Chapter 105, limited knowledge
On the day he returned from the flower shop, Daohua received three pots of peonies, narcissus, and orchids sent by Zhou Jingwan. When they arrived, the Yan family happened to be there.
"Why does Miss Zhou Jia think about giving you flowers?"
Yan Zhiyuan was the first to ask.
Others are also very curious. Although the big family home in Xingzhou City has paid more attention to the Yan family since the little prince stayed at their home for one night, this is also limited to ordinary contacts, and no one has shown any intention. Get close.
The same is true for Zhou's family. Except for the exchange of gifts during the holidays, there has never been such an initiative to give things like today.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Daohua smiled and said, "When I was in the shop today, I happened to meet Grandpa Zhou and Jingwan Zhou. We chatted for a while. When they left, I gave them some pots of flowers. This should be them. In return."
Hearing this, Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li glanced at each other quickly.
The old lady of Zhou's family is a famous flower lover. People in Xingzhou City know this, and they have also understood this after they came.
The three pots of flowers in front of me are all rare flower species and are of great value. I know that they have been carefully cultivated at first glance. Miss Zhou's flowers are given, I am afraid that it has been ordered by Mrs. Zhou.
Yan Zhigao looked at the eldest daughter who was pulling the old lady to look at the flowers with a smile, and sighed in her heart that this daughter's luck was really good, and she was able to enter the eyes of the old grandfather Zhou.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to get these three potted flowers.
"I heard that the emperor gave him a lot of famous flowers when he was paying his official duties, and he brought them all back to his hometown." He knew that many people in Xingzhou City were thinking about the flowers raised by the old man, and they all thought about it. It's a pity that there are very few people who have survived.
Upon hearing this, Daohua's sight immediately moved away from the flower, and said in amazement: "Really? Will these three pots?"
"What do you want?" Mrs. Li smiled and shook her head, "The emperor's gift, no one can be used as a treasure for the emperor. It is estimated that your three pots were cultivated by Mrs. Zhou himself."
Daohua rolled her eyes and smiled: "Maybe it was grafted with a flower gifted by the emperor."
Ms. Li thought for a while, and asked Daohua: "Peony, narcissus, and orchid are all famous flowers. Do you want to give Miss Zhou Jia back some more gifts?"
Daohua tilted her head: "Do you need it?" The flowers she sent today may not be as expensive as the Zhou family, but there are a lot of them. The five pots that Zhou Jingwan liked, and the three pots chosen by the grandfather Zhou, she gave them all.
"Of course I want it!"
Yan Zhiyuan snatched up before Mrs. Li and said, "The three potted flowers from Zhou's family are famous flowers. They are not comparable to the unnamed flowers you just plant. One pot can match the dozen or so pots in your store. ."
Hearing this, Inaka was a little unhappy.
Yes, the flowers she grows are not as famous as peonies and orchids, but they are of good quality. Didn't you see how old Mrs. Zhou can't put it down?
Yan Zhiyuan continued: "Besides, people have taken the initiative to give things. You can send back some of the past, and you can deepen the relationship with Miss Zhou." Thus, the Yan family and the Zhou family are closer.
Daohua looked at the cheap father, and saw that he had no objection, then looked at Mrs. Li: "What do you think I should send back?"
Ms. Li smiled and said: "This is the relationship between your little girls. We adults will not participate. You can give it anything you want."
At this time, Yan Zhiyuan said again: "I don’t want to give it away. I think it’s not bad after drinking it, Mr. Zhou."
Mrs. Li stood up suddenly, interrupted Yan Zhiyuan’s words, walked towards the old lady with a smile, and said to Daohua, “Go and prepare by yourself. The meal is about to start. Come back soon.”
As I said, adults shouldn’t participate in the communication between the little girls. The second brother is used to specializing in research and she understands that she wants to deepen the relationship with the Zhou family.
Daohua didn't like others to teach her to do things, smiled and agreed, and then took Wang Man'er out of the room.
"Miss, shall we give the wine that the second master said?" Wang Man'er asked on the way.
