Chapter 228: The Return
After an hour, they changed five places in a row, Sun Feng and the others harvested more than 300 pearl mussels again, and Xu Qingyan secretly collected nearly 40 mussels.
After getting these, it was not too early, and several people discussed the return trip.
On the way back, Xu Qingyan helped Sun Qing and them open mussels together, and the pearls that came out in the end were eleven catties.
Excluding Xu Qingyan's private picking, the two days on the bright side added up, and a total of eighteen catties of pearls were picked.
Xu Qingyan got half of the nine catties, and the other nine catties, except for a few good Sun family members, the rest were bought by her for five hundred taels of silver.
And Xu Qingyan herself secretly collected more than 50 pearls with a diameter of half a centimeter, and about two catties of small pearls.
After lunch at Sun's house, Xu Qingyan and his party took their leave.
Because he had to bring back a few hundred catties of fish, a carriage naturally couldn't fit it, so Xu Qingyan asked Li Bo to take Zelan to Jiangxin City to buy a carriage the afternoon before.
So today, the fish are loaded with a cart, and the people are in a cart, and the extra carriage is naturally driven by Zelan.
The Sun family stood on the official road and watched them go away, until their carriage disappeared from sight, and a few people walked back.
Although they only spent a few days with Xu Qingyan, they were deeply impressed, and when she left, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little lost in their hearts.
If he says goodbye today, he doesn't know if he will have a chance to see him again.
Probably not!
She is a girl from a rich and noble family, they are just ordinary riverside fishermen, and their lives should never intersect again.
When the carriage passed through Jiangxin City, Xu Qingyan asked the carriage to go to a store specializing in bottles and cans, and then went in and bought thousands of rouge boxes and hundreds of bottles at one time.
Her generous behavior stunned the shopkeeper and his guys, and so many rouge boxes directly emptied the inventory in the shop.
However, the two came back to their senses and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
After buying all the things, there was no further delay, and as soon as the carriage left the city, it galloped towards the capital.
A moment before the sun sank into the horizon, Xu Qingyan and his group finally arrived at Taoshan.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Steward Ning, who saw them coming back, breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't see them come back yesterday, and he kept carrying this heart, for fear that something would happen to them in an affair.
Although Xu Qingyan is not his master, she is a guest of the Protector's Mansion, and she is from another courtyard, if something really happens, he, the manager of the other courtyard, will naturally have to eat and hang up.
He originally planned that if they hadn't returned today, he would go to the capital early tomorrow morning to report the news.
Now that they're back, they can make one less trip.
After dinner, Xu Qingyan asked Lingxian and Zelan to rest by themselves.
She went back to the room alone, closed the door, took out the newly picked six catties of small pearls from the baggage, and then showed her aura, crushed the pearls into powder, and rushed to make peach blossom beauty cream overnight.
Juice the two bags of petals you picked from the previous days, mix them with honey and pearl powder in proportion, then drip them into her exclusive recipe and stir well.
After the prepared peach blossom beauty cream was packed into boxes, a total of 150 bottles were obtained, which cost one and a half catties of pearl powder and three taels of honey.
Now that it's packed, it's time to mark it.
After Xu Qingyan pondered for a while, with a wave of her hand, two delicate peach blossoms were instantly revealed on the originally bright white porcelain box.
The peach blossoms are carved so realistically that even the dew drops on the petals are pure and transparent.
She raised her hand again, and when her sleeves moved slightly, the box that was originally on was all turned over and the bottom of the box was facing up, and after a breath, the bottom of the bottle was marked with the words "Half Lotus Pavilion" by her.
By the time this was done, it was pitch black outside.
Xu Qingyan opened the door, looked up, and saw the dark night sky, with no light in sight, Xu Qingyan had a thought in her heart.
Counting the days, today is already the eighth day, and the flowering period is about to end, and the peach blossoms in the peach forest have withered.
Xu Qingyan turned around and walked into the kitchen, and saw a large wooden bucket in the east corner, Xu Qingyan walked over and moved the rice grain inside to the empty iron pot on the side.
Then cast a spell on the rice bucket, and the wooden barrel suddenly lit up, and the rice ash inside disappeared completely.
Xu Qingyan flew over the peach forest with an empty bucket, but when she saw her hands linked, the peach blossoms floated out of the branches and flew straight towards her.
