405, New Year's Eve Flower Fragrance

The "Tunxuan Flower Market" in Kyoto is very large, occupying two long streets. In addition to selling flowers, there are also several sellers selling goldfish and incense candles.

"Before I bought New Year's flowers, I bought more than a dozen goldfish first!" Shan Niang was in a particularly good mood today. She asked the little girl around her to send the tank of goldfish to the carriage first.

"There are fish every year!" Xiaoxiao followed her mother happily.

"Fortunately, there are not too many people today. If it is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, it will probably be crowded!" Ci Gu still guarded Shan Niang carefully, for fear of being hit by some reckless person.

A young couple was walking over, her husband was holding a large pot of Nantian bamboos full of red fruits in his hand, and his wife was holding a bunch of silver willows covered with white velvet buds.

Xiaoxiao thinks that this natural silver willow looks much better than the modern dyed ones.

"We also want to buy some red fruits this time, and the house should be full of red during the Chinese New Year." Since Shan Niang became pregnant, she has gradually become a festive and lively atmosphere.

Even Ci Gu praised her on the side, and Shan Niang usually liked Yuguo Tianzhu more.

Xiaoxiao is still the style of a young girl: "I don't have so many red fruits in my house. The red fruit of the Xifu Begonia in the yard is enough to see."

"I always have to put some red beans." Shan Niang said.

Huh, Xiaoxiao was also surprised by her mother's sudden aesthetic change, and she couldn't help but tease her: "Then I'll place a tree of red beans on the left side of the main hall, a tree of kumquats on the right side, and a pot of winter-baked peonies in the middle!"

Shan Niang shook her head and smiled, and said seriously again: "Kumquats are auspicious, and the meaning is good. We also buy a large pot and deliver it to the old lady. And your aunt, her house has just been cleaned up, so naturally there is no time to prepare these flowers. Your sister-in-law has just passed the confinement period and has no energy to do these things. Let's buy more of the arising lily for them."

Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly and saw many people buying daffodils: "Every family's study room has to be equipped with daffodils, so we should buy more daffodils and garlic."

The shop in front was written on the cover of "Jinzhang Silver Platform, Zhangzhou Narcissus". Xiaoxiao wanted to go to that house, but he was pulled by Ci Gu: "Isn't this the Wen Family Flower Bureau? I almost walked past!"

Xiaoxiao stopped and saw that the door of the house beside him was the "Wen Family Flower Bureau". The red walls and black tiles were inconspicuous, but the customers were flowing endlessly.

Tiaoyan walked forward first, lifted the double thick curtains, Xiaoxiao helped her mother into it, feeling a wet and fragrant smell coming to her nose, and she saw the vast hall full of flowers.

Many guests have stopped to stand, some enjoying flowers, some choosing flowers, and some bargaining.

A enthusiastic guy came forward and Xiaoxiao waved his hand quietly, meaning he was planning to take a look first.

Shan Niang first took a look at the kumquat that was taller than a tree: "This tree grows the best, the old lady must like it!"

Tiaoyan also said on the side: "These oranges are still small, and they will grow to their peak during the Chinese New Year!"

"Confirm this tree." Shan Niang made the decision immediately. The guy kept a careful note and felt secretly happy. He had met a big customer.

Shan Niang turned to the plum blossom bonsai next to her, "This tree is well-grown with plum blossoms. There are no plum blossoms in the yard of the four bedrooms. Give this tree to the fourth brother and sister."

Xiaoxiao also saw a tree of cinnabar plum bonsai with a tangled posture: "I remember my father likes red bones the most, put a pot in his study!"

"Okay," Shan Niang nodded, "I originally thought of putting a pot of green calyx in his study, but it is inevitable that it is too simple to match with the daffodils, and the bones are very red."

Xiaoxiao remembered the Spring Festival in the past, and she would go to the flower market with her mother before the festival, and at most she would buy a pot of azaleas and a pot of daffodils. If she went to visit her grandparents, she would carry a small pot of kumquats or cyclamen. Xiaoxiao looked at the pot of kumquat trees carried away by two little friends. The small pot of kumquats from the past was just a branch of it.

