The next day, He Zijin asked Shen Shan to deliver the post to Li's house in Furongfang.
In fact, the posts and so on were made by He Zijin and her father at home before coming here.
In the small place of Bishui County, they don't pay much attention to this, but it is different in the state capital, where the rules of the big place are everywhere.
It would be considered rude to come directly to the door without handing over the post first.
The father and daughter were originally rustics from a small place, and they paid more attention to etiquette to avoid being looked down upon by others.
After the Li family heard back, the father and daughter discussed it and went to visit the Li family the next day.
Li Wuye invited He Gong to the study.
Jiang held He Zijin's hand, smiled at He Zijin and said, "It's been a few days since we last seen each other, and we've grown taller again."
He asked, "I guess you should too."
Arrived, when did it arrive?”
He Zijin smiled, "I arrived at noon, but the dust has not been swept away, so I can't come and disturb you."
Jiang took He Zijin to his courtyard and ordered the maid with a smile, "Tell Mr.
Li that guests are coming today.
Please suspend your homework for the day and invite the girls to come over and meet the guests."
After entering the house and sitting down, He Zijin first handed over the gift list and said, "Double Ninth Festival, my mother prepared this before coming.
Some mountain products are not expensive, it is our intention."
Jiang ordered the maid next to her to take the answer and said with a smile, "Your mother is too polite.
Speaking of which, when I was a child, I often went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables in spring.
When the weather gets warmer, there are wild fruits.
In autumn and winter, I get up early in the morning.
Go pick up wild chestnut mountain persimmons.”
He Zijin continued, "There are mushrooms and fungus after the rain.
You can make a dish by touching some snails in the river."
There was a trace of aftertaste in Jiang's eyes, and she smiled, "Yes, I thought it was extremely hard before, but now that I think about it, it's not very interesting at all."
The maid brought fruit snacks and a cup of hot milk.
Jiang smiled and said, "You are still young and it is cold today.
Instead of drinking tea, drink milk."
He Zijin smiled, "Thank you for making special preparations."
"It's not that I specially prepared it.
I heard that drinking milk will make your children fairer.
It's hard for me to be fair at this age, so I often give some to my sisters."
Jiang is a handsome man, but his skin color has a slight tinge.
The honey color is still a little different from those pampered ladies.
He Zijin took a sip of milk.
It had no fishy smell, but had a hint of cinnamon.
It tasted quite good.
She said, "At the Chrysanthemum Fighting Festival, all kinds of chrysanthemums compete for beauty.
Which one looks good and which one doesn't look good.
Flowers are the same, and people are the same."
Even though she knew that He Zijin meant to compliment him, Jiang couldn't help but smile.
She wouldn't feel inferior to others, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to marry for the second time.
Jiang smiled, "I heard from Ah Zhi that your flowers are growing well this year."
Ah Zhi was the gardener Jiang sent to Bishui County to look at flowers, and he was very knowledgeable.
He Zijin looked at Mr.
Jiang and drank the milk sip after sip.

Mr.
Jiang continued, "It's just that I heard that several companies also raised green chrysanthemums this year."
He Zijin asked calmly, "Have you seen their flowers?"
Jiang said, "That's not true.
They are all hidden tightly."
"Chrysanthemums are easy to survive by cutting.
I gave away four of the four pots sold last year.
Now other people also have green chrysanthemums, which is normal."
He Zijin said, "I have thought of this for a long time."
He Zijin is still young, has a sweet mouth, knows how to compliment people, and is a slippery person.
However, he has a steady temperament when it comes to serious matters.
As soon as she said these words, Jiang Shi was relieved and smiled, "You have something in mind, I I feel relieved.”
He Zijin put down the porcelain cup in his hand and smiled, "Don't worry, it's difficult to distinguish a pot of green chrysanthemums from a pot of black chrysanthemums.
After all, each flower attracts different eyes.
But if there are two pots of green chrysanthemums, It would be much easier if we put it in one place, wouldn’t it?”
Jiang said, "Fortunately, I asked Brother Xin to introduce you and me to Furongfang."
He Zijin said, "Getting to know you will broaden my horizons."
While the two were talking, two girls came together.
One was older and about the same height as He Zijin, the other was younger, about five or six years old, and her eyebrows were somewhat similar to Jiang's.
Jiang called the two girls to come over, introduced them personally, and said with a smile, "This is why I mentioned to you that our eldest sister from the He family is also twelve years old, so you are the same age."
Miss Li's delicate features and gentle smile make people fall in love with her at first sight.
She looked at He Zijin with a smile and said, "I am born on the third day of March."
