Chapter Ninety-Seven: Expected

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, after several autumn rains, the weather quickly turned cooler.

In early September, the first greenhouse of the Bai family had been built, and Bai Qingshuang, who had been idle for a long time, finally had a lot of energy.

In order to save the space and space of the greenhouse, Bai Qingshuang asked the craftsmen to build two floors in the greenhouse, and after the upper layer was piled with soil, flowers and plants could also be planted.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, early in the morning of this day, Bai Qingshuang advanced the space to dig out some of the best flowers and plants that have been cultivated first, and then took advantage of Bai Yao's they have not yet gotten up, so they slipped into the greenhouse, moved the flowers and plants in the space, and prepared to plant them in sections.

Before he could do anything, the door of the conservatory was pushed open, and Bai Yao walked in, bringing a gust of wind that almost blew out the oil lamp.

Seeing the flowers and plants in one place, he asked with a surprised face: "Shuang'er, where did so many flowers and plants come from?" ”

It turned out that she heard the sound of Bai Qingshuang opening the door, and seeing that it was still early, she didn't know what this little girl was doing in the morning, so she also got up.

"Mother! Why did you get up so early! Bai Qingshuang cautiously glanced at the flowers and plants piled up all over the ground, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't be so greedy and take them out of the space all at once, and should gradually add them, so as not to be questioned.

How can this be explained now?

Now that Wan Niang's family is very close to their family, if she talks about Wan Niang's family, Bai Yao's family will definitely help Wan Niang when she speaks!

"I woke up early today, and I just heard the sound of your door opening and closing, so I got up and took a look!" As Bai Yao spoke, he had already walked to Bai Qingshuang's side with a small shovel from the corner on the side and asked, "Sue sΓΉ Niang, how do you arrange these flowers and plants, Niang will help you plant them together!" ”

Huh? That's it, don't ask her where the flowers and plants come from?

Bai Qingshuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said with a smile: "Grass plants are planted on top, flowers are planted below, mother, you plant one over there, first plant peonies, peonies, camellias, ......"

"Shuang'er, you haven't told your mother where so many flowers and plants come from, and they are all blooming spring and summer flowers, such rare flowers, it really makes my mother see it!" Bai Yao asked again.

Bai Qingshuang suddenly secretly raised his forehead, and he was so proud that he forgot about his mother's curiosity.

Alas! Whoever it is, you will be curious, after all, it is already September, and it looks like it is about to enter winter, and there can be such a bright spring and summer flower tree appearing, and it is strange if you are not curious!

"Mother, is it okay to tell you about this later? Because I promised people that I can't tell me where these flowers come from for the time being, or he will be punished! "I can't tell the truth, I can only tell a white lie.

Bai Qingshuang secretly sweated with a weak heart, and then peeked at Bai Yao's expression.

"Aren't you going to be ...... flowers?" Bai Yao's family didn't get angry when he heard this, he just looked at his daughter in surprise, and made the boldest guess, could it be from the palace?

Everyone in the capital knows that the emperor and concubine loved flowers the most, in addition to driving the trend of flower hairpins, but also driving the popularity of flower cakes, and I heard that the emperor loved her, and built a glass house for her in the palace, and the flowers planted in it are said to be in full bloom all year round.

Could it be that Shuang'er got the help of the people in the palace to have the idea of warming the house and the place where the flowers came from?

couldn't help but think of the silk handkerchief that Bai Qingshuang had taken out, which was also an object only in the palace, Bai Yao's brows were tightened, and he said worriedly: "Shuang'er, you have to remember that we are just small households, and we must not interact too closely and frequently with those people in the courtyard of the deep house, otherwise we will get into trouble!" ”

Of course, Bai Qingshuang didn't know what Bai Yao was thinking and worried about, and no matter what kind of speculation she made, as long as her treasure space was not exposed first, she would be able to feel at ease for the time being.

So, she immediately smiled sweetly and said, "Mother, don't worry, Shuang'er is measured!" ”

"That's good!" Bai Yao turned around and touched her head, she can still believe this daughter, but I just hope that person won't hurt her frost.

"Mother, these flowers and plants in the conservatory, you have to help Shuang'er hide it from your father, otherwise your father will be worried!" So many fresh flowers and plants that suddenly popped up are really not something that ordinary people can accept immediately.

As for what Bai Yao's thoughts, it doesn't matter, anyway, she can see that Bai Yao's is sincere to her, and she doesn't go out of the house, so she won't talk about it with anyone, but Bai Zhihong is teaching outside, in case he leaks his mouth when chatting with others, it won't be good.

Of course, as long as you survive this autumn and winter, you won't have to worry about anything next year.

"Hmmm! Good! ”

While chatting, the two planted the entire greenhouse with flowers and plants.

When he came out of the conservatory, it was already dark outside, Bai Yao went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and Bai Qingshuang lit a fire in the stove outside the conservatory to maintain the temperature in the conservatory.

