Small green grass falling from the sky

【Good Flowers Selling and Destined People】

There are a total of six houses in Baihua Lane from west to east. Except for the "mansion" of Chu Jing's family, each house is a spacious courtyard.

The rest of the family lived together with four families. Father Su was a wealthy man who bought an entire courtyard with money in his early years. After the old man passed away, it fell into the name of Su Li.

At this time, Su Li was carrying a wicker basket and gently tapping on the door of the neighbor's house.

The person who opened the door was a kind-faced mother-in-law, about fifty years old.

Su Li covered his face with a cloth towel, and bowed politely, "Grandma Huai, these flower fertilizers were made by my father before his death, can you use them to exchange for some water?"

Granny Huai looked at him as if she had seen a ghost, and asked in a daze, "You are...Little Li?"

Su Li smiled slightly, and asked playfully, "Don't Granny Huai know the boy?"

Granny Huai looked stunned, nodded, then shook her head.

She naturally recognized Su Li and saw him almost every day; however, she had never seen Su Li so polite.

Seeing her staring at him blankly, Su Li felt a little unnatural.

He clenched his fists, covered his lips and coughed lightly, and said sincerely: "I want to cook some bean rice for Xiaohu, but there is no water at home. Look, can you change some water for me?"

Grandma Huai just came back to her senses, hurriedly opened the courtyard door, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, there is still a lot of water in the tank, you can scoop it up as you like!"

Su Li breathed a sigh of relief quietly, with a clear and pleasant voice, "Thank you, mother-in-law, where do you put the flower fertilizer?"

"No, no, no!" Granny Huai waved her hands again and again, "The neighbors live in the neighborhood, but they just drink some water, what can I change?"

A tall and thin old man rushed over suddenly, grabbed the wicker basket in Su Li's hand, and said in a cold voice: "The flower fertilizer is left, the water is in the tank, go scoop it yourself."

Even though he had already expected the attitude of others, Su Li would inevitably feel embarrassed when confronted with it—the former youngest son of the prime minister, and a young handsome talent, had he ever received such a supercilious stare?

Su Li tightly shook hands hidden in his sleeves—in order to borrow water from a neighbor's house, he even changed into decent clothes.

Granny Huai's complexion changed, she pulled Old Man Huai aside, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Damn old man, why are you crazy?"

Old man Huai stared at him, and snorted coldly: "If you agree to change, just change. I'm not used to his problem of getting something for nothing!"

Su Li was startled, and immediately understood the deep meaning of the old man.

For a moment, all the sadness and depression were swept away. He held up his hands and gave a deep salute, "Thank you Uncle Huai, thank you Granny."

Granny Huai hurried to help, "I can't do it, I can't do it."

Old man Huai snorted coldly with a stinky face, turned and went back to the room.When I came out again, I had an extra bucket in my hand, and the water in it was so full that it was about to overflow.

Su Li bent his eyes and showed a warm smile - this was the first kindness he had received since his rebirth.

***

When Su Xiaohu came back, the bean rice was already cooked on the stove.

Su Li only filled a small bowl, leaving the rest to him.

Su Xiaohu glanced at the big belly stove, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "This is for winter." The meaning is obvious, if it is worn out, what can we do in winter?

Su Li smiled shyly, and explained in a warm voice, "Take care of it for now, and put it away when I learn how to use the stove."

Su Xiaohu gave him a strange look, not only pleased with his change, but also wary of his purpose - and also tired.

Su Li ignored Xiao Langjun's tangled expression, and unskillfully filled him with a bowl full of beans and rice.

Comparing the amount of food in the two bowls, Mr. Xiao Lang softened his heart unbelievably.

He hesitated for a while, and finally took out the cloth pocket hidden behind his back, and threw it in front of Su Li roughly.

Su Li was taken aback, "What is this?"

"Look for yourself." Mr. Xiao Lang said gruffly.

Su Li smiled helplessly, and unwrapped the cloth bag unhurriedly.Seeing the bacon that was pressed into a ball inside, he couldn't hide his surprise—it wasn't the piece of meat that he liked, but Mr. Xiao Lang's miss.

"Is this for me?" Su Li smiled.

"Would you like to eat or not!" Xiao Langjun said in a bad tone, but he was secretly looking at him from the corner of his eye.

