The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 220 The Collision Between Shen Xuan and Feng Mansion (2)
"Miss." Ding Xiang walked into the room and shouted to Shen Xuan who was sitting there, with a chill.

"What's the matter?" Shen Xuan asked casually.

"It's nothing serious." Ding Xiang replied, and after seeing Shen Xuan's questioning eyes, she said embarrassedly, "Didn't the lady say before that the fruit that makes candied haws can also be made into candied fruit? Just like the one I made before." Like preserved apricots?"

"Ah? I told you about this, but I didn't expect you to remember it." Shen Xuan replied after thinking about it.Before making preserved apricots in Shatu Village, Shen Xuan just casually mentioned hawthorn.Apples and other fruits can also be made into candied fruit, but Lilac still remembered it.

"The lady, can you tell me how to do it? I just saw hawthorn at old man Gao's place, and I thought I'd try those hawthorns when I'm free." After hearing Shen Xuan's answer, Ding Xiang quickly explained the reason.

"Okay, I'll take a look with you too, I'm bored after sitting here all morning." Shen Xuan looked up at Lilac before standing up, walking out while talking.

"Miss, it's cold outside, you should put on more clothes." Ding Xiang reminded.

After Ding Xiang finished speaking, she took a cloak belonging to Shen Xuan, ran outside the door, saw Shen Xuan standing there, and quickly put the cloak on Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan gathered the cloak on her body, and then said to Ding Xiang, "Let's go!"

Ding Xiang heard the order and quickly opened the umbrella to follow.The master and the servant walked to the old man's house together, and after a while, they arrived at the corresponding place.

"Uncle Gao. Aunt Gao?" Ding Xiang shouted hello while the guardian Shen Xuan walked into the house.

"Miss, why are you here?" Aunt Gao who heard the shout hurriedly came out from the inner room to check, and when she saw Shen Xuan, she hurriedly asked, her tone a little nervous and fearful.

Although I know that Shen Xuan is only a peasant girl, but the whole body of the aura makes people dare not neglect, and the old man Gao's family has signed a contract with Shen Xuan, the fate of the whole family is in the hands of the other party, no wonder others are afraid .

"Aunt Gao, we are here to borrow something from you." Knowing what the Gao family was thinking, Ding Xiang quickly explained.

"Aunt Gao, don't be nervous." After seeing the look on the other party's face, Shen Xuan also comforted her.

"You can't, you can't, Miss can't call you old woman like that." Aunt Gao was so frightened that she hurriedly stopped her when she heard Shen Xuan's address.

Shen Xuan also knew that her current identity was different from before, so she no longer forced herself to speak out.

"Miss Dingxiang, you can just say what you want. Why come here on a rainy day, let alone the lady is here, if you catch cold, then..." After seeing Shen Xuan acquiescing, Aunt Gao muttered to Dingxiang.

"Hehe." Hearing Aunt Gao's chanting, Ding Xiang looked at Shen Xuan's expression and laughed a few times, then interrupted the other party, told the other party the reason for coming, and said, "I saw that at Aunt Gao's house. The little red fruit, if you want to use it, I don’t know if it’s okay?”

"Little red fruit?" Aunt Gao repeated, unable to remember what Ding Xiang was talking about.

"It's the fruit of the candied haws. We call it hawthorn. I don't know what it's called here?" Ding Xiang explained.

"Oh, Miss Dingxiang said Shanlihong." After hearing Dingxiang's description, Aunt Gao came to her senses and replied.After thinking of Ding Xiang's request just now, she continued, "That thing is worthless, and Miss Ding Xiang can use as much as she wants, and I'll go get it for you right now."

After Aunt Gao finished speaking, she turned around and left regardless of Ding Xiang's answer, and the master and servant had to stand there and wait.

Not long after, Aunt Gao came over with a big bag on her back. She probably brought all the hawthorns in the house, which weighed about seventy to eighty catties by visual inspection.

"Aunt Gao, why did you take so much? You can't bring them all, right?" Ding Xiang exclaimed while helping Aunt Gao put the things away.

"Hey, it's not a valuable thing either. I picked it from a nearby mountain when I had nothing to do." Aunt Gao said casually.

"Why don't you make candied haws and sell them in the city? This can be exchanged for some silver, right?" Ding Xiang asked doubtfully after thinking about its use.

"Candied gourds are not easy to get. Some skills are inherited from the ancestors. We don't know how to cook sugar. How much can these fruits be sold for? Why don't we keep them for ourselves?" Aunt Gao said.Their family has also made this candied haws before, and they all failed without exception.When mentioning this matter, Aunt Gao thought of the wasted candy, and her tone was a little distressed, all that wasted was money!
"Aunt Gao, why don't you keep some, if I take them all away, what else are you going to eat?" Ding Xiang suggested.Although it's not a very good thing, it's not a big deal for someone to take it all away!

"There's no need to keep it. In previous years, I just didn't have money to eat as a snack. The food was so sour that I couldn't eat a few." Aunt Gao retorted Ding Xiang's proposal.Even if all the cloves are taken away, it doesn't feel bad at all.

"Okay then, I'll take the things away. You can take this little money, it's considered we bought it." Ding Xiang said while taking out a five taels of silver and handing it to Aunt Gao.

"That's no good, what's wrong with it, how can this little thing be worth so much money, besides, it's a new taste for the young lady?" Aunt Gao said hastily, holding the silver in her hand like a hot potato.

"Okay, Aunt Gao, just accept it, Miss also means the same." Ding Xiang used Shen Xuan's name to stop the other party's nagging at a critical moment.

"This?" Aunt Gao instinctively.He looked at Shen Xuan hesitantly, and after seeing Shen Xuan's nod, he reluctantly accepted the money, thinking in his heart that he must tell the husband about this later, so that the head of the family can make up his mind.

After Shen Xuan and Ding Xiang got the things, they walked back. Fortunately, the rain had lightened and turned into a drizzle of stars, so they couldn't get their clothes wet even if they walked back hurriedly.After Aunt Gao put down her things, she went back. The man found it difficult to breathe in the same place as Shen Xuan.

At Shen time in the afternoon, the rain stopped, and Shen Xuan ordered to rush back to the city tomorrow.Afterwards, Shen Xuan asked Liluo to call old man Gao and Shen Xue to her place, and told her some things about the vegetables in the greenhouse.Especially the problems encountered in the growth of green vegetables, as well as the protection work in winter.If there is a lot of snow in winter, it is necessary to clear the snow on the greenhouse in time, so as not to collapse the greenhouse.

The next day, the sky cleared up completely. "After the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather will come late to autumn." It can just describe the weather after the autumn rain.After packing up the things, Shen Xuan's five master and servant drove away.Set [-] and set [-] were still acting as coachmen. Because of the rain in the previous two days, the two of them stayed in their room and did not go out.
