While He Zijin was counting the gifts with Mrs.
He, the steward of the Chen family came to visit.
Instead of dealing with Manager Chen, Mrs.
He would rather go and count the gifts.
Huh, the Chen family was rude to her.
Little did she know that there were so many people who wanted to curry favor with her, even her girl, Fian, was becoming more and more promising, knowing how to grow flowers and make money.
In terms of money, one person is as capable as ten others.
Hum hum Seeing that Manager Chen was no longer as good-looking as before, Mrs.
He asked, "What's the matter?"
Didn't you already send Double Ninth Festival gifts?
Is it possible to send them again?
Manager Chen hurriedly paid his respects to his wife-in-law.
Ever since his eldest grandma offended his wife-in-law, her uncle-in-law's face had not calmed down for many days.
Don't say that he is just in charge, even when his master comes, he does the same thing.
Thinking of Mrs.
He's temper, Manager Chen was more respectful and said with a smile, "To tell you what to say to my uncle and wife, the Ning family has prepared a Double Ninth Festival gift and asked me to bring it back to you.
My master also died just after he got home.
"Brought it over."
Mrs.
He understood immediately after thinking about it and said to He Zijin, "Maybe you left in a hurry."
Of course, it could also be that the Ning family was snobbish and regretted not entertaining her precious girl that day.
When He Zijin came back, he only said that he had gone to the Ning family and did not tell his family about being neglected in the Ning family.
However, He, Mrs.
Shen and the rest of the family have lived to this age.
Even if the Ning family is a big family, they are very strict about rules.
But most things in the world have a routine, and even people like the Ning family can't escape the big trap.
One thing that is very clear is that you want to value someone.
If someone comes to your home, why don't you meet them quickly?
Unless it's someone you don't want to see, you'll avoid it and ask someone to help entertain you.
He Zijin went and didn't see the head of the Ning family.
Isn't it because people looked down on the He family?
If He Zijin was not He Gong's daughter, but the emperor's daughter, the Ning family dared not see him.
In the final analysis, they still looked down on the He family.
Home.
He Lao Niang knew everything in her heart, but He Zijin didn't say anything, so she just pretended not to know, but in her heart she scolded the Ning family for being snobbish.
Now that he saw the gift, he said nothing and said to Manager Chen, "Thank you for your hard work."
Manager Chen hurriedly said humbly, "Don't dare, don't dare, it's your responsibility."
He hurriedly presented the gift list prepared by the Ning family, and Grandma Yu took it.
He Lao Niang said, "It's too late today.
There is a big festival tomorrow.
Our small family wants tea but not tea and water but not water.
I won't keep you.
Go back and rest."
Even though Steward Chen had followed Aunt Chen to travel south and had a lot of experience in the world, and he thought he was well-rounded and eloquent, now he didn't know how to deal with what Mrs.
He said.

Manager Chen had no choice but to say, "I'm sorry, please leave."
He left respectfully.
Mrs.
He sneered and called He Zijin, "Come on, girl, take a look at what's on this gift list."
She had limited literacy.
He Zijin took the gift list and said, "Let's go and take a look.
We will know by comparing everything on the list."
"This is the same."
Listening to the gift list is not as visual as seeing the real thing.
Of course, He Lao Niang doesn't quite understand what visual sense is.
She just feels that you can only be happy when you see things.
Most of what the Ning family had prepared was clothing materials.
They probably couldn't figure out how many members of the He family there were, so they all prepared some for the young, middle-aged and old.
Grandma Ning Wu had been complained a lot by Mrs.
Ning, so she put a lot of thought into preparing these things.
The materials were also very good, at least better than what He Zijin bought in the shop in the state capital.
In addition, there are two ginseng plants, two packages of bird's nests, a few skins, and some body replenishing items.
All in all, it is a very enjoyable Double Ninth Festival gift.
There was also a letter attached saying that He Zijin was busy with general affairs on the day he went and was unable to receive him.
The next time he goes to the state capital, He Zijin must go there and have fun.
Mrs.
He smacked her lips, looked at the pile of things and smiled, "This is pretty close."
He Zijin smiled, "Look at the material.
It's just right for making two new sets of clothes."
He Lao Niang said, "I'm not going to be married or going out.
It's not like I don't have any clothes.
How can I make new clothes?
Save them all for when they will be of great use in the future."
He Lao Niang couldn't help but touch her again and again.
This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a soft and smooth material, with jacquards and sprinkles on it.
The colors are so bright and soft.
You can tell at a glance that this color is strong and it is not an ordinary material.
He Lao Niang has already planned to wait until He Zijin tells her husband's family to make a dowry for her, so she can wear it now to look fresh, and where can she find such good materials in the future.
He Zijin really couldn't stand He Lao Niang's temperament of keeping things for herself, and said, "Things are just for use.
If you leave a house full of good things in the house and don't use them, be careful of attracting rats and bugs."
"My box is made of old camphor wood.
It's a good thing passed down from my grandmother.
There has never been a bug in it for more than a hundred years."
Madam He was determined and said, "You have to keep this for later, don't There are only three or two good things that cannot stand. , Don’t feel uncomfortable, right?
You are such a careless girl, you don’t have enough money to live in the future.
This is in your mother’s family, everything is up to you, if you are in your husband’s family, you will always think like this.
Wearing food and clothing will be frowned upon.”
These days, no ordinary person is frugal.
However, in this world, who is not beautiful?
What’s more, He Zijin feels that he is still a little beauty.

He didn’t fall down before.
Now that he has good materials, it’s not called clothes.
How can he bear it?
Her heart suddenly moved and she said, "Grandma, listen to me, if you want to go out as a guest in the future, you have to have clothes to wear, right?"
"Why are the clothes we wore before so ungraceful?"
Her family doesn't have any prominent relatives, but the Chen family or the He Xin family are relatively wealthy.
They are very familiar with each other, and there is no need to dress up in particular.
He Zijin immediately said, "If I go to Hu's house, shouldn't I make some good clothes?"
He Lao Niang is considered a good person in life, but her knowledge is limited after all.
She asked, "You gave his family a pot of green chrysanthemum for free.
His family can invite our family's past patriarch, which is not so dignified.
Only when A Luo is a scholar, listen."
She said she met Mr.
Hu.
"Of course, her girl's green chrysanthemum is a rare thing now, and it's also very valuable.
If such money is thrown out, it will make a noise no matter what.
He Lao Niang couldn't help but tell He Zijin that she was moved.
He Zijin has a natural advantage.
Whatever she says, no matter whether it is true or full of nonsense, people will believe it.
He Zijin said, "Be prepared.
What if someone invites us, but if we don't have good materials, we should give up.
There is a cabinet full of good materials at home, but because we don't want to wear them, they are all locked in the cabinet.
When the time comes, we don't have any decent clothes for the guests."
Wouldn’t that make people look down upon?”
Madam He hesitated, "How about one person doing it all?"
"There has to be a replacement."
"What are you replacing?
These clothes are just for going to a respectable house.
It only lasts for a while.
How can you replace them when you are tending flowers and plants at home and don't need to wear these good clothes."
He Lao Niang has been careful all her life.
If it is He Zijin If she wants something to eat, Mrs.
He will usually ask someone to buy it for her.
Anyway, the whole family will eat it.
Madam He is quite generous when it comes to raising children, but as long as the clothes are clean and tidy, Madam He is really reluctant to part with good materials, and she always thinks that she can save some for future use.
He Zijin's mouth was dry when he said it, and He Lao Niang finally agreed.
Because the materials sent by the Ning family were so good, He Lao Niang was reluctant to touch them.
However, the clothing materials from the state capital that He Zijin brought back yesterday can be used as appropriate to make body clothes for one person at home.
Because I am a stingy person, He Zijin, in the spirit of striking while the iron is hot, thought of taking out the materials first that night.
Unexpectedly, He said, "In the middle of the night, in the dark, your grandma is old and her eyesight is no longer good." , look now The keyhole is not clear, so it’s hard to take it out.
Let’s take it out tomorrow when the daylight is better.
“Even if you want to make clothes, it’s better to keep them in her old man’s cabinet for a night.
Oh, you girl, you can’t save money, just make it.
Wanting to spend money makes her worried to death, right?
He Lao Niang is not worried to death, but Grandma Yu is almost dying of worry: her eyes are a bit flowery, but the keyhole is still fine.

However, Mrs.
He insisted not to give it, and He Zijin had nothing to do.
However, the Hu family helped the next day.
Early in the morning, the Hu family brought two large baskets of crabs, saying they were from their own pond, and they were given to relatives and friends.
Today is the day of the Double Ninth Festival.
It can be seen that He Zijin did not give this flower for free.
After seeing off Guanshi Hu, Mrs.
He smiled, "I was talking about it yesterday, but I didn't expect someone to actually send crabs today, which will save money on buying crabs."
She didn't like to eat this, so she said, "Hard-shelled" Crabs are not as tasty as stewed meat.
They are expensive and are not a rare thing.
They are found in rice fields.
If there are too many of them, the rice will not be planted well and the harvest will be affected.
Many farmers picked them from the rice fields, chopped them up, and fed them to chickens and ducks.