He Zijin smiled, "Then I will give my eldest sister a month's rest.
I was born on February 2nd."
Jiang couldn't help but said, "You two, one was born on the Dragon's Head, and the other was born on the Shangsi Festival.
They are both festival days.
This is also a natural fate."
The two of them also felt that it was a coincidence and couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
Jiang's daughter, Jiang Ying, is younger and still looks like a dumpling.
She likes to pretend to be an adult by making milky sounds, which is very interesting.
When he first came to visit, He Zijin wanted to say something and then left.
Jiang needed to stay for dinner, so the father and daughter had lunch at Li's house before leaving.
Miss Li smiled and said, "Sister must be busy these days.
After the chrysanthemum fighting party, I will go see my sister to play.
Let's go shopping in Fucheng together."
"That's good."
He Zijin was talking to Miss Li.
Outside, Chen Shan's daughter-in-law Zhang came in and said that He Gong was waiting outside.
He Zijin said goodbye to Jiang again, and Jiang ordered the maid to send He Zijin out. .
He Gong smelled slightly of alcohol, and He Zijin asked, "Dad, are you drinking?"
He Gong smiled, "I had a couple of drinks, not much."
He Gong smiled and asked, "How was your lunch?"
"It's good.
I didn't drink."
He Zijin came closer and asked, "What kind of wine did you drink, chrysanthemum wine?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He Gong doesn't drink much on weekdays.
He said honestly, "Actually, I don't know.
It's almost the same as our wine."
He Zijin always remembered one thing after another.
When it came to wine, she said, "Dad, when my brother is born, next year we will make some wine and bury it underground.
After ten or twenty years, we will wait for my brother."
It will be fun to dig it out and drink it when you get married. " Drinking is an elegant thing.
He Gong has no objection to making wine.
Nowadays, his family's life is easy, it's just about using more rice.
He Gong poured a cup of tea and took a sip and asked, "You know how to make wine?"
but he didn't.
He Zijin said, "This is not difficult.
Wine will not go bad.
If it goes bad, it just becomes sour and turns into vinegar.
Vinegar left for more than ten years is also old vinegar."
He Gongxian squirted the tea and smiled, "Just stop being a treasure."
He Zijin asked, "Dad, did you hear that?"
"I heard it."
He Gong, always good-tempered, smiled, "Brew it, brew it, it's all for drinking anyway."
Returning to the Chen family courtyard, He Zijin ordered the maid to go to the kitchen to cook some sobering soup.
He Gonglian said no, but He Zijin urged him to drink two cups of sobering soup and rest on the bed.
He Gong did not forget to say, "You should also go and have a rest."
He Zijin agreed and put a cup of warm water on the table in front of the bed for his father before returning to his room.
Ms.
Zhang came over and said, "My family went to the Ning family this morning to deliver the post.
The Ning family sent me a reply and asked the young man and girl to come and talk tomorrow."
He Zijin smiled, "That's good.
Brother Laoshan told the steward in advance that we will use the car tomorrow."
Zhang smiled, "My family has already said that."
He Zijin said, "There is nothing to do today.
Sister-in-law, go and have a rest."
Mrs.
Zhang said a few more words, and then went down after seeing that the maids in He Zijin's room were serving her well.
The He family's father and daughter lived in the Chen family's annex.
Chen Dalang was well-informed, so he asked He Gong in the evening, "Will my cousin go to the Ning family tomorrow?"
He Gongxiao said, "Yes, after the chrysanthemum fighting party is over, I will take Zijin home.
Otherwise, the old and young at home will be really worried.
I just thought that the relatives and friends who should move around should go first
.
" "
Chen Dalang smiled, "That's just right.
Let's go together.
My father and I also want to go there tomorrow."
He Gong should be fine of course.
On the other hand, He Zijin raised his eyebrows but said nothing when he heard that he was going to Ning's house with the Chen family the next day.

This is not the first time He Zijin has come to the Ning family.
Compared with the Li family, the Ning family is actually nothing but rich and noble.
This time the Ning family was really polite.
They meant to receive relatives without any slightest care.
He Zijin was a girl and was directly taken into the inner house by her mother-in-law.
This was the first time that He Zijin met Mrs.
Ning.
Mrs.
Ning was sitting on a long soft couch with hundreds of children and grandchildren.
She should be similar in age to Aunt Chen, but she looked like she was ten years younger than Aunt Chen.
Her charm was well maintained.
From the eyebrows to the skin color to the dress, you can see what a truly wealthy family is.
Sitting under Mrs.
Ning were two young women, one in a concubine-colored dress, and the other in a navy blue dress.
