Xiao Yu'er felt that there was nothing wrong with planting some flowers and medicinal herbs in the spare yard of the house, which would be used as waste first, and convenient for her and her sister to take care of.
But Changle thought more, she remembered that her aunt had recently found a lot of masters to come to the door to teach her, Xiao Yu'er, and Brother Rong. There are a lot of houses needed, what if they rashly occupy a few yards, and then the house is not enough to live?
When Jin Niang heard this question outside the door, she was also worried. But then her brain was excited, what kind of worry she was so worried about.
Although the same prefect is not as large as the prefect's mansion, it is also a five-entry house. Such a large mansion is enough to invite hundreds of ten masters - although there is no guarantee that each of them will be treated like An Lan, with an independent courtyard. But the small courtyard in the same prefect's mansion is basically two, so there are two masters living in it, and there is no pressure at all.
After thinking about it, Jin Niang opened her mouth and said, "Don't worry that the yard in the house is not enough to live, since you and Xiao Yu'er want to plant flowers and plants, hurry up and pick the yard." Taking advantage of the fact that Huhe is now leading people to renovate the land, you have found a good yard and can let Huhe clean up the yard according to your expectations, whether it is planting flowers or medicinal herbs, you have to hurry. After all, Hezhou has already opened spring, if you don't hurry up for a while, what should you do if the flowers don't bloom well by then, and the medicinal materials can't ripen? ”
Changle and Xiao Yu'er saw Jinniang enter the door, and quickly walked up to her to help her. Jin Niang waved her hand, no need for them. She is only more than two months pregnant, and she moves very quickly, without the help of her children.
But just now, she repeated it again, let Changle and Xiaoyu'er think about it, and if they really have an idea, they should find Huhe as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no store in this village.
When Changle and Xiao Yu'er heard this, their eyes almost turned red. Neither of them could take care of Guan Jinniang, and they were about to run out in a hurry.
Jin Niang said, "Wait for me, I'm idle, I'll go with you." ”
But mother/aunt, we don't have the leisure to go to the yard now, we want to pick the yard to plant flowers and medicinal herbs. The flowers planted can be bathed in petals, can be made into flower cakes, can be made into rouge gouache, and can also be flavored. Medicinal herbs can be used to make pills, which can be used at home, and can also make a lot of beauty and beauty things......
Even Jin Niang herself didn't know, she invited An Lan to be Xiao Yu'er and Changle as a master, in addition to the skills she said, An Lan also has a lot of experience in beauty. Of course, many women nowadays have their own knacks in beauty, but what An Lan has mastered seems to be more profound and more prominent. Changle attributed this to Master Anlan's extraordinary background, so he had a wider range of knowledge.
But no matter what, it is normal for women to love beauty, even if Changle and Xiaoyuer are young, they also begin to pay attention to their appearance. When they saw Master Anlan making beauty and beauty things, they were naturally a little more interested, so they couldn't wait to plant flowers and medicinal herbs at home, so they were ready to learn the craft from the master when the time came, and they also made useful things, not to mention selling them outside to make money, at least they had to surprise their mothers/aunts and little aunts.
They are full of energy, but the mother/aunt always wants to hold back.
Well, well, given that the mother/aunt doesn't go out much in order to raise the baby, there is not even anyone to talk to. If they dislike her again, the mother/aunt will be pitiful. It's better to bring your mother/aunt, even if you move slowly, they always know what the yard is going on. Those that can be used, they also ticked in their hearts, and now they are just passing by, so they can make up their minds.
Since you save time on the selection, let's go slower and spend some time with my mother to enjoy the scenery.
Changle and Xiao Yu'er picked three courtyards in a row, and those three courtyards were very simple because they were used to house the people in the mansion earlier. In addition to a few houses, there are only a few large trees left in the yard. Such a yard is easy to tidy up, just cut down the trees.
Moreover, the three courtyards are connected together, and one of them has a well, which makes it easy to irrigate flowers and medicinal herbs in the future. What's more, the sun is good here, and it is secluded, so it will be a pastime after it is cleaned up.
The two little girls decided on the place, and Jin Niang asked people to notify Huhe to send someone to clean it up, and by the way, the wall in the middle of the yard was pushed to replan the land.
It's not the end of the job, you have to buy flowers, you have to buy seeds for medicinal herbs, and there is also the problem of breeding, whether the mixing of different medicinal materials is easy to grow insects, which needs to be solved.
When Changle and Xiao Yu'er thought of these things, they wanted to quickly go to someone who knew how to ask for advice, and then buy a few books to read and check the information.
