Chapter 75: Talk
"I'm not selling camellias," Shujie replied lightly, do these daughters of rich and noble families take it for granted?
"You...... This ......" Nangong Miaoshui's big eyes were embarrassed and aggrieved, but thinking about it, people don't raise flowers to sell, and the flowers they like are finally saved, how can they be willing to sell them to others?
Although Shujie couldn't see the expression on Nangong Miao's face, when he saw that those eyes seemed to be about to come out of the water, he couldn't bear it for no reason, and secretly said that he was still as radiant as he was just now. Thinking in his heart, his mouth involuntarily said, "Unless I cut another one in the future." ”
The frustrated Nangong Miao suddenly "flew" again: "It's really ...... Really, would you like to give me a pot of cuttings? ”
I don't know what Lu Dao is for, seeing such a cheerful Nangong Miao and those big bright eyes full of joy, Shujie's mood also soared, and he secretly sighed in his heart: How can such a big girl still be the same as my Yao'er!
Without waiting for Shujie to speak, Nangong Miao eagerly explained: "You live in Yulin County, right?" Yulin also has a 'Huitong Money Village', I will be in Yulin tomorrow will have someone explain to the shopkeeper over there, when the time comes, you can send the flowers to the money village, they will arrange to send them to the capital. ”
Nangong Miao and her entourage went to the capital from Jinzhou's hometown this time, because the sixth uncle who escorted her into Beijing was going to do something in the Daimyofu City, and she just wanted to choose a pot of peony flowers for her mother as a birthday gift, so she stayed here for one more day, and she would continue to rush to the capital through Yulin tomorrow.
Shujie was expressionless: "Okay, the cuttings are successful, I'll send them." ”
Shu Yao sighed secretly, in addition to facing her and Shuwen, the eldest brother is really "cold"! I'm only fifteen or sixteen years old, what are you doing so seriously? There was not a hint of a smile on his face.
Nangong Miao got the promise and was happy. Who cares about Shujie's black face, and from the first time she saw Shujie, that face was expressionless.
After a walk around the flower market, Shuwen fancied a small bonsai, Liu's mother asked for a pot of orchids, and Shuyao picked a chrysanthemum.
The chrysanthemum branch stem is more than a foot long, the flower path is like a palm, the flower color is like ink, revealing a natural elegance and purity, comfortable and soothing, dignified and lively. Shu Yao fell in love with that kind of charm as soon as she saw it.
The stall owner said that this is called "Mo Chrysanthemum", which is a treasure among chrysanthemums, and only they have two flowers in the entire flower market.
When paying for a silver ticket. Shuwen curiously pointed to the oil-paper bag scattered in the corner of the counter and asked, "What kind of flower seed is this?" ”
The stall owner glanced at it: "This is not a flower, it is the seed of a fruit that came from Fanbang, what is it called dragon fruit." That thing is delicious, we don't have it here, I heard that it sells very well in the capital. It's a pity that many people can't grow it after trying. I can't survive. ”
Pitaya? Shu Yao had eaten in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in his previous life, and he came from Fanbang, and one seemed to cost a few taels of silver. If you put the seeds in the mahogany box to increase the spirit, and then water it with the water that has increased the spirit, I wonder if the road can be planted alive?
Thinking about it like this, Shu Yao opened her mouth and asked, "Uncle Shopkeeper." Can you sell us a little bit of this? ”
The Shu Yao sisters and brothers are good-looking, extravagant, cute and polite. It's a dragon and phoenix fetus again, it's pleasing to look at, plus I bought an expensive black chrysanthemum, the stall owner originally wanted to give them something, and when I heard this. nodded very simply: "If you like it, you can play with it." "This half packet of seeds was discarded by his nephew and thrown here. Children play with them if they are curious.
"Xie Lu Xie Uncle Treasurer," Shuwen happily wrapped the oiled paper and handed it to Shu Yao. Delicious fruit, he likes. As for whether the seed can be planted or not, Xiao Shuwen hasn't thought about it so much, hehe.
Back to the entrance of the flower market again, the most depressed is Nangong Miao, the treasure peony that can be found in the flower market, her mother already has it, she is bent on looking for the "Yao Chi Chun" but she has not found it for half a year, and she is counting on this flower market, but the result is not, very depressed. Thinking that her mother will also go to the capital in a month, and if she can't find it again, the surprise she is going to give her mother will be gone.
Shu Yao comforted: "Sister, don't worry, I heard Sister Nian'er say that there is a peony garden in the 'Famen Temple' in the capital, although it is small, but there are many treasures. "Shu Yao liked peonies the most in her previous life, and Yao Xuelan, the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan, once took Shu Yao to the peony garden to watch when she went to Famen Temple to offer incense. Of course, that peony garden is not open to the public, and not all pilgrims can enter it, but a big pilgrim like the Nangong family is definitely seen by chance.
Mother Liu also knew about this: "Master Mingwu of Famen Temple is in charge of the peony garden, he is good at cultivating peonies, you can go and ask to see if you can give you one or help you cultivate another one." ”
"It's good, it's good, Xie Lu Xie Xiaoyao'er, Xie Lu Xie Liu's mother." Nangong Miao was happy again, it's good to have a direction, their Nangong family donates a lot of incense and silver to Famen Temple every year, it shouldn't be difficult to ask for a flower, right? It's okay to cut one cutting.
