Chapter 32
Seeing her shy look, Feng Jinyao remembered that the shopkeeper Wang that Yun Xu was talking about seemed to be Hydrangea's cousin.

At a young age, he became the shopkeeper of Fengjia Yiyuan's pawn shop, and his eyes are the most discerning. The profit of this pawnshop is the highest among many shops, and most of this is due to his credit.

It is a good thing that they can find their own home.

Thinking of this, Feng Jinyao was delighted with the beauty of being an adult.

"Don't worry, I will add makeup to you when the time comes, and shopkeeper Wang will not dare to underestimate you."

"Miss..." Hydrangea yelled coquettishly, her appearance was very lovely, but Yunxu next to her saw that she was about to burrow into the ground with a smile, and came out with a smile to change the subject.

"The snow this year came really late. Now it's the twelfth lunar month before it starts to drift. I'm afraid it will rain continuously in the spring next year."

This remark reminded Feng Jinyao that what Yun Xu said was correct, the 12th year of Tianqi did indeed rain continuously throughout the year, not to mention affecting the harvest, and even the price of food also skyrocketed.

That being the case, they should prepare early.

After narrowing his eyes and thinking for a moment, he ordered.

"Go and tell Uncle Fu to ask him to allocate [-]% of the store's profit this year to stockpile food, and put it on the village where his mother married as a dowry, so that Mama Bai's son can watch over it."

"[-]%? Is it too much?"

Yun Xu followed Feng Jinyao to calculate the accounts of these days, so she naturally knew how much [-]% was.

Today's food prices are only seven or eight yuan, and I'm afraid it takes more than half of the Zhuangzi to stock up.

"It's okay, just do as I said. In addition, let the head of the village find a few powerful farmers to divide the existing farmland into two, and use half of it to plant lotus roots, so that no matter how heavy the rain is, there is no fear of no harvest."

lotus root?

Yun Xu recalled that when she was young, she had seen the people in the village planting, and she was really not afraid of flooding, so she immediately nodded and made a note of it, and then made arrangements later.

After tossing around early in the morning, I finally arranged everything.

Picking a warmer afternoon, Feng Jinyao went to Bai's house to visit relatives with the New Year's gifts that had been prepared.

At this time in previous years, Mrs. Feng would bring things back to her natal home, and occasionally she would go with her, but this year is different, Mrs. Feng is sick in bed, and the power of housekeeping has been handed over to her, so it is a heavy burden to go out to visit relatives and friends Nature also belonged to her.

When the young man at the gate of the Bai Mansion saw the carriage of the Feng family, he immediately came forward to invite him, his words were full of excitement.

"Third Miss is finally here. The eldest lady has asked the younger one to wait here a long time ago, waiting for you."

"Auntie is being polite, let's lead the way."

Returning to the familiar Bai family again, the grandmother's birthday banquet seemed to be just yesterday. Thinking of her cousin's lovely smiling face, she couldn't help being happy.

I don't know how she spent the past half month?

But he is still fighting with his cousin Bai Sihan.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw that I was already in front of my aunt's yard.

The powerful mother Lin beside her was waiting for her at the gate of the yard early, and when she saw her, the wrinkles on her face almost burst into laughter.

"Miss is finally here, the big guy has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Oh? Aunts, are you all right today?"

"The princess came to talk to the eldest lady. When she heard that you were coming, she stayed here and waited. The eldest lady also sent a message early to ask you to wait for her for a while. She will naturally finish her embroidery. come over."

Embroidered female red?
Feng Jinyao couldn't help but see her angry look, and couldn't help feeling sorry for the silk that she "ruined".

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can see the pond under the corridor, which is filled with hot spring water, so there are still a few koi swimming in it in winter.

"My niece has seen my first aunt and my fourth aunt."

"Here we come!" The eldest aunt Lin looked at her, as if she was happy for something, hurriedly beckoned her to come and sit beside her.

It was cold in winter, so the two aunts were nestled on the red sandalwood and lotus-patterned slab under the open window, and they were covered with lamb blankets, which was the most warm.

Today the eldest aunt is dressed plainly, and the light yellow beanie is warm and flattering to the complexion. If someone who doesn't know sees it, they may think that she is a young lady who has just been married.

The fourth aunt is festive, with a brocade-embroidered palace red beanie, hairpins and rings inlaid with round oriental pearls, and a pair of suet jade bracelets of excellent quality on her wrists. I'm in a great mood.

Even the look in Feng Jinyao's eyes is kind.

"It's still snowing outside, is it cold on the way here?"

After finishing speaking, he handed over the gold-plated hand stove with twined peony branches in his hand.

The warmth started from the palm of the hand and spread, and after a while, the whole body was also warm.

"My mother's illness is not suitable for going out, so I'm here to give a New Year's gift today, nothing else, I got a few good leathers, and used them to make jackets for my grandmother and a few aunts. It's the most comfortable."

"You girl, you miss us. It just so happened that my natal sister-in-law sent a few baskets of pears and green dates from Jiangnan, which are the most nourishing for the lungs. You can take some back and give the eldest sister a taste. Maybe it will help her cough. .”

Feng Jinyao smiled and said yes.

"Sister-in-law, do you have a happy event in Beijing recently? I saw you prepared some gifts two days ago, which one would you give them to?"

The fourth aunt, Princess Wen Yi, asked suddenly, her mind was quick, although not as good as Mrs. Bai's, but her ability to interrupt a topic was still flawless.

Feng Jinyao will be married next year, and then she will start preparing for a marriage negotiation. Naturally, she will integrate into the circle of the famous aristocrats in Beijing in the future.

So the two aunts of the Bai family talked about the recent happy events in Beijing, and they also arranged for her the circle of friends in the future.

"It was hired by the Liang family."

"Oh, it must be the granddaughter of Xu Ge's hometown? I've met Si Ruo a few times as a good friend. She is a good girl who is well-behaved and sensible, and she is also generous and beautiful."

Fourth Madam Bai said appreciatively, she only has one daughter under her knees, and she likes that girl very much. If she has a son, she will be a daughter-in-law at home, and she will definitely become a model of clan wives.

"Who said it wasn't? I heard that the Liang family spent a lot of money on this engagement. The betrothal gift was carried into the Xu family like water. My natal sister-in-law was invited to watch the ceremony. She said that she had prepared 28 pairs of red gold bracelets, not to mention the full amount of gold bracelets. There are several big boxes of silks and satins, top-grade seafood and four seasons tea candies, she is very eager to look at it."

Mrs. Bai came from a well-known family in the Lin family, and she was very popular in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing, so if there was any trouble in the other family, she would have the best news than anyone else.

"The Liang family is just a minister of the Dali Temple, and he can't get much money on weekdays. It seems that most of the Liang family's mansion has been hollowed out."

"Yes, but there is only such a son. If you don't make faces with him, who else can you make faces with?"

The two sisters-in-law laughed heartily, and Feng Jinyao listened to their casual jokes, but she had other plans in her mind.

Princess Wen Yi didn't know what she was thinking, but talked about another happy event.
