90. Welcome to the Valley of the Grasses

Although she prefers meat, these almost wild ripe fruits of all kinds taste good.

The red lantern-like persimmons of a tree are naturally dried persimmons, grapes can be used to make wine, and can be dried, walnuts do not need to climb the tree to pick, they all fall to the ground, and they fall into bare eggs, and they can be picked up directly with the basket......

After a few days of picking the fruit, the four sisters from the grape courtyard came together to see the original leaves.

Under the great joy, Yuan Ye directly moved the fruits and baskets that he had just picked for a few days to entertain the guests.

"How dare you come to my Weedy Valley?" Yuan Ye asked directly while moving the basket.

Li Qiuyu was also very direct: "Isn't this Miss Seventeen not here?" ”

Mo Jingjing said: "We are also concerned about the situation of you and Miss Seventeen. Liuxiangyuan now has all kinds of rumors about Miss Seventeen, and we can't figure out whether it's true or not, so we can't rest assured, so we decided to come and see you. What is Miss Seventeen doing now? Rumor has it that she was finally identified as a rot and put in a cage on Peach Blossom Island. It is rumored that it was the nineteenth master who guaranteed her to be quarantined on Peach Blossom Island to prove that she was not a rotten seed. I think the latter is more reliable. ”

Yuan Ye nodded: "It was the Nineteenth Master who helped guarantee it." ”

"Why does the Nineteenth Master help Miss Seventeen? I've always felt like they didn't have much to do with each other. Mo Jingjing asked.

Yuan Ye said: "During this period, things are more complicated and there are many implications, so I will explain it to you in detail later." ”

These people all saw her dig out the jar from the grape courtyard with their own eyes, if she lied and concealed it, Yuan Ye felt sorry for their enthusiasm and friendship for her, if she told the truth, she was afraid that the matter would be leaked, especially if it implicated her true life experience. It's not that she can't trust these people, but there are a lot of people, in case someone is not careful at a certain time, and if she misses her mouth, she can't get it back if she regrets it.

"Did the second sister ever know about the tea tomb?" Mo Jingjing even knows that the Nineteenth Master has no friendship with Liuxiang Weiwei, and maybe she knows more. Yuan Ye couldn't help but ask.

Li Qiuyu didn't forget to interject while eating persimmons: "What tea tomb?" I know that Lin Daiyu has a flower mound, and the tea tomb is of course a tomb built for tea, and it must be something made by people who love tea. A grave was built. Bury all the tea residues you have drunk in it. ”

No one paid attention to Li Qiuyu's shouting, and they all waited for Mo Jingjing to speak.

In the eyes of everyone's expectations, Mo Jingjing did not sell Guanzi, and said directly: "In fact, the Lingering Fragrance Garden should be divided into four parts, the large park, the outer garden, the inner garden, and the tea tomb. It's just that outsiders generally only know the first three parts. I didn't know there was a fourth part of the tea tomb. Yuan Ye was at the funeral of Mrs. Nineteen, and he saw the tea tomb, right? ”

Yuan Ye remembered that the tea trees, and there were dead Liuxiang people buried below, thousands of years of accumulation, and the tea garden was terrifying. She nodded, looked at Mo Jingjing in understanding, and the other three also looked at Mo Jingjing with a thirst for knowledge, and even Li Qiuyu stopped making trouble.

Mo Jingjing looked at everyone's elementary school-like eyes and couldn't help but smile: "Actually, I don't know much, the tea garden is the ancestral tomb of the Liuxiang family." Their burial customs are very different from those of the secular world. They don't talk about thick burials. In addition to a shroud, the deceased had almost no extra funeral goods, and the coffin was also a thin real wooden coffin. Their graves are simpler, or more environmentally friendly, with no mounds or tombstones. ”

Li Qiuyu finally couldn't help but jump up and interrupt Mo Jingjing and shouted: "It's too shabby, it's a shame that their family is so rich, and they are so slamming at their ancestors!" I am reluctant to accompany the burial, and I don't even have a sealed mound and tombstone, so where will I burn paper in the grave in the future? ”

Qin Yibai glanced at her and said, "You are not a tomb robber. What does it matter to you that people don't have funeral goods? ”

Yu Xiaorou said with a smile: "If the tomb robber is concerned about the tomb of the Liuxiang family, it will be a big loss!" ”

Mo Jingjing said: "If this tomb robber has a vision, maybe he won't lose." ”

Li Qiuyu was about to jump up and shout again, but was pressed to the ground by Yuan Ye. He stuffed a chestnut in his mouth and plugged it. Li Qiuyu rolled his eyes angrily, and Qin Yi rolled under the sofa with a smile.

Mo Jingjing explained: "If the tomb robber goes at the right time, and knows how to make tea, and picks some moonshine tea, the harvest may not be smaller than that of the tomb robber." The Liuxiang family buries the deceased and does not seal the mound. Instead, plant a moonshine tea tree on it. Over the past few thousand years, the scale of that tea plantation can be imagined. She said, with a look of fascination in her eyes.

