The old man walked quickly to the courtyard where Li Qingling lived, and as soon as he entered, he saw a big change in the courtyard.
The previous flowers were all gone, and turned into bare soil.
When he saw Li Qingling pouring water with a few children laughing, his eyes almost popped out, "What... what's going on here? Where are those flowers?" He went out and came back, everything changed.
When Li Qingling heard the old man's voice, she wiped off her sweat, turned to look at the old man, and said with a smile: "I have pulled out those flowers, and I am going to grow vegetables here." Don't say she is vulgar, she is really If you can't appreciate flowers, it's better to grow vegetables! You can pick it anytime you want to eat, saving money and fresh.
"What? You want to grow vegetables here?" The old man's voice suddenly became louder, "Girl, do you have no money? If you don't, come ask me for it."
"What does this have to do with my lack of money?" Li Qingling flattened her mouth a little speechlessly, "Old man, don't worry, I didn't touch the flowers outside, but moved the flowers in my yard." She didn't dare If you move the flowers outside casually, you are afraid that the old man will cut her off.
The old man is not a literati, so how could he have the faults of a literati
Seeing that Li Qingling looked like it was no big deal, the old man was annoyed and amused.
"If you put your crooked thoughts on my other flowers, see if I will forgive you?"
It was because she was afraid of him being like this that she didn't dare to touch his other flowers, otherwise, she wanted to plant the whole mansion with fruit trees!
In this way, fresh fruits can be eaten all year round. It's a pity that she can only have some fruit trees in the yard where she lives, and she really has no courage to move in other places.
"No, why dare you? I just moved this yard." Li Qingling laughed, she looked at the old man, and persuaded him, "Old man, look at these flowers, you can't eat them, and you have to spend so much money It’s better to plant fruit trees than to take care of them! Think about it, you have different fresh fruits to eat all year round, don’t you feel very happy?”
Hearing this, the old man really thought about it seriously, if he could see fruit hanging on the branches all year round, it seemed really good.
Li Qingling saw that the old man had a slightly shaken expression, so she added a bit of anger, "Old man, all the mansions in the capital look the same, what's so interesting about it? It's your mansion that grows fruits, isn't it?" Is it so different from other people's mansions? At that time, others will have to spend a lot of money to buy fruit to eat, we want to eat, just pick it, how wonderful!"
"Except for fruit trees or fruit trees, there are no flowers. What's there to see?" Although the old man's mind was shaken, he thought that he couldn't see a single flower, and his mind became firm again.
Li Qingling rolled his eyes, and said quickly: "Old man, how about this! Let's uproot the ornamental trees in the mansion and plant fruit trees, and the flowers will not move. Do you think it's okay?" Those ornamental trees can only be seen, but not eaten. It is really better to plant fruit trees! It can be seen and eaten with fruit, killing two birds with one stone.
This is okay, as long as his flowers are not moved, he can compromise.
"Okay, as long as you don't put your mind on my flowers, I'll let you arrange other things!"
Hearing that the old man agreed, Li Qingling cheered happily, and told the old man that she would definitely not mess with his flowers.
The old man hummed, he walked into the newly opened vegetable garden, and asked Li Qingling, what kind of vegetables did they grow in it
Li Qingling smiled and said, "I just planted some green vegetables that grow faster. I wonder if there are two and a half months before the Chinese New Year? When the Chinese New Year comes, we will have fresh green vegetables to eat."
Glancing at Li Qingling, the old man said calmly: "It snows here in winter, do you think there will be a harvest if you grow vegetables here?" Once covered by water, everything is gone, so what else to eat
"Old man, don't you even look at who I am, can't you even think of this?" Li Qingling looked at the old man contemptuously, "Greenhouse vegetables, I am going to make greenhouse vegetables. With greenhouse vegetables, we don't have to eat those There are pickled vegetables and pickled vegetables, and there are fresh green vegetables to eat." She will definitely develop this greenhouse vegetable here, and sell it in winter, and she will definitely make a lot of money.
When the old man heard this, he asked Li Qingling what is greenhouse vegetables
Why hasn't he heard of greenhouse vegetables here? Did this girl make it up again
Seeing that the old man was curious, Li Qingling gave him a general introduction. After she finished the introduction, the old man clapped his hands and said that it was feasible.
In winter, there are basically no green vegetables to eat, and he is afraid of eating those dried vegetables all day long.
If this girl really came up with some greenhouse vegetables and had fresh vegetables to eat, then he would definitely praise her.
"Girl, look at your confident look, have you ever done it before?"
Li Qingling smiled awkwardly and said: "I made it at home before, not outside, but I think it's absolutely fine. Don't worry, I'll have your fresh vegetables to eat." The seeds are planted in pots, brought into the room, and the kang is fired to keep the temperature of the room, and only then can vegetables be cultivated.