However, Mrs.
He didn't understand how those wealthy people still kept these things in ponds.
Furthermore, what Mrs.
He doesn't understand even more is that the things that are obviously fed to chickens and ducks become so expensive as they grow older.
He Gong was very happy about this.
He took a look at it and said, "The crabs are quite big this year.
I can't eat these for a while.
Let's give some to Ah Shan and the others.
This thing is only in season.
Such good crabs must not be cheap.
The couple is frugal and would be reluctant to buy such a good one. " Mrs.
Shen smiled, "That's true.
Let me tell you, our family can't eat it anyway, so why not give it to the neighbors to have a taste."
"Very true."
He Gong said.
Mrs.
He urged her son, "Go quickly.
Isn't there a chrysanthemum feast at the county magistrate's house?
There are also crabs to eat there."
"Eating wine out is not as enjoyable as eating at home."
Although the He family has an ordinary background, it is a single generation of three generations.
He Gong was raised by He Gong.
He has a good temper and a broad heart, and he does not like to play tricks.
Of course, according to his temperament, he will go to the occasions where he should go, otherwise he will appear withdrawn.
However, these words are also He Gong's true words.
Madam He smiled, "Go, all the scholars are going.
When we come back in the evening, we will steam it and eat it."
He Gongxiao said, "Mom, you can eat it at noon.
It's the season for eating crabs.
The kids want to eat it too.
You don't have to wait for me.
Mom also said that the county magistrate also has good crabs."

He Gong drank half a cup of tea at home, said a few words, and then took Xiao Fuzi to the county magistrate's house for a banquet.
In the past, He Gong was a scholar who stood up at the age of 18.
When he was young, he was quite popular in front of the county magistrate when he was first selected as a scholar.
Now that he is getting older and has not been selected as a scholar, he has gradually become less popular.
Fortunately, he can think of everything.
The key is that the family has no worries about food and drink, the husband and wife are in love, and the children are well-off.
Now I see that my daughter is also going to be successful.
He Gong is not a good candidate.
I am lucky to get it.
I am not lucky enough to die.
Moreover, scholars are also divided into grades.
Young scholars like Luo Chenzhi are the most popular.
In Bishui County, except for Mr.
Hu, who has become an official, and Xu Juren, who lives in the countryside, the rest are the scholars.
As for Luo Azhi, he naturally has the best seat and can often sit at the same table as the county magistrate.
People like He Gong were in the middle class among scholars, and there was another class who was old and poor, who was at the bottom class.
Today is different from the past.
He Gong's middle-ranking position among the previous scholars has moved up a notch, and he actually sits at the same table as the county magistrate.
When everyone sees him, they inevitably talk about chrysanthemums.
In fact, He Zijin does not raise many flowers every year, but there are quite a few.
Especially seasonal flowers like these, which were scarce at first, but later when they were well grown, her father often gave them away as gifts, so He Zijin raised a few more pots.
This year is the Double Ninth Festival.
In Bishui County, only Mr.
Hu and the county magistrate have green chrysanthemums.
The rest are Xu Juren who is close to He Gong and other well-connected scholars.
Those who left early for the Double Ninth Festival ceremony also received He Gong's gifts.
A gift of chrysanthemums.
The green chrysanthemum was rare, and He Zijin had to sell it for money every year.
Therefore, He Gong gave chrysanthemums of other colors as gifts.
Even though He Zijin's chrysanthemums were considered ordinary in the past, and now He Zijin's green chrysanthemums were sold for a huge price, the families who received He Gong's chrysanthemums also felt that the He family's chrysanthemums were unusual.
It is also the Double Ninth Festival, so everyone will inevitably talk about chrysanthemums.
For a while, I admired chrysanthemums, ate crabs, and wrote poems.
He Gong is here to attend the county magistrate's chrysanthemum banquet.
Just after He Gong left, the He family received two baskets of crabs from the Chen family.
In fact, the Chen family would have given them in previous years, but this year the relationship between the two families was tense.
He was still angry with the Chen family.
When she saw that the Chen family were either sarcastic or sarcastic, He She thought that the Chen family would not give her crabs this year, so yesterday she was mumbling about having to spend money to buy crabs.
I didn't expect that the Chen family would send another gift today, and together with the ones from the Hu family, it would be quite a lot.
Mrs.
Shen discussed with Mrs.
He, "This big crab is really good.
It can only be kept for half a month after being marinated and marinated in sauce.
Our family can't eat it."
Ashan and his wife are two, but I heard that his in-laws also make a small business in Bishui County.
For business, why not give Ashan a basket and ask him to take it away.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
"I originally wanted to give Chen Shan ten or eight baskets, but now that I have four big baskets at home, I will simply give Chen Shan one big basket.