I inevitably think of the old things and my mother every New Year's Eve when I depend on each other. Fortunately, I have the lively and festive Spring Festival Gala to accompany me, so it is not too deserted.

"What are you thinking about Xiaoxiao'?" Shanniang pointed to a large pot of pink lilies, "How about giving this to the big room?"

Xiaoxiao recovered: "Just remembering that my aunt was allergic to lilies."

"allergy?"

"When you smell the fragrance of lilies, you will sneeze." Xiaoxiao finally remembers some useful things, "My aunt likes Yu...Magnolia the most, but unfortunately there is not yet, so why not give it to Tianzhu?"

Fortunately, I didn’t say the tulips out. There were no tulips in Yuanlong Dynasty, probably because Wen Xiding had not met tulips yet.

"Then give a large tree to each of the red fruit and the jade fruit." Shan Niang nodded.

"What flowers do you want to place in the room?" Xiaoxiao found that his mother did not mention him.

Shan Niang thought carefully: "Put some red beans in the main room, daffodils in the study, and your father won't let the tea and plums in the next room, and the other... The two pots of orchids I raised are about to bloom, but I just want to add two more snow willows. I used to plant them in Lanxi every year, but I can't see them in the north in winter."

Xiaoxiao asked the guy if there was snow willow. The guy pointed upstairs and said that the daffodils and various smelling fruits were also upstairs.

"Don't go upstairs, I'll just go there! I'll buy all the daffodils and garlics back by the way!" Xiaoxiao took Xiao Di'er to go upstairs.

Shan Niang didn't forget to remind her: "Don't forget to ask the master to help carve it, otherwise the daffodil will only grow leaves but not bloom."

"Remember!"

There are partitions upstairs, including Wenguo, Daffodil orchid, and various freshly cut flowers.

Xiaoxiao first chose daffodils and garlic. Each study room had to be placed, and the study room of brothers and sisters had to be placed. I couldn't figure it out for a moment, so I simply ordered twenty pots of garlic at once, each pot of two pots of garlic. I asked the carving master to carve it first, and then I went to choose the snow willows himself.

Snow willows grow in Kyoto, but it is difficult to bloom in advance in winter. It needs to be cultivated in a greenhouse. The snow willows in the Wen Family Huajuan grow very well, and some of them have already bloomed pearl-like small white flowers, with a very elegant fragrance.

Xiaoxiao chose long branches with unflowered and very artistic sense, which are good to use to insert bottles separately or match other flowers.

Xiaoxiao asked for more than twenty branches at once, and Xiao Dier reminded him unconsciously: "This flower is too white, I don't know if it's taboo to give it to other houses. The girl only buys our Zhuli Pavilion."

Xiaoxiao said, "I'm calculating the accounts in my heart. In addition to using it in my mother's room, we also need to use it in our room. I want to give the rest to my third sister. I think she must like it."

"It's because I'm careless. It's rare for the girl to think about the third girl."

Xiaoxiao remembered Wen Guo's arrival yesterday. She only got some apples in her room, so she was afraid of the third sister... Fortunately, she didn't fight for these things.

"Add her another green-caly plum bonsai."

"It's all white." Xiao Dier reminded.

"Oh, then Jiang Mei? She is suitable for single-petal plum blossoms." Xiaoxiao's eyes looked at the fresh cut flowers in front of her, "Do you need to add some lilies?"

"The girl gave too many, and there were also daffodils."

"Yes, fortunately, you reminded me." Sometimes it's not good to be too enthusiastic.

Xiaoxiao didn't dare to continue watching the flowers, otherwise he would buy more and more, so he pulled Xiao Dier to the daffodil counter. The master was using a daffodil carving knife to carve garlic. Xiaoxiao had never seen this, and he felt his knees hurt after one knife.

