Brother so proud

really come?

Everyone spontaneously moved out of the way, He Ze and Luo Zhanming followed the sound and looked, and the young man led a 70-[-]-year-old farmer in with big strides.

The old farmer's beard and hair were all white, and he was half bent, with only a pair of eyes shining brightly. He seemed to be in good spirits, but...he was a little anxious.

"Where is Ruanxianghong? Where is Ruanxianghong?"

As soon as the old farmer came in, he didn't say anything, he opened his mouth and said "soft and fragrant red", his eyes rolled around, and finally stopped in front of He Ze.

"This is it, Ruanxianghong?"

Wuzi murmured, the old farmer squatted down, looked around the flowerpot again and again, his eyes gradually widened, and finally his knees softened, and he knelt down in front of the flower, holding up the flowerpot, wishing that his eyes would be all over the place. stuck to it.

When others saw his appearance, their eyes focused on the flowers became more eager.

"The flower color is purplish red, the petals are fan-shaped, the calyx is pointed and long, and the receptacle is cup-shaped..."

The old farmer muttered to himself while watching.After watching the flowers, his eyes were focused on the rhizome and leaves again, his hands couldn't help touching them, and he retracted immediately in the next second, his fingertips were already bleeding from the thorns on the rhizome, but the enthusiasm on his face was even worse. Even, "fewer branches, thin branches, with curved thorns, long round leaves, clear veins..."

"That's right! This is soft and fragrant red! The flowers are as bright as brocade, and the stems and leaves are emerald green as jade, and they are unique, unique! The best flower, the best flower!"

The old man known as Mr. Cai sighed again and again, and he made a final decision. He looked at this flower plant like a lover he hadn't seen for many years. Excitement, excitement, ecstasy... were beyond words.

With Mr. Cai's name on this street, no one would doubt his words, and the crowd exploded again.Luo Zhanming flicked the folding fan with a smile on his face.

"I have been with flowers for decades, and I have always been proud of planting soft fragrant red. I saw you today and knew that I am not arrogant..." The old man shook his head and wanted to touch the petals, but his movements stopped. When he got down, he only stroked the flowerpot a few times, and talked to the flower to himself, but he forgot all the onlookers.

"Old Cai, don't sigh. Since you are lucky enough to see this flower today, you have no regrets, right?"

"No regrets, no regrets! Death without regrets!" The old man nodded his head heavily, his eyes finally moved away from the flower plant, "So it's Young Master Luo, this old man greets you, I don't know who planted this flower..."

Said it was a greeting, the old man still did not put down the flowers, but bowed to Luo Zhanming.

"Far in the sky, close in front of you, Mr. Cai, isn't that the little brother in front of you?" Luo Zhanming waved the folding fan in his hand with a romantic air.

"You...you mean him? Him?"

Following what Luo Zhanming's eyes were pointing at, the old man turned his head to look at He Ze with an expression of disbelief.

How can this be?Such a good-looking soft fragrant red must be cared for for several years. Not to mention, it is delicate and easy to break, and it is extremely demanding on the growing environment and sunny soil. It is not possible for an experienced flower farmer to grow such superb flowers!

"Little brother, this flower...is it really you who planted it?" The old man couldn't help but asked again.

"Old Cai... don't you believe me?"

"To be honest, this flower is very good in appearance, and it is also rare among soft fragrant reds. Little brother, your age..."

The old man hesitated to speak, and the unfinished meaning was self-evident.

He Ze raised his eyebrows lightly, took a look at the soft and fragrant red, and said, "Is there any reason why you can't grow good flowers at a young age? A real good flower is like a good article. It comes from nature, and you can get it by accident. Plant flowers with your heart Don’t open, unintentionally insert willows and willows into shades, isn’t that what you are talking about? Experience is important, and luck is also important, isn’t it?”

"This……"

"I see, old man, you are a flower lover. But to truly love flowers, you need your love not only when they bloom, but also when they germinate and grow leaves. , you also deserve love. You have witnessed and taken care of its growth for a long time, and I am afraid that you have realized the joys and sorrows in it long ago, so why should you be too obsessed with the appearance and rarity of flowers? It will only increase worries?"

Seeing the old farmer's excitement just now, he was afraid that he had lost his mind for the flowers, so He Ze said one more thing.Whether he realizes it or not is up to him.

"Okay, well said!" The old farmer was still in a daze, but Luo Zhanming put away his folding fan and clapped his hands, and said, "Little brother's words are really good, and his thoughts are penetrating. Wait for the flowers!"

"It's... I'm getting old."

The old man was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, but he put down the flowers in his hands, and made a bow to He Ze, "I only have flowers in my whole life, and I want to grow rare flowers all my life. The more anxious I am, the more afraid I won't be able to grow any good flowers in the future. What the little brother said today can enlighten the old man, and the old man is ashamed, ashamed!"

"Everyone has their own desires. It is rare for the old man to insist on what he desires, so why should he be ashamed? Just relax your heart, maybe you can get something else."

"That's the truth, that's the truth!" The old man didn't know what he thought of, stroked his white beard, and laughed twice before continuing, "I heard that my little brother intends to cut off this soft fragrant red plant, I don't know how old I am!" Is there such a blessing?"

Is this Cheng Yaojin killed halfway?