Yuan Ye shivered all over: "Second sister, do you want to go to the tea tomb of the Liuxiang family?" ”

Mo Jingjing nodded: "I really want to go and see it, but we, the staff with foreign surnames, unless we have the opportunity of Yuan Ye and are licensed by the Nineteenth Master, we can't enter the tea tomb." ”

The original leaves have a bad chill, and going to the cemetery is still a chance? If her mother can not die, she would rather not have this kind of opportunity for the rest of her life.

Yu Xiaorou was surprised: "It turns out that the moonshine tea is actually produced in the ancestral tomb of the Liuxiang family!" Doesn't it mean that those tea trees were grown by absorbing the flesh and blood of the dead clansmen of the Liuxiang family as fertilizer? ”

Mo Jingjing said: "Yes, and it is said that only by burying a clansman can a moonshine tea tree be planted." ”

"No wonder real moonshine tea is ridiculously expensive!" Yu Xiaorou sighed.

Yuan Ye's stomach churned: "I will never drink tea again!" "I was thinking in my heart, I don't know if there is moonshine tea in the tea leaves of Liuxiang Weiwei that I drank before, if there is...... Her stomach was chilling again.

Li Qiuyu said angrily: "Second sister, how do you know if you can't live?" The tea shops outside are full of moonshine tea, are they all purchased from the Liuxiang family? ”

Mo Jingjing shook her head disdainfully: "That's all fake, if you have drunk real moonshine tea, other teas will never be able to enter your mouth again." ”

The other four stretched out their heads together: "Second sister, have you drunk it?" ”

Mo Jingjing's face was full of aftertaste: "Dip my father's cheapness, drink half a cup." ”

Yuan Ye covered her mouth and ran into the toilet to vomit, as if she had drunk moonshine tea, which caused several people to laugh at her, all of them are in modern society, material circulation, conservation of energy, and even guilty of stomach cleanliness.

Yuan Ye was distressed in his heart, it was not your mother who was buried in the tea tomb to be absorbed by the moonlight tea to absorb the bones and rotten flesh, so you don't care. But thinking about it this way, my mother still has carrion absorbed by moonshine tea, which is just a jar of cremated ashes. Perhaps, as the people next to him talked about on the day of the funeral, the moonlight tea tree on my mother's grave would not live at all.

Thinking about it this way, Yuan Ye finally felt a little relieved in his heart.

Back in the living room, everyone was discussing why moonshine tea was not planted outside since it was so profitable.

Mo Jingjing said: "My father asked his better friend of the Xiangxiang family for a tea sapling, and his friend was quite embarrassed. At first, he said that he couldn't plant it, but then he promised to give it to one, and said that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to raise moonshine tea. After my father took back the tea saplings, he planted them in my yard. Serving carefully every day, more attentive than serving my mother, it turned out to grow into a moonlight vine. ”

Li Qiuyu laughed when he heard this: "I can imagine the expression of Professor Mo who was being teased, hahahaha......"

Mo Jingjing tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "My father complained to that friend that he didn't want to give tea seedlings." Why don't you get a moonlight vine all over the street to play tricks on him? His friend didn't defend himself, but just said to himself, sure enough! I also don't think Dad's friends are playing tricks on Dad, I don't know what the cause and effect is. ”

Qin Yi, Li Qiuyu, and Yu Xiaorou helped Mo Jingjing guess what the reason was while eating fruit.

Yuan Ye was not interested in planting tea trees, and he was too lazy to think about the cause and effect of what Mo Jingjing said, but one thing was certain, Mo Jingjing knew a lot more about the Lingering Fragrance Garden than herself, so she asked again: "Second sister, do you know what Purple Spirit Concubine is?" ”

"Concubine Purple Spirit?" Mo Jingjing shook her head after thinking about it and said, "I've never heard of it." Where did you hear that? ”

Mo Jingjing didn't know about it, it must be very secretive, and Yuan Ye didn't want to expose it too much, so he only said: "Well, I heard others talk about it in Leng Xiang Xiaozhu these days, so I'm curious to ask you." ”

Mo Jingjing sighed: "I only know how much about the thousands of years of accumulation of the Liuxiang family, if the history of this family is listed as a separate subject to study, I am afraid it will take many people many years to complete." Yuan Ye, after Miss Seventeen returned from quarantine. Please help me deliver this request to Miss Seventeen, I want to come to Wild Grass Zhai to be her helper. ”

As soon as Mo Jingjing said this, several people present jumped up.

"Second sister, what's wrong with you? Didn't I see you taking your medicine when I came in the morning? It can't be the wrong medicine, right? The loudest scream was Li Qiuyu.

"Huh?!" Qin Yi just one word. The first half of the tone is questioning, and the second half of the tone is changed to an exclamation tone.

