Chapter 124: Anger (Basic + Powder 450)
Chapter 124 Anger (Basic + Powder 450)
Hearing Peony's call, seeing Wu San, who quickly leaned over and was about to arrest himself, obviously with bad intentions, shook off Wu San arrogantly, flapped his wings, and paced Jiang Changyang's head two steps demonstratively, flew up before Peony got angry, and landed on Peony's arm, Quack laughed twice, tilted his head to look at Peony's face and said flatteringly: "Peony is so cute." ”
When Peony saw its small black bean-like eyes, he couldn't harden his heart, so he could only look at Jiang Changyang with a sneer: "It has never done such a rude thing, I guess, it should like you." ”
Jiang Changyang smiled slightly: "I guess that's the case." He took a grape from the table, put it in the palm of his hand, and handed it to him. Shake carefully looked at his expression, then quickly took the grape away, flew to the place where it thought it was safe, grabbed the grape with one of its paws, shouted: "Uncle Jiang is good" and lowered his head to eat the grape attentively.
Jiang Changyang couldn't help laughing, and the others also laughed when they saw that he was not angry. Peony knew that from now on, in the eyes of Sha Sha, Jiang Changyang could only be called Uncle Jiang.
Jiang Changyang stayed in Fangyuan until it was almost dinner, and Peony believed that if it wasn't for Mother Lin's side knock, she would ask him if he was busy in Zhuangzi for a while, and ask him who took care of Zhuangzi when he was away, or if it was good to walk after dark, presumably he would not leave until after dinner. But Lin's mother apparently thought that he had stayed too long and was not very good. In such a situation, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he was embarrassed to continue to sit down, so he could only get up and say goodbye.
Ying Niang and Rong Niang were very regretful, Jiang Changyang was a good conversation partner, he knew that they didn't know the customs of many places outside the capital, such as the sea, such as the desert. He even talked to them with great interest about how to find mines, "There are green onions on the mountains, and silver on the bottom; There are shallots on the mountains, and gold below; There is ginger on the mountain, and copper tin below; There are precious stones on the mountain, and the branches of the trees are drooping. ”
Peony didn't believe that he had really followed someone to find a mine, or that he could really tell at a glance where there was a mine and what it was. Most of his knowledge came from reading miscellaneous books or from his friends. But she was sure that Jiang Changyang was racking her brains and trying her best to please her family, as well as her pets. Compared with the flick that would pretend to be deaf and dumb when he saw Liu Chang and pretend that he didn't exist, this flick that dared to jump on Jiang Changyang's head to make a trick or trick made Peony relax even more.
She believed that animals had an innate instinct to see through their essence, such as at that time, when she had just woken up from this body, what she feared most was to look at the flaunt hanging not far from the bed. Shake would always stay in one position for a long time, staring at her motionlessly, her little dark eyes would basically not move, she felt that those eyes could see her heart, penetrate her soul, and see through her identity. The thought sent her shudders. But she persevered, didn't let anyone take it away, she learned to look at it in a friendly way, to talk to it. At first, it was arrogant and ignored her, and it even pecked her hand unceremoniously, but slowly, it became her throwback, and it learned to shout as soon as it saw her: "Peony is so cute." "It was her first friend since she came here, and there was no one like it to accompany her lonely and lonely.
Peony put her hand on the head of the shaker and rubbed it gently, and whispered something that only the two of them could hear: "Shake, you have eaten enough snacks today, and you can't eat any more for the past two days." Shake shook his eyes half-closed, motionless, clearly enjoying her gentle touch.
Peony said softly again: "What do you think of him?" You still like him, don't you? ”
Shaking his head sideways, he pecked her palm lightly.
"Good shake, do you know what it means to like this time?" Peony remembers once seeing that the intelligence of the parrot is equivalent to that of a five-year-old child, the more trained, the older the smarter, and most of the time the dump is more conscious, rather than simply repeating a few simple words.
This time the flick didn't answer her, and it was about to fall asleep.
Peony smiled slightly and said to herself: "Actually, I think I'm really lucky." Although it was a bit troublesome before, it was all solved in the end. That's going to be the case in the future, isn't it? Perhaps, he would be the one she expected. Peony shook his head violently, don't think about it for the time being, the coming days will be long, and the water will come naturally.
Mother Lin came in with a change of clothes, and just when she heard Peony's words, she smiled and said, "Danniang, it's best if you think like this." Only when you can think openly, your body will be good. Speaking of this, she lowered her voice and whispered: "Mom is still waiting for the day you get married, you must live well and be angry with those villains." ”
Peony smiled: "Got it." ”
Mother Lin immediately said: "Jiang Gongzi is a good person, but you must be reserved when you should be reserved, and you must be kind when you should be kind, there are some things that should not be said nonsense, such as today's ......"
