Chapter 35: The Bet
Xie Mingsi laughed angrily, feeling that this little girl was a nursery found by Jufangzhai and deliberately came to make trouble, right?
"Didn't you see what happened here just now, little girl? This isn't an orchid at all, it's just a weed! ”
"Who said it was a weed? It's clearly an orchid! If you don't recognize it yourself, don't slander people Jufangzhai! Jiang Rong Zhenzhen said with words.
Seeing this, a smile flashed in Li Changyuan's eyes, and he stepped aside and gave up his position to her.
"You, you little girl, I don't quibble with you, you stand aside. This is a matter between our Xie family and Jufangzhai, you little child to join in the fun! ”
"Hmph, if you don't win, don't say it, it's clear that you're weak-hearted!" Jiang Rong raised his chin and looked at Xie Mingsi's eyes to be more contemptuous, playing the image of a delicate and arrogant little girl to the fullest.
"Am I weak? Hmph, since you said it's a real bluegrass, why haven't I seen it bloom for more than a month since I bought it?
"Now it is the flowering period of Chunlan, and the fertility and temperature provided by my home are not inappropriate, but it has not even grown a flower bone! It can be seen that it is not an orchid grass at all, it is just a weed that fools people! ”
"Heh, uncle, you're really funny! You also said that it is the flowering period of the orchid, but this flowering period has not passed, how can you expect it to not bloom? Even more so to deny that it is an orchid, but it is really ridiculous!
"If the lotus flower in the pond blooms a day or two late in the future, you have to say that it is not a lotus? How can there be such a truth in the world! ”
When everyone thought about it, it seemed to be such a reason! Flowers and plants, where is the flowering period so accurate? Not to mention that it opened a day or two late, it is not surprising that it is ten days and half a month!
This Xie family is clearly unreasonable! Did he come up with such a trick when he saw that he had no hope of winning the championship in the Flower Fighting Competition? They were still aggrieved for the Xie family just now!
This is clearly a good show they played by themselves!
This Xie family, alas, is really hopeless.
Everyone shook their heads.
Xie Mingsi was so angry that his eyes were red, this cheap girl is really hateful! Dare to run out and ruin his good deeds! He stared straight at Jiang Rong, and his eyes looked like he was about to eat people.
But before he could do anything, a figure shook over and blocked in front of Jiang Rong, it was Xiao Jue. And Li Changyuan also took a step forward, faintly protecting Jiang Rong, and looked at Xie Mingsi's eyes cold.
Being stared at by Xiao Jue and Li Changyuan, who looked at them with indifference to human life like ants, Xie Mingsi only felt that his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, and his body couldn't move.
When the two of them finally looked away, Xie Mingsi took a few steps back violently, and infinite horror rose in his heart, did their Xie family do something wrong this time? Did he provoke some great characters?
But things have come to this point, and there is no way back for him.
Xie Mingsi sank down, and the topic returned to the bluegrass on the ground.
"Little girl, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, won't my Xie family figure out whether it is late in flowering or not blooming at all? It's clearly a weed, so don't quibble here. ”
Jiang Rong smiled in his heart, what he was waiting for was your words!
"And what if I let it bloom?"
"That can't be!" Xie Mingsi categorically vetoed, and said very affirmatively.
How could he be so sure? Is there something that can prevent flowers from blooming? On the side, Li Changyuan looked at Xie Mingsi's eyes thoughtfully.
"Hehe, why is Uncle so sure? How about we make a bet? ”
"How to bet? What to bet on? ”
"Let's bet on this orchid, today I can not only make it bloom, but also take it to the flower fighting competition! If I can't, I lose! But if I do—"
Without waiting for Jiang Rong to say the latter words, Xie Mingsi sneered and said, "Then my Xie family will offer Baohua Garden with both hands!" ”
Baohua Garden! Everyone couldn't help but gasp, that was the foundation of the Xie family.
The area of that garden is not the largest among the many gardens of the Xie family, but it is definitely the most complete and precious varieties, and it is planted with all the rare flower varieties that the Xie family has cultivated and collected since its inception.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth a thousand gold, but I didn't expect Xie Mingsi to be willing to take out such a garden as a bet, is he sure that he will not lose at all?
"The value of my Xie family's Baohua Garden is not needless, I will say more, little girl, what can you come up with with something of the same value? Bet bet, this value has to be equal to be fair! Xie Mingsi looked at Jiang Rongdao with a smile on his face.
"I wonder if that's enough?" Jiang Rong didn't know when a huge night pearl appeared in his hand. The bead was the size of her fist, and even in this daytime, it exuded a bright and soft light, and it must have been even more radiant at night!
