Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 98 Flower Seeds
Wan Bingguang was appreciating the paintings. He had a habit of going to the study every time he finished his meal. If he couldn't see those treasured paintings, he seemed to be unable to digest them, but he felt happy after seeing them. Stomach smooth.

"Uncle, Xiaoyu is here." Zhang Zhuoyu knocked on the door.

Wan Bingguang let the two of them in.

Du Xiaoyu gave him a blessing, and he was pleased with it.

Wan Bingguang was surprised to hear that she even talked about planting herbs, and asked, "Do you want to grow honeysuckle?"

"Yes, I have been observing for more than a year. First, I dug them from the mountain and transplanted them. Later, I found that they could survive, so I took some cuttings. But this year, I found that the honeysuckle from the cuttings did not bloom. Master Wan, do you know what's going on? "

"You are a careful girl." Wan Bingguang smiled, "This honeysuckle is not easy to grow. Although people have been trying to grow herbs for nearly a hundred years, honeysuckle is different from others. It takes three years to bloom. You Those dug from the mountains are old enough to bloom naturally, and others have to wait for another two years, so most people are unwilling to plant them.”

As expected, Du Xiaoyu frowned, "However, the price of honeysuckle is quite high, three years is actually not a long time, and it blooms several times a year, which is much better than other herbs. "

"I'm impatient." Wan Bingguang smiled, "People are greedy for immediate benefits. Three years can be said to be long or short. If there is a feng shui storm, wouldn't the previous two years be wasted?"

What she said made sense, Du Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "But I still want to give it a try." She paused, "Master Wan, do you know where the honeysuckle seeds are sold?"

Wan Bingguang looked at her and said, "Little girl, do you really want to grow?"

With a suspicious tone, Du Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Master Wan, don't underestimate me. Most of the time, I take care of the cold melon patch by myself. Besides, although I am young, I have read a lot of agricultural books."

Zhang Zhuoyu also said aside, "Yes, uncle, she also raises rabbits, Xiaoyu is very capable."

Hearing his support, Du Xiaoyu gave him a grateful smile.

Wan Bingguang thought about it for a while, and thought to himself that the three children of the Du family are really powerful. The eldest daughter heard from his wife that her understanding is very good, and she is more thorough than any student in Suzhou embroidery in the past. Thinking that this youngest daughter is still capable of farming, after hearing what she said just now, she can see that she is quite ambitious.

I also want to be the first to grow honeysuckle, really newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!

"Are you really not afraid that the previous two years have been for nothing?" He asked again.

"It's a waste of money. There is a saying that failure is the mother of success. If you don't experience these, how can you accumulate experience? So I'm not afraid of not doing well."

"Okay, failure is the mother of success, that's a good saying!" Wan Bingguang's eyes flickered, wondering how many detours he had to start his medicinal business back then?

There is no such thing as a pie in the sky in this world!

"Little girl, I will provide you with the seeds of honeysuckle," Wan Bingguang encouraged her, "You have to plant them well, and it will become a fruit in the future. Our pharmacy has full rights to buy it, and you will earn a lot of money!"

Du Xiaoyu was overjoyed, stretched his hands to his chest, pressed his right hand against his left, and bowed his knees to salute, "Thank you, Master Wan."

Wan Bingguang stroked his beard and smiled, "The seeds will be delivered later, anyway, they will be planted in the spring of next year."

After coming out of the study, Du Xiaoyu breathed out a sigh of relief, and a worried look slowly appeared on his face. The big talk just now was really too self-confident, and it is still unknown whether it can be planted or not.

"Zhuoyu, do you think I can plant it well?" She whispered, a little like talking to herself.

The golden sun is jumping on her eyelashes, which I haven’t seen for some time. She has grown a lot taller, and her hair has grown too, but it’s not like those girls in the county who like to comb their hair in various buns, nor like the girls in the village. Tie it with a headband, but put the upper part of the hair into a ponytail, and then fall straight down, just like those knights, looking heroic and bright.

She is always so energetic, if the cousin is like the moon, she is like a big sun!
Zhang Zhuoyu laughed slowly, "Of course you have planted well, it seems that my uncle is willing to give you seeds."

"Then I will take your word for it."

"At that time, I will help you find out if there is a suitable book."

Du Xiaoyu clapped his hands, "Okay, that's what I mean too!"

The two walked towards the main room, halfway she said, "Where is my eldest sister in Hongxiufang? It's been a long time, I'm going to see her."

Speaking of Du Huanghua, Zhang Zhuoyu's face changed slightly, and he turned his face slightly and said, "Yes, yes..."

He hesitated, Du Xiaoyu felt strange, "Where is it?"

"You, you'd better not see Sister Huang Hua." Zhang Zhuoyu lowered his head and whispered, "Sister Huang Hua said, she, she is very busy, and she will go home after this time."

Actually avoiding her gaze, isn't that a ghost in his heart?How could Du Xiaoyu believe that she also understood Zhang Zhuoyu's character, he was a very honest and upright person, not used to lying, what he said now was obviously not what he wanted to say!

