Chapter 284: Flower Planter (2-in-1)
The other village of Wanping County is on the outskirts of the city, and there are several such magnificent Zhuangzi in that area, all of which are rich families with status, status and status in Wanping County. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Not far away, the fertile fields are one after another. The road out of the main gate has been going forward, not far to see a fork in the road, next to a long old corridor, five or six zhang long, just like the corridor in the back garden of the rich family, can block the wind and rain and avoid the sun, there are many people in it at this time, they took a variety of different goods and put a long line, and the guests who came and went selected the goods they needed.
These vendors are different from those in the city, they sell either chickens or ducks, or rabbits, and some birds or wild animals, all of which are birds and animals.
In addition, there are cattle sellers, pig sellers, and other poultry.
Finally, there are a few stalls selling trees and flowers.
Yu Nianniang stopped driving the horse, she didn't dare to be interested in poultry eating, and directly urged the horse to walk towards the flower seller.
It's a small place, but it's a great place to sell. Yu Nianniang didn't see the flowers in the flower market in the capital last time.
For example, the Seven Treasure Tree, also known as the fairy pen, has its leaves like a violin, which is very peculiar and interesting.
There is also blue-eyed chrysanthemum, also known as African daisy, which is a semi-hardy plant. There is also Hongyanhui, which is a stone lotus flower with fluffy hairs on the surface, which belongs to succulents. The plant is rosette-shaped and turns red in autumn, with a bright red at the tip of the leaf margin.
Finally, Yu Nianniang also saw oleander, which is a plant that is propagated by pressing strips and is very easy to survive, and many people like to buy it back as a bonsai. But its flowers, leaves, bark, roots, and seeds all contain a variety of glycans, which are extremely toxic.
The flower seller was a middle-aged man, Yu Nianniang got off the horse, tied the horse to the stump, and she walked over. Wucai, Wuyi and Eleven followed and walked over.
When I got closer, I found that the flowers sold by the middle-aged man were very well raised, oleander had some buds, and two buds had already opened. The pink corolla has a faint fragrance, and the open flowers are funnel-like, and the petals are also overlapping each other, and there are red, yellow, and white.
It can be seen that this flower raiser is an experienced veteran.
"How do you sell this flower?" Yu Nianniang pointed to oleander and asked.
The middle-aged man glanced at Yu Nianniang and said, "Ten taels of silver." ”
"What? Ten taels? The back of the colorful said in surprise.
That's up to the price in the flower house.
The man who sold the flowers glanced at Wucai disdainfully, and said proudly: "You go and compare the quality of my flowers, ten taels of silver is already very cheap." ”
"No matter how good it is, it won't cost ten taels of silver!" Wucai glared: "This is not a rare breed. ”
"Are there any other flowers?" Yu Nianniang looked at the flowers in front of the man and asked.
The man selling flowers didn't look at Yu Nianniang, and said, "No." He looked around, and then his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Sell flowers." ”
A woman dressed in luxury came over with two rings, and the man who sold the flowers immediately smiled and said, "Why did Mrs. come out in person today, what flowers do you want to buy?" ”
The lady swept the flowers on the ground, and finally pointed to the oleanders and asked, "How much silver?" ”
"Twenty taels." The flower seller immediately smiled.
"What, twenty taels?" Wucai said in surprise.
The lady glanced at the fuss of the colorful colors, and then looked at Yu Nianniang, who was calm and relaxed, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and an extraordinary temperament between the pitchers and feet, so she said lightly: "The twenty taels of silver raised by Lao Wu are not expensive at all." ”
"Why?" Yu Nianniang looked at her and asked.
"Lao Wu's craft of raising flowers is well-known here, and he not only sells flowers, but also teaches people to grow flowers by the way." Then he nodded to the maid beside him, and said to the man selling flowers, "Wrap it for me." ”
The flower seller hurriedly wrapped the flower pot with oiled paper, handed the flower pot to one of the maid rings, took the silver, and smiled at the back of the noble lady: "Mrs. go slowly, come again next time." Turning around, he immediately glanced at Yu Nianniang and the others expressionlessly, snorted coldly, and began to close the stall.
Someone next to him said enviously: "Lao Wu can close the stall again, look at how many people can sell flowers, and one pot will earn twenty taels of silver." ”
"And oleanders?" Yu Nianniang looked at Lao Wu.
"It's gone." Lao Wu didn't lift his head, moved all the flowers on the ground to the car board behind, and saw that Yu Nianniang and the others were still standing in front of his stall, he waved his hand impatiently: "Let's go, let's go, it's gone." ”
Then, without waiting for Yu Nianniang to speak, she walked past a few people towards the place where the horses were tied outside the corridor. At this time, Yu Nianniang smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, the fragrance was familiar, very faint, so faint that she thought she had smelled it wrong.
Lao Wu led the horse to the cart, put on a rope, sat on the front of the cart, and drove the horse out of the corridor.
