Chapter 55: Make Me a Wish

Leaving Fu Bo to watch, Lin Shaoxuan took Jiang Jinyu back to the garden.

"If you're tired, tell me and we'll take a break before we do anything." Lin Shaoxuan regarded Jinyu as a delicate little girl, and she couldn't walk a few steps to ask for warmth, afraid that he would be tired, afraid that he would be bored, and afraid that he would be annoying.

"I'm not tired." Although Jin Yu felt that he cared too much, because he had already accepted him as a friend, she didn't think he was verbose, she just felt that it was really warm that someone cared so much.

When I was a child, it was rare to see my mother, and every time we met, she was like this, afraid of him cold, afraid of him being hot, afraid of him being hungry, and afraid of him being bored, even if she was sick, she still took care of her children first.

Since his mother's death, there is only one person in the world who has given him such care and care.

Seeing that Jinyu was still walking lightly and out of the dust, and was not tired and mundane because of accompanying him to work, Lin Shaoxuan was finally relieved.

Because Xiaoya is careful and thoughtful, and she is delicate and cute, Lin Shaoxuan intends to take care of her and transfer her to take care of the garden. As long as she watered every day and cleaned the house, she had a tael of silver, and the little girl was really full of energy, and she made the flowers and trees in the garden very good. In the past few days, the owner has lived here, and she has been even more energetic.

Seeing that the two sons were coming, Xiaoya hurriedly made two cups of new tea, and took some newly picked melons and fruits today.

"Childe, please use tea, my mother is making lunch, and it will be delivered in a while."

Tsk, the ancient landlords and old fortunes are really happy!

"Okay, wait a minute, tell your dad to come over after lunch, I have something big to arrange."

"Hey, I'll go."

Seeing that the little girl turned around and ran away, Lin Shaoxuan smiled, "This kid is really frizzy." ”

Jiang Jinyu looked at Xiaoya's vivid back, and was stunned for a while, but asked, "What kind of woman does Brother Lin like?" ”

Hey, I just gave me flowers, why did you turn your face and ask me what woman I like? How should I answer you?

"This woman, in my eyes, is the same, if you really want to say that you like it, it would be good if there was a woman like Jinyu. How did you remember to ask me this? ”

Jiang Jinyu just felt it in her heart, and didn't expect his answer, and only shook her head when she heard it.

"It's just that I envy this little girl's free and happy appearance."

The son of a prefect envy her as a little peasant girl? Jinyu, what's wrong with you today? I asked you to relax, why are there so many sighs? Don't get stuffy.

Lin Shaoxuan hurriedly persuaded: "These women are raised in the deep boudoir, and they only know how to embroider and play the piano every day, although the village women like little girls are freer, but they have to work hard for their livelihoods, and they are to marry into their husbands' families, and they don't know what the husband's character is, whether the in-laws are kind, and how to be happy with our men." ”

"All women in the world have a hard life, and they can't be free all their lives......"

What does a woman's life have to do with you and me? Lin Shaoxuan was afraid that he would hide his thoughts and not talk about getting sick, so he had to find a topic to interrupt.

"In fact, women can also read and be reasonable, if they can learn a craft, they can also come out to do things, make their own money and spend their own money, it's not good to earn a living from men?"

"Is that okay?" Jinyu frowned lightly and let out a whisper.

"Absolutely. When I had money, I opened a workshop in the city to recruit female workers, so that those women could have the opportunity to support themselves and no longer have to live on the handouts of others. ”

"I hope so."

Jiang Jinyu saw the liveliness and agility of the little girl, and remembered that she had been locked up in the house since she was a child, suppressed by her mother-in-law, and hated by her brother. He didn't want to say too much in front of Lin Shaoxuan, so he had to forcibly suppress his thoughts.

"You just said that there is a chicken that lays golden eggs, where do you keep it?"

"Haha, there really is more than one chicken that lays golden eggs. Let's take a break and come back after lunch. ”

Jiang Jinyu's cold and accustomed temperament, seeing that he was about to hang his appetite, he didn't ask any more, picked out a few cherries from the fruit bowl to eat, and handed Lin Shaoxuan an orange.

This kid has no curiosity at all. How can I make him happy?

Lin Shaoxuan recalled the process of getting along with the two, and found that he was only happiest when he raced with him in the morning, and then it was time for the two of them to develop perfume behind closed doors.

"Let's go, go to my room. No one bothered here, I'll tell you about the theory of perfume configuration, and you can try to see if you can develop a new formula. ”

"Okay!" Speaking of perfume, Jinyu really became interested and took the initiative to pull Lin Shaoxuan.

Measuring cups, test tubes, droppers, glass bottles, stirring rods, Lin Shaoxuan ordered a complete set of tools in the glass workshop, which were neatly arranged on the desk at this time. On one side of the table were brown glass bottles, labeled with various essential oils.

There are only three main rooms here, and one is left for Mrs. Lin, in order to keep the formula secret, Lin Shaoxuan simply installed the laboratory in his bedroom, and only separated it into two rooms inside and outside with a partition door.

The two gathered in the outer study, Lin Shaoxuan explained and demonstrated, and after a while, he concocted a new bottle of perfume. Jiang Jinyu saw that her hands were itchy, and after listening to his explanation, she also took a glass bottle and made it herself.

