Chapter 266: Seeing an Old Friend Again, Grabbing the Hairpin!

"Can...can I plant it?" Qin Wanru looked at the small packet of flower seeds in her hand and felt that there was something mysterious in it.

"Miss, many people in Beijing are now inviting some experienced gardeners to come into their houses, just to take care of Tang Qian Yan this time. Miss, do you think you have to invite one too? I'm afraid if you go late, All the gardeners have been hired!" Grandma Yu reminded her that when she came back all the way, she heard that several gardeners who were very good at taking care of flowers and plants had been hired.

"No need!" Qin Wanru thought for a while and shook her head.

"Why not? Miss, although there are servants in our house who take care of the flowers and plants, they must not be that knowledgeable. Especially for the delicate flowers and plants like Tangqian Yan, we must find someone to take care of them!"

Aunt Yu frowned with worry.

After returning to the house, Aunt Yu went to investigate specifically and found that the gardener in the house had no experience at all about Tang Qianyan, and could only take care of ordinary flowers and plants.

"It will take a long time for this flower to grow seeds and bloom. There must be a lot of people who can't raise it properly!" Qin Wanru said. She had no clue at all and didn't want to be caught in such an order issued by the palace. I didn't know that it was the noble man in the palace who gave the decree. He could mobilize the power of various families so much. If he was not the Queen Mother, he should be the Queen.

No one else has that much power.

So what is the purpose of planting Yantangqianyan? Is it really just a simple planting of flowers and plants that requires such a large array? Qin Wanru subconsciously felt that it was not simple. She stayed away from this kind of thing and didn't want to stand out in the slightest.

It is safe to be like most ladies who did not grow it or did not grow it well.

Before she understands the truth, she will not make a challenge in vain. Ignoring everyone is the best way!

"Even if most people don't raise them well, there are always a few who stand out and raise them extremely well!" Aunt Yu didn't understand the other meanings of Qin Wanru's words, so she only explained them literally.

"How can you be a provocateur?" Qin Wanru was still smiling, her watery eyes leisurely.

Aunt Jade was stunned for a moment when she asked this question, and then she said, "I don't know, but I think there must be a reward from the palace!"

"The palace will not give out rewards for no reason, and it has cost so much manpower and material resources. If the request was not so small, it would not alarm so many unmarried ladies from aristocratic families, and besides, they are all unmarried!" Qin Wanru said meaningfully road.

Being reminded like this by Qin Wanru, Aunt Yu was aroused, her face immediately changed, but her voice lowered unconsciously, and she asked hesitantly: "How many princes are you choosing a concubine for?"

"None of the kings of Yue chose concubines. This time they chose girls from aristocratic families who were not engaged. It was also the palace's decree. It should be for these princes!" Qin Wanru pondered for a moment and called softly. Take a breath.

Chu Liuyue is not very old, but the selection of a concubine requires observation for a period of time. It is very possible to regard the seed of Yan Yan as part of the selection of a concubine.

I believe that not only I have noticed this, but also many aristocratic families have noticed this. This is also an important reason why the gardeners have been invited away one after another.

After saying this, Aunt Jade let out a low voice, a little panicked.

"Let's leave it like this for now. We'll plant the flowers ourselves. No matter how good we are at it, there's nothing we can do if we can't grow it well. Once we plant it, we'll put it in my window and I'll just take care of it myself!" Qin Wanru's eyes flashed. Passing through a deep space, he smiled and said.

"Miss, do you grow your own flowers?" Grandma Yu looked at the pot of swallows in the window, and she really didn't have much confidence.

"It's okay, just do your best!" Qin Wanru said without any burden.

"Miss, what should I do with this post?" Since Qin Wanru had already decided, Aunt Yu could only follow her wishes and look at the post on the side.

Along with Tang Qianyan, there was also a bright red post. It was a post from the palace. The empress came forward to invite the ladies from the aristocratic families who had received the seeds to come to the palace for a flower viewing party. This was what they were rewarded with. Yan in front of the hall.

Most Tangqian swallows bloom in autumn, and some also bloom in winter, but there are a lot of them and their appearance is more precious.

"Of course I have to go to the palace for postings. Is there any at Qin Yuru's side?" Qin Wanru picked up the exquisitely painted posting and asked.

"The eldest lady doesn't have it, because the eldest lady is already engaged, and even if she is not engaged, it is impossible for the eldest lady to get the post. I heard that the ladies from the aristocratic family who got the post this time are all of good character! "

Aunt Yu said.

The most talked about thing in the capital now is Baotang Qianyan's seed and this palace post.

This result was originally expected. Qin Yuru's current reputation was not bad, which made her more and more sure that this matter should be related to the princes' selection of concubines.

Although the current eldest prince Yue Wang Chu Liuyue is not very old, how can the royal marriage be kept simple? It is normal for the selection to take place slowly.

