Chapter Ninety-Eight: First Arrival at the Qin Family (Monthly Pass 90+)
The Qin family is located in Yongning Lane in the east of the city, and tall pond cedars are also planted in the alley. Pei Yan asked Qin Lang to find out that this was also planted by Old Lady Qin back then. It's just that because of neglect of care, or being artificially destroyed.
It doesn't look as neat as the spacing between the trees on both sides of the Qin family's Jinzhuang Avenue.
Even so, in this area of the East Side, it is still quite a landmark.
And the Qin family is worthy of being a family that started with flowers and trees.
When I entered the courtyard gate, my eyes were full of greenery, and there were flowers and plants all over the place.
At this time, the crape myrtle, which is in bloom, is in full swing. The crape myrtle tree grew like a big tree, with a trunk five or six feet high, about the thickness of an adult's palm. Most of them are evenly distributed with seven or eight large branches, and above those branches, the flowers are clustered like clouds, and they are even more brilliant than the peach blossoms in March.
Pei Yan didn't treat crape myrtle flowers very well in the past, and always felt that it was too ordinary. Moreover, when it first blooms, there are flowers below and buds above, which does not appear plump; And when the flowers on the top bloom, the seeds begin to bear on the bottom, and they are still not plump.
For her, this thing, the flower arrangement is not good-looking, and the plant shape is just like that, and it is common on both sides of the green flower road, and the flower color is also very ordinary. It's kind of an over-the-top thing.
But when I saw it in the Qin family today, it was a different feeling.
She had really never seen such a big crape myrtle tree, let alone such a large row of the Qin family. In the middle of summer, when even the moon season known as diligent flowers is wilting, it is really eye-catching to see such a large area of splendid crape myrtle.
Yao's mother saw that she was stunned, so she smiled and said, "This is also planted by my old lady, and it has been nearly twenty years. ”
No wonder. Pei Yan smiled admiringly, withdrew her gaze from the flowers, and followed Mother Yao to Old Lady Qin's courtyard.
A few days ago, Qin Lang came back and suddenly said that he had found a reliable and knowledgeable gate garden outside, and made trouble with the old lady and the old man, and immediately asked someone to hire him. Everyone in the Qin family didn't care about it earlier. Only if he did it on a whim.
Unexpectedly, he saw the old lady Qin grinding the sky, how magical the skills of that garden, how to use medicine to kill insects, and how to serve Changchun Xiaochun. How well it sells, how wonderful the big watermelon is grafted, etc., is a little exaggerated on the basis of facts, please tell Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin every day.
He also pulled Zhu Shopkeeper and Zhang Zhuangtou as witnesses, and took the Song family's shop as an example.
Old Lady Qin was so worn out by him. Only then did someone call Zhang Zhuangtou to ask what was going on. I thought that this was my grandson or asked someone to cheat him, or I was so anxious to go to the doctor that I couldn't do it, so I grabbed one who knew a little bit and regarded it as a treasure.
Unexpectedly, when I asked Zhang Zhuangtou, I realized that this thing turned out to be true.
So Master Qin went again, and he was quite familiar with him in his early years, and since the failure of his own flower garden business, the shopkeeper Zhu, who has been getting worse and worse over the years, asked what happened.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper Zhu was more exaggerated than that Zhang Dong, and praised the person his son was looking for. Full of praise.
Old Master Qin came back and said that he and Old Lady Qin knew, and both of them were a little tempted. It was at this moment that I learned that Qin Lang concealed one of the most important pieces of information - the old garden that everyone praised was actually not old at all. Not only is she not old, but she is still a girl who is not yet thirteen years old.
And she was a little girl who didn't understand anything before, and she didn't know a lot of words.
This made the hearts of Old Master Qin and Old Lady Qin, who were already tempted, disperse immediately.
When he couldn't say it, Qin Lang didn't follow it, and kept pestering the two of them.
Mrs. Qin was so worn out by him that she couldn't do anything, so she asked Yao's mother to follow him. Invite someone back, and she will see it in person to see if this person has real skills.
Qin Lang and Yao's mother went out on the front foot, and the news spread throughout the Qin Mansion on the back foot.
The four girls of the Qin Mansion. He stayed in the courtyard of the old lady Qin all the time, waiting to see what kind of character this "old garden" who was not old at all.
So, as soon as Pei Yan stepped into the courtyard gate, she felt countless eyes fall on her.
Looking up curiously, I saw behind the bamboo curtain in the side hall of the main room. Three or four girlish faces were revealed. Although it was roughly swept, the demeanor of several people was also well understood.
There is pure surprise, but also disdainful contempt, and even gritted resentment.
She can understand the surprise and disdain, but what is this resentment? She's here to work for you and help you earn money. Do you think that life is too comfortable, and you can't burn your hands with too much money?
With a little indignation, Pei Yan followed Yao's mother into the main room.
The sun was scorching outside, but the room was cool and comfortable, which made Pei Yan's spirit unconsciously lifted. I sighed in my heart, it's good to be rich. There must be a legendary ice basin in this room, right?
Just thinking about it, Mother Yao had already smiled and said to Old Lady Qin, "Old lady, this is the girl of the Pei family." ”
Pei Yan came back to her senses, took a step forward, and bent down towards the main seat.
Maybe she didn't do it properly, or it was too light. Before she could retract her slightly bent legs, she heard a few disdainful snorts.
Pei Yanke is not happy, you invited me here, and I didn't ask for it. But those who understand this will not be unabashedly ridiculed because they don't understand the etiquette of their high-ranking families.
So, she also did something that she didn't plan to do.
When he stood up straight, he straightened his face and looked fixedly at the place where the sneer was emanating.
A few girls who were snickering suddenly saw her strained face and looked at her in a daze. They were all stunned, because they were too surprised, and the smile on their faces didn't even have time to take it back, so they froze on their faces.
When Old Lady Qin saw it, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice, "Sister Qi, don't be rude." This is the newly hired gardener. ”
The girl who was named was the one who gritted her teeth and was indignant, and laughed the most, she was born with sharp eyebrows and eyes, and she was not like Qin Lang at all, it should be from Yang Wei's two aunts.
As for which aunt gave birth to it, Pei Yan didn't care at all.
After Mrs. Qin's words, she immediately turned her head, changed her smile, and saluted again, "I've seen the old lady." ”
Old Lady Qin also instantly changed to a kind smile, pointed to the seat on the lower right, and smiled gently, "It's all my old woman." Because of curiosity, I invited you from home on a hot day. ”
Pei Yan thanked him and sat down, and said with a smile, "The old lady is polite." Such a major matter related to whether the garden can be sustained, naturally cannot be finalized with a few words from the third young master of your mansion. ”
Old Madam Qin glanced at Mother Yao. Yao's mother understood what she meant and nodded slightly.
Old Mrs. Qin was puzzled, just looking at the demeanor and language of her speech, and even the cleverness of taking the initiative to hand over the conversation to herself, she didn't look like a country girl who had never seen the world.
Pei Yan can also roughly guess their thoughts.
When it comes to the world, she is no less than this old lady. She also knows that there are no Chang'e and Jade Rabbit on the moon, do you know? Well, no, there came later. But this jade rabbit is not a jade rabbit, and this Chang'e is not a Chang'e. (To be continued.) )
