Mother Yi's usually calm face finally showed an expression of surprise. She didn't expect that the Xiao family had so many sources of income and each item was so high. Just think that fruit wine is the income of several big houses a year for those wealthy families. , not to mention chrysanthemum tea. She had seen it this morning. The row of wooden shelves that occupied all the space under the eaves were filled with dustpans for chrysanthemums. Before anyone walked in, she could smell the strong aroma of chrysanthemums. Thick fragrance.
I didn’t expect that these seemingly ordinary chrysanthemums could be sold for two taels of silver.
Whether it was fruit wine worth fifteen taels of silver a jar, chrysanthemum tea worth twenty taels of silver a bag, or vegetables supplied to Qionghua Building, Po An didn't find out about these, and she didn't even know that she tossed and turned last night and couldn't sleep at night. Sleeping, thinking about the Xiao family's situation, source of income, and whether they would sell them again if their life was unsustainable in the future.
But now these problems have been solved. Is it because she underestimated Xiao Ming, or has she become a frightened bird after changing owners several times.
With such a family background and such a master, why would she not be loyal to her?
If you don't give up, I won't leave you.
Mother Yi settled down and made up her mind to stay here for the rest of her life to serve Xiao Ming, and to instruct her son and grandson to do things faithfully. After thinking this through, Mother Yi no longer frowned, and her whole body Everyone relaxes.
The two of them wrapped the buns, put them in the steamer, and put the pot on the pot.
"Yunling, turn up the fire and start steaming the buns. After the buns are ready, stir-fry vegetables for dinner." Mrs. Song said, picking up the vegetables to wash again. Now that there are more people in the family, especially there is one more person who is very edible. After pear, she had to prepare twice as much food as before.
"Madam, I'll wash it, you go and have a rest." Mother Yi said, taking the vegetable basket from Mrs. Song's hand.
"Wu Fang, let's go together." Mrs. Song said, leading Yi's mother to the well to wash vegetables.
"These pears are really good. Look, the water jar is full of water." Ms. Song praised. Although she ate a little too much, she worked hard, fetching water and sweeping the yard.
"This girl can only do these things." Mother Yi said, this pear is also lucky. The only way to stay in the Xiao family is not to be disliked by others. In addition to being able to eat, she can only do these menial jobs. , teach her how to embroider flowers, she will forget how to hold a needle after a while, teach her etiquette and rules, it is even worse, she can't even walk, because she eats too much, she grows a little thicker, and looks stupid , every time the mother who was in charge of a wealthy family came to choose a girl, she would be eliminated at first sight. No one liked her. The only time she was sold to work as a rough girl, but she was stupid enough to beat her. , now that she was well and was sent back, Po An simply ignored her and gave her up, leaving her to do some chores at Po An's house.
I didn't expect that Po An would send her here without any money this time. I thought she ate too much and forced Po An.
"After dinner, I will take you to Xia's house to help, which is Xiaoba's house. Now their house is being repaired, and people in the village are going to their house to help. There are a few people who are close to each other. I will introduce you to them." Mrs. Song was washing Cai said as he spoke.
"Okay, thank you, madam." Mother Yi thanked her. She knew that Mrs. Song was thinking of her. If she wanted to adapt here as soon as possible, she would have to blend in with the people here and understand their way of life.
"Thank you. We will be a family from now on." Ms. Song said.
Xiao Ming listened to their conversation. The atmosphere was good and the two got along better. It seemed that she didn't have to worry about getting along with her godmother and mother Yi.
She didn't bother the two people who were talking and walked away slowly.
Mother Yi insisted on having breakfast at separate tables, but Xiao Ming did not refuse. Xiao Ming, the Song family, and Xia Xiaoba were eating in the living room, while Mother Yi brought her children and grandchildren, Li'er, and Yunling's siblings. A table was prepared in the kitchen and the first meal was shared.
The dishes on both tables were the same. Mrs. Song sighed at the dinner table and chatted with Xiao Ming about Mama Yi, "Mother Yi is really nice. She is very polite and very measured in what she says and does. She must have worked in a wealthy family before. I passed." Speak politely and treat her with respect.
