The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 137 Strawberry
While eating fried snails with a slightly strange taste but also a special flavor, while talking, the light and delicate carriage walked out of the city unconsciously.

Finally, it stopped in front of a yard with bamboo fences, gravel roads, and flowers.

An Xu walked down, bent down, and ordered a bunch of purple hyacinths. The plump hyacinths were like grapes. They had just been sprinkled with water, and they had the illusion of glistening in the sun.

An Xu didn't know the origin and history of some flowers, but he was surprised to see the hyacinth.

At this moment, a person came out from the main room, saw Zong Che, and said with a smile: "Master Zong hasn't been here for a long time, what kind of flowers do you need?"

Jin Dayong was originally a child of a rich family with the surname Jin in the city, but because of his unique hobbies, he loved planting flowers instead of studying. In the year of the imperial examination, because a flower delayed the admission time, the head of the Jin family was furious and kicked him out. house door.

However, hobbies will not disappoint people. It is such a skill of growing flowers that Jin Dayong gradually gained a foothold, and he is still famous in the noble family in the capital.

"Miss is looking at the Ziying Fairy," Jin Dayong walked out the door, introduced it to An Xu, and then said with a smile, "Miss Zong bought roses from me for the previous year's salary. One will be given to you."

An Xu smiled and said, "Can I go inside and have a look?"

"Of course." Jin Dayong turned sideways, motioning for them to invite first.

The front yard is full of camellias, peonies, and a few budding peonies. Most of them are gorgeous flowers with layers of flowers. In the back yard, there are more strange ones.

There are not only roses taller than people, but also humble roadside flowers.

Red, yellow, purple, and even green.

In the flowers in the backyard, there are a few boys and maids who are tending the flowers. Seeing the master bringing someone in, they all consciously avoid it.

There is a clump of orchids specially raised, and Jin Dayong said that he raised them himself. The two plants with light green flowers were dug by himself in the deep mountains dozens of miles away from the capital.

An Xu doesn't understand these elegant orchids, he just thinks they look good, and the other value is gone, and he is going to look at others when his eyes stop on a round leaf.

In the core of the leaves, there are small white flowers protruding from the stems.

"Where did this come from?" An Xu asked.

But the surprise in her words was too obvious, Jin Dayong was a little surprised, and then he still smiled and said: "A kind of flower and plant that can bear fruit, I will take people to the sea boat at the pier every month to find fresh flower seeds. One of the sailors on the ship brought it, and I bought it. I was worried about the need for careful maintenance, but who would have planted it here, and it turns out that a large piece of it is released every year, and I am about to remove it.”

An Xu immediately said, "Sell it all to me."

This is a strawberry!

The strawberry jam, strawberry jelly, strawberry cake, and strawberry mille-feuille that she has been thinking about day and night can all be realized immediately.

Jin Dayong was funny, girls who usually come to the backyard like those gorgeous flowers, but this girl really likes a bunch of wild flowers and grass.

"It's worthless." Jin Dayong is an honest person, "The fruit it produces is also a small one, not as delicious as raspberries."

Zong Che said directly: "Let's make a price."

Jin Dayong smiled and said, "Okay, if it's only one or two plants, I'll let you take them away."

"That's not going to happen." An Xu was very happy, "Such a good thing, you have to buy it."

Jin Dayong didn't care if they liked it, so he charged a high price, saying: "For such a piece, one tael of silver, let's treat it as the hard-earned money of these boys and girls in my family."

An Xu paid the money right away, but Zong Che had already untied his purse first, put a small two-liang ingot on the stone table not far away, and said, "Please trouble us with some flower pots."

Jin Dayong smiled and said, "No problem."

"Now these are mine, can I pick the grass and the fruits on them first?" An Xu asked.

"Miss, whatever you want." Jin Dayong said, "I'll find some bigger flower pots."

As soon as he left, An Xu asked Zong Che to help.

Zong Che then asked in a low voice: "Is this food delicious?"

An Xu glanced at him and said with a smile: "You know me now, it's delicious."

As he spoke, he picked up a strawberry with his finger and looked at it, then shook his head and said, "But without better care, these strawberries are too small."

However, if she remembers correctly, the origin of strawberries is in South America.Could it be that Ming's seagoing ships can go to South America now?
"Strawberry?" Zong Che said with a smile, "The name is appropriate."

Seeing how happy you are, is it your favorite food before?

An Xu reminded: "What are you looking at me for? Help pick it up."

After a while, two or three boys came over with flowerpots in their arms, and the one who walked in front said: "Lord Zong, and this young lady, there are people coming to treat orchids ahead, and our master can't get away for a while, so he asked us to come and help." Transplant."

"Okay," An Xu made room for them, "I picked it up, you guys move it again."

