Chapter 96 Lan Xue
Lanxuetang is famous for growing precious orchids.
For example, the flame orchid, with its vibrant red like flames, is extremely rare. The old lady spent a fortune hiring a gardener to keep the flame orchid alive. Thus, her fame as an orchid lover spread throughout Jinling.
Another example is the ghost orchid, which grows in swamps. It's not found in Jinling, but rather on the border between Southern Yan and Northern Jin, where a swamp exists. Upon hearing about it, the old lady rushed there and waited for three days and three nights until the ghost orchid bloomed before taking it away. The ghost orchid's pale white flowers, resembling ghosts, were so unique that they attracted many women, both to see them and to befriend the old lady.
Another example is the Suguan Heding orchid, which combines lotus petals, a white heart, and rare grassy leaves. It is incredibly valuable. By this time, the old lady had already gained considerable experience in orchid cultivation, having painstakingly cultivated them and, it is said, earned the reputation of an orchid expert.
Another example is the recently popular Grandmother Jade Orchid, whose leaves are as emerald green as jade and whose flowers are as bright red as maple leaves, a perfect combination. The old lady has already established herself as an orchid fairy, relying on the auspiciousness of the word "Grandmother".
When Zhu Huaizhen came to return the gift the next day, the old nanny started chattering non-stop, listing everything like the back of her hand.
Ahem, this old lady is not the same old lady from yesterday.
It is said that the old lady yesterday took sick leave and was afraid to face her, Zhu Huaizhen.
The old nanny was very surprised, as it was rumored that Princess Ronghua was arrogant and domineering.
Why, the bright girl in front of me, listening to her carefully, is as chaste as an orchid in a valley.
Haha, Zhu Huai is really too lazy to refute.
The old lady didn't offend her.
Zhu Huaizhen remembered that Xiao Ge was also an expert in growing orchids.
However, Xiao Ge doesn't like to bring orchids home. He believes that orchids should grow in the wild, bathed in sunlight and air, and often watched by true orchid lovers.
Of course, Zhu Huaizhen didn’t think that there was anything wrong with the old lady’s approach.
Zhu Huaizhen's personality is that if she likes something, she must get it.
When they arrived at the hall, Huilan, the first-class maidservant beside the old lady, bowed and said with a smile, "Madam Zhu, it's really unfortunate that the old lady is resting. Even I dare not go in to disturb her."
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen casually said "oh".
This is to leave Zhu Huaizhen out in the cold.
She suddenly felt that her elder sister, Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu, had said something that made sense. Where there are people, there will be conflict. If you're not combative, others will be. The ultimate harmony is when the strong defeat the weak, leaving them without fighting spirit.
Since the old lady wants to fight, Zhu Huaizhen will definitely join her.
"Then I'll wait for a while." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.
So Huilan warmed cup of tea for Zhu Huaizhen.
The tea is good tea, Dongting Biluochun, which Zhu Huaizhen loves to drink.
However, after waiting for an hour, the old lady was still resting.
Zhu Huaizhen was not polite.
She lifted her skirt and made a move to break into the old lady's bedroom. She raised her voice and shouted, "Old lady, you've slept for an hour. It's time to get up! If you sleep any longer, I will suspect that you can't sleep any longer!"
The old lady was leisurely enjoying her tea and cakes, and didn't want to pay attention to Zhu Huaizhen.
However, Zhu Huaizhen has a lot of clever ideas.
"Old Madam, I've been bored lately, so I raised a bamboo green snake. If you don't come out, I'll let the bamboo green snake out to play." Zhu Huaizhen took out a slender bamboo tube from his sleeve, shook it gently, and smiled with gloating smile.
After she finished speaking, Huilan screamed as if she had encountered a poisonous snake.
Then the old lady rushed out in a rage.
