Marquis Xuanping had a well-placed smile on his face and a graceful demeanor.
After hearing him introduce himself to his family, a dark color flashed in Luo Chengwu's eyes, and he put down his arm and looked at it carefully:
"Are you the consort of the eldest princess Zhongli Xingyue? You pretend to be human but don't speak human words. Why are you taking a nap when there was so much noise just now?"
What a liar!
Marquis Xuanping didn't expect this person to speak so rudely, and he was about to get angry when his face darkened.
But he didn't expect that Luo Chengwu hadn't finished yet. He circled around him and looked up and down: "I don't think you are very good! You are as thin as a chicken. I can carry it with one hand." When you get up, you have oily hair and a pink face, and you don’t look like a good person.”
Marquis Xuanping looked at Luo Chengwu with a sullen face: "Your Majesty, be careful! This is not your Beiyan territory, this is our Kyoto in Dali! Are you trying to stir up trouble with your rude words?"
"I'm just telling the truth. What kind of provocation is this? If you are really provoking trouble, you are blind. We are standing here so conspicuously that you can bump into me and crush my prince's precious flowers!"
Luo Chengwu immediately retorted.
"I, the groom, broke your flowers, which is wrong! I sincerely apologize and have someone pay you compensation. It would be too stingy for you to hold on to them! Is this the bearing of you Beiyan people? "
Marquis Xuanping stopped looking at Luo Chengwu, a reckless man, and looked directly at Gongyehong, wanting to ask him for an explanation.
Gong Yehong looked at him and said politely: "It's not that we are stingy. This flower is called 'Golden Branches and Jade Leaves'. It is priceless but extremely precious. But I didn't expect that you would destroy it as soon as we got here."
The corner of Xuan Pinghou's mouth sank slightly: "Then what are the prince's plans?"
"No! Just pay for a pot of the same one. If you don't take it out, don't even think about leaving today!"
Luo Chengwu blocked the way with a bold stance.
The entourage was angry: "It's already been half a day today, where can we find it for you..."
Marquis Xuanping stopped him and explained patiently: "We are pressed for time today. Why don't we wait for the man in charge to find the exact same flower and then take it to the post house and hand it over to the prince himself?"
"After the person was found? How long exactly? My prince just said that this flower is expensive and has a price but no market! Don't you understand? Could it be that you have been looking for it for a lifetime and we have to wait for a lifetime?"
The followers of Marquis Xuanping could no longer bear Luo Chengwu's continuous insults to the Marquis.
"Since you also know that this flower is precious, you should keep it at home and keep it, but you still hold this flower and walk through the city to a crowded place. Who knows if you bumped into our carriage on purpose and blackmailed us?"
Marquis Xuanping remained silent, he was also suspicious.
The people around him couldn't help but feel that it made sense when they heard this.
Is this person from Beiyan deliberately looking for trouble with ulterior motives?
Ji Changying had already curiously moved aside to look at the pot of broken and trampled flowers on the ground.
This flower is indeed a 'golden branch and jade leaf', also known as the purslane tree. It has thick branches, luxuriant flowers and leaves, and is dotted with pink and white flowers. It can be seen that it is indeed in good condition.
It's just a pity that the branches and leaves are withered now, the branches and leaves have been trampled off, and the root system has also been damaged.
But Ji Changying didn't believe that this flower was valuable.
Because this flower is not difficult to grow, as long as it is given enough environment, light and water, it can reproduce quickly.
But... I can't say that people in the capital have never seen it, because the environment in the capital is simply not suitable for the growth of this flower!
This flower always grows in a warm environment, which is exactly the same as the jasper vine that Beiyan took out.
It seems that the climate in Beiyan should be relatively warm.
She saw it but said nothing. Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with her.
Sure enough, Gong Yehong and Luo Chengwu sang in harmony, saying that Marquis Xuanping could not refute, after all, they were wrong first.
Marquis Xuanping told the people around him that he would give him a hundred taels of silver for anyone who could find the same flower for him in the flower market.
I didn’t expect that watching the excitement could be such a good thing!
Immediately, many people rushed to the flower market to find out if there were any pots called "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves".
The result is naturally obvious. Many people have never heard of it, let alone seen it.
But also because of this, more people know about the excitement here and rush here.
Gong Yehong stood there calmly and calmly: "If you don't believe me, Lord Marquis, you can search all over the capital, but if you can find the second one, I will give you my position as the prince."
When Marquis Xuanping heard that he was so sure, he was even more surprised and confused: "His Royal Highness, you know that I can't get it, but you still insist on me paying you compensation today. I don't know what you want?"
"I don't mean to embarrass you on purpose. Since the Marquis can't bring it out, let the prince do it! I heard that the prince is very favored by the emperor, and I think he is very capable. Within five days, I will either bring out a pot of the same thing. Yes, either take out a basin of equal value and play with it, otherwise don’t blame me for not showing mercy to the Marquis."
Marquis Xuanping's face was so gloomy that water dripped from his face.
Let him find the traitor?
dream!
But he wouldn't say it right now. He just got into the carriage with a dark face and ordered his entourage to leave quickly.
Luo Chengwu was a little dissatisfied: "Your Highness, you just let this guy go like this? You didn't even apologize! Looking at this coward, I really don't know what the eldest princess of Dali looked like! She actually fell in love with him..."
"Be careful what you say!" Gong Yehong gave him a sharp look and stopped him from saying anything else.
Luo Chengwu was a little angry, but kept his mouth shut.
Gong Yehong glanced at Zhou and Ji Changying who were standing aside to watch the excitement, twitched his lips and led them away without looking at the flowers on the ground again.
Seeing the mother and daughter, he thought of the Tianshan Snow Lotus, and his heart, liver, and lungs ached.
"Your Highness! Now that the flowers are ruined, and the Emperor of Dali has yet to reply, where can we find the person the old Taoist talks about? Could he be deceiving us?"
Even when they were far away, they could still hear Luo Chengwu's mumbling voice. Ji Changying lowered her head and looked at the pot of burnt flowers.
She picked it up.
Yanyun quickly bent down to help her. Zhou looked at it with some disgust: "Throw it away!"
Ji Changying smiled: "We can still save him, but we'll take him back first."
After hearing this, Yanyun paid more attention to it, carefully held it in her arms and followed Ji Changying to the shops on both sides.
In a carriage on the roadside.
Lai Xiao said with some annoyance: "Girl, it's my fault that I was a step too slow. The newly appointed Princess Hehua picked up the flower."
Cui Yanwu glanced at Ji Changying's back and lowered the car curtain: "Nothing, anyway, I was just curious and wanted to pick it up and have a look. Let's go."
Ji Changying and Zhou spent a long time shopping in this flower market, where most of the items sold were ancient pine, ancient cypress, ancient plum, and calamus.
Most of them pursue the state of simplicity and admire the beauty of nature.
Moreover, when it comes to matching basins, we should also pay attention to ancient elegance, and we must pay attention to "an elegant basin and a strange and steep stone".
