Chapter 490 The male protagonist's cannon fodder cousin (13)
Grandmother stared blankly at the load of old gifts, then came back to her senses, let out a cry, sat on the ground, howled and cursed:
"That damn girl who killed a thousand swords! How dare you fool me like this!"
"What 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. I agreed to give it to our family as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift, and 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 hold her breath.
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 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'm not doing it for you! When I was three years old, I asked the master for free. Is it free to go to the academy to study? You don't have to pay for it 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 something flashy every time, it would never be like this Other wealthy households often give money 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 began to cry.
Sun Zhiqian was at a loss: "Mom, it's my son, isn't it! Stop crying!"
Grandmother beat her chest and cried loudly: "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 they are two big piles like this, 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! The gift note had a letter on it, indicating that it was for her family. If she sold it, she 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!"
Grandma 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.
Everyone in the neighborhood 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 gift."
"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 pass the provincial examination.
By that time, her son will be the master of civil affairs, and he will have to give that damn girl a good beating to get out of this bad mood.
In that room, Xu Yin finished her 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 falls ill 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.
The purple flower branches form a sea of purple mist, and a gust of autumn wind blows, and the fragrance is overflowing.
In fact, the best flower viewing season for lavender is June and July. Unfortunately, it is already the end of April when it comes here. It takes some time to plant and breed. It will not 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 of lavender and its rich and unique fragrance.
"What a beautiful flower! 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 species 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 take it back to put in the vase in the study."
After saying this, Hong Qian 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 just 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 vessels, 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?
