、、、、、、、、、、 Zhang Wulang quickly spread the news that he was going to order next year's peony joints at a high price through his unique way, and in the first few days, there was calm and calm everywhere, and there was no special reaction. Peony still rode a horse every day, looking for some precious peony temples and Taoist temples to wander around and listen to the situation. Especially those temples and Taoist temples that were ordered by Cao Wanrong this year, she went to the most, and her words revealed her yearning and infatuation for these peony species. But except for the kind she particularly needed, she basically didn't give money, only verbally said that she wanted it, and at the same time did not write a deed with these people.

On the fifth day, she went to a flower farmer, who was said to have a peony king called the Pink Lion, which bloomed several times at a time, and was famous. Peony stepped into the door of the family, and when the family came out in person, they called out her name and asked her with a smile if she wanted to order a joint. Peony was overjoyed, knowing that her goal had basically been achieved.

The flower farmer led the peony to see the peony king, and this peony king really lived up to its name. The cluster is more than 4 zhang and nearly 5 feet high, which is already very eye-catching when you look at it. The flower farmer proudly introduced the peony: "He Niang is not the right time, if it is luxuriant, this peony can reach more than 6 feet high, this year more than five flowers, each half a foot large, more than two inches high, the flower type is very special, not I brag, this capital is as big as it, bloom so well, so many absolutely not a few trees." If you want, give a good price, and naturally pick the best for you to keep. ”

Even if the peony has never seen a flower bloom, it knows what this pink lion looks like. The flower is a rare Tuogui type species in the peony, the medium flower species, the flower color is pale pink to white, the outer petal is 2 rounds, the petal base has a large dark purple spot to occupy the entire petal base, the purple stripe around the purple spot is radial, the inner petal is narrow and slightly twisted, and the dark purple spot accounts for one-quarter to one-fifth of the petal. Not to mention the color and flower type, just how many flowers can bloom a year, she is really interested in it. For such flowers, she is more interested in the whole flower than in the joint.

Peony thought for a long time and offered a price: "Your peony, although it blooms a lot, but it is nothing compared to the precious species, I will give you 150,000 yuan, and paste two grafted Yao Huang and Wei Zi, you sell me the whole tree." ”

The flower farmer hesitated, but the price offered by the peony was attractive, and he considered finally coming down. Then, under his introduction, Peony bought several peonies that had grown up and formed in several different flower farmers. Within one day, she spent 10,000 yuan in one go, all of which were paid with one hand and delivered with the other.

Then she rested, and two days later, Zhang Wulang sent someone to tell her that Cao Wanrong had started to act again, this time not only in the temples and Taoist temples, but also in many flower farmers' homes. He really paid for the booking, and wrote a deed with others, not just a verbal agreement like her.

Peony immediately went out again and rushed to book two houses, Cao Wanrong was even more crazy, and even someone came to the door to return Peony's fixed money. Peony smiled, didn't care, and sent the person out of the door after receiving the money, and never paid attention to the matter again.

When winter is approaching, the peony flowers of Fangyuan are collectively applied the last fertilizer of the year. So in those few days, Fang Yuan has been wafting a smell of farmhouse fertilizer, in Shu'er's private complaining words, she now smells her hair is the smell of farmhouse fertilizer, no matter how good the incense is, it is useless, so stinky, it is difficult for the peony to be able to watch everyone every day to fertilize the peony flowers, and when necessary, she will roll up her sleeves and step forward in person to control the amount of fertilizer, which is really not disgusting.

The florists and the farmers who came to help also looked at the peony with strange eyes, clean and beautiful, the little lady who was not on the side, did not smell the smell here, and walked around with a dung scoop, not only teaching people to scold, but also scooping a scoop at any time, which is really ......

Peony was dressed in old coarse cloth clothes, and held a dirty and smelly dung scoop in his hand, and personally demonstrated the half-size to the group of people who had only arrived for a long time. This group of half-size, basically she picked out from the He family, usually it's okay, obedient to the rules, that is, when it comes to the step of fertilization, these children who grew up in the city frowned, and even the exaggerated ones couldn't help but feel disgusting, Zheng Huajiang and others taught a few times, they were impatient to care, and they all went to her to complain, saying that these family members had not suffered and were not suitable for this job, and suggested that she go to sell people else.

Peony knows very well that these family members are certainly a little afraid of dirty, and there are also disobedient people, but Zheng Huajiang and others must not really teach these children who have no relatives and no reason with them. In that case, she had to teach them the most basic things herself. It is not easy to cultivate an excellent peony florist, and it is even more difficult to cultivate a group of florists who belong to her, she must be willing to work them.

