Chapter 111: Concubine Li Ling

After a good night's dream, Gao Shiman went to Lingyufang with Qian Daoyi on the second day, and asked people to call Mingfan as well. Mingfan took Gao Shiman's errand, and his life stabilized, and his wife Wang Mingzhu went out to sell some gadgets from time to time, and her life was leisurely.

Gao Shiman has not been in the capital for several days, and the owner of Yan Fang has managed Lingyufang in an orderly manner, Gao Shiman laughs at himself for taking himself too seriously, it turns out that no one will deviate from the orbit of this earth. She praised Master Yan: "Jiang is still old and spicy, I didn't expect Master Yan to be so capable, Lingyu Fang will be handed over to you in the future!" ”

The owner of Yan Fang said with a smile: "This is what the slave family should do, and the young lady doesn't have to be well-known." ”

Gao Shiman smiled without saying a word, his eyes full of appreciation. She suddenly had an inspiration, and said to the owner of Yan Fang: "I can design a more beautiful dress, can I find a more capable tailor to make clothes for our Lingyu Fang?" ”

"Oh? The tailor is easy to find, but I don't know what kind of clothes the lady wants to make? "Master Yan knew that Gao Shiman's mind was full of different ideas, and he was very interested at the moment.

"In the afternoon, I'll draw it in the afternoon, I'll find Mingfan something at this time, I'll talk about it later!" Gao Shiman saw that Mingfan was coming, and he was busy saying to Yan Fang.

Gao Shiman beckoned Mingfan to come over, Qian Daoyi was also there, everyone greeted each other, Gao Shiman said to Mingfan: "Do you have any more talented friends around you, Zhuangzi wants to set up a school, and I want to find a few teachers to go to Zhuangzi." ”

Ming Fan was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked what the requirements were, Qian Daoyi told him in detail about the requirements and treatment, and heard that the children of the people in the Zhuangzi can go to school for free, Ming Fan was excited: "This is really a good thing, my friends know, I can't say that they will rush to go, when will I ask for someone?" ”

"At any time, the sooner the better", Qian Daoyi smiled.

"Okay, I'm going down to ask about this, and I'll send today's book to Master Yan, and I'll leave later!" Ming Fan was excited, and after saying a few words, he hurriedly went to find the owner of Yanfang.

Seeing him leave, Qian Daoyi smiled and said, "It seems that this person is not difficult to find." ”

"That's not necessarily, Uncle Qian, this matter will be handed over to you, teachers, preachers and those who solve doubts, you must not choose people randomly. Especially if this character is not good, I feel that no matter how capable I am, I can't ......" Gao Shiman is not as optimistic as Qian Daoyi.

"This is natural, but I don't know if people who are used to staying in the capital will go to Zhuangzi again, and they are not used to it?" Qian Daoyi has new concerns.

Gao Shiman thought about it, if you want to make people have no worries and do things with their hearts, it is best to solve the problem of where the family members go, and in the previous life, they also paid attention to the settlement fee or something, not to mention the simple folk customs now, she took a sip of tea and said: "Uncle Qian, as long as you are willing to go to Zhuangzi if you meet the conditions, you can take your family members to Zhuangzi together, food, clothing, housing and transportation are arranged by Zhuangzi, there is a lot of work in Zhuangzi, as long as you are willing, you can arrange a more relaxed job for your family." ”

If there are really family members, they must not let the family also grow vegetables, people are in the city, how can they let people do farm work, Gao Shiman continued: "If there are family members, it must be women and children, and the children will provide some food between classes, and they always need a cook or something, so the women will let them clean up and help the children get some food." You can do these things with Uncle Yang! "It's impossible for her to worry about everything.

When Gao Shiman left from Lingyufang, she went to the Qi Palace, and she still had to do the affairs of Minzhi and Meng Qi. Yesterday, I had already discussed with the Qian father and daughter, so I still don't want to deal with Meng Qi right away and see how he reacts.

How did she know that King Qi was not in the mansion, Concubine Cui heard that Gao Shiman was coming, and personally greeted her. It's no wonder that there are many people who have ceremonies, Gao Shiman saw Concubine Cui come out, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, no matter how she said that she is still just a commoner, although she is a side concubine, she is also a grade, and there is no comparison with the concubine, the side concubine is only the fifth grade, but she is no better than Gao Shiman, Gao Shiman has never dealt with her, although she never has to salute in front of the princess of Xiangcheng, but she does not dare to be abrupt in front of Cui.

She saluted in a formal manner, but the Cui family hurriedly stepped forward and took her hand and said affectionately: "I have admired Miss Gao's name for a long time, so I don't need to be polite." ”

Gao Shiman smiled lightly and raised his head to meet his gaze, only to see that Cui's eyes were full of sincerity, she couldn't help but feel good, and said with a smile: "I'm bothering Concubine Cui, I entered the mansion today, mainly to find the Meng guards around His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is going out of the mansion, and he will inevitably be taken out, why don't you talk to the little girl with the concubine?" ”

Cui Low knew that Gao Shiman was lively and generous, and he was also smart and capable, otherwise Li Ling and Qin Yufeng would not have respected her at the same time, although Li Ling didn't like her, but she was always concerned about the things around Li Ling. Hearing Gao Shiman say this, Ying Ying smiled and said: "I have long wanted to know Miss Gao, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, then go to me to gossip!" ”

