234 Significance of Chrysanthemums
Shen Tuantuan stood at the gate of the courtyard, and as soon as he put down his bold words, he saw a person appear around the corner, Ning Nanxing carried a basket on his back, passed the door without entering, and came to the Shen family.
"Why did you come back so early today?"
Shen Tuantuan helped Ning Nanxing unload the big back basket behind him, "Where is this?" β
"Go to Jinji Mountain, go to the mountains to make luck, and see if you can find rare medicinal materials." Ning Nanxing said casually, but his eyes were aimed at the ground, and he never left Shen Tuantuan's side. Shen Tuantuan just helped Ning Nanxing unload the basket, and Shen Tuantuan was not at all interested in the herbs in Ning Nanxing's basket.
Shen Tuantuan was busy in and out of the hall, carefully placing the small set of tea sets in the wooden basin and soaking, feeling Ning Nanxing's gaze, Shen Tuantuan thought that Ning Nanxing was also thirsty. "Want to drink tea? There was still tea in the teapot, and Xu Enling's little Nizi Niu drank most of the pot.
Speaking of which, Shen Tuantuan actually doesn't like to drink tea, the tea is slightly bitter, and it can also refresh herself, but she is not used to drinking it, but she is still not very keen on drinking tea, if she is allowed to choose, she would rather drink some sweet soup. Shen Tuantuan tried to make fun of herself, she drank tea to be vassal. The point is to pretend to be like that.
"No, I'm not thirsty. The spring water in the mountains is sweet. After Ning Nanxing finished speaking, his eyes still revolved around Shen Tuantuan.
Shen Tuantuan couldn't, and after leaving the teapot to dry, he asked, "Say, what is there to hide from me?" β
Ning Nanxing's eyes were erratic, "How can there be something to hide from you-how can I have something to hide from you, you think too much, I just-just look at you." β
Ning Nanxing didn't say it, and Shen Tuantuan also knew that he couldn't ask, so he would say it if he wanted to. Ning Nanxing's temperament, Shen Tuantuan is very clear, if she doesn't ask, Ning Nanxing will be embarrassed again. Sure enough, after Shen Tuantuan went to do things on his own, Ning Nanxing couldn't stay idle.
"Tuan Tuan, aren't you curious about what's in my back basket?"
Shen Tuan didn't raise his head, and said, "I'm not curious." β
Ning Nanxing scratched his hair, "Why aren't you curious, I think you often turn over Shen Changzhi's back basket." How can you not be curious about my back basket! β
Shen Tuantuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, stood up, and faced Ning Nanxing, trying his best to make himself look serious. "My brother is coming back from Jiangxia City, and I look through what he has bought, isn't it normal? If you buy meat, take it out so that it doesn't spoil it. But your-"
Ning Nanxing looked at Shen Tuantuan eagerly in his eyes, wanting to listen to Shen Tuantuan continue, all about him, Ning Nanxing wanted to know what Shen Tuantuan thought. "How's mine?"
"It's not like I haven't noticed, you don't put anything else in your basket except for medicinal herbs. Every time you go to Jiangxia City, you come back with a basket of medicinal materials, I don't know any medicinal materials, what can I be curious about? β
"Otherwise, I'll teach you how to identify medicinal herbs?"
Shen Tuantuan shook his head hurriedly, "Don't, Ning Nanxing, you must not have such an idea, I don't want to be your little medicine boy, you see I actually have a lot of things to do." So, it's really weak. β
Ning Nanxing also knew that Shen Tuantuan was very busy, even with the help of Mrs. Xiao, he took over most of the things that Shen Tuantuan did, but Shen Tuantuan tossed out the stubble of the book again, looking at Shen Tuantuan's more serious strength, it seems that it is really more real than the book, and the first book has not yet replied, so he has already started to work on the second book. Listening to Shen Tuantuan muttering to himself, he recently wrote and drew on paper, saying that he was making an outline.
Outline? I guess it's the same meaning as the outline, right?
Although it looks quite decent, Ning Nanxing didn't think that Shen Tuantuan would have the talent to write a book, after all, whoever let Shen Tuantuan look at it on weekdays would not be enlightened, he had been guarding it for so many years, if it weren't for the stimulation of separation, Shen Tuantuan estimated that there would be no response at all.
Just like now, the two of them have determined each other's intentions, but Shen Tuantuan is still the same as before to him. The two of them are just pulling small hands, that's all.
"Isn't it nice that two people are working together and can see you when you look up?" Ning Nanxing muttered quietly, but he also knew that Shen Tuantuan didn't like it, so he didn't force it, but just wanted to have a good time.
Ning Nanxing took Shen Tuantuan's arm, brought the person back to the courtyard, and said awkwardly, "Look at what is in my back basket!" β
"What are you doing? Isn't it just herbs? I haven't seen it less! Shen Tuantuan knew that if he didn't look at it, Ning Nanxing would always be crooked.
"Open it up and see for yourself."
The bamboo basket was covered with a gray cloth, and nothing could be seen inside.
Shen Tuantuan carefully pinched the corner of the gray cloth head.
"Open it quickly, what are you doing so carefully, can I still hurt you?"
Shen Tuantuan pinched the cloth head, and when he lifted it, he saw Huang Yanyan's ball.
Shen Tuantuan asked almost instinctively, "What is this?" β
Ning Nanxing's ears had a suspicious flush, and seeing that Shen Tuantuan was still knowingly asking, he couldn't help but stiffen his neck and said, "What is this, can't you see it?" Do you have a bad eye? β
Shen Tuantuan: ...... Why are you so excited?
