Chapter 224 Fishing and Fish

"Where is Grandma Shen placed?" Li Xiaoyao didn't see Mrs. Shen. She turned her head and looked at M mother Zhang and asked with a smile. Mami Zhang hurriedly took two steps forward and answered with a smile, "M Mother just arrived the day before yesterday. The eldest mother who sent Mother Shen back said that she was old and was not in good health. She fell ill halfway. She didn't dare to rush or stop on the road. It was so hard to get to Kaiping Mansion all the way to send us. Here, I quickly asked someone to invite the doctor to see the pulse. The doctor said that he was old, anxious and overworked. He just needed to calm down and recuperate, but it was nothing serious. Now he is placed in the backyard and lives with me and Mother Lu. I let the cherry and red orange take turns to take care of it every day. Li Xiaoyao listened carefully, nodded with a smile and thanked, "M Mother Zhang is bothered."

"Girl, don't be so polite! Just got the letter from the girl's return, so I sent red orange to see if Mother Shen was awake. If she woke up, I would help her to come to see the girl. Mother Zhang smiled quickly and bowed. Li Xiaoyao waved her hand: "M Mother Shen is sick. Don't disturb her. I'll come to see her later."

"The girl's heart towards people really makes people don't know what to say." Mother Zhang sighed,

"Isn't the girl treating us the same way?" Wisteria smiled and took Mother Zhang's words. Danyue and Haitang hurriedly agreed. Li Xiaoyao glanced at Wisteria. The group smiled and entered half a mu garden. Danyue and Haitang let Luo Yan sit down. Wisteria was busy brewing tea for Li Xiaoyao. Qingcheng and several little maids quickly made tea for Luoyan and Danyue and others. Mother Zhang looked at Li. Xiaoyao drank a cup of tea and breathed a sigh of relief. In the first half, she asked with a smile, "The girl is back. I'll ask someone to report to Aunt Fan, Grandma Zhang, and Sun Da/Grandma?" And the seventh wife of the Shui family, Shui Tongda/Grandma, has also sent someone to ask several times, saying that if the girl comes back, she will quickly send someone to tell them.

"Well, Danyue and Begonia worked harder. Hurry up and take out the things we brought to these places and ask Mother Zhang to arrange someone to send them there, as well as Jiang Shuncai's daughter-in-law. There are also things in the weaving workshop, and send people to send them one by one." Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment and ordered. When Wisteria heard the mention of Mingwan, she opened her mouth and was about to speak. She glanced at Mother Zhang and saw her eyes flashed at her. When she came to her mouth, she quickly swallowed back. Yes, it was not appropriate to mention such a disappointing thing at this moment.

Luo Yan also stood up quickly and followed Danyue and Haitang out. Mother Zhang and Mother Lu took a few little girl out of the door together. They picked up boxes and cages in the yard, opened boxes and cages, packed up gifts, distributed gifts, and sent them to families. They were too busy.

Li Xiaoyao turned into the clean room and soaked it comfortably in the hot water for half an hour before crawling out lazily. He lay on the couch and dried his hair by wisteria. He was about to fall asleep in a daze. A sound of footsteps came from outside. Li Xiaoyao suddenly opened his eyes. You don't need to look at it. This must Sister Zhang must have come.

Sister Zhang was dressed in a bright blue dress and did not walk around. She strode straight into the house from the yard with her skirts in her hands. Before she came in, her voice came first: "Xiao Wu! What about Xiaowu? Did you fall asleep?"

"I was woken up by you when I fell asleep." Li Xiaoyao got up lazily, scattered her hair, and answered with a smile, "Sit down quickly. I haven't seen you for months, and I haven't seen you fat!"

"What's fat? I want to be fat, busy from morning to night! How can you get fat?! Why did Xiaowu lose weight like this? There is not even four taels of meat on this body! Look at it! Is there nothing to eat in Liangdi? How can you be so thin!" Sister Zhang stretched out her hand and touched Li Xiaoyao's thin arm, her eyes widened and shouted loudly. Li Xiaoyao's eyebrows were raised and dropped by her. She quickly straightened up and pulled her to sit down: "San sister-in-law, sit down first, sit down and talk, wisteria, quickly pour tea for grandma, and Sun Da/grandmother!" Back, Mrs. Sun followed angrily. Li Xiaoyao quickly moved aside and let the two sit down. Wisteria and Qingcheng poured tea and brought a few snacks. Sister Zhang stared at the snacks in the plate for a long time, and then turned her head to look at Li Xiaoyao sadly and said sadly, "Look at you, how you can go out to lose weight. Is it like this? Didn't you go out with the prince? Can't you eat well with the prince? Why don't you taste the food over there? Then you should bring back a letter and I'll send you something. Didn't you say that Begonia can cook? Let the begonia make it for you! How can you be so thin!?"

