Chapter 15: Enjoying the 'Flowers'
At the back door of Baifu, Xiao Zhao jumped down from an ox cart, and he pushed open the door in the backyard and shouted at the gatekeeper
"Go get someone to help move the flowers"
The little guy stretched out his head and looked out, the whole ox cart was full of flowers, although he didn't quite understand what he was going to do, he still obediently went to call people, and after a while, more than a dozen little guys came,
"Come and help, move these flowers to the yard of the second lady" Xiao Zhao and the shopkeeper who drove the ox cart moved down one pot after another next to the car, and when they heard the call, the little guys rushed up to help, and a few of them grew up in Baifu since childhood, and they were familiar with Xiao Zhao, so they joked with him
"Bai Zhaozhao, you buy so many flowers, do you want to attract bees and butterflies?" The others laughed when they heard it, and Xiao Zhao didn't get angry when he heard it, but only replied
"Don't talk nonsense, this is what Miss ordered" The others quickly stopped talking when they heard this, and hurriedly got busy, only one of them seemed to be new and was still smirking.
The slaves also gossip about their masters from time to time, but these two young ladies are something that none of them dare to offend.
Xiao Zhao took the little guys to run three times before they finished moving, and they were all piled up on the edge of the courtyard wall of the openwork, and after a little adjustment, Xiao Zhao called out the young lady to see
"Miss, you see, I picked the best flowers and plants"
Qianqian walked out of the door and saw the green plants under the wall, there are flowers and grasses colorful, put in front of the openwork, not to mention that it is really good-looking, she walked to the front, the more she looked, the more satisfied, and praised a small trick
"It's worthy of following Miss Ben for two years, I have ideas!"
Xiao Zhao listened to the compliment, smiled a little embarrassed on his face, and thought, where is this praising me?
"I've decided, put a table here, I'm going to invite my father and brother to come to enjoy the flowers later, by the way, just eat dinner with me" The more he talked, the happier he became, and he turned to Bai Shao to arrange things.
Bai Yanfei was checking the accounts in his pawnshop, and when he looked up, the shopkeeper came in with an ancient painting in his hand, his face was full of joy, he put the account book in his hand, and looked at him with some expectant eyes
"What good things did you receive? Worthy of the shopkeeper's happiness to be like this? ”
The tone of the shopkeeper's voice was full of excitement,
"Big young master, give me the palm eye, this is a good thing" said, the little guy behind him cleared the long table on the side, the shopkeeper gently put the painting on the table, unfolded it little by little, Bai Yanfei got up and came to the table, half of the painting was exhibited, the expression on his face immediately changed, and as soon as he stretched out his hand back, the little guy handed over a transparent sequin the size of a teacup, attached to the table and observed carefully.
The shopkeeper saw that he was so meticulous, and added another sentence
"Master Da, this painting is a dead deal!"
Half a pillar of incense took time to straighten up, gasped, and didn't say anything, just kept nodding.
The shopkeeper saw his expression and couldn't close his mouth with joy.
He gently rolled up the painting, held it in both hands, raised his legs and walked out, and said to the accompanying servant when he reached the door
"Tell the eldest young master of the Zhang family, say that I have something important to discuss, and let him come to Baifu to find me"
"Yes, big young master," the little guy ran towards Zhang's house after speaking, and Bai Yanfei got into the carriage.
As soon as he entered the gate of the White Mansion, the maid in the Qianqian Courtyard was guarding the door, and when he saw that he was back, he greeted him and saluted
"I've seen the eldest young master, the slave and maid Bai Yan, who is in the courtyard of the second lady."
He was in a hurry, and he stopped when he heard that it was from the little sister's yard
"But something happened to the little sister"
"Back to the eldest young master, no, our young lady invites you and the master to come to the courtyard for dinner, saying that they want to enjoy the flowers."
"Hehe, this girl and I really have a heart, and I want to appreciate the 'painting'? Okay, tell her I'm going to go," and walked into his yard
The eldest young master of the Zhang family listened to the words of the little maid, and immediately ordered someone to set up a carriage and go out, and soon rushed to Baifu and directly entered Bai Yanfei's study
"Brother Bai, you are in such a hurry to call me here, but there are treasures?"
He had been looking down at the painting, and when he heard the voice, he suddenly looked up,
"Zichen is coming, I just received it today"
The eldest young master of the Zhang family looked at him with an excited look on his face, and said with a slight sneer
"I'm here to see what kind of masterpiece is worthy of Brother Bai's pleasure" said and walked over, took the tools in his hand, just leaned over, and in an instant, the expression on his face disappeared, he looked back at Bai Yanfei, who was still full of excitement, straightened up, and clenched his fists with both hands,
"Congratulations to Brother Bai, you have found a peerless masterpiece" Bai Yanfei returned with an irrepressible smile
