The man's eyes were crooked, showing a slight smile, and the inky black eyes reflected the jumping candle flame and Xiaoman's face, which looked very gentle.

Xiao Man was a little embarrassed by this gaze, and couldn't help coughing lightly, turned his face away, wiped his already hot cheeks with the hand on his chin, and lowered his voice: "How much do you think... Uh, how much silver is appropriate? ”

Seeing that the other party turned his face away, Lu Li couldn't help laughing, and couldn't bear to tease anymore, but began to get down to business: "Taking Mrs. Zhang as an example, assuming that all the women who come to participate in this class are women like Mrs. Zhang, then we can decide the cost of a course or a few months based on Lord Zhang's salary." ”

The man is serious, Xiao Man is not awkward, and what the other party said does make some sense, and it is true that the course fees of Mrs. Zhang and others can be calculated according to Lord Zhang's monthly salary.

Neither too high nor too low, otherwise it will call into question the professionalism of the course.

After thinking about it, Xiao Man still decided to talk to Mrs. Zhang after returning to the county lord's mansion, so as to probe the other party's tone, after all, he is not from the Canglan country, he is not familiar with the environment here, and even if he wants to find more people, he must use this opportunity to tell Mrs. Zhang, so that the other party can invite more people to come.

Thinking of this, Xiao Man nodded, "In that case, I'd better wait until I go back to the house to see Mrs. Zhang before discussing with her, otherwise if no one comes, then wouldn't I have prepared in vain?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Li chuckled lightly, and couldn't help but scratch the tip of the other party's nose, "You little money fan, you haven't forgotten to make money even after you're here." ”

"Hush." Xiao Man snorted lightly and gave the other party a roll of his eyes, "This idea was originally thought of by you, okay?" I'm just inspired by you to make this better. ”

"Okay, yes, I said it wrong." Lu Li smiled and apologized, and arched his hand.

Xiao Man snorted and laughed, and then patted the other party's shoulder, "Okay, let's go eat, wait a little longer, it is estimated that the rice will be cold." ”

After learning the news that Xiao Man was going to live here forever, Lu Li's heart was full of excitement, and the whole person revealed a sense of excitement, and even hummed a little song on the way to the kitchen to eat, which made Xiao Man laugh non-stop.

With Xiao Man's presence, Lu Li no longer has to eat the food cooked by the secret guard, and his appetite is much better.

After the two of them ate, they washed the dishes with a smile and a smile, and then went to rest.

Early the next morning, Lu Li still had to go up the mountain to hunt as usual, and Xiao Man went to the greenhouse accompanied by Xiao Qi, at that time, the pearl and jade had already turned the entire greenhouse, and they were sure that there was no major problem.

"Madam, Lord Zhang and Lord Liu have just sent someone to send a message, saying that they will be there in a while." Pearl reported.

Xiao Man nodded, looking at the greenhouse that was larger than the three greenhouses in the family combined, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I don't know if such a large greenhouse can be as smooth and successful as before." ”

"Madame is so smart, as long as you are in charge, it will definitely go well." Jade's mouth is sweetly relieved.

Hearing this, Xiao Man smiled lightly, "Accept your auspicious words." ”

Taking advantage of the fact that Lord Zhang and Lord Liu had not yet arrived, Xiao Man patrolled the entire greenhouse again, sealed the places that were not sealed well, and asked the subordinates to burn the fire more vigorously in order to raise the temperature in the shed.

Just when Xiao Man supervised his subordinates to burn the charcoal fire, Zhang Shangqi and the others also arrived.

I thought there were only two people, Lord Zhang and Lord Liu, but I didn't think that today, there was a lady who came with Lord Zhang, she and Lord Zhang were riding in the same carriage, similar in age to Zhang Shangqi, beautiful and beautiful, gentle and generous.

"County Lord, this is my lady who I mentioned to you before and is very interested in embroidery." When Zhang Shangqi introduced, there was always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and it could be seen that he had a very deep relationship with Mrs. Zhang before.

Mrs. Zhang is a typical lady, Yingying saluted Xiao Man, and her voice was soft: "I've seen the county lord." ”

"Mrs. Zhang is polite." Xiao Man couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, she just said last night that she wanted to talk to this Mrs. Zhang, but it happened that Zhang Shangqi came with Mrs. Zhang today, but it was a coincidence, saving her a lot of trouble.

Although she came with Zhang Shangqi for the greenhouse, Mrs. Zhang must also have her own selfishness, because the clothes she is wearing today are transported by Huali from the Manrou Garment Workshop, and the style of this cotton coat and the pattern on it are very familiar.

The lotus pink cotton skirt is embroidered with white gardenias, and the fox fur around Mrs. Zhang's shoulders makes her skin more and more like congealed cream, although age has left fine lines on her face, but this cotton dress and these fine wrinkles are more and more elegant for Mrs. Zhang, just like a quietly open gardenia, full of charm.

