Under the canopy set up outside the door, six women of different ages stood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The leader is the old lady who guessed the flower riddle just now, she is over the age of flowers, her gray hair is tied in a flat bun, the left side of the bun is obliquely inlaid with gems and phoenix butterfly gilt silver hairpins, the right is a Khotanese green jade ruyi-shaped hairpin, and the middle hairpin has an iron red marigold, wearing a rose purple peony pattern brocade robe, and a long skirt with birds and flowers on the ground.

However, Kang Yan was not attracted by her luxurious clothes, she noticed that the old lady's cheeks were thin, and her eyes were full of twilight that had gone through vicissitudes, and no matter how delicate the clothes on her body were, they could not hide the twilight.

How many vicissitudes of the world should have been experienced to have this twilight, Kang Yan sighed in her heart.

Hearing the crisp sound of beads colliding when the curtain was lifted, the group led by the old lady turned around and saw a beautiful and delicate girl about fourteen or fifteen years old standing in front of the door.

The old lady glanced at Kang Yan indifferently, and then turned her head to concentrate on the next flower riddle, as if the flower riddle had attracted all her attention.

Kang Yan curtsied, "Hello old lady." She pointed to the Kang family flower shop behind her, "I am the owner of this shop, we have activities here to fight flowers these days, and anyone who guesses the flower riddle will have a gift to give, you wait, I have arranged for someone to pick up the gift." ”

"No need, guessing riddles is just for pleasure, gifts or something for those in need." The old lady didn't raise her eyes, opened her mouth lightly, and looked indifferent and desireless in her words.

Kang Yan was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect to hear such an answer, she thought about it, and replied in the same light tone: "Giving gifts is just keeping promises, whether you give them to me or not, and you can't receive them." ”

The old lady didn't expect Kang Yan to immediately change the content of her words and return them to her, and her eyes turned to Kang Yan from the flower riddle in her hand.

The girl standing opposite was only fourteen or fifteen years old, her eyes were as bright and clear as autumn water, her eyebrows were trimmed, well, she could be regarded as a middle-class posture, and she could still be unhurried and generous under her eyes, this little girl had some guts.

Qiao Danhua in the house held a bottle of perfume in his hand, and a small pot of canna walked out, looked at Kang Yan, and asked with her eyes whether to give this gift or not, she just heard Kang Yan's conversation with her in the house.

People don't seem to want it.

Looking at the dress of this group of people, even the maids who followed behind were wearing high-quality fabrics, and their clothes and temperament were not bad, thinking that this old lady must be an old lady from a wealthy family.

Kang Yan was a little surprised when she saw the canna in Qiao Danhua's hand, but she didn't say anything, she stepped forward to take the thing in Qiao Danhua's hand, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, strange, she was obviously an old lady, how could she look at people's eyes so sharp, as if she could penetrate people's hearts.

If she is looked at by this old lady again, she really doesn't know if she can resist it.

Kang Yan stepped forward and sent the things in her hand forward, smiling, "Little things, the old lady deserves it, please accept it." ”

Qiao Danhua thought that the old lady must be used to being rich and noble in the family, and she couldn't look down on these little things, so she saw that Kang Yan insisted on giving them, so she also helped and said: "This canna is raised by Ah Yan herself, and the other bottle is called Orchid Perfume, which is made by extracting the juice of orchids, and it is used to smoke clothes or something." ”

The old lady's gaze turned on Qiao Danhua, and finally stopped on the pear vortex brought out by Kang Yan's lips with a smile, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and even a faint excitement, and then disappeared.

Seeing that the master didn't say no, the housekeeper's mother, who had been following the old lady, made a color to the little maid, and the little maid came out to take the things from Kang Yan's hand.

Well-trained, without any sound when walking, Kang Yan's heart moved, the identity of this old lady is not simple.

"Wait a minute," the old lady suddenly shouted, "Bichun, bring that pot of canna and I'll take a look." ”

Bichun is the little maid who took the flowers and perfume from Kang Yan just now.

This is a two-color mandarin duck canna, the same branch of the flower stem blooms with two colors of red and bright yellow, more special is the petals red and yellow half, the same plant is different shades, the red petals are dotted with bright yellow stars, the bright yellow petals are decorated with bright red spots, the two colors complement each other, extremely good-looking.

Although the two-color mandarin duck canna is not rare, it is not rare, especially if it is so good, this pot was originally intended to be placed in the flower shop for visitors to enjoy, but I didn't expect Qiao Danhua to bring it out.

This is also the reason why Kang Yan was a little surprised to see the canna in Qiao Danhua's hand just now, but it has already been served, and she is not good to let Jordan Hua change another pot, not to mention that this flower is not unique, she still has two pots at home.

"There is yellow in red, red in yellow, it is gentle but it turns a thousand times, little girl, this pot of two-color mandarin duck canna is you raising yourself?" The old lady looked at the canna in Bichun's hand for a moment before she looked up and asked Kang Yan.

