"Xue Zhilan?"

Xu Ranyun sat up all of a sudden, and said sharply, "Why is she looking for Xue Zhilan?"

Feng Xian also became nervous, and murmured: "In the past, Grandma treated Grandma Lan pretty well, but Grandma Lan used to lie low in front of her and be a little girl. Now she must feel that she can't deal with Grandma, so she's going to I joined hands with Grandma Lan, if that's the case, my wife also likes Grandma Lan, grandma, this is not good for you."

Xu Ranyun was also a little flustered, but she forced herself to be calm and said: "I don't believe it, Xue Zhilan has always acted weakly towards people. The reason why my master appointed me as housekeeper that day was because she was too weak. Now Grandma wants to let her Butler, I won't agree to it. What's more, if she really has the ability to turn clouds and rain, why doesn't she manage it herself? Why do you want to drag Xue Zhilan?"

"Grandma also said that what Grandma did in the past was not kind, that's why the old lady hesitated. If she asked Grandma Lan to support her, the attitude of the wife and the old lady would not be so firm." Feng Xianhua turned into a dog-headed military adviser, and actively analyzed Su Nuannuan's psychology for Xu Ranyun. The more he analyzed, the more panicked Xu Ranyun became, so he had to say to the little girl in a stern voice: "Go and watch outside the Qiuyun Pavilion again. Grandma and Lan If grandma makes any movement, come back and report to me."

After finishing speaking, Fengxian also said to the little girl: "You don't need to do any work on weekdays. You are only allowed to deal with people from all over the house. Don't you have many little sisters? Let's find a way to do it right now. Sitting in the Qiuyun Pavilion, it is best to inquire about some useful news, and grandma will definitely reward you when you come back, so go."

The little girl quickly agreed to go, and when she came to Qiuyun Pavilion, she happened to see a little friend named Qiaoer, who was usually called a sister, came out. Seeing her, she smiled and said: "Meier, why are you here? Your grandma Don't you need to do anything?"

Mei'er smiled and said: "Our courtyard is very light. It's my turn to boil the water today. I've finished it, so I'm going out for a stroll. What are you busy with?" Looking at the main room hung with pearl curtains. Thinking about how to get mixed up in this corridor. If you prick up your ears, you might be able to hear the voice inside.

"How dare I compare to you? Didn't I just get bird food and prepare to feed the birds? Since you're here, let's talk." Qiao'er said, and took a small watering can to feed water to a row of bird cages on the corridor.

This is exactly what Meier wanted. She hurriedly strained her ears, but after listening for a long time, she didn't hear any voice in the room, she couldn't help being surprised. Secret Dao Grandma and Grandma Lan don't talk when they meet? What about charades? Know I'm coming

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Qiaoer say "Hey" and said, "Why is Grandma here?"

"where?"

Meier called out. Following Qiao'er's gaze, she saw Su Nuannuan and Aunt Jing coming out of the wing room and heading straight to the backyard. She couldn't help but be speechless: Why did these two get together? Could it be that Grandma condescended to come here. Is it to see Aunt Jing? Instead of Grandma Lan

Thinking of this, Mei'er hurriedly said: "By the way, I suddenly remembered that I had something to do with Xiao Yu. Is she in the backyard right now? I'll go and see her." Before Qiao'er could speak, she hurried around the corridor went. Here, Qiao'er sneered, but didn't expose her, and continued to feed water to her birds.

"Grandma wants to use roses, but it's a bit late at this time. At the end of spring, when the roses first bloom, it is the most fragrant time. Whether you make rose tea, rose gel, or Taocheng rouge ointment ,all good."

Because of Aunt Jing's preference, the backyard of Qiuyun Pavilion was filled with various flowers and plants, and the fragrance wafted all the way to the front yard. At this time, as soon as Su Nuannuan entered this sea of flowers, she fell in love immediately. Looking at the branches full of roses in front of her, she nodded repeatedly and said, "That's good, it's enough for making flower cakes."

"Flower cake?" Aunt Jing smiled slightly: "I have always heard that grandma is a good cook, and the old lady is full of praise for your dim sum. This is another new dim sum? I have eaten food decorated with flowers before." , it’s just a flower cake, this is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

Su Nuannuan smiled and said: "Of course you can't wrap some petals in, and there are still several processes. When it is done, I will treat you to eat." After speaking, he saw the wild rose tree not far away, She only felt mixed feelings, the time and space in front of her eyes coincided with the world she lived in not long ago, and the familiar faint fragrance made her walk towards those flower trees involuntarily.

"Grandma likes the wild rose too?"

Aunt Jing saw her coming to the wild rose and smelling the fragrance deeply, she couldn't help but smiled and said: "This flower is everywhere. When I first planted it, Grandma Lan said it was not elegant. But I prefer it with a quiet fragrance. , the flowers are beautiful, and the most pitiful thing is the sharp thorns on the branches. Everyone in the whole family said that the flowers I planted are good, but no one will pay more attention to these flowers, but grandma seems to love them. Do you look like you have a soft spot?"