Peony hurriedly pushed Mother Lin out: "I know, I've been busy all day, and you're tired, hurry up and go to sleep." ”
Mother Lin was helpless, so she had to turn back while walking: "You must listen to your mother this time, and the next time he comes again, you have to be a little lighter than today......"
Peony puffed out his cheeks, and wanted to refuse and welcome. This night, Peony had a beautiful dream, in which she was the only one, but she was surrounded by graceful and luxurious peony flowers, and even black varieties that were not found here, so many that I could not count them. So much so that before dawn, she woke up automatically, and when she woke up, she still had a smile on the corner of her mouth. Kuan'er, who was on duty at night, was busy yesterday and slept soundly, so Peony avoided her lightly, opened the door gently, and walked out.
In the early morning, the garden was shrouded in a thin white mist, there was no wind, and it was impossible to tell if the weather would be clear, but the air was very fresh, with a damp smell of earth and grass. This is the taste of life, Peony reached out and took a crystal dew drop from a blade of grass, fed it to her mouth, smacked it twice, tasted a faint smell of dust, she spit it out, and smiled like a child.
She looked at the sky, and estimated that it would take another quarter of an hour for the others to get up, so she went to the nursery garden. Along the way, she enjoyed her garden. Some of the transplanted flowers and trees are already alive and well, and some are wilting, but the stones bought from Yuan Shijiu are really very beautiful and very suitable. Peony thinks that if the peonies and flowers and trees she carefully planted are considered a gorgeous dress, then these stones of Yuan Shijiu are the bones that support this gorgeous dress. Now that the flesh and blood are abundant, she only needs to manage it, bring it alive, and make it full of energy and vitality, it will be a rare beauty, and it will have the power to make people fall in love at first sight.
Thinking of this, she thought of Jiang Changyang again, the young and strong man who loved to blush and white teeth with the smell of grass instead of the smell of smoke. She couldn't help but start predicting when his next visit would be, and what excuses he would use. She guessed that he would come again in three days at most, and the excuse was the gardener she had asked him to find for her. Maybe the gardener won't be so easy to find, but he'll be telling him what his friend has to say, and tell her to wait. Peony couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
When she was about to walk near the seedling garden, she heard a conversation not far in front of her, which was the voice of Zheng Huajiang: "Xilang, you work hard, He Niangzi is very soft-hearted and kind-hearted, and she also understands peonies, if you can get her appreciation and teach you a trick and a half, this life will be enough for you to eat and drink." ”
Shiro whispered, "I know." Uncle Nine, what did you learn from her? ”
Zheng Huajiang sighed lowly: "She guards against me, and she doesn't want me to be by her side most of the time." But I always hope that one day, she will teach me a little bit for the sake of my diligence. ”
"Uncle Nine, are there really many, many peony flowers in that small garden? I heard that the joints in the temples and temples in the city were bought by Cao Wanrong this year, where did she get it? ”
Zheng Huajiang said: "Actually, some are inferior peonies and peonies, but there are also a lot of flowers that come out, and I don't know where they come from." He Niangzi has a very good way. You also see the son today, she has a lot of friends like her. Maybe it was given to her by someone else's house. ”
Xilang let out an "oh" and said in a low voice: "This year, Cao Wanrong spent a lot of money to buy joints, and bought all the land that could be bought around at a high price, and he is also asking famous designers everywhere to design, if it is built, it will only be bigger than this, this is not counted, he also plans to give the joints of various temples and Taoist temples next year at a high price." He told people everywhere that Fangyuan was empty, and the peonies were pitifully few, and it was not worth visiting, and that it was better to change the name to Stone Garden after buying so many stones. I'm going to tell Mrs. He about this, do you think she will let me into the garden as soon as she is happy? ”
I only heard Zheng Huajiang say: "Don't mention that person again, beware of being heard suspicious or saying that you have betrayed the former lord and driven you out when you first came, and you have wasted my thoughts in vain." I warn you again, keep your hands and feet clean, and don't steal any of the joints of this garden, or I won't spare you first. ”
Xilang said depressedly: "Uncle Jiu, how many times have I said it, I really couldn't help it at that time, my father was waiting for medicine, I didn't give Cao Wanrong to borrow money, and I didn't give me the salary in advance, what can I do?" I don't want to be a thief either. ”
Peony sighed secretly, it was Cao Wanrong again. Zheng Huajiang introduced a thief to her, did she really eat her soft kindness? has a heart of deception, and thinks that he is hardworking, and wants her to teach him skills, so how can she say that he is good?
And Cao Wanrong, did he think that if he bought all the joints, he would be able to put her to death? No, she has a new technique for peony propagation that the florists of this era have not yet mastered. That's the sprout grafting method. In the traditional peony grafting method, it has always been based on hard branch grafting, which must have a large number of peony scion, but if you use as many as twenty or thirty, or even hundreds of young shoots that would have been abandoned, that is, foot buds, on the peony root, it is different. The survival rate is high, and it is also conducive to the dwarfing of peonies, which is convenient for potted plants, and she will wait for two more years at most.