"Well, maybe." Xiao Ming nodded.
"She got up early and was diligent. When I got up today, she was scrubbing the furniture."
After the meal, Xiao Ming called Yi's mother and gave her the medicine prepared last night.
"Take the pills in the porcelain bottle three times a day, one pill each time, after meals. The Chinese medicine should be drank before meals. After taking these three pills, I will take my pulse and make a new prescription."
"Thank you, girl." Mother Yi said gratefully.
"You're welcome. Go and give Yifeng some medicine."
If Yi Feng wants to stay at home to pick vegetables, Xia Xiaoba should send Xiao Han and others to study in the town. Now that Yi's mother and others are helping, they don't have to help pick vegetables at home.
At the same time, Xiao Ming also breathed a sigh of relief, so Xiao Han said she could study with peace of mind and prepare for the birth test tomorrow.
After picking vegetables, Mrs. Song took Yi's mother to Xia's house to help. Xiao Ming stayed at home with Wang Yunling and Li'er to turn over the chrysanthemums under the roof. Now that the weather is nice, these chrysanthemums are almost dry. Let the backside dry for a while before packing.
"Girl, there are so many chrysanthemums." Li'er said, carefully turning over the small flowers in the dustpan. She had eaten as full as last night. She had eaten five meat buns alone and was very satisfied.
Being able to eat like this every day would make her dream.
"Well, there are still some unbloomed ones in the ground. Let's pick them after they bloom." Xiao Ming replied while turning over the flowers, and then said to Yunling: "Yunling, memorize the efficacy of the herbal medicine I taught you. Listen."
After learning calligraphy for a few days, Xiao Ming began to teach Yunling to memorize the names and functions of herbal medicines. She memorized two kinds every day. This was just the beginning. In the future, she would also memorize medical books and prescriptions. First, theoretical knowledge, and then use it in practice to understand herbs. Distinguish medicine, diagnose pulse and treat diseases.
"It's aunt." Yunling replied and started to carry it.
"Angelica sinensis: nourishes blood and activates blood circulation, regulates menstruation and relieves pain, moisturizes intestines and relieves constipation. It is good at nourishing blood. It is a sacred medicine for nourishing blood. It has a sweet, warm and moisturizing nature and can be used to treat many diseases caused by blood deficiency, such as chlorosis and insomnia caused by blood deficiency. For insomnia, palpitations and other symptoms caused by nourishing the mind..., Chuanbei: it moistens the lungs, relieves coughs, and resolves phlegm..." Wang Yunling recited it carefully, and it was accurate, and Xiao Ming I have memorized everything I taught, which shows that I have put in a lot of hard work.
"Yeah." Xiao Ming nodded repeatedly, that's good.
After a few days, Mrs. Song and Mother Yi went to the Xia family every day to help. Everyone in the Liu family village knew that several people from Xiao Ming's family had become familiar with Mother Yi, and they looked down upon her without her identity. , after Mrs. Wang knew that Mother Yi was good at needlework, she came to Xiao Ming with a gift, hoping that Mother Yi could teach her girl Nv Hong.
She taught Liu Lin how to make women's embroidery. She knew her own craftsmanship, so she could only embroider some small items such as handkerchiefs and purses for small shops in the town. Although Song's mother's clothes were very plain, the embroidery patterns on them were exquisite. , which she had never seen before, and she asked herself if she could not embroider it.
Xiao Ming agreed after asking Mother Yi, so Mother Yi brought three young apprentices. Liu Lin, Liu Xiaofang and Liu Yu had been friends since childhood. Knowing that Liu Lin was coming to learn from Nühong, Liu Xiaofang also followed. .
Mother Yi used to teach little girls nvren and etiquette at Po An's house, but now she's not used to it now. She knows that these three families in the village have the best relationship with Xiao Ming, and they won't refuse anyone who comes. Anyway, it's okay to teach one, and it's okay to teach three. teach.
She has been in a good mood these past few days, living comfortably and living a stable life. Especially after her son took the medicine given by the girl and gradually improved, she was in a better mood. She thought that she was repaying the girl by giving them guidance.