The two of them didn't have time to stay here any longer, so they prepared to go back, and Jin Niang naturally wanted to go back with them. She has walked a lot today, and she is really tired from running from the second gate to this big rear.
In addition, although it is now spring, the temperature rises at noon, but it is still cool in the morning and evening. She went out after her lunch break wearing only a single coat, and now that the sun was setting, she felt cold, and she had to hurry back to add clothes.
The three of them went separately and went their own way.
After Jin Niang went back to Cuibai Yuan to change her jacket, she was rarely interested, so she went to the kitchen for a turn. In the kitchen, there is a soup stock stewed with pork barrel bones and chicken racks, and a pot of sheep and scorpions.
Jin Niang took a deep breath and looked at the reddish-brown juice-filled sheep scorpion, and her saliva was about to run out of her mouth.
She really wanted to be unreserved, and asked the maid to bring her two sheep and scorpions to fill her stomach first, but now there are not only a few of them in the yard, but also the people brought by the Huhe River are working in full swing. She is a housewife, and she hides in the kitchen to eat sheep and scorpions.
For the sake of face, let's bear with it.
In order to prevent saliva from really running out of her mouth, Jin Niang hurriedly took Qinggu out of the kitchen. The two walked side by side towards the flower hall, and Jin Niang's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of Qinggu who seemed to be looking at a man in the crowd of workers.
Well? Man!
Jin Niang lifted her heart for a while, and even forgot about the sheep scorpion that hooked the worms in her stomach.
She was now full of gossip passion, wondering if she had been dazzled just now. I wonder if Aoya has a crush on a man in the crowd? Are they two lovers, or are they Aoya's unrequited love? And how did they get acquainted, and what was the fate between the two?
Jin Niang's four big maids, Qinghe, Qingmiao, Qingsui, and Qinggu. The four of them are either steady and careful, or spicy and capable, or lively and clever, or clever and ingenious. In short, these four people are quite satisfied, and the master and servant have really cultivated a lot of friendship after a few years of getting along.
When Jin Niang was in Pingyang earlier, she still thought that she couldn't delay the family affairs of a few maids, and when they reached their age, she would give each of them a family marriage.
But all these years of rushing things, she forgot about it. Now that she saw Qinggu's small movements, she brought up this thought again.
Having said that, several maids are now in their twenties, and it is indeed time to kiss. Speaking of which, it's still to blame her for delaying their family affairs.
Jin Niang paid attention, so she thought about taking some time after dinner and asking a few people what they thought.
Among these four people, Qinghe Qingmiao has no emotional journey worth talking about, but Qingsui said earlier that her father and mother set a baby for her when she was young, but after the flood in her hometown, they were separated.
Qingsui is a dead eye, and maybe he has a good impression of the little brother in his memory, so after he arrived at Cuibai Garden, he said that he had no thoughts of marriage in this life - if the little brother came back alive, then it was another matter.
There is also Qinggu, Qinggu is the most beautiful and gorgeous of her four maids. At the same time, this girl is also angry, so she wants to marry someone and be a good lady - she worked in a family earlier, was coerced by the main family, and was almost forced to be a concubine. After that, she got away with it, but her brother and sister-in-law wanted to sell her again in exchange for a large sum of money. It's also this girl who is clever and knows her appearance, and she can't keep herself with her ability, so she simply sells herself.
Anyway, Qinggu is spicy and neat, dares to love and hate, and with this appearance and figure, no matter who she marries, as long as she doesn't make heaven and earth, she will have to live a good life.
Jin Niang thinks that it is good to marry Qinggu to be a good lady outside. Even if it doesn't work, it's not bad to marry a capable housekeeper in the house, and be a housekeeper. Now I just don't know who the man Qinggu has his eye on and whether he has any ability.
Jin Niang was curious, so she motioned to Qinggu to follow her to the flower hall.
Qinggu was still a little baffled, and he didn't know what Madame wanted to do. But after Mrs. was pregnant, she didn't care much about it. As soon as the clinker entered the flower hall, he was blushed by Jin Niang's question.
Qinggu didn't answer, but his face became redder and redder, red like clouds on the horizon.
Jin Niang became more and more curious, so she smiled and urged her, "Say it quickly." It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's what you like, as long as that person's character passes, I won't beat the mandarin ducks. But then again, how did you meet, and where was the man on an errand? ”
Qinggu still didn't speak, and Jinniang looked at Qingsui in the house. Qingsui and Qinggu are usually on duty together, and the relationship between the two is more intimate. If there is something about Qinggu that Qingsui doesn't know, then there shouldn't be.
