Chapter 177: Peony
When Man Yun saw her, her eyes turned red, and she looked like she was not afraid just now.
"There is a peony over there, they said it was a masterpiece, but the bud was somehow broken, and the third sister and I have been playing here, and we haven't gone at all."
"The maids all say it's you, and you can tell lies at such a young age, do you know how precious this flower is? If you can't afford it, don't move forward. ”
Qing Niang recognized that the one who did not give up was Situ Zhen,
"This young lady, we sisters are together, we have been playing by the pond, your maid is afraid that she is mistaken, we really didn't walk over there." Manfu explained vigorously.
"What kind of flower is broken? Wei Zi or Yao Huang? Don't say my sister hasn't touched it, even if it is broken, it is not intentional, it's just a pot of peonies, what's so strange?
Ah Shuang, you go back to the house and move two pots, well, just that pot of mutated Yao Huang and Dou Lu, it should be no worse than her family, count me as a congratulatory gift to Lan'er's sister. ”
As soon as her words fell, the people around her were stunned, especially Situ Zhen, who opened his mouth wide, Yao Huang was already terrible, and there were mutations? Just now, her maid accidentally slipped her foot and broke the flower, but she was happy to rely on the Su family.
Who told Su Manqing to be good with that slut, I didn't expect the Su family to be so rich?
"Do you recognize Yao Huang? Don't take a wildflower to count them. Situ Zhen reluctantly followed again, and Qing Niang was about to refute, when suddenly, a little girl in a yellow shirt said in a crisp voice:
"That flower was broken by the maid next to you, and I almost fell at that time, and a few of us saw it, why do you have to rely on this sister?"
"Yes, you can tell me, as a host, you dare to blatantly slander your guests! Pushing your mistakes on your children, besides, even if the guests touch it, you can't do it, how do you usually teach you? Where did all the upbringing go? ”
Qing Niang looked up, it was Princess Ding who spoke, she looked very good today, and her face was slightly angry at this time.
The girls hurriedly saluted her, she first touched Manyun's head, and then said to Qing Niang:
"You are Minghui, I always heard our Lan'er mention it, and I haven't had a chance to see her, this girl hasn't taught her well, apologize for her, and let her go to the house to apologize another day!"
"The princess is serious, she may also be deceived by the maid, just say it, do you like peonies very much? It just so happens that I have some of them, and I used them to grow and play. ”
She didn't say much, the peonies that were collected into the space back then had already been connected into pieces, and the flowers that bloomed were of any color, most of them were gradual, and they were the best when they were taken outside.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Ah Shuang's face was not red and she came back without panting, and the two pots of flowers in her hand made everyone's eyeballs fall out.
One pot is flaming red with gold edges, the flowers are delicate, and the other pot is tender green, like a butterfly with a shallow pattern, the petals are delicate and clear, and it is beautiful.
"Girl, where do I put it?" This is placed casually under the eaves of their house, these people have really never seen the world, and their saliva is about to drip down, Ah Shuang is discussing in her heart, and the princess is the first to wake up.
"This is unacceptable, it's too precious, we can't take it! Put it away, but don't touch it. ”
She just listened to Qing Niang's words, thinking that there are many varieties of peonies, the best is rare, since people sent it, just accept it, and then return a gift, this is originally a granddaughter's, I didn't think about it, it turned out to be this kind of treasure!
"It's okay, you see which one is appropriate, one pot is filial to you, and the other is for Sister Lan'er." Since you have moved here, how can you bring it back, Ah Shuang's physical strength doesn't need money.
At this time, Situ Lan also came, she had already heard the maid tell her the ins and outs, and she was angry in her heart, and after listening to Qing Niang's words, she knew that she was sincere in sending it, so she came out to persuade her grandmother to accept it.
"My sister sent it sincerely, grandmother doesn't have to be too polite, you still don't take it, be careful this time, and no one will let you rely on it if you break it again."
Situ Zhen's face was flushed, and in embarrassment, a few mothers-in-law came over and asked for instructions on setting up the meal.
"Just put it as promised, put it in the garden first, it's all the girl's house, and you can't eat cold dishes." Today, the elders don't come much, so I don't eat with them.
Sending off the princess, the ladies also relaxed, many people surrounded the two peonies, and they were amazed, Manfu ran to say thank you to a girl, just now she was talking for Manyun, and Qingniang also looked over.
"She is the youngest daughter of Dali Siqing, named Liu Ziyuan, she is a very good person, and we often come and go." Lan'er introduced her to her, and Qingniang suddenly remembered that when she went to the green on March 3, she seemed to have seen this person, when their family was sitting not far away, and her sister-in-law had come to greet her grandmother.
"Sister, I remembered you at a glance that day, but unfortunately, you didn't even look at me."
Liu Ziyuan was very impressed by Manfu, in addition to being beautiful, but also because of her brother's attention, she inexplicably had a good impression of Manfu.
The more the two talked, the hotter it became, and Qing Niang also came over to thank her.
"I saw that you like peonies very much just now, and when you go back, I will ask someone to send you two pots, what color do you like?"
Ziyuan hurriedly excused herself, how dare she accept such a precious flower,
"The gardener in my house is very good at getting this, it is precious elsewhere, but it is nothing in my house, you and Fu'er are good, and it should be given to you."
Ziyuan shyly replied that he liked the color, and introduced his sister to Manfu, and sat together during the meal, as if they were very good friends.
In addition to Manfu, the other girls of the Su family were with Qingniang, and during the banquet, Manzhi quietly asked Qingniang:
"Is this peony cultivated by the eldest sister? We didn't see it when we went to Liyuxuan, it's so beautiful. ”
"Do you like it? I'll send you a few pots back, but don't feed them to death. ”
"Can I go to Grandpa Yang's house in the future? If we're bored, can we go to the eldest sister? Anyway, it's all family, and my grandmother won't object. ”
"Okay, call someone before you come, I'll go out sometimes." Listening to Qing Niang's words, Manzhi was a little surprised, and when she thought that she still had to take care of the shop, she nodded and said okay.
Although there was a little bit of a situation on this trip to Dingwangfu, on the whole, everyone was happy, and even Man Ying had a smile on her face.
The little sisters comforted her, saying that they were fortunate to have withdrawn from their relatives, and according to rumors in the market, Gu Baoqi had difficulty walking.
Back in Ronghuatang, Du Shi heard that there was such a precious peony, and he actually gave it away, and he was angry and launched a rush on the spot.
"Do you know how much silver that peony costs? Just gave it away so easily? You're too loser, aren't you? ”
"Mother said this, I don't have a flower and grass shop, how do I know how much silver it can sell? It's just that it was cultivated by the gardeners in the house, and it was not bought from outside. ”
Looking at her careless appearance, Du Shi was speechless for a long time, she was stretched thin here, if those two pots of flowers were sold, at least a thousand taels of silver.
