Aunt Shi Liu is hospitable and likes to be lively, Aunt Zheng is eloquent, Madam Zhang is gentle and kind, and they are three older women. When it comes to gossip, no one else can say a word.
Su Wan wore gloves and peeled the persimmons silently.
When persimmons are peeled, they will secrete a kind of liquid. Although it is not much, it is difficult to clean when it touches the hands. It is sticky and black. For this reason, Madam Zhang specially gave it to the people in the house. Prepare a set of gloves.
The gloves are not made of cloth, but are made of a material similar to oil paper. The appearance is softer than oil paper. Each finger position is sewn with needle and thread. Although it does not fit well when you put it on, it is not very comfortable, but But it can prevent mucus from sticking to your hands.
Su Wan showed great enthusiasm for peeling. She couldn't climb a tree to pick fruits, so she could only stand under the tree and pick some. Those that could be picked by standing under the tree were really less. Soon It's done.
This peeling is easy. As long as she is patient, she can still do it. Even if she is tired, she can still do it slower.
If she is really too tired, she will dry the persimmon skins. Aunt Shi Liu said that these peeled persimmon skins cannot be thrown away, but should be kept to dry. When the persimmons are almost dried, they can be used to cover the persimmons.
When the time comes, you need to find something to put it in, and then put the persimmon skins on top of it layer by layer, so that the persimmons can be covered with a layer of white frost in the future.
Persimmons covered with white frost are especially delicious.
The more than a dozen persimmon trees on the mountain are growing well. The picked persimmons are piled in the yard like a hill. Twenty people in Jingpingyuan have been busy all afternoon, and there are still many left.
The endless things had to be left to the next day. Aunt Shi Liu explained the tips for drying persimmons again, and then went home to cook for the man and the children.
Su Wan invited her to stay for dinner. After she refused, he didn't force her to stay. He just invited her to come over to help tomorrow and would give her a thank you gift then.
"This thank you gift is not necessary, but don't worry, Princess, I will definitely come to help tomorrow morning." Aunt Shi Liu was still smiling and in a good mood when she left.
Most of the people in Shiqiao Village have the surname Shi and are members of the same clan. Shiqiao Village is the place where the Shi family's ancestors have lived for generations. The people of the Shi family naturally want peace and quiet.
When Li Lin wanted to bring Su Wan back to live here, although the people in Shiqiao Village were excited to see the noble man, they were also a little worried.
I'm afraid that the princess has a bad temper, is dissatisfied with Shiqiao Village, is picky all day long, or doesn't like the people in the village, and uses her power to bully others, causing Shiqiao Village to be in a state of chaos.
However, as the days passed, everyone got to know the princess somewhat.
The princess likes to be quiet. She likes to stay in the yard on weekdays. When she has nothing to do, she either plants flowers and feeds fish or feeds geese.
Or you can go to the mountains to find a place to sit, enjoy the scenery and have tea, or take two wild geese out for a walk.
The couple in Jingpingyuan raised a pair of wild geese, named Big Dai and Er Dai. It was said that they were the wild geese that Li Lin sent to the princess's mansion when he was employed in the past. Neither of them could bear to let them fly or kill them, so they kept Keep it.
Maybe these two geese are too lazy, or maybe they eat too well. They were raised so that their hair is smooth and shiny, and they are as plump as two big geese shaking their heads. Now they can't even fly high. , I flapped my wings as hard as I could and could only fly up to the eaves.
All in all, the princess is a very quiet and kind person. She rarely goes out on weekdays. If she meets you, she will say hello and say a few words to you. On weekdays, you can visit her and chat or play with her. She also welcomes Yepai and embroidery.
However, if someone treats her as a fool and wants to get any benefits from her, she won't like it. This time, she entertained you politely, but the next time you go, it will be the same as before. Can't get in.
She is quiet, gentle and kind, but not easy to bully.
This is the impression everyone in Shiqiao Village has of her.
Of course, if you help her in any way, she won't treat you badly, and she is also a person who has a clear sense of grudges.
Su Wan had Aunt Shi Liu sent away, and then had a shed built in the open space of the garden. Then the persimmons would be moved in to dry. She ate something in a hurry, took a bath to relieve her fatigue, and then sat in the study Practiced the piano.
Su Wan felt that life in Shiqiao Village was pretty good. Although it was a little far away from Guiyan City, it was not too far. If you wanted to go shopping, that was fine.
The folks in Shiqiao Village are also very nice. Most of them are kind and honest. Because Li Lin's father has helped us a lot, everyone is very grateful to the Li family and is very kind to her.
There are a few things that are unpleasant, but they are not too bad, and they don't always come up to make her unhappy.
Although Li Lin was away, her life was a little quieter, but it was also fulfilling.
In addition to daily physical exercise, planting flowers and feeding fish and geese, she also practiced calligraphy and piano. Occasionally, she also learned to make clothes and embroidery.
Next, they would play chess or take a look at Li Lin's books.
Li Lin has a large collection of books, ranging from farming and breeding to astronomical and geographical deductions, from travel notes to official history, and in between there are some dietary recipes, traditional Chinese medicine, musical instrument learning, military strategies...
All in all, as long as she could think of it, she could find it in his collection of books, which made her indulge in the fun of looking for books for a while. It was a pity that her head was dizzy when she looked at many books. I feel dizzy and can't understand at all.
In the end I had to give up and just look for some books that interested me.
Compared with the ups and downs of the Imperial City, the endless battles in the court, and the sisters fighting openly and secretly, she still likes such a peaceful, quiet and leisurely life.
She doesn't need to think about her situation and her family every step she takes. When she does everything or speaks every word, she has to consider whether she can do it, what the consequences will be, and whether it will be possible. Offend someone.
There is no need to face those complicated social interactions. Although she also likes some elders and friends, it is just that there are too many things and it is really tiring. The banquet in the Imperial City is only three days and one small banquet. A big feast in five days is really tiring.
Such a relaxed look has been her long-standing dream and pursuit.
Life is rich and worry-free, surrounded by green mountains and green waters. In your free time, you can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons, plant flowers and feed the fish and geese. The biggest worry every day is thinking about what to eat tomorrow.
However, it would be better if there was a gentle and handsome husband by her side to accompany her and not let her think about her all the time.
Su Wan sat in front of the sandalwood piano seat, looked at the rising moon outside the window, and sighed slightly.
