292, a leaf knows autumn
When Xiaoxiao met the Wen brothers and sisters in front of the Sicun Painting Club, she couldn't help but be attracted by Xizi's beauty today.
"Why did Yingyuan have time to visit the art fair today? I thought you were still busy with advertising and art matters!" Xizi rarely combed his bun, but today he loosely tied his ear-covered bun, which looked particularly gentle and shy. He also had no jewelry on his head, and only wore a string of glass beads on his forehead.
"I finally sorted out the manuscripts and just handed them over to the printing press for printing." Xiaoxiao, looking at Wen Zhi standing beside him, and I only felt that this person had few words today.
"Can you take a look at it together?" Xizi sent an invitation.
Wen Zhi? Then he came back to his senses and smiled and said, "Mr. Zui Mo's landscape is very good as a mountain man halfway."
Seeing that it was getting late, Xiaoxiao had to give up: "The autumn is coming tomorrow, and the autumn banquet is about to be held at home. I should go back to help now." As he said that, he said to Wen Zhi again: "Mr. Zui Mo is indeed a masterpiece. This time, the picture of the 'Goddess of the Sea' in the advertising and painting magazine was chosen by Mr. Zui Mo's works."
Wen Zhi? Hearing this, he asked Xizi directly: "Is uncle and aunt activated this time, and have you agreed to use your portrait?"
"I only use five-minute pictures," Xizi changed his tone, "Even people like Jiang Qiuyi who are about to be a bride are not concerned about these things. He actually asked his second brother to find Yingyuan to clear his relationship. He had to use her portrait!"
"Who asked the groom to come directly to my door?" Xiaoxiao smiled unconsciously. "It happened that Lao Xingzhai was willing to advertise gold jewelry, and the golden hairpin on your second sister-in-law's head also had its origin. Why don't I do it?"
Lao Xingzhai is a jewelry shop in Kyoto's time-honored brand, specializing in gold jewelry. Xiaoxiao's business team spent a lot of effort to discuss this customer, which was equivalent to publishing a special edition of Fengxiang and Zhou Damou's jewelry in a modern magazine. The advertising profit behind it is naturally considerable.
Besides, Jiang Qiuyi also invested a lot in order to show off. Her fiancé just went to talk to Xiaoxiao with a big silver note.
A model who doesn't have money has a good image and also comes with its own silver notes. It's such a good deal, so Xiaoxiao won't miss it.
Seeing that Xizi pouted about Jiang Qiuyi's affairs, she laughed and said, "You are the most important page, she is just the advertising page behind."
(Miss Xizi, the first place in the Golden List, did she occasionally send messages to a flash on the small radio, or was it obtained by her fiancé Wen Laoer who threw a deep water torpedo...incomparable.)
Xizi doesn't like to show off, but when everything involves her future second sister-in-law Jiang Qiuyi, Xizi is like a chicken blood, and she has to compete with the other party in everything.
Wen Zhi? He was not easy to express his opinions on such topics, so he asked Xiaoxiao, "What tree leaves should Yingyuan wear this autumn? Remember Lingtang is from Zhejiang, so he should use the leaves of the red stone-eyed tree?"
The stone-eyed tree is also the heather tree. Xiaoxiao didn't feel the good memory of Wen Zhi. I vaguely remember that I only mentioned that my mother's home was in Zhejiang once, but he remembered: "My father specially bought a vermilion-red heather tree, which is also beautiful in the yard at this time."
Speaking of the Beginning of Autumn, Xizi said like a child: "It's a pity that those red-leaf trees will not turn red until late autumn. The more the red leaves that have been frost will become more dazzling!" He shrugged and said, "Our family plans to use red banana leaves this time."
"I think the most beautiful red leaves are still red maple leaves," Xiaoxiao also felt very regretful that the maple leaves did not turn red at this time. "I plan to cut the red-heaven leaves into the shape of a pentagonal maple leaves and wear them on my head."
(Red Heather Tree says it’s embarrassing…)
Xizi suddenly said happily again: "The beginning of autumn tomorrow is the second hour of Si. After spending the festival with the elders, it should be fine in the afternoon! These days, the lotus picking boats are all coming and going on the Xingwen Lake. Can we buy lotus goods together?"
"Okay, let's call Ruicai!" Xiaoxiao nodded and said. In order to prepare for the rose banquet this year, no one was able to participate in the Lotus Watch Festival. The Beginning of Autumn is probably the last lotus event, so Xiaoxiao doesn't want to miss it.
"Rui Cai doesn't know what she is busy all day long, and she has never seen her figure after the rose banquet." Xizi shook the square fan in her hand, with the embroidered cold willow cicadas. "I didn't see anyone at the Xue family's zime banquet two days ago."
Xiaoxiao didn't feel frowning. There has been no news about Ruicai in the past ten days. Could it be that... Ruicai's mother and daughter have already started their actions?
Xizi interrupted Xiaoxiao's thoughts: "I gave you a thin rose petal, but you still like it?"
