Chapter 318 You can eat anytime
"If you don't believe me, I'll just lie to you again," Concubine Yi was in a good mood as she watched Wen Yao laugh over there, "Just now Ruoxiang said she sent you some pears. When she sent them to me before, your fifth brother said that Ruoxiang had always wanted to send them to you."
"It seems that my love for delicious food is known to everyone. The pears from Fifth Sister-in-law's house are crisp and sweet, just to my taste," Wen Yao said with a smile after sitting down and moving from Concubine Yi to Fifth Lady.
"As long as Ninth Brother's wife likes it," Fifth Lady was not as relaxed as when she was alone with Wen Yao. She smiled gently, replied with one sentence and then didn't know what to say.
"How can I not like it? I'm waiting for you and Brother Wu to get a pear tree for Master Jiu and me," Wen Yao smiled softly, then turned her gaze to Concubine Yi, "Mother, Sister-in-law Wu said that they are already looking for the same kind of pear tree for Master Jiu and me, and they will deliver it directly to our mansion when the time comes."
"Don't you have a lot of fruit trees planted in your mansion? If I remember correctly, there are pear trees among them." Concubine Yi put down the cup of milk tea in her hand, "Do you want to exchange them for the ones given by Ruoxiang? Why do I feel that you want them all?"
"Mother really understands me and Master Jiu. Master Jiu and I feel that basically every mansion is full of all kinds of precious flowers and plants. We want to replace most of them with fruit trees or vegetables, and some flowers and plants, plus some medicinal herbs. Of course, we will also plant the pear tree that Brother Wu and Sister-in-law want to give us. The pears from their family are different in flavor from the ones Master Jiu found before," Wen Yao said briefly, "This... we can't bear to part with them, so let's plant them all."
"You're still growing vegetables?" The Fifth Lady was a little surprised. "Wouldn't it be easier to buy vegetables from outside the mansion? Isn't it a bad idea to grow vegetables in the mansion?"
"The mansion is ours, so what's wrong with us growing some vegetables? I like to have food everywhere in my own yard, and occasionally some small fruits. I can pick and taste one while taking a walk. It tastes so good." Wen Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Maybe because she came from the future, she liked to grow vegetables and other things in her own yard. After arriving in the city, she liked to grow some in pots on the balcony, but later she stopped growing them!
Because it attracts too many bugs!
Now that they are in the Qing Dynasty and can leave the palace and live in their own mansion, of course she and Jiu Ye can plant whatever they like. Do they have to see what others like?
"Fifth sister-in-law, don't pay attention to other people's nonsense. If we are really wrong, then we will change. But if it is an unimportant matter in our lives, why should we listen to others' instructions? You and Fifth Brother can plant whatever you like. If you are comfortable under certain conditions, the feeling will be different. There will be surprises every day!" After Wen Yao finished explaining, she looked at Fifth Lady and expressed her thoughts. "Nineth Master supports my idea very much. He lets me do whatever I want. He also plans to collect various seeds and fruit trees from all over the place. It's a pity that we can't plant many of them here!"
"What my ninth sister-in-law said is true. We should not listen to others' opinions when we are growing crops in our own residence," Fifth Lady's eyes lit up, and her nervousness faded a little. "My ninth sister-in-law made candied haws with yam beans before, and Fifth Master liked them very much. I also like mashed yam, so I will go back and grow some when the time comes."
"There are also tomatoes. Their stems are like wormwood and they are about four or five feet tall. Their leaves are like mugwort and their flowers are like pomegranates. The fruit turns from green to red and the color is very beautiful. Ever since my ninth brother's wife said it is edible, Master Wu and I both like to eat it. We will plant some when the time comes," Lady Wu continued to talk about what she and Master Wu liked.
"Don't just think about what Old Fifth likes to eat. Ruoxiang, plant whatever you like." Concubine Yi looked at the Fifth Lady who was gradually getting into the mood and no longer nervous. "I like to plant some flowers. Although the flowers bloom for a short time, I feel a sense of accomplishment when they bloom. I feel that all the hard work before is worth it."
Concubine Yi looked outside the door. The life of the flower seemed to pass by quickly just like her own life. The time of youthful beauty was so short. After the flower withered, other flowers would continue to compete for beauty. The withered flowers that were not dealt with would only remain because of their owner’s emotions!
If even the last bit of love for this flower is gone, then it will be completely disposed of!
Isn't this her whole life?
"Too many flowers and plants can easily attract insects, and they need to be watered and pruned every day. It's too troublesome. Mother and fifth sister-in-law, you have to be patient. I'm not so patient. If I leave it all to the servants and I don't get involved at all, it would be very boring," Wen Yao replied quickly, glancing at Concubine Yi's expression.
Concubine Yi was amused by Wen Yao's words, "You know you have no patience, growing flowers is about cultivating your mind. Do you know that you also need to arrange flowers? Some flowers can be grown in a vase and can last for a long time. There are also hairpin flowers. Wear each flower in its blooming season. If you don't have it, you have to buy it from outside the palace. It's better than growing it yourself."
"Yes, sister-in-law, we still need to plant some flowers," Fifth Lady responded, "Sister-in-law said she would leave some flowers and plants, so we should be able to plant a lot."
"It depends on what the servants in the mansion can grow. I'll leave it to them when the time comes. Mother knows me well. I don't really like growing flowers and plants," Wen Yao smiled at the two of them. "If you really want to wear flowers in your hair, you can buy them from outside the mansion. Of course, you have to buy jewelry like this!"
How can something you make yourself smell as good as something you buy?
"You!" Concubine Yi laughed out loud. Only Wen Yao would say such a thing. She raised her eyes and said teasingly, "Ruoxiang, did you hear what she meant? This is what she meant. When the time comes, you and I will just give her more."
"If my mother and my fifth sister-in-law gave it to me, how could I refuse it? I would definitely not despise it..."
Gradually, the atmosphere between the three mothers became better and better. Near noon, the Fifth Lady left the palace and returned home, and Wen Yao returned to the prince's residence. After all, she still had to prepare various gifts for next month and the next, that is, to send gifts to any family that needed some help.
Four Baylor House.
The Fourth Lady stood in the courtyard, looking at the Fourth Master who was sitting in front of the door, "My sister has just started giving birth, so she will probably have to wait for a while. You have something to do first, I'll be here."
The Fourth Master looked at his wife, held her hand, and gently replied, "No need. I have told the Shangshu and my Seventh Brother today that Li is not in a clear mind now, and I am worried."
"With you here, I'll feel more at ease. I guess I've realized the mistakes I made in the past these days. After I give birth this time, you might as well lift the ban on me," said the Fourth Lady with a smile, her expression unchanged.
"Okay, as you say," the Fourth Master did not hesitate, but his eyes flashed with coldness. Li would not survive, and he would not allow her to survive!
But when he heard his wife pleading for Li, the Fourth Master held his wife's hand tightly, feeling a little touched, "You are still as kind as when you first entered the mansion."
