Chapter 154: Coming for Peony

Tang Qingshan did not answer, and everyone returned home in silence.

It was not until they closed the door and were about to go to sleep that Tang Qingshan said, "Xinbao might want to plant some. Ask her tomorrow. If she wants to plant some, then you can tell Xiaojue."

The second brother responded.

Xinbao is very busy every day now. He has to eat quickly and practice martial arts after getting up in the morning. He is so busy that he has long forgotten about helping to grow herbs.

After they finished the walk, Xinbao was covered in sweat again. Yan Shenjue carried her home, and a girl of about seventeen or eighteen came forward to greet her.

Yan Shenjue said: "Xinbao, look at her, do you like her? Can you let her bathe Xinbao in the future?"

Xinbao turned around and looked.

The young lady had an oval face and a gentle appearance. She bowed with her eyebrows lowered and said, "Your servant Yuru greets the young lady."

Xinbao asked, "Where is that aunt?"

Yan Shenjue said, "That's the cook. She's clumsy and I don't like her, so I found another careful maid to serve you. If she doesn't wash well, Xinbao, tell me and I'll find another one. Do you like this one?"

Xinbao nodded: "I like it."

Yan Shenjue smiled and said, "Okay, let's go."

He gave Xinbao to the maid.

Yu Ru was obviously a carefully selected person. Her movements were gentle but efficient, and her smile was friendly. She didn't touch Xin Bao's little ticklish spot at all.

Xinbao enjoyed the wash so much that he almost fell asleep!

Oh, she is not a qualified time-traveling girl. She doesn’t even want to talk about equality with her. She thinks it’s so comfortable to have the young lady help her take a bath. She doesn’t want to take a bath by herself at all…

After taking a shower and changing clothes, when Xinbao came out, his hair was only slightly wet.

Yan Shenjue put a Hu hat on her and carried her out, and saw the housekeeper Dong Shu and Taiping outside, one on each side, holding a piece of cloth.

Yan Shenjue said: "Xinbao, take a look, will you feel dizzy like this?"

Xinbao looked up.

The piece of cloth was very large, more than half a person's height, and there were some seal characters written on it that were larger than a fist.

There are not many words, and they do not fill the entire piece of cloth. There is also a lot of space between words, so it looks like a painting.

Xinbao shook his little head: "I'm not dizzy."

"Okay," Yan Shenjue said, "Then Xinbao will point out the words you know."

Xinbao used his little hands to indicate the line of words, reading along the way: "One, Lin, Nine..."

Yan Shenjue was a little happy, and obviously he thought his teaching method was great.

He held her in his arms and read it to the end, then read it again from the beginning, pointing out the parts she had missed and teaching her one by one.

There are a lot of scribbles, no, when the balls of wool are mixed together, it is doubly difficult to recognize. Anyway, Xinbao only recognizes seal characters and regular script that look similar or the same, and the rest... he doesn't recognize any of them.

Yan Shenjue taught several times back and forth, and said with a smile: "I will write a normal Three Character Classic later, and then have someone hang this piece of cloth and the Three Character Classic on the wall of Xinbao's house. Xinbao, ask your second brother to teach you to recognize it every day. I will write a new Thousand Character Classic here, and then write... Zeng Guang Xian Wen. Then Xinbao can recognize it this way at home and here. Watch it every day, and you will learn it unconsciously."

Xinbao: “…”

You, are you a devil? ? ? Not long after Xinbao left, a carriage arrived in front of the Tang family.

A tall, thin old man got off the carriage and asked with a bow, "But the Tang family?"

The second brother put down the book and returned the greeting: "My family's surname is Tang, I wonder if yours is?"

The old man smiled and said, "My last name is Shen. I have met your brother before? And your sister. Is your brother here?"

The person behind also stepped forward and said with a smile: "This is our Second Master Shen, is Xinbao here?"

The second elder brother had never seen the two of them, but when he heard this, he understood and asked, "But Mr. Shen? Butler Anshun?"

Master Shen smiled and said, "That's right."

As soon as he came in, he caught a glimpse of the green peony next to him and pointed at it: "To be honest, I came here for this green peony."

The second elder brother hurriedly said, "Master Shen, please come in and serve tea first."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"You're welcome." Master Shen said, "Can I see if the flowers are good first?"

The second elder brother said, "Of course, please do as you wish. My brother and I are in the city. Thanks to the care of the second master and the housekeeper, we are able to sell candy in front of the Shen family's shop, which saves us a lot of trouble..."

His mind raced, and after a moment of hesitation, he continued, "And this Pin Bi was actually obtained from the housekeeper. We are country folk with limited knowledge, and we were lucky enough to support him. I heard that Mr. Shen was a flower lover, so I wanted to send it back to him. But then I thought, I didn't meet Mr. Shen when I bought the flowers, so I was afraid that sending it back would implicate the housekeeper. After much hesitation, I never went..."

Master Shen was already squatting there, looking back and forth several times, and said, "It is indeed those two trees! But they are clearly dead. If they were not dead, I would not have been willing to throw them away... How could they be alive again? It has only been more than half a month, and they are growing so well! Crazy Cheng spent two hundred taels of silver to buy seven pots, and showed off to me all night, and there is even one pot that is about to bloom..."

The more he thought about it, the more distressed he became: "What a waste of talent! I bought it for eight thousand taels! You sold it to me for two hundred taels! Even if you sold it for two thousand taels, I wouldn't be so distressed!!"

He was almost beating his chest.

The second elder brother said anxiously, "It's our fault. Fortunately, we didn't sell all of them. These four pots were picked out. We'll give them to Second Master Shen."

"That's not necessary," said Master Shen. "This flower is already dead in my hands. You can keep it alive because of your ability. I won't take advantage of you. I will buy it at the same price you gave me."

The second brother said a few humble words, but seeing that he was determined to do so and it was obvious that this was his character, he accepted the banknote.

Mr. Shen immediately asked Anshun to move the flowers back to the carriage, and asked, "Young Master, how do you keep these flowers alive?"

The second brother said: "It was just luck, we really just planted it randomly."

Master Shen then asked, "Is it really because of Tai Sui Earth?"

The second elder brother didn't expect that in just one night, he had found out about Tai Sui Tu. Then the fact that they were selling vegetables would certainly not be concealed. He hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should reveal the truth.

Although Mr. Shen was willing to lend a helping hand to them when they met by chance and took care of them many times afterwards, he should not be a bad person. However, whether he is a bad person or not and whether he will harm them are two completely different concepts.

He was anxious and didn't know how to deal with it, but he said, "I really don't know, but the vegetables we planted are indeed growing very fast."

Master Shen smiled and said, "Then would you be willing to sell me some of this Tai Sui soil?"
