Is there anyone in the world who doesn't love flowers? !
Even if you don't know how to grow them and are impatient to get wet and muddy, you can feel better if you take a few more glances at the beautiful clusters of flowers!
Everyone was very excited when they saw pots of flowers being brought into the garden, many of which were famous flowers.
Then I found out that this garden is the property of the Li family and will be used exclusively for "flower viewing" in the future. Everyone was even more happy!
In the past, famous flowers such as cyclamen often appeared, but only those who ordered private dishes could see it.
Others can only hear how rare and beautiful famous flowers are, but they can only feel itchy and cannot see them.
Now, with such a place dedicated to flower viewing, everyone has another good place to go!
The four members of the Cao family, old and young, had been panicking because of the empty yard, but now they were even more worried about the full yard.
The rare emerald hydrangeas are rarely seen on weekdays. There are more than a dozen pots crowded together, and one of the petals has fallen off!
Clivia, with leaves as wide as a palm, almost pulled out its flower stems, and dozens of pots were stacked on top of each other, performing acrobatics!
The camellia in full bloom had a corolla as large as a person's arms, but it was planted in a palm-sized flowerpot. They seemed to be able to hear the camellia's cries of grievance!
And that pot of pine-leaf peony was actually showered with water... again!
"My boss!" Old man Cao couldn't bear it any longer. He rushed over and grabbed the kettle from Old Li's hand.
His eyes were red, and he blocked the pine-leaf peony tightly behind him. He almost gritted his molar teeth and said: "My boss, this is a pine-leaf peony. You can't water it! This flower is drought-tolerant. As long as the leaves don't turn yellow, it will bloom." No need to water it, otherwise it will rot to death!"
Li Laoer blinked twice, smiling awkwardly and feeling guilty, "Well, I just saw that the soil was cracked, so I just let it go..."
"Master, please don't let it go. Hurry up and drink tea. I will arrange these flowers for you, let me arrange them!"
Old Man Cao stretched out his arms, wishing to gather all the flowers in his arms to protect them from his master's poison!
Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying were standing in the flowerpot, admiring the flowers and talking, but they couldn't stop laughing when they saw this.
They still remember the pot of flowers that Li Laoer had raised to death before!
So, Mrs. Li said: "Second brother, let's go into the house to drink tea and leave this place to Lao Cao and his family. Growing flowers is the same as growing crops. I don't have seven or eight years of experience. But if you can't grow well, let's help If you're not busy, forget it, don't make trouble."
Hearing what Mrs. Li said, Lao Cao's face turned red and he lowered his arms, feeling very frightened.
He was so flirtatious just now that he couldn't help but be rude to his employer.
These flowers all belong to the owner, who, let alone watering them, uproots them and throws them away, and others have no right to say anything.
But he... just couldn't bear to part with it. Flowers are the life of the person who keeps them!
He hurriedly knelt down, but was lifted up by Li Laoer and said comfortingly: "Uncle Cao, I really don't know how to grow flowers, but I still like growing flowers. I won't ask you for more advice in the future!
" Flowers, you should sort them out first. When you have free time later, it won't be too late for you to teach me more.
"Hey, yes, yes! " Don't worry, boss, I will definitely arrange all these flowers. "Old man Cao was so excited. It's really rare to have such a generous and careless owner.
No wonder the owner can get so many good flowers back.
In the eyes of flower growers, good flowers have spirituality and can choose their own owners.
For example, if a despicable person buys the flower back, it will not bloom again even if it is carefully maintained.
This is also a small reason why literati like orchids.
Because the orchids at home bloom well, it is not just them. Knowing how to take care of them proves that they are of noble character.
This is a kind of invisible show off and boast!
Mrs. Li said she was going to the house to drink tea, but in fact she couldn't stay idle at all, so she turned around and took her daughter-in-law, granddaughter, and mother-in-law and maids with her. , ran to the kitchen to make dumplings.
They were joking and working at the same time, and it was very lively.
The four members of the Cao family were also very busy, dancing happily because of the beautiful flowers from time to time.
Only Li Laoer stood holding a tea cup. Under the eaves of the corridor, he suddenly felt lonely as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.
But there was nothing he could do about it. Before he even learned how to grow flowers, he already had a reputation for destroying flowers with his ruthless hand... Three days passed by in a blink of an eye, and the Baiyuan Garden had been completely arranged. The fragrance of flowers was everywhere, and the eyes were filled with bright purples and reds, making people smile instantly when they stepped into the courtyard.
The Cao family seemed to have been given a shot of chicken blood, especially Old Man Cao, who would get up in the middle of the night to take a look, fearing that the heavy night dew would hurt his precious flowers.
During the day, he kept them all in mind as to which pots needed sunshine and which ones preferred shade, and he had a great time moving them in and out.
The Li family stayed in the "Garden" for a few days, and they were happy to miss Shu.
But I have to go out today, because Jiaren and Brother Li have finished their exams and have to leave the examination room!
Li Zhensheng, Li Laosan and Mr. Wen were waiting at the gate of Gongyuan again, and this time even Jia Huan, Jia Yi and Liu Yang came.
Everyone gathered together, looking in with their feet up, almost stretching their necks.
Finally, the door of Gongyuan was opened, but the first ones to come out were a few stretchers.
The student on the stretcher looked pale and half-dead, and everyone who saw it was worried.
The weather was already hot, and hundreds of people were locked in a courtyard, eating, drinking, and eating. They also had to use their brains to answer questions. This was a physical and mental test.
People who are not in good health on weekdays are holding back at this time.
In order to avoid cheating, as long as the gate of Gongyuan is closed, it will not be opened in advance unless there is a fire or earthquake!
Therefore, even if these students fall, only the doctors inside can simply deal with them.
We can guarantee that they will not die, but it is impossible to serve them with good food and drink. Whether they can survive in the end depends on luck!
After all, the imperial examination is about strength, physical strength and luck, all of which are indispensable.
The family members of the sick student rushed forward and escorted the student out in tears. Only then did the students who successfully completed the exam come out.
Brothers Jiaren and Brother Li were supported by the crowd and carried out by the crowd. They looked around and saw red circles in their eyes when they saw their family members.
This was an exam, not a battlefield, but after being imprisoned for three days and suffering so much, they couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
Zheng Feng and Zheng He rushed in, carried each of them on their backs, and ran out.
Things have already been prepared on the Li family's carriage.
As soon as the family and Brother Li got in the car, they closed the door.
Jia Huan and Jia Yi helped. They took off the clothes, shoes and socks of their brothers and replaced them with a clean and refreshing set. They also wiped their hands and faces two or three times.
Finally, they put a cup of honey and passion fruit drink with less ice in their hands.
Cool and sweet, it slides all the way from your mouth to your stomach.
The long-lost taste made Jiaren and Brother Li finally feel alive.
When they got off the bus again, the two boys had regained half of their energy.
The family finally felt relieved and didn't say much.
Li Laoer and Mr. Wen took the two boys with them to ask for leave from Dean Zhou, leaving them to stay in the city for a while. After reading the list, they would go back to the village to rest.
Dean Zhou naturally agreed. After the exam, there were five days of leave. This was the academy's practice.
Li Laoer knew how to be a good person and sent a large bucket of ice-filled fruit drinks to the academy, which made the Luoan students who had just left the examination room cheer!
