The ancestors and grandchildren were talking and laughing all the way in the carriage, and even the guards who were guarding outside couldn't help but smile knowingly when they heard it.

When it was almost noon, they finally arrived at their mother's Zhuangzi, which was repaired very quietly and elegantly, with no lack of carved beams and paintings, pavilions and pavilions, water pavilions and bamboo forests, and the scenery of each courtyard was different, each interesting.

When the carriage had just arrived twenty miles outside Zhuangzi, Zhang Lu's family and a group of servants had already marched to this side of the road to pick them up, and when they saw the carriage, they immediately bowed down and kowtowed, "The slave Zhuangzi steward Zhang Lu and Neizi meet the old lady, the county lord and the girls!" The minions have prepared hot water and tea, and the masters can enjoy it at any time. ”

The old lady lifted the curtain, glanced at Zhang Lu and his daughter-in-law, and saw that her face was honest, and she couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, "Hmm!" The child's filial piety insists that I come to escape the summer and have a lively time, but it bothers you! ”

Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law stood up, bent down to laugh, and her voice was as loud as ever, "Where did the old lady say, the slave didn't have that opportunity to serve the old lady on weekdays, but now that the old lady is coming, you let us do our best, and also give us a chance to show filial piety, so that we can also touch the old lady's blessings!" ”

The old lady listened to her crisp and clear speech, and her speech was very funny, so she couldn't help but like it first, and nodded with a smile, "That's good!" I'll let you serve me, don't bother my old lady!" ”

"Hey, hey! I'm picking up good things today! You have to make those mothers-in-law red-eyed when you go back, old lady, let's go back! The servant instructed the cook to make a few refreshing side dishes, and you can also taste the taste of our mountains! ”

The old lady was coaxed into high joy and nodded vigorously. "Good. Just listen to you. Can I prepare my granddaughter's yard? ”

"Don't worry, you still have to worry about this matter! The minions have long been prepared, and there are so many courtyards! The minions were picked up three days earlier! The bedding is all new, and if you are not satisfied, just tell the people to do it! Zhang Lujia spoke quickly, his temper was crisp and crisp, and his fiery posture was so hot that it opened the eyes of several second girls.

"Good, good! Let's take a look, you little monkeys are so relieved! The old lady nodded happily and squinted happily. More and more kind eyes.

The group escorted into the Zhuangzi, Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law is indeed very capable, and has already arranged the courtyard, this Zhuangzi used to be the Huangzhuang, which was repaired at a great price, next to the main courtyard, and there are several courtyards with different scenery.

Zhang Lujia accompanied the old lady and the others to turn around, and the three girls were a little excited when they entered the Zhuangzi, and they fell in love with the lotus courtyard next to the main courtyard, and a pond was dug in the lotus courtyard. Some lotus roots and lotus flowers are planted, and the scenery is also very beautiful. In autumn, it's time to eat lotus roots, and there are a few fish species such as carp in the pond and the ocean, and it is also good to eat a few fish soups in summer.

There is a pavilion on the edge of the pond, and it is also a good leisure and entertainment activity to drink tea and chat here when it is hot.

As soon as the three girls came in, they fell in love with this place, "I want this yard, no one is allowed to rob me!" ”

The old lady glanced at it, saw that none of them had any intention of robbing, and said with a smile: "You are still a sister!" I don't know how to let my sisters! ”

The third girl thought that someone liked this yard like her, and she was quite reluctant, but she still reluctantly said: "If you like it, I will let you be good!" ”

The fourth girl couldn't help but laugh when she saw the third girl's meat-cutting expression, "Third sister, we won't rob you!" After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Yang Lan and the others, which was very ridiculous.

The third girl blushed instantly, pouted and muttered, "You, okay, you guys...... Unite to bully me! I'm sorry to let you guys that! Hum! If you don't let it, Miss Ben will live here! With a wave of her hand, she decided on the spot where to live, and when she found a courtyard that suited her heart, the three girls were very satisfied.

Other girls soon also chose their own satisfactory yard, the four girls chose the Yazhu Courtyard, the Yazhu Courtyard is planted from the south of the Xiangfei bamboo, purple bamboo, wine bamboo and many other varieties of bamboo mixed together, although it seems a little messy, but the breeze blows, the bamboo shadow is swaying, there is a subtle rustling sound in the ears, the mottled sunlight shines into the bamboo forest, revealing a cool and elegant.

The five girls chose the hibiscus garden, which was planted with a lot of exotic flowers and plants, and the five girls said that they would make some balm and rouge, and said that they would give some to the sisters when they were ready!

Yang Lan chose the Peach Blossom Dock, the Peach Blossom Dock is not planted with flowers and plants, but a few rice fields and vegetable fields, she feels that it feels very idyllic here, I liked it very much last time, and this time I can learn how to farm, which is also an interesting thing.

The old lady was arranged by Zhang Lu's family to live in the peony garden in the main courtyard, and she waited to wash and wash and plan to rest for a while, and sat in the carriage all morning.

Lunch is not complicated, Zhang Lujia is well versed in the way of please, and the masters of Miss Zhilu Dao are not uncommon, so the meals prepared are refreshing and delicious, and it is better to eat fresh and game.

The old lady was served by Zhang Lu's family to eat, and Yang Lan didn't have much fun eating alone, so she called a few sisters to come over and eat together.

