is different from the previous dynasty’s pursuit of magnificence of flowers.

Da Zhou's illustration art is mainly based on clear and sparse styles, pursuing the beauty of lines, with connotation being more important than form.

Therefore, the people of the Great Zhou liked to associate philosophical thinking with flowers and trees.

What you are looking at is the flowers, what you are appreciating is the truth.

Therefore, there is no exact standard for the right or wrong of illustrations. It all depends on personal aesthetics and taste.

Making tea and appreciating its fragrance is an objective question, while flower arranging is a subjective question.

Flower arrangement is therefore also called "conceptual flowers", an art that highlights the illustrator's life philosophy and moral integrity.

The girls in the audience, wearing colorful shirts and skirts, picked freshly picked branches from the side and put them into dishes to match.

At the same time, Nanny Kong was also patrolling around.

Nanny Kong walked to Hualan's side and nodded secretly in her heart.

Hualan chooses elegant yellow and white flowers.

Adding a little brown adds a touch of calm, intellectual, retro and elegant feeling.

It looks bright and elegant, and not out of the ordinary.

The flower shape and branches of Mo Lan are deliberately designed to show off their beauty.

The use of bright red and purple colors makes them look gaudy but also a bit too vulgar.

It reminded people of how she usually leaned sideways to show off her slender figure in front of others. Madam Kong calmed down and said calmly:

"Your flower color combination is missing something."

When Molan saw that Nanny Kong did not give any instructions to Hualan, but only gave advice to herself, she thought that her efforts over the past few days had finally paid off, and a happy smile immediately appeared on her face.

He quickly got up and went to the side to get some more colorful branches.

Nanny Kong shook her head inwardly, but didn't say anything else.

When I reached Rulan's side.

The stamens of the orchid are mainly pink and purple.

The flowers chosen are all relatively round and fluffy, which have a playful and cute artistic conception.

This is also in line with Rulan's naughty and lively personality.

Minglan chose flowers with smaller petals.

Its appearance is very much like a flower bud, and its branches are also straight.

Grandma Kong looked around.

On the way back, he deliberately passed by Molan.

Just as Madam Kong had intended, Molan immediately leaned aside and asked the question, her face full of pride.

After Molan asked for a while, when Rulan also wanted to ask a question, Grandma Kong left "just in time".

"It's time. I'm going to go back to my room and drink some Poria paste. You guys can take care of it. I'll explain it to you when I come back."

Nanny Kong walked away lightly, and Rulan had no choice but to let go of the little hand she had just stretched out.

Between dejected and depressed.

Rulan was immediately furious when she saw Molan's smug look on her face.

She had accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction over the past few days, and now the anger in her heart was rising even more.

"Fourth sister is really hard-working. She asks Madam Kong for advice every day."

Rulan immediately challenged Molan, "Normally there aren't many places where these complicated rules and etiquette are needed. Among us sisters, only the eldest sister learned them and benefited from them. On the contrary, the fourth sister seems to be more enthusiastic than the eldest sister, as if she will definitely be able to use them in the future."

Rulan's words were both explicit and implicit mockery of Molan for taking advantage of Hualan's good fortune but not being able to distinguish between the primary and the secondary, not knowing the rules at all, and still taking the lead.

It also hinted that Molan was born out of wedlock, so there was no point for her to learn these rules.

Who is Molan?

Although she looks weak, she is naturally competitive. Lin Qinshuang has taught her by example since she was a child, and her vision is extraordinary. How can she tolerate Rulan's sarcasm?

So he whispered softly:
"Mammy said at the beginning that although these techniques of ordering tea and tasting incense are just empty formalities, it is better to learn them and not use them than not be able to learn them and end up being laughed at by others."

As she spoke, Molan smiled "kindly" at Rulan.

"My sister is stupid and afraid of bringing shame to the family in the future, so she just works harder."

Ru Lan's brows immediately furrowed.

Is she saying that she is stupid and unwilling to work hard, and will only bring shame to the daughter of the Sheng family in the future?
Rulan's face turned cold and she said bitterly:
"Since Fourth Sister knows that she is stupid, she should be more sensible and stop pestering Madam Kong all day long, which only brings trouble to the real master."

Molan was naturally unhappy when she heard this.

She also wanted to rely on Nanny Kong to spread her reputation for virtue outside, so naturally she didn't want to give up halfway.

In addition, Rulan had been scolding her from time to time these days, so she couldn't help it anymore.

Just like that, the girls talked to each other.

The husband said he was right, and the wife said she was right, and they argued until they were red in the face.

Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, Rulan immediately pulled her younger sister Minglan to join the battlefield.

Minglan naturally didn't want to confront Molan directly.

So they started to smooth things over and negotiate for peace.

It took a lot of effort to calm the situation down.

But the next moment, Molan started crying and shouting that she wanted to commit suicide.

It can be said that he has learned Lin Xiaoniang's special skills very well.
