"Okay, just choose two pots for me. The bigger one looks happier," Xu Ruoshui said.
Xiwa ran back to Cripple Li and said something to him. After hearing this, Cripple Li raised his head and looked towards Xu Ruoshui. Then he told Xiwa a few words, Xiwa
The baby waved her hand towards Xu Ruoshui, "Young lady, please wait a moment, I will bring it to you right away."
After waiting for about two-quarters of an hour, Li and Xiwa, the lame man, sweating profusely, brought over two pots of flowers. They looked elegant. One pot had golden stamens hidden among the pale petals, and the other pot had graceful flowers.
The flower with its tongue-like petals stretched out, Xu Ruoshui knew, was a chrysanthemum. Its color was not the ordinary golden yellow, but the extremely rare peach red. "What kind of flower is this purple flower?"
Cripple Li wiped his sweat, bent down and replied, "This pot is also a chrysanthemum, called cineraria."
Looking at the honest look on his face, it was impossible to tell that he would hit Meng Tianbo on the head with a saw, but Xiao Shunzi had seen it with his own eyes, and even if he had some sympathy in his heart, he could only pass it by.
"Very good, just these two pots." Chrysanthemums symbolize nobility, auspiciousness and longevity. They will definitely be good if they are sent to Fang Liying and Wang Mengjiao's yard. But looking at these two pots, Xu Ruoshui was a little helpless.
How do you get there yourself?
"Master, you can make it easier for me to find my slave," it was Yan'er's voice. It looked like she had been looking for her for a long time. "Master said that you are in the greenhouse, so I asked your slave to come and take care of me."
Meng Tianbo was so thoughtful that he even considered whether he could move the flowers.
Xiwa and Yan'er each followed Xu Ruoshui with a pot of flowers. She went to Huansha Garden first and asked Xiwa to wait at the entrance of the courtyard. Then she went in with Yan'er and the pot of tongue-shaped peach blossoms and red chrysanthemums.
Fang Liying must be in the house at this time, Mrs. Meng is not in the house, and she has nowhere to go. She is lying on the small couch with her eyes squinting to rest, while Chun Jin is tapping her leg beside her.
"Aunt Fang, our eldest lady is here to see you." Yan'er put down the flowerpot and went in to spread the message.
"Cousin-in-law is here?" Fang Liying got off the couch and went out to greet her, "Cousin-in-law, why don't you tell me if you are coming, so that I can prepare you." With the enthusiasm on her face, it seemed that Wang Mengjiao was pregnant.
It had no impact on her, and she looked very relaxed.
"When I went to the flower room, I saw that the original gardener had returned. I saw that his skills were good, so I was thinking of getting you some potted flowers to suit the autumn weather and make it more pleasing to the eye."
When Fang Liying saw that it was a pot of chrysanthemums, and the color was very special, she smiled and said, "Excellent, excellent. You see, my yard is deserted. It's time to put some beautiful flowers and plants. My cousin is interested."
Xu Ruoshui knew that this Huansha Garden had never been taken seriously by anyone, and no one would mention the flowers and plants it was decorated with. This pot of chrysanthemums was placed at the door, and it really looked lively.
"Sister-in-law, please go in and sit in the room. My aunt has given me some nice fragrant tea. I'll make you a cup to try." Fang Liying invited Xu Ruoshui in attentively, but she still wanted to go to Wang Mengjiao's place, so she declined.
"I still have to go to Aunt Wang's place, and I'll come sit with you another day."
Hearing the words "Wang Mengjiao", Fang Liying looked disdainful, "She's so pretentious, she made it known to everyone that she was pregnant."
Fang Liying must have known about this, but her calm look was a bit strange. Could it be that in just a few months, the edges and corners of her body had been polished off? Xu Ruoshui will not go into details.
One way to live, or to be more low-key.
Then came Wang Mengjiao's yard. There were many maids standing at the door to wait on her. After Xu Ruoshui entered, some maids went in to report. Then the maid came out and said, "Second Young Master and Aunt Wang, please invite the eldest young lady in."
It was a clear day, and Meng Tianqi was actually by Wang Mengjiao's side. It seemed that he was interested in this child. This thought made him feel how miserable he was at the beginning.
Yan'er took the flowers and went in. Before entering the house, she heard teasing laughter inside, "Master, please stop teasing me. If I don't eat this fruit, my child will have to eat it."
When the maid opened the curtain, Xu Ruoshui saw Meng Tianqi seducing Wang Mengjiao with grapes. One person was lying on the kang, and the other was sitting on the edge of the kang. There was a sense of affection between the two couples.
"Oh, it's sister-in-law here," Wang Mengjiao felt confident and called Sister-in-law Xu Ruoshui in front of Meng Tianqi, but he didn't refute.
"I got a beautiful pot of flowers in the flower room. I sent it to Aunt Wang today, just in time for the happy occasion." Xu Ruoshui said as before, trying to calm down her mood.
Wang Mengjiao did not stand up, but just raised her head and asked, "I am inconvenienced, please forgive me, sister-in-law. This flower is really beautiful. I have never seen it before."
Meng Tianqi had no intention of getting up and giving up his seat, and Xu Ruoshui didn't care, because when he heard the words "Cripple Li", he might not be able to sit still.
"This is a pot of chrysanthemums. Li, the lame man from the flower house, said the name of this flower is Cineraria. He cultivated it before. I thought it was good, so I sent it here specially."
Sure enough, as soon as Meng Tianqi heard "Cripple Li", he turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, did you talk about Cripple Li in the greenhouse?"
"Exactly."
"The lame Li who walked with a jerk?" Meng Tianqi confirmed, which just showed that he knew the lame Li. Xu Ruoshui didn't even notice that the man walked with a jerk.
"It seems to be him..." she said uncertainly.
"Mengjiao, you have a good rest first, I'll go out for a while." Meng Tianbo said in a panic, and then went out. Wang Mengjiao didn't stop him no matter how much he shouted, and was so angry that he just kicked the bed, "What's the point of being a flower girl?"
."
"Don't be angry, Aunt Wang. Maybe the second young master thinks these flowers are pretty, so let the cripple Li get a few more pots." Xu Ruoshui said casually.
"Really? Why don't I suddenly think these flowers are pretty?" Wang Mengjiao's good interest disappeared along with Meng Tianqi. Seeing that her business was over, Xu Ruoshui went back. She also wanted to have a good rest, so early in the morning
Smiling in front of so many people, my face froze, and I didn’t know when this kind of life would end.
But not long after returning to the house, Mrs. Meng asked someone to come over and talk to her again. With all this going back and forth, she actually missed the lunch time, and Xu Ruoshui dragged her hungry body to Mrs. Meng's yard again.
This time Mrs. Meng was not alone, but there was a strange lady beside her, whom Xu Ruoshui had never seen before. She looked like she was in her early fifties, with white hair on her temples, but
The jewelry on the bun is extremely exquisite. Who is this person?