So she is not afraid of how many peony joints he Cao Wanrong buys and how big the garden he builds. Since he is so rich and likes to attack people so much, she wants to see how much money he has to buy all the peony joints in the entire capital. Can he think of controlling the scale of her peony from the source, and she won't run out of his funds? In the next few years, see how he fights with her?
Peony took a few steps forward, bypassed a clump of Arhat bamboo, and saw Zheng Huajiang's uncle and nephew squatting next to a Taihu Lake stone. The two of them are tending to a bean green tree, and Xilang's expression is very focused, and his movements are also very gentle, looking like a real flower lover.
Peony meditated for a moment and decided not to "bother" the two, whether Shiro was real or not, she planned to let him stay for the time being. Cao Wanrong's cruel and cunning temper she knew that if he was really the person Cao Wanrong got from, then even if he was sent away, someone would come again, so she might as well keep him in the open.
Peony quietly turned around, went around to the seedling garden, asked the mother-in-law who was the gatekeeper to take the key to open the closed gate, and along the path between the ridges, she looked at her treasures one by one, and the more she looked, the more she liked it. After all the flowers she had received were checked by her, Yuhe also found them.
Peony told Yuhe about Xilang and his own plans, and said, "I plan to go around as soon as I return to the city, and say that I want to book next year's Peony joint." ”
Yuhe frowned and said, "But what if that Xilang is telling a lie?" With so many joints, do we have to come over? Peony flowers are expensive, and even if they are planted, not so many people can afford them? Maybe he just bought too much this year, and he wants us to be comfortable after suffering losses. ”
Peony smiled: "It's not that I really want to buy it, but I plan to buy it." "Whether he Cao Wanrong really wants to book next year's joint, or whether he is coaxing her, she will help him add fire. The two gardens are "fighting" for the joint, so that the price of peonies next year will be very good.
Although Fangyuan is still only a semi-finished product, but Yingniang and Rong Niang like it very much here, they learn to change into coarse cloth dresses like peonies, follow her everywhere, walk everywhere, and in the evening with Zhengniang and others to go for a walk in the field, watch the children catch and weave in the ridges, and have a lot of fun. At night, I carried Aunt Duan and Mother Lin, and together with Aunt Peony and nephew, I drank until midnight with the crispy chaffins that Zhou Banniang had gotten, but I had never been at home in the city and had never been at ease.
Early in the morning of the third day, Peony inspected her treasures in the seedling garden as usual, and as expected, Jiang Changyang really came. He drove into the seedling garden with ease, found the peony that was observing the healing of the peony flower's wound, and said with a smile: "How is that assorted brocade growing?" "It's as if he had come to see the flower.
Peony pursed her lips and smiled, her subordinates didn't stop, and pointed in the direction casually: "Then, over there, you can go and see for yourself." ”
Jiang Changyang was silent behind her, and walked over gently, but he dipped in water at the grass hut, and immediately walked back quickly, not disturbing her, just waiting quietly on the side. Peony didn't care about him, and went about his own thing, until about half an hour later, he could be regarded as having finished observing all the flowers and trees. Turning around, Jiang Changyang was still standing on the side, and when he saw her coming, he immediately burst into a smile.
Yuhe waited on the side, secretly squeezing her eyes at Peony, and motioned for her to look at Jiang Changyang's clothes. Peony noticed that he was wearing a new jade-colored robe today, without a knife, and a crystal clear jade pendant hung from his waist, although the black gauze on his head was not new, it was well kept, and the Liuhe boots were spotless. That's a rarity.
Jiang Changyang noticed that Peony was looking at his clothes, the corners of his lips were smiling, slightly uncomfortable, he simply pulled his clothes, and said with a smile: "I made this robe many years ago, I don't like this color very much, but Wu San said it's okay, I don't believe his gaze very much, just wear it to judge you." ”
Peony and Yuhe almost didn't laugh out loud. Don't like to wear it? This is obviously a hint that they are about to praise him, Peony couldn't help but laugh, and said seriously: "Actually, it's very good, it looks very energetic." ”
Jiang Changyang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Peony looked left and right, but he didn't see Wu San, so he said, "Where is Mr. Wu?" ”
Jiang Changyang said indifferently: "He has other things that he can't do." He followed the peony out, and said: "I went and asked, my friend still has the same gardener, and he is willing to share one with you, I picked one for you who can't speak, what do you think?" ”
Peony was stunned, what kind of person is this, how much does the same gardener raise? You can also pick any one who can't speak. Isn't it a lot of variety?
