Chapter 1983: Miserable Fiancée vs Noble Family’s Daughter (Part 18)
The servant was stunned by the words and said tremblingly, "This is... the rose plant that Third Miss bought a few days ago..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man in the purple robe had already bent down.
He bent over, casually picked a pink rose flower, placed it near his nose and sniffed it gently, revealing a faint smile on his face.
Li Jun, who was following behind him, found it strange.
This Young Master Qi’s identity is quite remarkable, and his visit to the Li Family is indeed unexpected. Due to his appropriate age, he was assigned by the elders in his family to accompany him.
Two days have passed, and although this man has displayed perfect manners and etiquette, there has not been the slightest hint of familiarity with the Li Family in his words and actions.
Speaking of which, it was just now, for the first time, that Li Jun saw this Young Master Qi smile.
He curiously looked at that rose flower. Other than its greener leaves and larger blossoms, there didn’t seem to be anything unusual about it.
However, the man in the purple robe held the flower with one hand and looked towards the back.
Behind were two more servants, each holding a pot of roses.
Judging by their appearance, they were all from the same place as those in the front.
He stepped over and took a look at each one, indeed.
There was a certain feeling, all these three pots of flowers seemed to have an especially comforting quality.
He asked the servant who spoke earlier, "Can you find that flower seller again?"
The servant respectfully shook his head, "It was just a chance encounter while strolling; later, Third Miss became very fond of the three pots of flowers and ordered me to go to the market to see if I could find more, but I never saw that flower seller again."
The man in the purple robe known as Young Master Qi furrowed his brows upon hearing this.
Li Jun finally found an opportunity to speak.
He asked, "Young Master Qi, is there something special about this flower?"
The man in the purple robe glanced at him and said, "I liked it the moment I saw it, perhaps it’s a natural affinity."
Li Jun: "..."
If he believed that line, he must have something wrong with his head!
But he didn’t dare to say it out loud, nor did he dare to show that he was still puzzled.
At this moment, suddenly, another servant in blue clothes came in through the side door.
The man in the purple robe’s gaze was instantly drawn over.
The reason was none other than the fact that the blue-clothed servant was holding an exquisitely crafted white flower pot, inside which was a blooming Eighteen Scholars camellia.
Although Li Jun was not fond of flowers, he had heard a bit about the Eighteen Scholars camellia renowned for its quality.
Moreover, the quality of this Eighteen Scholars plant was definitely of the excellent grade.
He asked in amazement, "Did the Old Madam go to buy camellias again?"
The fondness of the Li Family’s Old Madam for camellias is known to many in Cloud County.
The blue-clothed servant greeted the two with a bow before saying, "No, just now a merchant came to the door saying he wanted to present this pot of flowers to the Old Madam. Seeing that this flower was unusual, I accepted it, preparing to present it to the Old Madam so she could have a look."
The man in the purple robe was pleased upon hearing this and said, "Bring that man to see me."
The blue-clothed servant hesitated and glanced at Li Jun.
Li Jun quickly said, "Didn’t you hear what Young Master Qi said? Hurry and invite that man over here."
As he spoke, he carefully motioned to the people behind him to take the camellia gingerly.
"Young Master Qi, why don’t we sit in the tea pavilion over there for a while?" he suggested.
