When the villagers heard that it was Master He who asked Zhang Xin to plant colorful roses, they all felt that Zhang Xin was so unlucky, being entrusted with such an impossible task and becoming the target of his anger.
Out of guilt from last night, many villagers mustered up the courage to speak up for Zhang Xin.
"Master He, your family is a flower supplier to the imperial court. You should know that growing these colorful roses in our small place is extremely difficult!"
"Yes, then please don't embarrass the people in our village!"
"Your He family is already one of the best flower merchants in the Great Sheng Dynasty. If even you can't grow it, how can we ordinary people grow it?"
This Mr. He was unable to complete the task given by his aunt and wanted to find a scapegoat to shirk responsibility.
Jiang Lili and the others urged in unison: "Mr. He, please release Brother Zhang Xin."
"You want to stop me? I'm not a gentle man."
He Jing swung the nunchaku in his hand in front of Jiang Lili: "Don't blame me for being blind!"
He Jing wanted to scare Jiang Lili away, but he didn't expect Jiang Lili to suddenly take out something and was hit by his nunchaku.
It's an orange rose!
But with a swing of He Jing's nunchaku, the rose bud was knocked off, and the orange petals scattered to the ground, leaving only bare branches in Jiang Lili's hands.
"This is the different-colored rose I want!"
He Jing saw that the colorful rose he had been looking for was smashed into pieces by his nunchaku. He screamed and fell to the ground, trying to piece the petals together again.
"What should I do? If I don't give Auntie a gift that she likes, I'll be scolded again!"
He Jing was almost crying. He quickly asked Jiang Lili, "Do you have any more? I'll buy it no matter how much it costs!"
Jiang Lili smiled faintly: "May I ask if this is the birthday gift you want to give to the Patriarch of the He family?"
Jiang Lili took out a yellow rose of the Jade Rose variety from behind her as if by magic.
"Golden branches and jade leaves, a house full of wealth."
He Jing was stunned. Yellow roses?
As the flower supplier for the imperial court, the He family has seen many rare flowers, but this yellow rose is truly rare!
The villagers nearby also opened their eyes.
"These yellow flowers are much prettier than the rape flowers in our village!"
"Dad, what are you looking at? This is worlds apart from rapeseed flowers."
He Jing was stunned. The person in front of him could take out two different-colored roses in succession. Each variety was an explosive existence in their flower industry.
And this girl could just casually break one without blinking!
Just as He Jing was stunned, Jiang Lili chuckled: "Don't like it? Then change it!"
She threw the yellow rose, and He Jing's heart ached when he saw Jiang Lili's action. The servant beside He Jing rushed to catch it.
You know, they have been influenced by the He family, and roses of this color can be said to be extinct. Isn't this exactly what the young master wants!
However, the yellow rose fell to the ground and was first covered in mud.
He Jing became nervous: "Pick it up quickly and wipe it carefully with silk!"
Jiang Lili took out another rose named "Loseshen". The outer layer of this variety of rose is light pink, and the color gradually becomes darker from the outer layer to the center of the flower, giving it the beauty of a blurred ink painting.
He Jing's eyes lit up again, and just as he was about to reach out to take it, Jiang Lili threw the flower to him again.
"Ah hey hey!" He Jing was so frightened that his heart was trembling. He quickly rushed over to catch the Luoshen Rose!
Jiang Lili now had a rose of a fourth color in her hand. The variety was called Zixia Fairy. The petals were light purple, and the texture of the petals looked like satin under the sunlight.
Jiang Lili threw the flowers directly on the ground and raised her foot to step on them!
"Auntie, I was wrong just now! I was so disrespectful to you!"
He Jing leaped forward and protected the flower with his hands, but Jiang Lili stepped directly on his wrist.
He Jing said pitifully: "Please stop wasting flowers!"
Jiang Lili stepped on his wrist and took out a bouquet of blue roses from behind her back. The blue roses were covered with glitter, emitting a layer of fragmented light in the afterglow of the sunset, and matched with the bright face of the person holding the flowers.
He Jing looked up at Jiang Lili and suddenly felt like he was struck by something.
He stared at the bouquet of roses with wide eyes. Blue! Glowing!
There are actually blue roses in this world?!
Jiang Lili saw that He Jing looked stunned. This was the Chelsea blue that she had picked specially. She didn't believe that she couldn't grasp the aesthetic taste of this energetic young man.
"Why, you're not satisfied with the color?"
He Jing was furious: "Auntie, what exactly do you want me to do to show mercy?"
Jiang Lili: "Don't make things difficult for the Zhang family and the villagers of Tianshui Village. They already have experts who have taught them how to use their crops. The next season's output will surely be very good. You won't lose out."
"I promise you! I'll agree to whatever you say!"
He Jing nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, afraid that if he nodded too slowly, the bouquet of flowers in Jiang Lili's hand would fall to the ground. "How much do you want for this bouquet of flowers?"
Jiang Lili stretched out a finger. This bouquet of Blue Roses was also found by Xiaopang in the trash can. She bought it for 0 yuan and sold it for ten taels of silver, which was a huge profit.
"One hundred taels?! Don't regret it!"
He Jing took out a piece of paper from his arms and pressed it into Jiang Lili's hand. He took the bouquet of blue roses in Jiang Lili's hand and held it in his hands as if it were precious and a treasure.
This time it was Jiang Lili's turn to be stunned. She held the 100-liang silver note in her hand and felt for the first time that money was so easy to earn. She lamented that the gap between the rich and the poor was really too huge.
Ten taels of silver were enough to cover the living expenses of a family of four for half a year in ancient times.