"I like it very much, but I just can't bear to cover it." Speaking of these gifts, Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered the big white parrot: "The girls didn't say it clearly, I don't know who gave the white parrot."
Xizi was stunned: "His he really gave you his parrot?"
"Who?" Xiaoxiao thought it was Wen Zhi? Because the only one who gave the gift was Wen Zhi? After Xizi said this, he could not guess who it was.
Xizi smiled and said, "It's my fourth brother. He heard that your cucumber was dead a while ago, so he thought about buying you a cucumber. Later, he heard that you didn't have a small living creature in your yard, so he simply wanted to give you his white parrot. Anyway, the parrot has been following him, and I'm afraid he won't be able to speak for the rest of his life."
I think I talk too much on weekdays, so I simply send the parrot over and let me teach it to speak?
"Does that parrot have a name?" Xiaoxiao asked.
Xizi carefully recalled: "Snow? 15┫?1?ㄗ博9? 12± bitch????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Xiaoxiao:...
Wen Zhi smiled and said, "We are either machinated or difficult to pronounce. Yingyuan can definitely give you a better one."
Xiaoxiao laughed silently for a long time, and finally said: "The green sleeves are floating on the white, and the soap is half inserted into the red slanted..."
"You can think of the word "Xijiangyue" to the parrot as its name!" Xizi smiled sweetly.
Wen Zhi also said: "The lanterns fall in hops?" The witty words fly for a while. Yingyuan can definitely make the parrots' witty words like pearls."
I smiled and laughed for a long time: Can I make people laugh without embarrassment...
When I returned to Zhuli Pavilion, I heard the little girl feeding the parrot say, "Dabai, Dabai, you really benefit from it! Let's call you uncle by the way around the corner! Why don't you let us call you uncle!"
Dabai looked at the little girl with contempt, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and continued to be expressionless.
Xiaoxiao shook the fan and floated into the room. Seeing a bowl of lotus blooming in the white porcelain jar placed in the room, she walked over and sniffed the light lotus fragrance. She didn't know what the grand scene of the lotus tomorrow would be.
For a moment, he took the account book and said, "Girl, this is the account book for this month..."
Seeing that Ba Hong had something to say, Xiaoxiao signaled her to go to the study to talk together.
"It is the first time that I have recorded the accounts outside. The flow of water outside is more complicated than the inner house. I am afraid that there will be omissions."
After some consideration, Xiaoxiao handed over the accounts of the outside business to Zhuhong to record. Although Xiao Dier was also a careful person, she could not think carefully about it: "Take it slowly, as long as you remember every sentence clearly and make it clear and the moon settled, it is not difficult."
The red-scrolled expression was a little hesitant: "The painting magazine has invested too much in this business. Now the account has bottomed out. I paid 20,000 yuan for printing in single ink, and only less than 100 taels of silver are left. The deposit for the Xia family's color-making plate making needs to be delivered, which is a considerable amount of money."
"What do you think?" Xiaoxiao never thought that Tao Hong was a person who only obeyed the command but did not think.
"After all, Sicun Printing Club is run by the fourth wife. Can you print on credit first and then make up for it when you have a surplus?" Tao Hong looked at the girl's expression and saw that she didn't say anything, and then continued: "Otherwise, it would be the share of Wenjiaxiang Shop. The girl had used a large number to buy a garden a few days ago, and now there are only 640 taels left. The share of Jin's Theater has never been moved. I have used the money to hand over the theater. In the past two months, the profits of the two restaurants have been 320 taels, and the profits of the two flower shops have been 610 taels."
"The deposit of the Xia family can be paid from the share of Wenjia Xiangshang. After all, we don't have substantial expenditures in the incense shop. Try not to move the share of the Jinshi Theater. It takes money to buy ingredients and fresh cut flowers. By the end of the month, we have to pay the profits to the theater, and all of them have to use money."
When Tahong heard the girl's order, he nodded.
"As for Aunt Fourth," Xiaoxiao never stings with his thoughtful subordinates. "The more relatives you have, the more you have to settle the accounts clearly, otherwise it would not be me who owe the debt, but the entire third room. Everything depends on your parents, and business will never be established."
Zheng pointed out the key point: "It's still the girl who thinks it carefully."
Xiaoxiao looked at the red-scribing account book: "You remember it very well. If you have any questions, just ask me directly. We can discuss it together."
"The girl has ruined me. I will remember the girl's instructions."
Xiaoxiao looked at Taohong with a serious look: "I sincerely ask you, are you willing to keep these external accounts? You are busy enough to manage the warehouse on weekdays, but you are a serious and careful person. If you don't do things well, you won't be able to sleep. It's clear that you've been exhausted this month."
Paihong replied seriously: "It is my fortune to give me this opportunity. I can learn more and see more of the world. It is not too late for me to thank the girl."
Xiaoxiao nodded, thought for a while and said, "Now that Eli has been promoted. If you are too busy, you can pick up a more secure girl and then raise two more. By the way, when will Helu's marriage be held?"