"Yes," the boy replied, looked at the strawberry An Xu picked and held in one hand, and said, "Miss, this fruit has to grow red to be sweet."

An Xu smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll add sugar and cook it when I get home."

This small strawberry has a strong strawberry fragrance.

Just thinking about it, I heard a boy say: "Occasionally, our master will pick a plate of this fruit and put it in the house, which can refresh the room."

"Thank you for reminding me." An Xu put all the small strawberries that he couldn't hold in his hand into the skirt, and continued to pick them with one hand, "The ones I plant will bear big fruits in the future, please eat them."

It was the first time for the boys to see such an unassuming lady, and they were a little flattered when they heard the words. After thanking them, they dared not speak any more, and honestly transplanted those green strawberries.

In fact, they have seen many ladies and wives with gentle smiles, but no one has ever spoken in such a tone that you and I are the same.

Therefore, each strawberry is transplanted very carefully from the ground to the pot.

----

After Jin Dayong inspected the pot of Clivia on the table, he took down a small white pot from the shelf by the wall, handed it to the woman, and said: "From now on, use this potion every morning and drip it into the soil. The white spots should disappear within a few days."

"Thank you, Mr. Jin," the woman said with a smile.

The maid beside her handed out a purse, "Mr. Jin please accept it."

Jin Dayong accepted it with a smile, and said, "Miss Shuangping, do you want to go to the backyard to see? There are a few new pots of molan."

Shuangping turned around, tugged at the sleeve of the man beside her, and said coquettishly, "You come with me."

"This one is easy to feed, and next year we will have a big shed."

The sound from far to near outside caused the expression of the man who had been expressionless just now to change slightly. Shen Xiao looked at the door of the room, wanting to hide, but didn't want to walk away.

"Husband," Shuangping tugged at Shen Xiao's sleeve again.

He suddenly trembled all over, and slammed her hand away.

An Xu and Zong Che were holding a large bowl of strawberries. Although they had already paid the bill, they still wanted to come over to say hello to the owner, not expecting that there was an acquaintance at the door.

When An Xu saw Shen Xiao, the weak and beautiful woman beside her, and the pot of orchids on the table, he suddenly wanted to laugh.

It turned out that Shen Xiao's impression of "cowardly" and "mother" on her was inaccurate. In front of a weak woman who needs to rely on him completely, he can still look like a man.

husband?

Did she hear correctly just now, this man really married a brothel woman.

Courage is commendable, you have to gamble your future, right?

Before, An Xu told the magpies and partridges that he was tolerant and generous, but when he saw such a scene today, he felt an inexplicable feeling of jealousy in his heart.

I heard a saying in my previous life that all successful men like to marry that kind of beautiful and lovely little girl.

Independent and self-reliant women are not favored by successful men. An Xu didn't believe it at all at the time. She thought it was a lie, a lie that taught women to consciously retreat back to the feudal era when they could only rely on men to live.

Because she is also considered a successful person, she can't bear her other half, who is an idiot with appearances and insides. She doesn't believe that a successful man who is also a human being is different from a woman.

Can a beautiful but empty "flower" satisfy them?

But now it seems that the sayings of people in the previous life are not necessarily all false.

Isn't there another saying?From the age of 20 to the age of 80, 20, men will always like fresh and tender [-]-year-old women.

This is the nature, and the people I liked have not escaped this nature.

An Xu felt a little nauseous, his eyes swept away from Shen Xiao, he said something to Jin Dayong, then turned and left.

Zong Che looked at Shen Xiao, then at the woman beside him, nodded with a smile, and praised: "Master Shen, you are the first in the capital to be able to abandon everything just for beauty."

Her strange eyes made Shen Xiao's heart ache for a moment. Hearing this, he looked at Zong Che coldly, and said, "Gloating at other people's misfortune, when did Master Zong stop being so careless?"

Zong Che raised his eyebrows, and when he wanted to say something, An Xu's voice came from outside, "Zong Che, are you leaving?"

"Come right away," he quickly agreed, and then said to Shen Xiao with a smile and apology: "I don't dare to keep my fiancée waiting, we will talk later when we have a chance."

"Husband, you"

"Who told you to call me that?"

Before Shuangping's words fell to the ground, she was stopped by Shen Xiao. Seeing his sad eyes, she didn't know how to breathe for a moment.

She knew from the very beginning that he didn't have her in his heart at all, but she never thought that the once intimate relationship between them would soon become a stranger.

Jin Dayong, an outsider who eats melons all the time, feels a little embarrassed for Miss Shuangping. Who would have thought that she would be able to get rid of the embarrassment quickly, reached out to hold Shen Xiao's hand, and said softly: "Don't be angry, I know wrong."

Jin Dayong: ... As expected, there is no simple woman in the brothel.