Kang Yan found that when she looked at the canna just now, her eyes were bright, and the twilight in her eyes dissipated a lot, and she seemed to be a person who really understood flowers and liked flowers.

"I raised it myself." She nodded.

"It's okay." The old lady's hand gently stroked the canna, and the look on her face was a little stunned.

Jordan Hua was stunned when he heard it, Mom, is this okay? In her opinion, Kang Yan has raised this flower very, very perfectly, how did this old lady get a good review?

Who is she, does she know how to raise flowers? She felt a little upset for Kang Yan in her heart.

Qiao Danhua's temper has always been straightforward, and he didn't hold back when he thought about it, "I think this pot of flowers raised by Ah Yan is excellent, at least I haven't seen a better canna." ”

The housekeeper mother behind the old lady frowned, and was dissatisfied with the implied dissatisfaction in Jordan's words, "Presumptuous, our family........ Our old lady has seen more flowers than you have eaten, and your little girl's family has only seen many flowers, so she dares not to be convinced by our old lady's evaluation. ”

What a big breath, Jordan Hua was not surprised that they recognized her as a woman, and she didn't pretend to be particularly disguised this time, but the people around this old lady were too angry.

Qiao Danhua opened her mouth and wanted to argue again, but Kang Yan shook her head and stopped her, "It seems that the old lady is also good at raising flowers, please give me advice." ”

The housekeeper's mother was more satisfied with Kang Yan's modest tone, "This is what it looks like to ask for advice, our old lady is ........."

"Mother Song." The old lady spoke lightly, her voice indifferent but with a majesty.

Mother Song couldn't help shrinking her neck, and the rest of the words were choked in her stomach, she was a little forgetful just now, her master didn't like to talk about this.

She also saw that her master had been silent for too long, and she was so easy to be willing to talk to these two little girls today, and she said a few more words when she was excited.

The master is only willing to say a few more words when he sees the flowers.

The old lady stared at the soil in the pot, "The soil in this pot is not fertile enough, if you use sandy soil, the flowers will bloom better than now, and the girl should not use cold water to water the flowers, if it is warm water, the flowering period will be longer." ”

Kang Yan's eyes lit up, and she also knew that it was better to raise canna with sand, but the soil here in Macheng Mansion was mostly clay, and sand was not common, so she had to use clay, and then use nutrient solution to make this pot of canna bloom.

As for the water used to water the flowers, Kang Yeon smiled and frowned invisibly, she really didn't pay attention to this, does the temperature of the water used to water the flowers affect the flowering period? Looking at the old lady's faint expression, but looking at the canna's eyes but very focused, Kang Yan intuitively felt that this old lady would not lie to her.

She saluted solemnly, "Kang Yan thanks the old lady for her advice." ”

The old lady nodded absently, she wanted Bi Chun to take the flowers down, but when her eyes touched the soil in the flower pot, her nose moved slightly, this is?

Her eyes were first uncertain, then surprised, "This flower uses nutrient solution?" Although it was a question, his tone was quite determined, "Little girl, do you know how to prepare nutrient solution?" Where did you learn it? ”

The latter sentence the old lady asked a little eagerly, as if she wanted to make sure of something.

Although Kang Yan was surprised, she still answered her question, "I played with it myself, and I don't know if it worked?" ”

Mismatched by yourself? The old lady was suspicious, "Canna likes heat and hates cold, the hotter the weather, the better it blooms, it's only March now, although the weather in the south is warm, but it hasn't reached the time when the canna is in full bloom, your two-color mandarin duck is so good, it can be seen that it is the credit of your nutrient solution." ”

Kang Yan naturally knew that it was the credit of the nutrient solution she prepared, and what she said just now was just self-humility.

Qiao Danhua, who felt that Kang Yan was a little too modest, nodded after listening to the old lady's words, the old lady's eyes were very sharp, "Ayan, don't be too modest, I see that the nutrient solution you have is very good." ”

It's not even a nutrient solution? The light in the old lady's eyes flashed, overshadowing the twilight in her original eyes, making her whole person look a lot more energetic.

"If it is a pot of magnolia flowers, the edges of the leaves are scorched, the leaves appear brown spots, dry tips, and fall off, and the flowers are thin and fragrant, what nutrient solution will you use to condition it? Or without nutrient solution, in what way? The old lady was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked.

Is this going to test her? Kang Yeon was a little stunned, or was she just a question? Seeing her look so determined when she talks about flowers, she should know how to raise flowers very well, how can she ask her questions.

But it doesn't make sense if she is tested, they meet in Pingshui, for no reason, how can they test her?

Although she was very puzzled, Kang Yan's mind was still thinking quickly about the answer.

Magnolia flowers like warmth, humidity, drought tolerance, like to grow in shady slopes and humid valleys, the edges of the leaves are scorched, falling off should be a problem of watering, this is good conditioning, but the flowers are thin and fragrant, what is the reason for this?

Kang Yan lowered her head and thought seriously, and after a moment, she finally had an answer. rs
