Everyone burst into laughter, Xixia's face turned from red to white, then from white to blue, staring at Shu'er.

Seeing him choked, Shu'er raised her chin proudly and gave him a look of contempt.

If he can't deal with this yellow-haired girl today, how will he survive in the future?

Xixia sneered and said: "Ignore her, let me in, and push anyone out of the way!"

After saying that, he took a step back, and the two young boys with big muscles and round waists pushed forward.

Shu'er smelled the smell of sweat on their bodies and saw that they were serious. He couldn't help but panic. He turned around and grabbed the long and thick door latch and stood at the door. He said out of breath: "Who dares?

" At this time, a lazy voice came from the corridor.

"Xixia, right? You brought a group of people to my yard without being informed, and you sold my girl without fear of disturbing me? Did I hear you right?" The voice was soft and smooth, It sounded particularly pleasant. Although it was a question, it sounded like gossip.

Everyone looked down the corridor with their eyes wide open, and saw a tall, slender woman standing in the corridor, with fair-skinned skin and a garnet-red dress that was particularly dazzling.

For a moment, the boys standing behind Xixia were stunned.

This young lady, who had been ill for a long time and had been out of the hospital, turned out to be like this.

Why did everyone previously say that she was a sick and shameless woman with a yellow face?

Xixia has been with the young master for a long time, but she has met the young lady a few times. The young lady has stopped taking care of the family's affairs since she fell seriously ill last autumn.

He still remembered that once, Aunt Biwu, who had given birth to the eldest son of a concubine, took advantage of the young master's favor and pretended to be crazy under the pretext of drinking, and came to her.

She just ordered people to close the door and ignored him.

The young master took over the girl Xiansu, the most popular upright official in Fangyunzhai. The girl accidentally spilled tea on her jade-white embroidered skirt and praised her beautiful skirt.

She wasn't in a hurry, she changed hands and gave away the skirt to Xiansu.

What she did made her wife, who had not been very fond of her in the past, take pity on her. She also told the young master several times behind his back, saying that he was a legitimate concubine and his elders could not tolerate confusion.

After being quiet for a long time, is she going to show off her power today?

I can't compare to those favored aunts. If I don't rely on her and go to the madam, I will have to suffer a little.

Xixia thought of this and stepped forward to apologize.

"Xixia has met the young madam. Please forgive me, young madam. The young one followed the young master's instructions and came to carry the flowers and arrange them. Shu'er just misunderstood, and the young one also said something wrong. It was just a joke, otherwise it was With the ten courages of the younger ones, even the younger ones would not dare to act so boldly."

Mudan did not comment and just asked: "Can the young master tell you which pots to carry?"

Xixia reported one by one: "Wei Zi, Yao Yellow, jade tower with emerald green, purple robe with gold belt, Yaotai jade dew."

Peony nodded and said: "Shu'er, show Xixia which pots they are. Be careful not to damage the branches, leaves and flower buds. "

So you're going to let this rebellious and rude slave go? "

Shu'er was extremely unhappy in her heart. She pursed her lips and reluctantly led Xixia inside, but blocked the group of boys who had not dared to say a word from the outside of the courtyard.

"Carry pot after pot, don't all rush in, be careful of intoxicating our young lady."

But no one dared to talk nonsense like before, they all held their breath and peeked at the peonies.

Peony was indifferent and fanned her plain white fan slowly. She narrowed her eyes and said, "The most important thing is this pot of Wei Zi. Be careful not to touch it."

Xixia knew in her heart that this pot would play the leading role tomorrow. Wei Zi, the Jade Banbai plant that Wei Zi and the young master spent a lot of effort to obtain.

This Wei Zi is naturally the top priority, and there is no room for failure.

Therefore, the first thing he looked at was the pot of Wei Zi. This pot of Wei Zi was said to be thirty years old, with a plant height of nearly three feet and a crown diameter of four feet. It was very rare and precious.

Such old peonies are usually planted directly on the ground.

Only this one, in order to facilitate the dowry, the He family had built an oversized flowerpot a few years in advance, and hired a gardener at a high price to carefully maintain it, and it is now in its current state.

Xixia counted the flowers and found that Wei Zi was blooming very well this year, as it was the New Year. There were twelve flowers in total, each about the size of a bowl of sea, and three or four buds. The petals, branches and leaves were all neatly arranged.

Shu'er watched from the side and said with disdain: "Such a beautiful flower, in the eyes of some people, is no more than a string of money. They can only count the flowers and branches and leaves, but don't know how to appreciate it at all."

Xixia rolled her eyes at her . With one glance, he walked towards the Yaohuang plant.

Yao Huang is the King of Flowers and Wei Zi is the Queen of Flowers. In terms of ranking, Yao Huang is still ahead of Wei Zi.

It's a pity that this pot of Yaohuang is not very old, and it is a potted plant. Although it has five or six flowers in bloom, it is dazzling, but it is far from compared with those six-foot-tall trees.

Looking at Jade Tower Diancui again, layers of jade-white petals are piled up like a pavilion, with a few emerald green petals in the center of the flower, which looks very fresh and elegant.
