Luo Pei Shan frankly sighed at Jing Wan's intelligence. Yet, in his mind, he thought of even more. He even joking said, perhaps Jing Wan was a flower fairy in her past life, that's why she was this gifted at raising plants and flowers.

"Grandfather, how about let someone bring it over for you to see right now?" Jing Wan could see his pressing thoughts.

Luo Pei Shan somewhat hesitated, "You just raised them back, to move them like this, what happens if they get injured?"

"How are they that delicate, they were fine coming all the way from Qi'an Fu to the capital. How about just bring the eighteenth scholar? Plus the ink orchid?"

Luo Pei Shan was truly unbearably itchy inside, and thus nodded in agreement.

As a result, the servant boys, as well as Jing Wan's servant girls, were ordered to go back, and naturally, the remaining Record of Flowers can't be forgotten.

While waiting, Luo Pei Shan was rather restless. Even facing major matters of the court, he was never this impatient.

Luo Jing De and his brothers stood watch outside the door, "It's here, it's here..."

Luo Pei Shan shot up and hastily walked towards the door. Soon after, like as if shielding something, he let the people carry the flowers in. The ink orchid he'd already seen before, even though it bloomed into its most beautiful state, its allure wasn't as big as the eighteenth scholar's at the moment.

This eighteenth scholar's size wasn't very big, but wasn't small either, about as tall as a person. Because it was managed well, it appeared verdant and lush, with both big and small budding flower buds. On some buds, the flower petals could already be seen. "It's a white eighteenth scholar." Luo Pei Shan carefully wanted to touch it, yet also didn't dare to. Looking to appear delicate and fragile, as if it would break with a touch. To see him like this, the others naturally didn't dare to touch either. They were positive, if they were to touch, they would definitely get whipped.

As the only girl in the room, Jing Wan reached out and caressed it. "Grandfather doesn't need to be this cautious." But these words didn't really have any affect. She had seen a lot, raised a lot, so she simply didn't understand the mentality of these people like her grandfather.

Jing Wan was helpless. Most people weren't able to raise these valuable breeds well. Aside from the problem of technique, it was more so because they just cared too much. Because they were overly careful, it instead produced the opposite affect. Just like with people, the more meticulously they were raised, the more carefully they were held, if not looking delicate, then they were raised into crooked saplings. There weren't many that were able to grow up healthy and strong. When she was in Qi'an Fu, she'd also told those gardeners too, but they still weren't able to relax their hands. Because it was valuable, if damaged, even if they put their entire family's life on the line, they wouldn't be able to compensate it, that's why they were careful. It was practically a vicious cycle.

Thereafter, Luo Pei Shan placed everything aside and just circled around these two pots of flowers. And those who weren't that fond of them took the chance while their father, grandfather, was distracted to go flip through the Record of Flowers to the side. More or less, they all could learn a few moves and could even memorize some plants and flowers that they've never seen before. Even if they themselves didn't grow them, it wasn't bad to bring it out to show off with either.

Luo Old Madam waited right and left, but still didn't see Luo Old Master come, not seeing her sons and grandsons come pay their respects either. Seeing how the evening meal time was about to pass, she sent someone to the front study to see, and only then did she learn the cause. Luo Old Madam didn't say much, and just had someone send the meal all to the front courtyard. This time, Wan Wan, in the Luo family, was a treasure, even if not a treasure. Afraid, the old master will probably pamper her even more than herself.
