Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 54 Nalan Jacquard
In the garden of Liujiazhuang, the three of Wang Mang walked through the corridor under the guidance of Liu Da.

When he came to a flower garden, Liu Dayi stretched out his left hand, pointed to the path ahead and said, "Three, this way please."

Di Renjie glanced at Liu Da's outstretched left hand, and said with a smile, "Liu Da, you are still left-handed."

Liu laughed and said, "Yo, your old eyes are really sharp! It's been a bad disease for many years."

Di Renjie smiled and said nothing, just walked to the flowerbed, bent down and looked carefully.

In the flower garden, the bees gather in the flowers and linger for a long time.

Wang Mang also bent down and looked carefully, nodding from time to time.

Liu Da laughed and said, "It seems that you two also know flowers."

Di Renjie smiled lightly: "Know a little bit."

Wang Mang smiled and said, "I'm not as good as Mr. Huai."

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang and said, "Jing Yang, don't be modest!"

Liu Da laughed and said, "Can you two tell me the name of every flower in this nursery?"

Wang Mang declined, "Mr. Huai, why don't you give it a try?"

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang and shook his head: "You, you just like to torment me, an old man."

Wang Mang said with a smile: "I have never tormented you, how about this, the two of us can say one thing!"

Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "This is a good idea!"

Liu Da laughed and said, "You two watch it together. If you can report everything, the younger one will really be convinced."

Di Renjie readily agreed: "Okay, then Jingyang and I will give it a try."

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Mr. Huai, please go first."

Di Renjie nodded, pointed to the flowers in the garden and read: "This is a peony."

Wang Mang continued, "This is the Chinese rose."

Di Renjie said, "This is Qingju."

Wang Mang and Di Renjie just kept talking.

"what!"

Suddenly, when it was Di Renjie's turn, he stopped talking and his eyes fell on a few clusters of light blue flowers.

Liu Da showed a proud smile: "Sir, what kind of flower is this, do you recognize it?"

There was surprise in Di Renjie's eyes: "How can there be such a flower here, it's really strange!"

Li Yuanfang asked, "Sir, what kind of flower is this?"

Di Renjie didn't answer, but looked at Wang Mang and said, "Look at Jing Yang's expression, do you know this kind of flower?"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "I've seen it in books before, but this is the first time I've seen it in real life."

Di Renjie nodded.

Liu Da looked at Wang Mang and Di Renjie proudly and said, "If you don't know it, you don't know it. You're playing a riddle. If you don't see it, there's nothing shameful. Even Mr. Xiao, a famous flower grower nearby, I can't even name it."

Wang Mang looked at Di Renjie, Di Renjie nodded, and Wang Mang said, "This is Nalan jacquard!"

Di Renjie nodded: "No wonder the bees swarm here."

Liu Da's complacent expression froze on his face immediately, and he was tongue-tied: "You, how do you two know?"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "It is recorded in the "Nanjing" that the orchid flower is light blue in color and the flowers are small, so it can be used as medicine. The flower has a wonderful fragrance, and it can be regarded as the best among flowers."

Li Yuanfang patted Liu Da on the shoulder and said with a smile, "How is it? It's not easy to make it hard for Mr. Huai and Jing Yang!"

Liu Da gave a thumbs up in admiration: "Submitted!"

Wang Mang smiled, didn't speak, just looked at Hua'er and frowned.

Di Renjie murmured: "Strange!"

Seeing the frowning of the two, Li Yuanfang asked strangely, "What's so strange?"

Wang Mang said: "This flower should be produced in Tianzhu. It is a pet of the monks and nobles in Tianzhu. It is very rare. Moreover, this flower is extremely difficult to care for, and it is not easy to feed it, let alone it is so blooming."

Upon hearing this, Liu Da said, "This flower was brought by our new wife."

Di Renjie nodded: "Oh, that's how it is."

At this moment, a breeze blew by, and there were faint cries of women.

