Peony entered the backyard with a group of tails, and found a high, dry, spacious and ventilated backyard corner away from other peony flowers, and a deep, loose and fertile place with a deep soil layer to prepare for this purple peony new home.

Mother Lin smiled and pointed to the side of the rockery: "Danniang, wouldn't it be better to plant it there and be a companion with other flowers?" ”

Peony shook his head: "It's good here." ”

Mother Lin looked at the surrounding environment and said, "Yes, it's better to plant here if it's empty." ”

Peony just laughed. When you buy a new flower, you can't immediately put it with the original flowers and trees in your home, because if it brings pests and diseases, it will infect other flowers and trees. The proper way is to put it in one place, observe it carefully for a while, and make sure that it is healthy before letting it be placed in one place with other flowers and trees.

After choosing a location, Peony saw that the flowers on the branches were blooming like this, and it was a pity to throw them away, so he asked Kuan'er to take the big scissors, vases, and copper basins filled with water for flower repair. He rolled up his sleeves and pressed the blooming flowers and the buds that might open into the water as required by the fresh-cut flowers, cut them out, and handed them to several nephews and nieces to insert into the bottles.

Several children have never seen people folding flowers, and they all went down with scissors. I have never seen this way of pressing peonies into water and then cutting. Ten-year-old Rui Niang was curious: "Auntie, why did you press them into the water before cutting them off?" And the cut you cut is oblique. ”

Pressed into water and then pruned, that is to prevent air from invading the branch duct and hindering the absorption of water; Cut into a beveled mouth to increase its water absorption. But the peony and the children couldn't explain this truth, so they could only vaguely say: "The time for this flower vase is longer." ”

Several children said "oh" as if they didn't understand, and each squatted aside to hand over something, and asked a question: "Auntie, are you going to go to the street another day?" Can you take us there? "Auntie, you taught me how to grow flowers." "Auntie, the flower you bought today is not as beautiful as anything else, but it is more fragrant. Did you just buy it because you liked it? "Auntie, have you gone to eat cold tao? Why don't you bring us some back? ”

While smiling and answering their strange questions, the peony took the scissors and carefully cut off the wounded roots of the purple peony that were split and broken but not falling, and clamped off the overly dense branches and weak branches from the base, and left the outer buds according to the shaping requirements of the other branches, and cut off one-half to one-quarter respectively, so that the number of branches was less than the amount of roots, and then stopped, and told the mother-in-law to dig a pit.

Originally, carbofuran or methyl isosulfonate granules should be sprinkled in the soil to control underground pests and root-knot nematodes, and then the whole plant was dipped in a mixture of methyl isosulfonate and methyl tobuzine to eliminate the diseases and insects carried by the plant, but this is ancient times, where did she find these things?

According to the ancient method, the mother-in-law was instructed to mix the white powder and fine soil in one place to prevent insects, and put the crushed bean cake at the bottom of the pit as base fertilizer, and planted the purple peony according to the yin and yang side of the original branches, because the peony was planted deep and easy to rot the roots, and did not dare to plant deeply, only buried the soil on the original planting line, and started to expand the roots, stepped on the soil, and fixed it with a wooden stake.

Peony was about to ask someone to take the well water in the jar to water the flowers, and Fang found that there was a large group of people watching the excitement behind him, all of whom had very rare expressions.

He Zhizhong's Yangzhou beauty Yang was wearing a royal blue printed silk skirt, drawing oblique moon eyebrows, dotting pomegranate lip makeup, and her round face was full of sweet smiles, holding the beauty group fan and saying: "Oh, Danniang is a big deal, I can get started with it automatically, look at this flower, it is more decent than our old Zhang Tou." ”

Lao Zhangtou is a florist of the He family who specializes in tending to flowers and trees. Mrs. Cen was not happy when she heard Yang's description like this, what kind of big deal is she still compared with a gardener? Immediately said: "Raising flowers and enjoying love, she used to love to play with this, and at that time she was not in good health, so she could only point to others to do it." Now that my body is better and I have energy, I naturally have to do it myself. ”

Seeing Mrs. Cen's undisguised preference, everyone smiled slightly. Yang Shi was not angry, but smiled: "In fact, the concubine has always felt that Danniang came back this time, and her spirit was very good, and all the sickness was swept away, indicating that this is a bittersweet and happy life." ”

Mrs. Cen likes to listen to this, and while asking someone to fetch water for Peony to wash her hands, she smiled and said, "You are right." ”

Peony just smiled, because watering after transplanting is the key to survival, and did not dare to let go of people to do, he took the water scoop and carefully watered the water thoroughly at one time, and then put down the water scoop and prepared to wash his hands. After washing her hands, it turned out that Wu personally handed her a towel to wipe her hands, and couldn't help but be frightened: "Why is my aunt so polite?" ”

Wu smiled gently: "It's just a good deal." He insisted on stuffing the towel into Peony's hand, and affectionately took her hand to dry her.

Yang saw it from the side, took the fan and shook it, and smiled strangely. Seeing that his man's mother was so interested in currying favor with Peony, a trace of displeasure flashed on Zhen's face, and he turned his face sideways to talk to Zhang.

