Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

Mr. Wen looked familiar and asked, "Is this the guard of the Hou Mansion?"

Li Lao Er smiled and nodded, "Yes, I was looking through the roster the day before yesterday, and suddenly remembered that there are too many famous flowers here, and I was afraid of offending Xiaoxiao, so I went to the Hou's Mansion to discuss with the housekeeper, and temporarily invited some helpers. Unexpectedly, it really came in handy!"

Mr. Wen could hear clearly, but he didn't believe a word.

After all, the person who kept him up for half the night was waiting for this moment, so it couldn't be a temporary idea? !

The second brother Li smiled, and regardless of what he thought, he directly instructed a few guards, "Brothers, please ask me, whose family are these people, and why did they come here in the middle of the night?"

"Yes, don't worry, Uncle, we will keep it for you and ask you clearly!" The leading guard replied.

Then I asked the old man Cao to find an empty room, and brought the man in black in...

Li Lao Er and Mr. Wen only drank a bowl of tea and ate a few pieces of snacks for supper, and finally came out.

The leading guard came to report, "Uncle, these people are the guards of the Wang family, and they all carry scissors and sickles on their bodies, just to come in and destroy all the famous flowers. I don't want the Hundred Gardens to open smoothly tomorrow."

Mr. Wen frowned, "The Wang family is really calculating, but the manpower they selected is too poor..."

The leading guard explained: "My lord Wen doesn't know, these people are all kung fu, if they are not prepared, it is very easy for them to enter the yard to destroy and then retreat.

"But the yard has not been guarded before, and we have been hiding in the dark. They found nothing when they came to inquire beforehand, so they let down their vigilance, so we took it down so easily."

Second Li nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. Take good care of these people so they don't die. Keep the scissors and sickles. Their masters may come over tomorrow, and I will return them to their original owners."

The guard understood and withdrew.

Li Er Er told old man Cao, "Prepare some food for the guards, after all they have to guard half the night, don't stay up late hungry."

"Yes, my boss!" Old Man Cao responded immediately.

Remembering that the flowers in the yard were almost ruined, old man Cao's back was in a cold sweat.

He is 1 grateful to these guards who protected his "darling".

Immediately, he helped to light the fire, let the old woman roll out the noodles and cook the noodles, and cut up the bacon brought by relatives from their hometown, mixed with chopped beans, and fried the toppings.

The guards had enough to eat, and asked the Cao family to go to sleep quickly, and then continued to guard the peace of Baihuayuan.

In the early morning of the second day, as soon as it was dawn, old man Cao got up, looked at the inside and outside of the courtyard, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

"These damn things, my roses, several of them have been trampled off!"

Finally, he called his son again, quickly took the ladder, and rearranged the rose vines.

So, when passers-by walked by, what they saw was the brilliant flowers on the wall again.

At three poles in the sun, Mrs. Li was the first to arrive in a carriage with Tao Hongying and Jiayin.

Today are all male customers, it is not convenient for them to come here.

But Jiayin wants to join in the fun, almost all the flowers here are from her hands, how can she be absent when it opens? !

So, Li Er Er put them in the west room of the main house in the backyard.

The room is spacious, and there is a kang, which is convenient for taking a nap when you are tired.

Moreover, there is a small door leading to the side room, so it is easy for the Cao family to come in and out to serve.

He Nanny and Shuiyun Shuiling, of course, also followed.

Nanny He stayed in the room, while Shui Ling and Shui Yun helped Cao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law take care of tea and snacks for the guests.

Soon, the first customers arrived.

It was Dean Zhou, Mr. Peng and Mr. Tang, who brought a few gentlemen from the academy who had no classes today, plus their accompanying book boys, a mighty dozen or so people, and immediately made the small courtyard lively.

Li Laoer stepped on the auspicious time and asked old man Cao to set off a firecracker outside the gate, which was a celebration of the opening, very low-key and unassuming.

But the outer skin of the firecrackers shattered, and fell like red snowflakes in front of the door and under the wall. Against the roses on the wall, there was a different kind of beauty.

This made the flower appreciators who came one after another feel amazed before entering the door.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and the embodiment of beauty in plants falls on flowers!

In the midst of flowers, even the hardest-hearted person will inevitably smile and relax.

The visitors included colleagues from the court and China, famous officials who love flowers in Xindu, gentlemen from the Academy, and even groups of relatives and friends of the Li family like Mrs. Liu and Liu Zhiheng.

There are so many distinguished guests who have received the invitation post, and idlers who have not received the invitation post but also come to join in the fun, there are a hundred or ten people together.

It is not a small project for so many people to drink tea, eat snacks, and cut jasper melons.

Nanny He soon went out to help, and together with Zheng Feng and Zheng He, they could barely take care of them.

Li Lao Er simply asked people to fill up the chairs under the eaves of the corridor, and parasols like the canteen of the academy had been planted everywhere in the courtyard.

In this way, the guests each choose their familiar friends to sit down together, enjoy the wind, eat melons, and enjoy the flowers. It is really very comfortable!

Li Laoer let everyone wander around and took a good look at the potted flowers in the courtyard. Then he stood in front of the steps, smiled and clasped his hands with everyone and said, "Dear guests, there were often famous flowers displayed in my brother's restaurant before. Many friends have complained to me and have no chance to appreciate it.

"So, I thought about such a place, full of flowers, please enjoy it, and no one will say that our family is stingy in the future? I am really relieved!"

Everyone also laughed and bowed their hands in return.

Li Laoer smiled and said: "However, this is a business after all, and I still hope that the business will prosper. Everyone is happy to see it. If you want to take your favorite flowers home, you can enjoy them all the time. You still have to give money." Yes, and the more the better!"

This time the crowd laughed even louder.

It stands to reason that merchants who seek profit always bring shrewd calculations, which is not flattering.

But Li Laoer put it so clearly and plainly, it was magnanimous.

Li Lao Er pointed to a pot of rhododendrons in full bloom in front of him, and said: "Everyone knows that our family is blessed with the emperor's grace, and we have a place like Suijintan. Now we have no worries about food and clothing.

"Our whole family is extremely grateful to the emperor and Tianwu, so we often think about it, and want to repay it with our meager strength.

"This time, when Hundred Gardens opened, our family made a rule that half of the income from Hundred Gardens will be donated to charity.

"Take this pot of rhododendron as an example. If you sell it for ten taels of silver, then five taels of it will be counted as capital, and the remaining five taels will be taken out and exchanged for food, clothing and medicinal materials, and sent to the relief agency to relieve the elderly, weak and sick." Disabled, to reduce the burden on the court.

"So, the famous flowers here, everyone has a fancy, you don't have to buy them with money, you can also exchange them with grain, cotton, medicinal seedlings and medicinal roots! In short, as long as we take out what we need , you can exchange the flowers..."

The third watch is here~~
