Chapter 57: Zhuangzi's Journey (1)
After the family happily ate the cake, brothers Wenbo and Wenhao took out the birthday gifts they had prepared for Li Xin. Wenbo gave him a silver hairpin with a plum blossom pattern carved on it. Although it was a bit ordinary, it was
Li Xin still liked it very much. After all, it was a gift from her brother! Speaking of which, when she came here, she really didn’t own any jewelry. She didn’t have any jewelry before. As she gradually gained money, she didn’t think about how much she would buy.
Such jewelry. Maybe it’s because she doesn’t like to dress up!
What Wen Hao sent was a box of rouge, with a light lotus color and some lotus fragrance. It smelled really good. Even Yuexiang also prepared a handkerchief, saying that he embroidered it himself.
"If the embroidery is not good, please don't dislike it, sister."
"How could it be bad? Our Yuexiang embroidery is the best." Li Xin looked carefully at the handkerchief in his hand. The embroidery on it was a plum blossom. Although the skill was not yet skillful, the stitches were fine and neat, which was considered very good.
I didn’t expect Yuexiang to be able to embroider at such a young age. She is really much worse than Yuexiang. Let alone embroidery, she can only sew clothes at most, and the stitches are not very neat. Speaking of embroidery
It’s just a cross-stitch thing in her previous life. When Yuexiang grows up, she must be a very virtuous person!
"Sister, I don't have anything." Yueting looked at Li Xin with some embarrassment as her brothers and sisters prepared gifts for her eldest sister.
"Yue Ting is still young! Let's talk about it later." In fact, her brothers and sisters are the best gifts God has given her. She never imagined that she would be able to start her life over again, and she would have a warm home again.
The family played around for a while, and then Li Xin sent everyone to have a rest. Children need enough sleep. Wenbo and Wenhao have to go to the academy early tomorrow morning. If they sleep too late, they will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow. Freshen up.
After that, they went back to their houses to sleep.
Early the next morning, Li Xin got up to prepare breakfast. Pinxiang Pavilion did not do breakfast business, so on weekdays, Wenbo and Wenhao just bought something to eat on the street. Since she was in town today, she naturally wanted to
Make a good meal. You should still find someone to take care of Wenbo and Wenhao. Now that she has bought everyone in the village, she may be able to choose someone who is good at housework to take care of Wenbo and Wenhao. It is actually not good to eat out all the time.
It's a long-term solution, and if someone takes care of them, she can feel more at ease.
After getting up and having breakfast, Wenbo and Wenhao went out to the academy. Li Xin took Yuexiang around to clean up, while Zhu Yong was assigned by Li Xin to pick lotus pods. The lotus flowers in the pond grew well, and the lotus roots were also big.
Yes, it makes people like it just by looking at it. When you peel off the lotus pods, there are fresh lotus seeds inside. Take a bite, they are sweet and crispy, fresh in taste, and really delicious. There are still many lotus pods growing in the lotus pond.
Yes, you should be able to harvest a lot of lotus seeds. Take out the lotus seeds, peel off the shell, take out the lotus heart, dry it and keep it, and you can make various things to eat.
Because the lotus heart is bitter, usually the lotus heart will be dug out when eating lotus seeds.
At noon, Li Xin also went out and asked a tailor from the town to come over in the evening. When the tailor arrived at the house, Li Xin asked the tailor to measure his three sisters so that they could make clothes. Wait.
After they had finished measuring, Wenbo and Wenhao also came back, so they also measured it for Wenbo and Wenhao. When he went to the county, Li Xin bought a lot of good fabrics and came back, thinking about giving them to his siblings.
to make some clothes.
In the past, my family was poor and couldn't afford new clothes. Now that life is better, everyone has to make more clothes. Since I do, I make a few clothes for each season. I bought a lot of fabric, which is enough.
There are a lot of clothes. Unfortunately, there is no cotton here, and there are no cotton-padded jackets to wear in winter. So I can only make two more layers of various materials woven from silk, or wear a few more pieces.
There was a lot to do, so the tailor was naturally very happy. He measured the sizes of several people, took the deposit, and left happily holding the fabrics.
After that, Li Xin took his two younger sisters to live in the town, and occasionally went back to Guihua Village. When Wenbo and Wenhao had a break, Li Xin took several younger brothers and sisters to Zhuangzi. If he could go to Zhuangzi
Everyone was very happy. Wenbo and Wenhao had never been there before, so they were very curious. Yueting and Yuexiang also liked to play in Zhuangzi. The servants in Zhuangzi also had children at home, so the two sisters went to Zhuangzi.
Many friends came to play, and naturally they were very happy.
After entering Zhuangzi, Wenbo and Wenhao looked around curiously.
"This Zhuangzi is so big!" Wen Hao looked around and felt that his eyes were not strong enough. There was so much land that he couldn't even see the end of it at a glance. So many fields really belong to their family! It's so like.
It's like a dream.
"Yes! There are more than 600 acres of fields, which must be big. Let's take a look around later! There is also a large fruit forest, more than 30 acres, with various kinds of trees planted in it.
Fruit, next year, our family will have a lot of fruit to eat." Li Xin rubbed Wen Hao's head lovingly.
The carriage drove directly into the village, and the roads inside were wide enough for carriages to pass. It seemed that Zheng Xing was quite smart. The village was too big, and walking in it was really tiring. The roads inside were very tiring for carriages.
If it can pass through, it will be much more convenient. Every time the grain is collected, the carriage can be transported directly in and out, which saves the need to manually transport the grain to the gate of Zhuangzi.
"So much! Then we have endless fruit to eat."
"Yes! There are endless fruits, so I'll make sure you eat them all. When the fruits are ripe, we will stay here for a while so that you can all eat them well."
"Yeah!"
The carriage stopped in front of the house, and Li Xin took Wenbo and the others into the house. The house was built very exquisitely and beautifully, and the yard was filled with well-known and unknown flowers, many of which were in bloom at this time.
, although there is no scene of hundreds of flowers blooming in spring, it is still colorful and beautiful.
"This house is really beautiful." Wenbo sighed as he walked.
"That's not all! There is a big garden at the back, which is really beautiful." Yuexiang also agreed.
"Yuexiang, take your eldest brother, second brother and Yueting to see around! You can also go to the garden behind to play."
"Okay." Yuexiang responded, and went with Wenbo, Wenhao and Yueting. After they left, Li Xin asked the people waiting in the house to invite the royal couple to come over.
