Chapter 57: Zhuangzi's Journey (1)
After the family had eaten the cake lively, the two brothers Wenbo and Wenhao took out their birthday gifts for Li Xin. Wenbo sent a silver hairpin, carved with a plum blossom pattern, although it is a little ordinary, but Li Xin still likes it very much. After all, it was a gift from his brother! Speaking of which, when she came here, she really didn't have a piece of jewelry. Before, she didn't, but slowly she had money, and she didn't think about buying a few pieces of jewelry. Maybe it's because she's not a person who likes to dress up!
Wen Hao sent a box of rouge, with a faint lotus color, and some lotus fragrance, which smelled very good. Even Yuexiang prepared a handkerchief, saying that she embroidered it herself.
"The embroidery is not good, don't dislike it, eldest sister."
"How can it be bad, our moon fragrance embroidery is the best." Li Xin looked at the handkerchief in his hand carefully, it was embroidered with a plum blossom, although the skills were not very skilled, but the stitches were fine and neat, and it was very good. I didn't expect Yuexiang to embroider things at such a young age. She is really much worse than Yuexiang. Not to mention embroidery, she can sew clothes at most, and the stitches are not very neat. When it comes to embroidering things, it's just that I embroidered cross-stitch in my previous life. When Yuexiang grows up, she must be a very virtuous person!
"Big sister, I don't have anything." Yueting watched as the elder brothers and sisters had prepared gifts for the eldest sister, and looked at Li Xin with some embarrassment.
"Yueting is still young! More on that later. In fact, a few younger siblings are already the best gifts from God. Unexpectedly, life could be restarted, and she had a warm home again.
The family played for a while, and Li Xin sent everyone to rest. Children need enough sleep, Wen Bo and Wen Hao will go to the academy early tomorrow morning, if they sleep too late, they will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow. After freshening up, they went back to their respective rooms and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Li Xin got up to prepare breakfast. Pinxiangge doesn't do breakfast business, so on weekdays, Wenbo and Wenhao just buy something to eat on the street. Since she is in the town today, she naturally has to cook a good meal. Or should you find someone to take care of Wenbo and Wenhao. Now that she has bought all the people in Zhuangzi, she may be able to pick someone from there who is good at housework to take care of Wenbo and Wenhao. Eating out all the time isn't a long-term solution, and she can feel more at ease if someone takes care of them.
After getting up and having breakfast, Wenbo and Wen Hao went out to the academy. Li Xin took Yuexiang to clean up, and Zhu Yong was assigned by Li Xin to pick lotus flowers. The lotus flowers in the pond grow well, and the lotus roots are also big and big, which makes people like it when they look at it. Peel off the lotus pod, inside are fresh lotus seeds one by one, take a bite, sweet and crisp, the taste is fresh, and it is really delicious. The lotus flowers in a pond still have a lot of lotus flowers, and they should be able to harvest many lotus seeds. Take out the lotus seeds, peel off the shell, take out the lotus heart, dry it and keep it, you can make all kinds of things to eat.
Because the lotus heart is bitter, it is common to dig out the lotus heart when you eat lotus seeds.
At noon, Li Xin also went out and invited the tailor in the town to come over in the evening. When the tailor arrived at the house, Li Xin asked the tailor to measure the size of his sister three times, so that he could make clothes. When their measurements were ready, Wenbo and Wenhao also came back, so they measured Wenbo and Wenhao together. When he went to the county, Li Xin bought a lot of good fabrics and came back, so he thought about making a few good clothes for his sisters and brothers.
In the past, the family was poor and could not afford to wear new clothes, but now that life is better, everyone has to make a few more clothes. Since I do it, I also make a few pieces of clothes every season, and I buy a lot of fabrics, which is enough to make a lot of clothes. It's a pity that there is no cotton here, and there are no cotton jackets to wear in winter. You can only use some silk weaving materials to make two more layers, or wear a few more pieces.
There was a lot to do, and the tailor was naturally very happy, measured the size of a few people, collected the deposit, and left happily with the fabrics.
After that, Li Xin took his two younger sisters to live in the town, and occasionally returned to Osmanthus Village. When Wenbo and Wenhao were on vacation, Li Xin took a few younger brothers and sisters to Zhuangzi together. Everyone is very happy to be able to go to Zhuangzi, Wenbo and Wenhao have never been there, so they are very curious. Yueting and Yuexiang also like to go to Zhuangzi to play, and those servants in Zhuangzi also have children at home, and the two sisters have a lot of friends to play in Zhuangzi, so they are naturally very happy.
After entering Zhuangzi, Wen Bo and Wen Hao looked around curiously.
"This Zhuangzi is really big!" Wen Hao looked around and felt that his eyes were not enough. There are large areas of heaven and earth, and you can't see the end at a glance. There are so many fields, they really belong to their family! It's like a dream.
"Yes! More than 600 acres of land must be large. Let's take a look around later! There is also a large area of fruit groves, more than 30 acres, in which all kinds of fruits are planted, and next year, our family will have a lot of fruits to eat. Li Xin rubbed Wen Hao's head dotingly.
The carriage drove directly into the village, and the road inside was also wide enough for the carriage to pass. Looking at Zheng Xing, he still has some brains, Zhuangzi is too big, and it is really tiring to walk in it. The road inside can also be passed, so it is much more convenient. Every time the grain is harvested, the carriage can be directly transported in and out, which saves the need to manually transport the grain to the door of the Zhuangzi.
"That's a lot! Then we don't have endless fruit. ”
"Yes! There are endless fruits, so you can eat enough. When the fruit is ripe, we will come and stay here for a while, so that you can all eat it well. ”
"Good! All right! ”
The carriage stopped in front of the house, and Li Xin took Wenbo and them into the house. The construction of this house is very delicate and beautiful, the yard is full of well-known unknown flowers, and many of them are open at this time, although there is no scene of flowers blooming in spring, but it is also very beautiful.
"This house is really beautiful." While walking, Wenbo also sighed.
"And that's not all! There's also a big garden at the back, which is really beautiful. Tsukika echoed.
"Yuexiang, you take your eldest brother, second brother and Yueting to take a look! You can also go to the back garden to have a good time. ”
"Okay." Yuexiang responded, and took Wenbo, Wen Hao and Yueting to go. When they left, Li Xin asked the people who were waiting in the house to invite the husband and wife of the palace to come over
