"The flower shop has also prepared a lottery event today. The first prize is this pot of Yao Huang peony. If Mr. Zhou likes it, why not try his luck?" He Ze glanced at the numbers posted on the potted plant and handed it to Zhou Wenda.

"Shopkeeper He is such a big deal!"

Zhou Wenda had already read the flyer before coming. He naturally knew that the first prize was Yao Huang Mudan, but he was worried. Now that he really saw Yao Huang Mudan, he heard He Ze reiterate this matter. In addition to being surprised, he was inevitably moved.

A Yaohuang peony plant, if it were in the capital, it would be fine without a thousand taels of silver. The year he took the scientific expedition, he saw one at a banquet of a second-rank official. It is said to be worth three thousand taels. If it were not for the aristocratic families, he would not be able to buy it. And the appearance of the plant in front of him is no worse than what he remembers. Even the fragrance of flowers is even better than that of a slightest. It is really rare!

Thinking of this, Zhou Wenda no longer refused, "Since the young boss said that, I'll join in the fun too."

The middle-aged scholar standing behind him took off the purse at his waist and handed it to He Ze ten cents. The latter reached out to take it with a calm expression.

Zhou Wendaduo glanced at him.

He Ze seemed to have not realized it, and he bowed his hand and said, "Mr. Zhou's fortune will last for a long time, and everything he wishes will come true."

"Then... I'll borrow Ji Yan from the shopkeeper, haha."

Zhou Wenda laughed and turned his attention to the two pots of peonies in front of him. He talked to the middle-aged people around him from time to time, and his praise was beyond words.

Luo Zhanming felt bored, so he said hello and walked around himself. He Ze stood quietly aside, occasionally echoing a few words, neither looking dull nor annoying.

After more than half an hour, Zhou Wenda's desire to watch was temporarily satisfied.

He Ze led him around the shop again, and during this period he saw many famous camellia roses, including late plums, crabapples, lilacs and other slightly more ordinary ones, but they all grew up happily and had a beautiful mood, making people forget the customs.

Before the tour was finished, the potted plant purchase craze in front had entered a white-hot stage. The crowd was noisy, and everyone pushed and squeezed. At first glance, there were all people. He Dalang and Zhao Cheng were very busy.

But in a moment, the last pot of the pot was held tightly in his arms by a thin man, looking at it as if he was afraid that someone would rob him.

He An ran over and called He Ze.

"Mr. Zhou..."

"Haha, Brother He just needs to go and do something!"

Seeing that he was polite, Zhou Wenda became more kind and turned around and asked the middle-aged man to call Luo Zhanming over, and followed He Ze together, but did not approach.

At this time, at the door of the flower shop, Mr. He was telling everyone the lottery rules.

It's very simple. In order to ensure the fairness of the lottery, He Zehui and Mr. Cai wrote down one to three hundred numbers in public, kneaded them into a ball and put them in a wooden box, and drew them three times, and the third prize, second prize, and first prize in sequence.

Cai Qing was responsible for the first 150 numbers and He Ze was responsible for the last 150 numbers. When he was writing the 221st, the petals of Yao Huang peony in the flower shop trembled slightly, and a wisp of energy was attached to the paper.

It is not a secret that Zhou County Magistrate loves flowers. In fact, he thought about this line when he was planning to open the flower shop long before Luo Zhanming. However, he thought it simple and rough at that time, and directly sent a pot of famous flowers to the county Magistrate's mansion, and was thinking of bribery directly.

But after some understanding, He Ze discovered that the magistrate Zhou had a very good reputation in the market, honest and upright, and loved the people as much as his son. Even if there was an exaggeration in business, it was not difficult to see that this Lord Zhou was very popular with the people.

Originally, this plan could only be invalidated, but after that, He Ze thought of letting things go. After all, after knowing that this parent official was still reliable, he was a little worried. But he didn't expect that someone would send a pillow when he was about to come. Based on the principle of shameful waste, now it is the best time to take Zhou Wenda's line.

If you sell well, you need to have skills.

With the final stroke completed, Lin Yu took it and blew it, then kneaded it into a small ball, and threw it into the wooden box in front of everyone. At this time, Cai Qing finished writing.

The noise in the crowd became louder and louder, and He Youcai quickly howled: "Sujing! Sujing!"

The prize was drawn by He Ze, but he didn't expect that the first time he won the prize was an acquaintance.

"No. 157, third prize." He Ze unfolded the paper in his hand and held it in front of him, repeating it three times in succession.

"One hundred and fifty-seven, I'm one hundred and fifty-four, and I'm just three numbers away!"

"One hundred and fifty-seven, who is one hundred and fifty-seven? I bought three basins but failed. Who is so lucky!"

"The third prize is a soft and fragrant red plant. Mr. Cai has said it before, the market price is less than 30 taels! This person is going to get rich!"

...

There were some loss or jealous discussions one after another. Guan Du finally squeezed out of the crowd with a potted plant in his arms, with a rare excitement on his face: "Brother He."

"Brother Guan."

This is really a coincidence.

Judging from the original owner's memory, there were only a few classmates in the academy that made He Ze feel better, and he had the deepest impression of Guan Du from the last Lantern Festival.

This person is a bit arrogant, but also has real talent and knowledge. He is in a difficult situation but does not complain about himself. He is talented and willing to work hard. He knows how to adapt and has principles. The most important thing is to have ambition.

