After sitting with Mrs. Huarui for a while, Yun Jingchu said, "Madam, before I leave, can I see the flowers and plants you raise?"
"Of course, I'll take you there right now." Mrs. Huarui put down her tea cup, stood up, and led Yun Jingchu outside the house.
As the first concubine, Mrs. Huarui's courtyard is very large, and her garden is naturally not small either.
Now, when everything else is basically bare, in Mrs. Hua Rui's garden, not only March flowers are blooming, but also April flowers are blooming.
White magnolia, forsythia, clivia, smile, peony, late camellia, spring azalea, peach blossom, cherry blossom, truncated crabapple, stranded crabapple, tulip... flowers of various colors and shapes are dazzling, numerous but not chaotic.
Organized neatly and stylishly.
"I wonder why Madam is called Huarui?" Yun Jingchu turned to ask Madam Huarui while admiring the various flowers and plants in the garden.
Mrs. Huarui smiled slightly: "Princess Kang doesn't think that I like flowers, so I call myself Huarui, right?"
Yun Jingchu smiled slightly, acquiescing.
"Then Princess Kang guessed wrong. When I first entered the brothel, I was called Huarui. The Mamasang at that time gave me this name based on my appearance and temperament. The reason why I like flowers is largely because of me.
I have this name myself." Mrs. Huarui said calmly.
"That's it." Yun Jingchu said with a smile.
Mrs. Huarui was quite frank. If most people were born in a brothel, they would definitely try to hide it. However, Mrs. Huarui not only told the secret to her when they met for the first time, but also twice mentioned that she was once a brothel girl.
If it weren't for her opponent, Yun Jingchu would actually like this woman.
In half a cup of tea, Yun Jingchu followed Mrs. Huarui through the entire garden.
"I think Mrs. Huarui must have cultivated a lot of potted plants, right?" Yun Jingchu looked at Mrs. Huarui expectantly. It seemed that she was really looking forward to seeing those potted plants.
Only Yun Jingchu herself knew that she wanted to take a good look at the yard inside and out.
Mrs. Huarui's eyes flashed slightly, and then she nodded and said: "Yes." After saying this word, Mrs. Huarui immediately said, "However, I can't take Princess Kang to see the potted plants. It's not convenient for outsiders to be in my house.
Go in."
It was quite straightforward. Yun Jingchu smiled slightly in his heart. Then he looked at the orange-red sky and said to Madam Huarui: "In this case, I won't embarrass Madam. It's getting late, I should go back."
Mrs. Huarui nodded: "Then I won't keep Princess Kang, I will send you out."
Mrs. Huarui escorted Yun Jingchu out of the courtyard gate, then stood at the door and said, "Princess Kang, please go slowly. You can come here often if you are free."
Yun Jingchu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Can I really come often?"
"Of course. What I just said was not polite. I sincerely hope that Princess Kang will come here often." Mrs. Huarui looked calm.
Yun Jingchu smiled slightly and sighed in her heart again: If she were not an enemy, she would really become friends with Mrs. Huarui.
"Thank you madam. I will definitely come when I have time."
After Yun Jingchu left Ruiyuan, he said to the two maids following him: "You two girls, I've been wandering around all afternoon and I don't know which direction my residence is. Could you please lead the way? Let's go back.
"
"Yes. Princess Kang, please follow me." One of the maids responded and walked half a step in front of Yun Jingchu to lead the way.
However, not long after they left, they were stopped by two arrogant maids at a corner.
