Chapter 26: Xu's Move

Mrs. Zuo turned her head to the side, and saw her mother standing beside her, and when she saw her coming, she nodded at Xu's side. Mrs. Zuo smiled slightly, approached Xu's and whispered a few words, and then the two got up and went to the other side to speak: "Okay, that maid, you have entered the flower room." ”

Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned happy: "Really? ”

Mrs. Zuo smiled and nodded: "I'm doing something, are you still not at ease?" Who is with whom are the two of us, but I treat you as my own sister, can you not help with such a little thing? Wait with peace of mind, and in a little while, you will surely hear the good news. ”

Xu nodded hurriedly: "In the end, Sister Zuo is good to me, Sister Zuo can rest assured, if this thing really happens, I will definitely keep Sister Zuo's kindness in my heart." As he spoke, he reached out and pinched Mrs. Zuo's hand: "I know that my sister has been chanting Buddha recently, and I have a white jade Buddha statue, so Ming'er will ask someone to send it to my sister." ”

Mrs. Zuo pretended to be annoyed: "Isn't it for a Buddha statue that I helped you?" ”

Xu hurriedly smiled and said: "I know that my sister is not short of this Buddha statue, and the Zuo family has a big business, how can I look at a Buddha statue in my eyes?" It's just that, in the end, it's my mind, the Buddha statue is specially invited back from Fayuan Temple, and I invited Master Fan to open the light, ask for blessings and peace, and offer it in front of the Buddha, and today is exactly 7749 days, and tomorrow can please come back. ”

Mrs. Zuo smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't shirk." ”

Xu hurriedly flattered Mrs. Zuo a few words, and the two returned to the stage together. Mrs. Wang's eyes swept over the two of them, frowned slightly and thought for a while, thinking that the two of them had not been out for a long time, and there was nothing wrong with them, so she turned her head to watch the play with confidence.

Shu Manyao, Wang Shumin, and Li Yingying directly found the little maid in Zuofu to lead the way, and the three of them talked while walking. When she arrived at the flower room, Li Yingying smiled and said: "The flower room of the Zuo family is really worthy of its reputation, only this area is the number one in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

This flower house is a very money-burning thing, and the larger the area, the more charcoal fires will be burned in winter. The flowers are delicate, and this charcoal fire has to choose the best one, and there is no smoke.

Moreover, only the temperature is not enough, the flowers still have to bask in the sun, and the roof above this flower house is still specially made. It is very easy to make colored glass, but it is not easy to create the kind of colorless and transparent light.

Glass is a rare thing, and the rich family is already very rich when it uses some as windows, not to mention that the entire roof is used. The larger the area occupied by this flower house, the more glass is needed.

The roof here is not sealed during the day, and there is still a charcoal fire there, and it is not possible to have hundreds of catties of charcoal fire in a day. This flower house is not a day's work, as soon as the weather is cool, it has to start to be provided in late autumn, plus winter, at least four months in a year, the cost is not at all what ordinary people can raise.

Wang Shumin also smiled: "Indeed, but the Zuo family is a century-old family, and there is still a family background to come." ”

Shu Manyao turned her head to look at Wang Shumin, and asked curiously: "Sister Wang, is it possible that the flower room in your house is not as good as the Zuo family?" "The richest man in Jiangnan is not comparable to ordinary people.

Six of the world's money is gathered in Jiangnan, and the Wang family accounts for half of it, this wealth, even if it is the Zuo family, can't be compared, right?

"Our family is all vulgar." Wang Shumin curled the corners of her mouth, stood at the door of the flower room and looked up: "We can't serve this kind of elegant thing, I'm afraid that only a century-old family like the Zuo family can find someone to serve this flower and plant." ”

Li Yingying sneered, and a mother-in-law came over with the key, opened the door of the flower room, and let the three girls in. As soon as he entered, there was a hot breath blowing in his face, and Xia Xi hurriedly came over to untie Shu Manyao's cloak first.

"It's well deserved." Li Yingying swept around and praised with a smile, they were all girls' homes, and when they saw the flowers blooming, they couldn't help but lean over to look.

After Shu Manyao returned to his soul, on the one hand, he had to find a way to change his situation, on the other hand, he had to beware of Xu's bad behavior, and he had to rack his brains to return the favor to Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu. Finally, when my life has improved, I have to start learning to paint again, and I rarely feel relaxed. At this time, I saw the splendor of the room, and my mood soared, and I also came closer to smell the fragrance of flowers.

"Miss Shu, Miss Li, Miss Wang, these are just ordinary flowers, the flower room of the Zuo family, the most famous is the peony in winter, do you want to take a look?" The little maid of the Zuo family who followed saw that the three of them were happy, and she also boldly suggested: "It's over there." ”

"Really? The peony of the Zuo family in winter, I have also heard that last year, on the birthday of our old lady, the Zuo family also gave a pot of peonies as a birthday gift. Li Yingying hurriedly said: "It's a pity that our family is not lawful, but it will be half a month for the peony to lose." ”

Wang Shumin nodded dispensably: "If Sister Li wants to see it, let's go and take a look." ”

Shu Manyao also wanted to go a little, so the three of them went to see the peony together under the leadership of the little maid. Sure enough, it was the same as the little maid said, the peony was delicate and gorgeous, and it was very lively.