After He Zijin glanced at it, he knew clearly that the one in the concubine-colored dress was the fifth grandma of the Ning family, and the other was the fifth grandma of the Ning family.
One is Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen has been a widow since she married the Ning family.
Now that the Double Ninth Festival is approaching and there are elders in the house, it is not easy to dress too plainly, but if it is too fancy, it will go against her identity.
He Zijin first greeted Mrs.
Ning, and then greeted Grandma Ning Wu and Grandma Ning Liu, Xiao Chen.
Grandma Ning Wu smiled and held He Zijin's hand, looked her up and down with a smile, and said, "Oh "This girl is really good-looking."
He Zijin bowed slightly and said, "You're too kind."
Mrs.
Ning smiled, "She is a good girl."
She stretched out her hand and asked He Zijin to sit next to her.
She has met a lot of girls in her old life, and she even vaguely remembers what happened when Mrs.
Shen accompanied Aunt Chen to the Ning family more than ten years ago.
At that time, she felt that although Mr.
Shen was born in the countryside and was a bit rustic, he had good facial features and was a smart person.
Looking at He Zijin now, he is different from Mr.
Shen at that time.
No matter the etiquette or behavior, he is very different.
What's rare is that during my first visit, he was very generous and not at all petty.
Mrs.
Ning would not be surprised if this girl came from a similar family background to the Ning family.
She also knew a little bit about the He family's family background, but it was rare for a small family to raise a daughter to be so generous.
Mrs.
Ning smiled and held He Zijin's hand.
It was soft and smooth, showing that she had never done any rough work, and asked, "Your great-aunt is not here."
He Zijin said casually, "My eldest cousin is about to leave the government, and my great-aunt is very reluctant to leave her, so she didn't come here this time.
Before I came, my great-aunt asked me to say hello to you on her behalf."
Mrs.
Ning smiled, "Okay, your great-aunt is great, your grandmother is great."
"Everything is fine at home.
It's just that we live in the countryside and have limited mobility.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
We can't come to Fucheng to visit you often.
Today is the holiday.
Before I came, my grandmother prepared some mountain products and asked me to bring them.
It's not worth anything.
Please have a taste of the wild food. ."
He Zijin presented the gift list.
Mrs.
Ning took the order and said with a smile, "I'd like to thank your grandmother for thinking about it."
She then asked how many younger siblings were in He Zijin's family.
Knowing that the children of the He family were all studying in the academy, Mrs.
Ning smiled and said, "There are so many children in the house."
Read some books.
The imperial court has implemented benevolent policies, and now there are academies in the county.
If you read more, you will be able to understand things."
"That's what you said."
Grandma Ning Wu suddenly said, "Madam, the person who came home with our Ajie last time was a descendant named He, named He Luo.
Isn't it from my sister's natal family?
They both have the same surname as He, and they are the same as Zi Jin.
Not of the same race" He Zijin said, "The fifth grandma is talking about brother Luo.
Brother Luo went to Qingcheng Mountain to study.
Could it be that your young master also studied there?"
The place where He Luo studied was recommended to him by Shen Suyi Jin when he returned home.
It was a very famous place.
Mr.
Xue lives in Qingcheng Mountain.
Brother-in-law Feng recommended him to Shen Su at first, and when Shen Su returned home after gaining fame, he recommended him to He Luo.
He Luo was selected as a scholar, and after staying at home for a few months, he went to Qingcheng Mountain to study, rarely going home.
Grandma Ning Wu smiled, "I just thought there is such a coincidence.
One place, one surname, most of them are from the same clan.
Look, I know it as soon as I mention Zijin."
Mrs.
Chen looked at He Zijin, her eyebrows were light, and she said softly, "I don't recognize most of their children of the younger generation."
Mrs.
Ning smiled, "We are not from the same generation.
You have been married to our family for more than ten years, and you already recognize each other.
Zijin, on the other hand, is about the same age as A Luo, and they are brothers and sisters of the same race.
I think this is common when we were young."
Just by calling him, you know he is very familiar.
"Brother Luo and I grew up together.
Later, when we got older, we stopped playing together."
He Zijin said, "Now that Brother Luo is studying in Qingcheng Mountain, we see less of him."
When it comes to studying, there are many common topics.
For example, when it comes to studying in Qingcheng Mountain, the Ning family also has children studying in Qingcheng Mountain.
Speaking of Mr.
Xue, a great scholar in Qingcheng Mountain, He Zijin also said, "My uncle also once I received guidance from Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Xue."
Then another sentence. , "It turns out that my uncle asked my uncle to study under Mr.
