Chapter 927 - 925: Sincere Heart
Wang Yongzhu saw that the matters downstairs no longer needed her attention, so she felt at ease to go upstairs and chat with Imperial Doctor Du and Lady Qi.
Only Old Granny Zhang was accompanying them upstairs, and she was still a bit uneasy.
Unexpectedly, when she went upstairs, she found Lady Qi and Old Granny Zhang having a delightful conversation. Even Imperial Doctor Du, though looking annoyed, didn’t say anything and dutifully kept them company.
Seeing Wang Yongzhu bring up a basket of jasmine flowers and a basket of gardenias, the fragrance filled the air.
Lady Qi stood up first: "Such interesting flowers, where are they from?"
Seeing Lady Qi’s interest, Wang Yongzhu casually handed over the flowers: "Bought from a boy running errands downstairs, not expensive and very fresh."
Lady Qi, upon receiving the flowers, couldn’t put them down. She measured where to place them in the hall and said, "Let’s ask that boy later to buy a few more baskets to take home."
Wang Yongzhu naturally agreed.
She looked towards Old Granny Zhang with concern, afraid she might feel uncomfortable.
Old Granny Zhang was perfectly composed, looking at the flowers while smiling, "Talking about me, this old woman, I used to love flowers when I was young in the countryside. I planted quite a few wild azaleas and wild jasmines from the mountains at home. Now that I’m older, I don’t have the heart for it anymore. But my daughter takes after me; she loves flowers."
"In our hometown yard, my daughter planted a lot, like a big gardenia tree, white and fragrant, the entire yard smells wonderful when it blooms. Coming to the city, the yard isn’t big, and I’ve been ill, so I lack the energy for it. When we have time, planting a gardenia in our yard would be nice."
Wang Yongzhu laughed: "I was thinking the same as mother, just told that boy downstairs to ask if he knows any place that sells flowers, if so, to bring them home tomorrow. Then we’ll pay our respects to the master and madam with a couple of plants! But in Jing County, there probably aren’t any rare flower species, just some wildflowers from the mountains. I hope madam won’t mind."
