Wei Ting ran back home with two pots of white peonies, went to his grandmother and mother happily as soon as he entered the house, and gave them a pot each.

Both Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei were very happy. Looking at the flowers in front of them, they couldn't help holding Wei Ting's hand and boasting, "You still know how to be filial to us."

Master Wei came over and heard it, frowned slightly, and asked: "Today is neither a ten-day holiday nor a holiday, why did you come home?"

Wei Ting froze, only then remembered that he had climbed over the wall.

However, Wei Ting is used to playing truant, so he didn't change his face, and lied directly: "I learned from a classmate that there is a pure white peony outside, thinking that my grandmother and mother like it, so I took half a day off from school. Come out and go back to school tomorrow."

Master Wei also has experience in dealing with truancy. He squinted his eyes and asked, "Really? Then you have to do your extracurricular homework well. Come, someone, go to Mr. Zhai's house, and ask the young master what to do today." What is the assigned homework?"

Wei Ting's feet went limp, so he went to school with a limp the next day.

Bai Shan also just arrived at the school, and just put down the book basket. When he looked up and saw him limping in with his teeth gritted, he asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you?"

Wei Ting sighed and said, "Yesterday I got carried away and forgot that I played truant from school. Alas, why didn't you remind me?"

Bai Shan said with no expression on his face: "We also forgot."

Wei Ting didn't doubt at all, and sighed, "Yesterday my father sent someone to tell Mr. Zhai that I will be punished by Mr. Zhai soon."

Ji Hao couldn't help asking: "What did you do when you went out to study yesterday?"

"I went to see Manbao's peonies," Wei Ting shared with him a moment of regret, "It's a pity you left too early yesterday, otherwise you should really go and have a look, her peonies are really good."

Ji Hao raised his heart and asked, "Did you buy it?"

Wei Ting nodded, "I bought it, I bought two pots of white peonies."

Ji Hao breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is Yao Huang Wei Zi still there?"

"Naturally, those flowers are so expensive, where can we afford them, but I told my grandmother, she was very interested, and said that she would go and have a look today." Wei Ting said: "The two potted flowers are indeed Well, is your mother going to see?"

Ji Hao was silent for a while.

His mother is also interested, but I'm afraid she won't go in person, but will send a nanny to get it.

Ji Hao rubbed his forehead and asked Wei Ting, "Can't you give the flowers to my mother?"

Wei Ting frowned and said, "This is the business of the grown-ups, how can we meddle as juniors, and let the one who pays the most get it."

He doesn't care, what does he care about?

Ji Hao didn't speak.

The two of them didn't know that Mrs. Ji Er and Mrs. Wei were not the only ones who wanted to buy these two potted flowers. Man Bao went out early in the morning to the pharmacy. When it was time to finish school at the government school, Man Bao asked Zhou Zhou Lang to go out with a pot of white peonies.

Daji asked, "Miss Man, won't you go to school today?"

Man Bao: "No, we're going to the county government office today."

Man Bao went to deliver flowers to Mrs. Tang. Although she prefers orchids, it doesn't mean she doesn't like peonies.

When Mrs. Tang saw this pot of white peonies with excellent appearance, she smiled and refused to accept it, "Man Bao, you and your husband are friends. If you have anything to do, just tell me. I will help if I can, and you don't have to." Such a great gift."

Man Bao smiled and said: "This potted flower is not very expensive, it is only worth sixteen taels. If Mrs. Tang thinks it is expensive, you can give me sixteen taels."

Mrs. Tang didn't believe it. She came from Chang'an, and Chang'an is full of peonies, so she naturally knows how much a peony of this quality is worth.

"How could it be only sixteen taels?"

Man Bao said: "The first pot of flowers sold for sixteen taels, so the rest are only worth sixteen taels."

Mrs. Tang blinked and asked, "Who bought the first pot of flowers? From your point of view, you still have a lot of white peonies?"

Man Bao said with a smile: "I have a total of twenty-two pots, I keep one pot at home, and the remaining twenty-one pots are sold out."

Mrs. Tang finally believed that she only priced the flower at sixteen taels, she asked with a smile, "Then why did you come to me this time?"

"I would like to invite Mrs. Tang to invite Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Ming. I still have two pots of Yao Huang Wei Zi at home. I don't know if they are interested." Man Bao said: "People from the Ji family and the Wei family have already asked Let's take a look."

Mrs. Tang was surprised, "You want to..."

"I would like to invite some ladies to appreciate these potted flowers first. Good flowers should be matched with people who love flowers."

Mrs. Tang smiled and said: "You are quite courageous. If you dare to invite so many wives to your door at once, it's fine. Then I will hold a banquet in Ganxiang Tower, so I might as well invite four wives to go and have a look together. However, such a Come on, your potted flowers will look less."

Man Bao nodded, "Flowers should be in pairs. I will ask my fourth brother to send another pot of similar white peonies in a while. Madam will look more pleasing to the eye."

Mrs. Tang couldn't help laughing, she liked talking to smart people the most.

Man Bao really asked Zhou Zhou Lang to send another pot of white peonies, and the two pots of peonies were placed on the porch of their house. The county magistrate Tang saw it when he came back from the front office for dinner, and couldn't help but stop and look at it. She smiled and asked, "Ma'am, where did you buy these two potted flowers?"

Mrs. Tang smiled, "Guess?"

"Chang'an?"

Madam Tang shook her head.

Magistrate Tang laughed and said, "It can't be Luoyang, right? You sent someone to Luoyang?"

Mrs. Tang shot him a sideways look and said, "Am I so unreliable? I even sent someone to Luoyang to buy potted flowers."

Magistrate Tang laughed and said, "Of course Ma'am won't do this, so I'm curious where Ma'am bought these flowers."

"Your little friend sent it." Jiang Manbao was about to sell flowers, and there were two pots of Yao Huang Wei Zi at home.

Magistrate Tang was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Zhou Man? Are you sure she wants to sell flowers?"

"Can I not recognize her?" Mrs. Tang said, "I thought she was good at raising orchids, but I didn't expect that she was also good at raising peonies."

Magistrate Tang was puzzled, why she became interested in selling flowers all of a sudden.

Mrs. Tang didn't think much about it, and said that she was going to help her get married, "I think you are a very interesting little friend."

Magistrate Tang came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "It's rare that someone can talk to you, so let's get along well."

At this time, Man Bao in the small courtyard sent away the members of the Ji family and the Wei family. Both families sent stewards to see the flowers and prepared money to buy them back, but Man Bao refused.

The Ji family is fine, after all, Man Bao still has a relationship with their family, but the steward of the Wei family is not very good-looking.

But they didn't dare to say anything in front of Ji's family. They said goodbye to Man Bao with a smile, got in the car and left.

Bai Shanzhi glanced at their backs and said to Man Bao: "Let Mrs. Tang set the time for the day after tomorrow. I will take a ten-day break and go with you."

Man Bao nodded without comment.
