Chapter 907: Snow Reflecting Pearl
It turned out that it was true that Princess Ning gave Li Haniang medicine, formulated recipes and exercise plans according to her condition! Didn't it mean that Princess Chaoyang was at odds with Princess Ning's mother-in-law Rong and Princess Chang? Concubine Ning is doing this, does her mother-in-law agree? Whose idea is it to invite Princess Chaoyang's family this time?
"Wan Linfang, you are here!" Gu Ye saw her standing aside, smiled and waved to her, "Come here, pick a white plum that you like. It's rare for me to be generous today, just pick it. Pass it There is no such shop in this village."
Gu Ye's familiar tone made Wan Linfang's hanging heart loose again. It was only then that she saw the varieties of the two white plums in front of her. She opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "This is Yingxue Pearl Plum. It's hard to keep alive. If you broke off its branches, I'm afraid it will be difficult to bloom again next year..."
A small Yingxue Pearl Plum outside, as a bonsai, costs thousands of taels of silver, and a gardener who specializes in growing Pearl Plum needs to be taken care of. Even so, it would be good if one out of ten survived. Unexpectedly, Prince Ning's Mansion had a Yingxue pearl plum as tall as a person, and there were two of them.
This priceless treasure is so casually planted in the middle of ordinary white plums, and it is fine if it is not carefully taken care of, and its branches are broken at will—isn't it too violent?
The little girls around Gu Ye heard the words, looked down at the plum branches in their hands, and looked at each other with some anxiety. But Gu Ye stood on tiptoe, broke off a plum branch that was in full bloom from the plum tree, and stuffed it into Wan Linfang's hands: "Our Yingxuemei is an improved variety, not as delicate as you said. Don't believe it , come back next winter, it will definitely still be here, and will work hard to bloom for appreciation!"
What Gu Ye said was interesting, and the slightly nervous little girls immediately relaxed. Wan Linfang also found that he made the atmosphere a little stiff, so he glanced at the plum tree with some regret, and stopped spoiling everyone's happiness.
Li Haniang looked back at Yingxuemei carefully, and smiled softly: "If Miss Wan didn't tell me, I really didn't notice that it is such a precious variety. If you take a closer look, this plum color is shiny and pearl-like. It really is a rare pearl plum!"
Prince Jing's youngest sister also nodded and said: "Isn't it? The main reason is that the Yingxuemei we usually see are small, delicate and expensive, and they don't like to bloom very much. Seeing such a big pearl plant Mei, and she looks so good, and blooms so brightly, I didn't recognize her for a while."
Feng Su'er took Gu Ye's hand and shook it: "Biao sister-in-law, where did you hire your gardener? Let me lend it to us for a few days, and I will send it back to you after I learn how to grow Yingxuemei."
"It really has nothing to do with the gardener. These two varieties of Yingxuemei have been improved. What is called improvement is to get rid of the bad ones and keep the good ones. Look at the color and shape of the flowers. They all retain the characteristics of Yingxuepearls." It is unique. And it is not easy to grow, and its delicate problems have all been broken by me." Gu Ye proudly led a group of little girls holding plum blossoms to the direction of the melon and fruit greenhouse.
"Wow! Cousin, I didn't expect you to be so powerful! I raised a Yingxue pearl plant, can you help me improve it too?" Feng Su'er was more lively, and under the eyes of all the little girls, she opened her mouth cheekily.
Gu Ye waved his hand and said with a smile: "What else should I change? When the two plum trees divide their roots in spring and give birth to young saplings, I will send you one by myself. What kind of plum trees do you like to grow? The same as ordinary plum trees." Take care of it like a tree."
"Okay, okay! Thank you cousin!" Several little girls cheered happily.
Wan Linfang watched enviously. Gu Ye looked back at her, and said strangely: "Why are you unhappy? Don't like Yingxue Pearl? Then forget it..."
"Ah? Mine too?" Wan Linfang pointed at herself blankly, a little uncertain.
"Of course, didn't I just say that? All the girls present! Didn't you hear?" Gu Ye looked at her. How did the girl, who was so energetic and energetic before, cut her appendix and made her feel so weak? right? Wouldn't it be a postoperative sequelae? I have never heard that appendicitis surgery can also change a person's personality. That... is a psychological problem.
"This Yingxue pearl plum is too precious, I thought..." All the worries and anxieties Wan Linfang had before coming here were all gone now. It turned out that it was her villainous heart, and the only one who was brooding about it was herself.
"It's just a plum blossom seedling. Could it be that I'm so stingy in your heart?" Gu Ye rolled his eyes at her, "If I forgot, you can let your Rong Xiaopang come to the mansion to dig it yourself."
Who... Xiaopang Rong doesn't belong to her family yet! Wan Linfang's cheeks were slightly hot, and he turned his head away, pretending to admire the scenery of Meilin.
"Biao sister-in-law is the most generous! Can my cousin give me two plants, I will plant them by the window of my boudoir. Waking up in the fragrance of plums every day is a good mood every day!" Feng Su'er looked at Gu Ye staringly.
Gu Ye pinched her face: "Should I give you two more plants, and even plant them on my husband's side?"
