The Hua Shi made a sound, and the bustling garden became quiet.
Zhulan smiled, "The tea is here, and Chen Yiren will know after tasting it."
Liu Ya got a hint from the mistress and went down to serve the brewed tea.
The tea cups were delivered to each table, and Mrs. Hua knew that it was good tea when she smelled it. She couldn't suppress Mrs. Yang today. Wouldn't their husband and wife be suppressed by the Zhou family? Hua Shi took a sip and his heart sank. Isn't the Zhou family from Gengshu? Why is there a top-notch tea, she can't find trouble if she is unwilling, she wants to suppress the Yang family, but she is making trouble for the master, with a sullen face, "Not bad."
Zhulan smiled deeply, "It seems that Hua Yiren has drunk better tea, and the tea rewarded by the emperor is only good!"
She understands why the Hua family finds fault, the issue of position, but it does not mean that she is good-tempered. Hua's hand trembled and she took a deep breath. This time, she didn't dare to underestimate Yang's. If Yang's tea was mentioned from the beginning, she would not find fault, but Yang didn't. , and waited for her to take action, but she didn't take it too slowly. She had a deep scheming. Thinking of her husband's evaluation of Lord Zhou, these two couples were both beehives and hearts.
Miao squinted her eyes, it was really wonderful, she felt that she could be with the muddy, "this time we borrowed the light from my sister-in-law, we can drink top-quality tea, thank you sister-in-law here."
Zhu Lan paused for a moment, the verdict in the mouths of this Miao and Zhou Shuren is really similar, they are both the masters of the muddy, "This time not only tea, but I also bought flowers, and we chatted while arranging flowers."
Having said that, Liu Ya and others have come up with flowers and various vases.
Zhu Lan smiled and said, "I have always used porcelain vases in a monotonous manner. I have specially polished wooden jars and bamboo baskets so that you can choose your favorite flower arrangement." Miao's eyes lit up, she liked the shape of the wooden bottle, " Sister-in-law's mind is really clever, but it's not interesting for us to arrange flowers, it's better to let our daughters compare, we will judge, and we will win the lottery."
This time, they all brought their daughters here. The oldest one is thirteen years old, and the youngest is eight years old. This is because he knows Xuehan and brought people who are about the same age.
Hua Shi has slowed down and said with a smile: "This is a good idea."
Zhulan also had nothing to refute, "Okay, so this is a tea banquet hosted by me, and I will be the winner."
With that said, Zhu Lan said to Liu Ya, "There is a new set of head masks on the third floor of the cabinet, you can bring them here."
This set of heads is the dowry that Zhulan prepared for Xuehan. It was newly made in the capital. The head is inlaid with red gems. It has a good festive meaning. I don't need to keep a low profile this time. Although it is bleeding, Zhulan also just took this opportunity. It makes people dare not look down on the Zhou family.
Come on, the ladies are all waiting to see their faces.
In the front yard, Zhou Shuren has just started tasting tea.
Chen Chen took a sip of the tea and lost his thoughts. At the same time, he wondered why Lord Zhou had this tea as a tribute. He also thought about pressing Lord Zhou at the tea ceremony, "Good tea."
Zhou Shuren smiled, "The emperor rewarded me, but I feel guilty!"
Chen Chen swallowed the tea in his mouth, and had a deeper understanding of how much the emperor valued Lord Zhou. When he thought that he had never seen the shadow of the emperor, he had to go all the way up, it was sour, "Master Zhou stabilized the city of Lizhou. , where does the guilt come from?"
Zhou Shuren liked to answer, "I'm worried about next year's Tongsheng test and hometown test, hey, I'm ashamed of the emperor!"
Chen Chen was silent, it was indeed a matter of worry, "Hey!"
Zhou Shuren said again: "However, if I have a solution, I will see if a few adults support it."
It was judged that He Jun was still convinced of Lord Zhou, and Lord Zhou's method was useful to Lizhou City, "Sir, please tell me, as long as we can help, we will definitely help."
Zhou Shuren looked at Chen Chen. Lord Chen didn't know why he had a bad premonition, but everyone seemed to agree and endure the panic, "Sir, please speak."
Zhou Shuren curled his lips, "I decided to hire..."
Zhou Shuren repeated what he said to Zhulan yesterday, and after he finished speaking, Zhou Shuren paused and said, "I came from a farming family, and I don't have many books in my family. I'm not like Mr. Chen who often tells me what books I've read. , I'm ashamed to say that Zhou Mou has never read many of them, but Zhou Mou also has two rare books. Although they are not the only ones, they are worth some money. Zhou Mou took them out. Hey, who made Zhou Mou not have Chen's family. There are so many books, I am ashamed and ashamed.”
He Jun, "..."
He said that Lord Zhou didn't look like a good-natured person, so why did he endure Lord Chen, so he was waiting here!
Chen Chen, "......"
He regrets showing off, and I don't know if there is any regret medicine!
Zhou Shuren took a sip of tea and said, "The tea emperor's kindness from the emperor is magnificent!"
Chen Chen, "..."
Telling him, Chen Chen took a deep breath, "I'll take out three copies."
Zhou Shuren touched the teacup, "I count how many books I haven't read, Master Chen said these days. It seems to be seven, or so."
Chen Chen hurriedly interrupted, "Five books, Lord Zhou, I will publish five books."
Zhou Shuren didn't want to go too far Although he clearly remembered that it was eight, "That's because I remembered it wrong, five, five."
Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was bleeding. When he copied too much, even the value of the treasures in his hands would lose some value, and his heart ached.
When He Jun saw Lord Zhou looking at him, he jumped, "I don't have many books in my family, but my wife has two books for her dowry, and I have three books."
Zhou Shuren was very satisfied, and He Jun came from a family like him.
The other adults were swearing in their hearts, and some were speechless, but they all drank the tea that the emperor rewarded, and they really couldn't come up with a book and decided to donate money.
After Chen Chen heard that he could donate money, his heart was not bleeding, he was about to drain!
In the garden, Liu Ya has come back with a head and face, and this head-face bamboo orchid cost fifty taels!
Zhulan smiled, "I asked a famous master in the capital to play it, and I will use it as a lucky draw today."
Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Miao looked at each other. Their eyes were high and they knew that this face was not cheap. They winked at their daughters, they must win.
Especially Hua Shi, he must win in order to ease the suffocation in his heart.
Zhulan chose a bamboo basket and flowers and came back to sit. She didn't put any pressure on her daughter. Anyway, the other little girls didn't learn it. The mother taught her daughter the flower arrangement in this dynasty. Chaos is just a game between girls. If it wasn't for the sake of saving money and doing it decently, Zhulan wouldn't have thought of this idea.
Time passed quickly, the little girls were all plugged in, it was very simple, how to look good and how to do it.
For the sake of fairness, the little girls' works have no names, and they sit separately from the adults. Zhu Lan and the others took a pen and wrote down what they were optimistic about, and the one with the most votes won. The rules are simple and the results come out quickly.
The final votes were in Zhulan's hands. Zhulan raised her eyebrows and looked at the list, surprised.
