Chapter 510: Planting Flowers
"What are you talking about?" Lu Feifei took the orchid with a blushing smile, and grabbed a handful of soil with a suitable humidity that had been prepared with her right hand. She gently pinched the orchid into the mud. After being pinched into shape, she threw it to A Xue. A Xue took it casually and put the formed orchid in the dug hole. Carefully put the old grass on the lace and put the fresh flowers and plants in the center of the pothole. Then add mud with the right hand, and lifted the orchid a little to naturally stretch the roots. Then add soil while shaking the basin to make the soil and roots closely contact. Then press the soil around the stem with your hands, and finally make the basin look a bit steamed bun-shaped (that is, the middle is slightly lower). A layer of moss or fine stones are laid on it. After doing these, Lu Chuchu was called to water carefully.
After doing all this, everyone was already sweating profusely. Lu Chuchu called all the sisters to rest. The three women were really tired as they smiled. They put down their work, wiped the sweat beads on their foreheads, and tidied them up, and then walked into Xiao Yun's bedroom.
The news that Xiao Yun was arrested and returned to Dadu was finally spread quickly under the spread of those who were interested. Even ordinary people on the streets and alleys heard that the court had arrested a thief. As for what kind of thief was, they didn't know, nor did they want to know. They only knew that the thief arrested by the court must be an important figure, because this time, the people used by the court were not much smaller than the last time they went to war.
The four women entered Xiao Yun's bedroom talking and laughing. The bedroom was as neatly as before, with tables, chairs, benches, and even the fake "Lanting Preface" of Wang Xizhi hanging on the wall was not moved at all. The four women silently looked at everything in the room and didn't speak for a long time.
The slightly warm spring breeze, with a faint fragrance, gently patted the four people's faces. Finally, Xiaodie couldn't help it: "Sister Axue, Sister Feifei, Sister Chuchu, when do you think Brother Xiao will come back? I miss him so much?"
"Oh, is it soon?" After a long time, A Xue sighed softly, "I heard that many people have returned in the war in the past few days. I believe my husband will come back soon, right?" She doesn't pay attention to these major events in the court on weekdays. Since Xiao Yun went to war with the army, she has also begun to pay attention to the movements of the army. The Lu sisters knew her thoughts and always brought some good news to everyone. When the army returned, Chu Chu took it out of her father Lu Zhanpeng's mouth.
"By the way, Sister Feifei, Uncle Lu is from the court. Today, there is news about Brother Xiao. Maybe Brother Xiao has come back or maybe?" Xiaodie pulled Axue and sat down on a wooden chair bench, throwing this sentence casually.
"Dissatisfied with Sister Xiaodie. Today, my sister and I also want to ask my father. But when I get up, my father is no longer at the house. When I ask the servants, they say that my father took Butler Song out early in the morning. When he went out, he looked worried and looked very serious?"
"Ah, nothing will happen, right?" Xiaodie was straightforward. Hearing Lu Feifei's serious words, he couldn't help asking.
"No, Dad has always been kind to others, so there should be no trouble? Besides, with the strength of my Lu family in the court and Brother Xiao, who dares to make things difficult for Dad? According to my opinion, Dad must have encountered some difficult things and didn't have time to tell me, and I'm just in a hurry to go to court?"
Xiaodie said: "What my sister said is that Uncle Lu is kind to others, and Brother Xiao is an official in the court. I think no one is in a dilemma with him. Xiaodie thought too much!"
Seeing that everyone was a little dull, Lu Feifei, who was beside him, waved her hand and smiled: "These are all things that are stinky men. Why do our daughter's family say this? In my opinion, it's better to plant these orchids as soon as possible. Maybe Brother Xiao will come back in two days. Then you may be so happy to see the orchids in the garden?"
"Yes, my sister said that my husband loved orchids the most in his life. He said that orchids are "not fragrant because no one is not fragrant" and is the "gentleman" among flowers. Only gentlemen are worthy of orchids. My husband is frank, honest in doing things, and value credit. He cares for everyone else, but he is not a gentleman?" A Xue looked at the orchids in the garden and said quietly, and his eyes became softer.
"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Xiao is a gentleman. It's getting late. If you don't plant this gentleman's flower, no gentleman will be useless!" Lu Feifei stood up with a smile, grabbed an orchid and walked towards the yard.
"Dongdongdongdong...Dongdongdongdong..." A rapid knock on the door resounded throughout the courtyard.
"Huh...? Who is so anxious...?" Lu Feifei, who stood up first, frowned, looked at the closed gate of the courtyard in displeasure, and walked slowly over.
"Yah...?"
The door was opened with a strong force, and a thick wooden door was pushed open. Lu Feifei didn't expect that the person who came to push the door was so strong. She was not careful for a moment. After being pushed by this force, one of them was unstable and was about to fall to the ground. Lu Chuchu, who was following closely behind, stepped forward with a quick hand, and took a step forward with his left hand, grabbed his sister's wrist with his right hand, and gently lifted it up. Even so, the force was still too great. He pushed the two of them "Tengteng...Tengteng..." and then stood firm after taking dozens of steps back.
"Damn slave, you're trying to die!" Before he stood firm, Lu Feifei couldn't wait to scold him.
"Miss, second lady, Axue girl, Xiaodie girl...?" The person who came was not angry, and he spoke with sadness and bowed to everyone one by one.
"Butler Song... Why is it you? Didn't you go out with your father this morning? Why? Dad is back...?" Seeing that the person standing outside the door was Song Fang, Lu Feifei was about to burst out, so she endured it and asked curiously.