Shu Manyao leaned over and smelled it twice, and couldn't help frowning: "This smells ......" looked at the little girl, a little hesitant: "Why do I think this smell weird?" Isn't it that I haven't smelled this peony flower for a long time, so I forgot the smell of peony flowers? ”

Hearing this, Wang Shumin also leaned over and sniffed it twice, and then frowned slightly: "I think this smell is indeed a little strange." ”

Li Yingying hurriedly picked up the two people: "Let me smell it." Then he nodded thoughtfully: "It's a little weird." ”

The little maid hurriedly smiled and said, "It's probably because of the secret method used by the mother-in-law who raised flowers, Miss Li, do you remember what the peony flowers sent by the Zuo family last year tasted like?" Isn't it the same as this one? If you raise it in winter, it is not the same as what you raise in spring. ”

Li Yingying touched her chin and thought about it for a long time, before she nodded hesitantly: "It's about the same as this, it's been too long, I don't remember it very clearly." I remember that your girl said before, there is a pot of Wei Zi in your flower room? Can it bloom now? ”

"It's blooming, and the slave maid will take a few girls to take a look." The little maid hurriedly said, turned around and took the three of them to see something else.

"There are a lot of flowers." After turning around, Li Yingying sighed: "If only my family could have such a flower house, I will definitely grow a lot of flowers, and then send a pot to each person." ”

"I remember that." Wang Shumin said with a smile: "Maybe you will have that opportunity in the future?" If you don't give me a pot of flowers, I'll come to the door. ”

Li Yingying was stunned for a while, and then suddenly reacted to the meaning of these words, and immediately blushed, and turned to Wang Shumin: "You little girl, you can say these things." Speaking of which, if I had that chance, you wouldn't know where you would be then. ”

Wang Shumin also blushed, and Shu Manyao only watched with a smile on the side. After making trouble for a while, I felt a little dizzy, and reached out and dragged Wang Shumin and Li Yingying: "Sister Wang, Sister Li, I feel a little dizzy, I'm afraid that the fire in this flower room is too strong, why don't we go out for a walk?" ”

Li Yingying nodded immediately: "You went to see the plum garden with Man Jin before, what is the scene in the plum garden?" ”

"It's just buds." Shu Manyao said with a smile, and walked out with Wang Shumin: "It's good-looking, and it's good-looking, but after watching it for a long time, it's just like that." If Sister Li wants to see it, let's go over and have a look. ”

Out of the flower room, the three of them went to the plum garden again.

The more Shu Manyao walked, the more he felt that his head was groggy, and the strength in his body seemed to be slowly drained, and his body was a little weak. She frowned slightly, and reached out to cover her forehead, it can't be an alternation of cold and hot, her body is really uncomfortable, right?

Looking at Li Yingying and Wang Shumin, who were talking in front, Shu Manyao deliberately took two steps behind, and stretched out her hand to beckon Xia Xi: "Let's touch my forehead, why do I feel a little uncomfortable." ”

Xia Xi's face immediately changed, and she hurriedly stretched out her head, put her forehead against Shu Manyao's forehead, and only stood up straight after a while, shaking her head a little happily: "The girl didn't have a fever, but because she had been in the flower room for a long time just now, she felt uncomfortable?" ”

Shu Manyao shook his head and helped Xia Xi to walk forward: "I have no strength in my body, and I am a little dizzy, I'm afraid I really calculated." Shu Manyao is not stupid, looking at Li Yingying and Wang Shumin in front of her, she didn't feel the slightest discomfort, and thought of the fragrance of peony flowers she smelled in the flower room just now.

At this time, she had already figured out that the taste of other flowers was the same as before, compared with what was planted in winter or spring, it was just a little more heated. Only the taste of the peony flower is different from the others. I was fooled by the little maid just now, and I was a little puzzled at this time, whether the little maid took them to see the peony, whether it was intentional or unintentional.

"Girl, what can I do?" Xia Xi helped Shu Manyao to walk forward, and felt more and more that Shu Manyao's body was sinking, so she was a little panicked, she was Shu Manyao's personal maid, and she knew the meaning of Shu Manyao looking for Mrs. Wang and Miss Wang to play before, so she guessed Xu's calculations.

I thought that the girl was smart and really escaped the Xu family's conspiracy, but I didn't expect that the original ones were just to hide people's eyes and ears, and the real calculations were only started when they were hidden here. Their girl, how did she not calculate this, and now she fell into someone else's scheme.

If something really happened to the girl, then the Xu family would have succeeded. No matter how careful the girl is in the future, I am afraid that the reputation of being sick and weak will not be washed away.
