At this time, it was early spring, and the grapes on the grape trellis had only budded, but the two old locust trees planted next to it were already slim. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Baijie instructed the little maid to move the tables and chairs under the old locust tree, the chairs were covered with scarlet cushions, the sweet white porcelain tea set was placed on the table, and the first blooming pink or peach buds appeared on the deep and shallow flower trees next to it, and the sun fell golden spots through the branches of the old locust tree, and the humming honey lingered among the flowers from time to time, which made people look at the mood and brightened.

When Baijie asked a little maid named Xiu'er to make tea next to her, the green soup color, with all kinds of snacks in the nine boxes, the eldest lady of the Dong family couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Three generations look at food, four generations see through it, although the Dong family is also particular, they always feel that something is missing.

Now that she has seen the place of Baijiexuan, she understands a little.

With such vision and color matching, she can naturally do it herself, but no maid and daughter-in-law around her have such an eye. So Jiang Xian just left these trivial things to the people around him to do, and he just had to enjoy it.

Even if it's something like making tea, any little maid around Jiang Xian is comparable to those ladies from wealthy families.

Compared with them, Jiang Xian has more confidence and calmness.

Jiang Xian sat comfortably on the chair, took a sip of Biluochun, which was seven or eight minutes warm, and felt as if his heart and lungs were moisturized.

She squinted her eyes, always feeling that her legs were a little swollen and uncomfortable, and stretched her feet a few times.

The eldest lady of the Dong family saw Baijie bring a suede stool and put it in front of Jiang Xian, and helped Jiang Xian rest his legs on the low stool.

Jiang Xian's expression was even more comfortable.

She asked Baijie, "What about the plums that have just been washed?"

Baijie immediately handed the plum in a small crystal bowl with a snow-white handkerchief to Jiang Xian, and there was a silver fruit fork carved with bellflower flowers on the plum.

Jiang Xian lazily ate a plum and asked the eldest lady of the Dong family: "How is your father doing during this time?

The eldest lady of the Dong family sat there straight, obviously well-trained since she was a child. She hurriedly smiled: "My father is old, and the outside business has been handed over to my fourth uncle, and now he is at home most of the time." This year, the snow fell late, but it fell heavily, so my father didn't go out. ”

Jiang Xian nodded and said to her with a smile: "You don't have to be so restrained, my younger siblings and sister-in-law are not harsh people." ”

The eldest lady of the Dong family smiled bitterly in her heart.

Why didn't she want to talk and laugh in front of Jiang Xian, looking generous and elegant? But she really couldn't put on such a posture. It's better to be like it should be - her father Dong Chongjin once told her that with a status like Jiang Xian, I don't know how many people I have seen, and how many people have come up to show themselves in front of her, if she thinks she is more sophisticated than people like Wang Jidao, then go to talk and laugh, if she thinks she is not as good as people like Wang Jidao, it is best to stay by Jiang Xian's side honestly.

The eldest lady of the Dong family felt that although she was stronger than ordinary women, she was far from enough in front of Jiang Xian.

So she chose to stay honest.

"I know!" she said with a smile, "Does the county lord think these plums are delicious? This is the first batch of plums that our family grew this year, and they are more sour and less sweet." After my father tasted it, he called Master Yao to him and asked if he could grow sweeter plums. Master Yao said that some people like to eat sweet, and some people like to eat sour, and this sour thing is not necessarily bad. After my father heard this, he had some brought to the county lord to taste. He also said that if the county lord didn't like the taste, there were still two freshly fruited ones at home, and according to Master Yao, they might be sweeter than these plums sent today. ”

"I'm not particularly fond of sour, either. Jiang Xian smiled, "It may be that I have a bad appetite during this time, and I feel appetizing after eating sour, so I think this plum is delicious." ”

"That's also the fate of our family and the county lord. The eldest lady of the Dong family smiled gently and gossiped with Jiang Xian, "I was afraid that the county lord wouldn't like it before, if my father didn't think it would be good or not, he should bring this first one to the county lord to taste, and I wouldn't dare to send things to ...... in front of you."

After just a few words, Kang's and Li Dongzhi came over together.

Everyone greeted them, Jiang Xian beckoned them to sit down, and handed the crystal bowl in his hand to Baijie: "You can also taste it, I think it's pretty good." ”

A little maid came up to fetch water for Kang and Li Dongzhi to clean their hands.

Kang Shi chatted with the eldest lady of the Dong family for a few words: "When I went back to my parents' house, I heard that Master Dong donated money to hold the Lantern Festival for this Lantern Festival, and he also spent a lot of money to buy a batch of lamps from Yangzhou. It's a pity that we didn't see it in Taiyuan. ”

It was originally to curry favor with Li Qian and Jiang Xian, but who knew that it fell short.

Of course, the eldest lady of the Dong family would not say this, she smiled and said: "My father is idle these days. When I came over, I also pulled the housekeeper to talk about the Buddha Bathing Festival on the eighth day of the fourth month, saying that the Xiangji Temple had reshaped the golden body of Guanyin a few days ago, so I wanted to donate some incense money, and invited the monks in the capital to come over and hold a temple fair there. However, I did the math and felt that this time was a bit tight. It's better to wait until June 6, when the temple publishes scriptures and books, and holds temple fairs. ”

Kang took the little maid's handkerchief and wiped his hands, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is right. Now that the coffin of Emperor Daxing has been set to be buried in March, the temples of all sizes in Beijing are afraid that they will be busy with this matter, and the really famous monks may not be free, and those who are slightly inferior in reputation will not make much sense to invite them all the way. Speaking of this, she thought of the Dragon Boat Festival and said, "I don't know if I will race dragon boats this year?"

In the past, dragon boat racing must have been carried out every year, but in recent years, the world has not been good, and the scale of dragon boat racing is not as good as a year, and it was not held at all last year.

The eldest lady of the Dong family listened to it and her heart moved.

Anyway, it is to please Jiang Xian, if Jiang Xian wants to see it, it is better to go back and discuss with her father, and the Dong family will hold a dragon boat race.

She was a talkative person in the Dong family, so she made up her mind and immediately said: "My father wants to hold a dragon boat race, but without the consent of the government, it is not easy to overstep his responsibilities." ”

Things like paving roads and bridges, giving porridge and giving food, although they are good deeds, are also easy to gather fame, and they have always been taboo by the government.

If the government does not agree, the Dong family wants to spend money to run a lantern market and a dragon boat race, and they also have to worry about whether they will be charged with "conspiracy".

Of course, the Kang family knew that the Dong family did not dare to make decisions without authorization, but didn't they just say that their family was going to donate silver to the temple to hold a temple fair?

She didn't understand why Miss Dong suddenly changed her words, and it happened that Baijie had brought the crystal bowl containing plums to her at this time, and she didn't care about Miss Dong's words for a while, so she took a plum and took a bite...... This mouthful, almost didn't sour her big teeth, she couldn't help but spit out the plums in her mouth, covered her cheeks and said, "What is this? Why is it so sour?" The county lord ......" She turned around, but found that she didn't know when Jiang Xian actually leaned on the back of the chair and dozed off.

"This, what's going on?" Kang couldn't help but look at Baijie worriedly.
