On this day, Qian Yixiu, who had finished class, led Zizhu out of Linhe Garden and saw a busy scene in West Lake.

Since a few days ago, Su Sanwu began to take a few long-term workers out of the golden lotus root in the lake.

The carriages of the Song family and Wuxi Xing were waiting outside the garden, and after the lotus root came out, they could not go to the mud, and sent it directly to the wharf of Wenxian County and the provincial capital.

As soon as the golden lotus root came out, it was warmly welcomed and buyers flocked to it. It can be used as a fruit, and it tastes no worse than any other fruit. Cooked can be stir-fried, stewed soup, more delicious than many mountain delicacies. It is easy to store and transport. The most important thing is that scarcity is expensive.

The price that the Qian family sold to them was 12 wen a catty, and when they sold it, it became 18 to 25 wen a catty. Even if it is more expensive than the price of meat, it is in short supply.

Originally, Song Siye said that he took eight yuan a pound from the Qian family, but he was retrained by Liang Ze, who had not yet returned to the capital, saying that his doing so was tantamount to robbery. After the elder Song and the second elder Song Ding were worried, they also needed Liang Zezhong to help them find good and bad relationships, and after hearing about it, they scolded Song Siye. In the end, it was set at 12 wen a catty.

In order to put an end to the phenomenon of stealing flowers and lotus roots, the Qian family also invited ten people to take turns to keep vigil with the long-term workers.

Qian Yixiu returned to the Lotus Perfume Pavilion and saw that the color of the golden peach on the table had turned red and golden. Pick it up and pinch it gently, it's soft, it looks like it's ripe, and the peach can't be put anymore.

Last time she brought back eight half-ripe peaches, a few of them were a little redder, and two of them were a little red on the tips. The peaches, which are much redder, become soft and ripe in five to ten days, and although they are not as sweet as the ripe peaches that have just been picked in the cave pond, they are also delicious, much sweeter than peaches. And this one is the most raw, and it was put on for twenty-one days.

The color is not bad, except for the bottom of the peach, which is a little green, the more red and yellow it gets, and it becomes golden yellow at the tip. I just don't know what it tastes like.

She washed and peeled the peaches and tasted them slowly. Well, it's really good, the taste is a little lighter than the previous ones, it's still sweeter, and it's juicy. She didn't finish it all, and left a small half in a bowl for Monkey Girl to keep.

I don't know what the history of the previous life was, anyway, this dynasty can only grow nectarines that are not delicious in the north, and peaches grown in the south can't be grown at all. The sweet and juicy peaches of the south are only a beautiful legend to the northerners, unless they can come to the south in May or June.

The peach is not like a prickly branch, which has been bumped. "When you ride the red dust concubine and smile, no one knows that it is the green branches", riding a fast horse can send the Lingnan green branches to the capital as soon as possible.

But peaches can't do it, and they will break when they bump into it. Not to mention riding a fast horse, it is easy to break if you run fast with a basket of peaches. Pick the half-raw peaches first, and they won't taste good if you leave them for a long time.

Now, the golden peaches, which are more delicious than peaches, can finally go out of Ji'an, be transported to the capital through the Luchun River and the Jingxiang Canal, and can be transported to the south of the Yangtze River through the Luchun River and the Qianjiang River.

It's really posted.

The previous golden peaches Qian Sangui didn't dare to take them out to show off, so he only shared them with his family and Mr. Yu, and still invited Old Man Qian and Mrs. Qian to taste one, only saying that it was an offering given by Master Beikong.

Old man Qian and Mrs. Qian had already regarded the old monk as a fairy, and after eating the fruit he sent, they were windy when they walked in those days. Especially Mrs. Qian, it is said that on the day of eating the "offering fruit", she did not use crutches to walk.

This is spiritual power.

Thinking of the golden peach who could make a fortune, Qian Yixiu showed a little smile, and the previous depressed mood was better.

The night she returned, she found that when the snake vine and dragon leaves were together, she could only smell a little green fragrance of the leaves. But when the dragon leaves exist alone, they are fragrant and last for a long time. If you touch the leaves of the dragon tree in the morning, the fragrance will remain in your hands in the evening.

The flavor of snake vine and dragon incense tree inhibit each other, and this is the reason for mutual restraint.

A few days later, Qian Yixiu handed over the pearls in poor condition in the half-purse and the dozen or so leaves of the dragon incense tree to Master Jin. When Master Jin saw the leaf, he cried excitedly. He said that the dragon incense tree was rarer than ambergris, and even his master had never seen it, but he did. However, the best thing about the dragon tree is the skin on the trunk and branches, and although the leaves are good, they are still not as good as the bark.

He also said that the essence of this dragon incense tree is suitable for men, so he will make it into a man's fragrance. However, this little leaf can only be made into two small bottles.

Every word of Master Jin is like a steel needle, which makes Qian Yixiu feel pain. At that time, I just wanted to bring the snake vine back safely, but I didn't think that the thing that could suppress the fragrance of the snake vine could also be a treasure.

