Before the time came, the third husband and wife of the Zhong family came back, and they also brought back a pot of flowers. Zhong Chichun and Wen Chunyi came out of the room, and the two of them saw the dazzling expressions on the faces of the third master and wife of the Zhong family, and then took a look at the delicate flower plate, and the two approached the past and then looked at the flowers in the plate. Although Wen Chunyi doesn't know how to appreciate flowers, he only thinks that the quality of this flower is quite good.
Zhong Chichun looked at Hua Qi very carefully, and the more he looked at him, the more stern his expression became. Wen Chunyi inadvertently turned his face to see the solemn expression on his face, and then turned to see the third master and wife of the Zhong family who were showing off their strength with the fifth old man and his wife, and she took two steps back from Zhong Chichun's side slightly. The children crowded up to enjoy the flowers, they were giggling and talking, and Zhong Chichun retreated. The five old men and their wives were supported by the three old men of the Zhong family and their husbands to come forward to enjoy the flowers, listening to the introduction of the three old men of the Zhong family from the shape of the flowers to the flowers and leaves, the five old men and their wives were both amazed, and they only felt that the three old men of the Zhong family had high tastes and strides, and appreciated things, which was never the perspective of ordinary people.
There was too much commotion in the Zhong Mansion, and when Liu Xiaodi heard the movement, he also ran over to look at the flowers. He said to the third master of the Zhong family in amazement: "Grandfather of the Zhong family, I have never seen such beautiful flowers when I am so big, can I ask my family to come and see the flowers?" The third master of the Zhong family nodded with a smug expression, praised him casually, and said, "The little brother has a vision, and this flower is indeed very good-looking." "Little Brother Liu invited all the people of the Liu family to enjoy the flowers, and after Liu Laohan and his wife enjoyed the flowers. Liu Laohan sighed and said to the third master and wife of the Zhong family: "My daughter-in-law said that the flowers of the county family were beautiful in the past, and I think it must be as beautiful as your plate of flowers." ”
Liu Laohan's honest words made the third master of the Zhong family look at him, he smiled and stretched out his five fingers, and said, "This plate of flowers costs this amount of silver." Liu Laohan looked at his fingers, exclaimed and said, "Fifty taels of silver, this is very expensive." Brother Ran, they picked several plates of flowers last time, and they didn't have this price. The third master of the Zhong family was a little unhappy, but he felt that he couldn't talk to Liu Laohan, so he looked at the fifth master. Shaking his head lightly, he said to Liu Laohan: "Those flowers picked by the children." It's all popular flowers, and I'm a strange flower, so I may only buy it with this number. Besides, the average little gardener can't cultivate a single such famous product. ”
Liu Laohan and his wife heard that the price of this flower was more expensive than fifty taels. The husband and wife immediately had no interest in cherry blossom viewing. Liu Laohan shook his head lightly and said to the third master of the Zhong family: "You scholars are willing to spend such a large price. Buy a flower that you can't eat. We are a small family, but listening to your words, I feel a lot of pain. Never mind. Let's go home first. Liu Laohan and his wife were like someone rushing behind, and they walked out of the door of the Zhong Mansion quickly. Liu Zhu was a little embarrassed to explain to the third master of the Zhong family: "My father and mother are people who have never seen the world, as long as there is something about silver, both of them are distressed. ”
Mrs. Liu nodded again and again on the side and said, "In the past two years, the family has been looser, and the old man has to look at the things that we spend money on. A few years ago, Mrs. Zhixian sent us a plate of flowers, and my father and mother asked us to resell it for rice and grain, saying that it was not as practical to plant flowers on the plate as it was to grow vegetables. If it weren't for my father's assertive stopping, and this matter was done at their words, it would have been a big shame at that time. Liu Zhu and his wife's sincere explanations made the faces of the third master of the Zhong family look much better.
Liu Zhu looked at the plate of flowers, and still sounded with the third master of the Zhong family quite curiously: "Uncle of the Zhong family, how much money did you spend on this famous flower?" The third master of the Zhong family was obviously interested in this topic, he stretched out five fingers and shook them in front of Liu Zhu, and said: "It's not expensive, the original master's family asked for eight hundred taels of silver, and I had a friendship with him, and I agreed to take five hundred taels of silver." Now only one hundred taels of silver have been given, and I will collect all the silver and send it over today and tomorrow. Liu Zhu gasped, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhong Chichun and Wen Chunyi's expressions.
Zhong Chichun looked at the third master of the Zhong family with deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "Father, you really like this flower very much, and you want to bring it back to Ancheng in the future?" The third master of the Zhong family listened to him, he looked disgusted, and said, "I picked and decorated the yard for your family, so I might bring it back to Ancheng." It's such a long way to go, I'm afraid I'll ruin this flower. Liu Zhu immediately stretched out his hand and pulled the Liu woman who was waiting on the side, and said, "Didn't your brother say that he was going to come over and tell us about repairing the yard after the year, I listened to the movement, as if they had already come." Let's go, let's go back with the kids. ”
Lady Liu looked at him with a surprised expression, and when she saw the hint in his eyes, she immediately laughed, and beckoned to Little Brother Liu and said, "Little brother, your uncle and they are here, let's go back quickly." She smiled and said hello to the people in the yard one by one, and then deliberately approached Wen Chunyi, and hurriedly whispered: "Your adult is back, if there is something, don't go up blindly." After she finished speaking, she hurried away after Liu Zhu. Wen Chunyi took a look at the father and son in the yard, she reached out and took the hands of Sister Le and Brother Chen, and said to Brother Zhong Mingran with a smile: "Today's dinner, to make small cakes, do you want to go to the kitchen to make cakes?" ”
The four boys immediately nodded happily, dropped the plate of flowers one by one, and all went to the kitchen. Sister Le and Brother Chen shook Wen Chunyi's hands, and the two shouted, "We are going too." Wen Chunyi took a group of children into the kitchen, and the fifth master said to the fifth lady: "The old man of the Wen family is looking for me to play chess, I will go and accompany him to play a game of chess and come back." The fifth lady usually stopped him from going, but this time she just smiled and said, "Don't grind too late, when the time comes, you will ask the children to look for someone." The fifth master casually answered the fifth lady, and left in a hurry.
The fifth lady smiled with the third lady of the Zhong family and said: "Brother Ran'er's grandfather's chess skills are not good, and it is rare to meet someone who is willing to accompany him, and this heart is wild to go outside." The third lady of the Zhong family was impatient to tell her such things, and she was only willing to talk to people about some elegant things. She nodded lightly and said, "The men are in charge, and we can only accept our fate." The fifth lady didn't quite understand her words, and felt that it was not good not to answer, so she could only deal with it casually and nodded, and said: "Yes, my family is like this, and the big and small matters in the family have always been decided by Brother Ran's grandfather."
