Zhuo Qing really wanted to say, "Young master, are you bragging?"

But soon he thought of something. Even if Ji Liao wanted to brag, he would not brag about him. After all, the difference in status between the two was too big.

So what Ji Liao said was the truth. With his smart mind, he couldn't think of any way to do what Ji Liao said. In addition to threats such as coercion and poisoning, Ji Liao had other means.

But he felt that people like Ji Liao could not use such means, even if they had known each other for a while.

And if Ji Liao does this, it will be a little disgusting.

Zhuo Qing looked at the young master Zhuo Shijia with a perfect appearance and upbringing, and he really couldn't connect him with the despicable villain.

Next, Ji Liao had a clean meal, and at the same time, he terminated the contract with Zhuo Qing and Zuixiang Pavilion and made a contract with Zhuo Qing. From then on, Zhuo Qing was Ji Liao's follower, and his freedom was restricted, and he was also closer to his goal of making a name for himself.

After Ji Liao finished all this, he wanted to guess what Jingzhe would feel when he knew it. In a moment, he felt that he was too bored again, and then he thought that there was still a whole day before the secret meeting of the twenty-four solar terms. It was rare to leave the villa, so he should do something else while he was free. Then he remembered that he told Xiaoqin that he had to pick a birthday gift for Jishan.

…………

Zhuo Qing had already followed Ji Liao to visit six shops in the south of the city. The various potted plants were so dazzling that he could not imagine. It can be said that he had never thought that those ordinary flowers and trees would have a look after careful cultivation and cutting.

There were several gorgeous pots of potted plants that made him very moved, but Ji Liao looked down on them at all.

No, what Zhuo Qing thought of was that the young master clearly couldn't see it.

He thought it was because the young master couldn't see it, so he didn't choose a pot of potted plants. When he followed the young master, he should be the young master's eyes and remind him which potted plants are exquisite and beautiful.

But to be honest, with Zhuo Qing's ability to appreciate potted plants, he felt that the potted plants in these flower shops were very beautiful. Therefore, he thought that his choice was no different from the young master's choice. Thinking of this, Zhuo Qing simply chose to keep his mouth shut.

Ji Liao finally stopped in front of a green pine bonsai.

Seeing this, Zhuo Qing couldn't help but secretly praise him.

I saw the green pine straight, with branches and leaves piled up like clouds, with a total of nine levels, like the ninth level of heaven. Even if it was manually pruned, it would be extremely rare.

"Is my little brother also interested in this Nine Heaven?" An old voice came.

Zhuo Qing looked over and saw an old man wearing a blue silk shirt. He looked like he was well-read in poetry and books.

Ji Liao smiled at the old man and said, "It turns out that this bonsai is called the Nine Heavens, which is just right."

After hearing Ji Liao's words, Zhuo Qing couldn't help but admire his young master. He could not see it, but responded so calmly. If he hadn't known the truth, he would have thought that the young master had carefully looked at the bonsai.

Seeing Ji Liao's polite appearance, the old man felt a good impression and said, "I'm also interested in bonsai?"

Ji Liao shook his head and said, "I'm going to buy a bonsai and give it to my father."

After hearing this, the old man felt regretful and thought to himself: It is true. Bonsai is one of his favorites, but not many people who like bonsai on weekdays. Most of the wealthy families plant bonsai to suit the scenery, rather than really like it. Now when they see this polite young man, they can't help but ask this question. As expected, the other party is not particularly interested in bonsai.

The old man said, "Do you have a crush on this ninth level of heaven now?"

Ji Liao nodded and said, "I think this bonsai is not bad. Could it be that the old man is interested in it? If so, I can go and find something else."

The old man knew that there was something wrong with this bonsai. He saw that Ji Liao was not a fellow man and didn't want to say anything more, but Ji Liao respected the elderly so much, and he couldn't bear it after all. He said in a vague way: "This ninth level of heaven is not easy to support, so you might as well look at something else."

Ji Liao smiled and said, "Thank you, the old man, but the gardeners in my family are useful and should be able to support you."

The store owner had already come over and said, "Young Master, you have good eyesight. This Nine Heavens is the treasure of our store. As long as you buy it, we will inform you of the maintenance method. There will be no inability to maintain it."

Ji Liao nodded and said, "Then I'll be working hard, how much is it?"

The shop owner said: "Five hundred taels of silver are free from deception." When he spoke, he glanced at the old man, meaning to ask him not to talk too much.

The old man was even more angry when he was staring at him and said, "What a bad-hearted shop. The nine-level heaven roots are rotten, and you have to collect 500 taels of silver from them."

The store owner didn't know that the old man was so straightforward and told the secret of the Nine Heavens directly. He hurriedly said, "Sir, we have no grudges in the past and no grudges in the past. You can't talk nonsense and smash my signs.

The old man said, "Then do you dare to make a note with me? I will pay 500 taels of silver to buy the bonsai, and then we will dig the soil in the pot in front of us. If the roots inside are rotten, not only will you pay me the money, but I will also send you to jail."

The store owner knew that there was a ghost in the Nine Heavens Bonsai, of course he refused to respond and said, "The rule of this store is that the goods have been sold and will not be returned."

The old man said, "If you didn't have a ghost in your heart, why wouldn't you dare do what I said?"

Seeing that the old man was forced to do something, the store owner knew that Ji Liao was not a fool, and could see the problem of bonsai. He would not buy it anymore, so he begged for mercy and said, "Old sir, you are also an expert. I once paid 3,000 taels in the Ninth Heaven, but I would not sell it. I priced at 500 taels. If this young man bought it with a cheap price, it would be that he was not good at it. If he found something strange, I would not have advised him. Besides, I have been raising it for ten years and served it like my ancestors, and then I grew up like this today. Could it be worth 500 taels." He was doing business with kindness. Even if Ji Liao didn't buy it, I still hope not to hate the other party. Otherwise, if the thing was not sold and he would lose his reputation, it would be even more worthy.

The old man couldn't help but feel silent. What the store said was indeed reasonable. Usually, the Nine Heavens really deserved the price of 3,000 taels. If an official wanted to buy it and give it to Shangguan, it would be worth 5,000 taels. The Nine Heavens were carefully cultivated into their current appearance, and the hard work was indeed worth more than 500 taels.

Ji Liao suddenly spoke, "Let me do this, I will pay a hundred taels, you can sell it to me."

The old man explained clearly when he saw that Ji Liao was still obsessed with it and said, "You little brother, don't you sympathize with him, you don't need it." Even though the store owner has worked hard, there is no risk in doing business. In his opinion, Ji Liao has no need to sympathize with the store owner.

Ji Liao said: "Thank you, the old man, for reminding me, I can't hide it. I actually know that the roots of this bonsai are rotten, but I have a way to bring it back to life, so I am willing to pay for it."

He said to the shop again: "If I hadn't been able to save it, it would be worth a hundred bucks as the old man said. Now you have two choices, either sell it to me now, or wait for it to die in two days."

After Ji Liao finished speaking, his dark eyes were calmly looking at the store owner without any fluctuations.

The store owner felt a lot of pressure and hesitated for a while before saying, "Young Master, if you really have the means to rejuvenate the plants, I am willing to give them to you for free, but..."

Ji Liao said: "You want to ask me how to save it? It's not that I want to hide it, but that others can't do this method except me."
