Chapter 62: Flowers
Yang Ning didn't have any inappropriate thoughts about this woman, but he just vaguely remembered that he had hit someone when he was chasing the elder of gray robe. In desperation, he didn't have time to stop and apologize, but he seemed to be wearing such a water-green light shirt. He was about to come forward to ask, but when he saw the woman lowering her head, he couldn't go up immediately.
The old flower seller heard the woman ask for the price and hurried over and said, "Did the girl take a fancy to this jinkang silver platform?" He gave a thumbs up, "What a good look. Girl is an expert. You can search all over the street. In this kind of season, it is extremely difficult to find jinkang silver platform. There will never be more than three pots on this street."
The woman then looked up and said, "I have looked for it on the street. I see you have it here, so I ask how much money you want."
"It seems that the girl really likes it." The flower seller smiled and said, "Since you are an expert, you know that even this golden silver table is not cheap on weekdays. Not to mention such a season, it is even more difficult to find. If the girl wants to take it away, you will be able to give two taels of silver."
"Two...two taels of silver?" The woman frowned, obviously not expecting that the price of a pot of flowers was so expensive.
The old man selling flowers naturally saw that the woman thought the flowers were expensive and explained: "I saw that the girl understood the flowers and wanted to sell them to you. I have been running a flower shop here for many years and will never open the price randomly. If the girl finds something cheaper than this, I will not take the pot of flowers for the girl."
The woman hesitated for a moment, looked at the basin of calenders and silver tables, and smiled reluctantly, "Then I'll take a look elsewhere." She turned around and walked, took two steps, turned around and looked again, feeling quite reluctant.
Although Yang Ning didn't understand flowers, he could see that the woman liked this pot of calenders and silver table very much. When he saw that the woman was about to leave, he finally said, "Girl, wait!"
The woman was stunned. Yang Ning had already stepped forward and said to the old man selling flowers: "Is this two taels of silver?"
"The prince wants to buy this pot of flowers too?" The old man hurriedly said: "Originally, the prince wants flowers, and he can be filial to the prince to appreciate it, but... it's just that the flower market has rules, and it can't be broken, otherwise other families will...!"
Yang Ning smiled and said, "I understand." He took out the purse from his body, took two taels of silver and sent it over, then picked up the pot of flowers, walked to the woman, and said with a smile, "Miss loves this pot of flowers, just take it away."
The woman immediately shook her head and said, "No." She was obviously a little nervous and turned around to leave. Yang Ning hurriedly said, "Does the girl think I'm too abrupt? Actually, I have no other intentions. You deserve this pot of flowers."
The woman stopped, turned around and said strangely: "Why did the prince say that?"
"If I remember correctly, I ran into the girl in a hurry before, and I wonder if this happened?" Yang Ning was not very sure.
The woman lowered her head and whispered: "You did it unintentionally, I...I have forgotten."
Yang Ning stretched his eyebrows, thinking that he had not recognized the wrong person, and said with a smile: "I accidentally hit the girl. The girl didn't care about me, but I couldn't pretend to be stupid. Even if this pot of flowers is an apology to the girl, the girl must accept it, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
The old man selling flowers has already received the money and just wants to complete the deal. He said to the side: "Girl, the prince is a great man. He was not even afraid of the prince of Shu just now. He stood up. If the prince has such a wish, you can accept it."
"I...I saw it just now." The woman was a little restrained, and her cheeks were flushed. "But I can't collect this flower, I can't accept things at will."
Yang Ning said: "This is not something that can be taken care of by others, but something that apologizes to the girl."
"No." The woman still shook her head.
Yang Ning thought for a while before laughing: "The girl seems to love this golden silver table very much. I actually don't know flowers. It's better to do this. If the girl has time, she can tell me the flowers and plants here so that I can have a long experience. I don't know what to do?"
The old man selling flowers said anxiously: "The girl is a person who understands flowers at first glance. Since the prince wants to taste flowers, she can have a discussion with the prince and let the old man know more. Maybe this pot of flowers can be given to the girl."
"This...!" The woman looked at the golden silver table in Yang Ning's hand, hesitated, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Actually, I don't know much."
Yang Ning hurriedly said, "No more, I dare to ask the girl, the name of this Jintang Silver Platform is unique, so how can I explain it?"
Seeing that Yang Ning was very kind, the woman became a little more courageous. She smiled slightly, and was sweet and charming. She raised her slender jade finger and pointed at the golden silver platform and said, "Prince, put down this pot of flowers and look carefully from above."
According to the woman's words, Yang Ning put down the flower pot in his hand and looked down. The woman came forward slightly and said, "Look at this flower, there are white petals all around it. After it blooms, will it look like a silver tabletop, and the yellow bud in the middle look like a calender?"
Yang Ning hadn't noticed it at first, but after hearing the woman's explanation, she looked carefully and said happily: "It's not bad, it's what it means. This bud really looks like a golden wine cup placed on the table."
