In order not to be ashamed of the flower arrangement, Zhulan took her daughter to insert a few bottles in the past two days. She clearly remembered that when the girl followed her to learn the flower arrangement, she could only say that it was beautiful, and there was no artistic conception of matching it.
Zhu Lan took a closer look at the vase with the most votes, with a smile in her eyes, this girl took a trick, she matched it according to the shape of the head and the face, and the red flower in the middle was the finishing touch.
Zhulan handed the number of votes and the list to Mrs. Hua, and said, "I won't be able to give away the jackpot today."
One word to know who won the first place. Hua Shi quickly looked at the list and the number of votes, her face was stiff, she thought that the best works were her daughter's work, although she rarely taught her daughter, but she thought that the daughter of an official family had some aesthetics.
Miao's heart is not happy, her daughter is not as good as the little girl from Gengdu.
Xuehan was very pleasantly surprised. She felt that the combination of head and face was very beautiful, which made people's eyes shine. She didn't expect to win, her expectations were really not high, as long as she didn't embarrass her parents. Hua Shi and Miao Shi laughed dryly and said congratulations dryly.
Afterwards, the two wanted to show off their daughters, and they wanted to perform both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but unfortunately, there was no piano and chess in Zhulan's family, so Xuehan didn't worry about writing and painting. Xuehan was very self-disciplined since she was a child. Every day, the big characters have not been broken, and Xuehan's characters have long had their own character.
As for painting, Zhulan likes to paint, and she often pulls her daughter along to paint. The more she paints, the more practice makes perfect, not to mention that Xuehan still has some talent.
Hua Shi and Miao Shi were heartbroken, and decided to go home and teach their daughters in person. Xue Han also became jealous among the officials.
Xuehan was destined to not be friends with the daughters of the two adults. With sixteen dishes at the banquet, one could not pick out a single fault, Hua Shi said dryly: "Zhou Yiren is thoughtful and thoughtful.
Zhulan said politely, "Yes, please take Hua Yiren."
Everyone who eats a meal has their own thoughts. Today, I have seen Zhulan's city, and no one will look down on Zhulan in the future. Not only do they dare not look down on Zhulan, but they are also very polite to the Yang family, and they dare not despise Yang behind their backs. Home is vulgar.
After the banquet was over, Zhu Lan and Zhou Shuren sent everyone away, and when everyone left, the couple got to know each other and laughed.
In the Chen family's car, Mrs. Hua told the situation in the backyard, "Master Zhou's wife's palace is very deep, and I've been angry for a day today."
Chen Chen covered his heart, he was still thinking about how to relieve the pain in his heart from the lady's mouth, and now it's even more painful.
Seeing the master's appearance, Mrs. Hua sighed, "In the future, let's live in peace with the Zhizhou family!"
Chen Chen pursed his lips, "En."
On the He family's carriage, He Jun talked about the front yard, and Miao talked about the wonderful backyard.
After a banquet, everyone knew what kind of person Zhulan was, and some bad rumors about Zhulan were gone.
Zhulan received a lot of invitation posts one after another. Some of the official posts were too small to be invited, and the posts of rank six and above were all collected.
In the following month, Zhulan went to participate in a few days, and completely integrated into the circle of official wives in Lizhou City, and also brought Wu Chun's wife Wu to integrate into it.
Zhulan and the official wife of Lizhou City have been friends for a month. No wife has caught Zhulan's eyes. However, Xuehan has made friends, the daughter of Zheng Hong's Zheng family. I know, the daughter of Zheng Hong's family is one year younger than Xuehan. The sons of the Zheng family are all good at martial arts, and the daughters are all spoiled.
The little girl Zheng Shi, Zheng Hong's eldest daughter, don't look a year younger than Xuehan, because she is the eldest daughter, she is much calmer than Xuehan.
Time passed, and August entered in a blink of an eye. The sky in August was really hot. The only thing that made Zhulan happy was that the watermelons and melons that were planted were about to mature. month.
In Lizhou City, not only the Zhulan family planted watermelons, but the Yang family also planted a lot, and some wealthy families who followed the trend also planted some watermelons. There are quite a few watermelons in Lizhou City.
In the past two months, Zhou Shuren also made full use of his labor. The roads were repaired, the ponds were dug, and the dilapidated houses of some farmers were pushed and rebuilt.
The entire village near Lizhou City has changed a lot. Although the yamen no longer employs people, the high-yield crops of sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes are about to be harvested.
The common people who participated in the employment had more or less some money, and there were more merchants in Lizhou City in the past two months. Not only restaurants but also inns were opened. From time to time, foreign businessmen came to Lizhou City, Zhulan The prices of the shops you bought have also gone up.
Zhou Shuren came home at night and saw Zhulan sitting at the table writing, "What are you writing, so focused?"
Zhulan was so attentive that she was taken aback, and after waiting for a while, she said, "Seeing that the watermelon and melon are about to ripen, I thought of writing some promotional leaflets to let the nearby prefectures know that we have a local city in Lizhou. Late watermelon and melon."
Zhou Shuren took a bite of the watermelon in his hand. All the watermelons eaten at home were bought in Chuanzhou City. Zhou Shuren counted the days, "Is the watermelon in Chuanzhou coming to an end?"
Zhulan nodded, "Chuanzhou was planted with seedlings, and it was planted ten days earlier than us. I asked the boss to take a look. In a few days, there should be no more watermelons to sell."
Zhou Shuren ate the watermelon and washed his hands, "Are our apples about to ripen too?"
Zhu Lan smiled, "We'll have to wait a few more days, around the end of October."
Zhulan personally went to see the orchard, and it was worth paying a lot of money to hire the fruit farmers. The fruit trees were well served, and the fruit was good. Although the ancient varieties were not very big, the fruit was quite a lot. Zhulan I can't help but calculate how much money I can make this year.
Zhou Shuren picked up the slogan written by Zhulan, "Are you going to let people go to publicity near the inns in various states?"
Zhulan nodded, "The foreign merchants are rich, they are all concentrated in the inn, and their news is well-informed. They can't eat so many late watermelons and melons, so they will naturally inform their companions. The news of foreign merchants, the merchants of this dynasty will also Pay attention, it will naturally attract more merchants to Lizhou, as long as you take the merchants to the fields, you can see the orchards, and there will be merchants to buy the fruits before they mature."
In ancient times, the fruits were valuable and the yield was low. Only some people disliked the few fruits, and no one disliked the many ones.
Zhou Shuren smiled, "Your publicity has saved the yamen a lot of trouble."
Zhu Lan smiled, "There are a lot of things going on in the yamen, you should also publicize the plan to build Lizhou City into an apple state in the future, and publicize it so that more people know about attracting more people and fruit merchants. Come."
Zhou Shuren nodded and wanted to speak. Butler Ding knocked on the door and said, "Master, Mistress." Zhou Shuren asked, "What's the matter?"
It's getting dark, no one should be here!
