Chapter 76 Spring Orchid and Loushan Red



Upon lifting the light blue curtain, the first thing that catches the eye is a small table, a chair, and a couch, all made of jujube branches, exuding a sense of grandeur in their simplicity.

On the table near the window, in a round-bellied earthenware jar, a bright red orchid was in full bloom.

When you get close, you can smell a leisurely and lingering fragrance.

Su Hua stared at the orchid with petals as soft as velvet, her almond-shaped eyes widening instantly. "It's actually a spring orchid, Lou Shan Hong!"

Rumor has it that a single orchid can cost at least six figures.

He has six branches, one, two, three... six in total, and their appearance and flower shape are all of the highest quality.

I'm afraid even a single one wouldn't cost six figures.

This person just puts such a precious item right on the table. Aren't they afraid of being stolen?

She suddenly remembered her mother's words: the Xiao family treated Xiao Jinhan very badly, not even giving him a decent set of clothes. She had been thinking about making him clothes these past two days, but did the wealthy and powerful family look like someone who didn't have clothes?

"Spring Orchid and Loushan Red? That's a very nice name." Xiao Jinhan glanced at the girl's expression and said gently, "I came across this by chance at Fuhu Mountain. I thought it was quite unique, so I brought it back. If Miss Su likes it, I'll give it to you..."

"No, there's no need." Su Hua quickly refused upon hearing this, understanding the principle that a gentleman does not take what others cherish.

She was afraid that holding such a big treasure would hurt her hands!

In the center of the desk, there was a fine set of the Four Treasures of the Study. The brush was placed on the inkstone, its tip still dipped in ink. On the Xuan paper next to the brush, there seemed to be an unfinished painting.

Wearing a floor-length ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) and with long hair reaching her waist, she was clearly a woman.

However, the surface was completely blank.

Moreover, her figure appears somewhat overly plump...

At this moment, Xiao Jinhan quickened his pace.

Without making a sound, remove the portrait and put it in a drawer under the desk.

"Pfft!" Su Hua couldn't help but chuckle when she saw the embarrassed look on the man's face.

She then tiptoed and gently patted his shoulder, "Young Master Xiao, there's no need to hide it. I understand. It's quite common for young men to be in love."

After saying that, she raised her eyebrows and lowered her voice a few decibels, "Besides, everyone has their own preferences. Some people like fair-skinned, young, and thin women, while others prefer women who are rich and beautiful. It's all perfectly normal."

Warm breaths fell all around my ears.

The man's earlobes instantly turned bright red. He couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly to look at the girl's constantly smacking red lips, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He sighed inwardly and pulled out the armchair for the girl.

He gently put his arm around her shoulder and sat her down in the armchair.

"Miss Su, please."

Su Hua looked up, and by sheer coincidence, her gaze fell directly on the man's bright red ear tips.

She raised an eyebrow, moved a few steps closer to the man, and said with a mischievous grin, "Don't worry, Young Master Xiao, I will keep this matter of the beauty on paper a secret and will absolutely not let any third party besides the two of us know about it!"

Sure enough, before the words were even finished...

Then the redness from the tips of the man's ears suddenly spread to his face.

Her face was instantly flushed crimson.

Like clusters of red plum blossoms suddenly blooming on a winter's snow, they are incredibly alluring.

"I suddenly remembered something..." Xiao Jinhan felt as if he had been thrown into a fire. Whether it was out of embarrassment or something else, his previously cold body suddenly burst into flames. Especially the girl's red lips, which were opening and closing just inches away, exuding the fragrance of grass and trees, seemed to have an extreme attraction.

He clenched his fists, but his body was still burning hot as if it were boiling.

Finally, he moved with lightning speed, leaving only a message in the wind: "Miss Su, please go ahead, I'll be right back."

Su Hua glanced at the man's disheveled retreating figure.

For a moment, her clear, almond-shaped eyes were stunned.

Immediately, he burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha..."

She truly hadn't expected that the man who could defeat a wild boar with a tree branch would have such a playful personality in private. Whenever he mentioned his sweetheart, he would blush to the roots of his neck, completely unlike his usual self, and instead acted like a young boy.

She remembered that Su Baishi once said that Xiao Jinhan went to the battlefield at the age of eight and returned ten years later, which meant that he was only eighteen years old this year.

It's perfectly normal to have someone you like during the prime of your youth.

However, Xiao Jinhan actually prefers plump beauties.

Hmm...that's quite unique.

Su Hua sat in the armchair and glanced at the sky through the window. She saw that the round sun was now half-hanging in the sky. Obviously, it would be noon soon, and she had to hurry.

She raised her hand and picked up the calligraphy brush on the table.

First and foremost is Hongxiao.

The red trumpet flower has seven petals, all of which are crimson red, while the center of the flower is crimson gold.

It seems that writing in the Yu Dynasty only involved ink blocks, not pigments. On Xiao Jinhan's desk was a block of pine soot ink. In the past, the original owner had glanced at her former scumbag fiancé's desk, and he usually only used ink blocks.

At that time, the original owner only glanced at his desk before being immediately chased away by Feng Zha Zha.

She looked as if she would pollute the air in his study.

Not to mention letting the original owner touch his writing brush and ink.

However, if there are no conditions, you can create them yourself.

Su Hua turned her head to look at the spring orchid Loushanhong in the deep ceramic basin. If you only look at the flower color, Loushanhong is actually similar to Hongxiao, with the petals being red and the flower center being gold.

Just then, a flower fell to the ground from the soil in the pot.

Simply crush a few petals and the center of a Cymbidium goeringii flower, and you have the best pigment...

After a full cup of tea's time.

The curtain swayed slightly.

Su Hua looked up at the sound and saw Xiao Jinhan walk in, exuding a chilling aura.

Water droplets still clung to his ink-black hair.
