Chapter 417 Picking Flowers and Plants
Two days later, Juxiang really brought Shen Rong the branches that grew together with the rose and wild rose.
In order to prove that what she said was true, Juxiang specially cut a long and thin branch.
Many new buds have sprouted on the branches, and they look full of vitality.
Shen Rong was secretly delighted to see that the branch indeed did not look like the thick rose branches, but still looked like a rose. After receiving the branch, Shen Rong praised Juxiang's brother again and again.
"What color are the flowers?" Shen Rong asked.
"It's red, but there are also a few white flowers." Juxiang was afraid that Shen Rong would be unhappy, so she hurriedly explained to her, "My brother used white thorny rose branches at the time, so there are white ones. My brother said that in the spring, he will go out of the city to find yellow thorny roses, and then tie them together with the roses at home to see what color roses he can grow."
Shen Rong nodded, "Your brother is a man of ideas. If he has other ways to grow different flowers, you should ask your family to support him as much as possible." As she spoke, she took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and said, "Please give this two taels of silver to your brother for me!"
Juxiang didn't expect that her brother would be rewarded even though he didn't do anything for the mansion. She was overjoyed. "Thank you, Madam!"
That day, Shen Rong cut the branches into several pieces in front of the maid and inserted them into the pot. No one noticed that one of the cut branches was missing.
At night, Shen Rong inserted the branches into the flower field marked out by Changsheng.
There is such a large area in the space that Changsheng cannot finish planting all the crops by himself, but he still divided the land into several areas.
Changsheng dug a ditch close to the river to divert water for growing rice.
A little further away from the water, there are stretches of dry land with large tracts of orchards, melon fields, medicinal fields, wheat, vegetables and so on.
As for the places further away, Changsheng hasn’t had time to clean them up yet.
The orchard and medicinal fields do not require much care on a daily basis. Wheat, vegetables and rice are planted interspersed with them. Fortunately, Changsheng is not greedy and only plants a little wheat and rice each time. Fruits and vegetables are planted in large quantities to save seeds, but he is able to keep busy.
Sometimes Changsheng didn’t want to work anymore and would take a break for a few nights.
Two days later, Chun Xing found a small wisteria from somewhere and planted it bare in a flowerpot. If Shen Rong had not seen wisteria vines before, she would have thought it was a dead vine from somewhere!
Shen Rong happily put it away.
Although this wisteria has no leaves, it looks like it has been well taken care of in the past, so I asked casually, where did it come from?
Chun Xing's face turned pale, she gritted her teeth and said, "Madam, I picked this up at the flower market in the east."
Shen Rong couldn't help but look at the purple vine in her hand, "It's not dead yet! How come you picked it up?"
Chun Xing explained, "The boss of the flower shop said that the root of the wisteria was sick and it was thrown away if it couldn't be taken care of. I didn't think it was a big deal so I picked it up."
Shen Rong took a look but didn't make any sense. After thinking about it, she finally pulled the vine out of the pot, replaced the pot and the soil, and soaked the roots of the wisteria in water.
The flowers of Chun Xing gave Shen Rong a new idea. If the wisteria could grow well in her space, she would definitely go to the flower market in the east of the city to take a look.
That night, Changsheng planted wisteria in the ground in the space.
Soon, the first month of the year was about to end. Although the decree to inherit the title had not yet come down, when the butler went to the Duke's Mansion to deliver New Year's greetings, Zhou Minglang conveyed the message that the inheritance of the title by the Marquis' Mansion was not a big problem, it was only a matter of time.
After the first month of the year, construction of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion was about to begin.
The rough work of dismantling walls and removing tiles was supervised by Changsheng and the housekeeper.
On the first night of construction, Shen Rong told Changsheng in detail her plan.
"Try to preserve the bricks and tiles removed from the courtyards on the west side tomorrow. The tiles of many houses on the east side need to be replaced. We won't build houses with those bricks, so we can use them to pave the road. If you're worried that there won't be enough bricks, you can pave a narrower road. It's always more cost-effective than spending money to buy more."
After listening to it, Changsheng felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
The next morning, construction of the house on the west side began.
On the west side, Wang Qing and Changsheng led the servants in the mansion to demolish the wall.
The removed tiles and bricks were transported to the east by a servant on a cart and given to the bricklayers hired by the mansion to repair the courtyard.
The maids in the mansion were busy cooking soup, tea and meals, and for a while the mansion was extremely busy.
It was at this time that Shen Lianchuan and Yao moved back to the courtyard in the south of the city.
The mansion was in a mess now, so Shen Rong and Changsheng did not try to keep the two old people. She and Changsheng helped grandparents move.
Chunwang's family is still in the yard.
With them taking care of the two elderly people, Shen Rong and his wife had nothing to worry about. After having a meal there, they returned to the house and continued their busy work.
Shen Rong knew that all the dismantling and repairing work in the mansion could be completed within a month.
In order to plant flowers and plants in the mansion in spring, Shen Rong decided to go out and look for various flowers and plants.
The roses and wisteria that Juxiang and Chunxing brought earlier have already bloomed.
The roses really grew in clumps just as Juxiang had said. After a flower stand was built, they even grew into a flower wall. In the space, the flowers bloomed and withered, always maintaining the appearance of a sea of flowers.
The wisteria is not far behind. The wisteria that was originally as tall as a forearm has grown thick and tall. It climbs on three crossed bamboo poles, like a large purple umbrella with tassels.
