Jiang Miao was not trying to deal with her. Xu was quite talented in embroidery. Although she was not as skilled as those embroiderers who had been there for decades, her patterns and colors were very novel. A pomegranate edge was pinched out from the small pouch of this lucky bag type.
There are also tassels and two bells hanging on the bottom, which jingle when walking, which is very interesting.
She dialed it casually and listened to the sound of the bell.
Seeing that she really liked her, Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Summer is about to start, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in the yard. You often go out and walk around, so you must use this mosquito repellent herb, otherwise you will suffer from a few bites."
"Yes, Miaoya remembers."
Jiang Miao hung the purse on her waist. She didn't see that Mrs. Xu's nervous eyes suddenly brightened up, and the corners of her mouth were raised. Her heart, which had been high, finally dropped.
"I still have something to do at home. Your second brother is going to buy a new pillow soon. I'll go back and embroider a few more patterns quickly so that the embroidery girl below can follow suit."
As she said this, she stood up and left in such a turbulent way that the stool was not even warm.
Qingwei brought a bowl of fruit over there. Before the greeting was finished, Mrs. Xu waved her hand and disappeared from the outer door.
"Second sister-in-law, what are you doing in such a hurry..."
Jiang Miao shook her head, her eyes falling on Qingwei's hand.
She had finished her bowl of fruit, but she was not satisfied yet. Now she looked at the bowl full of fruit and she was greedy again.
"You have finished today's portion. Please give this bowl to your servant."
Qingwei took a step back, took the bowl of fruit and hid it behind her so that Jiang Miao couldn't see it.
"Good Qingwei, let me have a few more bites. This bowl is only as big as a palm. I haven't even eaten enough, so it's gone..."
As she spoke, the sweetness of fruit and the mellowness of milk were still on her tongue. Together with the soft and waxy honey beans, she could eat three large bowls by herself, which was not enough to fill the gap between her teeth.
But Qingwei pouted and didn't listen to her at all.
"My lord has told me not to be greedy. This fruit is cool after all. Eating too much is bad for your health. How about I bring you a cup of warm milk with a spoonful of honey in it to satisfy your craving?"
Qingwei moved Shen Yanqing out, and Jiang Miao had no choice. She whined, leaned her upper body on the table, and waved to her feebly.
"Okay."
Sitting like this, her belly, which was more than eight months old, looked extremely big. Jiang Miao couldn't even see her toes when she lowered her head.
She touched it through her thin clothes and muttered.
"You two little guys, come out quickly, my mother is going to be hungry..."
You can't eat anything while pregnant, and even if you can eat, you can't eat too much. This is simply torture for a foodie.
"It's only half a month. Master, please bear with me a little longer."
Qinglian walked in with a smile, holding a basket of sophora flowers in her hand, which was a fresh gift from Zhuangzi.
Sophora japonica is eaten in the countryside, especially during this lean season, the fragrant sophora japonica rice has become the most popular thing.
The farmers in Zhuangzi planted a lot of vegetables and fruits this spring because of the greenhouses built by Jiang Miao. Jiang Miao was not harsh and gave them bonuses based on their harvests. In just one spring, some farmers received dozens of
The dividend of two taels of silver has caught up with their monies of the previous year.
They didn't have anything good to show their respect to their boss. Knowing that Jiang Miao liked to eat, they picked a lot of fresh locust flowers and brought them to her for her to enjoy.
No, when Qinglian received it, the locust flowers had been carefully selected and placed in a bamboo basket, with a faint fragrance.
Jiang Miao's eyes lit up, and she stretched out her hand to grab it. The flowers were full and white, with a delicate fragrance, and they looked delicious.
"Send it to the kitchen and steam it to make Sophora japonica rice. You ask Mrs. Lu to pound more garlic, fry the chili oil freshly, add some vinegar and soy sauce, and mix it together to make it more fragrant."
As she spoke, she wanted to drool.
In her previous life, she was born in an orphanage. There was a big locust tree in the courtyard. In May, the locust trees were in full bloom, and the dean's mother would cook locust flower rice for them. Thinking about it, she actually missed the taste.
"Hey, slave, let's go right away."
Qinglian bowed slightly, picked up the bamboo basket and went out. Qingwei looked at the fruit in her hand, fearing that Jiang Miao would be greedy, and because she wanted to bring her warm milk, she also left behind her sister.
A gust of wind blew from the flower hall, carrying the fragrance of locust flowers. The bell on her waist jingled, and Jiang Miao couldn't help but come back to her senses.
The memories of her past life are getting further and further away. It has been six years since she traveled to this era. Jiang Miao counted all the things she did after traveling but still felt that it was not enough.
Even in developed modern times, there are countless orphans, let alone backward ancient times. Many families cannot even provide food and clothing.
She thought that after conquering Xixia, she would follow Shen Yanqing to look elsewhere. It would be great if she could develop one area and help people get rid of poverty and become rich.
Moreover, she can also see the scenery of various places in ancient times.
However, the most important thing now is the two children in her belly and the overseas business she planned. She has too many things to do and wishes she could grow more hands.
"Hey, let's do it step by step."
She couldn't go out until the child was three years old. After all, the environment in ancient times was not as good as in modern times. Even if there were children in modern times, it would be difficult for them to travel far away, let alone ancient times when travel was difficult.
If she really wants to go out, the first thing she should do is to build the road.
Thinking of this, Jiang Miao suddenly realized that she hadn't taken out the cement yet, and she had been ignoring such a useful thing.
Cement is very convenient and easy to use whether it is building roads or houses. Moreover, if it wants to do maritime trade, it will inevitably interact with more countries, and accordingly, the protection must be strengthened.
After all, even in Dayan today, there are water bandits and pirates, and there are Japanese pirates causing trouble in the southwest.
This is also the reason why Zhao Jing did not open the sea market before. Xixia has asked Dayan to send out almost all the troops. There is no manpower to suppress the bandits, so they can only use the simplest and crudest method to directly ban them.
She sat in the flower hall for a long time, the breeze carried the fragrance of various flowers and plants to her face, and the bell around her waist rang from time to time, making Jiang Miao feel irritable for no reason.
I don't know if it's due to overuse of my brain, but I'm a little tired.
She had been ill for more than eight months, and it was inconvenient to move around, and she would not leave the maid by her side, so Qingwei came over from the kitchen very quickly.
Seeing Jiang Miao finish drinking the milk and wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, Qingwei was about to help her up.
"Master, you have been outside for a long time today. It's time to go back to your room."
Moreover, she looked at Jiang Miao's pale face and thought it was because of the wind blowing outside.
The master is now very delicate, so he cannot afford to make any mistakes.
"Well, let's go."
Jiang Miao held her hand and stood up. She felt dizzy when she stood up, which frightened Qingwei and also frightened Shen Yanqing who walked in.
