Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Sugar Tree
"Worship parents." Someone moved the mat to the feet of Lord Wei, Peach Blossom knelt down, bowed to Lord Wei, someone handed tea to someone on the side, Peach Blossom held her hands above her head, and offered tea to Lord Wei, "Father, please drink tea, daughter listen carefully." Lord Wei took the tea, took a sip, and put it on the table, "Okay, good, I hope my daughter will be upright and wise in the future, and she will not dishonor my Wei family." "My daughter obeys the teachings." Lord Wei got up and helped Peach Blossom up, and gave Peach Blossom a pair of four treasures of the study. "Thank you, father."
Peach Blossom knelt down to Pei's tea again, "Mother, please drink tea, and my daughter is willing to listen to her mother's teachings." Pei Shi quickly took the tea, took a sip, handed the teacup to Xiaoping, and stepped forward to pick up the peach blossoms, "Good boy, just accompany my old wife more in the future." "The mother is so young, and the daughter is willing to accompany the mother for a hundred years." "You make me happy." Pei Shi withdrew an emerald jade bracelet from his hand and brought it to Peach Blossom's hand, and then pulled out a red gold and ruby step from his head and inserted it on Peach Blossom's head, "Thank you, Mother." ”
Extraordinary stepped forward and said, "Hurry up, brother, come and listen," "Big brother." Peach Blossom bowed lightly and made a blessing, "I don't know what the girl likes, this is a pair of earrings I bought, a pair of bracelets for my sister." "Ruby earrings, sterling silver carved bracelets, "Thank you, big brother, this is some arithmetic problems I wrote for my eldest brother," Peach Blossom gave to the extraordinary is the arithmetic book written by Peach Blossom every night while everyone is practicing calligraphy, which contains addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, calculation methods of various plane figures, simple cube calculation methods, chickens and rabbits in the same cage, negative numbers, fractions, fast operation of fingers and other aspects of the problem, originally intended to be given to the root to go to school later, now urgently use it first to do personal favors, and then write a copy later.
"Eldest sister, I am the second brother, my name is Feiyu, this is the hairpin I gave to my sister, please accept it." Fei Yu is the second in line, the most stable of the brothers, his hands are clenched in fists in front of his chest and swing up and down to make a peer salute to the peach blossoms, the peach blossoms do not need to salute the juniors, Fei Yu gave the peach blossoms a wooden hairpin, delicate but beautifully carved, "Thank you Fei Yu, this is a pair of flying chess made by the eldest sister, and there is a simple way to play." Where you won't, you can ask me. "This is made by Peach Blossom at noon, fortunately it is simpler, otherwise I wouldn't be in a hurry." Thank you, big sister. "It's not a decent take.
"Eldest sister, I'm Fei Yan, this is my gift." Fei Yan is the third child, and what he gave to Peach Blossom was a small desktop dressing mirror, "Thank you Fei Yan, this is the comic book that the eldest sister gave you," This is the work that Peach Blossom rushed out overnight yesterday, in the way of stick figures, the painting is Nezha and the sea, and there are simple small annotations, a total of sixteen paintings. It's really simple and straightforward, but this way of painting is definitely advanced. "Thank you, big sister," he picked it up and looked excited.
"And mine."" You pull aside, I haven't given it to the eldest sister yet, how can it be your turn. "Lord Wei's family is yin and yang, every woman is full of aura, the only girl in the family is scolding the youngest brother, it is estimated that several brothers are used to her, so that the girl is domineering and exposed." Eldest sister, I'm Fu'er, you take up the boss, and I'll be the second in the future, but I like the dim sum my sister makes, and these are fun, this is my embroidered purse for my sister. "The purse is embroidered with silk thread plum blossoms, although the embroidery is average, but it is many times better than the peach blossoms," thank you Fu'er, my sister quietly told you that my sister can't embroider at all, so I have not dared to bring a purse, and in the future, with you, my sister will take it every day, and no one dares to laugh at me. "Really, I'm so good at embroidery." "Of course, I'll take it with me now." Peach Blossom put her purse on her waist, "You close your eyes, my sister is going to get you a gift, don't peek." Fu'er obediently closed her eyes, and Peach Blossom took a big gift that the family had prepared for the night last night. The gift caused an exclamation, causing Fu'er to open her eyes, "Wow, great, eldest sister loves you to death." "This is a big doll a little taller than a peach blossom, with skirts, high heels, curly hair, hats, and handbags. The two embroiderers of Chunhelou embroidered their faces personally, which were very beautiful. "This belongs to you, the eldest sister only does one, and there is absolutely no one like yours." Fu'er hugged this cute doll horizontally, and kissed the doll violently. "Thank you, big sister, thank you, big sister."
The little brother on the side pouted, his eyes glistening with tears, "Big sister." "Come and see your gift, sister." The little brother took out his gift is a beautiful shell, it seems that Lord Wei did not give the child much money, what gift to give is also the child's own decision, Peach Blossom took the shell, took a special kite to him, is a series of small triangles, the triangles are painted with color, there is also a tail made of colored cloth strips at the bottom, each triangle is threaded with a thread, leaving an equal distance, the kite is more than two meters long. "Thank you, big sister, I like it very much." "Then tell the eldest sister your name." "My name is non-true."
