155. It turned out to be his home
The next day, He Zijin took Madam Yu to the Chen family after breakfast. Cui'er and Xiao Fuzi have been married for more than half a year and have a body. Therefore, Shen did not ask her to do these jobs who went out. She did some light work at home, which also meant that Cui'er was raising her body.
When I arrived at Aunt Chen's house, there was a beautiful flower group. In addition to the people in the long house, Yuzhe's aunt and sisters came very well. Because the old couple had already had a different intention, Aunt Chen was very happy to see He Zijin. When He Zijin asked him to come to the embroidery workshop, he told me that the third girl could not come to the embroidery workshop. Aunt Chen asked her to sit beside her, held He Zijin's little hand intimately, and looked at her and smiled, "I often came with your grandmother when I was a child. Now I am older, I don't like it anymore." This girl was born white and tender when she was a child, and now she is getting bigger and bigger, and her eyebrows are becoming more and more outstanding.
He Zijin smiled and said, "My mother often talks about me, saying that when I am old, I should go out less and do more needlework at home."
Aunt Chen laughed, "It's okay, come here, just come here, your sisters are talking about you." Because Chen Daniu has a criminal record, Aunt Chen did not call her over, and asked Xu Lengmei to look at Chen Daniu and not come over to offend others with impulse. Chen Erniu, Chen Sanniu, Siniu, Chen Wuniu and are all with Aunt Chen. Chen Erniu has always been smart and took the words of her grandmother and said, "Yes, we haven't seen each other for a long time. What are the sisters doing at home?"
"There's nothing else, just make needles and threads." He Zijin smiled, "I made some rose sauce and brought it to my sisters for taste." The girl's house was nothing more than eating and dressing up.
The Chen family is not as good as Chen Daniu and his daughter, and the atmosphere is peaceful and friendly. The second grandma Chen smiled, "Your grandpa bought some good materials from outside, which is the most suitable for girls of your age. He specially told you and Sanya to pick some and take them back to make clothes. If Sanya has something to do, you can pick some for her later."
Thinking of Aunt Chen's old fox, He Zijin looked like a smiling tiger, and his expression and tone were sincere and sincere. "My aunt is always so kind, and I am really flattered to think of us in everything."
Uncle Chen felt that he was not bad for He Zijin. He knew that He Zijin had come here today and had used Xu Fen. Uncle Chen specially ordered someone to invite He Zijin to the inner study room and told her about returning to Furongfang. Uncle Chen repeatedly said, "Although you have saved money, you have a pity that your reputation was earned by Furongfang." He always felt that it was too a pity.
He Zijin didn't expect that Uncle Chen would specifically talk to him about Furongfang. He Zijin laughed, "I'm not a man, so it's useless to have such a big reputation."
Mr. Chen often travels in the prefecture, and is a businessman for many years. He is a hundred times more informed than He Zijin. He said, "Why do you think Furongfang buys flowers for you? Last year, your two pots of flowers were given to Lord Xue from Qingcheng Mountain by the Governor. I heard that Lord Xue likes it very much. This year, your flower will definitely have a place in the chrysanthemum fight. Furongfang feels that his own flowers are not as good as you, so he wants to make a name for himself. You give your great reputation to his family for nothing, but his family has taken advantage of it."
"Mr. Xue?" He Zijin did not focus on Furongfang. She was quite surprised. "In the prefecture, the biggest official is the governor. This Lord Xue heard that he is very knowledgeable, but he is an official who retired after all, so why do he have such great face to ask the governor to give him gifts?" He just refused to give it to the governor.
Uncle Chen thought, he was indeed not wrong. He Zijin. Looking at this girl, he knew what kind of government the governor was at a young age. His old wife couldn't tell which governor was bigger and which governor was smaller. Oh, he was really promising. Uncle Chen secretly praised himself for his good eyesight and took a tea ceremony. "Many people know about Lord Xue, but most of them only know one thing but not the other. It is natural that Lord Xue's knowledge is very good. I heard that he had been the emperor's gentleman in the past. Later, Lord Xue resigned from his post and went home to do research, and lived in Qingcheng Mountain. Now he still has the title of a first-rank Grand Secretary. His Majesty attaches great importance to Lord Xue. He has given him something to him. It is not surprising that the Governor is an old acquaintance with him.
Speaking of this, Uncle Chen said, "Your flower must be left for my aunt and grandfather." He wanted to buy it last year, but he said it was too late and didn't buy it. This year, he predicted that He Zijin's flower would be popular, so he wanted to book it in advance. He Zijin said directly, "It's all settled out."
He Zijin said, "A total of four basins were collected and given to Furongfang."
Uncle Chen didn't believe it, "Can you only plant four pots of flowers a year?"