Gao Shiman was already a little familiar, and seeing that Concubine Cui was humble and kind and didn't have much arrogance, he walked through the eaves corridor with her and prepared to go to the flower hall to sit. Passing by a flower garden, Gao Shiman saw that the garden was full of ruined peonies and other flowers, and said strangely: "Concubine Cui, is there no one to take care of the peonies in this garden?" ”

The concubine smiled: "Father Zhao, who takes care of this garden, went to his son in the countryside after the New Year, because I also like to fiddle with these flowers and plants, so I let him rest for a while and come back. ”

Along the way, in addition to peonies, there are chrysanthemums and peonies, as well as some plants whose names Gao Shiman does not know. In her previous life, Gao Shiman's uncle raised several extremely beautiful peonies, and she also saw her uncle grafting peonies of different colors together, and when it came to flowering, it was very beautiful. At that time, there were many fruit trees, walnuts, orange trees, peach trees, everywhere in my hometown. Many people have a set of grafting, and Gao Shiman still remembers that many orange trees froze to death in the year of the blizzard, and suffered heavy losses.

The peony leaf is very similar to the peony, and it is already dilapidated at this time, and Gao Shiman walks while watching. In her previous life, her family also had ten fruit trees, and her father could also graft, and she also learned two hands; My mother raised a lot of flowers, there are night fragrance trees, hydrangeas, etc., and Gao Shiman likes to raise some grave repellent flowers and plants, she later bought a house on the first floor, there are more mosquitoes, she planted purple jasmine, night fragrance trees, mint or something in front of the door, a summer night, the fragrance hits people, and then gradually raised interest, and then successively raised some other flowers and plants.

When she saw the garden today, although there were all the flowers in the garden, she was walking and looking at it with interest, and Concubine Cui smiled and said, "Miss Gao is also interested in raising flowers?" ”

Since coming to this other world, Gao Shiman only thinks about how to settle down and how to make money, but he doesn't have the heart to fiddle with these flowers and plants. She nodded and said, "I also like to play with flowers and plants, these flowers and plants are actually like children, and it is very rewarding to watch them grow and bloom slowly." As she spoke, she started to "me, me, me" again, knowing that she had a lot of face in front of King Qi, and Concubine Cui didn't mind.

Concubine Cui nodded and said, "That's true, especially when the flowers bloom, the spring color in the garden is really intoxicating." ”

Gao Shiman remembered that the peony raised by his uncle was of the same plant and different colors, although it was much inferior to the "Erqiao peony", but if the grafting was successful here, it would be very good, thinking of this, she said excitedly: "Concubine Cui, I can let the same peony bloom on several different colors of flowers, are you interested?" ”

Concubine Cui was stunned and said, "You actually have such ability?" How can I make the same plant different colors? ”

"Not yet, when the weather is warm, wait until March and April, and then I'll come to the house to help you do this!" Gao Shiman was very excited about her idea, there are many fruit trees on Zhuangzi, and she knows that fruit trees of the same family and genus such as apples, pears, citrus and cherries can be grafted together, although it may not be effective in increasing yield, but it is undoubtedly a great improvement in its economic value and ornamental value in this era.

In her previous life, she knew that potatoes and tomatoes could be grafted together, and tomatoes used the potato's strong root system to increase yields, although this grafted potato tomato was not grown in her hometown at the time, but she knew that it was absolutely possible.

It's a pity that there are no tomatoes now, and there are no peppers......

Gao Shiman was only excited, and if she looked closely, she would find that there were many Qin peppers planted in the northwest corner of this garden, which had now withered. Nowadays, the people of the Qi Palace's Mansion don't know that this thing can be eaten, but when it is ripe, it is embellished on the plant, and it is very cute and colorful, so the corners of this garden will always be planted every year.

The world is always like this, there is a heart to arrange flowers and flowers do not bloom, and no one plants willows in rows. If Gao Shiman knew that the chili pepper he dreamed of was planted in the Qi Palace, he was afraid that he would die of stunt.

When Concubine Cui heard Gao Shiman say this, she was finally a little skeptical, she looked at Gao Shiman and said, "Then I can remember, ...... in March and April."

When the two arrived at the flower hall, the servants served tea, and Gao Shiman saw that Concubine Cui was not talkative, so he had nothing to say and said, "What does Concubine Cui do in her spare time?" ”

Concubine Cui took a sip of tea and said: "In my spare time, I just play with flowers and plants, and occasionally I will be a female celebrity." ”

Speaking of female celebrities, Gao Shiman remembered that he had to help the singers of Lingyufang paint dresses, and immediately said: "Where is Your Highness, when can I return home?" I still have some things to do, why don't I go back first, and when they come back, I'll come back? ”

Concubine Cui said with a smile: "I just sat down, and I haven't drunk the tea yet, so I want to leave?" The prince will come back after a while, could it be that you are very bored to stay with me? ”

This is a bit of a curse, Gao Shiman smiled: "How come, that's it, I'll wait, anyway, things have to be done slowly." ”

Concubine Cui nodded and smiled without saying a word, and Gao Shiman saw that she didn't speak, so she said, "Can Concubine Cui draw?" ”

"Okay, what?" Concubine Cui asked strangely.

"Either the concubine will help me draw two pictures?" Gao Shiman thought that it was okay anyway, it was better to let the side concubine help her draw a few beautiful dress patterns, she came to describe it, and the side concubine painted, I believe it should not be difficult.

At this moment, I heard the girls outside say, "Lord Wang." ”

It should be Li Ling who came back, the side concubine and her looked towards the door, and sure enough, Li Ling came in in a black regular clothes.
