Small green grass falling from the sky

【Heart misses a beat】

It took only five hours to send a letter from Bianjing to Luoyang.

The messenger set off in the morning and knocked on the door of Su Li's house at night with the Luoyang prefect's message and token.

The prefect of Luoyang agreed very simply that the Henan government would hold a flower festival on the tenth day of April, which coincided with the [-]th birthday of the prefect's mother, and needed a batch of top-grade camellias and crabapples, and asked Su Li to send them as soon as possible.

Su Li was very fortunate that the best plants in Baihua Lane were the precious camellias and crabapples of various colors. As long as they could be sold, the harvest this season would not be a problem.

In addition, he decided to add another sixty pots of longevity flowers as a gift to the prefect's mother.

The flower households had no objection. The price given by the prefect of Luoyang was [-]% higher than that of Jingnan Huazhuang. In this way, not only would they not lose money, but they would also earn money.

Uncle Huai took the initiative to deliver flowers, hired more than a dozen donkey carts, called all the young and strong, took the token from the prefect, and went to Luoyang without stopping.In previous years, when the flower fair was held, they would also run around selling flowers, especially in Luoyang, so Su Li was not too worried.

When the flower households came back, they brought back the prefect's token.

Uncle Huai said beamingly: "The prefect has said that this token will be kept here with Boy Li. If there are any good flowers in the future, you can send them there."

Su Li smiled, and took the square bronze medal.

In the middle of the bronze medal is the character "Guo" in seal script, and the word "Changli" is engraved on the back.When Su Li met him for the first time, he guessed that Guo Yang, the prefect of Luoyang, was from the Guo family in Changli, the family of the famous prefect of Dachu.

Deep smile lines appeared on Uncle Huai's face, "The prefect also said, thank you for Lizi's longevity flowers. The old lady was very happy and gave me money." Then he handed the cloth bag containing the money to Su Li.

Su Li opened the layers of packages, and inside were two ingots of white flowers, each worth 20 taels—this was almost as much as the money they sold for flowers.

Uncle Huai rubbed his hands, looking a little apprehensive, "At first I didn't dare to accept it, but thanks to the steward's advice, it's rare for the old lady to like it, and it's considered auspicious..."

Su Li nodded, and said with a smile, "Uncle Huai, don't worry, longevity flowers have good meanings. The flowers bloom in clusters and are golden in color. It's really festive, and we caught up with it."

He knew in his heart that it was not uncommon for people from a well-to-do family to reward them with three or fifty taels.Why wasn't their family like this before?

Seeing Su Li so calm, the flower households were relieved, and then they were happy—they finished their work and even went to the prefect's house, which is worth bragging about for most of their lives.

When Su Li counted the 40 taels of reward and wanted to share it with everyone, the flower households didn't want it anyway.In the end, it was Su Li who insisted, and everyone accepted it with all sorts of embarrassment.

Uncle Huai patted his thigh, and said with a smile: "Let your sister-in-law Zhu pack some dishes at noon, and all the boys will come to my house for a drink!"

"Okay!"

"I have long been greedy for Mrs. Zhu's craftsmanship!"

The young boys responded one after another.

There is no need for invitations, no door visits, men sit cross-legged around the kang table drinking and chatting, ladies come in and out with wine and dishes, children chase and play around the house, and occasionally ask for a bite or two of food - such an experience It was very fresh to Su Li.

Someone said with emotion, "How long has everyone been together like this?"

Uncle Huai felt sad, since Huai Zhu's accident, the family has been gloomy, and life has been stretched. It is true that it has not been this lively for a long time.

Uncle Li, who lived in the north room, took a sip of his wine and sighed: "In the past, it was Brother Su Zhang Luo. Since my brother got sick, the brothers have obviously become less friendly."

"Don't worry, Uncle Li, isn't there a fence again?" Huai Zhu leaned against the tall quilt and patted Su Li's shoulder with a smile, "We will follow the fence from now on."

"Follow the fence, you can't go wrong!" Li Gui, Uncle Li's son, held a big bowl and raised it towards Su Li.

Su Li's hands in his sleeves trembled, and his heart also trembled - please don't toast him again, although the plum wine is not spicy, it has a lot of stamina, he has never drank so hard before .

However, everyone obviously didn't hear his heartfelt voice, and they all held up their wine bowls, without saying anything nice, and just gulped down.

Huai Zhu patted his stiff legs, lowered his eyes and said, "At the end of the day, I still have to thank Li Zi. With the Huafei Fangzi, I can help the family fertilize, so I won't be a useless person."

When he said this, he didn't feel sad at all, but seemed very open-minded, and everyone laughed.

Since he took the initiative to talk about it, Su Li took the opportunity to ask, "Brother Zhu, is this leg broken? Can it be cured?"

"I broke a bone and hurt a tendon. I missed a good time. It's not easy to cure." Huai Zhu said lightly.

Su Li touched his face subconsciously. In comparison, he was much luckier.

Now he doesn't wear a cloth scarf unless necessary, and everyone gets used to it after seeing a lot.Even the little lady of Huaizhu's family is not afraid anymore, she will timidly call him "Uncle Li" every time she meets him.

When everyone talks about their future plans, they are generally planting flowers in a down-to-earth manner, saving some money, buying a rented house, or sending their children to school. These are all very simple wishes.