He Lao Niang said, "That's okay."
At least it's a favor.
Shen Shanzhang and his wife accompanied her two girls to the state capital, and they were quite loyal and reliable.
He Lao Niang said, "Eat once at noon and once in the evening.
This thing is not easy to die.
Ask Mrs.
Zhou to put it in a basket to keep for a day or two.
You can still eat it tomorrow.
There is one basket left.
You can drink some wine and make some sauce.
Keep it.
I’ll take some of Gong’s food and sell it at the sauce shop to see if it can be sold.
Anyway, it’s a business without a capital, so it’s a good profit if it’s cheaper.”
Shen agreed.
He Zijin gave He Lao Niang a warning, "Ask Aunt Zhou to feed the crabs with egg white at night, otherwise they will lose weight."
Mother He said, "You are willing to give it up, eggs are so expensive."
"I only eat crabs now, how many times can I eat them?"
He Zijin likes crabs.
She can eat six big crabs in one meal.
This is because Shen is trying to stop her from eating too much. time.
He Zijin smiled, "Grandma doesn't like eating crabs.
I'll ask Aunt Zhou to buy a piece of pork belly and tear open some crabs.
How about I make you a lion's head?"
Madam He said, "That's so fishy."
“It’s not fishy at all and it’s incredibly delicious.”
"Let's do it, let's give it back to the lion's head, it's just a big meatball."
Mrs.
He muttered, habitually finding faults.
He Zijin smiled, "The small one is called Wanzi, and the big one is called Lion Head."
Mrs.
Shen went to the assigned party to deliver crabs, while He Zijin took Nanny Zhou to buy pork belly.
Since today was the holiday, A Nian He Lie didn't have to study.
Shen had already arranged the things to be delivered, so he asked the two brothers to go and deliver them to each house.
Those who gave them crabs, a fish, a chicken, a handful of fresh vegetables and a watermelon each gave some gifts in return.
In fact, the He family also brought their own meat and vegetables.
However, this is how it is among neighbors.
It is obvious that they are affectionate when they often interact with each other. .
In addition to steaming crabs at noon, we also cooked a table of delicious dishes.
A-Nian and A-lie are young, and He Lie doesn't have the care to open and eat crabs.
He only likes to eat crab roe and crab paste.
He won't eat crab meat if no one cuts it for him.
Now that he has this lion's head, He Lie feels that the lion's head is more fragrant and more to his liking, so he doesn't touch the crabs much.
Miss Ah Nian is very meticulous when it comes to eating, and the crab shells and legs can be put back together as they are after being picked out.
Mrs.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Shen thought this stuff was very cold and didn't let the children eat more of it.
She also had limited food.
He Lao Niang did not eat crabs, but ate a lion's head.
He Zijin was afraid that He Lao Niang would eat too much meat and said, "You can eat more vegetables."
Mrs.
He muttered, "It's so easy to let go of the meat for a long time, but you still stop me from eating it.
It's a shame that I bought the meat with my own money."
"It's such a big meatball, just eat one.
If you want to eat them all tomorrow, it's true that eating too many meatballs at once is hard to digest."
He Zijin picked up chopsticks for her to eat the cold lotus root, "Try this, it's crispy and fresh."
Well, lotus roots are also relatively expensive.
Mother He ate two chopsticks of lotus roots and said, "How did you learn this lion head?
Your mother doesn't know how to cook such a good dish."
Mother He didn't pay attention at first, thinking that Her girl looks like her in the movie, she's very talented and stuff like that.
But now it’s hard to deceive oneself and others.
It can be said that He Zijin figured it out on his own, but why does her granddaughter cook the same dish better than others?
Especially this lion head, she used to go to banquets I have eaten it before, but I have never eaten it with crab meat and crab roe in it.
Such a delicious taste melts in your mouth as soon as you eat it.
This is the first time in my life that Mrs.
He has eaten such delicious food.
He Zijin was calm and composed, "I copied so many books for free at the bookstore.
Sometimes I brought two books back to read, and Boss Qian didn't say anything.
It's just for reading.
Some people who love food love to write food books.
Come on, it’s all about cooking.”
He said, "It turns out that cooks can also write books."
He intuitively believed that anyone who writes recipes is a cook.
He Zijin was patient and smiled, "I may not be a cook, but at least I am someone who knows how to eat.
There is actually a trick to this lion head, which is to use pork belly to make it more fragrant.
Some people like to fry it and then stew it.
I think originally five The pork belly is fat, so there is no need to fry it.
After simmering for a long time, the fat meat will naturally melt into the soup.
