Chapter 192 Prepare to welcome guests
Chen Fan looked at Zhang Ci: "Invisible army? A large number of soldiers live as ordinary people?"

Zhang Ci nodded slightly: "Almost."

"Then how to investigate? It seems that the time is peaceful and prosperous, and those soldiers will not go out to carry out large-scale operations like robbers. How can we find out the clues?"

"By the way, it's just an investigation. If there are bandits to suppress bandits, if there are thieves to catch thieves, if there are spies, then we will eliminate the spies. If there is no such situation, we will investigate the people's livelihood and officials. Why don't the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, and the Criminal Department send officials here?"

"Then at least ten days and half a month? When will those governors and county magistrates come?"

"At least ten days later, probably half a month later." Zhang Ci said with a smile.

"Traveling for so long?" I'm not afraid of being robbed of my job.

"You don't have to worry about your job. It took only a month for it to be robbed, and the bowl was not held securely, so it still fell when you stayed at home." Zhang Ci smiled.

The next day, September [-]th, Chen Fan and Huai Shan returned to Wangjiadun with a few servants, and tidied up the house and Su Garden.Liu Huairong went back to Liu's house to report on the matter.

"Master Zhongshu Ling will come to Liu's house tomorrow?" Elder Liu was surprised and flustered, "Can we prepare in time?"

"In time, Miss Chen arranged their lunch in only half a day that day, and she still thought of asking me to come over to buy more staff." Liu Huairong said.

"Can it be the same? It's also affectionate to have a hasty homely meal. It's agreed in advance, so we can't be too casual." Mr. Liu looked serious.

Liu Huairong smiled: "Father has experienced many banquets, and he has quite a lot of experience."

Elder Liu still looked solemn: "Can it be the same? That is Master Zhongshuling." He lowered his voice and said, "If he goes to the county magistrate's house, the county magistrate must be shaking all over."

"That's natural. The officials are more concerned and nervous than us." Liu Huairong smiled.He has been in contact with those officials these days, but he is not so afraid of them.

"What other arrangements do adults have?" Elder Liu asked.

"They will arrive at Wangjiadun this afternoon and live in Su Garden. It will take about ten days and half a month. In a few days, the governor and county magistrate will come to the banquet and bring the rice back."

Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably: "Su Garden? Fortunately, there is a Su Garden, adults can live in peace and quiet for a while. Chen girl was really right when she built a garden."

Liu Huairong smiled: "That's because my father is wise and generous, and he is willing to let her build so many houses."

Master Liu shook his head: "At the beginning, I just thought that if she dared to buy even the saline-alkali land, she must have a ravine in her heart. She must have a purpose in building a garden. Even the residential village behind, I believe it will come in handy in the future .”

Liu Huairong said: "Yes, first of all, as a big family, we can get together to eat and enjoy the scenery. It feels very comfortable to eat in the garden on the day of housewarming. In the future, when we meet more people, there will be a place to entertain. This Su Garden But as soon as the door was opened, the distinguished guests were greeted."

Grandpa Liu smiled: "Let's go sit in the old lady's room for a while, there are still many things to arrange."

When the old lady heard what the two said, her lips trembled, but she couldn't speak.She stretched out her hands and rubbed her face, took two deep breaths, and then said, "Are we going to entertain high officials from the capital?"

"Yes, it's still the prime minister." Liu Huairong nodded persistently.

"What about the other adults?" the old lady asked.

"One or two will come to accompany. The other adults will stay in Wangjiadun." Liu Huairong said.

"Then how should we prepare?" The old lady had no experience.

"Just follow our usual level and add a few more delicate dishes." Master Liu pretended to be calm.

The old lady gave him an angry look: "Don't pretend to me, you might be so flustered just now."

The eldest wife couldn't help laughing, and said, "Mother, please don't tear down his platform."

The old lady smiled: "How did Miss Chen arrange these few days?"

"Slaughtering pigs, slaughtering sheep and fishing, there are fresh vegetables in the field, and some pastries, and a small bowl of health soup every day, such as lotus root, lotus seeds, pears, lilies, etc. It is said to nourish the lungs and relieve dryness. replied.

"This girl is really smart and considerate. She used to make some soup for us to drink every day when I didn't move out. She is not here anymore. I drink the one cooked by others, but it doesn't taste that way." The old lady said, the eldest lady He also nodded in agreement.

Liu Huairong smiled: "The cook has also learned a few dishes these days, and I will cook them for grandma."

The old lady disagreed: "The same material and the same method, different people make it feel different. We don't care, we just hope that Zhongshu will satisfy the adults."

"Master Zhongshu ordered you to come to Liu's house for dinner to show us our status. If we are more relaxed, your lord will be happier."

The old lady smiled and nodded: "That's the reason, hurry up and get ready, Chen girl should prepare more things and bring them over there, her room is still empty."

Chen Fan is actively preparing.The sanitation needs to be cleaned, the flowers and trees need to be pruned, the pots and pans must be sufficient, and the dinner must be properly prepared...

Around four o'clock, the team arrived at Wangjiadun, and the villagers and passers-by watched curiously from a distance.

Most of the flowers on the flower gallery have fallen, but some roses are still blooming brilliantly.The flowers on the edge of the Su Garden are also in full bloom in autumn: the three colors of hibiscus flowers have attracted the interest of many people; , looking at the mood will get better...

There are still many people under the flower corridor, some are sitting under the rose flower bridge, and some are looking at the flowers in the east and then returning to the flower corridor to rest and eat.Looking at the scene, Yan Shoulu immediately shouted exaggeratedly: "Wow, there are so many people? This is more lively than some markets."

Wu Zhongsu responded and said: "Yes, the streets of some small counties are really not so lively, let alone those rural markets."

Several officials from the household department opened their eyes wide: "Is it possible to make something like this in the countryside?"

Zhang Jiuyan, who runs prisons, also became romantic: "If this flower gallery is in the capital, those ladies and ladies will definitely flock to it."

Chen Fan and Huai Shan came to welcome the adults.They were not in a hurry to enter the house or the courtyard, and stood on the road looking at the flowers.Yan Shoulu looked at the tall white orchids beside the warehouse, and asked Chen Fan, "What kind of flower is this? It smells so fragrant?"

"This is a white orchid, and the tree can be as high as five or six feet. White orchids imply elegance and dignity. You can give flowers to your best friends, and you can also give them to your loved ones."

"White flowers for someone?" Yan Shoulu couldn't accept it.

Chen Fan smiled: "Let's go to the yard first, and arrange the carriages and horses, and it will be easier to come out to enjoy the flowers."
