"Where is Grandma Shen placed?" Li Xiaoqi didn't see Mrs. Shen, turned her head to look at Mama Zhang and asked with a smile, Mama Zhang hurriedly took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Mama just arrived the day before yesterday, and the long man who sent Mama Shen back said, Mama is old, her health is not good, she fell ill halfway through, she didn't dare to catch up or stop on the road, and finally rushed all the way to Kaiping Mansion to send it to us, I quickly asked people to invite the doctor to come and check the pulse, the doctor said that he was old, and he was anxious and overworked, he just needed to recuperate, but it was no big deal, and now he is placed in the backyard, Living with me and Mama Lu, I let the cherries and red oranges take turns to take care of them every day. Li Xiaoqi listened carefully, nodded with a smile and thanked: "Mama Zhang bothered." ”

"Don't be so polite, girl, don't dare to be! I got the letter from the girl just now, so I sent Hongju over to see if Mama Shen was awake, and if she woke up, I would help her come over to see the girl. Mama Zhang hurriedly smiled and rubbed, and Li Xiaoqi waved her hand: "Mama Shen is sick, don't disturb her, I'll go over to see her later." ”

"The girl's heart for people is really ?????? People don't know what to say. Mama Zhang said with emotion,

"Doesn't the girl treat us like this?" Wisteria smiled and took Mama Zhang's words, Danyue and Begonia hurriedly echoed, Li Xiaoqi glanced at Wisteria, the group said and smiled and entered the half-acre garden, Danyue and Begonia let Luo Yan sit down, Wisteria was busy making tea for Li Xiaoyi, Qingcheng and a few little girls hurriedly made tea for Luoyan and Danyue and others, Mama Zhang saw Li Xiaoqi drink a cup of tea, breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and asked with a smile: "The girl is back, I asked people to go to Mrs. Fan, Grandma Zhang, Grandma Sun/Grandma to report there?" There are also the seven ladies of the Shui family, Shui Tongda/Grandma, who also sent people over to ask several times, saying that if the girl came back, she would quickly send someone to tell them. ”

"Well, Danyue and Begonia are working harder, take out the things we brought to these places quickly, and let Mama Zhang arrange for someone to send them over, as well as Jiang Shuncai's daughter-in-law, and there are also things in the weaving workshop, send people to send them over one by one." Li Xiaoqi thought about it and commanded, Wisteria heard Mingwan, opened his mouth and was about to speak, and glanced at Mama Zhang, and saw that her eyes were directed at him for a moment, and he hurriedly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, too, it is not appropriate to mention this kind of disappointing thing at this time.

Luo Yan also hurriedly stood up, followed Danyue and Begonia out, Mama Zhang and Mama Lu went out with a few little girls, picking boxes and cages in the yard, opening boxes, packing gifts, distributing gifts, and then sending people to send them over, very busy.

Li Xiaoqi turned into the back clean room, soaked comfortably in the hot water for half an hour before crawling out lazily, spread out his hands and feet and lay on the couch, dried his hair by wisteria, and was about to fall asleep in a daze, when a sound of footsteps came from outside, Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes all of a sudden, and he didn't need to look to know that this must be Sister Zhang.

Sister Zhang was dressed in a bright blue dress, and she didn't walk around, and strode straight into the house from the yard with her skirt in her two hands. What about Little Five? Asleep or not? ”

"I was woken up by you when I fell asleep." Li Xiaoqi got up lazily, spread her hair, and replied with a smile: "The third sister-in-law sits down, I haven't seen you for several months, and the third sister-in-law hasn't seen fat!" ”

"Fat what fat? I want to be fat, busy from morning to night! How can you get fat?! How did Xiao Wu lose weight like this? There are no more than four taels of flesh on this body! Look! What didn't Liang Di eat? How to lose weight like this! Sister Zhang reached out and touched Li Xiaoyi's thin arm, her eyes widened and she screamed loudly, Li Xiaoyi's eyebrows were raised and lowered by her call, and she hurriedly straightened up and pulled her to sit down: "Third sister-in-law sit down first, sit down and talk, wisteria, hurry up and pour tea for the third grandmother, and grandma/grandma!" Later, Mrs. Sun followed in angrily, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly moved to the side, let the two sit down, wisteria and green orange stepped forward to pour tea, and brought a few snacks over, Sister Zhang stared at the snacks on the plate for a long time, and then turned her head to look at Li Xiaoqi and said distressedly: "Look at you, how did you go out and lose weight like this?" Didn't you go out with the prince? Can't you eat well with the prince? Or maybe the food over there isn't to your taste? Then you should bring a letter back, I'll send something over, didn't you say that Begonia can cook? Let the begonias be made for you to eat! How can you be skinny like this!? ”

