Chapter 574, planting flowers but not loving flowers
Zhiyi asked casually, "Peony needs a special person to take care of it, right?"
The maid who led the way bowed, "There are ten gardeners alone. ”
Knowing that, I thought that ten people could open another dressing shop, and the salt merchant would not be short of money.
Mrs. Xi's husband, Jun Xibing, is a legendary figure, 30 years ago, he was a street vendor, and by chance he met the ancient way.
During a hunt, he blocked the tiger's claws for Gu Changdao, and Gu Changdao felt that this young man had a future, and authorized him to sell salt on the street.
At that time, Sanmai was in charge of the salt mines, and it was quite inconvenient for civilians to buy salt at the place designated by Sanmai.
The soldiers were allowed to sell salt on the streets, so they could transport salt to remote places and sell it, and this kind of trade made him a fortune.
The more time passed, the more wealth the western soldiers accumulated, becoming the richest among the commoners.
The West Soldier had three wives, who either died of accident or illness, and the West Lady was the fourth, and this lady did not die, and the West Soldier died. As soon as Xibing died, all his property was inherited by Mrs. Xi.
After the death of the Western soldiers, the East China Sea withdrew the West Family's salt selling qualifications, and outsiders thought that the West Family was so brilliant that it was so, but Lady Ran Xi obtained the salt sales qualification in the Flame Domain, and sold salt in the field, and the West Family continued to sit firmly on the throne of the richest businessman.
Although Mrs. Xi looks mediocre, she relies on her clothes, and under the background of the brocade and golden hairpin, the whole person is more graceful.
The two met in the water pavilion, and Mrs. Xi was sitting in front of the chessboard studying the chess game, and after Zhiyi arrived, Mrs. Xi asked, "Can the second master solve the chess game?"
As the richest businessman, Mrs. Xi has a domineering attitude, and it seems that Mrs. Xi is not easy to get along with.
Zhiyi shook his head, and Mrs. Xi said leisurely, "I didn't know how to do it, but I wanted to learn, and after learning it, I found it interesting." ”
"Madame's concentration is good, I can't sit still, I'm afraid I won't experience such fun in my life. ”
"When I was younger, I couldn't sit still, but as I got older, I was able to calm down. ”
Praise the woman for being young and never making a mistake, Mrs. Xi took the initiative to talk about her age, and Zhiyi took the opportunity to answer, "Is Mrs. old, I don't think it looks the same as me." ”
But this time something went wrong, Mrs. Xi's face shrank slightly, "I am the same year as the second master, could it be that the second master thinks I am over forty years old." ”
Zhiyi was stunned, he didn't expect the two to be the same year, this time the horse's fart was slapped on the horse's hooves, Zhiyi laughed twice, "No, I said, it's very young." ”
Zhiyi secretly scolded Fusheng in his heart, if Fusheng hadn't told her that Mrs. Xi was over forty years old, she wouldn't have made jokes.
In fact, it's no wonder that Mrs. Xi is mysterious, outsiders don't know how old she is, where she is from, and men are not sensitive to women's age, and Mrs. Xi's face is fierce, so that Fusheng has the illusion that she is over forty years old.
Mrs. Xi said coldly, "No wonder the second master thinks I'm old, my family is poor, I have a lot of experience, and the second master was spoiled and grew up, so I naturally look old." ”
"Mrs. Xi laughed, it's because my eyes are not good, not your old age. ”
"I have heard that the second master has investigated the case in Liuxiahai, and many people who are not aware of you are aware of it, saying that your eyes are not good, that is a joke. ”
Mrs. Xi held on to Zhiyi's slip of the tongue, and Zhiyi secretly complained, but after all, she was at fault first, so she had to deal with it with a smile.
At this time, the maid came in with a bouquet of peony flowers and placed them in the corner of the water pavilion, and Zhiyi took the opportunity to say, "The peonies on Madame's house are really gorgeous, and they are the most gorgeous I have ever seen." ”
"It's good-looking, I specially chose it, I want this kind of red one, and I can't light it at all. ”
There are two maids entering, all of them are peonies in their hands, and they think to themselves, Mrs. really loves flowers, and even the water pavilion is full of peonies, but peonies can live for a few days on the branches, and they will wither tomorrow after picking, isn't it a pity?
Zhiyi hesitated and said, "It's not easy to plant peonies, it's a pity to pick them, if Mrs. loves flowers, you can move the potted flowers indoors, which can be viewed, and the flowers can be red for a few more days." ”
Mrs. Xi sneered, "Who said I love flowers?"
Zhiyi was stunned, if you don't love flowers, who will plant flowers in your own house?
