176 Zhuangzi

The quality of the skins from her Zhuangzi is very good, the fur is oily and slippery, this is her own stocking, her mother is very good at business, every year will buy some mountain slopes or something, plant some trees, regularly stocking a group of cubs in the spring, you can harvest a certain amount of skin in the next winter, the tree can also be made of wood after it grows, and you can save a lot of money just by giving a gift every year.

Rich and noble families have their own farmland, and they are basically self-sufficient in eating, drinking, and clothing, and only a few places that need money are not available on the farmland or they do not have it to buy.

What kind of field will come with his mother, and he will not blindly stick to good fields, mountains and other fields can be planted with fruit trees or others, all of which have their own uses, as long as the heart is alive, it may not be impossible to make money.

These are also the things she followed her mother to take care of the affairs of the farm, and slowly learned little by little, these days she has begun to take over the affairs of the store and the farm, and it is time to get married after two years of study, and it will not be too strange to manage it alone at that time, so that the steward coaxed it.

This year, my mother bought a lot of sacrificial fields for the clan, in addition to the money given by my grandmother to buy the fields, the mother bought some fields with her own money to make up a whole number, and also gave a part of the money to the clan, and donated a few small courtyards in her hands to the clan, indicating that who can get the ranking in the next year's scientific examination can get different rewards according to the ranking.

This makes the children of the clan study more and more hard, especially the children whose family conditions are not very good, they are even more energetic to study, and strive for a good ranking.

Yang Lan admires her mother's hand very much, and she has to do it early. On weekdays, my mother takes a fancy to this. During the New Year's holidays, no family will be left behind. Especially if the poor are poor, they try their best to reward their children, or send some meat, rice, food and books to the past, and they are considerate and will not slap others in the face.

This year, after the cold weather, the food in the clan school has also been improved, and more masters from Jinshi have been invited to come back to teach the children, so as to distinguish the children who are preparing for the scientific examination, so as not to be affected together, it can be said that they are doing their best, so that the old and young in the clan have nothing to say.

Yang Lan saw the end from the beginning. I feel that I have a lot to learn, I can't help but admire my mother, I do things with an atmosphere, and I am highly praised by the old and young in the clan.

Yang Lan stayed up for three nights and finally finished the cloaks of the eldest brother and second brother before leaving, and it happened that at noon this day, Yang Hao and Yang Pei came over.

"It just so happened that you guys came, and I made the big sweater for you, and I saw that I didn't make a new one the year before last. It may not be too warm, but this year I made you a new cape. You guys try the fit, don't you? I still have time to change it if it doesn't fit, and when I go to Zhuangzi, I'm afraid it will delay you to wear it. Yang Lan unfolded two cloak of different colors.

Yang Hao didn't pay much attention to the cloak, but glanced at Yang Lan, and found that her eyes were a little blue, and her eyes were a little picked, so he couldn't help but blame: "How big is it, isn't it worth staying up late for you to stay up late?" Look at your eyes, what should you do if your eyes are burned out at a young age? ”

Yang Pei also felt distressed, "It's just that no matter how good the material is, it's not worth my sister's hard work, isn't it the same for you to make the needlework room." ”

Yang Lan smiled warmly, "They can't do what I want, I changed the cloak a little, and added some buckles to the placket inside, if it's cold, you can tie it, so that you can block the wind, you try it." ”

Yang Lan felt that the cloak was open, and it was handsome to wear out, but the front was not wind-blocking, so after thinking for a long time, she decided to improve the front part, and sewed a hidden buckle inside, which was really cold and could be tied up, and an extra edge was sewn on one side to block the gap between the buttons, which was used to block the wind.

The two brothers tried it, looked at the hidden buckle designed inside, and nodded secretly, sure enough, it took a lot of thought, and the inner layer is also double-lining, which is warmer.

Yang Hao's eyes were warm, the corners of his lips were slightly Yang, and his smile was light but with a hint of pampering, "Very good, don't stay up late like this in the future, it's not good for your eyes." ”

"That's it, that's it." Yang Pei also echoed, happily wearing a cloak and looking back and forth.

Yang Lan saw that her brothers liked it, and she was very happy, and that tiredness was swept away, "I'm going to Zhuangzi in two days, I want to rush out in advance, I'm afraid that you will go out to run errands in the cold, I look at the appearance that it may snow, so I want to catch up, I didn't stay up late at other times, brother, don't worry." ”

Yang Hao nodded, and the little guy next to him brought in a small box, Yang Hao pointed to the box and said: "This is what I asked people to get some pearls from the south, the color is beautiful and the particles are large, I heard that it is a sea pearl is very good, you take it to play, not enough for my brother to buy it for you." ”

Yang Lan happily leaned over and opened the box to take a look, it was full of pearls, all round, each of which was the size of a dragon's eye, it was really rare, the best was that the color was beautiful, it was a pale pink color, and a few were light purple colors, which were very good-looking.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that a few of them were black, with a black and blue glow, glowing rainbow-like colors in the sun, "There are also black ones, this one looks like a rainbow, it's so beautiful, thank you, big brother, I like it so much." She smiled happily, her smile like a flower, and her eyes were bright and clear, with a cheerful joy.

