Back home, Mrs. Shen said happily: "From today on, we will listen to your sister on everything in our family." Sheng Shi also nodded, picked up Xiao Tao and said, "Thanks to sister, you can follow Li Lang in middle school." Medical skills!"
Xiao Tao couldn't believe her ears, and she hurriedly asked: "Sister, is this true?"
There is a law in the Dasheng Dynasty that stipulates that civilian women can pass the examination of medical women to enter the government offices in various places and enjoy a salary, and the outstanding ones can be selected into the palace as female imperial doctors in the harem.
Sheng Shi told Xiao Tao what happened today, and Xiao Tao said in disbelief: "Sister, you actually know medical skills, so why don't you learn it?"
Sheng Guoer stroked Xiao Tao's head and said, "Because my sister wants to make money for you to go to school!"
With tears in her eyes, Xiao Tao hugged Sheng Guoer and said, "Sister, I will study hard. When I grow up, I will buy a lot of delicious food for you, mother and brother."
Sheng Guoer touched Xiao Tao sympathetically and said, "Okay, sister believes in you."
Then, Sheng Guoer said to Sheng Shi, "Second brother, after my sister makes money, she will also send you to a private school."
Go to private school! Sheng Shi's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Shen said with some worry: "Guo'er, the tuition of private school is too expensive. We... we also have Xiaotao's tuition. This burden..."
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "Mom, it's okay, I'm here. No matter how poor we are, we can't afford education. As long as these two children can have a future, our family will have hope!"
Shen's eyes turned red with emotion. She wiped the corners of her eyes and said sternly: "Sheng Shi, Xiao Tao, kneel down for your sister!"
Sheng Shi and Xiao Tao knelt in front of Sheng Guo'er. Shen said, "Say, from now on, you must work hard and listen to your sister in everything."
Sheng Shi and Xiao Tao said in unison: "We must work hard in the future and listen to my sister in everything."
Sheng Guoer hurriedly helped her younger siblings up and said, "There's no need for this. My sister understands. Let's make money first!"
Mrs. Shen smiled and looked at the three siblings with a look of relief.
In the early morning of this day, Sheng Guoer got up early and saw that the pine nuts were almost dry, so he heated up the pot, put salt, various seasonings and pine nuts in it and stir-fried them together. The aroma was like a hook, attracting Shen and Sheng The real brother and sister pulled him up.
"Sister, what are you doing? It smells so good?" Sheng Shi asked, rubbing his eyes.
Sheng Guoer was busy stir-frying and said, "Second brother, go and cover the basket with linen and bring it over here!"
Sheng Shi did as he was told. Seeing that the heat was almost done, Sheng Guoer put the fried pine nuts into the basket and said, "When it cools down, help me cover it with a piece of linen and tie the basket tightly. "
Sheng Shi agreed, and Sheng Guoer said: "There are still a few steamed buns and jam left in the breakfast. You guys eat first and tell mother that I have something to go out for!"
After finishing speaking, Sheng Guo'er went to look at the pickled jam. The jar of jam was also pickled. Guo'er smiled knowingly, picked up the basket, put the jam in the bag and carried it on her back, and went out.
Sheng Guoer came to Grandma Wang's house, gave Tieniu 20 cents, and asked him to drive her back and forth to the countryside.
Tieniu was naturally happy, so he hitched up the car and the two of them drove towards the countryside.
When they arrived at Hong Yuan's maternal home, Sheng Guoer first carried the robe on his back, then put the basket with pine nuts on the bullock cart, and said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, go wait for me under the big elm tree first. I'll meet you at noon." Just come back."
Tieniu nodded and said, "Okay, sister, be careful yourself."
Hong Yuan's wife's house has cornices and brackets, and is luxuriously decorated. The archway at the entrance is being repaired, and workers are painting gold and red on the archway.
When Sheng Guoer arrived at the door, two servants stopped her on the left and right.
"Little girl, can you enter this place?" the servant said arrogantly.
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "The two eldest brothers just want some passing money, I understand."
While talking, Sheng Guoer took out some copper plates and handed them over. The two servants smiled happily and hurried forward to get the money. However, suddenly two buckets of lime fell from the archway and hit the two servants on the back. The two guys fell to the ground instantly and fainted.
The workers on the archway hurriedly shouted for help, and the servants in the yard also ran out.
Sheng Guoer thought to herself, does this count as my luck? She smiled helplessly and carried the basket into Hong Yuanwai's house.
It's such a big house. Sheng Guoer looked at the door of the Qingtang House in front of her with envy in her heart: "Sooner or later, I will let my family live in a house like this."
After passing Ruyi Pavilion, Daoxiang Village, and jumping over the lotus pond, Sheng Guoer came to Suzhou Waterside Pavilion. Although she had seen Suzhou gardens, Hong Garden Gardens were not far behind them.
At this moment, a familiar figure in the waterside pavilion appeared in front of Sheng Guoer.
"Auntie!" Sheng Guoer shouted sharply.
When Mrs. Xie heard the sound, she thought it sounded familiar, so she looked back. Sheng Guoer's eyes turned into crescent moons with smiles, and she ran up and said, "Auntie, it turns out you really live here!"
The maid next to her tried to stop him, but was stopped by Mr. Xie.
Ms. Xie said: "You look so familiar. Oh, I remembered. You are the little girl selling mushrooms! How did you get in?"
Sheng Guoer nodded and said: "The Hong family has a good family background. They probably knew that I wanted to bring jam to my aunt, so they specially left the door open for me. Also, my aunt has a good memory, so I specially brought it to you this time." Here comes the jam.”
Ms. Xie knew that the concierge must have made an oversight, but she did not blame Sheng Guoer. Instead, she smiled and said, "What kind of jam?"