Moreover, the soup is made of broth, so there is no need to fry it.
Furthermore, put the removed crab shells in when cooking the soup. , the soup will be more fresh and taste better.”
Mrs.
He nodded seriously and said, "These books are not bad to read."
Mainly because they are more useful.
These days, a girl's good cooking skills is also an advantage.
In fact, this advantage is just the icing on the cake for He Zijin.
Ever since He Zijin sold eight hundred taels of flowers, many people have inquired about her.
It's just that because she is young now, she really can't talk about her marriage.
Everyone.
That’s all.
Wait and see in two years, with such an ability to grow flowers, the matchmaker will have to level the threshold of the He family.
The whole family was talking, and He Gong didn't come back until late in the afternoon, smelling of alcohol.

Mrs.
Shen hurriedly ordered Cui'er to go to the kitchen to bring sobering soup, helped him sit down, and asked, "How do you drink so much wine?"
He Gong's forehead hurt, he rubbed his brows and sighed, "I'm taking advantage of our girl.
Not many people paid attention to me at the Chrysanthemum Banquet before, but this time it's really amazing.
They all look like my brothers.
It's so close.
Fortunately, Aluo Azhi helped me stop drinking, otherwise I would have had to ask someone to carry him back.
"Although he drank a little, luckily he was still sober.
"A bunch of snobs," Mrs.
Shen cursed those guys who made her husband drunk.
She made her husband drink a big bowl of hangover soup.
She took Cui'er to fetch warm water.
Mrs.
Shen helped her husband get into the cotton robe outside and helped him.
Go to bed, cover yourself with a quilt, wipe your head and face again, and ask, "Are you feeling better?"
He Gong said "hmm" and said, "Go and tell mother that I'm back."
"Go to sleep first, I'll ask Cui'er to talk."
Shen was afraid that he would have a headache, so she pressed the button on him gently.
He Gong was a good drinker, and he would sleep after drinking.
She didn't wake up until the evening because she was afraid that he would have insomnia after sleeping for a long time.
A drinker will feel dry mouth when he wakes up.
Shen poured him a large cup of warm water.
He Gong drank three cups in a row and felt better.
Shen asked, "Do you still have a headache?"
"It's okay."
He Gong was in good spirits.
He took the warm cloth handed over by Mrs.
Shen and wiped his face.
He smiled, "I showed my face this time, and someone asked me about my daughter's marriage.
It's really surprising.
What’s good.”
Mrs.
Shen smiled, "Where are we now?
These people are in such a hurry."
If there is a good family, Mrs.
Shen will seriously consider it, but what kind of good family can her daughter earn money like?
For a moment, Mrs.
Shen had no idea whether she was worthy of her daughter.
However, my daughter is still young, so she is not in a hurry.
Shen said, "You pay attention outside, and I will pay attention at home.
If there is a suitable family, let's talk about the third girl first.
It's another year, and next year the third girl will be sixteen."
He Gong said, "Wang's bastard, although he has suffered retribution now, he has affected the three girls."
Mrs.
Shen didn't say much about Mrs.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Wang, she found a clean robe and said, "Change your clothes.
Let's go to mother's place.
Mother is thinking about you.
While you were sleeping, Grandma Yu came over twice. ” Mrs.
He inevitably complained that her son drank too much and was harmful to his health.
He Gong smiled and said, "It's only this once in a year.
I didn't expect it."
He Lao Niang couldn't help but said, "I didn't expect it.
You are stupid and someone can force you to hold your head if you don't drink.
If you don't want to drink, just pretend to be drunk.
If anyone forces you to drink again, you will vomit all over him."
He Lao Niang gave When my son came up with the idea, I thought he was so stupid that he couldn't think of such a simple solution.
He Gong sneered.
Not only did his temperament resemble his father's, but his facial features were also similar.
Mrs.
He sighed and asked, "In addition to drinking at the county magistrate's house at noon, did you eat well?"
He Gong sighed, "Two plates of large crabs per table is very good, but I only had time to eat two shells of crab roe and a bowl of soup."
He was entertained and drank a lot of wine.
In fact, He Gong didn't know that he was too lazy to socialize so he had time to eat two shells of crab roe and a bowl of soup.
He was such a well-rounded person, how could he have time to focus on food, and he didn't really want to eat.
Of course, for He Gong, he just went to eat.
Mrs.
He smiled, "I asked Mrs.
Zhou to steam them.
I'll eat a few happily at night.
I'll have some more tomorrow."
He Gong was very good at coaxing his mother and smiled, "My mother still loves her son."
Mrs.
He replied with two words, "Bullshit" He Gong: gd1806102:
