Chapter 440 Orchid
Chapter 440 · Orchid
After Tang Xueping sent Bai Rongxuan and others to Zhang Yunniang's room, she said goodbye without even sitting there.
Zhang Yunniang repeatedly tried to keep her, but Tang Xueping insisted on leaving.
Tang Xueru said heartlessly when she saw this, "The married man is indeed different. Look at my sister's shy little wife, it looks so funny. I feel a little afraid to recognize her."
Bai Rongxuan lit her forehead, "You, be careful that Sister Ping heard you deal with me."
Zhang Yunniang also smiled and said, "You will get married to someone as a wife in the future. We all kept our eyes open and waited to see if there is really something different at that time!"
"That's for sure!" Tang Xueru said with a smug look, "Even if I want to get married, I will find someone who holds me in my palm to live. I must obey my words, not stare at me, nor can I show my face. Whatever I say is, even if it is not easy to do, he must do his best to find a way, and he cannot force me to do things I don't want to do. It's better that he is the only one in the family, no parents-in-law and siblings, and no one sets rules for me..."
"Oh my god!" Zhang Yunniang opened her mouth wide, "You have asked too much, right? Who can do this?"
Tang Xueru pouted and said playfully and cutely, "As long as you really want to marry me, you will definitely be able to do it."
"I'm starting to talk nonsense again." Bai Rongxuan glared at her helplessly, "If you don't say anything else, it's hard for ordinary people to meet the requirements of parents-in-law and sister. Is it difficult for ordinary people to marry you, and your parents are alive and your kind-hearted will send all your relatives out of the house? Are you too much, right?"
Tang Xueru lowered her head and pondered for a moment, "Well, it's really a bit difficult. If you remove this one, you can't lose the others."
"Just your request, I think you will never get married in your life." Bai Rongxuan and Zhang Yunniang looked at each other, and both felt that some incredible thoughts could always appear in Tang Xueru's little head.
Everyone sat down for a while, a maid with a long face came in carefully to serve tea, standing aside with a restrained look, and didn't know where to put her hands.
Zhang Yunniang explained to her, "This is a little maid who has just entered the door this year. When she sees strangers, she is a little shy. If she doesn't do anything well, don't take it to heart." She smiled at the little maid, "These two are my best friends, both of them are very well-educated people. You don't have to be afraid, do whatever you should do, and don't feel nervous."
The little maid breathed a little relieved, reluctantly held up a smile, and smiled at Bai Rongxuan and Tang Xueru.
Tang Xueru suddenly felt energetic and curiously inquired about her family background.
I learned that the little maid's hometown is from Jiangxi, and this year, Jiujiang was flooded, and her hometown was also affected by disaster. The family wandered around and came to Hangzhou with the fleeing crowd. Now the family is working in the Zhang family. The father is in charge of the stables, the mother is cleaning the courtyard, the younger brother runs errands in the backyard, and she follows the eldest lady of the Zhang family.
The Tang family's ancestral home is also Jiangxi. When Tang Xueru heard this, she seemed to have found a fellow villager and held the little maid's hand very close.
The little maid was a little uncomfortable by her sudden intimacy, but she felt that Tang Xueru didn't look like a malicious person, and her words were lively and playful. She gradually felt relieved and communicated with Tang Xueru about the customs and customs of Jiangxi. However, she grew up in the countryside since she was a child, and she had limited knowledge and didn't have much to say to Tang Xueru. Tang Xueru learned Jiangxi dialect from her. She was very smart, and she learned a few words in a while and said to Bai Rongxuan and Zhang Yunniang, which made them laugh.
The three of them talked in Zhang Yunniang's house for a while and went to the greenhouse together.
The orchids that Zhang Yunniang took good care of were blooming, and they were very elegant and beautiful, and even Mr. Zhang praised them quite well. Zhang Yunniang wanted Bai Rongxuan and Tang Xueru to visit, so she specially cleaned up the greenhouse.
Although it is already winter and frost will fall at night, the greenhouse is completely different. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large bright peony flower blooming. When you walk in, you will see two pots of yellow chrysanthemums. Most of the other flowers are not blooming. There are four pots of orchids on the flower stand in the middle, and purple, white and light yellow flowers blooming on the slender branches, with a faint fragrance and a clear and clean and unconventional nature.
"Don't compete with peaches and plums, nor change color due to frost and snow." Bai Rongxuan watched with concentration and said in admiration, "No wonder all literati and poets throughout the ages like to raise orchids. As soon as the orchids bloom, there was nothing else to do with flowers."
Tang Xueru had no interest in these flowers and plants, so she pulled the newly recognized little maid to ask questions, hoping to find out all Jiangxi.
The little maid was so anxious that she was sweating, "This...that...I don't know either. Why don't you wait for me to ask my dad? He used to go out and pull people for help, so he has more knowledge than me."
Zhang Yunniang said to Bai Rongxuan, "Although orchids are beautiful, they are very difficult to raise, and it is even more difficult to make them bloom. Let me be honest, I have raised more than a dozen pots in total, and in the end they only have these four pots bloom. You don't know how much time I have spent. Sometimes I have to get up in the middle of the night to take a look, for fear that if I don't pay attention, they will make them cold."
Bai Rongxuan nodded as she heard this.
She doesn't like orchids, and always thinks it is too elegant and delicate, but it is incompatible with this ordinary world. Many beautiful things in this world do not last long, but they are hard and stubborn to maintain their true colors and remain unchanged forever.
Bai Rongxuan liked these flowers the most in her previous life, and liked the brilliant prosperity and beauty of a night. But after living for a lifetime, she wished she was a rock that no one could easily shake and defeat. She could not only protect herself, but also protect her family from harm.
She stared at the fragile orchid in front of her, and was ecstatic.
The temperature in the greenhouse was a little high, and everyone could breathe after staying for a while. Zhang Yunniang hurriedly invited everyone to the inner room for tea, and said, "I didn't understand these things when I first built the greenhouse. Once I stayed in the shed for a long time, I fainted because of my breath. Fortunately, my mother found out that she had asked someone to carry me out in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
Everyone returned to Zhang Yunniang's room and said relaxed words with laughter.
Tang Xueping left but went to see Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang was accompanied by her personal mother to settle the accounts and arrange the New Year's Day ceremony. She was a little complaining, "I must worship the Bodhisattva more in this life, and strive to be a man in the next life, and I will not suffer any punishment. Look at him, the family is so busy, he is so good. He hid in the study to study chess scores, but he didn't help me. With this family, I am the only one who can work. Can they all eat? "
This 'he' is naturally Mr. Zhang.
The close mother smiled and comforted, "Don't say that. I was busy with weddings at home a few days ago. The master was so busy that he was very busy. It was rare to calm down and take a good rest now. Don't be angry with him."
"I'm angry with him?" Mrs. Zhang said helplessly, "Even if there are a hundred, I'll be so angry that I'm already very angry now."
The close mother said, "I think you are in a blessing and don't know how lucky you are. The master is so good. Even our old lady keeps saying yes when she meets you. The old lady is so smart. She has the most accurate view of people. She thinks that good people must not be wrong."
Not long after Zhang Zili's wedding, Mrs. Zhang's family said goodbye and returned to Xuzhou. Mrs. Zhang was reluctant to leave and left her mother at home for the New Year before leaving. Old Mrs. Zhang held her hand and said, "I know you are filial, but I am old and I am the most comfortable in my own house. Don't make things difficult for me. This is the first time I have come to your house since you got married. Seeing that the house is well-organized and has no worries about food and drink, I have nothing to worry about. You should live your own little life well and don't have to worry about me."
