Unlike the reserved attitude that day, Zhao's mother was quite depressed during this trip. When she returned, she reported to Mrs. Ning that He Zijin and her party had left yesterday. Mrs. Ning said to Grandma Ning Wu, "Even if you are busy in the future, you must not do this. Our relatives are kind-hearted and the girl came here. She said that she was younger and you would not have time. Sister Qi was fourteen years old and asked Sister Qi to help you treat guests. The little girls had something to say. How can I send a wife in charge to entertain relatives? I didn't leave a meal, so I let the family leave. When it came out, Mrs. Ning was so angry that she couldn't make a fuss. I don't know how many people were there. Although the family of Xiao Chen was a merchant family, Xiao Chen had been widowed for almost ten years, and she served her every day. She had a peaceful temperament and a strong heart.

As time went by, Mrs. Ning also felt a little pity for the little Chen family. The He family and the Ning family were not direct relatives. The He family and the Chen family were relatives, and the Chen family were married to the Ning family. Therefore, the He family and the Ning family were considered relatives who were turning around. Most of the relatives were like this these days, and they were circling around. What's more, Mrs. Ning was a clear-headed family. Although the He family was just a scholarly family, they had two good in-laws. One aunt Feng was He Xiucai's serious brother-in-law, and the other Shen Hanlin was He Xiucai's serious brother-in-law. These two, Mrs. Feng also had the same subject as her third son. What's more, both of them were taken care of by their sons when they were in the imperial capital. Mrs. Ning had never seen her, but she had met her daughter, Shen, and Mrs. Ning, who had made an appointment to meet her before the New Year. At this moment, she was vaguely not very much, but she also remembered that she was a beautiful woman.

Grandma Ning Wu didn't mention He Zijin to Mrs. Ning at all. Grandma Ning Wu saw that the two pots of green chrysanthemums were not bad, and said to Mrs. Zhao, "This green chrysanthemum is popular this year. A pair of green chrysanthemums were sold at the chrysanthemum fight party. I think this is not as good as that, but her appearance is not bad." She asked the maid to hug her and showed it to Mrs. Ning.

Mrs. Ning also said, "I saw the 800 taels of flowers in the Governor's Mansion and said I would send them to Xue Daru." Seeing that these two pots of green chrysanthemums were also very beautiful, I couldn't help but ask, "Which family sent them to me, this flower is good."

Grandma Ning Wu then said that it was sent by the eldest girl of the He family. Mrs. Ning didn't expect which He family it was. She asked Grandma Ning Wu in detail. Although Grandma Ning Wu was a family manager, she was not very clear about the matter between Uncle Yu Feng and Shen Su, so she said, "It was the He family in Bishui County, and she was a cousin of the Chen family."

Then Mrs. Ning thought about what kind of relative she and the He family were. After thinking about this relationship, she asked, "What about the He family girl?"

Grandma Ning Wu was smart at the house manager, so she felt that she was not very good at this time and hurriedly said, "Yesterday, the prefect's wife came over to speak. The wife went to the Governor's Mansion. I really couldn't get out of my body. Aunt Liu was not in good condition, so I asked Mom Zhao to accompany her. The girl from He family said a few words, gave her a gift list, and said goodbye."

Mrs. Ning ordered someone to find the gift list. Grandma Ning Wu said on the side, "I have sent these two pots of flowers and six baskets of crabs. I asked the kitchen to raise them. I'm busy these days and I don't have time to eat at home."

After the wife in charge found the gift list, Mrs. Ning said a few words to Grandma Ning Wu after seeing the gift list. Grandma Ning Wu hurriedly ordered someone to find He Zijin. Seeing that He Zijin was still in the prefecture, if he had to take a speech from the mansion, who knew that He Zijin had left yesterday. Mrs. Ning couldn't help but say a few words to Grandma Ning Wu. Thinking that someone came and gave these things, crabs were common, and this green chrysanthemum was a rare thing. She left without even leaving a meal. Mrs. Ning was a little dissatisfied.

It's too late to say anything now. Grandma Ning Wu was embarrassed and said, "After all, I'm young, and I'm not thinking well."

Mrs. Ning sighed, "Let me learn from one mistake."

Grandma Ning Wu responded with red cheeks.

Mrs. Ning Wu was scolded by Mrs. Ning, and turned around and scolded Mother Zhao again, angrily saying that Mother Zhao was not good at doing things, "Didn't I say I want to keep food? Why didn't you keep that little girl for food?"

At this time, the master obviously used himself as a punching bag, and Mama Zhao was not able to tell the difference, so she could only say, "It's me who was confused."

Mrs. Ning Wu scolded her a few words and expressed her depression slightly. She thought that she didn't know what was wrong with her wife, but she took a country girl to value her so much. Mrs. Ning Wu was suspicious and ordered her mother Zhao to find out what kind of family the He family was.

Seeing that his master was still using her, Zhao's mother hurriedly asked in fear.

In the evening, Mrs. Ning had something else to discuss with her husband, "The wife of the sixth daughter-in-law has been serving me over the years. She is sensible and has a stable temperament. At her age, and the sixth daughter-in-law must have a successor. It is better to adopt a child for Lao Liu, and the sixth daughter-in-law will have a support in the future." Mrs. Ning thought about this for many years, and Xiao Chen had thought about it for many years, but Mrs. Ning kept saying that there was no suitable child, so she was just dragging it down. Because of He Zijin's matter, Mrs. Ning thought that she was still alive now, and the fifth daughter-in-law was so neglected to Xiao Chen. He Zijin was serious and considered a relative of Xiao Chen. Even if Xiao Chen was not good, she should tell Xiao Chen, but Lao Chen's wife directly sent him away. If she was gone in the future, how could Xiao Chen gain a foothold? The widow had already guarded her son, so she could not lose too much to this daughter-in-law.