Surprised, Wang Mang and the others raised their heads and saw a beautiful young woman sitting on a stone bench sobbing at the end of the corridor, and an old man over sixty years old standing in front of her.

"Hmph! I don't have such a son!"

The old man was full of anger and shouted loudly.

The voice floated downwind, and Wang Mang and others vaguely heard the old man's voice.

Wang Mang and others looked at each other. At this moment, the old man turned his head and saw Wang Mang and his party.

Wang Mang also saw the face of the old man, it was Liu Chali.

Seeing Wang Mang and the others, Liu Zhali was taken aback and strode over.

When Liu Dayi saw Liu Zhali approaching, he was very nervous and said, "It's broken."

Di Renjie hurriedly asked, "Who is this old man?"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, this is Brother Chuan Lin's father, and the one sitting here is the new wife, I saw them this morning."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Zhali strode up to them, with an angry face, looked at Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang, and asked Liu Da, "Who are these two?"

Liu Da hurriedly replied: "These two are also friends of the young master, come to see our flower garden."

Liu Zhali scolded angrily when he heard the words: "You doghead really deserves a beating! Since you are the son's friend, you can just stay in the front hall, why did you lead them into the garden!"

Liu Da aggrievedly argued, "Young master asked me to..."

A "slap" slap hit Liu Da's face.

Liu Zhali was furious, and shouted hysterically: "Young Master, Young Master! I'm not dead yet!"

Wang Mang hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Uncle, calm down, these two are also my friends, they just admire the name of Liu's Garden, they come here for no other purpose."

Liu Zhali snorted heavily: "It's inconvenient in the mansion, please invite the three of you."

After speaking, he strode back.

Li Yuanfang was very angry when he heard the words: "Your family members are really unreasonable. The three of us just came in to have a look, and we were robbed like this!"

Liu Da covered his face and muttered: "What's wrong with this old man today. He's so fucking wicked!"

Wang Mang was also puzzled and said, "It was fine when we met in the morning, why did this happen?"

Di Renjie hurriedly said: "Since the master is not happy, the three of us will leave now."

As he spoke, he winked at Li Yuanfang and Wang Mang, and the three of them walked out quickly, and soon left the villa.

The three of Wang Mang were walking on the road outside the village, Li Yuanfang said embarrassedly: "Jing Yang, my lord and I caused you to be kicked out too, really..."

Wang Mang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Yuanfang, what's the matter, you don't consider me a friend anymore!"

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Okay, Jing Yang, I won't talk about it."

Suddenly, Li Yuanfang burst out laughing with a "puchi".

Di Renjie turned around and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Li Yuanfang said with a smile: "I thought I would be able to enjoy the autumn breeze and have a good meal. Unexpectedly, the delicious food was not eaten, and it was a good meal. You, the prime minister, must be regarded as disgraced."

Di Renjie was amused by these few words: "It makes sense. It's really embarrassing! It seems that the three of us only have to go to the country shop to fill our stomachs."

Wang Mang said with a smile: "You two come to Huzhou, this guest must be invited by me!"

Di Renjie said: "Oh, by the way, Jing Yang, why are you also in Huzhou?"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "I came to Huzhou not long after we parted in Youzhou."

Li Yuanfang asked: "Jing Yang, is it possible that your home is in Huzhou?"

Wang Mang said: "My master's family runs a pharmacy, and I came to Huzhou to open a new store."

Di Renjie nodded: "No wonder your medical skills are so good!"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "My trivial skills are not worth mentioning, but you two are not in the capital, why did you come to Huzhou?"

Di Renjie sighed: "It's a long story, let's talk about it after we find a place to eat!"

Wang Mang nodded, and said, "Let's eat something for lunch first, and stay at my place at night, and I will cleanse you up!"

Di Renjie wanted to decline, but Wang Mang gave Li Yuanfang a wink, and Di Renjie stopped declining under Li Yuanfang's persuasion.
