Nangong Miao was still in the backyard, Nangong Yi was not in a hurry to leave, but sat in the hall chatting with King Jing and Wei Yuanhou. It's almost the end of the year, and the Nangong family has five big ships to return to the Great Zhou from the Western Ocean, and the goods on the ships are the first choice for the rich and noble families in Beijing to prepare their own New Year's Eve and give New Year's gifts.

The Nangong family is strong, and the procurement funds, security capabilities, storage and preservation facilities are not easy for others to achieve, and there are many buyers who are proficient in the procurement of foreign goods, so even if there are a few other caravans mixed into the sea transportation now, it cannot shake the absolute position of the Nangong family in this field.

"Second son, what kind of roses are you talking about, you have to leave some for me, well, I heard that Xiao is like the moon season of our big week." King Jing is a real carefree prince, who doesn't care about political affairs, and loves strange flowers and plants.

King Jing is the uncle of the emperor today, when the emperor was the first emperor, the situation in the court was chaotic, Prince Yong supported the prince at that time, and several other princes had to wait and see, some fell to the queen mother, and some were biased towards the prince, the entire imperial city, and even the entire capital, just one word: risk.

At that time, King Jing had the 20,000 troops closest to the capital, and there were not many people, but it became the key to the contention between the two sides at that critical moment. King Jing finally chose the crown prince, that is, the current emperor, and made a lot of contributions to the emperor's smooth accession to the throne.

Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, King Jing resolutely handed over the military power to the emperor, resigned from all the affairs of the court, and became a free prince. The emperor couldn't resist it, and he didn't insist anymore, but just said: "You will always be my eighth uncle." And announced in public: "King Xian doesn't need to kneel when he sees me in this life, King Xian is in the same vein, as long as there is no real crime of rebellion." can be hereditary "Virtuous King" title. Hereditary fiefdoms. Enjoy the prince's fortune forever. ”

The fiefdom of King Xian is in the south, and King Xian, who has always loved flowers and plants, is like a fish in water, and has given his time and energy to all kinds of flowers, especially precious camellias.

In the past few years, the emperor suddenly felt tired for some reason, and began to envy King Jing's leisurely life and recruited him back to Beijing.

Da Zhou originally advocated the cultivation of flowers. Even ordinary people who worry about three meals all day long will plant some unknown and unwanted flowers in their yards, or in front of and behind their houses.

Not to mention the rich and noble, showing off the rich, than the rich are indispensable "Douhua", there are not a few rare varieties of peonies, camellias, orchids and other precious flowers in the house, no matter how much silver is just not on the table of the "local tyrant", this is also the reason why Zhang Caishu such a big flower farmer can make a fortune, some precious flowers, it is really hard to find.

The emperor is no exception, he also likes flowers, and when he is bored, he will suddenly run to King Jing's mansion to stay in the flower garden with King Jing for an hour, or summon King Jing into the palace. Listen to him talk about the Sutra of Raising Flowers, in order to "dilute" the troubles brought to him by those state affairs and family affairs. The emperor likes the moon season. Therefore, King Jing had already ordered Western roses from the Nangong caravan, and then he repeatedly explained to Nangong Yi.

Nangong Yizhi said that this carefree prince is enthusiastic about exotic flowers and plants, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the prince has specially arranged for the prince to prepare a separate one, and I will prepare some more quantities in case of damage." By the way, when our caravan passed through a place called 'Asia', we also found a very beautiful flower, called tulips, which grew only one flower on the top, and the flowers were large and showy. This time, our people will also bring back some tulips, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to feed them in our Great Zhou, especially in the north. ”

Wei Yuanhou hurriedly "joined in the fun": "In this way, the second son, you have to get me two plants." ”

King Jing was full of interest: "Don't be afraid of difficult to raise, think slowly, we have a reason (Zhang Caishu's words), and Brother Jie, so you have to help me." Although you are good at raising camellias, there are still commonalities in raising flowers, and the key is that we must know the climate, water, and soil conditions where those flowers are used to growing. Speaking of which, the 'greenhouse and vegetable planting' made by the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion has given us a lot of inspiration for raising flowers. Well, we'll look into it together when the time comes. ”

Nangong Yi said with a smile: "Speaking of raising flowers, King Jing is really knowledgeable, and the most rare thing is that all kinds of flowers are dabbled, which makes people ashamed." ”

Zhang Caishu also said: "Exactly, it is only relatively long in cultivating camellias, for the purpose of buying and selling, too single, and too utilitarian." If you talk about raising flowers and loving flowers, I admire two people, one is you, the prince, and the other is my nephew Brother Jie. ”

Nangong Yi was surprised: "Oh? Xia Gongzi can be literary and martial, which is rare, but I didn't expect to be good at raising flowers. "Da Zhou advocates flowers, and people who are good at raising flowers are "elegant" in the eyes of others, and even farmers and businessmen who raise flowers are more elegant than ordinary farmers and businessmen.

King Jing took over with a smile: "Isn't it?" A ragged colt may make a good horse! The boy followed his uncle's help, and his skill in raising flowers was not under his uncle's. "King Jing already knows that the eighteen bachelors of Lu Dao are from the hands of Shujie, and he also knows that Lu Dao Shujie is good at cultivating camellias, and most of the camellias that Yunyuan takes special care of every month are also from Shujie. However, he promised to keep Shujie confidential, so that Shujie would not be frequently disturbed before the exam and could not concentrate on preparing for the exam.

King Jing is a person who really loves flowers, and naturally cherishes the talent who is good at raising flowers, and he is very eye-catching when he sees Shujie, and thinks that Shujie has great talents, and he can do more things that are beneficial to Da Zhou in the future, how can he revolve around flowers all day long like him, a carefree old man?

It happened that Shujie followed Jin Xida to send the guests back, and when he heard King Jing's words praising him, he smiled and said: "The prince is too famous, and Shujie is still learning from his uncle." Nangong Gongzi, the younger brother has already gone to inform the Nangong girl, you may have to wait a little longer, the younger brother has not had time to talk to the Nangong girl today, and he is in a hurry, so he is worried that the Nangong girl will go back first. Hehe, you don't know Lu Dao, every time my brother and sister write a letter to Nangong girl, it is a thick stack, and I don't know if they have so much to say when they write a letter to my eldest brother? ”

"Ha Lu Ha" A few people laughed, and Jin Xida gave Shujie a punch funny: "You kid, are you still eating?" Yao'er and Jie'er are the most sticky, right? ”

"Ha Lu Ha" Wei Yuanhou smiled: "Wen Jun, this sounds, why does it sound like you, a father-in-law?" ”

Nangong Yi also smiled: "My sister-in-law and Brother Ling are also really in love, and there are many cousins, cousins and cousins at that age, so I didn't see her so attentive, and when I saw any interesting things, I hurriedly collected them and kept them." This person is really a fateful word. But your twin siblings are really delightful, smart and well-behaved, and I like them all. (To be continued......)