"I'm fine. I'm really fine. I got sick in the middle." Li Xiaoyao raised her hand and rubbed her temples, answered vaguely, raised her chin to the dessert plate and turned the topic: "How's the third sister-in-law's dessert shop? How can you see that you can't move your eyes when you see snacks! Are you hungry or thinking about snacks?" Aunt Sun laughed. Li Xiaoyao turned her head and looked at Aunt Sun carefully. Her face was much more beautiful and delicate, and her eyes were quiet and happy. Although she was still so strong, she looked much gentler and quieter than when she was on the mountain. Li Xiaoyao looked up and down several times and smiled, "Sister Sun is much more beautiful! It can be seen that the iron wood is individually pasted! Now I have a good time with the shopkeeper Sun. Just one sentence: After Sister Sun got married, she is as beautiful as a pearl!" Aunt Sun's face was blushed by Li Xiaoyao's words, and Sister Zhang laughed cheerfully: "He dares not be considerate. I will break his leg!"

Li Xiaoyao laughed. He leaned against the pillow and looked at the proud elder sister Zhang and the reddened Aunt Sun. Aunt Sun pushed Sister Zhang and didn't know what was muttering in her mouth. Li Xiaoyao saw that Aunt Sun was embarrassed and could hardly raise her head. She quickly turned the topic with a smile and helped her relieve the siege: "Three How is your sister-in-law's snack shop?

"How can you take care of it!" Sister Zhang kicked off her shoes, moved them, moved them inside, pulled her skirt out from under her buttocks, carefully laid them out, sat cross-legged, and said, "Since yesterday, the silkworms in our village have just fallen asleep. I think it's all right. I just returned to the city last night. Coincidentally, you came back today. I said, last night My left eyelid has been jumping. It turned out that it should be on here! This Kaiping Mansion is much colder than our Zhengcheng. On April 15th, the cocoon was also collected! Like what I told you, it's slow! Tomorrow, I have to go to the village to watch the cluster, raise a season of silkworms, and wait for the cluster to see the harvest in the past two days. I said that there is no Xiaowu/I don't know! This silkworm in Kaiping Mansion is really slow and big! Oh, it was so long yesterday, fat, not to mention how gratifying it is!" Li Xiaoyao shivered gently. She was most afraid of this kind of fat meat/bugs. This elder sister spoke as much as a child!

"Yes, look at me and say forget! Zhao Wuge arrived ten days ago with the silk master. Now, the stove has been set up, the pot has been set up, and the frame has been set up. He is just waiting to collect the cocoon silk. Speaking of it, Zhang Gouzi's heart is the fastest. He said that the silk master only rithe Zhuangzi's silk, which is too cost-effective. He is just afraid of a good cocoon. The son broke the silk and ran for seven or eight days. He ran through several villages where the weaving had paid the fixed money. It was agreed that we could hand over the cocoon. Let's get this silk by ourselves! In this way, I'm afraid that the master can't be busy alone, so I quickly find a few dexterous ones. First of all, I'm afraid that the silk master won't teach me. Who knows that I've never seen such a good master! Teaching us is simply a heart-to-heart, hand in hand to talk about the exquisiteness of this pot, the exquisiteness of water, and not afraid of teaching apprentices and starving the master to death! I think Erqing and others have been with this season and are designated to learn eight-nine. Xiaowu is awesome. Where can you find such a good master? Li Xiaoyao listened to Sister Zhang's long speech and replied with a smile, "How can there be such a good master? I agreed with him that in addition to the wages, if he can bring out an apprentice who is no worse than him, he will bring out a hundred taels of silver!"

Sister Zhang and Aunt Sun half opened their mouths in shock. Sister Zhang stretched out her fingers and shouted, "One hundred taels of silver! All the spring cocoons in our village have been sold this season, and we can't earn a hundred taels of silver! You!" Sister Zhang swallowed the word "prodigal son" and stretched out her neck. Li Xiaoyao picked up the cup and drank a few sips of tea. After looking at Sister Zhang for a while, she smiled and said, "You want to be my prodigal son, right? Look far away and don't be confined to this season and two seasons. This is a long-term business. Think about it, these people have learned the craftsmanship of silk sling, but they can pass on to the family in the future. Just think of this hundred taels of silver to set up a family for everyone. In this way, we still took advantage of it! This is one, two, good silk can weave good silk, Beiping cold cocoon is good, coupled with good silk master, good silk can good silk can weave good silk good satin. Along the way, the interest in the middle can be increased by at least ten times.

Mrs. Sun stabbed Sister Zhang and whispered, "What Xiao Wu said is reasonable!"

"Well, there's more!" Li Xiaoyao seemed to remember something, received a smile, and looked at Sister Zhang's instructions and said, "You go to the village tomorrow and explain to everyone that anyone who has learned this silk reeling craft will have lost their monthly money since July this year. After this season of spring silkworms, they will reeling silk in the future, and everyone will pay as much as they should pay according to the market. The money earned by each family is also their own!" Sister Zhang was stunned, turned her head to look at Mrs. Sun, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Isn't this good? Li Xiaoyao looked at Sister Zhang with a smile and said, "If you want to get the monthly money, you can also get the income from raising silkworms, and other income from silk. I don't draw more. I don't draw 30% of each sample. This is a loss, no matter. Let me carry it all." Sister Zhang blinked her eyes repeatedly and smiled with an abacus in her heart, "Then I'll talk about it. It depends on what they mean. In fact, there is not much money this month. If it's gone, it's gone."
