Chapter 56 Finally the plum blossom

The three of them went to the yard together and looked at the apricot tree for a while. Ruhui walked around the apricot tree for a few times, picked a few apricots, and even made a gesture to climb up the tree. Huaishan didn't go to dissuade her, and she crawled for a few times before stopping.

Chen Fan looked at her unrestrained appearance and sighed that the children who grew up beside her mother were indeed different.

Next, she had a headache about giving gifts. She gave Huaishan a piece of agarwood, what should Ruhui give?

After standing in the yard for a while, they went back to the house to eat pastries, and Chen Fan entered the house with the excuse.

She opened the drawer and found a piece of golden nanmu as big as her palm. Nanmu is also a very expensive wood, resistant to corrosion and insects.

Chen Fan handed the wood to Ruhui and said, "I'll give you something to play with."

Ruhui's reaction was very supportive: "Did you give it to me? It's so great. What is this?"

She turned the piece of wood and could clearly see the water bubbles on the cut surface.

"Wow! So beautiful! It's crystal clear and transparent, like a water droplet. I'm going to take it outside to see it." She really ran to the yard and looked in the sun.

"Sister Four, look quickly. The light of the water droplets will flow. From here, one pattern, another pattern, it is changing all the time. It has a very nice smell."

Huaishan's expression was a little solemn: "Sister Chen gave me some expensive wood?"

Chen Fan smiled: "It's just a small piece. Take a look at home and don't take it outside." This golden nanmu is called the imperial wood and has always been used exclusively by the royal family. I wonder what the Daxiang Dynasty's attitude towards the golden nanmu is.

"Is this wood good for the body?" Ruhui asked.

"Yes. It is said that it has miraculous effects on health preservation and can improve life. It also has the effects of awakening the spleen and eliminating dampness, opening up the orifices and awakening the brain, calming the soul and calming the soul. You must keep it well."

"Thank you Sister Chen." Ruhui happily put the wood into the clothes bag.

In the evening, the sky was covered with dark clouds and strong winds. Ruhui blew and screamed: "The plum rain is coming! The plum rain is finally here!"

The wind was very strong, and the flowers, plants and trees in the yard kept swaying, and many apricots fell from the apricot trees. Ruhui was both excited and distressed, and hurriedly picked up handfuls after handfuls.

A group of people suddenly rushed in from the yard, including men, women, old and young. After they came in, they hurriedly saluted, called "Fourth Girl, Miss Chen", and set up two ladders, climbed up four, five, six or seven servants one after another. Several maids and mothers under the tree raised their long poles and net bags. Chen Fan was stunned.

Huaishan stood in the courtyard with a calm expression: "This is all instructed. I will pick all the apricot and plums that can be picked in the courtyards of the mansion in the past few days. At this time, they happened to come."

Chen Fan remembered that when Huaishan came for the first time, he looked at the tree and said that the apricots could be picked. With this rhythm of heavy rain, even if they were busy with other work, they would probably have to gather here temporarily.

Chen Fan watched them busy, and the baskets were filled soon after. There were two small baskets dedicated to the damaged apricots.

A flowerpot on the ground was blown down by the wind and rolled on the ground. A maid was picking up apricots. She turned around and chased them for two steps, picked them up, moved them under the eaves, and continued to pick up the apricots.

Ruhui was able to pick up her energy just now, but now she was standing there with her hand in her pocket. Chen Fan walked forward and helped lift the empty net bags one by one, and then took back the net bags filled with apricots.

She had poked loquats, persimmons and cherries before, but they were all small and fun. This was the first time that the apricots were collected in the net bags. The maids and servants didn't politely say to her, and continued to work hard on them after thanking her.

Chen Fan was a master with a long arms, and the servant on the height of the apricot tree was saved, and the picking speed was accelerated.

The apricots in a tree were picked in no time. The servants slipped down the tree, and everyone carried the baskets out of the yard and said goodbye.

Chen Fan once again experienced the efficiency of the Liu family throughout the whole process.

The sound of cicadas seemed to be more intense than the wind, and the sound was elongated. The sound of cicadas in each courtyard was rising one after another, which was very lively.

Finally, the heavy rain fell down, and it hit the ground and splashed smoke and dust. Chen Fan and the others had already stood under the eaves, watching the rain columns quickly weaving a dense net, and even the big apricot tree that was so close to them blurred their figures.

"The plum blossoms finally come to you, there is no need for drought." Huaishan breathed a long sigh.

That's right? It rained a few times during the Xiaoman season, and Yuanfeng County was breathing, but Shengping County next door was still in a hurry. The summer solstice was very suitable for the weather, and plum blossoms are coming again. It shouldn't be drought again this year, right?

But her duck houses have not been capped yet, and she is a little worried.

Liu Huaishan said to her as if she knew how to calculate, "You don't have to worry about the house. The rain won't rain all day long, and you can still work when the rain stops. The small house is more fast to build beams and tiles, so many carpenters can complete it in at most two days."

Ruhui looked at Chen Fan and said, "Sister Chen, my fourth sister and I haven't visited your field yet. When will we go and see it?"

Chen Fan glanced at Huaishan. Huaishan didn’t go on the day of construction. Is there any rule?

Huaishan smiled and looked at Ruhui and said, "It will take a while, and the results you see will be better after a while."
