Chapter 180: Picking
That night, she heard that Mr. Ling went to find the old lady to quit the house, and the old lady kept a few words to no avail, so she gave Mr. Ling this year's bundle according to the year's knot.
When Yingge led the cuckoo into the study, she saw her young lady sitting on a circle chair, holding a bunch of big characters in her hand in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
She coughed lightly, and Jin Nian came back to her senses and beckoned the cuckoo to come forward and speak.
The cuckoo had changed back into the kudzu cloth shirt worn by the third-class maid, and she was a little complicated in her heart to the pure eyes that Shang Jinnian had seen. I don't know what Jinnian will do with her when she discovers her secret.
Jin Nian didn't notice anything strange about the cuckoo, and she asked the cuckoo how things were going.
Du Juan cautiously told her about the rose cake she had sent in the name of Xie's: "...... The slave really couldn't find any reason to see Zhanfeng. ”
Jin Nian thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Du Juan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "According to the meaning of the commander of Zhan, it will take another month or two for the master's transfer to produce results......" She told Jinnian what Zhan Feng said.
Jin Nian nodded, Zhan Feng was the first proud person by Li Lie's side, what he said coincided with Gu Yanyi's, so she could only wait now.
"You're doing a good job." She looked at the cuckoo and said, "If you don't make any more mistakes in two months, I'll consider letting you go back to your side to serve." ”
The cuckoo's eyes flashed slightly, and he thanked him stubbornly.
In mid-April, the weather is getting hotter, and the roses and peonies in the yard are withering.
Yingge found the cuckoo and another little maid who was sprinkling and sweeping: "You and I will move all these spring flowers to the back garden, and then take a few pots of blooming ones and get them back, otherwise there will always be something missing in the yard." ”
A few people went to the front yard to push a wheelbarrow, and after carrying Chunlan, Rose and other flowers into the car, Yingge came in and asked Jinnian: "I plan to choose some Jasmine and Xia Lan, Miss is it okay?" ”
Jin Nian practiced big characters in the study, and when Mr. Ling said her words on the day he left, the sisters in the boudoir could still see each other, but it was still a big step away from good words, so she would practice diligently in the future.
She spent the past two days in her study, but her calligraphy didn't seem to be beneficial.
"The Xia Lan in the house only has the cicada orchid, it's almost summer, and Jasmine can be opened?" She thought for a moment, and put down the pen in her hand a little discouraged, "I'll go to the flower room with you." "After practicing calligraphy for such a long time, she can see that she is indeed not the material of a reader.
The master and servant went to the flower room, and the florist who took care of the flowers and plants in the house was very responsible, and divided the bonsai into four areas according to the season of blooming. Jin Nian easily picked a few pots of bluegrass, two pots of jasmine, and some moonflowers and sunflowers.
As soon as they had moved the flowers to the car and had not yet gone out, they heard someone outside talking and walking towards the flower house.
Then the door of the flower room creaked and was pushed open from the outside, and it was Su Ziang and Zhanfeng who came in. Seeing Jinnian's master and servants, Su Ziang was a little surprised, and Zhan Feng stepped forward to greet her with a smile.
Jin Nian was also very surprised, wondering how Zhanfeng could appear in the flower room of the mansion.
Zhan Feng saw her doubts at a glance, so he explained: "Grandpa Guo sent me to visit the second lady, and the old lady heard that there were no flowers and plants in the salt transportation envoy department, so she asked Gu Gongzi to take me to the flower room and choose two pots of flowers to go back to Grandpa Guo, so as to refresh myself." ”
Before Li Lie came, the Salt Transport Envoy Office was just an office place, and there had never been a place to live, so those flowers and plants naturally did not have them. Swift Reading.com
Jin Nian said: "That's the case......" In his heart, he thought that Li Lie was really busy, and even let his subordinates do it for him.
She pointed to the four areas divided behind her for Zhan Feng to pick: "If the exhibition commander wants to choose the one that blooms in summer, pick the one from here." ”
Zhan Feng looked behind Jin Nian, there were three areas where the bonsai did not bloom, but the plants were also full of vitality, and the other area had many flowers, and even the wind brought fragrance.
However, Grandpa Guo is a big man, will it be too weak to pick some flowers?
Zhan Feng was a little hesitant for a while.
Jin Nian smiled and stood aside waiting for him to choose.
Zhan Feng's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Miss Six wants to know how to flowers, can you please help me choose two pots?" As long as it can refresh your mind. ”
Jin Nian was surprised, she didn't know what flowers Li Lie liked, and she was about to refuse, but she saw that Zhan Feng's eyes were full of pleading.
But are there any flowers that can refresh your mind? As long as the flowers bloom, the smell of flowers for a long time makes people easily dizzy.
She thought about it for a while and went back to pick a pot of jasmine with buds, as well as a pot of gladiolus: "Remember not to put jasmine in the house, it has a strong floral fragrance, and everyone can smell it outside the house." Smell it for a long time, but it can also make the heart happy. ”
Su Ziang pointed to the Hejian orchid selected by Jin Nian and asked, "The orchids you chose are excellent, but why don't you choose those that bloom?" He pointed to a pot of Xia Lan not far away, which was of the cicada orchid variety, and the yellow petals were blooming brightly.
Jin Nian said with a smile: "I also want to choose that Xia Lan, but its flowers are not fragrant, but this pot of Jianlan is different, it is a variety of iron bones." After two months, when the flowers bloom, the fragrance of the flowers is clear, and it is not easy to make people dizzy when they smell like other flowers, which is very refreshing. The orchid fragrance is far away, and the iron bones are strong, isn't it talking about? ”
In fact, she has her own general thinking about choosing iron bones. Li Lie was born in a noble family, and those gorgeous flowers were a little cheesy in his eyes. The orchid flowers bloom with fragrance, which is not found in Chunlan, Xialan, and Molan. Among the major varieties of Jianlan, the flowers that belong to the iron bone are pale white and green, and the orchid leaves are the most tough, which is very compatible with Li Lie's temperament.
Zhan Feng naturally didn't know that Jin Nian had such considerations, but when he heard her say that, he agreed, although he didn't understand the character of these flowers and plants.
He said to Su Ziang: "Since Miss Six said so, it must be true. ”
Several people went out of the flower room together, Zhan Feng put the two pots of flowers on Jin Nian's cart, and when he was about to break up, Su Ziang asked Jin Nian to go back to the Flower Garden by himself, and he wanted to send Zhan Feng to the front door shadow wall.
Jin Nian asked them to go first, and Su Ziang picked up Jasmine from the car, and smiled with Zhan Feng: "If you come two days late, you won't be able to find me such a conscientious coolie." ”
Zhan Feng hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and reached out to take the flower pot in Su Ziang's hand. Su Ziang is a friend of Grandpa Guo, where does he dare to let the envoy be a guard.
Su Ziang hurriedly shook his head: "It's a joke." ”
When Jin Nian heard this, he asked him, "Big brother, are you going back to the academy?" ”
Su Ziang snorted and said, "I plan to go over tonight." "He took too much leave, and the master said that there was only more than a year left before the next exam, and he should review quietly.
Jin Nian thought that Mr. Ling's nephew was also in Guangling Academy, she thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go and talk to my eldest brother when I go back." ”
A few people parted in the middle of the road, Jin Nian returned to Jinghua Xiaozhu, she and the maid had just set up the bonsai together, and saw Su Ziang walking into her yard with his hands behind his back.
