Shen Zhao and Shen Mei came together in the carriage driven by Shen Er, and the seedlings that wanted to come to the Shen family had already been planted, so they took the carriage early in the morning, and when they arrived at Shen Lan's house, it was not yet noon, Shen Lan and Xu heard the movement and immediately walked to the door to greet them, and before they reached the door, Shen Zhao and a few of them had already entered the courtyard.

"Mother, why is it so early?" Shen Lan greeted him with a smile and asked.

"The seedlings at home were also planted yesterday, and your father urged me to come over early in the morning, saying that you left all the people behind, and the family was not enough. Shen Zhao followed Shen Lan in the direction of the main house, as for the luggage she brought, it had already been picked up by the Xu family and the Feng family, and they were ready to arrange the accommodation of the Shen Zhao family and Shen Hailing.

"Eldest sister, your yard is so beautiful." Shen Hailing is still the first time to come, he has already gone to the county to study when he moved in before, and when he is busy with farming, he is the person who Shen Er directly picked up, so it is normal that he has not been here in Shen Lan.

Later, Shen Mei and Shen Wei also shouted, "Eldest sister, we're back." ”

Shen Lan looked back at them, nodded, and then said to Shen Hailing jokingly: "Be beautiful, you study hard, and if you become a big official in the future, the house you live in is much more beautiful than your sister's house." ”

Shen Hailing was a little embarrassed when Shen Lan said this, and immediately said, "Eldest sister, don't talk about that shadowless thing." ”

Shen Zhao, who was walking beside Shen Lan, felt uncomfortable when he heard Shen Hailing's words, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Shen Hailing, if you don't have that ambition, don't waste your eldest sister's money." Come back and farm with your father, anyway, there is a lot of land in the family now. ”

Hearing this, Shen Hailing didn't dare to say anything, only dared to lower his head and follow behind unhappily, Shen Lan couldn't help but look at Shen Mei on the side, and cast an inquiring look in her incomprehension, Shen Mei shook her head lightly, saying don't ask more.

Seeing this, Shen Lan didn't say anything, turned her head and said with a smile: "Mother, this hot day is also easy to get angry." I've been working on something new lately. I made some ice bowls and let them be served to you and your siblings later. ”

"Where's the ice coming from this summer?" Shen Zhao was mentioned by Shen Lan like this, and he suddenly became curious.

"Mother. You'll have to eat later. See if it's ice. My mother-in-law went to my shop last time to make trouble, and then the business has not been good, and this time it is all up to these ice bowls to pull the business up. A lot of people from the county have come to eat with me in horse-drawn carriages. Shen Lan led Shen Zhao into the house, turned to Shen Mei and said, "You take the little brother and little sister to wash their faces first, and then come to me to eat ice later." ”

Shen Mei was also very curious, but she still nodded and responded, and then went down with the two small ones, Shen Lan took Shen Zhao into the house, the mother and daughter sat down separately, and as soon as Shen Zhao sat down, she couldn't help asking: "Your mother-in-law is a-stirring stick, as long as she participates in the bad thing, how is the business in the shop now?" ”

Although in front of her mother, Shen Lan couldn't say that Song Wang's was not, so she just smiled and replied: "It's okay, it's better than ever." ”

Seeing Shen Lan answer like this, Shen Zhao was also relieved, so he asked, "What's the matter?" You're going on a long trip, where are you going? ”

"My mother also knows that I am doing business with Yuan Hao, and I am in some trouble, so I have to go to Jinzhou Mansion." Shen Lan replied, this is not a lie, after all, there is a problem in her salt farm, and she really wants to solve the problem.

"Does it matter?" Shen Zhao asked nervously, after all, it was related to her daughter's business, she was naturally a little worried, but after asking this, she felt a little unright, didn't this increase her daughter's burden, so she changed her words and persuaded instead: "If the business is really so difficult to do, don't you do it, isn't there still a shop?" Even if you don't have a shop, isn't there me and your father, the family is better off now, and you helped buy so many fields, and you won't starve you after all. ”

Most of the old people are like this, they are always not at ease with the adventures of young people, especially Shen Lan has a woman, and her husband is not around, it is normal for Shen Zhao to worry about her, she used to think that she could help, but now she can't intervene at all, Shen Zhao is not a taste in her heart, even if she thinks that her daughter is good, she will worry about whether her daughter will encounter difficulties.