He Zijin said seriously, "It's easy to raise green chrysanthemums, but the best green chrysanthemums are difficult. It's good that I can raise four pots a year. If you don't believe it, just go out and inquire."
Uncle Chen laughed, "This, you are an expert, what do you say and what I believe."
"Don't, I'm fooling you. Even if you believe it, you won't be fooled by me." He Zijin said sarcastic words, and she looked like she was smiling. Her eyes were curved, showing two pointed tiger teeth, with a child's innocent and playful look. Uncle Chen couldn't get angry and said, "I believe, I really believe it. Look, you girl, have thought too much again."
He Zijin smiled and said, "You said that in our relatives, besides you, I am the one who loves too much."
Uncle Chen coaxed her again and said with a smile, "Anyway, be careful about Furongfang. If there is any difficulty, come and tell me."
He Zijin suddenly felt a little moved and asked, "But what is wrong with the Zhang family and the Ning family?"
Uncle Chen secretly praised He Zijin for being smart. Such a smart child is also his optimistic grandson-in-law. Uncle Chen was happy to give He Zijin a guide and said, "The Zhang family and the Ning family are both famous families in the prefecture. Now they still have marriages. The fifth grandmother of the Ning family is from the Zhang family. I think that you are selling well, and you have a reputation for everything, and you can do too many things. You are really unintentional, that's fine."
When He Zijin said goodbye, in addition to the materials given by Aunt Chen, Aunt Chen specially gave He Zijin a few pieces of makeup and weaving gold silk, and said with a kind look on his face, "You little girl's house is the time to dress up."
He Zijin didn't think much about the Chen family. She felt that it was because of Grandma Chen's previous incident that offended the He family. Now the third girl has a good marriage, and the relationship between the two families has been much eased. The Chen family made a statement that they were doing it for Mrs. He to show her good news.
Aunt Chen said, "I have prepared the car and ask your cousin to take you back." All the things were put into He Zijin's car.
He Zijin saw that Chen Xing and Chen Yuan were all wearing college uniforms and said, "Second cousin, the third cousin, just finished school, aren't it too tired? Grandma, just worry, it's the same with the nanny and the coachman."
Chen Yuan and A Nian were in the same class and laughed, "There is no need to be tired. I happened to go to A Nian and A Can to do my homework, otherwise it would be boring if I was alone at home."
Chen Xing wanted to kick him and said, "I'm not a human?"
"Second brother, you are in Class A, and your homework is different from ours." Chen Yuan said.
Chen Xing smiled and told Chen Yuan, "Be careful on the road."
Chen Yuan sent He Zijin home. On the way, he met A Nian. Chen Yuan sat on the outside board like the coachman, and asked the coachman to stop the green mule being pulled. Chen Yuan got out of the car and asked, "A Nian, what are you doing?"
A Nian said, "Sister Zijin is here to your house, I'll pick her up." He Zijin had already opened the car door from inside and smiled, "A Nian, come up."
A Nian didn't move and greeted Madam Yu, "Sister, come down, there is not much paper for writing at home, I have to buy paper, let's go together."
He Zijin was about to get off the car, and Chen Yuan said, "Wait a minute and put the car stool." As a cousin, he also knew how to take care of his cousin. Before Chen Yuan could put down the car stool, A Nian reached out to help him. He Zijin pushed A Nian's hand and jumped down neatly.
Chen Yuan: Cousin He is very skilled...
A Nian said, "Third cousin, sister Zijin and I will go to Bimo Shop. You can go to my house first. Brother A Can has been thinking about you several times."
Chen Yuannian was only fourteen, and he was not as thoughtful as the young men. But as his brother, he couldn't help but think more and asked, "Wouldn't it be cheap for you to get in the car and take you to the Bimo Shop?"
"I have to go to the pickle shop after I buy the paper." A Nian smiled, "Don't worry, my third cousin, so broad daylight, we will be back in a while since we grew up. A Cannian told you that it's been half a day, so you can go quickly."
Chen Yuan laughed, "Okay, please take Zijin on the road." He Zijin was betrayed by Zijin, so people were very worried when they went out.
A Nian laughed, "If I lose it, I can't throw away Sister Zijin."
"That's not. If you lose it, you still have to look for it, don't throw it away." Chen Yuan laughed and got in the car and left first.
As soon as Chen Yuan left, A Nian happily took his sister Zijin to the pen and mo shop. After buying some writing paper, she went to the pickle shop to get sesame cakes and elbow meat to go home.
The He family was very lively. The four brothers of the Feng family, Chen Yuan, and A Lie, said hello when they saw He Zijin and A Nian come back. Because they were relatives of Feng Chen's family, they were both brothers and sisters when they called each other. He Zijin smiled and said a few words to the little boys before going back to the house to change their clothes.
After A Nian went there, she put the sesame cakes on a plate and brought them over. Everyone went to the well to wash their hands, eat the sesame cakes, and talked about what they were doing in their studies.