"What can be in the hall of elegance? It must be good if it is in the hall of elegance?" Su Nuannuan took a deep breath, brushed her slender fingers over the familiar bright-colored petals, and said softly: "I used to plant a few flowers in my house. Tree, I didn’t notice anything at the time, but seeing it now, it’s really kind.”

The wild rose that Aunt Jing mentioned was called Thorny Rose by Su Nuannuan in her previous life. She never knew what the scientific name was, and the fragrance was the same as Damascus rose. Because of its wild nature, it is easy to grow and has a long flowering period, so it is very popular among ordinary people. Almost every family will plant a few trees in the front and back yards, but because of this, it has become an outcast of rich and noble families. The reason why Aunt Jing planted This, probably also has something to do with her life experience. Just hearing her say that the thorns full of branches is pitiful, one can understand her mood: those thorns are not a part of her pride in the world. May be broken off.

Aunt Jing is a flower lover. Because Su Nuannuan loved the art of flower arrangement in her previous life, she has also studied many flowers and plants. Originally, she came here today to inspect Aunt Jing’s character in person, but at this time, using flowers as a matchmaker, the more she talked, the more she talked. speculate. When it came to flower arranging at the end, both of them were very interested, so Aunt Jing told the girl beside her, Zhuxiu, "Go and get the pair of beauty vases from my room."

Zhuxiu turned around and left, Aunt Jing smiled and said: "As soon as I heard what Grandma said, I knew that you are an expert in this field. Since you have caught up today, why don't you let the servants and concubines open their eyes?"

"Okay." Su Nuannuan was also elated. Even if you are a foodie, you can't study food every day, so you have to adjust a bit, right? Since Aunt Jing said so, she is also happy to learn from each other.

Zhuxiu brought back the beauty bottle after a while, and Su Nuannuan saw that this girl was very beautiful, and she was more lively than the girls in the house, she unconsciously showed a bit of charm in her words and deeds, and she understood in her heart This is probably the girl in Aunt Jing's brothel. Originally, 20,000 taels of silver is too bad to redeem someone. Buy one get one free or buy one get two free.

The two looked at the bottle, then carefully patrolled the sea of flowers, and then went their separate ways. After a while, they had already picked the flowers they needed, which varied in length and length. Su Nuannuan also seriously raised her opinion. "Sister, you pay too much attention to flowers. In fact, everything in the world has its own characteristics. Since you like to arrange flowers, some plants are also indispensable, such as baby's breath. I don't think you have any in your garden. Maybe it's too common. But I don’t know if it’s a flower basket, it’s a very good decoration…”

Aunt Jing nodded one by one to be taught, and said with great interest: "Grandma said that since this is the case, the concubine will ask someone to find some seeds for me when I turn around. You can take a look. If there is anything missing here, just tell me. I plant them all, although maids and concubines are not good at anything, they are good at planting flowers and grass."

"Since that's the case, let's take a look at Meiyue Tower some time. The Lord has already ordered people to completely level the place. There are 20 to 30 acres of land. When the time comes, we will build a large greenhouse. In addition to growing vegetables, we will do more By planting all kinds of flowers and plants, wouldn’t there be everything to eat and see? Kill two birds with one stone and not waste it.”

Aunt Jing couldn't help being overjoyed when she heard what Su Nuannuan said, she nodded and said: "The concubine, thank you grandma, I heard that it was flattened there two days ago, so I went to have a look, it's really a good place, but I heard that it was grandma who wanted to grow vegetables, so the maid and concubine did not dare to talk too much, now that you say that, naturally the maid and concubine must do their best... "

While the two were talking, they didn't delay in arranging flowers, and suddenly heard a laughing voice behind them: "Hey, what did Grandma and Sister Jing say so happy? I want to hear it too."

The two looked back and saw Xue Zhilan coming in a light-colored shirt, standing in the sea of flowers, and another color posture, so they both stood up and smiled: "You want to hear it now, we have already said It's over, did we disturb you by talking here? Is that why you came here to chase people away?"

It is rare for Xue Zhilan to see Su Nuannuan with such a pleasant face. She was stunned for a moment, and then quickly laughed and said: "Grandma is serious, why would I think so? I heard from the girls that you came to find sister Jingjing, I thought you might have something to do , so I didn’t dare to disturb you, and I wanted to see you when you left, but I didn’t come out after waiting, and I was really anxious, so I came here by myself.”

Su Nuannuan smiled at Aunt Jing: "Listen, I'm being chased away inside and out of what you said. Do you have any secret things to do? Do you think I'm an eyesore?"

Xue Zhilan hurried forward, took Su Nuannuan's arm and said, "Grandma is really a concubine, I usually look forward to your coming, but I can't wait for you to come. If you say that, let's leave today without sex. I also ate a lot of your food during the day, and I cook a few small dishes at noon, which is naturally not as unique as grandma's, but I think I should be able to eat it, thank you grandma for taking care of me these days."

Her intimacy and humility surprised Aunt Jing a little bit. She thought to herself that Grandma Lan had flattered Grandma earlier because she was powerful and the Pingguo Mansion was prominent, but after the defeat of the Pingguo Mansion, she was never seen. No matter how respectful I am to my grandma, even if my grandma moves back, I still don't see her respect and flattery. Why did it change today