With her taking the lead in demonstrating, this group of children didn't dare to say much. After all, the owners are not afraid of dirty and smelly, do they still dare? After the peony did the demonstration, he watched them work. She set her eyes on Man at the front of the group, he was the thinnest in the group, and he was not a member of the He family, but Zhang Wulang learned that she wanted to hire someone, so he suggested that she buy it. Man's surname is Zhao, his father lost all his property, wife and children, and ran to hang himself, the creditor is fierce and notorious, you can imagine the tragic end of the mother.

Zhang Wulang is used to seeing this kind of thing every day, and he is not a compassionate bodhisattva, nor does he care about this kind of idle matter. But I don't know how the child begged him, so he came out to look for Peony, and Peony didn't ask for a word, so he bought the mother at a high price according to his wishes. This child is indeed easy to use, not afraid of being dirty and tired, no matter what, as long as Peony speaks, he must be the first person to rush forward silently.

For this reason, he is usually rejected and oppressed by other children, but he can endure it, does not complain, does not shed tears, and is always the most diligent. In the past few days, when others pinched their noses and disliked, he kept carrying half a bucket of dung and followed behind Zheng Huachang, and he followed what Zheng Huadian did.

Peony had already seen everything he had done, but he did not interfere in the affairs between him and several other children according to Yuhe's intentions, but solved it by himself. She will give him a chance, if he can stand firm and pass her assessment, he will be the object of her training.

After the children were done, Peony announced: "I had planned to pick one of you to take care of things, but I don't know which of you is the best, and now it seems that Man is the best." In the future, you will all be in charge of Man, and if there is anything you don't understand, ask him. ”

As soon as her announcement came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Man looked up at her in disbelief, and Peony smiled slightly: "You all listened well." I know you've had little trouble at home before. But since you have come to me, you have to do as I have arranged. I can't keep an eye on you working like I do today, but I still have to rely on your realization. From today onwards, I will assign tasks to you, and then ask the master to demonstrate, if anyone is not good, come and tell me. If anyone is dirty and afraid of being tired, then, it means that he is not eating this bowl of rice, Fangyuan does not raise idlers, since he can't be a gardener, he will go to sweep the floor and pick up dung and water, if he still can't do it well, there is no way, I have to ask him to leave. ”

She didn't say anything else, but the kids understood in an instant. She was satisfied to see that the children who were usually at odds with each other were looking at Man with complicated eyes, their faces slightly reddened, and their eyes sparkling. Peony sighed secretly, hoping that Man's line would disappoint her.

It was only then that the place was properly settled, and Kuan'er came to tell her, saying that Li Manniang, Mrs. Dou, and Xue Niang were here. They refused to wait for tea in the hall, so they came directly to this side, Peony hurriedly greeted her, Li Manniang hadn't told her in advance that she was coming, and she didn't know why she came suddenly?

"Why don't you have someone come and talk to me in advance?" She walked to a few people and stood a few feet away, just because Xue Niang covered her nose and frowned and kept pouting: "Sister He, you stink to death." Raising so many people, but having to do it yourself. They all eat rice. ”

Peony couldn't explain to her, so she could only smile apologetically: "This is delicate work, and you can't be sloppy." If you think I stink, you should wait in the hall, and come back when I'm cleaned up, won't it smell fragrant? ”

"I asked you to go hunting and fulfill my promise." Li Manniang said with a smile: "I sent someone to your house to look for you, saying that you came here, I thought that if I sent someone to tell you first, it would be better to come to you directly if I delayed my efforts in vain." The others have already gone first, and we came to pick you up. ”

She hadn't seen a peony for a long time, on the day Li Xun got married, He Jiaerlang went, Bai went, Mrs. Cen pushed the disease, and the peony was nowhere to be seen. Although He Jiali is thoughtful and can't find the slightest fault, after all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is always impossible to compare this sentiment with the past. The current situation is that on weekdays, if the Li family does not take the initiative to find the He family, the He family will definitely not take the initiative to post it, relatives and relatives, that is, the more they go, the closer they become, if she doesn't take the initiative again, this affection will be asked for sooner or later.

Peony looked at the sky and saw that it was noon, so he couldn't help but hesitate: "Let's leave now?" Is it too late? ”

Li Manniang said: "If you go far, of course you will leave now, and you will set up a felt tent outside tonight to rest overnight, and you will start early tomorrow morning." ”

Peony smiled: "But I didn't prepare anything. ”

Xue Niang was afraid that Peony would refuse, and she didn't dislike her stink, so she stepped forward to push her: "Don't refuse, go take a shower and change clothes, I've been waiting for this day for a long time." You just need to change into clothes that are convenient for riding and shooting, and I'll do everything else for you, go, go. ”

Mrs. Dou also smiled: "Danniang, you will get her wish." ”

Peony responded with a smile and hurried to pack his things.

When she arrived at the ground, Peony found that there were many familiar faces among the people who came to hunt this time, and there were even people she couldn't imagine.
