Chapter 11 Gifts
Lin Xi beckoned to Zilan and gave her a mahogany gold box, "Stinky girl, this is for you, come and don't be rude, wait for you to make a better incense, remember to keep it for me." ”
After saying that, they got into the carriage, and the Lin family left after saying goodbye to them.
Ziyan's mother and son sat in the carriage, and he curiously picked up the box and asked, "Sister, open it and take a look, what is it?" ”
Zilan opened it and was taken aback, and subconsciously blurted out, "Dragon brain, agarwood, good golden incense." ”
The box is divided into two layers, and the upper layer is a large piece of white borneol, which is a top-quality borneol, which is rare. The lower layer is agarwood, there is the best inverted shelf, the texture is harder, the oil is rich, the second grade is water agarwood, the lower layer of the grid put several pieces, the first product has three pieces.
The agarwood of the first grade is richer than the second grade of water sinking oil, and the water sinking oil is not as good as the first product, and the distinction is also obvious, the second product is black and brown, and there is also a darker blue-yellow;
The first product is a yellowish yellow species with a light black and slightly earthy yellow color.
Yang picked up a piece and sniffed it, nodding slightly, "It smells mellow and sweet from afar, and it tastes like Qi Nan; Recently, it is thick and slightly bitter. This water is deep and clear, but it is mixed with sweet and bitter when it is smelled closely, and it is of high quality, it is a product of agarwood, which is really good. ”
Zilan tied the bag containing the dragon's brain tightly, then placed the things in two boxes separately to avoid smell, and handed it to Yang, "Mother, you can keep it." ”
"This is given to you by someone, how can I take it, things are really valuable, but our family is not unaffordable, your grandfather knows that I love perfumery, he has been in the northwest for many years, it is the most convenient to buy spices, and every year he will send me a lot of spices, including very expensive.
You keep it for yourself, when you are a little older and can make your own perfume, you can use it yourself, and if you do it, you will have the opportunity to send him a few flavors of incense. ”
Although Yang is a concubine, her father is pro, and she is sensible and clever, and she has an excellent relationship with her mother and brother, and she can carry it clearly, and her father and brother love her very much.
There is no shortage of money, and after getting married, the financial management skills are good enough, and the hands are also very rich, and this small life is very happy.
"Yes, thank you, mother, I'll keep it and try it myself."
Zilan smiled with satisfaction, although the things are very good, but she really has no shortage of them, there is this kind of agarwood tree in the space, all kinds of strange flowers and fragrant trees are specially looking for and planted in the space, as a spice reserve, but with the things he sent, the way is more open.
"When you are a little older, just tell your mother what spices you need, my mother asked my grandfather to help you buy them, there are no spices that you can't buy, and your father will also collect them for me all year round in the harbor."
Yang smiled confidently.
Although Zilan didn't know how much money her father and mother had, she knew that she must be rich because of Yang's appearance that she didn't care about at all, and the price of spices was extremely high because of the relationship between the road and the transportation origin, and such a dipterocarp was very expensive, but Yang also knew that she was very confident.
"Okay, thank you."
"Silly girl, if you have talent, you have to study hard, mother can wait for you to take over my mantle."
Yang touched his daughter's head, and a look of love flashed in his eyes.
The carriage went all the way to the Yang family, and the slaves and maids of the Yang family came to pick them up, and it had already been arranged.
After entering the house, Yang led his daughter and asked the grandmother in front of him, "Mama Xu, is my father and mother okay?" Can I receive the herbs and other items I sent? Brother and sister-in-law are okay, is my brother going well in the court?
I brought some gifts for my nephews, as well as books and notes, and I don't know if they can use them. ”
Mama Xu immediately smiled and said: "Miss Tuo, everything is fine at home, things have already been received, the old lady also said that you still make the incense that wins her heart, the house at home is ready, or the yard where you lived in the boudoir, everything is as usual." ”
"It's still my mother who loves me, why didn't my niece live in my yard, it's a pity to leave it in vain. I can come back a few times a year. I'm tired of working for everyone, Hongxia. ”
Before the Yang family entered the inner courtyard, he immediately made a look, and asked the big girl to reward Xu Mama and other minions, so as not to be put on small shoes.
"Thank you, Miss, let's go to the house, the old lady knows that you are back, and she has been waiting for it early, and she has asked a few times early in the morning."
Mama Xu asked the big girl below to take the reward and share it, which was the reward of the eldest lady.
"I miss my parents and brothers too."
Yang had a sparkling look in his eyes, and he had been away from home for many years.
They walked all the way through the garden and around the verandah, and came to the main hall, where a beautiful sister dressed in silk and satin opened the curtain for them, and laughed loudly: "Welcome the eldest lady back to the house, old lady, the young master and the young lady have also arrived." ”
Lift the curtain and let them in, with a respectful and polite attitude, a welcoming smile on your face, and rules everywhere that make people happy.
When you enter the house, you will see a very spacious hall, with begonia carved rosewood circle-backed chairs on the left and right, two identical circle-backed chairs and a sandalwood table in the center, and a famous landscape map hanging above the head.
On the right, there is a pineapple screen made of maid embroidery, and it hurts to sit, and behind it is a warm pavilion.
In the middle sat an old couple, the old lady on the right was wearing an indigo swastika Wen Bafu Xiang skirt, only using hosta hairpins, with a majestic bearing and excellent facial maintenance.
On the left sat an old man, tall and energetic, who looked like he was about forty years old, but forty years old was already an old man in this era. Dressed in a robe, he looks majestic, and he has the evil aura that only a soldier has, and his appearance of not being angry and self-righteous is a little scary.
A futon was placed on the ground, Yang let go of Zilan's hand, took a few steps forward and knelt on the futon, "My daughter is not filial, please be happy to my father and mother." ”
"Good boy, get up, let me see you, in the blink of an eye you will be at home for almost ten years."
"Mother, my daughter misses you too."
Yang cried loudly, less than a year after getting married, he received Song Zhengtian's order to go out, and they went to the outward for nine years, three years for one period, and most of them returned in three phases for stability.
During this period, two children were born, Ziyan and Zilan.
"Is this your one of your children?"
The old lady saw the two children standing behind them in a very regular manner, wiped her tears and smiled at them.
Ziyan and Zilan looked at each other and stepped forward to kneel on the futon together, kowtowing and saluting, "Ziyan to my grandfather and grandmother, I wish my grandfather and grandmother good health and all the best." ”
"Zilan greets my grandfather and grandmother, and I wish my grandfather and grandmother good health and all the best."
"Okay, get up, let me see."
Only then did the old man speak, with a more kind look in his eyes, and waved to their brother and sister with a smile.
