GBP Chapter 222 Molan
Chapter 222 Molan
Lying in bed, Mo Zhu tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
For many years, he always slept with Su Qingchen in his arms.
Not only is he the only one left now, he doesn't even know where Su Qingchen is.
Thinking about it, I feel a little sad.
If I had known earlier, I should have asked Su Qingchen for something to carry with me before leaving.
Now he could only think of Su Qingchen's appearance in his mind.
Mo Zhu sighed and felt unwell.
Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he simply got up and left the room.
"Master? What's wrong?" asked Xiao Ma who was on duty outside.
"What are you doing here?"
"Little one is on duty tonight."
"I don't need it, go back to sleep."
"Master, the rules of this mansion..." Xiao Ma had no intention of going back.
"What I said doesn't work?"
"Well... uh... this... the country has its laws, the family has its rules, and we also receive monthly wages from the mansion." Xiao Ma was a little embarrassed.
"Oh, so you're on duty tonight, what about tomorrow?"
"We will work as usual tomorrow, but the younger ones will only take turns once a month," said Xiao Ma.
Mo Zhu nodded: "Is there a flower market nearby?"
"Yes, it's in the south of the city. The young master stayed up late at night because... flowers...?"
Xiao Ma frowned, trying to figure out what his young master was trying to do now.
"When does the flower market open?"
"They usually bloom at noon, but the flowers in our house are usually sent by Gardener Zhang. He has a wide variety of flowers. If you want any flowers, just tell Gardener Zhang."
"I want to choose it myself."
"...Uh, fine. If you want to go to the flower market yourself, you can go to Gardener Zhang at noon tomorrow morning."
"at any time?"
"Yes, the Luo family and Gardener Zhang are old customers. For decades, flowers for various festivals, weddings, and daily use have been given to him. Young Master doesn't have to be picky when he wants to order flowers and plants."
"Go now?"
"...Uh, Master, when I say "not picky about time," I mean when everyone is generally awake, not when it's late at night like now..."
"Oh..." Mo Zhu didn't insist, but his tone was a little disappointed.
"Master, how about... how about we go now?"
Compared to the young master's usual nonchalant and high-spirited appearance, Xiao Ma rarely sees the young master in such a lonely state now, which makes people feel a little distressed.
"No, wait until tomorrow."
"Okay, Master, go to bed first. I'll wake you up at dawn tomorrow, and then I'll take you to Gardener Zhang."
"No need. You can take a rest tomorrow morning. Let Xiaowu accompany me."
"Uh..." Xiao Ma was also a little uncomfortable with the young master who was suddenly full of humanity.
It’s not that my young master was a bad person before. He was generous and humble to his servants. It’s just that he was not as meticulous as he is now.
"Young Master, you usually sleep until dawn and cannot be woken up even if you are called. You never have anything to tell me at night, so I will just take a nap." Xiao Ma lowered his voice and spoke to Mo Zhu.
"Hehe, did I disturb your rest just now?" Mo Zhu said with a smile.
"No, no, haha, no, no, just tell me if you have anything to say."
"Okay, I'm going back to the house. I'll go tomorrow morning."
"Okay, young master, you have a good rest. I will definitely wake you up before the rooster crows."
Mo Zhu turned around and went back into the house.
He sat at the table with his chin propped up, thinking of many things in the past.
The sky outside gradually changed from black to dark blue.
"Young Master." Xiao Ma knocked on the door gently and called out from outside.
"coming."
Mo Zhu opened the door and walked out.
"Master, you're up so early?"
"Well, I woke up early today. Can we set off now?"
"Yes, yes, that's for sure." The pony said cheerfully, "I'll go get the horse now."
"how far?"
"Three miles."
"Then let's walk. It's so early in the morning, don't ride a horse."
"Okay, let's go."
It took them almost an incense stick of time to reach Gardener Zhang's flower garden.
"Gardener Zhang!" Xiao Ma shouted as he walked in.
"Here!" Gardener Zhang stretched his neck to look outside.
"Hey, Xiao Ma, Master Luo! Hey, why did you come in person so early?"
Gardener Zhang hurried forward to greet them.
"Master wants to choose some flowers."
"Oh, then just pass the message to me. No need to go there in person."
"It's okay, I just came to take a look." Mo Zhu looked around.
"What would Master Luo like to order?"
"Is there any Molan?"
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes. Master, please come this way. Molan doesn't like the sun very much, so I put it over here under the eaves."
Mo Zhu followed Zhang the gardener to the eaves, where the lush green black orchids looked very lively.
"How many do you have in total?"
"There are 24 pots here, and 36 more pots behind the house, a total of 60 pots."
Gardener Zhang knows everything about what he has in his hands.
"Okay, I'll take them all."
"Yes, yes, I'll have my apprentice bring it to your house later. Do you want to choose something else, Master?"
"no need."
"how much is it?"
"We settle our accounts at your house every month."
"Yes, yes, sir, just choose the flowers." Xiao Ma said.
"Then I've chosen. I'll take one pot first. Please bring the others to me."
"Yes, yes, Master, which basin would you like to take?"
Mo Zhu carefully selected a pot with flower buds, "This one."
"Good, good, this pot has bright colors and a nice shape. Master, you have good taste."
"Yeah." Mo Zhu liked it more and more the more he looked at it.
"Gardener Zhang, we'll go back home first. Please send the rest over as soon as possible," said Xiao Ma.
"Yes, I'll ask my apprentice to come and load the car now."
Mo Zhu carried the pot of black orchid all the way back to Luo Mansion. Xiao Ma offered it to him several times but he refused to take it.
"Go find me a nice flowerpot. I want to change it." Mo Zhu ordered.
"Yes, Master, there are many flower pots at home. What kind do you want?"
"White, pretty."
"Okay, I'll go get you a few so you can choose."
Everyone got up at this time. Xiao Ma called Xiao Wu to go and move a dozen white flower pots to Mo Zhu.
"What's going on, young master?" Xiao Wu asked.
"I don't know. I was going to buy black orchid at midnight yesterday."
"When did the young master start liking flowers and plants?"
"Last night at midnight..."
"After we deliver the flower pots, we also have to help take down the red silks, red flowers, and red lanterns. The housekeeper has instructed us to take down all the wedding supplies today."
"Oh. Our young master finally got what he wanted."
"Oh, this is what happened."
"Don't worry about it, it's better than our young master running away from the marriage and nothing happens."
"That's true."
The two diligent people kept chatting all the way.
Mo Zhu picked out the most beautiful one from a dozen flower pots and carefully transplanted the Mo Lan.
"It looks better in the new pot." Xiao Ma also began to appreciate the flowers.
"Give orders, no one is allowed to touch this basin from now on."
"Yes……"
Mo Zhu placed the pot of black orchid in the middle of the table and carefully wiped every leaf.
"Master, where should we put the other Molan when they arrive?"
"Put it in my yard."
"Yes."
"Young Master, we have to go clean up the house. Please remember to pay your respects to the Master and the Madam." Xiao Wu said.
"I know. I'll go after I get the flowers ready."