Feng Su'er blushed a lot, she was going to be married this year, and those who came to propose marriage almost stepped on the threshold. In the past two years, it was almost time to finalize the marriage. The little girl shyly hid behind her cousin, not daring to show her head for a long time.
However, it was a little girl. When she arrived at the vegetable and fruit greenhouse, she resumed her chattering state: "Is this a foreign persimmon? So the stems and leaves of the foreign persimmon look like this! This kind of persimmon really came from the western side ? No wonder it’s called a foreign persimmon!”
"Well, because it comes from the West, it is also called 'tomato'. Tomatoes are rich in various vitamins. They can be used in soups, stir-fries, cold salads, and can be eaten raw like this." Gu Ye picked a red one and picked it off. After picking up half of it, he handed it to Wan Linfang behind him, and brought the other half to his mouth to chew—well, the one that has been watered in the space is sweet!
The little girls looked at the red tomatoes and were a little eager to try, but they restrained themselves. Gu Ye looked amused, and said, "What are you doing? If you want to pick it, you can pick it! The vegetables used today have been picked early in the morning. If these are older, they can only be boiled in tomato sauce. However, don't eat too much. If you can’t eat the delicious food at noon, don’t cry then!”
It was the first time for the little girls to pick them by themselves, and they asked the servants of Prince Ning's Mansion for a small basket, and they had a great time picking them. Tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, and even green peppers were all picked off by them. By the time the melons and fruits are warmed up, everyone's small baskets are full.
"Our family can't eat so much. Whoever picks it will bring it back to me later, it can't be wasted!" Gu Ye asked the little girls to mark the baskets, and asked the servants to send them to their carriages.
The little girls cheered and went to feed the melons and fruits in the greenhouse. The warm shed in Prince Ning's Mansion really lived up to its reputation, there were really many kinds of melons and fruits in it, and there were actually cherries in it. My God, it's winter, and there are actually a lot of red fruits!
The vegetable, melon and fruit warming shed in Prince Ning's mansion has always been managed by the foodie princess. Why did she do it herself? The purpose is to smuggle things out of space!
After picking a crop of watermelon, Gu Ye will replace it with a new melon seedling that has already borne fruit in the space, and pour water in the space, without worrying whether it will survive. Cantaloupe, Hami melon and so on are also done in the same way. The servants in the kitchen who came to pick melons and fruits were all amazed at the skill of the princess in growing vegetables and melons.
This cherry tree was also secretly replaced by Gu Ye looking for an opportunity. The fruit was already half red. After a few days of cultivation in the greenhouse, most of the cherries were fully ripe, hanging on the branches waiting for someone to pick them. Because the cherries were in the corner of the conservatory, the servants who came to pick them didn't usually notice, so she changed her position without any pressure.
"Cousin, we picked the cherries, can we take them back?" Feng Su'er was so excited that she reached out and picked one and stuffed it into her mouth, it was so sweet! Compared with the Dongling Yantai cherries bought at a high price at the turn of spring and summer, they are fuller and sweeter.
Gu Ye didn't expect the little girls to be so easily satisfied, so he boldly said to the older girls and daughters-in-law who came one after another: "Pick it up! As long as you like it in this conservatory, go ahead and pick it up!"
Twenty or thirty ladies and wives of famous families were embarrassed at first. Seeing that Feng Su'er, Li Haniang, and Wan Linfang had already started to do it, they gradually put aside their reserve and joined the ranks of picking cherries.
Feng Su'er was not greedy either. After filling the small basket in her hand with about two or three catties, she fixed her eyes on the innermost small piece of strawberry field. Well, her favorite strawberry must not be let go. Before others find out, pick it up as a respect.
She picked the biggest, reddest and most beautiful strawberries, and picked half of the basket in one go. The favorite embroidered shoes were stained with mud, and the gorgeous skirts were also swept up in dust, these little girls didn't care at all. Soon, the strawberry field was also discovered by other little girls, so everyone flocked to it again.
Feng Su'er couldn't help but reminded: "Be careful, don't step on the seedlings! You can't fish in a dry marsh!"
Some little girls saw that there was no room for plugging in the strawberry field, so they went to the place where cantaloupe and cantaloupe were grown. Gu Ye taught them how to blend ripe melons and fruits. Those who come to the greenhouse, no matter who they are, return with a rewarding experience.
Gu Ye was very happy to see the little girls and young mistresses, and suddenly felt that entertaining guests was not that difficult. There's nothing the melons in the greenhouse can't handle!
These beauties in Beijing don't touch the spring water with their ten fingers. When they go to Zhuangzi occasionally, they just take a walk in the mountains and rivers. When did they pick vegetables and fruits by themselves? Under the eyes of the elders, every word and action is framed in the rules, like a puppet on a string.
As for Princess Ning, she herself is a special case among women, and can be said to be a hero among women. Look at those pharmacists who are respected by everyone, with a lot of beards, and respectful to her. And the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital, who do you usually take? But he had no choice but to back off in front of the little miracle doctor.
No matter what Princess Ning did, those people would whisper a few words behind her back at most, but never dared to reveal it to her face. Didn't see the censors, they all died down and looked for another target?
