I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

Jiafu felt that there was nothing much to say about his method. After all, it was taught to him by others.

"Madam, I learned this method from Grandpa Dong. He told me that when two trees grow close together, their bark will heal together after being scratched, forming intertwined branches.

Roots within the soil may also grow together to form root tangles.

Later, I saw Grandpa Dong grow a two-colored camellia using this method. I thought my mother liked roses, so I wanted to try to grow roses of other colors. Unexpectedly, I grew a rose with one red and one white, or a mixture of red and white. "

When Jiafu talked about his method, the expression on his face became much more vivid.

After hearing what Jiafu said, Shen Rong couldn't help but sigh, "This old man is really thoughtful!"

Jiafu scratched his head and said, "Grandpa Dong said that these are all recorded in books. He learned them from books."

Shen Rong nodded. It seems that she needs to read more to understand more.

"Have you ever tried growing other flowers?"

Jiafu shook his head. "The highest survival rate of this kind of splicing is between the same plants or related plants. I saw that the leaves and branches of wild roses were the same as those of domestic roses, so I thought of giving it a try. Last year, I grafted more than 20 roses in total, and only two survived. I didn't try the others."

Jiafu explained it very clearly, but Shen Rong had never seen such a connection method before.

In the end, she asked Juxiang to cut the branches and let Jiafu show her how to do it in front of her.

Jiafu cut the two branches with a knife and then inserted the two broken branches together.

"Young Madam, there are six ways to connect these things: body connection, bark connection, branch connection, root connection, cheek connection, and joint connection.

I am now using the branch grafting method, which is how it is grafted, and finally I use oil to hold the joints in place. "

Lai Fu scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Of the twenty branches last year, only the grafted ones survived."

Shen Rong didn't expect that this child was so honest.

This method is simple, Shen Rong will learn it after reading it once. However, when she thought that only two out of twenty trees survived, Shen Rong did not dare to underestimate it.

"Is there anything I should be careful about when doing this?"

Jiafu thought for a moment, then showed the bottom of the branch to Shen Rong. "Grandpa Dong said that it would be easier to keep alive if it was cut like this. Also, you should use a clean knife when cutting."

Shen Rong nodded and took out a silver note from her sleeve. "This is a reward for you. Go back and pack your things first, and come to the mansion to work tomorrow."

When Jiafu saw the fifty-liang silver note, his eyes widened. He didn't expect that he would get so much silver just for replying a question.

Seeing that Jiafu hadn't moved for a long time, Shen Rong stuffed the banknotes into Juxiang's arms and said, "I learned your brother's skills. This is what your brother deserves. Juxiang, send your brother back!"

After the two left, Shen Rong was about to go back to Guiyuan when she heard someone in front say that the young master had returned.

Shen Rong had just come out of the flower hall when Changsheng and Wang Qing were heading towards the front yard.

"How is it?" Shen Rong asked hurriedly when she saw Changsheng.

"It's done. We'll go there tomorrow." Changsheng knew what Shen Rong asked and answered directly.

"How many did you order?" Shen Rong thought about the huge courtyard wall and wondered if she would have to grow quite a few roses.

"Fifty, all one foot wide, ten cents each."

The plants in the space grow fast, and pots that are too small are not practical, so we ordered pots that are one foot wide and deep.

But the flower pots they wanted were not for viewing, so Changsheng ordered the cheapest coarse pottery, which cost ten cents each, and fifty flower pots cost only five hundred cents.

Changsheng was very satisfied with the price.

If they were still in Taohua Village, they would not spend money to buy flower pots. They would just bury whatever they wanted to plant in the soil.

When the two children saw their father coming back, they happily surrounded Changsheng.

Changsheng picked up his daughter, while Shen Rong held her son's hand, and the family of four headed towards Minghui Courtyard.

The two of them paid their respects to the old lady, and Shen Rong told her that she had invited Brother Juxiang to come into the house to take care of the flowers and plants.

The old lady supports Shen Rong's approach.

"We have 25 servants in our mansion. In the past, it was barely enough. But now that the east and west sides of the mansion have been merged, we need a lot more servants just to clean the yard.

Ping'er and An'er will be studying with the teacher in a few days, so arrangements have to be made for the maids and boys around them.

And Shi Ming needs two errand boys around him, otherwise it would be a bit unreasonable to ask him to do everything by himself."

Finally, the old lady concluded, "Your courtyard does have too few servants."

At the end of the old lady's speech, there was a bit of helplessness on her face. It was all because of poverty.

If my grandson inherits the title in the future, my grandson's wife will be the marquis's wife. There must be at least two first-class maids, four second-class maids, and at least six maids and old women to do menial work.

Even though Xiao Chen lives a secluded life nowadays, she has many servants around her.

There was one nanny, two senior maids, two second-class maids, and two servants.

As much as the old lady who is the mother-in-law.

This is the reduced number of people, including the doorman, coachman, and kitchen staff, twenty-five people plus six masters, living in such a big house, it is really spacious.

But the old lady's worries were not unnecessary. Just to clean the house, several maids had to be arranged.

Shen Rong understood the old lady’s dilemma.

But she felt that saving alone was not enough, and she still had to start making money quickly.