"Third sister, you are here, come quickly, I'm hungry! It's a great time to eat! Yang Lan saw that the third girl came in with a bamboo cotton curtain on the branch of the magpie by her subordinates, and greeted her with a smile.

"Yikes! That's great! The fifth and fourth girls also came in, and the five girls approached the dining table to take a look, and opened their mouths with a smile.

Lunch is a specialty of the farmhouse, with chestnut roasted pheasant, lettuce with garlic and cold salad, lettuce soup, pickled cucumber strips, vegetarian assorted and spicy tofu, stir-fried river fresh, osmanthus fish sticks, crispy duck, accompanied by four-color scallion fragrant flower rolls and red rice porridge, golden rice pumpkin porridge, as well as cream pine roll crisp, red bean corn flour cake.

"Well, this duck is doing a good job!" The three girls directly tore the duck meat and ate it, praising while eating.

"This spicy tofu is well done! You can also taste it! "The five girls love spicy food, and almost all of the tofu is eaten by her.

Although the four girls did not speak, their faces were slightly red, and they ate very happily. Obviously very fond of chestnut roast chicken. Yang Lan also ate a bowl of red rice porridge. Three flower rolls and two milk meat rolls, eating a round belly.

"Biyun! Take some silver copper plates to reward Zhang Lu's family and the people in the kitchen, and say that the meal is good, so do it, it's refreshing and slightly spicy! ”

"Yes!"

Biyun agreed, took mint water to rinse the mouths of Yang Lan and the girls, Bilian took a hot handkerchief and came in to let the girls clean their hands and wipe their faces, and then took a purse to reward after serving.

"If my sisters are tired in the afternoon. Just sleep for a while, we still have more days to live! Don't be in a hurry, and rest enough. Yang Lan took a sip of the white silver needle before saying.

The three girls also made a carriage for the morning, stretched their waists, yawned and said sleepily: "I also went back, and after sleeping for a while, my bones are sore!" ”

"Okay, let's go around the Zhuangzi in the afternoon." The five girls were not less interested, and they were obviously more lively when they arrived here.

"Well, you woke up and came to me, I'm sleepy too!"

The girls went back to the house to make up for sleep. Yang Lan also felt sleepy and took off her jacket. Wearing only a pink muslin embroidered with floral clothes, he lay on the big bed of carved Ruyi flowers on sour branch wood, covered with a lake blue silk jacket and fell asleep.

Bilian watched her master fall asleep, opened the lid of the cloisonné three-legged elephant trunk incense burner, threw some benzoin into it, and closed the lid again, and she went lightly to the outside to clean up the common things she brought.

Yang Lan only slept for more than half an hour before getting up, changed into a home-style green embroidered ivy cotton silk cardigan, a blue silk skirt embroidered with gold and dark flowers all over the place, a bean-green silk silk fell on her waist, her hair was casually curled in a full moon bun, and a crimson yarn palace flower was ordered.

"Miss, the fifth girl just made someone say, she is going to make some rouge, if the girl wakes up, she will go together to have a good time, the third girl and the fourth girl are probably very tired, and they haven't woken up yet!" Biyun came in and reported to Yang Lan.

Yang Lan smiled after hearing this, "The third sister and the fourth sister should also exercise, they can't stand it if they are a carriage, really!" You take out a few recipes from my box and copy them, and I'll bring them over to the fifth sister to play with! ”

Bi Lian was a little reluctant to hear this, and pouted, "Miss, that's the rouge recipe for takeout in our shop, how can you get it if it's known, but Miss checked a lot of books and got it, that's an ancient recipe!" ”

Yang Lan smiled, "You girl, why are you so stingy!" Why should your sisters care like this! ”

Biyun was afraid that Bi Lian would make Miss unhappy, so she interjected: "What Bi Lian said also makes sense, but according to the slave maid, don't give the ancient recipe, there are two ordinary recipes, and it's good to give them away, and you can buy two taels of silver for a box in the shop!" And it's not cheap. ”

Yang Lan thought about it, and nodded, "Okay!" It's up to you. By the way, how has the shop been during this time? I didn't bother asking! ”

Bi Lian happily replied quickly: "The master said that the profit is very good, and last year he made a profit of more than 6,000 taels of silver!" She's planning to add a few new varieties, especially incense and the like that sell very well! The incense that is matched with flowers all year round according to the girl's ideas in the shop sells well! The master said that he planned to continue the next step of the plan, with the twelve-flowered hairpin beauty incense and a series of rouge for sale, which has basically been adjusted to the same level, but the taste of jasmine is not very exquisite, and the formula needs to be adjusted again. ”

Yang Lan looked at what Bi Lian said and couldn't help but smile, "Look, our Bi Lian knows better than me!" I'm relieved to have you! ”

Bi Lian was embarrassed by the laughter, stomped her feet and blushed and complained, "Miss, how can there be someone like you, who doesn't care about you and doesn't allow us to ask?" The people who lost a lot of kindness! ”

"Good! We Bilian have worked hard, and I will give you a hairpin with a jasmine flower and a broken gem in my box! Miss, I'll reward you for your hard-earned money! Hehehe! Yang Lan laughed.

Bilian bowed generously and thanked her, "Slave and maid thank the master for the reward!" (To be continued......)