"It's said it's the beginning of spring next year."
"I'm married to Madam An's son, I'm afraid I'm going to the shop to be a steward. You can ask her what she means. If I want to stay, we will welcome you. If I'm willing to go to the shop, we'll also send you off. But the matter she is responsible for, I have to find someone to take over slowly. Although Ranbi is lively, it's better to move between the rooms to be more stable. You can consider Eli."
"I have remembered it. The girl is really a bodhisattva's heart. It is really her fate that He Lu Ding cultivates a master like her before her lifetime." Pai Hong firmly believes in a truth in her heart. As long as she follows the girl wholeheartedly, she will naturally have a bright future.
Xiaoxiao closed the account book in his hand: "Where will the beginning of autumn banquet tomorrow be held?"
"For the big sycamore tree, the old lady set the banquet on the pillow platform, and the banquet will be held tomorrow at the 1st time." replied Red, "At that time, every room will prepare the same fruits and fruits. In order to avoid the difference, each room will be full of energy. Grandma Chen prepared lychees, the second wife prepared peaches, the fourth wife prepared melons, the fifth wife prepared morning pomegranates, and our wife prepared agate grapes."
Xiaoxiao admires subordinates like Tahong, who have all kinds of miscellaneous things squeezed into their minds. After no matter how filtering and penetration, they have classified everything in an orderly manner and summarized it neatly.
Wahong took the account book and went out, walked through the corridor and returned to the backyard. He met Eli: "That girl named Chunye has just swept the yard for a few days, and today I will go to work in the corridor."
Eli lowered her voice and said, "Her godmother has a good relationship with Madam An, so she begs Sister Helu... Sister Helu did not agree, but asked her to do a few days in the corridor first."
"We should teach some rules first. Fortunately, the girl didn't have the same knowledge as her, otherwise her godmother wouldn't be able to get rid of it." Paihong said seriously, "The name of the white parrot was named by the girl himself. She couldn't help but talk too much. She would 'uncle' in front of the girl's door! She asked her to go back to the backyard to sweep the yard, and she would not step into the front yard. If she didn't understand the rules, she would come from where she came from."
"This girl is so bold!" Eli was so angry that she glared at her eyes, "It's just that Madam Xu should report this matter, and she should hold her mouth in front of her godmother!"
"I'll talk to Helu first about this matter." Paihong didn't say much. If this girl causes trouble in the future, the first thing she lost was Helu's face.
The white parrot shook its snow-white feathers, looked at it with a cold look, and continued to condolence his last day of summer with silence.
Xiaoxiao hummed a song in a prank: "Summer summer passes quietly, leaving a little secret, I won't tell you if I put my heart down~" As I sing, I turned onto the little dragon man: "I won't tell you! I won't tell you! I won't tell you! I won't tell you!"
As we sing, the weather will blow wind.
The wind blew out a sunny day.
Xiaoxiao and her sisters lay on the railings of the pillow platform, looking at the clear blue sky, and there were only a few little white clouds that had just woken up in the sky.
"As soon as autumn stands, you will feel like autumn water is long and the sky is coming." Huanyan said with emotion.
After the Autumn was established, the sisters could not leave their fans. Smiling, she shook her beloved Suxiu fan: "After all, the Qiu Tiger can roast people when she exerts her might."
Shu Yan said: "According to medical books, the period from the beginning of autumn to the autumnal equinox is called long summer."
"So that's it!" Xiaoxiao heard this for the first time.
The old lady and several wives had already sat on the table, with old watermelons, cooked green beans, corn, and all kinds of seasonal fruits and vegetables on the table. The old lady smiled and said, "Don't just be greedy, we have to wait for the cool breeze to come, but don't miss the fallen leaves of the sycamore tree!"
On the day of the beginning of autumn, Xiaoxiao realized that the men at home were going to worship their ancestors and would not participate in the beginning of autumn banquet. Therefore, today's beginning of autumn banquet is actually a festival for women.
Xiaoxiao asked, "One time the cool breeze comes, the second time the white dew is born, the third time the chirping of cicadas, I wonder how to pass the second and third times the second times?"
Huanyan said, "Every time is five days. On that morning after five days, the sisters must get up early, choose the heaviest flower from the garden and cut it off, and send it to the old lady's room in person. This is the second time white dew. In another five days, it will be a day to listen to the chirping of cicadas. Often go out with friends for a walk and play, find a place with many willow trees to listen to the cicadas, and just go out to enjoy it by reason."
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard Yanran say, "The leaves are falling!"
The second moment of the Hai hour has passed, which means that the first leaf of this autumn has fallen on this sycamore tree.
The sisters said together: "Autumn is here!"
When the old lady heard this, she stood by the railing with her wives and watched the fallen leaves. The autumn wind seemed to have sensed it and shaved two more leaves.
Because the blue sky above is bright and the autumn water below is clear, the leaves look very beautiful when they fall.
The old lady sighed: "A leaf tells autumn."
The wives said one after another: "Our family will definitely have a good harvest this year!"