Mrs. He sat and talked with Mrs. Shen under the vine rack in the inner courtyard. She could hear the voices of the children in the front yard. She smiled and said, "This family must be lively." She also said to Mrs. Zhou, "It's better to just eat the sesame cakes and make soup for the children." After eating, I finished writing my homework.
Mrs. Zhou laughed, "Madam, don't worry, tomato and egg soup is good." She also trained He Zijin, who has always been the one who must have soup for meals.
Old Madam He stopped saying anything. He Zijin changed her clothes and went to sit in the rattan chair under the melon rack with Old Madam Shen. Old Madam He asked, "Why do you still buy roasted mutton?" When A Nian brought it in, she smelled the smell.
He Zijin poured a cup of tea and drank half of it. "When I passed by Zhao Yangtou Shop, I saw that the braised lamb that had just been out of the pot was really fragrant, so I bought some and it happened to add vegetables to the evening."
Old Madam He didn't say much, and thought for a while, "Well, your mother likes to eat mutton." The wife was pregnant with her grandson. No matter how delicate she was in the food, she became generous now. She was not for her daughter-in-law, but for her grandson in her belly.
Shen smiled and asked about his daughter's affairs at the Chen family. He Zijin said roughly, "My grandma got some good materials and gave me and my third sister a few pieces of clothes. Because she had too many things, she asked my third cousin to send me to my house. On the way, I met A Nian, so I went to the Bimo Shop with A Nian to buy some paper and let my third cousin come first."
Shen smiled, "A Nian heard that you went to your aunt's house and went to pick you up."
Mrs. He smiled, "It was best to be with Zijin when he was a child. This child has a conscience when he grows up."
He Zijin said something else, "I heard from A Nian that the shop outside the academy was built almost the same. I had already agreed with Taoist Priest Chaoyun that I had paid the deposit and wanted to go and have a look tomorrow."
"Then you come back early tomorrow afternoon, I told the tits to buy two little maids for your sisters, and she will bring people here tomorrow evening." Shen Shi went on to discuss with Mrs. He, "There must be two maids around the third girl. I thought, one is older, fourteen or fifteen years old, who knows something and can serve people. The younger one is in his teens, and he can adjust it slowly. Zi Jin has a temporary reservation, and just buy a little maid in his teens."
If you marry an ordinary family, you can just have a maid. A big family like the Hu family will have two. Mrs. He nodded and "Finish."
He Zijin said, "It's better to buy a servant for A Nian." A Nian is different from A Lée. In the future, this family will belong to A Lée. If you don't buy people, A Lée will not lack people. A Nian is different. When A Nian becomes older and establishes his own door, he must have a loyal subordinate.
Shen had a long thought, saying, "A Nian is not in a hurry. He is only ten years old now. He is afraid that he will not be able to subdue him. Buying a seven or eight-year-old is too small and not responsible for the trouble. After two years, A Nian will be older and have a more stable mind. He will still buy a teenager. At least he knows something and knows how to serve people. If A Nian has been conditioned for two years, it will be useful."
After talking about buying people, Shen said, "Let Xiao Fuzi accompany you to the mountain tomorrow."
He Zijin said, "I will go with A Nian and the others in the morning. They go to school and Guanli. The two places are not far away. In the afternoon, I will come back with A Nian and the others."
Shen laughed, "Okay."
He Zijin went to Chaoyunguan to make the road cheaper, so he specially changed into a royal blue man's outfit in the morning, tied his hair up into a bun like A Nian and the others, and inserted it with a peach wood hairpin given by A Nian. That handsome... I can't say it. In the words of Mrs. He, "Oh, I'm more handsome than your grandfather when he was younger!" In the eyes of Mrs. He, the most handsome man in the world is his old man~
Feng Yan is still young, and when he was looking for He Lie to go to school, he couldn't help but say, "Sister Zi Jin, you are more handsome than Brother A Nian when you dress like this."
Feng Yi and Feng Xuan also glanced at He Zijin, well, he was quite handsome.
A Nian carried a small bamboo basket on Zijin's back and put his schoolbag in the bamboo basket. He said this, isn't this nonsense? His sister Zijin is the best and the second handsome man. A Nian was indifferent to her heart and said with a blank expression, "Okay, the time is almost over, let's go now." All day students had to get up early to rush to the academy.
Feng Can asked, "Is sister going to school together?"
He Zijin said, "I'll go to Chaoyunguan and just go with you."
Feng Yan said, "Brother A Nian, can I put my schoolbag in your backpack?" A Lie replied, "Don't dream, I'll carry it myself if I haven't seen you." Brother A Nian was only willing to carry it for his sister. In the words of Brother A Nian, girls should take more care of themselves, boys, be self-reliant~ Brother A Nian ignored these two guys at all and talked to Sister Zijin, "It's cooler as soon as autumn begins, and it's just right to go to the mountain now. In the afternoon, my sister just waits, and I'll go to pick you up after school."
