Chapter 367

In the past two days, Zhulan took her daughter to plant a few bottles in order not to be ashamed when arranging flowers. She clearly remembered that when this girl was learning from her, flower arranging could only be said to be beautiful, and there was no mood to match it.

Zhulan carefully looked at the vase with the most votes again, with a smile in her eyes, this girl was clever, she matched it according to the shape of her head and face, and the red flower in the middle was the finishing touch.

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

In one sentence, we know who won the first place. Hua quickly looked at the list and the number of votes, and her face became stiff. She thought that the best works were her daughter's works. Although she seldom taught her daughters, she believed that her daughter's official family background had aesthetics.

Miao's heart is not happy, her daughter is not as good as the little girl from farming and studying.

Xuehan was very pleasantly surprised, she felt that the matching of the head and face was very beautiful, which made people's eyes shine, but she didn't expect to win, her expectations were really not high, as long as she didn't embarrass her parents. Hua Shi and Miao Shi laughed dryly and said congratulations dryly.

Then the two wanted to show off their daughters. They wanted to perform piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it was a pity that Zhulan's family didn't have piano and chess, and Xuehan was really not afraid of writing and painting. Xuehan has been very self-disciplined since she was a child. The daily big characters have never stopped writing, and Xuehan's characters have long had their own style.

As for painting, Zhulan likes to paint, and she often draws with her daughter. Practice makes perfect if you paint more, not to mention that Xuehan is quite talented.

Hua Shi and Miao Shi were so overwhelmed that they decided to go home and teach their daughters well. Xue Han also aroused the jealousy among the officials.

Xuehan is destined not to be friends with the daughters of the two adults. There were 16 dishes for the banquet, and no one could find anything wrong with it. Hua said dryly: "Zhou Yiren is thoughtful, and I took the trouble."

Zhulan said politely: "Yes, Huayiren please."

Everyone has their own thoughts on a meal, and this city who has seen Zhulan today, no one will underestimate Zhulan in the future, not only dare not underestimate Zhulan, but also very polite to the Yang family, not daring to despise Yang behind their backs Home is vulgar.

After the banquet, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren sent everyone away, and when everyone left, the couple met each other and smiled.

In the Chen family's car, Mrs. Hua told the situation in the backyard, "Master Zhou's wife is very rich, and I've been angry for a whole day today."

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

Seeing the master's appearance, Hua sighed, "In the future, let's live in peace with Zhizhou's family!"

Chen Chen pursed his lips, "Yes."

In the He family's carriage, He Yun talked about the front yard, and Miao talked about the wonderful backyard.

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

Zhulan received a lot of invitation posts one after another, some of the official positions were too small to be invited, and all the posts above the sixth rank were all included.

In the following month, Zhulan went to participate in an event for a few days, and completely integrated into the circle of official wives in Lizhou City, and also brought Wu Chun's wife, Wu Shi, into it.

Zhulan and the officials' wives in Lizhou City spent a month of face-to-face friendship, and none of the wives caught Zhulan's eyes. However, Xuehan made friends. I know each other, the daughter of Zheng Hong's family is one year younger than Xuehan, the sons of the Zheng family are all good at martial arts, and the daughters are all pampered.

The little girl Zheng Xie, Zheng Hong's eldest daughter, may seem a year younger than Xuehan, but because she is the eldest daughter, she is much calmer than Xuehan.

Time passed, and it entered August in a blink of an eye. The weather in August is really hot. The only thing that makes Zhulan happy is that the watermelons and melons planted are about to ripen. Because the seeds are planted, the ripening is relatively late until September. month.

In Lizhou City, not only the Zhulan family planted watermelons, but the Yang family also planted a lot of watermelons, and some rich families who followed suit also planted some. There are really a lot of watermelons in Lizhou City.

In the past two months, Zhou Shuren also made full use of his labor,

Roads were repaired, ponds were dug, and dilapidated houses of some farmers were pushed down and rebuilt.

The entire village near Lizhou City has changed drastically. Although the yamen no longer employs people, seeing the high-yield crops of sweet potatoes and potatoes are about to be harvested, the smiling faces of the people have never stopped, and Zhou Shuren's reputation has become even higher.

The families of the people who participated in the employment more or less had some money. In the past two months, there have been more merchants in Lizhou City. Not only restaurants have opened, but also inns have opened. From time to time, foreign businessmen come to Lizhou City. The store prices have also gone up.

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

Zhulan was so focused that she was taken aback for a while, and said after a while: "Seeing that the watermelons and melons are about to ripen, I want to write some publicity sheets to let the nearby prefectures know that our Lizhou city has Late watermelon and melon."

Zhou Shuren took a bite of the watermelon in his hand. All the watermelons at home were bought in Chuanzhou City. Zhou Shuren counted the days, "The watermelon in Chuanzhou is coming to an end?"

Zhulan nodded, "The seedlings were planted in the fields in Chuanzhou, and they were planted ten days earlier than us. I asked the boss to see them. In a few days, there should be no more watermelons in the fields."

Zhou Shuren ate the watermelon, washed his hands, and said, "Aren't our apples about to ripen?"

Zhulan smiled, "We have to wait a few more days, around the end of October."

Zhulan has visited the orchard in person, and it is worthwhile to pay a lot of money to hire fruit growers. The fruit trees are well served, and the fruit is not bad. Although the ancient varieties are not very big, the fruit is not very big, but it is quite a lot. Zhulan I can't help but calculate how much money I can make this year.

Zhou Shuren picked up the promotional slogan written by Zhulan, "Are you planning to send people to promote it near the various state inns?"

Zhulan nodded, "The foreign merchants are rich, they all gather in the inn, and they are also well informed. If they can't eat so many late watermelons and melons, they will naturally notify their companions. The foreign merchants' news, the merchants of this dynasty will also Pay attention, it will naturally attract more merchants to Lizhou, as long as you take the merchants to the fields, you can see the orchards, and merchants will come to buy the fruits before they are ripe."

In ancient times, the fruit was valuable and the yield was low. Only some people would dislike the lack of fruit, and no one would dislike the abundance.

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Your publicity has saved the Yamen a lot of work."

Zhulan smiled, "There are a lot of things in the yamen, you also need to publicize more about the plan to build Lizhou City into an apple state in the future, and spread the word widely so that more people will know and attract more fruit merchants. Come."

Zhou Shuren nodded, wanting to speak, but Butler Ding knocked on the door and said, "Master, mistress." Zhou Shuren asked, "What's the matter?"

It's getting dark here, no one should come!
