-------------------------------------------------------
Shujie and Shuyao looked at each other, what serious thing happened?
Just then, the boy came back: "Master Cousin, Miss Cousin, are you looking for me? I drank too much water, hehe, he ran to the toilet."
The door was opened from inside the room, and the butler came out, holding a very delicate white porcelain flowerpot in his hand. The flowers in the pot were wilted, and they looked like they were in a dying state. Shujie's eyes lit up: " Is this 'pink lips'?"
The chief steward asked curiously: "Master Jie, do you know this flower too?" Dianjiangchun is a treasure among camellias. It is very rare. Their master has been raising camellias for nearly ten years and painstakingly studying camellias for nearly ten years. It is known as "Camellia Zhang", but this is the first time I have seen such crimson lips, but unfortunately they are still wilted.
"Haha, I've seen pictures and descriptions in the book," Shujie smiled sheepishly. Where had he seen such a rare species? He just had a flash of inspiration and guessed it. "The book said, if you light up your red lips, you will get flowers." It is as big as a peony, with five large petals held underneath. The central petals are piled up and as dense as a knot. The flower color is mostly white, occasionally dotted with bright red, like dots of crimson lips."
Zhang Caishu glanced at Shujie with admiration: "Yes, your parents asked me to help find good varieties of camellia as a birthday gift for you. I heard from your aunt that you love camellia the most and you grow it very well. Why? How's it going? Brother Jie, how are those two Eighteen Bachelors doing now?"
Shujie was very excited when he thought of the real Eighteenth Bachelor: "They are both very good. The white Eighteenth Bachelor keeps it at home, and the red one is fostered in a classmate's house. Uncle, are you worried about this plant that makes your lips red?" Zhang Caishu I can't even hide the troubles between my eyebrows. Is there any story behind this withering 'Dian Crimson Lip'?
Zhang Caishu was stunned for a moment and was about to say "It's okay" when the butler was already there: "Isn't that right? The master is almost dying of worry. If he can't be saved, our house will be in trouble..."
Zhang Caishu's sharp eyes stopped the butler's words.
Shujie turned around and said, "Sister Xianglian, please go back to your aunt first. You don't need to tell her this little thing. She needs to rest now."
Xiang Lian bowed and left: "Don't worry, Master. Don't worry, Master Biao. I won't talk too much."
The butler was also about to leave, but Shujie stopped him softly: "Please wait, uncle, is this flower important? Why not let Shujie try it?"
Shuyao also raised her head and looked at Zhang Caishu obediently: "Uncle, let my eldest brother try it. My eldest brother is very good at raising camellias."
"That's right, my eldest brother's Eighteen Bachelor's degree plant is so beautiful, it really has eighteen colors." Shu Wen added proudly, suddenly thinking of something, he quickly covered his mouth with his hands, "Big...brother, hehe, My uncle is one of our own, it doesn't matter?" How could he forget his elder brother's advice? The elder brother said that no one should know. Alas, he was so impatient, no wonder his elder brother and sister refused to tell him where the flowers and treasure chest were hidden.
One time, Shuwen suddenly thought of the White Eighteen Bachelors. Shujie had to tell him that the Eighteen Bachelors in the pot was too beautiful and colorful to be placed in the house, and he was worried that someone would be greedy and steal it, so he hid it.
, and asked Shuyao to take it out and give Shuwen a look.
After hearing Shu Wen's words, Zhang Caishu thought about it for a long time before reacting. He asked his valet to close the door and go out, guarding the door. Then he looked at Shu Jie in shock: "Brother Jie? Eighteen colors? Really?"
Shujie nodded: "Yes, I'm surprised too, and I'm trying to figure out the reason. I'll show it to my uncle next time he goes to Yulin."
Zhang Caishu nodded excitedly, while the butler opened his mouth in shock for a long time, then rushed over and grabbed Shujie's hand as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Master Jie, you must help me. If you can't save this man,
If the plant has red lips, our Zhang family will bear the wrath of Prince Jing, sell the tea garden for free, and pay thirty thousand taels of silver."
"Thirty thousand taels? Do you want a tea garden?" Shujie couldn't help but exclaimed. Even if this plant is a red lip, is it too expensive? "Uncle, did you help Prince Jing cultivate this flower? Camellia grows in the north.
It is difficult to plant flowers in the first place. Everyone knows that even if it is really my uncle who planted the flowers to death, there is no need to punish them so harshly, right?
Zhang Caishu let out a long sigh: "Actually, this flower was just like this a few days after I got it. It's all because I drank too much that day and was set up by someone. Brother Jie, do you think this flower can be saved?
?In half a month, people from Prince Jing’s Mansion will come from the capital to retrieve the flowers.”
Zhang Caishu first made his fortune by cultivating camellias.
Camellia was originally mostly grown in the south. Zhang Caishu can be said to be the first person to cultivate camellia in the northern region of the Zhou Dynasty. Camellia cultivation was the foundation of his fortune. The Zhang family’s tea garden (after Xia Ruoyun came in, Zhang Caishu named the tea garden Yunyuan
) is basically the largest and best tea garden in the north. Even the soil was transported from the camellia-rich areas in the south at a huge cost. Zhang Caishu put a lot of effort into Yunyuan. If Yunyuan is really given away, he will simply have to kill him.
Cut off half of the heart.
Three years ago, the Zhao family, a large family, came to Lucheng and specialized in camellia cultivation. The Zhao family's "Rose Garden" was built not far to the south of Yunyuan.
The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Yufa, visited Zhang Caishu many times as soon as he arrived in Lucheng. He wanted to make friends with Zhang Caishu. He even proposed to marry his concubine to the Zhang family as a concubine, but Zhang Caishu refused.
Although people in the same industry are like enemies, they often express goodwill, so Zhang Caishu can't be too reclusive. As the saying goes, you can't stretch out your hand without slapping someone with a smile.
Five days ago, at Zhao Yufa's birthday party, he warmly invited Zhang Caishu and congratulated him on the birth of his infant son. Because Xia Ruoyun's health improved significantly, Zhang Caisu went there in a good mood, but was severely tricked.
It is said that the "Dianjianglip" plant was a treasure raised by King Jing in the prince's palace in the south. This time King Jing was recalled to the capital. He was worried that the flowers were delicate and could not stand the changes in temperature and other conditions, so he wanted to find a flower.
The boundary in the north and north of the middle is crossed. It is best to have camellia cultivation experts to help cultivate it for a period of time. Zhao Yufa got this job through connections, with the purpose of establishing a relationship with Prince Jing's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, not long after arriving at Rosewood Gardens, the "red lips" began to wilt. No matter how meticulously they were taken care of, there was no improvement at all, and it got worse and worse.
Zhao Yufa was frightened and hurriedly set up a trap to trap Zhang Caishu. He not only wanted to put the blame on Zhang Caishu, but also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain Yunyuan.
…
Shujie and Shuyao looked at each other and replied, "I'll give it a try. Uncle, don't be anxious. It should be... okay."
Although Shujie did not answer affirmatively, Zhang Caishu still heard the sound of nature. After getting along with him for more than half a month, he still understood Shujie's character. If he was not certain, he would not say this.
Zhang Caishu was still calm enough, but the butler couldn't help being ecstatic: "Master Jie, is it really...really? It's better now, it's better now." He had been feeling anxious for several days, but now he could finally do it.
Put it in his stomach. Inexplicably, he just believed that Shujie could save the potted flower. The three brothers and sisters were the lucky stars of the Zhang family!
Shujie nodded: "Uncle, we will go back to Yulin the day after tomorrow and take this flower back. Ten days later, you have someone go and get it back."
