In order to facilitate transportation, the plum trees are kept in flower pots. The flower pots are only one person tall, but it can be seen that they have been carefully pruned and maintained. The curvature of the branches looks like a carefully carved beauty, not to mention Talk about the flowers that look like jade sculptures.Lu Hanzhi was not a plum lover, and his love for plum trees was no different from other beautiful flowers, but he had to admire these two plum trees.

Two large flowerpots took up space. Cheng Junze asked people to move the plum tree to a place out of the way. When he saw Lu Hanzhi reaching out to touch the petals, he came closer to smell the plum fragrance. He was about to say that he would look for some good plum trees next time, so he listened to Lu Hanzhi. He said: "When spring comes, let the gardener from the mansion come and plant the flowers on the ground!"

The plum trees that King Wu presented to the emperor were certainly not ordinary ones. They said they were just specialties and not something valuable. But from these two plum trees, it can be imagined that these plum trees are probably not cheap.Plum trees are not cheap, and the flower pots holding them are also gorgeously decorated. Lu Hanzhi doesn't know much about raising plum trees, but he also knows that without professional maintenance, it would be difficult to maintain the beauty of the plum tree.

Lu Hanzhi felt that the prince gave the plum tree to Cheng Junze on the one hand to show his closeness, but on the other hand he didn't take the plum tree too seriously.And when they got the plum trees, they wouldn't hire someone to take care of them. If they wanted the plum trees to live a few more years and grow better, it would be better to move them to the ground and plant them!
"If you plant it on the ground, it won't look as good as it does now!" Cheng Junze doesn't know how to grow flowers, but he has also seen plum trees growing on their own in the mountains. The trees grow tall and the flowers bloom as usual, but they are obviously not as carefully maintained as this one. Every petal is crystal clear and beautiful, even people who don’t understand flowers find it beautiful.

Lu Hanzhi smiled and said: "As you said, King Wu also hired a maid to grow flowers. We can't find a gardener to grow flowers just for these two flowers. No matter how big the flower pot is, it will be better for one flower. The tree is also too small. If no one cares for it carefully, not to mention how beautiful the flowers bloom, the plum tree will die in a year or two. And when planted on the ground, it probably won't be as delicate and beautiful as this, but Trees grow on the ground, and they always have the instinct to grow and bloom, not to mention such beautiful flowers, but they are not as delicate and beautiful as they are now, how could they be so ugly!"

"Ahan is right!" Cheng Junze nodded and added, "It's cold today and the flowers are in bloom. If they move, I'm afraid the flowers and trees won't be able to survive. It's better to wait until the weather gets warmer the next year."

Lu Hanzhi nodded and said, "Yes, we have to wait until spring begins."

The two of them looked at the plum trees in the yard and then entered the house together. The wet nurse came over with Brother Chen in her arms and said, "Young Master just woke up. He cried once when he couldn't see Grandma, and he's feeling better now."

Lu Hanzhi took the child over, listened to the nanny's words, nodded and said: "Brother Chen is a good boy. My eldest sister mentioned earlier that the one in her family kept crying when he didn't see her. By the way, it's cold now. Those who take care of Brother Chen should also pay attention. If he is sick, he should go back to recuperate first and come back when he is well."

Children are weak and more likely to get sick during the cold winter months, so it is better to be more careful.The nanny has the heavy responsibility of taking care of the child, and is even more afraid of the child getting sick. After hearing this, she nodded repeatedly and said: "Grandma, don't worry, all the servants know it. It's been cold recently, and there are some cold and sick people in the yard. They all came back after being nursed. Yes. Yes, today the pharmacy sent medicine to prevent wind and cold. It was said that Madam ordered it to be sent to various hospitals."

This is the custom of the Duke's office. It's cold in winter and there are many people who get cold and sick. Every year, the government doctor is asked to prescribe prescriptions and send them to various hospitals.The masters have thick clothes in winter, and there is a charcoal fire in the house. It won't be too cold if they don't go out, but the servants have to do things, and it is common to catch cold and get sick. Outside, there are also people who freeze to death every year due to lack of medical treatment. . "The medicine has just been delivered, and the servant has already ordered the medicine to be boiled in the small kitchen. By the way, Madam sent a message that the medicine will be used to make porridge in a few days, and she asked the grandma to go over and discuss the regulations when she has free time." Bi He always said It was safe, she wrote down all the messages Zheng asked her to send, and only waited for Lu Hanzhi to come back to inform Lu Hanzhi of his decision.

This is a common practice. Lu Hanzhi experienced it last year. He nodded and said, "I understand. Distribute the medicine when it's ready. I'll go over to my mother's side later."

Every winter when the weather is cold, various families offer porridge and other services, and sometimes there are government organizations. Naturally, a wealthy family like the Cheng family has to respond.Considering that many people get sick due to cold in winter, the Cheng family will also arrange for government doctors to diagnose people and provide them with some medicinal materials.Hearing this, Cheng Junze nodded and said, "I heard that the Crown Princess will also go this year."

"I haven't heard of a snowstorm this year, so why does the Crown Princess want to go?" Lu Hanzhi was a little surprised.The royal family also needs the support of the people, so the royal family will also provide money for soup porridge in winter, and many times they have to take the lead.Of course, the royal family usually does not come forward in person, especially the emperor and prince, unless there is a disaster and the royal family needs to come out in person to appease the people.Winter is naturally cold, but there were no snow disasters this year. However, whether in the capital or elsewhere, there are always poor people, and there are always people who are struggling to survive the winter for various reasons and need relief.

"I heard that the fourth princess said that the royal family should set an example, so she proposed to give porridge in person." Cheng Junze thought of the prince's expression. It was obvious that the prince's family had not planned to do this. "The Queen Mother has always believed in Buddhism. After hearing this proposal I thought it was good, and I originally wanted to come forward to deliver the porridge myself, but the Queen and the Crown Princess persuaded me to do so, and the Crown Princess and the Fourth Princess came forward."

The fourth prince had just married at the beginning of the year, and the fourth prince's concubine was the youngest daughter of the Minister of Rites. Thinking back, Lu Hanzhi sighed: "It turns out to be her! That's not surprising."

The Minister of Rites is about the same age as Taifu Lu, but his youngest daughter is one year younger than Lu Hanzhi. He is almost 50 years old and has such a precious daughter, so naturally he raises her like the apple of his eye.Her parents pampered her, her brothers and sisters loved her, and her nephews and nieces had to support her. It was not surprising that she was raised to be arrogant and willful.Lu Hanzhi had been in contact with the fourth prince's concubine a few times, but could not be considered to be on good terms with her. In other words, everyone he knew stayed away from this girl.

Lu Hanzhi thought of Taifu Lu's birthday two years ago, when the fourth prince and his wife went to pay homage to him with his mother. At that time, Lu Hanzhi and Lu Hanzhi were not married yet. She didn't know what made the other party unhappy, so he dragged her to compete in calligraphy and painting. From poetry to playing the piano, Lu Hanzhi's reputation for talent came out before she got married. God knows how much she wanted to be a vase in obscurity until she was old enough to get married.

"I heard before that the Fourth Princess is pregnant. It's not good to go and do this at this time!" Lu Hanzhi knew that this man liked to show off, but for someone who was about to become a mother, the child was more important!