"You have to keep a record of which essential oils you use and how many drops you put in them. Perfume can only know its true fragrance after aging, and if you don't record it clearly, if you make a superb concoction, but forget how to make it, it is not to regret the loss of intestines. ”

"Well, I'll tell you, you can help me remember."

Lin Shaoxuan lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot, and saw that Jinyu was seriously thinking about the deployment, so he had to resign himself to being his secretary.

"Five drops of acacia flowers...... Two drops of coriander ......"

Jinyu drips the essential oil into the alcohol while reporting the formula, but is interrupted by the voice of Ai Ai.

"How do you write the word coriander?"

He raised his head and saw that Lin Shaoxuan's hands were like chicken feet, pinching a brush and scratching his ears and cheeks, and the words on the paper were like naughty children scribbling, like earthworms crawling, he couldn't read it.

How can a person with such ability and courage as you not even be able to write a single word? If you even tell me the perfume formula, it must not be deliberately covered up, it seems that you really can't write it.

Jiang Jinyu was surprised in his heart, but he still didn't say anything very thoughtfully, only told him to put down the pen, guide himself to make it, and only sit down to record it after mixing the new perfume.

The words are like his person, and Jinyu's words are as elegant and beautiful as himself, revealing a trace of fairy spirit.

"I'll teach you when I'm free." Lin Shaoxuan was envious, and Jinyu's warm voice sounded in his ears.

"Good! In the future, let's take a look at writing and writing together, you blow the flute and I sing, it's really happy like a fairy! Lin Shaoxuan thought he was ugly, and when he heard him say that he was willing to teach, he had another excuse to find him in the future, which was exactly what he wanted, and he immediately agreed.

"The pen should be held like this, and the words can be written strongly, and the pen ...... moved like this."

After Jinyu finished mixing a bottle, his nose was filled with various aromas, and he felt that he couldn't continue, so he simply taught him to write.

Haha, beautiful! Being held by him and pasted behind him, Lin Shaoxuan became happy, and even writing with the most headache brush became a kind of enjoyment. is writing interestingly, and the little girl is calling outside.

"Childe, the meal is ready."

"Okay, come on."

The two tidied up their desks and walked outside together to wash their hands and eat. Lunch is still the same farmhouse flavor, except that there is an extra plate of river shrimp and a bowl of river mussel soup.

"Haha, how much did the mussels collect? How did it all boil into soup? Lin Shaoxuan tasted it, it was very delicious.

"I collected a thousand according to the son's orders, and kept them all in a bamboo basket." Xiaoya laughed on the side, and added, "This is to pick the remaining small ones, there are still many left, my mother specially made them for the son." ”

"Yes, you can go back to dinner, and then come with your father after eating."

Without Xiaoya and no one to disturb me, this meal was very relaxed and enjoyable.

"Don't underestimate this river mussel, this is the golden rooster that lays eggs." Lin Shaoxuan picked up a piece of mussel meat and told Jinyu about his pearl mussel breeding plan.

"What else can be done? Can it be done? Jiang Jinyu didn't believe it. Pearls are generally occasionally obtained by fishermen, or pearl divers on the seashore risk death in the sea, which is extremely precious. If it can be bred in batches as he said, then it is not just a golden rooster, it is simply a thousand golden chickens!

"Try it, the success rate is huge. Even if it doesn't work, it will only cost dozens of taels of silver, what are you afraid of. ”

River mussels are 30 wen a catty, bamboo baskets are 20 wen a catty, 1,000 mussels plus bamboo baskets only cost 5,000 yuan, and it does not cost much to raise them in the water, as long as you pick a few dexterous female workers and teach them the technique of planting chips. This technology can't be leaked for the time being, but well, no one will care about it until he dives pearls for the first time.

"I'll raise it for a year first, and then pull it out next year to take a look, and the bad ones will be ground into pearl powder, and the good ones will be kept for jewelry. It's not complicated at all, I'll teach you if you want to see it. ”

"Where did you learn that?" Jin Yu asked the question that Lin Shaoxuan was most afraid of.

"Me? I just figured it out on my own, and I had to try it to know if I succeeded or not. Lin Shaoxuan changed the topic and asked him to continue horse racing tomorrow.

I know that you have many secrets, so naturally you will not ask them, and I am very happy that you are willing to teach me everything without hesitation.

Jiang Jinyu was moved in her heart, seeing that he didn't want to talk deeply, she also talked about tomorrow's horse race with him, "If I win tomorrow, it won't be a meal to pass away." ”

"Whatever you want. Well, if I win, you'll have to promise me one condition. ”

Haha, routine, as long as you are willing to promise me a condition, I will definitely hold on to you.

"Okay, then if I win, you want you to give me one thing."

The two of them clapped their hands three times, each with their own calculations, but they were both looking forward to tomorrow's horse race.

"The owner, the little old man came to listen to the owner's orders." Ge Zhuangtou's voice sounded outside the door.

"Let's go, let's go and turn the river mussel into a golden rooster." Lin Shaoxuan was thinking about what wish he should make if he won the horse race tomorrow, and when he thought of the pride, he couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, pulled up Jinyu and walked out.
