Chapter 1071 - 243: Comparison One by One_4
Huang Qiu and Xue Dong’s expressions immediately soured. The ladies were taking these for Madam to bring home to the young lady. By taking them away like this, did they regard her as a menial servant?
Dou Mingying, too, found it excessive. Pei Qin was, after all, the wife of a Second Rank General. Such humiliation was quite unsightly. Holding onto her lotus, she said, "Luckily we picked plenty, let’s give some to them and keep these for ourselves!"
Pei Qin laughed heartily, "Although some flowers are edible, lotus flowers aren’t easy to swallow! Just picking them for fun is enough!"
Dou Mingying looked at her, not even angry, sizing her up. Was Madam Yuanyang just generous, or was she not catching on?
Seeing many people looking over, Huang Qiu couldn’t hold back and said, "If we’re talking about flower arrangement, water lilies last longer and look better in a flower ladle! Let’s go back and arrange water lilies instead!"
"Around Capital Jingcheng, it’s rare for anyone to successfully grow water lilies. Does your estate have any?" Dou Mingying really liked water lilies.
"We have a pond full at the Tiance General Mansion!" Huang Qiu replied with a slight smile.
Dou Mingying, remembering that Mo Heng and General Pei were on good terms, thought they were going to ask for some flowers, "I really like water lilies, and I’ve only managed to grow a few. It’s a pity I can’t visit the Tiance General Mansion to admire them. I’ve heard the scenery inside is delightful, even better in the garden!"
"One day, we could go take a look!" Pei Qin said with a smile.
"General Pei hasn’t accepted anyone’s invitation, and nobody has visited the Tiance General Mansion; it’s hard to get in!" said Dou Mingying with a longing look on her face. Her elder brother said he was close with General Pei, but unfortunately, she had never met him.
Pei Qin smiled and said no more.
