The next morning, when the sky was dark, Xiangtao yawned and got up, ready to go to the kitchen to help.
Although she was not a servant of the Yan family, she still followed Yan Shiqing's habit and helped out with whatever she could every day.
"Good morning, Brother Aoki!"
Aoki glanced at Xiangtao, with a complicated expression in his eyes.
This girl usually doesn't show off her appearance, but I never thought that she is a rare understanding person.
If Mrs. Ruan hadn't been persuaded by her, I really don't know what would have happened.
Although she is also a servant, in the eyes of her own girl, she is the grandmother who raised her, and no one can touch her.
"Morning, you're still young, and it's getting early now. Why don't you go and sleep for a while, and I'll leave some for you after breakfast."
Xiangtao covered her mouth and yawned again, looked up in surprise, and saw Aoki talking so much for the first time in so long, and then shook her head.
"No, after dinner, I have to go out for something. When I come back, I have to clean the yard, and then I have to pick small white flowers. In the early afternoon, I have to go to the potato field to have a look, and wait for someone from Jishi Hall to come to collect the small white flowers."
The little white flower named Jasmine that Sister Shiqing left behind is really valuable.
Although they are picked every time when the sun is shining, not much is picked, but the price is high.
The jasmine flowers at Sanjinyuan are well taken care of, with many stamens, and more than six kilograms can be picked every day. More than 600 fen per day, or 20 taels per month.
I don’t know if Jishitang will still charge the same price next year. This year, Ruanjiakeng and her family in Yangjiacun both have a shortage of crops.
If it were all at this price, everyone's life would be much easier.
When Aoki heard so many things about her, he stopped saying anything.
Now the house is open to the outside world, and he is the housekeeper, cook and bodyguard.
He is in charge of the daily expenses of the house, so making money is naturally the best thing.
He didn't know how much money his wife had, but it was all immovable and would be used as a dowry for the girl.
As for the newly harvested grains, they were not moved and were kept just in case.
The money earned by the medical clinic is used to fund the purchase of medicines. If there is any excess, it is used to purchase land.
Therefore, all the expenses in the mansion, including human relations, are now solely on Xiaoyun's side.
However, after growing her potatoes, she would sell them elsewhere, and the money earned would be used to buy land.
So far this year, only the little white flower's income has truly been handed over to him.
Fortunately, for more than two months in a row, there were small 20 taels.
Alas, before the girl left, she left him two hundred taels, which was not enough to provide the family with three years of silver and four seasons of clothing.
I hope the girl can quickly send over the secret recipe for some powder, so that Xiangtao can earn more money and solve his predicament.
Otherwise, he really wants to go to Yangjiacun to hunt and sell it for money.
It is difficult to be a housekeeper, but it is even more difficult to be a cook, especially a cook who has to think of his own ideas for everything he eats.
I grow some of the vegetarian vegetables at home, so I don’t have to spend any money on them.
But meat dishes are a problem.
For example, since there are guests these days, he still has to go to Yangjiacun every day, either fishing or going up the mountain to catch some game.xdw8
Is there such a hard-working guard as him? It would be better to exchange it with Xiaowa!
Xiangtao didn't understand that her few words aroused Qingmu's worries. After helping to cook the meal, she took Mrs. Ruan to Yangjia Village.
No matter what she thinks in her heart, there are some things that she must see with her own eyes.
Under the attention of some people, Mrs. Ruan followed Xiang Tao into Yangjiacun.
When I saw the burned house with only a pile of ashes left, I froze in disbelief.
Although she also thought about how bad it would be, it was far less shocking than seeing it with her own eyes.
"Grandma, have you seen it clearly? If there is someone here, he will be burned alive. A person with such a vicious mind has done such a thing. Can you solve the problem with just an apology?"
Mrs. Ruan's eyes were dull and she could not speak for a long time.
"Yesterday, Yang Jiaxiang asked the elders in the village to come forward to resolve the matter between his mother and his father. I am afraid that today they will be completely separated under the witness of Mr. Jiang. In the final analysis, this is Yan Xuezhi's crime. A good family
, they broke up just like that, just because they didn’t like her.”
Xiang Tao said with a sarcastic smile on her lips.
"I'll go ask her what she thinks!"
As Mrs. Ruan spoke, her vision gradually returned to clarity, and she walked firmly towards Yan's house.
If it's really her, then I won't care about it from now on.
She went to eat fast and chant Buddha's name to eliminate some karma for her.
Yan Xuezhi had a hard time these past two days, and she didn't know how she got home that night in front of everyone.
She didn't know when her hair was burnt. She only remembered that her brother Xiang looked at her with disgust and cold eyes, as if he knew what was going on.
He didn't say it out loud, maybe because she was his sister.
Yes, that must be the case.
Even though his sister was engaged, he still couldn't forget it. When he looked at his sister's portrait, he was so affectionate.
She had never seen this before when he looked at her.
She originally thought that she didn't want to live anymore, but the moment the fire started, she was still afraid.
It was at that moment that I realized that I didn’t really want to die.
Will he tell everyone that she set the fire?
No, that's not right. At that time, everyone was in chaos and the house burned down. No one saw her. As long as she didn't admit it, no one could do anything to her.
She doesn't want to die, she wants to see Brother Xiang win the election, and then she can follow him, no, she will definitely marry him.
It's just that Mrs. Chang was really annoying. She didn't like him. Why didn't he burn her to death at that time?
No, it was right not to be burned to death. If Chang died and Brother Xiang was in the period of mourning, he would not be able to take part in the scientific examination.
What should she do to make Brother Xiang stop hating her and slowly fall in love with her in the future?
How about taking care of Mrs. Chang?
Yes, take care of her. As long as she likes him, Brother Xiang will also like him.
He is so filial, and he will listen to Chang's words.
Thinking about it, he likes his sister because Mrs. Chang also likes her sister.
Having made up her mind, Xuezhi went into the kitchen, took some white flour buns, gritted her teeth, and put in the hard-boiled eggs her father had left for her.
Mr. Chang is not in good health now and is weak, so he should take supplements.
When Mrs. Ruan arrived, she happened to see Xuezhi carrying a basket and planning to go out.
"Where are you going? Let me ask you, did you set the fire?"
"Grandma, what are you talking about? You are so early in the morning. Are you crazy?"
Xuezhi said, and reached out to touch Mrs. Ruan's forehead, with concern in her eyes.
"Don't talk about things that are or are not, you should know what I mean. Xiangzi already said that it was you who set the fire, and he saw it. The reason why he didn't say it in public was to save some face for you. You
