、、、、、、、、、、 smiled at Nineteen Niang and saluted, Nineteen Niang's body did not have Wu Xilian's arrogance, and she was not as beautiful as Wu Xilian, but the confidence exuded by the whole person from the inside and outside was obvious. That's exactly what women in this era share who are well-born, well-bred and don't feel bad about themselves.

Nineteen Niang is also measuring peonies without revealing traces, peonies are very beautiful, Nineteen Niang doesn't know what it means to be alluring to the city, but she knows that among the women she has seen in her life, the beauty of peonies is one of the few. The years are fleeting, and the red face is easy to age, so what she admires most is the peony's kind of calm and calm spirit.

She is not a daughter born in the court like Seventeen Niang, and she does not have a glorious background like Seventeen Niang, and she is worth a price to be sold. She is just a concubine, although her father is very diligent, but she can't get rid of the identity of a concubine, when she was very young, her father was not successful, and she had to rely on the family to survive, she would look at the eyes, see the warmth and cold. But her father has always taught her that the terrible thing is not that her status is lower than others, but that she always thinks that she is inferior, and she doesn't dare to fight or rob, which is the saddest.

Therefore, when she heard about the peony, she subconsciously associated the peony with the state that her father said. Nineteen Niang glanced at the side, obviously feeling uncomfortable, but she wanted to be very gentle and polite, pointed out the identity of the peony in public, and put on a tearful makeup Qi Yuzhu who had just become popular in the palace, and suddenly felt that the peony was much cuter than Qi Yuzhu.

Xue Niang affectionately took Peony's hand and said with a smile: "Sister He, the hibiscus clothes you gave me last time are really fine, and you can't buy them with money outside." My mother and I were talking to the ladies outside, and these sisters smelled the fragrance and wanted to learn from you, so Mrs. Cui said that you were also there, so she asked me to bring them in, disturbing your purity, don't be surprised. ”

It turned out that Mrs. Cui asked them to come in to find her, although she didn't know what Mrs. Cui's purpose was, but she wouldn't really let the daughters of these famous officials make friends with her, right? But even if so, so what? Now that everyone has been sent to her, she has the opportunity to mix up her face and advertise her peony garden! What's more, Xue Niang is a good girl.

Thinking of this, Peony became more and more calm, and said with a smile: "I've been very busy during this time, otherwise I would have come to play with you a long time ago." I don't know that you are coming today, or if they will have people come to talk to you, how can they think that you have disturbed my purity? Let's go and sit in the gazebo over there, my sisters are there, and my nieces and nephews are there. ”

Qi Yuzhu glanced at the pavilion, and saw that there were many people inside, and she didn't like it in her heart, so she was a little late. Only Xue Niang likes a lot of people, and she doesn't pay so much attention to it, and just about to respond, Rong Niang and Ying Niang have been very sensible and led a few younger sisters over and said: "Auntie, we want to go to the garden, I heard that there is a water pavilion over there, I want to go there to see, feed the fish." "This is to move the place for Peony and the others.

Or the most considerate of his own family. Peony stretched out her hand to comb the clothes and hair of the youngest Rui Niang and Han Niang, and advised: "Yangda, try to play in the shade of the tree, beware of the heat in your heart, and be careful when you are near the water, don't fall in." ”

Rong Niang and Ying Niang took one by one, and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, we will be optimistic about our sisters." ”

Seeing Rong Niang and Ying Niang and the others leaving, Xue Niang showed an envious look on her face: "There are so many people in your family, and your niece and nephew are not much younger than you, presumably your family must be very lively." ”

Qi Yuzhu covered half of her face with a fan, and said with a smile: "Since Sister Xue Niang likes it so much, why don't you ask Sister He to invite you to their house to play." She has always admired Li Xun in her heart, and subconsciously regarded these girls today as her potential enemies. Especially Li Xun's closest peony, the best-born seventeen mother, followed by the father's largest official position of Xue Niang, and the person is hers.

Xue Niang clapped her hands and laughed: "Good idea, I've always wanted to go to your spice shop and jewelry shop with Sister He." Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped and asked Peony seriously: "I heard Mrs. Li say that you have built a village on the edge of the Yellow Canal, have you been busy with this recently?" ”

Seeing that she had asked about the point, Peony hurriedly said: "Exactly, in addition to this, I am also busy buying peony and peony everywhere, and I have no time to make incense." ”

Nineteen Niang pondered for a while, and suddenly realized: "Yes, I heard that you have many precious peonies, and you are especially good at growing peonies." Why, is this going to build a peony garden? Who helped you to rule the garden? How big is it? ”

There are so many smart people. Peony said with a smile: "It is to build a peony garden, which is a garden for the Fuyuan master of Fashou Temple." It's about an acre, it's not very big, but it's enough for me to choke. ”

The name of Master Fuyuan has been heard of by most of the women here, and even the other courtyard of some people's homes is the invited Master Fuyuan. All of a sudden, several people took the initiative to talk to Peony and asked what the peony garden was all about.

Peony naturally praised it, but in order not to make people disgusted, the focus was not on his homeland, but to praise the whimsy of Master Fuyuan, and use the name of Fuyuan to attract the interest of these people.

Others, but Xue Niang was extremely interested, pulling her sleeve and coquettishly: "Sister He, I don't care, you must invite me to play after the garden is repaired." ”

Wu Jiuniang held her chin and said: "With water as the main body, then boating on the river in spring, walking through your peach and plum forest, and visiting flowers must be beautiful." Tell me when the time comes, and I'll join in the fun. ”

Qi Yuzhu said coldly: "Sister He is really powerful, this garden is intended to be like the Cao family's garden, right?" I think I will earn a lot of money in the future. In one sentence, the elegance of the peony was directly returned to its original shape, and businessmen, doing business, stained with copper odor are no longer elegant.

The rest of the girls were shaking their fans and waiting to see how Peony answered, Peony smiled slightly: "I love Peony, and my biggest wish is to hope to collect all the world's fame, plant flowers and watch flowers every day, and boat on the lake with like-minded people, watch flowers in spring, play in the water in summer, admire the moon in autumn, and listen to snow in winter, then my life will be complete." But such a big garden, so many flowers, it costs a lot of money to maintain every year, I am just a woman, I have no skills, and I can't bear to rely on my father and brother to support a generation, then, in addition to entertaining relatives and friends, whether I want to or not, I have to go that way. You can't leave the flowers and trees unattended, that's a big sin. ”

Xue Niang has no difference between elegant and indecent things in her heart, only the difference between right and wrong, what should and shouldn't, and immediately looked at Peony with bright eyes and said: "Sister He, you are really capable!" My mother scolded me all day long, saying that I would only spoil the good things in the family and waste food, and that nothing else would be of any use. If I had half of you, she wouldn't have said anything about me. ”

Qi Yuzhu suggested very enthusiastically: "Sister He's garden is designed by a famous family, and it is planted with precious peonies, there must be a lot of people who want to come and go, and when the time comes, you can collect more money than the Cao family's garden, and all the problems will be solved." ”

Peony realized that her name was kind, but she was actually targeted, but she didn't take Qi Yuzhu's method seriously, and only laughed loudly: "Sister Yuzhu, you are wrong!" ”

Qi Yuzhu said unhappily: "What did I do wrong?" "What she wears today is tear makeup, this tear makeup, is to give up the red powder, only use white powder to paint the whole face white, it looks like she has just cried, and she has no intention of putting on makeup. Although it is the most fashionable, the peony is not appreciated, there is no mental outlook at all, it is okay to smile, this is unhappy, it looks like it is really going to cry.

Xue Niang's opinion is similar to that of Peony, and she is straightforward and fast-hearted, seeing this, she hurriedly grabbed Qi Yuzhu and persuaded: "Zhu Niang, don't cry, Sister He just said it casually, she naturally has a reason, let's listen to her slowly, isn't it?" ”

People who know Xue Niang's character will think that Xue Niang is innocent and cute, and she is open-mouthed, but people who don't know Xue Niang will think that she is deliberately teasing and mocking Qi Yuzhu. At that moment, although everyone had their own thoughts, they couldn't help but laugh. A person named Cheng Meiniang said narrowly: "You stupid child, where is Zhu Niang going to cry, this tear makeup is like this, when you say this, it seems that Zhu Niang is stingy, and she wants to cry for a word." ”

Qi Yuzhu didn't have a good seizure, so she had to squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Exactly, where am I so bored." Sister He, you said I was wrong, where was my mistake? Isn't that what you built this garden for? Since things are better than others, what's the point of charging more? ”

Peony Zhengse said: "I am mainly interested in it. I often think that I rely on the love of my father and brother, and my family is quite wealthy, so I can satisfy this hobby. But in this world, there are more than 10 million people who love peonies, a precious plant can be the tax of ten families or even more, and how many people can afford it? Therefore, in addition to collecting money to support myself, I also want those who cannot afford to buy flowers or repair the garden to enjoy the flowers they want to see and live happily all day in the garden with a little money. As a woman, I can't do much, but I can try my best to love flowers for the world, and I can do so little for like-minded people, I just hope that people who love flowers can afford to grow peonies one day. So, overcharge, I won't. ”

Even though her purpose is to make money first, to be self-reliant, and to make her life better, her words are not casual, she really hopes that one day. Peony is no longer a guest of a wealthy family, but can also become a guest in an ordinary family. Only when there are more people who can afford it and more people who like it, can she make more money.
