Chapter 101: Gift of Peony
Updated: 2013-08-01
Lu Mengjian was resting in the room, thinking about how to get through the power in Pulan City, thinking about it but having no clue, so he closed his eyes and listened to the sound in the 'flower' shop, and saw that someone was playing tricks in the store, and became more and more irritable, but when he heard the words that You Ziqi asked, his eyes suddenly lit up.
I only heard Fang Yuan smile bitterly, "Isn't Childe embarrassed, Fang Mou is just a small shopkeeper, he only knows some face-to-face business, as for this wealth and grass, I really don't know ...... below."
You Ziqi was overjoyed, and the smile on his face was even stronger, although he hadn't thought about what conditions to promise, but the future was long, not to mention that the owner of this 'flower' shop seemed to be familiar with that girl, so he had to think about it carefully.
This was just 'lewd' and happy, but he heard Shuangdian pouting and snorted, "Of course you ask Uncle Fang about this, but our owner is a master of raising 'flowers', and there is nothing in this world that she doesn't know!" ”
Fang Yuan waved his hand to scold Shuangdian, but he saw Shuangdian squeezing his eyes in the direction of the inner room, the curtain shook for a while, Shuangdian took the opportunity to rub in front of Fang Yuan, and whispered in his ear, "Madame nodded at me just now!" ”
"You kid is fooling around!" Fang Yuan blinked knowingly, but his face became very serious, and he reprimanded in a low voice, "It's really lazy donkey grinding, come back soon after dealing with it, you know that you are lazy every day!" Go and come back quickly! ”
Shuangdian hugged his stomach and ran all the way inside, Fang Yuan had already changed his smiling face, and bent slightly towards You Ziqi, "The young guy in this store has a bad stomach, I'm really sorry for the guest officer, you keep watching, keep watching." ”
"Don't mind, the shopkeeper I said just now hasn't answered yet," You Ziqi was determined to fight to the end, how could Fang Yuan be sloppy, he still looked at Fang Yuan firmly, no matter what, he won this bet.
"Well, don't worry, Childe, if you ask about the difference between wealth and grass, you must let people think about it first," Fang Yuan smiled perfunctorily, but his eyes peeked at the curtain blocking the 'door' in the middle of the room, this double point has been gone for so long, why hasn't there been a figure, if this scoundrel-like son continues to 'force' to ask, he really can't answer why.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Shuangdian to lift the curtain and come out, with a smug smile on his face, "Childe, our host said, her question will be answered by her, if the question is answered, Childe will agree to our host's three requests." ”
"What if you can't answer?"
"Listen to it!" The double-point 'chest' is complete, patting the 'chest' and his eyes are shining, he has been entangled by this guy for a long time, he can't wait to see his embarrassed appearance, Fang Yuan looked at You Ziqi weakly, and then looked at the double point, and finally stared at the direction of the curtain and didn't move.
"It's just three requirements, okay, this son promises you, but one request corresponds to one question, a total of three questions, if your owner can answer it, I promise that no one will dare to make trouble in your 'flower' shop in the future!"
"Hey, how can you go back on your word, didn't you say ...... just now" Shuangdian jumped straight to his feet, and was about to step forward to talk to You Ziqi theory, but was pulled by Fang Yuan. Lu Mengjian was overjoyed, she was desperate for him to protect this 'flower' shop, so she saved a request.
You Ziqi laughed weirdly, "But after talking for a long time, why didn't you see your boss appear, didn't you deliberately fool Ben Shao to delay time?" ”
"Childe, please tell me if you have any questions." Lu Mengjian found a thick 'hair' towel to cover his mouth, and his voice became low and thick, even Fang Yuan didn't realize that it was Lu Mengjian's voice for a while.
"Haha, the owner is really refreshing, well, the first question, or the one just now, wealth and wealth are similar to the description of grass, but in the world's mouth, it is far from the same, why is this?"
"The so-called wealth is the peony, in ancient times, there was no name of peony, its same grass is collectively called peony 'medicine', since Tang Wuzhou will be the peony 'medicine', the poet fairy once had a poem 'cloud want to clothes' flower 'want to look, 'spring' wind blows the threshold 'dew' Hua Nong. If it weren't for the group of 'jade' mountains, they would meet under the moon in Yaotai. Wait for the peony that sings about several different colors and 'colors'. The rich and noble one started in the time of Emperor Tang Ming, Yang Guifei loved peony at that time, and the Yang family was also given several copies of wood peony 'medicine' because of the emperor's special favor for the concubine, and since then the name of the rich 'flower' has become more and more popular, and the peony has become more and more respected by the rich and noble. As for the peony 'medicine', the 'flower' posture is graceful, the 'flower' is big, the color is 'beautiful', and it was pushed by the ancients as the prime minister of the 'flower', although the two 'flower' flowers are almost the same at first glance, but the peony 'medicine' is herbaceous, different from peony. In ancient times, when people parted, they often gave peony 'medicine' to express their feelings of farewell, so it was also known as leaving or leaving the grass. ”
After listening carefully, You Ziqi couldn't help clapping his hands, "What a cloud wants to dress and 'flower'!" However, there is one thing that the owner has not said, that is, Licao is also known as the 'May' female 'god', which is the famous 'flower' of love. ”
Shuangdian listened to it with relish, and couldn't help but 'interject' and ask: "It's strange, Licao is obviously a 'flower' given away when parting, how did it become a 'flower' of love?" ”
"This is a point that your host did not mention, in the Book of Songs, there are Weishi and 'women', Yiqi scorned each other, and gave them a spoon of 'medicine'. What a beautiful scene it is to fall in love and give each other fragrant 'flowers'......"