Xu Qingyan's wrist flipped repeatedly, and a large area of peach blossoms was formed into flower balls by her in the air, and then directly crushed the juice, and after a while, the pale pink flower juice all dripped into the wooden barrel.
When the aura in her body was consumed in the air, the peach blossoms in the peach forest had already been harvested by her, and Xu Qingyan did not plan to move the remaining one.
Carrying half a bucket of peach blossom juice, Xu Qingyan jumped over the courtyard wall and quietly went back to the room.
The flower juice was crushed, and Xu Qingyan didn't want to sleep anything, so she mixed half a bucket of flower juice into beauty cream and peach blossom dew overnight.
After it was done, it was divided and marked, and it was not until midnight that everything was ready.
Looking at the stacked bottles and cans, the corners of Xu Qingyan's mouth curved, these things should be no problem for a year.
After putting the prepared peach cream and fragrance into the baggage, Xu Qingyan started to meditate cross-legged to restore her spiritual power.
I don't know when, the sound of rain outside the window came into my ears.
The next day, the nobles who were still staying in Peach Mountain suddenly found that in just one night, all the peach blossoms in the peach forest had withered, and only the empty branches stretched in the air.
Looking at the wet ground, the nobles didn't think much about it.
Originally, the flowering period was about to end, and even the night rain, it was reasonable to end early, Zuo was just a matter of returning a day earlier, and immediately ordered the girls to pack up the cage and go home.
After making the peach blossom paste, Xu Qingyan naturally didn't want to stay here anymore, so she took the two immortals back to the capital in a carriage early the next morning.
Back in Ranyuan, Xu Qingyan asked Lingxian and Zelan to go to Guogong Mansion and Dingyuan Mansion respectively to send ten catties of fish meat.
Seeing the two girls leading the order, Xu Qingyan thought of Jia Nianwei, whom she had met for the first time in Taoshan, and thought of what she promised her, so she hurriedly took ten catties of fish meat to Jiafu.
At this time, in Jia's mansion, Jia Nianwei was sitting on the edge of the bed, and her maid Huan Ling'er was rubbing her knees with medicinal wine.
"Sss
"Miss, you can't do it if you don't use force, your knee is swollen like this, it's hard to get good if you don't thrust hard." Ling'er replied.
Then he said angrily: "The old lady is really too ruthless, for a jar of honey, I just punished Miss Punish for kneeling on the bluestone ground for a few hours, this medicinal wine has been wiped for two days, and the redness and swelling and Yu Qing have not disappeared much!" “
Listening to Ling'er's indignant words, Jia Nianwei didn't have the slightest expression on her face, she only heard her say softly: "Grandmother doesn't like me, it's not the first time, I've long been used to it." Besides, although he suffered a lot of sins this time, he managed to save the jar of honey. “
Ling'er was puzzled when she heard this: "Didn't the county lord say that he would come to see a doctor for his wife, why did the young lady want to punish the old lady like this for honey." “
Jia Nianwei shook her head and chuckled: "Silly girl, it's a matter of illness, which can be said accurately in one sentence, the county lord only said to take a look first, so before the mother is not thorough, this jar of honey has to be saved no matter what." ”
Ling'er nodded when she heard this, and then said: "Miss, you said that so many days have passed, and it stands to reason that the county lord should also come back, is she .........?"
What she wanted to say was whether she didn't come, or forgot about it at all.
When Jia Nianwei heard this, she paused, and then said firmly: "No, since the county lord promised me, he will definitely come." “
She believes in her and is not the kind of person who does not keep her word.
At this time, in front of the Jia Mansion, Xu Qingyan was telling the guard that she wanted to see Jia Nianwei, the fourth lady in the house.
The little maid looked at her a few times and asked, "Which adult is from the house where the troublesome girl said goodbye?" The small ones are also easy to report. “
"You just said that Xu Qingyan, the lord of Le'an County, is visiting."
The little guy was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said respectfully: "It turned out to be the county lord of Le'an, please come in quickly, and the villain will go to report." With that, the man was already heading towards the backyard.
Then a maid came and led her into the flower hall to wait.
After a while, she heard footsteps outside the flower hall, Xu Qingyan turned her head to look, but the person who came was not Jia Nianwei she was looking for, but two girls she had never seen before.