"And me. Little cousin. Fei Qian saw that Peach Blossom wanted to turn around and leave, so she quickly jumped out, "Hello cousin." "Good, good. This is my gift, I just want one thing. "What was stuffed into Peach Blossom's hand was a red gold hairpin." You must promise me that I will ask you to make a silk embroidered cloth kite for Yonghe Shizi alone. I'm going back in two days, and I'm going to the kite convention, and I'm going to be like the princesses, and I'm going to blind them. Good or not, good or not. "Okay, if you shake it again, I'll fall apart, but this is a phoenix in the morning, and I'm making you a butterfly." "Okay, of course I won't rob it with the princess, or you think thoughtfully, you must give it to me." "Give, give." Peach Blossom really can't do anything about her, it's stupid not to give it, a kite for a golden hairpin, how to calculate it is also earned by yourself, if you go to the capital like this, it is not a big profit.
The kite made of silk cloth is very beautiful, the embroiderer embroiders the eyes, and let a few embroiderers at home embroider the simple patterns on the body, although it is done in a hurry, but it is much more beautiful than rice paper, but it is a little heavier to put up, like a princess, the prince who does not have a few maids and guards, and the weight does not need to be considered to be able to put it up. The size of the satin kite design is not large, the wings are very curved, easy to drive, and it has been experimented in the morning, which is very beautiful and good.
"The slave (slave) gives the eldest lady a salute." The guards and maids brought by Lord Wei and Pei Shi stood in a row, bowed their heads and knelt down for Peach Blossom, "Hurry up." Peach Blossom stretched out his hand in the air to help everyone, everyone stood up one after another, Peach Blossom approached each person with a tael of silver to reward, and everyone who got the silver thanked Peach Blossom "Slave Xiaoping Xie Miss reward." "Slave Xiaoqing, Miss Xie's reward." After sending it next to each other, they all knew each other, including Wei Cheng, Wei Hui, the housekeeper Wei Chang, Master Chu Hanbai, Pei's maid Xiaocui, Xiaoping, Fei Qian's maid Xiaohong, the extraordinary maid Xiaoqing, and the extraordinary nurse Mama Yu. I am very satisfied with the reward of the eldest lady, and Pei's reward is also so much every year. I thought that Peach Blossom was a country man, and it would be good to have two hundred dollars, but I didn't expect it to be beyond expectations.
Judging from the gifts, genealogy and salutes prepared by Lord Wei's family, Lord Wei's family had been prepared long before they came, and they were determined to recognize their relatives.
Pei and Li also call each other sisters, and in addition to Peach Blossom, several children call each other Aunt Li, Aunt Pei, and Uncle Wei. Lord Wei is not a few years younger than his grandfather, but he still calls his grandfather and grandmother Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu according to his generation. Grandfather had nothing to give to Lord Wei, so he gave each of the children of the Wei family a silver ingot of ten taels, and the Li family also shared a five taels each, and Lord Wei knew the situation of the Peach Blossom family and did not refuse.
Everyone talked and laughed, an afternoon passed, and Lord Wei's family didn't have dinner, so they rushed back early, and made an appointment with Peach Blossom to come and see Peach Blossom's sweet potatoes for a while. Fu'er was reluctant to leave, and Peach Blossom promised to make her a silk kite before giving up. When Lord Wei's family left, Peach Blossom also filled a large jar, with 30 catties of peanut oil, which the Peach Blossom family is reluctant to eat now, and the peach blossom will be used to make cakes.
Everyone praised Peach Blossom for being able to be next to the mayor, in fact, only Peach Blossom herself knew in her heart how big a tree she was, this is definitely a big tree, as the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree, the shade is large, and the scope of the natural cover is also large. Although the peach blossom will not be blessed by this, it can still be used to make a fortune.
Sure enough, Lord Wei sent a large cart of sprouted sweet potatoes two days later, but he didn't see any potatoes.
The kite is vigorously made, this time the speed has increased a lot, it took only three and a half days to complete, and there are people in the middle who privately do their own to sell in the bazaar, and find that buying rice paper, paint, painting, waste of money and time, it is better to give the peach blossom family a good deal, sell it for a day and don't do it, the peach blossom also knows who it is, not the second aunt's own brother, because the grandfather gave the money to the Wei family's child is from the public, the second aunt has already whispered, the last time it happened that the second aunt accompanied the second uncle in the town to recuperate, or it will be embarrassed on the spot. This time it has little impact on the Peach Blossom Family, so it's up to it.
After this shipment, Peach Blossom got his share of more than 200 taels of silver, bought a lot of things in the bazaar, and went to the house of Lord Wei, that is, his father-in-law, to visit, and chatted with Lord Wei Pei for a morning, and taught them to play mahjong in the afternoon. Peach Blossom refused her plea on the grounds that she hadn't started doing it yet, and the joke had not yet been sold to the capital, so it spread out, and Peach Blossom still made any money.
The charcoal has also been successfully fired in the past two days, and Peach Blossom is ready to recruit permanent workers to work, because the technology of charcoal burning cannot be known to others, and everyone unanimously proposes to sell people, and there is a deed of sale, they can only be obedient.
