Chapter 550 The Lantern
Not a plant, not a pot, but a flower!
A flower costs dozens of taels of silver!
You know, an ordinary family of four may never see that much money in their lifetime.

Li Hong felt that this Baihua Club was just crazy about making money.

A little girl who was watering the flowers next to her was not angry when she heard this. Instead, she smiled and said, "Young master, it seems like he is from out of town, right?"

Li Hong muttered: "People from out of town can't be deceived like this by you."

The little girl smiled and said: "Young master is from out of town, so he who doesn't know is not guilty. You don't know something, these flowers are basically just used to decorate the streets. Generally, people will attend the Hundred Flowers Festival several days in advance." , I purchase the flowers I need, and the flowers I bring out are all carefully selected by myself."

The flowers here are just to decorate the atmosphere, so that others will know that there is a flower party here.

It is also for convenience, some people do not know the rules, or forget to prepare flowers themselves.

Because if you pick one, there will be one less here. Someone has to watch and fill it in time, which is more troublesome.

The price is naturally a bit high.

Of course, they don't expect to make money from selling these flowers.

After all, there are some flowers here, and no matter how much money you give them, they won't sell them.

Hearing this, Li Hong laughed dryly, "It can't be that expensive, right? Aren't some flowers quite ordinary?"

The little girl replied: "Many flowers look ordinary, but in fact, they are all cultivated carefully by our flower farmers in Xicheng long in advance. We must pinch them carefully so that all these flowers bloom today and show their most beautiful appearance." If you take a closer look, you should be able to see that these flowers are carefully taken care of. They may seem ordinary, but each one is extremely beautiful."

"To allow these flowers to bloom at their most beautiful today, you can imagine how much manpower, material and financial resources have to be spent during the flower cultivation period. However, the price is a little higher, so I want everyone to be more cautious. Remember It’s a lesson to take your own flowers out if you need to buy them.”

At the same time, it also controls the quantity sold.

If the flowers here are cheap and beautiful, then it won’t be long before the flowers on the entire street will be picked by people coming and going.

They do this as a last resort.

Li Hong scratched his head angrily. He didn't expect there to be so many rules here.

"You are from outside. You must have forgotten your hairpins when you went out?" After the little girl finished speaking, she looked at them and still smiled gently. "If you need to buy flowers, we can make them cheaper, but each of you can only choose one." Flowers, slightly worse flowers.”

When Xie Rugu heard this, his eyes were focused on the double-pedicled crabapple, "I think this crabapple is pretty good."

Hearing this, the little girl smiled slightly and said, "This is our flower farmer. He improved the Bingdi Begonia based on the Xifu Begonia. There is probably only one such tree in the entire Xicheng or the entire Daqing Dynasty. Now there are only ten of them in total. Come and spend more, so the price is a bit high.”

Xie Rugu smiled faintly, reached out and picked one off.

Song Shiyun and Li Hong haven't reacted yet.

Xie Ru then put the picked crabapple flower in Song Shiyun's ear.

Song Shiyun couldn't help but be stunned.

Xie Rugu stared at Begonia next to her ear and chuckled: "It's really not bad."

Immediately, he turned to look at the little girl and asked, "How much does this double begonia cost?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment and said, "One flower costs 25 taels of silver."

Li Hong: "..."

25 taels of silver?

Is this a money grab? A money grab?

If Xie Ruji hadn't already picked off the Bingdi Begonia, Li Hong would have held Xie Ruji's hand and wouldn't have let him pick it off.

However, it is useless to say these now.

Xie Rugu had a calm look on his face. Hearing this, he took out a banknote and handed it to the little girl, "This is a banknote of 50 taels."

As he said that, he picked another begonia with two stems and said, "Since the flowers are blooming with two stems, let's take another one and make a pair."

The little girl pinched the banknote in her hand and was a little surprised. She didn't expect that someone would actually spend dozens of taels of silver just to buy two flowers.