"This is already very good." The woman smiled and said, "It is clear that this kind of flowers is not the case. Some petals spread out and it is difficult to form a tabletop. Some buds are not in good shape and do not have the appearance of calenders. Only by taking care of them carefully and the climate is suitable can this look be produced."
"Oh, in this way, is the chance of growing like this very little?" Yang Ning asked.
The woman thought for a while and said, "As far as I know, one of the five hundred flowers may be born like this."
"The girl is very knowledgeable." The old man selling flowers gave a thumbs up, "He is truly an authentic expert. The old man has runs a flower shop here for many years and has bought flowers countless people, but most of them seem to understand the arts and elegance, but there are only a handful of people who really understand flowers...!" Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that Yang Ning didn't understand flowers either. It was embarrassing and dared not continue talking.
Yang Ning smiled and said, "You are right, there are so many artful people." He said, "In this way, this golden cup is really a choice among the silver tables. No wonder the girl favors it so much."
The woman thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not that I like it, it's that my mother likes this kind of flower. In her life, she has the only love for the Jintang Yintai."
"Lingtang must be a simple and elegant person." Yuan Rong's voice came from the side. The boy was slow and he finally came over and said with a smile: "Only a simple and elegant person like Lingtang can raise a girl."
Yuan Rong suddenly came, which shocked the woman. She was already relaxed and nervous again, but Yang Ning couldn't help glaring at Yuan Rong, thinking that this kid had a very poor eye, so he ran up to make up for something at this time. It was not easy to rush him away in front of others.
"Some people come here to let me shine brightly, the little flower shop." The old flower seller of course also saw that Yuan Rong was from a noble family and raised his hand and said, "There are many good varieties in this room. It is better for you to go in and watch them, or you may find the varieties you like." He said to the woman: "The girl is a person who understands flowers, so please give her advice together."
The woman looked nervous and restrained, shook her head and said, "I...I won't go in anymore, my mother is still waiting for me at home."
"Girl, it's still early, so there's no need to hurry." Yang Ning admired the woman's knowledge of flowers and raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, girl, we are just appreciating flowers. You also said that this golden cups and silver table is what Lingtang likes, but you don't know what flowers the girl likes? Maybe you can find the varieties that the girl likes here?" He glanced at Yuan Rong and said, "Although this person is not very rules, with me here, the girl doesn't have to worry about him, just pretend that he doesn't exist."
When the woman heard what Yang Ning said, she smiled sweetly, and Yuan Rong said with a bitter face: "Brother Ning, how could she say that she is brother like this? Why am I not regular?"
However, the woman did not refuse Yang Ning's words. She was obviously a person who loved flower traits very much. The old flower seller led into the house and saw that the spacious lobby was surrounded by flowers and plants of different shapes, and the fragrance of flowers and plants filled the house, which was fascinating.
When the woman saw the flowers and plants around, her clear eyes showed joy. The old man smiled and said, "Since you are enjoying the flowers today, the old man dared to ask a question. I wonder what the three of you mean?"
"Oh?" Yuan Rong shook his folding fan and said with a smile: "You can tell me what kind of questions you can have?"
Yang Ning thought to myself that I knew nothing about flowers and plants, and I really wanted to come up with this problem. I looked at it in a dark way, but the woman was right next to me, so it was hard to refuse. He smiled and said, "Girl..., yes, I don't know what the girl calls her?" He also knew that it was a presumptuous thing to ask the girl's name in this era, and added: "If it is inconvenient, it's okay not to say it."
The woman thought for a while and said, "Just call me Xiaoyao."
"Is it Yao from Yao Chi?"
The woman slighted her head and Yang Ning smiled and said, "It turns out it's Miss Xiaoyao. This uncle wants to give us a question. What do you think about Miss Xiaoyao?"
Xiao Yao seemed a little interested and asked, "I wonder what the question is?"
The old man smiled and said, "The old man's question is actually very simple. Let's talk about it. Among the flowers and plants in the garden, what kind of flowers is the leader among the flowers?"
The leader among flowers?
Yang Ning couldn't help but raise his hand and touched his nose, glanced at Yuan Rong, but Yuan Rong laughed, put away the folding fan, and said, "I'll come first." He raised the folding fan and pointed at a place, "In my opinion, the king of this flower is not the best 'full of the peony'."
Yang Ning thought to himself that you have good eyesight. It seems that you have some knowledge on the flower path. The old man who sells flowers said that the "Mantanghong" in the house is the treasure of the store, but this kid pointed it out at once.
The whole house is full of red, the flowers are as famous as their name, and the red is bright and beautiful and joyful.
"There is a red hall, the flowers are tender, and the style of a national scholar." Yuan Rong walked slowly over and said proudly: "Its color is pure and profound. It symbolizes that my great Chu is prosperous and prosperous. The country has been around for thousands of years. It is auspicious from the sky. As the saying goes, the clear waves of clear water, the fertile soil of thick soil, the essence of the mountain and the soft heart of the beautiful water, and the beautiful water has gathered. It has come from ancient times, and it is bright and colorful from the years, and it is as bright as the new flowers, and it is as beautiful as the flowers are more beautiful."