Sir, I am destined."
This indirectly shows that she is also an educated young girl.
Anyway, as soon as the call ended, Mrs.
Ning and Grandma Ning Wu both thought: Oh, although the He family is a small family, the family customs are pretty good.
Although He Zijin's father is only a scholar so far, he still has a serious reputation.
All the children of the He family are studying.
Even a girl like He Zijin is literate, educated and knows the rules.
Even in the clan, there is a young man like He Luo who is good at reading.
The He family also has several good relatives.
Both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law come from scholarly families.
The more I feel that the He family is still a kind of relative who can get along with each other.
After chatting in this way, He Zijin had lunch at Ning's house.
Before leaving, Mrs.
Ning said, "Several girls in my family were invited to the Governor's Mansion, otherwise you must have hit it off."
He Zijin smiled, "I will come over to pay you respects next year.
I'm not afraid of not being able to see you."
Everyone joked a little more, and Mrs.
Ning ordered the maid and her mother-in-law to send He Zijin off happily.
After visiting Li Jia Ning's house, He Zijin was at ease tending flowers and plants in the Chen family's courtyard.
He had participated in the Jubilee Festival last year, so he had some experience.
This time, He Zijin also paired it with a flower pot.
The flower pot was specially made.
The style designed by Taoist priest Chaoyun was said by Taoist priest Chao Yun to be simple and elegant.
These four words are all taken up, which shows that he is a flower pot.
How good is the basin?
He Zijin didn't see anything simple and elegant, but she admitted that it was better than the ten cents a piece on the street.
On the day of the chrysanthemum fighting party, Furongfang sent carriages and horses to pick up the flowers.
Because He Zijin was among the top three in the previous session, he did not need to participate in the qualifiers this time and went directly to the finals on the last day.
With Furongfang coming forward, He Zijin no longer had to show his face.
The father and daughter had planned to go shopping in the street early in the morning.
He Zijin had already planned what to buy, where to eat, and where to play.
With her strong legs climbing mountains every day, she had a lot of fun shopping and almost broke her father's leg.
Seeing that his daughter was in high spirits, He Gong also wanted to accompany her for a walk around the city.
He gritted his teeth and held on until dark in the evening.
When he returned to the other courtyard, he could no longer move his legs.
Shen Shan was supporting her when they got off the car.
He Zijin held her father's other arm and said in a heartless voice, "Dad, you just lack exercise.
You are just thirty, and you can't hold on even after walking for a day." ” Zhang laughed, "I feel my feet are sore.
I'm a student, so of course it's different.
But the girl has good feet."
He Zijin raised his eyebrows proudly, "I practiced climbing mountains."
As soon as we got off the bus, a steward came over with a happy face to announce the good news, "My dear cousin, you came out on top in the chrysanthemum competition this time.
Oh, it's so amazing that even the prince praised you for raising flowers well."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Then he started flattering me.
He Gong and He Zijin were both full of joy.
He Zijin asked, "Has the steward of Furongfang been here?"
The steward of the other hospital said quickly, "Steward Li from Furongfang has been waiting for the girl."
He Gong said to his daughter, "Let's go see Manager Li first."
He Zijin said to the steward of the other hospital, "Let steward Li come in and talk."
He Zijin helped her father back to his room.
Manager Li arrived soon.
Just as he was about to salute, He Zijin said, "Don't be so polite.
Sit down.
You've had a hard day today."
Manager Li sat down, couldn't help but smile, "Girl, the flowers are well raised, I would rather work like this every year."
He put the mahogany box in his arms with both hands, and said, "Grandma said, girl It may be used for flowers.
Here is one hundred taels of cash.
The remaining nine hundred taels have been deposited in the bank and converted into silver notes.
It is convenient for the girl to carry it. " "Your grandma is always so considerate."
Looking at Mrs.
Zhang, she stepped forward to accept it.
He Zijin asked, "How can we sell it at such a high price?
It's an exaggeration."
Manager Li smiled, "It's a coincidence.
The young prince took over the throne on behalf of the King of Shu.
At this chrysanthemum fighting party, the governor invited the young prince to go with him.
When the young prince saw our flowers, he said, "This is such a green flower."
This is the first time that Juhua has directly given him the first name.
The young prince has his own support.”
It could not be said that someone bought it to honor the young prince.
He Zijin added something deep in his heart and asked Manager Li, "On the day we came, we saw the king entering the city.
It turned out to be the young prince, not the king of Shu?"
Manager Li smiled, "At first I thought it was the prince.
Today I had the honor to take a look at it from a distance at the chrysanthemum fighting party.
