Su Wan is really interested in making preserved fruits. In her free time, she can make some preserved fruits and fruit wine by herself. It’s really not bad, just to pass the time.
She smiled and said, "Then I'll have Auntie Lao."
Mrs. Zhou said: "You're welcome. If anything happens in the future, you can come and see me."
Zhou was actually very happy. She also had the same worries as Shi Chongshan. She was afraid that if Li Lin married this noble girl, he would not be able to live a good life. In the future, he would either be groveling or be in a state of chaos.
Now that she saw that Su Wan had a gentle and kind temperament, and did not dislike their poor relatives, and still had some respect for her elders, she was finally relieved.
Zhou's relationship with her sister-in-law Shi Qinsang was quite good back then, so she naturally hoped that her nephew's life would be better.
Su Wan also visited Shi Huiqin. Although she didn't really want to see Shi Huiqin, someone in her relative's family was sick. Since she was here, there was no reason not to visit.
Shi Huiqin was sitting in her room quietly embroidering. She was still very thin, but her face was better than before. When she saw Su Wan, her eyes flashed, and she returned to her weak and pitiful look, and shouted. mother.
Mrs. Zhou felt very sorry for her daughter: "Huiqin, why are you doing this again? Take care of yourself."
"Mom, I'm fine." Shi Huiqin smiled weakly, "I stay in the house all day long and feel so idle. It doesn't take much effort to do some things. Besides, I can still earn some income by doing something. Let my parents support me."
"How come your parents can't afford to support you? Why do you have to do this?" Mrs. Zhou sighed. Shi Huiqin's disease requires frequent medication, which naturally costs a lot. The little money given to Shi Huiqin in the early years has already been spent. After spending the money, she returned to her parents' home, naturally relying on her parents.
"The princess has come to visit you." Mrs. Zhou said, "You have been to the Imperial City before, so you should have met the princess, but have you thanked the princess?"
Shi Huiqin's face stiffened for a moment, then she covered her mouth and coughed several times. When Zhou saw this, she didn't care about Su Wan and was busy trying to give her some relief.
However, Shi Huiqin seemed to have flipped some switch and kept coughing. Su Wan stood there for a while. The smell of medicine in the room was really strong and she couldn't bear it. Seeing that Zhou was still giving Shi Huiqin some relief , and quietly retreated.
The air in the yard is fresh and pleasant.
Shi Huiqin didn't want to see her, and she didn't want to see him yet.
In the evening, there was a banquet in Jingpingyuan, and Shi Chongshan and Shi Hanhai came to visit. Shi Huiqin did not come, but Li Fu did. He found a corner and sat down, and then his eyes began to fall on Li Lin from time to time.
Su Wan had a guess about his identity and paid attention to his gaze without any trace. After noticing it, the absurd guess in his heart became more and more likely.
Of course, the two families didn't come empty-handed. They didn't have any excellent food, but they had plenty of food.
Mrs. Zhou brought six live chickens, all of which are egg-laying hens. The chickens raised in the orchard here are delicious, the eggs are also delicious, and there is also some preserved fruit wine she made herself.
Mrs. Song brought some small baskets of crabs and shrimps, as well as some cured fish and ducks. When the Shi brothers split up, Shi Chongshan's family got more fruit trees, while Shi Hanhai's family got an extra fish pond and raised more Some aquatic products are also well maintained.
Su Wan's eyes lit up when he saw the crabs, and asked someone to put the crabs on the steamer so that he could have a taste of them when he finished eating them.
It was only the beginning of September, and the crabs in the Imperial City had to wait until mid-September to be eaten. She had not eaten a bite this year, and she was greedy for it. When she saw it, she thought she could eat it immediately.
Mrs. Song's eyes lit up when she saw it: "Princess Princess likes to eat crabs?"
Su Wan said: "I like it quite a lot, but I can't eat more. It's good to eat one or two occasionally. My second aunt raises these crabs really well. Each of them is quite big."
Mrs. Song felt a little proud when she heard this: "That's right, our crabs are of course the best. Even if there are crab farmers within a hundred miles, they can't compare to ours."
This crab farming also requires a method to raise crabs, which is unique to her family. The crabs and shrimps raised every year can make the family a fortune.
"If the princess likes to eat, just ask people to come find me, and I will ask you to fish it for you."
Su Wan laughed: "Then I'm welcome."
"You're welcome, it's not worth much."
Mrs. Song is not a generous person, but she is not stingy either. After all, her family has some wealth, so there is no need to worry about it. Even if she wants to eat, she can't eat much. Besides, Su Wan also gave gifts to everyone in the family, so Not a loss.
This banquet was a great time for both the guests and the host, and no accidents occurred.
Su Wan ate fresh crabs and had several pots of chrysanthemum tea made to go with it, and she was in a good mood.
Li Lin discussed with the Shi family and planned to hold a banquet to entertain the people in the village. Most of the people in the village knew his parents or watched his mother grow up.
He didn't invite everyone to the Imperial City when he got married, so it's really good to have one now.
The group of people discussed it and set the date on the eighth day of October. There was still one month left, so there was just enough time to prepare.
When the moon rose in the night sky, the two families left with lanterns.
Su Wan settled down in Shiqiao Village like this. In the first few days, she kept packing things, adjusting any areas in the yard that she was not satisfied with, or taking care of her flowers and plants, and moved to a new place. I am really worried about not being able to make a living.
Su Jian and Yue Zhen inspected Guiyan City for several days before returning. When they came back, they gave Su Wan the land deeds for five shops.
Su Wan was stunned for a moment: "What can you do for me?"
Su Jian said: "This is the shop our two families have set up for you. When I came, my grandmother gave me five thousand taels of silver, my third uncle also gave me three thousand, your sister-in-law and I also gave you one thousand, and Mrs. Zhen Guo Gong also gave us one thousand." Gave ten thousand."
"We asked Jingyuan before that you also have some land left by your elders in Shiqiao Village. You should not have to worry about food and drink. Therefore, we have not purchased a farm. It is better to have a shop that is more suitable and easier for you to manage."
"You have returned all the shops that were part of your dowry. Although these are far more valuable than the shops in God's City, you can still make an income if you run them well."
Every inch of land in the Imperial City is valuable, and every shop facing the street is filled with hens laying golden eggs. It is indeed priceless.
Su Jian said: "Just take it and let your family feel at ease."
Su Wan thought for a while and finally accepted it. Since it was the elder's wish, it would be polite to refuse. She would just give more things in the future to show her respect.
Su Jian was relieved when he saw that she accepted it, but he was afraid that if she didn't accept it, he would have to push it back and forth.
"There is a three-story restaurant, a two-story teahouse, and three small shops. You can do whatever you want."
