Chapter 42 ([-]) Three people form a group
The three ladies exchanged boudoir names with a smile and began to chat:
"Jintao, do you still have that peony at home? I still want to appreciate it."

"Huh? - Didn't all the peony flowers from our family give to you?" Miss Zhang San, Zhang Jintao was stunned.

Zhang Wan'er was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect that she would kill the sky when she opened her mouth, she thought about it and reluctantly replied: "Just two peonies? Is there nothing else?"

Ms. Gu, Gu Yunxiu lowered her head and pursed her lips, snickering.

Zhang Jintao took it for granted: "No, I'm going to get three peonies in total, one of which died a long time ago, and the remaining two are still alive, my mother insists on giving them to you, so I am one peony. It's gone."

Zhang Wan'er (Gu Yunxiu) was speechless: So she was sent by force.

"Uh—I mean, don't you have any other flowers in your house?"

"Other flowers? Do we grow any other flowers in our house?" Zhang Jintao actually asked the maid who was serving at the side.

"Miss, our family has sweet-scented osmanthus, and locust tree?" the passer-by girl asked cautiously.

"Does that count?" Zhang Jintao turned around and asked Zhang Wan'er indifferently.

Zhang Wan'er: ...

Gu Yunxiu: ...

The scene was very embarrassing for a while, and the above two fell into silence, probably asking themselves: What am I doing?Why am I here?My cat is happy at home, isn't it fragrant?Abusive!
On the other hand, Zhang Jintao didn't realize what happened at all, and thought that the topic was over, instead she greeted the two proudly:

"Eat it, these grapes are sweet and fresh. Not everyone can eat such fresh fruits in this winter!"

After being silent and secretly refreshed, Gu Yunxiu finally remembered her responsibilities. Before going out, her mother repeatedly told her to take good care of Master Tongzhi's daughter, so embarrassing everyone is not the way to go.

Zhang Jintao didn't know anything as usual, she was calm and composed, but Zhang Qianjin was embarrassed and couldn't sit still.

Therefore, Gu Yunxiu picked up a grape first, and asked casually while eating, "Jintao, why don't you tell me how you got those three peonies?"

"That peony flower, I got it from our village in the countryside."

"Oh, then do you still have peonies in the village in your country?"

"I pulled them all out. I don't know if there are any more? Ah! At that time, there were two different kinds of flowers next to the peony, but they were not as beautiful as the peony." Zhang Jintao thought for a long time and finally remembered the scene at that time.

"What's the name of those two kinds of flowers?" Miss Zhang Wan'er finally recovered from the series of blows.

"I don't know." Zhang Jintao looked innocent.

Zhang Wan'er and Gu Yunxiu thought to themselves: Oh my god, can we still have a good chat.

Seeing that Zhang Wan'er was interested, Gu Yunxiu's heart was moved, and she pretended to say: "Hey, if I have a chance, I can go and see it with my own eyes."

"Yeah, I don't know what kind of flower it is?" Zhang Wan'er was also yearning for it in her heart.

"Do you want to go? You can go if you want, anyway, it's not far away, it's in Wenjia Village." Sure enough, Zhang Jintao took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Can I really go and see it?" Zhang Wan'er's eyes lit up, and finally they talked about a topic that she was super interested in.

"Of course it's fine." Seeing that Zhang Wan'er wanted something from him, Zhang Jintao complied proudly.

"Then when are we going to leave?" Gu Yunxiu made an effort behind her back.

"Ah?" The topic jumped so fast that Zhang Jintao didn't react at all, and after a long time he said, "Shall we go now?"

"Okay!" Zhang Wan'er was happy: "Then let's go now."

So, the dazed Zhang Jintao mechanically told his mother that he was going to the farm in Wenjia Village to enjoy the flowers.

As soon as these words came out, the wet nurse Zhao Ma jumped and quickly objected.

Mrs. Zhang insisted: "It's okay, it's in the suburbs, not far away at all. If Zhao's mother is worried, and my son happens to be at home today, let Ren Shan go with him. He will definitely take care of everyone properly, and you will let him go." Don't worry.

Hearing that the son of the Zhang family is going too, Zhao's mother is even more anxious. What kind of heart does this guy have?It is true that there were wolves before and tigers after.

The three ladies also insisted on going, huh-la-lah, you yelled, me yelled, and she yelled, it made Mama Zhao's head hurt, and finally she couldn't resist the attack of the crowd and was completely defeated.

The atmosphere in Zhen'an Mansion is not bad, as long as men and widows are not alone, it's okay for servants to accompany young ladies and gentlemen on outings, spring outings, and autumn outings. Therefore, Zhao's mother followed Zhang Wan'er unswervingly, never leaving her.

No matter what Zhao's mother thinks, seeing Miss Gu Yunxiu's shy and joyful look, she knows that Zhang Renshan, the eldest son of the Zhang family, is still a dog.

Zhang Renshan doesn't look like a mountain at all, and he doesn't know if he is benevolent or not. He is dressed in a blue thin collar, big sleeves, green velvet Taoist robe, a scarf on his head, and a jade ring around his waist. He looks like a handsome young man.

After a meal, everyone waved their whips and went out.

Along the way, Miss Zhang Wan'er was chattering, but she understood why she came here. Although the road was a bit tortuous at first, the goal was finally achieved: beautiful flowers, here I come.

Coincidentally, when they were approaching Wen's Village, Miss San's convoy ran into the mule cart of the Wenxiang brothers and sisters.

As a village girl, Wen Xiang knew that she had to give way, but today she had a fight with her elder brother, and she was very upset, and now she had to give way to the landlord Lao Cai, and she was very angry, always thinking about where to get it back.

When the landlord's convoy passed by, Wen Xiang looked back and heard that he still had the look of "you owe me money", so he immediately fired: "Brother, do you know what it means for a gentleman to love money and get it in a proper way?"

"How do I not know?"

"Then tell me, don't we get the money we earn from selling toothpaste?"

"Of course it is."

"Then what's wrong with improving your life with money that you earn reasonably and legally?"

"There is nothing wrong with it, but I am quite disturbed by spending too much money." Wen Dao explained.

"How can you count as spending too much? Wearing patched clothes, covered with tattered quilts, eating the last meal and never having the next meal, there is no one who eats meat all year round, drinks porridge and chews vegetable leaves every day, and is sallow and emaciated, walking Isn't it too much to sway?"

"This——" Wen Dao was speechless.

"If a person has endless clothes, endless quilts, endless food, endless utensils, and buys and buys, that is called waste, and that is spending too much money."

Wen Xiang took a breath and said again: "Now we are wearing the upper clothes, but not the next ones. We have been sewing and mending for three years. Buying a few new clothes a year is called being cautious and using them with restraint."

"You're right, I, I'm not worried that it's easy for you to go from being frugal to extravagant, but it's hard to go from extravagant to frugal." Wen Xiang was slammed, and Wen Dao's retreat was completely overwhelmed.