When they were about to get into the carriage, Nangong Miao suddenly looked back at Shujie again: "Young Master Xia, I'm waiting for your 'Scarlet Claw Hibiscus'." ”
Shujie let out a faint "um", turned his head and hugged his younger siblings who were waving goodbye to Nangong Miao into the carriage. also secretly slandered himself, only for a while, the little souls of his younger brothers and sisters were taken away by the Nangong girl, so affectionate, he looked pantothenic.
Nangong Miao got into her own green carriage, looked out the window with a smile, and waved to the Shu Yao sisters and brothers. The red sleeves on the side smiled and said: "The girl is destined for the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, but you gave them two purses, what about the gifts for the two cousins?" ”
Nangong Miao glanced at her lips disdainfully: "Just buy another one, those two girls, it is the happiest to directly give them two gold ingots." ”
Red Sleeves smirked, her own girl has never liked the pair of twin cousins, just now when I bought those two purses, I muttered to those two sisters that it was really a terrible thing, but I looked at it and liked it and bought it, but I didn't expect to find the owner of the purse just after I went out.
Nangong Yuzhen smiled and nodded Nangong Miao's forehead: "This kid, where did you learn it, and you speak so badly?" ”
Nangong Miao smiled and fell into Nangong Yuzhen's arms: "Isn't it?" I've never seen a little girl who is more greedy for money than them, only ten years old, and she has just gotten into the eye of money, and wants everything she sees. Look at this time, the house in the capital has just been completed, and we haven't moved in yet, so they ran directly from Shu upside down, as if they didn't leave a yard for them. ”
Nangong Yuzhen sighed lightly and hooked the corners of her lips.
The "mother" in Nangong Miao's mouth is her mother, the sister-in-law of Xu's wife, the head of Nangong Mansion, and her twin daughters, Chu Kexin and Chu Keren. Three years ago, Xiao Xu's husband died of illness, her husband's in-laws had already passed away, and her uncle was not good, so Xiao Xu took her daughter to her sister-in-law, Mrs. Nangong.
Xu's maiden brothers and sisters are not many, except for a cousin-in-law brother who is this sister-in-law, seeing the pity of their orphan daughter and widow, he enthusiastically took them in, thinking that the three mothers and daughters would not cost anything.
Xiao Xu's mother and daughter were still a little conscious of being under the fence at first, but they were slowly dazzled by the wealth of the Nangong family, and asked for more and more, and they put on a pitiful appearance at every turn, as if they had been bullied and abused by someone, in order to win sympathy and get more.
Seeing more of their tears, Nangong Miao went from sympathy at the beginning, to dizzy and annoyed when she saw them later.
A few years ago, Xiao Xu's mother and daughter went back to Shu to deal with some of their deceased husband's properties in Shudi, and then they couldn't wait to go directly from Shu to Xinnangong Mansion in the capital, and they didn't go to Jinzhou to meet their sister first.
Nangong Yuzhen really disdains Xiao Xu's actions, but she herself is a widow who returned to Nangong Mansion, and she is still a widow with no heirs, although the eldest brother's family treats her very well, and her niece Nangong Miao has been attached to her since she was a child, she is still very cautious and doesn't want to give people a bad image of anti-customer. Therefore, she never wanted to say much about Xiao Xu's mother and daughter.
Nangong Miao didn't like to mention the mother and daughter, so she quickly changed the topic: "Aunt Zhen, what kind of mansion did you say the three brothers and sisters of Yao'er came from?" Judging by their bearing, clothing, and carriage, they don't look like ordinary people, well, even that Mother Liu is not ordinary. Also, the flowers they bought were also precious. However, Yao'er said that their family made tofu and sold it, and they could find them when they asked the Xia family for tofu in Yulin. ”
Nangong Yuzhen said with a smile: "People can't look good, many ordinary people come out of the family, and their popularity is no worse than that of the children of the family." However, I just noticed that Miss Shu Yao's cloak has the sign of coming out of the palace, just like the two cranes that were rewarded to your eldest brother and sister-in-law in the palace last time. ”
"Well," Nangong Yuzhen paused, "and although their clothes are extravagant, they are all plain, Mother Liu said that they came to the Daimyo Mansion City to attend the birthday banquet, and in the first month, they still participated in the birthday banquet of the elders and dressed so plainly, there is only one possibility, it should be a great filial piety." ”
"Huh? No way? How pathetic is that? Nangong Miao shouted, Shu Yao's sister and brother are still so young, whether they have no father or no mother, they are very miserable. No wonder Xia Shujie is so nervous and cares for his younger brothers and sisters, the eldest brother is like a father.
Nangong Yuzhen also thought of this: "Look at that Xia Gongzi, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he is much more stable than ordinary people of the same age, and he takes care of his younger brothers and sisters in every way like a father does to his children. While paying the silver ticket, he was still staring at his younger siblings, afraid that they would go away and get separated. ”
Red Sleeves also said: "Isn't it?" But the two little ones are also well-behaved, and they seem to be very dependent on their eldest brother. The relationship between the three brothers and sisters is really good. ”
Nangong Miao's mind once again reflected the young but cold Xia Shujie, and suddenly found that the expressionless face was so gentle when talking to Shu Yao and Shuwen, sometimes with a doting smile. It's nice to have an older brother like that!
