Although the process was a bit slow, Ye Qing felt that it was still very appropriate.
When the time comes, through exercise and weight loss potions, you will become a standard weight of 100 pounds during the New Year.
And she wants to grow about 8 centimeters taller than she is now next summer, and then slowly adjust it later.
After lunch, Qian Junbao looked at Ye Qing and asked, "Lady, what else do you need to buy?" โ
"I don't want to buy anything, let's go back."
After buying a pot of ghost orchids worth one million gold coins, Ye Qing was already very satisfied.
Just a few steps after they walked out of the restaurant, they met Shangguan Yongchang again, but this time he didn't walk with Shangguan Kai.
He was holding two pots of orchids in his hands, the one on his right hand was the one that Ye Qing had seen before and was dying, and the pot of orchids on his left hand actually looked very much like the pot on his right hand.
It seems that Shangguan Yongchang bought the same flowers, and it is estimated that the old man was too old to bear it, so he let Shangguan Yongchang go to buy flowers alone.
As soon as Shangguan Yongchang raised his head, he saw Qian Junbao and Ye Qing, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Feeling a little unpleasant to meet them again, he quickly turned his head and prepared to walk into the restaurant.
After looking for orchids for more than half an hour, Shangguan Yong is always tired and hungry, and when he buys flowers at this time, he wants to eat a good meal.
It's just that when he went in, when he and Ye Qing passed by, he didn't know what Shangguan Yongchang thought, and looked down at the flower in his right hand.
Unstable, the flower pot fell to the ground, but I didn't expect the flower pot to be quite firm, and it rolled a few times but didn't break and stopped in front of Ye Qing.
Qian Junbao and Ye Qing both turned their heads suspiciously, looking at Shangguan Yongchang like fools.
Qian Duoduo also came out and glared at him.
He was not afraid of a lot of money, and said with a smile: "Oops! Just one carelessly! What are you doing watching Ben Gongzi do like that? โ
Ye Qing hooked the corners of his mouth, stared at Shangguan Yongchang, and moved his right foot, just about to kick the pot of flowers to Shangguan Yongchang.
was stopped by Qian Junbao and shook his head at her.
Shangguan Yongchang Qian Junbao was not angry, he touched his nose and felt a little bored.
After being tired for a long time, he originally wanted to find some bad luck in Qian Junbao.
As long as Qian Junbao was angry, he said that they bumped into him just now, and when the time came, he said that Qian Junbao had caused him to spend it.
Ye Qing frowned and looked at the pot of flowers on the ground, rolled his eyes, bent down to pick up the orchid, and said with a sneer at Shangguan Yongchang:
"This is the flower that your grandfather wanted to spend three hundred taels of silver to save the life, and you threw it away like this, I don't know how distressed your grandfather should be when he knows that you are an unfilial son?"
Shangguan Yongchang waved his hand as if he didn't care, and snorted disdainfully: "A flower that is going to die, what's so distressing."
If you like it, you can take it! Anyway, don't you fat woman like that kind of thing that's dying? โ
Qian Junbao's complexion changed, and when Qian Duoduo heard such sarcastic words, he immediately raised his fist unhappily.
On the contrary, Ye Qing's expression did not change, but the smile on the corner of her mouth became colder, and she stared at the other party and said, "I don't know if you have heard of one thing?" โ
"What?" Shangguan Yongchang was stunned by Ye Qing's question.
"Haven't you heard that I am a disciple of the South China Sea Shenni in the past two days?
With me, whether it's a dying person or a dying flower, I can save it.
If you don't believe me, how about we make a bet? I can make this flower live better than the pot in your hand in three days. โ
"It's a joke, it's up to you...... Disciple of Nanhai Shenni...... And revive the flower...... How can it be? Shangguan Yong often sneered.
"Then do you dare to bet?" Ye Qing squinted his eyes and continued to sneer.
"Bet on it, I'm afraid you won't succeed!" Is this fat woman stupid to bet on this with herself?
And said that she was a disciple of the South China Sea Shenni?
Ye Qing stared at Shangguan Yongchang and said, "Okay, if you lose, run around the city and shout that Shangguan Yongchang is a fool?" โ
"This ...... Ben Gongzi doesn't bet on this. Shangguan Yongchang is not really stupid, there are still two months to go to the scientific examination, and he does not dare to agree to such conditions.