Peony saw everyone's faces in his eyes, but he couldn't refuse Wu's kindness and hospitality, so he reluctantly accepted it and thanked him seriously.

Although the Wu family is a concubine, their status in the He family is very different. She was truly respected by the brothers He Dalang, especially He Shilang, who treated her even more differently.

Compared with Mrs. Cen and the Yang family, the Wu family is not beautiful, just because she is Mrs. Cen's companion, she is deeply trusted and relied on by Mrs. Cen, and when she is old, she became He Zhizhong's concubine and gave birth to He Sanlang. Over the years, no matter He Zhizhong went out to run goods or was at home, she has always followed Mrs. Cen to carry water and towels, helping with housework, being respectful and gentle, and winning the love and respect of the family.

But the reason why she really has the respect of Mrs. Cen and He Zhizhong, and the respect of He Dalang and others is not this. Peony is not the only daughter in this family, she originally had a sister who died young, who was born to the Wu family, only one year younger than He Sanlang.

At that time, the He family was far from being as prosperous as it is today, and it did not have so many people. When He Shilang was born, Mrs. Cen had a difficult birth, and He Zhizhong was not at home, so she threw herself on Mrs. Cen wholeheartedly and was busy in the dark. It was not until Mrs. Cen was out of danger and the mother and son were safe that people found that Sister He was missing, and they looked for it again, and then they found it in the well.

Since then, Mrs. Cen and He Zhizhong have a sense of indebtedness to her, and they will always think more about her and He Sanlang in everything, and He Shilang even remembered her feelings and asked the Li family to respect the Wu family. Li really did it, but because of this, he also had a grudge with Wu's daughter-in-law, Sanlang's daughter-in-law, Zhen.

The Wu family got along well with the peony in the past, but the peony that changed the core has always been respectful to her and the Yang family. It's not that the Wu family has anything bad about He Mudan's brothers and sisters or Mrs. Cen in his memory, but he has always been too good and good, and the attention even exceeds that of He Sanlang and Zhen. She couldn't figure out what would make a person do this.

Mrs. Cen saw Peony's uncomfortable appearance, and saw the Yang family and Zhen's uncomfortable appearance, so she smiled and said: "Ah Wu, leave her alone, let her move more, it will be good for her body." ”

Peony took the opportunity to withdraw his hand from Wu's hand, and said with a slight sneer: "Everyone is an adult, and children like my aunt are going to laugh at me." ”

Wu smiled slightly, and automatically retreated behind Mrs. Cen. Yang smiled lightly, glanced at Wu and said, "My sister is still a child." I gave birth to Liulang at the age of sixteen, and Danniang will soon be eighteen years old! ”

Wu only smiled silently.

Mrs. Cen's face was difficult to look at.

Seeing this, Zhen became more and more angry, and secretly wondered what kind of score the peony was posing? It's also strange that the Wu family always has three dwarves in advance, and is cautious in front of Mrs. Cen, and is like this in front of the Yang family, and is like this in front of everyone, He Sanlang is also such a gentle temper, and he follows He Dalang and He Erlang to curry favor with him every day, and he calls himself inferior among several concubines.

Yuhe saw that Zhen's face was not good-looking, so he hurriedly held two purple-spotted peonies and handed them to her, and said with a smile: "Third lady, you see that this flower is fragrant, and it looks like it is two different from others." ”

Who is impatient to throw away this unwanted flower? Zhen pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm just a rough person, how can I understand these flowers and plants?" It's getting late, so we have to get things done quickly. He didn't take the peony in Yuhe's hand, and led his only son He Wei forward: "You haven't finished memorizing the book yet, let's continue to memorize." Then he asked his daughters, "Have you written your handwriting?" Seeing that it's getting dark, don't finish it, wait for your father to come back, and see if I don't ask him to clean you up! Bluffing Hui Niang and Yun Niang rushed to chase her in a panic.

Yang immediately ordered someone to take the peony in Yuhe's hand, and said with a smile: "Look at the temper of Sanlang's daughter-in-law, saying that the wind is the wind, and that the rain is the rain." It's just right, I've never seen such a fragrant peony, so I gave it to me. ”

Yuhe hurriedly handed it over, and the rest of the people took the opportunity to clean up the remaining purple peonies, dispelling the unhappiness caused by Zhen's inexplicable tantrum.

Xue came from the front to call everyone, saying that He Zhizhong's father and son were coming home, so the women and children all went to the front happily, and Wu looked at the sky and whispered to Peony: "Your third sister-in-law is angry with me." Don't worry about her. ”

Peony smiled: "Naturally not." "The big family is like this, whoever is suddenly angry and suddenly happy, it's normal, she is mentally prepared.

That night, Li Xun came back with He Zhizhong's father and son, talking and laughing freely, frank and open, and he didn't feel that he had deceived the He family in any embarrassment, as if it was a matter of course. He Zhizhong didn't show anything special, but after the meal, he left Li Xun in the study to discuss for a long time, and when he came out, he announced that he had found a good person, and asked Da Lang and Erlang to go to Liu's house with him the next day. Salute first, then soldier.
