Chapter 648: Too Unpopular
Editor: Henyee Translations
The four of them each took two pots of flowers. After a few trips, the 20 potted plants were all moved.
Shopkeeper Pan was still hanging from the tree. Not only did no one care about him or put him down, they even pointed at him and mocked him.
Gu Yundong shook her head. It was rare for a person to be so unpopular.
In the end, a man who wanted to continue enjoying the shade under the tree put him down. When Shopkeeper Pan landed, his legs were weak, and his entire face was red. Soon, his face turned pale.
After he regained his senses, he did not say anything and ignored everyone’s teasing. He immediately packed up his potted plants in a hurry and left with his head buried.
In short, he never appeared in the flower and bird market in that area again.
Gu Yundong finished teaching Shopkeeper Pan a lesson and bought the flowers. Then, she said to the little girl, “I bought these flowers for my mother, but I don’t know if my mother knows how to take care of these flowers. If you do, can you come back with me and teach my mother for a couple of days?”
The little girl was stunned and did not know how to answer.
The mother was also a little stunned. It turned out that this customer had bought the flowers for her mother. This girl was filial, but…
“Miss, if you don’t mind, I’ll go with Xiao Yuan. What do you think?” She was worried about letting her daughter go with a stranger, even if this stranger looked like a kind and friendly girl.
Gu Yundong smiled. “Of course I don’t mind.”
She let the mother and daughter get into the carriage before giving them the money to buy flowers.
There were a total of 20 pots of flowers, some expensive and some cheap. It was about five taels of silver.
The little girl called Xiao Yuan was still very happy. She looked at the silver with a glowing face.
There were many flowers in the flower and bird market. There were more expensive flowers that were raised well. Those rich people naturally wanted to buy those famous flowers that were carefully nurtured. Flowers like hers seemed to be everywhere. Flowers that were neither up nor down were the most difficult to sell. Sometimes, she might not even sell two pots a day.
Now that they had sold 20 pots in one go, today was a great harvest for them.
Not to mention going to the customer’s house to teach how to plant flowers, even if they were asked to push all the flowers to the customer’s house on a cart and arrange them one by one before watering them, they would be happy.
Moreover, teaching others how to plant flowers was a very happy thing for Xiao Yuan.
The mother and daughter sat in the carriage and looked at the potted plants reluctantly.
The carriage drove into the south of the city and soon arrived at the area where Gu Yundong was.
Xiao Yuan and her daughter were still a little nervous. They were from the Xuanhe Prefecture. Although they didn’t live in a good place, they knew that this was a place where scholars lived. They heard that the prices of houses were high, and the people coming and going were all students. They were especially polite, and it was a place that people yearned for and respected.
The carriage quickly stopped at the door of the courtyard. Xiao Yuan and her mother got out of the carriage and felt that the clean street was completely different from the flower and bird market. They instantly became reserved.
Gu Yundong had already pushed open the courtyard door. When she looked up, she saw Madam Yang.
Madam Yang, who was sitting in the courtyard, looked at Yunke writing in a daze. She still had a sewing basket in her hand. Previously, when she was in Yongfu Village, she had learned embroidery from Shen Sitian for a period of time. She had even embroidered a few pieces of handkerchief that made her feel a sense of accomplishment.
Gu Yundong had thought that she liked it very much, but now he realized that it was not the case..