Daohua shook her head. Although the wine is only fruit wine, she brought a word of wine. She and Zhou Jingwan are not so familiar with each other. She rushed to give a little girl wine, which didn't feel too solemn;
Moreover, wine is rare on the market, and the rare thing is precious. In the case that she has already given the Zhou family ten pots of flowers, it would be too much to give too expensive things.
"I made a few more boxes of rouge and moisturizer not long ago, just give it away!"
Zhou Jingwan’s skin is not very good. The moisturizer and rouge she makes are made of flowers and medicinal materials planted in the space used. The skin care and makeup effects are very good, which is more practical for her.
Soon, Daohua handed the gift back to Zhou's servants, and then took Wang Man'er back to the old lady's house.
After learning about the things she gave, Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li didn’t say anything, but Yan Zhiyuan curled his lips: “A few boxes of rouge. Rice flowers, it’s not your second uncle who said you, you are too petty.”
It’s not Mrs. Li this time, but the old lady Yan interrupted Yan Zhiyuan: “What precious things do I need to give to the little girls?”
Yan Zhiyuan: "Mother, big brother, am I afraid that Daohua will stiff the relationship with Miss Zhou?"
The old lady Yan looked at her granddaughter whose mouth was already pouting high, and stood up: "Okay, about the little girl, you guys don't join in and eat."
"Mother, eldest brother, I know I don’t speak well, but I really do it for our Yan family. Our family has a weak foundation. If we can make a good relationship with Zhou’s family, my eldest brother will not be isolated and helpless in the officialdom in the future."
Daohua walked behind, looking disapprovingly at the second uncle who was still explaining to the old lady and cheap dad, a little sneered in her heart.
The person in the second room, she really can’t like it.
You say you want to fawn on others, no one is stopping, but you can instruct others to do this and that, that would be very annoying.
"He is your second uncle, an elder, even if you feel uncomfortable, don't show it." Madam Li's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Daohua was surprised, and immediately adjusted her expression: "Mother, I see."
Mrs. Li: “The reputation of a girl’s family is the most important. It’s a big mistake to disrespect the elders.”
Inaba frowned: "Then I have to bear it?"
Mrs. Li glanced at her husband who was talking to Yan Zhiyuan in a low voice: "Isn't there your father? Your father may not be so shrewd about backyard matters, but he is better than anyone else in matters related to family interests. Be nervous."
"Your second uncle is white, with limited knowledge, and he doesn't know it. He blindly pleases high-ranking people. Not only will he not be valued, but he will be despised. The gift you send back is pretty good, and you don't need to listen to him."
Inaba nodded.
Zhou’s family, received a gift from Daohua, Zhou Jingwan liked it very much. Daohua had given her rouge before, and she used it better than the second uncle brought her back from the capital.
She knew that the rouge was made by Daohua herself, because she was not familiar with her relationship, and she was not easy to ask for it. Now Daohua has sent a few more boxes. For the little girl who loves beauty, it is more and more caring than other.
Grandpa Zhou looked at the grinning granddaughter, and smiled at her eldest daughter-in-law: “The eldest girl from the Yan family is still good, and Jingwan can spend more time with her in the future.”
After this, Daohua and Zhou Jingwan had more contacts.
Zhou Jingwan is a bit arrogant, but there is no major flaw in her character, she is also more straightforward and cheerful, and she does not have so many twists and turns in her stomach, and it is easy to get along with.
Daohua is also happy to associate with such a little girl. The two get together from time to time to make the boring back home life more fun.
On the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival, watching Zhou Jingwan who came to deliver the Mid-Autumn Festival gift in person, and then quickly joked with Daohua, Yan Zhigao glanced at Yan Zhiyuan, who looked uncomfortable next to him, and patted him on the shoulder.
The second brother’s heart is toward the Yan family, but some ideas and concepts are really not suitable for communication between high-ranking families. The eldest daughter is very measured, not humble or arrogant, so that it makes people comfortable to get along with each other.
