Regarding Cui's shopkeeper's statement, Qian Yijin and Qian Yixiu both nodded in agreement.

Qian Sangui was even more moved, he didn't expect that such a big official of the Guogong Mansion could put down his posture and cooperate with his family to grow tea, and he trusted his family so much, a bag of uncertain tea boys could give his family a dividend.

After that, Qian Hua, who had been the shopkeeper, was called, and several people discussed some cooperation agendas, wrote them down, and took them to the county government another day.

Seeing that it was not early, Shopkeeper Cui got up and left in a hurry, and he couldn't enter the city gate any later than that.

After the shopkeeper Cui left, Qian Yixiu took out the two strings of Buddhist beads, gave Qian Sangui a string, and gave Cheng Yue a string. He was also embarrassed to say to Wu, "Milk, my father and my mother are both sick, and this Buddha bead can calm the nerves, so I will give them to the two of them first." Another day, I'll ask the master for a string of filial piety. ”

Wu smiled, "Milk knows that Xiu'er is filial. No matter how good this Buddha bead is, it is not as good as the gold-inlaid jade hairpin you gave milk. Don't go to the master to ask for something, it's not good. ”

This is because the values are different, and the problems are looked at differently. Qian Yixiu was very reluctant to go, afraid that the Wu family would be too careful, but he was still too careful.

Wu's grandmother is really good, unlike some greedy mothers-in-law, who have to dominate everything by themselves, and are reluctant to give her daughter-in-law a little something. She fully fulfilled her promise to her son when she left, and truly regarded her daughter-in-law as her own daughter.

Although the little lady's "phoenix" fell in Pingyang, it was a blessing in misfortune to be able to fall into this home.

After dinner, Wu sorted out the things sent by the shopkeeper, including wine, snacks, candy, candied fruit, school supplies, etc., and piled up half of the Luohan bed. It's a great gift.

Qian Sangui asked the Wu family to divide some of these things, and sent one copy to each of Wang's housekeepers, Li Landlord's family, Wanlizheng's family, and Wandazhong's family, and these families only went to help Dafang for their own sake. It was precisely because of their help that Qian Mandie was able to leave the Yang family smoothly. Otherwise, just with their old Qian family, Diegu would not be able to get out.

As for Wang Lizheng and the others, let the big house return this gift.

The mother and daughter went back to the hut, and Cheng Yue smiled and took out three sets of new clothes and three pairs of new embroidered shoes for Qian Yixiu to try.

A few days ago, Cheng Yue very formally proposed to the Wu family to make a few more satin summer shirts and a few pairs of silk embroidered shoes for her daughter, so that the Wu family could take out more than ten feet of silk. also pulled Qian Yijin out for comparison, saying that Jinwa is a male baby, and there are several sets of silk caftan trees, but Xiu'er only has one set of silk clothes, or spring shirts.

Wu was reluctant and said, "Xiu'er is a female baby, how can she compare with a male baby?" If Jinwa wants to go to school, she must have a few sets of good clothes to change into. Where is Xiu'er only a set of silk clothes, didn't she make a set of silk summer shirts last year? It's short before you wear a few waters, and if you pick it up again, it's also a good set of clothes. If you really want to do it, you will make her another cloth. ”

Cheng Yue's eyes turned red, and she said sadly, "Mother, if Brother Jiang sees Xiu'er being taken by us so casually, he will be unhappy and blame Yue'er." Yue'er will no longer wear satin clothes in the future, and will wear them all to embroidery. ”

Wu really couldn't figure it out, if his granddaughter didn't bring it well, other people's children wouldn't live, and he said, "What, let's bring Xiu'er at will?" Yue'er has never been out, and I don't know how those people in the village bring their girls. When I was a child, I was reluctant to even clip diapers for them, and threw them on the bed to pee with her. When I grew up, I had to do all kinds of work in tattered clothes, and I couldn't eat a bite of good food. ”

Cheng Yue wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "No matter what other people's girls bring, but Yue'er's daughter is going to bring fine." ”

Wu said disapprovingly, "Yo, you're not a princess or a county lord, why don't you ...... your daughter?"

Before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Qian Sangui and said, "Now that life at home is better, it is reasonable for my daughter-in-law to want to dress up Xiu'er beautifully." The silk that the Zhang family gave to Jinwa and Xiu'er will be handed over to the daughter-in-law for safekeeping. It's up to her to make clothes for her children as she wants. ”

Wu was even more reluctant, "There are a few good silk horses that I want to keep for Aunt Xia as a dowry." ”

Qian Sangui said again, "Our family still has so much silver in stock, just take it out and give Aunt Xia a good dowry, where do you need to deduct the materials that people send to the babies." ”

Wu couldn't, so he had to take five silk horses out of the bedroom, and he also gave Cheng Yue a few rare eye knives.

