The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 126 You must serve this lady well in the future and never offend her.

Sheng Wanqiu piled up all the four-character adjectives she could think of, not caring whether they were right or wrong, as long as she could fool the old man.

Sure enough, Qiao Wenyuan's mouth corners were harder to suppress than AK at this moment, his back was straight, and he could talk a lot, I love to listen!

Qiao Yuchen was already confused and at this moment he just wanted to call his two aunts back to take a look. Wasn't it said that his grandfather was stubborn and hard to please?

How come he was so coaxed by his sister Wanqiu that he lost his way and started to walk with his hands and feet trembling.

The Qiao family's old butler and a long group of servants who followed behind the three of them were all staring in amazement at how this strange girl had made the most difficult old man in their house laugh so hard that his teeth were bared.

You must serve this young lady well in the future and never offend her.

Sheng Wanqiu was arranged to stay in the small courtyard next to Qiao Yuchen's boudoir. The Qiao family's housekeeper took advantage of the time when others were having lunch to move from the inside to the outside, for fear of neglecting this Miss Sheng who could make the old man laugh.

While eating, Qiao Wenyuan kept picking up food for Sheng Wanqiu, fearing that her mouth would become smaller.

Sheng Wanqiu also accepted all the food and ate with her mouth full of oil. From time to time, she would use the serving chopsticks to pick up the food she thought was delicious and give it to Qiao Wenyuan.

Looking at the harmonious old and young, laughing and joking together, the Qiao siblings felt jealous because their grandfather had never picked up any food for them.

At a family dinner before, my aunt picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks for my cousin, and my grandfather scolded her from head to toe. He almost broke my cousin's hand. The family was so scared that they never dared to pick up food for the younger generations again.

Grandpa's original words were, "Eat if you want to, get out if you don't want to, you don't have hands! If you have hands and don't want to use them, just break them."

They are too lazy to eat and need others to serve them food. They might as well break their limbs and become disabled people, and hire someone to feed them!
My cousins ​​were so scared that they wanted to bury their heads in the bowl and drown themselves in the soup!

Alas! It’s all tears if I talk too much. The Qiao brothers and sisters looked at each other and helplessly picked up food for themselves.

After dinner, Qiao Wenyuan sent his grandchildren away and took Sheng Wanqiu and her servant to visit his back garden. Sheng Wanqiu became jealous again!
The afternoon sun shines through the sparse clouds, dappling onto the bluestone path. On both sides of the garden, the verdant bamboo forests sway gracefully, and the bamboo leaves make rustling sounds in the breeze. This is the so-called elegance of literati, who would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo.

In a corner of the garden, there is an ancient pavilion with stone tables and stone benches for people to rest. There is also a chessboard inside. It seems that the old man likes to play chess.

Around the pavilion, various flowers are in full bloom, red, yellow, purple... colorful, fragrant, and refreshing.

"Oh! Old man, do you like orchids?"

"Next time I'll bring you a pot of ghost orchid!" Sheng Wanqiu walked to a flower bed, which was full of orchids!

Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, the four gentlemen of flowers, all appear in this old man’s back garden. This is what literati love to do!
"Ah! You really saw the ghost orchid! Is this true?" Qiao Wenyuan's face turned red with excitement. His love for orchids was one reason, but the most important thing was that his mortal enemy, the immortal King Wu'an, also liked orchids.

She had boasted in front of him before, saying that she could find the best ghost orchid, but until now, there has been no sight of the ghost orchid. If she had found it, she would have come to show off in front of him a long time ago.

"Really? Just tell me how many pots you want, and I'll have someone send them to you when I get home!"

"If you're worried and anxious, just come back with me the day after tomorrow!"

Sheng Wanqiu saw the ghost orchid on a cliff in Daqing Mountain. It's a small, leafless epiphyte that grows on decaying bark. Its leafless, above-ground portion stands 5-25 centimeters tall, and it uses its roots for photosynthesis. Its flowers are peculiarly shaped, blooming in a spreading, arching pattern. They resemble leaping frogs, which gave Sheng a fright, considering she's terrified of small, slimy creatures.

After looking at it carefully, I realized that this was the ghost orchid mentioned in the book. Its eye-catching large white flowers look like ghosts floating in the air, so it is also called "ghost orchid".

Anyway, she has the spiritual spring to cheat, so she has as many pots as she wants. She can just go and dig them back!

"Okay, okay, then I'll go home with you. When I come back with Gui Lan, I'll make that old man so mad that he'll die!"

Qiao Wenyuan didn't want to wait even a moment, and wished Sheng Wanqiu could take her home right now!
"Old man, these orchids look very valuable, why are they so withered?"

Sheng Wanqiu pointed to several pots of orchids that were almost dead. She didn't understand the value of orchids, but just by looking at the pots containing orchids, she knew that these pots must be valuable!

"Alas! Perhaps it's because of the unfamiliar climate. I brought it back from the capital, and no matter how I take care of it, it's still half dead."

"Each of these pots is worth a fortune. I bought them from the Magnolia Pavilion. The most expensive one costs five thousand taels!" Qiao Wenyuan said helplessly, pointing to the orchid in a jade pot that was about to burn.

"How much? How much do you say?" Sheng Wanqiu wanted to grab Qiao Wenyuan's neck and shout, "Hurry up, you old spendthrift, hand over the silver to me!"

Come to me when you buy orchids next time and I’ll give you a discount!
"What's wrong? Why are you so excited?" Qiao Wenyuan looked at Sheng Wanqiu who looked constipated and was very confused!

"Old man, what does that Magnolia Pavilion mean? Is it a place that specializes in selling orchids?"

"If I have top-quality orchids, can I take them and sell them on consignment?"

Sheng Wanqiu thought secretly that if possible, she would get a hundred or eighty pots of top-quality orchids to consign and make a fortune!
"Sure! What's wrong? Do you have top-quality orchids? Show them to me!" Qiao Wenyuan rubbed his hands excitedly, his tone filled with urgency!

"Old man, do you have any ideas? We can split the money 20-80, I'll take 80 and you take 20, how about that?"

"From what you said, you little girl have a lot of orchids in your hands? Why don't you hand them over and let me, an old man, open my eyes!"

Qiao Wenyuan started yelling immediately.

"Old man, I'll tell you a secret. I have a secret recipe that can bring your orchids back to life. Do you believe it?"

"You won't understand even if I tell you. How about this? Have someone move all these half-dead creatures to my house. Tomorrow morning will be the time to witness a miracle!"

"Think about it, expensive orchids are hard to buy, but if one is half dead and only has a breath left, you can have as many as you want."

"You are responsible for collecting the fish, and I am responsible for raising them and then selling them. Hehe, I will make so much money that my hands will cramp!"

"What do you think? Give it some thought?" Sheng Wanqiu pretended to be sophisticated and winked at Qiao Wenyuan.