Hearing the old man's words, Luo Zhanming next to him couldn't stand immediately, "I said, Mr. Cai, you are not authentic in doing this. I have already discussed this flower with this little brother. If it is really soft and fragrant red, I will buy it." , everything has to be first come, first served, right?"

"That's right, this flower was ordered by my young master, you can't snatch it!"

The servant on the side was also filled with righteous indignation.

"Hey! Master Luo, don't worry, don't worry, I'm just mentioning it like this! Since it's already been decided, I can't win people's love. But..."

The old man glanced at He Ze, then turned his eyes to the signboard standing next to him, and said with some regret, "However, the 20 taels is really too cheap. Compared with the Ruanxianghongpin I raised back then, this one But the difference is very far, but it is only 30 taels to reluctantly give up, little brother, do you want to consider..."

"Yes! Little brother, I pay 21 taels, how about you sell me the flowers?"

"21 taels, I'll offer 23 taels! Don't compete with me!"

"Your 23 taels is a lot? I'll give you 25 taels, little brother, 25 taels, you can think clearly!"

"..."

Before the old man finished speaking, the voices of the people were boiling, and the one who had been shouting about He Ze Shizi's mouth shut his mouth now. Who would have thought that this is really a rare and famous flower?

The price of 20 taels has increased by 20 taels in a short period of time, but the voices of asking prices are still coming and going.The person who looked at the word "[-] taels" in the past and became exasperated is now blushing and thick-necked.

If he just knew the goods, he would buy it as soon as he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. According to this way of saying, he can earn ten taels of silver at least!

Twelve!What is this concept?This man is so regretful that his intestines are green.But now, he doesn't even have the right to bid.

There were many people present who thought as much as he did, but everyone who opened their mouths to bid was thinking of making a lot of money.As the din became louder, Luo Zhanming stood aside with a cold face, tapped the handle of his fan lightly on his palm, and finally couldn't help turning his head, "Little brother, I'll pay 40 taels, is it okay?"

40 taels, this...everyone was shocked by Luo Zhanming's generosity when he opened his mouth, and the voice of shouting price stopped for a moment.According to Mr. Cai, 30 taels is still a steady profit, but 40 taels is a loss or a profit, but it’s hard to say!

Hearing his young master's yell that it was 40 taels, the boy swallowed subconsciously, carefully tugged at Luo Zhanming's sleeve, and winked at him.

If the master finds out, he might lose his temper!

"Your eyes are twitching?" Luo Zhanming brushed the boy's hand away with the fan handle, his eyes were a little suspicious, "You don't have this problem usually, why are you twitching now? Stay away, don't delay the young master's business!"

Servant:  …

"How about it, little brother, are you selling it at this price or not?" Luo Zhanming asked again.

He Ze finally stood up, "Sell it, of course you have to sell it, and if you give me the money, the flowers will be yours."

Seeing He Ze being so forthright, Luo Zhanming smiled, and even glanced at the servant a few times, but the latter didn't notice it.

"Why are you so dazed? Give me the money!"

"Oh, oh!"

Luo Zhanming slapped the handle of the fan on the boy's shoulder, and the boy came to his senses, took out the money bag on his waist, and took out two large ingots of silver.Reluctantly handing it to He Ze, this is the young master's monthly money for half a year!

He Ze took the two ingots of silver and threw them away, but casually threw another ingot back, "20 taels, not more than one cent, less than one cent, we agreed before."

The boy with the silver in his arms was stunned, and Luo Zhanming was also taken aback, "Little brother, this is 20 taels, you really don't want it?"

He Ze raised the corners of his lips, took the silver and stuffed it into his purse, and then said, "If you don't have faith, you can't stand. Since it has been agreed before, how can I raise the price on the ground? I still have something to do at home, so let's go first." gone."

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Luo Zhanming to answer, and walked out of the crowd in a few steps.

20 taels of silver?This is a fool, right?Everyone looked at He Ze's back and shook their heads and sighed. Only Mr. Cai stroked his long beard and looked at Luo Zhanming. They both saw the admiration in their eyes.

"This person... is really interesting."

Luo Zhanming shook his folding fan, turned his head just now, but saw Mr. Cai hugging flowers, and immediately became anxious, "Mr. Cai, you..."

"If this flower is not old and rotten, how many days can Master Luo keep it?" The old man picked up the flower pot leisurely, and then said, "The county magistrate's birthday, I am afraid that the young master bought this flower to rush here Bar?"

"How could Elder Cai know?"

His eldest brother is the wife of the county magistrate, and both his eldest brother-in-law are lovers of flowers.It was also when his eldest brother-in-law's birthday was approaching, so he made this trip.

"The wife of the county magistrate sent someone to invite the old man the day before yesterday, and she said a few words," the old man held the flower in his arms without blinking his eyes, "Let's go, the old man will go back to the house with you to take care of the flower. It won't take months." For money, just let me eat a few steamed buns."

Speaking of which, he had already headed towards the direction of Luo's mansion with Hua Wu in his arms, leaving Luo Zhanming and the servant looking at each other in blank dismay, and took a few moments to catch up.

On that side, He Ze left the flower and bird market, and walked around the town again. He didn't drive the ox cart home until his hands were full.Because it was getting late, his speed also slowed down a bit, and he didn't enter the house until the willows were on the top of the moon.

At that time, He An was sitting on the stone steps waiting for him, and when he saw someone, he rushed over in a few steps.
