Chapter 157 If you want to take first, you must give first
Watching the carriage go away, Brother Yuan said: "Second Master Shen, he looks good. The deed is very honest, and it looks like he is not bad for money."
Some of the main points he thought of, such as no need for compensation if the plant does not live, such as the quantity should be limited, such as the wages are not the same according to the value of the cost... Everyone thought of it all, and it was all written in the contract, nothing at all. calculating.
And in terms of wages, it is set at two cents of the market price, that is to say, if the market price is sold for one hundred taels, the wages will be two taels, because he is all precious flowers, and a pot can cost several thousand taels, so the wages are considered very generous. up.
Yan Shen Jue said: "I don't see anyone's fault, that's right. I only know that if you want to take something first, you must give it first."
Brother Yuan nodded: "That's true. He was loyal in the contract, and he didn't ask any more questions. He was somewhat sure that you could save him, and he might send someone to spy on him."
The second elder brother said: "I have answered all of them."
"Haha, yes," Brother Yuan said with a smile, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
After a pause, he changed the subject: "Do you know that Xiaoxie's tomb has chosen a place and started to build it. It's in a place called Laolangtun, not far from the county seat. I also heard that Even sent officials to supervise it!"
Second brother said in surprise, "Is it so important?"
"That's right," Brother Yuan said, "No matter how small it is, with such a sacred decree, you will have to run away. But don't worry, it should have nothing to do with you, after all, this is not something glorious, The more people involved, the less attractive it is. Officials are not stupid."
Second brother nodded.
Brother Yuan joked a few words before leaving.
Second brother sat back, and then cleaned up the stove to make medicine, while subconsciously looking at Xinbao.
Back then, when Tang Sanshui took the wrong medicine, Xinbao had that stone dream.
But later, when Pozi Liu died and Tang Sanshui died, Xinbao never had a dream.
It seems that he guessed right, whether Xinbao dreams or not really has something to do with whether she thinks it is important or not. When she first left the old house, Xinbao was still afraid of Tang Sanshui, but after Tang Sanshui was imprisoned or something, she gradually Don't be afraid anymore, so he died, and Xinbao couldn't dream anymore.
Second brother suddenly said: "Xiao Jue, tell me... You said that Xinbao is blessed, so will she turn bad luck into good luck, and make good luck when she dies? So I don't have to be too nervous about planting flowers, do I?"
"Yes," the beautiful boy said flatly, "I won't let Xinbao get into trouble, even when my bad luck is overwhelming, I still have the ability."
Second brother: "..."
He smiled and said: "So Yan Shaoxia, do you have any plans to take care of Xinbao's elder brother... me? After all, if something happens to me, Xinbao will be very sad too! Is it okay to be sad?"
The sonorous and cool painting style of the young boy suddenly changed.
Yan Shen Jue stared at him silently for a while.
He found out that the second brother is a man, if you play tricks he will be steady, if you are steady he will hide. In short, he is very good at playing cards not according to the rules and disrupting your rhythm.
He stood up silently, put the stool in front of Xinbao's bed, turned his back to him, and refused to communicate.
The second brother's brisk laughter sounded behind him.
He really thinks this kid is very funny.
When Xinbao woke up, he went to brush his teeth in a daze, and then saw two large flower pots next to him.
She just glanced at it casually, and then woke up for a second, her eyes widened, she couldn't help swallowing the green salt in her mouth, and pressed her neck tightly.
Xinbao obediently took a sip of water, spit it out again, and pointed there: "That?"
Yan Shen Jue said: "This is the flower of Second Master Shen, I want Xinbao to help raise it."
Xinbao, with water stains on his mouth, ran over there with his short legs, watching carefully.
This seems to be another extinct flower called viburnum.
Now the city flower of Yangzhou is also called Qionghua, but this kind of Qionghua is actually a flower called Jubaxian, which is different from the extinct ancient Qionghua of Yangzhou.
Zheng Xingyi's "Qinghua Bian" once listed three major differences between the ancient Qionghua and the Jubaxian: "The Qionghua is large and has thick petals, and its color is light yellow; the Jubaxianhua is small and thin, and its color is gradually blue. One: the leaves of viburnum are soft and lustrous, the leaves of the eight immortals are thick and have awns, the difference is two; .”
This is enough to prove that these are two different flowers.
It is said that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug the Grand Canal in order to see the ancient Qionghua, but he was killed by Yu Wenhua and the rebels in Yangzhou. Very rarely, it was not until the Song Dynasty that it gradually revived.
It is said that Song Renzong once transplanted Gu Qionghua to Kaifeng, and Song Xiaozong also transplanted it to Hangzhou, but both of them withered over the years. Once they were carried back to Yangzhou, the dead wood recovered, so Gu Qionghua is also called Yangzhou Qionghua. Flower, the flower of love.
Han Qi's "Qiong Flower in Houtu Temple" once praised: "A single flower in Weiyang has no similar kind in the world; the earth temple after every year is uniquely more expensive than Qiongyao."
Ouyang Xiu was the prefect of Yangzhou, and once built the "Wu Shuang Pavilion" for flowers, implying unparalleled in the world.
But when the Song Dynasty fell, all of them died.
Qing Dynasty's "Qiong Hua Zhi" once recorded that "the flower was planted in the Han and Tang Dynasties, two flourished in the Song Dynasty, one was exposed in the Jin Dynasty, and then withered in the Yuan Dynasty."
But apart from written records, there are no images of ancient Qionghua in Yangzhou handed down.
At this time, the two flowers in front of me are also withered and withered, and many details cannot be distinguished, but I don’t know why, Xinbao just feels it, this must be Gu Qionghua, the Gu Qionghua that has become extinct in later generations!
Xinbao's big eyes were shining, his whole body was immersed in the flower branch in front of him, and he remained motionless for a long while.
She didn't notice at all that the big rock in her mind suddenly appeared. Amidst the clouds and mist, on the big rock, in a corner of the small world, there was a faint light flashing, like flowers that were not clear at first, suddenly changed It seemed clear and vivid.
It only appears and then disappears.
After a long time, the second elder brother couldn't help but said, "Xinbao?"
Duanzi blinked.
Second brother said softly, "What's wrong with Xinbao?"
Tuanzi murmured dumbfoundedly: "Xinbao likes this flower."
The second elder brother pressed her little head, and said to Yan Shen: "When signing the contract, why didn't we think about keeping a pot of each kind of flower? It's really vulgar to only think about the wages."
Looking at the enthusiastic little eyes of Tuanzi, he really felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry Xinbao, yesterday's Yipinbi, brother didn't ask you, so I gave it to you."
Xinbao blinked her eyes, and she said: "It's okay, Xinbao likes it, but as long as there are a few, and it grows well in one place, Xinbao will be happy, and there is no need to stay at home."
Second brother: "..."
He deeply felt that he would never be able to compare with his sister's realm in this life.
He was speechless for a while, just rubbing the little head of the dumpling silently.
Yan Chenjue took a step forward and handed him the green salt box. The second elder brother knew that he wanted him to take the box so that he could leave his sister's head, but he deliberately pretended not to understand and took it with the other hand. up the box.