Xiao Dier found it fresh and interesting. While looking at it, she asked the master many questions: Are these yellow and green flowers that need to be retained? Why do you have to be bent? It's carved now, will it bloom over the New Year?...

Fortunately, this master was very patient, and while carving, he answered every question of Xiao Dier.

Xiaoxiao sat on the stool beside him and looked through the New Year's Flower Picture Album. When he heard them say "carving", he still felt uncomfortable, so he took the picture Album and ran to the Wenguo Hall next door to look.

Because the Wen family Hua Bureau is not a specialty for selling fruits, there are no customers in this hall, and the two guys are leisurely taking care of the fragrant fruits.

Xiaoxiao said that he was waiting to carve daffodils, so he sat next to a large plate of Buddha's hands with excellent looks and flipped through books. The fresh fruity fragrance made people feel very comfortable.

"You said Canaan is really not coming back?" The two guys chatted.

Another said: "Canan has always been strong, and was scolded by the young master of the church, and in front of everyone, he will definitely not come back. If it were me, I would not come back."

"Besides, Canaan has the skill of making perfume, so where can you make a living?"

"Canan is our fourth master's apprentice. He didn't sign a contract with the mansion. He left and left, and there was nothing he could do."

Alas, I heard from Xizi that I sent someone to look for Canaan, but I couldn't find it. If this person ran to another Xianglu shop to do it, the loss would be great.

"After that, Young Master Tang really had a bad temper a while ago, and has been restrained a lot recently."

"He has always been a good man, who knows what happened a while ago?" The guy lowered his voice, but Xiaoxiao could still hear it. "It is said that it was for the girl from the Zeng family in Hubi. They were originally in love, but the Zeng family thought that our young master had no family background..."

"Didn't the master say that when the young master gets married, he will give him two good shops and a flower farm in the suburbs of Beijing."

"There are already quite a lot of people who are giving a distant young master. Some people's concubines may not be able to get so many."

"But the Zeng family doesn't think so. In their eyes, Young Master Tang is just a big manager in the family." The guy sighed and shook his head.

"Now we? The young master doesn't even go to the flower banquet."

"He was thinking too much. Our fourth master and he were as old as him. Haven't we ever been to the Huafang?"

"How can this be compared! The Wen family's powder Xianglu will be the Fourth Master from now on. After many years, the Fourth Master will be the master of Xianglu Wen family!"

Another guy said happily when he heard this: "Then our third master is the attendant family of the Hua Wen family!"

"The second master is from the Wen family with Huacha Jiaoguo!"

Xiaoxiao: Pooh

"Then will the Rose Wen family disappear from now on?" The guy was shocked by his words.

"We have the old man! The rose villages in Yunnan are all from the old man, so the old man must be the head of the rose Wen family! Besides, the big house has added a second grandson to the Wen family this year."

"Haha, what other family members do you think these two young masters will be divided into in the future?"

"Maybe it will be divided by flowers, red roses, yellow roses, and the goddess of the sea. I think our master was divided from the family of Spice Wen and made the roses."

Xiaoxiao flipped through the picture album, smiled in his heart, and sighed in his heart the rich imagination of these two young men.

I remembered Wen Zhi again, and the Canaan seemed to be unable to come back. Yesterday, Wen Xixiu mentioned that he came, saying that he was best at making refrigerated incense and hoped that he could develop more new flavors of cold incense during this period.

Unfortunately, Wen Xixiu is still on the road now, so he can only receive his letter, but cannot reply.

Even if you have the conditions to reply, you should not mention these troubles to him in the letter.

Xiaoxiao interrupted the two guys: "I want this Buddha hand."

"This... has been ordered in advance by a customer." The guy said, "We still have some Buddha hands here. Although they are not as unique as this plate, they are all top-quality."

The guy brought a small plate with orange and yellow kids' fist-shaped Buddha hands inside, but smiled and looked at the plate beside him: "There are two hands here, it's very rare to have this kind of tandem. I don't know which customer ordered it, but when I talk to him, I'll give it a pair to me."

"Yes... it's the boss Tang of the Silk Tang family."
