Chapter 424 She had a feeling that the space would give her a surprise
Qiao Xuan hurriedly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if there are no saplings. I just need some branches."
The eldest lady said with a smile: "Xiaoxuan, you really have good taste! You look down on others and only like those!"
Aunt Hua couldn't help laughing, "That's right!"
The eldest lady said: "Your great uncle has always loved these. We have collected countless furniture made of huanghuali, small-leaf red sandalwood, mahogany, ebony, white sandalwood, etc. Your great uncle still felt that it was not enough. Since more than 30 years ago, he has asked people to bring these saplings from various places to plant them. Over the years, in addition to this South Garden, there are also two manors with these trees."
"Some of those saplings grew up, while others didn't. The ones in South Garden are the best."
"I'll have someone go to the other two manors to see if there are any suitable saplings. If there are, they'll be sent over. If not, have Xiao'er ask someone to buy them back. This branch is useless, but it's not that I don't want to give it to you!"
Since Qiao Xuan had asked, even though what she wanted was a little unexpected, the eldest lady naturally would not refuse.
Even if her husband treasured these things, he would not be reluctant to share some with Qiao Xuan. If he really couldn't bear to part with them, he could just buy more saplings and plant them again.
Qiao Xuan couldn't wait to buy another sapling, and smiled shyly, "Aunt, there's no need to go through so much trouble. To be honest, I'm good at planting plants and flowers. As long as I have branches, I can graft and cultivate them. It's okay if there are no saplings."
Madam: “.”
Although Qiao Xuan tried her best to conceal it, Madam Le Zheng still noticed a little bit and realized how eager she was for it.
Well, in that case, just give her the branch.
Of course, I also asked someone to get the saplings, and then I would ask Xiao'er to deliver them to her later.
To be honest, Lady Le Zheng doesn't really believe in the concept of grafting and cultivation.
But she pretended to believe it: "Is that so? That's fine too! Aunt Hua, send someone over to get some branches. Bundle them up carefully and pack them away."
"Yes, Madam!"
"Thank you, auntie!"
"You're welcome, Xiaoxuan," the eldest lady said with a smile, "By the way, what kind of branches do you want? Please talk to Madam Hua."
Qiao Xuan thought about it and said with a smile: "It doesn't need to be too big, nor too long, and it doesn't need to be a dead branch."
She gestured: "This size will do!"
Madam Hua nodded: "I'll make a note of it!"
Qiao Xuan was overjoyed!
Done!
She had a feeling that her home space would give her a surprise!
After strolling around for a while, the eldest lady took them back to the house to have tea, snacks and chat about family matters.
At lunch, Le Zhengxiao and his son accompanied Shao Yunduan and Xiaoqi, while Madam Le Zheng accompanied Qiao Xuan and Taotao.
The eldest lady put a lot of effort into this meal. She specially called in the chef from the mansion yesterday and started preparing some ingredients last night. It took her most of the day to prepare the dish, which was exquisite and delicious as you can imagine.
Every aristocratic family with some background has a few unknown private dishes and snacks. The Lezheng family is no exception.
The most famous dishes of Lezheng are bird's nest in clear soup and abalone elbow.
