Chapter 204: The Zhou Family
"This flower is really beautiful when it is in full bloom!" Su Ling looked at the patches of poppies. "When I saw it when I was in Guan Ju Palace, I thought it was very beautiful. ”
"yes! The blockbuster is really nice when it's open. Su said with a smile. "The seeds were found by your cousin, but they are also very easy to plant, so you don't have to worry about them. ”
Looking at the poppies of He Yanye all the way, Su took Su Ling and a few others to the greenhouse. The samurai's greenhouse is indeed very large, and there are all kinds of flowers growing in it. Many flowers are relatively fragile and can't withstand the cold of the capital, so they are placed in greenhouses.
A few blood-red rhododendrons are growing very well, and it is the time of full bloom, and the large clusters of flowers are blooming at the top, and that is a really beautiful scene. Such rhododendrons, one by one, are clustered together, and they are very close.
The colors are very bright, and they are really beautiful.
"I heard that such a rhododendron only grows in the southwest borderland, but I didn't expect to see it here in the second aunt!" Su Ling gently stroked the petals of the azalea.
Su Shi was stunned for a moment, as if he was in a daze. Su Ling looked at her carefully, could it be that there was any story in it? In fact, who would have carefully sent the cuckoo to the capital from such a distance.
This kind of rhododendron is not easy to grow, and it is not difficult to cultivate if it is in the place where it is originally grown. If you want to change places, the climate is very different, and it is not easy to cultivate and survive. And it's a long way off.
People who can be so attentive should have an unusual relationship. The samurai's cuckoo seems to have been planted for many years. In a past life. When she returned to the capital, she met her at the samurai family. The old man who once asked about the martial arts family seemed to be at the time when Wu Yuxin was born. And the cuckoo was planted.
All of a sudden, many years have passed. As for who sent these cuckoos, I didn't ask too much, so I didn't know all along.
"It was sent by a friend. Su Shi soon came to his senses, restrained his emotions, and laughed again. "I think it looks good when I plant it, so I will take care of it for a while. ”
The crowd walked around the greenhouse. After admiring the flowers, I went back to sit in the main hall. After Su Ling had lunch at the martial arts, he got up to say goodbye. Su sent them out.
"Come here when you're free!" Su said with a smile.
"Yes, if it's free. I'll definitely come and sit more. Su Zhen said with a grin. Now that the family doesn't lock her up, it's easier for her to go out. It's really uncomfortable to be locked up in the house all these days.
I thought I couldn't leave that yard at all, where I could see it. It's just that one yard. When I looked up, I could only see that big sky.
Days like that. She really didn't want to live anymore. But in the future, what else can she do? Do you really want to accept her fate like this? Even her cousin advised her to be more obedient at home.
But isn't she good enough? she's been well-behaved for so many years. In fact, she just doesn't like others to ignore her thoughts, so she decided her future life.
Or maybe she gets along with her cousin a lot, and she also learns that she doesn't like to accept her fate!
After leaving the samurai, the carriage moved slowly. "Eldest sister, you seem to have a lot to do with the tweed in the second aunt's house!" Yingxin was a little puzzled. "Is the eldest sister also used to those flowers? If you are used to the flowers of that azalea, you can let people cultivate some too!"
In fact, there are a lot of flowers and trees at home! It can also be found by people. Even in the outlying areas, it's not a big deal.
But there's something strange about her. Although the eldest sister looked very interested, she didn't ask for seeds. Didn't the second aunt say that it was easy to cultivate, and the seeds were easy to obtain. If the eldest sister really wants it, she should be able to speak at that time!
"No, it's just that I haven't seen anything like that before, so it's a bit rare. Su Ling smiled. "Thinking about sending a few plants from such a distant place, the person who sent the flowers should have a good relationship with the second aunt!"
"That's it!"
"I always thought that the cuckoo of the second aunt's family was good-looking, and I really didn't ask who sent it. Since the second aunt said that they are friends, they should be friends!" Su Zhen said with a smile.
Sister Lobby is really strange, it's just flowers and trees, what's there to be curious about! As for the person who sent it, what is the important thing. Isn't it common for friends to send things to each other? It's just that things are sent far away.
I've really lived outside for a few years, and I haven't seen anything anymore, and I'm curious about what I see!
Back at Su's house, Su Ling drew a few pictures of poppies and handed them to the nightingale, who said that he would let people check them.
And the nightingale has already prepared a gift, and Su Ling wants to go and see Zhilan. I don't know how Zhilan is doing now.
Zhilan married a Xiucai named Zhou Yang and also lived in the capital, but her father died early, and Zhou Yang and her mother depended on each other since she was a child. I have always relied on my mother to do some embroidery work and sell it to make a living.
In the capital, there is very little income, and life is still very tight. Fortunately, Zhou Yang is also competitive, and he won the show at a young age, at least there is still hope. For scholars, being a scholar and an official is the only way out.
After reading books for many years, I generally have no other skills, so naturally I can only go one way. Of course, if you can be an official, you will naturally have a good future, but if you can't be an official, you really can't live well in the family, unless you have a lot of savings in the family.
After many years of studying, it still costs a lot of money.
Regarding the situation of the Zhou family, Su Ling also knew about it from his mother. Zhilan has been serving in the Su family for several years, and she has no credit and hard work, and her mother has always been good to Zhilan.
The next day, Su Ling also went to play with Zhou's house, as long as she talked to her mother in advance, it was more convenient for her to go out. It's just that there are always a lot of people when you go out, and it's not easy to go out alone. But now she doesn't have to go out all the time, if there is anything on the Ning Wang's Mansion, she will send it to the house where she lived before.
And Aunt Zhu will also send the news to Su Ling, if you want to send the news outside, there are also nightingales. There will always be someone to serve her, but not always someone to follow the nightingale.
What's more, the nightingale is still the maid of the Li family, and the people of the Su family are naturally more relaxed about her.
When he arrived at the door of Zhou's house, Su Ling looked at the house in front of him. A small house, the location is not good. Thinking about the situation of the Zhou family, I can also understand it. In fact, although the capital is a prosperous imperial capital, it is not all rich and noble, and there are many people who are not doing well.
In fact, there will be better people and worse people in any kind of place, which is normal! )