It turned out to be the young prince.
After asking around, I found out that the prince had something to do in the imperial capital, so he sent the young prince over first.
"Seeing that He Zijin seemed to be interested in this, Manager Li said a few more words, "I heard that this young prince is only seven or eight years old.
He is really young and can already guard the domain for the prince. " He Zijin smiled, "It seems that we have the young prince's blessing this time."
"Yes."
Manager Li smiled, "Grandma said I would like to have a drink for the girl to celebrate.
It would be nice to invite the girl over for a fun day."
He Zijin thought for a while and said with a smile, "Look at me at this age, I don't look like I can drink.
Besides, I just raised two pots of flowers.
This time it is probably because of my good luck.
I and I As long as we understand each other well about your cooperation with Furongfang.
I want this reputation to be useless, just let the world know about Furongfang.
If your grandma serves wine and brings a delicious meal to me, she can participate in the chrysanthemum fighting party and rely on Manager Li to take care of everything inside and outside.
There is no such thing as too much hard work.”

Manager Li hurriedly said, "I'm just doing odd jobs for the girl.
It's my duty to be attentive."
He Zijin smiled, "Everyone is happy now, and none of us have been busy in vain."
Manager Li was also relieved and smiled, "Yes."
"It's getting late, has Manager Li eaten?"
"I just used it."
Manager Li stood up, "The girl came back from outside and hasn't had a rest yet.
I've bothered her for a long time."
He Zijin smiled, "I'm thinking about it myself, so I can't say whether I'm disturbing or not."
He said to Zhang, "Take twenty taels of silver."
He stretched out his hand and handed it to Manager Li, who said without waiting for his refusal, "I'm going to the Douju Club today.
Guys, please give them some points, don’t let them work in vain.
It’s a happy event, so enjoy it.”
Manager Li bowed his head and said, "I'll thank you for the reward on their behalf."
Fang accepted it with both hands.
Manager Li added, "I heard that the girl wanted to go home after the chrysanthemum fight.
I have decided to come and see her off when the date comes."
He Zijin discussed with her father, "Dad, should we leave tomorrow or leave later?"
He Gong said, "Tomorrow is a bit more urgent, so let's leave it for one more day, the day after tomorrow."
Manager Li stood up to say goodbye, and Shen Shan personally saw him off.
At this moment, He Zijin picked up the money box, opened it, took out thirty taels, and said to Zhang, "Sister-in-law Zhang, you and Brother Shan will keep the twenty taels, and send the ten taels to the serving girls in the courtyard.
Mother-in-law.”
Mrs.
Zhang went to see He Gong first.
He Gong laughed and said, "Zijin gives it to you, just keep it.
Our trip is not in vain."
He Gong is not a person who is extravagant and generous, but he also understands the ways of the world. , even Manager Li was rewarded, so there was no reason to be short-changed by one of his own.
What's more, the flowers were sold at a high price, so even if he was rewarded with more flowers, he wouldn't feel too bad.
Mrs.
Zhang thanked her again and said, "I'll exchange it for some loose silver tomorrow."
The box of cash that Manager Li brought was all five silver ingots.
They were very neat, but it was inconvenient to spend them. of.
He Zijin smiled, "It's okay, there's no rush.
We've been shopping all day, and my sister-in-law should go have a meal too.
She doesn't have to come over for a while.
She should rest early.
We'll go out for half a day of shopping tomorrow."
Mrs.
Zhang responded repeatedly and said, "I'll ask the kitchen to bring hot water.
I'll burn my feet to make them feel tired."
She stepped back with a smile on her face.
The father and daughter first collected the banknotes.
Before He Gong went out, Shen sewed a hidden pocket on his coat.
The silver box was placed next to the pillow and the money was placed.
He Zijin snickered.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He Gongyi smiled and said, "I am so happy after making money."
He Zijin looked secretly happy and said quietly to her father, "I originally thought that this flower appeared once last year, so it's not new this time.
If you can sell it for three or two hundred silver, you will have a high fever."
"It's fragrant.
Who knew we could get so much money?
There are still two pots on consignment in Furongfang.
Dad, we are really rich this time."
He Zijin's eyes lit up.
He Gong is not a saint yet, but even if he is a saint, he will not regard money as dirt.
He was naturally happy that the flowers that his daughter had worked hard to raise for a year were sold at a good price.
However, seeing He Zijin's elf and money-obsessed look, He Gong was quite amused and couldn't help but pat her head and said, "Good luck. " "Yes."
He Zijin nodded heavily, "The Prince of Shu's Mansion is our family's lucky star." gd1806102:
