Chapter 592: Vulgar and Elegant
The county lord of Anya exclaimed softly and said, "Warm house? Is it your legendary glass conservatory? ”
"What legend?" Gu Ye was amused by her, "Isn't there a warm house in every family?" ”
"But I haven't heard of a second one for those who are willing to build a greenhouse with glass, except for yours. Besides, like our small family, it is good to be able to buy a piece of glass, how dare you think that a house is made of glass? Lord Anya deliberately said with an exaggerated expression.
The ladies who didn't go to the banquet of Liuquan Villa last time heard about the "glass conservatory" for the first time, and their eyes widened. The boudoir of Princess Heyang, the most favored princess in the palace, uses glass instead of window paper, which is luxurious enough to make people enviable, and Zhen Guogong actually used glass to build a house for his daughter who just got back - what an exaggeration!
A lady snorted and laughed, and said to the county lord of Anya: "If your Qingwang Mansion is a small family again, then we are all Pengmen households!" ”
The one who spoke was the girl from the Guozi Priest Restaurant, and the only girl in the Jun family's branch, Gu Ye's cousin Jun Shanshan's sister-in-law-Mo Yunong. She is right, if the prince's house is worth a small family, how can other people's families live?
Gu Ye glared at the county lord of Anya and said with a smile: "Sisters, don't listen to her!" What goes into her mouth is an exaggeration! ”
However, when it came to the greenhouse, in the eyes of the ladies, the county lord of Anya did not exaggerate at all. The conservatory is the size of five rooms, and the main frame is made of steel bars, while the rest is made of large blocks of transparent glass. If you ignore the frames, the whole house is transparent and crystalline, shimmering in the sunlight......
A lady exclaimed in a low voice: "I thought that the windows were inlaid with glass, which was bright enough." This glass conservatory is indeed all made of glass. It is estimated that only the Crystal Palace of the Dragon King of the East China Sea can be compared to it, right? ”
"Isn't it extravagant? This piece of glass alone costs thousands of taels of silver, and this greenhouse can't be built without hundreds of thousands of taels! When did you become so rich in the Zhenguo Mansion? The county lord of Suining also came, looking at this conservatory, his eyes flashed with jealousy.
The county lord of Anya couldn't listen anymore: "Suining, what do you mean?" Alluding to the unknown origin of Zhen Guogong's money? When Liuquan Villa, didn't Sister Ye'er say it? This conservatory was built for free by the owner of the glass workshop to thank her sister for saving her life. Not a single one was spent! You can't envy this, who made Sister Ye'er so capable? ”
Mo Yu said softly: "Compared to life, what is a glass conservatory?" The county lord is right, Sister Ye'er's greenhouse, she earned it back by herself with her outstanding medical skills and pharmaceutical skills. If you are envious, it is too late to go back to learn pharmacy now! ”
The county lord of Suining was upset by the two of them, and snorted coldly: "Who is rare!" In her opinion, pharmacists are highly respected in the eyes of the world, but their social status is still behind the peasants. There are so many ladies in Beijing, I haven't seen anyone willing to fall to study medicine and medicine!
In the greenhouse, there are paths paved with bluestone slabs. The ladies were in the winter when everything was slaughtered, and when they saw the green plants on the ground, they felt that they were in a state of flux.
"Miss Ye'er, what kind of flowers are these?" Nangong Jing stroked the green leaves of a spinach tree and asked softly. The other ladies were also full of curiosity.
Gu Ye said a little embarrassedly: "Uh...... The land is full of out-of-season vegetables. In the hands of Miss Nangong is a small spinach, which has a unique flavor when making soup and cold seasoning. Hehe......"
Nangong Jing withdrew her hand as if she was being scalded by hot water. may feel that he has made a fool of himself in front of the ladies, and an uncomfortable expression appears on his face.
Lin Ruohan said understandingly: "Sister Ye'er is really unique. Who would have thought that vegetables would be grown in such a valuable glass conservatory. Don't talk about Miss Nangong, even I have been deceived! ”
"Sister Lin, Hugh wants to laugh at me! When the snow falls, and you can only nibble on turnips, cabbage and potatoes every day, you should praise me for being prescient! Gu Ye easily pulled a weed out of the vegetables and threw it on the ground.
The ladies have tasted the taste of the lack of vegetables in winter, and imagine how refreshing and comfortable it would be to have a plate of green spinach in winter! It's not that the girl Chu is vulgar, people eat grains, who can avoid vulgarity?
"Sisters, guess what it is?" Gu Ye pointed to a vine and asked with a slight expression.
These noble ladies are beautiful, they are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and grains, where can they tell what is what? Yuan Haiqing pushed Gu Ye for a moment, and said with a smile: "Don't sell Guanzi, is it a vegetable or a herb?" Looking at this form, it can't be a flower, right? ”
Gu Ye said mysteriously: "This is the melon we eat in summer!" Think about it, during the Chinese New Year, sitting in the room where the earth dragon is burning, eating the cold and sweet melon, what is the feeling? ”
"Don't be shy! Watch out for them coming to rob you! Lin Ruohan smiled and pointed to the county lord Anya and Yuan Haiqing, who were glowing with a ghostly light.