Yang Hao couldn't help but show a happy and relaxed smile, but said on his lips: "Gadgets, if you like my brother is looking for some for you, I asked people to find some sea boats when I was in Jiangnan, and brought some Western goods back, I estimate that I will receive them before the Chinese New Year, including sapphires and cat's eyes, you can use them to play with jewelry." ”

Yang Lan shook her head happily, her eyes were bright, and her smile was dotted with small pear vortices, which was very cute, "Is there a Westerner's glass recipe?" There is also a recipe for a fire gun, if it's convenient, don't forget to ask about these things, I think this can make a lot of money, especially the recipe for the production of glass, I think Westerners may have it. ”

Yang Hao touched his chin and pondered for a moment, and nodded thoughtfully, "Cheng, I'll go back and ask someone to look for it, but there will be no news for a while, just ask more." He thinks that his sister's idea is very good, maybe it can be extended, and other Westerners can also be learned, and if it works, take it back and talk about it.

He glanced at Yang Pei, the two brothers glanced at each other, Yang Pei nodded, saying that he would keep it in mind, go back and ask the brothers over there in Fujian, let me help keep a snack, don't care what stuff, go home first.

Yang Lan saw that her brothers were interested, so she didn't care anymore, her brothers were much more capable than herself, some of them were scheming, since they had a heart, they would definitely pay attention to it. She was intently pulling at the pearls, wondering if she would make jewelry or something else.

On the second day, Yang Lan and her brothers and sisters, took their grandmother in a carriage together, and went to Zhuangzi to play for a few days, this time accompanied by the third lady, after the second aunt came back, the third lady took the initiative to hand over the housekeeping rights, and now her son and daughter have hope, she is not rare in the housekeeping rights, her son has entered the Jinyi Guard, and he is more and more man-like, and he is trained by Brother Hao, she can not rest assured.

The daughter's marriage was also handed over to the eldest princess, the eldest princess said that she would definitely be able to let her daughter set a good family affair, so that she could rest assured, then what else did she worry about, the long room even took over the makeup gift for a few girls' families, the daughter's dowry was only a lot more, and the long room was filled with a lot of jewelry and fabrics, saving herself a lot of silver.

"Mother, do you want to drink a bowl of hot tits, the road is still long, don't starve you." The third lady and the old lady rode in a carriage to take care of their mother-in-law.

As soon as the old lady thought that she could go to the greenhouse to see the vegetables she planted, she was happy to think about it, and she was very excited at this time, not hungry at all, and shook her head and said: "I'm not hungry, I get up early and eat to my heart's content, you have to eat yourself when you're hungry, don't worry about me." ”

The third lady smiled and shook her head, the old lady didn't care about everything in the past six months, only played with her grandchildren, or played cards to pass the time, and when it was hot, she drummed up her vegetable patch, and now her temper is more and more like a child, she just wants to play, and she is not happy to take care of other things.

The old lady was not at ease, so she turned her head and asked Yang Lan, "Lan'er, you said that they would take care of my dishes, I am afraid that they will not make it and forget it." She was a little worried about it, and wished she could fly over to see her vegetable patch sooner.

Yang Lan smiled helplessly, and comforted: "Grandmother, don't worry, I also specially instructed them to take care of it last time, if you dare to pay them money carelessly, you will punish them with silver, and I will give you a good heart, I am still waiting to eat the vegetables planted by my grandmother, the eggplant cold melon you planted last time is really delicious, I think I can eat the tomatoes planted by my grandmother this time, it must taste very good." ”

The old lady smiled and nodded, "Isn't it, you brought the tomato first, I thought I couldn't eat it, who knew that it was so delicious to use for cooking, the sweet and sour taste was really good, but unfortunately there were few people I knew, they didn't dare to eat it, and it was not as good as me." ”

Tomato seeds came from the West, flowed into the capital, and the people below showed them to Yang Lan, knowing that she liked these strange things, originally to please her, but she didn't expect this thing to be edible, Yang Lan made a dish for the old lady's mother to eat, and after eating, they all said that it was good, so they agreed to plant a little in the greenhouse in the Zhuangzi, and also add a dish to the table at home.

However, this thing has not yet been popularized, many people do not recognize this thing, and do not dare to eat it, for fear of poison, so few people care, can only consume and eat by themselves, the old lady feels that she is still very open-minded and brave, and can't help but show off with her granddaughter.

Yang Lan hurriedly praised, "Of course, grandmother is the most enlightened and courageous, I admire it tightly, grandmother will cook you a few dishes when she turns around, and I guarantee that you love to eat." ”

"Really, I'll wait to eat then." The old lady smiled and nodded. (To be continued......)
