Chapter 61: Up the Knife Mountain, Down to the Sea of Fire
"Tiantian, do you know where the Xiao family is from?" After Mrs. Tang left the Xiao family, she asked, even if Mrs. Xiao had been smiling with her previous conversations, she still gave people a sense of majesty.
Mrs. Tang can be regarded as having seen the world, when she went to Fucheng before, even the wife of the prefect of Hongdu had seen it, but the sense of oppression given to her by the prefect's wife was not as good as that of Mrs. Xiao.
"Shengjing, right?" Tang Tian said uncertainly: "Mother, did you say that the gift we prepared was too light?" ”
"Silly girl, this life-saving grace, you keep it in your heart, and you will have a chance to pay it back in the future." Mrs. Tang looked at Tang Tian earnestly, she only had such a girl, she was a little more delicate, she said: "This gift is just to express our gratitude." ”
"Oh." Tang Tian nodded as if he didn't understand.
……
"Grandmother, I was wrong." Xiao Jiuyue obediently admitted her mistake.
Old Madam Xiao twisted the Buddha beads and snorted softly: "My wife is useless." ”
"Grandmother, didn't I tell you because I was afraid that you would worry?" Xiao Jiuyue squatted in front of Old Madam Xiao, raised her head, looked at her with admiration in her eyes, and said seriously: "Grandmother is a bright light that leads the Xiao family to move forward in the dark, if there is no grandmother, we will have to lose our way." ”
Old Madam Xiao listened to her words, almost didn't laugh, and pointed out a bright light, this girl's mouth is stained with honey?
Old Madam Xiao put on a straight face and asked, "What's the injury?" ”
"Arms." Xiao Jiuyue pointed to her arm obediently, and she replied: "Grandmother, it's really not as exaggerated as Tian Tian said, it's just a small mouth." ”
"A small opening, worth bringing so many gifts back and forth?" Old Madam Xiao raised her hand and poked her forehead lightly, she took her hand and motioned for her to sit down next to her: "Yue'er, grandmother only hopes that you are well, but she doesn't want you to fight with your life!" ”
"Grandmother, it's all for the Xiao family." Xiao Jiuyue looked like she couldn't hide anything from her grandmother, she said with a smile: "Tian Tian is just like the little girl next door, I can't watch Tian Tian get hurt, right?" I just hurt a small wound, and if I hadn't pulled her away at that time, she might have lost her life. ”
"Doesn't grandmother often say that saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter?" Xiao Jiuyue's words were set in one set, which made Mrs. Xiao happy.
Old Madam Xiao looked at her and said, "The weather is getting colder and colder, don't go out, take care of your injuries." ”
"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue agreed happily, and Mrs. Xiao looked at her suspiciously, as if to say, are you so well-behaved?
"Grandmother." Xiao Jiuyue smiled and spread her hands: "Grandmother, I'm waiting to go to the county to buy some New Year's goods a year ago, right from the head office?" ”
"Yes." Old Madam Xiao confirmed that she really wouldn't go out again, so she was relieved.
In the afternoon, Aunt He came.
"Miss Xiao, I am willing to work in the workshop." Aunt He saluted Xiao Jiuyue.
Xiao Jiuyue saw Aunt He, dressed in washed white clothes, which looked extraordinarily light, but those eyes were a little brighter than the first time, and she nodded approvingly: "Then from Ming'er, you will go to the workshop to be responsible for purchasing oranges, how to make canned oranges, I will also teach you." ”
"As for He Lian, when you go to the workshop in the morning, send He Lian to the mansion, and I will have someone pick it up and give He Lian a room, so that she can recuperate in peace." Xiao Jiuyue directly solved Aunt He's worries.
"Thank you, Miss Xiao." Aunt He was relieved, Xiao Jiuyue signaled Lianxin to take Aunt He to see He Lian's room, the south-facing room, although it was not big, but the warm sunlight sprinkled into the room, and outside the window, there were some flowers and plants transplanted in the yard.
Aunt He was all dissatisfied, and the words of gratitude, that was one sentence after another, not to mention collecting oranges for Xiao Jiuyue and taking care of the workshop, that was to wait for Xiao Jiuyue to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire.
"Sister." Xiao Jiayuan was helped to the house by Ji Fu, looking at the piano on the piano case, Xiao Jiayuan held the "Three Character Classic" in his hand and said: "Sister, I have memorized the Three Character Sutra backwards. ”
"Listen to it on your back." Xiao Jiuyue took the book and motioned to Xiao Jiayuan to memorize it, his crisp voice was very fluent, and after reciting the whole article, Xiao Jiayuan: "Sister, then I will learn "Disciple Rules" tomorrow." ”
"An hour's piano, and then read a book after practicing." Xiao Jiuyue saw through Xiao Jiayuan's careful thinking at a glance, Xiao Jiuyue's kung fu by teaching the piano is equivalent to practicing the piano with one hand.
After an hour of practice, Xiao Jiuyue asked Lianxin to take out the finished orange candy, which was like a jelly-like orange candy, sprinkled with a layer of powdered sugar, sour and sweet, Xiao Jiayuan's eyes narrowed when he ate it.
"Ming'er, there is a jujube flower cake." Xiao Jiuyue's voice fell, and Xiao Jiayuan immediately said: "Sister, I'll come to you again tomorrow." ”
Xiao Jiuyue looked at him happily returning to the house, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head, in terms of reading, he has a good talent, and he teaches words and learns quickly, but his temperament is too impatient and impulsive, so he has to sharpen it well.
"Miss." Mr. Jin came back in the dead of night and said: "I have already found out about yesterday's assassination, Gan Zongyong has taken a fancy to Miss Tang, so he planned yesterday's assassination and wants to be a hero to save the United States." ”
"Does the Tang family know about this news?" Xiao Jiuyue put down her pen and was used to writing and meditating every day, which would hurt her hand, but it couldn't stop her enthusiasm for writing.
"It should ...... I don't know. Manager Jin said uncertainly, and said: "I found someone directly along Gan Zongyong, the Tang family, I shouldn't have found it." ”
Xiao Jiuyue looked at Mr. Jin: "Then think about it and reveal the news to the second young master of the Tang family, Tang Jing." ”
"Yes." Manager Jin answered, and after going out, he immediately called his son Jin Wen over.
When Jin Wen heard this, he asked suspiciously: "Dad, shouldn't you tell Master Tang?" How do you tell the second young master Tang Jing? ”
"The eldest lady has her own motives when she orders this." Manager Jin patted Jin Wen on the shoulder and said, "If it was in the past, you would not have had a chance to follow the eldest lady." ”
"Xiaowen, remember one sentence and do it obediently!" Mr. Jin specially called Jin Wu over and gave him a good advice, he felt that the eldest lady would definitely be extraordinary in the future!
In the house, Xiao Jiuyue didn't know what Mr. Jin thought, she was lying on the bed combing some details, He Changqing was bold, and he had quietly sneaked to the Gan family, and the Gan family's affairs were dealt with and the worries were solved.
The orange workshop was built, and the people in the village had an additional source of income, and the Xiao family could also profit from it, as well as thirty percent of the profit of the candy factory, as long as Tang Tian operated well, it was a hen that would lay golden eggs.
I don't know how the Xiao family, who was exiled in Lingnan, has to think of a plan to send another batch of cotton clothes, medicinal materials and silver over, otherwise, how to survive this cold winter?