After greeting a few people with Mr. Zhang, Xiao Man couldn't help but take the initiative to come forward and praise: "Mrs. Zhang's skin is better than snow, and she is gentle and generous, and this dress is more elegant set off by you." Others say that people rely on clothes, but now Mrs. Zhang has set off this dress more beautifully, which is really rare. ”

Although there are some exaggerated ingredients, Xiaoman really thinks that Mrs. Zhang wearing Donglan-style clothes is really good-looking, but it is a pity that the cotton clothes are a little heavy, and Mrs. Zhang is a little bloated.

The gentle Mrs. Zhang couldn't help blushing when she was praised by Xiao Man, "The county lord praises you, it's all good clothes." ”

"Even if the clothes are good, you have to pick someone to wear, Mrs. Zhang, don't be modest, this dress really flatters you." Xiao Man smiled.

Mrs. Zhang lowered her head slightly and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Seeing that the two of them were getting happier and happier the more they chatted, and there was a tendency to keep chatting, Liu Ying, who was in a hurry, couldn't sit still, and while a few people stopped talking, he hurriedly proposed: "Okay, okay, let's go in first!" I still have something to ask the county lord. ”

Xiao Man covered his lips and smiled when he heard this, glanced at Liu Ying with some embarrassment, and then handed Mrs. Zhang a slightly apologetic look, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Please." ”

Next to this greenhouse was a small temporary living house, with a total of three rooms, although it was a little small, but the interior decoration was not inferior to the county lord's mansion, it was not luxurious, but it was comfortable enough.

The four of them entered the house, Pearl served tea and stood aside, Xiao Qi wanted to go out for a walk, but he didn't dare to leave easily, but fortunately Xiao Man gave him a positive look, so he dared to sneak out.

The room was a little small, but fortunately, a few people didn't bring many followers, and they could barely fit it.

"County Lord, I watched and built this greenhouse, did you see it just now? Can you also echo your request? Liu Ying asked impatiently.

Xiao Man smiled lightly and said, "It's hard work Lord Liu, I've seen it just now, there is no big problem, as long as the temperature reaches the temperature, then you can start." ”

"I just took a look, this greenhouse is very big, I don't know when the county lord is going to start sowing, we can also send someone to help, so that it can be completed as soon as possible, what does the county lord think?" Mrs. Zhang proposed.

"This doesn't bother Mrs. Zhang, everyone in my house will do this, and sowing seeds is not so difficult, Madam rest assured, even if it is just me, it can be completed in one day." Xiao Man smiled.

It's not that she's bragging or what, sowing seeds is simpler than harvesting, not to mention that there are still many people in her house, if she really lets the Canglan people on Mrs. Zhang's side come over to help, Xiaoman not only has to teach them to sow seeds, but also teach them to water and bury the soil, with this time, she can accomplish a lot herself.

Hearing Xiao Man say this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but be a little surprised, but looking at Xiao Man's sworn appearance, she knew that the other party was by no means talking big, and she couldn't help but be curious, and wanted to ask the other party how to do it, but there were other people present, so she was embarrassed to ask again, only nodded, and smiled slightly to indicate that she knew.

Subsequently, Zhang Shangqi and Liu Ying discussed the situation of the greenhouse with Xiaoman, and after making sure that everything was fine, they were ready to go back.

Mrs. Zhang got up with Zhang Shangqi, seemingly a little reluctant, but she was embarrassed to take the initiative to stay, so she had to say goodbye to Xiaoman, and her words were full of reluctance and regret.

Seeing that it was still early, and the other party was a little reluctant, Xiaoman took the initiative to stay: "I heard that Mrs. Zhang is very interested in Donglan's embroidery, while we are all free today, why don't you stay, and I will send someone to send you back to your house in the evening, how about it?" ”

Zhang Shangqi realized his wife's emotions and asked, "Are you willing?" ”

"Naturally, I am willing, I have long heard that the county lord is unparalleled in intelligence and embroidery, and I am fortunate to be here today, and I want to talk to the county lord for a while." Mrs. Zhang took advantage of the steps given by Xiaoman to go down.

Seeing this, Zhang Shangqi nodded, "Since that's the case, then you can stay, I still have official business to deal with, so I have to leave first." ”

Seeing off Zhang Shangqi and Liu Ying, Xiao Man took Mrs. Zhang's hand and returned to the house, and asked with great interest: "Mrs. Zhang, are you a native of Canglan?" How could you be interested in Donglan's embroidery? ”

"I grew up in Pingyuki Castle since I was a child, at that time, the king's father had not yet ascended the throne, Pingyuki Castle was still the capital of Canglan, not far from the junction of Donglan and Xijiang Kingdom, Pingyuki Castle was very prosperous, and merchants from all over the world went there to do business, including Donglan people."

Speaking of the previous incident, Mrs. Zhang's mouth always had a faint smile: "I have been very interested in Donglan's embroidery since I was a child, and I once had the idea of marrying Donglan, but with the change of the world, my wish was not fulfilled." ”

After listening to the other party's narration, Xiao Man knew that the original Mrs. Zhang was about 20 years older than herself, because she grew up at the junction of Donglan and Xijiang Kingdom, so compared with the Canglan woman, Mrs. Zhang's gentle temperament, hobbies, aesthetics, etc., are more like Donglan people.
