It was early spring, and only one bud was sprouted on the grape trellis, but the two old locust trees planted next to them were as tall as a cover.

Bai Jie instructed the little maid to move the table and chairs under the old locust tree. The chair was covered with gorilla red cushions, and sweet white porcelain tea sets were placed on the table. The buds of freshly bloomed, pink or peach, appeared from the deep and shallow flower trees beside them. The sunlight fell golden light spots through the branches of the old locust tree. The buzzing honey lingers among the flowers from time to time, making people feel brighter when they see it.

When Baijie asked a little maid named Xiu'er to make tea next to her, the green soup and various snacks in the Jiuzan box were served. The eldest lady of the Dong family couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

The third generation sees food and the fourth generation sees through it. Although the Dong family is also particular, they always feel that something is missing.

Now that she has seen the place where Bai Jie chose, she has a little understanding.

She could do such a vision and color matching by herself, but no maid or daughter-in-law around her had such vision. So Jiang Xian just gave these trivial matters to the people around her, and just enjoy it.

Even if it was a matter of making tea, any little maid around Jiang Xian could compare to those ladies from wealthy families.

Compared to them, Jiang Xian has more confidence and calmness.

Jiang Xian sat comfortably on the chair, picked up the seven-point warm Biluochun, took a sip, and felt that his heart and lungs were moistened.

She squinted her eyes, always feeling uncomfortable as if her legs were edema, and she stretched her feet a few times.

The eldest lady of the Dong family saw Bai Jie put a suede low stool in front of Jiang Xian, and helped Jiang Xian put his legs on the low stool.

Jiang Xian's expression became even more comfortable.

She asked Bai Jie: "Where are the plums I just washed?"

Bai Jie immediately handed the plum in a small crystal bowl a snow-white handkerchief to Jiang Xian. There was also a silver fruit fork carved with platycodon flowers on the plum.

Jiang Xian lazily ate a plum and asked the eldest lady of the Dong family: "How is your father doing well during this period? Did he go to the business at home or outside?"

The eldest lady of the Dong family sat there straight, obviously having received good training since she was a child. She hurriedly smiled: "My father is old and has given all the business outside to my fourth uncle. Now he is mostly at home. It snows late this year, but it is too heavy, so my father has not gone out."

Jiang Xian nodded and smiled and said to her: "You don't have to be so reserved. My brother, sister-in-law and sister-in-law are not harsh people."

The eldest lady of the Dong family smiled bitterly in her heart.

She also wants to chat and laugh in front of Jiang Xian, looking generous and elegant? But she really can't act like this. It's better to do whatever she wants - her father Dong Chongjin once told her that with a status like Jiang Xian, I don't know how many people have seen, and how many people have come to show off in front of her. If she thinks she is more experienced than a person like Wang Jidao, then go and laugh with her. If she thinks she is not as good as a person like Wang Jidao, it's best to stay by Jiang Xian honestly.

The eldest lady of the Dong family felt that although she was better than ordinary women, she was far from enough to see in front of Jiang Xian.

So she chose to stay honestly.

"I know!" She smiled and nodded, "Does the princess think these plums are delicious? This is the first batch of plums grown in our family this year, and they are sour and less sweet. After my father tasted them, he called Master Yao to come up with him and asked if he could grow sweeter plums. Master Yao said that some people like to eat sweets, and some like to eat sour, so the sour may not be bad. After hearing this, my father asked someone to send some to the princess to try. He also said that if the princess doesn't like this taste, there are two freshly-fed plants in the family. According to Master Yao, it may be sweeter than the plums sent today."

"I don't really like to eat sour things," Jiang Xian smiled. "Maybe because of the bad appetite during this period, I feel sour things that I feel appetizing, and I think the plums are delicious."

"That's also the fate between our family and the princess." The eldest lady of the Dong family smiled gently and said to Jiang Xian. "I was afraid that the princess would not like it before. If my father didn't think it was good or not, he should have brought this portion to the princess to taste, and I wouldn't dare to send the thing to you..."

After a few words, Kang and Li Dongzhi came together.

When everyone saw the gift, Jiang Xian asked them to sit down and handed the crystal bowl in their hands to Bai Jie: "You can try it too, I think it's pretty good."

A little maid came up to cleanse Kang and Li Dongzhi.

Kang chatted with the eldest lady of the Dong family: "When I returned to my parents' home, I heard that Mr. Dong donated money to hold the Lantern Festival lantern festival, and even spent a lot of money to buy a batch of lanterns from Yangzhou. Unfortunately, we didn't see it in Taiyuan."

It was originally intended to please Li Qian and Jiang Xian, but who knew it was a waste.

Of course, the eldest lady of the Dong family would not say this. She smiled and said, "My father is idle these days. When I came here, I pulled the housekeeper to talk about the Buddha Bathing Festival on the eighth day of the April 19th. He said that a few days before Xiangji Temple, he reshaped Guanyin's golden body, so he wanted to donate some incense money and invited monks from the capital to come over to hold a temple fair there. However, I calculated and felt that the time was a bit tight. It would be better to wait until June 6th, the temple would be posted and the temple fair was held."

Kang took the little maid's hand and wiped his hands while laughing, "Miss is right. Now the coffin of the Emperor Daxing has been scheduled to be buried in March. Temples of all sizes in Beijing are probably busy with this matter. A truly famous monk may not be available. Those with a slightly inferior reputation are not very meaningless. It is not very meaningful to invite them from thousands of miles away." Speaking of this, she thought of the Dragon Boat Festival and said, "I wonder if the dragon boat race will still be raced this year?"

In the past, dragon boat racing must have been racing every year. In recent years, the world has not been good. The scale of dragon boat racing has been getting worse every year, so I simply didn't do it last year.

The eldest lady of the Dong family felt aroused when she heard this.

Anyway, it is to please Jiang Xian. If Jiang Xian wants to see it, it is better to go back and discuss with her father, and the Dong family will hold a dragon boat race.

She was a good person in the Dong family. After making up her mind, she immediately said, "My father wants to hold a dragon boat race, but without the consent of the government, it is not easy to interfere in the affairs."

Things like paving roads, building bridges, and donating porridge and food relief are good deeds, but they are easy to gain fame and have always been taboos by the government.

If the government disagrees, even if the Dong family wants to spend money to run a lantern market and a dragon boat race, they will also worry about whether they will be charged with "indiscipline".

Of course, Kang knew that the Dong family dared not make a decision without authorization, but did he just say that their family wanted to donate money to hold a temple fair?

She didn't understand why Miss Dong suddenly changed her words. It happened that Bai Jie had brought the crystal bowl containing plums to her at this time. She didn't care about Miss Dong's words for a while, and took a plum and took a bite... After this, she almost sore her big teeth. She could not bear it, and even spit out the plums in her mouth, covering her cheeks and said, "What is this? Why is it so sour? Princess..." She turned around, but found that Jiang Xian was leaning on the back of the chair and dozing.

"What's wrong with this?" Kang couldn't help but look at Bai Jie worriedly.
