After aunt Zhang left, Xu Qi ‘an led the little mare into the yard and tied it to the trunk of the small Banyan Tree.
It was only then that he realized that in the short span of a few days, the originally desolate courtyard was actually filled with beautiful flowers of all kinds, with bees and butterflies dancing among them.
The air was filled with the fresh fragrance of flowers.
Xu Qi ‘an glanced around and saw many precious species, some of which were worth more than ten taels of silver.
The reason he knew the price of these precious plants was because his aunt had been fiddling with the potted plants every day. After spring, she had invested more than 200 taels of silver in this area.
Of course, Xu Qi ‘an wouldn’t ask how much money his aunt had spent on the expensive flower seeds. It wasn’t his money anyway. The main reason was that her aunt’s beloved potted plant was always knocked over by Xu Yingying from time to time.
Every time, her aunt would fly into a rage and lecture her, and then she would say, “Do you know how much these flowers are worth, you damn child?
“What’s with these flowers?” Xu Qi ‘an asked calmly.
“The yard was too plain, so I bought some flowers and planted them in the yard.” The Queen’s tone was calm.
The silver I gave you can’t afford these flowers … Xu Qian muttered in his heart. On the surface, he replied with an “Oh” calmly, showing that he was just asking casually and had no interest in the flowers.
In his heart, he was thinking that if he bought the seeds, then it would make sense. In half a day, the seeds were grown into a scene of flowers blooming in the courtyard. Was this the ability of the flower God? If he threw this woman into the desert, it would be a blessing to the world.
Following this line of thought, he thought of that small section of lotus root. If Wang Fei were to cultivate the Lotus root, would it be able to bring it back to life?
The Golden Lotus Daoist priest said that the heavenly treasure could not be cultivated individually, but what if the person cultivating it was the flower God?
Thinking of this, Xu Qi ‘an was a little excited, but she managed to keep her emotions in check.
Seeing his lack of interest, the Queen heaved a sigh of relief.
“What happened to aunt Zhang just now?” Xu Qi ‘an asked as he walked into the house.
He followed the smell into the house, walked to the stove, and opened the lid. Salted peanuts were cooking in the pot, and some spices were also added.
“She lives nearby. She was at our house a few days ago … I fell down outside my house, and I looked pitiful, so I helped. After that, she often came to help me.
She also sent me the peanuts.”
Wangfei sat on a small wooden stool with a small bowl on her lap. She said, ‘
“Her son is in the medicinal herbs business, and I heard that he has several shops in the inner and outer cities. Because her daughter-in-law didn’t like her, her son bought a small courtyard nearby to accommodate her mother. She told everyone that her son was very filial and bought her a house.”
Xu Qi ‘an leaned against the stove and ate some salted peanuts. He threw the peanut shell at her feet and snorted.”What happened just now?”
Wangfei pulled back her feet and glared at him. She sneered, “”1 said that my husband died, and a little ruffian next door coveted my beauty. He tried to use force several times to take advantage of me.
“I sold my house and moved here. I didn’t expect him to come and say that he’ll come and stay here every two days.”
Xu Qi ‘an said disdainfully, “coveting your beauty?” Wangfei, please look in the mirror before you speak.”
“I won’t allow you to eat my peanuts,” the Queen said angrily.
“I’ll eat.” “You’re not allowed to eat it.”
“I’ll eat.”
Xu Qi. an spent the entire morning in the princess’s courtyard. He sat in the courtyard and weaved. bamboo basket for her, repaired the wooden barrel, became. small hoe, and chopped firewood … He had even built a small stove for her to boil water in the courtyard.
While he was working, the princess Consort sat on the bamboo chair and watched, a little absent-minded.
When it was about time, she silently got up and went into the kitchen, cooking a few dishes perfunctorily.
“Is it good?”
At the dining table, she rested her chin on her hand and blinked her eyes at Xu Qi ‘an.
It’s.. cking unpalatable … “My cooking skills have improved,” Xu Qi ‘an said hypocritically.
Wangfei immediately laughed, and her eyes were like crescent moons. “Then you can finish it all.”
“What about you?”
“I’m not hungry. I’m full from the peanuts.”
Xu Qi ‘an nodded and buried his head in his food. Not long after, he had finished all the food she had cooked. The only thing he did not do was lick the plate. The princess Consort looked at him in surprise.
She was very clear about her own cooking skills. After all, her tongue would not lie.
“Life is like this, simple life is the real thing.”
When Xu Qi ‘an spoke, he glanced at the tsundere Queen. She seemed to be touched, and her eyes softened, but she hid it well.
Upon seeing this, he reached into his pocket, gently tapped the mirror, and poured out a small section of lotus root.
“I didn’t go back on my words on purpose when I went to Jianzhou.” Xu Qi ‘an apologized sincerely.
“Who needs your company?” Wangfei pouted and turned her head away.
“It wasn’t a wasted trip, I found something interesting.” Xu Qi ‘an put the Lotus root on the table and said, “”A senior gave it to me. It’s said to be a treasure, but it has already withered.”
The color of the Lotus was dull, and there were many wrinkles on the surface. The entire body was shriveled.
“What is this?” The Queen’s attention was caught.
“I’m not too sure, but they say it’s a treasure.” Xu Qi ‘an sighed, ‘
“This thing is quite important to me, but it seems that I can’t keep it alive. However, even if it’s withered, it’s still a type of medicine. At least we didn’t make a wasted trip.”
Mu nanzhi was very sensitive to her identity. Xu Qi ‘an did not want her to know that he had seen through her, lest it caused her unnecessary panic.
Wangfei thought for a moment and took the Lotus root. She wiped it on her sleeve, then revealed her small white teeth and took a bite..