Early that morning, Shen Rong brought Chun Xing to the flower market.
Although Shen Rong had no objection to picking flowers and plants, she felt that it would be shameful to tell others about what she did this time. In order not to attract other people's attention, she and Chun Xing dressed like farm girls and carried backpacks on their backs.
The flower market is not only a place to sell flowers, but many shops also sell beautiful parrot thrushes.
It was already early spring, and there were many flowers and plants displayed in the shops on both sides of the street in the flower market, and a row of birds were hanging under the eaves.
As I walked along, I could smell the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds.
The shops in front seemed to be full of flowers, but after a winter, many flowers and plants in each shop were frozen to death due to improper maintenance, and they were piled at the back door of the shop.
Chun Xing knew about the financial difficulties in the mansion. She thought that since the young mistress was born in a farming family, she might know how to revive the half-dead flowers and plants. With a glimmer of hope, she brought Shen Rong to the back streets of the shops.
"Madam, that's where I picked up the wisteria last time." Chun Xing pointed to a pile of dead branches and leaves not far away.
The place Chun Xing pointed to was not far away. Shen Rong looked in the direction of her hand and saw a pile of dead branches and leaves covered with dirt.
At this time, two young men who looked like servants came over carrying a flowerpot as big as a water tank. There were a few dead branches stuck in the flowerpot, and the leaves were yellow and withered, looking hopeless. It seemed that the two men were going to throw the flower away.
Shen Rong looked at it for a while but couldn't tell what kind of flower it was. At this moment, the taller servant sighed and said to his companion:
"Alas! What a pity! Such a beautiful flower was frozen to death."
"Stop talking. Our boss has been crying for two days. If we don't throw it away, we don't know how long he will cry." The short servant looked regretful when he talked about this.
"If it were me, I would cry too. That was the eighteenth scholar, and he froze to death. I heard that scholar Liu, who always loved flowers, spent a lot of money to buy it, but the owner would not sell it. He planned to use this flower to participate in the flower festival banquet this year, thinking that it would definitely win first prize, but he didn't expect it to freeze to death overnight."
Shen Rong was stunned and looked at Chun Xing.
Chun Xing nodded, indicating that what the two servants said was indeed true.
Here, two servants dumped the Eighteen Scholars, which had turned into a dry branch, along with the flower and soil, onto the pile of dead branches and leaves, and then carried the flowerpot away from the back street.
"Go and see whose family those two servants belong to." Shen Rong instructed Chun Xing.
"Yes." Chun Xing responded and chased after the two servants.
When Shen Rong saw Chun Xing leaving, she walked straight to the pile of dead branches.
The first thing Shen Rong saw was the Eighteenth Scholar that had just fallen down and was said to be dead.
The branches and leaves were indeed dead just as the two servants said, but the areas near the roots were still green. Shen Rong had confidence in her space, so she would be able to keep the flowers that were not yet dead alive alive.
The previous wisteria was also said to have problems, but after planting it in the space, I didn’t see any problems at all.
Shen Rong pulled the whole flower out of the soil, shook off the dirt on the roots, broke off the dead branches, and then put it in the backpack.
Before Chun Xing came back, Shen Rong found several flowers and plants that were not completely dead but could not be replanted by ordinary means.
Because all the leaves had fallen, Shen Rong couldn't tell what kind of flowers they were, so she put them all into the backpack.
After Chun Xing came back after finding out the news, Shen Rong turned over the pile of dead branches.
"Madam, those two servants are from the family at the east end of the flower market. The owner's surname is Liu. I heard that he has a lot of exotic flowers and plants at home, but the ones he sells are just ordinary ones."
Shen Rong nodded and said nothing. She took Chun Xing and walked along the entire back street. After searching a few more places, both of their backpacks were filled to the brim.
Only then did Shen Rong take Chun Xing back home.
After bringing back those half-dead flowers and plants, how to plant them around the servants' sight and without attracting other people's attention became another problem.
Shen Rong thought about it and decided to buy a yard in the south of the city. Then, she could take out the flowers and plants in her space from there and tell others that they were taken care of by her grandfather. This way, she would not attract other people's attention.
The more Shen Rong thought about it, the more she felt that this was feasible.
She took all the half-dead flowers into the space.
At night, after the two children fell asleep, they pulled Changsheng closer to the space.
When Changsheng saw the pile of dead branches and roots, he felt angry and sad.
He hugged Shen Rong in his arms and said, "In the future, I will plant more land to earn money. If you want to grow flowers in the future, we can buy good seeds."
Shen Rong nodded, "You want to earn more money. We are so poor in our house. Forget about buying flowers. We have this piece of land. Why do we need to spend money on flowers?"
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered her plan, "But I have thought of a way to make money, but it will require my husband to work hard."
"Oh? Are you selling ginseng again?" Changsheng showed a hint of disapproval on his face.
"No, those ginseng and ganoderma are too rare. I know if I take out too much, it will definitely arouse suspicion from others."
Shen Rong squatted down and found the Eighteen Scholars. "This is the Eighteen Scholars of the Liu family in the flower market. I heard that they were going to use it to participate in this year's Flower Festival. Unexpectedly, a late spring cold snap froze the flower to death. If you grow this flower, we can sell it to the Liu family. Wouldn't you make money?"
After hearing what Shen Rong said, Changsheng also thought it was feasible.
"Okay, you go take a rest over there, I'll do it."
