A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

Chapter 99: A person who is not conspicuous is wasted in old age

It was the young master’s first time to visit the farm, and he had been locked up in the house for a long time before he could come out to play, so everything he saw was new to him.

Aunt Su asked the maids to take the little master to play in the yard and outside the yard.

The young master looked at the rows of vegetable seedlings with small yellow flowers and green fruits as big as soybeans, and was eager to pick two.

Su Mei smiled and persuaded, "Young Master, this is called the Immortal Fruit. It is not grown anywhere else but only here. It has not yet ripened. Our old lady said that when this Immortal Fruit grows up, it will turn into a red agate, which is beautiful, sweet and sour..."

Before she finished speaking, the young master's saliva was almost coming out, and his little hands were moving, and it was impossible to hold back just by looking at him.

"But now the fruit is too small and green. Our old lady said that the green fruit is poisonous and will make you sick if you eat it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the young master's hands became obedient.

Before, he just didn't listen to people's advice and ran to the water to play, which led to him being bitten by poisonous mosquitoes. The pain he suffered was really severe!

Let’s forget about this green fairy fruit for now.

"Sister, when will this fairy fruit grow well?"

Think about his brother Cheng, whether in the capital or in Tongcheng, he is the adults' favorite. Is there anything rare that he wants to eat?

"Maybe another month?"

After the yellow flowers of the fairy fruit fall, the green fruits emerge.

No matter whether they were the servants who came with the old lady or the original people of Zhuangzi, they were all staring at these fairy fruits, wishing they could come every day to see how big they had grown.

Cheng Ge'er swallowed, with some disappointment in his eyes.

He and his mother will be returning to the capital in a few days, and they may not be able to enjoy these magical red fruits!

Su Mei and the others were afraid that the young master would get upset and insist on going into the tomato field, so they found an excuse and took him outside to play.

As expected, this young master from a wealthy family had never seen anything like it.

Not only can he not distinguish the seedlings and grass in the field, but even if a chicken or duck runs over, or if he sees cows, sheep or pigs, he would be surprised for a long time.

After lunch, Mrs. He said goodbye to Mrs. Su. The young master gently tugged at her sleeve, blinking his eyes.

Mrs. He knew that this boy must have some ulterior motives.

I was just afraid that she would blame me, so I didn't dare to speak.

The old lady smiled and said, "Mrs. He and the young master have come from afar and brought generous gifts. I feel a little ashamed to accept them, so I have prepared some local gifts. I hope Madam He and the young master will accept them."

The gifts she gave were naturally things from the boutique she opened.

It's just that the Ding family is rich, Madam He is from the capital, and her husband is an official with an official post. Madam He has seen everything, and she probably doesn't think highly of the silk flowers and the like that Madam He sent. But since Madam He can't use them herself, it doesn't matter if she gives them to the maids and wives as rewards.

When Mrs. He heard what the old lady said about the local gift, she thought it was probably not worth much, so she declined a few words and then accepted it.

I watched as the servants carried boxes and two bamboo baskets with flowers onto the Ding family's carriage...

Madam He was slightly stunned, "Madam, what is this?"

Cheng Ge'er jumped up with excitement.

"It's the fairy fruit! The fairy fruit! The fairy fruit will turn red in another month!"

Oh my, this is great!

He was also thinking that if he returned to the capital, he would never be able to eat the immortal fruit.

I didn’t expect the old lady to be so kind. Knowing he wanted it, she dug it out of the ground and brought it home for him!

Aunt Su smiled and said a few words to Mrs. He.

"This is the first time I've planted this fairy fruit. I saw that the young master really liked it, so I had someone dig two plants and gave them to him."

"It has already borne fruit. It will be ripe in another month. Then, we can eat this fairy fruit."

Mrs. He was stunned.

I wanted to refuse, but seeing how excited my little son was, I changed my mind.

"In that case, thank you very much, old lady. Cheng brother, why don't you thank the old lady quickly?"

The young master bowed with both hands and bowed to Aunt Su.

"Thank you, Brother Cheng, for the fairy fruit given by the old lady! Brother Cheng will definitely take good care of these two fairy fruits!"

Seeing this energetic boy, Aunt Su was in a good mood too.

"Okay, okay! Young Master, just have someone water the plants on time and apply a little fertilizer."

After seeing off the two people from the Ding family, Aunt Su stretched her arms, kicked her legs, went back to the house and lay down for a while. Only then did she have the energy to come out and count the gifts sent by the Ding family.

Since Aunt Jiao was not around, it was Su Mei who accompanied Aunt Su to count the gifts.

Su Mei led people to open all the gift boxes, and then read the gift list one by one.

"Two pieces of green gauze, two pieces of winter brocade, two pieces of brocade, four pieces of carved silk satin, two boxes of gold and silver ingots, one pound of official bird's nest, a pair of Ruyi jade bottles, and four boxes of spices, snacks, tea, and dried fruits..."

As Su Mei read on, she couldn't help but be amazed.

"Madam, this gift from the Ding family is really generous!"

Previously, the Ji family came to ask Madam Su to treat the second young lady's face, and in the end they sent several rolls of fine fabrics and a box of gold and silver ingots. At that time, everyone thought that the gift was already very generous.

I didn’t expect the Ding family to be so generous.

But think about it, the Ding family is much more prominent than the Ji family, and this little boy is the treasure of the family. This time he has a strange disease, which is far more dangerous than the acne on his face. It is no wonder that Mrs. He came all the way to deliver this gift.

Aunt Su looked at these fine ancient fabrics, touching one side and then the other.

When the Ding family sent gifts, they obviously took Aunt Su's age into consideration. The fabrics they sent were all of relatively dull colors, but there were also some bright colors, accounting for about one-fifth of the total.

Aunt Su feels a little regretful that middle-aged and elderly women in this era still don’t have enough freedom in how they dress!

Otherwise, she doesn't care whether it's shiny or fresh!

It’s a waste of time if you don’t attract attention when you grow old!

"Well, the Ding family is really polite! Keep these two and put away the others!"

Aunt Su picked out two pieces of fabric, one light green and one silver-gray.

She planned to make two sets of clothes, one for Su Heiya and one for herself.

After looking at the fabrics, she went to look at the gold and silver ingots.

There were two boxes of gold and silver ingots, each containing about twenty ingots, all made into small objects of various shapes, such as peanuts, beans, persimmons, carps, lotus flowers, etc.

Although silver ingots look nice, silver is really worthless in modern times. Aunt Su also plans to wait until there is nothing to pass on and then ask Su Heiya to buy some silver jewelry online and pass it on to her.

Aunt Su picked out some peanuts and beans and gave them to Sumei.

"The Ding family has come here for such a long time, and you guys have worked hard to entertain and serve them. Take these and share them with everyone!"

Su Mei thanked for the reward with a smile.
