Just as she was thinking, Xiaoxiao said, “It’s hard to get even if you have a thousand taels of silver? Then who can pay a thousand taels? I’ll share one with her.”

There was no lack of people with prominent families present. Even if they could not afford it, they might know one or two rich people who had nowhere to spend their money. When they heard this, they were really tempted.

Especially when Xiaoxiao said, “There aren’t many. Just five stalks. First come, first served.”

Five stalks!

After the flower appreciation banquet ended, not only was Xiaoxiao unharmed, but she also received a five thousand taels order. She had the capital to open a shop in the capital.

“Cback to the General’s Residence withto look at flowers. Pick a pot you like.”

Gu Ruoruo felt that she could have one. Otherwise, she was afraid that Xiaoxiao would choose whichever one looked good as a garnish for her.

When they walked out of the courtyard, Xiaoxiao waved her hand when Gu Ruoruo did not notice and Rong Yan walked out from the corner.

“Is it over?”

Gu Ruoruo widened her eyes at her chief. Rong Yan nodded at her. “I’m here to pick Xiaoxiao up.”

Twelve and Seventeen couldn’t help but run to the place where he walked out. When they returned, they looked at him with admiration. “Third Prince, you’re good!”

The two of them actually did not sense his existence at all.

The two of them becmore and more vigilant. They decided in their hearts that they would be more careful when protecting Miss in the future.

Fortunately, it was the Third Prince who ctoday. If it was an expert with ulterior motives, wouldn’t Miss be in danger?

If not for Rong Yan’s strong request, Xiaoxiao planned to take him home.

However, he said, “If you leavein the space, it won’t be convenient forto help if you encounter danger.”

Xiaoxiao said, “Then if you always appear with me, people will say that you’re too romantic.”

Rong Yan smiled and asked, “So what?”

“I like you. It’s not something that I’m ashamed to let others know.”

Xiaoxiao was immediately convinced by him and happily showed off her affection to Gu Ruoruo.

When the young lady arrived at the General’s Residence, she was already full before she could eat.

However, she was still quite happy for Xiaoxiao. Although the Third Prince was not doted on, he was still a prince with military achievements. Moreover, he did not care about the secular world’s opinion of Xiaoxiao. It meant that he really had her in his heart.

Gu Ruoruo had heard Xiaoxiao say that there were “many” flowers at home, but she did not expect it to be so many.

Looking at the orchids that were casually placed, she heard from Xiaoxiao that half of them were still in her hometown Fortune Village. She also heard from her that she dug them back when she went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables…

Gu Ruoruo took a sip of tea angrily. “Enough. Stop talking.”

If she listened any longer, she was afraid that she would pack her luggage and run to Fortune Village tomorrow.

The tea was fragrant and mellow. It was a chrysanthemum. Gu Ruoruo looked down and froze.

“What kind of tea is this?”

Xiaoxiao said, “Chrysanthemum.”

Gu Ruoruo pinched the bridge of her nose like an old pedant and asked, “What’s the background of the chrysanthemums that make tea?”

Xiaoxiao took out a pot of Golden Silk Royal Chrysanthemum from the corner of the wall. “I separated its branches when I had nothing to do back then, and a large patch of it grew as I split them. I saw that these flowers bloomed well and didn’t bear fruit. It would be a pity if it wilted, so I dried them and used them to make tea.”

Gu Ruoruo decided to talk to Shen Tianci later. She could not leave just like that. Shen Tianci still had to go back to Xijiang County to study, right? Xijiang County was not far from Fortune Village, right?

Didn’t Shen Tianci say that it was hard for him to study? It should be good to take a walk in the countryside and see the beautiful natural scenery.

Perhaps because she had seen Xiaoxiao’s extravagant flower tea, Gu Ruoruo was very calm about her choice of gifts. She calmly chose two—

A pot of Emerald Grade One and a pot of Plain Crown Lotus Cauldron.

“Although I don’t know what species this orchid is, I like it.”

Xiaoxiao gave her a thumbs up. “Good taste.”

Gu Ruoruo looked at this person who probably didn’t know anything about flowers in surprise. Then, Xiaoxiao said, “This flower doesn’t bloom much. It’s not easy to use it as a garnish.”

Gu Ruoruo did not want to chat with her anymore, but she still had to ask.

“Are you really going to sell the flowers?”

Xiaoxiao said, “That’s right. It’s free money. It’s a waste not to take it.”

“I need a lot of money to spend next.”

Gu Ruoruo naturally thought of her marriage and the financial situation of the General’s Residence all these years. Then, she sincerely felt that it was really not easy for Xiaoxiao. She even had to worry about her dowry.

She asked, “Is five stalks enough? Why don’t you sell more?”

Xiaoxiao was surprised by her change in attitude, but she still explained seriously, “The rarer something is, the more precious it is. I won’t be able to sell it for a good price if I sell more.”

Gu Ruoruo was about to praise him when she said, “And I won’t have any use for them if they’re all sold.”

Gu Ruoruo did not want to know how she would use it at all.

Gu Ruoruo, who had eaten her fill and brought the flowers home, was brought back by Grand Secretary Gu not long after. She watched helplessly as her great-grandfather fell silent after drinking a cup of flower tea. She was not surprised at all as she watched her great-grandfather and Little Grandpa pick the flowers. Then, she could not help but roll her eyes at the innocent-looking Xiaoxiao.

From the next day onwards, Xiaoxiao received 1,000 taels of silver every day. When she got 5,000 taels of silver, she looked for her Second Brother valiantly.

Ning Anhui rubbed his eyes hard. “What is this? Is it all my money? Even if I sell the shop, it won’t be worth so much money.”

Xiaoxiao reminded him, “Do you still remember the grass you brought when you cto the Imperial Capital? I’ll sell them all.”

Of course, he had to remember. His sister had asked him to dig up a cart of grass in the courtyard of his house and bring them along when he entered the capital. He had been puzzled for a long time. He could understand why his sister wanted to dry her chrysanthemums, because those flowers were big, fragrant, and convenient to make tea. But why did she want the grass?

He was stunned. “You just said that you sold what?”

“You sold those green leaves for 5,000 taels of silver?”

Xiaoxiao stretched out a palm. “I only sold five stalks. I’ll sell the rest after stime.”

Ning Anhui took a long tto digest this fact. Only then did he know that the rich in the Imperial Capital were so stupid and rich. However…

“I can’t take this silver. You dug the grass and planted it. The silver should be yours.”

As her older brother, how could he take advantage of his sister? Moreover, his sister had just gotten engaged and was going to marry a prince. Wouldn’t she have to prepare sglorious dowry?

Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hand and did not reach out to take the banknotes. “But Brother, I only dug them back from Dayan Mountain. Occasionally, I would have to water, fertilize and transplant them. Which one of them wasn’t helped by you and Eldest Brother?”

Especially Second Brother. Back then, he had complained a lot about Xiaoxiao’s unique taste and that she would move all kinds of weeds and wildflowers home. However, he was also the first to pick up a small shovel to help Xiaoxiao transplant them.

He even silently built a shed for these flowers and plants when he felt that the weather was about to change.

“Second Brother dotes onthe most. I like Second Brother very much!”

These straightforward words made Ning Anhui, who had already becclose to her, blush and scratch his head. Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to say, “Besides, Second Brother, weren’t you worried that the cost of opening a shop in the Imperial Capital would be too high? Look, the heavens immediately sent you your capital.”

“It can be seen that there’s fate in the world.”

“Second Brother, you can take a gamble. Anyway, the money to open this shop fell from the sky..”
