Chapter 3283 asking for flowers

Zhou Man was stunned for a while before returning to his senses, and hesitantly said: "It's the subordinate's fault, the post was written early, maybe it was missed when it was handed over to the subordinate, I'll go back and look for it later, it's probably still there. In the library."

King Gong snorted coldly, feeling that Zhou Man wouldn't even find an excuse. Wouldn't it be better to just say that the servant was negligent at this time?

Just call a servant over to deal with it, and both sides can pass. She actually took the guilt by herself, but she was willing to suffer, and Prince Gong naturally wouldn't stop her.

Princess Gong smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, Master Zhou doesn't have to take this matter to heart, my lord, let's go in."

Zhou Man immediately turned sideways, "Wang Ye and Wang Fei, please."

Only then did Prince Gong and Princess Gong lift their feet and enter.

Zhou Man personally sent the people to the front yard, and Thursday Lang had already arranged the seats first, and finally did not let King Gong experience the embarrassment of not having a seat.

At the same table are several honorable people of Zhao Guogong, who are especially suitable for King Gong.

Bai Erlang also rushed over and whispered to her: "Go to the backyard, leave the front yard to me, and when the time is right, I'll ask someone to invite you, just come out and toast a glass of wine."

Zhou Man agreed, cupped his hands and said, "Then leave it to you, junior brother, and bring my fourth brother with you. He has no fame, so don't let anyone bully him."

"Don't worry, today is a good day for you. Since they are here as guests, who would be so shameless?" After he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of King Gong sitting in the upper seat not far away, and Bai Erlang said, "It's not that there isn't any, I'll give it a shot. Take back what you just said, and will take Brother Thursday with you carefully."

Zhou Man went to the backyard in peace.

Bai Erlang is not cowardly, except that he is a little afraid of the emperor and the prince, he is not afraid of King Gong and other honorable people.

The backyard is more lively than the front yard. The female relatives drink and enjoy the flowers. Mrs. Liu also invited actors to sing and dance. In addition to the storytellers, there are both men and women. There are also various games waiting for everyone to play. Very lively.

Zhou Man walked all the way, greeted people all the way, and when he found Zheng, his face would freeze with laughter.

"Mother and grandmother?"

Zheng pointed to the dining room and said, "Your grandmother is sitting on the Diaoyutai Terrace, where she is receiving some elderly guests."

Zhou Man is young, but very few of her colleagues are young. Except for Yang Heshu and Master Guo, the others invited by Zhou Man are a little older.

Naturally, their wives will not be very young. They will bring their daughter-in-law and even granddaughter-in-law, but in order to show their respect for Zhou Man, they will also come in person.

Moreover, Zhou Man's official position is not small now, and they are colleagues with their husbands. It is inconvenient for some social juniors to come forward, so they must come.

Now these ladies are sitting with Mrs. Liu in the banquet room. When they heard the singing and the sound of the piano from outside, Mrs. Liu invited them to the theater.

"Our family has set up a stage outside the observation building next to the garden. You can see the stage when you sit in the garden and the observation building. Why don't we go and sit in the observation building?"

The ladies responded with a hello and asked, "I don't know who is from the Jiaofang?"

"Miss Fenghua."

A lady smiled and said: "It's still Master Zhou who has a lot of face, and he actually invited Miss Fenghua. As the New Year is approaching, the Jiaofang is very busy. I heard that the palace is going to hold a big event this year, so the Jiaofang chose Miss Fenghua as the leader. Children should be busy practicing, how many Wang Sun Xungui wanted to invite Miss Fenghua to appear at this time."

Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "We are lucky, just in time for today's Miss Fenghua to be free, and she can't be invited at other times. The banquet in the palace is a big event, and we don't dare to neglect it."

Everyone's ears were listening to this explanation, but they didn't know what to think in their hearts.

Zhou Man went around the banquet room, and then followed their trail to the observation tower, "Grandmother, I found you, ladies and gentlemen, you should eat and drink well today, and have a good time, there is room for negligence. , please also ask Haihan."

"The county master Liyang is joking. I think everything is in order today. The county master is really capable. No wonder Your Majesty and the Empress love you so much."

Zhou Man hurriedly said: "This is not my credit. It all depends on my grandmother and my mother-in-law. I just sit back and enjoy it."

These ladies naturally know that Zhou Man doesn't care about the back house. She is so busy with her official business. If she manages the internal affairs and can manage so well, then she is not a human being, but a god, right?

but……

A few old ladies glanced at the actors playing on the stage and the people sitting and watching in the garden, and thought to themselves: If they have such a daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law who can make a fortune, they would be willing to do so, too. run the house for her.

Zhou Man joked with them for a while, confirmed that they were all doing well, and then left with a smile.

When she got to the ladies of the same age below, Zhou Man felt much more at ease. She found a seat in the corridor, leaned back, and sighed deeply, "I'm really tired. I have decided not to move in my lifetime."

Mingda smiled and said, "This is difficult, don't you want to travel around the world? Are you planning to stay in the capital for the rest of your life?"

"I'm talking about no more moving house and invite housewarming wine," Zhou Man closed his eyes to rest and sighed: "It's not difficult to be a home in the world, you can travel all over the world with one horse and one pot, but the difficult thing is housewarming and entertaining guests."

Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "I heard that these things are handled by your grandparents and mother-in-law for you. What have you done?"

Zhou Man: "I've been entertaining guests, and I've been standing for a long time today."

"It's also the hard work of the county master of Yueyang."

Everyone laughed for a while, and Mingda looked at the garden and said, "The scenery here is not as good as Zhou's house."

Zhou Man waved his hand indifferently and said, "With my mother-in-law here, it will look good in three or five years."

Zhou Man remembered something, sat up slightly, and leaned halfway towards Mingda, "I like plum blossoms, especially red plums, it's not interesting to appreciate plums in the snow, there is a multi-petaled red plum in your garden, it's not only beautiful, It also comes with a cold fragrance, which I was very envious of in previous years, but when I look back to the spring, how about you let me break a branch and plant it?"

Mingda smiled and said, "I also think that the red plum is pretty, and I let the craftsmen grow it in a pot earlier, so that it can still be enjoyed in the house. Now they can't make it smaller, but it has been cultivated in the pot for two years. Now, if you like it, I will give you two pots later, you can plant them directly in the garden, and you will be able to open them after two years."

Zhou Man was overjoyed, "That's good, but I plan to plant one, you still have to give me some plum branches."

"Good to say, good to say."

Princess Changyu remembered and said, "Don't you love peony and chrysanthemum? I vaguely remember that you used to sell these two kinds of flowers in the capital, and both peonies and chrysanthemums are very good."

"Oh, I like the money they get more than the gorgeous and charming flowers." Zhou Man smiled and said, "Aside from these vulgar things, I really like plum blossoms the most."

Chang Yu was speechless, "That's it, I was thinking of giving you a few pots of peonies because you love flowers."

"I love it," Zhou Man immediately changed his words, "Peony is beautiful, how could I not love it? Send me, send me."
