Chen Wei smiled and said, "The imperial physician told me to walk every day. I came to visit the Marquis' Mansion to stretch my muscles. Madam Sun, take a look at these marigolds. Are the colors suitable?"
The maids carried out two pots of marigolds from the carriage. The flowers are bright, like the orange-red sunrise in the early morning.
The old lady of the Zhennan Marquis Mansion will celebrate her birthday tomorrow. The old lady loved marigolds very much, but with the arrival of early winter, the chrysanthemums withered.
Sun Qingmei learned that there were two pots of marigolds in Shen Wei's yard, which were carefully cultivated in a thatched greenhouse and the flowers were blooming luxuriantly. Sun Qingmei wrote a letter, asking for the two pots of marigolds.
