Hong Ying to pour tea."I heard the sound of reading in your courtyard and thought a teacher had arrived. I didn't expect it to be your own family studying!"The village head chuckled and took the tea...Everyone was surprised to hear that the Li family opened this hundred-flower garden with the intention of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds...

To know, famous flowers and jade are like, priceless.

To those who don't love flowers, even the most beautiful ones are only slightly prettier than grass. But to a flower lover, a single bloom is like a treasure, something worth spending their entire fortune on!

The Li family is willing to donate half their profits, and even use valuables in exchange for medical supplies and food, just to provide relief to the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled. It's truly remarkable.

Each aristocratic family sets up a porridge stand at the city gate every winter, hoping to make the entire Tianwu know about it.

But aid for the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled is like a bottomless pit. No matter how much you throw in, there are no ripples, and no one pays attention.

The Li family, they're not after any fame or fortune…

The Dean of the Zhou clan bowed first, and with a booming voice said, "Sir, your righteousness is truly admirable. We are all deeply impressed."

The rest of the guests also readily agreed.

"Lord, you are righteous."

Li Lao'er was not proud of his accomplishments. He humbly returned the salute and said: “Speaking of which, we should also show everyone the assets of our Baihuayuan, otherwise, how can we convince everyone to willingly contribute their food and medicine Isn’t that right”

There's a saying in our countryside: "Whether it's a donkey or a horse, you'll know once you take it out for a spin!" Let's give it a spin now...

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand at the gate of the eastern garden. Lao Caotou carefully brought out a pot of flowers.

Before he could place the flowerpot on the display table, a discerning person exclaimed, “Oh, it’s a golden teaflower!”

A passerby exclaimed in surprise, "It's really a golden tea blossom! But it's not the season for tea blossoms to bloom now. How was this cultivated"

"Not only is it in the wrong season, but it's blooming so well, dazzling and radiant, with petals that seem translucent. This is the pinnacle of the golden tea flower!" One flower aficionado couldn't contain himself, he walked forward and began to critique.

Another voice chimed in right after, refusing to be outdone: "The golden camellia flowers are mostly of the cup shape, this bowl-like form is truly rare. They are so vibrant and elegant!"

Although the other guests may not be as knowledgeable as the two celebrities, their love for it is no less.

Someone who was seated far away couldn't help but get up and move closer to the front, causing the guests originally sitting in the front to also stand up.

Otherwise, they won't be able to see it...

It has to be said, the flower exhibition has only just begun and the guests are already getting competitive.

Someone even shouted, “Mr. Li, how much is this pot of golden tea flower”

Li Lao'er chuckled and waved his hand, replying, "Dear guest, please don't be impatient. There are even better flowers behind. Perhaps you'll like them more as you continue to look!"

Having said that, he stepped aside to let the guests admire it freely until after a quarter of an hour, when Xiao Cao came forward and presented the golden camellia in the main hall.

The living room was empty, no fear of being trampled.

Next, Lao Caotou brought out another pot of flowers from the east garden. It was still tea flowers, but they surprised everyone even more!

"Chang'e of the Two Peaches!"

"Oh, really But I prefer calling it Big Five Colors!"

"Where did you find Master Bo I last saw him in the Imperial Garden! I heard that when the capital moved, he accidentally broke, and I was heartbroken for a long time. I didn't expect to see him here again!"

"How much does this flower cost Master, you must save it for me! My eldest son is getting married, and these twin flowers are so auspicious!"

"No, no, you must keep it for me! My little girl is getting married, and this flower would be perfect to include in her dowry!"

Before people could even appreciate it properly, they started scrambling for it.

Later, it was still Old Master Liu who stepped forward to mediate and said, "Everyone, let's just enjoy the flowers for now. We can discuss who gets them later. Such a grand occasion is rare, even if it becomes a famous story in history, it would be worth it!"

He was the oldest, a local magnate, and also held the title of Bachelor. Naturally, his prestige was extremely high.

Although everyone was eager, they still showed some respect. They all laughed and bowed their hands in greeting.

Two dignitaries began to comment and critique each other, and when they were particularly pleased, everyone recited a few poems, making the scene even more lively.

Following this, other famous brands made their appearances one after another.

The Emei Strings and Junhe in Jianlan, the Golden Phoenix and Huangtianzan in the chrysanthemums… there's even a pot of golden lotus!

The lotus flower emerges from the ground, living up to its name. It resembles the golden lotus beneath the Buddha's seat, with a dazzling array of colors, exuding an air of nobility and elegance.

Because the petals are stacked layer by layer, it is also called a thousand-petal lotus flower. From afar, it looks like a Buddha's torch, giving people a sense of sanctity and awe.

This flower, because it is affected by the environment, can only be seen in the far west and far south.

It is said that anyone who sees this flower will be blessed by the Buddha, with a prosperous family business and good health.

People have only heard about it in travelogues or seen it in picture books at most. Unexpectedly, they could actually see it with their own eyes today!

At this moment, some Buddhist spectators have already begun chanting sutras.

Even those who did not believe in Buddha wore solemn expressions, refraining from laughter or conversation for fear of being disrespectful.

Even asking about the price became, "How much should Jinlian bring home to give as alms"

Li Lao'er had originally planned to have two peony plants as the finale, specially chosen by his niece and placed in the car. They were sure to amaze everyone.

Unexpectedly, this pot of Golden Lotus has stolen the spotlight!

At first, Jia Yi and his companions in Quanzhou met a merchant from the southwest. He had a strong accent. Because Jia Yi helped him with a small favor, the merchant gave him two very large and strange seeds.

Jia Yi didn't understand what it was, so he treated it as a small toy and brought it back for his younger sister to play with.

As a result, Fu Niu'er didn't know how she grew them, but two seeds actually grew into two plants of golden lotus. After they branched out, she repotted them... Two became four, and four became eight. To this day, there are still seven other pots in the East Garden!

Now it seems like those seven pots can't just be taken out casually.

Rare things are valuable. This single pot was enough to make the entire garden stand out at the flower exhibition, making it unexpectedly popular.

Inside the main house and the west room, Jia Yin sat with her grandmother and mother by the window. Through the open windowpanes, they watched the lively scene in the courtyard.

At this moment, Jia Yin was truly putting forth every effort to restrain herself, only just managing to hold back a deep breath.

Besides, she herself didn't think much of this lotus!

There were at least seventeen or eighteen pots in the space, and even three that had previously mistaken this thing for a yellow turnip, taking a bite and finding the taste unpalatable. They never ate it again.

It's just as well, otherwise she might cry blood from heartbreak.

Although no one has bid yet, even a fool can see that this flower will definitely sell for an astronomical price!

"As expected, someone immediately cried out, "My elderly mother has always believed in Buddha. I must take this blooming golden lotus back home! Please, Master Li, just name your price!"

Some people were unwilling to back down and immediately scrambled to compete: "Me too! I must bring the Earth-Burgeoning Golden Lotus back, no matter what Li Boge asks for, I'll add another 10%."

For a moment, everyone started quarreling, all wanting to take the golden lotus back with them. Even Old Master Liu was eager to get his hands on it.

His old friend's mother is still alive, eighty years old, has believed in Buddhism her whole life, and she's about to celebrate her birthday. If he could give her a golden lotus as a birthday gift, it would be perfect!

It's a pity there's only this one...

He sighed inwardly, but when he turned his head to see Li Lao Er, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The Li family acts cautiously and always has a backup plan for everything.

There might be a second one growing here...eals! Now that life is easier, of course we can afford to be generous.""Li Shini said, 'When doing things, be more generous and don't be petty. Let's all get along well, then our lives will be better,...
