Chapter 43
Next, Li Sanzhu went to the brick kiln workshop in the town to set the green bricks and tiles, said the date, and found the craftsman who built the house to agree on the details.
Seeing that Li Sanzhu started to build the house step by step, Li Qiusui put his hand away and didn't worry about it. After lunch, he and Zheng Ying got into two carriages one after the other, and returned to Zheng's house the same way.
……
……
In the Zheng family in Fucheng, the Zheng Yuan sisters woke up from a nap at noon, and refused to leave in Mrs. Zheng's house.
There was a pot of orchids on the desk by the window lattice, which was the one that Li Qiusui gave to Zheng Ying. It stands to reason that the orchid is placed in Zheng Ying's study, and Qingyun is responsible for taking care of it, how did it get to Mrs. Zheng's house?
It all started the day after they left.
Zheng Yuan had nothing to do, went to Zheng Ying's study to find a book to pass the time, and when she saw the pot of orchids, she was attracted by the elegant flowers. met Zheng Yan and said to listen to her. Zheng Yan is not a stopper, she is about to run over to see, and finally the flower moves to Mrs. Zheng's house.
Yesterday, Mrs. Zheng sent a message to them to return home today, and Zheng Yan also knew about it. With the idea of not returning the orchid, she has been pestering her mother since yesterday.
"Have you completed all the homework assigned by Mr. today?" Mrs. Zheng asked Zheng Yan.
Zheng Yan smiled, "Didn't you say that Brother Ying and Sui Sui will go home today!" I'm waiting for them with you. ”
When the two of them return home, they must come to their mother first, she will be able to wait for someone here, and she also found a high-sounding excuse, "Song Lin came to the house to thank you, I don't know about this yet!" When I met someone, I could tell you the entrustment. ”
Mrs. Zheng couldn't see Zheng Yan's intentions, "I can't hold my breath at all!" You return the orchid first, and apologize to Brother Ying. Okay, it's still early for them to get home, so go back with my sister and finish their schoolwork. ”
Mrs. Zheng dotes on her daughter, but she won't let her mess around. If you like something from your family, you can't just take it for yourself.
Zheng Yan is still reluctant to move places.
Mrs. Zheng was helpless, "If you arrive early, I will only meet you." Didn't Qingyun say that there are still orchids there in Sui Sui, you go and discuss with her to see if you can mix a pot with you. ”
Qingyun told Li Qiusui that Qingheng went out of the house to sell orchids, and naturally said that there were orchids in the back room.
The matter of selling orchids is not unseemly, and Li Qiusui did not ask someone to keep it secret for her. She was not in Zheng's house, and it was inconvenient for Zheng Yuan and Zheng Yan to run to see it.
"Mother, you can help me talk to Brother Ying." Zheng Yan still doesn't want to give up Zheng Ying's pot.
Mrs. Zheng's face sank, "Sister Yan, you should know what to do and what not to do!" That's a brother's stuff, and you, as an older sister, can ask for it. ”
Brother Ying can naturally refuse.
Zheng Yan stuck out her tongue, of course she understood the reason, and she had no intention of staying, she just wanted her mother to help say something. Qingyun said that the quality of the remaining orchids there is not as good as Brother Ying's. At the last poetry meeting, the ink chrysanthemum cultivated by Miss Gong Jialiu was out of the limelight! Gong Liu didn't deal with himself, and a few days later, at the poetry meeting, I heard that Gong Liu had cultivated another pot of peonies. When she saw this pot of orchids, she didn't want to rob it, but with the idea of borrowing it, so that Gong Liu, who could not be beaten, would be deflated.
Zheng Yuan and her sister went in and out together, so they naturally knew that she and Gong Liu were not going to deal with each other.
……
……
Li Qiusui has already walked most of the way.
On the way, she was bored, so she opened the purse that Liu stuffed to her.
It's still the one Zheng Ying gave.
Looking at the past, the gold, peanuts and silver dumplings inside were intact. She knew that the money in the house had been added.
Back to Zheng's house, go to Mrs. Zheng's courtyard first.
Li Qiusui followed Zheng Ying and saluted Mrs. Zheng, calling her 'aunt'.
Zheng Ying called Liu's aunt one by one, but she didn't see her mother smiling all day long! I almost didn't treat people as my own son. It is necessary to learn from others.
Mrs. Zheng looked at her son's high-spirited appearance and squinted with a smile.
Pull the two of them to sit down, and ask Li Qiusui first, "Suisui, how are the family?" Did Brother Ying call your aunt? Can he please your mother? ”
Li Qiusui nodded, "It's all good!" My cousin was humble and polite, and my father and mother were full of praise all day long. ”
Let's call Cousin Zheng Ying along the pole!
"That's good, he deserves to be like this, how can it be like that!"
Mrs. Zheng and Li Qiusui talked lively, Zheng Ying sat on the other side, took the tea brewed by the maid, and used the action of drinking tea to hide the twitching corners of her mouth.
I heard Mrs. Zheng finally say useful words, "I will take a day off tomorrow, and I will go to the school with Sister Yuan and Sister Yan the day after tomorrow!" ”
Li Qiusui nodded, and before he could speak, the Zheng Yuan sisters entered the house.
Li Qiusui stood up, and without waiting for her to salute, Zheng Yan trotted closer, took her hand and shook it, "Suisui, you can raise such a good orchid, why don't you say anything!" You don't know how proud that Gong Liu knows a little bit about planting flowers! Every time the poetry will be held, it will show her ability, the last time Mo Ju, this time I heard that the peony is going to be displayed, but her ability is broken! ”
A crackling paragraph, Li Qiusui listened inexplicably.
Zheng Yuan, who had just come closer, explained, "Gong Liu is the sixth lady of the Gong family, and her single-handed means of raising flowers are extremely famous among the young ladies in the entire Yinzhou City. is about the same age as Sister Yan, and when Sister Yan was a little younger, the two didn't like each other. The pot of orchids you gave Brother Ying, the floral art and leaf art are obvious, which is a rare and good product, and Sister Yan used it to take a measure of Miss Gong's breeze. ”
Zheng Yan's eyes purred, "Suisui, why don't you go to the poetry meeting with us, and let those who don't know see who is the real master of raising flowers." ”
The Poetry Society, as the name suggests, is to compose poetry.
Li Qiusui waved his hand again and again, "If you don't go, I won't compose poetry." ”
She really doesn't have that much talent. Planting flowers, raising vegetables, and cultivating abilities by the way, composing poems without eating, drinking, and not suffering from that sin.
Zheng Yan laughed, "I can't write poetry!" We are destined to be good sisters. ”
She just can't compose poetry, so she will make enemies with Gong Liu. Gong Liu raised the best flowers for everyone to watch, and by the way, he made a poem to praise it. Every time she goes back, she treats herself as an outsider, a handful of melon seeds, a cup of tea, and looks at everyone with a smile. She didn't get in the way of anyone in the first place, but Gong Liu couldn't see it. The flowers she planted with her own hands are also brilliant in poetry. What do you mean by sitting here?
Li Qiusui rolled his eyes. Then you still go to the poetry club, people go there to show themselves, and you are playing soy sauce together, just to join in the fun.
"Being a good sister is done."
I'll be embarrassed with you, forget it!
