Chapter 133: Flowers and Paintings
"If you feel comfortable after reading it, you might as well come to the Imperial Garden more often, and don't stay in the Imperial Study often when you are critiquing. You can get it here for review. ”
"Looking at these flowers and admiring the clear sky, I think you will feel better."
The emperor smiled and said to Master Puhua, "Look, this is my queen, every word and deed, don't forget to remind my body, she is the only one in the world!" I'm so worried. ”
"Amitabha, the queen mother is the closest person to the emperor, naturally everything is the emperor's first, and it is human nature to worry about you."
"Besides, the queen mother knows the general situation, and her words and deeds are quite royal models, which is a great fortune for the royal family! The dynasty is very lucky! ”
The ladies of the noble family are in groups of three or two to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden, and those who have ideas are naturally accompanied by the queen's side.
It is not far from the emperor, and if you are just forced to come to the banquet out of desperation, at this time, you can't wait to be 800 zhang away from the emperor, even if there is something, you can't see or hear.
Xia Qingqing belongs to the latter type, she can't wait to find a place to get in, in winter, she should lie on the small kang and drink warm flower tea, and then have a plate of snacks, so that she can be considered worthy of this sunny weather.
I didn't expect to run to the imperial garden to blow the cold wind. She felt a headache when she thought about it, but everyone was so interested, and she couldn't spoil the fun at this time.
Not far behind, pretending to look at the flowers and looking up at the sky, Xiao Lu tugged at her sleeve and said, "Master, should we go faster?" ”
"They are all ahead, the emperor and the queen are almost at the corner, and we haven't entered this trail yet!"
Xia Qingqing said unhurriedly, "What do you know? What's the hurry? It's better to walk slowly, don't you know? People say that a companion is like a tiger. ”
"In the inner courtyard of this palace, it's better to stay away from those important people, so as not to suddenly have an assassination, or murder, and then involve us."
"Master, this is the inner courtyard of the palace, you be quiet, how can this be? What if someone with a heart hears it and reaches the emperor's ears? ”
Xia Qingqing spread her hands, "What can't I do?" Now that everyone's attention is on the emperor's side, do you think anyone will notice us? ”
"What if you can hear it? What I mean is that I want to stay away from the emperor, but I don't want to be closer to the emperor, and I am not afraid to hear it. ”
"It's okay, you can see that the flower is really beautiful, this rose is red, I have seen the pink, I have also seen it, you can see this half blue and not purple."
"Miss, what do you mean by half blue and not purple? Besides, it's not a rose, it's a newly bred azalea, but it looks very similar to a rose. ”
"It's a variety grafted with roses, and that's why it's so confusing."
Xia Qingqing blinked his eyes and said, "Half-blood, I said it earlier, I didn't expect that mixed-race is so popular in the flower world." ”
"Miss, look at what you said, this is just a new method that the gardeners have come up with, to grow some new varieties, and make the nobles laugh."
"It's no different from the usual flowers, and the craftsmen who make them make flowers make a small opening in the branches and leaves of a rose that grows extremely vigorously."
"When you graft another flower branch, you will wait until the wound is completely closed, and then a new branch will grow from this wound, and a new flower bone will grow on the branch and bud, and when it blooms again, it will be another flower."
"It is commonly known as the method of grafting, and this native method is used by the countrymen a lot, but I didn't expect that the gardeners in this palace compound also use such methods."
Xia Qingqing stepped forward to smell the flowers and said, "Okay, a fragrance of roses, what kind of soil method is this, as long as it is easy to use, it is a useful method." ”
"I don't know if there are such flowers in Xuzhou, go back, I should let my grandfather talk to the emperor and give me a few pots of cultivated flowers."
"I took it to Xuzhou to Lin Jin, Lin Yin and them, they have been in Xuzhou for almost a month."
"Black doesn't mention white, there haven't been any major problems until now, and the silver is also sent to the capital on time, so why should we reward them?"
Xiao Lu's eyes widened, she looked at the flowers, then at Xia Qingqing, and asked in disbelief, "Miss, according to what you mean, they did such a good job." ”
"There's nothing wrong with it, and they have earned so much silver, let's reward them with a few pots of flowers, isn't this too stingy?"
Xia Qingqing said, "It's too light, isn't it?" You don't know what Lin Cai told me last time. ”
"We reward people on weekdays, but the amount of reward is too big, even if Bai Yutang can make money, he can't spend it like this, so ah."
