Chapter 254 Gap, Someone Comes At Home
There are many ladies and ladies here today, and they are all enjoying the flowers.

"These orchids are better than my family's spirit." Mrs. Qiao, magistrate of Baoyuan County, said with a smile.

"It is said that orchids are gentlemen among flowers, and Xiang Jun's family is so harmonious, just like this orchid." Mrs. Shi, magistrate of Yuanfeng County, followed.

Is this a gesture of one-on-one?
Chen Fan smiled: "There are many people in the family, and the time can keep up, so the flowers will grow better. Ladies and ladies, if you like it, the house will prepare a pot for each of you."

Everyone smiled.With orchids in return, everyone is happy.

The cold orchids are blooming brilliantly, exuding a quiet fragrance.The flower stems are particularly slender and straight, and the flowers have different shades of color.Everyone watched carefully.

"Which pot do you like?" Mrs. Qiao asked Mrs. Wu, the Prime Minister of Daxing County.

"I like this pot of thin leaves. It looks delicate, but it's actually very strong." Mrs. Wu pointed with her finger.

"I prefer the pot with wider leaves, more relaxed and generous, and more colorful flowers."

"I like to grow flowers, but I can't keep them alive. Orchids are so difficult to raise, and I don't know how long they can stay in my house." Mrs. Wu likes and worries at the same time.

Chen Fan said with a smile: "Hanlan blooms in the cold winter, Madam, you don't need to be too careful, just put it in a place with scattered light to avoid too strong light."

"So that's the case. I either put the flowers in direct sunlight, or put them in a cool place out of the sun. It seems that I still don't understand the temperament of some flowers."

Chen Fan smiled: "Also pay attention to ventilation, not too dry, you can spray some water properly, but it can't accumulate on the leaves for a long time."

"Should I fertilize more?"

"Use less fertilizer. Its root system is relatively shallow, and the soil should have good air permeability and drainage. You can spread some humus soil to ensure nutrients."

Chen Fan and Mrs. Wu exchanged some knowledge about growing flowers, and Mrs. Wu smiled comfortably.

The male guests are discussing the mountain construction plan.

"A doctor inspected it together, and said that there are a few places that cannot be damaged, and that they are suitable for growing medicinal herbs." Cui Yunlang pointed to the blueprint and said.

"Then keep the mountain tops, anyway, there is not much water in those places." Cui Jieshi agreed.

"Some roads will be stepped on some mountains so that the common people can go." Qiao Xinghui said.

"Doesn't the common people have to go into the mountains to hunt and cut down trees? Won't the places where medicinal herbs grow be destroyed?" Some officials disagreed.

"It's not possible to go to every place, just some mountains." Qiao Xinghui explained again.

"The reservoir is planned to be built at this location." Zhang Ci drew a range on the drawing, "We need to cooperate with Yongchang County to embankment along the mountain." He looked at Liu Qingchang, the magistrate of Yongchang County.

County magistrate Liu was very straightforward: "It's a great honor that this reservoir has been built, and Yongchang County has also benefited."

Su Zhengyi, governor of Xizhou, said with a smile: "The people in Changping Township have earned a lot of food by working hard. The construction of the reservoir next year will also give the people of Yongchang more opportunities to earn food."

"Thanks to Changping Township." Magistrate Liu laughed loudly.

Everyone was relatively quiet during the meal, and they didn't talk much, and only commented when the food was served.

After the meal, the male guests played chess and the female guests played the piano.The ladies who had practiced the piano couldn't resist the temptation of Fengyiqin, and took turns to play a piece.

Chen Ying and Chen Xiu were fascinated by it. The manners of all the ladies playing the piano were like a painting.

The eyes of the ladies were all on those girls, Chen Fan lowered his head and smiled, maybe it was a sign of acquaintance?

In addition to flowers, bonsai and jade, Chen Fan also gave each guest a hundred catties of rice seeds.Everyone left happily.

The girls gathered around the room talking.

"Sure enough, I still have to practice for many years. I usually watch my eldest sister and brother-in-law play the piano well, but today I see those young ladies playing the piano also look good." Chen Ying said.

"We've only practiced like this for a few months, and our momentum has weakened a bit." Chen Xiu laughed.

Chen Ya comforted them: "When the sisters practice for a few more years, they will have that kind of momentum."

"Sister Ten is so caring." Chen Ying pinched her face.

"When Ya'er is eleven or twelve years old, she will have the demeanor of a lady." Chen Yue said with a smile.

Huai Shan and Ru Hui watched them laughing and laughing.When they returned to the wing room, their expressions collapsed.

"The gap is too big." Huaishan sighed.

"You studied with Sister Chen for a while before, and I only communicated with each other a few times. I spent more time in Liu's house, and I learned a little more in the past few days. Your writing has improved, but you can talk to those young ladies. Compared with us, it will still be much worse." Ruhui said sullenly.

"I admire Sister Chen more and more now. At that time, she was farming in Wangjiadun. She even made the whole family's children read, practice calligraphy, play the piano and draw pictures. Those were adopted children." Huaishan looked at the roof, "Why did she Can you think of doing that?"

"You used to live in the country a lot, and there were no ladies, but I lived in the city. My aunt never thought of asking me to read more books and practice calligraphy. It’s a big deal if you can do the math.” Ru Hui also sat on the back of the chair, looking at the roof.

"It's still too late to practice piano and handwriting. After all, we are only 12 years old. We will improve a lot when we get married." Huai Shan sat up straight.

"Although we are also the general's younger sister now, the eyes of those wives are still on the lady of the official family. The background is still different." Ruhui still sat paralyzed.

Chen Fan and Zhang Ci are exchanging information about the banquet.

Most of the male guests were talking about people's livelihood, and the miscellaneous part was filtered out by Zhang Ci.Chen Fan said that they were just enjoying flowers and chatting, playing the qin and talking about the qin.

"The style of this banquet is very different." Chen Fan was a little puzzled. Last time it was just a business meeting, but this time it was purer.

Zhang Ci smiled: "If you attend a few more banquets, you will understand."

Qin Zheng came over and knocked on the door: "Master, someone is here."

Is Zhang Ci's family here?The two rushed out to greet them.

There were several people sitting in the main room.An old woman couldn't help crying when she saw Zhang Ci: "Young master, I finally see you again." She hugged Zhang Ci as she spoke.

Zhang Ci's eyes were red.

The old woman only stopped crying for a while, and wiped away her tears with a distance, and saluted Chen Fanfu: "I have met Changping Township Lord, and the Township Lord laughed. The old slave Xu is the son's nanny, It's hard to restrain myself when I see the young master, and I lost my composure."

Chen Fan replied: "The nanny is well, my husband has been missing his family, seeing the nanny today, I will feel a lot of relief in my heart."

A capable man stepped forward to salute: "Subordinate Bai Ce, I have seen the Lord."

Bai Ce?That Bai Ce who stayed in the capital to arrange various affairs?

Two women saluted and introduced, one was Wei Jia and the other was Han Yu.

Are all here?
The others are the servants and coachmen who followed.

Bai Ce said: "The master asked all his subordinates to come and take care of the township lord and young master. There are other arrangements for Beijing-China affairs."