Feeling that the temperature in the room was almost like that of March, Bai Qingshuang returned to the front yard for breakfast.

Before the family had eaten well, the courtyard door was banged.

"I'm going to open the door, and I'm about to go to a private school!" Bai Zhihong said goodbye to his wife and children, and went out first with a basket on his back, and now he has a task every day that is to go to the mountains to get some firewood before going home, in addition to cooking, but also to supply the stove for the greenhouse.

"Dad, I'll send you!" Bai Qingshuang was in a good mood and ate a little bit, so she volunteered to send Bai Zhihong out, and of course she was with Bai Qingfeng, who was a fart.

Opening the courtyard door, Wan Niang waited outside with an anxious face, and when she saw Bai Qingshuang, she said eagerly: "Sister Shuang, it's not good, except for the second lady who still ordered our garland, there are no other ladies and girls to book!" ”

"But what's wrong?" Bai Zhihong asked anxiously first.

He knew that his daughter could make a lot of money selling garlands, and if no one bought them, her daughter would be sad.

Who knows, when he looked back, Bai Qingshuang said with a clear face and a calm smile: "Sister Wan, don't worry, this matter is what I expected!" ”

Then, she said to Bai Zhihong, who was also worried: "Dad, you go to school first, don't worry about us!" ”

"Is it really what you expected?" Bai Zhihong asked uneasily.

"Yes! Just what I expected! Bai Qingshuang smiled firmly and urged him to leave quickly, and then led Wanniang inside.

"Sister Frost, why do you say that?" Seeing Bai Qingshuang's expression so calm, Wan Niang's anxious mood also calmed down a lot.

"Sister Wan first, tell me what the maids from all the prefectures who don't come to ask for orders tell you!" Bai Qingshuang asked calmly, if she didn't guess wrong, it must have something to do with the night banquet in the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"They all said that our garlands were too expensive, so they first bargained with me, saying that they were five cents and continued to order them from us, and if they exceeded, they would give up. I didn't agree because I remembered that my sister said that we didn't sell garlands, but matching and color, which can't be compared with the others, so I didn't agree, and then they all said that they wouldn't order from us in the future. ”

Wan Niang conveyed the words of the maids who had come early in the morning to Bai Qingshuang.

"That's understandable!" Bai Qingshuang nodded very understandingly, "Now, in addition to chrysanthemums, there are only osmanthus flowers, osmanthus branches are fragile and not easy to weave, so only chrysanthemums are feasible." But there is only one kind of chrysanthemum, although there are many varieties of colors, but after all, it is monotonous, as long as there is not much conflict with the color of the clothes, naturally there is no need to bother to pay attention to the color matching. And,The object of our competition,I think the backstage must be very hard.,After all,People who can stretch out their hands to the harem and make decisions are definitely not simple flower girls! ”

"Sister is saying that the people in the harem have intervened?" Wan Niang covered her lips in surprise and stopped her exclamation.

"Whether it's a person in the harem, I don't know, but I can't escape those forces left and right!" Otherwise, the second lady who is the Protector Mansion will never be ordered not to wear a wreath on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"So what are we going to do?" The twenty taels of silver a day are now in the soup, and only Meng Guanxing is still persistently ordering the garland, which is equivalent to losing nineteen taels in vain, Wan Niang is really distressed.

"Sister, don't worry, let's just wait and see!" Bai Qingshuang comforted Wan Niang.

Besides, her main purpose was not to make a living by selling flowers, but to use flowers to raise funds.

Of course, some opportunities are not waiting for God to come, but also have to work hard and create opportunities.

Now that the conservatory has been built and the flowers have been planted, her precious space can finally play its role.

"Good! Sister listens to sister! Looking at Bai Qingshuang, who was half a head younger than her love, Wan Niang's originally anxious mood finally relaxed slowly.

"By the way, did my sister have breakfast? If you haven't eaten it, let my mother cook some for you! ”

"I've eaten it!"

"If you've eaten, let's go out for a walk, it's time to find a cheaper shop!" There are almost 1,000 taels of silver in the gongzhong, so it should be possible to find a smaller shop on Beishi Street!

"What is my sister looking for a shop for?" Wan Niang was stunned for a moment and asked puzzled.

"Sister forgot about it, did we say that we would open a shop together to do business?" Bai Qingshuang asked with a smile.

Wan Niang shook her head and said, "Of course I haven't forgotten, but what kind of business is my sister going to do?" Eat? Nowadays, I think that in the capital, it is still the best food business! ”

"Huh! Sister, it's not good for me to be a kitchen idiot in the food business! Bai Qingshuang sweated and said, being a foodie, she is very happy!

"What is my sister going to do?"

"How about we open a flower shop?"

"Florist?" Wan Niang frowned slightly, "The flower shop is good, but now that the bracelets and garlands you invented have been robbed, what other tricks can we make?" ”

"Those are just handouts to them, and as for our florist, it's just a transition......" R1152
