The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm

Chapter 490: The cannon fodder cousin of the hero of the imperial examination novel (12)

Suns mother was so angry that she slammed the door:

Come here! Open the door! I want to find your girl!

"The girl has been on her way for a day and has rested. The housekeeper ordered that all the courtyards be locked in advance so as not to disturb the girl's rest."

Grandmother had to go back to the house angrily.

The next day, she had breakfast.

Come here! Take me to see your girl.

The girl went out to do some business and I dont know when she will come back.

On the third day, she went to see Xu Yin without having breakfast.

The gatekeeper of Longxiang Garden stretched out her hand and stopped her: "Sorry, the girl is reciting sutras to the late master and his wife, and there are no outsiders."

Day four

Grandmother couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out of the guest house, angrily going to Xu Yin to ask her why she was left dry like this.

Meeting the housekeeper on the way, he smiled and said he had prepared a load of Mid-Autumn gifts for her, and asked her if she wanted to hire a carriage. There was an empty carriage parked outside the house.

As soon as she heard that her niece had prepared a wedding gift, her grandma immediately thought of the silks and satins and nourishing medicinal materials that she had sent to her parents' house every year when her second brother was still alive. There is not much difference between satin and silver.

"I'm going back to Fengcheng right now! Originally, I wanted to say goodbye to Yin Yin. After being away for so many days, it's time to go back. Since Yin Yin is so busy, I won't disturb her. I have to ask the housekeeper to help me put my things away. Get on the carriage.

This is natural.

The housekeeper asked the servant to help her carry a heavy gift basket tied with wedding silk to the door and load it into the carriage.

Passers-by looked at Sun Mu enviously several times. She was really lucky to be a relative of the Xu family.

"Which relative of the Xu family is this? You came here empty-handed a few days ago, right?"

"No, let's eat and drink for a few days, and also bring back a load of gifts. At best, it's like visiting relatives, at worst, it's just an autumn breeze!"

Oh, why dont we have such rich relatives?

When grandma got on the car, the housekeeper told the driver the approximate address of Sun's family in Fengcheng, then waved to grandma and smiled and wished her a good journey.

Grandmother waited for the carriage to run out for a while, wanting to untie the knot of the wedding silk, open the gift basket, and see what specific gifts the Xu family had given to her family.

Unexpectedly, the knot of the wedding silk was tied tightly and difficult to untie. Not only did it tie the burden tightly and could not be untied, but it also became tighter and tighter, so in the end I had to give up.

But she had a hidden suspicion in her mind that the festive gifts from the Xu Mansion could not escape from a few things: cloth, brocade, and nourishing medicinal materials.

It was because I was in a particularly good mood along the way.

Sikong, she left and never came back! How did you do it? Can you tie the wedding silk so tightly?

The boy came to the door of the house every once in a while to take a look. He didn't see his mother's carriage turning back until it got dark. He expected that he had left the city, so he happily ran to ask the accountant for advice.

The housekeeper happened to be present. Hearing this, he looked at Sikong curiously: "What kind of knot are you tying? Can't you untie it without scissors?"

Dead knot.

Just one sentence will make you chat to death!

The old housekeeper became more and more convinced that the scar on this kid's face was cut with a knife. Looking at his casual tone, he really didn't deserve a beating.

The boy expressed some regret: "I couldn't see her expression when she unpacked the burden and saw the ceremony. It must have been funny."

The old housekeeper also felt funny when he thought about that scene, and shook his head with a smile: "Thank you, girl, you can think of it!"

In the Xiangyuan Garden, the two maids Zi Yuan and Hong Qian who were responsible for carrying the load were also pouting and snickering. Xu Yin looked up at them and said helplessly: "Have you not laughed enough?"

Pfft hahaha... Girl, I cant hold it in any longer. How could you think of giving her those things...

I cant help it, girl, I have a lot of money to spend on right now. Xu Yin spread her hands.

There is still half a sentence left: I would rather give the servants in the house a monthly salary increase than give it to my grandma.

"Speaking of which, the new accountant's face is a little scary, but he has a really kind heart." Zi Yuan said, "I knew that the girl was worried about the difficulty in tying the wedding silk knot tightly, so she stepped forward to help without saying a word.

Xu Yin also felt that although the new accountant was timid and did not dare to speak loudly, she did not expect that she was still somewhat capable and could tie the knot of the wedding silk as tight as a string.

She was originally thinking about getting some 502 glue and sealing the lid of the gift basket, but that would easily arouse her grandma's suspicion.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Tomorrow is mid-autumn. Because I have to honor my parents, we won't put on lights and decorations. I'll give each of you an extra month's money as a holiday benefit!"

Thank you, girl!

In the other side, Grandma was tired from the long journey, but because she was full of joy, she did not show any signs of fatigue.

Finally returned home to Fengcheng, and she couldn't wait to go home and unpack the gift basket.

But he was chased by the coachman to ask for fares.

Grandmother was shocked: "Isn't it the carriage hired by Xu Mansion? They didn't pay for it?"

"It was the steward of the Xu Mansion who asked me to wait at the door of the mansion, saying that there might be some business, so I stopped there. You came up without asking at that time, what's the matter? Do you want to miss out on the fare now?"

grandmother:

Secretly scolding the housekeeper of Xu Mansion for not being a good person.

But no matter how much you scold me, the fare must be paid.

Grandmother suffered the loss of being mute, and her originally happy mood was a little worse.

Fortunately, there are still heavy gift burdens.

After entering the door, I couldnt wait to call my son to get the scissors.

Your cousin is somewhat understanding of the world. She kept me here for a few days and gave me a load of gifts. I will take some pieces of silk and satin to the Brocade Mansion to exchange for silver, and you will have enough money to take the exam.

As soon as he finished speaking, the wedding silk tied to the burden was cut, and the lid of the burden was lifted, revealing the ceremony inside.

Grandmother was shocked: "Ahhhh - what are these?"

Xu Yin was so shameful that she even kept the gift list for the Chinese New Year gift sent by her father to her married sister's house, bound it into a book, and gave it to her grandma as a gift for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.

Fifteen years after her father married into the Xu family, he would send festive gifts to his parents' home during six festivals a year, namely Shangyuan Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Zhongqiu Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Laba Festival, and Spring Festival.

In addition to the Double Ninth Festival, on the other five festivals, a festival gift will also be prepared for the married sister.

Although it is not as valuable as what is given to the elders, there are meats such as ham and elbow, as well as food suitable for the occasion, such as rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival, moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, sweet porridge for the Laba Festival, etc. Compared with the festivals of visiting relatives and friends of small families, , obviously much richer.

In addition, when Suns mother, Suns father, and Sun Zhiqians birthdays fall on the 10th, he will also ask someone to prepare a congratulatory gift and ask someone to take it to Fengcheng.

It can be said that except for not giving money directly, the etiquette is quite thorough.

Xu Yin spent a day and took the maids to sort out the gift lists that she had kept over the years.

Some of them were gray and yellowed due to age, so they even asked the housekeeper to find someone to frame them.

In this way, it will appear thick and the burden will be heavy.
