Chapter 234: Waiting
The carriage stopped and resumed its journey, and after walking for about an hour, it stopped at the side of the North Bridge Street. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zhou Qin looked along the Jinshui River, and sure enough, he saw a large flower garden next to it.
The flower garden is planted with black locust and thorns to form a wall, and even the entrance is entangled by dwarf thorn bushes, and a big stone is written on the top, and the big five words "five-money flower garden" are written on the official letter.
Zhou Qin recognized it at a glance, this was the place where he pulled his brother Zhou Yanzhi to wait for the princess of Wei on the first night of the year. At that time, I met two inexplicable big men here, and I also met an old farmer in a flower garden, but the princess of Wei who was supposed to pass by disappeared.
Just as he was recalling, the guards had already placed the mats under the carriage, and Zhou Qin got out of the carriage and entered towards the garden gate.
After a year, compared with the original, the layout of this "five-money flower garden" can be said to be earth-shaking.
I remember that there was originally only one tiled house in the middle, but now it has become a five-entry house, as well as a rockery pool, tall trees and low trees.
Not only her, but Zhou Yanzhi also recognized it, maybe because it had changed too much, he asked his sister with some uncertainty: "Did we come to this place last year?" ”
Zhou Qin nodded.
Tian Chu said: "There is no powerful gate garden in my house, and the laurel tree is here, so I will put it here first." ”
While a few people were talking, there were already a few little girls, all of whom were seven or eight years old, looking very smart, and after saluting, they led the guests inside.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Zhou Qin feels that this flower garden is more than twice as big as when he last saw him, and the flowers and plants planted are more scaled.
When they went around the house, they saw more than a dozen laurel trees more than a foot high and a foot in diameter neatly laid out on the ground, the roots of which were wrapped into a ball with a net, which had not yet been disassembled, and most of the branches and leaves had been cut off, leaving only the bare trunk.
Zhou Qin let out an "ah", looked at Tian Chu in surprise and joy, and asked, "Brother Tian, how did such a big laurel tree be transported?" ”
Guizhou and the capital are thousands of miles apart, she thought that what Tian Chu said about helping the Guishu to come over was referring to the saplings, but she didn't expect them to be so big. Ordinary people plant new trees, in fact, small trees are easier to survive, but Zhou Qin has many years of experience in taking care of flowers and plants, and he can live big trees, and he prefers big trees.
Tian Chu said with a smile: "There are not only big trees, but also small trees, you just have to pick according to what you like." As he spoke, he pointed to the corner, and sure enough, there were many palm-sized saplings in the corner.
Zhou Qin approached and saw that there were many strips on the laurel tree, including "Big Flower Golden Cinnamon", "Golden Master Cinnamon", "Qingshan Silver Cinnamon", "Cinnabar Dangui" and so on, all of which are very rare varieties.
She couldn't help but hesitate a little, pursed her lips and asked, "Remember last time, Brother Tian said that this laurel tree was hitchhiked into Beijing by a close relative?" I don't know if he has picked it, should you ask him to choose first? ”
Tian Chu knew that this was Zhou Qin's own sake, and his heart warmed, but he said with a smile: "You pick first, it was brought in by my people, you just have to take my affection." ”
His voice was soft and warm, as if he was coaxing people, and Zhou Qin's face turned red when he heard it, and he answered in a low voice, picking up the laurel tree on the spot. Zhou Yanzhi also squatted on the ground to help his sister choose, he has never studied flowers and plants, he saw it at this time, and only gave advice from the appearance, one would say that this one looked spiritual, and one would say that that one looked taller, this is okay, and he asked his sister to pick it according to her own way.
Zhou Qin glanced at him and said, "Brother, don't make trouble, go shopping with Brother Tian!" ”
Zhou Yanzhi made a gesture of surrender, stood up slowly, and sure enough, the two of them were talking to Tian Chu on the side.
Not long after, a small guy came in outside, hurriedly rushed to Tian Chu, and whispered something. Tian Chu's face changed, and he said to Zhou Qin: "I'm in a hurry, I don't accompany you, you pick slowly." He nodded to Zhou Yanzhi again, turned around and hurried with the little guy.
Without Tian Chu, Zhou Yanzhi was bored again, and when he was about to talk to his sister, Zhou Qin was busy studying the laurel tree, and he really didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he pointed to the Jinshui River in the distance: "Brother have you seen the flowers and trees over there?" In the past, I helped pick out some beautiful ones, and in the evening we went back to give my grandmother a few pots, and then bought some flowers, and went back to insert the bottles. ”
The outside was surrounded by the guards of the Cheng'en Mansion and the Huguo Mansion, and there were begonias, herbs and many maidservants in this courtyard.
Seeing Zhou Yanzhi leaving, Fangcao couldn't help but smile and said, "It's also a shame that the young master has the patience to accompany the girl out to pick trees." ”
This is really not something that Zhou Yanzhi is interested in.
A few people talked and laughed, time passed very quickly, Zhou Qin picked it almost right, helped Haitang to stand up slowly, and was about to ask someone to go to his brother, when he suddenly saw Tian Chu outside walking over with an ugly face.
Zhou Qin couldn't help but snort in his heart.
Tian Chu has always been very happy and angry, what happened to him, so he couldn't hide it?
She grabbed Begonia's arm, a little apprehensive in her heart, not knowing whether to ask or not.
Before she could think clearly, Tian Chu had already adjusted his face, and said to her with a smile: "How did you choose?" He added, "This time, I also brought two old men who have raised laurel trees for decades, and you can bring them back when the time comes." ”
Zhou Qin was embarrassed to ask for it, and hurriedly said: "It's too troublesome, it's better to give it to the eldest brother's close relative." ”
Tian Chu smiled slightly and said, "I've always sent things like this, so don't shirk it." ”
Zhou Qin was stunned for a moment, thinking that Tian Chu sent him osmanthus cake that day, and later sent the pastry chef over, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
She thanked her with a red face, and said, "I've picked it out, and I can leave when my brother comes back." ”
Tian Chu looked up at the weather and said, "The sun is a little big, let's go to the room and sit and wait for Yanzhi." ”
As he spoke, he led Zhou Qin to the house on the side.
The two of them entered the house with a few subordinates, only to see that there were only a few simple bamboo chairs, a round table, and high shelves were set up in the rest of the open space, with all kinds of flowers and plants.
Tian Chu first asked Zhou Qin to serve tea, and when he saw her interested, he asked, "Do you want to take a look?" It's all potted plants and gadgets, and it's fun to put them in the room. ”
Zhou Qin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded.
Tian Chu couldn't help laughing and said, "How big a thing is it that deserves you to be so happy?" ”
Then he stood up and shouted outside, "Someone! ”
After a while, a middle-aged man came in, who looked elegant and looked very kind. He first saluted with Tian Chu and Zhou Qin, and then asked, "What does the prince have to order?" ”
