Chapter 19: Rubbing shoulders

Zhou Qin's heart was slightly cold, she glanced at it, and saw that the horses were all men, and they were wearing ordinary clothes that were not eye-catching, but they could ride this valuable horse, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info It's just that this capital is huge, and there are many powerful people doing some small things, and she is now waiting for the princess of Wei, so she has to concentrate on waiting for the carriage, and she still pays little attention to idle things.

The old man also saw these horses, his eyes shook slightly, and he said to the two big men: "Go, give the two baskets of flowers in the room to Mrs. Liao in Fengle Bridge." He turned his head again and smiled and pointed to the vat not far away and said to Zhou Qin, "Girl, look here, I have Xinpei's Bilian and Huanglian here." ”

Although this matter is full of suspicions, and these people are obviously all lies, they can't do anything about them.

The people watched as the two men went to the manger to lead the horses, and then went to the house to carry two baskets of flowers, and went away from the horses.

Zhou Qin stepped forward and looked into the big vat, only to see a few water lilies standing upright in the vat, the lotus leaves floating on the water surface were verdant and lovely, and a few tea cup big lotus flowers were hidden between the lotus leaves, there were yellow and blue, yellow was light, blue was light green, and it was elegant and abnormal.

The water lily should have bloomed in the summer, or light pink, or white, and now it is only ten months in spring, not the lotus blooming season, and it can give birth to such rare colors of flowers at this time, which is rare for the old man's skills.

At that time, people loved flowers, and many people made a living by grafting flowers and trees, and were hired to go home by the major luxury mansions. Zhou Qin has seen a lot of highly skilled gate gardens in his two lives, and he has a lot of knowledge about this by chance, so he smiled and said: "Your yellow lotus is soaked in gardenia water, right?" ”

The old man was very stunned, "It turns out that the girl is an expert, how do you know my method?" ”

"I don't know how you made this lotus bloom early, but this color cultivation method is an ancient recipe, right? Wen Ge has "Trivial Records", "In recent years, the lotus is in the indigo urn, the plant is green, and the gardenia is yellow", but the color can be raised so positively, it is really a good craft. She said and stretched out her hand to touch the big vat, at this time the spring was cold, and it was the early morning, and it was the time when the night dew was deep, but the porcelain jar was warm to the touch, and I couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing her expression, the old man showed a smug smile, "My method of summer flowers blooming in spring is still unique in the capital." "After finishing speaking, his face turned gloomy again, "I have been studying it for several years, and I thought that this color-changing recipe was a secret that was not passed on, but who knew that there were ancients who walked in front of me." ”

A look of fascination with flowers and trees.

Zhou Qin looked at the hour, and before he knew it, he had already passed the ugly time, but the strange thing was that not to mention the runaway carriage, for such a long time, there were not even a few pedestrians on the road, and the princess of Wei didn't even see a shadow.

Calculating the time, the carriage and horses of the princess of Wei are about to be found in the suburbs, and it is speculated that she should have passed by here a long time ago, why can't she see any trace of it.

Seeing that the hour was too late, and it would be fruitless to wait any longer, Zhou Qin picked some flowers at random, let Gui Zhi settle the account and get into the carriage and go home.

There was no clue halfway, so I had to wait for news from the coming day.

Because it was the night of the Lantern Festival, except for a few people on duty, Mrs. Zhao gave the people in the house a holiday, thinking that when she returned home, the lights would be sparse.

Zhou Qin was startled, glanced at Zhou Yanzhi, and hurriedly saluted.

Old Madam Zhao said angrily to Zhou Yanzhi: "Let you take your sister to play, why did you go for so long." ”

Zhou Yanzhi made a fist with his hand, covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

Zhou Qin understood, hurriedly stepped forward and sat next to Mrs. Zhao, and said softly: "Grandmother, it's me who is greedy for flowers, and it's too late to come back, and it's none of my brother's business." As he spoke, he stuck it on Mrs. Zhao again, "I didn't hear Liu Sanniang's guqin tonight, grandmother, let's invite her to her house next time." ”

Old Madam Zhao was still angry, and even said: "Okay, listen to you, go to sleep, and come back in the afternoon." He shouted to Zhou Yanzhi again, "Your sister is young and ignorant, you should also let her come, and you will not be allowed to do this next time." ”

For a moment everyone dispersed.

This night was time-consuming but fruitless, Zhou Qin felt that he would definitely not be able to sleep, who knew that he would fall asleep before he had time to sort out what the problem was tonight when he dipped his pillow.

But these days have consumed too much brain, and I have been worrying about my heart, and now that the days of the catastrophe have passed, my whole body is fine, although I have not figured out the truth of the matter, but I have also survived it safely, so as soon as I relaxed, I fell asleep.

The next day I woke up past noon.

Zhou Qin took the vase and went to greet his grandmother.

"Where did you get the plum flowers?" Old Madam Zhao was very surprised, "I smell the fragrance of plums." ”

She happily asked people to place the bottle in the middle of the table of the Eight Immortals.

As he was talking, Zhou Yanzhi also came in, and quipped: "Why don't you have my share?" ”

The three of them chatted for a while, and someone came in to set the meal.

Zhou Qin and Zhou Yanzhi had no breakfast, they ate a lot of lunch, and after the meal was over, the two of them gossiped around Mrs. Zhao.

"That's right." Old Madam Zhao suddenly said to the coral standing aside, "Take Yanzhi's big coat." ”

"What's the big one?" Zhou Yanzhi was stunned for a moment.

Coral smiled: "The night before yesterday, the young master was drunk and came back wearing a big coat, we sent it to Songzhu Courtyard, and Mama Meng said that this is not your clothes." With that, he took Dayu out.

Zhou Qin stepped forward curiously, only to see that the big hair was neatly colored, and it was soft to the hand, and he didn't know what kind of wool it was, so he only embroidered a circle of locks with fine stitches on the edge.

"This is mink?" Zhou Qin touched it, a little unsure.

"It's like a wild duck." Coral pick-up.

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she smiled and said: "This is a black rabbit fur, and now there are very few black rabbits, where did you get it?" ”

Zhou Yanzhi sat aside and thought for a while, his face was a little strange, and he said vaguely: "Send it back to my yard, I put other people's clothes back, and return them to him another day." ”

After such a distraction, several people talked about clothes again.

"Although it's spring, the Northland is still very ...... freezing" Zhou Qin was a little worried, "Why don't we send some winter clothes to the second uncle." ”

Old Madam Zhao also sighed, "I haven't been back for several years, and I don't know what the size is, whether the clothes sent to me fit or not, and there is no one around to take care of them." ”

Zhou Yan's original partner Gu is the daughter of Mrs. Zhao's old friend, after marrying into the Huguo Mansion, she was in harmony with Zhou Yan Qinse, but she has never had an heir, she was anxious, and went around to seek medical advice, and later took the medicine prescribed by the doctor recommended by her sister-in-law. The Gu family felt that this was their family's responsibility, so they proposed to marry the young daughter of the family to Zhou Yan Xuxian, and Mrs. Zhao was about to ask Zhou Yan what he meant, but the little girl was infected with the epidemic.
