The girl who wears fast

Chapter 19 The Prime Minister's Tool Man Stepwife (19)

Just when Zhou Wencun hooked up with Luo Yaqing, Xu Shichu also met several princes and concubines. They were very polite to the prime minister's wife who had no obvious background, but they meant to win over Xu Shichu inside and out, which made Xu Shichu a little impatient , So he separated from them early, and went to the garden of Princess Ander by himself.

The garden in Princess Ande's mansion is naturally full of flowers, competing for splendor. This is the time when chrysanthemums are in full bloom, so the garden is full of chrysanthemums of various colors.

But for Xu Shichu, whose yard is full of all kinds of flowers, it's not a big deal. After all, the only pingpong chrysanthemums planted in her yard are pink, yellow, white, wine red and green.

"Why do you keep looking at me?" Xu Shichu couldn't bear to ask, and turned to stare at a young lady not far away from him.

Seeing that she was caught straight, the young lady blushed, and said embarrassingly, "Madam Luo, please forgive me, Madam Luo is beautiful, and she is a rare beauty. I really couldn't hold back and looked more Eye... I offended."

When Xu Shichu heard this, Liu raised his eyebrows. The young lady's eyes were clear and her tone was sincere. It was obvious that what she said was true. She immediately understood that this was a face control.

Xu Shichu himself is also a face controler, besides, the lady just looked at him a few more times, and she didn't have any malice towards her, so he said: "It's okay, I also like to see beauties, you can just look at them as you like."

Anyway, she is not a man, and no one will say that she is lustful.

"My husband is the servant of the Ministry of Rites. My surname is Li. I like the incense in Madam's Drunken Incense Pavilion very much. I have collected almost every kind of incense. I change it every day. Every one is refreshing... Ever since the Drunken Incense from your house After the pavilion opened, I never bought it from other spice shops..."

Mrs. Li is a generous and kind woman. After seeing Xu Shichu's face, she blew non-stop around Zuixiang Pavilion. The key point was that she blew so sincerely that Xu Shichu was too embarrassed to interrupt her.

"I really don't know how smart your perfumers are, ma'am. They can concoct so many kinds of novel spices. Many of them are made of materials that I can't smell. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not coveting ma'am Your spice recipe! I, I'm just passing it off..."

Mrs. Li hurriedly explained, her face blushing, for fear that Xu Shichu might misunderstand that she was looking for spice formulas.

Seeing her anxious look, Xu Shichu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't misunderstand, and even if you really know the recipe, you won't be able to make the incense in my shop, after all, there are many raw materials that only I have. "

"Really? Ma'am, you are really amazing!" Mrs. Li, who was less than [-] years old, sighed childishly, looking at Xu Shichu with bright eyes.

Seeing her doggy eyes softened Xu Shichu's heart, and he couldn't help but say what he said: "There are a lot of novel flowers planted in my yard for fragrance, if you want to see them, you can take a look. "

"That's really great, I want to see it!" Mrs. Li didn't wait for Xu Shichu to regret what she just said.He couldn't wait to reply, "Madam, I've made an appointment with you, I will post a message to your house some other day."

"Okay, you can just come." Seeing her so happy at the beginning, Xu Shichu thought that it would not be a big problem to receive a small fan, so he agreed.

After she arrived in this world, she was busy taking care of her body and doing business, and didn't spend time on socializing, so she didn't even have a single friend who could be called a friend. It just so happened that Mrs. Li was quite innocent and sincere, so Xu Shichu felt that there was something wrong with her. Such a talkative little partner is also good.

After making an appointment with the enthusiastic Mrs. Li, Xu Shichu walked to the lotus pond, and happened to see Zhou Wen exist flirting with Luo Yaqing with sweet words, and the other little girls were also impressed by his handsome appearance and "excellent literary talent" Attracted by his talent, everyone blushed.

Zhou Wencun's exaggerated and careless flattery can only deceive a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world. If someone a little older sees his expression and hears his words at this time, he will be able to His insincerity can be seen at a glance, but it's a pity that only Xu Shichu, the "elder" who is destined not to intervene in the stepdaughter's marriage, can see it here.

Xu Shichu turned around and left without disturbing the communication between young men and women.

On the third day after the eldest princess's flower viewing banquet, Mrs. Li, the minister of rites, came to visit Xu Shichu as she said.

As soon as she entered Xu Shichu's courtyard, her eyes widened in amazement, staring blankly at the colorful and competing flowers in the courtyard.

A piece of purple wheat-like flowers, pink flowers like a cluster of wind chimes, small red flowers like golden bells hanging upside down, round yellow flower balls the size of a baby's fist...

Mrs. Li seems to have entered a fairyland full of flowers, where all kinds of colorful flowers can be seen as far as the eye can see, decorating the world colorfully and dazzingly, making people feel refreshed and happy just looking at it.

"Wow! What kind of flowers are these?" After Mrs. Li was shocked, she didn't care to go into the main hall to meet Xu Shichu, and wandered around those blooming flowers.

Xu Shichu understood that she was fascinated by the fairyland-like scenery among the flowers as soon as she entered the door, so he didn't give her any false courtesy, and simply asked the maids to move all the tea and snacks to the gazebo in the yard, where you can enjoy all kinds of flowers in the yard. flowers and plants.

Xu Shichu watched Mrs. Li shuttle back and forth among the flowers like a butterfly, and did not interrupt her. He waited until she came over with a full circle of the yard and said, "If you like it, I can give you one or two of them." , let you go back and plant it yourself."

Mrs. Li immediately held Xu Shichu's hand excitedly: "Really? Thank you so much! I like everything here..." Then she suddenly lowered her expression and looked down at Xu Shichu's expression, "I am I don’t know which two to choose, can I have both?”

Xu Shichu glanced at her lightly: "What do you think?"

So Mrs. Li suddenly understood that she should not be too greedy, so she said with a painful face: "Then I can only choose carefully, it is really hard to choose, all of them are so beautiful, and many of them are varieties that I have never seen before." Woolen cloth."

"It's all flower seeds that I tried my best to find from foreign businessmen. It's normal that we haven't seen them here." Xu Shichu said calmly.

"No wonder! It's just that such beautiful flowers are used to make incense? It's amazing! I thought that only cinnamon, sandalwood, cedar and the like can be used to make incense, but I didn't expect to make such beautiful flowers Use the flowers."

"What's so strange about using flowers to make fragrance? Don't we also have commonly used osmanthus, rose, and magnolia here? These flowers are also the same, but the fragrance is different and the production method is different." Xu Shichu said.

"That's true." Mrs. Li said, her face full of longing, "If only I had such a yard full of flowers and plants..."