Sheng Guoer took out the jam from the bag and put it on the table, then naturally took Ms. Keep your word!”
After saying that, Sheng Guoer opened the jam.
Xie looked at the lovely Sheng Guoer and said, "My child, I just said it casually, but you took it seriously."
Sheng Guoer blinked her big eyes and said: "I always feel that my aunt is a person who keeps her word. Besides, I really like her. She looks like my mother, so I want to give her a taste. .”
This sentence touched the softest part of Xie's heart.
In fact, Ms. Xie has no children, which is one of the things she hates most in her life, so she displays a resolute and strong woman attitude inside and outside the palace.
Now that there is an innocent little girl treating me like this, I am very comforted and said softly: "It's rare for you to be so filial and honest at such a young age."
In fact, Sheng Guoer's treatment of Mr. Xie was not entirely to promote her own products. She could tell that Mr. Xie was not happy as early as the market.
With many years of working experience in the workplace in her previous life, coupled with Grandma Wang's "intelligence", Sheng Guoer's first impression was that Mr. Xie was a reliable person. Although Sheng Guoer wanted to make money, she also wanted to make this friend.
Therefore, she is a heart-to-heart friend-like recommendation for Metabolism.
As long as Mr. Xie approves and builds this network, sales will naturally occur, and there is no need to make money from Mr. Xie.
So Sheng Guoer said: "My aunt bought my matsutake and mushrooms, which saved my family's needs. These things are nothing."
Xie ordered: "Go and get some pastries for the girl to eat."
Then Xie asked: "By the way, I still don't know what your name is?"
Sheng Guo'er said: "My name is Sheng Guo'er, just call me Guo'er."
Xie Shi smiled and nodded, pulling Guo'er to sit next to her. Xie Shi, who had always been stern, was now as gentle as water, which surprised even Mingyue, the personal maid beside her.
You must know that Mrs. Xie has always been serious about words, treating strangers almost like a piece of ice, and treating her servants almost like a queen.
But this little country girl made Xie very happy with just a few words. Mingyue thought that even though this little girl was smart, her luck was a little better. After all, Xie was also a good person.
The changes in the maid's eyes and expressions naturally did not escape Sheng Guo'er's eyes. She had a plan in mind and said, "Auntie, my jam needs to be paired with steamed buns to make it delicious. Can I go to the kitchen and have a look?"
Ms. Xie nodded and said, "Ming Yue, take Guo'er to the kitchen to have a look. She can eat whatever she likes."
Mingyue bowed and said, "Yes!"
Then, Sheng Guoer followed Mingyue to the kitchen.
On the way, Mingyue ignored Sheng Guoer, and Sheng Guoer was also thinking about how to talk to her. At this moment, she accidentally met Tai Caifeng, the third aunt of the Hong family.
"Hey, who is this?" Caifeng Yaoli looked at Sheng Guo'er while chewing melon seeds and said, "The little girl is very pretty. If she goes to Xinyue Tower, she will be the number one good husband."
This Caifeng was born in Xinyuelou. She was the concubine of Hong Yuanwai who spent 50,000 taels of silver to redeem herself. This woman had a seductive aura.
Sheng Guoer felt that although this person was annoying, she had an indescribable feeling about him. It felt weird, as if there was a human flavor in this woman's demonic aura.
Mingyue said: "This is the little girl who delivers jam to Madam. I will take her to the kitchen to have something to eat."
Caifeng sneered and said, "If it tastes good, I'll send a can to my aunt!"
Then Caifeng gave Mingyue a handful of melon seeds and said, "Mingyue, we both like to eat nuts. These are newly fried melon seeds. You can try them too!"
After saying that, Caifeng twisted her waist and left.
Sheng Guoer took the opportunity to ask: "Sister Mingyue, it turns out you like eating pine nuts. Does Aunt Xie like it?"
Mingyue made a shushing gesture, pulled Sheng Guo'er aside and said, "Keep your voice down, my wife doesn't like nuts the most. In fact, in the final analysis, it's because she doesn't like third aunt that she doesn't like to eat them."
Speaking of this, Mingyue said to herself sadly: "Whenever she sees nuts, she will think of her third concubine, and then she will get angry, making me unable to eat them."
Sheng Guoer rolled his eyes and said, "Sister Mingyue, I didn't expect you to like eating too. I have some pine nuts, can you try them for me?"
Mingyue's eyes lit up and she asked, "Seriously?"
Sheng Guoer nodded and said, "Really, we're done, come with me to get it! I'll give it to you!"
Mingyue smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
Then, Mingyue took Sheng Guoer to the kitchen, got the steamed buns and quickly returned to Gusu Waterside Pavilion.
Mrs. Xie tasted the steamed bun dipped in jam according to what Sheng Guoer said. It was really delicious. Ms. Xie said with a smile: "Little girl is really good at thinking. Okay, I want all of this from you. Go to the accounting office to get a red envelope."
Sheng Guoer shook his head and said, "I don't want it. I gave this to my aunt. I still have a lot of them there."
Mrs. Xie thought to herself that this little girl is really a ghost, so she smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I want this, and the rest you have, I will help you recommend it to Lin Yuan's wife in Dongcheng, whose old lady loves to eat jam. , I’m worried that I don’t have any new jam, I think you might as well just sell your jam to him.”
Sheng Guoer didn't expect that she would sign a big deal this time! It seems that the Lin family is also going to make a trip.
The market for jam has initially opened up, followed by pine nuts and nuts. Sheng Guoer gave Mingyue a look, and Mingyue naturally understood. She wanted to taste the nuts quickly, but Sheng Guoer was thinking about how to catch up with the third concubine's sales line to sell pine nuts.
