Man Bao got out, got on his horse and ran to the back to find Zhao Liulang and the others, "What refreshments do you want to have? We will go back and prepare them first. You will change your clothes and come over later, just in time."

Zhao Liulang and others, who had no intention of going back to change clothes, were stunned and asked: "What clothes should I change?"

Manbao looked at them with disgust and said, "All the posts for you have been sent to your homes, and you are planning to come to the door yourself, without bringing your wife?"

Two of them said: "We don't have a wife."

Man Bao: "Take your mother with me!"

Everyone was silent and could only nod in agreement, so after leaving the imperial city, everyone went back to their homes, planning to visit with their family members.

Man Bao and the others arrived on the street first. Ming Da and Chang Yu got out of the car, bringing only two guards and four maids with them. Then they took the carriage hired by Man Bao and went to Zhou's house in a low-key manner.

The main door of Zhou's house is open, and the side doors on both sides are also open, but the guests always enter through the main door.

Man Bao and the others sneaked to the east side door and slipped in from there.

Entering through the east side door and walking around a courtyard is where Mr. Zhuang lives and the large study room where they study. Further down is the backyard, where Mrs. Liu and the others live.

Man Bao asked Bai Shan and others to entertain the guests, while she took Ming Da and Chang Yu to play with Zheng.

Sure enough, Ms. Zheng was in the backyard, taking her servants to count the items on the list. When she saw them coming, she immediately stepped forward with a smile, first saluted Mingda Changyu, and then whispered: "I've asked people to decorate the greenhouse.

There's no one in the back garden right now, so go take a look and tell me what else is missing and I'll prepare it for you."

Man Bao happily agreed, pulled Ming Da and the others over to watch.

A lot of things have been moved away from the flower room, but there are only some flowers that are blooming well, and they are put in beautiful flower pots.

Ever since she knew that the princesses were going to attend the banquet secretly, Mrs. Zheng started to clean up.

The windows on both sides of the greenhouse were opened, and even the thatch on the roof to keep out the cold was removed, so sunlight was pouring in from the gaps in the roof.

The windows in the southeast direction were wide open, letting in a large amount of sunlight, which bathed the wooden benches placed on both sides.

It was the first time for Mingda and Changyu to see such a wild house. They happily picked up their skirts and ran in, "This is not your house. It is almost the same as Changxuan."

Mingda counted the windows and said happily: "She has eight windows on this side. Isn't it almost the same as the open house? How can we make a greenhouse in winter like this?"

Man Bao said: "In winter, the windows are not only closed, but the gaps are blocked with thatch outside. There is a place for burning a fire in this house. You see, that is the chimney. After the fire is lit, the house is warm, but the smoke penetrates through there."

Mingda: "It's almost the same as the flower room in the palace, except that one side of the flower room in the palace is made of colored glass, which allows sunlight to pass through and keeps warm."

Man Bao was speechless, "The cost is too high."

Chang Yu asked curiously: "What good flowers do you grow at home?"

"Is this the flower room? There are just a few pots of peonies and orchids. Apart from a little trouble and some firewood, everything else is fine."

Aunt Zheng, like her, also likes flowers and plants, but she likes to dig them, while Aunt Zheng likes to plant them.

She built this greenhouse by herself when she was bored. She designed the house by herself and opened a few extra windows. She thought that if the greenhouse failed to be completed in the end, she would open the windows and tear down the wooden wall on the other side to create a verandah.

, from here you can see the lake and the plum blossoms on the other side, which is quite wild and interesting.

Zheng always has her own unique views on beauty.

Mingda clearly understands Zheng's definition of beauty and thinks this place is excellent. The most important thing is that its location is also wonderful. It is in a corner of the back garden, with a lake not far in front and a plum grove on the other side.

, Merlin walked a little further and found the Changxuan they were familiar with before.

Most of the guests who come to Zhou's house are active in that area.

They are here, because they are separated by a lake and a plum forest, so it is basically difficult to find them.

There is only one path out from here, and Manbao has set up a sign in front of the path to prohibit outsiders from entering or exiting.

Otherwise, the only way to get here is by boat from the lake.

But Manbao towed away the boat, so Mingda and the others are absolutely safe here.

The guard guarding outside the window listened to Zhou Man's proud show off and was speechless for a long time. What on earth is worth showing off?

Mingda and Changyu were very happy. They felt that as long as they could leave the palace, even just sitting quietly and looking at the flowers, plants and trees would be a happy thing.

So Mingda happily pushed Manbao: "Go and entertain the guests. There are many people here for you today."

Manbao hesitated for a moment and then said: "Then you wait, we will let my niece accompany you."

Changyu's eyes lit up, "Let your second niece come."

Man Bao was amused, but he still nodded, "Okay, I'll ask Li Jun and Li Ru to come."

Zhou Lijun is not very busy, because she has many aunts, and all the things that should be prepared in the early stage are ready. Today, the main thing is to keep an eye on the kitchen to prevent anything from happening. There are so many wives in the old Zhou family, so basically one person can just keep an eye on the same errand.

As long as a person is responsible for the task at hand, there will be no problem at all.

As for the front yard, it was naturally Man Bao and the others who greeted us.

Bai Dalang and Zhou Dalang were also helping in the front. Man Bao brought Zhou Lizhong's nephews to the front and called Zhou Wulang, "Fifth brother, you can also help to greet the guests."

So no matter how many guests came in, one person would take their entire family, and they would be immediately sent to their place at the back. After they were served, they would greet them a few times before coming back up, so there was an endless stream, and every guest was personally greeted by the host.

It simply made them feel the greatest respect.

Master Wei also came with his wife and young son. Manbao took Bai Erlang to entertain him personally. Why Bai Erlang?

Because, "You are brother-in-law. You can talk more later. By the way, you can also quietly take him to the flower house for a walk. Quietly, you must avoid Mr. Wei."

If Mr. Wei knew that the princesses came here after leaving the palace, he would definitely scold the emperor.

Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly, so Bai Erlang took Wei Yu away. Man Bao invited Mrs. Wei to the backyard, while Bai Shan, holding back his laughter, invited Wei Zhi to sit down.

Wei Zhi looked at Bai Shan and said with a smile: "I heard someone said that you went to the Ministry of Personnel today to choose an official position?"

Bai Shan's smile faded a little, and he said bitterly: "It's only been less than two hours and it has already reached your ears?"

Wei Zhi smiled and said: "It's not a secret. This kind of news spreads the fastest in the imperial city."

Wei Zhi looked at his expression and advised with a smile: "Young man, although the sky is vast, you must have enough feathers on your wings and spread them out wide enough to fly high, otherwise you will easily fall. You

, I have to polish it again, hahaha..."
