Fair Lady

Nangong Miao was still in the backyard, Nangong Yi did not leave in a hurry, but sat chatting with Prince Jing and Marquis Weiyuan in the living room.It's almost the end of the year, and the Nangong family has another five large ships that are going back to Dazhou from the west. The goods on the ships are the first choice for the rich and noble families in Beijing to prepare their own New Year's Eve and give New Year's gifts.

The Nangong family has strong strength, purchasing funds, security capabilities, storage and preservation facilities, etc. are not easily accessible by other families, and there are many buyers who are proficient in purchasing foreign goods. Therefore, even now, there are several other caravans involved in shipping. But it can't shake the absolute position of the Nangong family in this field.

"Second son, what kind of roses are you talking about, you have to leave some for me, um, I heard it looks like our big Zhou rose." King Jing is a real happy prince, he doesn't care about political affairs, he loves exotic flowers and exotic plants .

King Jing is the uncle of the current emperor. When the former emperor died and the court situation was in chaos, Prince Yong supported the prince at that time. The other princes were waiting to see, some leaned towards the queen mother, and some favored the prince. In the entire capital, there is only one word: danger.

At that time, King Jing was holding the [-] troops closest to the capital. There were not many people, but it became the key to the struggle between the two sides at that critical moment.King Jing finally chose the prince, who is the current emperor, and made a lot of contributions to the emperor's smooth enthronement.

Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, King Jing resolutely handed over the military power to the emperor, resigned from all affairs of the court, and became the prince of Xiaoyao.The emperor couldn't resist, and didn't insist any more, just said: "You will always be my Eighth Emperor Uncle." You can inherit the title of "virtuous king", hereditary fief, and enjoy the prince's salary forever."

The virtuous king's fief is in the south, and the virtuous king, who already loves flowers and plants, is like a fish in water, devoting his time and energy to all kinds of flowers, especially the precious camellias.

In the past few years, the emperor suddenly felt tired for some reason.Started to envy King Jing's leisurely life, and recruited him back to Beijing.

Da Zhou always advocated planting flowers. Even ordinary people who worry about three meals a day would plant some unknown and free flowers of various colors in their yards, or in front of and behind their houses.

Not to mention rich and noble families, "fighting flowers" are indispensable to show off their wealth and compare their wealth. There are not a few rare species of peonies, camellias, orchids and other precious flowers in the mansion. .This is also the reason why a big flower grower like Zhang Caishu can make a fortune. Some precious flower seeds are really hard to find.

The emperor is no exception, he also likes flowers, when he is bored, he will suddenly go to King Jing's mansion to stay in the flower garden with King Jing for an hour, or call King Jing into the palace.Listen to him talk about the Sutra of Growing Flowers, in order to "dilute" the troubles brought to him by those state affairs and family affairs.The emperor likes roses.So King Jing ordered Western roses from the Nangong caravan, and now he has repeatedly explained to Nangong Yi.

Nangong Yi knew that this Xiaoyao prince was keen on exotic flowers and plants, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I have specially arranged for him to prepare a separate copy, and I will prepare more to prevent damage. By the way, our When the caravan passed through a place called 'Asia', they also found a beautiful flower called tulip. There is only one flower on the top of each branch. The flower is big and gorgeous. This time our people will also bring back some tulips .But I’m afraid it will be difficult to support them in our Great Zhou, especially in the north.”

Marquis Weiyuan hurriedly "joined in the fun": "So, Second Young Master, you have to get me two plants too."

King Jing was full of interest: "Don't be afraid of difficult raising, think about it slowly, we have Youzhi (Zhang Caishu's words) and Brother Jie, you should help me because of it. Although you are good at raising camellias, but raising camellias Flowers still have something in common, the key is that we need to know the climate, water, and soil conditions where those flowers are used to grow. Speaking of which, the "Growing Vegetables in a Greenhouse" produced by the Weiyuan Houfu gave us a lot of inspiration for growing flowers. Well, when the time comes, we will study together."

Nangong Yi said with a smile: "Speaking of growing flowers, Lord Jing is really knowledgeable. The most rare thing is that he dabbles in all kinds of flowers, which makes people feel ashamed."

Zhang Caishu also said: "That's right, I'm just good at cultivating camellias. The purpose of trading is too simple and too utilitarian. When it comes to growing flowers and loving flowers, I admire two people, one is you, the prince, and the other It's my nephew, Brother Jie."

Nangong Yi was surprised: "Oh? Mr. Xia is capable of literature and martial arts, which is rare. I didn't expect that he is also good at growing flowers." Da Zhou admired flowers, and people who are good at growing flowers are considered "elegant" in the eyes of others. Flower farmers and businessmen are more elegant than ordinary farmers and businessmen.

King Jing smiled and took over the words: "Isn't it? The younger generation is awesome! The child followed his uncle to help, and the skill of growing flowers is not inferior to his uncle." King Jing already knew that the eighteen bachelors were from Shujie, and he also knew that Shujie He is good at cultivating camellias, and most of the camellias that Yunyuan takes special care of every month are from Shujie.However, he promised to keep Shujie secret, so that Shujie would not be disturbed frequently before the exam and could not concentrate on preparing for the exam.

Prince Jing is a true flower lover, so naturally he especially cherishes the talent who is good at growing flowers, and when he sees Shujie, he likes him very much. Like a carefree old man, he circles around flowers all day long?

It just so happened that Shujie came back with Jin Xida to see off the guests, and when he heard King Jing praised him, he said with a smile: "My lord is too famous, Shujie is still learning from my uncle. Mr. Nangong, my younger brother has already gone to inform Miss Nangong, you may have to come again." Wait for a while, my brother and sister have no time to talk to Miss Nangong today, I am so anxious, I am worried that Miss Nangong will go back first. Hehe, you don’t know, every time my brother and sister write letters to Miss Nangong, they always write a letter. I don’t know if they have so much to say when they wrote to my elder brother?”

"Hahahaha" Several people laughed, and Jin Xida punched Shujie in a funny way: "You kid, are you still eating? Yao'er and Wen'er are the most clingy to you, okay?"

"Haha" Marquis Wei Yuan laughed and said, "Wen Jun, this sounds like you, a foster father, do you like it?"

Nangong Yi also smiled and said: "My sister and Ling's younger siblings are also really hits, and there are quite a few cousins ​​and cousins ​​at my own age, so I don't see her being so caring. What interesting things do you see? I hurriedly collected it and kept it. This person is really a fate. But your twin siblings are really gratifying, smart and well-behaved, I like them both."