"And what do you want to bet on?" Ye Qing asked.
"One thousand taels of silver, if you lose, give this son a thousand taels of silver.
In the same way, if my son loses, I will give you a thousand taels of silver. โ
If this flower is saved and loses a thousand taels of silver, maybe grandpa won't blame him.
If they are saved to death, they can be blamed on Qian Junbao and them, Shangguan Yongchang feels that this abacus is very good.
"No, 1,000 taels is too little, since you want to bet, bet a little bigger, 10,000 taels...... Do you dare? Ye Qing stared at Shangguan Yongchang with a look of disdain and said.
This flower is what Master Shangguan wants to spend 300 taels to save him, if he is saved by himself for 1,000 taels, their Shangguan family will not lose.
Ye Qingcai doesn't do this kind of hard work, and he can't do much good things.
"10,000 taels ......" is too much, Shangguan Yongchang hesitated, I'm afraid he can't agree to this matter.
"Why, don't you have the guts? Then according to my previous conditions, the kind of ...... around the city" Ye Qing looked at Shangguan Yongchang with disdain and said.
"10,000 taels is 10,000 taels, do you think this son will be afraid of a fat woman like you. I'm afraid that you won't be able to come up with the money when the time comes? Shangguan Yongchang exclaimed with an unkind face.
"I'm not worried that you won't be able to come up with the money, but what are you worried about us doing?"
After speaking, Ye Qing touched his body, and there was a large stack of silver tickets in his hand: "Look at it, how much is this?" โ
Shangguan Yongchang opened his eyes wide and looked at it, and gasped, it was actually a thousand taels of denominations, and there were more than a dozen of them!
Bet!
This flower is going to die anyway, grandpa has seen so many people and said that he can't be saved, he doesn't believe that this fat woman can be saved.
"Okay, the words are proof." Shangguan Yongchang greedily looked at the silver ticket in Ye Qing's hand and said.
"Okay, let's put it in our words as proof, so many people here are also witnesses." Ye Qing put down the silver ticket and arched his hand towards the surrounding crowd.
"Wait...... This playboy still has to make a mark, what if you come out with a pot in three days? Shangguan Yongchang said insidiously.
"Mark however you want." Ye Qing said indifferently.
The news of the two making a bet soon spread.
After a while, someone brought a contract to Ye Qing and Shangguan Yongchang to make.
This pot of orchids was also marked by Shangguan Yongchang on the leaves and on the pots.
He was not at ease, so he not only made marks with ink, but also with a knife.
If it weren't for too many people staring, Shangguan Yongchang would still want to use a knife to make a few more scars for the orchid, and it would be best to kill him immediately.
When Ye Qing took the contract and flowers away, Shangguan Yongchang glanced at the people who had already watched and asked, "Have you heard of it?" She is a disciple of the South Sea Shenni? โ
"I've heard of it, she saved Mrs. Ji." A man answered.
"Really?"
"Absolutely."
Shangguan Yongchang's face immediately turned red and white, and he suddenly became a little worried......
It's over.
Ye Qing and a few people took the pot of orchids into the carriage and were about to go back to Qianfu, when the coachman stopped halfway.
"Why don't you leave?" Qian Duoduo asked, poking his head out of the car window.
"The road is closed in front, let's reroute."
"What's going on?"
"I heard that some generals will lead troops to fight horses from here, and in the afternoon Suzaku Street will not let civilian carriages go."
"Then let's go the other way." Qian Junbao also heard it and commanded.
The carriage changed its path to make a detour, and after about a quarter of an hour, the carriage came to a halt again.
Qian Duoduo walked directly to the wheel frame this time and asked a little unpleasantly, "Uncle Zhong, what's the matter with you?" โ
"Wrong way." Qian Zhong said embarrassedly, today Qian Laifu's carriage was taken away by Qian Junmeng, and Qian Zhong was called to catch the carriage.
But he is actually a bit forgetful, especially at noon when he secretly drinks some wine, and he is confused when he changes his path.
"Oops! How did you get here? Qian Duoduo shouted.
"What's wrong, what's wrong here?" Ye Qing also leaned out of the carriage and asked.
