The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 497
"Our family will return to Beijing to return to our mission, so don't disturb us." Manager Pang refused with a smile.

Qing Shu held Hao's hand in one hand, and made a lady's salute, "The little girl, Gu Qingshu, has met Manager Pang, and this is Gu Hao, her brother-in-law. Hao, meet Manager Pang soon."

Hao took a step back with anxiety on his face, hid half of his body behind Qingshu, then looked at Manager Pang with the cautious and curious eyes of a small animal, and said in a very low voice, "I have seen Manager Pang".

Manager Pang waved to Hao with a smile, "Come here, come to me, let our family take a good look at the adopted son that Lord Hou has adopted."

Like a frightened little rabbit, Hao hid behind Qingshu.

Qing Shu said "Don't be rude", then moved away, letting Hao step forward to stand in front of Manager Pang.Hao timidly glanced at Manager Pang, and then turned his gaze to Qingshu for help.

Manager Pang looked at Hao carefully, and then held Hao's hand.Noticing that Hao was trembling the moment he touched him, he asked in a coaxing tone, "How old is it?"

Hao lowered his head and answered in a low voice, "Nine years old."

Manager Pang didn't ask any more questions, just looked at him with a smile on his face for a moment, and then let go of his hand.

Haoru was pardoned, and quickly hid behind Qingshu, then sniffed, and called out to her sister in a low voice.

Qingshu faced Manager Pang with an embarrassed face, "Please forgive me, Manager Pang. He lost the protection of his parents since he was a child, and somehow he has developed such a timid and shy personality. The little girl begged Manager Pang to show his face, Come into the mansion for a cup of hot tea, what do you think?"

Zhou Boyan took it from the side, "Director Pang naturally wants to show respect, please."

"The kindness is hard to turn down, so I will disturb you."

In this way, Director Pang was invited by Zhou Boyan to drink tea in the front hall, and the two accompanying eunuchs and officials were entertained by the ancient housekeeper.

After Qingyang arranged the imperial decree and went back to the front, Qingshu handed Hao to him, and ordered the two of them to go to the front hall to accompany the guests.

Qing Shu couldn't go back to the inner courtyard, so she stayed in the east side hall in order to make it easier for people to find her.

Not long after, someone came to report, and Manager Pang was about to leave.Qing Shu hurriedly came out to see them off. Zhou Boyan, who was walking out with Manager Pang, saw him and gave Qing Shu a wink.Qing Shu didn't understand, and when he didn't know whether to step forward or retreat, Gu Shitou retreated to Qing Shu's side and told her in a low voice, "Please stay."

Although she didn't understand what was going on, Qing Shu saw Manager Pang looking back, and hurriedly stopped and performed a standard female salute.Manager Pang smiled, turned around and talked to Zhou Boyan while walking.

At this time, Gu Shitou leaned over to Qingshu again, "Boss Pang likes your red fruit very much, my son asked if you could let Boss Pang take some of them away?" He was afraid that Qingshu wouldn't know the importance of it, so he hurriedly added, "Bring it to the Holy One."

Qing Shu's heart skipped a beat, "Director Pang came here in a carriage?"

Gu Shitou was puzzled, but he answered truthfully, "Yes."

Qingshu paced a few steps on the spot, then stopped immediately, "Xiaojuan", pointing to the two large flower pots with thick openings in the front yard, "Quickly find someone to pull out the flowers inside, clear half of the soil " She looked around, and there were only two large flower pots, and the rest were normal-sized flower pots, but thinking of the second batch of red fruit seedlings she planted, she casually pointed to four flower pots, "Stone, pick four. It's a pleasing flower pot, the flowers have been pulled out, and the soil is half cleared, so hurry up." "Little fish, hurry up and get the shovel and send it to the vegetable bed."

More people do things faster.Not long after, Qingshu pointed out two short red fruit seedlings that were bearing fruit, and asked people to dig the soil and put them in two large flower pots.Cultivate the soil, water it, and let people use dry tree branches to make a support for it.

The second batch of red fruit seedlings grew almost three inches high.Qingshu asked people to dig more than 20 trees out of the soil, and put them in four ordinary flower pots, cultivated the soil, and poured an appropriate amount of water.

When everyone hurriedly sent out the prepared six pots of red fruits, Manager Pang was about to board the carriage that had just arrived.

"Wait a minute." Zhou Boyan called Director Pang to stop, and said with a smile, "The ancient mansion seems to have something good to give away."

Manager Pang turned his head and saw what was being moved out, "This is?"

"This is the red fruit that Ms. Kong donated seeds to Ms. Gu and planted by Ms. Gu herself."

The joy on Pang's face became even stronger, "This is Hongguo? Come on, come on, take over quickly, and arrange it properly, and there must be no mistakes."

So the pots were loaded with great care into the carriage.Gufu also took some wheat straw and put it between the flowerpots or under the flowerpots to prevent the flowerpots from being damaged during the bumps.

Just at this time, Qing Shu walked out of the house holding a small flower pot with a thick bowl mouth.Walking in front of Manager Pang, she bowed profusely and sent out the flower pots, "The six pots were given to the Holy Majesty. This pot was given to the manager by a little girl. I hope the manager will not dislike you."

"Hehe... It's too late for our family to rejoice, so how can we dislike it!" Director Pang respectfully took the flower pot with two seedlings from Qing Shu's hand without the eunuch next to him, "Thank you Miss Gu for the gift."

Qing Shu smiled and explained, "The two plants in the big pot have begun to bear fruit. You need to water them with an appropriate amount every day and keep the soil slightly moist. Besides, don't put them in a place where there is no light. They should be exposed to the sun often, so that the fruits can grow. It’s ripe. When the chief manager arrives in Beijing, if there is no accident, the fruit that has already borne will almost start to turn red. As for the seedlings in the small pots, they must be planted separately after arriving in Beijing. If they are too crowded, they will not grow big, and the fruit will not bear fruit. it is good."

Manager Pang took notes carefully before boarding the carriage and leaving.Zhou Boyan followed closely behind with his brocade-clothed guards and the official sent by the prefect Chen to escort Pang.

Xiao Zhixian and Yu Xianfu took their yamen servants to see them off outside the town, and then Xiao Zhixian returned to De County without stopping in Kangxi Town.

The imperial decree meeting in Kangxi Town is a once-in-a-century event for the people of Kangxi Town.People who witnessed this great event rushed back to gossip to others, and some came to congratulate the ancient mansion from time to time.After dealing with all the congratulatory people, not to mention the butler Gu and the servants who are working below, the three masters, Qing Shu, Qing Yang and Hao, are all exhausted, and they feel that their faces are going to freeze from laughing .

Everyone took a breath and hurriedly used their lunch, which was more than half an hour late.Qingshu returned to her boudoir, just about to lie down for a while, when Qingyang came.

"Sister, Brother Jia came here just now."

Qing Shu, who was leaning on the chair, sat upright, "Oh, did you say anything?"

"Brother Jia said congratulations, asked me to listen to my sister, and asked me to study hard. Brother Jia said that the only way to keep the door plaque of 'Zhongwuhou's Mansion' for a long time is for me to get a good name as soon as possible and make an indelible contribution." Only in this way can I hope to inherit the title of Marquis Zhongwu." After the decree was announced, the door plaque of the ancient mansion was changed from "Ancient Mansion" to "Marquis Zhongwu Mansion", which was still bestowed by the emperor.