Cheng Yue saw that her mother-in-law was unhappy, so she still took the silk into her cabin. After putting away the silk, he went to the hall to review with Wu in tears, "Mother, I'm sorry, Yue'er made you angry." But what to do, Yue'er wants to raise Xiu'er more delicately, so that Brother Jiang is happy, and she doesn't want to make her mother angry. ”

Wu saw that Cheng Yue's tears were very pitiful, and he was afraid that she would be angry again, so he had to say, "Mother is not angry, Xiu'er is my mother's own granddaughter, and my mother also loves her." ”

Cheng Yue held back her tears when she heard this, and went out to find Qian Manxia and Qian Xiaoyu to cut clothes and make shoes for her daughter together.

The three sets of clothes are all summer shirts, a set of bean green clothes and pants, a set of apricot clothes and light lotus long skirts, and a set of pink collared skirts, all of which were cut by Qian Xiaoyu according to the popular style in Beijing. The little lady also embroidered some small flowers and leaves on the neckline, cuffs, and skirt.

The three pairs of embroidered shoes are apricot, pink, and pea green, and they are embroidered with folded plum blossoms, lotus flowers, and roses.

And he made a few small silk flowers that matched his clothes.

The clothes are made to fit better, not as fat and big as before.

Looking at the beautiful daughter who was dressed beautifully, the little lady smiled brightly, and said with great satisfaction, "Well, my mother's embroidery is beautiful." Remember, every day from now on will be beautiful and clean. I don't know what I thought of again, my eyes darkened, and I said, "If Brother Jiang sees that his daughter is treated so well, he will also praise Yue'er's ......."

Qian Yixiu smiled happily, and thanked the little lady vigorously. But in my heart, I don't think so, when I am a little mother, I don't leave the house every day. Dressed like this, not to mention that it is inconvenient to follow Brother Monkey to hunt for treasures, even if you walk around the village, those who are not right-minded may have the idea of stealing themselves out and selling them for money.

In the future, I will still wear the old clothes when I go to the village, and I will wear these new clothes when I am dangling in front of my mother's eyes or when I enter the city.

At night, the little lady had already fallen asleep, but Qian Yixiu couldn't sleep, she was thinking about how to buy some land to dig ponds and plant golden lotus roots.

Listening to the description of the golden moth wings by the shopkeeper Cui, whether it is the tea made or the soup color brewed, it is all golden. And most of the pearls produced in the cave pool are also glowing with golden light. It's just that the older the beads, the stronger the golden light, and the shorter the beads, the golden light is extremely faint, and you have to look carefully to see it. Those small beads smaller than the size of a pea may not have grown yet, and they will not be able to see the golden light.

The lotus root that grows there is also the same, it is golden, so she took the name of golden lotus. Peaches are also not peach-colored, but orange with a golden tinge. In the future, if you can grow peaches, they will be called honey golden peaches.

It seems that gold should be the characteristic of Dongtian Pond.

Thinking about this special lotus root, I mainly relied on the previous few years to make more money, and after a long time, others got the lotus root seeds and cultivated them, and the price definitely did not start to be high. Then you have to have a variety of lotuses, and you have to buy more land to plant lotus roots, so that the lotus roots can grow better. The land in the west is cheap, and the soil quality in the ground is also good, so I dug a pond to plant lotus roots, and the excavated soil was piled up into an artificial hill, and peaches were planted in the future.

Now the family still has about 1,000 taels of savings, plus 700 taels of tea sales, a total of more than 1,700 taels. Even if you buy another 100 acres of wasteland, you only need to get 15 taels. If you ask someone to dig a pond and buy someone to grow lotus root, it doesn't cost much, a few hundred taels of silver is enough.

It's best to ask the shopkeeper Cui to help buy the land directly from the county government, and then manage it by the person who bought it, so that the family can be more low-key.

These are not problems, the question is how to say that the three noble grandfathers agree to their plans. She kept thinking about the second half of the night, when it was raining outside, before she fell asleep.

The next morning, the rain had stopped, the ground was wet, the raindrops on the leaves were still ticking down, and the moist air was mixed with the fragrance of flowers, which made people feel refreshed.

Qian Yijin was practicing martial arts under the eaves, and the little lady was looking at the door, and it was rare for the Dashan family and Brother Monkey to be at home, squatting under the eaves and looking at the sky.

Qian Yixiu first whispered hello to Brother Monkey and Dashan, asking them not to go out today, and let them do something if they have something. Then I jumped a few times under the eaves and did stretching exercises, and my chaotic brain became clearer.

Qian Manxia, who came out of the kitchen to serve food, glanced at her and said, "I really can't understand the embroidery, the little baby's family, I can't sleep when I think about my heart." When I wake up in the morning, my eyes are red, and I don't know what you're worried about all day. ”

Qian Yixiu said stiffly, "I'm worried about why Uncle Wan hasn't invited a matchmaker to come to the house to talk about matchmaking." ”

Qian Manxia's face flushed, and she wanted to pat someone with a tray in her hand, so she glared at her angrily and entered the hall.

