Zhulan is not ashamed of flower arrangement in the past two days, she took her daughter to insert a few bottles, she clearly remembers, when this girl followed her to learn flower arrangement, it can only be said that it is beautiful, and there is no artistic conception of what to match.

Zhulan carefully looked at the vase with the most votes, and smiled in her eyes, this girl is clever, she is matched according to the shape of the head, and the red flower in the middle is the finishing touch.

Zhulan handed the votes and list to Hua's and said, "I can't give away the jackpot today." ”

In a word, you know who won the first place.

Hua Shi quickly looked at the list and votes, her face stiffened, she thought that the best was the work of her daughter, although she rarely taught her daughter, she could think that the lady of the official family was born with aesthetics.

Miao's heart was also unhappy, her daughter was not as good as the little girl who came out of the cultivators.

Xue Han was very surprised, she felt that the head and face match was very beautiful, which made people shine, but she didn't expect to win, her expectations were really not high, as long as she didn't embarrass her parents.

Hua and Miao laughed dryly and said congratulations dryly.

Then the two wanted to show off their daughters, and they wanted to perform piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but unfortunately, Zhulan's family did not have piano and chess, writing and painting, Xue Han was really not scared, Xue Han has been very self-disciplined since he was a child, and the big characters have never been broken to write every day, and Xue Han's words have long had their own style.

As for painting, Zhulan likes to paint, and often pulls her daughter to paint together, and practice makes perfect when she paints, not to mention that Xuehan still has some talent.

Hua and Miao's hearts were congested, so they decided to go home and teach their daughters in person, and Xue Han also became jealous among the official ladies.

Xue Han is destined to become friends with the daughters of the two adults.

The sixteen dishes of the banquet made people unable to find fault with it, and Hua said dryly: "Zhou Yiren thought thoughtfully, and bothered." ”

Zhulan said politely: "Yes, the flowers are pleasant, please." ”

Everyone who eats a meal has their own thoughts, and now that they have seen the city of Zhulan, no one will underestimate Zhulan in the future, not only do they dare not underestimate Zhulan, but they are also very polite to the Yang family, and they dare not despise the vulgarity of the Yang family behind their backs.

After the banquet, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren sent everyone away, and when everyone left, the two met and laughed.

In the Chen family's car, Hua told the situation in the backyard, "Lord Zhou's lady is very deep, and I have been angry for a day today." ”

Chen Chen covered his heart, he was still thinking that he could relieve the pain from the lady's mouth, and now it hurts even more.

Hua Shi looked at the old man's appearance and sighed, "In the future, let's live in peace with the Zhizhou family!" ”

Chen Chen pursed his lips, "Hmm." ”

In the carriage of the He family, He Yun talked about the front yard, and Miao talked about the excitement of the backyard.

Everyone knows what kind of person Zhulan is at a banquet, and some bad rumors about Zhulan are gone.

Zhulan has received a lot of invited posts, some official positions are too small to be invited, and the posts above the sixth grade are all available.

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 integrated in with Wuchun's wife Wu.

Zhulan and the official wives of Lizhou City, they have been face-saving for a month, and none of them have entered Zhulan's eyes, but Xuehan has made friends, the daughter of Zheng Hong of the Zheng family, who met at the Yang family once, the daughter of Zheng Hong's family is one year younger than Xuehan, and the sons of the Zheng family have a good martial arts, and the daughters are all pampered.

The little girl Zheng Ji, Zheng Hong's eldest daughter, don't look a year younger than Xue Han, because she is the eldest daughter, she is much calmer than Xue Han.

Time passed, in a blink of an eye into August, the sky in August is really hot, the only thing that can make Zhulan happy is that the watermelons and melons planted are about to ripen, because the seeds are planted, so the maturity is relatively late until September.

Not only did the Zhulan family plant watermelons in Lizhou City, but the Yang family also planted a lot, and some wealthy families who followed the trend also planted some, and there are really a lot of watermelons and fruits in Lizhou City.

In the past two months, Zhou Shuren has also made full use of his labor, repairing roads, digging ponds, and rebuilding some dilapidated houses of farmers.

The entire village near Lizhou City has changed greatly, although the yamen no longer employs people, but seeing that the high-yield crops of sweet potatoes and potatoes are about to be harvested, the smiling faces of the people have not been broken, and Zhou Shuren's reputation has become even higher.

The people who participated in the employment more or less had some money, and there were more merchants in Lizhou City in the past two months, not only restaurants were opened, but inns were also opened, and from time to time foreign merchants came to Lizhou City, and the price of the shops bought by Zhulan also rose.

When Zhou Shuren came home at night, he saw Zhulan sitting at the table writing, "What are you writing, so focused?" ”

Zhulan was too attentive, startled for a moment, and after a while, she said: "Seeing that the watermelons and melons are about to ripen, I thought about writing some leaflets, so that the nearby state cities will know that we have late watermelons and melons in Lizhou City." ”

Zhou Shuren took a bite of the watermelon in his hand, the watermelons he ate at home were all bought in Sichuan City, Zhou Shuren counted the days, "The watermelons in Sichuan are coming to an end?" ”

Zhulan nodded, "The seedlings in Sichuan were planted in the field, and they were planted ten days earlier than us, I asked the boss to see it, and there should be no watermelons to sell in the field in a few days." ”

Zhou Shuren ate the watermelon, washed his hands and said, "Are our apples about to ripen?" ”

Zhulan smiled, "I'll have to wait a few more days, around the end of October." ”

Zhulan personally went to see the orchard, the fruit farmers who spent a lot of money are worth it, the fruit trees serve well, and the fruit bears well, although the ancient varieties are not very large, but the fruit is a lot, and Zhulan can't help but calculate how much money she can make this year.

Zhou Shuren picked up the propaganda slogan written by Zhulan, "Do you plan to let people go to the vicinity of the inn in various states to publicize?" ”

Zhulan nodded, "The foreign merchants are rich, they are all concentrated in the inn, and they are also well-informed, they can't eat so many late watermelons and melons, so they will naturally notify their companions, the foreign merchants will also pay attention to the dynamics of the merchants, and the merchants of this dynasty will also pay attention, so it will naturally attract more merchants to come to Lizhou, as long as you take the merchants to the fields, you can see the orchard, and when the fruits are ripe, there will be merchants to come to buy." ”

In ancient times, fruits were valuable and the yield was low, so there would only be people who disliked the lack of fruits, and no one would dislike the more.

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Your propaganda has saved the yamen a lot of things. ”

Zhulan smiled, "There are also a lot of things in the Yamen, and you should also publicize the plan to build Lizhou City into an apple state in the future, so that more people can know about it and attract more people and fruit merchants to come." ”

Zhou Shuren nodded and wanted to speak, but Steward Ding knocked on the door and said, "Master, master." ”

Zhou Shuren asked, "What's the matter?" ”

It's getting dark, and no one should be coming!
