During these days, Jiang Xuehe was very painful every time she settled the accounts, thinking why did she ever worry about money back then? It's a pity that her mother only taught her how to spend money back then, but didn't teach her how to make money, so that she now earns a sum of money every time, and the amount of money is not enough to build.

Although this perfume lotus is constantly sold, if it is sold like this, will it not be expensive enough, so it will not be worth the previous price?

Gu Siyan said with a smile: "It's not like that, you only sell three cans a day, although a can of ten taels of silver is a little expensive, but there are several people in this county who can afford it." Now they are really just trying it, but haven't you come back after a long time? Anyway, this flower is currently only available to you, and it will not be a problem for you to use it to earn half a year. ”

Jiang Xuehe felt that this was also reasonable, not to mention that it had been a long time, she had only been selling for a long time and had repeat customers. Xu Zhixian and Tao liked it after using it, so they bought a few cans with Jiang Xuehe and sent them back to the capital.

"By the way, I see you bought three shops, what are you going to do with the third shop?" Gu Siyan asked again.

Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "I've been researching and making incense powder with Xuan'er recently, and I have made a few more recently, and I plan to put them in Sister Rou's shop for trial sale in a few days." If the effect is good, I will open a powder shop for Xuan'er in the future. Lan'er still needs Ah Xian's help now, if she can take charge of herself in the future, I can buy another one when I have saved enough money. ”

Gu Siyan looked at her and felt funny, thinking that Jiang Xuehe, the eldest sister, was really like a mother, and she was working hard every day for her four younger brothers and sisters. Sometimes he wondered if this was a natural lover who not only thought of everything for her younger siblings, but also for his younger siblings. Just thinking about it, this is a girl who has been pampered since childhood, if it weren't for the great change overnight, how could it be the current character?

She would never have worried about money before, but now she is worried everywhere. But every time I finish worrying, I am full of energy to earn money, and it is interesting to watch.

Whenever she was afraid of drawing drawings or writing articles in the study, he would come over to help add a stroke or two, and think of a few poems to polish it, so that she would not have to bother so much. Jiang Xuehe also likes Gu Siyan like this, there is nothing wrong with letting her paint by herself, she likes to paint those flowers, birds, insects and fish since she was a child. But it was too difficult for her to write lyrics and poems, and she couldn't think of half a poem after racking her brains, but fortunately, Gu Siyan was on the side to help her, so that she could write the book smoothly and not be stuck by those poems.

In the hottest August, Jiang Xuehe stayed at home almost every day, doing things that could be done without going out. This actually makes her very comfortable, after all, she has not liked to go out and have fun since she was a child.

At the end of August, the Gu family also welcomed a distinguished guest, Jiang Xuehe was directly stunned when she saw the Tao family, she never thought that this county lady would appear here directly.

Tao smiled: "You don't have to be so restrained, I just came here to sit, and I am curious about your yard, there should be a lot of flowers, right?" ”

Jiang Xuehe was curious: "Why did Madam come over?" ”

"My lord went out on patrol today, wanting to see how the people in the nearby villages lived. He is now checking in front of me, I feel bored, remember that you are also from Hejia Village, so I came to take a look. Dow smiled and asked, "Can you show me the flowers you planted?" ”

"It's rare for a lady to come to the cold house, and the people are naturally welcome." Jiang Xuehe hurriedly welcomed people in.

Before Dow went in, she noticed someone in the courtyard next door secretly looking at her, but she didn't pay attention. Although it is said that it is a micro-service patrol, but the life of Tao and Xu Xianling is too far away from the rural people, and they don't know what the blind dates in the village usually wear, and by the time they react, it is already too late, and they don't know how much attention they have attracted along the way. Therefore, I was used to looking at Dow quietly like this, and I didn't think much about it.

After entering the courtyard, Tao was stunned, she didn't expect that there were still a few delicate peonies in this small courtyard in the countryside, but the courtyard of the Gu family was not like the yard of ordinary countrymen.

This yard is like one of the small courtyards in the homes of the rich, with rockeries, ponds and a few bushes of Guanyin bamboo, which are very beautifully arranged. There are a lot of lotus flowers planted in the pond, and before you pass through the pond, you can smell the lotus fragrance, and when you get closer, you can see a few golden koi swimming among the lotus flowers below.

The yards of rich and noble families are generally scattered and quiet, but the courtyard of the Gu family is different, a pot of flowers is full of vitality, which makes people happy. Tao stood in the courtyard and looked around, and saw the stone basin that Xu Zhixian had rewarded their family with, and the stone basin had now been planted with a new perfume lotus.

