50. Listen to mother's words and have sugar to eat
He rarely expressed his support for He Zijin's flower cultivation career, and He Zijin did not forget to take this opportunity to criticize He. Moreover, He Zijin's reason was very sufficient, "Grandma didn't know how much it took to grow flowers. It was easy to water and fertilize, but it was difficult to make. What kind of flowers should be used for and what kind of fertilizer and soil are all of them. Which flowers should be watered more and like shade, which flowers should be watered less and like sunshine, and there are also precious varieties that cannot be watered more or less, let alone watered less. Grandma said it was easy, but it was very difficult to make. If grandma wanted to sell more flowers in the future, she would have to invest a little."
When he heard that He Zijin wanted money, Old Mother He immediately looked stern, "Invest? What to invest?"
"Just money." He Zijin ignored Mrs. He's black face and spread his little hands to analyze with Mrs. He, "Who would spend money to buy ordinary flowers and plants? Those who can spend money to buy are all expensive flowers and plants. I won't tell you the price of famous flowers and plants, and I will scare you if you say it. My uncle said that in the past, someone in the prefecture sold a spring orchid for 500 taels of silver. Do you think it's expensive?"
Old Madam He was amazed at her tongue, but she didn't believe it, "How is it possible? Just a broken flower can be sold for 500 taels?" Is this a fool who bought the flowers?
He Zijin squinted his eyes and snorted, "Is it still a broken flower? How much did my grandmother sell my green chrysanthemum? I asked my grandmother, that's a broken flower? You should raise one for me."
Old Mother He paused He Zijin. She had a benefit. It was related to money. She would never pretend to understand. If she didn't understand, she would ask clearly. Old Mother He asked He Zijin, "You said that's right, why are these flowers and plants more expensive than fish?"
He Zijin said, "Grandma doesn't think about it. The season when you asked Xiao Fuzi to sell it is just before the Double Ninth Festival. How can ordinary people buy such expensive flowers? Some people rarely use it themselves, and most of them are used to give gifts. So there is a market before the festival, so you can sell it at a high price. If you try it now, it will definitely be difficult to buy it."
"Oh!" Old Madam He tsk twice and looked at He Zijin, "I'm really a spirit, I know that." The child's head was indeed enlightened.
"I don't know, grandmother, can you make a fortune?" He Zijin and He said, "If grandmother, you want to continue making money, you have to invest a little. You always sell the money and can't pay a penny, and I'm not going to raise this flower. Besides, this pot of green chrysanthemum is a seedling given to me by my uncle, and there will be no such thing in the future. If grandmother gives me some money, I will buy some other flower seedlings. Next year, my grandmother will be able to sell more pots and get more silver than this year, right?"
When he heard that he wanted to give He Zijin silver, Old Madam He felt so distressed and said vaguely, "Your pot of broken flowers didn't cost much."
"Accumulate less and make more. As long as my grandmother can deduct it, I don't think it's too little." Just take it with money. He Zijin is content and always happy.
"Are there still a pot of green flowers? After the seeds of the flowers, you can get a lot of pots. Where can I give you money?" In a word, Mrs. He doesn't want to pay for money~
He Zijin had to popularize some knowledge on flower cultivation for investors, "If chrysanthemums don't get seeds, they need to be cut. My pot of flowers is still small, and I have to wait for next year. If my grandmother wants to sell flowers, she has to wait for the next year. Even if she is afraid that the flowers will not be able to grow well, she has to wait for the next year. If my grandmother is willing to wait, I have no objection."
Mrs. He thought for a while and asked, "If you give you money, how many pots of flowers can be sold next year! It's the same as it is."
"Depending on how much money my grandmother gave me, it can at least double it. I can do this with my grandmother."
Mrs. He still didn't believe it, "Is it true or false?"
"If you don't believe it, forget it." He Zijin clapped his hands, looking indifferent. "I thought my grandmother loved me like this and asked me to study at my aunt's house. I gave you the green chrysanthemum. I didn't say anything after you sold it. If you don't believe it, I don't raise these expensive flowers, just raise some mainland goods. If you don't sell them, you can just watch it at home. Grandma, you don't have to give me money, I don't have to buy flowers."
Old Madam He's face was red and green for a while, and she ignored He Zijin's aggressiveness. She was so old that she was not careful about other things, but only the matters on money were very cautious, and it would never be decided by He Zijin in just a few words.
He Zijin was not in a hurry. She went to Chen's house to study as usual, and was very clever in controlling her grades to the end but was very close to Chen Sanniu.
Shen was very concerned about his daughter's studies and asked her if it was difficult to learn. He Zijin said, "It's not difficult to learn. I learned the Book of Songs that Mr. Xue had long been taught by Brother Luo. It was still early for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The teacher only asked the big girl and the second girl to learn calligraphy. We were young. The husband said that he would touch the pen after he was eight years old. He taught a little chess, some music scores, and every five days of needlework."
Shen also asked very tactfully, "Does the cousins learn so well?" My daughter is not stupid. She has been better than children of the same age since she was a child. She doesn't talk earlier. She can also say that even if she read books from He Luo for the past two years, she has learned a lot of words and memorized a lot of poetry. Her husband sometimes asks her daughter some simple books, and can answer them. Her husband always sighs that in the future, his son has the spirit of his daughter, and the old He family's juren is expected! (Stone: So, He Xiucai, you are too unconfident, right?)
My daughter is now studying in the Chen family. In order to show her teaching progress, Mr. Xue has to take the exam every ten days, and her daughter returns to the end. Shen is a strong-willed person. Although she is not very good at showing off on weekdays, she is worried that her daughter will not be able to keep up with her homework. She asked directly, but she was worried that her daughter would hurt her self-esteem, so she asked very tactfully.
He Zijin is not a tactful person. He heard what her mother meant. He Zijin said, "I just went there. Sometimes when my husband asked questions in class, Big Girl answered and I answered them. Big Girl looked very bad. I did the exams, just lower-key so that they could not be jealous of me. Otherwise, a beautiful person like me and a super smart person would attract more hatred."
Listening to the first half of the sentence, Shen thought that Chen Daniu and the others were really uncultured. They should study harder than their daughter. Could it be that they could learn their homework well with a bad face? Of course, Shen was also very happy that her daughter was very kind and was just an auditor. It was nothing to let someone have a formal child. However, when he heard the second half of the sentence, Shen lost all his thoughts and once again grabbed her daughter's ear and scolded her, "Don't say these embarrassing words when you go out, don't know!" The advantage is that others praise her, so how could she praise herself so arrogantly! With such a confident daughter, Shen is really worried!
After correcting her daughter's views, Shen asked her daughter's homework carefully and saw that she was a little girl. Shen taught her daughter again, "It's right to let her cousins go, but you can't always give in to them like this, otherwise you will be the worst in the exam. They don't know that you're giving in to them, so it's time to laugh at you for being stupid."
He Zijin asked, "What's wrong? Will you let me give you a while and not let you do it? How tired!" She originally planned to pretend to be a quail.
"When the teacher takes you, you occasionally get the second and third place. Not only does the teacher feel that you are working hard in your studies, but even the big girls will not underestimate you when you see you have made progress." Shen said, "The bullies outside are all incompetent people. Showing certain ability, no one dares to bully you. But don't always stand out. Mr. Xue is your aunt who invited her to teach the big girls and their sisters. It is not good for you to steal their limelight every time. You have to know it in your heart, and make people feel that you are smart, but not the smartest, but not the stupidest. This is the most secure and you have learned something."
He Zijin sighed: Even if she is not wearing it, she will not be stupid if she has such a mother!
After learning a lot of life experiences about "how to maintain a middle- and upper-level level in the classroom" from Shen's family, He Zijin continued his learning journey.
He Zijin thought that she was just a dressing dress at least. However, in terms of human nature, she was obviously not as good as Shen. Because since she passed the exam twice, even Grandma Chen saw her, "Don't be anxious when Zijin is studying. You are young, you will follow me." The words were to comfort He Zijin, but the words were not without the meaning of "This girl is so stupid, but their Chen girl is smarter."
He Zijin nodded, "Oh my aunt, I will work hard."
"No need to hurry." Grandma Chen touched her bun's head and told her daughter Chen Daniu, laughing, "Big Girl, teach you more sister."
Chen Daniu said, "I don't teach her much in daily life. She is stupid, and she learns from her husband. Sanniu is only two months older than her, so her homework is better than her." Let me talk about Chen Sanniu, this child is six years old, one year older than He Zijin. But since Chen Sanniu was born on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, there is really no birthday smaller than this. He Zijin was born on the next year. The next year, people say that they are born one year old. Therefore, although Chen Sanniu is nominally one year older than He Zijin, he is actually only two months older than He Zijin.
Grandma Chen said to her daughter, "You should be a sister, it is necessary to take care of your sister more."
Chen Daniu then responded.
Compared to Chen Daniu, the eight-year-old Chen Erniu is obviously more sensible. Chen Erniu said, "I see Zijin doing well in class, why can't I do it once the exam? Sometimes you answer better than your elder sister in class, and the gentleman has praised you."
He Zijin said slowly, "I have studied books before, I have read books for a long time." He gestured, "very long, very long."
Grandma Chen smiled, "Your cousin of the He family is a scholar, and your family must have taught Zijin."
He Zijin nodded, pretending to be young with a slight voice, "Dad said I will be able to do well in the exam next time!"
Chen Erniu stopped talking.
Chen Sanniu is still young, and she doesn't look like He Zijin, so she has always talked little.
He Zijin felt that her mother's words were polite. She just turned two of them and was treated like an idiot. He Zijin paid a little attention to the progress of He Daniu and others, and then she did not show herself in Mr. Xue's class, but she won some surprises from Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu. Chen Sanniu and Shang Xiao only felt that He Zijin was smart.
He Zijin didn't expect that it would take so much effort to teach with such a group of little kids. It's really a world of life! Fortunately, I can eat sugar when I listen to my mother's words.