Qin Wanru was the only one in General Ningyuan's mansion who was going to attend the banquet. In the next few days, the old lady was even more concerned about it, and she and Shui Ruolan rushed to make a few more sets of clothes for Qin Wanru.

On this day, Qin Wanru was kicked out of the house by the old lady to pick out some suitable jewelry. She said that the original jewelry styles were too old and asked her to choose some more suitable ones.

The carriage left the palace gate and headed towards the lively and bustling streets of the capital.

The curtains were raised, but the gauze curtains were lowered. Qin Wanru sat at the door of the car window and looked out the window. When the carriage turned a few streets, she pointed to a large gold jewelry shop outside and nodded. .

"Stop the car and go to this place!" Yu Jie immediately raised her voice and said to the carriage driver.

The carriage driver took the order and stopped the carriage in the alley next to the store door. Yu Jie put on the curtain hat for Qin Wanru and helped her get out of the carriage.

The two people went to the shop one after another.

This shop looks very extraordinary from the outside. It is a large shop with three bays and has three floors. As soon as I stood at the door, I realized that the people who came to this shop were either rich or noble.

The entrance is very lively. From time to time, you can see some ladies and ladies from aristocratic families dressed up and entering the store. Business is very good.

Qin Wanru took Yu Jie into the door and walked around first. There were many people below, many women were choosing, and there were even many people surrounding them in some places. Qin Wanru walked around, but found nothing particularly suitable. He took Yujie up to the second floor, which was more refined than the one downstairs.

There are private seats separated by screens near the window, where you can sit and wait for others, or enjoy the scenery.

Some of the men who accompanied me sat in the private seats chatting and did not feel bored waiting for someone.

Qin Wanru came up, looked at the floor above, and came to the counter in the middle. There were also several ladies here, who they obviously knew, and a large group of maids waiting around.

Looking at the sets of exquisite jewelry they were choosing, Qin Wanru stepped aside calmly. It was obvious at a glance that the pieces of jewelry were valuable. Although her grandmother gave her money, Qin Wanru She felt that there was no need to spend so much money to buy these. She also thought about saving some money and investing some capital in her own shop, so that the turnover would be more flexible.

With this thought in her mind, she stopped joining the crowd and turned to the side. The sets of gold ornaments on the counter were very exquisite, including headdresses and necklaces.

Finally, Qin Wanru stood in front of a cabinet, pointed at a hairpin inside and said, "Can you show me this hairpin?"

"Okay, miss, please wait a moment!" The waiter responded very smartly, and carefully took out the hairpin that Qin Wanru was interested in.

That hairpin is very delicate and beautiful. The flower shape on it is the shape of a Tangqian swallow. It is not very big, but after the petals are stretched out, the stamens are dotted, which is very vivid, just like a real Tangqian flower in full bloom. Like a swallow.

One end of the hairpin is also decorated with a few beads, dotted down from the stamens, and the stamens reflected are more and more delicate and dotted with pearls. Although they are not so eye-catching at first glance, they are extremely beautiful and delicate upon closer inspection. They seem to be more delicate than before. Those hairpins on the main cabinet are better.

A lot of thought was spent on each of the thin stamens. Each one is different, but each one has its own charm. The differences between the stamens and petals are described with gold ornaments.

Qin Wanru liked it very much when she saw it.

When she saw the clerk taking it out, she wanted to reach out to take it, but was snatched away by a hand stretched out from the side. She turned her head in surprise and saw a woman standing next to her, looking at the cigarette in her hand with a look of surprise. The hairpin snatched from Qin Wanru.

"Third cousin, look, does this hairpin look like the flower in the front hall of your open window?" The woman showed the hairpin to the man next to her.

Qin Wanru's eyes turned to the man on one side, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Life is full of surprises.

She had tried every means to get a glimpse of Wen Xichi, to remind Wen Xichi that his cousin was not a good person and to ask him to be careful. When they met at Huaguang Temple, she could tell from Wen Xichi's words that he was not a good person and asked him to be careful. This cousin's matter should have been investigated clearly, but at that time he had doubts about himself.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Qin Wanru did not want to see Wen Xichi now. She really had no other thoughts about him, she just wanted to repay the kindness she received from her previous life.

Just when you want to see her, you can't see her no matter how hard you try. When you don't want to see her, you can actually see her while walking. I have to say that this kind of thing is really hard to describe.

He looked at Gu Xishu who was standing next to Wen Xichi. This was his cousin, the cousin who had been raised in the Prime Minister's Mansion. After he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, this cousin had plotted against him.

After reviving my life, I never expected that we would meet again at this time.

"Miss, this hairpin was our lady's first choice. How could you steal our lady's thing?" Yu Jie stepped forward, pointed at the hairpin in Gu Xishu's hand, and said loudly.

Being scolded by a maid, Gu Xishu's face turned red. Yixiang's pretty face immediately blushed, and her eyes also turned red. She bit her lip, looked at Wen Xichi and said weakly: "Three Cousin, I...I just showed it to you, I didn’t really want to steal other people’s things!”
