The girl who wears fast

Chapter 53 The Prime Minister's Tool Man Stepwife (53)

Xu Shichu nodded: "Yes, it took me a long time to grow it. If you want to grow it, Mrs. Hou, you'd better send someone to Java to find it yourself, but I heard that this Chambord fruit is also very precious and rare in Java. Fruit trees, it’s not easy to get them.”

Mrs. Hou was suddenly lost: "Is it so difficult to get it? Sure enough, good things are hard-won. I don't have a long-distance caravan. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Java to find trees."

Suddenly, her mind turned and an idea popped up, and she asked Xu Shichu expectantly: "Aren't you bearing fruit? Then if we use the seeds of the fruit to plant it? Can it be fed?"

Xu Shichu shook his head: "I don't know either."

In fact, if it is in Xu Shichu's accompanying space, the seeds of chambord fruit can germinate and grow. This is how many chambord fruit trees grow in her space, but if they are planted in the native land of this dynasty, then she doesn't know that the seeds can grow. She couldn't live anymore, after all, it took her a lot of thought to survive the fruit tree she moved out by herself.

Madam Hou was disappointed when she heard this, but it was also expected: "After all, it is not a native fruit tree, and there are some acclimatization. Hey, it seems that if you want to eat, you can only rely on this one."

Xu Shichu said generously: "My tree bears a lot of fruit, if you want to eat it, I'll give you some."

"It would be great if I could eat such a wonderful fruit all year round. I don't need to wear fragrance powder and bring a sachet. I can smell good on my body every day." Mrs. Hou said with a look of longing.

Xu Shichu nodded: "Indeed, if the chambord fruit bears fruit all year round, then my incense can be saved. The royal family and nobles of Java all use this fruit as our incense, and it's natural. Fragrant fragrance, fragrance wherever you go, it is the best natural mobile fragrance body that everyone wants."

"Hey, why doesn't this tree grow here in our native land?" Mrs. Hou felt very regretful.

Xu Shichu smiled and said, "There are so many good things in the world, so it's impossible for them to all be here, right? Of course, we also have good things that other countries don't have here. Thinking about it this way, don't you think it's much more fair?"

"That's true." Mrs. Hou said, and then she asked enthusiastically, "Where is your chambord fruit tree planted? I want to see it."

"It's just behind my yard. I'll take you to see it. In fact, it looks similar to other fruit trees, so there's nothing unusual about it." Xu Shichu said.

"Auntie, I'm going too!" Xiao Zhaozhao, who was playing with the building blocks that Xu Shichu had made for him, also joined in the excitement and said, and immediately rushed over to hold Xu Shichu's hand.

"You are the most active in eating, snack foodie." Xu Shichu poked his little head and said.

Xiao Zhaozhao hid away with a smile, and Mrs. Hou looked at the three cute chubby boys with jade and snowy eyes, and couldn't help but said: "You little nephew looks really painful."

"It hurts people when they are sensible and obedient, but it's a headache when they are mischievous. The tricks in my yard have done him a lot of tricks. Sometimes I really want to beat him a few times." Xu Shichu rubbed the chubby chubby. said with a pouty face.

"Aren't all children like this?" Mrs. Hou, who has a lot of experience in raising children, said with a smile.

The two came to the chambord fruit tree while talking and laughing.

The fruit tree is big and straight, standing upright against the sky, with a height of three feet, with luxuriant branches and leaves, full of vitality, and one can tell that it is a very healthy tree at a glance.

"It's so tall!" Madam Hou, who was seeing such a tall tree for the first time, raised her head high and exclaimed.

"It hasn't grown to its tallest yet. I heard that the tree is six or seven feet tall." Xu Shichu said.

At this time, Xiao Zhaozhao had already shaken off Xu Shichu's hand, walked to the fruit tree with short legs, tiptoed and raised his hands high, trying to pick off the Chambord fruit hanging from the tree trunk.

It's a pity that he is small and short, even if he stands on tiptoe, he can't reach the fruit that is not tall. His little face is flushed with anxiety, but he keeps trying and refuses to give up.

Zhen'anhou's head was so sore that he lowered his head to rub his neck, and saw Xiao Zhaozhao eagerly reaching out to pick the fruit.

"Oh, little guy, just let the servant girl pick it for you...God, Mrs. Luo, why do these fruits grow on the trunk instead of the branches?"

Madam Hou asked in shock after seeing the position of Director Shampoo.

"This is one of its characteristics." Xu Shichu said.

Mrs. Hou immediately understood: "I understand. After all, its juice can make people smell fragrant. Why is it impossible for the fruit to grow on the trunk?"

Xu Shichu asked the maid to move the wooden ladder to pick the fruit. Mrs. Hou wanted to experience the fun of picking the fruit herself, but Xu Shichu said that she didn't know how to judge the ripeness of the fruit, so she refused her.

The maid picked two or three baskets of Chambord fruit, and Xu Shichu gave one basket to Madam Hou. Madam Hou beamed with joy, but she didn't take advantage of Xu Shichu, and gave her a lot of jewelry in return.

Xu Shichu wanted to refuse at first, after all, this fruit is not too rare for her, a lot of uneaten ones in her accompanying space fell to the ground and rotted, and the only one planted in her yard made her feel like a fruit. She planted it so well, the fruit grew one after another, so much that she even sent the maids and servants in her yard to try it out.

After Madam Hou learned that all her servants had to eat, her heart ached like something: "Why are you so stupid and generous, why don't you sell them for auction like your rare and exotic plants? I'm sure some people are flocking to them! How many people You can't get what you want, but you are like pies!"

When Xu Shichu was said so by her, he quickly said: "I only have this kind of tree that I used for tooth-making sacrifices. Although there are many fruits, it is far from enough to sell. It is only enough to give the servants a taste. After all, I The flowers, fruits, grasses and trees in the yard are all taken care of by them."

Madam Hou looked at her with complicated eyes: "You are a kind master."

Madam Hou left Xiangfu with a basket of fruit contentedly.

Xu Shichu didn't take this matter to heart, after all, it was just a trivial matter, just sending some novel fruits to friends to try.

Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Zhen'an and his wife didn't tell the rarity of the chambord fruit, but the soldiers who had witnessed the marquis of Zhen'an's sweating smelled it as a rare thing, and then it attracted the attention of those who cared.

Of course, the doubts of the soldiers also spread from why Zhen'an Hou was sweating fragrantly to what kind of fruit he ate that made people feel fragrant.

In all kinds of gossip, curiosity, doubts, shock or doubts, the existence of chambord fruit was picked up—even in this era when the news transmission was not fast and accurate enough, the reason for the abnormality that Zhen'anhou had witnessed that day was because of what he witnessed. Too many people were scouted out.