Seeing Peony's hesitant appearance, Jiang Changyang's expression seemed more relaxed, and he urged Peony to accept the person: "He has no children and no daughters, and he is an old man, as long as you are willing to give him a pension, he will definitely not do anything sorry for you." Survive these few years first, and then the people you choose yourself will also be taught. ”
Peony couldn't help but say, "I don't know if you can tell me, who is this friend of yours?" ”
Jiang Changyang hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know if you've ever heard of King Jing?" ”
Peony shook his head blankly: "I'm not familiar with these big shots. ”
Jiang Changyang smiled and said gently: "He is not a big person, he was not famous originally, among the more than ten dragons in the saint, he is the most unknown, equivalent to a big idler, no wonder you don't know him." This gardener is what he raised, do you dare to ask for it? ”
Peony frowned and said, "He's your good friend?" ”
Jiang Changyang corrected her seriously: "It's a friend." "A friend, not a good friend.
Peony was silent for a moment and said, "If you think it's credible, I'm willing to give it a try." ”
Jiang Changyang's smile became more and more gentle, and he said unusually confidently: "I picked it, you can rest assured." His worth is a bit high, 100,000 yuan, but it is very worth it, I heard that more than ten years ago, he used to manage the Hibiscus Garden, you know when you see people. ”
Peony saw a hint of cunning and smugness in his eyes, and couldn't help but look forward to the mute gardener, and said with a smile: "If he is really as powerful as you say, this is really not high, so why not have a little more." ”
Jiang Changyang smiled, and the two silently bowed their heads and walked forward, and after a long time, Jiang Changyang suddenly shouted softly: "Danniang." ”
His slightly low voice was like fine silk, gently gliding over Peony's ear, leaving a strange feeling, Peony's heart jumped suddenly, and his intuitive smile stiffened a little, and he whispered: "What? ”
Jiang Changyang raised his eyes to look at the peony, catching a beautiful flush in her white jade-like earlobe, although it was fleeting, he still caught this subtle change very quickly. His eyes shone brightly, and he said happily: "I want to invite Pan Rong and his wife to live in my village for a while in two days, would you like to go over and accompany Mrs. Bai?" Without waiting for Peony to answer, he said quickly: "Mainly to thank Madame Bai for her help last time." ”
Then what else do you want to ask if you want to? The answer lies there. Peony sighed a little helplessly: "Then I have to go." Although she doesn't like Pan Rong very much, she likes Mrs. Bai.
Jiang Changyang laughed happily and said in a low voice: "I just built a water pavilion and built a rockery, which has been completed, so you just go to see it." I planted a heavy lotus and a white lotus, and it will be very beautiful next summer, and you can take Yingniang and Rongniang to play when the time comes. ”
Peony smiled playfully: "Then do you accept the money?" ”
Jiang Changyang quickly asked: "Do you say you will accept it?" ”
Peony suddenly felt that his gaze was too scorching, and she glanced at him indecently: "How do I know if you can accept it or not?" After saying that, he couldn't help but smile again.
Jiang Changyang was silent for a moment and laughed muffled. He got a blush and a shy smile from her for the first time. This new dress is still worth wearing, and it is not in vain that he spent all his tongue pestering King Jing for a long time and getting the gardener.
When Peony heard his laughter, she became more and more uncomfortable, especially when she saw the rain lotus that had not been put down since the corners of her mouth had been upturned, she became more and more embarrassed, so she pretended to look around: "What are you laughing at?" What's so funny? ”
Jiang Changyang saw through her little trick at a glance, and laughed louder and louder.
Shake still follows Ying Niang and Rong Niang to play in the grass pavilion, but the difference is that it is holding on to a branch and gnawing on it today. Seeing Peony and Jiang Changyang coming, it threw down the branch and rushed towards Jiang Changyang's head as usual, Jiang Changyang stood upright, and at the moment when it was about to land, his arm quickly stretched out and quickly grabbed its neck.
Shaking Yuan opened a pair of small black bean-like eyes, looking at Jiang Changyang in horror, not understanding how this good gentleman, who was still smiling yesterday, suddenly changed his face today. He pinched its neck, and although it was not tight, he still pinched its neck...... It scratched his hand a few times, he didn't react at all, but the strength in his hand did not tighten or relax, it looked at Peony with dignity, Peony stood aside and didn't seem to have any intention of rescuing it, it was silent for a moment, and shouted with all its might: "Uncle Jiang is good"
"Dang", its beak was flicked hard by Jiang Changyang's idle other hand, and it was dizzy, not only painful, but also a little afraid, and the high-pitched voice weakened: "Peony, peony, shake, shake." ”
It was begging for help, Peony relented, but Jiang Changyang had no intention of letting go. So the flick was replaced again: "Uncle Jiang is good, Uncle Jiang is good." Jiang Changyang let go of his hand and put it on his arm: "Little thing, this is where you should stay." Shaking and hanging his head, he didn't move for a long time.
