In order to arrange flowers in the past two days, Zhulan brought her daughter to put a few bottles. She clearly remembered that when the girl learned to arrange flowers with her, she could only say that it was beautiful, but there was no artistic conception of matching.

Zhulan looked at the vase with the most votes again, and smiled in her eyes. This girl took advantage of the tricks. She matched it according to the shape of her head and face, and the red flowers in the middle were the finishing touch.

Zhulan handed the votes and list to Hua and said, "I can't give you the first prize today."

I know who got the first place in just one sentence.

Hua looked at the list and votes quickly, and her face became stiff. She thought the best was her daughter's works. Although she rarely taught her daughter, she thought that her daughter had an aesthetic background.

Miao was not happy either. Her daughter was not as good as the little girl from Gengdu.

Xuehan was very surprised. She felt that the combination of her head and face was very beautiful, which made people's eyes shine. Unexpectedly, she won. Her expectations were really not high, as long as she didn't embarrass her parents.

Hua and Miao laughed dryly and said congratulations dryly.

Then the two wanted to show off their daughter, and they wanted to perform both qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Unfortunately, Zhulan's family did not have qin and chess, so they wrote and painted. Xuehan was really not afraid of it. Xuehan was very self-disciplined since childhood, and she never stopped writing big words every day. Xuehan's words had already had their own character.

As for painting, Zhulan likes to draw and often draws her daughter together. Practice makes perfect when you draw more, let alone Xuehan is still a bit talented.

Hua and Miao were so upset that they decided to go home and teach their daughter well. Xuehan also got jealous of the official lady.

Xuehan is destined to become friends with the daughters of the two adults.

The sixteen dishes at the banquet were held, and there was no problem with them. Hua Shi said dryly: "Zhou Yiren was thoughtful and troubled."

Zhulan said politely: "It should be, please Hua Yiren."

Everyone had their own thoughts on eating a meal. Now that I saw Zhulan’s cunning, no one would underestimate Zhulan in the future. Not only did I dare not underestimate Zhulan, but I was also very polite to the Yang family and did not dare to despise the Yang family’s vulgarity behind their backs.

After the banquet, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren sent everyone away. After everyone left, the couple met and laughed.

In the Chen family's car, Hua family talked about the situation in the backyard, "Mr. Zhou's wife is very cunning, and I'm angry for a whole day now."

Chen Chen covered his heart, and he was thinking that he could relieve the pain in his wife's mouth, but now it hurts even more.

When Mrs. Hua saw the master's appearance, she sighed, "In the future, we should live in peace with the magistrate's family!"

Chen Chen pursed his lips, "Yes."

On the He family's carriage, He Yun talked about the front yard, and Miao talked about the wonderful things in the back yard. The couple looked at each other, so that neither Master Zhou nor his wife could mess with him!

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

Zhulan has received many invitations one after another, and some official positions are too young and have not been invited, and all posts with sixth rank or above are included.

In the following month, Zhulan went to participate in a few days and completely integrated into the circle of officials and wives in Lizhou City. She also brought Wu Chun's wife, Wu, to join in.

Zhulan and the official wife of Lizhou City have been in a face-saving relationship for a month, and no wife has caught Zhulan's eyes. However, Xuehan made friends, Zheng Hong's daughter, whom he met at the Yang family, once he went to the Yang family. The daughter of Zheng Hong's family was one year younger than Xuehan. The sons of Zheng's family all had good martial arts skills and were all spoiled.

The little girl Zheng Eun, Zheng Hong's eldest daughter, is one year younger than Xuehan, because she is the eldest daughter, she is much more calm than Xuehan.

As time passes, August is coming in a blink of an eye. The weather in August is really hot. The only thing that makes bamboo orchid happy is that the watermelon and melon planted are about to ripen. Because the seeds are planted, they mature later until September.

Not only did the Zhulan family grow watermelons in Lizhou City, but the Yang family also planted a lot, and some wealthy families who follow the trend also planted some. There are quite a lot of watermelon fruits in Lizhou City.

In the past two months, Zhou Shuren has made complete use of labor, repaired the road, dug the pond, and pushed the dilapidated houses of some farmers' homes back to build them.

The entire village near Lizhou City has changed a lot. Although the yamen no longer hires people, the crops with high yields of sweet potatoes and potatoes are about to be harvested, and the people's smiles have never stopped, and Zhou Shuren's reputation has become even higher.

The people who participated in the employment have more or less money. In the past two months, there have been more merchants in Lizhou City. Not only have restaurants opened, but inns also opened. From time to time, foreign merchants come to Lizhou City, and the prices of shops bought by Zhulan also increased.

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

Zhulan was so attentive that she was shocked and waited for a while and said, "When the watermelon and the melon are about to ripen, I thought about writing some flyers so that the nearby prefectures and cities know that there are late watermelon and melon in our Lizhou City."

Zhou Shuren took a bite of the watermelon in his hand. The watermelons he ate at home were bought in Chuanzhou City. Zhou Shuren calculated the days, "Is the watermelon in Chuanzhou going to end?"

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

Zhou Shuren ate the watermelon and washed his hands and said, "Does our apples also mature?"

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

Zhulan has visited the orchard in person. It is worth it to hire a fruit farmer for a lot of money. The fruit trees serve well and the fruit bears good fruits. Although the fruits were not very big in ancient varieties, they bear a lot of fruits. Zhulan couldn't help but calculate how much money they could earn this year.

Zhou Shuren picked up the slogan written by Zhulan, "Are you planning to send someone to go to the nearby inns in various states to promote it?"

Zhulan nodded, "Foreign merchants are rich, they are all concentrated in inns, and their information is also well-informed. If you can't eat so many late watermelons and melons, you will naturally notify your companions. The merchants of this dynasty will also pay attention to the news of foreign merchants, and naturally attract more merchants to Lizhou. As long as you take the merchants to the fields, you can see the orchard. Before the fruits are ripe, merchants will come to buy them."

In ancient times, fruits were valuable and yielded low. Only people would dislike few fruits, and no one would dislike many.

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Your publicity has saved a lot of things from the yamen."

Zhulan smiled, "There are many things in the yamen. You should also promote more plans to build Lizhou City into an Apple State in the future, so that more people can know how to attract more people and merchants."

Zhou Shuren nodded and wanted to speak, but Butler Ding knocked on the door and said, "Master, mistress."

Zhou Shuren asked, "What's the matter?"