"Second sister, you are really a good sister!" Yu Xiaorou treats others with herself and is emotional.

Yuan Ye was mixed, Wild Grass Valley needed manpower too much, but she always felt that Liuxiang Weiwei's one-month quarantine period would not be too quiet. "Second sister, do you really want to come? Why are you coming? In case Miss Seventeen still can't become a Xiangyu Master next year, and she leaves the Lingering Fragrance Garden, it will be difficult for you to stay in the Lingering Fragrance Garden and find other jobs. "Like her, as long as she is with Liuxiang Weiwei, she is branded as a rotten seed, and wherever she goes, others are afraid to avoid her, and no one in the garden dares to hire her.

Mo Jingjing smiled and said, "You don't have to think of me as noble, in fact, I entered the Lingering Fragrance Garden for a purpose at the beginning." ”

The image of the undercover agent in the TV series immediately appeared in the minds of the four people.

Mo Jingjing smiled again: "You don't have to look at me like a great enemy, my purpose is actually not dangerous to others, nor is it to the Liuxiang family." Do you know what I studied at university? ”

This time, it was Qin Yi who spoke first: "Didn't you study history?" ”

"To be precise, I'm an archaeology major in the Department of History."

Li Qiuyu said, "Ah, what's wrong? Could it be that you entered the Lingering Fragrance Garden to rob the tomb? Isn't the tea tomb a worthless thing except tea? ”

Mo Jingjing, who is rarely violent, slapped Li Qiuyu under the sofa: "Go, if you don't speak, will you be suffocated?" I studied history and archaeology, and I was already admitted to graduate school, but I was very interested in the history of Xiangyu of the three major families, and I also wanted to write my graduate thesis in this direction. However, there is not as much information about the three major families in the university as there are three major families, so I first took a leave of absence from my supervisor to apply for a domestic servant of the Liuxiang family, and then went back to graduate school after accumulating enough materials. My mentor was very supportive, and she was also very interested in the history of the three great families, but she suffered from the lack of research materials. Many things of the three major families are limited to family rules and cannot be accessed by outsiders. However, many of the things preserved by these three great families are very useful for us to study the history of China for thousands of years. They have lasted for thousands of years with almost no loss, and they are simply living fossils in the world of history! ”

The other four looked at Mo Jingjing with a "sure enough, undercover" gaze.

Mo Jingjing said angrily and funny: "The three great families are not opposed to studying them, and they also provide us with information within the scope of their authority, but they are limited to family rules, and many things cannot be accessed by us." For example, the library of the Liuxiang family has completely preserved thousands of years of historical information, but except for the disciples of the family, people with other surnames cannot enter, unless they are the personal first servants of the spiritual disciples of the Liuxiang family. Yuan Ye should have been to the library pavilion, right? She looked at Haraba with envy.

Yuan Ye nodded: "Oh, it's nothing to look at, it's garbled everywhere." ”

Mo Jingjing sighed: "If I can see those garbled characters, let me post the money." Yuan Ye, if Miss Seventeen allows me to come to Wild Grass Zhai, I hope you can help me and make me Miss Seventeen's first maid, so that I can be qualified to go to the Library Pavilion. Even if it's only for a year, I'm content. A year later, if Miss Seventeen still can't become a Xiangyu teacher, I will also leave Liuxiangyuan to study for graduate school. Being able to go to the library of the Liuxiang family for a year to read the historical materials was enough for my mentor and my father's peers to envy. ”

Knowing that Mo Jingjing was only engaged in research, Yuan Ye said unequivocally: "Okay, the first maid belongs to you, anyway, I don't have to look at those garbled characters." ”

The two reached an agreement, and Yu Xiaorou also mustered up the courage to say to Yuan Ye: "Yuan Ye, I also want to come to Wild Grass Zhai, please send a request to Miss Seventeen for me." ”

"Huh?" Yuan Ye looked at Yu Xiaorou in confusion.

"I also came to Liuxiang Garden for a purpose, you all know, first I wanted to learn the system of zuò fragrant jade, and then I knew that I needed bloodline to learn, so I only hope to learn the fragrance technique of the Liuxiang family. But for more than a year, I have been working in the orchard, and I have not had the opportunity to learn how to carve jade. If this continues, I don't think I'll have the opportunity to become an assistant to a certain jade master if I have been tending to the orchard for decades. Our family's jade shop is still waiting for me to inherit and take care of it in the future. Miss Seventeen's technique is also the number one in the Lingering Fragrance Garden, so I want to come to be an assistant to Miss Seventeen and learn the technique of lingering incense. If after a year, Miss Seventeen can't become a fragrant jade master, I will leave the Lingering Fragrance Garden and go back to our jade shop. At that time, if Miss Seventeen has nowhere to go, Miss Seventeen is also welcome to go to our jade shop to be a master, but I don't know if I can invite Miss Seventeen? Yu Xiaorou told a few people her plan crisply.