After paying their respects, the two of them returned to Guiyuan with the child.

"Husband, have you had lunch? If not, I'll ask the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles." Shen Rong was worried that Changsheng was in a hurry to come back and forgot to eat, so she asked as soon as she entered the yard.

Changsheng waved his hand, "Don't bother, I just ate outside."

Shen Rong also told Changsheng the grafting method she learned from Jiafu.

The two children were chattering and gesticulating beside them.

"Dad, I saw it just now. It's very simple. Just put the branch like this, and then like this, and it will be done..." Pingping picked up a branch from somewhere and showed it to his dad very actively.

An An, standing by, would add from time to time, "No, it's like this...it has to be wrapped in oilcloth in the end."

"Okay, you two haven't had a nap today. Your dad has been running around outside all morning. Come into the house and take a nap with him." Shen Rong winked at the two children.

Pingping, Anan and Changsheng immediately understood what Shen Rong meant.

"Mom, I'm taking my sister to take a nap now. Dad, come in with me!" Pingping pulled Changsheng's trouser leg and was about to go into the inner room.

After the father and his two sons left, Shen Rong said to Chun Xing and Qiu Xia, "One of you will stay to guard the gate today, and the other one will go back to the house to rest. You can take turns tomorrow."

When the two saw the young mistress sending them out of the main room again, they didn't say much and just bowed, "We got it!"

After the two left, Shen Rong locked the door and turned into the inner room.

In the inner room, the father and his two sons were eagerly waiting for Shen Rong!

They just understood the look in the mother/daughter-in-law's eyes: go into the space and give it a try.

The whole family entered the space.

In the space, all the dying flowers and plants that had been planted before came back to life and many flowers bloomed.

Peony, crabapple, camellia, rose, orchid, chrysanthemum...

Red, pink, yellow, green, white...

Shen Rong didn't expect that she would pick up so many flowers.

"Wow! So many flowers! I want to try them all!" Pingping shouted excitedly!

An An also looked eager to try.

Finally, at Shen Rong's request, if they wanted to grow a patch of flowers like the one with the roses, the father and his two sons gathered all the flowers Shen Rong had picked up and the rose tree together, not leaving out any of them.

Shen Rong was standing beside the Eighteen Scholars, who were already as tall as a man, looking at the camellia flowers there, thinking that it was time to dig up the flowers.

After all, the mansion needs money to hire people and renovate the yard!

Shen Rong thought for a while, picked a branch from an inconspicuous place of the flower, and casually stuck it into the ground.

The father and his two sons had a lot of fun playing together. They planted a large branch with only two leaves on it in the field that Changsheng had cleared.

After getting tired of playing, the father and his two sons started eating fruit again.

It was almost time for dinner in the afternoon when the family of four came out of the house after their nap.

The next day, the family of four went out again.

This time Shen Rong was going to the newly bought yard and put all the flower pots into the space.

Then he dug out the Eighteen Scholars tree, planted it in a flowerpot, and sold it to Mr. Liu at the flower market.

In order to prevent the camellia from dying after a few days, Shen Rong deliberately left a lot of soil at the roots and only covered the top of the flowerpot with a layer of ordinary soil.

In order to avoid attracting other people's attention, Shen Rong also covered the entire camellia with a black cloth bag.

Shen Rong and Changsheng, who was holding a flowerpot, came to the door of Liu Dong's shop where they had thrown the flowers.

The clerk in the shop saw a couple stopping at the door holding a crudely made flower pot, but he didn't think much of it.

"Hey, does your boss want to buy some flowers?" Shen Rong called out to the waiter in the shop.

The waiter waved his hand and said, "We sell flowers here, not for buying them. You've come to the wrong place!"

The flowers planted in the flowerpot were covered with a black cloth bag, but the waiter didn't care.

"Young man, take a look before deciding!" Shen Rong winked at Changsheng.

Changsheng took off the black cloth covering the flowers, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in and outside the shop.

It was an elegant camellia with thick leaves. The flowers on the branches were of different colors: red, pink, purple, white, red with white threads, pink with white. There were eighteen flowers in total, each one different in shape, with distinct layers of petals.

Because the two of them were standing in front of the shop, everyone nearby saw the pot of flowers.

Whether it was the flower sellers or the flower buyers in the flower market, their eyes were unconsciously glued to the Eighteen Scholars who suddenly appeared.

"Boy, I want this pot of Eighteen Scholars!" An old man who was watching the fun woke up as if from a dream and shouted to Changsheng.

"No, no, no... This is for my shop. It belongs to me, Liu. Please give me some face."

Before Liu Dong's family came out of the shop, urgent voices came out.

It turned out that when the waiter saw the eighteen-year-old scholar who was more than one meter tall, his eyes almost popped out of his head. When he came to his senses, he ran to the greenhouse at the back to call the boss.

That's why Mr. Liu arrived so timely.

For Shen Rong, it doesn't matter who she sells the flowers to.

She first learned about Liu Dongjia's plan from the two waiters.

Shen Rong thought that the flowers originally belonged to Mr. Liu, so it would be appropriate to sell them to him, which could be considered as the cost of treating the flowers and plants, and there was no need to worry about not being able to sell them.

Therefore, the two of them came directly to Liu Dong's house.
