At least for He An, he was an uninvited guest.

He looked at Luo Zhanming's outfit in purple clothes and folded his lips, and turned his head and curled his lips. Although Luo Zhanming's master and servant have not come often these days, he has been here a few times. Unfortunately, it was probably because the resentment left when he first met was too deep, and He An still doesn't like him until now.

Seeing He An like this, He Ze shook his head and walked out of the counter to greet him, "Brother Luo."

"Brother He, don't be fine." Luo Zhanming seemed to be in a good mood. He tilted his head and glanced at He An behind He Ze, then winked at He Ze and said, "I heard that Brother He, you are about to get married. You will have to treat me to drink at that time!"

"Of course, I have to thank you for what happened last time." He Ze refers to Luo Zhanming's invitation to Zhou County Magistrate to watch the opening ceremony.

The two of them exchanged greetings, and they looked so happy that they were so angry that He An was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him.

"I happened to meet you here. Actually, I came here for serious business this time." Luo Zhanming withdrew his fan and couldn't help but lower his head and complain. "On the day the flower shop opened, my elder brother got a pot of Yao Huang, remember? It's been so depressed for several days. The flower farmers in the mansion have not been able to handle it. I was worried that my elder brother couldn't eat, so I asked me to invite you over."

"I'm so tired?"

He Ze subconsciously looked at Wei Zi, the other king of peony in the flower shop. It was still shimmering purple, and the petals were so delicate that they could pinch out water.

"You are really a blessing in the world. It's so strange that you keep indoors all day long. How can you compare to the carefully cared for by the three or five flower farmers in my eldest brother's mansion?"

"Young Master Luo, what you said is wrong. I can't bear to treat this pot of Wei Zi. I was basking in the sun in the backyard just now. Your mansion was meticulously serving you, and I am not meticulously serving you?"

Cai Qing, who had watered the potted plants, was displeased when she heard this and smeared and wiped her hands on the hem of her clothes.

"...Where, where, Mr. Cai, don't be angry, the boy said the wrong thing." Luo Zhanming raised his fan and smiled and apologized.

Cai Qing was not really angry, and in a flash, he turned the topic to Yao Huang: "I heard from the shopkeeper that these two pots of Yao Huang and Wei Zi were born in the same species, and the flowering time was about the same. Could it be that they were not suitable for the local environment?"

"No way..." Can you be so unacceptable to the local environment?

"I will know what the specific situation is. In this way, after lunch, I will go over immediately." He Ze looked at the sun, "Why should Brother Luo go with me? I'll invite you."

Luo Zhanming didn't refuse, because he was worried that he would not have the chance to get closer to these two brothers. Since it was a treat, He Ze simply called everyone in the flower shop. In addition to Dad He and the shy He An, the flower shop closed for a while, and it was not a big deal.

Yu's restaurant was used to eating, and the group even took a long journey. As the saying goes, friends with wine and meat, friends with wine and meat, have drunk and meat, and the friendship between He Ze and Luo Zhanming has really risen a little bit, and it is finally less polite. He An, who has a better attitude towards Luo Zhanming.

After the meal, He Ze followed the master and servant to the county magistrate's office, with the yamen in front and the residence behind.

This is the first time He Ze has come.

Luo Zhanming was a regular visitor to the Zhou Mansion. When the doorman saw that he was, he didn't have to communicate with him. He opened the door and let the three of them go in.

"Why do I take you to visit my eldest brother first?"

"No, just take me to the flower garden. Lord Zhou is busy with political affairs, so we should not disturb him." He Ze waved his hand and asked the servant to lead him to the back garden.

"this……"

Luo Zhanming was still hesitating. When he saw He Ze walking away, he hurriedly winked at Amu beside him and chased after him.

"Shopkeeper He, look, it's this Yao Huang plant. Our master and wife like it. We have to come to see it for a while every afternoon, but somehow, some of the petals fell over the past few days, and even the leaves turned yellow."

There was a flower farmer who was taking care of it in the mansion. When he heard that the county magistrate had specially invited the "medical treatment" to arrive, he rushed over immediately and told him about the situation of Yao Huang.

The shop has been open for so long, and with the expert Cai Qing, asking for advice, He Ze has a little understanding of the habits of various flowers and plants.

Peony has four characteristics: it is cool, afraid of freezing, warm, afraid of heat, light, afraid of shade, dryness, and humidity. Potted peony has higher requirements for soil and water and fertilizer. He Ze touched a yellow leaf on his hand and sent a little supernatural power over. He clearly felt the joy and dependence of the Yao Huang plant in front of him.

However, He Ze quickly let go of his hand. He didn't want to be exposed in public. Seeing that he looked at him and didn't say anything, the flower farmer became nervous: "Shopkeeper, this, Yao Huang is not going to die, right?"