"Are you hiding something?" Du Xiaoyu stared at him, "Where is my sister? The bedroom?" As she said that, she walked in that direction. She remembered that she came back once.

"Little fish!" Zhang Zhuoyu shouted behind her, "Sister Huang Hua is injured."

"What?" Du Xiaoyu asked anxiously, "Where did you get hurt?"

"Hand, it was burned." Zhang Zhuoyu sighed, "She is afraid that her family will worry that I will hide it from you, senior brother. Hey, I messed up this matter, and Sister Huanghua will definitely blame me."

"Aren't you afraid I'll blame you if it's done?" Du Xiaoyu grinned, "It's okay, I'll go find my sister alone, if I don't tell her, you go and tell my father, yes, my father's there Don't reveal this." Then he left.

The door to the side room over there was closed, Du Xiaoyu walked to the door, calmed down before reaching out to knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Du Huanghua asked inside.

"It's me, sister, open the door quickly."

The inside immediately became quiet, and then there was a rattling sound, and something was knocked over, and then there was another rustling sound, and then the door opened, revealing a slightly nervous face.

"Ah, Xiaoyu, why are you here?" Du Huanghua smiled, but blocked the door.

"He's here to sell cold melons." Du Xiaoyu said strangely, "Sister, what are you doing standing at the door, you won't let me in, it's rare to come here, but you want to drive me away?"

Cut off what she wanted to say directly, Du Huanghua had no choice but to step aside.

Du Xiaoyu looked at her, and saw that she was wearing a light white top with wide sleeves, and the belt was not fastened. She thought it was changed in a hurry just now, so as to cover her injured hands.

She didn't know why she was so secretive, she was even more surprised, she sat down and poured a bowl of herbal tea by herself.

"Is the family okay?" Du Huanghua asked, "Is it very busy? Don't make parents tired."

"Well, I know, I invite Uncle Quan to come when I'm busy. My father and mother are in good health." Du Xiaoyu took two sips of tea and asked, "How is my sister's embroidery learning? My mother was still there last time." Ask, although the three-year contract mother has accepted, but I still hope that the eldest sister can complete her studies earlier."

Du Huanghua didn't answer immediately, but said after a while, "Master is going to teach me double-sided embroidery."

"Oh?" Du Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes. Could it be that she hurt her hand at this time because Mrs. Wan wanted to teach her double-sided embroidery?But which one who learns embroidery doesn't cherish his hands, and Du Huanghua is always cautious in doing things, and people are cautious, how could he hurt his own hands?

That's right, there must be a special reason for her to hide it!

"Sister, you are really amazing. You are worthy of being my good sister. I heard that not everyone can learn double-sided embroidery even if they are Mrs. Wan's disciples." Du Xiaoyu walked up to Du Huanghua and held her hand. Hand said, "Oh, I have to see these skillful hands no matter what!"

This action was so sudden that Du Huanghua was startled, and hurriedly wanted to hide her hands, but Du Xiaoyu had already opened her sleeves, and her right hand was wrapped in a circle of white gauze.

"What's going on here!" It's so big, it's more serious than she imagined, Du Xiaoyu said in surprise, "Sister, why are you injured? Does it hurt?" His skin was all red, and he didn't know what was going on inside.

"It's okay, the doctor has taken the medicine and it's much better." Du Huanghua withdrew her hand.

"But how did it hurt?" Du Xiaoyu looked at her.

Du Huanghua pursed her lips, and said with a wry smile, "I got burned when pouring water. Hey, I was so clumsy that I accidentally spilled it on my hand."

"You lied to me!" Du Xiaoyu frowned, "Did someone else make it? Is it that sister Rong?" Even if you were scalded by pouring water, it wouldn't be that big, as if the water in the entire teapot was poured on it Yes, how is this possible!

It's really pouring by itself, as long as it splashes a little, it will stop, and it's not a fool!

"No, I did it myself." Du Huanghua raised her head and smiled, "It'll be fine in a few days. It looks serious, but it's actually getting better quickly, as the doctors say."

Du Xiaoyu felt a lump of air stuck in his chest and was uncomfortable, unable to say anything, he just stared at Du Huanghua.

After being bullied like this and still hiding it, what kind of brat is it!
"Go back quickly, it's getting late, dad is still waiting, right?" Du Huanghua urged, and then warned, "Don't let your parents know about this, lest they worry for nothing."

Seeing her gentle gaze like the setting sun, Du Xiaoyu's heart softened again. Yes, this is her sister who never wants to drag anyone down. She sighed secretly and said softly, "Is it really good? I will return to you in the future." Can embroider things? Don't lie to me."

"Master invited the best doctor in the county to see it," Du Huanghua comforted her, "Master will still lie to me?"

"Okay then, I won't tell mom and dad." Du Xiaoyu gently stroked her arm, "Sister, take good care of your wounds, and I'll come see you again in a few days."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and went out with a sullen face. She knew that even if she asked again, Du Huanghua would definitely not tell the truth.