You Ziqi's head was slightly raised, and he thought about it infinitely, but when he heard the voice behind the curtain, it became extremely indifferent, "It turns out that what Gongzi thinks in his heart is actually the matter of the man and 'woman', so why do you want to run to the small shop to look for trouble." In ancient times, men and women used peonies to show their admiration, how elegant, how could they be so unbearable, in the name of wealth and grass, they said some indiscriminate 'mixed' words! ”
Fang Yuan's face turned pale with fright, they had only opened the store for a few days, and the business had not yet opened, if they offended the customers because of this, they were afraid that they would fall into the tongue of someone with a heart, but this son was really too much, and he would say anything about the male 'woman' and what he admired in broad daylight, which was too frivolous, not to mention that the owner was still a 'female'.
Shuangdian looked at You Ziqi with a happy face, this decrepit man wanted to be flattened early in the morning, but unfortunately Uncle Fang said early in the morning that the customer is supreme, so he has been enduring it, but he didn't expect the owner to make this decrepit man's face 'color' turn from red to white and blue, and he was so happy in his heart that he just clapped his hands and applauded.
"Auntie...... The owner please stop being angry, there is no malice in the sub-period, but the words of the owner are speculative, and he forgets for a while, and there is something abrupt in his words, really, sorry! You Ziqi spit out the word sorry with difficulty, his face 'color' has risen to the 'color' of pig liver, the folding fan in his hand sometimes opens and sometimes closes, and finally stands up and bows slightly to Fang Yuan, "My son is slightly unwell, I will say goodbye first, as for the remaining two questions, my son will come to ask for advice in the future, but please rest assured that the shopkeeper has promised to ensure that your 'flower' shop is fine, and he will do his best." Leave! ”
"Childe walks slowly, but I hope Childe remembers, Childe still owes a request to the 'flower' workshop!" Lu Mengjian was covered with a 'Mao' scarf and his face turned red, and when he heard You Ziqi walking out of the 'door', he immediately threw away the 'Mao' scarf and sneered, this You Gongzi is really easy to deceive!
But listening to his words, there is some knowledge, but it's a pity that these books haven't been read to the right place, presumably relying on the family's wealth, trying to be a rich idler, he has solved the problem he is worried about, so that he can sleep peacefully.
It was almost afternoon, the sun was finally no longer so hot, and Lu Mengjian set off back to Shita Village, but after two days of hard work, Liu's mother's originally white and fat face actually lost a small circle, and when she saw Lu Mengjian returning safely, she hugged Lu Mengjian with tears in her eyes and cried, "My child, you have suffered!" ”
Hu Bo couldn't stand it with his brows, turned around and went to the firewood room, since Shuangdian went to the city, there had been a lot of firewood accumulated there to chop, just in time for Lu Mengjian to be taken away, no one had the heart to 'get' these 'messy' things.
Lin Daimo rushed home early in the morning to report the news, and was afraid that Lu Mengjian would be tired, so he hired a donkey cart alone and went home first, but when he really saw Lu Mengjian go home, he was still speechless with joy. The five of them sat around the bright hall, listening to Lu Mengjian's story of the night, they couldn't help but sigh, Liu's mother was also serving people in the Lin Mansion, and she couldn't help choking with tears, "These rich people, if they want the wind to be windy and rainy, why should they have trouble with us ordinary people, we don't steal or rob, we have worked hard for so long, but they were all ruined by a word, too much deception, too much deception!" ”
After hearing this, Lu Mengjian's eyes suddenly 'clouded' with a layer of mist, and the 'flowers' in the 'flower' courtyard were almost ruined......
Sure enough, although those 'flower' branches that were torn off were carefully 'inserted' back into the soil, they were all wilted under the poisonous roasting of the scorching sun, and even if the pruning and cuttings were 'cutting' in this weather, it was difficult to ensure the survival rate, not to mention, Lu Mengjian sighed, bent down and picked up the branches that were still alive one by one in his arms, carefully cut the wound with scissors, removed the branches and leaves, and all 'inserted' in the 'flower' pot, put it in the 'shade' cool place, and let it be.
However, the source of the "flowers" in the "flower" workshop is insufficient, so all the potted "flowers" in the "flower" workshop have to be bought by other stores and then sold again, so that the cost is greatly increased, and with today's ability, the "flower" workshop can only buy some unformed seedlings, which is difficult to make a profit!
Fortunately, the potted plants at the root of the wall are still fine, otherwise Lu Mengjian would really be sad overnight.
But before Lu Mengjian could settle down, Aunt Li suddenly came to the 'door'. Since she "handed" the lily "flowers" selected by her heart to Aunt Li, Aunt Li has reclaimed most of the vacant land in the yard and planted a full yard, plus she has to "operate" housework all day long, and Zhong'er is tall and jumps up, so she has to sew new clothes for the change of seasons, and she is busy all day long, so she has to "take time" to come over.
As soon as she heard Li Dazhuang say what happened yesterday, Aunt Li was also frightened, and accompanied a few old people in the forest house for a day, as soon as she heard that Lu Mengjian was back, she immediately rushed over, and circled Lu Mengjian several times, and then her eyes were red and she stroked her 'chest' and shouted: "Amitabha, fortunately you are fine, I have to give Guanyin Bodhisattva a good pillar of incense when I turn back!" ”
The two chattered for a long time, and Aunt Li suddenly thought of the sentence spread in the village, and couldn't help but sink her face, and took Lu Mengjian's hand and said, "Mengjian, if you hear anything in the village, don't go to your heart, hum, a group of long-tongued 'women' are not afraid of chewing the root of the tongue and rotting the tongue!" ”