Smelling the burnt aroma of bacon, Su Li was indeed a little greedy. Since the incident happened in the Prime Minister's mansion years ago, he hadn't eaten meat for a long time—beheaded meal doesn't count.

However, he still rewrapped the bacon and said with a smile: "You are growing up, and you are hungry quickly, save it and eat slowly."

Su Xiaohu's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "This is my leftover, even if you don't eat it, I will throw it away."

Su Li sighed lightly, and rubbed Xiao Langjun's messy hair, "Little Tiger, if you can't speak well, how can you let others know your thoughts?"

Mr. Xiao Lang wanted to hide subconsciously, but he really missed the warmth of his palm, so he stuck his neck like this, snorted and finished picking up the rice grains in the bowl, and ran away without looking back.

Su Li shook his head with a smile, rewrapped the cloth pocket, and decided to cook it for Xiao Langjun next time.

As the saying goes, "If you are not in charge of a family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are." Su Li really understood it.Facing the crisis of food shortage, Mr. Su, who has always been ignorant of ordinary things, also began to worry about his livelihood.

"I need to earn some money as soon as possible..."

The little flower spirits came over and offered suggestions enthusiastically.

"Sell flowers~"

"Sell flowers like daddy~"

Su Li's spirit perked up, yes!

The flowers and plants in the yard are all Papa Su's painstaking efforts. If they are taken care of properly, it will be a good livelihood for him at present.

Su Li can communicate with flowers and plants, and can better understand their needs. He said without humility, if he can't raise flowers well, no one can raise them well.

"Go sell flowers~"

"Selling flowers~"

The little flower spirits actively encouraged.

Su Li clenched his hands into fists, smug, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow morning!"

***

The next day, Su Li got up early.

In the faint morning light, he washed his face, tied up his hair, changed into neat cloth clothes, cut up diced meat and cooked a simple casserole of vegetable soup, and ate a small amount of pancakes bought two days ago. bowl, and the rest was warmed on the stove for Su Xiaohu to keep.

A month ago, he never believed that he could do these things calmly and proficiently, and the sense of accomplishment of doing it himself made him extremely at ease.

In the flower shed, the little flower spirits stretched out in unison, and rushed to Su Li's side.

"Choose this~"

"This is also good~"

The little ones came up with ideas in a hurry.

Other flowers and plants are also conscious, but they cannot turn into flower spirits, nor can they speak, but they can express their thoughts clearly.

A pot of longevity flowers in full bloom shook its branches and leaves, and eagerly "yelled": "Choose me, choose me! My flowers are the most beautiful!"

"Hmph, that's not true, that old man used to like me the most!" A camellia retorted proudly.

"Well, I also want to have a new owner~" a pot of carnation "said" softly.

"And me~"

"..."

According to their own wishes, Su Li chose a dozen or so potted flowers, carefully moved them to the flatbed cart, then covered them with a cloth towel, bid farewell to the little flower spirit, and walked out the door lightly.

Behind the float, there is a small figure in the distance.

Su Li smiled slightly, pretending he didn't see it.

To the east of Baihua Lane is Tongshui Street, and it takes about a cup of tea to the south along Tongshui Street to reach West Street.Going east from West Street and passing through Zhengmen is the inner city.

At this time, people carrying wicker baskets, pushing flatbed carts, and driving little donkeys were crowded into a long line and passed through Zhengmen one after another.

When people saw the cloth scarf on Su Li's face, they couldn't help whispering.

Su Li's face was calm, but there was a glint of darkness in his eyes.

In fact, he didn't care about his appearance, if he wasn't worried about scaring others, he wouldn't even cover himself with a cloth scarf.It's just that listening to these people talking loudly and meanly about "their" past is uncomfortable for everyone-especially when their statements are exaggerated.

Su Li could bear it, but some people couldn't.

"Shut up! Everyone shut up!" Xiao Langjun clenched his fists, his thin face flushed with anger.

There was a moment of silence in the crowd, and then more fierce accusations——

"Hey, it really isn't that the whole family doesn't enter the house, look at this kid is fierce!"

"Isn't it, how big is this, and it's just so horizontal?"

Su Li frowned, and said coldly, "Didn't you say that I'm 'cruel, black, and wolf-hearted'? Are you really not afraid of my revenge for insulting my father and son so much today?"

