A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!
Chapter 225: Aunt Su Accepts Gifts and Returns Gifts
The old and the young were having a great time when they heard a report coming from outside the yard.
"Madam, the Zhu family sent someone to deliver a gift."
Aunt Su thought for a moment and asked, "Who is coming?"
If it was the real master of the Zhu Mansion, then she would definitely have to get up and dress herself up, change into clothes to meet the guest, and entertain the guest, etc.
But if it's just an old servant or steward of the Zhu Mansion, then let Su Mei and others deal with it.
When she heard that it was a steward from Zhu's house, Aunt Su nodded and said, "Then let Su Mei entertain them. It's this late, so they have to keep some food for us. If we can't get back to the city in time, we can just stay here for a night."
The servants took the order and left.
Lin Yanniang, who was watching Huger learning to swim in the pond next door, heard the noise here and asked Huger to go ashore as well.
Hu Ge'er is different from Shan Jie'er. Although Shan Jie'er is still a rookie, she can already jump around in the pond and swim around as lively as a minnow. However, Hu Ge'er can only hold his breath and float on the water for a few dozen breaths.
Even though he was in no way comparable to his sister, Hu Ge'er changed into dry clothes, got ready, and ran to find Aunt Su and Shan Jie'er. His little face was rosy and his eyes were exceptionally bright. It was obvious that all children love playing in the water.
Lin Yanniang asked Aunt Su in confusion, "Why would you send gifts to the farm?"
The stupid children of the Zhu family came to Su's house to study, and the Zhu family sent gifts every now and then. These things were not all expensive, sometimes they were just rare local products.
But Aunt Su lived in the suburbs some distance away from the capital, and the Zhu family also sent gifts, which was a little unusual.
"Could it be that the Zhu family is hoping that Mother will return to live in the capital as soon as possible?"
But the summer in the capital is longer than the autumn, with more than three months of scorching heat. All the wealthy families in the capital who know how to enjoy life will naturally go to their own farms to escape the heat.
Even the current emperor went to the imperial farm, didn’t he?
Aunt Su smiled and said, "Let's wait and see."
After a while, Su Mei came back to report that it was the steward of the Zhu Mansion who sent a gift. He only drank a few sips of tea and hurried back without saying much about the reason.
Lin Yanniang picked up the gift list and couldn't help but exclaimed as she looked at it.
"This gift is really heavy..."
Aunt Su was puzzled when she heard this and took it to have a look.
I saw that the items on this gift list were indeed more than before.
There were two large boxes of precious spices, tribute silks, medicinal supplements.
Aunt Su was stunned.
"What's going on with the Zhu family? Are they no longer in business?"
Lin Yanniang chuckled, "Mother, could it be that the Zhu family wants you to take in another student?"
Take in one more student?
Thinking about her own laissez-faire style of playing movies as soon as the class started, Aunt Su couldn't help but laugh.
"I don't know about that. Let's wait and see when we return to the city."
When Aunt Su first arrived in the capital, she was eager to spread the power of her gods.
At present, the Fifth Princess and the Zhu Family are her most loyal customers.
Although Aunt Su still needs to expand her influence, haste makes waste and she can only go with the flow... If the Zhu family really wants to take in another stupid child, that's not impossible.
Anyway, letting one sheep go is the same as letting it go, and driving two sheep is the same as driving them away.
However, those three guys have already taken two courses.
If there is another one, won’t we have to start all over again?
Aunt Su hadn't even finished looking at the gifts from the Zhu family when another family came with a gift.
"Madam, the family that came to give us the gift this time is the Liu family. The big hot spring village five miles away from here belongs to the Liu family. Last time you sent someone to teach them how to deal with the hot spring water..."
It is said that my old lady is kind-hearted.
It was obvious that he had received guidance from an immortal to obtain the method of purifying and detoxifying hot spring water, but he did not keep it to himself at all and even sent people to tell the two nearby hot spring villages.
The owners of the two farms were not at the farms at the time, and those who heard this suggestion were the heads of the farms.
One village head was very nonchalant and just said thank you perfunctorily. It was still unclear whether he would use the magic trick in the future.
The other village head listened very carefully, and asked many questions based on the prescription, fearing that he had missed any key point.
It has been nearly a month since then.
It seems a little late for the Liu family to come and give a thank-you gift now.
But the items on this gift list are not light.
In addition to fresh vegetables, fruits and melons, there is also a truck full of ice!
You know, the weather is very hot now. If this truckload of ice can be transported to the capital, it can earn at least a hundred taels.
Aunt Su took the gift list and saw the cart of ice at a glance.
I couldn't help but laugh.
"The Liu family is really polite. Since it has been delivered, they should share it among everyone."
Although there is a small cellar in this small village, it is not used to store ice. Even if the ice in the truck is not used, it will slowly melt away. It is better to let everyone cool down.
Su Mei went down happily and gave the instructions.
Over the past year or so, the old lady has been enlightened by the immortals and has become both strict and generous to her subordinates.
As long as you do your job well, you can follow the old lady and eat and drink all the delicious food you want. Even if it is a fairy fruit that costs a few taels of silver each in the city, you can eat it every day.
There are only four masters in the manor now. Even if this cart of ice is placed everywhere, there will still be a lot left. The servants like them can also benefit from it, for example, have a bowl of iced yogurt, frozen mango twig fairy dew, etc.
After receiving the return gift from the Su family, the head of Liujia Village drove his carriage for five miles, returned to Liujia Village, and then came to report to his master.
"My Lord, the one who entertained me at the Su Family's farm was the maidservant beside Old Madam Su... I didn't see Old Madam Su. This is the return gift from the Su Family."
The old man of the Liu family was wearing thin summer clothes at this moment, with two ice basins placed at his feet. However, he was tall and fat, and could not stand the hot summer, so beads of sweat still flowed down his cheeks.
He took the handkerchief handed to him by the maid and wiped it randomly on his face.
I took the gift return list and looked at it.
I saw that the items on the list started with just some ordinary homemade snacks, and the only slightly unusual items were a few fairy fruit seedlings.
Uncle Liu's eyes widened and he didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off his face. He went to see what was happening.
When he saw the fairy fruit seedlings in the coarse porcelain flowerpot, Uncle Liu walked around the pot several times.
"Yes, yes, that's right, the fairy fruit plant in Painter Tang's painting looks exactly like this!"
Last year, the fairy fruit became very popular in the capital.
Any wealthy family that has not tasted the magical fruit would be embarrassed to go out and socialize.
But the fairy fruit can be transported from Tongcheng, but almost no one can see the fairy fruit plant.
Later, I heard that there were only two families in the capital that had immortal fruit plants, one was the Ding family, and the other was the Heguo Mansion.
Friends and relatives of these two families can go and have a look.
But other families in the city can't try to establish relationships with these two families just to see the fairy fruit plants, right?
Later, the Ding family invited a famous painter from the capital to paint more than a dozen pictures of fairy fruits hanging on branches. After these pictures were circulated, they satisfied the curiosity of the people in the capital.