Xie Rugu held the Bingdi Begonia and turned to look at Song Shiyun, "Let's go."

Song Shiyun paused, nodded slightly, and continued forward with Xie Rugu.

Li Hong glanced at the banknote in the little girl's hand and felt a toothache.

Xie Shizi...

Li Hong could only say that Duke Dingguo's mansion was really a great family and a great undertaking.

50 taels of silver!

50 taels of silver! ! !

Just give it away!
Li Hong's mouth twitched, not knowing what else to say, so he could only pretend not to see it and hurriedly caught up with Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu.The little girl looked at the banknote in her hand and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Li Hong caught up with Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu and followed them. Looking at Song Shiyun's sideburns, he felt a little pain and couldn't help but said: "Prince Xie, two flowers are 50 taels." ...Isn’t it worth it?”

Hearing this, Xie Rugu played with the crabapple in his hand and said, "I think it's worth it."

Li Hong: "..."

Two flowers cost 50 taels, how worth it?
"The parallel begonia has a good meaning. Since I bought it, I naturally had to make two of them. These two are the best if they are together. It would be boring to not take them apart." Xie Rugu said with a faint smile.

Li Hong: "..."

Just for a 'fun', spend 50 taels?
Okay, all he can say is that he doesn’t quite understand the world of rich people.

Xie Rugu ignored Li Hong and turned his head to look at Song Shiyun, but smiled and asked: "Does the second sister also think that these two begonias are best together? If Lao Yan flies away, they are no longer together. It’s no longer interesting, right?”

Song Shiyun heard this and glanced at Xie Rugu.

She could tell that there was something in Xie Rugu's words.

Touching the begonia flowers on his temples, Song Shiyun said calmly: "Your Majesty, you have bought everything before you come to ask me?"

Xie Rugu smiled and said, "Don't I want to hear the second sister's opinion?"

Song Shiyun paused and said, "If there is a chance, they will naturally be together. If there is no chance, it would be boring to force a couple."

Li Hong realized later that there seemed to be something in their words.

Xie Ruyi raised one corner of his lips, "What the second sister said makes sense, but there are countless opportunities in this world. If we can be together, even if we are cut off countless times, we will still be together in the end."

Song Shiyun heard the words and said nothing.

Li Hong felt a little headache when he listened to the two of them playing riddles.

It's really hard to understand the conversation between these two people.

Aren’t all the previous conflicts reconciled?
Why did you start playing riddles again today?
Li Hong had some doubts as to whether something had happened, something he didn't quite understand.

However, Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu were obviously not the ones who could answer his questions on this matter, so Li Hong had to give up.

Xie Rugu looked at Song Shiyun and said nothing more.

The three of them continued to wander around the Baihua Club.

The entire Hundred Flowers Fair was quite lively.

After walking forward for a while, various juggling tricks and operas appeared.

Not far away, there is also lantern riddles.

Xie Rugu and Song Shiyun Lihong looked at each other and gathered together to guess the lantern riddles.

Guessing lantern riddles The place is equally lively, with many people standing around guessing lantern riddles.

Baihuahui's lantern riddles are very simple.

The lanterns are hung on the colorful shed in mid-air, and riddles are written on them. It is said that the answers are related to flowers.

Some are names of flowers and some are poems about flowers.

As long as you guess correctly, someone will take down the lantern and give it to you.

When Xie Rugu and Song Shiyun came over, many people were already here guessing lantern riddles.

Many of the lanterns above have been taken down, and most of the remaining ones are difficult to guess.

"The rest is too hard to guess."

"It's like this every year. On the best lanterns, the lantern riddles are the hardest to guess. They just don't want us to take them away."

Li Hong looked at the remaining lanterns and felt that someone had discovered the truth.

Song Shiyun listened to their words and couldn't help but look at the lanterns.

However, there was a huge crowd and many people were running amok.

Song Shiyun didn't notice that a figure suddenly rushed towards him from behind.

She was looking at the lanterns when she heard Xie Rugu suddenly say: "Be careful——"
