Mrs. Zhang is feeding the chickens. She raises more than a dozen chickens at home and produces more than a dozen eggs every day. These are Mrs. Zhang's treasures and no one else is allowed to touch them.
Seeing Jiang Miao, she straightened up and came out of the chicken pen.
"There is rice left in the pot for you, go and eat it."
"This is a sachet made for my mother. Please try it on quickly." Jiang Miao handed a white lotus-shaped sachet with green tassels to Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang wiped her hands with the apron around her waist and took it carefully.
"Is this... for me? How can I, an old woman, use such a good thing? Let's give it to the third child." She wiped her hands several times for fear of getting the sachet dirty.
"My husband, my mother works very hard every day. Wearing a sachet can also prevent mosquitoes."
Jiang Miao tied it for her. Mrs. Zhang looked around and saw that she liked it. Even the wrinkles on her face were a few deep.
"Mom knows you are filial, so next time I'll sell it to the town. It won't matter if my old arms and legs get bitten twice."
Mrs. Zhang was used to being thrifty and would not use the good things. Jiang Miao persuaded her to accept them.
"It's not right to be filial to my mother. Who asked my mother to love me!"
Mrs. Zhang was so coaxed that she didn't want to worry about ironing. When she heard that Jiang Miao wanted to use the stove, she didn't even blink and gave her a pound of charcoal, asking her to make whatever she wanted.
The Shen family only has ten acres of land in total. After a few people harvested the crops, Father Shen took his two sons to the town to find work.
Mrs. Wang went to the river early in the morning with her dirty clothes, while Mrs. Xu was heavy in the house knitting blessing knots. As soon as Mrs. Zhang left, Jiang Miao was the only one left in the courtyard.
She took out the things she bought at the drugstore yesterday and put the remaining dried flowers into categories next to them.
Jiang Miao looked at the beeswax in her hand and had an idea. The sachet contained dried flowers. Others would know how to make it just by looking at it. It was just a fresh idea, not a long-term solution.
According to what the little lady yesterday said, incense was still a very precious thing in ancient times. She happened to like tinkering with these things in her previous life and had many incense beads and recipes in her mind.
With half a piece of beeswax, Jiang Miao made ten scented beads, five rose scented ones, and five orchid scented beads. She put them into sachets separately, thinking that she would order some boxes when she had time. Not only would they look good, but the scent would also last longer.
long.
There was a sachet intended for Shen Yanqing in the sewing basket. Jiang Miao hit her head. The embarrassment of being in the same room last night made her forget to hug her thighs. How could this be possible?
Jiang Miao took the sachet and entered the kitchen, where Mrs. Zhang was packing Shen Yanqing's lunch. Today, Wang made it, two-faced steamed buns and a bowl of cabbage and tofu. No oil was added, and the clear soup looked bland with little water.
"Mom, let me go and deliver food to my husband." She just happened to deliver the fragrant beads to Jinxiu Pavilion.
"It just rained, please go slower on the road." Mrs. Zhang gave her an extra steamed bun, fearing that she would be hungry along the way. She was happier than anyone else that the relationship between the young couple had improved.
Shen Yanqing listened to Xu Ziwen's chattering all the way. He didn't sleep well last night, and his head was buzzing and hurting.
"This sachet, let alone it works. I haven't been bitten by a mosquito since I put it on yesterday. My sister has been caring since she was a child. She always thinks of her brother when she has good things..."
As if Xu Ziwen couldn't say enough, he showed off to others. Shen Yanqing couldn't stand it anymore and walked quickly to the door.
"Hey, don't go..." Before he could finish speaking, Xu Ziwen extended his hand.
In the past, he only envied Shen Yanqing, but now he can finally win back the victory.
Humph, he must be jealous that he has a good sister!
When Jiang Miao arrived at the academy, she saw Shen Yanqing being pushed and pulled by his classmates. He looked helpless but not annoyed. It seemed that the two of them had a good relationship at first sight.
"Ms. sir, it's time to eat."
Shen Yanqing broke away from the man and took the basket. When he saw the food inside, the light in his eyes dimmed, but it returned to normal in the next moment. Jiang Miao quickly suspected that she had seen it wrong.
He secretly despised himself. It was easy to change from frugal to extravagant and difficult to change from extravagant to frugal. After eating the dishes cooked by Jiang Miao, eating anything else was just the same.
"Ms. sir, this is the sachet I made specially for you. It contains a sachet to repel mosquitoes. If you wear this and study at night, you won't be bitten by mosquitoes!"
Jiang Miao waited for him to finish, then handed over the sachet in her sleeve.
Shen Yanqing raised his head suddenly. There was a dark blue under his eyes, which was more obvious against his fair skin. His eyes were so bright that Jiang Miao was a little frightened.
"What...what's wrong?"
"It's okay, thank you for your hard work." Shen Yanqing lowered her eyes, her crow-green eyelashes covered the dark look under her eyes, and her slender hand touched her fingertips, and Jiang Miao's whole body felt numb for a moment.
"It's not hard work. I'm willing to do anything as long as my husband is good."
Why is it so hard? You will have to pay it back in the future anyway!
Shen Yanqing looked at the woman's charming smile, his face felt a little hot, and the fire from last night was burning in his heart again.
He squeezed the sachet in his hand tightly. The white sachet was embroidered with green bamboo. With a few stitches, the elegance of the bamboo was outlined. You could still smell the faint fragrance when holding it in your hand.
Shen Yanqing frowned, was he sick? Otherwise, why was everything wrong?
