The New Year passed in a blink of an eye, and everything returned to normal in the new year.
Maochun rushed to Suzhou Mansion with a group of people. Lian Sheng was worried and went with him in person, waiting for Semicolon to officially open for business before returning.
Liu Anan is here non-stop to buy rose seedlings and plant them as soon as spring comes.
Roses have a long history in our country, and they are not just a random thing.
Wen Tingyun of the Tang Dynasty wrote in a poem that "roses brush the ground red", and the roses here are roses.
In "Compendium of Materia Medica", there are records of the medicinal properties of roses. In the Tang Dynasty, roses were used to make sachets, and in the Ming Dynasty, the flowers were used to make jam.
With a lot of money on hand, the flower gardens on the mountain are naturally managed by professionals.
Shopkeeper Tuofan bought a family of eight in Yahang. He had worked as a gardener in a wealthy family, and the man in charge was named Ge.
The garden was handed over to Master Ge and his family to manage.
Master Ge's family is down-to-earth and very careful in their work. After observing for a few days, Liu Anan felt relieved.
She wants to use roses to make balm, toner, perfume, etc. for women. Women can make money easily no matter when.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mr. Chu, who had gone home to celebrate the New Year, came back, and his grandmother, Mrs. Chu, came with him.
Mrs. Chu was tired of staying in the capital, so she followed her grandson out to relax.
After all, Liu Anan is also Third Young Master's partner, so Liu Anan also wants to pay a visit to Mrs. Chu.
Shopkeeper Fan said that Mrs. Chu was kind-hearted and very kind. She didn't have the aloofness of an old lady from aristocratic family and was very easy to get in touch with.
Liu Anan was relieved now.
Otherwise, if I meet a rigid and mean old lady, I will be disgusted to death by being a country girl.
I learned from Shopkeeper Fan that the old lady didn't sleep very well, which may be due to her age.
Liu Anan suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Fa Xiao had given him several prescriptions in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital.
One of them was a sleep regulator, and he actually cured my great-aunt's insomnia.
You can also try it yourself, just in case it works.
So Liu Anan asked her mother to sew a sachet for herself, went to Chunhe Hall to buy some Chinese medicine, mixed them together according to the proportion in memory, and carefully put them into the sachet.
The smell is very comfortable.
Mrs. Chu naturally lacked nothing, and Liu Anan did not prepare any supplements or the like.
I made some soft honey cakes, brought two small jars of home-pickled delicious side dishes, and wrapped a stick of good ginseng. Well, I dug it myself, and came to the Chu family's house in the county.
Third Young Master Chu naturally grinned happily when he saw Liu Anan. This girl felt like she had grown taller after the New Year.
I followed Mr. Chu to the old lady's Fukang Courtyard. Before I reached the main room, I heard hearty laughter coming from inside.
"The maid must be telling a joke to grandma." Chu Sanshao said with a smile.
"It's been ten years since I laughed. The old lady's laughter makes people feel comfortable."
Liu Anan could tell from the laughter that Mrs. Chu must have a cheerful and cheerful personality.
"Grandma, I heard your laughter from so far away, but Taohong and the others are telling you a joke again?"
Third Young Master Chu raised the curtain as he spoke, and Liu Anan followed in.
When the maid in the room saw the third young master coming, she hurriedly saluted and stepped aside.
Mrs. Chu saw the little girl following her grandson at a glance. Huh? It’s so beautiful, like a little fairy walking out of a painting.
"Whose girl is this? Let me see why she is so beautiful!"
Mrs. Chu patted her thigh and stretched out her hand with a smile.
Liu An'an hurriedly stepped forward to greet her and said crisply: "Liu An'an, a civilian girl, wishes to greet the old lady. I wish the old lady to smile and be happy every day."
"Hey, good girl, come here quickly and let me take a good look."
Liu Anan stepped forward generously and looked at the old lady with a smile.
A pair of black and white peach blossom eyes are as clear as water, without a trace of impurities, and are dazzlingly bright.
Only when there are no distracting thoughts in the mind can the eyes be so clean, and the old lady likes it even more.
"Grandma's little grandson, is this the little girl who works with you?" Mrs. Chu looked at Third Young Master Chu with a smile.
"Yes, my grandson's good grandmother, she is Liu An'an from the mountain village. She cooks delicious food, grows mushrooms, and makes the whole village rich together. She even managed to defeat a tiger!"
Hiss! There was a gasping sound in the room.
The maids' eyes widened. How dare such a petite and beautiful girl knock down a tiger?
The old lady's expression was even more exaggerated, her mouth opened wide, and she raised her thumb, "An'an, you are so powerful! Please teach me how to fight a tiger. I will try it later!"
ah?
This time it was Liu Anan's turn to open his little mouth and look cute.
Third Young Master Chu laughed loudly on the side and said: "Sister An An, my grandmother went to the battlefield when she was young. A Xiuluan knife once made the enemy frightened."
Liu Anan was shocked when she heard this. She was really a woman, but she didn't expect that the third young grandmother was a female general who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
Liu An'an bowed deeply and said: "In ancient times, Hua Mulan joined the army for her father. She was a woman as good as a man, and her beauty was more beautiful than her husband. The old lady is really admirable."
With a smile in her eyes, the old lady stretched out her hand to pull Liu Anan, and said gently: "Women are not inferior to men, and beauty is better than men. Well said! Xuan'er told me about the Liu family, and the little man took on the responsibility It’s really difficult for you to bear the burden of supporting your family.”
Liu Anan smiled and said, "You have to fight hard in life. I am also very grateful to the third young master. I am just a wild girl with some cleverness. The third young master does not dislike my identity and is willing to give me a hand. It is the girl who has the third young master." The young master’s is cheaper.”
"Hehehe" the old lady laughed happily.
"Your little mouth is really good at talking. You rely on your brain. Those recipes and mushrooms are not just available. You don't have those things if you don't have a brain."
Everyone in the room laughed.
Liu Anan took out the things he brought from the small backpack.
"Old madam, you don't lack anything. I didn't buy you big fish or meat. These are delicious pickled dishes at home. You can have a few bites from time to time as an appetizer. I baked these small pastries myself."
"I dug this ginseng from the mountains. In addition, I specially customized this sachet for you. You can hang it on the bedside or put it next to the pillow to help you sleep more soundly."
Liu An'an didn't say what Shopkeeper Fan said about the old lady's poor sleep. It was taboo to inquire about other people's privacy in private.
So I just say it can make the old lady sleep better and more soundly.
When the maid Tao Hong heard this, her eyes lit up, "Miss An An, can this sachet really help you sleep better?"
"An aunt in our village used it and it worked very well. Madam, you can give it a try. It contains soothing and other traditional Chinese medicine. Even if the effect is not good, there is no harm in it, right?"
The old lady took the sachet and smelled it. Not to mention, it smelled really good.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
At noon, Mrs. Chu insisted on staying with Liu Anan for dinner. There was nothing to be pretentious about, so Liu Anan stayed generously.
Mrs. Chu was really happy with the meal. She actually ate half a bowl of rice more, which made several maids extremely happy.
After coming out of Chu's house, Liu Anan went to the inn.
The old lady liked An An's pastries and side dishes very much, and ate some more in the evening.
Opening the box containing ginseng, the old lady's eyes widened. This ginseng was at least two hundred years old.
The third young master was also happy when he saw it.
This girl actually put the ginseng in such an ordinary box, she is really brave.
The old lady admired Liu Anan even more.
At night, Taohong actually placed the sachet next to the old lady's pillow. There was no harm in trying it anyway.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chu only woke up twice that night!
Not only the maids, but also Mrs. Chu herself was frightened. She had to wake up four or five times the night before!
In order to confirm whether it was really the cause of the sachet, Mrs. Chu kept the sachet next to her pillow for several days. As a result, she woke up less frequently at night these days!
Naturally, Third Young Master Chu also knew about it, but he was so beautiful that he was ruined.
My grandmother's poor sleep in recent years has made her family worried to death. Unexpectedly, a small sachet has alleviated her insomnia a lot.
The extremely smart Third Young Master immediately went to find Liu Anan.