Yu Nianniang beckoned to Wuyi on the side and whispered a few words. Wu Yi immediately followed out of the corridor.
Eleven on the side saw the problem, walked to a nearby stall and talked to the seller, and after a while he inquired.
"Everyone only knows that his name is Lao Wu, he has been selling flowers here for many years, he is not from Wanping County, he moved here more than ten years ago, he raised flowers very well, and all the flowers he sold were very good to feed. It looks like a flower seller, but it's not like it. As long as he sells one or twenty taels of silver each time, enough for a few days' life, no matter how early or late, if there is still no one to buy, he immediately closes the stall and goes home. I joke with everyone on weekdays, but I never talk about family matters. ”
Yu Nianniang found a place to sit down and asked Wucai to choose two pots of flowers from other stalls. When Wuyi returned, the four of them rode their horses and began to walk back.
The delay in Wuyi's coming and going was not long in time, which proved that Lao Wu lived not far away.
“…… The civilian area to the left of the city gate is a standard courtyard house, which is lived by one person, and many flowers are planted in the yard, and a greenhouse is also built. ”
"Greenhouse greenhouse?" Yu Nianniang frowned.
An ordinary person has never sold a large number of flowers, but he has built a greenhouse for planting flowers in the yard!
"Yes." Wuyi Road.
"Is there a flower in there, it's white in color, and the corolla is funnel-shaped. Hanging from the branches. Yu Nianniang asked.
"Yes." Wu Yi thought for a moment and said, "However, the upper part is white, and the lower part of the flower tube is pale yellow-green. ”
"Yes, that's it." Yu Nianniang's eyes lit up, she didn't expect that she was just asking casually, but there really was. I didn't expect that I was just going out for a walk, and I really found out.
When the four of them returned to Beizhuang, Yu Nianniang immediately drew the mandala flower with a pen, and Wu Yi saw that it was indeed the flower he saw at Lao Wu's house.
Yu Nianniang asked Eleven to report the matter back to Chi Langyi, and Chi Langyi came over after a while.
“…… In this way, it is necessary to check the old man carefully, and also to see how many mandalas he has planted...... "Ordinary people will not plant mandala in large quantities. If the old Wu family really has a large number of mandala flowers, there must be someone behind him.
Yu Nianniang told Chi Langyi about Woman Liu's man going to the border to buy flowers, and at that time, Wei Qiyu sent someone to check for a long time but did not find the person who really sold flowers and leaves Wan Nianqing: "So, I want to know if this old Wu family has flowers and leaves Wan Nian Qing in addition to Mandala." If he even has flowers and leaves, isn't it too coincidental? ”
Chi Langyi looked at Yu Nianniang and frowned: "Why didn't I know that you let people go to the border?" ”
Yu Nianniang was stunned.
Before she could answer, Chi Langyi had already said: "If there is such a thing in the future, you can tell me directly, and I will ask someone to check it for you, hurry up." Then he got up: "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, I'll let people check this matter as soon as possible, you don't care about it anymore." ”
When Chi Langyi left, Yu Nianniang found that Wuyi was still in the house.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Wu Yi was also a little embarrassed, originally he wanted to stay and see if there was anything he needed help with, but he didn't expect to hear Yu Nianniang and Ning An Hou Shizi say another thing, which seemed to be quite serious. It shouldn't be easy to look at the mysterious appearance of the two, so he was embarrassed to ask. Looking back and thinking about it, when did Miss Yu become so familiar with Ning An Hou Shizi?
However, he is an honest man, and if he accidentally listens to other people's secrets, of course he must keep his mouth shut: "Miss Yu, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, I will definitely rot what you just said to Ning An Hou Shizi in my stomach." ”
"Nope." Yu Nianniang said.
"Huh?" Wu Yi didn't know why.
"I want to ask Master Wu to rot the matter of Ning An waiting for the prince to come here in his stomach." Yu Nianniang said.
Wu Yi reacted, and immediately patted his chest and assured her: "Although I Wuyi has no ability, I am good at what I say, and as long as I promise something, I will definitely do it." ”
"Okay." Yu Nianniang believes in Wuyi's character very much.
"But ......" Wu Yi scratched his hair and said embarrassedly: "Miss Yu, can you not call me Master Wu, it's nothing for others to call me that, it's awkward for you to call me that." ”
Yu Nianniang looked at him.
"Look at how powerful you are, I'm just a little guard, you call me that......"
"Okay." Yu Nianniang said: "I'm still calling you Master Wu outside, so I'll call you Brother Wu on weekdays." ”
In terms of age, Wuyi is older than Yu Nianniang.