He Ze shook his head: "I'll ask you first, how many times do you apply fertilizer to it a day? How many times do you water it? How long does it take to get sunbathing? There are branches, have you ever been pruned this month?"

"The day after the fertilization was brought back by the master, I loosened the soil and buried some dried cow dung and grass. Later, the master said it was delicious. The latter was mixed with wood ash and watered and fertilized twice a day. Hehe, as for sunbathing..."

"Okay, I probably know. You have applied fertilization too frequently, and the waterlogging causes the root system to rot. For another ten days, you will probably die. Potted peonies will take a lot of fertilizer once a month after they bloom, but the fertilizer water will be watered once every seven or eight days. As for clean water, it is once a day, and it is best to water it in the early morning or when it is cool..."

From fertilization, watering, lighting, to loosening the soil and weeding, pruning branches, selecting seedlings, planting... to the various taboos of potted peonies, seeing He Ze talk more and more, Luo Zhanming became more and more shocked: "This peony is too cute! Is it so much trouble to plant a flower?"

"As for flowers, they all need to be raised in detail. The better the flowers look, the more they need to be raised in detail. Only the peony is true, and the flowers bloom and move to the capital. Even ordinary flowers are like this, so peony will naturally be even better."

"Okay! Well said!"

As soon as He Ze finished speaking, another voice came from the corridor. The county magistrate Zhou Wenda appeared immediately, followed by the master Liu Yangji and servant Amu.

"Only the peony is true, and the flowers bloom in the capital. When they hear that Brother He is a elegant person, not like this vulgar barbarian," Zhou Wenda went down the stairs and pushed Luo Zhanming aside. "How can he understand the fun of appreciating flowers!"

"Brother, you won't be authentic if you say this! Why don't I understand? What you literati and elegant..."

"What's wrong with our trick?" Zhou Wenda glanced at him sideways, ignored him, turned to He Ze, with an uncontrollable joy on his face, "I think there is a little shopkeeper who takes action, and I, Yao Huang, can be saved?"

"Of course, just don't worry, sir," He Ze said with confidence. "I have already told the flower farmers in the mansion just now. It should be fine if I keep it for ten or half a month. Of course, I will come to observe and take care of it in the past two days."

"That's good, that's good, then I'll be relieved!" This is Yao Huang, a rare flower worth three thousand taels, even his teacher far away in the capital, and if he died at his hands, he would cry without any place.

Zhou Wenda was overjoyed and looked at He Ze with gratitude.

After the matter was finished, He Ze did not delay, and then he offered his farewell. Luo Zhanming followed him to see him off. When he came back, Zhou Wenda was talking to a few flower farmers, so that they could not forget He Ze's instructions and make mistakes.

"Brother, I'm right, I'm right. Professional problems need to be solved by specialized talents. You have been worried for so long, and no one has a few words yet."

"I was so anxious. Master Cai had never had such a problem when he was in the mansion. Or were their level not good... By the way, Master Cai was still helping in the First Xianghua Shop?"

"Yes," Luo Zhanming knew what his elder husband was thinking when he heard this. "Don't worry about him, he has to work for three years after signing a contract!"

"Master Cai is very energetic and can work in the He family's flower shop. It seems that He Ze is also really capable." The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, and Cai Qing is quite accomplished in planting flowers and planting flowers. The mansion often invites him to take care of some precious flowers, so he has naturally dealt with him. "Hey, you are familiar with He Ze. Seeing his words and behaviors seem to have been read, he is also very upright, why didn't he go to the scientific examination? Instead..."

"I heard Uncle He say this. He Ze has been studying for seven or eight years, but he has never read it out, so..." Luo Zhanming shrugged. He has also studied for many years, but unfortunately he is not very interesting.

"That's the case...it's a pity."

Zhou Wenda sighed, not knowing what a pity. He looked at the Yao Huang plant for a while and asked the flower farmers to take good care of it. Then he took Luo Zhanming to the main hall, "I'll have dinner and leave today. Your elder brother should come back when he goes out. I'm thinking about you with me every day."

"It's so sir!" Luo Zhanming replied with a smile.

...

On the other hand, when He Ze returned to the flower shop, it was just the hour of You, and there was nothing wrong with the shops on both sides, so he drove the ox cart and took He An back first. He An hadn't been home for many days, and Li was afraid that he had missed him a long time ago.

Sure enough, when Niuche returned to the village, Li, who was sitting in front of the yard washing clothes, watched the two brothers come back together and braised an extra fish. However, before He Ze could enjoy Li's craftsmanship, the patriarch He Hong slowly knocked on the gate of his house.

He Hong didn't even enter the house, with his hands behind his back, half bent over, and then mentioned that he bought land and opened a shop at home, and praised him several times. He Ze felt unsure and simply opened his mind, "San Grandpa, you are not going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. If you have anything, tell me?"