However, Qian Yixiu didn't dare to let Brother Monkey take any more risks, so he took out the dragon incense branch. Such fragrant branches, on the way back, I don't know what trouble it will cause.

really responded to that nonsense, what is yours is yours, and what is not yours is not yours.

The white beads and pink beads Qian Yixiu didn't dare to show Qian Sangui, this thing is too rebellious, I'll talk about it later. The pearl money that was a little worse in the small purse was also embroidered, and there were eight beads worth more than 1,000 taels each, and more than 60 pieces were worth 100 taels each.

These dozens of beads were shown to the third noble grandfather, and the third noble grandfather was very happy, and said in a low voice, "This small purse bead is worth more than 10,000 taels of silver, which is worth more than all the properties of our family." ”

Qian Yixiu smiled, "The beads are dead, and you can't regenerate money." But the industry is alive, and it will earn more and more, and it will definitely be more valuable than beads in accumulation. ”

Qian Sangui took four big beads and twenty small beads out, and gave the rest to Qian Yixiu, so that she could quietly take them to her mother-in-law's house in the future. The place where the beads and golden lotus roots, golden peaches, and spiritual objects were rotten in her heart, and no one could say.

The beads in his hand will be used later, or passed on to the next generation, and he will make excuses.

In addition, he also said that after his body bones were conditioned by the old immortals, he felt much better, and he might not die so soon. Then, Qian Yixiu's dowry and the family's family business are still operated together, so the profits will be greater. Wait until she gets married and then separate completely.

This is also what Qian Yixiu thinks, this family has given her countless love, and she will do her best to run the family better.

Qian Hua has already gone to the capital, and Jinxiufang will open a branch in the capital next year, mainly selling lotus cosmetics. Not only did the shopkeeper Cui write a letter to ask his friends in the capital for help, but even Liang Zezhong's long-term follower Liang Shi wrote a letter asking the Liang Mansion manager to help.

Qian Yixiu believes that with the help of the Liang Mansion, Jinxiu is not afraid of anyone in the capital.

Also, the peach tree branches have been grafted on the peach tree behind the water pavilion, although now is not a good time for grafting, but only this condition, you can live as much as you can.

The excuse he made to the outside world was that the peach branch was given by the old monk, and he didn't know where he got the money.

In addition to the purple beads and dragon incense trees, he has already made the best use of the things in the cave pool.

Qian Yixiu was thinking about her thoughts, when she saw the monkey girl jumping in. Its legs are healed, but it is still slightly lame when it walks.

The monkey girl wears a small white sundress embroidered with red grass mold. This is Qian Yi embroidery and purple beads, white beads practice craftsmanship made, purple beads cut, white beads embroidery, money also embroidered sewing.

The little skirt is very beautiful, but in this era, people can't wear it, only monkeys.

The monkey girl held a small wooden bowl with a small piece of golden lotus root in her hand. It came to Qian Yixiu's side, took out the lotus root and handed it to Qian Yixiu.

Qian Yixiu said with a smile, "The monkey sister eats it by herself, and the sister doesn't want it." ”

When the monkey girl heard this, she sat on a small stool and ate by herself.

The monkey girl is now the most likable little monkey in the garden, and no one can compare to it. It's also naughty, but it's even more likable, and it's completely different from the annoying Monkey Brother. Whether it is the master, or the subordinate, or the long-term worker, whoever sees it will bend down to tease it, and it will also interact with people in a good-natured manner. and will not see people on the dishes like Brother Monkey, and those who don't look at it will not only ignore but also beat people.

Qian Yixiu saw that the monkey girl had finished eating the golden lotus root, and handed it the small bowl with the golden peach. When it finished eating, it automatically got up and asked the girl to wash its hands and wipe its mouth.

This is even more of a monkey spirit.

Brother Monkey followed the mountain and Hopping into the mountain again, but because of the presence of the monkey girl, it won't go out for too long, and it will go home in three or five days.

At this time, someone came to report that the little master of Hongji of Daci Temple had asked Qian Yixiu to go to the front yard.

When Qian Yixiu heard this, she quickly got up and walked quickly to the front yard. The old monk and Zhang Zhongkun had been taking medicine behind closed doors for many days, and when I heard the little monk who came last time, none of them were seen, and even Liang Ze didn't let him see the spiritual thing when he wanted to see it.

She was anxious about the pills that the old monk said, and she didn't know if he had made them.

When the monkey girl saw Qian Yixiu leaving, she also ran out with a roar.

The little monk gave Qian Yixiu a small wooden box and said, "The master asked me to give it to you, saying that you must keep it well and don't eat it in advance." ”

Qian Yixiu smiled and took the wooden box, opened it and saw that it contained two pills wrapped in oiled paper, and the fragrance of flowers was fragrant.