"I mean, what do so many chrysanthemums do? Do you need chrysanthemums as medicine? β
Ning Nanxing's face was not good, and he took the chrysanthemum out of the basket in one go, although the action was very big, but when he touched the chrysanthemum, he was still cautious, and after holding it out, he stuffed it to Shen Tuantuan, leaving Shen Tuantuan alone to hug the chrysanthemum in his arms, stunned......
"This is for me? Chrysanthemum? Ning Nanxing, could you be mistaken? Shen Tuantuan swallowed his saliva and said with some difficulty.
"Is there anyone else here?! It's not uncommon to throw it away. Ning Nanxing said awkwardly, picking up the basket and leaving.
Shen Tuantuan never thought that in her lifetime, when she was alive, she would receive a large handful of chrysanthemums!
If he hadn't known that the person who sent the flowers was Ning Nanxing, Shen Tuantuan would probably have started to scold.
"Brother Nanxing-" Shen Tuantuan looked at Ning Nanxing's state that could run wild at any time, and decided that it was more important to stabilize Ning Nanxing.
Ning Nanxing said "um" unhappily, which was a response.
"This chrysanthemumβcan you give it away?" Shen Tuantuan asked cautiously.
Ning Nanxing had a cold face, "If you don't like it, throw it away!" Where did so much nonsense come from. After speaking, he looked at the bamboo basket with one hand and strode out of the yard.
Shen Tuantuan watched Ning Nanxing go out in a daze, she wasn't angry yet, why, Ning Nanxing left angrily!
When Shen Changzhi came back, he saw Shen Tuantuan standing in the courtyard with a chrysanthemum in his arms, and Shen Changzhi snorted a few times unceremoniously, "Hmph, show affection." β
Shen Tuantuan saw that Shen Changzhi was back, so he moved his arm that was holding a little sore, "Brother, don't you think there's a problem with this?" β
"Absolutely!"
Shen Tuantuan breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, she was not the only one who felt that there was a problem, "That's right, I'll just say there's a problem!" β
"It's not just a problem, it's a big problem! You all have no family affairs to decide, so blatantly send flowers, is this good! Shen Chang sobbed and accused bloody.
Shen Tuantuan was stunned, "Brother, shouldn't you open your eyes first, what are these words?" Chrysanthemum yes! β
Shen Changzhi covered his chest, as if he had been greatly injured! "I'm not blind, I know it's a chrysanthemum."
"Send me a chrysanthemum, no problem?" Shen Tuantuan asked cautiously.
Shen Changzhi almost didn't foam at the mouth, "There is a problem, how can there be no problem!" Ning Nanxing, that big blind man, how could he give you chrysanthemums, at best, he could only give you dog tail grass, or small wildflowers. Chrysanthemums are also given! β
Shen Tuantuan wanted to pluck out his ears, but he couldn't spare his hands. How did she seem to hear from Shen Changzhi's words that she didn't seem to be worthy of chrysanthemums?
"That brother, this chrysanthemum, isn't it sent to the dead?"
Shen Changzhi looked at Shen Tuantuan in horror, "Who told you?" Chrysanthemum symbolizes auspiciousness and longevity, symbolizes integrity, symbolizes nobility, symbolizes heaven, and symbolizes hermit! With so many metaphors, Ning Nanxing has a pit in his brain, so he will think of sending you chrysanthemums! If you want me to say dog tail grass, I'm right! β
Shen Tuantuan's eyes widened, was she mistaken?
Shen Changzhi seemed to have discovered something amazing, "I don't know, it's really embarrassing for me." β
Shen Changzhi raised his throat clearly, and only then popularized it to Shen Tuantuan, "Chrysanthemum is one of the four gentlemen in the flower, and it has always been regarded as a lonely standard. The symbol of elegance and arrogance represents the gentleness and pride of Baume & Mercier. Ordinary people are not worthy of chrysanthemums. Therefore, Ning Nanxing must be blind, so he will give you chrysanthemums! It's really in the eyes of a lover! β
Shen Changzhi shook his head and went back to the house.
Mrs. Xiao had already listened to it in the stove room, and when she came out of the stove room, she also whispered rarely, "The little lady misunderstood Young Master Ning, this chrysanthemum is a good thing." β
"Did I misunderstand?" Shen Tuantuan only thought about his previous life, and when he visited the deceased, he was used to bringing a bouquet of chrysanthemums. Which Cheng thought that in ancient times, the meaning of this chrysanthemum was so rich, so rich that she couldn't match it!
Mrs. Xiao nodded, "I'll help my little lady put up the flowers." It's the Double Ninth Festival in a few days, and Young Master Ning has a heart. This wild chrysanthemum is really rare. β
Shen Tuantuan's face was even more unbearable, it was all ignorance that caused trouble!
Thinking that Ning Nanxing was angry and left, Shen Tuantuan couldn't help but have a headache even more, this was to coax people.
"Then bother Granny Xiao to help me put up the flowers, I'll go find Brother Nanxing."
Mrs. Xiao responded, "Okay." β
When Shen Tuantuan ran to the courtyard of the Ning family, he saw that the courtyard door was locked, if Shen Tuantuan hadn't seen the bamboo basket with chrysanthemums in the yard, Shen Tuantuan would have thought that Ning Nanxing had gone out.
Shen Tuantuan shouted a few times, but Ning Nanxing didn't come out to open the door.
"Hmph, it's so big."
Shen Tuantuan thought about it, pulled out a few fence walls with his bare hands, and got into it sideways. After getting in, I put the fence back in......
