Next, Li Sanzhu went to the brick kiln workshop in the town to order the green bricks and tiles, agreed on the date, and then met with the master craftsman who built the house to discuss the details. If nothing else, he should be at home tomorrow to help build the house. .
Seeing Li Sanzhu starting to build the house step by step, Li Qiusui put down his hands and stopped worrying. After lunch, he and Zheng Ying got on two carriages one after another and returned to Zheng's house along the same route.
…
…
In the Zheng family in Fucheng, sisters Zheng Yuan woke up from a nap at noon and stayed in Mrs. Zheng's room, refusing to leave.
There is a pot of orchids placed on the desk next to the window lattice, the same pot that Li Qiusui gave to Zheng Ying. Logically speaking, the orchids were placed in Zheng Ying's study, and Qingyun was responsible for taking care of them. Why did they end up in Mrs. Zheng's room?
This started the day after they left.
Zheng Yuan had nothing to do, so she went to Zheng Ying's study to find a book to kill time. When she saw the pot of orchids, she was attracted by the elegant appearance of the flowers. I met Zheng Yan and talked to her. Zheng Yan didn't calm down and immediately ran over to take a look. In the end, the flower moved to Mrs. Zheng's room.
Mrs. Zheng sent a message yesterday asking them to return home today, and Zheng Yan also knew about this. She had the intention not to return the orchid, and had been pestering her mother since yesterday.
"Have you completed all the homework assigned by Mr. Zheng today?" Mrs. Zheng asked Zheng Yan.
Zheng Yan chuckled, "Didn't I say that Brother Ying and Sui Sui will go home today? I'll wait for them at your place."
When the two of them returned home, they would definitely come to their mother first. She would definitely be waiting for someone here, and she even made a high-sounding excuse, "Song Lin came home to express his gratitude. I still don't know about this! When I meet someone, I can give my entrustment to someone." said."
Mrs. Zheng could still see Zheng Yan's plan, "I can't calm down at all! Please return the orchids first and apologize to Brother Ying. Okay, it's still early for them to get home. Let's go back with my sister and finish their homework." .”
Mrs. Zheng doted on her daughter, but she would not let her run wild. If you like something belonging to your own family, you can't just take it for yourself.
Zheng Yan was still reluctant to move.
Mrs. Zheng had no choice but to say, "If we arrive early, I will help you. Didn't Qingyun say there are orchids at Suisui? You go and discuss with her to see if you can share a pot with her."
Qingyun told Li Qiusui that he asked Qingheng to go out to sell orchids, and naturally he also told him that there were orchids in the back room.
Selling orchids was not a shameful thing, and Li Qiusui didn't ask anyone to keep it a secret. She is not at Zheng's house, so it is not convenient for Zheng Yuan and Zheng Yan to rush to see her.
"Mom, please help me have a nice talk with Brother Ying." Zheng Yan still didn't want to give up Zheng Ying's pot.
Mrs. Zheng's face darkened, "Sister Yan, you should know what to do and what not to do! Those are my brother's things. As a sister, you can ask for them."
Brother Ying can naturally refuse.
Zheng Yan stuck out her tongue. Of course she understood the truth. She had no intention of forcing him to stay. She just wanted her mother to help with a word. Qingyun said that the quality of the remaining orchids in Suisui is not as good as Brother Ying's pot. At the last poetry recital, the Moju cultivated by Miss Gong’s sixth daughter stole the show! Gong Liu never wanted to deal with him. At the poetry meeting a few days later, he heard that Gong Liu had cultivated another pot of peonies. When she saw this pot of orchid, she didn't want to rob it, but wanted to borrow it to make the arrogant Gong Liu feel depressed.
Zheng Yuan and her sister go out together and go in together, so they naturally know that she and Gong Liu are not at odds with each other.
…
…
Li Qiusui has already walked most of the way here.
When she was bored on the way, she opened the purse that Liu gave her and looked at it.
It’s the one given by Zheng Ying.
Taking a closer look, the gold, peanut and silver dumplings inside were intact. She knew that the family had used the money inside, and it must have been added later.
Back to Zheng's house, first go to Mrs. Zheng's yard.
Li Qiusui followed Zheng Ying and saluted Mrs. Zheng, calling her "aunt".
Zheng Ying called Ms. Liu her aunt, but she didn't see her mother smiling all day long! He almost didn't regard him as his biological son. You should learn from others.
Mrs. Zheng looked at her son's high-spirited look and narrowed her eyes with a smile.
He asked the two of them to sit down and asked Li Qiusui first, "Suisui, how are your family members? Did Brother Ying call your mother aunt? Can he please your mother?"
Li Qiusui nodded, "It's all good! My cousin is humble and polite, and my parents have been praising him all day long."
Let’s just call him cousin Zheng Ying!
"That's good, he should be like this, how can it be like that!"
Mrs. Zheng and Li Qiu Sui were talking lively. Zheng Ying sat on the other side, taking the tea made by the maid and covering up the twitching corners of his mouth with the gesture of drinking tea.
I heard Mrs. Zheng finally say something useful, "Take a day off tomorrow, and then go to school with Sister Yuan and Sister Yan the day after tomorrow!"
Li Qiusui nodded, and before he could speak, Zheng Yuan and his sisters entered the room.
Li Qiu Sui stood up, and before she could salute, Zheng Yan trotted closer, holding her hand and shaking her, "Sui Sui, you can raise such good orchids, why didn't you say anything! You don't know that Gong Liu knows How proud she is of having a little skill in growing flowers! Every poetry gathering shows off her ability. Mo Ju last time, but this time she heard that peonies were going to be displayed again, but her ability was ruined!"
Li Qiu Sui was baffled by the crackling words.
Zheng Yuan, who had just walked closer, explained, "Gong Liu is the sixth lady of the Gong family. She is very famous among the girls in Yinzhou City for her skill in growing flowers. She is about the same age as Sister Yan, and Sister Yan is still there. When they were younger, the two of them disliked each other. The pot of orchid you gave Brother Ying, with its obvious flower and leaf arrangement, is a rare and rare item. Sister Yan used it to keep Miss Gong away from the breeze. "
Zheng Yan's eyes rolled, "Suisui, why don't you go to the poetry meeting with us and let those who are ignorant see who is the real master of flower cultivation."
Poetry Club, as the name suggests, is about composing poems.
Li Qiusui waved his hands repeatedly, "If you don't go, I can't write poetry."
She really doesn't have that much talent. Plant flowers, raise vegetables, and at the same time practice supernatural powers, compose poems without eating, drinking, and suffer the consequences.
Zheng Yan laughed, "I can't write poetry either! We are destined to be good sisters."
She only became enemies with Gong Liu because she couldn't write poetry. Gong Liu raised the best flowers for everyone to see and write poems to praise them. Every time she went back, she would treat herself as an outsider, with a handful of melon seeds and a cup of tea, and watch everyone compete in the show with a smile. She didn't bother anyone by doing this, but Gong Liu couldn't stand it. She planted flowers with her own hands and wrote brilliant poems. What do you mean by sitting here?
Li Qiusui rolled his eyes. Then why don't you go to poetry gatherings? Others go there just to show off themselves, and you just go there to join in the fun.
"Being good sisters is a thing."
Let's go to shame with you, forget it!
