Chapter 845

Wei Ting ran back home with two pots of white peonies. As soon as he entered the door, he went to his grandmother and mother happily and gave each of them a pot.

Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei were both very happy. Looking at the flowers brought to them, they couldn't help but hold Wei Ting's hand and praise: "You still know how to honor us."

Master Wei came over and heard it, frowned slightly, and asked: "Today is neither a holiday nor a holiday, why are you coming home?"

Wei Ting froze, and then he remembered that he had climbed over the wall.

However, Wei Ting was used to playing truant, so he kept his face straight and lied: "I learned from my classmate that there were pure white peonies outside. I thought my grandmother and mother would like them, so I took a half-day leave from school.

Come out and go back to school tomorrow."

Mr. Wei also had experience in dealing with truancy. He squinted his eyes and asked, "Really? You have to do your extracurricular homework well. Come here, go to Mr. Zhai's house and ask what the young master will give you today."

What is the homework assigned?"

Wei Ting's feet became weak, so he limped to school the next day.

Bai Shanye had just arrived at school and put down his book basket. When he looked up and saw him limping in with gritted teeth, he smiled and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Wei Ting sighed and said, "I got carried away yesterday and forgot that I skipped school. Alas, why didn't you remind me?"

Bai Shan said calmly: "We also forgot."

Wei Ting had no doubt at all and sighed, "Yesterday my father sent someone to tell Mr. Zhai that I will be punished by Mr. Zhai soon."

Ji Hao couldn't help but ask: "What did you do when you went out to study yesterday?"

"I went to see Manbao's peonies," Wei Ting expressed regret to him, "It's a pity that you left too early yesterday, otherwise you should really go and take a look. Her peonies are really good."

Ji Hao raised his heart and asked, "Did you buy it?"

Wei Ting nodded, "I bought it. I bought two pots of white peonies."

Ji Hao breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is Yao Huang and Wei Zi still there?"

"Of course, those flowers are so expensive, how can we afford them, but I told my grandmother that she is very interested and said she would go and take a look today." Wei Ting said: "Those two pots of flowers are indeed the same.

OK, does your mother want to go and see it?"

Ji Hao was silent for a moment.

His mother is also very interested, but I'm afraid she won't go there in person. Instead, she will send a nanny to get it.

Ji Hao rubbed his forehead and asked Wei Ting, "Can't you give the flowers to my mother?"

Wei Ting frowned and said, "This is a matter for the adults. How can we juniors get involved and let the one with the highest price get it?"

He doesn't care, so what does he care about?

Ji Hao said nothing.

The two of them didn't know that Mrs. Ji Er and Mrs. Wei were not the only ones who wanted to buy these two pots of flowers. Man Bao went out to the drug store early in the morning. After finishing the affairs at the drug store, he went back to class.

When it was time for him to finish school at his home school, Man Bao asked Zhou Lang to go out with a pot of white peonies.

Daji asked, "Miss Man, won't you go to school today?"

Man Bao: "I won't go. Today we are going to the county government office."

Man Bao went to deliver flowers to Mrs. Tang. Although she prefers orchids, it doesn't mean she doesn't like peonies.

When Mrs. Tang saw this pot of white peonies that was in excellent condition, she smiled and did not accept it, "Man Bao, you and my husband are friends. If you need anything, just tell me. I will help you if I can. No need.

Such a great gift."

Man Bao smiled and said: "This pot of flowers is not very valuable, it is only worth sixteen taels. If Mrs. Tang thinks it is valuable, just give me sixteen taels."

Mrs. Tang didn't believe it. She came from Chang'an, where peonies flourished, so she naturally knew how much peonies with this appearance were worth.

"How is it possible that it's only sixteen taels?"

Man Bao said: "The first pot of flowers was sold for sixteen taels and three cents, and the rest are only worth sixteen taels."

Mrs. Tang blinked and asked: "Who bought the first pot of flowers? From what you say, you still have a lot of white peonies on hand?"

Man Bao smiled and said: "I have a total of twenty-two pots, one pot is kept at home, and the remaining twenty-one pots are sold out."

Mrs. Tang finally believed that she had only priced the flower at sixteen taels. She asked with a smile, "Then why did you come to me this time?"

"I would like to ask Mrs. Tang to come forward and invite Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Ming. I still have two pots of Yao, Huang and Wei Zi at home. I don't know if they are interested." Man Bao said: "The Ji family and the Wei family already want them.

Come and take a look.”

Mrs. Tang was surprised, "Are you trying to..."

"I would like to ask the ladies to enjoy these pots of flowers first. Good flowers naturally deserve those who love flowers."

Mrs. Tang smiled and said: "You are quite courageous. You dare to invite so many ladies to your door at once. That's fine. Then I will hold a banquet at Ganxiang Tower. I might as well send an invitation to invite the four ladies to come and have a look. However, in this way,

Come on, your pot of flowers will appear to be missing."

Man Bao nodded, "The flowers should also be in pairs. I will ask my fourth brother to send another similar pot of white peonies soon. Madam will look more pleasing to the eye."

Mrs. Tang couldn't help but laugh. She liked talking to smart people the most.

Man Bao actually asked Zhou Lang to send another pot of white peonies. Now two pots of peonies were placed on the porch of their home. When Magistrate Tang came back from the former Yamen for dinner, he saw it and couldn't help but stop and admire it.

He smiled and asked: "Madam, where did you buy these two pots of flowers?"

Mrs. Tang smiled, "What do you think?"

"Chang'an?"

Mrs. Tang shook her head.

Magistrate Tang laughed and said: "It can't be Luoyang, right? You sent people to Luoyang?"

Mrs. Tang glanced at him and said, "Am I so unreliable? I sent someone all the way to Luoyang just to buy potted flowers."

Magistrate Tang smiled and said: "Of course Madam would not be like this, so I am curious about where Madam bought these flowers."

"Your little friend sent it." Jiang Manbao wanted to sell flowers and there were two pots of Yao Huang Wei Zi at home.

Magistrate Tang was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Zhou Man? Are you sure it's her who wants to sell flowers?"

"Can I still not recognize her?" Mrs. Tang said: "I thought she was good at raising orchids, but I didn't expect that she was also good at raising peonies."

Magistrate Tang was puzzled as to why she was now interested in selling flowers.

Mrs. Tang didn't think much about it and told her that she wanted to help her match up, "I think your little friend is quite interesting."

Magistrate Tang came to his senses and said with a smile: "It's rare for someone to be able to talk to you, so you should get along well."

At this time, Man Bao in the small courtyard sent the Ji family and Wei family away. Both families sent stewards to look at the flowers and prepared money to buy them back, but unexpectedly Man Bao refused.

The Ji family was okay, after all, Man Bao still had some friendship with their family, but the manager of the Wei family didn't look very good.

However, they did not dare to say anything in front of the Ji family. They said goodbye to Man Bao with a smile, got in the car and left.

Bai Shanzhi glanced at their backs and said to Man Bao: "Let Mrs. Tang set the time for the day after tomorrow. I will take a break and go with you."