"I'm going to give some material rewards this time, and see that this spiritual food is better than that ethereal money!"
Xiao Lu pursed his lips and said, "Miss, then you should reward me with silver, even if it is less, I will agree." ”
"Hey, you loser, what Miss Ben told you in front of you is all in vain, right? I've told you, you can't reward silver right now! ”
"In the future, if any of you do it well, we will reward you spiritually, send a plaque today, send a pennant tomorrow, and send potted flowers the day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow, send a few clothes or so, this silver, spend less is a point, outsiders also give less, gift money, something or something, let's spend less silver!"
"Let's talk about it after this period of time, how can we earn back what we spent before?"
Xiao Lu said, "Master, our Bai Yutang can make money so much, and within half a month, this money will be earned back, why do you say you want to save all this money?" ”
Xiao Lu asked puzzled, Xia Qingqing said, "So if you think so too, you can tell Lin Cai yourself." ”
"As long as you can move him, I'm sure I'll have no opinion." Xia Qingqing nodded again and again.
"Me?" Xiao Lu hurriedly closed his mouth and said, "Master, then I think what you said still makes sense." ”
"Let's not spend money lavishly, Lin Cai is in charge, and it is not very easy for them to make money."
Xia Qingqing muttered, "That's it!" That's it? Did you talk to me about that kung fu, and you explained Lin Cai, then wouldn't you have everything? ”
"Will you and I save money? Isn't it necessary to grasp your preferences for a while? ”
"It's such a troublesome and unflattering thing, it's better to give the silver directly."
At this time, Xiao Lu stood in Lin Cai's position and said, "Master, I think what Lin Cai's shopkeeper said is right. ”
"To open up sources and reduce expenditure, we must first reduce expenditure, so that we can gather more money in one place, and if we open up any new industries in the future."
"Or when we want to open another branch, we have to have some capital in hand to start, capital! By the way, that's how you used that word last time, right? ”
Xia Qingqing nodded, "Yes!" Very good, that's what it means. ”
Xiao Lu said, "Okay, then let's do what Lin Cai's shopkeeper said." ”
Xia Qingqing closed her mouth tightly and glanced at her helplessly.
As if she hadn't seen it, Xiao Lu grabbed her hand and said, "Miss, let's go faster." ”
"I really can't even see the emperor's figure at this moment."
Xia Qingqing said, "Let's go, let's go, you, either mention the emperor to me, or mention money to me." ”
"Together, you can be interested in that golden thing that doesn't make it red, right?"
Xiao Lu said shyly as if he had been told what was on his mind, "Master, you must understand that we are following your steps!" ”
"You have preached so much about these things, and you have told us about the usefulness of this gold and silver, we are now enlightened, and we have already gone to the Tao!"
"You don't take that very seriously, besides, we have a lot of money every month."
"Like you said last time, let us paint you a portrait, draw whatever you want, and finally write the signature and wait for no one to give it to you."
"Let's see if you can have new ideas, open up a new way of sales, or ornaments."
"There's no follow-up yet!" Xia Qingqing turned her head and said to her embarrassedly, "I forgot!" ”
Xiao Lu looked like he had guessed it a long time ago, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and his whole face was red.
He stomped his feet and said, "Miss, how can you be like this, leave everything to us, we have done it for you, and you forgot it." ”
Xiao Lu didn't give up, chattering in her ear, Xia Qingqing hurriedly raised her hand to surrender, "I really forgot!" I forgot, didn't I get busy with these things when I came back? ”
"Also, you see I forgot, and you don't remind me," Midori screamed, "Miss! ”
Xia Qingqing hurriedly grabbed her, "Be quiet, be quiet, little ancestor, this is the inner courtyard of the palace, and you can't publicize it loudly." ”
"Miss," Midori immediately lowered her voice, "You still said that I, what is not the time for us to report to you after we have done it, and you can tell us about the next decision." ”
"Who would dare to disturb you before you spoke? I don't know what you think, but I thought that according to what we handed in, it didn't give you good inspiration, so I didn't draw anything new! ”
"We all thought that we were not good enough," Xia Qingqing hurriedly touched the fried donkey.
said, "It's not that you haven't done a good enough job, I'll study this matter for you as soon as I get back." ”
"Two days at the latest! Just believe me, believe me once," Xia Qingqing stretched out two fingers to her.
"By the way, where did you put all the scrolls they handed in?"
Midori said, "It's all in the cabinet on the left hand side of your room, and the layers are all over there." ”
