Two days ago, Shunzi came over and said that Master Cheng wanted to raise some flowers and plants in the yard and asked if it was okay. Xu Lan, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, thought that the old man was afraid that he would not be able to sit still, so it would be good to give him something to do, so he agreed, but let him take care of his body first.

Master Cheng began to raise flowers in the yard, because the yard is not big, all covered with stones, so it can only be planted in pots, Shunzi helped him transport a few pots, moved the soil, and moved a lot of trees and flowers.

The trees are not very tall, there are two pots of evergreen, two small osmanthus trees, and a small seedling, I don't know what it is. The yard is also alive.

Xu Lan walked out of the courtyard and saw that Master Cheng had gotten some small clay pots out of nowhere, and there were also some small seedlings in them, such as orchids, jasper, gladiolus, etc.

"Master Cheng, you look good today, what is this?" Xu Lan asked pretending to be interested.

"There are some small potted plants planted in this pot, and when they grow more, how about putting a few pots in your room?" Master Cheng asked.

"Okay, okay, I said less anger in the room, just right, just put this." Xu Lan said happily.

Master Cheng was also very happy to hear Xu Lan say this.

"Master Cheng, where did you learn the technique of raising flowers?" Xu Lan looked at his skillful appearance and asked.

"I learned this from the master who took care of the yard when I was in the young master's house, and I helped him when I had nothing to do, and I left the school when I helped." Master Cheng said with a smile, obviously the time in the mansion was a good memory for him.

"Young master, you see, I've been eating here all day, and I'm so bored, is there anything that an old slave can do. Tell me. Master Cheng said again.

"Me, it's enough to have Junko's help, Junko is my brother, you are Junko's grandfather, and you are also my grandfather, you can rest assured that you are eating here at leisure, no one dares to say a word." Xu Lan said sincerely.

Master Cheng said: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

When I was in the house, I just looked at Shunzi pitifully, and I was alone, so I got close to him. I didn't expect to bear good fruit today, and my eyes were a little red for a while.

Xu Lan saw it, and felt a little sad in her heart, thinking that he would be more comfortable doing something here, so she said: "Otherwise, this yard will be handed over to you to take care of, so that Mama Li can also concentrate on guarding the shop, what do you think?" ”

Master Cheng was very happy to hear this, and said, "Okay, okay." ”

Old children, old children, people are afraid of loneliness and loneliness when they are old, and it is really important to have someone to listen and trust.

Don't talk about the rest.

When it was time to have dinner, Xu Lan walked back by herself, and now the house is two streets away from this Tianbi Street, and it is less than a quarter of an hour to go back through the alley. Sometimes together with Steward Zhao, Junzi will also send her. Because the family has never been worried about her going alone. Xu Lan didn't care, they were busy and went back first.

Xu Lan went home and looked at the stove first, said hello to Mama Li and then went in.

Seeing Li An walking towards the hand-copying verandah, Xu Lan stopped him.

Asked Xu Xuan how he was in the school, Li An stood and lowered his hand and replied, saying that Xu Xuan studied very hard.

Xu Lan also gave him time to go to the store to meet his mother. After Li's mother moved to the store, the mother and son rarely saw each other. Li's mother has two days of Mu Xiu every month, but Li An sells herself without Mu Xiu, even if she goes home to see her family, she must get the master's permission. So only Li Ma Muxiu came to see him, and he didn't dare to delay for a long time.

Ang Lee listened and replied: Yes. Xu Lan originally wanted to ask his brother if he was still studying. He didn't know. And let him go.

Xu Lan went to Xu Xuan's room first, but there was no one in the room. Xu Lan went to Xu Tang, where Xu Tang and Zhao Qingyao were embroidering and talking. Zhao Qingyao saw that Xu Lan was back, so she got up and said that she should go to the house to help cook dinner.

The Zhao family and his wife cook alone in the morning and evening, and they eat lunch with Mama Li and them in the inner courtyard. The rear hood has a porch leading to the inner courtyard. When the door is closed, it is like two separate yards.

The two saluted, and Zhao Qingyao left.

"What do you two say, so happy!" Xu Landao.