Tao saw it very much, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this stone basin was finally picked up by adults, although it didn't cost much, but the value of this stone basin is not low, and I was a little distressed when the adults sent it." If he comes with me and sees this stone basin, I'm afraid I'll want to move it back directly. After all, it was the first one planted here, but it was his favorite perfume, the lotus. ”

Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "Has the adult's favorite flower now become a perfume lotus?" ”

Tao said with a smile: "At present, I love this most in my heart, but thinking about the literati style and saying that I prefer white lotus and green lotus." But I've known him since childhood, can I still not know what he's thinking? ”

Jiang Xuehe thought for a while and said, "If adults love green lotus, will Mrs. look at this pot of adults and like it?" ”

Tao Shi looked in the direction pointed by Jiang Xuehe, and saw that there was a small stone basin planted with ancient clumsiness. There is a pale green perfume lotus planted in the small stone basin, although the green is very light and light, the color is very positive, and it is indeed the appearance that Xu County Linghui likes. Coupled with Jiang Xuehe's skillful hand arrangement, the lotus flower looked more and more elegant, and even she was happy to see it.

Tao forgot about the surroundings again, and found that there were about 30 pots of perfumed lotus flowers planted in this courtyard, each of which was in full bloom and very rich in color.

"Is there so many colors of this lotus flower?" Dow was surprised.

Jiang Xuehe smiled: "Yes, the folk girl also feels that she has picked up a treasure." ”

"Then ......" Tao originally wanted to ask her why she only brought a pot of blue-purple perfumed lotus flowers to the hibiscus banquet in the first place, but she soon understood.

The puff is not guilty of his crimes. This flower is the first time she has seen it, she believes that many people in this world are seeing it for the first time, according to Jiang Xuehe, this is a variety that only exists overseas, but now who knows where to find such seeds? Everyone only knows that Jiang Xuehe has it in her hand, so they will naturally come to her first for trouble. If she had put out all the colors of perfume lotus flowers at the beginning, she was afraid that there would be no peace in the future.

Tao also inquired about the affairs of the Jiang family and the Gu family before he came, and knew a little about them, and felt that it was not easy for this young couple to live, and it was normal to pay more attention.

"Let's just say I haven't been here today, there are really a lot of good things in your yard, and you can't reveal them at will." Dow looked at the pale green perfume lotus and was reluctant, "It's just that this pot can be sold to me?" We're adults going to love it. ”

Jiang Xuehe smiled: "If Madame likes it, just give it to Madame." ”

Dow shook his head: "If I buy it back with a lot of money, my lord will be happy." But if I take it back without spending money, no matter how good the money is, my husband won't be happy. ”

"The adults are high-spirited and bright, which is admirable."

"What is the high wind and bright festival? Just a fool? There is a sense of simplicity on his body, but fortunately, the people here are simple, so he can live so comfortably. Tao said and stuffed a silver ticket of one hundred taels into Jiang Xuehe's hand.

Jiang Xuehe was embarrassed to accept it, and hurriedly pushed it back.

Tao said with a smile: "You just take it, don't you know, as soon as the hibiscus banquet ended, he spent more than a hundred taels to buy other people's green lotus." But how can the color of that pot be as good as yours? You don't have to take this one hundred taels in vain. Besides, your breed is even rarer than his. ”

Jiang Xuehe sounded a little reasonable, but there seemed to be something wrong, but she finally accepted the silver ticket, thinking that she would find an opportunity to give Tao a few more bottles of incense powder in the future.

Dow chatted with her again, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed a large patch of chrysanthemum grass planted in a corner of the yard, and she couldn't help but stop.

"Those are the autumn chrysanthemums you planted?" Dow asked.

Jiang Xuehe nodded and said, "Those are all brought by me from my mother's house, and they are considered dowry." My mother said that these autumn chrysanthemums are all edible, and I don't know if it's true. ”

Her mother also said that when the autumn chrysanthemum bloomed this year, she would make autumn chrysanthemum cakes for a few of their sisters and brothers, but unfortunately there was no chance.

"Can Qiu Ju also eat it?" Dow was curious.

Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "It is said that some can be eaten and some cannot be eaten, and these are also varieties that my mother found by chance." I'm not sure yet, I'd like to wait until it's blooming. ”

Tao smiled: "Okay, if this autumn chrysanthemum can really be eaten, I will buy two more pots when the time comes." By the way, when the autumn comes, the adults will definitely hold an autumn chrysanthemum banquet in the county, and you must come when the time comes. ”

"Madam, don't worry, I still want to take advantage of the east wind of the banquet to start our family's signboard, naturally I will not let go of such an opportunity." Jiang Xuehe said with a smile.

After Tao left, the people on the west side of the courtyard had another small meeting, because they recognized that the noble lady who had just been to the east courtyard was the county magistrate at the hibiscus banquet.

"Then what kind of good luck did the East Courtyard hand over? Why is the county lady going to their house as a guest now? The more Gu Dandan thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became.

Gu Shuangshuang didn't take this matter to heart: "I heard that Mrs. County Ling is a flower lover, and it just so happens that the new daughter-in-law in the East Courtyard is a flower planter." This is not considered to have climbed up to Mrs. Zhixian, what is the difference between her and a florist for that lady? ”

Gu Dandan was immediately relieved when he heard this: "It's also true, if you are really a gardener, it is not a big deal." I'm afraid that if Mrs. County Ling likes to talk to her again, her flowers will be better sold at that time. ”

"In that case, let's let those people in the East Courtyard have no flowers to sell." Gu Sibei said, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
