In fact, Xu Shichu knew that it was an exaggeration for Mrs. Li to say that her garden was so unique. After all, in this era, the aristocrats had money and leisure, and pursued elegance. Each garden landscape designed by someone was more exquisite and elegant than the other.

One painting, five steps and one scene, rockery, flowing water, exotic flowers and plants, no matter how you look at it, it is a beautiful sight.

Perhaps at the beginning, this garden did not have so many exquisite man-made landscapes such as pavilions, rockeries and flowing water. There were only simple and rough patches of colorful flowers and plants, mixed with some fragrant trees, flowers and trees. However, even such simple and direct flowers, when they are

When large areas are in bloom, the dazzling array of bright colors is enough to be stunning.

Mrs. Li was so spoiled for choice that she finally decided on the chubby bell-like pink bellflowers and the alluring and mysterious underbrush of blue delphiniums.

Xu Shichu asked his servants to transplant them into flower pots, but Mrs. Li took them away as if they were treasures.

After Mrs. Li got these two pots of rare flowers, she ostentatiously invited many people to come and enjoy the flowers. Of course, she also invited Xu Shichu, the original owner, but Xu Shichu refused. She just wanted to enjoy the flowers in her own garden.

Pink wind chimes and blue delphiniums really made Mrs. Li the limelight at the flower viewing party. The ladies and ladies who came to the flower viewing party had never seen these two kinds of flowers before, and they were immediately attracted by their strange and extremely beautiful appearance.

, all asked Mrs. Li where she got these two kinds of flowers.

Mrs. Li proudly said that it was given to her by the Prime Minister's wife, and the Prime Minister's wife's yard was full of all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, many of which were not found in other parts of the dynasty and were obtained from foreign merchants.

flowers.

She eloquently described the various flowers blooming in the garden at the beginning of Xu Shi, and how stunning they were when they were all dazzling. Stepping into the flowers was like entering the realm of flowers, making people feel as if they were floating in a fairyland.

As a result, Xu Shichu's garden became famous due to Mrs. Li's outstanding eloquence, and many people wanted to take a look. The Prime Minister's Mansion immediately received many posts from ladies from various families who wanted to visit.

The concierge who received the post was shocked when he saw so many posts about wanting to visit Madam. After all, no one had ever invited Madam or guests who wanted to visit Madam before, but now there are so many posts all at once, which is very strange.

It's strange.

But when he learned from the servant who had sent the post that those people came to visit Madam because they wanted to visit Madam's garden, he was stunned. However, after receiving so many posts for ten days and a half, he recovered.

Feeling at peace.

Although Xu Shichu received the post, she didn't agree to any of the invitations. She had no friendship with the ladies, so how could she agree to their request for a home visit?

So those ladies and ladies scratched their hearts and secretly scolded Xu Shichu for being arrogant and rude, for actually rejecting their initiative to visit.

But no matter what they thought in their hearts, none of them could get permission to visit Xu Shichu's garden in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

There was really no other way, so Mrs. Li, as the only person who had some friendship with Xu Shichu, was entrusted by many ladies to serve as a go-between and lobbyist to persuade Xu Shichu to hold a flower viewing party to satisfy their curiosity.

one time.

"It's you who said how beautiful the Prime Minister's wife's garden is like a fairyland, which aroused our curiosity! But we can't go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see it in person, so you must persuade the Prime Minister's wife to hold a flower viewing party this time.

Let us take a quick look!" Mrs. Guo, the Minister of War, asked Mrs. Li confidently.

Mrs. Li could only be annoyed that she was talking too much, but she was a little proud in her heart. After all, she was the only one who had seen the garden of the Prime Minister’s wife!

Really unable to withstand too many people's requests, Mrs. Li had to visit Xu Shichu again, told the ladies how eager they were to see her garden, and asked her to hold a flower-viewing party to satisfy their curiosity.

Otherwise they will definitely not give up.

"I don't like socializing, and I don't have any friendship with those people. I really don't want to break my quiet life to satisfy their curiosity." Xu Shichu shook his head and said, "I use these flowers to make spices, not to use them.

Come to watch.”

"Hey, can't you really let others see it? It only takes one day to have a flower viewing feast... What a pity it would be if no one can appreciate the flowers in your yard? You can also let people experience it before making spices.

They are so beautiful." Mrs. Li continued to persuade them without giving up.

However, Xu Shichulang was so determined that he would not do it even if he said he didn't want to.

Mrs. Li suddenly had an idea: "How about you open a flower shop and bring some of the flowers in your yard to the shop to sell. This will not trouble you, and those who are interested can also come to the shop to view it.

They can watch it as long as they like."

Xu Shichu's eyes lit up: "It's possible! Flowers are sold as spices, so why can't the original flowers and grass be sold? Thank you for your idea. You can choose a flower belt when you leave later.

Walk!"

Mrs. Li's face flushed with excitement and she couldn't wait to walk among the flowers: "I will definitely pick them carefully!"

After seeing Mrs. Li off, Xu Shichu started planning a flower shop. Flowers and plants were readily available, so just buy one from the shop. The staff could find a gardener who knew how to grow flowers. The shop was called Baihua Pavilion.

Baihua Pavilion takes a high-end route, not too expensive, and only sells rare and rare flowers and plants. The monthly sales volume is rare, and the selling price is certainly not cheap. It can even be set at auction.

So soon, there was a flower shop called Baihua Pavilion in the capital, selling all kinds of exotic flowers and plants that were not found elsewhere.

As soon as Baihua Pavilion opened, many ladies and ladies of high-ranking officials and nobles were welcomed, and the flowers and plants prepared in the shop were all snatched up as soon as they were put out, so the shopkeepers had to put out more common flowers and plants to decorate the shop.

inside so that the store doesn't look so empty.

It was all thanks to Mrs. Li who spared no effort in promoting Xu Shichu's flower shop among the ladies that Xu Shichu's flower shop had such a large flow of people just after it opened.

The flowers in Baihua Pavilion are indeed novel and beautiful, giving them an exotic feel that is not found in local flowers and plants. This has attracted many ladies and ladies to pursue them, whether for elegance or freshness.

After the women brought the flowers and plants home, they naturally attracted the attention of the men. Men also appreciate flowers and plants, otherwise the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums would not be given the noble and unyielding meaning by the scholars, so the Baihua Pavilion was established overnight.

It became popular among high-ranking officials and nobles, and everyone was proud to own a pot of flowers and plants from Baihua Pavilion. They even held flower fighting banquets from time to time to compete with whose flowers and plants were more beautiful...