"Shhh Is this the Pearl of the Night? How could there be such a big one? ”
"Legend has it that there is a night pearl in the treasury of our Great Qi Dynasty that is the size of an egg, and it is already priceless. If this one is really the pearl of the night, how many cities is it worth? ”
"O peerless treasure! How could this little girl get such a treasure? ”
"It can't be stolen, right?"
"Steal? Where to steal from? Who could have such a rarity? Besides, even if there really is, then you have to be on guard, and you can still ask a little girl to steal it? ”
"Well, that's right. Then this baby is the little girl's own? ”
"Maybe it was her family who threw it to her to play with!"
"What kind of family does that little girl come from? Even such a night pearl can be played with by a child! Just now, I saw that she casually took out two hundred taels of silver tickets, and I could see that this little girl had an extraordinary background. ”
"Who's to say it isn't."
Rotten! She felt like she had done something wrong.
Hearing everyone's exclamatory discussions, Jiang Rong realized that the matter was big. She really didn't expect a night pearl to trigger a frenzy.
It's all empiricism! I used to read those novels and TV or something, and I used to watch night pearls the size of children's fists at every turn, and there were several night pearls the size of pigeon eggs inlaid on the inner wall of the treasure house...... It turns out that it's all a lie!
And in her selfish heart, she didn't think that such a night pearl was so precious and rare, after all, in her space Xianyuan Mansion, 2 points of merit could be exchanged for huàn.
And now, isn't she going to take out a night pearl the size of a child's fist? As for all the fuss!
Jiang Rong couldn't help but look at his mother, afraid of seeing the blame and suspicion of himself in her eyes, but found that although she was also shocked, her eyes were still moist and soft, and she didn't have the slightest sense of blame.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
And Xiao Jue and Li Changyuan are even more ordinary. Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, such a big night pearl is a rare treasure, but if they want to, they are afraid that they will not be able to get their hands on it?
Seeing the beads in Jiang Rong's hand, Xie Mingsi's eyes lit up, and the light could be matched with the night pearl.
"That's what you're betting on?" He stared at the beads in Jiang Rong's hand, for fear that she would take it back.
Jiang Rong nodded, and Xie Mingsi immediately laughed and said, "Okay, then it's a word!" ”
"But for the sake of fairness, we have to hire a Chinese person to vouch for it."
But who should be the middle man? That person must be highly respected, and he must not help each other, is there such a person in Qingxia Town?
"Haha, if the two of you don't dislike it, then how about the old man make this guarantee?" An old man in a green cloth coat walked out of the crowd.
"Elder Zheng!" Someone exclaimed.
"Is it the old Zheng who 'moves Kyoto with one word, is the supreme Jiuqing, the holy hand of famous flowers and poems, and the marquis of the pastoral field'?"
"Apart from him, which other Zheng Lao is there?"
"I'm a mother! I was lucky enough to see Mr. Zheng, and when I returned to our village, I had to envy those old men and old ladies to death! ”
"Quick, let's take a look, there won't be this shop in this village anymore!"
"Isn't it? can actually attract Zheng Lao to come to the Chinese to vouch, this bet can be famous! ”
"Presumably tomorrow, this matter will have to spread. But how can the rumors be as real and exciting as what they saw on the spot? This time the Flower God Festival is really not in vain! ”
"Indeed, a Baohua Garden, a night pearl, will be famous all over the world from now on!"
When Li Changyuan saw Zheng Lao coming out, his eyes flashed almost inexplicably, and when Zheng Lao came closer, he bowed his head lightly to him and called "Zheng Lao".
Zheng Lao touched his beard and smiled, and said, "Yuan boy, you little Jufangzhai, today is really a 'gathering of flowers'!" Haha......"
Li Changyuan just smiled, "Old Zheng, didn't you talk about yourself?" ”
"That's right, my old man is also here to have a good time." Old Zheng didn't mind the ridicule in Li Changyuan's words at all, but said quite complacently.
Turning to Jiang Rong, Zheng Lao's eyes were quite gentle and said: "Little girl, come, old man, I will give you this guarantee, and hand over your night pearl to the old man for safekeeping." ”
Jiang Rong had a good impression of this kind and free old man, smiled sweetly at her, and gave out the beads in his hand.
"Little girl, aren't you afraid that the old man will give you your baby?" Zheng Lao rubbed the beads in his hand and teased Jiang Rongdao.
Jiang Rong blinked, is it really good for you to tease me like this little girl?
She pretended to be puzzled and said: "They all say that you are the old Zheng who 'moves Kyoto with one word, is the supreme Jiuqing, the holy hand of famous flowers and poems, and the marquis of the pastoral land', that is a famous big man in the world, will you still ignore one of my beads?" ”