Yuan Haiqing jumped over, locked Gu Ye's neck with his arm, and said with a smile: "Rob the rich and help the poor!" Divide me a few melons when the time comes! ”
"And me, and me!!" Not to be outdone, Lord Anya raised his hand high. Although the county lord of Shunrou and Mo Yunong did not say it explicitly, the expressions on their faces already showed everything.
Gu Ye said with a sad face: "There are not a few melons planted in total, and you have robbed them, so I can only gnaw on the melon seedlings...... You can only have two melons per person, no more! ”
She was talking about everyone, and several ladies who had met her for the first time and were not very familiar with each other glanced at each other. This "everyone" should include all the people here, right?
"What can't be more? Wow, you're all hiding here, no wonder you don't see anyone in the Little Flower Hall! Shangguan Fei'er's hearty voice came.
The bitterness on Gu Ye's face deepened: "Sister Scarlet, you came at such a good time!" ”
"What's wrong? Not welcome me? Then I'll go......" Shangguan Fei'er pretended to turn around and leave.
Yuan Haiqing grabbed her and said with a smile: "Sister Ye'er is feeling sorry for her melon!" She planted some melons in this glass conservatory, and she just showed off to the outside, and was robbed by us, and she was distressed! ”
"It's better to come early than to come at the right time! Looks like I'm pretty lucky! Where's the melon? Bring me a taste of sweetness, is it sweet? Shangguan Fei'er hurried over, and her eyes were looking for melons everywhere in the greenhouse.
Yuan Haiqing pointed to the small melon seedlings on the ground, and smiled backwards: "Here!" Sister Ye'er said that the fruit can only mature around the New Year, and now it can't be tasted! ”
"Hey! You guys are talking hilarious, I thought there was a melon to eat today...... Oops hey! This champion red blooms so beautifully. This is...... Eighteen bachelors? I have never seen this pot of scarlet claw hibiscus in such a good condition. This season, it's really rare to see camellia flowers blooming so brightly! Shangguan Fei'er likes camellias, and she was attracted by the camellia on the flower shelves on both sides of the greenhouse.
Not only camellias, but also blooming or budding peonies, elegant and moving orchids, attracting the little girls to stop and watch.
"Wei Zi, Yao Huang, Zhao Fan...... Miss Chu actually got so many precious varieties. But what's even more surprising is that you can see the flowers blooming in full bloom in winter. A lady couldn't help but sigh.
She really made the trip today. Not only did you see the unique glass conservatory, but you also saw the flowers that can only be seen in spring. It's worth it!
"This pot is 'Suguan Heding', right? I heard my mother say that this pot of orchid grass is a new product that Miss Chu found for the Duchess of Zhenguo. "Miss Su of the Taifu family loves orchid grass the most, and she stopped in front of Suguan Heding and was reluctant to leave.
"Sister Su, there is still Qionglan here! Such a precious orchid grass, there are actually two pots on the Zhenguo Mansion! The lady who has the same hobbies as her can't help but be a little envious.
"Qionglan is the most difficult to raise. I looked at this basin, as if it had been divided from another! In the Zhenguo Mansion, there must be a great gardener, who can successfully divide Qionglan into pots and raise it so well, it is really enviable! Miss Su sniffed the fragrance of Qionglan gently, and there was nothing else in her eyes except bluegrass.
Gu Ye felt that it was a bit rude to let everyone stand here and enjoy the orchid, so he smiled and said: "If you like it, you can choose the flowers you like, pick the hairpin and put it on your head......
"No, you can't! Rare flowers and plants, how can you be allowed to defile them at will? Shangguan Fei'er shouted, protecting the camellia behind her, with a posture that whoever dared to pick it would break anyone's claws.
Gu Ye quickly picked the most colorful one from the Scarlet Claw Hibiscus, put it next to Shangguan Scarlet'er's sideburns, and said with a smile: "Look, there are several flowers in this pot, and it is nothing if there is one less." Sister Fei'er is really more beautiful than flowers! ”
Shangguan Fei'er trembled in distress. A pot of scarlet claw hibiscus, a treasure like this in excellent condition, can't be taken down for a thousand taels of silver each. In her heart, these treasured camellias cannot be measured by money. Picking a flower is like ripping off a piece of her flesh!
Shangguan Fei'er pointed at Gu Ye and kept saying that she was "tyrannical and ruined". The other little girls were also reluctant to take off this rare flower that bloomed in winter and put it on their heads.
Gu Ye said: "This flower, even if we don't pick it, it will wither in only three or five days." Being able to decorate the faces of your sisters can be regarded as realizing their value. What's not to be willing to give? ”
Although she said so, she still didn't do anything. It's not that they can't bear to pick flowers, but in fact, the most suitable flower for hairpins in the hair is the camellia - the peony flower is too big, and the flower is not seen when you wear it on your head, which is too noisy. The orchid is too small and light-colored in color, which is not very suitable for hairpins in the hair.