"It's okay, I can solve it, just go to Jinzhou Mansion, and when I come back, will I have anything to bring back?" It's rare to go to Golden State, do you and my dad have anything you want? Silk, jewelry, or porcelain? I bought it and brought it back to you. Shen Lan smiled and said, Jixian County naturally has these things, but after all, it is a small place, where there are so many good things, so Shen Lan really plans to buy some better fabrics or something, and then see if there are any new things to bring back.

"It's not easy for you to make that little money, you have to go to Jinzhou Mansion with a big belly, I have food and drink with your father, and I have clothes to wear, and now I still have more than 100 acres of land and property, where is there anything missing?" Shen Zhao hurriedly refused, "It's whether you have enough money around you, I still have twenty or thirty taels here, you can take it." Saying that, Shen Zhao took out a cloth bag wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, and continued: "This is all the silver that my father and I have on hand, and I have brought it to you, the poor family is rich, we have a lot of food and drink at home, and we don't need any silver, you have to do big things when you go out, and these silver are put around for self-defense." ”

Shen Lan was confused by Shen Zhao's actions, where would she be missing dozens of taels of silver, and besides, Yuan Hao had just given her fifty taels, she really didn't have much silver around her, but she had a lot of pearls, and she could go to Jia Xiangtian to support the silver when she went to Jinzhou this time, or she wouldn't have asked her mother if she wanted to bring any gifts back.

"Mother, what are you doing here? Where will I lack all this money, you hurry up and take it yourself, you help me take care of the house, bring the stones, I am very relieved, I have the money. Shen Lan refused, her heart was also warm, although Shen Zhao's money was not much, but Shen Lan also knew that the family did not have much money, she took out the money before to buy land and build a house, although the new grain has come out, but the price of food is not high at this time. It is impossible for them to sell it, and they don't have time to sell it, so if they can come up with such twenty or thirty taels of silver, it may really be the family's money.

"Lan Niang, listen to me, you must spend money when you go out, don't you refuse to take it because you see that the money is small? This money was originally given to me and your father, but now when you go out, bring a little more, don't be stubborn with your mother. "Since Shen Zhao took it out, he definitely won't take it back. In addition, this is also a heart of her and her old man. Always stretches out her hand to her daughter, and now that her daughter is out, how can she not take some money out to pay for her daughter's journey.

Shen Lan was very helpless, and in the end she couldn't resist the stubbornness of her mother. I had to take the money. At this time, Xu was also busy. After bringing tea and serving tea, Shen Lan took the opportunity to instruct: "Go and ask Sister-in-law Wu if she has ice, and if so, make some ice bowls." If not, let Shen Da go to the shop to get some back. ”

"Yes." Xu Shi took the tray and retreated, and after a while, Shen Mei also brought Shen Hailing and Shen Wei over, it seemed that she had washed her face, and she looked a lot refreshed.

"Eldest sister, what about the ice bowl you are talking about?" As soon as she entered the room, Shen Wei couldn't help but ask, because she was the youngest and her family spoiled her a lot, so she didn't attract Shen Zhao's scolding when she asked like this.

"Little glutton, we'll have to wait a while." Shen Lan smiled and spoke.

"Sister, where's the stone?" Shen Mei asked.

"Xiangling is holding it, playing with wooden people on the couch in my room." Shen Lan pointed to her bedroom, and Shen Mei walked in the direction of Shen Lan's bedroom when she heard this. "I'm going to pick him up and eat the ice bowl later."

"He's still young, his stomach can't stand it, and these things that are too cold can't be eaten for him." Shen Lan said busily, so the stone hadn't eaten ice yet.

Shen Mei heard this, and Shen Zhao said: "Mei Niang, you go and take the stone out, Mother hug it for a while, he can't eat this ice bowl, and when it comes, I'll carry him in." ”

The old people like children, and Shen Zhao, as a grandmother, naturally loves her grandson, not to mention that Shi is still the child of her first grandchild, and he is a boy, so Shen Zhao naturally loves it.

After receiving her mother's instructions, Shen Mei naturally walked towards the house, and Shen Lan couldn't help complaining: "Mother, you look like this, what can you do if you are hungry later?" ”

"Don't worry, it's okay, just hold it in later, you won't let me play with my grandson." Shen Zhao glared at his daughter angrily, and Shen Lan didn't dare to say anything more, and after a while, the stone was carried out, followed by Xiangling.

Shen Zhao took the stone from Shen Mei's hand and held it in his arms, kissed it and asked, "Do you want grandma, my good grandson?" ”

"Grandma, I think." Shi Shi was also obedient, and was hugged into his arms by his grandmother, and immediately replied loudly, Shen Zhao suddenly smiled when he heard it, and shouted that Shi had a conscience and had not forgotten his grandmother or something.

