Chapter 31: Thank you
Song Zhengtian came back to look at the children's homework, and only let them leave when they were satisfied, and Zilan also took the opportunity to run away. I went to the garden to play with Shuhui.
At night, Zilan slept with the old lady in the warm pavilion, and when the old lady fell asleep, she sank her consciousness into the space, first cleaned up the flower garden, picked the open flowers to dry, and then turned around to extract essential oils or make sachets. I collected some honey and divided it into jars.
The east and north sides of the space are planted with tea trees, fruit groves and medicinal herbs, which are also planted by buying seeds, and some fruits can also be used for incense, such as citrus, lemon and other fruits, or essential oils are also very good.
Tea tree, is to drink it yourself or give it away, perfume is an elegant thing, those who play high-end spices are either rich or expensive, Zilan is also very popular in the circle because she is a perfumer, and her assets are also rich, so it is inevitable to deal with rich and noble people, and in addition to incense, the most elegant and incorrect gift is tea.
Generally speaking, the fragrance is accompanied by the guqin and cooking tea, listening to the sound of the piano, the snort is the gentle fragrance, three or five friends cooking a cup of tea, talking and chatting, it is a rare quiet and relaxing leisure time.
So she planted some tea trees of all kinds, and every year she would ask the tea master to help her make some, and she also learned a few tricks herself, and occasionally made some tea for her friends.
In order to learn how to make tea, I went to the place of origin every year to ask the master for advice, on the one hand, to find a good master to make tea, on the other hand, it is more convenient to learn it myself, even if it is a two-knife craft.
The quality of the tea trees in the space is very good, and the taste of the tea made is also quite good.
There are also some tea leaves in the storage room.
Zilan went to the storage room of the book collection and rummaged through it, and found the four books and five classics, which were still bought and read when he had free time, and he didn't lose them.
It's a pity that it's still incomplete.,It seems that you can copy the book in the future.,Copy it and take it to the space to review.。
Zilan picked some young leaves and prepared to dry them, and then made a little tea by herself to familiarize herself with the memory, otherwise they would all be forgotten.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't do well, she has the right to exercise her skills, she has been studying with her master for several years, and she goes to the master to practice for a while every spring.
She has the best black tea skills, probably because she likes to drink black tea, and she has collected the most varieties of black tea.
I found some tea leaves in the warehouse that I used to practice my hands for, and I didn't do it very well, so I just found some cloth and sewed a pillow.
I was a little tired after working for a while, and I memorized the book for a while, and then I fell asleep, and before going to bed, I thought that I should find some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to start practicing words in the space.
Zilan woke up early the next morning, and today she was going out with Song Zhengtian, and she had to visit the Lin family to thank her first, and then go to Song's house to visit her uncle and grandmother.
"Muxiang, did you bring my gift? Don't forget that I want to bring the incense cones with the clothes and the incense sticks of the potpourri, which I promised my sisters to give them. ”
Zilan specially admonished that the last time I went to the Song family, I had a good impression, my brothers and sisters took good care of her, and gave her several enlightenment books, as well as purse handkerchiefs and other things, she wanted to give people a gift in return.
"I can't forget, you told them all several times yesterday, everyone is indispensable, and I also brought a few more things, so that no one will score."
Mu Xiang is seven years old, and she is also a third-class maid who has only served in front of the Yang family in the past two years, and now she is with Zilan.
"Miss, what are you wearing today?"
Mu Xiang took three pieces of clothes out and smoked them with a smoker cage, and the clothes would be contaminated with a faint aroma.
Zilan turned her head and glanced at it, and pointed to the azure high-waisted skirt, "This skirt, the color is refreshing and neat." ”
"Okay."
Mu Xiang took the clothes and changed them for her, Hongxia combed her hair, tied her hair with a ribbon, the color was bright and beautiful, and it looked cute.
After dressing up, Zilan started to eat, and today I made steamed buns and fritters for breakfast, as well as a few dim sums, bird's nest porridge, etc.
Zilan ate a bowl of black rice porridge, and a few buns and a few side dishes were full.
"Sister, how long will you come back?"
Shuhui asked, taking Zilan's hand.
"I might have to come back in the afternoon, when I give you some fun and delicious food, okay?"
Zilan smiled at her.
"Okay."
"You come with me to your godmother's house as a guest today, and we won't be back until the afternoon."
Ma is going to be a guest at his best friend's house today and take his daughter to play.
"Really, great, I'm going to hang out too."
Shuhui suddenly jumped three feet high with joy.
"Sister Hui, you have fun, I'll come back and bring you something fun, you tell me if their house is fun, what have you played?"
Zilan coaxed Shuhui.
"Well, I'll come back and tell you."
Shuhui nodded seriously, her eyes like black grapes, bright and moving.
The two of them only said a few words and went out separately, Song Zhengtian took the brother and sister to take the carriage, and the Yang family didn't go today, picking up the gifts brought back by her husband at home, and it made sense to quickly pack them up and send them everywhere.
I went to Lin's house to visit first, and it happened that the old lady, Mrs. Lin and Lin Xi were there.
Everyone sat down to speak after each salute.
Lin Xi ran over happily, "Stinky girl, why haven't you come to see me for a long time." ”
"I'm going to school, didn't I give you a gift, you are the only one, and my brother doesn't have it."
Zilan tilted her head and sold cuteness to him.
Lin Xi suddenly grinned happily, "Really, it's pretty much the same." Did you use the spices I gave you? ”
"Not yet, my mother won't let me touch the fire, saying that I'm still a little useless, and I'll let me make my own fragrance when I'm older."
"Oh, will you make a perfume and give me some too?"
Lin Xi opened his mouth with anticipation, his eyes bright and bright.
"Okay, I'll give you my own incense when the time comes, I didn't make it myself today, but there is a hair cream made by my maid.
I used my hair jet black and smooth, and I specially brought some for you. This incense is made by my mother's own hand, hanging in front of the bookcase, it has the effect of refreshing and refreshing, and it is the most suitable for reading. ”
Zilan took two small mahogany boxes and handed them to him.
Lin Xi opened it and took a look, sniffed it curiously, and nodded incessantly, "It smells so good, sister, let's go play." ”
Zilan glanced at Song Zhengtian, he patted her on the head, "Go play with your brother, don't make trouble, Brother Yan, you go too, look at your sister, don't run around." ”
"Yes."
Brother Yan stood up very steadily and saluted everyone present, and then left the main courtyard with the two of them.
Lin Xi walked ahead like a little bully, "Let's go, I'll take you to my garden, my family has planted a lot of tweed." ”
"How many flowers are there, your home is very beautiful."
Zilan praised her face very much, this mansion is old at first glance, the trees are tall and stout, and the flowers are also very well cultivated.
"I don't know how many there are, but there are quite a few varieties that are real, hehe!"
Lin Xi smiled.
"Do you like the dagger my grandfather gave you? That dagger sealed the throat when it saw blood, it was obtained by my grandfather in his early years, it was very powerful, and I couldn't afford such a heavy gift, so I asked my grandfather to help me return it. ”
Zilan flashed her big bright and smart eyes, and asked Lin Xi for credit.