"It's nothing, it's Sister Qingyao who taught me how to embroider." Xu Tang replied.

Xu Lan saw that since Zhao Qingyao came, Xu Tang was also much more cheerful. Although I don't like Zhao Qingyao, it's good that my sister is happy. And he said nothing.

The two came to the main courtyard together and went to Wang's place to say goodbye.

Brother Xuan was also in the house, and when Wang saw them coming, he asked them to sit down. asked Mama Zhao to take some snacks and let them cushion their stomachs.

Because Wang wanted to discuss with Xu Lan something, he went to the side hall. Xu Tang and Xu Xuan knew what they were talking about, so they ate there by themselves.

Wang then sat down with Xu Lan before saying, "I thought about it, it is true that there should be two people, otherwise I am afraid that I will be in a hurry and I won't be able to take care of it." ”

Xu Lan nodded, knowing that the Wang family had figured it out and wanted to buy a maid.

"I want to buy a teenage girl, and when the time comes, I will hire a wet nurse and I can also help. Mama Zhao is also old, and she is afraid that she will not be able to take care of it. I also have to invite another person on the stove, Mama Li is also old, and when the time comes, I still have to open the stove alone, and I am afraid that I will not be able to be busy. Wang was a little embarrassed when he said this, after all, Xu Lan was just a yellow girl, and I was afraid that she didn't understand these things.

Xu Lan didn't feel it, these things seemed normal to her.

"Exactly, this matter, I will find Steward Zhao tomorrow and ask him to find the Ya Po from last time, and bring someone to show his mother first."

"Also, a few days ago, I mentioned my mother's birth with the son-in-law of the Chen County Ling family, and he said to go back and ask her mother to help take a look, I thought about asking again in the next two days, and then I took Mama Zhao over to recognize the person." Xu Lan said again.

When Wang heard this, he was a little surprised, Xu Lan even took these things to heart. I also felt that although Xu Yiliang had also mentioned it, he was not as reliable as Xu Lan, and he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.

Women giving birth in ancient times are like passing through the ghost gate, and it is very important to find a good midwife, and you can be more down-to-earth.

"This nurse also has to take a good look, she must be physically and mentally clean, and her body and mind must be healthy." Xu Lan continued.

"Sister Chen in the shop knows a lot of people, so I asked her to help find them."

Wang looked at Xu Lan and didn't know what to say.

Xu Lan looked at her and explained: "Mother handles the affairs at home, and the trivial matters outside will be handed over to me, and my son will be able to do this. Since my father and Brother Xuan have taken this most difficult path, shouldn't I support them more? ”

Wang laughed when he heard this, and the awkwardness in his heart was also put down.

Yes, this is the most difficult way to take the exam.

"Mother, I also have something to discuss with you, now that this shop is able to operate normally, why don't we open another branch shop in the west of the city?" Xu Landao.

The Wang family also knew that Xu Lan had run the store very well, and it was naturally good to open another one, but now the capital is not enough.

"We are looking for this shop slowly, the right shop is not so easy to find, we don't open it immediately, and when we wait for the second half of the year, we can open it again with funds, what do you think?"

Only then did Wang nod and said, "You still know something about opening a shop, you just need to look at it." ”

"By the time next year, both shops will start to make a profit, so my mother won't need to be so frugal." Xu Lan began to draw cakes: "If my father can win the examination this time, he will definitely take the examination next year, and if he wants to participate in the examination, he must vote for a famous teacher. ”

"Your father has lost his books for so many years, although he has a talent background, I am worried about this township test." Wang shook his head and replied, "But you're right, we always have to think about it first." Although Wang is not very confident, he still feels that the future is very good for Xu Lan's words.

Xu Lan still has something to say, but after thinking about it, she decided not to talk about it yet, and the Wang family may not support it.

After speaking, Mama Zhao said, "Madam, the meal has been set, and the master asked me to send the meal to the study to eat, and it won't come out." ”

Wang didn't care, so he took everyone to the wing room to eat.

Walking through the verandah, Xu Lan looked at the begonia flowers in the yard, and the other withered flowers and plants in the yard had already been cleared, and some were empty. I thought it might be good if I let Master Cheng take care of it