Thinking of his blood feud, Su Li clenched his fists tightly—until he became really strong, he couldn't think about it, mention it, or expose it.

He lowered his eyelids, took a sip of wine, and suppressed the redness in his eyes.

Li Gui glanced at him, and joked, "Lizi, are you planning to drink up the plum wine that Uncle Huai has collected in one meal today?"

Uncle Huai didn't accept his provocation at all, so he slapped him on the head, "You're the only one who drinks a lot, and still has the nerve to criticize others!"

Li Gui chuckled, picked up the sea bowl, and took another sip, "This wine is originally brewed by Su Bo. Can't Li Zi drink it when he goes home? I can't do it!"

After he mentioned it, Su Li remembered that there was indeed a recipe for wine making at home. In Yuanshen's memory, Father Su would make some plum wine every year, and when it was finished, he would share it with the neighbors.

Li Gui winked at him, "Lizi, can we still have new wine this year?"

Su Li smiled and waved his hands, "If you wait for me to brew wine, you may not be able to wait for the little plums to grow into big trees."

The rare witty words made everyone laugh, and even the ladies in the Westinghouse lifted the curtains and made some jokes.

Su Li raised his eyes to see Mrs. Zhu, and vaguely remembered that someone said just now that she used to be a cook in a wealthy family, no wonder she was so good at cooking.

"I'll bring the recipe later, and I'll trouble sister-in-law Zhu to do it." Su Li said this lightly, but everyone was stunned.

Huai Zhu was the first to react, and hurriedly said: "No way, no way, how can such a good prescription be given to outsiders casually?"

"Outsiders?" Su Li raised his head, looking at everyone with peach blossom eyes, showing a clear and shallow smile, "If there are any bean paste recipes, pickle recipes, and dim sum recipes at Uncle's house, I will also take them together." Come out, so we all have something to eat?"

Everyone didn't know that Su Li had such a temperament, and he was full of emotions for a moment - he was really wronged in the past.

Everyone pushed the cups and cups, and the house became lively again.

The situation in the east and west houses is quite different.

Seeing that the families that had the worst life in the past sold flowers, got money, and gathered together to drink and eat meat, they watched their own flowers and quilts returned.

The little ladies stood in the yard and stared at the south room desperately, weeping greedily, and the wives were so jealous that they slammed doors and windows, cursing.

When Granny Huai heard this, she sighed helplessly, and asked her granddaughter to share the food with the children in the yard—if the adults did not deal with each other, the children should not be involved.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Nizi went out happily, but came back with red eye circles, and the food on her hands was also stained with dirt, "Auntie won't let the big girls eat, and threw the meat on the ground, saying yes, saying yes ..."

The little lady began to cry as she spoke.

Aunt Li has a hot temper, she hugged Xiaonizi over, and said neatly: "If you don't eat, you can save yourself!"

Granny Huai also sighed, isn't that right, they used to be too soft-hearted.

***

It was past noon when I got home.

Su Li tightened his clothes, why is the wind so cold at the end of March?

There was a loud shout at the entrance of the alley, Su Li turned his head and saw a wide flatbed cart, pulled by a tall mule, turning into the alley clangingly.

"Brother, borrow your light!" The coachman smiled warmly and friendly.

Su Li also raised the corner of his mouth and leaned against the wall.

Another covered carriage came in from behind, Su Li didn't pay attention, his eyes were only on the things on the flatbed cart—it turned out to be a few packed fat...sheep?Judging by the appearance of this head, it should be a sheep.

One, two, three, four... There are four of them, and they are placed next to each other on a clean oilcloth, covered with another layer, and only four heads are exposed.

Mutton in Bianjing City is the most expensive, because there is no one to raise it, so you need to buy it from the north, and the one who can buy four sheep in one go is the only one.

Su Li subconsciously looked at the carriage behind, and saw Chu Jing jumping out of the carriage.

The first thing I saw was the legs - so long!

Then there's the arm that's outstretched—well, it's about twice his size.

Surprise and amused flashed in those radiant phoenix eyes, followed by a deep and magnetic voice, "Standing on such a flat ground, can you still wrestle?"

"I didn't fall." Su Li puffed up her face and subconsciously retorted, "I'm hiding from a donkey cart."

The corner of Chu Jing's mouth rose, and his smile deepened.

Su Li blinked, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this person was really indecent.

Chu Jing lowered his head and gently sniffed him, "Have you been drinking?"

Su Li glanced at him, "What's none of your business?"

As everyone knows, the amorous look at that glance made His Royal Highness's heart skip a beat.

I've always known that Xiao Langjun's eyes are good-looking, but I didn't expect that they could look like this - the round eyes are a little wet, the long eye ends are stained with layers of blush, and the long eyelashes are fluttering, revealing a hint of cunning, Straightforwardly proud, end is winking like silk!

Chu Jing's hands couldn't help but increase their strength.

Su Li let out a cry of pain, and frowned slightly, "Let go."

Chu Jing didn't let it go, and shifted his gaze to the scarred right cheek, a place that he hadn't paid attention to before, but now he felt it was an eyesore.

Mr. Xiao Lang seemed to think of something, rolled his dark eyes, and smiled brightly, "I sold the flowers, but I won't sell them to you!"

Really drunk...

There was a little hoarseness in the deep voice of His Royal Highness, "If you don't sell it, then don't sell it!"
