Chapter 37: The Daughter's Heart

When he returned to Tingxue Garden and saw a few potted plants under the corridor that were blooming brightly, Jin Nanxue instructed Shang Lu: "You remember to pick two pots of marigolds under the corridor and put them on the carriage when the time comes, remember the two small pots on the side." ”

Shang Lu: "Yes, the slave remembers." ”

She asked Jiang Qi to buy some valuable and good things, and she would bring them all back to her mother's family tomorrow, as for the birthday gift to Wen Xuanbo's Mansion, she didn't have to worry about what the Hou Mansion was preparing for it.

These pots of marigolds are not rare flowers and plants, they are inconspicuous in the flower garden, and now that it is the flowering season, she will not attract the attention of others if she moves two pots.

On the day of going out, Jin Nanxue dressed up early, and last time the tailoring room sent two sets, one of which was embroidered with lotus lotus and green calyx, and he happened to wear this set today. Wear a begonia hairpin, choose a pair of red gold silk pearl earrings, and then bring the pair of white jade bracelets on the wrist, and take a group fan with a gauze embroidered lily pattern when you go out.

In the past, she didn't understand why ancient women went out, regardless of the four seasons, they liked to hold a group fan in their hands, but now they know that bringing a group fan is not to fan the wind, but the ancient society does not advocate women to appear in public, so bring a fan to cover the face, meet strangers, especially foreign men, with a delicate group fan shy answer to cover one or two, not only to preserve the reputation, but also to add a style, the so-called still hugging the pipa and half covering the face is about that.

Jin Nanxue went to Rongxi Hall first to greet Lian's family, but Lian's didn't ask her to enter the main hall at all, and directly asked Mama Jiang to come out and send her away with a few words.

Jin Nanxue couldn't wait for this, and returned to Tingxue Garden in a very good mood, Agarwood and Shang Lu had already watched the subordinates move the gifts to the carriage parked in the outer courtyard one by one, Shang Lu did not forget to let the little girl carry two pots of marigolds to the car, and the three of them packed up and went out.

This time back to her parents' house, Jin Nanxue brought agarwood and Shang Lu with her, the two girls grew up with her since childhood, and later married to the Hou Mansion, Jin Nanxue's return to her parents' house is also the same as going back to their own home for the two of them, sitting in the carriage, the three of them chattered happily all the way.

Approaching the streets of Jin Mansion, Jin Nanxue found a suitable place to ask Lao Jiang to stop the car, and the three of them bought a bunch of fresh pastries and delicacies, and hurried to Xizheng Street.

At this moment, the Jin family, including Jin Changqing, was already waiting anxiously. On the day of his mother's birthday, Jin Changqing, the concubine, naturally wanted to kowtow to the door to congratulate, so he took leave with the yamen early in the morning and waited for his daughter to come back at home with his family.

At first, he was still sitting in the upper room and waiting, but later he ran to the door to greet his wife An and his two sons after chattering, and couldn't help but go out with him.

"Dad, mother, brother, I'm back."

After Jin Nanxue got out of the car, she saluted Jin Changqing and An in a dignified manner, and the husband and wife stepped forward to help them up lovingly, and looked at them from top to bottom.

Compared with An's family, Jin Changqing hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, and at this moment, a big man couldn't help but have some hot eyes, and finally controlled his emotions, glanced at the carriage, and saw Agarwood and Shang Lu following behind, and couldn't help asking, "Why didn't Master Hou come back with him?" ”

Jin Nanxue explained: "Master Hou said that he was busy with official business today, and it was really difficult to ask his boss for leave, so he didn't follow, so wouldn't it be more comfortable for our family?" ”

Jin Changqing nodded and didn't say anything, as long as he could see his daughter, he would be content, so he didn't care if his son-in-law Jiang Qi would come to the birthday banquet, but he just asked casually.

Seeing that Agarwood and Shang Lu were busy directing their subordinates to get things from the carriage one by one, the two were happy and distressed, and they had to complain about their daughter.

Jin Nanxue knew that her parents felt sorry for her and were afraid that she would waste money before saying these words, so she didn't take it to heart at all, but stuffed the pastries and delicacies she had just bought into their arms.

When they returned to the house and opened all the gift boxes one by one, the family was so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time.

The things that Jin Nanxue brought back this time were too valuable, a large box full of high-quality silk brocade, two bottles of fine wine bamboo leaf green wine, and two boxes of first-class Pu'er tea, both of which were the best in tea wine.

Then he took out two sets of pen and ink inkstones, the pen and ink are all excellent lake pens and Hui ink, just look at the box used to hold this set of utensils can be seen to be very valuable;

These are all reasonable, the most valuable are the precious medicinal materials in a few boxes, there is a hundred-year-old ginseng, a box of Ganoderma lucidum, a box of superb blood swallows and other precious tonics, none of which their family can afford.

"Ayuki...... These things are too valuable, aren't they? Our family can't afford it, so you still take it back, so that your mother-in-law won't be happy and pick on you. ”

Jin Changqing frowned and said, such a valuable thing was something that their family had never received when their daughter first married into the Hou Mansion, and this time he brought back so much, he couldn't help but think about it.

"Yes, yes, you better take it back, we don't need it. Although the Hou Mansion has a big family, you need money for daily use and rewarding people anywhere, and you don't have much private money in your hands, so you have to learn to make careful calculations to live a good life, and you can't be hollowed out for us. ”

An Shi was also panicked, and hurriedly spoke.

When Bofu was not separated at the beginning, An's survived a few years under his mother-in-law, and he knew that it was not easy to be a daughter-in-law in a high-ranking family, let alone a daughter-in-law who was not looked down upon by her mother-in-law.

Jin Nanxue looked at her parents with a look of thinking about herself, and she only had warmth in her heart, and she said: "Father and mother, don't worry, these things have crossed the clear road in front of the Hou Ye and the old lady, without their nod, where can my daughter bring it back." ”

She didn't want to tell her father that she asked Jiang Qi to buy it on purpose, so she only said that it was clear to reassure them, and sure enough, the husband and wife were much more relieved to hear their daughter say this.

Without waiting for them to say more, Jin Nanxue pointed to these things and continued: "It's cold, I specially asked people to buy these poplin and brocade to make a few more winter clothes for my father and younger brother; I remember that my father likes to drink a few sips of wine on weekdays, and my mother likes to drink tea.

There are also these medicinal materials, the daughter has not been with her father for a long time, in case you have an uncomfortable daughter who doesn't know, these medicinal materials will be left for you to use to replenish your body. Medicinal herbs are not good for the medicinal effect after a long time, so you can use them if you can use them, and you are not allowed to save them!

By the way, the recipe I gave my mother last time, and those few recipes for medicinal diet, I don't know if my mother used it, what do you think? ”

Listening to their daughter's chattering questions, the husband and wife were even more pleased, and their daughter was still as filial and caring as before, always thinking about them.
