The girl who wears fast

Chapter 20 The Prime Minister's Tool Man Stepwife (20)

In fact, Xu Shichu knew that it was an exaggeration for Mrs. Li to say that her garden was so unique. After all, in this era, high-ranking officials and nobles have money and leisure, and pursue elegance. One painting, five steps and one scene, rockery and flowing water, exotic flowers and plants, no matter how you look at it, it is a beautiful scenery.

Perhaps at the beginning, this garden did not have so many exquisite man-made landscapes such as pavilions, pavilions, rockery, and flowing water. There were only simple and rough patches of colorful flowers and plants, and some were also fragrant trees. However, even such simple and direct flowers, when they are all When a large area is in full bloom, the dazzling array of bright colors is already amazing enough.

Mrs. Li was dazzled before finally deciding on the bell-like plump pink campanula and the coquettish and mysterious low-bush blue delphinium.

Xu Shichu asked his servants to transplant them into flowerpots, but Mrs. Li took them away as if they were treasures.

Mrs. Li got these two pots of rare flowers, so she ostentatiously invited many people to enjoy the flowers. Of course, she also invited Xu Shichu, the original owner, but Xu Shichu refused, she just wanted to enjoy the flowers in her own garden.

The pink wind chimes and blue delphiniums really made Mrs. Li stand out at the flower viewing banquet. The ladies who came to the flower viewing banquet had never seen these two kinds of flowers, and they were immediately attracted by their strange and extremely beautiful appearance , asked Mrs. Li where she got these two kinds of flowers.

Mrs. Li proudly said that it was given to her by the prime minister's wife, and that the prime minister's wife's yard was full of all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, many of which were new ones that were not found in other parts of the dynasty and were obtained from foreign merchants. flowers.

She eloquently described all kinds of flowers blooming in Xu Shichu's garden, how stunning they were when they were full of sights, and when stepping into the flowers, it was like entering the realm of flowers, which made people feel as if they were in a fairyland.

As a result, Xu Shichu's garden became famous under Mrs. Li's excellent eloquence. Many people wanted to see it quickly, and the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately received many posts from wives and ladies who wanted to visit.

The concierge who received the posts was shocked to see so many posts wanting to visit Madam. After all, no one had ever invited Madam or guests who wanted to visit Madam before, but now there are so many posts flooding in at once, which is very strange. It is strange.

He was just dumbfounded when he learned from the servants who sent the posts that those people came to visit his wife because they wanted to visit her garden. However, after receiving so many posts for ten days and a half months, he resumed Peace of mind.

Although Xu Shichu received the post, she didn't agree to a single invitation. She has no friendship with those wives, so how could she agree to their request for a door-to-door visit?
So those wives scratched their hearts, while cursing Xu Shichu's arrogance and rudeness for refusing their initiative to visit.

It's just that no matter what they think in their hearts, none of them can get permission to visit Xu Shichu's garden in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

There was really no other way, so Mrs. Li, as the only person who had a little friendship with Xu Shichu, was entrusted by many wives, wanting to ask her to be a middleman and a lobbyist, and persuade Xu Shichu to hold a flower viewing feast, so as to satisfy their curiosity a bit.

"It's because you said how beautiful the prime minister's wife's garden is like a fairyland, which aroused our curiosity! But we can't go to the prime minister's mansion to see it in person, so you must persuade the prime minister's wife to hold a flower viewing feast this time. Let us take a look!" Mrs. Guo, Minister of the Ministry of War, asked Mrs. Li confidently.

Mrs. Li can only be annoyed at her talk, but she is a little proud in her heart, after all, she is the only one who has seen the prime minister's wife's garden!

Really unable to withstand too many people's requests, Mrs. Li had no choice but to visit Xu Shichu again, and told the wives and ladies eager to see her garden, and asked her to hold a flower viewing feast to satisfy their curiosity. Otherwise, they will definitely not give up.

"I don't like socializing, and I don't have any friendship with those people. I really don't want to break my quiet life to satisfy their curiosity." Xu Shichu shook his head and said, "I use these flowers to make spices, not for them. Come to watch."

"Hey, can you really not let others see it? It only takes one day for the flower viewing feast, just one day... It would be a pity if there is no one to watch the flowers in your yard? It can also make people feel more before making spices. They are beautiful." Mrs. Li continued to persuade without giving up.

However, at Xu Shi Chulang's heart was as strong as iron, and if he said he didn't want to, he didn't want to.

Mrs. Li suddenly had an idea: "Otherwise, if you open a flower shop and sell some of the flowers in your yard in the shop, it won't bother you, and those who are interested can also come to the shop to see them. They can watch it for as long as they like."

Xu Shichu's eyes lit up: "This is possible! Flowers are sold as spices, so why not sell raw flowers and grasses? Thank you for your idea. When you leave later, you can choose a flower belt Walk!"

Mrs. Li blushed with excitement, and couldn't wait to walk among the flowers: "I will definitely choose carefully!"

After sending Mrs. Li away, Xu Shichu set up a flower shop. The flowers and plants are ready-made, just buy one in the shop, and the staff can find a florist who can grow flowers. The name of the shop is Baihua Pavilion.

Baihua Pavilion takes the high-end route, expensive and not expensive, only sells rare and precious flowers and plants, the number of which can be sold every month is rare, and the price is of course not cheap, and it can even be set by auction.

So soon, there was a flower and herb shop named Baihua Pavilion in the capital, which sold exotic flowers and herbs that were not found anywhere else.

As soon as the Baihua Pavilion was opened, many ladies and ladies of high-ranking officials and nobles were welcomed, and the flowers and plants prepared in the shop were snatched up as soon as they were put out, so the guys had to put more common flowers and plants to decorate the shop , so that the shop does not look so empty.

It's all thanks to Mrs. Li who spared no effort to promote Xu Shichu's flower shop among the wives and ladies, which made Xu Shichu's flower shop have such a large flow of people when it first opened.

The flowers in Baihua Pavilion are indeed novel and beautiful, giving them an exotic flavor that cannot be found in local flowers and plants. This has attracted many ladies and ladies, whether it is the pursuit of elegance or freshness.

And after the female family members brought the flowers and plants home, they naturally attracted the attention of the men, who also appreciate the flowers and plants, otherwise the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum would not be endowed with noble and unyielding meaning by the scholars, so the Baihua Pavilion was opened overnight. It became popular among high-ranking officials and nobles, and everyone was proud of owning a pot of flowers and plants from the Baihua Pavilion, and even held some flower fighting feasts from time to time to compare whose flowers and plants were more beautiful...

This is what Xu Shichu didn't expect. She had expected the flower feast, but the flower feast?This is a bit exaggerated, she can't laugh or cry, and she doesn't know if it's an unintentional trick.