If you want to say what’s wrong, it’s probably fate?

The original owner heard several talks in the academy. It is said that Guandu's family was originally a landlord who was not big or small in a nearby town. Not to mention wealth, small wealth is still considered a good thing. Unfortunately, there was an unexpected situation in the world. A few years ago, his family was hit by bandits, and his yard was burned out by fire. His father, Emu, was also dead, leaving only him and his three younger brothers who were hiding in the cellar at that time.

Two of the three younger brothers are brothers, and the oldest is only sixteen years old now, which is also the age of Guan Du at that time.

Logically speaking, his family was originally a landlord, and even the dozens of good land left by the family were enough to make several children safely mature. Unfortunately, the facts proved that blessings would never come alone.

Taking advantage of the funeral of Guan Dufumu, the uncle of his family, who was a gangster, and the head of the Guan clan, awarded the ownership of the land to his uncle on the grounds that Guan Du was not young enough to inherit the family business, and only said that he would manage it on his behalf and return it after Guan Du and Guan.

Ji Guan? It is said that four or five years have passed, and the day of Guan and Guan has passed long ago, and I don’t know if I have recovered the fields of his family. But looking at this, I’m afraid there is no one.

Yes, no one was willing to spit out the things in his mouth when he ate them. Uncle Guan Du and the leader of the Guan family tricked him into cheating him at that time, he was still a young master who had suffered a huge blow.

He Ze sighed in his heart, but he did not show any sign of it. After all, they had a common friendship, so he didn't need to argue with others' affairs.

However, thinking that Guan Du raised his three younger brothers by himself and ranked among the top in his studies, He Ze still admired him very much. At least he would not hesitate to help him. "If you need to cash out the soft fragrance red, you can come here tomorrow."

The county will hold a county examination in February next year, and then there will be a government examination and a hospital examination. If you still want to participate in the provincial examination, you will not have to travel far, and the time will be longer. If the brother, who is already 28 years old, doesn't find someone's house earlier, it will probably be delayed.

He poked Guan Du's heart, and the latter was stunned for a moment, then bowed deeply, "Brother He, thank you."

He Ze expected that it was exactly what he was worried about now, and even more anxious. The family introduced by the matchmaker to his younger brother, who he liked and was satisfied with. He was probably getting married this year, so he urgently needed money. Moreover, if he wanted to take the county exam next year, he had to take a lot of time to review his studies, so that the family would lose its income.

If these third prizes really deserve thirty taels of silver, it can be said that it solved his urgent need!

He thought of a way to go to the fields at home last year, but his uncle was not only vicious, but also extremely absurd.

After receiving his land, the whole family moved to the town. The originally agreed to give his brothers five cents a month to spend. After only half a year, he kept evading and evading the following.

At that time, because of his good skills in calligraphy and painting, he could earn a few dollars a month. In addition, the scholars were not too jealous of their arrogance, and they only recorded notes in their account one by one, thinking that they would get them back one by one after another.

However, he came to the door last year and found out that shortly after his uncle moved to the town, he was addicted to a prostitute and gambling house all day long. The rent for a year was not enough for him to spend. He had to treat the land at home for only two years.

At that time, he had already entered the academy and took several younger brothers to rent a house in the town. When several thugs in the gambling hall took the land deeds to the village for land, no one in the village even came to inform him!

Ironically, he remembers clearly that every time he was not good at harvest, his father would always waive most of the rents from the tenants in his family. When he could not survive, he would give money and food again and again. If there was a happy event for a family to have a wedding and birthday, his father would never be stingy. At that time, the uncles in the village treated them kindly and kindly...

But in a blink of an eye... I hate myself for being too stupid at that time, otherwise why would it be so humiliating for such a level!

But now that things have come to this point, no matter how regretful or hated him, it is meaningless. Now the scientific examination is his only way out. He is confident in the first three tests of the Tongsheng exams, and he is also sure of the subsequent provincial examinations. He naturally cannot give up if he can do his best. He has been waiting for too long.

Before this, he needed to raise enough dowry for his younger brother.

My father and mother passed away and his family background was miserable. He was afraid that someone would look down on his younger brother, so he had to work hard on the dowry. Today, he just wanted to give it a try with a lucky mentality. He never thought that he had such luck, which was really gratifying.

He Ze took a pot of Soft Love Red as the third prize, and Guandu immediately squeezed out of the crowd. There were many people here, and if Soft Love Red in his arms was bumping into something and his appearance was damaged, he would feel distressed.

And I just got He Ze's promise, so I don't have to worry about the monetization of soft fragrance red.

Guandu left, the lottery continued, and the crowd was still hot.

The second prize is a pot of camellia, which is the eighteenth bachelor's degree discussed by He Ze and his brothers. The winner is a middle-aged man with a brown cloth scarf on his forehead. He is thin and has a yellow complexion. When he heard He Ze recite his number, he burst into tears and almost knelt on the ground to thank the Bodhisattva. Fortunately, Lin Yu pulled it quickly.

The third and second prizes have come out, and the next one is the first prize, the treasure among the flowers Yao Huang Peony.

There was a silence in the crowd. He Ze slowly peeled off the paper ball, looked around, and then slowly began to recite, "The winner of the first prize is...No. 221!"

“No. 221!”
Chapter completed!
