Chapter 363 New Year's Orange
Everyone was having a good meal and a few drinks, and was chatting happily.
At this time, Yuyu came to the crowd like a happy little deer, and said with sparkling eyes: "Pull the cart over here first."
Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment, then reacted and laughed, "I was wondering why you asked us to bring a cart. It turns out you have something to load!"
With that, he stood up swiftly and ran to pull the cart. Others followed him, curiously guessing what would be loaded on the cart.
After a while, several carts were pulled to the middle of the yard.
Yu Yu blinked mysteriously, then turned and ran towards the utility room.
When she appeared again, everyone's eyes lit up. They saw her pushing a pot of oranges, surrounded by a circle of flowers.
"Wow!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.
Yuyu smiled and said, "Here are the goodies I want to give you. Each of you will get a pot of oranges. You can also take these flowers around with you. You can put them at home during the New Year. They will look beautiful and festive!"
Everyone gathered around and admired the carefully matched pot of oranges and flowers, their faces filled with surprise and emotion.
When everyone heard this, they immediately rubbed their hands and rushed into the storage room.
Cheng Chumo took the lead, steadily lifting a pot of New Year's oranges with both hands, muttering, "This pot looks really lively. If I move it back and put it in my house, it will definitely add to the New Year's atmosphere."
He carefully moved the oranges onto the cart, moving them very lightly, as if he was holding not a pot of plants but a rare treasure.
Qin Huaidao was not to be outdone. He picked a pot and although it was a bit strenuous, he gritted his teeth and persevered, walking steadily towards the cart step by step.
Wei Shuyu and Li Deyu worked in perfect harmony. One of them moved the oranges, and the other took the surrounding flowers. They were also discussing where to put the pot of flowers at home when they got home.
Fang Yiai picked up a pot of flowers and accidentally tripped over a branch, almost falling down, which caused everyone to laugh.
"You guy, be careful, don't break these beautiful flowers." Li Hao joked from the side.
Everyone went back and forth between the storage room and the cart. Soon, fifteen pots of oranges and the surrounding flowers were neatly placed on the cart.
Looking at the fully loaded cart, everyone's faces were filled with satisfied smiles, as if they had felt the festive atmosphere of the New Year in advance.
Xiaoyu looked at the cart filled with oranges and flowers, smiled, and began to distribute them in an orderly manner: "Your Highness, these ten pots of oranges will be taken back by Your Highness. May Your Highness have everything go smoothly and be blessed with good fortune in the new year."
As she spoke, she signaled the servant to carefully carry ten pots of oranges onto the prince's exclusive carriage.
After arranging the portion for the Crown Prince, Xiaoyu looked at Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaidao, Wei Shuyu, Fang Yiai, and Li Deyu, and said gently, "You gentlemen, you usually play well with Yuyu, and each of you will get a pot. I hope you will achieve success in the new year and be safe and happy."
Cheng Chumo scratched his head and grinned, "Thank you, Madam. I've been looking forward to bringing one back home. It will definitely look nice when displayed at home."
Qin Huaidao bowed and said politely, "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. These oranges and flowers are truly a rare gift."
Wei Shuyu, Fang Yiai and Li Deyu also expressed their gratitude, their eyes full of joy.
Afterwards, the five people each picked a pot of their favorite New Year's oranges and carefully placed them on their own carts, as if this pot of New Year's oranges carried full blessings and expectations.
Li Hao smiled and looked at everyone, then asked, "What do you think of Nianju these years?"
The Crown Prince gently stroked the emerald green leaves of the New Year tangerines, his eyes full of admiration: "This New Year tangerine has strong branches and plump fruits. The flowers that match it complement each other very well. It is truly a rare and exquisite product. Placing it in the East Palace will definitely add a lot of festive atmosphere."
Cheng Chumo grinned and said with a simple smile, "I just think these oranges look festive. Just looking at them makes me happy. Putting them at home will definitely make the house lively."
Qin Huaidao nodded in agreement: "Indeed, this year's oranges not only have a beautiful meaning, but are also of excellent quality. Whether you enjoy them by yourself or share them with your family, it is a beautiful thing."
Wei Shuyu politely replied, "The combination of oranges and flowers is both vibrant and elegant. It's truly ingenious, and you can see the care put into the preparation."
Fang Yiai smiled carelessly and said, "Anyway, I think it's really beautiful. I'll take it back and show it to my family. They're sure to like it too."
Li Deyu gently waved his folding fan and said with a smile, "This year, the oranges and flowers complement each other, the bright colors add a touch of warmth to this winter, which is really lovely."
When Yuyu heard everyone's praise, she raised her chin with a proud look on her face and said, "I was right, wasn't I? There are better oranges than those in the back mountain."
Cheng Chumo came over with a curious look on his face: "Yuyu, are the oranges in the back mountain different from this year's oranges?"
Yuyu blinked and said mysteriously, "The oranges from the back mountain are edible. They're big, juicy, and sweet. But this year's oranges are mainly for viewing. While they're edible, they're sour and astringent. Compared to the oranges from the back mountain, they have different uses."
Qin Huaidao suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. No wonder these New Year oranges look so exquisite. It turns out they are specially used to add to the New Year atmosphere."
Wei Shuyu nodded and praised: "Yuyu is very thoughtful. With these oranges placed at home, the festive atmosphere of the New Year has suddenly become stronger."
Fang Yiai patted his head and said, "I was thinking of taking it back to try. Now that you say that, I'd better put it on display as a decoration."
The prince looked at the ten pots of oranges, then at the only cart, frowned slightly, and said, "Only one cart was brought here, it seems not enough."
Immediately, he turned sideways and whispered to the secret guard beside him: "Return to the palace quickly, call a few more people, and bring a few carts."
The secret guard received the order and disappeared from everyone's sight like a ghost.
Cheng Chumo scratched his head and jokingly said, "Your Highness, it seems that you want to bring the joy of the New Year's oranges back to the palace."
The prince smiled slightly and said, "The oranges are so pleasing these days. Naturally, I should bring more back so that everyone in the palace can feel the joy of the New Year."
While waiting, everyone continued to chat.
Soon, a sound of orderly footsteps was heard in the distance, and several guards were seen hurriedly coming, pushing several carts.
The prince ordered, "Load these oranges carefully onto the truck and make sure they are arranged neatly."
The guards immediately took action, carefully moving the pots of oranges onto the cart and arranging them neatly.
When everything was ready, the prince said to Yuyu's family, "Thank you for your hospitality today and for this unique gift. I will definitely return the favor someday."
Yuyu smiled and waved her hand: "Your Highness, you're welcome. As long as you like it, it's fine."
After the prince's New Year oranges were loaded onto the truck, everyone had not yet started their journey home.
At this time, Xiaoyu smiled and said, "It's a rare opportunity for everyone to come here. The oranges on the hill in the backyard are ripe. You can pick some and take them back to try. They are home-grown, so they are green and fresh."
When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested.
Yuyu jumped and led the way: "Let's go, the oranges in the back mountain are so sweet!"
When I came to the foot of the mountain in the backyard, I saw lush orange trees all over the mountain. Yellow oranges hung on the branches, sparkling with an attractive luster under the sunlight.