Mr. Ning remembered the Liuzi who died early, sighed and agreed, but said, "It's not easy to pick people in the big festival now. After the festival, I'll find an honest child. It's best not to be too old and ask Liu's wife to raise it. This is also her hope."

Mrs. Ning responded and asked someone to bring two pots of green chrysanthemums to her husband to put in a study to welcome guests. The literati and poets liked these things, and they were in line with the season. Mr. Ning asked with a smile, "Who sent it?"

Mrs. Ning would not say that her wife was not right in front of her husband, and said, "Miss He family said she came to the Prefecture to attend the chrysanthemum-double party. I guess it was the flowers she raised from her home. Have you seen her at the chrysanthemum-double party?"

Mr. Ning asked, "Which family?"

Mrs. Ning said, "The He family in Bishui County is a relative of the aunt and uncle in Chen's house. I came yesterday and was busy at home. I went to the Governor's Mansion. The governor of the family talked. The fifth family had no time to meet someone, so they asked them to go back like this. Every time I think about it, I feel a little uncomfortable. I heard that the girl of the He family is not old and looks like she is eleven or twelve years old. I heard the child say that he had met you at the Douju ​​Club, but he didn't recognize her at that time. Later, I learned that the two families were relatives and came to pay my respects."

Mr. Ning suddenly realized, "Ah, it turns out it's that girl."

Mr. Ning touched his beard, "I wondered if these two pots of green chrysanthemums look good. The two pots of green chrysanthemums at the chrysanthemum Dou Club were considered to be magical. I originally chose it. I ranked third in this chrysanthemum Dou Club, and I was considered a flower among the flowers."

Mrs. Ning said, "So, the 800 taels of silver was raised by this girl from the He family. Oh, I am really capable." Even if the Ning family is rich, Mrs. Ning is in charge of the family and will not regard the silver as dirt. Moreover, even though the 800 taels of silver does not fall into Mrs. Ning's eyes, Mrs. Ning knows that this is not a small amount.

"It's time to keep her talking," said Mr. Ning. A wealthy family like the Ning family, with many relatives, clans and friends, will naturally have more affairs. With more people coming every day, not everyone can see the true Buddha. He Zijin came alone, and was young, and the things he gave were not arranged. He also spent a few baskets of crabs. It's not that the Ning family underestimated it. The main reason is that the Ning family is too busy.

Mrs. Ning sighed, "I say the same thing. The little girl's family has come so far away, and she is a relative again. It's too late to say this now. Miss He has gone home. Let's talk about it later." Although she felt a little rude, it was not a big deal. Mrs. Ning looked at the two pots of green chrysanthemums and said, "She is precious, so it's not easy to accept her for nothing. Why don't you ask the fifth wife to back up the gift and ask Chen's family to take it there."

"It's done." Mr. Ning nodded, said nothing more, turned around and admired the flowers.

As expected, He Zijin and his group had a rest in Ping'an Town for a night and arrived at home the next afternoon.

As soon as He Zijin entered the door, the yard was so lively. There was an Eight Immortals table in the middle of the yard and a pot of green chrysanthemums in the middle. Before the Double Ninth Festival was coming, half of the yard was surrounded by old women to visit the chrysanthemums.

Cui'er couldn't even squeeze in outside, so she had no choice but to shout, "Madam, our big girl is back!"

Half the yard immediately threw down the chrysanthemums and changed to watching He Zijin. Compared to the hundreds of taels of chrysanthemums, people like He Zijin are more precious! He Zijin held a bag in his arms and looked around and saw familiar faces, either relatives or clan members, or clan members, or common acquaintances in the county. He had warm and joyful faces, while watching He Zijin, talking in a lingering manner, "Oh, Zijin is back! Are you tired! Come in and sit in a seat." He turned his back, as if this was her family.

"Yes, this girl is really promising!"

"My mother, Zijin, I heard that you sold 800 taels of flowers in one pot. Is it true, is it true?"

"Zi Jin, my girl also likes to plant flowers. You can take her as an apprentice and teach her."

...

Anyway, He Zijin was treated unprecedentedly. He Zijin didn't know which sentence to say these people. He Zijin didn't know which sentence to take. He still ordered Madam Yu to put the flowers in the house first, then stood up, waved her hand, and said, "My girl just came back from the prefecture, didn't drink a sip of tea or a sip of rice. She was very tired. I'll enjoy the chrysanthemums today, and come again when I have time!" She chased people directly!

Shen sent away some relatives and tribesmen who were reluctant to leave. Old Madam He smiled brighter than the chrysanthemum. He held He Zijin's hand and didn't let go. He held his girl's hand in both hands and kissed him and took the person into the room, letting He Zijin sit on the couch with her. Old Madam He was so happy that she had already squinting eyes. Now she smiled fiercely and narrowed into a line. Old Madam He looked at He Zijin and was happy for a while and asked, "Are you back?"

"Um."

“It’s okay on the road?”

"fine."

"Are you hungry?"

"Not hungry." I ate a lot of snacks on the way.

"Are you thirsty?"

"good."

Madam Yu is a careful person and poured a cup of warm tea for He Zijin.

Since she was not thirsty and not hungry, Old Madam He smiled and sharpened her knife, shouting loudly, "Then hand over the money!"

He Zijin almost sprayed his tea on the ground!