This time she was doing it outside, she had to figure out how to keep the temperature up.
If it really doesn't work, then she can only use the old method.
The corner of the old man's mouth twitched. Seeing his confident expression, he thought she had done it before. Unexpectedly, this was her first experiment.
I don't know if he can succeed. If he can't, he will really be blind to the flowers in his garden.
"Okay, old man, I'm just waiting to eat your fresh vegetables, don't let me down!"
"Hey, don't worry, I won't let you down." Li Qingling almost assured her.
The old man glanced at her again, "Where's Zhimo? Did you go to Mr. Luo's?"
Li Qingling hummed and said it.
After hearing this, the old man ignored Li Qingling and ran to talk to Li Qingning.
Li Qingling watched the old and the young talking happily, she shrugged her shoulders, and finished watering the rest of the land before going back to the room to change clothes.
"You painted-faced cats are ready, hurry up, go back and change into clean clothes, and don't make trouble here."
As soon as she finished yelling this sentence, and when the little ones said they understood, he walked towards her room in peace.
As soon as she finished changing her clothes, she heard Nian Xia's voice, "Miss, Guanyan is here."
"Let him in."
Nian Xia opened the door and walked in, and said to Guan Yan, let's go in!
Watching the words and looking at the eyes, he walked in, "Madam, the master wants you to take the second young master, the third young master, the second young lady and the third young lady to Luo's mansion."
"Did he say what it was?"
"Master said, Mr. Luo wants to see you."
Hearing this, Li Qingling felt confident, she said yes, let him wait a moment, she asked Xichun to see if the little ones had changed their clothes
Not long after, those children came with the old man.
The old man came just in time, and she was about to find him!
"Old man, what should we prepare when we go to Luo's mansion?" She was not very familiar with these things, so she didn't know what gift to give for a while.
The old man cleared his throat, and stroked his beard in embarrassment. He didn't know much about gift giving either!
The housekeeper is in charge of all these things in the mansion, and what gifts to give is also handled by him, and he has never asked.
"Just by looking at you, I don't know." Li Qingling gave him another contemptuous look. The old man really didn't know anything about it! "Nian Xia, go ask the butler to come over and tell him that I have something urgent to find him."
This capital city is not like their Niutou Village, where as a gift, they only give some vegetables or eggs grown by themselves. There are many things to pay attention to here. If you give the wrong gift, it will not only make the host unhappy, but also embarrass yourself.
Nian Xia said yes, and quickly went out to find the housekeeper.
"Sister, are we all going to Luo Mansion? Where is that place? Is there anything interesting?" Li Qingning lay on Li Qingling's lap, raised her head, and asked curiously.
Li Qingling raised her hand and flicked her forehead, then glared at her, "What else do you have in mind besides playing, have you embroidered the handkerchief I asked you to embroider before?" She asked Li Qingning to learn from Liu Zhirou, I don't know if she has learned it
Upon hearing this, Li Qingning's eyes began to wander, that thing is so difficult to embroider, how could she learn it
Seeing her like this, Li Qingling knew the answer. She stretched out her finger and flicked Li Qingning's forehead again, "I'll give you another ten days. If you don't embroider the handkerchief, you won't even think about going out to play." As she said that, she looked up at Liu Zhirou again, "Rourou, you must supervise her well, and you can't let her play tricks, you know?"
She knew that Liu Zhirou was soft-hearted and loved Li Qingning very much, as long as Li Qingning acted like a baby, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she let her go.
She didn't want to force Li Qingning to learn, but in such a big environment, there was nothing she could do.
She does not require her to be proficient, but she must be able to.
In the future, pick your in-law's family, at least so that others can't find faults.
Liu Zhirou nodded meekly, "Understood, sister-in-law, I will take good care of her." She gave Li Qingning a helpless look.
She really can't help her this time, she can ask for more blessings!
"Ningning, what about you? Huh?"
Li Qingning replied weakly, "Understood, sister!" She now felt that her ten fingers were aching.
Li Qingling nodded with a smile, that's about the same.
At this time, Nian Xia came with the housekeeper.
"Miss, are you looking for me?"
Li Qingling responded, and asked him directly about giving gifts
The housekeeper told Li Qingling without saying a word, and Li Qingling had a clue in his heart, so he thanked the housekeeper.
After they finished talking, the old man asked the housekeeper to prepare the gifts for Luo's mansion, and let Li Qingling and the others take them.
Li Qingling was also not polite to the old man, she had nothing now, even if she wanted to give a gift, she had no choice but to rely on the old man.
After the butler prepared the gifts and put them in the carriage, Li Qingling took a few children to the Luo Mansion.
It's just that she didn't expect to meet her rival in love at the gate of Luo's mansion.