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm sick in the middle." Li Xiaoqi raised his hand and rubbed his temples, answered vaguely, and raised his chin at the dim sum dish to change the topic: "How is the third sister-in-law's dim sum shop going?" You can't take your eyes off the dim sum when you see it! Are you hungry or are you wondering about dim sum tricks? Mrs. Sun laughed out loud when she heard this, Li Xiaoqi turned her head and looked at Mrs. Sun carefully, her face was much more delicate and delicate, her eyes were quiet and soft with joy, although she was still so strong, she looked much more gentle and demure than when she was on the mountain, Li Xiaoqi looked up and down a few times and smiled: "Sister Sun is much more beautiful!" It can be seen that ironwood is considerate! Now I have a good relationship with the shopkeeper Sun, just one sentence: After Sister Sun got married, she was as beautiful as a pearl! Mrs. Sun's face was flushed by Li Xiaoyi's words, and Sister Zhang laughed heartily: "He dares to be inconsiderate, I will break his legs!" ”

Li Xiaoqi laughed out loud, leaning on the pillow, looking at the triumphant Sister Zhang and the reddened Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Sun pushed Sister Zhang, and she didn't know what to mumble in her mouth, Li Xiaoqi saw that Mrs. Sun was embarrassed and almost couldn't raise her head, so she changed the topic with a smile and helped her out: "How is Zhang Luo's third sister-in-law's dim sum shop?" ”

"What can I care about!" Sister Zhang kicked off her shoes, moved inside, pulled the skirt out from under her buttocks and carefully laid it out, sat cross-legged, and said with a picture ready to make a tirade: "Since yesterday, the silkworms in our village have just gone to sleep, I look fine, I only went back to the city last night, but coincidentally, you came back today, I said, my left eyelid has been jumping last night, it should be here!" This Kaiping Mansion is much colder than our Zhengcheng, put aside our Zhengcheng, April 15, the cocoon has also been collected! The same thing as you are saying is that it grows slowly! Tomorrow I have to go to the village to look at the upper cluster, raise a season of silkworms, just wait for this upper cluster to see the harvest in the next two days, I said, there is no little five/I don't know! This silkworm in Kaiping Mansion is really, slow to grow, but it's big! Alas, it was so long yesterday, fat, not to mention how gratifying! Li Xiaoqi shuddered lightly, she was most afraid of this kind of fat meat/insects, this eldest sister said it was the same as talking about children!

"By the way, look at me, forget the west! Brother Zhao took the master of reeling silk, arrived ten days early, and now, the stove is also supported, the pot is also supported, and the frame is also set up, just waiting to put away the cocoon reeling silk, speaking of which, Zhang Gouzi's heart and eyes turn the fastest, saying that this silk reeling master only reels a Zhuangzi's silk, that is too cost-effective, just afraid that the cocoon reeling will break the silk, ran for seven or eight days, and ran the weaving mill to pay a fixed fee for several villages, said Okay, the cocoon will become, this silk, let's reel it ourselves! In this way, I was afraid that the master would not be able to be busy alone, so I quickly found a few dexterous ones, and I was afraid that the master of silk reeling would not teach, who knew that I had never seen such a good master! Teach us, it's just a naughty nest, hand-in-hand about the exquisiteness of this pot, the exquisiteness of this water, and I am not afraid of the church apprentices, starving to death Master! I watched Erqing and a few of them follow this season, and they are designated to be able to learn eight ** nine, Xiao Wu is amazing, where did you find such a good master? Li Xiaoqi listened intently to Sister Zhang's tirade, and replied with a smile: "How can there be such a good master?" I made an agreement with him that in addition to the salary, if he could bring out an apprentice who was no worse than him, he would bring out one, one hundred taels of silver! ”

Sister Zhang and Mrs. Sun half-opened their mouths in shock, and Sister Zhang stretched out her fingers and shouted: "One hundred taels of silver!" All the spring cocoons in our village have been sold this season, and we can't earn a hundred taels of silver! You! Sister Zhang swallowed back the words 'loser', stretched her neck in a choked way, Li Xiaoqi picked up the cup, drank a few sips of tea, and looked at Sister Zhang for a while before laughing: "You want to say that I am a loser, right?" Look farther, don't be confined to this season and two seasons, one year or two, this is a long-term business, think about it, these people have learned the craft of silk reeling, and they can be heirlooms in the future, so they should be this hundred taels of silver for everyone to start a family, so think about it, or we take advantage! This is one, the second, there is good silk to weave good silk, Beiping Tianhan cocoon is good, plus the best silk reeling master, in order to have good silk, in order to weave good silk and satin, this way, the interest in the middle can be at least ten times. ”

Mrs. Sun stabbed Sister Zhang and whispered, "What Xiao Wu said is reasonable!" ”

"Well, there's more!" Li Xiaoqi seemed to think of something, smiled, looked at Sister Zhang and ordered: "You go to the village tomorrow and explain to everyone that anyone who has learned this silk reeling craft will be gone every month from July this year. Sister Zhang was stunned, turned her head to look at Mrs. Sun, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Isn't this okay?" If you say that you will pay the monthly money every month, you will be gone if you say no??????" Li Xiaoqi looked at Sister Zhang with a smile and said: "If you want to take the monthly silver, the annual harvest in the field, the income from silkworm raising, the income from silk reeling, and other income, I don't draw much, I don't draw 30% of each item, I can't bear all the losses." Sister Zhang blinked her eyes again and again, and said with an abacus in her heart and a smile: "Then I'll talk about it, depending on their own meaning, this month's money, in fact, is not much, and if it's gone, it's gone." ”