Qian Yijin also came to the front yard and asked, "What kind of medicine is this?" It's so fragrant. ”

Qian Yixiu said, "This is the medicine that the master gave to his mother, but now is not the time to take it, when will I take it in the future, I will listen to the master or Master Zhang." ”

Then he asked the little monk tentatively, "Why didn't your Senior Brother Liang come to my house with you to play?" Have you already returned to the capital? ”

The little monk hesitated for a moment and said, "My Senior Brother Liang will not return to Beijing this year. My master said that if he trained him well for half a year, he would be able to leave the school next spring, and he would not have to come to Daci Temple every year in the future. ”

"So you and your master won't be going on a cloud tour this winter?" Qian Yijin asked.

The little monk smiled and nodded. When he saw Qian Yixiu, he was going back to the backyard to put the medicine, and he wanted to follow her to see Cheng Yue. said, "The poor monk hasn't seen his aunt for a few days, so he misses her so much." ”

Qian Yixiu shook her head and said, "Wait a minute, my mother is very busy during this time, and she can't even bother to say a word to me and my brother, and the rice is also taken upstairs by the girl to eat." Her embroidery is basically finished, and she is embroidering words on it. It seems that different embroidery threads and stitches are used to cause differences in color and brightness, and I don't know much about it. In the past few days, she has been eating the calming soup prescribed by Master Zhang, otherwise I am afraid that it will be bad again. ”

The little monk sighed regretfully.

At noon, a feast of golden lotus root was made for the little monk. At this time, the golden lotus root stew soup is not too glutinous, mainly fried and cold dressing, and a little monk's favorite honey glutinous rice lotus is made.

After the meal, the little monk gave Qian Manxia a string of Nanmu prayer beads, and said, "The poor monk can't come to congratulate the donor on the day of great joy, so he gave the gift first, which is the poor monk begging the senior brother to recite the scriptures." ”

Qian Manxia took it with a red face and said "thank you".

There are still ten days left to be a good day for Qian Manxia.

The little monk didn't live in Qian's house, so he left in the morning. When he left, he took away another 200 catties of golden lotus root. The face of the king steward was almost green, but he still didn't dare to say anything.

Steward Wang is the supervisor sent here by Song Siye, and he has limited the amount of golden lotus root even for the Qian family to eat or give away. Song Zhixian's domineering made the Qian family speechless, but they didn't dare to say more.

Later, I learned that there are disadvantages and advantages to having this master here to supervise. Those who came to ask for lotus root and those who bought lotus root were all blocked, whether it was a poor master in the county town or a poor relative, they couldn't afford to provoke the Song family.

Seeing those thick-skinned poor masters and relatives being rejected by the Wang Steward, Qian Yixiu was really secretly refreshed.

Before dinner, Old Man Qian and Mrs. Qian came, and they secretly came to give Qian Manxia a dowry. The reason why I said secretly was because the two taels of silver on the bright side would be sent in front of everyone in a few days, but this time I gave ten taels of silver to Qian Manxia with the big house and the second room.

This gift is a bit too much for the old couple, and Qian Sangui hurriedly stopped, "Dad, mother, Aunt Xia is not short of money, so you don't need to give her so much silver." ”

Old man Qian said, "I am willing to give my money." He said to Qian Manxia again, "Aunt Xia, don't complain about what your grandfather and grandmother did at the beginning." Family business and granddaughter, we pay more attention to family business, which is also the long-term affection of people. We are not stupid, we know that you have filial piety, and we also know that you have paid a lot for this family since you were a child...... Good people have good rewards, you find a good future like Dazhong, and you will not be able to enjoy endless blessings in the future. These granddaughters of mine, you will have the best life in the future......"

What the old man said was very sensational, and Qian Sangui and Wu's eyes were red.

Qian Manxia said with tears in her eyes, "I know, I won't blame my grandfather and grandmother ......"

Old man Qian said to Qian Yijin again, "Study hard, and only when you have a good future can you support your aunt who gets married." ”

Qian Yijin hurriedly expressed his determination again.

The people in the third room haven't had such a warm scene with the old couple for a long time, but they were destroyed by the monkey girl who pushed the door in.

Monkey Girl is liked by almost everyone, except for Mrs. Qian.

The old lady couldn't get used to seeing the third son's family spoil a monkey so much.

Qian Yixiu can also understand this matter, she can't get used to the three noble grandfathers spoiling her granddaughter, let alone spoiling a monkey.

She watched as the monkey girl was wearing a silver collar and an embroidered silk skirt, and her face was twisted together.

I couldn't care about the old man's instructions at home, and scolded Wu, "You loser mother-in-law, you don't know how to hang the silk clothes on the body of a person, but hang it on the body of a monkey." Your family has a lot of money, and that is also your man's hard work, how can you burn it like this. ”

Qian Yixiu said unhappily, "Grandma, if the monkey girl's clothes are hung on people, it will be immoral." (To be continued.) )