Shen Lan saw that her younger brother hadn't spoken since he entered the house, thinking that he had offended his father and mother at home, so he was so obedient at this time, so he smiled and said: "Hailing, there are a lot of books in my study, if you are bored, you can go and read them." ”

Shen Hailing, who was originally a little angry, heard that the eldest sister was talking to him, and immediately came to his senses, and responded: "Okay, I'll take a look at the ice bowl later." ”

In the house, the Shen Mei sisters surrounded Shen Zhao's teasing stones, and Shen Hailing wanted to be a nephew of his own family, but he didn't dare to get to his mother's side, so he had to sit aside and watch from afar, showing an envious smile from time to time.

After a while, Xu Shi walked over with an ice bowl, because the door was open, Shen Lan knew the situation in the courtyard at a glance, so he said to Xiangling on the side: "Quickly take the eldest prince in." ”

Hearing this, Xiangling walked to Shen Zhao's side and whispered, "Old lady, I'll take the eldest prince down first." ”

Shen Zhao didn't embarrass Xiangling when she heard this, in fact, she also saw the Xu family coming over, so she said: "Okay, I'll take it out and give me a close relationship later." ”

Xiangling agreed to take the stone, and hurriedly hid in the house, but the stone was playing hard, and she was a little unhappy to be taken away inexplicably, and suddenly played a little tantrum and shouted: "Grandma, grandma, I don't want to go in, I want grandma." ”

As soon as the child made a fuss, Shen Zhao was a little unbearable, and Shen Lan on the side hurriedly got up and followed; "Be good, my mother will accompany you, and my grandmother will play with you later, the stone is the most well-behaved."

Saying that, Shen Lan followed Xiangling into the house, and after a lot of comfort, the stone calmed down, and outside Xu brought up the ice bowl with a hint of coolness, and the bowl was made of ice cream made of milk and eggs, which Shen Lan made in the past two days, mainly because she thought of the ice cream she had eaten in her previous life, and she tried to do it when she was a little moved.

Cook the milk and eggs at a low temperature, then put them in a box, and then slowly freeze them into ice with saltpeter water, but they have to be stirred constantly in the process of freezing, and the ice cream that comes out of this way has no feeling of ice residue, and it is smooth and soft and tastes very good, but it is more suitable for making ice cream than the refrigerator, after all, Shen Lan has tried to make it with a refrigerator before, and it is usually made of a piece of milk ice that is hard and hard, and the taste is not as good as frozen juice.

Shen Zhao's is the first time they have eaten this, the cold and tender taste is really good, such a delicious thing is eaten in the summer, it is really good, no wonder the daughter said that since there is this ice, the business in the shop has also improved, but I can't help but think that the ice bowl is afraid that the price is not cheap, so it hurts a little bit.

"Eldest sister, is there anything else? I'll eat another bowl. Shen Hailing couldn't help but gobble it up after taking the first bite, it was really not easy to eat such delicious things in the summer, and after a while, a bowl of ice was in his stomach, and he shouted at Shen Lan's house at this time.

Shen Lan saw that her son had been appeased, so she smiled and said to her son: "Stone, you sit here obediently and play, my mother will bring you delicious fruits later, and my mother will go out first." ”

When Shi heard this, he looked at his mother, so he made a condition: "I want to eat grapes." ”

Shen Lan nodded and gave Xiangling a look, and Xiangling immediately smiled and said to the stone: "Come, eldest prince, let's play with this wooden man together." ”

Soon the stone was diverted, Shen Lan walked outside the house, and when she got out of the house, she saw that Shen Zhao and the others had finished eating the ice cream, and they all looked unsatisfied, so she smiled and said: "Although this ice bowl is cool, it is not often eaten in the past, and eating too much for a while is not good for the stomach, if you like it, I will let people prepare it tomorrow, and there are other flavors of smoothies, but you can't eat them today." ”

"Listen to your eldest sister, this summer's ice is not cheap, but you can't eat it without scruples, these are your eldest sister's business, just try it, how can you eat it every day?" Shen Zhao is an adult after all, and he is heartbroken for money, so he naturally refuses to let his daughter make it and eat it, "How much is your ice bowl?" ”

One didn't hold back, Shen Zhao couldn't help but ask, she looked at the milk inside, but she didn't know what kind of milk it was. (To be continued......)