The crowd suddenly fell silent, and the faces of the few people who talked the most happily just now turned red and white, really beautiful.

Su Li snorted and stretched out his hand towards Su Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, come here."

Xiao Langjun ran to the car with great dignity, but didn't shake his hand.

Su Li was already very content.

When he was entering the city, the soldier guarding the gate asked him for a delicate carnation flower, which he happily pinned in his hair.

Looking at the innocent smiling face of the other party, Su Li's depressed mood inexplicably improved.

He pinched another one and stuck it in Xiao Langjun's messy hair.

The little guy blushed and pulled it off dissatisfied, but held it tightly in his hand and didn't throw it away.

Su Li smiled lightly, feeling better.

Su Xiaohu glared at him angrily, and strode forward.

***

There is a state bridge at the end of Royal Street, and there are flower stalls on both sides of the state bridge all the year round.

When Su Li went, the good spot had already been taken by someone else, so he had to settle for the next best thing, occupying a small space near the corner of the street, just enough to put down the flatbed cart.

When everything was settled, Su Li couldn't help becoming nervous—he has never had any business experience, can he sell it?

Su Xiaohu raised his voice, and began to sell in a naive voice——

"Selling flowers!"

"Camellia, winter jasmine, and longevity flower, all of which are fragrant and colorful—"

"Lang Jun gave up money to buy flowers and wear, tomorrow the magpie will call the branch—"

"Women give up money to buy flowers and wear, and the matchmaker knocks on your door!"

Xiao Langjun's serious tone combined with his mouthful of witty words, it's really fun.Passers-by laughed in unison.

Su Li couldn't help showing a smile, and his nervousness was slightly relieved.

Soon there will be guests at the door.

"How do you sell my little brother's camellia?" The young man's tone was gentle.

"Thirty Wen." Su Li quickly said a number - this was told to him in advance by the "experienced" little flower spirits.

Lang Jun smiled slightly, simply counted out thirty Wen coins, and handed them to him.

The first deal was completed, Su Li couldn't hide his joy, but when he saw the heavy flower pots, he couldn't help hesitating, "Are you just... moving back?"

Lang Jun shook his head with a gentle smile, "That's all."

As he spoke, he stretched out his plain white fingers and broke off a side branch decorated with flowers.Layers of light pink petals, the morning dew is not yet shining, against the slender fingers of Lang Jun, it is more beautiful.

Su Li was stunned for a moment before realizing that he only wanted to buy one.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute." He lowered his head to look through the purse, trying to get back 28 Wen - just now he saw Hua Lang next to him sell a bunch of winter jasmine and took [-] Wen.

Lang Jun waved his hands and said with a smile, "It's rare to like it."

Su Li paused and smiled nicely, "Thank you, sir. I will save this camellia plant for you. I will be here every day from now on, and you can come and pick it up when it is convenient for you."

Lang Jun nodded, and walked away with a smile on his hands.

Su Li's heart skipped a beat, and he faintly felt that this person's back was very familiar.

Could it be... where did I see it?

"I like him." Camellia said happily, shaking its branches and leaves.

Su Li smiled and touched its branches lightly.

Xiao Langjun's smiling pupils were so beautiful that it dazzled the eyes of a certain county king.

The tall and long-legged Prince of the County squeezed through the crowd and walked over unsteadily.

"Brother, do you have water lilies here?" Chu Jing's eyes swept across the flower stand, and then fixed on Xiao Langjun's eyes.

Seeing that it was him, Su Li lost most of his good mood, "No."

Chu Jing raised his eyebrows, and continued his efforts, "Is there any at home? If so, I can make a reservation."

"Neither at home." The attitude of refusal couldn't be more obvious.

"This little brother." Chu Jing curled his lips and stepped over the flatbed with his long legs.

Su Li's eyes widened in surprise—the legs... are so long.

Chu Jing hooked his neck and said familiarly: "Is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Su Li raised his head and looked at him with a look of surprise—he was... so tall.

Chu Jing raised his eyebrows and patted his forehead affectionately, "Why, you are so fascinated by my handsome appearance that you can't even speak?"

Su Li's expression froze, and he uttered a word clearly, "Get lost!"
