Chapter 478 The Peony Flower of Pengsheng on the Cliff
Ah Jiu is looking through the brochure sent by Ma Peng.
Although the writing is awkward, I can at least understand it and know how much grain is stored in the warehouse.
"Ma Peng, who did you learn this word from?" Ah Jiu didn't dare to laugh for fear of hurting Ma Peng's self-esteem.
"Learned it from Xu Chengyi. This was not written by me, it was written by him while I was settling accounts."
When Ma Peng said a word, Ah Jiu couldn't hold it back:
"You two add up to about half a pound, just right."
Ma Peng scratched his head: "That's no good. People in the city who can write are as hard to find as lice in the snow. Otherwise, Miss Ninth can teach us how to write when she has time."
Ah Jiu suddenly thought of something: "You can have this."
At this moment, someone came from outside and reported that it was a person who called herself Aunt Xue and had been waiting for a long time.
Ah Jiu was stunned, she is here? What is she here for?
"Let her come in." Ah Jiu looked at the account book, oh my god, the word "collect" was written in the word "divide", and the radicals were still staggering.
"Haha!" Ah Jiu wiped his forehead and hugged the account book, laughing so hard that he couldn't stand up straight.
"Nine girls!"
When Aunt Xue arrived, she still bowed politely to Ma Peng.
This made Ma Peng, a big old man, take a long time to know how to hand over the gift and thank him: "Miss Ninth, I will go back first."
Ah Jiu understands that anyone who faces such a polite person will treat him with courtesy.
Alan handed over the food box with a complicated expression. Aunt Xue took it elegantly and opened the lid and placed it on the desk: "
"Yesterday you said that this Roselle tea is delicious. I still have some. These are specially brought to you."
Ah Jiu looked at the exquisite brocade box. Although she didn't know where she got these gorgeous packaging, she really thought the hibiscus tea tasted very good.
"Is there something wrong with Aunt Xue?" Ah Jiu also knew what was going on and walked around the desk to salute. As the saying goes, no reward will be received without reward, and the recipient will be short-handed.
During this process, Ah Jiu noticed that the man named Alan who was following him glanced at the bookshelf, as if he was looking for something, but his eyes were filled with sadness.
"It's nothing else. I just came to bring you flower tea. I'll go back first." Aunt Xue turned around and left without saying anything.
Ah Jiu found out that it was the old servant named Alan. With tears in his eyes, he gritted his teeth before turning and leaving.
This feeling seems to be very sad.
Could it be that she has a deep connection with the General's Mansion? Otherwise, she wouldn't show such complicated emotions.
"Aunt Lan Xue, please wait." Ah Jiu stopped the two people.
Aunt Xue stopped and looked back at Ah Jiu: "What's the matter?" Her voice was gentle and sincere, making people feel warm.
Ah Jiu smiled nonchalantly: "It's nothing. Since Aunt Xue is here, you might as well stay and have lunch. A sheep was slaughtered in the yard a few days ago, and there is still a leg of lamb left freezing outside. It's just right for you two to try it too.
."
The master and servant looked at each other.
Aunt Xue was unmoved by these things, but the servant's eyes lit up: "Madam, there are few such good things on this road. Your body is suffering from old problems as soon as winter comes. Why don't you take some supplements?"
"Then..." Aunt Xue couldn't hide her embarrassment: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll ask my mother to make it for you two to try." Ah Jiu said and went out to the woodshed.
Cai Lihua has something to do now. The vegetable farmers in the fields have harvested crops. She studies different flavors every day.
With just some ground flour, you can make a staple food that is different every month and a half.
Even the peonies blooming in the courtyard despite the wind and snow did not escape her poisonous hand.
"We have guests, that's great. It's time to taste my mother's cooking." Cai Lihua wanted everyone to praise her for her cooking skills. Now that someone else came to taste her, she was very enthusiastic.
When Ah Jiu returned to his residence, he saw the master and servant sitting in the corridor talking:
"Alan, look at those peonies, I didn't expect them to bloom in this season."
Alan looked in the direction the lady pointed: "Yeah, it's so strange, but it also adds a beautiful scene to the general's mansion."
Aunt Xue breathed a long sigh of relief. The flower was like the only hope after all hope was extinguished. It gave people a glimmer of hope in despair.