It is an honor to have such a powerful person as Yu Nianniang as a sister Wuyi. However, "You are an earth master, maybe you will enter the Heavenly Dao Academy in the future." ”
"So what?" Yu Nianniang said: "We are good friends, of course, we have to judge our age." ”
Seeing that Yu Nianniang was serious, Wu Yi didn't twist anymore, and directly called Yu Nianniang: "Sister." ”
With such a beautiful and powerful sister, Wu Yi was very happy, he never thought that one day he would be able to match Yu Nianniang as a brother and sister, and immediately touched his body, but he didn't find a wishful gift for Yu Nianniang, and immediately decided to go out to buy a gift for Yu Nianniang, and turned around and walked out of the yard.
As soon as Wuyi went out for a while, Gonggong Huang came.
Wucai hurriedly invited Huang Gonggong to sit, and after making tea, he stood respectfully beside Yu Nianniang.
Gonggong Huang smiled: "The girl's complexion is much better, I heard that she went out for a walk just now?" ”
"Yes, after a while of riding, I got a little tired, so I came back." Yu Nianniang said.
"What a coincidence that the girl came back." Huang Gonggong said: "The emperor asked our family to invite the girl to come over." ”
Yu Nianniang was not too surprised, and got up: "Please let my father-in-law let me change my clothes." Then he entered the inner room, Wucai walked to Huang Gonggong's side and stored tea for him in English, then took out a purse and stuffed it into Huang Gonggong's hand, and said: "This is the girl's heart, please father-in-law must accept it." Then he pressed the money into Huang's father-in-law's hand.
Huang Gonggong groaned, finally picked up the money, and said with a smile: "The Lu family has thanked the girl." ”
"My father-in-law is polite." Wucai said, taking the opportunity to ask: "I don't know what the emperor invited our family to do?" ”
Huang Gonggong smiled and groaned: "Don't worry, the emperor trusts Yu Dishi very much now." ”
Wucai put her mind at ease, Yu Nianniang changed into a green dress and walked out, and followed Huang Gonggong to the main courtyard.
The main courtyard is fragrant with flowers and birds, and the scenery is charming.
The emperor and the emperor were sitting in the flower hall drinking tea, along with Mrs. Ning Anhou.
Yu Nianniang saluted first, and the emperor immediately said: "Give Yu Dishi a seat." ”
A subordinate brought a stool and placed it opposite Mrs. Ning Anhou, and Yu Nianniang bowed and sat down.
"It turns out that this is Master Yudi, a young girl."
The voice is gentle and soft, it is the voice of the queen's mother.
"I don't know how beautiful Miss Yu is this year?"
Yu Nianniang heard the kind words of the queen mother, she raised her head, the emperor looked upright, and his long and narrow eyes were very similar to Chi Langyi, but there was not much resemblance to Mrs. Ning Anhou on the side.
The Empress is in her early Chinese New Year's Eve, her skin is well maintained, and she looks similar to a woman in her twenties, wearing a bright red palace dress, dignified and graceful.
"Back to the queen's mother, the people's daughter is sixteen this year." Yu Nianniang said.
"What a little girl." The queen mother was surprised and said, "It's really amazing!" ”
"Niang Niang Miao praised." Yu Nianniang bowed her head.
"It's quite unexpected." The emperor's words are the meaning of the queen mother. The emperor was too hot and stuffy because of the fatigue of the boat, some signs of heat stroke, and the cool breeze on the night of the rain, and he had a headache for the past few days. But some of them are not far from Lintan County.
The emperor couldn't make up his mind, so he invited Yu Nianniang over.
“…… You see when is the best time to start. ”
Yu Nianniang closed her eyes and pinched her fingers to calculate, and then said: "Back to the emperor, the weather will slowly get hotter again from today, and it will only get hotter in the future. ”
"Yes, I see." The Emperor waved his hand a little depressedly.
Yu Nianniang withdrew.
"What does the emperor mean?" The empress looked at the emperor.
"Then let's start tomorrow, the road is slower, I can still stand it." The Emperor said.
"Then it's up to the emperor." The queen mother said obediently, and then praised Yu Nianniang: "Sure enough, she is a girl with solid eyes." Be frank and outspoken. His tone changed, and he sarcastically came to the Heavenly Dao Academy: "...... If it is replaced by the Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Dao Academy, I am afraid that he will only say some words of recommendation. ”
The emperor looked at the empress and was a little surprised: "Didn't the empress not believe in occult magic before?" ”
The queen smiled: "The emperor said that he laughed, the concubines didn't believe it before because they thought they were playing tricks and couldn't be trusted." Now, of course, if the concubine thinks it is credible, she can believe it. ”
The emperor suddenly felt the same way, except for a big deed ten years ago, the Heavenly Dao Academy had almost nothing to do in the past ten years. Until Yu Nianniang's appearance, he discovered that there were so many mysteries in the original mystery. The group of Heavenly Masters of the Heavenly Dao Academy were very loud on weekdays, and when there was really something, they would only perfunctory him with some big truths. Yu Nianniang's Dao technique is probably only comparable to that of the Great Heavenly Master!
