Chapter 55 Rewards
Ma looked so funny. It was rare to see that this child had a preference for anything. Since he came to the Hou Mansion, he had never seen Zilan be particularly interested in anything. It was only fragrant, but it was also the stage of memorizing fragrance scores and identifying spices. There is no question of loving it.
"Do you just like that?"
"Well, I especially like it. Every flower can be used to make fragrance. Although camellias are not blooming, they can be used to make balm when they bloom next year. I can make this."
"Oh, right?"
Ma remembered it.
"Yes, use lard as a balm to wipe your hands and your hands will not crack in winter. You can also make lipstick to wipe your mouth to avoid cleft lips."
Zi Lan said that the incense is as clear as a family, with a confident look bursting out in her eyes, and the bright apricot kernel eyes are lively and dazzling, which is very attractive.
"Oh, my aunt is waiting for your good things."
Ma Qian smiled loudly.
"Okay, I will definitely deliver it to my aunt when I'm done."
"Okay, good girl."
When he returned to Hou Mansion Zilan, he personally explained, "Muxiang, please help me take care of this camellia, which was given to me by the old lady. You can't raise it to me to death."
"Don't worry, Miss, I will check it out regularly and explain to the good gardener."
Muxiang quickly took it over and responded.
"Um."
Zi Lan nodded with satisfaction.
The old lady immediately smiled, "Get water and wash your hands for the girls. Are you having fun today? The old lady also gave you camellia."
"Yes, the old lady gave me it. It's white. It will definitely be very fragrant and beautiful when it blooms."
One important reason why Zilan likes fragrance is that it is beautiful fragrance, and the mood of waiting for the blossom is also looking forward to a beautiful process.
Seeing all kinds of flowers turning into fragrances in your hands forever preserved, this is a full sense of accomplishment. When you are in the ocean of flowers, your sense of happiness will greatly improve and your mood will be much more beautiful.
"I am so good at young Guaiguai. Let the people below take good care of you, so don't raise your child to death."
The old lady specifically told me that if the child is raised to death, she will definitely not be happy to cry.
"yes."
"Grandma, I've seen lotus flowers today. The lotus flowers in Ma's garden are so beautiful. I plan to draw them down for my father to show them."
"Is that right? OK, just draw it if you like it."
The old lady smiled and nodded, and asked someone to bring refreshments to the two children to cushion their stomachs.
Song Zhengtian has already gone to the department to report and has been busy adapting for a while. It seems that he is adapting well at the moment. I haven't seen him showing an unhappy expression. He is energetic and happy to go to and from get off work every day.
Zilan's current routine is very regular. He goes to and from school every day, and also learns etiquette, skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to cultivate his sentiment.
She likes to draw, learn the most attentively, practice calligraphy the most diligently, and learn the most perfunctory chess, but her level is OK, and the piano is just average.
The painter often gives her some paintings to copy. This is a stage of learning painting. Feel everyone's level and style, so that she can also improve and improve her horizons and levels.
Zilan likes to draw but does not ask for excellence, but just to cultivate a hobby. He has learned chess and guqin before, and he has always been able to meet people. He focuses more on learning, painting, and etiquette.
Song Zhengtian came back early today. He stood behind his daughter and watched her draw lotus flowers. He looked a little bit and nodded slightly.
When Zi Lan heard the movement, she turned around and found that it was her father. She immediately smiled, "Dad, look, this is the lotus I saw at the Ma family."
"Well, the drawing is good. It seems that you have not been lazy these days and have studied seriously. It's good."
Song Zhengtian felt his daughter's leisurely and happy mood from the painting, which raised the level of this painting a lot. Although the painting skills still need to be improved, the artistic conception is very good.
"Dad, are you busy in the department? Are you tired? Are you getting along well with everyone?"
Zilan pulled his father's sleeve and shook him to care whether his father was excluded.
"Why are you worried about me? The Ministry of Revenue has your grandfather's former colleagues and friends, and you take good care of me. There is nothing wrong with it. Everything is fine. I'll take you to the shop we bought tomorrow to have fun at the house I bought for a day?"
"Really, it's great. How can my brother go there too? He is getting busy with studying and meeting every day is in a hurry. Brother is so hard."
As he grew older, Zi Yan became more and more steady and busy. Zi Lan also clearly felt that the imperial examinations in this era were very cruel. Zi Yan was so busy as if he was so young.
In addition to daily knowledge, you also need to learn the Six Arts of Gentlemen. Now you can practice martial arts by riding horses and shooting archery, which almost takes up all your time in Zi Yan. You can only see your brother during your greetings and dinner every day.
After dinner, Ziyan was still interned by his father's school entrance examination and soaked in a medicinal bath. He was so busy that he was flying.
"Well, let's do it. Since you pleaded with your brother, I'll take them to the farm to play for a day tomorrow."
Song Zhengtian considered that the children have learned a lot these days and have never slacked off. It is okay to take them to play for a day and loosen them. Is it a combination of work and rest?
"Thank you dad."
Zi Lan turned around happily and ran away.
"What are you doing?"
"I'll tell my brothers that I can go out to play tomorrow."
Zi Lan ran to the front yard without looking back.
"Brother, brother, I have good news to tell you."
It was already afternoon, and the four children were practicing basic horse stance. The gate of the courtyard was locked, with the purpose of not allowing female relatives to enter. One was to sweat and it would be inconvenient to take off clothes, and the other was to prohibit female relatives from being soft-hearted and affecting Master Wu's teachings.
So Zilan could only shout loudly at the door of the yard.
Master Wu is a general of the Yang family. He retired from cultivation because of injury. There is no major war at present. He came to the mansion to teach the young masters martial arts and earn some money from the family.
Mr. Yang had his own military soldiers, which was a signal that the generals were in power. Those who did not have military soldiers were listed in second-rate families.
Most of the soldiers in the palace would not stay in the capital, and they were stationed in large camps outside the city. They would not be allowed to enter the capital without being recruited. Otherwise, a large number of soldiers in the capital would be scary and the emperor would be afraid.
So after the war, the soldiers of the government returned to their respective homes all the way. After waiting for the achievements of the generals of the Ministry of War to sort out the achievements, they would be rewarded regularly. Generally speaking, before returning home, the commander and generals would first distribute some stolen gold, silver and jewelry for the soldiers to use for household use, which is also considered a reward.
The rewards from the Ministry of War are far less than those given by the commander. They are usually promoted according to their merits, and the official position is something that only the emperor can give.
Therefore, there are only a few people who can follow the capital in the end, and they are usually military generals, and they are loyal and loyal people.
The Yang family and the Lin family who were visiting before were both families with family members, and first-class and top families trusted by the emperor.
Master Wu heard Zi Lan's crisp shouting, and saw that several children had already started looking around, and smiled and said, "Okay, take a break, go to the door to talk, don't let anyone in, the female family came in and saw that we were sweating so badly."
"Yes, thank you Master."
"Sister, what good news is it?"
Zi Yan ran to the door like a flying, looked out through the crack of the door, and talked to Zi Lan.