Qian Yijin said with a smile, "My sister bullied my little aunt again, be careful that Uncle Wan knows about it and comes to beat you." ”

Qian Yixiu said glutinously, "If Uncle Wan dares to come and beat me, I will let my little aunt scratch his face." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone inside and outside the house laughed, and Qian Sangui's haha was still loud.

Qian Manxia, who put the meal on the table, said angrily, "Dad doesn't care about the annoying embroidery, he's still smiling." ”

Qian Sangui said, "Dad is happy, Dazhong is a good offspring, he has the ability, responsibility, and belly, and it is difficult to find it with a lantern." ”

Qian Manxia was so angry that she stomped her feet, "My daughter is talking about embroidery, what is my father doing pulling others out?" ”

Qian Sangui saw that his daughter was really annoyed, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Well, yes, it's not good embroidery, it's not big, it's not small, it's not like words." ”

After dinner, Xiao Zhengtai went to school, Wu took Qian Xiaofeng to give gifts to those families, the little aunt and Xiaoyu went to the Qian family compound to do needlework, and the little lady went to the East Chamber to embroider.

Only Qian Yixiu and Qian Sangui were left in the hall.

Qian Sangui asked clearly, "Your eyes are red, what are the difficult things to discuss with your master?" ”

Qian Yixiu walked over and sat on the Luohan bed, leaned on Qian Sangui and whispered, "Well, Xiu'er has something to tell grandpa." Actually, I wanted to tell my grandfather for a long time, but there was always something at home, so I didn't have time to talk about it. ”

"Okay, listen." Qian Sangui smiled and touched his granddaughter's little head.

Qian Yixiu hugged his arm with both hands and said, "The last time I went to the mountains with Brother Monkey and the white wolf, I not only picked up tea boys and lotus seeds, but also picked up a few beautiful beads. It was Brother Monkey who picked up a few mussels in the pond where he collected lotus seeds, and he ate the meat in the mussels and lost the shells. I saw a shiny bead in the shell, and I picked it up. But I didn't dare to take it back, for fear of being robbed, so I hid in the rubble next to the big grave. ”

She didn't dare to say that she was hiding on Xishi Mountain.

Qian Sangui said with a smile, "The beads in the mussels must be pearls, but the quality of pearls is very different. In good condition, one can sell for hundreds of taels or even thousands of silver. If the quality is different, one or two silver can buy a handful. Generally speaking, the best beads produced by river mussels are Dongzhu, and there are occasionally a few wild mussels in the mud pond, and the beads produced will not be much better, and they cannot be sold at a high price. ”

Qian Yixiu wondered, "But why do I think those beads are round and big, and extremely beautiful?" ”

Qian Sangui still didn't believe it, and said, "How can the mussels in the pond produce beads be so good, Xiu'er must have never seen good pearls to say so." ”

Qian Yixiu opened her big round eyes and said, "It's really good-looking, bigger than a big pea." I was afraid that I would be robbed, so I hid in a pile of rubble as I passed. He continued to say, "Master, I want to take the beads back and sell them for money, and buy a few more people, so that I am not afraid of being remembered by others." Besides, after cooperating with Shopkeeper Cui, we should also arrange for some people to go to the tea garden......"

Qian Sangui didn't believe that the pearl was worth much. But if the beads are really good, as the granddaughter said, even if they can be sold for a few taels of silver. He said, "The big tomb is gloomy, and the pile of rocks next to it is also dangerous, and it is easy to get lost if you go in, so let Huang Tie and Xiaofeng, as well as the monkey and the Dashan family, accompany you." Remember, the furthest you can only go to the rubble, not any further. ”

Qian Yixiu shook his head and smiled, "It's useless for so many people to go." Our monkey brother is a baby, just let it take the mountain with you. I can't remember that place, but Brother Monkey definitely remembers. ”

Of course this is better, Qian Sangui nodded in agreement.

Qian Yixiu went out and whispered to Brother Monkey, asking him to take the mountain to retrieve the purse hidden in the Xishi Mountain, and solemnly promised that if the bead was sold for money, it and the silver collar that was running and jumping would be available.

As soon as he heard the silver collar, Brother Monkey's eyes lit up, and he was still thinking about it in his heart. He nodded vigorously and gestured a few more times.

Qian Yixiu immediately guaranteed the certificate, "If I break my promise this time, I will become a monkey, and you can handle it." ”

Qian Yixiu was afraid that Brother Monkey would drop the beads in the purse, so he specially dressed it in a small dress with an inner bag, and asked it to put the purse in the inner bag and carry it well.

When she asked her little aunt to add an inner bag to Brother Monkey's little clothes, she almost didn't laugh Qian Manxia to death, saying that there was no way to find a strange baby like her in the world.

Brother Monkey went out from the back door of the big courtyard with Dashan and Benben, and Qian Yixiu took Hopping and sat under the bamboos by the back door to watch the scenery. (To be continued.) )
