Grandmother stared blankly at the load of old gifts, then came back to her senses, screamed, sat on the ground, howled and cursed:
"That damn girl who killed a thousand swords! How dare you fool me like this!"
"What kind of evil have I done! After all the hard work of traveling to Luo City, this damn girl not only left me alone, but also asked me to accompany her on a vegetarian diet for four days. She agreed to give it to our family as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift, but... unexpectedly... …”
She was so angry that she was trembling all over. She pointed at the pile of yellowed old gift lists and rolled her eyes as if she couldn't breathe.
Sun Zhiqian rubbed his mother's back soothingly, picked up one of the books, flipped through it, and asked curiously:
"Mom, did my uncle give so many things to our family? This... was given to me as a birthday gift when I was ten years old? Mom, didn't you say that my uncle was a piece of shit and never gave me anything good? Let's see. Which of the things listed above are not valuable? Where do you put those things? I have never seen them in all these years..."
"You!" Sun's mother was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down, and she pointed at her son, "Unfilial son! I didn't do it for you! When I was three years old, I asked my master for no money? When I went to the academy to study, I didn't have to pay for it? What have you used these years? What kind of pen, ink, paper and inkstone don’t cost money? You don’t know how expensive studying is! Your uncle’s family is so rich, what’s wrong with giving a decent birthday gift to your direct nephew? If he hadn’t given him something flashy every time, he would never be like Other rich families often give away silver coins and banknotes to their relatives. Do I need to pawn them and sell them? Do you think it is easy to manage this family? Is it easy for me these years? "
As she spoke, grandma covered her face and started to cry.
Sun Zhiqian was at a loss: "Mom, it's my son, isn't it! Stop crying!"
Grandmother beat her chest and cried non-stop: "Why don't you cry! This guy got a thousand knives! I paid for the carriage all by myself! It cost me several taels of silver! You will take the provincial examination next year The money for the expenses has not yet been settled... What use can these junk things be used for? How much money can this burden be worth..."
Wait... When it came to selling for money, Grandmother suddenly reacted, "Son! Take the scale and weigh it. These gift lists are also written on paper. If there are two such thick piles, they might be sold for a lot of money. .”
"Mom..." Sun Zhiqian twitched the corner of his mouth, "The gift list states that it is for our family. Take it out and sell it. Aren't you afraid of being seen?"
When grandma heard this, she thought so too! The gift note has a letterhead and states that it is for you. If you sell it, you might be laughed at.
I couldn't throw them away, I couldn't sell them, and I had to find a place to store these two piles of things. Sun's mother was so angry that she didn't sleep well for several nights, and there was a circle of fire bubbles around the corners of her mouth.
"Son, you must live up to your expectations. Come back next year and let that damn girl take a good look!"
Grandmother gritted her teeth when she thought about this:
"She looks down on our family now and wants to break up with our family! She deliberately uses this pile of junk to disgust us..."
In the past few days, the more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became.
Neighbors all knew that she went to her niece's house in Fengcheng, and when she came back she picked up a gift basket tied with wedding silk.
When she got off the carriage, a neighbor asked her if it was a mid-autumn ceremony to show filial piety to her niece, and she answered "yes" with a beaming face.
result……
In the past few days, neighbors saw her and asked enviously:
"What kind of gift did your niece give you? It's such a heavy load."
"You are lucky that your niece is so filial."
She is really a mute who eats Coptis chinensis and cannot express her sufferings.
I can only hope that my son will be on the list in the provincial examination.
By that time, her son will be the master of civil affairs, and he must give that damn girl a good beating and get out of her bad temper.
In that room, Xu Yin finished the Mid-Autumn Festival, checked the accounts of the house, and made sure they were correct. She glanced at Sikong appreciatively: "Congratulations! From now on, you will be the accountant of our house!"
"Thank you girl."
"You're welcome. I just gave you a chance. It's mainly due to your own intentions." Xu Yin waved her hand casually, "However, the days ahead are long. I hope that the accounts you make will remain clear and clear year after year. false."
Sikong looked at his nose and heart: "I understand, little one."
After settling the accounts, Xu Yin was about to return to the other hospital.
"Girl, the weather is getting colder. If you insist on going to another hospital to observe mourning, please bring the government doctor with you!" The old housekeeper is worried that she is delicate and frail. What should she do if she gets sick in the mountains?
Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "Okay!"
If you want to learn more about Chinese medicine, you might as well learn a little bit about it from the resident doctor in the mansion.
…
After autumn, the first batch of flowers planted began to bloom.
The first to bloom is lavender.
A branch of purple flower branches forms a sea of purple mist. A gust of autumn wind blows, and the fragrance is overflowing.
In fact, the best season for lavender flower viewing is June and July. Unfortunately, it was already the end of April when she arrived here, and it took some time to open the mountain and breed it. This doesn't bloom until October.
Fortunately, lavender is cold-resistant, and the cooler weather also has an advantage for it - it has a long flowering period.
Xu Yin estimated that by the end of November, she would still be able to enjoy this charming sea of purple mist flowers in front of her.
All the helpers and servants present were attracted by the noble and elegant purple color and rich and unique fragrance of lavender.
"What beautiful flowers! No wonder the girl is willing to invest so much energy in serving these little ancestors. They are so beautiful when they are in full bloom!"
"Is this a flower seed imported from overseas? It's so beautiful!"
"Girl, can I pick a bunch back and put it on the window sill of your bedroom?"
Xu Yin laughed and said: "You can pick it if you like it. But don't waste it, I still have some use for it."
"Don't waste it! Don't waste it! I will pick a small bunch and put it back in the vase in the study."
After Zi Yuan and Hong Qian finished speaking, they carefully walked into the lavender field and picked a few plump flowers.
Xu Kui came over and asked, "Girl, will all these flowers be harvested and taken to Xujia Village to make that kind of fragrance?"
He had heard the girl mention it before, but he was confused and didn't understand it.
But dad said that he was here to run errands for the girl, and he would do whatever the girl asked.
If you don’t understand, you can ask, but don’t make your own decisions.
"Yes!" Xu Yin asked, "How is the construction of the fragrance shop going?"
"I just went to see it yesterday. It's almost completed. There are only some details left that need to be dealt with."
"It's okay, don't be in a hurry, just let everyone take your time. The custom-made glass is not ready yet."
Liulifang was still unable to make the style she wanted and had to rework it several times.
If she could, she would really want to roll up her sleeves and say to the technicians at Liulifang: Leave it alone!
But in fact, she had never burned complicated glass utensils, so she could only wait patiently for Liulicang to bake a finished product that satisfied her.
Fortunately, lavender has a long flowering period. If you give Liulifang a few more months, it will finally bloom, right?
