Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Man Bao doesn't know anything about this. She has recently become popular in the circle of ladies in the capital, and even Zhou Lijun is very happy.

It is spring, the season when hundreds of flowers begin to bloom, and among the hundreds of flowers, the most famous is the peony.

Man Bao came into the palace with a peony in his arms, which is considered to have opened up his reputation in the capital. Within two days, the wife of the Liu family asked Liu Huan to go to Zhou Man's house to choose a complex peony, and then the wife of the Li family sent it. Someone came to choose a Yao Huang...

In fact, they want to buy potted flowers more than buying a blossoming flower branch.

However, because of the lessons learned, Man Bao did not dare to sell them, and was only willing to sell flower branches.

For this reason, Zhou Lijun deliberately handed over the restaurant's money collection to Zhou Lizhong for the time being, and she ran back to take care of Manbao's flower and tree business.

I don't know where my aunt found the flower farm. Anyway, she and Bai Shan can always buy good flowers from outside.

She is in charge of leading the servants who come to pick flowers and branches.

For people who especially want to buy potted flowers, she said, "A famous peony like this needs at least a hundred taels of flowers outside, and it is only enjoyed once a year. Only a few flowers of a pot of peony can be attached to the head. ?"

She said: "It's better to buy flower branches. The expensive flower is only five taels, and the cheap two taels can be bought. How much can the ladies spend changing flowers every day? Not to mention that you have to take care of them when you buy them back. It may not necessarily be able to grow the original color.”

Seeing what happened to the mutant chrysanthemums that my sister-in-law brought back, she felt that she didn't dare to sell them either. She still had to rely on credibility when doing business. What if she sold potted flowers and they could only keep them for a year?

As for those who suggested that the price of flower branches was too high, she said, "My aunt raised flowers with care. This pot is all famous, and some varieties have not even been seen. Put a famous hairpin to the banquet hall. Going up and down, with flowers lining people, the girls must be very eye-catching, is it still expensive for a few taels of silver?"

She said: "You must know that if it is a potted flower, it may not be able to buy hundreds or thousands of taels."

Those who can choose flowers on behalf of the owner, they all know the owner's mind very well. The reason why they come to Zhou's house to buy flowers and branches is not for the beauty and beauty of others?

So even if they dislike being expensive, they will buy it.

But their words and deeds still reminded Zhou Lijun, she said to Man Bao: "Little aunt, we can't do what we want, we can't sell too many flowers, otherwise the street is full of famous products, and we won't be able to sell the price later, we will do this again next year. business."

If ten flowers make the same amount of money as selling one, she is of course willing to sell one.

So, when someone comes to ask for flowers again, Zhou Lijun doesn't sell everyone, he always has to push back twice, saying that there is no flower today, or the flower you want to buy is not available, it hasn't opened yet, and you have to wait two more days...

There was no reason why she couldn't find it anyway.

Man Bao thought that she would offend people like this, and people would not be willing to buy from her again, but it turned out to be even more touted.

More people came to the door. Even Mr. Zhuang looked at Zhou Lijun in amazement, and then said to a few apprentices, "I didn't expect that there would be a daughter Tao Zhu in our yard."

Zhou Lijun, who has little reading, was writing the account book for selling flowers, stroke by stroke, when he heard this, he raised his head and asked curiously, "Who is Tao Zhu?"

Bai Erlang said from the side: "Don't Tao Zhu know? Tao Zhu Gong, Fan Li, a famous person in Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period. It is said that he was very powerful. He became a huge wealth three times, and he lost his family wealth three times."

When Bai Erlang said this, he glanced at Zhou Lijun suspiciously, then turned his head and said to Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, are you over-acclaimed?"

Seeing that he was belittling his niece, Man Bao was unhappy, and pushed him and said, "You shouldn't say this, it's up to the emperor to say it."

Bai Shan, who was on the side, put an article in front of her and said, "This is my article, and the doctors in the school have also reviewed it."

Man Bao looked down and was startled, "Why did they all approve you?"

Bai Shan proudly said: "I said it all, my article will pass, you look at the seal at the back."

Man Bao turned to the end and looked at the rows of excellent characters and seals, and was speechless for a long time.

It has been 20 days since Bai Shan's article was written. The reason why he is only giving it to Man Bao now is because he wants her to be convinced of her defeat, lest she make any excuses not to admit defeat.

After his article was written, it was first presented to Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang was very satisfied after reading it and gave him an excellent award.

Bai Shan asked Mr. Zhuang to write the excellent characters at the end of the article.

At that time, Mr. Zhuang glanced at him, and he probably knew about the bet he had made with Man Bao, so he wrote it to him, perhaps to increase his credibility, he also stamped a private seal on it.

When Bai Shan saw it, he opened the door to a new world. When he took it to the school to show it to the doctor, he also asked him to write down the assessment and then click on a chapter.

The doctor, who was not willing to press the chapter, heard that he had made a bet with someone, and when it was a certificate of achievement, he was happy to press the private chapter for him.

Not only that, the doctor also diligently helped Bai Shan to find several doctors, and everyone circulated the evaluation together.

Finally, the article spread from Guozixue to Taixue, and then to the four schools. I heard that it was also passed to the discipline and arithmetic. After a circle, it fell into the hands of Kong Jijiu.

Kong Jijiu watched it carefully for two days, so he also wrote an excellent title on it and pressed a private chapter.

So at this moment, Man Bao couldn't find a reason to refute it. After all, this slip of red seal was covered at the back.

So she didn't have time to talk to Bai Erlang, and asked in disbelief, "Why?"

She took the article and asked Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, haven't you thought about the consequences of abandoning farming?"

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said: "Farming is not so easy to be abandoned. Besides, this is an article. I will only read this article. He persuaded us, and we gave him an award. If you are not convinced, you can also write An article refutes him."

Standing beside her, Bai Shan turned his head and asked her, "Are you going to write an article to refute me?"

Man Bao: How can she be free now?

But she was still not convinced, so she nodded fiercely, "Rebut!"

"Then you can write it," Bai Shan said, "but we are betting on whether I can pass this article. Now the gentlemen have not only passed it to me, but have also given me an award. It is your writing that refuted my article. That's another thing, you have to admit the bet."

Zhou Lixue asked Bai Erlang curiously, "What are you betting on, auntie?"

Bai Erlang shook his head, "I don't know, I'm not interested."

Bai Shan has already asked Man Bao with a smile, "The day after tomorrow I will take a bath, how about we go the day after?"

He said: "After a while, the peach blossoms in the mountains will all bloom."

Man Bao nodded: "Okay, then the day after tomorrow."

Although she was very unconvinced, she considered herself to be someone who was willing to admit defeat.
