Su Wan compiled Jianjialou's tea cake and cake recipes into a book and gave it directly to Jiubian, letting him take care of it. She didn't care about the rest.
After Jiubian left, Su Wan met with Manager Zhang again and talked about breeding issues.
"Let's raise some fish, shrimps and chickens. I remember that there are several small fish ponds in the village that are empty. I'll ask about it and rent one, and then ask someone to buy some fry and bring them back. On weekdays, arrange for one or two boys to catch fish. It’s just grass.”
"The chickens will be raised in the orchard. Just feed them once in the morning and evening."
Jingpingyuan had not raised these things before. The fish and shrimps were all brought from Shi Hanhai's house, and the chickens were from Shi Chongshan's house. The ones raised by both families were good, and she was too lazy to worry about how many things she took and asked them to pay the bill. .
But now, forget it, let’s raise some by ourselves.
Although she also paid for it, it doesn't stop others from thinking that you are doing good to you by eating the food they raised, so you should appreciate it.
"Just let Zhang Shou handle the specific amount. He has been so dizzy recently that he can't find Bei."
Manager Zhang's lips twitched and he said happily: "The boy is going to be a father for the first time, that's it."
Su Wan casually asked about Xiao Wei's situation: "Is Xiao Wei okay?"
"Okay, it's just that the weather was too cold before, so I asked her to go out less often to avoid getting cold. When it gets warmer in a few days, I'll ask her to pay my respects to Madam."
"That's not necessary. Let her have a good rest. If you need anything, just ask."
"If there is a need, I will definitely come to Madam for help."
"Um."
It was February at this time, when the spring flowers were blooming. Although the weather had warmed up a bit, it still had a slight spring chill. With nothing to do in the afternoon, Su Wan took the people to the peach grove to enjoy the peach blossoms. Went to pick peach blossoms.
He was accompanied by several slaves, each carrying a basket, intending to pick peach blossoms and go back to make peach blossom wine.
Xie Si'an and Sun Xiang walked together. The three of them sat on a big stone in the peach grove. They spread out cushions and sat down. They drank a cup of peach blossom wine together and watched the maid picking peach blossoms in the peach grove.
Sun Xiang said: "Speaking of this peach blossom, a girl's family can eat some, but a woman who is pregnant with a child cannot eat it. If you don't know whether you are pregnant or not, you should be taboo."
Hearing this, Xie Si'an said, "I need to ask Madam about this, should I eat it or not?"
Su Wan glanced at her lightly and asked, "How is the construction of your yard going?" without answering her words.
"The foundation has been laid. It will be completed in a few months. When the time comes, please invite Madam to the conservatory for a drink."
Su Wan smiled and responded: "Easy to say."
Sun Xiang shook the fan in his hand, but disagreed: "You said you live well in Jingpingyuan, with someone taking care of your three meals a day, and you don't need you for washing and cooking, so why do you want to move out?"
Sun Xiang wished that the people waiting on her would line up and take turns waiting on her, but she couldn't understand why Xie Si'an wasn't happy to have someone waiting on her.
The stone where they were sitting happened to be under a peach tree. Xie Si'an's seat was close to the peach tree. She leaned on the tree pole and took a leisurely sip of peach blossom wine after hearing the words: "Everyone has his own preferences, so that's it." The best."
Speaking of this, she sighed with emotion: "It would be great if my brother was here. I can still live with him by then."
The younger brother in Xie Sian's mouth was Li Fu. The two had always had a good relationship before, crossing the river to fish together and hunting in the mountains together, so in Xie Sian's mouth, Li Fu became his younger brother.
Before Li Fu left, he gave her a letter, saying that he wanted to go out for a walk and asked her not to read it and live a good life. If she met a man she liked, she would find him a brother-in-law.
Although power and wealth are desirable, peace and happiness are more important.
Li Fu hoped that Xie Sian would be just Xie Sian in this life, and no longer the female general Si Wuxie in her previous life. She had not missed her father. From then on, the yin and yang were separated, which became a lifelong regret. Maybe she could find a good husband to accompany her for the rest of her life.
Although they no longer have the friendship of fighting side by side in their previous life, they each have their own fulfillment. In this life, it seems that it is not bad to be a pair of siblings.
"He, you don't have to worry. Young man, just go and see the vast sky outside. We have also sent a guard to follow him. His safety is guaranteed. Don't worry."
"I hope."
The three of them drank another cup of peach blossom wine, and Su Wan went to pick up some peach branches himself, planning to take them back later to make flower arrangements.
The peach blossoms are in bloom at this time, the trees are full of pink, and spring is everywhere. When the wind blows, the petals will rise and fall with the wind. Then the breeze will go away, and they will be left on this piece of land again.
.
In mid-February, Su Xun and Huo Yan came to Shiqiao Village. Along with them were Yue Shuang and You Zongzhi. Su Xun and Huo Yan came to say goodbye. They had stayed in the Imperial City for a long time. It's time, it's time to go back, but I just happened to take a detour to Guiyan City and come over here to have a look.
Speaking of which, Su Xun has never been here before, so he needs to see it before he can rest assured.
As for Yue Shuang and You Zongzhi, they came to Su Wan to make decisions.
"The mountains and rivers here are good. It is indeed a good place to live. Senior brother, how do you think it compares with our valley?"
Huo Yan looked at the mountains and mountains of this village. In the spring, there were clusters of flowers on the fruit trees, and the mountains were clear and clear and the water was gurgling. In autumn, there would be plenty of fruits.
But what is there in the valley where they live?
A river of flowing water and a thatched house.
Huo Yan said honestly: "I'm afraid there's no comparison. This is an orchard orchard, and ours is the mountains."
Su Xun said: "Senior brother, do you think it is feasible for us to plant some fruit trees?"
Huo Yan said: "I'm afraid it won't work. My uncle likes peace and quiet. If we plant more fruit trees, there will definitely be many birds and beasts coming in autumn, and it won't be good if we are discovered."
"Besides, we don't have the ability to grow it."
It's not like Huo Yan has never tried to plant a fruit tree, so that he can have some fruits to eat next year without having to go up the mountain to find them, but he doesn't have the ability.
Su Xun was silent for a while after hearing this: "It would be great if the place where Master lives is so nice."
"It's really a beautiful idea." Su Wan came out of the yard to greet them, "It took more than 20 years for this fruit forest to look like what it is today. Even if you have been planting it, you still need to take careful care of it for five or six years." Take shape.”
"Sixth sister."
"Sixth sister."
"cousin."
Su Wan was stunned for a moment when he saw Yue Shuang: "Why is Shuang'er here too?"
Su Xun and Huo Yan had written letters early to come, so she naturally knew about it, but she didn't know how Yue Shuang came with them.
Yue Shuang smiled hurriedly: "Cousin, I haven't seen my cousin for a long time, and I miss her. It just so happened that I was passing by here on my way back to the Imperial City and met Su Si. He said he wanted to see you, so he stopped by to have a look. "