As the group talked, they quickly walked to the academy. On the way, A Nian did not forget to tell his sister Zijin about the scenery around him. After all, his sister Zijin had less time to go out. When he arrived at Furong Mountain, A Nian also sent her sister Zijin to Chaoyunguan first before going to the academy.
Taoist Master Chaoyun smiled, "I came early today."
He Zijin smiled, "I brought it with A Nian and the others." He took out two small jars of hawthorn sauce from the bamboo basket. Now all the sour things are her mother's favorites. Her mother liked this hawthorn sauce after she tasted it. But pregnant women cannot eat more hawthorns. He Zijin brought two jars of Taoist Chaoyun. Speaking of which, Taoist Chaoyun is a handful of age and looks like a fairy-like appearance in daily life. In fact, she has a little hobby of desserts in private. He Zijin smiled, "I just made the hawthorn sauce for Taoist Chaoyun to try it."
As a return gift, Taoist Chaoyun taught He Zijin to play chess. He Zijin was not interested in playing chess. In her words, "It's too useless."
Chaoyun smiled, "When you were a child, you learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from your female husband."
"That was at my grandmother's home, so of course it was my teacher who taught me what I learned. The teacher who taught us also said that piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are just an inspiration, and there is no need to be too serious." He Zijin said, "I am more interested in cooking."
Chaoyun smiled, "Your interest is real." Of course, he also got a lot of benefits, and He Zijin, a girl, made great snacks.
"I love the miscellaneous learning of history books and books." In front of the fairy style, He Zijin tried hard to establish a high-end image.
Chao Yun smiled, "The little girl wants face."
He Zijin refused to admit it, "It's not about being a face, I'm telling the truth." He looked very sincere.
Taoist Chaoyun cooked a pot of tea. Even though He Zijin had a unique scent of fireworks, she was very sure of Huohou. She took over the task of Taoist Chaoyun cooking tea and boiled a pot of camellia, just right. Taoist Chaoyun praised it and said, "It's still a bit of spiritual energy."
"The water is good, the tea is good. Of course, the people who make tea are better. The tea will not be bad." He was so arrogant that he laughed at Taoist Yun. He Zijin poured two cups of tea and presented it to Taoist Master with both hands.
He Zijin was born with an elder's fate. He stayed with Taoist Chaoyun for a day and borrowed a book to read. It was not a profound book, but a handwritten book for this delicious food. He Zijin read it with relish, but unfortunately Taoist Chaoyun did not lend it. He Zijin agreed to take a pen and ink to copy the next day.
This person who wrote the food book is really knowledgeable. You can see from the writing that you have visited many places, including the delicious food in the south and north of the Yangtze River, and you can also know it. Even the geographical customs of various places are easy to pick and enjoy. Just looking at the words, you will know that you are a very knowledgeable person.
He Zijin and Taoist Master Yun sighed, "It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time. If I were a man, I would have to live up to this life."
Taoist Master Chaoyun smiled, "I don't know that Zijin still has this ambition."
He Zijin raised his eyebrows, "That's it!" His previous life was a time when landlords were collected for tickets, and he was willing to take a look everywhere, not to mention that now the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the blue sky and white clouds are now.
As the two were talking, A Nian shouted at the door, "Sister Zijin."
"Oh, school is over now." After a look, it was about to set sun. He Zijin put the books together, stood up and said goodbye to Taoist Master Chaoyun, and agreed to come tomorrow.
Master Chaoyun smiled casually.
A Nian put his schoolbag in Sister Zijin's backpack and politely said goodbye to Taoist Master Yun.
The two went down the mountain together, looking at people riding horses on the mountain road, and elementary school students avoided them on the road. He Zijin looked good, and could see that the horse riders were also wearing ink blue student uniforms. He couldn't help but say, "There are people riding horses in school?" It's not that riding horses, but horses were precious animals in this era, so people often used mules and donkeys to travel by now. For example, Chen, He Xin, Hu's family, or the county magistrate's family, had horses. However, even the Hu family never allowed their descendants to ride horses to school. Mr. Hu insisted on the educational method of "hard their hearts and minds and skins to work hard" such as Hu Wen's brothers walking to school. The Chen family could also afford horses. However, Chen became a relative of the Hu family, so Chen tried to align the education method with the Hu family. He could afford horses, and he did not ask his grandson to ride, but he also walked to school.
A Nian felt disgusted, "It's the Zhao family."
He Zijin couldn't remember it for a moment, and A Nian said, "That is, his family has a rich man Zhao's family."
He Zijin nodded slightly, it turned out to be his family.
Chapter completed!