Qinggu saw that Jinniang looked at Qingsui, afraid that Qingsui would not be able to stand the pressure of his wife to speak out, so he immediately jumped to his feet in a hurry. "I said, I said it's not okay."
While talking, he covered his face with shame and said what he had known about it.
In fact, it's really simple, the man is on an errand under Mohe and Huhe, because Xu Erlang is often not in the house, and Jinniang has some things to do with Mohe and Huhe. And the people who generally go to spread the word are either Qinghe or Qinggu, and over time, they will become familiar with each other.
Aoya covered his face and continued, "It's me who likes him, and he doesn't know my intentions at all. ”
When Jin Niang heard this, she scoffed at Qinggu's statement, she didn't believe that the man didn't know Qinggu's feelings for him at all.
Not to mention that she can be an errand under Mohe and Huhe, and she is entrusted with important tasks by the two, she is definitely not an incompetent person, just say that Qinggu is such a glamorous beauty, she usually doesn't look at people, and others have to stare at her twice. If she had looked at the man a few more times, it would have been impossible for him to remain indifferent unless he was a piece of wood.
And Qinggu just said that this was the man she unilaterally liked, and Jinniang felt that this was because Qinggu was worried that she would make things difficult for that person afterwards, or that he would corrupt the atmosphere of the mansion and expel people from the mansion. All in all, Qinggu was afraid that because of her fault, she would implicate that person, so she would say so.
Is this the kind of person that Jin Niang is? It's not a mile.
Although she doesn't like to be a matchmaker, she likes to watch lovers eventually become a circle. She is not the queen mother, and she can't see the fairies around her looking for tenderness and sweetness. She is a very enlightened master, and she has no reason to disagree with the maids in finding their own lifelong happiness - as long as their behavior is not out of line, not illegal, and not against ethics.
After Qinggu answered, seeing that Jinniang didn't react for a long time, he looked up worriedly, and saw that Jinniang didn't know what she thought of, and she was distracted.
Qinggu looked at Qingsui helplessly, and saw Qingsui shaking her head at her, signaling her not to worry.
The lady is of a pure nature, and will not blame her for this. What's more, she just likes it, and she doesn't have any out-of-the-ordinary actions, let alone corrupt the atmosphere in the house. Therefore, Madame will definitely not punish Aoya.
Qingsui asked Qinggu to calm down for a while, but Qinggu was still worried. Just when she couldn't help but start thinking about the worst outcome, Jin Niang finally came back to her senses from her apprehension.
She asked Aoya, "Have you been in contact with that person, do you feel that it is worth entrusting you for life?" ”
Aoya's coquettish face turned even redder for a while, her face was red and her heart was beating, and her heart was beating so fast that it was about to pop out of her mouth. She still had a dry mouth, as if something had something in her throat, and she couldn't spit it out for a while, and she couldn't swallow it.
Does Madame mean yes? Do you want to make decisions for her?
For a moment, these thoughts popped out of the depths of his mind, and Aoya's hands and feet trembled with excitement.
She pondered for a long time before she whispered back in Qingsui's sight of watching the show and Jin Niang's somewhat teasing eyes, "I think, I think he's very good." ”
Jin Niang deliberately raised her ears, and even put her hand on the side of her ear, making an inaudible posture, "Your voice is too quiet, Qinggu, you say it louder." ”
Aoya was not ashamed, nor was he angry, so he finally mustered up the courage and dropped a sentence, "I just think he's good." And he hurried out. The back is quite a posture of running away. Looking at the fast speed of the run, it was as if a ghost was chasing her from behind.
Jin Niang endured it several times, but after all, she couldn't hold back, and gently covered her stomach and laughed. Even Qingsui, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but cover his mouth with a handkerchief after watching a good show, and smiled and bent his eyes.
Thinking about how spicy Qinggu used to be, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a choking little pepper. She has a bit of a temper, but her ability to do things is quite high, so Madame is also willing to spoil her. Then there were the grandmothers and little maids in the courtyard, seeing that Qinggu was so face-saving in front of his wife, and he was really afraid of her fastidious style and the knife-like mouth, so after being caught by Qinggu, their faces were like earth, and they were very depressed.
In the past, she was the only one who taught others, and the scene where others were red-faced and red-eared and repeatedly admitted their mistakes, I didn't want to be red-faced this time, and I fled to Qinggu. This is really, feng shui takes turns, and the sky spares anyone.
