Xu Yin explained to him.

After hearing this, the village chief seemed to understand: "According to the girl's words, is it to let flowers and vegetables be planted in the house?" ”

Xu Yin: "...... Pretty much. ”

In ancient times, there was no plastic film, but it was the same as keeping it in the house.

It's just that the roof and walls can be replaced with straw curtains.

The village chief groaned and said, "I know where to build the greenhouse that the girl said. ”

He led Xu Yin to a dilapidated courtyard at the end of the village.

It was originally a nunnery, but when a fire broke out, the nuns in the nunnery fled to other places. Later, this place was bought by the ancestors of the Xu family.

The area of the entire nunnery is still very large, but it was burned by a fire that year, and only these ruins and ruins are left in front of you.

The villagers built houses and came here to pick up a lot of usable bricks.

There are also roof tiles that have not been burned, and they have been stripped away.

It can be said that except for a few rafter pillars that stuck to the large stones at the base of the wall, they were too heavy to pull out, and all the other usable ones were pulled away.

"The girl just said that there is no need for walls, and it is okay to weave some straw curtains and hang them up when the time comes? Is this the right place to be? ”

Xu Yin walked around the nunnery and found that the ground of the nunnery was all mud, not paved with bricks and stones, and there were weeds everywhere, indicating that things could be planted, and she immediately made a decision:

"I think it's a good fit, so I'm here. I'll have to bother you to hire a few people to clean up this place. After the New Year, the soil is loosened, fertilizer is applied, and the seeds are sown as on the mountain, so as to see how the flowers and plants grow. If it works, hang a straw curtain next winter, and it can be used as a greenhouse. ”

The village chief responded one by one.

Unexpectedly, before returning home, the matter of the greenhouse was completed, Xu Yin was happy, and gave another sum of silver, asking Xu Kui to go to the town to buy a pork and come back, and invite the villagers to have a sumptuous Laba Festival.

This year, because the Xu Mansion is still in the filial piety period, it is not possible to put up lights, and it is not like in previous years, when the door of the mansion was opened and gifts were given.

This year, the gate of Xufu is closed, and the entrance and exit are only sideways, which is extremely low-key.

Before Laba, the old housekeeper led a group of people in the house to clean the courtyards, the lawn of the flower beds was repaired without a trace of weeds, and the furniture was polished and shiny.

Just waiting for the master of the house, the girl, to return home.

Xu Yin's arrival made the old housekeeper cry.

"Girl, you've worked hard for half a year!"

Xu Yin replied: "I'm not hard, you've worked hard!" ”

Xu Kui carried his luggage down from the carriage and said smoothly: "Dad, don't you have clairvoyance?" I didn't even tell you, how did you know that the girl has been planting flowers and mixing fragrances for the past six months, not to mention how hard she has worked......"

The old housekeeper heard in a fog: "What kind of flowers?" What perfumery? ”

Xu Kui: "...... What, you don't know? ”

Glancing at the girl, he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said.

Xu Yin was amused by the conversation between the father and son: "Okay, let's go in and talk." What does the pestle look like at the door. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Go in and say, go in and say! ”

After sitting down, Xu Yin sipped the fragrant tea and talked to the housekeeper about her ...... in the past six months Uh, great achievements?

The housekeeper was dumbfounded after hearing this: "......"

"Poof......" Xu Kui couldn't hold back, so he couldn't laugh out loud.

Old housekeeper: "......" stinky boy, I'll clean you up when I turn around!

Thinking about it in hindsight, the girl can come out of the grief of losing her parents, no longer wash her face with tears, just be busy, but it is distressing to be emaciated. If the lord and the lady are still alive, how can the girl be willing to work so hard.

So, during the Chinese New Year, the old housekeeper ran to the big kitchen every day, instructed a few cooks to turn around, and pondered delicious food for his own girls.

If you fast and don't get fishy meat, you can only pay more attention to vegetarian food and snacks.

A few days after Xu Yin returned home, snowflakes fell inside and outside Los Angeles.

She had nothing to do, so she was too lazy to read the travelogues and miscellaneous conversations written by some literati and writers of this dynasty on the soft couch.

On the kitchen side, I saw the heavens to send her the dishes and snacks that the chef had newly thought out.

Within a few days, she noticed that her double chin was coming out.

“……”

emmm…… There are too many pasta pasta snacks with vegetarian oil.

Vegetarianism can make people fat, and I'm afraid no one will believe it in modern times.

However, the old housekeeper thinks that her little meat is fat.

"According to the old slave, the girl is going to smoke strips."

Fourteen-year-old girl, how normal it is to smoke strips, so she continued to stare at the chef to tinker with the dishes, using a few vegetables and pasta dishes in winter to enhance Xu Yin's nutrition.

Xu Yin: "......"

After the New Year, the snow on the ground finally melted, and she decided to go back to Chashan Villa.

If you are lazy in eating, drinking, and drinking in the house, you will be fat into a ball.

The old butler was worried that she was working too hard.

I didn't know that she had planted spice flowers in Chai Mountain, and built a fragrance workshop in Xujia Village, and now she plans to build a greenhouse, knowing that she will be able to sit still in the future.

You can't let the girl be busy before and after, and he will enjoy the blessings in the house alone, right? He planned to go to the other courtyard to serve, and if there was anything that needed the girl to come forward in the future, he would come.

When Xu Yin heard this, she stumbled under her feet: "Don't, don't!" With you always sitting in the house, I can keep filial piety in the other courtyard with peace of mind! What if you go to another courtyard with me, and no one in the house cares about it, and you rebel en masse? ”

“……”

It is impossible to rebel, but no one is watching, and it is possible to work lazily.

The old butler hesitated about this.

Xu Yin spared no effort to continue lobbying: "You see that I stay in the courtyard most of the time, and if there is something, let Xu Kui run errands, and I can't be tired." It's you, you're old, the mountain is high and the road is steep, I really don't worry about you going......"

Joke! If the housekeeper goes, urging the cook to cook three meals for her every day, plus two snacks in the afternoon and a supper in the evening, can she still be a slender beauty? This is not the Tang Dynasty where fat is beautiful.

In the end, the old housekeeper was persuaded to stay in the house by Xu Yin with affection, understanding and reasoning, and entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

With tears in his eyes, he watched the girl's carriage leave, and until he could no longer see it, he rolled up his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes and turned back into the house.

"Alas, the girl is kind-hearted! Be sympathetic to the old slave, don't let the old slave run around when he is old, and let the old slave stay in the house to enjoy the ....... ”

Sikong crackled and beat the abacus hand slightly, and said in his heart: The fool can see that she is afraid of you going. As for why you're afraid, don't you have any points in your heart? Feed people to a head...... Ahem, anyway, I'm fat, at least a little fatter than when I first returned home a year ago.

But the truth inevitably hit the old butler, so he better be a kind person and continue to shut up.

Sikong continued to make calculations and accounts.

When the old housekeeper saw that he didn't talk and was talking to himself that he was bored, he didn't say anything, and got up and planned to walk around the mansion to see where it needed to be repaired, especially the girl's courtyard, and if there was a need to find a craftsman in time.

When I went out, I asked casually: "Sikong, have you offended people and suffered a great sin because you talked too much in the past, and now you are like a gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth?" ”

Sikong: "......"

He endures!
