Chapter 250: Giving Up
Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "The vegetarian banquet you prepared is also delicious. All you need to do is bring out some wine." Thinking that there would be no good wine in Fuyuan without men, he ordered Manager Luo, "Go back to Tangyuan and get it." Several jars of blue and white flowers are brewed.”
Chen Afu thought that Luyuan had prepared a lot of meat, and asked Shanzi to go get some more. Because the farming season is busy now, most men are busy working in the fields during the day, so Luyuan treats guests at night so that the men can eat and drink well.
A few people sat down in the room, and Qiuyue served tea. Only a few people who followed the Chu family and the Seventh Prince came in, and the rest of the guards were outside the courtyard or in Tangyuan.
From the corner of his eye, Chen Afu wanted to laugh when he saw that the Seventh Prince was pretending to be calm, but actually felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching his heart.
Seeing that the Chu family members were talking happily, the seventh prince stood up and said to Chen Afu, "Miss Chen, I think the flowers in your garden are very beautiful, and I want to see them again."
Chen Afu smiled and said, "Fifth Master, please help me."
The seventh prince added, "I like to plant flowers and grass. If Miss Chen has famous flowers, you might as well sell them to me. Don't worry, I will pay a high price for them."
Since when did he like to plant flowers and grass? The three members of the Chu family were puzzled. If it turned out that the three of them would help Chen Afu to be polite, he was the prince after all. But this guy first teased Chen Afu, and then followed him very carelessly to join in the fun, which made Chen Chen not come along. So, the three of them continued talking, pretending not to hear.
The seventh prince walked out by himself, followed by a young eunuch behind him. The two came to the three-color ball and watched it for a while. The little eunuch returned to the room and whispered to Chen Afu, "My prince invited Miss Chen out, and he really took a fancy to a pot of flowers."
Chen Afu came to the yard.
The seventh prince pretended to be relaxed and pointed at the three-color ball and said, "This flower is big and beautiful, with a rich fragrance. I have never seen it before."
Chen Afu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you have good eyesight. I bought this flower at a high price a few days ago. It was a hunter who went hunting in the mountains. He accidentally saw it and brought it out. I heard that it looks very similar to a rare medicinal material. It’s harder to find than thousand-year-old ginseng, and I don’t know if it’s real. I’m going to take it to the doctor to have a look tomorrow.”
The seventh prince's mouth twitched and he quickly denied it, "How can such a beautiful flower and such a fragrant fragrance be a medicinal material? Impossible!" He added, "I like this flower very much. Can Miss Chen part with it?"
Chen Afu wondered, "I have to say that it is a blessing for the prince to like this flower. However, I only have one pot, and we can't even find a second pot in the entire Sanqing County. Really... take a look, prince." If there are any other flowers you like, I will give them to the prince without taking any money."
The Seventh Prince really wanted to shout, "Don't you dare to take it away if I don't give it to you!" But looking at the upper room, there were the ancestors and grandsons of the Chu family and Princess Huachang there. No matter what, he did not dare to rob them forcefully, let alone attract them out.
He just wanted to cut through the mess quickly and make a deal in the shortest time, so he decided to use money to blind Chen Afu. He whispered, "I really like this potted flower and want to buy it back to the capital to enjoy it every day. How about a price of five thousand taels of silver? As far as I know, the most expensive orchid is only this price."
Chen Afu didn't expect this guy to pay so much, but it looked like he was in a desperate mood. Originally, she had been thinking about how to raise the price with him, but the amount he gave her really moved her heart. Seeing that he was extremely anxious, he was unwilling to torment him any more. After all, he was the prince, and there was no harm in forming a good relationship with him.
Then he said, "Your Majesty likes her so much. No matter how reluctant I am, I have no choice but to give up my love. Alas!" After saying this, he sighed and looked very painful.
Seeing that Chen Afu agreed, the seventh prince was very excited, fearing that she would regret not selling. He extended his hand to the little eunuch and said, "Bring me some silver."
The little eunuch quickly took out a purse from his arms and took out a few banknotes. The seventh prince handed the banknote to Chen Afu and said to the little eunuch, "Quickly, take this flower to the king's car. Be careful and wait for it. If anything goes wrong, I will take your dog." Life."
The little eunuch agreed and cautiously walked out the door.
Chen Afu took the banknotes and looked at them. One thousand taels each, five in total. It’s really great! She smiled and put the banknote into her purse.
The seventh prince was really relieved when he saw the little eunuch carrying the flowers out of the door. The flower is finally his, and he can finally lift it up.
For a year, a whole year, this hidden disease made him feel ashamed and angry, and he even began to doubt his life. It’s okay this time!
The seventh prince opened the folding fan and fanned it leisurely, giving Chen Afu a smile that was even brighter than the sunshine in the sky. His look looks more like when Dabao is happy.
Chen Afu shivered, this guy must not be Dabao's biological father, that would be so tragic.
The two of them entered the house. When the Chu family heard that the seventh prince spent five thousand taels of silver to buy a pot of flowers, they were all shocked.
The Seventh Prince said, "A thousand pieces of gold cannot buy you the love in your heart. I like it, and I am willing to spend it no matter how much money I have."
Mrs. Chu San asked what such expensive flowers looked like, and she also wanted to see the flowers.
The Seventh Prince declined, "I've already asked people to move it into the car."
Mrs. Chu said, "Just move it into the car and move it back."
The Seventh Prince added, "Let me give it a try. After I return to the capital, I will hold a flower-viewing banquet and invite the imperial sister to come over and watch it."
Chen Afu thought to himself, will there be any wool left when we return to Jingnahua? I thought so, but didn't say it out loud. I still kept the client's secret very professionally.
Soon, Aunt Zeng led people to serve lunch. There was a table in the hall, where the Seventh Prince, Old Marquis Chu, and Chu Lingxuan ate. There was a table in the side room, where Chen Afu accompanied Mrs. Chu San to eat, and several children and the animal family ate in the west wing.
Mrs. Chu San also suggested that they move their seats to the west wing and eat with the children.
Although most of the dishes were vegetarian, the vegetarian dishes with added ingredients were also delicious. Moreover, each dish was decorated with flowers, some with fruits and flowers, and some with small pumpkins or cucumbers.
Mrs. Chu San praised, "Oh, no wonder Xuan'er praised Fu'er for being clever, it's really clever. I can't bear to eat such a beautiful dish."
The most popular of all the dishes is the cucumber. This cucumber seed was taken by Chen Afu to the space for a few days. It has not grown up yet, only a dozen centimeters long, and it is fragrant and crispy when dipped in sesame sauce. If it is not dipped in sauce, it is crisp, sweet and tender. Chen Afu gave it a name, called fruit cucumber.
This kind of cucumber was planted in a small ridge by the backyard wall of Fuyuan and Luyuan, only for their own consumption.
The Seventh Prince was not as satisfied as the Chu family. His whole mind was on the three-color ball. After finally finishing the meal, he said, "I suddenly remembered that there is still a great view in Honglin Mountain that I haven't visited. I want to go there for a while, so I'll take my leave first."
