However, although Tongcheng is not as prosperous as the capital, the style of the houses on the street, people's clothes, flowers, plants and trees, etc., are still unique, and Sister Shan enjoys watching them all.

But when they were out of the city and walking on the uneven official road, Sister Shan got tired of looking at it after less than an incense stick of time.

Shan Jie'er first arrived in Tongcheng yesterday. Although she lived in her grandmother's house, she was still a little shy. She had to get up early in the morning to prepare for departure. Therefore, she only slept for two or three hours last night. Now the scenery outside was monotonous, and she couldn't help feeling sleepy. She nodded her head nodding, and finally she couldn't hold on any longer and rolled into Aunt Jiao's arms.

When she was woken up by Madam Jiao, the carriage stopped by the roadside for a while. Then Sister Shan got off. She was dazed by the desolate countryside with no village in front and no shop behind.

Fortunately, Aunt Jiao called Taozhi to pour her some hot tea and took out two fairy fruits for her to eat.

If Second Uncle Jiao and Auntie weren't there, Sister Shan would have been terrified seeing such a desolate place.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, taking the fairy fruit, and taking two bites of it, she finally calmed down.

After a short rest, Shan Jie'er got back on the carriage. When she heard Madam Jiao say that it would take more than half an hour, Shan Jie'er couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Thinking of the private conversation that she overheard between A'niang and Nanny Zhong, saying that her grandmother was ostracized by her uncle and aunt, she was so angry that she moved to the farm to live a quiet life.

But looking at the desolation along the way, the poverty of the small villages we passed by, what would my grandmother’s farm be like?

"Sister Shan, wake up, we're here!"

Sister Shan fell asleep again without realizing it.

When she was woken up, Sister Shan rubbed her eyes and looked out the window.

What you see is just an ordinary small village.

There are low adobe houses, one on the east and one on the west, with an occasional two brick and stone houses, but not many.

Looking further ahead, you will see a small, somewhat old manor house.

Fortunately, there is a slightly larger new manor house next to this old small manor house.

The appearance of this new manor is far inferior to that of the mansions of middle-class families in the capital.

Shan Jie'er thought that her grandmother herself lived a hard life, but she was more generous than anyone else in giving gifts to her and Hu Ge'er. She must have lived frugally for several years to save up this money.

Wait until the carriage stops.

The doors of both the old and new houses were opened.

Everyone inside came out to greet them.

A middle-aged woman in a pearl gray satin gown, surrounded by her maids, was standing at the gate, looking forward.

"But Sister Shan?"

"Meet Grandma!"

Shan Jie'er was already in the car and had been reminded by Aunt Jiao, so as soon as she jumped out of the car, she rushed forward a few steps, threw herself in front of the middle-aged woman, and bowed deeply first.

"Good boy, get up!"

Although Aunt Su doesn't like naughty children, she also doesn't like to mess with good children.

Without waiting for Sister Shan to complete the ceremony, she pulled the person up, held her in her arms, and cried with joy.

"Sister Shan, grandma finally gets to see my little granddaughter!"

At this moment, Lin Lao Er also got out of the car and bowed to Aunt Su, "Greetings, old lady! Your son is back. This time, not only did he live up to your expectations, but he also brought your precious daughter, Sister Shan! Your son must ask for a reward!"

Lin Lao Er was originally shameless, and he had previously used Bihe to coax Old Madam Su into almost accepting him as her legitimate son.

When I say these words now, they come out naturally and effortlessly.

Although this guy is not a good person, he is still quite useful to Aunt Su.

The mission of visiting relatives in Beijing this time was successfully completed.

Aunt Su naturally didn't hesitate to give her a good face.

"Well, second brother, you've really worked hard this time. Come into the courtyard quickly, and there will be delicious food for you to eat!"

A group of people walked into the courtyard, chatting, and sat down in the reception hall.

Aunt Su sat down with her granddaughter in her arms and asked a few questions with a smile. Then someone came to report that the table was ready.

Since there was no male master on Aunt Su's side, Aunt Su let Lin Laoer sit at a table by himself.

Lin Laoer originally thought that the meal at the old lady's house was all vegetarian, so what good could it be?

But I didn't expect that when the food was served, the vegetarian chicken, vegetarian meat, and fresh vegetables tasted as delicious as real meat.

Especially the magical fruit that was said to be miraculous in the capital, he was served a plate with four of them!

Lin Laoer opened his cheeks and chewed vigorously.

The food he eats at the old lady's house is better than what he eats at home!

He ate so much that he couldn't eat any more.

But he still asked the maid for a bag, grabbed the four fairy fruits, and stuffed them all into it.

And his reasons sound pretty good.

"This fairy fruit looks fresh. I'll take it back to my aunt."

As for whether to give it to my aunt when I go back, that depends on him.

Lin Laoer's visit this time was considered as a mission accomplished. After thinking it over in his mind, he couldn't think of what else he could do for the old lady.

I had no choice but to go and say goodbye.

"That's right. You've been away from home for so long, your aunt must be worried about you day and night. Zhuangzi is a bit far from the city, so I won't keep you here..."

Lin Lao Er said goodbye to the old lady and got on the carriage.

I saw a basket of fruits and vegetables in the carriage.

The head of the manor, Su Zhong, said with a smile, "Second Master, these are all produced on the manor. The old lady specifically told me to bring them to you and Aunt Liu."

Lin Laoer pretended to be polite for a few words, sat firmly, and watched the carriage set off. When it was several hundred steps away from the farm, he lay on the basket and rummaged through it to pick up the things.

The melons, cucumbers and green vegetables are fine, but this small basket of fairy fruits is the most valuable!

During the few days he had been in the capital, he had heard that there was a kind of strange fruit called fairy fruit, which was produced in Tongcheng!

In the entire capital city, only the Ding Mansion has two fairy fruit trees that can bear fresh fairy fruits!

After this magical fruit gradually became famous, some wealthy families even sent people on express horses to Tongcheng to buy it.

We did get some, but the journey was too long, and by the time it reached the capital, less than three or four out of ten would still be intact and taste the same.

In short, I heard that the cost of this fairy fruit is as high as thirty taels of silver!

Look at this small basket, there are at least ten of them.

Isn't this worth three hundred taels?

When he returned home yesterday, he also heard what Aunt Liu said.

I know that the old lady’s shop has been selling a unique fairy fruit for a while.

A small box of two fairy fruits costs five taels of silver!

He made some calculations in his mind. Wow, if all these magical fruits could be transported to the capital, wouldn't the money he could earn be like flowing water?
